Q) I had never heard Lev 19:19 regarding a garment of mixed fabrics. Can you please expand on this as to what this means for believers today?

A) In Genesis the first chapter Yahweh sets out a very simple standard:

Gen 1:11 And Elohim said, Let the earth sprout tender sprouts, the herb seeding seed, the fruit tree producing fruit according to its kind, whichever seed is in it on the earth. And it was so.

Gen 1:12 And: the earth bore tender sprouts, the herb seeding seed according to its kind, and the fruit tree producing fruit according to its kind, whichever seed is in it. And Elohim saw that it was good.

He created everything within judicial order according to “their own kind”. He did not intend to mix different kinds of seeds such as watermelon and tomato to make a waterato. If He wanted to, then He could have created such a food.

When someone mixes things unnaturally against Yahweh’s directive, then in case they are stating that not everything Yahweh created was good and they are indeed adding to creation.

In Gen 1:1 it states “Elohim created”, the word in Hebrew for create is “borah”, and this word in scripture is only used for Yahweh as creator but never is used for a human being as only Yahweh is a creator.

In the scripture about mixed clothing it states not to mix wool and linen. Wool comes from an animal and linen comes from a plant, so it would be going against Yahweh’s judicial order. Believers should wear clothing made of one fabric, such as cotton, or wool etc. There is nothing wrong with wearing a cotton shirt and a wool jacket.

Q) Can you please explain the many inconsistencies in details in the OT and Ex. Acts 7:14-16, the 75 people of Jacob’s family who went to Egypt and the 66 in Gen 46:26-27. Who are the 9 unaccounted for?

A) The fact that an answer may not be evident to a reader does not constitute an On the contrary, to think that the bible was originally written about 3,500 years ago when writing and alphabets were just beginning, and was an ongoing project inspired by the Holy Spirit for more than 1500 years ending with the Apostle John’s writings at the end of the 1^st century A.D., one would be quite amazed at the accuracy and consistent correlation of all books.

As far as the difference in numbers from Genesis 46 and Acts 7, it is very simple. The scripture in Genesis stated the number of people who went into Egypt from Israel from Jacob’s loins was 66. However, the very next verse shows all of those from his loins including Ephraim and Manasseh and their children were 75. Remember in Gen 48:5-6, Jacob claims Ephraim and Manasseh as his own children, so that is why they are included in his lineage with their children.

Gen 46:26 All the souls belonging to Jacob coming into Egypt, those springing from his loins, besides the wives of the sons of Jacob, all the souls were sixty six.

Gen 46:27  And the sons of Joseph which were born to him in Egypt, two souls. All the souls belonging to the house of Jacob coming into Egypt were seventy-five.

Gen 48:5 And now your two sons, those born to you in the land of Egypt before my coming to you in Egypt, are mine, Ephraim and Manasseh, like Reuben and Simeon, even they shall be mine.

Gen 48:6 And your offspring which you father after them, they shall be yours. According to the name of their brothers they shall be called in their inheritance.

Q) If the RuachHaKodesh is not a person, then how come one can commit a sin against the RuachHaKodesh? The so-called unpardonable Can one commit a sin against a non-person?

A) Sometimes by the very question itself we can start to conclude the proper answer. If the Holy Spirit was a person then by being able to blaspheme and sin against Yahweh the Father and Yahshua the Son, but not against the Holy Spirit, then in essence they are putting the Holy Spirit above Yahweh and Yahshua, which we never ever see in scripture. Also, if the Holy Spirit was a being why would it not have a name like Yahweh and Yahshua have? Cleary the Holy Spirit is not a separate being from Yahweh, but His eternal power emanating from

So what does it mean then to blaspheme the Holy Spirit?

Scripture tells us that there will be a judgment day in which every human being will be judged before the throne of Yahweh by Yahshua.

2nd Cor 5:10 For we all must appear before the judgment seat of Messiah, so that each one may receive the things done through the body, according to what he did, whether good or bad.

We are also told in scripture that Yahweh looks at the heart and will only judge unconverted people by how much they understood and knew at the time.

Rom 2:14 For when pagans not having the Torah do by nature the things contained in the Torah, they not having the Torah are a law unto themselves,

Rom 2:15 who show the work of the Torah written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing with them, and their thoughts either accusing or even excusing one another

Rom 2:16 in a day when YAHWEH judges the hidden actions of men, as my good news teaches, through Yahshua Messiah.

Luk 12:10 And everyone who shall say a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven Him; but the ones blaspheming against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

Luk 12:47 But that slave knowing the will of His Master, and not preparing, nor doing according to His will, will be beaten with many stripes.

Luk 12:48 But he who does not know and does the thing that is worthy of stripes will be beaten with fewer stripes. For anyone who is given much to him, much is required from him. And to he whom they have committed much to him, much more they will require by his hand.

Can we see that to those who do not have the Holy Spirit and are being led by only their wicked human nature and have never had their eyes opened to Yahweh’s truth by His Holy Spirit, they have less accountability because they are not willingly rejecting the truth, but are doing so in blindness as the Apostle Paul was in his unconverted state. So when Yahshua returns, Yahweh can pour His spirit on these unconverted people (Joel 2:28) and their mind will be opened to Yahweh’s truth and they can obey.

However, if the Holy Spirit (power of Yahweh and spirit of truth) opens up a person’s mind to the truth of Yahweh now and they reject it, then, there is nothing more to give them in the resurrection and they will go to the Lake of Fire for they have committed the unpardonable sin, which is consciously and knowingly living a lifestyle of sinning even after having the Holy Spirit reveal Yahweh’s truth..

John 9:39 And Yahshua said, I came into this world for judgment that the ones not seeing may see, and the ones seeing may become blind.

John 9:40 And those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and said to Him, Are we also blind?

John 9:41 Yahshua said to them, If you were only blind you would have no sin, but now you say that, We see. Because of this your sin is unmovable.

Yahshua clearly told them that if they were truly spiritually blind to what they were doing their sin would not be held against them in the judgment, but since they had the Holy Spirit reveal who He was to them and they rejected it, they would be accountable to blaspheming the truth by rejecting the truth of the Holy Spirit.

Look at what Yahshua said about the unconverted Romans who were crucifying Him?

Luk 23:34 And Yahshua said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. And dividing His garments, they cast a lot.

Yahshua said this because the soldiers had no idea that they were casting lots for His garment simply to fulfill scripture, they did so in ignorance. However, look at what Yahshua says to the scribes and Pharisees who knew that He was the Messiah and purposely crucified Him simply to try to retain their own power.

Mat 8:11 But I say to you that many will come from east and west, and will recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven,

Mat 8:12 but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

The Holy Spirit is the power and very mind of Yahweh that leads a person into all truth, and if the person will surrender to it, it can transform the way that he thinks and acts into the very mind of Yahweh.

John 14:15 If you love Me, keep My commandments.

John 14:16 And I will petition the Father, and He will give you another one which will end the curse, that it may remain with you forever,

John 14:17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see it nor know it. But you know it, for He dwells with you and shall be in you.

Clearly, blaspheming Yahweh’s Holy Spirit is having Yahweh send His Holy Spirit to a human being and opening his/her mind to the truth of Yahweh, and then rejecting that truth and choosing the ways of Satan’s society. People at the resurrection can receive the Holy Spirit and it can open their mind to truth, but to those who have already received the Holy Spirit in this life and have rejected it, there is nothing more for Yahweh to give them, for they have blasphemed His redemptive changing power through His Spirit and they will go to the Lake of Fire. This in no way proves that the Holy Spirit is a person or separate being from Yahweh.
