Q) Should a woman pierce her ears?

A) The piercing of the ear was a sign of slavery and Scripture forbids flesh cutting and tattooing.

Exo 21:5 And if the slave truly says, I love my master, my wife and my children; I do not desire to go out free,

Exo 21:6 his master shall bring him to Elohim, and one shall bring him to the door, or to the doorpost; and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.

Lev 19:28 And you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead; and you shall not put on yourself any etched tattoo writing or marking; I am YAHWEH.

Q) Is a civil marriage in Law offices considered covenant? If this marriage fails can one remarry in church to someone else?

A) In the Garden of Eden there was no civil marriage, or church marriage, just marriage, and Yahshua our Savior clearly said that from creation marriage between one man and one woman till death; that they must stay together was for all human beings.

Mark 10:5 And answering, Yahshua said to them, With respect to your hardheartedness he wrote this command to you.

Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of creation YAHWEH made them male and female. (Gen 1:27)

Mark 10:7 “Because of this, a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife,

Mark 10:8 and the two shall be one flesh;” so that they no longer are two, but one flesh. (Gen 2:24)

Mar 10:9 Therefore, what YAHWEH has yoked together, man cannot put apart.

The marriage covenant has been the staple of society since the Garden of Eden and when 2 people take their vows of marriage in front of witnesses they are bound to each other until death do them part.

Q) If Christmas is a pagan holiday should we still celebrate it? And~if we don’t celebrate it, then when should we celebrate the birth of Yahshua?

A) Christmas is not the birth of Yahshua, but comes from an evil pagan holiday called Saturnalia with all types of debauchery. In all the Bible there are many births such as the 12 tribes of Israel, Isaac, Samuel, John the Baptist and Yahshua Himself and yet there is not one incidence where the date is given as birthdays were never celebrated in ancient times. There is never a command to celebrate Yahshua’s birth but we are commanded to celebrate His death at Passover each year.

Ecc 7:1 A good name is better than good oil; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.

1st Cor 11:24 and giving thanks, He broke and said, take, eat, this is My body which is broken on behalf of you, this do in remembrance of Me.

Q) Is it appropriate to say amen after prayers?

A) The Hebrew word Amen means “so be it” and actually comes from the Hebrew root word for the word for faith. It is listed many times in the Bible and is appropriate to use after prayers.

Q) Hi, most wines are produced by using yeast in the fermentation process, so how can wine be suitable for the Passover service? Because bread and the fruit of the vine represents the body and the blood of the Messiah Yahshua, the bread is clearly defined as So can the fruit of the vine be leavened? Could you please explain more about this, thanks.

A) The Hebrew word for leaven “chametz” refers to grains not liquids. Also, if you look below at the process of how wine is made you will see that the yeast in wine actually dissipates in the fermenting process. So wine would be permissible for Passover and was used by Jews for thousands of years, including when Yahshua Messiah walked the earth.

“Upon the introduction of active yeasts to the grape must, phosphates are attached to the sugar and the six-carbon sugar molecules begin to be split into three-carbon pieces and go through a series of rearrangement reactions. During this process, the carboxylic carbon atom is released in the form of carbon dioxide with the remaining components becoming acetaldehyde. The absence of oxygen in this anaerobic process allows the acetaldehyde to be eventually converted, by reduction, to ethanol.

During the conversion of acetaldehyde, a small amount is converted, by oxidation, to acetic acid which, in excess, can contribute to the wine fault known as volatile acidity (vinegar taint). After the yeast has exhausted its life cycle, they fall to the bottom of the fermentation tank as sediment known as lees.Yeast ceases its activity whenever all of the sugar in must has been converted into other chemicals or whenever the alcohol content has reached 15% alcohol per unit volume; a concentration strong enough to halt the enzymatic activity of almost all strains of yeast”.
