Why does Yahshuah use the words "ye that work iniquity (transgression of Torah)"? Pastors love to quote John 3:16, but how often have you heard that verse referred to in connection with John 3:36? "For Elohim so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not ( this is not the same Greek word, but rather "not to obey") the Sonshall not see life; but the wrath of Elohim abideth on him." (John 3:36) What does it mean "not to obey the Son"? " If ye love Me, keep My commandments." (John 14:15) Who is this "Me" that He refers to in the aforementioned verse? "For I am YHVH, I change not" (Malachi 3:6)" Yahshuah HaMashiach the same yesterday, and today, and forever." (Hebrews 13:8) " I and ( my Father) YHVH are One." (John 10:30)If Yahshuah and YHVH are One, to which commandments is He referring? " Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them ( other gods or graven images),nor serve them: for I YHVH thy God (Elohecha) am a jealous God (El),visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy ("chesed",grace ) unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep Mycommandments." (Exodus 20:5-6) "For this is the love of Elohim, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous ( not too difficult)." (1 John 5:3)" If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of YHVH thy God (Elohecha), to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of Torah, and if thou turn unto YHVH Elohecha with all thineheart, and with all thy soul. For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden (not too difficult) from (for) thee, neitheris it far off (among the Goyim). It is not in heaven, that thou shouldsay, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou should say,Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and inthy heart, that thou may do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love YHVH Elohecha, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments ("mitzvot") and his statutes ("chukim") and his judgments ("mishpatim"), that thou may live and multiply: and YHVH Elohecha shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolongyour days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go topossess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that Ihave set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" (Deuteronomy 30:10- 19) His Words Gnosticism Hebraic understanding Torah Law Marriage covenant Mitzvah/ Mitzvot Commandments Good deeds Chukah/ Chukim Decrees Impressions, mark, seal Mishpat/ Mishpatim Judgments Instructions in a life-giving Spirit "One Torah shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you." (Exodus 12:49) While we recognize that YHVH does not change (Malachi 3:6), He still provides another witness for us in the Renewed Covenant ( NewTestament ) to ensure that we know that what was, still is:"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also Torah: for sin is the transgression of Torah." (1 John 3:4) "And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of YHVH Elohecha, to observe and to do all his commandmentswhich I command thee this day, that YHVH Elohecha will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of YHVH Elohecha. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessedshalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and thefruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou bewhen thou goest out. YHVH shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. YHVH shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which YHVH Elohecha giveth thee. YHVH shall establish thee an holy people unto Himself, as He hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of YHVH Elohecha, and walk in His ways. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of YHVH; and they shall be afraid of thee. And YHVH shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which YHVH sware unto thy fathers to give thee. YHVH shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And YHVH shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of YHVH Elohecha, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: And thou shalt not go aside from any of thewords which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, togo after other gods to serve them. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of YHVH Elohecha, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. Cursed shall be the fruit of thybody, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shaltthou be when thou goest out. YHVH shall send upon thee cursing,vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. YHVH shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. YHVH shall smite thee with a consumption and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass ( of Greece, see Daniel 2:39below) and the earth that is under thee (your foundation) shall be iron. ( Roman, see Daniel 2:40 below)." (Deuteronomy 28:1-23)" This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before theking. Thou, O king ( of Babylon), art a king of kings: for Elohim of heavenhath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall ariseanother kingdom inferior to thee ( of silver), and another third kingdomof brass ( Greece), which shall bear rule over all the earth. And thefourth kingdom shall be strong as iron ( Rome):" (Daniel 2:36-40)YHVH had forewarned us through the Prophets that our perception of "god and heaven" would be Grecian influenced and that our religious foundation would be Roman, as in "church" and a Trinitarian belief system whereby God The Son (number 2) came down to change that which God The Father (number 1) had set in place as "forever". Most of the Replacement Theology arguments from the pulpit today are based upon the anti-Semitic, anti-Torah attitude of a church father named Marcion approximately 1850 years ago. Therein we have the time frame of the inception of the teaching of " the dispensation of grace", teaching the body of Christos that the OldTestament represents a series of rules , but the New Testamentdepicts love , forgiveness and grace.Marcion taught in essence a 2-Diety principle that YHVH came down to give His people the Law (Torah) and Iesous ( renamed "Jesus"1400 years later ) came down to free His people from the Law, in otherwords to "free His people from YHVH, the Law-Giver". The Apostle Paul (Rav Sha'ul) forewarned us of the subtle lies that would come from the likes of Marcion and others: "Bear with me. For I am jealous (" kanah" in Hebrew) over you with godlyjealousy ( the kanah of YHVH): for I have espoused you to one husband,that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Messiah. But I fear, lest byany means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety ( Howdid the serpent beguile Eve? Our translations say that Eve saw the serpent! In the Hebrew it implies that Eve saw the words of the serpent and they were not total lies , only half-truths!), so your minds shouldbe corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah. For if he that cometh preacheth another ( in the Greek, Iesous), whom we have notpreached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, oranother gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him ." (2 Corinthians 11:1-4)After Marcion laid the "foundation", 180 years later along came Constantine who did not bring "Christianity" to the pagans, rather he brought paganism into the Messianic faith that had already been "leavened" by the likes of Marcion and the other "church fathers". Constantine gave believers this infamous " Christian Creed":"I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads and sacrifices of Lambs of the Hebrews, and all the other feasts of the Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspirations, purifications, sanctifications, and propitiations, and fasts and new moons, and Sabbaths, and superstitions, and hymns and chants, and observances and synagogues, and the food and drink of the Hebrews; in one word I renounce absolutely everything Jewish, every Law, rite and custom……and if afterwards I shall wish to deny and return to Jewish superstition, or shall be found eating with Jews, or feasting with them, or secretly conversing and condemning the Christian religion instead of openly confuting them and condemning their vain faith, then let the trembling of Cain and the leprosy of Gehazi cleave to me, as well as the legal punishments to which I acknowledge myself liable. And may I be an anathema in the world to come, and may my soul be set down with Satan and the devils". (Stefano Assemani, Acta Sanctorium Martyrum Orientalium at Occidentalium, Vol. 1, Rome 1748, page 105) Furthermore, any follower of the " Jewish Messiah" (YahshuahHaMashiach) who wished to join this " holy community" was compelled toadopt a different set of rules and customs. Subsequently special creeds were drafted, to which the " Christian" would have to swear such as:"I accept all customs, rites, legalism, and feasts of the Romans, sacrifices, prayers, purifications with water, sanctifications by the Pontificus Maxmus, propitiations, and feasts, and the New Sabbath "Sol dei" ( day of the sun), all new chants and observances, and all the foodsand drinks of the Romans. In other words, I absolutely accept everything Roman, every new law, rite and custom, of Rome, and the New Roman Religion". Hence after reviewing this evidence, YHVH is asking you: "What part of forever do you still not understand?" "And will you continue to follow the teachings and traditions of men?"
The Foundation of The Church Fathers A Western/ Greco-Roman Foundation Gnosticism/ Think/ WisdomIs based upon the Tree of knowledge of good and evil declaring that the Torah has been fulfilled ( annulled)and that only love, forgiveness & grace matter! Men continue to walk Their Way believing that it willbring them "life", standing firm on the following "facts": · Jesus changed things,· Jesus is the Son of God,· They are solely under a "New Testament",which is "the Only Everlasting Covenant"!Represents a Kingdom of darkness!Could be hearing another "voice"?Could depict the " tares" (worthless part)?Have they been and are still " servants unto sin"?Are they living in the realm of "sin & death"?Have they been and are still " adulterous"?Are they living subject to the Curses of Deuteronomy 28? And if they continue this very same walk, could they be subject to Eternal Separation & tm (Death)?Or: "Will you hearken to the voice of the Spirit of Elohim?" The Foundation of The Apostles & The Prophets Is Hebraic/ Scriptural/ Biblical. Is based upon action/ Hearing & Doing! Is based upon the Tree of Life. Is based upon Torah. Is based upon Grace & Truth (Torah). Is His Way! It is based upon the following facts: · That which YHVH asserts is Life & Good· That YHVH does not change· That Yahshuah is YHVH· That the "New Testament" is actually the RenewedCovenant, which is 1 of 5 Everlasting Covenants It is the Kingdom of light. Those who follow are His sheep who hear His voice. They "shema" (hear & strive to be obedient). They are the "wheat". They are "servants unto righteousness", faithful to the words of the covenant upon whom the Blessings fall! They know that they are walking in the "realm of Life". And therefore they trust in His promise of Eternal Life and remain steadfast in His (Truth)! What conclusion can we draw? Marcion introduced a polytheistic concept of a 2-Diety principle or Duality of the Godhead. The Roman Church introduced the polytheistic concept of a Trinity, 3 separate and distinct persons of the Godhead. The Protestant movement retained this same Trinitarian doctrine but modified it by asserting that the "3 were 1". But somehow, the 3 that are 1 appear to have different plans or have changed or modified the plans of the other member of the Godhead. Yahshuah did not and does not exist as part of a Marcionite "Duality" nor a Roman or Protestant "Trinity"! Yahshuah did not pre-exist as the Son of God holding the Father's hand in eternity past, but came out from YHVH! " If Elohim were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth (came out from) Elohim;" (John 8:42)Is this verse supported in the Tanak [Torah, Nevi'im (Prophets) and K'tuvim (Writings)]? "YHVH is my strength and song, and He is become (has caused to comeinto existence as ) my salvation ("y@shuah"): He is my Elohai, and I willprepare ( myself for) Him an habitation; my father's Elohim, and I willexalt Him." (Exodus 15:2) "YHVH is my strength and song, and is become (has caused to comeinto existence as ) my salvation ("y@shuah")." (Psalm 118:14)"Behold, God ( El) is my salvation (y@shuah); I will trust, and not beafraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH ( YAH, YHVH) is my strength and mysong; He also is become ( has caused to come into existence as) mysalvation ( y@shuah). Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of thewells of salvation ( y@shuah). And in that day shall ye say, PraiseYHVH, call upon His Name, declare His doings among the people, make mention that His Name is exalted. Sing unto YHVH; for He hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thouinhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst ofthee." (Isaiah 12:2-6) Even the Apostle Paul testifies to this truth: "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of Elohim calleth Yahshuah accursed: and that noman can say that Jesus is the Lord (Yahshuah IS YHVH), but by theHoly Ghost ( Set-apart Spirit)." (1Corinthians 12:1-3)2000 years ago, Yahshuah came as the embodiment of Torah and when He returns He will return as the King of Glory, YHVH of hosts! Will you know Him? Will He know You? It is not too late! There are still 2 ways. And as the " door of opportunity" to choose is still open:CHOOSE LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May you or your loved ones not be of those who hear the following heart-breaking words from Yahshuah at a time when it will be too late to repent ("teshuvah") and return to His marriage covenant: " And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity (transgression of Torah)." (Matthew 7:23) Hear His Voice. Hearken to His Truth. Choose today whom you will serve! Blessed Be YHVH In the Name of YAHSHUAH The Messiah reprinted from-For the Glory of Yeshuah ministries- |
