Statement of Faith

There is one God--the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Yeshua is YHWH revealed in human flesh, born of a virgin, and an incarnation of the one God. Scripture is inspired of God and constitutes the perspicuous and plenary special revelation of God. The covenant with Abraham, given as a Torah to Jacob, and confirmed through Yeshua is one and eternal never to be abrogated by man. Yeshua the Messiah died vicariously on behalf of all sinners, rose from the dead on the third day, and bodily ascended into Heaven.Yeshua will return physically to inaugurate the kingdom of God and will physically reign upon the Earth.

Without a Great One

On the seat of Moses sitting
The arbiter of legal bidding
A code without a living judge
Claimed alive, yet mire or sludge.

This herald of the rabbinic scepter
Does not have an interceptor
To unravel an encoded rubric
Of rote and lore distant, delphic.

Written Law without tradition
Claimed to be without munition
With the sages, now revealed
To whose wisdom ere to yield.

Left alone, the Holy Writ
A legal code alone will sit
Rabbinic law to make it living
All of life swift encircling.

On the seat of Moses sitting
The arbiter of legal bidding
A code without a living judge
Claimed alive, yet mire or sludge.

This sagacious postulation
Must purview the destination
With the absence of a mentor
Who can pasken, true to tenor.

For the code to be alive
And a community to thrive
A living teacher, there must be
To apply the rule faithfully.

This rule by pliant custom set
Will not without it yet
Allow itself to exist
Without a teacher ere persist.

On the seat of Moses sitting
The arbiter of legal bidding
A code without a living judge
Claimed alive, yet mire or sludge.

No teacher there to be
It will happen for all to see
Yes, in the absence of a great one
Scepter passes to the chief gun.

From which flows the claim to life
Only shall end in strife
For what by Spirit is revealed
By this tradition, soon concealed.

For anyone unclear of the meaning to this composition, please consider that it is intended for a specific audience. I would rather not make explicit reference or identification of the audience in mind, but I will say that it is a parody or criticism of those who attempt to champion the authority rabbinic Judaism in the rabbinic writings without living authority.

To quickly clarify, I do not espouse adherence to rabbinic authority. However, I am trying to point out that those who claim the authority of the sages (rabbis) in dead letter (Talmud, etc.) without having a living sage or rabbi are being extremely inconsistent. In the end the "chief gun" will become a "great one."

"Rabbi" literally means "my great one."
