Why, Torist?

The meaning of being a toraista.

The word “toraista” is a composite of an English suffix and a Hebrew word. The word “Torah” means: instruction, in this we can conclude that a torahist lives by the instruction of God.

We do not practice Judaism, Christianity or Islam, we use a torah given by God through his prophets. There are in our midst descendants of the Israelite people and other ethnicities and together we are one people by the instruction of the Sovereign.

What is Torah?

Torah is a Hebrew word that means: instruction, God passed his instruction through the prophets. Throughout the bible we notice the instruction coming through the prophets, example: Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jesus, Hosea and many other prophets. Our holy book is the torah of the prophets, in it is the instruction (torah) of the sovereign. That's why we are torahists, because we want to live by the instruction of the Eternal.

The illumination of the word toraista.

Before we were enlightened with that name, our leader gave our community several names, but none of them were to the Eternal's liking. But in a night of prayer our leader (Marcos Eliyahu Pinho) asked the Creator for a title that would unify all peoples, it should be a title that does not divide the people, but should bring light to hearts. After he had prayed, he went to sleep and in the morning the word “Thoraista” came to his mind, with great joy he decided to tell the brothers of the community and when he said “we must not defend another title but the one that makes us obedient to the holy instruction (the torah), we are torahists”. As soon as a leader from another community heard the title, he said: True! I'm also a toraist. A Torahist can be a descendant of the Israelite people or not, being a Torahist, no matter their descent, everyone is a servant of the Creator.

Who can be a torist?

Anyone can be a toraista, no matter who they are. The thoraist movement is not a new religion, it is a philosophy of life based on the Holy Scriptures (the torah of the prophets) and anyone can join this movement. To be a Jew you need genetic descent, to be a Torahist you need faithfulness to the word of God. What matters most is to be faithful to God's word and not genetics. If a non-Jew is faithful to God he will have his reward, if a Jew is unfaithful to God he will not have the reward, before the Creator, but both are equal if they are servants, so try to be a toraista (follower of God's instruction ).
