Not One Is Good, Not Even One

The Attempt

I am going to attempt to give you understanding concerning this passage in the Book of Psalms, where it states, “There is none that does good, no, not one” (Psalm 14:3). Many modern-day Christians interpret this to mean that no one will ever be perfect, but this is not true. Yeshuas himself commanded, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). So he wants us to imitate the Father, as He himself did. Did the Father keep the Sabbath? Yes, he did. If we teach perfection according to the Commandments is unnecessary and unachievable, we contradict his words-making our teaching corrupt.

Older Writings

The Old Testament—the books of the prophets and the Torah—must align with the message of Yeshua, the Son. If his teachings do not harmonize with the Father’s message in the Torah (the first five books), then our understanding is flawed. Hopefully, many will recognize that much of what they learn from pastors or leaders contradicts the Scriptures themselves. To extricate ourselves from such false interpretations and doctrines, there is only one path: read the Scriptures for ourselves. We do not know these leaders’ true walks—what they do behind closed doors, how deeply they engage with the text, or where their passions and interests truly lie. We hear them speak about the Scriptures, but if we outsource our salvation to others, we court grave danger. Once in heaven, we cannot return to earth to undo our actions or unlearn our errors. We must be vigilant, for there are no do-overs. We have but one chance, and that is now: either we believe what others say about reaching heaven, or we heed what the Father commands—“Seek Me.” He did not say to seek a pastor or leader.

Do Not Start with Matthew or John

Instead, immerse yourself in the Scriptures and study them independently. Do not begin with Matthew or John, as modern religion instructs, since this creates space for injecting false doctrines. The best approach is to read the book from the beginning, from Genesis to Revelation, repeatedly. Not just once, for each full reading equips us with new insights and tools, which we then apply afresh from the start. By cycling front to back, front to back, we gain deeper understanding and learn to evade the deceptions forewarned in Scripture, such as the strong delusion Elohim will send to those who do not love the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:11).

Moses

Through Moses, Elohim prophesied-Deuteronomy 31:29-that these people would stray and rebel. No surprise. Then in Psalm 14:3 David simply confirmed it: every soul gone aside, none righteous, none good-no, not one. Prophecy fulfilled. So Yeshua came-not to invent Christianity, a nickname thrown by unbelievers in Antioch-but to revive Torah (the first five books). First John 2:24: obey what you heard from the beginning (the Torah), not Sunday Sabbath. Genesis 1st chapter, first verse, literally says, “in the beginning”. Grace once shielded the ignorant; they hadn’t met the Teacher. But Yeshua-the same one who guided them in the cloud of Exodus 13:21-was there at the Red Sea, drowning Pharaoh when rebellion peaked. He’s here now, teaching the Father’s own words, not his own. Disobey, and He’ll bury you just like then. Modern churches ignore all ten commandments-like Sabbath, like kosher-like grace erased them. But you can’t rely on compromised pastors and leaders. They’re blind. Go straight to the scriptures. Obey them. That’s how you secure your salvation. Skip the corrupt middleman. This is something I’m sure we can all agree on.

A Legitimate Question

People say to me, So you’re saying eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, hand for a hand. How is that grace? 

I say, Because Yeshua summarized it: love your neighbor as yourself. If you truly love your neighbor the way you love yourself, you won’t gouge his eye out-because you wouldn’t gouge your own. You won’t cut off his hand-because you wouldn’t cut off your own. You won’t break his tooth-because you wouldn’t break yours. In other words,

“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭12‬

The essence is a core summary of what’s taught in the Law and the Prophets-the books from Joshua to Malachi, after Deuteronomy and before Matthew. The Law of Moses, the Torah? Israelites-not Moses-refused it when Elohim spoke straight to him, no middleman, no mix-up. Yeshua didn’t uproot Elohim’s Law; he showed us how to avoid its penalty-by living as Elohim taught us in the Torah. What we believe shapes our walk; salvation rides on it. Bad doctrine, bad walk. Pure biblical truth is everything. Simple.

Trust no one-not leaders, not pastor, not priest, not therapist. They’re modern-day Pharisees, rotten to the core. We know just by watching: they skip Yeshua’s commandments. They don’t eat kosher, devouring meats Elohim and the prophets called detestable. Don’t resemble them at all. They pick what they like, injecting their traditions, acting like true believers-but they’re not. Confusing those who are ignorant. Do we love them? Absolutely. But we must do everything Elohim commanded. Love our neighbor-yes. But no compromise, especially if we’re truly his children. We rebuke their teachings, point by point, until truth stands clear.

Shalom!
