Who I am, and what "Torah for Rockstars" is all about!

Welcome to my blog, Torah for Rockstars. My name is Roman Asbill and I am not Jewish by birth or religion. I am a Goy (Non-Jewish), a G-d fearer. Basically that means:

• I am a monotheist (I only believe in one G-d)*
• I believe that one G-d clothed Himself in humanity in the revelation of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah
• I believe the death and resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus) grafts me into the commonwealth of Israel (in no way replacing the Jews or minimizing their leadership, covenants, role or position as His bride and the "apple of His eye".)
• I believe the Torah (the principles and instructions of the one true G-d) are applicable to all of humanity.
• I believe some of the principles and instructions are mandatory for all of humanity, under penalty of death (after all, the wages of sin is physical death...which we all inherit.)
• I believe some of the principles apply only to certain people... (beards for men, menstrual purity for women, laws regarding the priesthood, military, the native born or Jew, the nations.)
• I believe all of humanity (Jew or Gentile) is invited to follow the Torah (principles and instructions of G-d) to as high a standard as they choose.
• I believe there is life in the commands of G-d, when done out of love toward G-d and not legalism under man.
• I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT SALVATION IS OF WORKS (lest any man should boast)
• I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT KEEPING THE TORAH SAVES OR PUTS YOU IN RIGHT STANDING WITH G-D
• I believe the Torah (principles and instructions of G-d) are the instruction manual for a long, fulfilling life here on earth.
• So you might ask... Are we obligated or invited to follow the Torah? To which I simply answer... Yes.

I realize some of you may or may not understand the bulk of what I just wrote. Some of you may care or find yourself concerned with what I just wrote. Some of you may not care at all.

I wrote the above for all the "theological terrorist" that visit this blog. I need to tell you right now... THIS BLOG IS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT. I am not here to argue the minutia of the Law. I am here to make the Torah understandable to the common man and to show the world the benefit of a Torah lifestyle based on the Halacha (Jewish law) of Rabbi Yeshua (Jesus the Messiah)

My only hope is to take what has become complex and make it simple again... This blog is not about Salvation... It is about being a decent human being and living life according to the Words of G-d... Never the less, I will state this emphatically here and now for all the world to see and silence the critics (lol...critics will never be silent). Salvation comes ONLY from the hand of the One true G-d... I simply believe that He loved us enough to humble Himself and put on flesh in the form of Yeshua the Messiah and that He came and lived the Torah so we would know how... I also believe He expects us to use our brain, to take every situation into consideration and not compromise for the sake of pleasure and ease... Yet on the other hand to not allow those principles to become the goal... But to pursue these principles and instructions through the interpretation of Yeshua in order to reach the Goal. What is the goal you might ask? That's the point of this blog...and I will spend my life toward that end!

* I do not spell out any name for G-d as to not offend the Jewish people who may read this blog. (if you are non-Jewish and offended... Get over yourself!
