Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Matthew 15:2
King James Version
הושענא לבן דוד
It's 9:02 and my birthday morning and I feel great, God has maintained my lot big time, the Lord has blessed me with his mercy and faithful and I know I have a sure reward.
The tradition of the elders is a concept I began to challenge at the very least around the year 2015, with my body beginning to deteriorate from a fast and hard descend into alcoholism and depression having lost my family in divorce.
After double nickels, I realized that the maximumrocknroll/flipside ship had sailed and I was stuck with all this investment and little to show for it.
I still wanted to make a legacy to live a stamp and I recalled all this religious art that had endured for 100's of years to date, then I considered my mother and her Non-denominational, Pentecostal and well - I decided to read the King James Bible for myself and find out directly what God has to say.
God has been building and restoring me ever since.
Time for lunch.
Then burpees and a minimum 90 minute stationary bike ride.
.... that church org I was mentioning earlier, they are all modern now with social media and all but they still don't have much Bible - just lots of antidotal references; but hey not judging, I just know I want to be as far from error as possible, I'll stick with the book.
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Revelation 22:10-12 King James Version
Praise ye the LORD.
