In the language and heart of God,
responsibility
establishes the very core of who we are in God.
The word
responsible, in its various Hebrew forms, appears 32 times in scripture,
according to the CJB translation. Although 32 is a number, in Hebrew, the
figures of that number also spell out the Hebrew word “heart”.
In marriage, the man and the woman are accountable to Adonai and to each other,
but in very different ways. Scripture teaches us that the safety and very life
of the other person needs to be at the center of their actions and decisions.
In the Lord, the concept of responsibility is essential and complex.
Responsibility is essential to life. We are all responsible for preserving and
protecting life.
I myself will guarantee his safety; you can
hold me responsible. If I fail to bring him to you and present him to
your face, let me bear the blame forever
Genesis 43:9
"When you build a new house, you must build a low
wall around your roof; otherwise someone may fall from it, and you will be
responsible for his death.
Deuteronomy 22:8
דּם
dâm
Bloodguilt,
blood (as that which when shed causes death) of man or an animal; the juice of
the grape; figuratively bloodshed, that is, drops of blood: guiltiness,
bloodthirsty
For the married couple, the Word of
Adonai is the only authority and guide to which they are responsible. All the
worlds expectations and ideologies must be regarded with great suspicion and
rejected because they do not align with Scripture.
When it comes to marriage, the demands of the world will routinely clash with
the requirements set by Adonai. Frequently career or job demands and choices,
opinions of friends and neighbors, and even worldly “advice” from well-meaning
family members will seem important or even good. The choice must be swift and
clear on the side of the Word - regardless of consequences in the world.
The captain and his officers
went and brought them, but not with force; because they were afraid of being
stoned by the people. They conducted them to the Sanhedrin, where the cohen
hagadol demanded of them, "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name!
Look here! you have filled Yerushalayim with your teaching; moreover, you are
determined to make us responsible for this man's death!" Kefa and the
other emissaries answered, "We must obey God, not men. The God of our fathers
raised up Yeshua, whereas you men killed him by having him hanged on a stake.
God has exalted this man at his right hand as Ruler and Savior, in order to
enable Isra'el to do t'shuvah and have her sins forgiven. We are witnesses to
these things; so is the Ruach HaKodesh, whom God has given to those who obey
him." On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were infuriated and wanted
to put the emissaries to death. But one of the members of the Sanhedrin rose to
his feet, a Parush named Gamli'el, a teacher of the Torah highly respected by
all the people. He ordered the men put outside for a little while and then
addressed the court: "Men of Isra'el, take care what you do to these people.
Some time ago, there was a rebellion under Todah, who claimed to be somebody
special; and a number of men, maybe four hundred, rallied behind him. But upon
his being put to death, his whole following was broken up and came to nothing.
After this, Y'hudah HaG'lili led another uprising, back at the time of the
enrollment for the Roman tax; and he got some people to defect to him. But he
was killed, and all his followers were scattered. So in the present case, my
advice to you is not to interfere with these people, but to leave them alone.
For if this idea or this movement has a human origin, it will collapse.
But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them; you might even find
yourselves fighting God!" They heeded his advice. After summoning the
emissaries and flogging them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of
Yeshua, and let them go. The emissaries left the Sanhedrin overjoyed at
having been considered worthy of suffering disgrace on
account of him.
And not for a single day, either in the Temple court or in private homes, did
they stop teaching and proclaiming the Good News that Yeshua is the Messiah.
Acts 5:26-42

Talmud (rabbinic teachings) and No Christian doctrine. Straight biblical

Messianic Jews
