King David said that God's word was like a lamp for his feet, and a light for his path. (Psalm 119:105)
God said that if a man keep his law, then he shall have life. (Lev 18:5)
The Torah, the instruction of the Creator, and the rest of the writings of the Tanakh contain profound truth in living this life to its fullest. In those writings and in the history of God and his people, Israel, there are lessons for every person, be they be of the families of man, or of the Creator's special people, the Israelites. There are warnings, and there are principles.
In this section, I discuss different aspects of the Tanakh. Some are more philosophical, dealing with beliefs and even critiquing my old beliefs. Some are grounded in the living of life and the actions we can do to have a better one. There'll be some controversy, and some disagreement, but I hope to challenge you and give you a different perspective on different issues.
All to God's glory
Important note: I have given a good number of biblical resources on my links page. There are bibles, encyclopedias (be careful of the secular encyclopedias, because they are mostly rooted in a humanistic (as opposed to theistic) philosophy), and links which have commentaries and dictionaries available.
If you feel like things may go over your head or you are not understanding some words or phrases, don't be afraid to use these resources. They're here for you and your learning.

One of my aims in life is to find out how a non-Jew is supposed to live in this life, and if it is possible to remain a non-Jew and live a life acceptable to the Most High. This section consists of my investigations and my conclusions whilst I rejected the oral law of Judaism which I now see validity for. I hope it helps someone out there, especially those who believe that the Noahide laws are not in the Jewish Bible.
DISCLAIMER: I wrote these articles when I didn't accept the oral law. My view on the oral law has changed, where I now see that it was given to Moses at Sinai for following generations with the written law. But this article is still useful because it shows those who do not accept the oral law that the Noahide commands are part of the written Torah and the Hebrew Scriptures, even though the oral law makes it plain and codifies it for Gentiles. Any statement disparaging to the oral law or the sages of the oral law should be viewed in light of what I've said before: as old and outdated views that do not reflect my current point of view.
Paul: One of the principle founders of christian theology, if not christianity itself. It is through his writings that much of the philosophy in the minds of the vast majority of those who profess to follow Jesus take form. If it were not for him, christianity wouldn't be what it is. This series takes a look at what he writes and how he treats (or more properly, mistreats) the Jewish Bible.
Disclaimer: I have strong views on some very controversial topics, so read some of these articles at your own risk. I respect constructive criticism, but if you really don't like what I have to say, you can simply go to another article or another section of the website that you do like. But I do hope you are challenged by what you read to study yourself and look for the truth. I haven't got the monopoly on truth, and I'm not perfect. Don't rely on any person (as much as is realistically possible) or his/her interpretation, but rely on the Creator and his word.
