Changing Moral Standards
In today’s world, divorce has become increasingly common. A man and a woman may dissolve and dishonor the covenant made in God’s holy name, then enter new relationships, corrupting their bodies and souls. The Roman religion and tradition compels Christians to divorce and remarry, legally enforcing what is sinful, and then regards them as inferior.
God has said, “Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another. Do not swear falsely by My name and so profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:11–12).
Yet many couples enter into marriage by taking the holy name of YAHWEH or JESUS, and later separate, giving their bodies to others, without recognizing that they are sinning against God. When couples cheat and deceive, they often fail to acknowledge that they are committing sin against GOD by betraying one another.
The reason is that they are not properly taught to honor the holy name of GOD. If the foundation is not truly laid in reverence for His holy name, how can they remain faithful to the vows and oaths made in that name?
Historically, before JESUS, the Romans practiced monogamy. A Roman man could legally have only one wife at a time, as having multiple wives simultaneously was not permitted under Roman law. However, men could still have unofficial partners, including relationships with slaves or prostitutes. Divorce was also common and relatively easy, and either the husband or the wife could initiate it. These practices were shaped in part by laws established under Augustus. Today, many the world and Christians appear to follow similar patterns, which reflect Roman-influenced traditions rather than biblical foundations. As a result, the original spiritual depth and covenantal understanding of marriage may be overlooked. Yet the marriages of biblical patriarchs such as Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and David are often judged disgracefully, but society readily accepts divorce and remarriage.
This creates a clear contradiction. Those whom God honored are now criticized, while practices once considered sinful are redefined as acceptable. Such shifts raise an important question: are moral standards being shaped by Scripture, or by culture, or have both been corrupted because believers have strayed far from the biblical roots of patriarchal faith.
The Bible provides guidance even in how to pray. Acts of humility, including prostration, are seen throughout Scripture as expressions of submission to God.
Yet many have moved away from these practices. Over time, different forms of worship developed, often influenced more by cultural shifts than by biblical patterns. The real reason is that people did not honor God and His commandments, nor did they honor those whom God honored.
Abraham, Moses, and David all prayed in prostration. This practice is now largely missing and cannot be restored until believers come out of Roman Christianity and return to Patriarchism.
When the method of prayer changes, the depth of submission is also affected. The Church and many Christians may hear the Word of God, but it does not impact them as it did the Patriarchs because the Patriarchs did what God commanded them to do. Click Here to Learn More about Biblical Prostration
When God gave the Ten Commandments to the Patriarchist Believer, Prophet Moses, the first three commandments focused on God, and the fourth commandment “Remember Shabbat” emphasized fellowship with Him, setting apart a day as holy, a day for prayer, and a day for rest.
The Sabbath, or Shabbat in Hebrew, means “to rest.” In the weekly cycle, Saturday is Shabbat, as it is called in Hebrew. In addition to the weekly Sabbath, there are seven annual Sabbaths in a year.
It is a divinely appointed day to cease work, recover strength, and experience peace. Rest is not merely physical, it is spiritual. It allows the soul to reconnect with God, the Creator, who Himself rested on the seventh day after creation.
All Hebrew prophets, from Moses to John the Baptist, and even Jesus Himself, observed the Sabbath. Click Here To Learn more about Shabbat
The present world, and the world without God, has no answer for why there are seven days in a week. The original spiritual foundation comes from God’s creation week, with seven days as a divine pattern.The answer lies in the Creator’s design, the Creator of the universe guides us through His Word Holy Bible.
The seven day week originates from the creation account in the Holy Bible, where God created the heavens and the earth in six days and blessed the seventh and made it holy. Each day of creation, light and darkness, sky and waters, land and vegetation, sun and moon, birds and fish, animals and humans—was marked as a separate day, culminating in the seventh day of rest, which God blessed and made holy.
This pattern established the rhythm of work and rest for humanity, showing that life is meant to balance labor with spiritual renewal. As it is written:
“Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.” Genesis 2:3
As believers following the ways of the patriarchs, we recognize that God Himself has appointed sacred times for His people. These are not mere traditions, but divine instructions given to guide us in holiness, obedience, and fellowship with Him. The seven feasts of God reveal His eternal plan and the rhythm He set for mankind:
Passover (Pesach) – God delivered Abraham’s descendants from bondage in Egypt, Feast of salvation through the Lamb.
Reference: Exodus 12:1–14; Leviticus 23:4–5
Unleavened Bread – a time to remove sin and live in purity.
Reference: Exodus 12:15–20; Leviticus 23:6–8
Firstfruits – we offer gratitude to God for His provision, following the example of the patriarchs who gave the first of their harvest to the Lord.
Reference: Leviticus 23:9–14; Deuteronomy 26:1–11
Pentecost (Shavuot) – we celebrate God’s Word given to Moses and the outpouring of His Spirit,
Reference: Exodus 34:22; Leviticus 23:15–22; Acts 2:1–4
Trumpets (Yom Teruah) – The call to awaken and return to God
Reference: Leviticus 23:23–25; Numbers 29:1–6
Atonement – Need for repentance
Reference: Leviticus 16:29–34; Leviticus 23:26–32
Tabernacles (Sukkot) – we dwell in the presence of God, rejoicing in His protection and provision,
Reference: Leviticus 23:33–44; Deuteronomy 16:13–15
These feasts are living testimonies of God’s covenant and His divine pattern for mankind. By following them, we walk in the path of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, aligning our lives with the Creator’s will and the eternal rhythm He set before time began.
