The Kingdom of "God" / of "Heaven" Is Found!
The Kingdom of YHWH[1], of heaven[2]
It is very unfortunate that the most important message delivered to First Century Israel about “the Kingdom of God (YHWH)/of heaven” by the Prophet Yahshua (aka Jesus) is seldom presented correctly or even understood. Not only was this message by the prophet important, it was the primary message that the Prophet Yahshua was sent to deliver to the Israelites, Matt. 4:16-17, 23. We believe that one of the reasons is because many people have become completely dependent upon, and tend to believe, that the words translators elected to use when they translated the original Hebrew or Greek words into English are correct. Often however, important word definitions in Hebrew or Greek are completely lost because of careless or even deceptive English replacement words used to translate the original languages into a language like English. English over the last two thousand years now provides many word choices that the much older more ancient and simpler languages did not have available and did not use.
One of the most deceptive English words still used today in many English Bibles is the word “God.” This English word is often used to substitute for the Hebrew word “Alueim.” Alueim is a plural noun that has the meaning of “Powers or Mighty-ones.” Alueim is also a plural noun (like the English word “deer” that can be singular or plural). The word Alueim is sometimes used with a singular verb in Hebrew. The problem is that this Hebrew Word can also refer to Prophets, Priests, Kings, and others that hold a position of authority. Those with authority can all be described as “Alueim” in Hebrew (including the Almighty, when context determines meaning). Therefore, just because an English Bible uses the word “God” it is not always referring to the Almighty Sovereign Creator Power, the Ever-living named YHWH. Often the Hebrew word is referring to some another “Alueim” but not “the” Alueim.
The second most deceptive word used in Bibles, is the word “LORD.” This is an English derivative word coming from French, denoting a superior position, or one with authority. “Lord” has much the same meaning as the word “Alueim.” The word “LORD” is also a substitute word, but used to replace the Hebrew name of the Almighty, which is YHWH (YaH-WeH). Yahweh means “He-Exists, He-Is, or Ever-Living.” We describe YHWH as the “Life-Force Essence” because our Sovereign (heavenly Father) is the original originator of everything in the Universe that exists, has existed, or will ever exist. This is some statement isn’t it?
The same thing has happened with the name “Jesus.” This name was transliterated from Hebrew/Aramaic-into Greek, then into Latin, and to English, transforming the Hebrew name of “Yahshua.” The Hebrew name of the prophet re-named “Jesus” is YaH-ShuAh (Yah-shua) this Hebrew name means YaH-rescues, or YaH-Saves. Yahshua’s name actually announces his earthly message, that YHWH is the Savior (not Jesus “or Yahshua”). To understand this is very important, but the meaning is completely lost in English Bible translations using the substitute name Jesus to replace the name Yah-shua. Other English words have similar deceptive names that hide the true Hebrew meanings. In this article we will use the proper word YHWH for Almighty and Yahshua for Jesus.
Yahshua’s message of “the Kingdom of YHWH/of heaven”
The meaning and understanding of the message “the Kingdom of YHWH” (according to the synoptic Gospels) must be very important since it is used 76 times in the KJV. The words “Kingdom of heaven” is used some 32 times, both mean the same thing. Yet many Christians or Bible students do not really have a clear understanding as to what the “Kingdom of YHWH/ of heaven” really is or what it mean, even though it was Yahshua’s main message throughout his entire ministry on earth, beginning at Matt. 4:1, and why he was sent, Luke 4:43. Why then is this message so difficult for Christians to understand?
Matt. 5:17.Yahshua said -You must repent, because the “Kingdom of heaven was at hand.”
Matt. 6:33. “But seek ye first the Kingdom of YHWH, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Matt.7:21. “Not everyone that smith unto me, Master, Master, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
Matt. 12:29. “But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of YHWH, then the Kingdom of YHWH is come unto you.”
Matt. 19:24. “And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of YHWH.”
Mar. 1:15. “And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of YHWH is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
The above are just a few of the many examples, but there is a point here that can be seen running through the verses; it is, that the “Kingdom of YHWH/of heaven” often requires an action on the part of the hearer. We are told to repent “because the Kingdom of heaven was at hand.” Matt. 10:7. We are told to seek the kingdom of YHWH, “seek ye first the Kingdom of YHWH.” We are told that the Kingdom of heaven comes to the one, “that doeth the will of my Father” which is in heaven. ”We are not told to wait for the “Kingdom of YHWH” to come to earth, because it was already near, Luke 10:9. It had come upon you” Luke 11:20; and that it does not come with observation, Luke 17:20; also, that it is “within us” (or you),” Luke 17:21. We are also not told that Yahshua was going to be the King of the Kingdom for us on earth in the future, because it had already come!
Recently we heard a man make reference to “the ‘Gospel’ of the Kingdom;” he said, “that it is often used among charismatics.” He then added, “amazingly however, no one seemed to know what the ‘Gospel’ of the Kingdom meant! A few of them made an attempt to explain it, but nothing really stood out that seemed practical or believable, and more importantly, was it really Biblically-based?” Only in the last year, through the help of a friend, this man said he thought that he found out what Jesus and his apostles meant by “the Gospel of the Kingdom” or was it “the Gospel of Christ” that they were talking about (which he thought properly translated meant “the Gospel of the King”). But I said look at the subject that Yahshua was talking about, wasn’t it supposed to be the “Kingdom of YHWH,” not “the Gospel of the King”? Wasn’t Yahshua teaching about the “Kingdom of YHWH/of heaven?” Did Yahshua ever say, “The Gospel of the King” or the “Gospel of Christ”? No, he did not say that anywhere, so this meaning cannot be correct. Yahshua was talking about the “Kingdom of YHWH/of heaven.” Did the Gospel writers make a mistake? I don’t think so, in this case.
The Kingdom of YHWH/of heaven
The use of the word “Kingdom” is commonly understood in English to be a realm or a physical authority of The Almighty Sovereign Power Creator of the universe on earth. Some think it means a future physical coming realm or a rule on earth by Yahshua. This however, is very unfortunate, since it misses the true Greek/Aramaic meaning as used in ancient Biblical culture and Israelite tribal customs. Remember, Yahshua is speaking to descendants of the Israelites, not to people living in our age and in a time over 2,000+ years in the future, after Yahshua was executed. We believe it is through mistranslations, poor understanding, and bad English word selections, replacing the ancient vernacular of the Hebrew-Greek language and idioms, where many translations go off of track from the correct understanding of what were understood by the ancients.
George M. Lamza, in his book “The Kingdom on Earth” has this interesting paragraph.“The Aramaic word malkotha, [translated in Greek as basileia] kingdom, also means counsel; the term “malko” king, means a tribal counselor. Thus God’s kingdom also means God’s counsel. Where injustice and suffering are dominate, people pray for a better rule, and where earthly rulers and kings fail to do justice and remedy the conditions, they pray for God’s rule and His kingdom (His counsel) to prevail.”
Yahweh’s (counsel) is not going to come by observation, nor will His Kingdom be “earthly.” We must be faithful and do our part, our action, or things will never change. If we elect wicked and unrighteous rulers, we can expect to get a wicked and unrighteous rule. Yahshua said:
Matt. 12:5. “The Kingdom of Yahweh is within you……..” If the Kingdom of YHWH is within us, it is up to us as His righteous representatives here on earth, to make the Kingdom of YHWH happen. We are the brothers and sisters of Yahshua, and therefore YHWH’s representatives, (His Kingdom) on earth. Matt. 12:50.
Therefore the (Gospel) message of Yahshua was for the sons of Yahweh to repent, to turn to YHWH’s counsel and make righteousness on earth happen. The kingdom is not some physical place – it is an authority (a Counsel) that the Father makes available to His sons/daughters when they do His will and become obedient. His authority will dwell within them, when they seek it, and then begin to use it.
In the Hebrew Bible, the Kingdom (counsel, or authority) rested upon the anointed Priesthood, upon Kings, or the prophets as YHWH’s representatives; they then directed the people by their authority. Over time, this system became corrupted and was infiltrated by Edomites. In Yahshua’s time it was in the process of changing and being renewed, a “Re-newed Covenant” was coming (but not a “New Covenant”). The re-newed Covenant would require the destruction of the complete cultic Temple worship/sacrificial payment system (the old). This happened in 70 CE as was prophesied by Yahshua in Matt. 24. With the Temple destroyed, the Priesthood was also destroyed and along with the priesthood, the complete cultic system of worship. What was in the past as “external law” administered by Priests and kings would now become “internal law” for the obedient sons of the Father, the brothers and sisters of Yahshua (the true believers). No longer would the priesthood or a king be the counsel or sole authority for the people. The good news (gospel) message of Yahshua was: that the counsel (kingdom, of authority) was now available to all Israelite believers who would seek and ask YHWH for His counsel, expect to receive it, and then do the will of YHWH on earth.
YHWH’s authority is the only real authority there is. He is the only one worth obeying. Submitting ourselves to the “ordinances after the traditions of men” (e.g. like covering our heads by tradition) will only lead to personal bondage and suffering. Real authority is also possible by observing the life of Yahshua, and through the illumination of YHWH’s counsel; His Kingdom within us. No amount of physical effort will accomplish this, but when one of YHWH’s children is empowered by His counsel, they will also express His “Kingdom (counsel) of heaven” on Earth. That is real power and that then is real authority.
To review: The first thing Yahshua taught in his First Century message to Israel, and to us was; “Repent for the Kingdom (counsel) of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). Repentance, personal accountability to the will of YHWH is the first step to fulfilling the Kingdom (counsel) of YHWH within each of us. Without this foundational “first” principle, the Kingdom (counsel) of YHWH does not exist on any other level.
Personal Sovereignty, seeking YHWH’s counsel, and each individual taking responsibility for his personal instruction, sustenance, and protection on all levels, is the Kingdom of YHWH. As we grow into small individual sovereigns, we also begin to mature into “Son-ship.” When we become “kings” over our own mind, and over our own actions, a result shown in our daily lives, then we learn sovereignty. When we exercise self-government according to the will and counsel of YHWH, we enter into, and begin to experience the Kingdom counsel of YHWH, and also the Government “Kingdom” of YHWH. If we reject His will and if we refuse to be governed by the principles of YHWH’s Divine Edict, and avoid keeping the Covenant/contract (the Commandments) we will then also be refused citizenship in the Kingdom of YHWH, and Kingdom of heaven. Until we do, we cannot become children within His heavenly household; we will just simply remain on the outside. The Kingdom “within” us is the foundational principle of all other facets of the Kingdom (counsel) of YHWH.
If the Kingdom of YHWH is not found within us, it will not be found on the outside either!

“No amount of physical effort will accomplish this, but when one of YHWH’s children is empowered by His counsel, they will also express His “Kingdom (counsel) of heaven” on Earth. That is real power and that then is real authority.”
I like what you have written however all to often we believe we can obtain the kingdom through self effort. Yeshua said apart from Him we could do nothing. To reinforce that point He presented us with a gospel based on death, burial and resurrection; that is to say we enter His death in order to know His life. Without some embrace of this aspect of the gospel we labor in vain. Said in another way: what exactly do dead people do?
/christian-news/2017/05/christian-youre-supposed-to-be-dead-3-2546351.html
You are not too far from the “Rule of Yahuah”. (Kingdom also means “rule”).
and this is another case of:, “I Got it right and you a’ll got it wrong with the Bible.”
Your wrong again as usual.
you missed it, friend…entering and dwelling in the Kingdom of God/Heaven is the N.T. metaphor for salvation, a close walk with God, and living the Christian life to the highest possible moral standards, full of good works and the fruits of the spirit…
God means Love that is the definition the Bible gives for Him.
Yes, the word can mean “good” in English, BUT….love? NO.
The first term we must first define is the word “God.” Most familiar with the etymology of this would agree that the word “god” has been adapted into the English language from Anglo-Saxon origin. The old Saxon word gudh, godh, or gud; the German got, or gott; or the Gothic word guth, all have the same meaning as “good” and are written exactly alike in Anglo-Saxon. For this reason, it has been inferred that “god” was named from His “goodness.” In a later usage, the word “god” has become associated with “that which is invoked”’ or “anyone or anything that is worshipped.” (“Invoked” means “to be called upon, or praised.”)
In modern English usage the word “god, or God” has become used to apply to Israel’s Almighty Sovereign Creator Power Life-Force essence, whose true name is YHWH (Yahweh). By association, the word “god” has now also become used as a word to fit any of the gods of other nations. In fact, it can now be used for anything, or any person, thing or entity that’s called upon, prayed to, or worshipped.
In I Corinthians 8:5, we read, “there are many gods and many lords.” The Greek word for “god” is “theos.” “Theos” means a deity: or a lord, anything or anyone that’s esteemed and held above the people. Different cultures and different people have different deities that they call upon and worship. “Theos” is always rendered “God” in English. It’s used in the New Testament for any and all gods. When you read the word “theos” in the Greek New Testament, you should remember that the word comes from a language that was based on the pagan usage as well as Christian use. It can refer to a pagan god, or it can refer to Yahweh – depending upon the context.
In English, the word “god” is equally broad in scope to the Greek “theos.” Therefore, it worked well as an English translation for the Greek “theos.” The words were applied the same in both cultures. Both cultures had various, multiple gods. The old Saxon gods, Thor and Odin, are examples of how it was applied by many European English ancestors.
The Old Testament Hebrew word for “god” is “Alueim.” Again, the English word “god” is an adequate translation if one understands its historical meaning. “Alueim” means “mighty ones, or powers” in Hebrew. It can be singular or plural. “Alueim” is used in the Old Testament to refer to the Almighty, as well as to other gods. In other words, the Creator is called an “Alueim” (Mighty One) as well as His messengers (the angels), and so are heathen gods such as Baal, Chemosh, Dagon and other idols. And what’s even more surprising is that the Hebrew word “Alueim” is also commonly used for judges and kings, as in Psalms 82:
GOD (Alueim) standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods (Alueim).
This body of “gods” refers to the judges in Israel. Some Bibles indicate this in their marginal references. Yahweh however judges the judges (the Alueim).
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked (unjust judges; flesh-and-blood men). They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods (Alueim); and all of you are children of the most High.
Even Moses was an “Alueim” (a god).
Exodus 7:
And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god (Alueim) to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
God made Moses an “Alueim” to Pharaoh.
In John 10, we find another reference to this:
Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law (the Old Testament), I said, Ye are gods?
Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines “god” as:
The supreme being: Jehovah.
A false god or a heathen deity.
A prince, a ruler, a magistrate or a judge.
So, we can see deeper into the definition and historical usage of this word. The historical aspect is especially important because we’re considering its usage in our most ancient document: the Bible.
Now, when we ask the question, “IS JESUS GOD?” what are we really asking?
Is Jesus called upon? Yes, He is. Some call upon Jesus. When they pray, some call upon him.
Is Jesus worshipped? Yes, Jesus is worshipped by Christians.
Is Jesus a mighty one? Oh, yes, he certainly appears to be a mighty one!
By this criteria, Jesus (Yahshua) can certainly be considered a “god” – but, only if you have an adequate understanding of the meaning and Bible usage of the word. Otherwise, such a statement could lead you to the wrong conclusion.
Should Jesus (Yahshua) be worshipped as a god?
Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, Theos (God): but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
From the passage above, Jesus (Yahshua) did not even want to be called “good” because he believed only the Almighty (YHWH) of the Hebrew Bible was to be called “good.”
Therefore, from the evidence that we’ve found, we can say that Jesus (Yahshua) is a god (i.e. one who is worshipped as a mighty one). However, that is quite different than saying that Jesus is Yahweh!

“In other words, the Creator is called an “Alueim” (Mighty One) as well as His messengers…”
Never ‘an’ but always ‘THE’ in Hebrew Scripture.
“…“Alueim” is also commonly used for judges and kings, as in Psalms 82…”
You mean Psalm 82?
He’s not addressing humans in that Psalm. Read carefully.
“This body of “gods” refers to the judges in Israel.”
No it doesn’t. And if you think it does, then provide a confirming witness if you please. All things must be confirmed in the mouth of two or three witnesses…
“Even Moses was an “Alueim” (a god).”
Exodus 7:1 uses the term נתתיך in the simple sense of I HAVE GIVEN – so, See, I have given you (as) a god to Pharaoh… That is not God telling Moses he was an Elohim.
“God made Moses an “Alueim” to Pharaoh.”
You misunderstand the Scripture.
“Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law (the Old Testament), I said, Ye are gods?”
This again is irrelevant to making the Elohim anything other than they are. They most assuredly are NOT human beings and never were:
1 John 3:2
Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.
“By this criteria, Jesus (Yahshua) can certainly be considered a “god” – but, only if you have an adequate understanding of the meaning and Bible usage of the word. Otherwise, such a statement could lead you to the wrong conclusion.”
You mean wrong like this:
In the beginning was The Word and The Word was in the presence of God and The Word WAS GOD.
“Should Jesus (Yahshua) be worshipped as a god?”
No. He should be worshipped as THE God, just as the Apostle John, the Apostle Paul, the Apostle Peter and the Apostle Thomas (“…my Lord and my God!!!…”) did.
“From the passage above, Jesus (Yahshua) did not even want to be called “good” because he believed only the Almighty (YHWH) of the Hebrew Bible was to be called “good.”…”
Christ clearly made a distinction in his PRE-RISEN and PRE-ASCENDED self from the Self that He would re-become once He re-ascended to the Heavens and re-assumed His rightful place.
“…that is quite different than saying that Jesus is Yahweh!…”
But that is precisely what you should be doing, because that is what the authors of Scripture did!!!
“…http://assemblyoftrueisrael.com…”
Try quoting the Word of God, friend, and not websites written by confused men.
Actually, the authors of the Hebrew Scriptures are those that were specifically inspired by the Almighty Sovereign Creator Power, the Life-Force Essence that revealed Himself to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/ renamed Israel; and to those He chose to reveal His message by inspiration through His Created Alueim to ancient Israel. All those that received this inspiration, have claimed that inspiration in their recorded record. See if you can find a claim of inspiration in the Greek NT writings.
There is no such claim of direct inspiration by any author in the entire Greek NT writings. In fact no one even knows the authors of any of the Gospels and all were written 200+ years after the Jesus (Yahshua) of the Greek NT was executed for insurrection among the Yahudim of the First Century.
The entire Greek NT writings written by confused men, and all is hearsay. Almost 75% of the Greek NT was written a confused wan-a-be apostle, a Pharisee named Paul/Saul. I would guess that is why there are some 30,000 Christian Denominations on the Globe today. . . . Yes, they are all confused men, why? They began using a new but false Bible, compiled by The Roman Constantine Church to control men. Then they named it the “New Testament.” and falsely renamed Jesus’ Bible the “Old Testament.” The rest is history. . . . And the result is obvious, a lot of confused men trying to understand Christianity.
Your comment is why BIN needs a facepalm emoji.
“…Almighty Sovereign Creator Power, the Life-Force Essence…”
Um… Johnny? Why don’t you stick to scriptural terms? ‘Life-Force Essence’ makes me fear you’re in danger of slipping into out-and-out Gnosticism.
“…to reveal His message by inspiration through His Created Alueim…”
Did you just call the Word of God a ‘Created Alueim’? And what’s wrong with the garden-variety transliteration of אלהים – Elohim? Do you really have to try so hard to be different? I mean, if you’re going to speak some other language, then why not learn Hebrew and speak and write in Hebrew?
“See if you can find a claim of inspiration in the Greek NT writings.”
Really?
2 Peter 3:16
…as he (Paul) does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.
There we have Peter plainly referring to Paul’s writings as Scripture, and the Greek word Peter used in that verse (γραφὰς) leaves no question about it.
“There is no such claim of direct inspiration by any author in the entire Greek NT writings.”
Observe:
2 Timothy 3:16 states:
All Scripture is *God-breathed* …
You do know that God-breathed means inspired, right. Inspiration? Breath and breathing? That is the literal definition of the term used in that verse (θεόπνευστος – THEO – PNEUSTOS; God-breathed). So if ALL SCRIPTURE is God-breathed, which is to say, inspired, then Peter plainly referred to Paul’s letters as inspired Scripture. And there are no two ways about it, friend.
“In fact no one even knows the authors of any of the Gospels and all were written 200+ years after the Jesus (Yahshua) of the Greek NT was executed for insurrection among the Yahudim of the First Century.”
That is an outright falsehood. You are painfully ignorant of the evidence. You need to be studying the Manuscripts themselves. You need to Google and read about the New Testament Papyri. We have, today in our possession, portions (and in some cases entire copies) of New Testament Books dating back to the EARLY SECOND CENTURY (that would be about SEVENTY years after Christ died). Moreover, the evidence we have was all copied from older originals. These are easily provable facts. You really need to be learning from more than just a single website, and you really need to expand your searching beyond mere Hebrew Roots (ish) teachings. Your focus has left you largely blinded to the truth as I regularly see you posting utter falsehoods – which have nothing to do with personal opinion but are based only on an unfamiliarity with the facts of Scripture and the facts of the history of the New Testament, including the history of its transmission to us and the many forms that transmission has taken.
“The entire Greek NT writings written by confused men, and all is hearsay.”
You have already proven your unfamiliarity with the facts of the New Testament, beyond dispute. Beyond dispute, friend. The New Testament is the inerrant and inspired Word of God – just as surely as the Old Testament is. Provably so.
“Almost 75% of the Greek NT was written a confused wan-a-be apostle, a Pharisee named Paul/Saul.”
I see. And what is it Paul was confused about, exactly?
“…compiled by The Roman Constantine Church to control men.”
This is but another example of the character and the quality of your search. Constantine had NOTHING to do with compiling Scripture. The New Testament canon was already agreed upon by the so-called early church fathers LONG before Constantine, and it was another, later, synod which addressed Scripture canon for the first time. Again, Constantine had nothing to do with it – yet another easily provable fact. You have been betrayed by Dan Brown-esque internet memes. You need to do some real digging. And you need to stop believing the nonsense coughed up on the websites you’ve been frequenting.
I debate the legitimacy of the Apostle Paul, and have done so for a decade now. There is nothing Paul ever wrote or taught which contradicts anything Jesus ever taught. And certainly Jesus never taught anything that contradicted the Old Testament Law of God – neither the Torah, the Prophets, nor the Writings. If you do not have the New Testament, you do not have the Son of God. And if you do not have the Son of God, you do not have The Father. But this is exactly what He warned would happen to folks who let other men do their thinking for them. Stop heeding the lies and errors of men, friend.
The New Testament is not a book. It is the ….NEW Testament given in that book
Did you forget something? – amnesiaphotography.com
It’s all about the love. If you express yourself through any of the other negative emotions, ie., hate, greed, envy, jealousy, revenge, etc. etc., you’ve tanked yourself. If you allow anyone to motivate you or push your buttons through the negative emotions, you’ve tanked yourself. If you can’t express yourself, a thought or comment through a loving desire to help improve the situation, do yourself a favor, wait until you can.
Save’s a lot of wear and tear on the knee’s and helps to keep down those sincere moments you try to pull yourself out of the depths, through the gift of repentance, to a minimum.
And what IS the LOVE OF GOD???
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
but sadly most want those “evil” commandments nailed to the stake with Christ.
Does Jesus Christ state “if you keep My commandments I will love you”? which in the reverse ‘if you do not keep My Commandments I will not love you.’
What is Love but the keeping of the Commandments
The book described in Revelation 10 as promised: http://wp.me/P4XCG4-G. Court case one: http://wp.me/p4XCG4-9B, Court case two: http://wp.me/P4XCG4-by. This is the narrow road to the New Kingdom which will soon be.
Bless you! Thank you!
Too many are sitting on the fence, waiting for YHWH to do something more, when He is waiting for us to stand up for Him. He has already accomplished what He came to earth to do, and yet they want Him to do something more? He rules and reigns over the kingdoms and nations of men now and will break them / judge them with the rod of iron at whatever time He deems best. But, we are not supposed to be tolerating evil, patiently waiting for someone else to stand up for righteousness. If we are in His kingdom, we have to be the priests He expects us to be (1 Pet. 2:9).
His kingdom is here! It is not some future event. More at my blog https://shreddingtheveil.org.
‘the Prophet Yahshua (aka Jesus) is seldom presented correctly or even understood. Not only was this message by the prophet important, it was the primary message that the Prophet Yahshua was sent to deliver to the Israelites,’
Something is missing here: If you were trying to make a point as to the message carrier; ‘Yashua’= the Son of man=Christ, Lord Jesus WHO IS God and HE Created all of the prophets.
It does seems as though you placed HE WHO IS GOD with the created prophets. You’re really making things that are NOT difficult to get, so very “complicated”.
Though He Prophecied, Spoke God’s Mind and because He Created all things, He, Who is the Author of all things Foretold all things to come. His Word=what we have in the bible, is our map to Him.
The translations have been watered down, but…with HIS GUIDANCE AND HIS ONLY, He Will Tell us what’s what. We will be able to manuever through this world and the bible.
People who are found worthy by Christ, Lord Jesus will have the honor of pointing and do a little teaching of His Holy Things. But if they are true to God, it will be for just a wee bit of time and then they will learn the deep things of God through God Himself only if they desire above all else to do so.
Christ, Who Is God the Creator, Put on flesh and bone, was physically Speaking to those in the 1st Century. His Words are meant for us today as well.
If you believe that His Spirit cannot do anything for those who use different “names” referring to the I AM THA I AM, you are so very deceived.
Too Simple?

The Jesus of the NT was a prophet given the Hebrew name Yahshua. The name YaH-shua means Yahweh-saves. According to the NT writings, Yahshua was sent to the Lost Tribes of the house of Israel, Matt. 10:5-6, 15:24. Yahshua was called “the son of Yahweh” by some of his followers, but he called himself “the son of man.” His evangel (gospel message) was to announce “the Kingdom of Yahweh/of Heaven” (Matt. 4:2, 10:7), that the Kingdom had come, was at hand, and now will dwell within believers, Luke 17:21. Yahshua was executed because of his faithfulness. His message was also preached by his apostles, and then delivered to all the Lost Tribes of Israel.
Katherine, you have been confused by the Doctrines of men. There is no place in the entire Greek NT, where Yahshua calls himself YHWH (God).
Man made gods like the Christian trinity God is designed to keep the simple minded enslaved. Mind control using religious double talk is a very powerful tool for the crafty to control the slaves, and to keep the logical mind numb.
The True (God) “YHWH” Yahweh, the Ever-Living Almighty Sovereign Creator Power, the Life Force of everything that exists, defines Himself in the Hebrew Scriptures in this very simple way:
Isa 45:5 I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no Mighty One (God). I will strengthen you, though you have not known me;
Isa 45:6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
What Does YHWH (Yahweh) the True Almighty Require of you?
Mic 6:6 How shall I come before Yahweh, and bow myself before the exalted Mighty One (God)? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Mic 6:7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Mic 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your Mighty One (God)?
Can you tell the difference between a man-made trinity god and the True Almighty Creator revealed in the Hebrew Bible? The trinity god is a pure pagan concept, designed to confuse you, and to turn you away from the true Mighty One named YHWH (Yahweh) that Jesus (Yahsua) served.

should read: People who are found worthy by Christ, Lord Jesus will have the honor of pointing to Christ and then do a little teaching of His Holy Things. But if they are true to God, it will be for just a wee bit of time and then they will turn them over to Christ so that they can learn the deep things of God through God Himself. But they will learn only if they desire to do so above all else.
Dear Yochannan, your words: ‘The Jesus of the NT was a prophet given the Hebrew name Yahshua. The name YaH-shua means Yahweh-saves. According to the NT writings, Yahshua was sent to the Lost Tribes of the house of Israel, Matt. 10:5-6, 15:24.’
And… ‘Katherine, you have been confused by the Doctrines of men. There is no place in the entire Greek NT, where Yahshua calls himself YHWH (God).’
But, you, Yochannan are living in great deception. You do not believe Isaiah 53 in which the human prophet, Isaiah, Divinely Inspired by Christ Who IS God-Creator of all things, foretold of Himself, Christ, the Messiah, God in the flesh, Came to earth. He was born and grew up as all humans have done. He made Himself less than the angels, (Heb 2.9). He was hated, mocked and lived His Life on earth grief stricken because of rebellious unbelief of His Holy things and He Knew/Knows what the consequences of that are. He was tortured and murdered by the unbelievers back then.
If people would get off their high horses, quit wor$hipping money and themselves as is done today and done back then and learn what He Wants us to do. People back then and today are merchandising God and HIS Holiness. $atanic as it gets.
Learning what HE Wants is not too difficult if we turn from the world. But the world is in a $atanic coma, so to speak and we just love the world.
Most people been brainwashed by the prince of the power of the air…$atan [and] the men and women that he, $atan works through. They’ve got everyone so afraid of everything that the ONE PERSON that we should be paying attention to 24/07 is Christ, the I AM THAT I AM is all but forgotten but taken down as an ornament when we need His Help. LUKEWARM.
For now, Lord Jesus Christ is A Man of Sorrows waiting patiently as the Lamb of God. His lost sheep are very precious to Him. That said, make no mistake; His Anger at what is going on in the denominations and sects, and in the world, is being held back, for now. Eventually He Will Come Back as a Lion with the Wrath of God.
A MAN OF SORROWS
ISAIAH 53
1 WHO HATH BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM IS THE ARM OF THE LORD REVEALED?
2 FOR HE SHALL GROW UP BEFORE HIM AS A TENDER PLANT, AND A ROOT OUT OF A DRIED GROUND: HE HATH NO FORM NOR COMELINESS: AND WHEN WE SHALL SEE HIM, THERE IS NO BEAUTY THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM.
3 HE IS DESPISED AND REJECTED OF MEN; A MAN OF SORROWS, AND ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF: AND WE HID AS IT WERE OUR FACES FROM HIM: HE WAS DESPISED, AND WE ESTEEMED HIM NOT.
4 SURELY HE HATH BORN OUR GRIEFS, AND CARRIED OUR SORROWS: YET WE DID ESTEEM HIM STRICKEN, SMITTEN OF GOD, AND AFFLICTED.
5 BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES: THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.
6 ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY: WE HAVE TURNED EVERY ONE TO HIS OWN WAY, AND THE LORD HATH LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL.
7 HE WAS OPPRESSED, AND HE WAS AFFLICTED, YET HE OPENED NOT HIS MOUTH: HE IS BROUGHT AS A LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER, AND AS A SHEEP BEFORE HER SHEARERS IS DUMB, SO HE OPENETH NOT HIS MOUTH.
8 HE WAS TAKEN FROM PRISON, AND FROM JUDGMENT: AND WHO SHALL DECLARE HIS GENERATION? FOR HE WAS CUT OFF OUT OF THE LAND OF THE LIVING, FOR THE TRANSGRESSION OF MY PEOPLE WAS HE STRICKEN.
9 AND HE MADE HIS GRAVE WITH THE WICKED, AND WITH THE RICH IN HIS DEATH, BECAUSE HE HAD DONE NO VIOLENCE, NEITHER WAS ANY DECEIT IN HIS MOUTH.
10 YET IT PLEASED THE LORD (our Father in Heaven) TO BRUISE HIM, (our Lord Jesus Christ) HE HATH PUT HIM TO GRIEF: WHEN THOU SHALT MAKE HIS SOUL AN OFFERING FOR SIN, HE SHALL SEE HIS SEED, HE SHALL PROLONG HIS DAYS, AND THE PLEASURE OF THE LORD SHALL PROSPER IN HIS HAND.
11 HE (our Father in Heaven) SHALL SEE OF THE TRAVEIL OF HIS SOUL, (our Lord Jesus Christ) AND SHALL BE SATISFIED: BY HIS KNOWLEDGE SHALL MY RIGHTEOUS SERVANT JUSTIFY MANY: FOR HE SHALL BEAR THEIR INIQUITIES. ( the Lord saved us from death; He has not given us the green light for us to speak and act like “this world” and get away with it.)
12 THEREFORE WILL I (our Father in Heaven) DIVIDE HIM (our Lord Jesus Christ) A PORTION WITH THE GREAT, AND HE SHALL DIVIDE THE SPOIL WITH THE STRONG: (Rev 15:2 those who endure to the end only by complete obedience; learning, knowing and doing His Word day by day.)
12 (b) BECAUSE HE HATH POURED OUT HIS SOUL UNTO DEATH: AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH THE TRANSGRESSORS, AND HE BARE THE SIN OF MANY, AND MADE INTERCESSION FOR THE TRANSGRESSORS.
Dear Yochannan, There’s no one in my house that has learned from “doctrines of men.” We learned from above, which is why we learned correctly.
Denominations, which completely divide Christ, are nothing to us except for us to tell them they are deceived for the vast majority of it. As far the the ‘trinity”; there is no such thing. Christ, God the Holy Spirt is ONE. Simple.
Anyone can learn the Beautiful, Pure and Simple Truth that is Christ if they REPENT, sincerely so and go to Christ 24/07. Those of us who are here, can and will be here to help, comfort and assist in many ways those who want and need it. Simple.
Christ, Lord Jesus Requires of me to have faith, and not “faint”. If we stumble, we can go to Him, repent to Him and He Will Forgive us and Guide us through it. Cling to Him!
Btw, we were never promised a “cushy” life. We are temporary sojourners and should be content with simple things like food and clothing. (per God) This world denies those simple things to much of the world and they will be held accountable.
Come into the New Covenant and realize an inheritance Promised to you if you meet His Simple requirements.
Isaiah 53 actually begins at Chapter 49, the servant in Chapter 53 is not “Jesus” as Christianity would have you believe, but it is refering collectively to Israel, See Isaiah 49:3. You always need to include the complete content of any passage to see the complete picture, not just pick out a few passages in the attempt to apply them as you see fit.
for example, did Yahshua (Jesus) have any offspring (seed)? see Isaiah 53:10.
Must we walk backward four chapters to ascertain context? I can think of nowhere in the Bible where it is true that we must.
If it is indeed Israel in the collective, as you suggest, being spoken of in Isaiah 53, then who is ‘we’ and who is ‘us’ and who is ‘our’?
Observe:
…he had no form or majesty that we should look at him…
…and no beauty that we should desire him…
…Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows…
And this one you’ll have a dickens of a time with, if we’re being honest:
…But HE was pierced for OUR transgressions; HE was crushed for OUR iniquities…
Hmmmmm…
…upon HIM was the chastisement that brought US peace…
…and with HIS wounds WE are healed…
I have no idea how you do it. Nor anyone who makes the claim that it’s Israel in the collective being spoken of as the main subject of these verses.
Rather, Israel in the collective is the ‘we’ and the ‘us’ and the ‘our’ in the narrative. But if not, then perhaps you’ll tell me who is?
Re Isaiah 53:10 – you are not thinking spiritually so you cannot receive the Word as it is meant to be received.
John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
Is it true that the Pharisees are sons of the Devil? How can it be when seven verses earlier Jesus said this:
I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you.
So? Are the offspring of Abraham also offspring of the Devil? Is Messiah here speaking literally? He is. And He is also speaking spiritually.
The Apostle Paul, whom you deny, had offspring. But Paul was celibate. So how did that happen?
1 Timothy 1:2
To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Do you deny that Isaiah 9:6 has a clear messianic application? Just whom do you imagine Isaiah is speaking of when he writes:
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
So is it fair to say that Messiah the King, Jesus Christ, has offspring?
You had better believe it, friend.
1 TimotheUW (Lover of YAHUW Almighty) 1:
2 to TimotheUW, my true AHlenic child in faith, Chanon (covenant forgiveness), mercy and peace, from Almighty Loving YA of All Creation our Father and our Beloved King YAHUWAH our Master.
Notice the non Jesuit translations from Hebrew or Greek to English never once state lord, gad, jesus or christ.
We’ll see a link to this very ancient manuscript of yours…
…any time you wish to produce it.
Who is incapable of coming along from behind and re-writing the inspired Word?
But I seem to recall there being stiff penalties for doing precisely that, which are enumerated in the original. Anyone who can craft whatever it is you’re reading from, has no fear of God.
That much is evident.
Here is the quality of truth the purveyors of your manuscript are selling you. From the website:
http://theoriginalscriptures.org/
“This is the beginning of Romans in the earliest public NT manuscript ever found, P46 in the Chester Beatty Museum in Dublin Ireland. Names are overlined. Notice the name of YAHUW in Greek (IHY) on line 6, 11 and the last line. This agrees with Isaiah’s true name (YeshaYAHUW=”Salvation is YAHUW”).
The beginning of Romans, eh?
Try Galatians chapter 6, verses 10 – 18. But don’t take my word for it. Confirm everything, which is what you should have been doing from the beginning:
http://earlybible.com/manuscripts/p46-Gal-11.html
So you’re being lied to by these guys, right out of the gate. Let’s see what else:
“Names are overlined.”
Mmm hmmm. Very scholarly. These are known as Nomina Sacra:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomina_sacra
“Notice the name of YAHUW in Greek (IHY) on line 6…”
Wow. Is your chain being pulled, or what. Here, then, is the verse in question, with the Nomina Sacra in question; there are three:
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross (first Nomen Sacrum) of our Lord Jesus (one word – second Nomen) Christ (second word – third Nomen), by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
So the IHY in question here is the Nomen Sacrum for IESOU – that is, Jesus.
Note, the first Nomen Sacrum in line six is for the word CROSS (stauros – rendered στρω sigma, tau, rho, omega) which also takes the form sometimes of a Staurogram:

I notice too your friends boast of some ten thousand dollar bounty on their home page. You should find out the specifics, then we’ll go take them to school and you and I can split the bounty we’ll never be paid.
You really need to do better, friend. Much better.
I really need to do better with my italics feature. Second time today I’ve botched my post!!!
But the content should be more than comprehensible.
Firmament,
I just sent an email to the purveyors of the nonsense you’ve bought into. Here is a copy of it in its entirety — and I promise to get my italics feature right this time!!!
Hi there,
I am occasionally in contact with a person who is being misled by the nonsense you peddle online. Here, then, is a url to an exchange I just had with this person:
/prophecy/2017/07/the-kingdom-of-god-of-heaven-is-found-2492454.html
The person posts under the screen name Firmament Does Exist (assuming, of course, you are not that person to begin with), which post you will find near the bottom of the comment section on the above linked to page.
I post under the name BEEF SUPREME.
Please contact me if there is any defense you would like to offer for your deceptive product. I would be happy to engage you in conversation or debate, and the more public the better.
I too offer a ten thousand dollar bounty as a challenge to certain anti-scripture advocates, and have done for almost a decade now. What’s your bounty all about?
Why don’t you come on down to Before It’s News and let’s have a chat in front of a high-traffic page? You or I could post an article there about the quality of your, ahem, scholarship.
Do you have the moxie? I highly doubt it.

Whaddaya think? Think they’ll email me?
They aren’t you, are they?
You continually attempt to make what is Simple, difficult which it is not. It appears that you wish to flim flam rather that get down to God’s Business and get it straight. But, I think you are a deliberate; in this case a “religious” deliberate who loves telling lies. Your best bet?! Get on your face, repent to Him Who Will Forgive your ridiculous lies…if that is what you would want. Otherwise, I would not wish to be in your shoes. You should not take this lightly.
Katherine, is this simple enough for you?
The Assembly of Yahweh, Cascade (an Assembly of True Israel). We believe:
God: The Almighty of the Hebrew Bible is named YHWH (YaHWeH) not God. The name Yahweh means He-Is or He-Exists. Yahweh is the One Almighty Sovereign Creator Power Life-Force and is the ‘Original-Originator’ the Ever-Living, without a beginning and without an ending, which always was and ever will be. Yahweh is the non-physical Life-Force filling His entire created Universe, sustaining and directing it using His created Alueim (the celestial/terrestrial beings, Powers) maintaining everything according to His eternal will.
The Hebrew Bible, known as the Old Testament (OT) contains the inspired revealed word of the Almighty that was faithfully recorded by His chosen prophets to instruct ancient Biblical Israel. The Almighty’s word contains the unique complete and final authority for all matter of faithfulness and righteousness to enter His Kingdom and for eternal life, originally for Israel by keeping the Covenant/agreement. The renewed Covenant now dwells within believing Israelites, Jer. 31: 33. All those accepting Him can also become True Israelites, Isaiah. 56. We know of no other document(s) today that contain the inspired revealed word of the Almighty.
The Greek Bible, known as the New Testament (NT) is not the inspired word of the Almighty and does claim it. It is a collection of various selected writings, opinions, and letters found during the First, Second, and Third Centuries. These writings have been modified over the years to appear inspired, and a continuation of the OT. But, the NT really began as a replacement/substitute for the OT, known as Marcionism, the notion of two gods, a higher transcendent one and the lower creator and the ruler of the earth. Marcion in his ideology attempted to reconcile his perceived contradictions between the Hebrew OT theology of one Almighty Creator, and the message proclaimed by the NT of the lower god Yahshua. The NT records quoted sayings and teachings from the OT made by the Prophet Yahshua, but also some letters supposed to have been written by his apostles as well. None claim the Almighty’s inspired word, making them unreliable for developing a foundation for belief.
Jesus of the NT: Was a prophet given the Hebrew name Yahshua. The name YaH-shua means Yahweh-saves. According to the NT writings, Yahshua was sent to the Lost Tribes of the house of Israel, Matt. 10:5-6, 15:24. Yahshua was called “the son of Yahweh” by some of his followers, but he called himself “the son of man.” His evangel (gospel message) was “the Kingdom of Yahweh/of Heaven” (Matt. 4:2, 10:7), that the Kingdom had come, was at hand, and now will dwell within believers, Luke 17:21. Yahshua was executed because of his faithfulness. His message was also preached by his apostles, and then delivered to all the Lost Tribes of Israel.
Salvation/redemption that brings eternal life was Yahweh’s gift to the ancient Israelites. It is now also for the stranger (non-Israelite) and for all who desire to become True Israelites, (Isa. 56). Eternal life is free to all upon sincere repentance before Yahweh for sin; by accepting and then keeping His Covenant, (the Commandments) that can now become dwelling within all the believers. Because of gratefulness we worship Yahweh only and no others.
Assembly (Church): The Assembly is a community of True Israelites who desire to assemble regularly in order to devote themselves to Yahweh for worship, for prayer, to praise Him, and to teach about His counsel. Then we will be able to also teach others through the development and use of our Yahweh-given gifts and talents.
Righteous life: A portion of Yahweh’s Life-Force Essence will come to dwell within all believers who become True Israelites by repentance, accepting and keeping hold of Yahweh’s Covenant. The Life-Force within will now guide each into the truth and toward living a righteous life. Becoming a True Covenant Israelite does not mean each is now perfect. We must continue to mature and ask Yahweh for strength and direction; for counsel; to keep His covenant, and to ask for His forgiveness when we fail. As members of Yahweh’s earthly house-hold each must each strive for a relationship with our Heavenly Father that will continue to grow. At the end of this life on earth we can then look forward to be with Him in a complete eternal form and remain forever faithful members of His heavenly house-hold.
We see a glorious eternal life in the far reaches and endless vastness of eternity, to dwell in His majestic Universe; to partake in His plan for us in His Kingdom, and then to join with the innumerable hosts of His endless heavenly house-hold. Because of this we say ‘Aw-mane.’

“The Greek Bible, known as the New Testament (NT) is not the inspired word of the Almighty and does claim it.”
You’ve tabled your argument that that statement is true, but your argument has been found wanting. Are your scales equal? Where does the Old Testament claim to be the inerrant and inspired Word of God from beginning to end? Seems to me you operate within the confines of a very serious double standard.
“The Almighty’s word contains the unique complete and final authority … enter His Kingdom and for eternal life…”
Where is eternal life written about in the Old Testament?
“Jesus of the NT: Was a prophet given the Hebrew name Yahshua. The name YaH-shua means Yahweh-saves.”
How is it you arrive even at this conclusion? How are you making your determination which portions of the New Testament to believe and which to discard? WHAT is your ultimate source of authority?
“A portion of Yahweh’s Life-Force Essence will come to dwell within all believers who become True Israelites by repentance…”
Chapter and verse, please.
Isn’t it true to say that you have you own version of a religion which is merely colored with pseudo-biblical facets and brightwork? That’s an honest question. You clearly have no problem enumerating the things you believe. But you’ve not been very forthcoming about why it is you believe the things you do.
How are you making your determinations? Upon what are you basing your conclusions? How do you know which portions of the Old Testament are to be taken literally and which allegorically? Or was YHWH lying to us when He spoke to Moses of a world-wide flood, of a Six Day Creation, and of Eve being the mother of ALL living?
“The Greek Bible, known as the New Testament (NT) is not the inspired word of the Almighty and does claim it.”
“You’ve tabled your argument that that statement is true, but your argument has been found wanting. Are your scales equal? Where does the Old Testament claim to be the inerrant and inspired Word of God from beginning to end? Seems to me you operate within the confines of a very serious double standard.”
Answer: Kind of a sarcastic question and statement isn’t it? Am I rocking your boat with the Bible? I did NOT say that everything in the Hebrew Bible is the inspired word, what I said was, it “contains the inspired revealed word of the Almighty that was faithfully recorded by His chosen prophets to instruct ancient Biblical Israel.” In no way is all of the Hebrew Bible the inerrant inspired Word from beginning to end, and I didn’t make that claim! However, The Greek Bible only has a few “quotes” from the Hebrew Bible that are actually inspired words, and most of those come from Yahshua. Paul’s own words are mostly conjecture, and private opinions.
“The Almighty’s words contains the unique complete and final authority … enter His Kingdom and for eternal life…”
“Where is eternal life written about in the Old Testament? “
Answer: It is found throughout the entire Old Testament Bible. That is what the entire “Testament” was all about. For the original plan of Redemption, Deliverence, Eternal life find much of the information here: http://assemblyoftrueisrael.com/Documents/StatementofbeliefAddA.pdf/
“Jesus of the NT: Was a prophet given the Hebrew name Yahshua. The name YaH-shua means Yahweh-saves.”
“How is it you arrive even at this conclusion? How are you making your determination which portions of the New Testament to believe and which to discard? WHAT is your ultimate source of authority?”
Answer: I can read Greek, and Hebrew. The source for authority is the claim the prophet makes, by stating so in his writings, and by the tests as found in the Hebrew Bible, that can verify such claims.
“A portion of Yahweh’s Life-Force Essence will come to dwell within all believers who become True Israelites by repentance…”
Chapter and verse, please.
Answer: I am not going to copy half of the Hebrew Bible here for you, find it yourself.
Isn’t it true to say that you have you own version of a religion which is merely colored with pseudo-biblical facets and brightwork? That’s an honest question. You clearly have no problem enumerating the things you believe. But you’ve not been very forthcoming about why it is you believe the things you do.
Answer: You may think that, but you obviously have not read much of our Assembly web-site, if you had really looked and read you would not have asked that question. Christianity is a false replacement belief system, back to human sacrifice, and the worship of a God-men. Just like the pagans of old did. Nothing much is new, it’s sad.
“How are you making your determinations? Upon what are you basing your conclusions? How do you know which portions of the Old Testament are to be taken literally and which allegorically? Or was YHWH lying to us when He spoke to Moses of a world-wide flood, of a Six Day Creation, and of Eve being the mother of ALL living?”
Answer: I can’t believe you made that statement. NO to a world-wide flood at the time of Moses, NO to a six day creation, Eve was the mother of ALL living? Really, that was some woman?? Like I said, you didn’t read anything on our site.
Answer: The documents on our Assembly site are NOT written by me, they do come from my computer, and yes, I do type the letters, but the information and what to say and when, I can’t tell how or why, I can’t even tell you why I am even sitting here and appear to be wasting all this time on you?? Why do I, or why should I, is a good question. I am not an evangelist, and really do not care what you want to believe, or where it leads you. I am not a missionary and do not support them. And do not really ce about your soul, that up to you, and not my responsibility. Does anyone even care about the revealed truth, as found in the Hebrew Bible, or is that now “Old” because Constantine called his Roman Bible New? Has everyone been sucked into the human-god religion of Christianity, or is there still some logic out there?
Further more, I feel like the Preacher . . . . . .
Ecc 12:10 The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written blamelessly, words of truth.
Ecc 12:11 The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
Ecc 12:12 Furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Ecc 12:13 This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear Mighty One, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of Adam-man.
Ecc 12:14 For Mighty One will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.
Beyond this it does not really matter, sooner or later we will find out who is right.
Yochannan
“Kind of a sarcastic question and statement isn’t it?”
Other than my intention. I’m looking for substance here. So too are the others reading.
“Am I rocking your boat with the Bible?”
Did you really just say that out loud? (Okay. That was sarcastic. But also sincere.)
“I did NOT say that everything in the Hebrew Bible is the inspired word … I said … it “contains the inspired revealed word of the Almighty that was faithfully recorded by His chosen prophets.”
So, according to you, the only bits of the Old Testament which are inspired are the quotations with the words of YHWH recorded for us to read?
“Paul’s own words are mostly conjecture, and private opinions.”
No, sir. Paul is very clear the only time he ever offers us his opinion about anything. He makes a point of highlighting that fact, and then he qualifies his opinion. And since you keep suggesting that Paul was speaking out of ignorance or error, I would ask you again for an example to substantiate your charge. Table something specific and afford me the opportunity to show you with verses from the Old Testament that Paul never once speaks outside of complete accord with the Law of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Let this next serve to illustrate the problem I have with you John. In response to your very specific claims I ask you very specific questions, such as:
“Where is eternal life written about in the Old Testament?”
Now, your response should have been to quote verses from the Old Testament. See friend, when someone says SUCH AND SO is in the Old Testament, and then another person asks, WHERE?, the first person will then naturally say something like – Isaiah 28:11. That is, an honest person would do that. But an honest person would never dodge the question by saying:
“It is found throughout the entire Old Testament Bible.”
Okee doke. Let’s change tactics. I challenge you to show me where in the Old Testament eternal life is discussed by anyone at any time. I challenge you to show me by citing specific verses or passages. Are you rocking my boat? No, John. You are hiding from my questions.
“That is what the entire “Testament” was all about.”
Show me. Please do not insult me or the folks reading our exchange by citing your website when I have asked you for Scriptural evidence of your claims. I’ll be honest with you – what we are beginning to see here, the habits and traits you are beginning to display, are very reminiscent of a great number of other self-styled teachers who have come to this website over the years, refusing to submit simple answers to simple questions. Your doctrine is in question. The Scriptures are not. When you are asked to cite examples from Scripture, please don’t cite your own private doctrine instead. Your website is not Scripture, as much of a surprise as that may come to you. So I will ask you again – show me even one single place in the Old Testament where eternal life is spoken of.
You wrote:
“Jesus of the NT: Was a prophet given the Hebrew name Yahshua. The name YaH-shua means Yahweh-saves.”
I asked:
“How is it you arrive even at this conclusion? How are you making your determination which portions of the New Testament to believe and which to discard? WHAT is your ultimate source of authority?”
Your answer:
“I can read Greek, and Hebrew.”
I’ll take your word for it. But aren’t you the fella who called καὶ a particle? That’s not a mistake even a first year New Testament Greek student would make.
“The source for authority is the claim the prophet makes, by stating so in his writings…”
S L O W down, please. Which prophet? Which writings? I thought we were discussing Jesus. Did He write words and pass them along to us? Which prophet do you mean and please be specific about which writings you mean. And then, maybe, oh, I don’t know… cite the writings chapter and verse?
“…and by the tests as found in the Hebrew Bible, that can verify such claims.”
You are not helping because you are offering intentionally vague answers to specific questions. HOW have you arrived at the conclusion “Jesus of the NT: Was a prophet given the Hebrew name Yahshua”? I want to know how it is you have arrived at that Hebrew name and how it is you have come to be so sure of your answer. And John, I’ll be right up front with you about the fact I do not believe you can answer that question. That is why you are avoiding it, just as you avoided my previous question about everlasting life in the Old Testament. Avoiding, because you cannot answer.
Yet another example of your avoidance follows:
You wrote:
“A portion of Yahweh’s Life-Force Essence will come to dwell within all believers who become True Israelites by repentance…”
I responded:
“Chapter and verse, please.”
And your very, very common reply:
“I am not going to copy half of the Hebrew Bible here for you, find it yourself.”
I am coming very close to calling you a liar, John. Avoiding. That is all you are doing because you can do no other. Here is truth: I know the Hebrew Scriptures better than you do. How is that for honest? Ditto the Greek Scriptures. And do you know what? I think you know it. That is why you refuse to answer…
…because you know there ARE no answers in Scripture to the questions I’ve asked you because the things you say are in the Scriptures, are not.
“NO to a world-wide flood at the time of Moses, NO to a six day creation, Eve was the mother of ALL living? Really, that was some woman??”
You deny the Old Testament. You deny the New Testament. You deny the Son of God. You are an alien religionist and the truth is not in you. You have no relationship with the God of the Bible because you deny what He has written. You have concluded that God is a liar.
“Like I said, you didn’t read anything on our site.”
I read a great deal of the nonsense at your website. Your message is false. Your doctrine is a lie. You have no authority but yourself. You call God a liar and you mock the revelation He has given us.
“The documents on our Assembly site are NOT written by me, they do come from my computer, and yes, I do type the letters, but the information and what to say and when, I can’t tell how or why, I can’t even tell you why I am even sitting here and appear to be wasting all this time on you??”
Ah… so you think you’re a prophet or some special messenger. Thank you, John. I didn’t think it would be quite so easy to get that admission out of you.
“Further more, I feel like the Preacher…”
Yes. I’ve noticed.
“Beyond this it does not really matter, sooner or later we will find out who is right.”
The last refuge of a lost argument.
Who is right? God is right, John. You are going to find out that God is right. His Scriptures are His Word. He has spoken – and He has spoken with authority.
Let God be true though every man were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.”
We’ve seen it all before, friend. Many times.
In fact we’ve seen it so many times, Yochannan, that you are unwittingly piling on the evidence that some of us do actually know what is what.
I personally know of a handful of people who have come to appreciate their Bible anew because of the efforts of a small group of nameless apologists who, here in da bins, mostly kick ass and take names.
The difference, that even the anti-theists must admit, is that “we” don’t duck questions and the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation is the ultimate authority bar none.
Mathem,
I have come to believe that what you said is quite true. I am quite new to this forum, and to B4. I have soon discovered, that when one gets some 2,500 views on just one “religious” document, there is going to be a variety of comments, both for and against. I am not going to spend all my time teaching the finer points of exegesis to those masses that want to remain entrenched in their own particular belief. All I’m going to do from now on, is to provide the address to our web-site, and if more information is desired from us, they will just have to use the contact link on the web-site to connect with us. This form is not designed for any extensive dialog, and I am not going to spend any more time to defend the only Bible (the one that Yahshua used). We teach “the Back to basics original Israelite belief” to anyone that is seeking for truth. If there is a desire, for a son to return, (or a daughter) Yahweh will take it from there, He does not need my help.
As the saying goes, “you can lead the sheep to water, but you cannot force them to drink. . . . . . That desire comes from Yahweh.
Matt. 7:21.
And John,
What I have come to realize is, the next time I engage here at this website or elsewhere with one such as yourself — a self-anointed teacher with neither the time nor the ability to answer direct questions…
…I will begin by asking that person:
Do you fancy yourself a prophet or a unique messenger of some special sort, with a connection to private revelation and a line to the truth which the rest of us are not privy to? Does your vast knowledge of the Word of God come to you from some unseen source which even you cannot explain?
Because fella…
…that’s going to save us all truckloads of digital ink.
It’s too bad you are as new to this website as you are. Had you been here for a while, or even if you stick around and observe half as much as you teach, you’ll quickly learn that yours is a very common claim.
There is no shortage of men who fit your character exactly.
While each preaching a different doctrine, you all come saying the same things.
You all complain about your limited time, as if the rest of us have this website only to contend with in our lives.
You all steadfastly refuse to answer even basic questions about the Bible.
And you all think you’re unique in some special way, if not actually some sort of demigod — and in some cases even Christ himself.
You fit the mould perfectly, friend. Too bad you won’t take the time to consider what that means. You could save yourself a great deal of unpleasantness down the line if you did.
Your capitulation, Yochannan, is accepted with regret.
