My Messages to the World

The common believer that calls himself a “christian” or “catholic” does not know what God commands in the Torah of Moses. The commands of God therein are unknown to them, although they know a few commands that are mentioned in the New Testament. They think that because they stopped committing one sin that they know, that they are now in obedience to God, unaware that God has many more commands defining good and evil. And these commands are found in the Torah of Moses. Certainly God commands us not be sexually immoral. But God also commands men to grow beards. We are also forbidden from shaving the beard and we also cannot alter its edges. We also cannot alter the edges of the hair on the head, nor alter the edges of the eyebrows. We must let our hair grow naturally without altering any of its edges. It is common for women to pluck the edges of their eyebrows, and for men to taper the edges of the hair on the back of the head in the posterior neck area, but these acts are forbidden. We can, however, trim the hair and keep it at a certain length. We are also forbidden from tattooing our bodies. We cannot apply ink deep into the skin of our bodies that would make it a permanent engraving on the skin. We can, however, apply washable colors on the skin. And washable cosmetics for women are permissible. And just like permanent tattoos are forbidden, dying the hair is also forbidden, because regardless that hair grows and regenerates it is still a permanent change in color to the existing hair. Washable hair dyes are permissible though. Any women that marries a man must cover her head, because this is a sign that she is now in submission to a man, her husband. Yet an unmarried woman does not need to cover her head. Men and women must wear four cornered tallits with four tzitzis on each corner. The tallit must be white linen, and the tzitzis with linen thread and one blue wool thread. This shaatnez mixture of wool and linen is only permitted in the tzitzis and also in the garments of the set-apart priests. No where else can wool and linen be mixed together, because this is a set-apart mixture, according to the Torah.
