Grace is NOT a New Testament concept.

Despite what “church tradition”, grace is not a “New Testament” concept, nor did it first dawn with the Renewed Covenant.
Genesis 6:8
But Noah found grace in the eyes of Yahweh.
Exodus 33:12-18
Then Moses said to Yahweh, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send [...]

Sabbath observance in the New/Renewed Covenant

I was recently asked to show support for Sabbath observance from the New/Renewed Covenant writings… so here goes.
Colossians 2:13-17, “And you, though you were dead through your trespasses (a) and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made you alive together with him. Having forgiven us all of our trespasses (a), He has blotted out [...]

The names of the books of the Torah tells a story…

In the Hebrew language, the original names for the first five books of Scripture (the Torah) tell a story. The names of these books were typically taken from the first word(s) of the book. So for instance…
Genesis = Bereshith / Beginning, or “In the Beginning”.
Exodus = Shemot / Names, or “These are the Names”.
Leviticus = [...]

Is Jesus the AntiChrist? (the “false messiah” ??)

John 5:43, “I (Yahshua) have come in my Father’s Name (Yahweh), and you receive me not; yet if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.”
“Yahshua” is a Hebrew/Aramaic name meaning “Salvation of Yahweh”. Yahshua literally came bearing His Father’s Name; YAH brings SHUA (salvation).
“Jesus” comes from nothing. It is an English translation [...]

Why Christianity is a cult…

I realized the other day why Christianity really is a cult religion.
Technically, one of the definitions of a cult is an appointed unified head that yields supreme control. This individual is the ‘cult leader’, and in this case, both Protestants and Catholics have the same unified cult leader, one whose teachings are taken as supreme [...]

The “gentile church” and Yisrael

Hosea 1:4-7
And Yahweh said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow [...]

“Antichrist” vs. “False Messiah”

Hello everyone,
There is something that I have been pondering lately, comparing and contrasting the Greek NT with the Aramaic Peshitta NT. In many places, the two manuscripts agree word for word… but there are some places with “disagreements” that make a huge doctrinial difference… there is one I want to bring up today.
In the Greek [...]

Observation: “Yisrael” contrasted with “the church”

This was something fascinating that Yahweh revealed to me earlier today.
~ The nation of Yisrael started with Jacob (Ya’akov).
~ The apostolic / Messianic congregation was lead by James (whose real name was Ya’akov).

Coincidence? Is anything that Yahweh orchestrates a coincidence? But wait- there’s more!
The head of Yashua’s first congregation (or “early church”) was Ya’akov, whom [...]

I’ve found the “missing nun”!

There are many psalms which are considered to be acrostics of the Hebrew language, meaning, “a poem or other writing in an alphabetic script, in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out another message. A form of constrained writing, an acrostic can [...]

Hellooo…

And a warm welcome. I am starting this blog to discuss and share my belief with others. I have two posts made here: one in the form of a letter, which I call “The First Epistle of Names“, and the other is a short opinion article I have written regarding the infamous lost books of [...]
