Prayer An Abomination?

Prayer An Abomination?

Not many things are labeled as an abomination. Homosexuality is one of the few. Murder is not an abomination. In the last weeks I have been asking why prayer is answered so little in America today. The answer of coarse was found in scripture.

Proverbs 28
9He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, Even his prayer is an abomination.


I realized just how much of my life still yet was based on "I will be forgiven" rather than me chasing obedience in love. My own prayer became an abomination in my own eyes. People care so little about obeying the bible it is as if this scripture didn't even exist.

Mat 5
17 do not think that i came to destroy the torah or the prophets. i did not come to destroy but to complete. 18“for truly, i say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the torah till all be done.

There is no part of the bible greater than were Peter was given his vision. Which shows where christianity of today has turned away from the Torah by what we have done with the changes we have made to Acts 10. Acts 10 is well known as the part of the bible where Peter had his vision that we as christians have used to declare unclean animals as clean. It is my humble thoughts on this subject that Peter was the greatest judge of what this vision meant. Not me Not the pastor of a church but Peter Himself. That being said how did Peter interpret his own vision? The answer is found in Act 10:28


Acts 10
28And he said to them, “You know that a Yehuḏite man is not allowed to associate with, or go to one of another race. But Elohim has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Now here is the interesting thing about the bible. Eating of pig IS called an abomination Isaiah 66:17. The whole chapter of 66 has much to say about eating pig. It talks about how YHVH is angry with pig eaters. As I listened to this passage in Isaiah I realized that much of it is prophetic. It is talking about future events. Some of Isaiah talks about future events that have come to pass. But this was not talking about things that have been proven to have happened but rather it is talking about things that have not yet happened even today.
This really caught my attention because it asks this question. Is YHVH stupid? The answer of coarse is NO. Isaiah spoke what he was told about the events that have not happened. YHVH knew what He was going to tell Peter and how Peter would interpret it. You see YHVH is outside of time therefor He can see the beginning from the end. Meaning if He had told Peter go ahead eat pig, he would NOT have pronounced his anger through Isaiah in the old testament for something that has not happened yet in 2012. Please read these verses in prayer for understanding for yourself. I have left them out so that you will.

I think our focus needs to be on following His rules out of love with a desire for His blessings over us rather than to change the bible to mean things that are more comfortable to us. I personally would rather obey in error of something that was changed but I did not understand it than to error in disobedience for something that was NOT changed when I believed that it was. I feel that YHVH would honor misguided obedience more than ignorant disobedience. I want my prayer to be an abomination no more.

I am one.
