Those stubborn facts

The Oxford School Dictionary states that a fact is 'Something that is certainly true'.
Does this not define the Torah of YHVH?.....TRUTH.
If the Torah is the truth....and we know it is then... we can conclude that it is also fact.
The problem with fact is that it won't budge, it won't disappear just because we don't like it. Fact makes us uncomfortable. Fact (if we are honest) will always force us to change the way we that we think, because no matter how hard one may believe that the sky is green, the fact/truth remains that it is not. The sad truth however, is that many prefer to continue on in their fantasy than allow the truth/fact, to set them free. We find it very hard now-days to distinguish between fact and opinion.
The Torah is NOT YHVH's opinion, it is NOT open for debate and it is NOT an invitation.
The Torah IS YHVH'S truth, it IS what YHVH commands and we ARE covenantly obligated to keep His commandments. We do not keep His commandments for salvation but because we are saved....are we not called the sons and daughters of YHVH? Is it not our deepest desire to please Him and to bring honour to His name....it should be.
I believe that the greatest tool the enemy uses with which to deceive us is our emotions. We are governed by our emotions, they fuel our desires and influence our decision making. YHVH knows that our heart/emotions will lead us atray if they are not brought under the authority of His word....our hearts have the greatest potential to deceive and become our number one enemy . This is why He has given us the clear boundaries of His Torah, if we remain within these boundaries we are kept safe. He has given us beautiful reminders, physical reminders (tzitzi mezuzah to name just two),to remind us daily that His Torah must govern and lead our emotions ....our lives. To remind us that we are set apart people, called out from this world to be seperate unto Him.

Just this week I have had two conversations with two dear christian friends, in which, they both commented that the path I am on (Torah observant) is not necessarily for them...they do not FEEL 'led' to walk  along the same path. They feel that YHVH has asked these things specifically of me...and not of them (sounds very much like opinion to me). The one commented and said 'as long as I am true to my heart'......really?? Can ones heart really be 'true' outside of the guidelines of truth/Torah? Does YHVH have different standards for His children.....different household rules that only apply to some?

I believe the FACTS speak for themselves.
