And it includes one of those &#8220;jots and tiddles&#8221;, too!<\/p>\n<p>In the Erev Shabbat review of what that means, Mark notes that the Book begins with the word &#8220;And&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; so it&#8217;s a continuation of SOMETHING, and notes that much of this whole Book also makes the vitally important point that it&#8217;s in there for a reason!<\/p>\n<p>And if we ignore that reason, or &#8211; worse still &#8211; try to convince ourselves that what He said hasn&#8217;t changed somehow DID, then what He really do for us after all? Scripture draws a clear bright line between &#8220;unintentional sin&#8221; and &#8211; well, whatever it should be called when the choice is ignorance instead.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.waytozion.org\/teachings\/mark_call\/2019\/SSM-3-15-19-Vayikra.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>SSM &#8220;Vayikra&#8221; 2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alternative link from Hebrew Nation Radio:<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1806-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SSM-3-15-19-Vayikra-Problematic-starts-and-renewed-intimacy-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SSM-3-15-19-Vayikra-Problematic-starts-and-renewed-intimacy-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3\">https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SSM-3-15-19-Vayikra-Problematic-starts-and-renewed-intimacy-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>Vayikra is a call to &#8216;intimacy&#8217; with YHVH &#8212; and after the events that closed out the Exodus, perhaps specifically a RETURN toward intimacy. And as part of that process, it includes some specific procedures for how that works, when one chooses to make &#8220;an offering of themselves&#8221; to Him.<\/p>\n<p>And right there, SOME of the issues with what has become dogma surrounding what is now called &#8220;sacrifice&#8221; begin to come into focus.<\/p>\n<p>After the overview introduction of Erev Shabbat, Mark follows up with the hardcore Scriptural proof that the reason not only a &#8216;whore church&#8217; that ignores His Word is STILL in exile but a whole society now chooses death over life is that what once passed for &#8216;priests&#8217; &#8220;FAILED to teach the difference&#8221; between the clean and unclean, holy and profane, good and evil. We don&#8217;t even understand the difference between an offering and a sacrifice, much less what has been &#8220;done away with&#8221; as opposed to done for us.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, this one is hard-hitting, certainly not &#8220;politically correct&#8221; (much less filled with &#8216;socialist just-us&#8217;) and not to be missed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.waytozion.org\/teachings\/mark_call\/2019\/WT-CooH-3-16-19-Vayikra.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>&#8220;Vayikra: &#8216;Finders Keepers&#8217; and other Acts of Willful Ignorance&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Alternative link from Hebrew Nation Radio:<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1806-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/WT-CooH-3-16-19-Vayikra-Finders-Keepers-and-Other-Excuses-podcast-xxx.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/WT-CooH-3-16-19-Vayikra-Finders-Keepers-and-Other-Excuses-podcast-xxx.mp3\">https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/WT-CooH-3-16-19-Vayikra-Finders-Keepers-and-Other-Excuses-podcast-xxx.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The combined part 1 and 2 files for both sections are up <a href=\"https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/mark-call-parsha-vayikra-teaching-from-shabbat-shalom-mesa-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here on the Hebrew Nation Radio page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa&#8217;s 2019 Torah cycle teaching for parsha &#8220;Vayikra&#8221; (Leviticus chapters 1 through 5) and related Scriptures. <a href=\"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/?p=1806\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5,11,12],"tags":[835,539,26,667,88,836,837,541,351,261,85,717,104,537,538,352,838,839,212,219,222,92,583],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1806"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1806"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1806\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1807,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1806\/revisions\/1807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/markniwot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
