.....	A Goy Guide to the	.....
	What is a Goy? That is the Yiddish word for a non-Jew. I am a Goy, but I was raised with a respect for the Law of Moses and those who adhere to it. Although I'm Christian, I revere and respect the Law of Moses as being the Law the Almighty gave to His people from Mount Sinai. Through the years I have discovered that through understanding the Law and the People of the Law I become better acquainted with my own religion, for it was from this foundation the Christian church was built. What Is my Goal? It is not my goal to explain modern Judaism. If that's what you want then please go find a good Rabbi! My goal is to give a simple explanation of the Law of Moses as contained in the Holy Scriptures in order to help others understand the great religious and social foundation which came from the Almighty through Moses. If anyone feels I am teaching or presenting anything wrong, please write and tell me so I can do this all correctly. I will use the King James Version of the Holy Bible for all quotations unless specified otherwise. For more information on the Law of Moses and Judaism in general, I recommend the following websites: Judaism 101 - http://www.jewfaq.org Jewish Virtual Library - http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org

VOWS and PLEDGES WAR Weeks, Feast of WITCHCRAFT / SORCERY Yom Kippur -------------------------------------------------------- The purpose of this scripture study has been to present the Law of Moses as it was given to Moses, and to present in a way that all may understand. And that is what I have done. There have been some well-meaning fellow-Christians who have written me, distressed that I have not gone on to explain how the Gospel of Christ completed and fulfilled the Law of Moses. This was not my intent; to me it is clear and needs little or no explanation. As a Christian, it is my belief that the Law of Moses was the 'schoolmaster' to prepare Israel for that which the Messiah was to bring. It is my faith that Jesus of Nazareth was and is that Messiah, and that He fulfilled the purpose and mission of the Law of Moses, and part of the completion act was the giving of his Gospel. Those who are distressed that I have not covered this in this scripture study will be excited and/or relieved to know that I am writing a book on how the Gospel of Christ completed and fulfilled the purpose and meaning of the Law of Moses. When I am done I will let you know. Meanwhile, here are a few POEMS I wrote on the subject.
