What I don’t get is why do they think they’re right and everyone else is wrong (Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants, etc) . Saying that 99.99% of the church has gotten it wrong the past 2000 years is a bit much.

Hey Sister, Yah bless. Just a thought… I am Hebrew. I also began in the Christian church. One thing that we know and deeply understand as Hebrews is that Yeshua came to show us how to not only talk the talk, but walk the the walk, meaning He showed us how to walk Torah, the commands of the Most High Yah. As is stated in a couple of places in the book of Revelation about the patients of the saints; those who not only have a testimony of Yeshua Hamesheach, but also keep the commands of the Most High Yah, His Torah. So by doing this, simple, easy things, we show the world, through wherever we go, wherever we work, that we are His Hebrews, Israel, such as wearing tassels, such as keeping His Mo’idiem, His holy days, His feasts and not worshipping Him as those who worship other gods. Keeping His dietary laws, and when asked, sharing why. This is walking as being set apart, a shining light, a beacon on a hill. Being humble and expressing our gentleness for all to see, and showing meekness. Meekness is NOT letting someone walk all over you or beat you down, but rather having a strong means to defend yourself and your family and NOT stomping the crap out of someone who may desperately need it, even though you have the means; showing restraint. Does not the Most High Yah tell us in Isiah 12:2 that “See, Yah is my Salvation, I trust in Him and am not afraid. For Yah, Yahuah, is my strength and my song, He is to me Salvation”. Yeshua is our intermediator; none come to the Father except through Him. He is why the Father gave us His only begotten son, that we have grace, through faith. As Hebrews 11:1 states, “ Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. So by us walking as Yeshuah did, walking in truth and in spirit, walking in the Torah, does this not exude light? I live and walk this everyday, and it is awesome to see how just lowly ‘ol’ me, shines as His light to many who just witness me walking in His commands, being obedient; just freakin’ awesome. And I am a living testament here to tell you, as He states, “…with obedience comes blessings, and with disobedience comes curses.”. Walk the walk and talk the talk, you don’t need to be isolated, just living the set-apart life examples itself… be blessed!

The Messiah is everything: salvation! Sabbath rest? Happy days. Festivals happy days. Christmas? Wonderful. Let people talk. Scripture! Messiah! In the end: heaven is the new Jerusalem come down, full of saved Jews and saved Gentiles. People knot themselves up. But sin has to be combatted and western compromised Christianity is hardly the gold standard. Some good words of warning here. The law is fulfilled in LOVE. Rm 13,8. But the OT will school us and is the roots. At this time it seems to me that Israel is at the epicentre of God's plans, something the news are starting to show us. I find many protestants are frightened of "works"! But yes, religion without love is heavily condemned. Learning more of Judaism is like learning Jesus. 2nd temple jewish literature seems useful too and slowly does it. By works of the law shall no man be justified...and yet...we fulfill the law...Jesus' way. Paul's way for his gentile disciples.

To anyone who reads this: If you haven’t reached the point where you realize that Paul sounds like he’s preaching two different doctrines then you can’t POSSIBLY understand the warning Peter gave about Paul’s letters. He says that Paul is difficult to understand and that the unlearned and unstable people twist what he says to their own destruction as they do the rest of scriptures. He then continues to with another warning telling us to beware that we don’t fall from our own steadfastness being led away with the error of the wicked. 2 Peter 3:16-17 Now, if you are thinking that Paul is straightforward and that it’s obvious that the law is no longer in effect from what he says, then that’s proof you haven’t spent enough time untangling Paul and you’re ignoring the other things he wrote like this. “Do we make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary we establish the law” Romans 3:31. Establishing something is to make firm, permanent, complete acceptance. Paul cannot say the law is gone in one breath and then permanent in another. This only means one thing…..We have NOT understood Paul like Peter warned. Think about this: why would Jesus say to not even THINK that he came to abolish the law? Why did He make it a point to say that until heaven and earth pass not even a jot would pass from the law? Heaven and earth are still here. Why will Jesus tell many to depart from Him for practicing lawlessness? Jesus is the law! He is the word made flesh! Why would the psalmists say how much they love God’s perfect law and meditate on it day and night? Don’t be deceived. Every apostle kept the laws. Man just doesn’t like laws and so easily accepts a doctrine that tells them they are gone. “Here are those who KEEP the commandments of God AND the faith of Jesus” Rev 14:12 Faith without works is dead. You need both. And do we really think that it’s okay that Constantine changed the sabbath to Sunday? Our mainstream Christianity justifies anything. Come out of her my people! Sunday is the Catholic Church. I pray everyone gets on the straight and narrow path. Amen

Thanks for sharing your journey. I'm a bit confused though, you rambled on a lot and I am not sure what your warning is? I'm 100% with you on the strong foundation of the Old Testament. I wish my journey started with those wonderful books. I'm not a part of the Hebrew Roots movement, but I am researching and believe that Christians should be observing the true sabbath and the feasts and those who say we are not under the law anymore are dead wrong. Jesus said it best: Matthew 5:17-18: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." One thing to consider... Christmas is fun and so is Halloween, but would you give them up to honor God? "A religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things never has power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation." Proof of this is with the Apostles, they all were martyred in horrible ways; so why is that ok for them but not for the rest of us part-time luke-warm Christians? They gave up everything and we're going to balk at giving up some foods and pagan holidays? Rev 3:16: "But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!"

But, even so, the solution is not to throw the entire Biblically sound movement under the bus, like you appear to be doing.

It hasn’t come yet because they do not believe the promised Messiah has come. So the written Law still stands. Not ceremonial law, not oral tradition. The law that is the instructions to the Most High’s people. The Master telling His people what makes Him happy and what upsets Him. That’s all.

It sounds, to me, like you were in some strange 'Hebrew Roots' cult. There is much wrong with what i'm hearing from you, it's hard to know where to start. First of all, if you are teaching the men, there is either a lack of knowledgable, strong men in your 'little church', or a severe lack of spiritual discernment. I'm not going to go too deep into that, suffice it to say that with the Spirit comes knowledge of how men and women should interact... It think it is dangerous when, in our sincere desire to know YHWH and the truth, we start some kind of new denomination. I don't even like the term 'Hebrew Roots', because I disagree with much of their doctrine. It is good to come out of Babylon, to identify and shake off the heresy brought into the faith by the Roman Catholics... As Jeremiah prophesied, 'We have inherited lies from our fathers' (paraphrased). Be careful you aren't throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Are you under the headship/ authority of a man? I know it can be scary to go against the grain, especially for some women, but having a strong and knowledgeable man to help you through may be what you need. I don't say this to be rude, mind you, I'm truly trying to be helpful. It seems to me that you were on a good track, seeking to know Yeshua and the Father and learning His ways, but maybe you fell into an unhealthy fellowship. Do yourself a favor, do not go back into Babylon (the institutional Church system). May Yahuah bless you and keep you, and may He manifest Yeshua in you!

Lets not throw out the baby with the bath water, the enemy perverts the truth. Some in Hebrew roots have lost their way maybe because the flesh and our traumas. Maybe there is still the constant dying to self and surrender that needs to happen. This is needed in order to stay balanced in this walk and to have discernment. Hebrew roots has become a label and some of the mess has given it a bad name. People will now shy away from learning about the ways Jesus commanded us to do. Let's not generalize. As with Christianity, and all the false denominations, because some believe this, some believe that. That's a mess too. Will we walk away from our Messiah because of that? No. Unfortunately some have. That's exactly what the enemy wants.
@SusanC-gi6nw2 ай бұрын
I think maybe you went too far in this so called movement. You were teaching men? Christianity teaches against that. Many of us women following Torah know we are not supposed to do that. Perhaps you thought by coming into it you'd throw away everything scripture teaches. Balance is important. I say this bc I did start to focus on the OT a bit much AND I forgot about Yeshua. I lost my joy (which at times could really be the euphoria I used to feel in some Christian churches) I had to remember Him and His sacrifice, which allows me to and gives me joy to follow His commands. It was just that my focus shifted, but I do still follow His commands. We have to recalibrate. I also wonder if you were missing the emotionality of Christmas. Because that is one of the things many are attached to. I myself gave it up, even before I learned about Torah and before I even got saved. I believe the Father was working on me. It no longer had any real meaning, of course bc I was unsaved and worldly, I didn't associate it in my heart with Jesus either. But I gave it up, not because a Torah sister told me to, not because I started followung Torah, but I believe it was Holy Spirit, Father, Yeshua guiding me. Not a movement. So I don't believe it is a biblical observance and I know it's hard for many to give up bc the world has indoctrinated us with it in an emotional way. The entire world celebrates it even non believers so that says a lot. Consider that maybe that was a test luring you back. But I agree we don't replace our Messiah Savior Jesus Yeshua with anything, esp. Christmas. The laws are now in our hearts that we want to obey Him. We come to the truth but we must always be careful to be on guard and have discernment and not go too far that it becomes perverted. The enemy is always there to try to do that, and he us always making us doubt. Blessings.

So you "learned" the the so-called "church" IS Israel (no replacement necessary) and came into the Torah movement, but then somehow contradicted this in your belief system? Can you provide some scriptural backing for your new position that believers are NOT grafted into Israel? There is sooo very much wrong with what I'm hearing. You speak as if you believe obedience is a bad thing. Yeshua said, "If you love me, keep my commandments". He also said that he doctrine, his teaching came from the father, not Himself..... John says there is "new new commandment", the command is the same it always was, Love YHWH and our fellow man... All the Law and prophets hang on these.... You say we should rest assured ALL of our sins are forgiven, PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE? I don't think so. We are granted forgiveness for "Sins that are PAST". We have a faithful High Priest in the heavens that will forgive our current sins, IF WE ARE REPENTANT. This is an ongoing process of progressive sanctification. This is "what you might see going on around you". People are beginning to stop resisting the work of the Spirit and are allowing themselves to be reconciled to the Creator's ways! His Torah, if you will. The problem I see here, is that you are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. There are so many problems with today's Churches.... They are in desperate need of a change. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that most Christians don't acknowledge any objective standard for morality any longer. Worshiping in 'spirit and truth' means putting your money where your mouth is. IF YOU LOVE HIM KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. You started embarking on change, and turned around, likely because it is hard. Yeshua said the way is difficult and narrow. You want it to be easy, large and inclusive. You describe 'the Way' like it is a pyramid scheme. However, being that santification is, indeed, progressive, you will naturally have some further along than others. I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you, you left 'the Way'. And you left it, not because IT was wrong, but because YOU were wrong. You said you came into "Hebrew Roots", or Torah observance in 2019, and left in 2021? You said YOU were one of the main teachers in your group? The problem is, you still had/have much to learn. You should not have been teaching. Let me say that again YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TEACHING. I will pray for you that you are granted repentance and allowed reconciliation to the way. There are stark warning in the Scriptures, particularly in Peter and in Hebrews that you should review. Yah bless.

Dear Sister, I love you and wish you blessings in your life. I feel that you love Jesus but is He the God of your life. Your video just called Jesus a liar. He said that not a jot or a tittle would pass from the law until all has been fulfilled and the heavens and the earth pass away. He then says that if you break the least of the commandments and teach others to do likewise you will be called least in the kingdom of God. If you are a preterist and believe all prophecy has been fulfilled I apologize your theology is consistent. If, like me, you believe that there is a lot of prophecy to be fulfilled then you are least in the kingdom because the heavens and earth and all being fulfilled occurs in Revelation 21:1. Even if you were right about Jesus fulfilling all of the law it does not negate the heavens and earth passing away part. Why would God have two standards one for the Jews, and another for the Gentiles. Why would the Apostle Paul deny that he was preaching what you are teaching to both the disciples in Jerusalem and before the Sanhedrin? Why would the apostle Paul tell us to keep Passover in 1Corinthiand 5:7. In Matthew 13:41 Jesus explains the parable of the tares and says that at the end of the age He will send his angels to pull out all who offend and those who practice lawlessness. God is a consistent and loving God he does not have a different standard for how to get save or how to behave once you are saved. As it says in Revelation 14:12 a true Christian keeps the commandments and has a testimony of Jesus. Have you ever thought about why God forbids certain meats? Is it because he is mean and wants to keep you from tasty animals or is because he is loving and knows that certain animals are not made to be consumed but as part of his plan to keep the planet able to sustain life. Did he give the feasts as a chore or as a celebration and a way to teach the gospel and prophecy. I wish you love and blessings in life.

We must die to self on the Altar of Sacrifice until theres no more ego, self, bitternees, unforgiveness, judging w/o torah of 2 or 3 witnesses, gossip, influence, hateful words, etc.. We need to be about unity not division - are we not the Assembly of Yahushua of the MalkiTzedek order and dis not our father of our faith keep the commandments too? Duet 7:9. “Therefore know that YAHUAH your God, He is Alohim, the faithful Alohim keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations (40K years) with those who love Him and keep His commandments; 10“and He repays those who hate Him to their face, to destroy them.

sadly you must have been part of a congregation that was quite damaging for you. The problem is that coming out of mainstream Christian theology is like a pendulum with most swinging back too far and end up mimicking judaism. I did the same thing for a short while and then discovered that the Torah was the 'lesser light to rule the night' and our Messiah is the 'greater light'. This does not however mean that one must 'throw out the baby with the bath water'. The Old Testament is a roadmap outlining the coming out of egypt and entering one's promised land. The Truth lies in between. 'Narrow is the way that leads to life and few there are that find it'. We are meant to be a set-apart people and a light in this dark world, Unfortunatley many believers love religion and the teachings of man more than the Truth. Christian theology is however full of misguided lies and wrongful teaching - mostly pagan.

Everyone is on their own walk with God, so I can’t get angry with this sister for trying to explain her point of view. However, her perspective feels narrowminded and vague to me, and I was hoping for more substance than just a few allegories. As a believer with Jewish roots, I cannot relate to what she’s trying to communicate. What's my perspective? I respect God’s law and believe we are under grace through faith in Jesus. As a Jewish roots believer in Jesus, I have freedom in Christ to observe Shabbat, feast days or festivals, only if I want, out of respect for His law. Not out of some legalistic compulsion. Jesus is our Shabbat, and I choose to rest on Saturday if I can and go to church on Sunday-it's a win-win for me. By the way, I've never turned down a coffee invite on a Saturday. I kept listening to her journey, hoping for some scriptural insights, but I struggled to grasp her analogy of a Jewish roots story involving a skyscraper. She described the first floor as containing a Jewish Roots believer at the early stages of legalism, and the penthouse as full of legalistic, Torah-observant, grace-rejecting Christians. Her analogy felt like a legalist narrative to me, as if once you step onto the first floor, it's inevitable you’ll move up to the penthouse and leave grace behind, ending up as some sort of Christian Judaizer. What? Well, I've been living on that first floor for more than 30 years and am not ever going to relocate. For one, it's too expensive up there and secondly, Jesus already paid the price for me. Maybe for her, she started off on the lower floors and she moved to the top. Than seeing her own leagalism decided to condem the whole Jewish Roots movement. On the other hand, many Christians have little understanding of where their faith originated. I believe the Jewish roots of our faith offers a wonderful sense of fulfillment. I celebrate Passover from a historical perspective of freedom from slavery, God's mighity hand, and also knowing that it's the 3rd cup of wine that gives me redemption in the Lord's supper. It's another win-win. However, I still participate in family Christmas events, even though I know Jesus probably wasn’t born on December 25, and that Christmas likely has pagan roots-just like the Star of David has pagan roots too, as do many other practices. But I don’t judge those who wear the star or those who celebrate Christmas and Easter. To all the rest, your journey may differ from mine or hers. I pray we can all come together in Christ as brothers and sisters, whether you are grafted in or from the original vine. Let's take this opportunity to be reminded to pray for the Jewish people to come to faith in Yeshua as their Messiah. Lets not beat them up for thinking salvation only comes from observing the law rather than faith in Yeshua. When called, the Holy Spirit will lead them to all truth. Then they can find freedom through grace in Jesus.

I’m also sorry the people led you into twisted theology. You didn’t talk about the New Covenant in Ezekiel 11, 36 and Jeremiah 31-33 and other places in the OT. It’s restated in Hebrews 8. You mentioned that the Mew Covenant was a new Law, but that is nowhere in Scripture. How are you a new covenant believer is you aren’t obeying God’s statutes and rules? Loving God is defined in 1 John 5:3 “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments and they are not burdensome.” If you don’t keep His commandments, do you love Him? According to His Word, no. Jesus said He didn’t come to abolish the Law or the prophets but to fulfill. Look up the Greek words for abolish and fulfilll. He said one jot or tittle would in no wise pass from the Law until all is fulfilled. That doesn’t happen until Rev 21. How does this line up with what you believe? Paul said “Do we make void the Law through faith? God forbid. We establish it.”Look up the Greek word for establish. God is precise and He is a God or order. He has a way He wants to be worshipped. Jesus said “God is Spirit. And those that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.” It’s a must. It’s not because we want to. It’s because this is what covenant relationship is. What was the fault with the first covenant? The people. God’s Law is perfect b/c He’s perfect. Jesus kept the Torah perfectly. We are to follow Him. How can we follow Him if we’re Law-breakers? Rev 12:17 and 14:12 tell us who the seed of the woman and the saints/remnant/ people of God are: those who keep the commandments of God and have/hold to faith/testimony of Jesus. God is very precise. So why do you not believe Him? Israel was broken off because of their unbelief. They didn’t think God would do what He said. They thought they would give grace, even if they broke His Law. God was not pleased with most of them and they died on the wilderness, He brought plagues, and He exiled them due to their disobedience. Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit (one of the better promises of the New Covenant) to help us keep His commandments. Jesus didn’t come to make us lawbreakers. This wouldn’t make any sense!!! No where in Scripture does it say this. Acts 5:32 says that the Holy Spirit is given to those who believe in Him AND obey Him. You took offense from a friend about Christmas all the way to a false gospel that was itching your ears. Why wouldn’t you want to give up Christmas and other pagan celebrations for God, for Jesus, who gave up His life for you? I don’t understand that. The Holy Spirit convicted me 3 years ago to get rid of my Christmas stuff. I was going to a Sunday church at the time. Then He convicted me to keep the Sabbath. Then I learned about the Feasts and I was convicted to keep those. I have a life of joy and blessings and I look forward to these celebrations every year and the Sabbath every week. I get to rest because God loves me so much that He set apart a day every week for me to rest and remember Him, fellowship with others when possible and know Him better. That is a blessing! He is a blesser! I don’t understand why people aren’t willing to give things up in obedience because the things God has are so much better that’s the world’s things. Those things done bring any happiness, joy or help me in any way. They are idols. We are not supposed to be idolators. Jesus said in Matt 5:19 “Whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be least in the Kingdom. But whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of heaven.” We don’t just stop going to church because someone offends us. And if she did, there’s a Biblical way to handle it. You threw fellowship away because you were offended and wanted to do your will and it’s not aligned with Scripture. God has so much for you to do. You need to come back to Him and walk in His ways. The Holy Spirit doesn’t go against Sceipture because He wrote it. I’m encouraging you to do into the Word fully and seek God with all of your heart. Humble yourself before God and surrender anything that needs to be surrendered.

"God has so much for you to do." The Pharisees did so much WORK and were condemned. We had a debt we could never pay through WORKS. Jesus paid our debt. Do you now spit upon His payment made for your freedom and slap Him in the face by EARNING salvation?

@@mamajan99 I don’t earn salvation. It only comes from Yeshua through faith by grace. However, I keep His commandments because I love Him. 1 John 5:3 says “For THIS is the love of God, that we keep His commandments and they are not burdensome.” Scripture teaches us that if we don’t obey, we don’t love Him. Also Yeshua said “the scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat. Do everything they tell you to do, but not the works they do.” Why would Yeshua tell the people to everything commanded in the Torah? He told them not to do what the Pharisees did because they were hypocrites. They taught the Torah but didn’t do it. They did the works of the Talmuds, the works of the Law, rather than having it written on their minds and in their hearts. The New Covenant found in Ezekiel 11, 36, Jeremiah 31-33, Micah 4-5 is: God will write His Law on our minds and in our hearts and put His Holy Spirit within us to cause us to obey Hos statutes and rules.

@@cherylburnett2014 The words of Paul are very clear (he taught the same message Jesus did and learned it from Jesus.) The law of Moses brings death. The law of Christ brings life. You're missing the fact that Jesus is a law breaker because he is a law giver. Jesus is not under Moses. That is blasphemy. He broke the law of Moses and gave his own law. Paul makes it clear that staying under Moses is sinful. Galatians 2:18. Jesus taught about the kingdom of his God. Repent and believe him.

@@sbeasley7585 you are twisting the Scriptures to your own destruction. What does the Law of Moses bring death to? For the person who disobeys there is death. He tells us about this in Rom 8:6-8. He says the carnal mind is enmity against God and can’t subject to God’s Law. Those in the flesh cannot please God. But if we’re born again, we have the Spirito of God and the Spirit of shod doesn not teach us to disobey. Paul teaches some things that are hard to understand but God’s Law doesn’t bring death. The Law condemns those who are sinful. If we disobey it brings death. Sold we have the Spirit, we put sim to death. Sim is defined in the OT and NT as transgressing the Law of God. Jesus was not a lawbreaker. He could not have been. He had to be perfect and He told us to follow Him. He said “Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” He kept the Torah perfectly and He taught us to keep it. Mark 7:7-9, Matt 5:17-20, Matt 23:1-7, Luke 10:25-28, Luke 16:17, John 5:45-46. Yeshua taught that the Law condemns. This is aligns with what Paul taught in Corinthians. However , Paul also taught that we don’t make void the Law of God through faith, we establish it. This Greek word “hestemi” means to “fix or make stand”. That’s not someone who breaks the Law. He taught us that the Law is spiritual in Romans 7:14 and that the Law is holy, the commandment is holy, just and good in Rom 7:12. He taught that through the law we become aware that we’re sinners in verse 13. He taught that the curse of the Law has been removed by Yeshua in Gal 3:13. He talked about his carnal nature and that he was dead in his old life of disobedience. You can’t disobey without a Law. I’m Romans 7:22-25 he taught that He delighted in the Law of God but his members were waging war making him captive to the law of sin. He served God’s Law with his mind. Yeshua didn’t just teach repentance and believing in Him. In John 3:37, the Spirit says “He who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” He told us to go and do everything He commanded us-one of those things was to obey the Law. In Hebrews 10, we’re told that if we disobey, we have profaned the blood of the covenant and outraged the Holy Spirit. James 2 teaches us that we’re still convicted by the Law, because we will be judged under it. Why? Because it’s the royal Law of Gods eternal Kingdom. Isaiah 2 and Micah 4 day that the Law will go out of Zion in the Millennial Kingdom. This how Yeshua’s going to rule His Kingdom. James 1 says if you look into the perfect Law, the Law of liberty, and persevere and be a doer who acts, you will be blessed. This is the same thing God told Israel in Deuteronomy. God’s Law isn’t bondage. It brings freedom. 1 John 3:4 says “everyone who makes a practice of sinning (breaking the Law) practices lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness. No one who abides in Yeshua keeps sinning, no one who keeps sinning has either seen Him or known Him. Whoolevwr practices righteousness is righteous. (The Law is to teach us what righteousness is). No one born of God makes a practice of sinning. Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God. 1 John 5:3 defines loving God-“that we keep His commandments and they are not burdensome.” You have made God’s commandments a burden so this means you need to examine your heart. You’ve believed something about God that’s not true. He says “I, the Lord, do not change.”

I learned a great deal from this guy, Bobby Collier. I still refer to the Messiah as Yeshua. Bobby uses the name Jesus. But his teachings really straightened me out about who, YHWH, Yah, Yahuah, etc... who that actually is. I am so glad for you on the journey out of Hebrew Roots/Sacred Name. Although, there are a great deal of observances we are safe to take note. I still weigh the difference of "traditions of men' as opposed to what is actually in scripture. I believe it is a good practice to test those principles. When a tradition pulls us away from glorifying the Father, then perhaps it's not a good idea. Yeshua manifests the name Father. That's all I needed to see, once again. Elohim wrote Genesis 1 YHWH Elohim wrote Genesis 2:4 So now, I am looking into the Divine Council mentioned in Psalm 82. It has singular Elohim judging plural elohim and a very deep topic. Mike Heiser expounds on this extensively. I can say, that I do not fit any of the modern day churches or movements. Once you take on that name, you take on the whole kit and caboodle. I still say, the Letter J was created in the 1500's and that's when Jesus was created. His mother called him Yeshua. In terms of Old Testament, we need to be careful, because the devil masquerades as God, as an angel of light. But you can see his bad fruit. That's the key. Let Yeshua call the devil out on all his deception. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5a8oWeEZd2ejs0
