Why Christian Clergymen Are Unqualified to Pronounce Blessings on Their Congregations!!

The writer

Part I
A very simple question was posed to as many people as I had the opportunity of interacting one-on-one with. Sadly, all of them failed to give me the correct answer! So, I am going to pose the same question to you, my dear reader, and I pray that you do not disappoint me by giving me yet another wrong answer! And, please, be sincere to yourself, after I give the correct answer in this article, to admit that you never knew the answer if, indeed, you did not!!

My question is: Which ONE part of a human being’s body does not commit sin or can have no evil act tagged to it? Well, I hope you understand my question; knowing very well what evil acts that are committed with and or by a man’s tongue, phallic organ, hands, stomach, eyes, heart, etc.!

Now, if all of the people I posed this question to never had the correct answer for me, it means that as many as ALL of their leaders, of Christian and or other religious fraternities, also do not know the correct answer; for, otherwise, these leaders would have taught it to their followers to save them from the ignorance or lack of knowledge of the great spiritual value that is associated with this part of the human body, holiness wise; an ignorance that is bound to cause people to perish—cf. Hosea 4:6!!

And then, all the unquantifiable evil acts that have crept into the lives of mankind through a weird kind of evil fashion associated with this sinless part of the human body—a fashion that is in fact abusive of any man’s body and thus further renders the entire human body more susceptible and easily prone to sin—would not have happened and thus would have rendered sin in our world a much rarer act or occurrence!!

This sin-proof human body part of all mankind is: The hair of a man’s head and face; and even the hairs on his entire body!! There is simply no sin that can be committed by or with any human hair; and this is the answer I sought to receive from all those I posed my question to! Well, I hope readers of this article had this correct answer before I revealed it here.

As it is known, every baby is born into the world with a crop of hair on the one’s head and almost every baby’s hair is of black color. Black is the predominant hair color at birth for babies, even though colors such as brunette, blonde, auburn, etc., are seen with Caucasian babies; and very few Negro babies, such as those born as albinos, sport a blondish hair color from birth and into old age!!

Throughout life, Yahuwah Elohiym by His will, wisdom and power causes the hairs on a man’s head to grow in length and color variation from the typical black at birth, to grey, and then to white, for those who are blessed to attain advanced ages in life beyond age seventy!

Now, even though the amount of hair on a man’s head increases with growth from the date of birth through adulthood and to maturity, it begins to thin out naturally at the onset of old age, though this thinning is normally speeded up through human actions such as combing and brushing for those who treat their hairs in such manner! And so, throughout life, one is always blessed with some amount of hair on his head; all because the Creator made hairs to be a crown for a man’s head and also to act as a protective cover to shield his scalp and brain matter from the heat of the sun and its electromagnetic waves and, possibly, for other reasons too. So then, throughout a man’s lifespan on earth, the Creator constantly ensures that all men have hair on their heads.

We may not have full knowledge of why the Creator put hairs to be a crown for all mankind and yet does not give to women the extra hairs in beards, moustaches, sideburns, etc., that He gives to men! We may also not know the reasons why the Creator ensures that hairs on a man’s head not only grow in length but also to tougher textures, only to thin out with age!

However, one thing is certain, which is that it is the will of the Creator to provide facial hair types for both man and woman. So then, anyone who habitually scrapes away any or all of his facial hairs, will always have the Creator cause them to start to grow again overnight, just as fast as they are scraped off the man’s head or face!!

Now, because whatever Yahuwah Elohiym, the Creator, makes for man is essential to Him and beneficial to man, He expends a lot of energy, time, and craftsmanship, to produce and plant these human facial hairs on man with architectural mastery and finesse, and also ensures their constant maintenance till any man’s death!

Whatever Yahuwah Elohiym has created, He has done it for and or given it to man, and He expects man to keep it with all reverence, and with much thanks and appreciation to Him! He has therefore even done as to instruct man in His Towrah how to keep the facial hairs He has made for him for his own good, and to be a continual or eternal blessing to him!

Some of these Towrah instructions on the keeping of facial hairs are in Vayikra (Leviticus??) 19:27, 32 and 21:5, thus:—(19:27) “Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard”; (19:32) “Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man and fear thy Elohiym: I am Yahuwah”; and (21:5) “They shall not shave their head bald, neither shall they shave the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh”—cf. Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB).

These are general instructions that every Towrah-believer must obey and ensure that his lifestyle complies with them. For, as you may know, the obedience of the Towrah is life for every man; and Towrah-life is the very life lived by Yahuwah Elohiym, since no man instructs his children to live a certain kind of life that he is himself not living!!

Beyond these general instructions of the Towrah on the keeping of facial hairs, there are more specific and tougher ones that are obviously harder or more difficult to be obeyed by most people, and thus demand stricter self-control of the one who wants to live by them; all of which are meant to raise anyone’s capacity to holy living and thus the level of holiness abiding in the one, over and above that which comes ordinarily from and by the keeping of a man’s hair which is given naturally to him by his Maker.

These special Towrah instructions can be found in the sixth chapter of Bamidbar (Numbers??) of the Tanakh (Old Testament??). Here in Bamidbar of the Tanakh are spelt out by Yahuwah Elohiym what any of His children of the household of Yisroel, who are very determined or want to live very holy lifestyles beyond those ordinarily commanded of them in the Towrah, must commit themselves to live by. These special instructions in Bamidbar constitute what are known as the vows of a Naziyr (or Nazir).

The word Naziyr is a typical Ivrit (Hebrew??) word that is wrongly termed as “Nazarite” in the English Bible! The plural of Naziyr is Naziyrim, or Nazirim when its singular form is written as Nazir!

Let me quote from the King James Version (KJV) Bible these vows made by Naziyrim here for easy reference, according to Numbers (Bamidbar) 6:1-8: “(1) And the LORD (Yahuwah) spake unto Moses (Moshe), saying, (2) Speak unto the children of Israel (Yisroel) , and say unto them, When either a man or woman shall separate themselves to vow the vow of a Nazarite (Naziyr), to separate themselves unto the LORD (Yahuwah): (3) He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. (4) All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels to the husk. (5) All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD (Yahuwah), he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. (6) All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD (Yahuwah) he shall come at no dead body. (7) He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God (Elohiym) is upon his head. (8) All the days of his separation, he is holy unto the LORD (Yahuwah)”—words in parenthesis are mine.

As can be seen from the above quotation, the vows of Naziyrim are made, principally, in and by the dedication and consecration of one’s facial hairs unto Yahuwah Elohiym and to a strict compliance to a certain lifestyle of abstinence from certain foods and drinks. The Naziyr sort of gives back to Yahuwah Elohiym His gift of facial hairs that He gives to him, for Him to own and keep over a certain number of years, as may be fixed by the Naziyr of his own volition, or even forever; and whenever Yahuwah Elohiym Himself demands it of anyone, since no one can take back to one’s self what Yahuwah Elohiym, by His will, receives or takes from him!!

Part II
You see, of all the parts of the human body, it is only one’s facial hairs that can be dedicated and or consecrated to the Maker and be accepted by Him if left to be in the state and condition that they naturally are in! This is simply because facial hairs are holy by nature all the time, and forever remain so if they are left to exist naturally without tampering with them through such human activities like combing/brushing, plaiting, perming by chemical application, etc. all of which are done through the use of man-made products!!

No other part of the human body—as has descended from Adam and Chava (Eve??) and which is therefore prone to sin or can be used to commit sin—can be dedicated or consecrated, as it exists in its natural state, directly to Yahuwah Elohiym and be accepted by Him, without it first of all being killed and thus having its capacity and ability to commit sin rendered inert!

The fact is that, any living thing (inclusive of any living part of a man’s body other than his facial hair) that has to be offered to Yahuwah Elohiym must first be killed in sacrifice and then placed on a mizbeach, pronounced miz-bay-akh (altar??), to be burned, before He can accept and possess it forever for His holy use! For, once a man makes an offering to Yahuwah Elohiym by placing it on a mizbeach, he cannot take it back from Him since it is burned to ashes!

So then, since all parts of the human body of a man other than his facial hairs are, obviously, far more alive than and definitely not as inert as the hairs on it, they MUST all be killed in sacrifice before they may be offered to be accepted by and or used in the worship of Yahuwah Elohiym and or in any services to Him.

You see, because every other part of the human body (besides facial hairs) can be used in committing sin, such members of the human body must first be killed so as to be rendered impotent to the committing of sin before they can be offered to and be acceptable in any service to Yahuwah Elohiym. Such killing of any members of the human body and the handing over of same to Yahuwah Elohiym is what is termed as offering that living part of the human body as “a living sacrifice”—by, in, and as a daily and continuous act or lifestyle—unto Yahuwah Elohiym!

But then, someone may ask to know: how can one make such a sacrifice of a part or parts of his own body while keeping himself alive and not becoming physically dead in the whole?? Well, this is the dilemma of everyone who wants to live a holy life in order to please Yahuwah Elohiym and or be deemed eligible and fit for use in His service and worship!

The art of sacrificing some or all of the hyperactive or living parts of one’s living body and offering these living parts to the worship and service of Yahuwah Elohiym demands of the one to deny and subdue these body parts of their earthly (natural??) desires and appetites! It is a task undertaken by anyone desiring to be holy and thus to live a lifestyle that is meet for use by Yahuwah Elohiym; no one else partakes of this task for him who desires it!!

In this task of anyone wanting to sacrifice his entire living body to Yahuwah Elohiym, I see it very crucial and indispensable for the one to first begin by learning, accepting and living by the adage of the holy and wise that says: “Food is for the stomach; and not the stomach for food”!! In other words, what it means is that anyone who wants to sacrifice his entire body and offer it in whole to his Maker for Him to accept for His use, “must eat to live and not live to eat”!!

Anyone who is able to discipline his body and compels it to live in recognition and submission to these holy truths would have virtually overcome all the evil desires of all other members of his body which stir up lust or unholy appetites in him, compelling him to always sin or commit unholy acts. Well, even though this is my own experience, anyone may seek to do same to also be convinced through and by his own experience!

It is therefore no wonder that the vows to become a Naziyr unto Yahuwah Elohiym enjoin every Naziyr to abstain from some very common goodies meant for the stomach, particularly, the very ubiquitous fruit of the vine in Yisroel (whether fresh or dried), drinks made from the vine and any other strong drinks; and from the eating of any animal flesh that are generally not permitted under the Towrah to be consumed by any Towrah believer—cf. Vayikra (Leviticus??) chapter 11!

These vows all hinge on abstinence from consumables meant for the stomach and all these vows are so made because the road to a holy lifestyle for an entire human body must first begin with, from, and by the disciplining of the desires of stomach! Just stop to think about this statement of mine so you may agree with me.

And this is why everyone who desires spiritual development, progress and empowerment is compelled by Yahuwah Elohiym Himself and or of the one’s own volition to make fasting a periodic lifestyle in order to subdue the stomach of its appetites, so as to make way for the spiritual prosperity of the entire body!

So then, when one lives the lifestyle of a Naziyr according to all the vows that he makes unto Yahuwah Elohiym in consecrating all of his facial hairs to Him, such vows not only establish holiness in his naturally holy parts of his body, which are his facial hairs, but also can and does establish or seek to bring about holiness in all members of his body!

The fact is that, the spiritual value and power in and of the vows made by Naziyrim go to eventually establish holiness—that is, the very lifestyle of Yahuwah Elohiym—in every part of the body of a Naziyr, which he then guards jealously and diligently to the extent of not coming into contact with or into the presence of the corpse of even his own father, mother, brother or sister in order not to be rendered unholy according to the statutes and ordinances of Yahuwah Elohiym!!

And yet, sadly, this state of holiness of Naziyrim is unknown and therefore not cherished or sought after by any of today’s Christian clergymen who claim to be in the service of Yahuwah Elohiym! For, who can point out to me any one Christian clergyman today who lives by the vows of a Naziyr?? And if Naziyrim are nonexistent among all the teeming Christian clergymen, how then can these Christian clergymen be deemed worthy of pronouncing blessings on their followers in and by their “benedictions” they chant over them at the end of their “worship” services they conduct for their followers??

The statement of blessings that must always be pronounced upon the children of Yisroel by their Kohen Gadol (High Priest??) can be read in Bamidbar (Numbers??) 6:22-27 and this pronouncement is meant to be in consequence to the submission of every Kohen Gadol to all the vows sworn by Naziyrim as captured in the first verses of Bamidbar chapter six!!

In fact, these instructions of Yahuwah Elohiym for all Naziyrim are the prerequisite qualifications for anyone who is deemed worthy to pronounce these blessings upon the children of Yisroel!! And so, never in the history of Yisroel was there a Kohen Gadol who was not a Naziyr!!

So then, one can only wonder what kind of blessings are pronounced upon the people who are led by Christian clergymen—in, by, and through the “benedictions” of these clergymen at the end of their services which they normally presume to be in worship and praise unto Yahuwah Elohiym—if none of these Christian clergymen know even casually about the vows of Naziyrim, not to even talk about these clergymen committing themselves to these vows??

In all of this, I pray that my understanding of Christianity as being an unholy man-made religion of no spiritual value will become yours also, my dear reader, in order for you to deliver yourself from the false hope of salvation Christians hold!!

Shalawam!
