PREFACE

The Tragic Embrace of Mis and malinformation

The United States foundational documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, reflect influences of biblical ethics and ideals, promoting values like justice, honesty, and the inherent worth of individuals. Many Americans identify as Christians and believe that their culture’s laws and social structures reflect biblical principles of morality.

While Western culture, particularly in America, prides itself on being rooted in biblical morals and values, the widespread dissemination of misinformation and malinformation highlights a significant disconnect. Whether in society at large or within close-knit families the spread or creation of misinformation and malinformation often are influenced by emotional dynamics, misunderstandings, or personal motives. Dominant powers or those in positions of authority have often controlled the flow of information throughout history.

The biblical imperative to seek truth and uphold honesty is being overshadowed by personal biases, the defense of "my truth," and social pressures and agendas. True moral values focus on aligning with objective truth rather than promoting falsehoods for personal or social advantage. True moral values reject the notion that truth can simply be what individuals persuade others to accept.

The spread and acceptance of misinformation and malinformation in America have reached unprecedented levels, particularly in the age of social media and modern communication technologies. Misinformation refers to false, inaccurate, or misleading information that is spread without the intent to deceive. People sharing misinformation often believe it to be true or do so without verifying its accuracy, making it unintentional.

Examples of misinformation:

  • Sharing news, stories, or information based on outdated or incorrect facts.

  • Reposting a hoax or rumor on social media without realizing it is false.

  • Misinterpreting data or statistics and spreading that misinterpretation.

Malinformation refers to information that is based on reality but is deliberately manipulated, misused, or presented in a misleading way to cause harm to individuals, organizations, or society. Unlike misinformation (false information shared without intent to deceive) or disinformation (false information shared with the intent to deceive), malinformation uses truthful content selectively or out of context to create harm or mislead.

For example:

  • Publishing private or sensitive information (doxxing) to cause harm.

  • Sharing accurate facts with the intent to provoke outrage or defame someone.

The key difference between misinformation and disinformation is the intent: misinformation is unintentional, while disinformation is deliberately created or shared to mislead or deceive. This creates a troubling paradox: despite professing a commitment to biblical values like truth and integrity, many individuals—including those who identify as Christians—actively participate in the dissemination of rumors, half-truths, and outright falsehoods. To bridge this gap, there must be a renewed commitment to fact-based healthy dialogue, evidence, and the pursuit of truth over convenience or comfort.

Since ancient times

Since the Roman era, civilization has accepted and embraced an overwhelming amount of misinformation and malinformation, often without question or scrutiny. This practice allowed them to govern more easily and manipulate the knowledge accessible to those beneath them. By controlling information, dominant powers can limit access to knowledge that could foster dissent or lead to uprisings. When people only have access to a narrow range of perspectives—especially those that reinforce existing power structures—they are less likely to challenge it. In today's society, the acceptance of misinformation has reached such a critical point that when individuals bravely step forward to share authentic facts—motivated by love, compassion, and a quest for truth—they are often met with ridicule and alienation from their closest connections, including friends, family, and the broader community. This isolation is not merely a personal rejection but reflects the power dynamics at play in the larger social order.

Faith and Manipulation: The Double-Edged Sword

The harsh reality is that those who control the flow of information wield immense power over populations. It is no secret and is a fact that organized religion has historically been a tool used to shape and control entire societies. Throughout history, religion has been a powerful force shaping race relations, civilizations, mental perceptions, and cultures, profoundly influencing social, political, and economic realities. It permeates nearly every aspect of life, from social identity and law to politics, art, and economic practices. While its role has evolved over time, religion's legacy continues to shape communities and cultures around the world. However, its influence has often been exploited by those seeking control, turning religious systems into tools of domination rather than pathways to liberation.

Given this, it is both naïve and dangerous to believe that even a divinely inspired text—no matter how sacred—could remain immune to corruption by those who seek to maintain power over the masses. History has repeatedly shown that those who desire to conquer, enslave, and dominate have had no qualms about manipulating religious doctrines to justify their agendas. Western civilization, especially during periods of exploration, colonization, and empire-building, is built upon systems of conquest and not only physical but also mental subjugation of others. Ruling elites have consistently used religion as a way to legitimize their oppression and to maintain a power structure that benefits the few at the expense of the many.

In light of this, the need for critical thinking and fact-finding is more urgent than ever. We live in a time where information is abundant but often obscured by those with ulterior motives. Digging for truth and evidence for oneself is not merely a luxury but a necessity in today’s society. Decisions based on emotion, popular opinion, or the comfort of staying aligned with friends and family may seem convenient, but they can be fraught with bias and misinformation.

To make informed, conscious decisions, we must break free from the chains of manipulated narratives and mass-produced ideas. We must question, research, and critically analyze the world around us—even when it isolates us from those we love. Real growth, both personal and societal, comes from a commitment to the truth, no matter how uncomfortable or challenging that truth may be. Dominant powers often seek to keep families divided, both literally and figuratively, because unity and open dialogue within families can pose a threat to their control.

When people engage in healthy discussions that bring together different perspectives, facts, and evidence, it sparks new thoughts, ideas, and even challenges to the established norms. This exchange of ideas, though it may be uncomfortable or even seem offensive—particularly when it spans different generations or diverse backgrounds—can reveal the flaws in the dominant narratives imposed by those in power. True learning begins when you let go of the belief that you already know it all. With all the advancements in technology, it’s astounding how much knowledge humanity has gathered over the years and how quickly it's expanding in our lifetime. Yet, what we don’t know far outweighs what we do.

Fear: A Powerful Motivator and the Role of Knowledge

 
 

Fear is one of the most primal and potent motivators in human behavior. It triggers a survival response, heightening alertness and driving immediate action to avoid perceived threats. Whether it's the fear of failure, rejection, or danger, this emotion can push people to make decisions they might otherwise avoid. However, while fear can be useful in certain situations, it also has a downside—especially when it stems from a lack of knowledge.

When facts and evidence are unclear or unknown, fear can quickly spiral into anxiety and irrational behavior. People tend to fear the unknown because it represents a lack of control and predictability. In these situations, misinformation or assumptions can fill the void, amplifying fear and leading to poor decisions or undue stress. For example, in times of crisis, rumors and unverified information can spread rapidly, intensifying fear and causing widespread panic.

Without clear, accurate facts, individuals are more likely to act on emotion rather than reason. This highlights the importance of seeking reliable information and understanding the reality of a situation before reacting. Ultimately, fear is a natural response, but it is most constructive when paired with knowledge. By basing decisions on evidence, facts, and understanding, people can channel fear into a motivator for positive action, rather than allowing it to take control and damage relationships, families, and friendships.

The Decline of Truth in Western Culture:

Western culture has undergone a significant shift in its approach to knowledge and truth. Once a society that prized the pursuit of understanding, it has increasingly become one focused on persuasion—on what you can convince people to believe, regardless of whether it aligns with reality. In this new landscape, truth, facts, and evidence often take a backseat, deemed inconvenient, hate speech, or even irrelevant when they conflict with personal ideals or societal trends.

The Convenience of Belief Over Truth

In today’s world, many prioritize convenience and comfort over the often uncomfortable pursuit of truth. Facts can be inconvenient; they may challenge deeply held beliefs, disrupt established narratives, or require significant changes in thinking and behavior. As a result, it has become easier to craft convincing arguments that appeal to emotions rather than engage in the rigorous work of seeking and presenting evidence.

This phenomenon is especially visible in areas like politics, media, and even religion. In these domains, the goal is often not to uncover or disseminate the truth but to shape public opinion, maintain control, or push specific agendas. The result is a society where misinformation can thrive, and consensus is built on what is persuasive rather than what is factual.

Our Commitment to Truth

In light of this cultural shift, our website is dedicated to standing against this tide of misinformation, malformation, and emotion-driven persuasion. We focus on providing content grounded in truth and fact, supported by thorough research and credible evidence. Our mission is to equip readers with the tools they need to discern fact from fiction, enabling them to make informed decisions based on reality, not rhetoric or personal opinion.

We believe that the pursuit of knowledge and truth is not just important—it is essential for a healthy, functioning society. By prioritizing facts, we aim to empower individuals to rise above the noise of persuasion and seek what is real, even when it is inconvenient or uncomfortable.

“Truth, fact, and evidence are unchanging, however, ideologies and people do.”

- WOTR

“Sharing truth and evidence isn’t brainwashing—it’s a challenge to one-sided narratives that stand untested by reality.”

- WOTR

"In today’s emotion-driven world, it’s disheartening that speaking the truth often involves significant risk. Yet it is in these moments that true integrity shines brightest."

- WOTR

“The divine and unchanging truth of the Creator is the new hate speech.”

- WOTR

“If you don’t have facts, you can’t VERFIY truth, without truth you can’t have trust.”

“FACT CHECK EVERYTHING, INCLUDING those who support the CLAIMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.”

- WOTR



why are Facts essential?

Facts and fact-checking are essential for verifying the truth. Without facts, it becomes impossible to verify what is true, leaving room for personal opinions and out-of-context interpretations to be passed off as truth. Trust is rooted in the belief that something is truthful and reliable, which requires a foundation of verifiable facts. Facts provide the evidence needed to support or disprove a claim, offering a foundation for critical thinking and informed decision-making. When people rely on opinions, mistranslations, or incomplete information, they risk spreading misinformation or misunderstanding complex issues. This is why it's crucial to seek verifiable facts, from reliable sources, to distinguish between what is objectively true and what is merely subjective belief or interpretation.

In contemporary society, religion and spirituality hold profound sway over individuals, molding their convictions, principles, and behaviors. With the ongoing advancement of accessible, unbiased factual data and technology, individuals are increasingly empowered to make informed decisions based on true data rather than relying solely on the beliefs of others, and emotions as traditional religious doctrines are now being scrutinized more than ever.

It's important to be skeptical, not cynical, and open-minded but not closed-headed. Skepticism encourages us to question claims, seek evidence, and think critically, while cynicism shuts down possibilities and assumes the worst without investigation. An open mind enables us to explore new ideas and perspectives we may not have encountered before, while skepticism ensures we evaluate them critically rather than accepting or rejecting them blindly. This balance helps us remain thoughtful and discerning, fostering a deeper understanding rather than allowing preconceived notions or pessimism to cloud our judgment. After all, who wouldn’t use the wisdom the ToRaH teaches in Proverbs 18:13 and Deuteronomy 1:17. These scriptures encourage careful consideration and a thorough approach to decision-making, avoiding rash conclusions based on partial information or emotional reactions.

a call to seek the ancient paths and walk in them

In Psalm 25:4-5, David earnestly asks the God of Israel to show him His ways and teach him His paths, expressing a deep desire to be led by YaHuWaH’s truth and guidance and not his own (or “his truth”). David seeks the wisdom and direction of the God of Israel, emphasizing his trust in YaHuWaH’s teachings over his own understanding or desires. This passage highlights David's humility and dependence on YaHuWaH, as he does not rely on his own perspective or wisdom. Instead, he wants to walk in alignment with YaHuWaH's truth, ToRaH, and ways, underscoring his commitment to follow the divine path rather than his own. This reflects David’s commitment to learning and following the ways of the God of Israel and established that He is his salvation (not the religion of Christianity, its New Testament, or its claimed messiah).

Psalm 25:4-5

4 Shew me thy ways, O YaHuWaH; teach me thy paths.

5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

The Hebrew prophet YaRaMiYaH (Jeremiah) encourages people to seek the ancient paths and walk in them, and to return to the traditional, time-tested ways of righteousness, wisdom, and faithfulness found in the Hebrew ToRaH. However, the people stubbornly refuse, responding, "We will not walk therein." This passage encourages the nation of Israel to find guidance, and direction in the enduring principles and unchanging values passed down through the Creators ToRaH, rather than relying solely on contemporary trends, and personal preferences or interpretations “My truth or Your truth”.

YaRaMiYaHuW 6:16 “Jeremiah”

16 Thus saith YaHuWaH (the God of Israel), Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said We will not walk therein.

Seeking the ancient paths involves embracing the wisdom of the past, learning from the experiences of those who have gone before, and aligning one's life with timeless and unchanging truths the God of Israel established. By walking in these ancient paths, individuals can discover their purpose, fulfillment, and spiritual rest, as they journey in harmony with the eternal principles that have stood the test of time.

The phrase "We will not walk therein" reflects the people's outright rejection of YaHuWaH's guidance and the righteous path He has laid before them. Although there is a clear call to follow the ancient paths that lead to well-being, they choose to disregard it. This rejection reflects a profound rebellion and stubbornness, showing their reluctance to trust in the wisdom of the past and follow the Creator’s divine instructions. Even today, many turn away from the God of Israel’s ToRaH, favoring the teachings of a New Testament messiah that alters the unchanging instructions set forth by the Creator.

It was a willful decision for Israel to abandon the covenant ToRaH, which brought severe consequences upon them, including judgment, calamity, and ultimately, as history records, being taken captive and sent on ships into slavery, as seen in the transatlantic slave trade. The black race is the only race that historically fulfills the curses of Deuteronomy 28:64-68 then and still today. This defiance illustrates humanity’s tendency to choose self-reliance and disobedience over submission to divine truth, even when that truth promises life and peace.

OUR FOUNDATIONAL STANCE

 
 

Verify, Don’t Just Trust US

We advocate for a critical approach to all information, including what we present. Blindly accepting any claim—especially in areas as deeply personal and impactful as religion—can lead to misguided beliefs and actions. History shows that religion has often been wielded as a tool for political and social control. From the Roman Empire to modern times, it has been used to influence the masses, divide, manipulate narratives, and serve agendas that don’t necessarily align with the well-being of the people.

By fact-checking and questioning what you hear, you take control of your understanding. We encourage our readers to never take anyone’s word as the ultimate truth, including ours. Instead, use resources and information as a starting point for your own journey of discovery.

Religion as a Tool of Influence

Throughout history, religion has played a dual role: it has inspired great moral and social advancements but has also been used to consolidate power and suppress dissent. In many cases, religious doctrines were selectively interpreted or even fabricated to support specific political or cultural agendas. Whether it was the Roman Empire co-opting Christianity to stabilize its rule or more modern examples of religious institutions swaying public opinion, the pattern remains clear: unchecked narratives can lead to manipulation.

This underscores the importance of a well-informed public. By arming yourself with facts and context, you can discern genuine teachings from those designed to serve ulterior motives. Contrary to popular belief, despite the presence of various religions in the ancient world, the relationship between the God of Israel and His chosen people, the Hebrews, was not a religion but a way of life. Religion provides a ritualistic framework for doctrine, worship, and community, while a relationship focuses on a personal, ongoing connection, where actions and behaviors are driven by love, respect, and a genuine desire to grow closer, rather than by obligation or fear of punishment. With that in mind, WOTR claims no religion. The information shared on this platform is rooted in the concepts and principles of the Hebrew TaNaKh, widely regarded as foundational by both Hebrew and Christian scholars. These principles include:

  1. The Hebrew ToRaH is the first five books of what Christians are conditioned to call the Old Testament. However, it’s agreed by Hebrew and Christian scholars to be the unchanging, sacred, and divinely inspired word and instructions from the God of Israel, given specifically to His chosen people, the Hebrew Israelites. It serves as the eternal foundation for the lifestyle, worship, and moral conduct of the Nation of Israel. Christians are told to appreciate the Hebrew ToRaH, however, they are to follow the New Testament. Christians also agree and recognize that their religious foundation and New Testament claims are all based on the concepts and prophecies contained in the Hebrew TaNaKh (the entire Hebrew bible, Genesis to Chronicles). Simply put, without the concepts and prophecies in the Hebrew TaNaKh, there can be no Christianity (Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6:4-6, Exodus 19:5-6, Psalm 119:1-3 and Joshua 1:8).

  2. No Authority to Alter: No one holds the authority to add to or take away from the Creator’s unchanging and sacred words as revealed in the Hebrew Torah—not even the Creator Himself, as doing so would compromise the ToRaH's reliability and trustworthiness. We stand firmly and trust that the word of YaHuWaH is timeless and not subject to modification by personal interpretation (Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:32, Proverbs 30:5-6, Isaiah 40:8, Psalm 119:89). Christianity also embraces this concept, as reflected in numerous popular worship songs such as "Hold to God's Unchanging Hand," "Great Is Thy Faithfulness," "Standing on the Promises," "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," and "Yesterday, Today, and Forever." These songs, among many others, honor and celebrate the eternal trustworthy, and unchanging character of the God of Israel.

  3. Communication with Israel was not in secret: The Creator does not change, hence the same Yesterday, Today, and Forever. The Hebrew TaNaKh affirms that the God of Israel always chooses His prophets and does not communicate in secret or isolation (personal interpretation). He has already given His instructions (ToRaH) to His chosen prophets, ensuring that His unaltered messages are clearly known and understood by His people, Israel (Isaiah 45:19, Amos 3:7, Jeremiah 33:3, Deuteronomy 18:18, Ezekiel 2:7). Anyone asserting they have received a divine message, teaching, or the authority to establish a sect, group, or camp must align with the unchanging Torah of the God of Israel. Otherwise, the credibility of the Creator is compromised.

  4. Verification of Prophecies: Any claim that a New Testament Messiah fulfilled prophecies from the Hebrew TaNaKh must be carefully examined and verified through the original Hebrew TaNaKh. Since Christians acknowledge the Hebrew ToRaH as their foundation, it is not valid to use New Testament concepts to validate the New Testament itself. All interpretations must be in alignment with the authentic teachings found within the ToRaH’s sacred texts (Proverbs 30:6, Isaiah 8:20, Deuteronomy 13:1-3, Psalm 119:160, Malachi 3:6), and anyone who says they love the Creator and genuinely wants truth will have no qualms with the Creators perspective. After all, who would disregard the warning found in Proverbs 30:6 and challenge the authoritative nature of the God of Israel?

Proverbs 30:6

6 Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Respecting Different Views

If you do not align with these foundational requirements, that's completely understandable. We recognize that individual perspectives can vary based on upbringing and culture, and we fully respect that diversity. This is why we always encourage open dialogue, allowing all parties to present their perspectives and understand each other fully, leading to decisions based on facts rather than emotions or one-sided bias. The wisdom in the Hebrew Bible promotes this approach (Proverbs 4:7, 18:13). Ignoring this wisdom is one of the most common causes of broken relationships among friends and family, often due to a lack of communication or ineffective communication.

However, please note that the content we share is grounded in these core Hebrew principles, which means that if your views differ, you may find that the information provided here does not align with your beliefs. We encourage everyone not to take our word for it, but to investigate for themselves. Think critically, seek unbiased truth, and make life decisions based on facts and evidence rather than emotions, personal interpretation, family/friends’ opinions, heart desires, or popular societal trends.

If you choose to believe the New Testament and its messiah, that is entirely your choice. Should you believe that this messiah is also the Creator, or that the Creator, His son, and the Holy Spirit form a triune godhead, we respect your right to hold those beliefs. However, after reviewing the information presented on this website, we hope people will stop perpetuating that the Christian New Testament is the outcome or sequel of the Hebrew TaNaKh, this is untrue (Proverbs 30:6).

WE ARE NOT A MINISTRY

Welcome to the official Warriors of the Ruwach page, where we identify as Israelites (one who serves the God of Israel alone, without a mediator as commanded) living in Western culture. We stand up for and defend the unchanging Hebrew ToRaH with the RuWaCh (courage, and vigor) of YaHuWaH (the Creator and God of Israel, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob). We are not self-professed prophets, teachers, leaders, or mentors, nor are we a clique, sect, camp, recruitment center, or claim to know it all.

Just as a newborn enters the world with no knowledge, making countless mistakes while learning and growing through life’s experiences, so too is the journey of understanding truth—especially in matters of faith. Over time, the baby gains wisdom and maturity, shaped by its environment, trials, and guidance. This natural process mirrors our spiritual journey.

When it comes to religion, opinions, and truth, the path is no different. At first, one may hold limited or even flawed views, influenced by outside voices and personal misconceptions. However, as you dedicate yourself to reading and understanding what the God of Israel truly desires—shutting out opinions that contradict His unchanging ToRaH—you begin to grow in His knowledge and wisdom.

This growth requires humility and discipline, acknowledging that human understanding is limited without divine guidance. As you immerse yourself in His Word, aligning your life with His commandments, you move closer to His truth. It’s a lifelong process of refinement, where mistakes become lessons and each step brings you closer to living according to His will. Through this journey, you learn not only to discern His ways but also to walk confidently in them, unshaken by the shifting opinions of the world.

At WOTR, we stress the importance of making decisions grounded in facts, evidence, and the unchanging principles established by the Creator and God of Israel 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. Although emotions can be impactful, we consistently base our approach and actions on factual information. Without facts, you can’t verify what’s true, and without truth, there can be no trust. Our personal opinions are not what matters; what truly holds weight is the unchanging ToRaH of the Creator and God of Israel, YaHuWaH. We've always emphasized, and will continue to say: don’t just take our word for it. Examine for yourself—compare the unchanging Hebrew TaNaKh with the vast claims of the Christian New Testament.

Prioritizing the Unchanging torah in a Judeo-Christian Society

After 16 years of unbiased study, we have observed that Western culture places considerable emphasis on the opinions of socially influential individuals, the Christian religion, the church, and the teachings of a New Testament figure and his followers. While the Constitution of the United States is secular, it cannot be denied that many of the Founding Fathers grew up in a society steeped in Judeo-Christian ethics. This is understandable as a Western society, particularly America was built on Judeo-Christian morals and values, it is centered around the new teachings of Jesus rather than its true unchanging origins found in the Hebrew ToRaH (widely considered as old and outdated). As a result, there is a noticeable lack of respect for first considering and evaluating all perspectives in light of the opinions of the Creator and God of Israel, YaHuWaH. This is where we hope to make an impact by providing insights that prioritize the sacred, unchanging word of YaHuWaH as the ultimate source of truth and guidance found in the Hebrew TaNaKh.

Deuteronomy 4:2

2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHuWaH) your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 12:32

32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Proverbs 30:5-6

5 Every word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

If you disagree, again that’s fine, you have a right to your opinion. However, we always encourage you to conduct your own unbiased research, remove any confirmation bias, and weigh your opinions against the unchanging, sacred, and divinely inspired word and instructions from the God of Israel as found in His ToRaH. Our goal is to present insights based on the Hebrew TaNaKh as understood through the lens and context of the ToRaH and the Hebrew culture. Any deviation from this framework in our opinion is disingenuous, goes against what the Creator commands, and will likely lead to differing interpretations. We invite others to examine their views with the same careful, open-minded approach we did and use the established opinion of the Creator found in the ToRaH as the measuring stick.

Throughout the years, various people have labeled us a "ministry", which is flattering. However, against popular belief, it's important to clarify that we never intended to be or aspired to create the WOTR website to be given the title “ministry” or to amass a following. Sure YouTube video “likes” and subscriber count help a channel’s algorithm however that is not the reason we started the website. Those who say or think otherwise truly don’t know who we are. JSTOR, Project MUSE, World Religions Database, Barna Group, and similar platforms are information-based websites that are not affiliated with any religious ministry. They present data and research, allowing individuals to analyze the information and make decisions based on their own morals and values. There's a common misconception that any platform sharing scripture or Bible content automatically fits the “ministry” mold. When looking up the word “ministry” in Hebrew the word is H3027 YaD (aka YoD) which occurs 1,627 times in 1,446 verses and means “hand, strength” (Hosea 12:10).

When we look up the English origins of the word "ministry", we see the religious or churchy connotations of that word. We want to set the record straight: we've always been, and always will be, a website that provides people with information, facts, and evidence found within the Hebrew ToRaH. Since we are not an organization or business with a full-time staff, don't be misled by occasional pauses on our YouTube channel as our commitment to YaHuWaH remains steady and unwavering, even when not showing through social media. After all, back in 2017, we didn’t start on YouTube. That is just one venue we utilized well after the website launched. Our core purpose will forever revolve around updating, sharing, and connecting with others on our continued discoveries throughout our 300+ page website. People acquainted with WOTR understand that we're constantly digging and striving for growth.

This journey has taught us that no one is beyond reproach. Some are content with their current walk with the Creator, believing that simply replacing "LORD" with "YaHuWaH" and "Jesus" with "YaHuWShuWA," "YaHaWaShi," "YeShuWA," etc., while maintaining Christian concepts, is sufficient. However, just as with physical fitness, one must continually strive to grow and evolve, never adopting the attitude that they have already arrived. In an age where misinformation spreads rapidly, we believe it’s crucial to provide content that helps people navigate complex issues with clarity and confidence. Our goal is not only to inform but to encourage our readers to take a step back, avoid emotional reactions, and verify what they learn through independent research. We aspire to inspire open-minded thinking, free from the constraints of religious biases or the influence of personal opinions and interpretations regarding WOTR’s identity, actions, purpose, or principles (Ecclesiastes 12:13).

Ecclesiastes 12:13

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear YaHuWaH, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

In this verse, the duty of every person, according to the Hebrew TaNaK is summarized as fearing YaHuWaH and keeping His commandments. This encapsulates the fundamental obligation of individuals to honor and revere the God of Israel, as well as to obey His commandments as outlined in the ToRaH.

Speaking of religious biases or the influence of personal opinions/interpretations, much like the sight of diverse Christian denomination churches lining the streets, the landscape of online Hebrew Israelite camp ministries reflects a similar portrayal. It's a common occurrence where the same paradox emerges. Some Israelite camps renounce traditional Christianity and its New Testament savior, while others exchange the European figure and image for a melanated one. Although these black Hebrew Israelite camps grow out their beards, wear blue ribbon fringes, abstain from pork, burn the menorah, and celebrate Hanukkah like those in the religion of Judaism, there is still an underlying presence of Christian theology and religion. The celebration of Hanukkah is not found in the Hebrew ToRaH and is rooted in the religion Judaism.

The commandment to continually light the menorah was specifically for the Tabernacle or later the Temple, as outlined in Exodus 27:20-21. There is no direct command in the ToRaH for Israel to light a menorah in their homes as part of a regular custom. In Judaism however (or for those who associate with Judaism), the practice of lighting a menorah in their home during Hanukkah, does have historical and cultural significance but is not explicitly commanded by YaHuWaH in the ToRaH.

For far too long, the quest for traditions of men/religion, social acceptance, amassing followers at any cost, money, power, and material riches has been a stumbling block for the melanated race. It's understandable considering their 400+ years of oppression, which was a just punishment and consequence by the God of Israel for their continual disobedience and idol worship (DaBaRiYM 28 “Deuteronomy“). While there's nothing wrong with striving for and working hard for life's successes, it's crucial to ponder the motivations that propel those aspirations. If wealth, acceptance, and success become the primary pursuit, one might unknowingly fall right back into the trappings of Christian thinking.

“You are a worthless sinner and your success in life revolves around monetary possessions obtained only through serving Christ.”

 
 

“You too should serve the God of Israel because he gave me all this (insert or list all monetary things)!” - Christianity 101


Living and Sharing YaHuWaH's ToRaH Without Seeking Followers or Wealth

In the rich wisdom of the Hebrew ToRaH, none of the chosen Hebrew prophets were ever commanded by YaHuWaH ALuWHiYM (god, or mighty one) to embark on a mission to establish/create a ministry, camp, sect, group, or to recruit others to obey the ToRaH. Unless commanded by the God of Israel, we never witness them pursuing wealth, power, material possessions, affirmation of acceptance, or flaunting their financial assets like in Western culture. When Israel adhered to the ToRaH, they flourished, enjoying abundant harvests, and triumphed as a people and in times of war.

On the contrary, recruiting is a recurring theme throughout the Christian New Testament, and as a result, many Hebrew Israelite groups have adopted a similar approach to amassing members or recruiting people at any cost. There's nothing wrong with gathering and fellowshipping with like-minded individuals; we should know, as we have held yearly fellowships since 2017. However, we understand that ultimately, YaHuWaH will be the one to gather His people (Isaiah 11:11-12, Jeremiah 23:3-4, Ezekiel 36:24, 37:21-22 and Zechariah 10:8-10).

Until Elijah returns to usher in the final MaShiYaCh and restores relationships within families and, by extension, the community of Israel, it’s essential to reflect on the sects, camps, ministries, churches, and groups with which you gather, as well as the true intentions behind those gatherings and their leaders (Malachi 4:5-6). If we say we trust YaHuWaH's ToRaH, then all we need to do is look at the examples set before us. For the prophets of YaHuWaH, their duty was simple and profound: to heed the Creator's instructions and to live for and share His ToRaH with unwavering devotion.

The Hebrew prophets in the ToRaH were chosen by the God of Israel to deliver His messages, provide guidance, and convey prophecies to the nation of Israel. They were never specifically instructed to establish ministries or actively recruit followers, unlike the practices commonly seen among modern religious leaders and organizations. Their primary role was to convey YaHuWaH's ToRaH, warn Israel of impending judgment, and encourage adherence to the ToRaH (YaHuWaH’s instructions to His chosen people Israel, NOT Christians).

It's important to note that the concept of a "ministry" in the contemporary sense does not apply to the way the Hebrew prophets operated. They were more concerned with conveying the ToRaH to the Israelites. They were not focused on building organizations or recruiting followers in the same way that modern ministries, sects, or religious groups do.

Like the Hebrew prophets operated, this, too, is the essence of the WOTR website. We are not chosen prophets, however, our focus (Like the Hebrew prophets of old) remains aligned with the Creator's ToRaH, sharing and embracing the timeless wisdom and guidance it offers. We seek not to establish a ministry/clique/sect, camp, or group like the disciples in the Christian New Testament but rather share the ToRaH, just as those revered prophets of old did.

Just as religion unfolds into diverse interpretations based on individual perspectives and agendas, the realm of Hebrew Israelite camps mirrors this tapestry of beliefs. Even within these cliques, factions, and groups, the inner fabric of their faith often weaves contention and doctrinal disagreements. At WOTR, we hope to end the confusion sown by personal convictions or leaders demanding their exclusive path. We are dedicated only to YaHuWaH and sharing His ToRaH and His path, people can trust it or not. If you have concerns about what we're sharing, please address them with YaHuWaH, as we trust His ToRaH is unchanging.



don’t take our word for it

While we provide valid scholarly resources for added context, our foundation remains the ToRaH, and it is from this source alone that we derive our understanding and share what it teaches (not us). Apart from the Hebrew TaNaKh, some contextual examples we include in the membership section of the website are the Strong's Concordance, Encyclopedia Britannica, the dictionary, word etymology, peer-reviews, and scholarly sources. These are just resources and tools to provide a broader perspective. It’s also important to point out that despite people who are esteemed scholars who may share close bonds or have received education from the same institution, disagreements can still arise among them, simply because they are human.

Despite the availability of resources, not all scholars or educators reach a consensus on every piece of information and may not always agree on every topic within their field of study. Consider this: Many individuals follow the teachings of the New Testament, but even the authors of these texts, particularly the Gospels, present differing perspectives on popular and accepted doctrines such as the Trinity and the divinity of the New Testament Messiah. This is why thousands of Christian denominations exist—each shaped by personal interpretations and evolving ideologies that shift with societal changes.

The books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—often referred to as the Gospels—present differing perspectives on many concepts and events in the New Testament. These variations have led scholars to speculate that these texts were written independently, not as a collaborative effort, and possibly by authors who were not eyewitnesses or contemporaries of the events they describe (scholarly resources). These facts have contributed to a deeper study that the Gospels were written over a span of decades and possibly even centuries apart.

Many may not realize that despite its title, "Hebrews," the canonicity of the Book of Hebrews in the New Testament was debated among early church fathers. Scholars like Origen and Eusebius noted that the book’s authorship was uncertain and debated whether it should be attributed to Paul or another figure. Church fathers well-versed in the Hebrew ToRaH and knowledgeable about the unchanging nature of the God of Israel were concerned with how the Book of Hebrews aligned with their understanding of Christ and salvation. The book's emphasis on Christ's priesthood and its argument for Jesus' superiority over the Hebrew sacrificial system influenced both its acceptance and the ongoing debates, which continue to be discussed in modern times.

Facts tell us that there are over 200 different Christian denominations in the U.S. alone, and a staggering 45,000 worldwide. This highlights a significant division, with various beliefs and interpretations within New Testament-believing communities. It demonstrates that these interpretations are based on human opinion, unlike the unchanging nature of the God of Israel and His ToRaH, which remains constant throughout the Hebrew TaNaKh.

Moreover, books like Jasher and Enoch are included in Jewish religious texts; however, mainstream Hebrew scholars do not consider them canonical. While scholarly sources offer valuable insights, they are ultimately based on the interpretation and analysis of the scholars who created them. Regardless, the Book of Jasher, the Book of Enoch, and the Apocrypha were never included in the canonical Hebrew TaNaKh.

THE BOOK OF JASHER

  • Hebrew TaNaKh: The Book of Jasher is mentioned in the Hebrew TaNaKh, but it is not included in the canonical texts. The references suggest it was a well-known work at the time, but it did not make it into the Hebrew canon.

  • New Testament: The Book of Jasher is not mentioned in the New Testament and was never considered for inclusion.



    Reasons for the Book of Jasher Exclusion from the Hebrew Canon:

    The Book of Jasher (also called Sefer HaYashar, meaning "Book of the Upright") is mentioned in the Hebrew bible twice, in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18, but it was never included in the canon of the Hebrew TaNaKh. There are several reasons why this ancient book, despite being referenced in the TaNaKh, was not considered part of the official Jewish canon. Here are some key factors that explain its exclusion:

    1. Uncertain Authenticity and Age

    • The Book of Jasher referred to in the Bible is believed to have been an ancient text that existed during biblical times, but the actual content of the book has been lost. Various texts claiming to be the Book of Jasher have surfaced over time, but none of them have been universally accepted as the original version referenced in Scripture.

    • The most famous version, a Hebrew manuscript published in Venice in 1625, was likely written in the Middle Ages and is considered a form of midrash (Jewish commentary and interpretation), not the original ancient text. Its late authorship and questions regarding its authenticity made it unsuitable for inclusion in the canon.

    2. Lack of Clear Prophetic or Mosaic Authority

    • The books that were accepted into the Hebrew canon are texts recognized by the chosen prophets or Moses, as in the case of the ToRaH (the first five books). They also needed to be divinely inspired and essential for cultural lifestyle, worship, and moral instruction.

    • The Book of Jasher, despite being mentioned in Scripture, does not have a clear prophetic or originate from the God of Israel to Moses. It is often described as a historical or poetic work, and its contents do not have the same authority or prophetic significance as the accepted canonical books in the Hebrew TaNaKh.

    3. Unclear Function and Genre

    • The Book of Jasher is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in the context of recording specific events. In Joshua 10:13, it appears as a reference to the story of the sun standing still during Joshua’s battle. In 2 Samuel 1:18, it is mentioned in connection with David’s lament for Saul and Jonathan. This suggests that the book may have been a historical chronicle or a collection of songs, stories, or records of heroic deeds.

    • Since the TaNaKh already contains historical and poetic books (like 1 and 2 Samuel and the Psalms), a similar text may not have been seen as necessary for inclusion. Its function as a possible record of events or heroes did not align with the primary focus of the TaNaKh, which is prophetic, and legal in nature for Israel.

    4. Questions of Divine Inspiration

    • One of the primary criteria for a book’s inclusion in the Hebrew TaNaKh was its status as divinely inspired by the Creator. Books considered to be of divine origin were believed to convey the God of Israel's direct messages to His chosen people Israel through chosen prophets and or leaders.

    • The Book of Jasher, while historically significant, was likely not regarded as inspired by YaHuWaH in the same way as the prophetic writings or the ToRaH. Its historical or legendary content did not meet the standard of divine revelation necessary for canonization.

    5. Competing Traditions

    • There were other ancient texts and traditions that may have competed with the Book of Jasher for recognition in the Jewish canon. For example, 1 and 2 Chronicles and the Books of Kings already provided detailed historical accounts of the Israelite monarchy and were accepted as canonical.

    • Since Jewish authorities sought to preserve a specific historical narrative, they may have favored texts that were more directly connected to the ToRaH, the Temple, and the covenant with Israel. The Book of Jasher, with its possibly legendary or poetic content, might not have served these purposes as clearly as other books.

    6. Lost or Fragmentary Text

    • The original Book of Jasher mentioned in the Hebrew Bible may have been lost or significantly altered over time. What exists today as the "Book of Jasher" is likely a later work that may not resemble the original text at all.

    • Because the original may have been lost, and later versions do not provide the same theological or historical authority, there was no compelling reason to include it in the canon.

    Conclusion:

    The Book of Jasher was never included in the Hebrew Bible canon because it did not meet the necessary criteria of divine inspiration, and prophetic authority. It was seen more as a historical or poetic text rather than a divinely revealed or prophetic work. Additionally, questions surrounding its authenticity, late composition, and the unclear role it played in Jewish tradition contributed to its exclusion from the canonical scriptures. The TaNaKh focused on books that were essential for the Nation of Israel, prophecy, and worship, and the Book of Jasher did not fit these categories.


    BOOK OF ENOCH

    • Hebrew TaNaKh: The Book of Enoch was not included in the canonical Hebrew scriptures. It was an ancient Hebrew apocalyptic text, but it was not accepted into the Hebrew canon.

    • New Testament: The Book of Enoch was not included in the New Testament canon. However, it was highly regarded by some early Christian communities, and Jude 1:14-15 in the New Testament quotes from it, indicating its influence.



    Reasons for the Book of Enoch's Exclusion from the Hebrew Canon:

    The Book of Enoch is attributed to the biblical figure Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. However, the text was likely written by multiple authors over a period of time, possibly between the 3rd century BCE and 1st century CE. The uncertain authorship and late date of composition made it less authoritative in the eyes of Jewish religious leaders. Here are some key factors that explain its exclusion:



    1. Lack of Clear Prophetic or Mosaic Authority:

    • The books included in the Hebrew canon have clear prophetic or authoritative guidelines from the God of Israel, either being directly tied to a prophet or regarded as part of the established ToRaH law. The Book of Enoch lacks this clear connection, as Enoch is not one of the central prophets of the Hebrew Bible.

    2. Controversial Content:

    • The Book of Enoch provides detailed accounts of the fall of the angels, their transgressions with human women (referred to as the Watchers), and their subsequent punishment. However, since the God of Israel created all things, including spiritual messengers for a specific purpose, no messenger (also known as an angel) possesses free will. Therefore, they cannot rebel against YaHuWaH, fall from heaven, or commit sin. They can only do, obey, or be allowed to do what the God of Israel created them to do (Job 1:6-22). This focus on angelology and other supernatural themes was controversial, especially in rabbinical circles, where there was less emphasis on such speculative theology. The content was regarded as overly mystical, originating from non-ToRaH concepts, and deemed too speculative for inclusion in the canon.

    3. Theological Concerns:

    • Jewish authorities were concerned with maintaining theological consistency. Some parts of the Book of Enoch, particularly its detailed descriptions of angels and the end times, did not fully align with the Hebrew TaNaKh, particularly the focus on personal responsibility and the more limited role of angels in human affairs.

    4. Geographical and Cultural Differences:

    • The Book of Enoch appears to have been more popular among Jews in the Diaspora (the spread of a people from their original homeland), particularly those in Ethiopia and Egypt. The Pharisaic and rabbinic Judaism that eventually shaped the Hebrew canon may not have considered this text as central or authoritative because it reflected ideas from outside their core theological traditions.

    5. The Rise of Rabbinic Judaism:

    • After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, rabbinic Judaism became the dominant form of Judaism, and the rabbis focused on texts that were considered authoritative for guiding Jewish law and practice. The Book of Enoch, with its apocalyptic visions and mystical themes, did not fit into this legal and ethical framework.

    6. Christian Associations:

    • The Book of Enoch was highly regarded by early Christians, especially by early church fathers and its themes influenced the New Testament. Many early church fathers, including Tertullian and Justin Martyr, held religious beliefs that clashed with the Hebrew TaNaKh (the Hebrew Bible) and traditional Jewish thought. Their theological ideas, particularly regarding the nature of Jesus, the interpretation of the Hebrew Scriptures, and the development of Christian doctrines, diverged significantly from the Hebrew Bible and Jewish teachings. Because of its popularity in Christian circles, Jewish authorities may have distanced themselves from the Book of Enoch, as they were wary of texts that were being appropriated by Christians.

The Canonization Process:

The process of canonizing the Hebrew TaNaKh involved complex theological, cultural, and historical factors. Although apocalyptic literature exists in the Hebrew Bible, such as the Book of Daniel, neither the Book of Enoch nor the Book of Jasher met the criteria set by Jewish leaders for inclusion. Jewish authorities prioritized texts with direct prophetic authority from the God of Israel, a clear message, and broad acceptance within the Jewish community and culture.

Canonical Status

  • Hebrew Canon: Neither the Book of Jasher nor the Book of Enoch was included in the Hebrew canon. The Hebrew Bible was established with specific texts long before the Christian New Testament was compiled.

  • Christian Canon: The Christianized versions of the Hebrew TaNaKh (aka Old Testament) mirror the content of the Hebrew TaNaKh but in a different order. Some branches of Christianity (e.g., the Ethiopian Orthodox Church) include the Book of Enoch in their biblical canon, but most Christian traditions do not.

The Book of Jasher and the Book of Enoch were never removed

The Book of Jasher and the Book of Enoch were not removed from the Hebrew TaNaKh; they were never part of these canonical collections in the first place. They were known and referenced texts but did not achieve canonical status in Hebrew tradition. With that said, it is crucial to rely on multiple sources to validate all topics under consideration. Nevertheless, ultimately, our (WOTR) trust will always be in the unchanging ToRaH of the Creator and God of Israel YaHuWaH found in the Hebrew TaNaKh (Numbers 23:19). We profess no religion, nor claim we were called by the Creator in a dream, vision, or by way of a miraculous emotional experience or audible voice. Our goal is to empower people with what the Creator has established as unchanging, allowing them to decide if they wish to follow teachings or ideals that contradict His guidance.

WE DO NOT ENDORSE RELIGION

We do not endorse man-made religions or those who claim to be sent by the Creator unless their actions align with the unchanging principles established in His ToRaH. After all the God of Israel already established everything one needs to know in the ToRaH (Deuteronomy 6). The Hebrew ToRaH warns Israel against adopting the idolatrous worship practices of other nations and falsely attributing YaHuWaH’s approval to personal desires that do not align with His ToRaH. Furthermore, the Creator never commanded that Israel must be in a religion, create religion, or have to be a member of a church to be reconciled with Him. Unlike religion, the ToRaH underscores its imperative that Israel returns exclusively to the Creator and God of Israel YaHuWaH, and serve Him without any exclusions or mediators (Ezekiel 13:2-3, Jeremiah 23:16-18, Isaiah 8:19-20).

New Testament believers often quote Matthew 6:24, yet this is precisely what they are doing by seeking the Creator through a mediator (aka Jesus, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShuWA, YeShuWA, etc.), effectively serving two masters—a practice the God of Israel strictly forbids (Exodus 34:14, Isaiah 42:8, 44:6, etc.).

Deuteronomy 18:21-22

21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which YaHuWaH hath not spoken?

22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord (YHWH), if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which YHWH hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

The idea to start the WOTR website wasn’t because we heard a divine audible voice or had a strong emotional feeling from the Creator. We noticed a significant gap in sharing the truth about the origins of Christianity and understanding the Creator's perspective and requirements. This isn't about a pastor's, parent's, friend's, or society's popular views, but about what the Creator of all things views, expects, and requires. In MaLAKiY 4:4-6 “Malachi”, the concluding book of the Hebrew ToRaH, there is a clear exhortation to remember and uphold the ToRaH.

The text emphasizes that after MaLAKiY, the last of the prophets, there will be no further messengers chosen by YaHuWaH to instruct Israel regarding ToRaH observance (MaLAKiY 4:5-6 “Malachi”). So, after the book of MaLAKiY, we read no record of YaHuWaH selecting additional prophets except for the return of Elijah. We know the God of Israel does not change. In the Hebrew TaNaKh, prophets were chosen directly by the God of Israel.

The New Testament messiah (aka Jesus, YeShuWA, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShuWA, YaShA, etc.) his disciples, and Paul were never called by the God of Israel. The New Testament never states that these individuals were called by the God of Israel in the same direct manner as prophets in the Hebrew TaNaKh. Instead, the New Testament messiah’s authority is presented as intrinsic to His identity as the Son of the God of Israel. Paul refers to himself as "called" and "set apart," but he does not frame this calling in the same way the Hebrew prophets were appointed by the God of Israel, this is crucial to understand.

Malachi 4:4-6 promises the return of Elijah as a pivotal moment in Israel’s prophetic history. Until that time, there is no record of additional prophets selected by the God of Israel. This absence marks a time of reflection and anticipation, as the nation of Israel waits for the God of Israel to solely restore divine communication along with a renewed covenant of peace between them, known as the Great Day of YaHuWaH (Zephaniah 1:14-16, Malachi 4:5, Joel 2:1, 11, 31, Isaiah 13:6, 9).

Elijah's role is crucial in aligning the hearts of the people with YaHuWaH's will—distinct from that of a Christian New Testament Messiah’s will—before the pivotal events that are to unfold. With that said, anyone asserting that they were divinely called or instructed by the Creator or the Lord to initiate a church, ministry, sect, camp, organization, perform a feast day, preach a message, receive instructions, or is qualified by the Creator to give guidance on world events, etc. is acting on their own accord and is solely their opinion. Simply put if it's not Elijah be very cautious!

In the context of Western culture shaped by Christianity, a prevailing belief emerges that individuals are never deemed good enough. This leads people to be attracted to various movements or groups driven by fear, where leaders are perceived as divinely inspired, and there's an apprehension of potential consequences for not joining or complying with this divinely inspired person (or group). Unfortunately, due to the conditioning of Christianity which constantly plays on people’s insecurities, leaders often exploit those who feel compelled to follow, regardless of the legitimacy of the cause, movement, church, ministry, sect, organization, and so forth. With that said, just because a person professes the name of the Creator YaHuWaH (or any other supposed god) doesn't automatically imply that their actions align with YaHuWaH's ToRaH.

Truth in a Diminished Era:

In today’s society, the value placed on evidence and facts seems to be at an all-time low. Despite Western culture's claim to be rooted in biblical morals, we find ourselves in a time where truth is frequently disregarded, ignored, or minimized. Unfortunately, this has escalated to the point where discussing facts and truth—especially when emotions are involved—can divide families and friends. Communication breaks down as no one is willing to engage in dialogue to resolve disagreements. It’s easier to hold on to one's point of view rather than consider that what they believe or hear might not be based on all the facts. Often, various long-time beliefs are built on half-truths, misinformation, or even outright lies. Engaging in discussions on difficult topics requires both courage and humility—qualities that are becoming increasingly rare.

In today's fast-paced Western culture, many individuals are too busy with their own lives or dismissive of issues that don't immediately impact them. This lack of willingness to engage in meaningful conversations only deepens misunderstandings and prevents growth, leaving many stuck in their own echo chambers. To truly understand different perspectives and move closer to the truth, it's essential to be open to dialogue, even when it challenges long-held beliefs. Even influential figures, including leaders, pastors, and parents, are increasingly comfortable shaping their truth to align with whatever they can convince people to believe.

We established WOTR (2017) in response to the omission in Christian teachings, where the accurate historical origins, rooted in the Hebrew ToRaH, are not adequately conveyed. Christians often suggest that while the Hebrew ToRaH is to be appreciated, the New Testament should be followed as the primary guide. While this idea is widely accepted in Western culture, it does not align with the views of YaHuWaH, the Creator and God of Israel, who is unchanging, as is His ToRaH (instructions). The ToRaH remains eternal and foundational, according to the Hebrew Scriptures, emphasizing that YaHuWaH’s word and instructions are enduring and not subject to alteration over time.

Uninfluenced by personal opinions, we aim to serve as a source of unbiased and steadfast facts, providing balance and information rooted in the unchanging Hebrew ToRaH—referred to by Christians as the Old Testament’s first five books. We're not a ministry, and we don't seek to shape or force people’s beliefs. Our goal is to provide information so that people can make balanced decisions regarding all religions and life choices based on the unchanging and established guidance of the Creator (found in Hebrew ToRaH). We do not base these decisions on emotional gratification, the corrupt traditions of men, monetary gain, social popularity, or familial and social pressures. We will continue to emphasize that it's not about us or our opinions. We present the perspectives and teachings of the Creator of all things, the God of Israel, YaHuWaH ALuWHiYM on our website for those who seek it. People can take it or leave it, as we are all given FREE WILL.

“WARRIORS NOT WORRIERS”

When YaHuWaH’s ToRaH has the answer, what’s the problem?

worrier noun.

  • a person who tends to fret or be tormented by anxious or disturbing thoughts,

  • a person who worries too much or who worries about unimportant things.

This phrase emphasizes the importance of adopting a proactive, courageous, and resilient mindset rather than being consumed by anxiety or fear. It suggests that instead of letting worries and uncertainties dominate your thoughts and actions, you should confront challenges with strength and determination, much like a warrior facing a battle.


DaBaRiYM 31:6 “Deuteronomy”

6 Be strong and of a good courage, FEAR NOT, NOR BE AFRAID of them: for the YaHuWaH thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.


Overcoming Fear and Trusting in YaHuWaH's Righteousness: Lessons from Deuteronomy 31:6

Deuteronomy 31:6 reassures Israel to be strong and courageous, urging them not to fear or be terrified because YaHuWaH will never abandon them. People know fear can be a strong motivator to get people to disregard the Hebrew ToRaH. Individuals may act out of fear of consequences or societal pressures rather than out of reverence for YaHuWaH and obedience to His commandments. This fear-driven behavior can lead to disobedience, rebellion, and sharing principles or ideals that are not outlined in the ToRaH (Malachi 2-3).

The Hebrew TaNaKh gives wisdom and advises against fretting, being anxious, or being envious of evildoers (ZaMaR 37 “Psalms”). Instead, it encourages trusting in YaHuWaH with the assurance that, in due time, His righteousness (to those who obey His ToRaH) will see justice and flourish. The overarching theme is one of patience, trust, and the ultimate triumph of YaHuWaH.

When we allow anxieties about the actions of the world powers to govern our choices, we inadvertently elevate these worldly fears above the Creator, YaHuWaH, giving them undue importance. Discussions about the potential for World War III have persisted since 1941, and historical instances like the Camisard prophets predicted the world's end in the early 1700s. Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins claimed doomsday would happen in the year 2000. The Soviet Union's "Missile Gap", the Domino Theory in Southeast Asia (the 1950s-1970s), and the unfounded fears of a Germanic flood or Halley’s Comet, all serve as examples of worldwide panics that led people to extreme actions. Since ancient times, there have been hundreds of total lunar eclipses or “blood moons” (the last one dates December 4, 2021), however every year those who heed the news or social media instead of trusting in the ToRaH of the Creator, run and prepare for the worst.

Predictions of earthquakes causing the end of the world or widespread destruction are not uncommon throughout history. One notable example occurred in 2012, with the supposed prediction of the Mayan calendar that the world would end on December 21, 2012. Despite widespread speculation and media attention, this prediction was not based on any scientific evidence and did not come to pass.

One of the latest claims suggested that all physical cash would cease to exist due to the rise of digital currencies. While there have been ongoing discussions and developments in the realm of digital currencies for several decades, including central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and various cryptocurrencies, the idea that physical cash would completely cease to exist is a complex and unlikely scenario. To date, there is no widespread worldwide consensus or implementation of fully digital currencies at the exclusion of physical cash. Some countries have made notable progress, however, as of January 2022, data analytics reveal that no country has fully transitioned to a digital-only currency system, excluding physical cash entirely.

Whether it's relocating your family, purchasing gas masks, renting portable toilets for homes, emptying your 401k to buy Bitcoin, or even rioting to secure a place on a modern-day ark, these instances highlight the extreme reactions spurred by widespread fears. Many are fueled by fear frantically preparing by building underground bunkers, purchasing several year’s worth of MREs, moving to far distant lands, and buying remote islands. All these actions sadly, according to the Hebrew TaNaKh will be of no avail. In Joel, chapters 2 and 3 of The Hebrew TaNaKh it conveys that the Great day of YaHuWaH is unstoppable and all-encompassing and that nothing can escape the judgment of YaHuWaH. This indicates that regardless of your location, construction efforts, methods employed, or physical readiness, there is ultimately no means of escape. Ultimately, the choice lies in trusting the God of Israel YaHuWaH, or not. It's a matter of whether our actions align with that trust, as actions invariably speak louder than words.


Defenders of ToRaH and YaHuWaH's Truth

In the Hebrew language, the term "RuWaCh" translates to "breath/wind, courage, desire, and vigor," and this is the inspiration behind our name, "Warriors Of The Ruwach". We uphold and defend the ToRaH with the courage, desire, and vigor of YaHuWaH. Our devotion is unequivocally to YaHuWaH, without reliance on a Christian New Testament savior. This aligns with YaHuWaH's command to Israel, as stated in DaBaRiYM 30:10-20 (Deuteronomy). We encourage everyone to seek impartial facts and delve into the Hebrew ToRaH, which contains YaHuWaH's instructions for His chosen people, Israel. It's time for us to examine the Creator’s truth for ourselves and not simply follow the beliefs or passed-down traditions of our ancestors, parents, friends, sect leaders, and social media influencers who follow Ephesians 6:1-3 of the Christian doctrine, in contrast to ShaMuWTh 20:12 (Exodus).

The Hebrew word "TuWRaH" finds its origin in the root word "YaRaH" (H3384), which means "to teach," "to instruct," or "to guide." Hence, the ToRaH is a collection of instructions, teachings, and guidance from the Creator YaHuWaH ALuWHiYM to Isreal (not Christianity). Each individual needs to embark on a personal journey, free from reliance on the beliefs or inherited traditions of our forefathers, who merely followed what they were taught.

It’s time to liberate and re-educate our minds, and not only return solely back to the ALuWHiYM (mighty one/god in English) YaHuWaH alone (YaHuWShuWA 24:15 "Joshua") but stop letting your life actions be dictated by fear of what the world powers threaten to do. While everyone has the right to live their lives as they see fit, Warriors of the Ruwach do not seek to assimilate or conform to popular societal norms, or pressures just to be part of a group/sect/click or to feel accepted. Our acceptance comes from knowing that we are obeying the Hebrew ToRaH of YaHuWaH and NOT the ToRaH (guidance) of leaders whose actions show they oppose YaHuWaH’s instructions.

Various ministries, churches, sects, and religions claim they are sent by a deified being, however, ToRaH teaches that there will be no more chosen messengers until ALiYaHuW (Elijah). Unbiased research teaches us that many Western holidays can be traced back to various cultural and religious traditions, and pagan roots. These pagan roots, traditions, and holidays involve the worship or reverence of various deities or natural forces (ShaMuWTh 20:3 “Exodus”). Although over time these holidays have taken on different meanings in different societies, it doesn’t change the fact that their celebratory origins are still pagan ways of worship that the God of Israel does not approve of.

DaBaRiYM 12:30-32 “Deuteronomy”

30 Take heed to thyself that thou BE NOT snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire NOT after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

31 Thou SHALT NOT do so unto YaHuWaH thy ALuWaH (mighty one/god in English): for every abomination to YaHuWaH, which He HATETH, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt NOT add thereto, NOR diminish from it.

A Reflection on Obedience and Authority

Shouldn't the Creator's viewpoint or opinion matter if someone professes to love Him? fter all, YaHuWaH commands His chosen Israelites, not Christians, to listen to and obey only His voice and His instructions in the ToRaH, or the voice of His chosen prophets and messenger (DaBaRiYM 4, 28:1-2, 13:4 “Deuteronomy”). It’s critical to note that in both the Hebrew TaNaKh and the Christian New Testament, there is no mention of Jesus or his disciples being chosen by the God of Israel to be His prophets.

Given that most Western holidays are associated with non-Israelite, pagan ways of worship and foreign beliefs and practices that draw people away from YaHuWaH and His ToRaH, we choose not to observe them (ALaPh MaLAKiYM 11:1-2 “1 Kings”, DaBaRiYM 4:2, 12:32, “Deuteronomy” and MaShaL 30:5-6 “Proverbs”). Nowhere in the Hebrew ToRaH does YaHuWaH command Israel to worship any form either man, woman, object, animal, or to make pagan practices of worship part of Israelite culture (ShaMuWTh 20:3, 4-6, 34:14 “Exodus”, YaRaMiYaHuW 10:2-5 “Jeremiah”, ALaPh ALuWHiYM 15:13 “1 Kings”, DaBaRiYM 7:1-16, 12:30-31 “Deuteronomy”, YaChaZaQAL 14:1-9 “Ezekiel”, MiYaKYaHuW 5:13 “Micah”)?

When and where did YaHuWaH give the command that Israelites were permitted to wed individuals who worship other gods, men, women, or objects? Even Christians are a people who put all trust into their deified New Testament Messiah mediator for salvation and according to the Creator, this is offensive (Exodus 20:3-5 and DaBaRiYM 7:3-4 “Deuteronomy“). The authors of the Christian New Testament made an effort to appropriate the identity of the Nation of YiSRAL (YaHuWaH's true son) and insert their antiquated pagan beliefs of a salvific son/demigod who dies and rises (which is age-old Roman/Greek cultural history and theology).

Since everyone has the right to say and believe in whatever or whoever they choose, the information we share on this website isn't intended to stir up debate, be rude, or be disrespectful. We do, however, want to offer objective FACTS about religion because it is so commonplace (and frequently uncontested) here in Western culture to accept ignorance, compromise, hypocrisy, and Christian dogma. The very existence of the Christian religion solely depends on the ignorance of its followers. With that said, research teaches us that ALL religions are man-made and have hidden agendas (organized religion started in 325 AD the Council of Nicea).

Word Etymology educates us that “religion” is based on monastic vows and not on the Hebraic lifestyle (in which they lived to please the Creator YaHuWaH alone). Many are in the dark when it comes to the facts regarding the Westernized English-translated bible, the Hebrew origins of that book, the real god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and who the anointed firstborn son of the god of Israel truly is according to the Creator (not men or religion). Again, many are truly in the dark however the undisputed facts are found in the Hebrew ToRaH or aka Old Testament (ShaMuWTh 4:22-23 "Exodus”, HuWShuWA 11:1 "Hosea", ZaMaR 105:1-15 “Psalm” and ALaPh DaBaR 16:14-22 "1 Chronicle"). This is why it’s critical to compare the Hebrew ToRaH (the established foundation) against the Christian New Testament.

Since 2009, we have been sharing the information that the Negroes/Hebrews (Semitic people) are the true Israelites of the Hebrew TaNaKh (also known as the "Old Testament") and that no other race of people on earth fulfills the prophecy in Deuteronomy 28:68 regarding slave ships. Overwhelming facts prove that all races in the world (including Europeans) come from a melanated man or “ADaM” (progenitor of the human race) etymology def (various European scientific DNA, facts and evidence proving the first Homo Sapien is a black man). All life, races, cultures, and creeds come from the Creator and God of Israel. With that said, PLEASE DO NOT mistake us for the various black Hebrew Israelite hate group camps who believe that all Europeans are evil, abominations and that salvation from sin and rescue from captivity only comes by way of the New Testament messiah. Many people over the years have called us anti-Semitic, however, how can an Israelite (aka Negro/Hebrew) be anti-Semitic when they are ShaMiYTS/Shemites?

CHRISTIAN RELIGION

 

CHRISTIANITY

Estimations show there are more than 200 Christian variants/denominations in the U.S. and a staggering 45,000 world-wide.

 

Christianity is a religion that depends on its adherents' ignorance for its very survival.

Even within Christianity, postmodern influences are clearly visible, as personal beliefs and subjective interpretations increasingly shape religious practices. This is evident in the sheer number of New Testament denominations, with over 200 Christian sects in the U.S. alone and an estimated 45,000 globally. Such fragmentation underscores how individualized theology has become a dominant force in shaping Christian identity and doctrine.

The Hebrew TaNaKh (or what people are conditioned to call the Old Testament) teaches the nation of Israel is the Creator's chosen people, and that YaHuWaH, the God of Israel NEVER commanded them to convert to Christianity, create a religion, or follow pagan practices of worship to be saved, pardoned, redeemed of their sins, or freed from captivity. Israel was NEVER instructed to worship the Creator (or any of His creations under heaven, including a New Testament Messiah), according to pagan traditions or holidays, or with pictures, statues, symbols, or idols made in anyone's likeness or imitation, as is the case with New Testament believers and or other religions (DaBaRiYM 4:16 "Deuteronomy"). How long will those who "say" they adore the Creator continue to lead dual lives and maintain two diametrically opposed lifestyles (ALaPh MaLAKiYM 18:21 "1 Kings")?

How can people say they are NOT of this world and are following the god of YiSREALs commandment in YaRaMiYaHuW 10:2 (Jeremiah) when they proudly defend non-Creator approved pagan traditions or Christian theologies that are wicked and hated in the Creator’s eyes (DaBaRiYM 12:30-32 “Deuteronomy”)? Whose words, reasoning, or thought process hold more authority, a sophist or the Creator who made mankind? Deep, unbiased research enlightens us with numerous, resounding facts that demonstrate that Christianity has never actually had a foundation upon which to stand. Remember that it is impossible for the Christian New Testament to be accurate and the Hebrew ToRaH to be inaccurate. The Christian New Testament may be untrue, but the Hebrew Bible may very well be. Again, why can't you refute passages from the Hebrew ToRaH with references from the Christian New Testament? The Hebrew scriptures are axiomatic since the Hebrew ToRaH serves as the foundation for both the Christian religion and their New Testament.

Simple research reveals that Christianity is founded on the idea that Jesus was openly stated by Eastern, Roman Catholic, and Protestant civilizations (NOT Hebrew people) to be Latin/European (or, depending on what doctrine you adhere to, a Middle Eastern or a black man). If an individual identifies as non-religious, doesn't attend church, or even is just spiritual, yet believes in any form of the Christian New Testament messiah for salvation, by definition they are a Christian. A Christian is someone who places their faith in and adheres to the teachings of a divinely revered figure who sacrificed their life and experienced resurrection to become their savior. Depending on what sect you follow that savior’s name can be any of the following: Jesus, YeShuWA, YaHuWShuWA, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShA, YaShA, AHaYa, etc.). However against this extremely popular Christian New Testament belief, in regards to salvation in the Hebrew ToRaH; NONE of the Creator’s chosen Hebrew prophets taught anything remotely close to John 3:16-18, 14:16, Acts 4:12, 16:31, and various other Christian New Testament verses (DaBaRiYM 6:17, 8:6, 15:5 “Deuteronomy”, LuWiYM 22:31 “Leviticus“ and YaHuWShuWA 22:5 “Joshua”).

The Hebrews (YiSRAL) in the Old Testament were NEVER called Christians (est. in the 1500s). They only trusted and followed their god and spiritual father YaHuWaH, or a chosen anointed one raised up by YaHuWaH to lead them (YaShAYaHuW 48:17 “Isaiah”, ShaMuWTh 4:22-23 "Exodus", ZaMaR 105:1-15 “Psalm” and ALaPh DaBaR 16:14-22 "1 Chronicle" and HuWShuWA 11:1 "Hosea"). Another point to add is that NEVER do we read in the Hebrew ToRaH where YiSRAL gave esteem and worship (H7812 ShaKhaH) to any of YaHuWaH’s chosen/anointed ones/messengers/leaders/prophets or kings as a deified salvific man instead of or before the Creator. Unbiased research educates us with FACTS regarding the nation of YiSRAL revealing that an animal blood sacrifice was NEVER the only way they could be forgiven for unintentional sin by THEIR Creator YaHuWaH (see FORGIVENESS). This is not the case for other cultural beliefs and requirements for forgiveness from their deities, however, since the Hebrew ToRaH is all about the Creator and His chosen people (the Hebrews) THIS is what He established in the Hebrew Old Testament concerning His son YiSRAL and forgiveness.

 

1987 American Heritage Illustrated Encyclopedic Dictionary

Research proves that although Christianity is based on the Hebrew ToRaH(the ThaNaKh / the Old Testament), this religion’s origins are NOT of Hebrew culture but in FACT that of Greco-Roman culture. Every Christian will agree that the New Testament CAN’T be true and the Hebrew ThaNaKh be false because their religion and foundation are based on the ThaNaKh. Unfortunately for the majority of people who follow Christian theology, the Christian New Testament is their foundation, and everything hinges on their salvific demigod (10 Dying & Rising Pagan Gods prior to Jesus). Our historical investigation uncovers that the pagan Roman Catholic Church (along with 150 bishops/priests from various cultures) at the Council of Nicaea and at the First Council of Constantinople (325-381 AD) birthed the trinity doctrine (which was a later Christian invention) and many other cultural flavors of solar/sun worship called Astrolatry (which is based on the movement of the sun and stars). This pagan practice of worshiping the rise and fall of the undying sun (or “son” in Christianity) on SUNday reaches back to the 14th century BCE.

The Catholic church for over a thousand years (before the existence of a Protestant) by virtue of her divine mission changed YaHuWaHs rest day from the seventh day to SUNday (Roman Catholics and Protestants confessions about SUNday). A book entitled “The Christian Sabbath” (written in 1893 and published by the Catholic Mirror) uses various bible verses to show that the Roman Catholic Church exploited their divine authority to change the established rest day of YaHuWaH, and yet the "Word of YaHuWaH" still remains unchanged (download the pdf). When people go to church on SUNday they are unknowingly worshiping the SUN deity and they are in FACT following the commandment of a Catholic Pope and NOT that of the Creator YaHuWaH who tells us to keep the rest day QaDaSh forever (ShaMuWTh 20:8-11, 31:16 “Exodus”). When people follow the Christian New Testament, they are in FACT breaking the first commandment and are putting a god of others (the Christians) before the Creator YaHuWaH (ShaMuWTh 20:3, 23:13 “Exodus”). Furthermore, the Creator instructs His people NOT to mention the name of other gods out of their mouths, and this is exactly what Christianity and THEIR New Testament conditions people to do (ShaMuWTh 23:13 “Exodus”).

With 200 Christian variants/denominations in the U.S. and a staggering 45,000 worldwide, it’s no wonder why this very popular, enabling, emotion-driven, and truth-compromising facet of their pagan religion is 2 billion strong (which DOES NOT sound like a remnant mentioned in YaShAYaHuW 10:21-23 “Isaiah”). This also further proves that the religion of Christianity is based on personal interpretation, individual perceptions of one’s own truth, emotional feel-good and NOT obeying the Creator's commandments (which is a requirement). This is why history records many other ethnic cultures having various gods and or saviors / Christ / anointed ones that were also demigods like European Jesus (demi-humans are born from the conception of a god and a mortal). Many don’t realize or haven’t been taught that various pagan nations have ALWAYS sought or collaborated against YaHuWaH’s words, and against His anointed prophets (ZaMaR 2:1-6, 83:1-5 “Psalm”).

Talk is cheap and many Christians say they love and serve the god of YiSRAL, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob however when put to the test, they proudly reject YaHuWaH who is in FACT the ONLY ALuWaH (mighty one) of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and YiSRAL (the Hebrews) the chosen people in the Old Testament. If we are NOT willing to go back and make time to study the Old Testament, how are we to know what YaHuWaH indeed requires of those who say they are His (MaShaL 1:7 “Proverbs”)? What we MUST come to realize is that there are two totally different cultural paradigms that are clashing. There’s the Hebrew culture and way of life found in the Old Testament, and then there’s this altered, Christianized lifestyle pawned off of the Hebrew culture in the Christian New Testament. Did you know that every English bible is a heavily, translated, and extremely watered-down Westernized version of the melanated Middle Eastern Hebrew people's history and culture? If we aren’t willing to have an open mind, take an emotional step back, and look at the scriptures from the perspective of the Hebrew people, because of the conditioned Western mindset the Hebrew ThaNaKh is vastly misinterpreted.

Unfortunately, most who follow Christian theology massage the Christian bible’s Hebrew origins into something completely different than what it actually means, which is a form of the thought process called harm reduction. When someone says "Well I don't believe that’s how the Hebrew people in ancient times lived, so that's NOT what the text truly means". This thought process is called harm reduction which attempts to reduce the harm that various informational truths may cause to others, by altering its proper contextual core meaning. Although this is dishonest to the text unfortunately this is a tremendously common reoccurring practice in regard to how Christians are taught to look at the Hebrew origins of the Christian New Testament. Because Christian churches rarely teach from the original Hebrew ToRaH, various misconceptions about ToRaH and The New Testament are spread by Christians.

This simple oversight has caused the masses to believe in false ideologies/doctrines, false names, false images, false prophets, false symbols/customs, and unapproved ways of worshipping the Creator (traditions of men) that were NEVER commanded by the Heavenly Father and NEVER originated with His people (the Hebrews) in scripture. Since the religion of Christianity is emotion-driven and based on personal interpretation, it is predicated on the idea that the Creator is like a genie who bestows prosperity on everyone (even when they choose to continually live in disobedience to His established commandments in the Hebrew ToRaH). If this were the case then YaHuWaH would have NEVER sent His anointed son and firstborn YiSRAL into captivity time and time again (Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome). Christianity teaches that you can receive blessings without having to change your life to please the Creator (NOT their Christian New Testament messiah).

 
 

With this said, it’s NO secret that the Christian New Testament has several profound contradictions to the Old Testament (roughly 400,000 scribal errors according to textual scholar Edward D. Andrews), and the religion of Christianity depends solely on the claim that the New Testament has fulfilled the Old Testament. Again, if we aren’t willing to take the time to cross-reference the claims of the Christian New Testament, how do we truly know we are following YaHuWaHs commandments or the commandments of others (DaBaRiYM 13:4 “Deuteronomy”)? This is why we (WOTR) will always encourage EVERYONE to always go back to the origins to get a full overstanding of where and why people do what they do. Against popular Western belief, the New Testament/Christianity removes YaHuWaHs obedience and facts and adds never-ending grace and faith (DaBaRiYM 4:2, 12:32, “Deuteronomy” and MaShaL 30:5-6 “Proverbs”).


MaShaL 4:7 “Proverbs”

5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.



“If you’re being silent about all the blatant hypocrisy in Christianity you are part of the problem, silence is compliance”.

PROGRESSIVE REVELATION

Pro·gres·sive

Happening or developing gradually or in stages

The idea of progressive revelation is not confined to the Christian religion, and variations of the concept can be found in other philosophical and spiritual traditions as well. It generally reflects the belief that divine guidance unfolds gradually over time, adapting to the needs and capacities of humanity. Given that Christianity exhibits 45,000 variations worldwide, it becomes evident that interpretations of what the Creator established as unchanging are significantly influenced by personal interpretation, emotion, philosophy, and theology.

This is the reason why you observe diverse Christian church denominations embracing same-sex marriages and 72 genders. These factions hold the belief that religion is progressive, and they consider the ToRaH or what they call the Old Testament outdated due to the perceived progress and evolution of mankind’s sexuality and intellect. However, the Hebrew ToRaH and the Christian New Testament warn against these abominations (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

Founded in the 19th century, the principle of progressive revelation is a central tenet. It asserts that God has sent messengers, such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, and Bahá'u'lláh, at different times in history to reveal spiritual truths and guidance for humanity progressively. Although this concept appeals to this new generation’s compromise, it also suggests that the ToRaH established by God Israel YaHuWaH is a lie. We know the ToRaH teaches that YaHuWaH would tell His prophets all that would come, thus no need for progressive revelations.

YaShAYaHuW 42:9 “Isaiah”

9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I TELL YOU OF THEM.

AMuWS 3:7 “Amos”

7 Surely YaHuWaH God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets.

YaShAYaHuW 45:19,22

19 I have NOT SPOKEN IN SECRET, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I YaHuWaH speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

22 Look unto ME, and BE YE SAVED, all the ends of the earth: for I am AL (the all mighty, the one true God), and there is NONE else.

The final book among the prophets, MaLAKiY (Malachi) clearly states that until the return of ALiYaH (Elijah), the Creator and God of Israel YaHuWaH will no longer appoint prophets to admonish Israel to adhere to the ToRaH (Deuteronomy 30:15-19, and Ezekiel 18:32). This serves as a strong cautionary message: if someone, whether a pastor, sect leader, mentor, or teacher, claims to have received a revelation, dream, or idea from a deity (even explicitly from YaHuWaH), proceed with extreme caution!

MaLAKiY 4:4-6 “Malachi”KJV, 3:22-24 in the ToRaH

4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of YaHuWaH:

6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

FELLOWSHIP ACCORDING TO TANAKH

The Hebrew Culture

In the Hebrew TaNaKh, the concept of fellowship encompasses various dimensions of community, relationships, and adherence to the God of Israel’s commandments

The Influence of Western Culture on Christian Concepts and Beliefs

Western culture, particularly through the lens of religion, has been heavily shaped by Christian ideologies rooted in the New Testament. Many concepts that dominate Western religious thought, such as fellowship, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the transformation of the individual to become "Christ-like," are widely practiced within Christian communities. These ideas are directly tied to passages like Ephesians 4:11-16 and Romans 12:3-7, which emphasize the unity of believers in Christ, the spiritual gifts given to the body of Christ, and the call to personal renewal.

According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, a Christian is defined as "one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ." This definition points to a key distinction: Christianity is Christ-centered, meaning that its core beliefs and practices revolve around the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the spiritual transformation to become "Christ-like.

However, the concept of becoming "Christ-like" differs significantly from the Hebrew way of life outlined in the TaNaKh. The Hebrew scriptures focus on strict obedience to the God of Israel and adherence to the ToRaH, rather than following the teachings of someone whom the ToRaH identifies as a false prophet. This distinction underscores a fundamental divergence between Christian interpretations and the Hebrew culture, which is rooted in the covenantal relationship with the God of Israel, YaHuWaH. The Hebrew TaNaKh (what people are conditioned to call the Old Testament) emphasizes a covenant relationship between Israel and YaHuWaH alone where following the commandments and maintaining righteousness are central to their lifestyle. In contrast, Christianity teaches that a New Testament messiah is the fulfillment of the ToRaH and that believers are transformed by the Holy Spirit to be conformed to His image.

While Christianity promotes the idea of emulating Jesus Christ (as seen in the popular phrase “take off the old man and put on Christ”), it is important to recognize that this does not necessarily equate to becoming "YaHuWaH-like" as understood in the Hebrew TaNaKh. Christianity, particularly in its Western expressions, often centers on concepts that are foreign to the original teachings of the Hebrew ToRaH, focusing instead on personal salvation, spiritual gifts, and Christ as the mediator between humanity and the God of Israel.

Thus, anyone who professes belief in the teachings of the New Testament through its Messiah (whether referred to as Jesus Christ, YaHaWaHShi, YaHuWShuWA, YeShuWA, YaHuWShA, etc.), regardless of whether they claim a religious affiliation, is, by definition, considered a Christian. The term "Christian" means "Christ-like," emphasizing a focus on Jesus, rather than the ToRaH established by God of Israel as understood in the Hebrew culture. This distinction underscores how Western religious thought has evolved to prioritize the New Testament and its teachings, shaping much of contemporary religious practices and beliefs.

Concepts like “putting off the old man and putting on Christ”, “the role of the Holy Spirit”, “Jesus being the Father”, and “God will help people believe” reflect a distinctly Christian perspective. These ideologies are largely shaped by New Testament theology and do not align with the God of Israel’s unchanging teachings established in the Hebrew TaNaKh.

Fellowship as taught in Christianity vs. Fellowship in the Hebrew TaNaKh:

In Christianity, the concept of fellowship often emphasizes community within the body of Christ, encouraging mutual support, worship, and evangelism (as in Romans 12:3-7 and Ephesians 4:11-16). However, the TaNaKh focuses on communal responsibility to the covenant and the law (ToRaH), communal worship, and acts of righteousness.

  • Fellowship in the Hebrew Bible (TaNaKh) involves gatherings for worship, festivals, and study of the ToRaH (Exodus 23:14-17, Deuteronomy 16:16) Not New Testament teachings. At this time Israel was considered a nation in the making, chosen and set apart by YaHuWaH. Fellowship, in this sense, is centered on obeying the commandments, caring for the poor, widows, and orphans, and maintaining the moral and religious fabric of the Israelite community.

  • Encouragement and Admonition in the TaNaKh: In the Hebrew Bible, YaHuWaH chosen prophets and leaders are called to admonish the people of Israel, encouraging them to return to YaHuWaH's ToRaH (Deuteronomy 30:11-20, Isaiah 58:1). The idea of encouraging people to repent and return to the Creator’s ways is significant but not in the context of "fellowship" as it is framed in the Christian religion.

God Helping People Believe (Faith in God):

In Christian theology, the idea that God helps people believe is rooted in the concept of grace and divine intervention. For example, Ephesians 2:8 states, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." This reflects the idea that faith is something given by God.

  • In the Hebrew Bible, faith or belief in the God of Israel is important, but the concept of YaHuWaH "helping" people believe in the teachings of truth by a New Testament messiah is never present. In the TaNaKh, belief, and trust in YaHuWaH are often presented as personal choices based on observing YaHuWaH's actions in history, such as His deliverance of Israel from Egypt or His provision in the wilderness.

  • An example of choosing belief is found in Deuteronomy 30:19, where Moses tells the Israelites to choose life by loving YaHuWaH, obeying His voice, ToRaH, and holding fast to Him. While YaHuWaH gives commandments and calls His people Israel to follow Him, belief is seen as part of the human responsibility to respond to YaHuWaH's revelation.

    • Deuteronomy 30:11-14 emphasizes that YaHuWaH's commandments are not too difficult to understand or follow: “It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us to bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’” This implies that belief and obedience are within the capacity of all people, without needing divine assistance in the form of the Holy Spirit, or from the death of an innocent blood sacrifice as understood in Christianity.

The ideas of fellowship, the role of the Holy Spirit, and spiritual transformation as described in the statements above are all Christian concepts that are not supported in the Hebrew TaNaKh. The TaNaKh focuses on obedience to the ToRaH, communal worship to YaHuWaH, and the role of chosen prophets and leaders to guide Israel. The RuWaCh is present in the Hebrew Bible, but it functions in a more situational manner, empowering individuals for specific tasks rather than as a continuous indwelling presence for all believers as seen in Christianity.

The Christian ideas of fellowship, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and transformation through Christ are part of New Testament theology and are never part of the original teachings of the Hebrew Bible. The Christian concepts that "God will help people believe" and that people are to "obey the truth through the Holy Spirit" are central to New Testament theology. However, these ideologies and concepts are not rooted in the the Hebrew TaNaKh.

In the Hebrew Bible, the God of Israel grants humanity free will to choose between obedience and disobedience, life and death. Scriptures like Deuteronomy 30:15-16 and others (see Deuteronomy 11:26-28, 30:15-16, Leviticus 26:3-12, Joshua 1:8, 24:15, Proverbs 3:1-2, Isaiah 1:19-20 and Jeremiah 7:23) emphasize that individuals are responsible for their own choices. YaHuWaH presents the path to life (through obedience to His ToRaH) and the path to destruction (through disobedience), but the decision rests with each person. This principle underlines the idea that YaHuWaH does not compel belief or obedience; rather, He allows individuals to exercise free will.

From a Christian perspective, some interpret that God helps people believe through His grace and intervention (the New Testament Messiah), often referred to as "divine assistance." This concept is rooted in verses like Philippians 2:13, which states, "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." Christian theology, especially in traditions like Calvinism, teaches that God's grace can "predestine" or "elect" people to believe, and the Holy Spirit works in their hearts to enable faith. This concept contrasts with the Hebrew Bible’s portrayal of free will, where the emphasis is on individual responsibility to choose YaHuWaH's path without divine coercion.

In the Hebrew TaNaKh, free will play a central role in one's relationship with YaHuWaH. For instance, in Jeremiah 7:23, YaHuWaH commands obedience, yet it is up to the people to heed or reject this call. The notion of free will is also emphasized in Psalm 1, where the righteous choose to meditate on YaHuWaH's ToRaH (not the teachings of a New Testament messiah), and in Deuteronomy 11:26-28, where the Israelites are presented with a choice between blessing and curse based on their actions.

In contrast, some Christian doctrines view God's role as more active in helping individuals come to faith, particularly through concepts like prevenient grace (grace that enables one to choose God) or irresistible grace (the idea that God's grace can compel belief in some). This can be seen in Ephesians 2:8-9, where faith is considered a gift from God rather than something humans can produce on their own.

Thus, the Christian concept of God helping people believe contrasts with the Creator’s established principles in the Hebrew Bible, where free will is central. The focus in the Hebrew scriptures is on each individual’s responsibility to choose life and obedience to YaHuWaH without any form of external compulsion.

YaHuWShuWA 24:15 “Joshua”

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve YaHuWaH, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Joshua 24:15 is a pivotal verse in which Joshua, the leader of Israel, makes a powerful declaration about serving the God of Israel. The verse comes from Joshua’s farewell address to the Israelites, where he challenges them to choose whom they will serve: either the gods of their ancestors or the God of Israel, YaHuWaH. Joshua passionately declares his commitment: "But as for me and my house, we will serve YaHuWaH."

Summary of Joshua 24:15:

Joshua presents a choice to the people of Israel after reminding them of YaHuWaH's faithfulness throughout their history. He tells them they must decide whether they will serve the foreign gods that their ancestors worshiped or the God who delivered them from Egypt. Joshua, however, firmly declares that he and his family will serve the God of Israel, YaHuWaH.

Joshua's Passion to Serve YaHuWaH:

Joshua’s passion is rooted in his unwavering loyalty to YaHuWaH, the God of Israel. Throughout his leadership, Joshua remained committed to obeying YaHuWaH’s ToRaH and leading the Israelites according to the ToRaH. His declaration in Joshua 24:15 reflects both his personal conviction and his desire for the nation of Israel to remain faithful to YaHuWaH.

If Joshua were alive today, his unwavering passion for YaHuWaH, the God of Israel, would compel him to reject the worship of any other deities, including Jesus, any versions of a New Testament Messiah, Zeus, Buddha, and all other gods. His deep commitment stems from having witnessed the miraculous works of YaHuWaH, from the Exodus to the conquest of Canaan. Joshua’s zeal for YaHuWaH is evident in his lifelong choice of obedience to the God of Israel over the influences of surrounding cultures (Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 13:1-11). Joshua's leadership and passion set a standard for future generations to serve YaHuWaH with devotion, underscoring the significance of covenantal faithfulness in the Hebrew TaNaKh.

This dedication would persist in modern times, even when faced with temptations to worship false idols or to follow teachers, mentors, sect leaders, or pastors who give signs and wonders, and emotional or financial fulfillment. Deuteronomy 6:16 advises the people of Israel not to test YaHuWaH their God, referencing a previous instance at Massah where they did so. The verse emphasizes trust and obedience to YaHuWaH without demanding signs or proofs, reminding them to follow His commandments faithfully. Joshua would understand that these falsehoods are merely tests of his faithfulness to the ToRaH of YaHuWaH. He would remain steadfast in his devotion to the one true God, recognizing that any temptation to worship other deities, including a figure revered by 2.4 billion New Testament believers worldwide, is designed to test his loyalty to YaHuWaH (Deuteronomy 13:3).

I'M TIRED OF ALL THIS HEBREW STUFF

AMeN: אמן verily, truly, so be it

Though "Amen" has been adopted into many languages, including English, and is used in Christian worship worldwide, its origin is distinctly Hebrew.

The Hebrew Bible is the Foundation of Christianity:

When Christian pastors downplay the importance of studying, speaking, or learning Hebrew based on the argument that they live in America and speak English, they overlook the foundational role the Hebrew Bible plays in their own religious tradition. Even though Christianity has its own unique doctrines, its core teachings, moral framework, and even many of its key terms are derived directly from the Hebrew TaNaKh (what Christians are conditioned to call the Old Testament). In fact, dismissing the Hebrew origins of their faith while simultaneously using Hebrew words and concepts in their worship and theology is not only contradictory but also hypocritical.

  • Scriptural Foundation: The Hebrew TaNaKh, also known as the Old Testament in Christian contexts, is the foundation upon which the New Testament was built. It contains the creation narrative, the covenant with Israel, the Ten Commandments, the history of the prophets, and the Messianic prophecies. These texts form the ethical, theological, and spiritual underpinnings of Christianity.

    • The New Testaments Messiah's Teachings Rooted in the Hebrew TaNaKh: Jesus (aka YeShuWA, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShuWA, YaShA, etc.) taught from the Hebrew Bible. He referenced the ToRaH and the Prophets (Luke 4:16-21, Matthew 5:17-18), and even Paul encouraged people to study the Hebrew ToRaH (2 Timothy 2:15-16). Jesus constantly referred to the Hebrew scriptures as the authority for His teachings, making it clear that understanding these texts is crucial to understanding His message.

    • Summary of 2 Timothy 2:15-16: In 2 Timothy 2:15, Paul advises Timothy to diligently present himself to the God of Israel as one who is approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, and who correctly handles the ToRaH in truth. In verse 16, Paul warns against irreverent and empty chatter, as it leads to more ungodliness.

      Elaboration: Paul's instruction to "study to shew thyself approved unto God" is a call to study scripture deeply and responsibly. During Paul's time, the primary scriptures available were the Hebrew TaNaKh (Torah, Prophets, and Writings). Paul encouraged believers, including Timothy, to study these texts as the foundation of what is truth. By doing so, believers would gain wisdom and understanding, enabling them to live righteously and be approved by the God of Israel.

      Paul's warning to avoid empty chatter further emphasizes the importance of grounding oneself in the truth of TaNaKh, specifically the ToRaH, which holds the core teachings of the God of Israel's law and commandments. This reinforces the idea that, for Paul, the proper study of YaHuWaH's guidance—rooted in the Hebrew TaNaKh—was essential for true faithfulness and approval in the eyes of the God of Israel.

  • Use of Hebrew Terms: Many key Christian theological concepts and practices are based on Hebrew terms and ideas. For example:

    • "Amen" (אָמֵן) – A Hebrew word meaning “truth” or “so be it,” commonly used at the end of prayers.

    • "Hallelujah" (הַלְלוּיָהּ) – A Hebrew phrase meaning “Praise YaH” (shortened form of YaHuWaH).

    • "Messiah" (מָשִׁיחַ) – A Hebrew word meaning “Anointed One.”

    • "Sabbath" (שַׁבָּת) – The day of rest, deeply rooted in Hebrew scripture (Genesis 2:3, Exodus 20:8-11).

    • "ToRaH" (תּוֹרָה) – Meaning “instruction” or “law,” the central part of the Hebrew Bible that Christians refer to as the Law of Moses.

Many of these words are used in Christian worship and sermons, often without acknowledgment of their Hebrew origins. This creates a contradiction: pastors and congregations use and rely on Hebrew terms and concepts while downplaying or dismissing the Hebrew Bible from which they come.

When Christian pastors downplay the importance of learning the Hebrew Bible, they overlook the foundational role it plays in the development of Christian theology, worship, and ethics. The Hebrew TaNaKh forms the core of the moral and theological framework that Christianity is built, and many of the words and concepts that Christians regularly use come directly from Hebrew. Rejecting the Hebrew context while relying on its language and teachings is inconsistent and undermines a full understanding of the Christian faith. Thus, studying the Hebrew TaNaKh is vital for any Christian aiming to fully grasp their religious traditions and practices in light of what the Creator and God of Israel requires and has declared as unchanging.

I'm tired of all this Hebrew stuff

We've heard it countless times: "I'm tired of all this Hebrew stuff; serving God doesn't require all that!" or "We live in America, and speak English so stop telling people to study the Hebrew Bible." Surprisingly, these statements often come from Christians and pastors. Although Christians make these statements, it's ironic because they agree that Christianity is based on the commandments of the God of Israel—which originate from where? The Hebrew TaNaKh.

Why do we often hear this statement from Christians? Is it because they are evil people or because they hate the God of Israel? Absolutely not. It's simply because they were never taught to recognize that Christianity's core concepts are rooted in the Hebrew Bible, which is unchanging and authoritative. While Christianity emerged from the context of first-century Judaism many Christians today are surprised, defensive, or even resistant when confronted with the fact that their religion is deeply rooted in the Hebrew TaNaKh (Old Testament) and the relationship between the God of Israel and the Israelites. This reaction can stem from a variety of theological, cultural, emotional, and historical reasons that have shaped Christian identity over the centuries.

It's utterly shocking to many Christians when they learn that academic scholars from prestigious Universities, unequivocally agree that the Christian religion is based on the concepts of the Hebrew Bible. Without these foundational concepts, Christianity as a religion would fail. However, when you speak with a local pastor, Sunday school teacher, or a Christian who is unaware of this fact, they may vehemently deny it, insisting that it's false, a lie, or even a deception from the devil. We (WOTR) know this firsthand, as we've witnessed such emotional reactions to this truth—not our truth, but the truth established by the Creator. They often dispute and reject the ToRaH when they discover that their religion is rooted in or dependent on the foundational concepts of the Hebrew Bible.

Christians are shocked, push back, or are in disbelief when they encounter the fact that their religion is fundamentally based on the Hebrew TaNaKh and the covenantal relationship between the God of Israel and His chosen people, the Israelites and not Christians. Since we were Christians, we understand these emotional responses because we had to deal with the shock as well. However, after 14 years of research and study of the Hebrew ToRaH, we are no longer afraid or confused. Understanding these responses requires a deep dive into the theological teachings, cultural narratives, and historical developments that have influenced Christian thought and practice.

By examining these factors, we can gain insight into the reasons behind this resistance and the implications it has for interfaith dialogue, religious education, and the spiritual journey of many Christians. Many American scholars, including those from Duke University, have acknowledged that Christianity is deeply rooted in concepts from the Hebrew Bible (also known as the Old Testament). This understanding is a widely accepted view in biblical scholarship and is not limited to Duke University scholars.

One prominent scholar from Duke University who has discussed the connection between Christianity and the Hebrew Bible is Dr. Richard B. Hays, a well-known New Testament scholar. He has written extensively about the ways in which the New Testament writers interpreted and reappropriated the Hebrew Scriptures to articulate the beliefs of the early Christian communities. His work emphasizes that many of the theological concepts in Christianity are drawn from, and cannot be fully understood without reference to, the Hebrew Bible.

In general, the consensus among biblical scholars is that Christianity, especially in its early development, was heavily dependent on the Hebrew Bible, as it provided the scriptural foundation for the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. This includes theological concepts such as covenant, prophecy, and messianic expectations, all of which are rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures.

the Hebrew TaNaKh is critically important to the religion of Christianity

The Hebrew TaNaKh is critically important to the foundational beliefs, practices, and theological frameworks of many popular religions. These religions are either directly or indirectly built upon the Hebrew TaNaKh, and if their beliefs were found to be inconsistent with its foundational principles, it would challenge the very essence of their existence. Here’s a detailed analysis of how the Christian religion solely relies on the Hebrew TaNaKh and the implications of any discrepancies with its teachings:

Christianity

  • Core Dependency: Christianity regards the Hebrew TaNaKh (aka the Old Testament) as divinely inspired and unchanging, and views it as containing prophecies about the final Messiah, which Christians believe were fulfilled by the New Testament savior (aka Jesus, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShuWA, YeShuWA, YaShA, YeShA, etc.). The Hebrew Bible sets the stage for the Christian narrative, including the fall of man, the need for redemption, and the covenant promises. Jesus' legitimacy as the Messiah is directly linked to Hebrew Bible prophecies, particularly those regarding the lineage of David, the concept of a suffering servant (Isaiah 53), and the covenantal promises made to Israel.

  • If Inconsistent: If the Hebrew Bible which contains the unchanging ToRaH of the Creator does not support the claims of the New Testament and Jesus as the Messiah, the entire Christian theology crumbles. The New Testament heavily relies on the Hebrew Bible to validate its teachings about Jesus. If those prophecies or references were proven to be misinterpreted or unrelated to the coming of Jesus, this would be tragic, as approximately 2.4 billion people follow Christianity and base their faith on the teachings of their New Testament Messiah. The notion that Christianity supersedes or fulfills the Hebrew Bible through Jesus must align with its original context; otherwise, Christianity would lose its scriptural legitimacy.

Implication: Christianity’s foundational claim of Jesus as the fulfillment of Hebrew Bible prophecies would be invalidated if those prophecies were misapplied, challenging its very existence as a religion.

We know the God of Israel is unchanging and so is His ToRaH (Numbers 23:19, Psalm 102:25-27, Psalm 33:11, Malachi 3:6, Isaiah 40:8, Isaiah 55:11 ). For the Christian religion, the Hebrew TaNaKh is essential to its theological, historical, and ethical identity. Any serious misalignment between their teachings and the Hebrew TaNaKh would undermine the legitimacy of their beliefs. The consequences would range from theological revision to the collapse of the religion’s entire belief system. These religions depend on their interpretations of the Hebrew TaNaKh to remain coherent, meaningful, and valid.

THE DANGER OF FALSE PRAISE AND WORSHIP

Idol

Any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth, that is worshiped.

It is well known that the United States and Western culture were not established as a Christian nation. However, they were significantly influenced by Judeo-Christian morals and values derived from the Christian Bible, which worships Jesus as God or views God through Jesus, often as part of a triune Godhead, depending on denominational interpretation. As more people are discovering the evidence and taking the time to consider diverse perspectives, the Christian community is increasingly acknowledging that their entire faith and New Testament claims are rooted in concepts from the Hebrew TaNaKh. Historical evidence demonstrates that without the Hebrew TaNaKh, there can be no Christianity.

This significant shift is visible when individuals in churches are seen with Hebrew tattoos, and pastors/Christians are beginning to realize that the Latin name Jesus (YeShuWA, in Hebrew) or the English name Joshua (YaHuWShuWA, in Hebrew) could not authentically represent this New Testament Jewish Messiah’s name.

Moreover, many worship leaders are coming to understand that English terms like "LORD" and "God" are merely titles and not names and that the Creator's true name is YHWH (YaHuWaH), however often mistakenly rendered as YaHWeH. For instance, Chris Tomlin, is a prominent American contemporary Christian music singer, songwriter, and worship leader known for his impactful worship songs in churches worldwide. His song "No One" (2022), created with worship leaders Brandon Lake and Jenn Johnson, celebrates the uniqueness and majesty of the Creator.

Throughout the years, many have faced ridicule for attempting to share the truth that the Christian New Testament is based on the Hebrew Bible and the culture of the Israelites, rather than on Christianity. Modern Christian praise and worship music frequently prioritizes emotional experiences and personal connections with the Creator, diverging from the collective and culturally rooted practices of the ToRaH that characterized the worship of the nation of Israel.

Reconnecting with these roots would enhance the depth and authenticity of worship in contemporary settings. Modern Christian praise and worship music and ancient Hebrew Israelite worship through song and music differ in both theological focus and worship style. Here’s a breakdown of how each tradition approaches worship:

1. Theological Focus:

  • Christian Worship: Given that there are 45,000 denominations of Christianity worldwide and 200+ in the U.S. alone, modern Christian worship music varies in interpretation. Usually, worship centers on praising God through Jesus, viewing Jesus as the mediator, or even as a divine figure within the Godhead (the concept of the Trinity). Songs often mention Jesus by name, focus on his role as Savior, and praise his personal sacrifice. This is rooted in the New Testament’s portrayal of Jesus as the only means through which believers can access God and receive salvation. In many denominations, worship involves both direct praise to Jesus and through Jesus as the path to reaching God.

  • Hebrew Israelite Worship: In contrast, ancient Hebrew Israelite worship music was solely focused on YaHuWaH (the God of Israel). In the Hebrew TaNaKh, worship was directed exclusively to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, without any intermediary figures. Worship songs praised YaHuWaH's direct attributes, such as His justice, mercy, and strength. Israelite songs and psalms often recount His deeds and emphasize His covenantal relationship with the nation Israel as His chosen people. Jesus (or any messianic figure) being praised first was not a focus, as the Israelites’ relationship with YaHuWaH was direct. Any other way of worship would break the first commandment and be considered a sin “You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:2–3).

2. Worship Content and Language:

  • Christian Worship Lyrics: Modern Christian lyrics often reflect a personal and emotional relationship with God through Jesus. Themes like redemption, forgiveness, and individual salvation are common, with lyrics encouraging personal transformation and inviting believers to experience God’s love through Jesus. Many songs emphasize individual experiences of faith and portray God’s blessings as a response to belief in Jesus as Savior.

  • Israelite Worship Lyrics: Hebrew Israelite worship songs, such as those found in the Psalms, have a communal and national focus. t is never recorded in a song that the personal and emotional relationship with the God of Israel requires a mediator. Lyrics in Israelite worship songs often express reverence for YaHuWaH’s ToRaH and gratitude for His protection and guidance of Israel as a collective nation. They recount historical events, such as the Exodus and victories in battle, and emphasize loyalty to YaHuWaH's commandments. Songs focus on the collective experiences and covenantal relationship between YaHuWaH and Israel. Changing the name of the one who receives worship and esteem from the God of Israel, YaHuWaH, to Jesus raises significant theological and ethical concerns within the context of the commandments outlined in the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew ToRaH explicitly instructs that no one has the authority to add to or subtract from its commandments (Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:32 and Proverbs 30:5-6).

3. Musical Style and Form:

  • Christian Worship Style: Modern Christian praise and worship music uses contemporary styles, with influences from pop, rock, and even hip-hop. Instruments like electric guitars, drums, and keyboards are common, and many services use multimedia to enhance the experience. Worship leaders often lead congregations with an emotional, charismatic style, encouraging personal engagement and spontaneity.

  • Israelite Worship Style: Ancient Hebrew worship music was often accompanied by instruments like harps, lyres, cymbals, and trumpets. The worship style was formal and ritualistic, especially in the Temple context. Music served to glorify YaHuWaH and was sometimes led by Levitical musicians (from the tribe of Levi). Songs were structured and reverent, meant to honor YaHuWaH rather than elicit an emotional response from the worshipers themselves.

4. Purpose of Worship:

  • Christian Worship Purpose: Christian worship aims to draw believers into a personal relationship with God through Jesus, with a focus on individual transformation and salvation. Worship is often an act of personal devotion, meant to deepen the believer’s faith, strengthen personal reliance on Jesus, and affirm Christian beliefs.

  • Israelite Worship Purpose: Worship for the Hebrew Israelites focused on honoring YaHuWaH as their God and fulfilling covenantal obligations found in the Hebrew TaNaKh. Worship was a way to express reverence, gratitude, and loyalty, affirming YaHuWaH’s central role in their lives and history as a nation.

5. Scriptural Foundations:

  • Christian Worship Basis: Much of modern Christian worship music draws from the New Testament and interpretations of the Psalms, viewed through the lens of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Jesus is seen as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, and therefore, songs often reinterpret the Hebrew TaNaKh to apply to Him.

  • Israelite Worship Basis: Hebrew Israelite worship relied solely on the Hebrew TaNaKh, especially the Psalms, for inspiration. Songs were grounded in the texts that describe YaHuWaH’s covenant with Israel, laws, and historical deeds, and focused on upholding the ToRaH as the guide for communal and personal life. The Hebrew TaNaKh also prophesies the arrival of a final Messiah; however, this figure is never worshiped, nor is it recorded that this person will die by human sacrifice (a concept that is an abomination unto the God of Israel, Jeremiah 19:4-6, 32:35, 2 Kings 16:1-4, Ezekiel 23:36-40, Deuteronomy 18:9-12, Leviticus 18:21, 20:1-7, Psalm 106:34-41, Proverbs 6:16-19), rise on the third day, ascend to heaven, or return a third time to save Christians.

In summary, while both traditions use music to express devotion, ancient Hebrew worship was centered exclusively on YaHuWaH with a collective, covenantal focus, and a direct approach to worship without intermediaries. Modern Christian worship, by contrast, often emphasizes a personal relationship with God through Jesus as the pathway to experiencing divine love and salvation. This shift in focus reflects theological differences between the ancient Israelite lifestyle and the religion of Christianity.

the danger of FALSE WORSHIP IS NOISE

In Amos 5:23, the God of Israel declares, “Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not listen to the melody of your harps.” Here, He rejects Israel’s worship music, calling it "noise" because it lacks sincerity and true devotion. Although the Israelites were performing the correct practices and songs, their hearts were far from justice, mercy, and obedience to YaHuWaH's ToRaH. Their worship became offensive because it was hollow—a mere performance without the ethical commitment that He required.

YaHuWaH’s words in Amos covey that worship disconnected from righteousness, justice, and obedience to YaHuWaH's ToRaH is empty and unwelcome. This rejection also aligns with Isaiah 42:8 and 48:11, where YaHuWaH states, “I am YaHuWaH: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images”. False idol worship is considered noise, as it diverts praise and devotion from YaHuWaH to other entities, people, or deities, effectively sharing His glory with others, which He strictly forbids. Worship that includes idols or intermediaries contradicts YaHuWaH's exclusive claim to worship, rendering it offensive and void in His eyes.

In the Hebrew TaNaKh, the worship of YaHuWaH is expected to be both exclusive and pure, without influence from or association with other deities or intermediaries. The consistent message across the Hebrew TaNaKh is that YaHuWaH does not accept worship that is shared with or adapted from practices meant for other gods. This expectation of exclusivity and separation from other religious practices suggests that adapting worship originally intended for Jesus (or any other figure) would be incompatible with the principles of Hebrew Bible worship.

1. Exclusive Worship of YaHuWaH

  • No Sharing of Glory: Isaiah 42:8 says, “I am YaHuWaH; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another or My praise to idols.” This underscores YaHuWaH's expectation that He alone receives worship and glory, without sharing it with any other figure, whether divine or human. The Hebrew Bible strictly forbids any form of syncretism—blending or adapting worship elements intended for other gods or figures.

  • Jealousy for Pure Worship: Passages such as Exodus 20:3-5 and Deuteronomy 6:14-15 reflect YaHuWaH's "jealous" nature, where He explicitly commands that Israel must not worship other gods, or worship Him in ways that mimic pagan practices. YaHuWaH’s jealousy here is about protecting the purity of worship and loyalty, as using songs meant for another figure would violate His demand for undivided devotion. Singing praise and worship songs to statues, idols, other deities or figures of Jesus, or to any likeness (even the God of Israel), fundamentally breaks the commandment in Exodus 20:4-6. It constitutes idol worship by attributing or sharing divine significance to physical representations, which diverts honor and reverence away from YaHuWaH.

2. Condemnation of Adapting Pagan Practices

  • Worship Without Pagan Influence: In Deuteronomy 12:30-31, YaHuWaH commands Israel not to inquire about how other nations worship their gods or adopt their practices in worshiping Him. This means that any form of worship, song, or ritual originally associated with another god or figure is considered impure and unacceptable to Him. He expects Israel to maintain a distinct form of worship that aligns solely with His instructions.

  • Avoiding Pagan Holidays and Rituals: YaHuWaH forbids taking pagan festivals or holy days and repurposing them to honor Him. For example, Jeremiah 10:2-3 warns Israel not to learn the ways of the nations, as their practices are “vain.” This principle implies that even if the intention is to honor YaHuWaH, using elements associated with pagan worship songs is unacceptable because it corrupts the sanctity and distinctiveness of worship due to Him. Psalm 98:1-3 is a powerful call to worship through the expression of a “new song”, celebrating YaHuWaH’s marvelous deeds and righteousness. This is a directive for the Israelites to abandon their previous worship practices, particularly those directed toward false gods, and instead embrace a renewed and meaningful relationship with YaHuWaH. It calls for an authentic expression of worship that acknowledges His greatness, reflects their unique covenant, and fosters a deeper communal connection with the God of Israel. This shift from meaningless worship to sincere praise signifies a profound transformation in their spiritual life and identity. In other words, don’t take old songs of worship created and attributed to worship another deity and use them to praise the God of Israel YaHuWaH.

3. Modern Christian Songs to Jesus as Incompatible Worship

  • Distinct Identity of Worship in the Hebrew Bible: In the Hebrew Bible, YaHuWaH is clear that His worship should not borrow from practices that are intended for other deities, as this demeans His identity with that of other gods. Worship songs meant to exalt Jesus would be seen as praise for a figure other than YaHuWaH, and adapting these songs to focus on Him might still carry associations that compromise the purity of worship.

  • Syncretism as a Form of Idolatry: Syncretism—blending or repurposing elements meant for another figure or god—was seen as a form of idolatry in the Hebrew Bible. YaHuWaH would likely view worship that reuses songs meant for Jesus as problematic, much like He viewed Israel’s attempts to blend His worship with elements from surrounding pagan cultures.

The Hebrew ToRaH is agreed by Hebrew and Christian scholars to be the unchanging, sacred, and divinely inspired word and instructions from the God of Israel, given specifically to His chosen people, the Hebrew Israelites. It serves as the eternal foundation for the lifestyle, worship, and moral conduct of the Nation of Israel. Christians also agree and recognize that their religious foundation, praise and worship songs, and New Testament claims are all based on the concepts and prophecies contained in the Hebrew TaNaKh (the entire Hebrew bible, Genesis to Chronicles).

With that said, adopting or singing Christian praise and worship songs meant for Jesus to honor YaHuWaH would be viewed negatively in the context of the Hebrew TaNaKh. YaHuWaH consistently rejects any form of worship that incorporates elements originally associated with other deities or figures, as He demands exclusive and unadulterated worship. Mixing or adapting songs intended for Jesus, or repurposing practices meant for other gods, would conflict with the Hebrew Bible’s emphasis on pure and distinct worship, which YaHuWaH requires from His people.

WHAT IS SIN

1 John 1:8

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

THE NEW TESTAMENT Contrasts with the Hebrew Bible on Sin

1 John 1:8:
18 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

This verse emphasizes the inherent sinful nature of humanity and the need for continual confession and cleansing. In Christian theology, it reflects the doctrine of original sin, implying that all humans are born with a sinful nature inherited from Adam, making sin an unavoidable part of human existence. Here are some key contrasts:

Sin as an Action, Not an Inherent State:

  • Hebrew TaNaKh: Sin in the Hebrew Bible is primarily understood as a transgression of the God of Israel's commandments (ToRaH). It is an act rather than an inherent condition. For example:

    • Deuteronomy 24:16 “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin”.

    • Deuteronomy 30:19: "I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life..."

    • Ezekiel 18:20: "The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father."

    • Ezekiel 18:32 “For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith YaHuWaH God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye”.

    • 2 Chronicles 25:4 “But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where YaHuWaH commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin”.

    • 2 Kings 14:6 “But the children of the murderers He slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the ToRaH of Moses, wherein YaHuWaH commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin”.

    These passages emphasize individual accountability and the ability to choose righteousness or sin.

  • 1 John 1:8: By contrast, this verse suggests that sin is an unavoidable aspect of human nature, implying that no one can truthfully claim to be without sin.

The Hebrew Bible's Perspective on Sin:

The Hebrew Bible (TaNaKh) presents a different understanding of sin, focusing on individual actions and the potential for obedience. We know in Hebrew the English word for “sin” is H2398 KhaTA and means: to commit a mistake or an error, wander from the way, miss the mark, make a false step, go astray, or offend. In proper Hebrew context “sin” is to break, wander away, or miss the mark of a command of the ToRaH. Using the widely accepted Christian concept of original sin, how can a child—or even a newborn—be considered guilty of sin when they have yet to be taught what a sin is? The purpose of the ToRaH is to guide Israel in understanding what is acceptable and unacceptable to the God of Israel, leaving each individual to choose whether to obey or disobey.

This is why we always encourage everyone to start reading the Hebrew TaNaKh and understand it from the perspective of the Israelites, rather than through the lens of Western culture and Christianity. The Hebrew TaNaKh is a book about and for the Hebrew Israelites and their Mighty One, YaHuWaH, not about Christianity and its religious concepts. Here are several scriptures from the Hebrew TaNaKh that specifically mention individuals or groups sinning against the God of Israel:

  1. Exodus 32:31-33:

    • Moses speaking to YaHuWaH after the Golden Calf incident: "So Moses returned to YaHuWaH and said, 'Alas, this people has sinned a great sin. They have made for themselves gods of gold. But now, if you will forgive their sin, please do so; but if not, please blot me out of the book you have written.' But YaHuWaH said to Moses, 'Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book.'"

  2. Leviticus 4:27-28:

    • Regarding individual sin: "If any one of the common people sins unintentionally in doing any one of the things that by YaHuWaH's commandments ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt, or the sin which he has committed is made known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed."

  3. Deuteronomy 9:16:

    • Moses recounts the Golden Calf incident: "And I looked, and behold, you had sinned against YaHuWaH your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf; you had turned aside quickly from the way that YaHuWaH had commanded you."

  4. Joshua 7:11:

    • Regarding Achan's sin: "Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings."

  5. 1 Samuel 12:10:

    • Israelites confessing their sin: "And they cried out to YaHuWaH and said, 'We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord and have served the BaALs and the Ashtaroth. But now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, that we may serve you.'"

  6. 2 Samuel 12:13:

    • David's confession after his sin with Bathsheba: "David said to Nathan, 'I have sinned against YaHuWaH.' And Nathan said to David, 'YaHuWaH also has put away your sin; you shall not die.'"

  7. 1 Kings 8:33:

    • Solomon's prayer: "When your people Israel are defeated before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and if they turn again to you and acknowledge your name and pray and plead with you in this house."

  8. Ezra 9:6:

    • Ezra's prayer of confession: "O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to you, my God, for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has mounted up to the heavens."

  9. Nehemiah 1:6-7:

    • Nehemiah's prayer: "Let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even I and my father's house have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules that you commanded your servant Moses."

  10. Isaiah 59:12-13:

    • Confession of sin: "For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities: transgressing, and denying YaHuWaH, and turning back from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words."

These scriptures illustrate various instances and acknowledgments of sin against the God of Israel YaHuWaH, throughout the Hebrew Bible. While the Hebrew TaNaKh underscores individual moral responsibility, Christianity, building on Pauline theology, introduces the concept of original sin, asserting that all humans inherit a sinful nature and thus are born into sin, due to Adam's transgression. The Hebrew ToRaH teaches that the God of Israel is unchanging and that no one has the authority to add or remove from the ToRaH. The Christian “born into sin” concept is never supported by the Hebrew TaNaKh and has been added to persuade people that they cannot change without the mediation of the New Testament messiah.

The Hebrew Bible on Individual Responsibility for Sin:

Consider this example: if a wife is cheating on her husband but decides to stop, she is no longer a cheater because her actions have changed. However, if she continues to cheat, she remains a cheater, as her ongoing behavior earns her that title. Similarly, in the Hebrew TaNaKh, sin is defined by one's actions—if a person ceases to transgress YaHuWaH's commandments, they are no longer considered a sinner. But if they persist in breaking the commandments, they retain the label of a sinner due to their continued actions.

Here's another example: The God of Israel commands that no other gods be worshipped before Him (Exodus 20:3). If a person continues to worship a mediator or intermediary (ex. Jesus, YaHaWaShi, YaGuWShuWA, YeShuWA, etc.), they are sinning by breaking this commandment. However, if they stop worshipping the intermediary and turn solely to YaHuWaH, they are no longer sinning, as they have ceased the transgression and realigned with His commandments. The Hebrew Bible explicitly teaches that sin is not inherited. Each individual is accountable for their own actions and relationship with YaHuWaH. Key passages emphasize this principle:

  1. Ezekiel 18:20

    "The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself."

    This verse clearly establishes that sin and its consequences are not transferable between generations. Each person is judged based on their own actions.

  2. Deuteronomy 24:16

    "Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for their own sin."

    This reinforces the principle of individual accountability, opposing the idea of inherited guilt or punishment.

  3. Jeremiah 31:29-30

    "In those days they shall no longer say: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’ But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge."

    This passage dismisses the idea that children bear the consequences of their parent's sins, affirming personal responsibility for one's own actions.

Contrasting with the Doctrine of Original Sin:

The Christian doctrine of original sin teaches that all humanity inherits the sin of Adam and Eve. This concept directly contradicts the teachings of the Hebrew TaNaKh, which emphasizes:

  1. No Inherited Sin: Sin is not passed down from one generation to another.

  2. Born Without Sin: Individuals are born morally neutral and only become sinners when they consciously transgress YaHuWaH's commandments.

  3. Accountability and Redemption: Each person is judged and can seek forgiveness based on their own actions, not those of their ancestors.


Implications of the Hebrew View:

  • No Universal Condemnation at Birth: Since sin is not inherited, there is no concept of being born inherently sinful.

  • Direct Relationship with YaHuWaH: Redemption and forgiveness are available directly through repentance, without the need for an intermediary savior.

  • Empowerment for Righteous Living: The Hebrew TaNaKh encourages individuals to live righteously and turn from sin, affirming that righteousness is within their control.

The Hebrew Bible’s teachings on individual accountability and the non-transferability of sin challenge the foundational Christian doctrine of original sin. According to the Hebrew Scriptures, one is not born a sinner, but rather becomes one by choosing to transgress the commandments of YaHuWaH. This underscores the Hebrew perspective that salvation lies in repentance and obedience, not in inherited guilt or an external savior.

PROPHECY AND INTERPRETATION

proph·​e·​cy H5026 NaBuWAH

A specific and genuine future prediction delivered by a chosen prophet, who speaks not his own words, but a message divinely received.

The core debate between Christians, most New Testament believers, and the Hebrew Bible centers on the question of prophecy. Christians and New Testament believers claim that the New Testament fulfills the prophecies of the Hebrew TaNaKh (also known as the Old Testament). However, given that there are 45,000 denominations of Christianity worldwide and 200+ in the U.S. alone, this demonstrates that Christians and New Testament believers interpret or explain away any verse of scripture in the Hebrew TaNaKh that conflicts with Christian theology and or New Testament beliefs.

It's well-known that Christianity and New Testament believers regard the Hebrew ToRaH as the sacred, inspired, and unchanging word of the God of Israel. It is also no secret that Christians and New Testament believers agree that the Hebrew prophets in the TaNaKh chosen by the God of Israel were given divinely inspired messages to give to Israel. The sole purpose of a chosen prophet was to be a spokesman for YaHuWaH (the God of Israel) give divinely inspired messages to the Nation of Israel (not Christians), and encourage them to follow the ToRaH.

Christianity is rooted in the belief that key concepts and prophecies given to Israel in the Hebrew TaNaKh by chosen prophets are true and foundational. It’s surprising how many Christians recognize that their faith relies on the truth of the Hebrew TaNaKh, yet dismiss or express frustration with what they call “Hebrew nonsense”. Below is a list of scholarly resources and peer-reviewed articles that explore how Christianity is rooted in the teachings and concepts of the Hebrew ToRaH:

  1. "The Jewish Context of Jesus' Teachings" by Amy-Jill Levine

    • This book explores how the teachings of Jesus, as recorded in the New Testament, are deeply rooted in Jewish law and tradition, including concepts from the Hebrew ToRaH.

  2. "Paul and the Torah" by Lloyd Gaston

    • This scholarly work examines the Apostle Paul's relationship with the ToRaH and how his writings in the New Testament reflect and reinterpret ToRaH concepts within the framework of early Christianity.

  3. "The Origins of Christianity and the Quest for the Historical Jesus" by John Dominic Crossan

    • Crossan’s research delves into the historical and theological foundations of Christianity, highlighting the influence of Jewish teachings and the Hebrew ToRaH on the formation of Christian doctrine.

  4. "The Torah in the New Testament: Papers Delivered at the Manchester-Lausanne Seminar of June 2006" edited by Michael Tait and Peter Oakes

    • This collection of scholarly papers explores various aspects of how the New Testament writers engaged with and interpreted the ToRaH, shaping early Christian thought and practice.

  5. "Jesus and the Torah" by Markus Bockmuehl

    • This article examines the relationship between Jesus' teachings and the ToRaH, arguing that many core elements of Christianity are directly derived from Jewish legal and ethical traditions.

  6. "The Influence of the Hebrew Bible on Early Christian Writings" by Richard B. Hays

    • Hays’ work investigates how early Christian writings were influenced by the Hebrew Bible, particularly the ToRaH, and how these influences shaped the development of Christian theology.

These resources provide a comprehensive look at the deep connections between Christianity and the Hebrew ToRaH, demonstrating how foundational concepts of the Hebrew lifestyle were incorporated and reinterpreted (to give a new or different interpretation) in the formation of Christian doctrine. Christian scholars and New Testament believers widely agree that various scriptures in the TaNaKh are prophetic, as their faith ultimately depends on it. Let’s take a look at a few:

Zechariah 8:23

23 Thus saith YaHuWaH of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

This verse from the Hebrew TaNaKh is well-known and widely accepted by Christian scholars and New Testament believers as prophetic. It presents a prophecy of a future time when the world will turn to a Jew H3064 YaHuWDiY, from the root word H3063 Judah/YaHuWDaH, meaning “YaHuWaH be praised”. According to the verse, people will recognize that the God of Israel, YaHuWaH, is with them. It does not say that the God of Israel is with Christians, Muslims, Hindus, or Buddhists.

Nor does it suggest that people from these groups or any other nations will come to a Christian; instead, it explicitly states that people will come to the Hebrews. As Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, "There is nothing new under the sun," and indeed, people have and will always choose to interpret any verse in the Hebrew TaNaKh or the Christian New Testament in ways that suit their beliefs. New Testament believers often find ways to interpret verses like this, which clearly highlight Israel as the chosen people, in a manner that aligns with their theology. Hence, the 45,000 denominations of Christianity worldwide, and 250 in the United States.

However, if they do choose to change the verse and add a New Testament intermediary as a way to justify Christianity, this would be a sin which is to break a commandment (DaBaRiYM 4:2, 12:32, “Deuteronomy” and MaShaL 30:5-6 “Proverbs”). This scripture is a strong example of a prophetic verse that challenges the idea that Christians or New Testament believers are the new chosen people of the God of Israel. However, again New Testament believers will typically find a way to reinterpret such verses in ways that suit their beliefs. Let's consider another scripture from the Hebrew TaNaKh:

Jeremiah 16:19

19 O YaHuWaH, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

This verse from the Hebrew TaNaKh is well-known and widely accepted by Christian scholars and New Testament believers as prophetic. This verse explicitly refers to Gentiles (H1471 GuWiYM: a non-Hebrew, one who does not worship the God of Israel alone), leaving no room for New Testament believers to claim that it might be speaking about a subset of the Hebrew community. Jeremiah’s message was directed at the people of Israel, who have been known as Hebrews, Israelites, and later Jews throughout different historical periods—same group, different names, and different times. Today, they are called Jews, and their religion, known as Judaism, has evolved from the original Hebrew practices in the ToRaH. This evolution includes the incorporation of the Talmud, a central text of Rabbinic Judaism that interprets and expands upon the laws, and teachings and adds various traditions not found in the ToRaH.

When it says, "shall come to you from the ends of the Earth," it clearly means that the Gentiles, non-Hebrews, or those who do not serve YaHuWaH alone, will come to the Hebrews. The Gentiles will then acknowledge that their ancestors inherited lies and beliefs that were empty and profitless. We are witnessing this today as we are in the information and technology age, and many Christians now have access to facts, and evidence. Christians are starting to conduct their own research, questioning their pastors, and uncovering the numerous errors and falsehoods within the Christian religion. Just these two verses of prophetic scripture in the Hebrew TaNaKh alone (and there are several more) powerfully indicate that Christianity is simply wrong, why? Because it does not say that the Gentiles will come to Christians, Muslims, Hindus, or Buddhists. Again, in Hebrew, the word Gentiles (GuWiYM) is an all-encompassing term for anyone who is not Hebrew, worships intermediaries/idols (anyone or anything that acts as a link between people and the Creator), and does not serve the God of Israel, YaHuWaH alone.

Isaiah 42:8

8 I am יהוה (YaHuWaH): that is my name: and my glory WILL I NOT give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

APOSTLE PAUL:

Saint Paul or Saul of Tarsus

“Salvation comes through faith and or belief in Jesus Christ rather than obedience to the Hebrew ToRaH.”

So when Christians or New Testament believers use 2 Timothy 3:16-17 to justify correcting you with New Testament scriptures, remember that this passage is actually encouraging them to study and understand what the Hebrew TaNaKh teaches regarding teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training. Simply put, they must use scriptures from the Hebrew ToRaH to correct you, not New Testament verses.

2 Timothy 2:15

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

In this verse, Paul is instructing Timothy to be diligent and to strive to be an approved servant of God. He emphasizes the importance of correctly handling or "rightly dividing" the word of truth, which means accurately interpreting and teaching the scriptures. The phrase "rightly dividing the word of truth" comes from the Greek term "ὀρθοτομοῦντα" (orthotomounta), which means to "cut straight" or "handle correctly." It suggests precise and accurate handling of the word. “A workman that needeth not to be ashamed" suggests that Timothy, in his role as a teacher, should be competent and confident in what he is teaching. This involves:

  1. Skill and Knowledge: Mastery of the scriptures, ensuring that his message to the people are accurate and well-founded on truth.

  2. Integrity: Conducting himself in a manner that is honorable and reflects the values of his commitment to the God of Israel.

  3. Effectiveness: Successfully conveying the instructions of the scriptures.

To be unashamed means that Timothy's work withstands all scrutiny and that he has no reason to feel embarrassed or inadequate. This is achieved through:

  • Thorough Preparation: Engaging deeply with the scriptures and understanding their meanings.

  • Faithful Teaching: Ensuring that the teachings align with the truth of the scriptures and are not misleading or erroneous.

  • Lifestyle: Demonstrating a lifestyle that reflects the teachings he shares, which serves as a model for others.

Reference to the Hebrew Scriptures (ToRaH)

Since the Christian New Testament was not written until 300 to 350 years after the Apostle Paul's death, in 2 Timothy 2:15, "the word of truth" that Paul was referring to was the truth of the God of Israel found in Hebrew TaNaKh, which includes the ToRaH. The ToRaH is what Christians call the first five books of the Old Testament and, fully trust that it is the unchanging and sacred word of the God of Israel. The Christian New Testament, as we know it, was not yet compiled or canonized during Paul's lifetime. Therefore, the scriptures available to Paul and Timothy were only the Hebrew TaNaKh.

Importance of the Torah

The ToRaH was considered the foundational text for the Christian religion, and it was essential for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness which Paul knew (2 Timothy 3:16). Paul, being a Pharisee by training and knowledgeable in the Hebrew TaNaKh, would have viewed these texts as the authoritative word of the God of Israel, YaHuWaH.

Accurate Interpretation and Teaching

"Rightly dividing the word of truth" involves interpreting the Hebrew TaNaKh accurately. This means:

  1. Understanding Context: Recognizing the historical, cultural, and literary context of the passages.

  2. Integrity: Maintaining the Hebrew perspective of the teachings throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.

  3. Practical Application: Applying the ToRaH’s teachings to the lives of the Israelites.

Paul's emphasis on rightly handling the word of truth underscores the responsibility of teachers and preachers to be faithful to the original meaning and intent of the Hebrew scriptures. This was critical for early Christians, as they were grounding their religious identity, traditions, and beliefs on Hebrew concepts, and prophecies, which they claim their New Testament fulfills. In summary, when Paul instructed Timothy to "rightly divide the word of truth," he was urging him to accurately study and teach the concepts of the Hebrew TaNaKh.

Christian New Testament canonization

The formation of the Christian New Testament canon, as we recognize it today, occurred gradually over several centuries after the Apostle Paul. Here's a more detailed timeline:

  1. Paul's Lifetime and Letters (AD 50-67): Paul wrote his letters between approximately AD 50 and 67. These letters were circulated among early Christian communities and became some of the earliest Christian writings.

  2. Development of the Canon (2nd-4th centuries):

    • Early Collections (2nd century): Early Christians began collecting Paul's letters and other writings such as the Gospels and Acts. The Muratorian Fragment (late 2nd century) is an example of an early list of canonical books, though it differs somewhat from the later canon.

    • Council of Nicaea (AD 325): While this council did not specifically decide the New Testament canon, it reflects the period's theological consolidation and the increasing importance of establishing authoritative texts.

    • Festal Letter of Athanasius (AD 367): Bishop Athanasius of Alexandria provided a list of 27 books that match the New Testament canon as it is known today. This is one of the earliest known references to the complete New Testament canon.

    • Councils of Hippo (AD 393) and Carthage (AD 397): These councils in North Africa affirmed the same 27 books of the New Testament.

The New Testament canon was thus effectively established about 300 to 350 years after the Apostle Paul's death. The process was not instantaneous but involved gradual recognition and acceptance of these texts as authoritative. With that said, even Paul (who is highly praised by Christians and New Testament believers) encourages everyone to read and study the Hebrew TaNaKh and to rightly divide it (to "cut straight" or "handle correctly.") This means we must measure all thought processes and opinions against the instructions of the God of Israel, as found exclusively in the Hebrew ToRaH. If they do not align with the unchanging instructions and prophecies given by the God of Israel, be very cautious as to who you are following.

Summary of 2 Timothy 3:16-17:

In these verses, Paul writes that all Scripture is inspired by the God of Israel, YaHuWaH and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training, so that the servant of YaHuWaH may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Elaboration:

Once again, when Paul refers to "all Scripture" in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, he is specifically talking about the Hebrew TaNaKh, not the Christian New Testament. This is because the New Testament was not yet compiled or fully written at the time Paul wrote this letter. The Scriptures Paul knew and taught from were the ToRaH, the Prophets, and the Writings (the Hebrew Bible). Therefore, his reference to Scripture being divinely inspired and beneficial for instruction refers to the texts within the Hebrew Bible, which were the authoritative scriptures for the chosen Hebrews and were adopted by early Christians as the foundation of their faith.

So when Christians or New Testament believers use 2 Timothy 3:16-17 to justify correcting you with New Testament scriptures, remember that even Paul encourages them to study and understand what the Hebrew TaNaKh teaches regarding rebuking, correcting, and training. Simply put, Christians or New Testament believers must use scriptures from the Hebrew ToRaH to correct you, not New Testament verses.

CONTRADICTIONS

con·tra·dic·tion

a combination of statements, ideas, or features of a situation that are opposed to one another.

Are you applying the same level of scrutiny to the Hebrew ToRaH as you are to the Christian New Testament?

This question often emerges as one of the top queries when believers in the Christian New Testament become aware of apparent contradictions or discrepancies within their sacred text. While Christians assert their New Testament is without error in nature, encountering numerous contradictions prompts them to engage in damage control to rationalize these detrimental discrepancies. In contrast, obedient Israelites of the Hebrew ToRaH never claimed perfection but rather placed trust in YaHuWaH's ToRaH, requiring no defensive stance.

Christians claim their New Testament is flawlessness, divinely inspired, and is in fact a continuation and fulfillment of the Hebrew ToRaH. In contrast, both Christian and Hebrew scholars agree on the unchanging nature of the ToRaH, the first five books known as the Old Testament in Christianity. This sacred text is deemed the unwavering word of the God of Israel, even extending to YaHuWaH's chosen prophets as intended.

While the content of the Hebrew ToRaH remains consistent across ancient ToRaH scrolls, the exact number of letters/characters or glyphs may vary. Scribes in ancient times meticulously copied the text by hand, and subtle variations could occur due to factors such as handwriting style, spacing, or individual scribe practices. Christians exploit this by arguing the Hebrew ToRaH also has errors.

Reputable scholars agree that these minor variations in ancient ToRaH scrolls neither augment nor diminish the intended content and meaning of the text (DaBaRiYM 4:2, 12:32, “Deuteronomy” and MaShaL 30:5-6 “Proverbs”). While there may be differences in spelling, or grammar, the essential teachings and narratives remain consistent. The meticulous transmission and copying processes, along with the reverence attached to the sacredness of the text, have contributed to a high level of textual fidelity.

Modern scholars often use a variety of manuscripts and versions to reconstruct the most authentic representation of the original text, recognizing that the variations are insignificant in terms of impacting the core messages and beliefs conveyed in the Hebrew ToRaH by the Creator.

The idea that the words of the God of Israel YaHuWaH are righteous is a recurring theme throughout the Hebrew ToRaH. One specific reference can be found in Psalm 33:4. This verse expresses the righteousness and faithfulness of the word of YaHuWaH. It's important to note that the concept of YaHuWaH's words being righteous is a broader theme found throughout various books of the Hebrew ToRaH, and it's not limited to a single verse.

Isaiah 55:11 in the Hebrew ToRaH emphasizes the potency and reliability of YaHuWaH's word, stating that it will not return empty but will accomplish its intended purpose. According to the Hebrew ToRaH, Malachi 3:6 emphasizes the unchanging nature of YaHuWaH. The verse conveys the idea that the God of Israel remains steadfast and consistent, not subject to alteration or variation. This highlights the enduring and reliable character of the divine.

We all know that beliefs may shift from one day to the next, but placing trust in something involves a steadfast reliance grounded in its consistent past reliability. This is again why the obedient Hebrews trusted the ToRaH and their actions are based on the established unchanging words of the ToRaH.

If something has been established as an unchanging foundation, any new addition is considered a fabrication or an entity distinct from the original foundation. In the context of an unchanging foundation, the introduction of anything new is regarded as a separate creation or entity from the established base.

The premise here is rooted in an unchanging foundation that possesses completeness and perfection in its original state. Any addition, whether it be new principles, concepts, or elements, is seen as diverging from the original essence and is considered its own creation. This perspective prioritizes preserving the purity and integrity of the foundational concept, suggesting that alterations or additions may compromise the authenticity of the original idea. The emphasis is on maintaining the distinct identity and timeless nature of the established foundation.

The fact of the matter is that the Christian New Testament attempts to change the unchangeable authorship of YaHuWaH (the Hebrew ToRaH). As Christians claim that their New Testament fulfills the Hebrew ToRaH, the validation of the Christian New Testament requires reference to the Hebrew ToRaH. It's also essential to recognize that the ToRaH does not depend on the Christian New Testament for validation.

Wisdom and understanding are not entities that are created; instead, they are acquired through experience. True comprehension arises from validating diverse perspectives and contradictions, even those we may not personally endorse.

STRONG'S CONCORDANCE:

Brown-Driver-Briggs

The meaning of a word in Hebrew can often depend on its context within a sentence or passage.

The Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon, commonly referred to as the BDB, is a highly respected and widely used lexicon of Biblical Hebrew. It provides definitions and explanations of Hebrew words found in the Hebrew TaNaKk (aka Old Testament) along with their possible translations into English.

While the BDB is considered a valuable resource by many scholars and students of Hebrew, it's essential to recognize that no single lexicon or reference work is without its limitations. Some criticisms or perceived contradictions may arise due to factors such as:

  1. Interpretation: Lexicons like the BDB are based on the interpretation of ancient texts, and different scholars may have varying interpretations of certain words or passages.

  2. Language Evolution: Hebrew, like any language, has evolved over time, and meanings of words may have shifted or expanded since biblical times. The BDB attempts to capture the meanings of words as they were used in ancient Hebrew texts, but some words may have different connotations in modern Hebrew or may be understood differently by contemporary scholars.

  3. Contextual Considerations: The meaning of a word in Hebrew can often depend on its context within a sentence or passage. While the BDB provides definitions and possible translations, the context in which a word is used can sometimes lead to differing interpretations.

  4. Advancements in Scholarship: Since the publication of the BDB in the late 19th century, there have been advancements in biblical scholarship, archaeology, linguistics, and other fields that have contributed to our understanding of biblical Hebrew. While the BDB remains a valuable resource, some scholars may prefer more recent lexicons or consult multiple sources to gain a comprehensive understanding of a word or concept.

Overall, the Brown-Driver-Briggs lexicon is considered reliable and continues to be widely used by scholars and students of Hebrew. However, like any reference work, we will always encourage critical thinking and use this resource in conjunction with other sources to ensure a well-rounded understanding of biblical Hebrew.

CONDITIONED BY TRADITION:

 

CONDITIONED:

To train or influence a person or animal mentally so that they do or expect a particular thing without thinking about it.

 

We've all been influenced by tradition, and our upbringing often shapes our beliefs and actions, even when we don't fully comprehend them. Many children grow up admiring, respecting, and emulating their parents and elders. A child's blueprint for living varies significantly based on the culture, geographical location, and social status of their family. Traditions, customs, perspectives on different races, religions, and life lessons are all passed down from one generation to the next. Some cultures promote a more relaxed lifestyle, where accountability tends to diminish over generations. In contrast, others emphasize order and structure, instilling a sense of responsibility that endures across generations. These diverse ideologies form the bedrock of an individual's life, and over time, they become that person's truth.

However, as adults, there comes a point in everyone's life when they reflect on the many things they learned while growing up and start questioning the inconsistencies. Most people naturally prefer not to be misled, but because many choose to overlook misinformation (by turning a blind eye), falsehoods or half-truths become a person's truth. It doesn't require exceptional insight to recognize that Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, and the Easter Bunny are not real. However, when someone does expose these falsehoods, they may face ridicule, shame, or even workplace repercussions for merely speaking the truth. Unfortunately, this is the world we inhabit, and due to the emotional attachment people have to various childhood myths, these blatant untruths often go unchallenged (YaShAYaHuW 5:20 – Isaiah).

This unquestionably holds true when it comes to Christianity and religion as a whole, particularly based on monastic vows. Despite America being a predominantly Christian nation that proclaims its morals, beliefs, and trust in God (as seen in the motto 'In God We Trust'), it's essential to challenge the common belief that the majority of the Western world is genuinely worshipping the true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Because emotional comfort, the acceptance of lies and fables, and the uncritical embrace of passed-down pagan traditions of worship are so prevalent, most individuals are unaware that the Creator and the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob YaHuWaH HATES these forms of worship. Due to the perpetuation of the illusory truth effect by those who came before us, people persist in worshipping false prophets, congregating in places where the Creator does not reside, and holding created things (such as statues, false prophets or pastors, spouses, family, images, pagan holidays, and symbols) in higher esteem than the Creator’s instruction (DaBaRiYM 32:4 – Deuteronomy and ZaMaR 145:17 – Psalms).

It has been asserted by some Christians that it is acceptable to have images, idols, or symbols of worship, as long as they pertain to the LORD/ God (whom no one has seen, as stated in ShaMuWTh 33:20 – Exodus) or of the Christian New Testament's figure, Jesus (aka YeShuWA, YaHuWShuWA, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShA, etc.). However, this assertion is unsupported and has never been supported by the Creator's words in the Hebrew ToRaH, upon which the Christians claim is the bases of their New Testament. YaHuWaH (the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) explicitly instructs us not to adopt the worship practices of pagan nations and prohibits us from serving/praying to/worshipping ANY images or idols, regardless of their likeness, whether they be of animals, insects, males, or females. When asked to provide Hebrew scripture to substantiate their claim, none can be provided (ShaMuWTh 20:4-5 – Exodus, LuWiYM 26:1 – Leviticus, DaBaRiYM 28-34 – Deuteronomy, YaShAYaHuW 42:8, 44:15 – Isaiah)."

DaBaRiYM 4:16-20 "Deuteronomy" Hebrew ThaNaKh

Not only is it an undeniable FACT that NOWHERE in the original Hebrew ToRaH is this statement supported, but even the Westernized, English-translated Christian New Testament also opposes this ideology (Romans 11:4, Colossians 3:5, and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10). When Christians promote such non-scriptural claims, they not only engage in falsehoods and violate a commandment (ShaMuWTh 20:16 – Exodus and MaShaL 10:18, 12:22 – Proverbs), but they essentially assert that their words and opinions take precedence over the Creator's words.

This highlights the peril of spiritual complacency, personal interpretations and blindly adhering to the modern-day, widely accepted, hypocritical, and accommodating religious ideologies of Christianity. Just because 2.6 billion people in the world embrace a non-scriptural lifestyle doesn't mean it aligns with YaHuWaH's principles.

THE CREATORS TRUE NAME:

 

Exodus 3:15

15 Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, YaHuWaH of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

 

YaShAYaHuW 42:8 “Isaiah”

8 I am YaHuWaH (the Lord): that is my name: and my glory will I NOT give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

YaShAYaHuW 45:21-22 “Isaiah”

21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I YaHuWaH? and there is NO God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is NONE else.

It has been said by many (Christians included) that gods true name doesn’t matter and that you can call the Creator by ANY name you want just as long as you have a relationship with him. Others claim that the god of YiSRAL has many names and that the English-translated bibles are perfect and without error. Although the Creator YaHuWaH does have many TITLES (King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Lord of Hosts, Alpha, and the Omega, ABa/Father, the Most High, ALuWaH, AL-ShaDiY, ADuWNiY, ALuWHiYM, etc.), He only has ONE name.

Even non-die-hard Christians will agree that the Creator is unchanging, and the ToRaH states His words and commands are eternally pure. Nowhere in the Hebrew ToRaH did YaHuWaH state that He would take on human flesh, alter His name, and become an innocent human sacrifice and die on a cross to absolve the sins of His chosen people, Israel. It is clear in the Hebrew ToRaH that an innocent person, one without sin, cannot atone for the sins or wickedness of another, as YaHuWaH does not accept a ransom for the wicked (YaChaZaQAL 18:20-23 – Ezekiel, BaT DaBaR 25:4 – 2 Chronicles, DaBaRiYM 24:16 – Deuteronomy, BaT MaLaKiYM 14:6 – 2 Kings, MaShaL 6:16-19 – Proverbs, ZaMaR 49:7 – Psalms). The Hebrew ToRaH also explicitly condemns human sacrifice as an abomination in the eyes of YaHuWaH (YaRaMiYaHuW 19:4-6, 32:35 – Jeremiah, BaT MaLaKiYM 16:1-4 – 2 Kings, YaChaZaQAL 23:36-40 – Ezekiel, DaBaRiYM 18:9-12 – Deuteronomy, LuWiYM 18:21, 20:1-7 – Leviticus, ZaMaR 106:34-41 – Psalms, and MaShaL 6:16-19 – Proverbs).

This not only refutes the individual's opinion mentioned above but also underscores that the Christian New Testament messiah narrative directly contradicts the very commands of YaHuWaH. The notion of an innocent human sacrifice aligns precisely with what the Christian New Testament writers claim their messiah, known as Jesus, YeShuWA, YaHuWShuWA, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShA, and others, did.

This line of thinking amounts to idol worship and was a recurring reason for Israel's repeated captivities/punishments (ShaMuWTh 20:3-5, 34:14 – Exodus, and YaShAYaHuW 45:5 – Isaiah). This widely accepted narrative implies that the Creator is dishonest and inconsistent, rendering His word and commands insignificant. Regarding Israel needing a so-called savior, although YaHuWaH forgave them (MaSPaR 14:16-35 “Numbers”) the Israelites still had to deal with their punishment. The Hebrew ToRaH unequivocally instructs us that Israel's consequence for their persistent complaints and idol worship (following their deliverance/rescue/saving from Egypt) was to wander in the wilderness for 40 years.

Concerning salvation, this pertains to their final deliverance from captivity (in America “the Atlantic slave trade”) when YaHuWaH scattered Israel to the four corners of the earth due to continued idol worship mentioned in DaBaRiYM 28:64-86 – Deuteronomy). Therefore, if YaHuWaH had already forgiven His anointed firstborn for that sin, it means that Israel NEVER needed a Christian New Testament savior to die on a pagan cross. However, being delivered from captivity is an act that only YaHuWaH ALONE can accomplish (YaShAYaHuW 45:17-19 – Isaiah, YuWAL 3 – Joel, and YaChaZaQAL 20:33-49 – Ezekiel).

 
 

Exodus 3:15 KJV

15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is MY NAME FOREVER, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

ShaMuWTh 3:15 “Exodus” Hebrew ToRaH

Since we know ALL English-translated bibles are of Hebrew origin, let’s take a look at the Hebrew so we get the proper context from their perspective. Here in the Hebrew, we read the Creator YaHuWaH boldly states that His name is AuWLaM (לעלם H5769 forever, time indefinite) and is an appellation (an identifying name) for ALL eternity. When using the Hebrew Bible we are given a “c” next to the word “LORD” for further insight. What we find is that the Hebrew letters יהוה are YHWH when unbiasedly translated.

When you make time to understand where the Hebrews got their language from (the Semitic Phoenicians) you can overstand their vernacular. Once you add in the proper original Hebrew vowels (NOT modern, Lashawan Qadash, Greek, or Yiddish) you get YaHuWaH (NOT YaHWeH which is “Greek” and is a hypothetical reconstruction of the tetragrammaton יהוה / YHWH).

OLD LION VS MODREN DAY KITTENS:

Many men who profess to follow the teachings of the Bible acknowledge that they are considered the head of their household, as emphasized in YaHuWShuWA 24:14-15 (Joshua). However, it is crucial to clarify that this role doesn't grant them permission to govern their homes as tyrants, wielding an iron fist or engaging in disrespectful or abusive behavior—whether mentally or sexually—towards their spouses and children. This distinction is particularly evident in the Hebrew culture, in contrast to certain practices in Roman and Greek cultures. The Hebrew ToRaH does not depict or endorse Israelites beating their wives. In fact, the ToRaH promotes principles of justice, compassion, and ethical behavior within the context of family life. The ToRaH provides laws and guidelines concerning various aspects of interpersonal relationships, including family dynamics, and it condemns actions that cause harm or injustice. YaHuWaH established order and a harmonious hierarchy within families when the ToRaH was followed. As a result instances of abusive relationships or irresponsible father figures among the Hebrews are non-existent.

The absence of such narratives is rooted in the teachings of the ToRaH and the upbringing of Hebrew men. They were instructed to treat their wives, acknowledged as QaDaSh (set apart), and virtuous Hebrew women with respect, while responsibly managing their households. However, due to the influence of Christianity, which often presents an altered version of the original Hebrew culture, some Western men deviate from these traditional values.

Nevertheless, contemporary women often expect to maintain that standard of living without engaging in the traditional roles designated for them by YaHuWaH, who specifically created them to be their male counterparts ' help. The pursuit of traditional men by modern women coincides with the diminishing presence of the traditional woman. This shift is influenced by Western perspectives and the widespread compromise of authentic Hebraic standards, resulting in many men losing, if not entirely forfeiting, their ability to guide a woman according to the Hebrew ToRaH.

In the current landscape, women frequently surpass men in scriptural knowledge. Paradoxically, this leads to situations where women end up teaching or even correcting men using the Bible. Unfortunately, contemporary men are not often encouraged to delve into the Hebrew ToRaH (the Creator’s specific instructions to those who want to be His people). Consequently, they unknowingly adhere to the accepted yet extremely distorted blueprint of the Roman/Christian New Testament.

Owing to Roman influences, many Western men unwittingly find themselves excessively praising and almost worshiping their wives or women in general. While expressing admiration and love is natural and acceptable, some men go to great lengths, publicly posting on social media with sayings designed to garner widespread reactions ("she is my lifeline" or "she takes my breath away," etc.). This behavior often stems from an underlying insecurity, seeking validation from the public perspective.

Despite the claim that men are the kings of their castles and run their homes, many hesitate to inform their spouses that they no longer wish to partake in pagan holidays. The fear of causing tension within the family, including with their spouse and children, often leads to neglecting the YaHuWaH-given responsibility to lead the home and guide their children in the ways of YaHuWaH’s ToRaH, irrespective of societal norms. This vital commandment is emphasized in various scriptures, including BaRAShiYTh 18:19 (Genesis), YaShAYaHuW 54:13 (Isaiah), DaBaRiYM 5:29, 6:4-9 (Deuteronomy), MaShaL 1:8-9, 19:18, 22:6-15, 23:13-14, 29:15-17 (Proverbs), and AMuWS 2:11 (Amos).

Christianity, intentionally or unintentionally, diminishes the role of men and promotes women to the position of "head of the household." Rooted in pagan traditions, particularly Roman tradition, this elevation or worship of women is embedded in Christian practices. Common Christian expressions such as "men are the head, but the woman is the neck" contribute to emasculating men and diverting them from their given purpose according to YaHuWaH.

Under the influence of Christianity, husbands often fear relinquishing pagan customs disapproved by the Creator to maintain harmony within their families ("happy wife, happy life," "happy spouse, happy house"), a mindset absent among the Hebrews in ToRaH. The Hebrew lifestyle adheres to YaHuWaH's order, and failure by men to lead or correct their households according to divine guidance can inadvertently lead to idol worship, as outlined in ShaMuWTh 20:3-5 (Exodus) and DaBaRiYM 4:16 (Deuteronomy). While expressing love and bringing joy to one's helpmeet and children is commendable and pleasing to YaHuWaH, prioritizing others' feelings over obedience to YaHuWaH's commandments raises concerns in the eyes of the Creator.

In Hosea 4, the Hebrew Torah underscores Yahweh's displeasure with the appointed leaders and priests who failed to uphold and defend the ToRaH, consequently leading the people astray. Israel was ensnared in various transgressions such as swearing, lying, killing, stealing, and committing adultery. Fast forward to the present day, the moral decline of children and their departure from YaHuWaH's ToRaH persist due to the failure of household leaders, particularly men.

Contrary to the prevailing belief in Western culture that women are entirely equal to men, the Hebrew culture, which forms the origins of the Christian New Testament, embraced a perspective where men and women respected and honored YaHuWaH's order and purpose for each other. A clear example of this order is YaHuWaH's establishment that women would naturally long for, reach out towards, and yearn for the husband who is designated to rule over her, as outlined in BaRAShiYTh 3:16 (Genesis).

Even when considering physical evidence, aligning with scientific observations that affirm the reality of YaHuWaH's creations, it is evident that the female body significantly differs from the male body. Without the use of synthetic drugs or enhancements, a woman's hormones, reproductive system, muscle, and bone mass naturally vary from those of a man, illustrating the intentional design for distinct purposes. Notably, women were not created from the dust like ADaM but were birthed from ADaM’s body or womb, thus earning the term "womb-man" or “woman” (from the womb of man). Additionally, ToRaH records that the help meet (AZaR, H5828) was fashioned after the animals, emphasizing a deliberate order (BaRAShiYTh 2:18-25, Genesis).

It's important to note that acknowledging these differences is not a denigration of women; rather, it underscores that YaHuWaH established a beautiful order, purpose, and hierarchy. QaDaSh (set apart) Hebrew women understood and embraced their YaHuWaH-given roles, thriving in them, recognizing the significance of these roles in the eyes of the Creator.

A woman who genuinely loves YaHuWaH comprehends that her wisdom and obedience in her role hold great value in the eyes of the Creator. This distinctive quality is why women from pagan nations were envious of Hebrew women. Scripture notes the rarity of finding a capable and virtuous (ChiYaL, H2428) woman of YaHuWaH. All women are capable of being a wife, good cooks, financially stable individuals, caregivers, homemakers, and capable of satisfying or influencing men sexually. Yet, if a man remains impervious to manipulation through sex or materialism, it implies that the woman must contribute something of genuine value to the relationship (MaShaL 19:14, Proverbs).

A woman characterized by wise counsel (BaRAShiYTh 21:12, Genesis), self-control, virtuous living, and a profound love for YaHuWaH surpasses the allure of social status, homes, sensual pleasures, and worldly riches. MaShaL 18:22 (Proverbs) counsels that a QaDaSh woman who loves, fears, and obeys YaHuWaH's commandments is indeed praiseworthy and deserving of celebration (HaLaL, H1984). This sets the standard distinguishing a woman from the QaDaSh virtuous woman of YaHuWaH.

According to the Hebrew ToRaH, finding such a good, capable, and qualified virtuous woman is evidence that a man has found favor (RaTsuWN, H7522) with YaHuWaH. In contrast to Christian perspectives, discovering "Favor" for a woman doesn't imply she is a direct gift, a blessing, or divinely ordained by YaHuWaH. Instead, it signifies that uniting with a virtuous woman who follows the ToRaH brings pleasure, delight, favor, and acceptance to YaHuWaH. In the context of Hebrew tradition, men in ancient times were encouraged to seek out women who feared YaHuWaH and follow the ToRaH. Hence, YaHuWaH finds pleasure when a man discovers a wife who aligns with these principles.


MaShaL 18:22 “Proverbs” Hebrew ToRaH

MaShaL 31:31 “Proverbs” Hebrew ToRaH

How many women adhere to a QaDaSh (set apart) lifestyle, embodying humble obedience solely unto YaHuWaH in their designated role as a helpmeet (MaShaL 31:10-31, Proverbs)? How many actively encourage, support, and assist their husbands in living a lifestyle unto YaHuWaH, as opposed to endorsing customs that go against these principles? Contrary to popular American beliefs, these virtuous attributes are not weaknesses; they are, in fact, strengths. Regrettably, such values are often foreign to women in Western culture. It is undeniably easier to succumb to the socially accepted portrayal of the "modern woman," but taking a stand for the core values of YaHuWaH requires resilience.

Repeatedly, the spirit of Eve manifests itself in Western women, even among those professing Christianity, religion, or spirituality. Wives often hastily resort to disrespect, emasculation, confrontations, belittling, cursing, and even physical altercations against their husbands, who hold a YaHuWaH-given role (MaShaL 31:11-12, Proverbs). Such actions contradict the purpose of a QaDaSh and virtuous woman, inevitably causing distress to the Creator. As mentioned earlier, these accepted behaviors persist due to the unfortunate extinction or scarcity of virtuous women. The examples that many young and adult women aspire to in the West are often not aligned with YaHuWaH's intended design.

Contrary to popular belief, Christianity has a tendency to undermine the assertiveness of men, leading them to relinquish their leadership. It is no surprise, then, that women often find themselves compelled to step up and take control of the home. This is not an attempt to justify their actions; rather, it highlights a prevalent issue in America where many men, particularly in the context of marriage, have lost their assertiveness. This loss can be attributed to the unwitting adherence to a highly modified, non-YaHuWaH, Westernized, Babylonian, Roman/Christian blueprint for life and marriage, as influenced by historical events such as the The Council of Trent. It is essential to clarify that marriages outside of YaHuWaH's blueprint may still find success independently, but these relationships are unlikely to align with YaHuWaH's original intentions (Decree On The Reformation Of Marriage Chapter I.).

The story of the Hebrew patriarch Abraham (ABRaM) is well-known, illustrating him as a model father figure in scripture. What many seem to forget is that ABRaM's obedience to YaHuWaH, instructing his children and his household in the ways of YaHuWaH (and not adhering to pagan customs of worship), resulted in the fulfillment of YaHuWaH's promise, making ABRaM's descendants a great nation (BaRAShiYTh 17:1-7, Genesis). The Hebrew ToRaH, specifically in the Book of YaHuWShuWA 24:2 (Joshua), mentions that Abraham's father, Terah, and his family served other gods beyond the Euphrates River in the land of Ur. The Hebrew ToRaH educates us that Abraham's family were idol worshippers, however, Abraham chose to leave that pagan lifestyle for the obedience of YaHuWaH.

BaRAShiYTh 18:19 “Genesis” KJV

19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of YaHuWaH, to do justice and judgment; that YaHuWaH may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

BaRAShiYTh 18:18-19 “Genesis” Hebrew ToRaH

In navigating life's complexities, it is paramount for men to be guided by the principles of the Hebrew ToRaH rather than succumbing to mere physical desires, internal voices, or fleeting dreams, especially if these things do not align with the ToRaH (Jeremiah 23:32, 29:8-9). In the Hebrew Torah, there are instances where individuals receive communication from YaHuWaH through dreams, however, these people were all chosen by YaHuWaH to play a significant role (Joseph and Pharaoh in the Book of Genesis). The Creator is no longer choosing biblical prophets in modern times or guiding people by way of dreams. He already established everything through his chosen prophets in the Hebrew ToRaH.

Hosea 12:10

10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.

Amos 3:7

7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Isaiah 45:19

19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

This emphasis stems from the profound understanding that the Creator, the God of Israel, YaHuWaH, respects and upholds the sanctity and His gift of "Free Will" (the ability of an individual to make choices or decisions independently and autonomously, unconstrained by external forces, fate, or determinism). Earnest pleas and engaging in prayer requests for a life partner are often influenced by the misguided "Name it and Claim it" doctrine within certain Christian teachings. The notion of seeking a spouse through divine intervention or fasting raises ethical questions, as it implies the Creator must override a person’s "Free Will". Similarly, praying for divine intervention to prevent a divorce entails a complex ethical dilemma, as it involves potentially infringing upon the spouse's "Free Will" to decide whether to reconcile or proceed with the separation.

The perplexity arises when couples, who believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Creator bestowed their spouse upon them, encounter marital discord, separation, or divorce, seemingly suggesting the Creator made a divine error (Psalms 19:7, 18:30 and Numbers 23:19). Against popular Western belief, YaHuWaH is not manipulating, pulling strings or being a matchmaker in one's life. If this were true then in theory every relationship that a person believed that the God of Israel or a god put them together would never end in divorce. Recent surveys and studies suggest that approximately 20 to 25 percent of Christian marriages end in divorce. Furthermore, other studies suggest that the divorce rate among Christians may not significantly differ from that of non-Christians. If the Creator put these relationships together, why are they failing, think!

The ToRaH teaches that YaHuWaH, grants free will, enabling people to choose their paths, thereby testing their dedication to obeying His instructions outlined in the Hebrew ToRaH (Deuteronomy 30:19). In recognizing the profound weight of these choices in life and in relationships, we acknowledge that our outcomes are inherently linked to the paths and choices we choose. Emotional sayings in Christianity, such as "Trust the process, God got you," may not yield fruitful results if that process revolves solely around personal desires and preferences, rather than aligning with obedience to YaHuWaH's ToRaH. There is only one tried and true process when it comes to the God of Israel, and that is obeying His ToRaH. Any other course of action may lead to heartache and disappointment.

Psalm 25:4-6 conveys King David’s earnest plea for guidance and instruction from the God of Israel. The verses emphasize the importance of seeking YaHuWaH's path or process rather than relying on our own understanding or desires. The psalmist acknowledges the need to be led in truth and righteousness according to YaHuWaH's ToRaH, not our own. Additionally, there is recognition of YaHuWaH's mercy and steadfast love, underscoring the necessity of aligning with His will rather than imposing our own. Overall, these verses emphasize humility, dependence on YaHuWaH, and the importance of submitting to His divine guidance rather than insisting on our own way, or the way of those who oppose the Creator’s ToRaH.

Life's ongoing lessons reveal a striking reality: individuals who do not serve YaHuWaH or any deity often experience marriages that flourish even beyond the success of Christian unions or those who attribute their marital bliss to a divine blessing or intervention. This fact underscores that a marriage or relationship thrives only when both individuals wholeheartedly invest in each other, listen attentively, communicate openly to comprehend each other's perspectives and upbringing, and collaborate to navigate life together without seeking to manipulate each other.

When it comes to relationships and marriage, the important lesson is to be patient and search for a spouse who is willing to adjust their lifestyle in devotion to the God of Israel and His ToRaH, rather than just for your benefit. When you do, all the rest will follow.

WESTERN HOLIDAYS

Jeremiah 10:3-4

For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

traditions of men

It is no secret that America and its Constitution are built on Christian values. Early American settlers were influenced by Christian ethics, and Christian thought has shaped aspects of American culture and law. When assessing whether Christians should participate in popular Western holidays like Halloween, opinions vary widely, as there are over 200 denominations in the U.S. and a staggering 45,000 worldwide. This demonstrates that Christianity often depends on perspective, personal interpretation, and what individuals accept as “their truth.” However, many Christian denominations in the modern era are changing their views opposing Halloween due to its associations with pagan customs, and superstitions, and its focus on embracing death, immorality, and glorifying evil.


The Impact of Violent Halloween Imagery

Encouraging immorality and desensitization to violence and suffering conflicts with what many consider to be core American values, such as respect for life, family, and community well-being. The nation was founded on ideals of freedom and responsibility, and promoting activities or themes that glamorize immoral behavior can erode these principles. For instance, when pranks or decorations trivialize assault or murder, it undermines the moral fabric that upholds the sanctity of life, justice, and the protection of others.

Halloween decorations, especially those that mimic violence, bloodshed, or horror, can cause significant concerns in today's climate, especially with rising crime rates such as kidnapping, human sex trafficking, and violent assaults. When people prioritize their desire to celebrate Halloween in extravagant or shocking ways—like applying bloody decals or similar gory decorations—they risk normalizing violence and desensitizing themselves and others to real-world issues. Decorations such as dismembered limbs on lawns, or bodies hanging from trees may be seen as distasteful in a society where violent crimes, including murders and assaults, are a daily reality.

 
 

In light of rising crimes such as human trafficking, rape, and other violent acts, there’s an increasing responsibility to remain vigilant and conscious of the messages being sent through cultural events like Halloween. Normalizing violence or promoting fear and immorality runs counter to the American vision of a just and safe society, which ideally seeks to protect its citizens and foster an environment where people can feel secure.

In a multicultural nation like America, where people from diverse backgrounds and experiences come together, Halloween celebrations with violent or disturbing themes can have a broader impact. America is a melting pot of cultures, and many people come seeking a new life of safety and freedom from the very horrors Halloween sometimes trivializes, such as violence, kidnapping, and exploitation. For these individuals and families, especially those who have survived traumatic events in their home countries, seeing decorations or pranks that mimic crime scenes, dismembered bodies, or bloody handprints can be deeply distressing or triggering. While Halloween is presented as a harmless Western holiday, its darker aspects can inadvertently hurt and re-traumatize those who have come to America to escape violence and immorality.

Law enforcement officers and departments report an increase in crime, including theft and vandalism, during Halloween, in part due to the anonymity costumes provide. Masks, face paint, and other disguises associated with the holiday can make it harder for police to identify suspects, which can facilitate criminal activity. These observations underscore the social and cultural factors associated with Halloween that can contribute to crime increases on the holiday.


Halloween: A Clash with American Values

Factually, Halloween’s ancient Celtic festival of Samhain origin marks the end of the harvest season and involves beliefs about the dead crossing over into the world of the living. Despite the efforts of modern churches to "Christianize" Halloween through alternatives like trunk-or-treat events, Hallelujah Nights, harvest festivals, Bible-themed costume gatherings, or even Christian-themed haunted houses, these practices still occur on a day historically linked to spiritual and supernatural themes that conflict with New Testament values of light and righteousness.

Traditional Christians believe that participating in Halloween, with its links to these pagan practices, is incompatible with the teachings of Jesus, who calls for believers to avoid engaging in evil and perpetuating idolatrous traditions (John 8:12, Ephesians 5:11, and 1 Thessalonians 5:22). A well-known Christian phrase in Western culture is “WWJD” (What Would Jesus Do?). The saying is intended to encourage Christians to consider how Jesus would respond in various situations. If you identify as a Christian committed to following his teachings in the New Testament, it seems unlikely that He would engage in Halloween celebrations, especially given its historical associations with darkness, fear, human and animal sacrifices, and pagan rituals.

With that said, it would be safe to say that, Christians who follow Jesus’ example and teachings, should avoid celebrating Halloween, especially if it involves elements that contradict their faith, such as fear, occult symbolism, or glorification of death. For many Christians, abstaining from Halloween aligns with their commitment to living according to biblical principles.

For American Christians who take these teachings seriously, engaging in Halloween could be seen as conflicting with their values, especially if the celebration involves things associated with fear, occult symbolism, glorifying evil spirits, and death. Many would conclude that participating in Halloween does not align with Christian teachings to avoid "evil" traditions or practices that detract from a life of faith.

The research:

Did you know that the foundational text of the Hebrew TaNaKh (also known as the Old Testament)—which Christians regard as the basis for their religion and their New Testament claims—contains no directive from YaHuWaH, the God of Israel, instructing His chosen people, Israel, to observe holidays like Halloween, Christmas, New Year's, or Valentine's Day? Similarly, in the Christian New Testament, there are no explicit commands from the New Testament Messiah (aka Jesus, YeShuWA, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShuWA, YaShA, etc.) or the apostles to celebrate these specific holidays which are linked to idol or pagan worship practices.

These holidays have origins in various cultural and historical traditions that do not originate in the Hebrew ToRaH. While the Hebrew ToRaH provides guidance on moral and ethical principles, specific celebrations like Halloween, Christmas, New Year's, and Valentine's Day are matters of personal or cultural choice rather than explicit commandments of the God of Israel.

MaShaL 4:7 (Proverbs) in The Hebrew TaNaKh encourages prioritizing understanding by diligently researching all sides of any story. It also highlights that a lack of interest in understanding characterizes a fool, who is more inclined to hear their own opinions echoed by others, as expressed in MaShaL 18:2-3 (Proverbs). The highest form of ignorance is to dismiss or emotionally react to information one has no extensive knowledge about. This wisdom also pertains to information that may challenge existing beliefs or personal convictions.

  1. Halloween: Halloween as it is celebrated today has roots in Celtic/Druid and Christian traditions, but it is never mentioned in the Hebrew TaNaKh or the Christian New Testament. Druids, who were members of the Celtic priestly class, are said to have celebrated Samhain (aka Halloween) as a time when the veil between the living and the dead was believed to be thin, allowing spirits to pass through. When Christianity spread into Celtic regions, efforts were made to Christianize existing pagan festivals and traditions, including Samhain. All Saints' Day, originally celebrated on May 13, was moved to November 1 in the 8th century by Pope Gregory III. The evening before, known as All Hallows' Eve, eventually evolved into Halloween. The modern celebration of Halloween is a mix of Celtic, Christian, and secular influences. It often involves focusing on fun and festivities, costumes, trick-or-treating, and jack-o'-lanterns, rather than the religious or spiritual origins associated with Druidic pagan practices.

  2. Christmas: In America, people are told that they celebrate Dec 25th due to the birth of Jesus. However, the Christian New Testament does not specify a date for the celebration of Christmas. Additionally, the Christian New Testament does not contain any accounts of Jesus or his disciples celebrating his birth. This absence raises questions about the origins of the Christmas tradition and its alignment with New Testament teachings. The Gospels in the Christian New Testament mention events surrounding his birth, such as the nativity scene, and the visitation of the Magi (magicians), but there is no record of Jesus himself celebrating his birthday or what day it was. Early Christians did not commemorate the birth of Jesus, and it was only in the 4th century, specifically in AD 336, under Emperor Constantine, that December 25th began to be recognized as the date of his birth. This shift marked a significant development in the Christian tradition, as prior to this, there was no established celebration of Jesus' birth. December 25th was originally chosen in part to coincide with the existing pagan festival Saturnalia and the winter solstice. This ancient Roman festival honored the god Saturn, and focused on feasting, gift-giving, and a general atmosphere of revelry, contributing to a boisterous Mardi Gras-style environment. The timing of Saturnalia, during the darkest days of winter, aligns with the celebration of the birth of the sun god (Sol Invictus) in Roman culture. The 17th-century Puritans in England and colonial America disapproved of this festive and rowdy celebration and banned Christmas in 1647. The ordinance aimed to suppress what was considered a pagan practice associated with the holiday. Many scholars believe early Christians adopted December 25th for the celebration of Jesus' birth as a means to co-opt existing pagan festivities, particularly to provide a Christian alternative to Saturnalia and other winter solstice celebrations. This raises an interesting question: If Christmas is intended to celebrate the birth of the Christian New Testament Messiah, why do people exchange gifts? Both the Hebrew TaNaKh and the Christian New Testament teach against following falsehoods or lies (Exodus 20:16, Proverbs 12:22, John 8:44, Ephesians 4:25, and Colossians 3:9). With that in mind if historical evidence and facts indicate that December 25th is not the actual birth date of this person, should Christians continue to celebrate this day solely because it has become a long-standing tradition with emotional ties?

  3. New Year's: The concept of a new year is acknowledged in some passages in the Hebrew TaNaKh, but there is no specific command in the Hebrew ToRaH or the Christian New Testament for a global New Year's celebration on January 1st, to honor a Roman god. Exodus 12:1-2 marks the start of the calendar. However, this is more focused on the festivals like Passover rather than a secular New Year celebration. The modern New Year's celebration on January 1st is not rooted in Hebrew ToRaH teachings but has historical and cultural associations from various civilizations and traditions. Janus, the Roman god with two faces, symbolizes transitions, beginnings, and endings. He is associated with the New Year, representing the closing of one year and the opening of another. This duality highlights his role in both starting new ventures and reflecting on past experiences. The name "January" is derived from Janus, and the month of January was named to honor him, reflecting his role in overseeing new beginnings as the first month of the year. The association between Janus and January was established during the Roman calendar reforms. When the Julian calendar was implemented by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE, January became the first month of the year, aligning with the symbolism of new beginnings that Janus represents.

  4. Valentine's Day: Valentine's Day is not mentioned in the Hebrew TaNaKh or the Christian New Testament. Its origins are intertwined with Roman and Christian traditions, featuring various historical figures and customs. Over time, it has evolved into a celebration of love and affection. The holiday is connected to the Roman festival of Lupercalia, which was celebrated in mid-February. Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, and included rituals aimed at ensuring fertility and purification. The Christian aspect of Valentine's Day is primarily associated with the commemoration of St. Valentine, a Christian martyr. There were multiple martyrs named Valentine, with stories that often included acts of compassion or love. The connection between St. Valentine and romantic love became more pronounced over the centuries, particularly during the Middle Ages when notions of courtly love emerged.

Abominations in the ToRaH: Avoiding Idol Worship

The God of Israel explicitly prohibits Israel from adopting the wicked traditions (habitual actions) and customs (H2708 a statute, or ordinance) associated with false idol worship practiced by other nations (Deuteronomy 12:30-31, 18:9, Leviticus 20:23). These verses are part of a larger theme throughout the ToRaH in which the Israelites are instructed not to engage in various practices, customs, ordinances, or laws associated with idol worship of the pagan nations around them. The prohibition is not limited to aspects of idol worship but extends to a range of practices considered abominable (H8441).

In the Hebrew ToRaH, the term "abomination" is used to describe actions, behaviors, or practices that are considered detestable or morally reprehensible in the eyes of YaHuWaH. These include idolatry, certain forbidden dietary practices, immoral conduct, and other offenses against the divine commandments outlined in YaHuWaH’s ToRaH. The concept of abomination reflects actions that are contrary to the standards established in the Hebrew ToRaH, by the God of Israel.

Several verses in TaNaKh warn against adopting the customs, rituals, ordinances, or laws of the land in the surrounding nations, which often included idolatry, divination, sorcery, and other occult activities. The emphasis is on maintaining the distinct ToRaH ways of worship and avoiding practices that would lead them away from their covenant with the God of Israel YaHuWaH. In summary, the Hebrew ToRaH advises against adopting the wicked and abominable practices or laws of idol worship established in the land of other nations, encompassing various aspects of their cultural and religious activities. It’s important to note that not all habitual actions, customs, and traditions of pagan worshipping cultures are wicked.

For example, the custom of eating with knives is a widespread practice in many cultures worldwide. The Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans each possessed distinct knives tailored for the cutting and preparation of food. While these cultures held pagan beliefs, they significantly influenced dining customs throughout the world. Knives were likely used in ancient Hebrew culture for cutting meat and other foods. Archaeological findings from ancient Near Eastern sites indicate that knives made from stone or metal were common utensils for food preparation and consumption. For instance, the use of knives for sacrificial offerings is well documented in the ToRaH, which implies their use in food-related contexts (Leviticus 1:6). Today, the custom or habit of eating with knives is still a widespread practice in many cultures worldwide. Different types of knives are used for various purposes in the kitchen and at the dining table, reflecting the diversity of culinary traditions and preferences.

Driving to work became popular in the United States in the early 20th century. The automotive industry, led by figures like Henry Ford and the mass production of cars, played a significant role in making automobiles more accessible to the general population. While Western culture is predominately pagan, as a result commuting by car became a common practice in American culture and, over time, spread to other parts of the world as well. Given this information about the pagan customs of using knives to eat and driving cars for transportation, should ToRaH followers discontinue their use of these inventions, no.

As we study the Hebrew TaNaKh, it's essential to exercise wisdom and maintain a balanced approach. YaHuWaH desires for His people to avoid embracing customs and traditions linked to idol worship. Nevertheless, He respects all His creation’s autonomy and will not forcibly intervene to prevent them from exercising their free will. We must remember that not all customs here in America are rooted in idol worship. The TaNaKh encourages us in MaShaL 4:7 (Proverbs) to prioritize understanding by diligently researching all sides of any story or topic. It also highlights that a lack of interest in understanding a topic characterizes a fool, who is more inclined to hear their own opinions echoed by others MaShaL 18:2-3 (Proverbs). The highest form of ignorance is to dismiss or emotionally react to information of which one has no extensive knowledge. This wisdom also pertains to information that may challenge existing beliefs or personal opinions.

THE AMERICAN DREAM:

The ideal that every citizen of the United States should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative.

the 56 Founding Fathers

The 56 signers took significant risks by publicly declaring independence from Great Britain in 1776. This act of defiance against a powerful empire could have led to severe consequences, including imprisonment or execution for treason. Many of them faced hardships, such as loss of property and personal safety threats. Some signers lost their homes or were hunted down by British forces. Historical records indicate that several signers endured significant hardships as a result of their actions. For example, Thomas Nelson Jr.'s home was commandeered by British troops, and he faced financial ruin.

These individuals highlight their commitment to the principles of liberty and justice. The bold stance taken by these men was foundational for the development of the United States as a nation built on the ideals of freedom and opportunity. Their declaration laid the groundwork for establishing a government based on democratic principles, individual rights, and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Declaration of Independence is a key document that articulates the American vision of liberty and justice. Without their choice to boldly stand for justice and truth, America would not be the place of opportunity it was meant to be. Here are a few accounts of the difficulties some of them encountered:

  1. Financial Losses: Many signers saw their homes looted or burned by British forces during the Revolutionary War. For instance, Francis Lewis had his property destroyed, and his wife was captured and imprisoned for several months. Thomas Nelson Jr., a governor of Virginia, had to order the bombardment of his own home after it was seized by British troops. He died impoverished as a result of his financial contributions to the war effort.

  2. Imprisonment and Harassment: A few signers were captured and imprisoned by the British. For example, Richard Stockton, a New Jersey lawyer, was captured by Loyalists, imprisoned, and subjected to poor treatment before being released. Though not tortured, the harsh conditions took a toll on his health, and he died a few years later in poor condition. George Walton, a signer from Georgia, was also wounded and captured during the war but was later exchanged.

  3. Loss of Property: Signers like Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy merchant, faced financial ruin when his ships were destroyed by the British navy. Others, like William Ellery of Rhode Island, saw their homes burned down during the British occupation.

  4. Personal Sacrifices: Many of the signers devoted significant personal wealth to fund the war effort. Robert Morris, a wealthy financier, spent a large portion of his fortune supporting the Revolution, only to face financial ruin after the war. He ended up in debtor’s prison later in life.

  5. Physical Hardships: A few signers, like Thomas McKean, were constantly on the move to avoid capture, which placed a strain on their families. He had to relocate his family repeatedly, and by the end of the war, McKean was nearly bankrupt.

  6. Family Hardships: Some families of the signers suffered directly. For instance, Abraham Clark of New Jersey had two of his sons captured by the British and held in harsh conditions on a prison ship.

While many of the signers faced severe personal, financial, and emotional hardships during and after the Revolutionary War, most did not experience the extreme persecution or dramatic deaths often associated with their legacy. However, their real sacrifices were substantial and should not be diminished. Many lost their wealth, endured physical hardships, and risked their lives and the safety of their families for the cause of American independence.

When the 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, they were committing to a vision of America grounded in shared moral values and principles such as liberty, justice, and the inalienable rights of individuals. They sought to establish a nation founded on the belief that all men are created equal and endowed with certain rights, forming a government based on laws that would uphold the common good and preserve the moral fabric of society.

However, the America of today stands in stark contrast to the hopes and ideals those men envisioned. Over the centuries, the nation's landscape—both political and cultural—has changed dramatically. Many feel that the moral compass that once guided the founders' vision has been fractured. In America today, the government’s influence extends far beyond its traditional role of governance, reaching into nearly every aspect of daily life. The control over various aspects of life—ranging from family decisions and religious beliefs to media influence and citizens' rights—has become increasingly pervasive. This dominance raises significant concerns about individual freedoms, both mentally and physically, and poses a threat to fundamental rights such as free speech. Here are some significant points of contrast:

1. The Rise of the "Woke" Agenda:

The modern "woke" agenda, focused on heightened awareness of social issues such as systemic racism, gender identity, and inequality, seeks to reshape societal norms. While some view it as an essential movement toward social justice, others argue that it often prioritizes identity politics over shared national values and can lead to cultural fragmentation. Instead of uniting the country around universal principles of fairness and human dignity, some feel this movement fosters division by emphasizing group identity over individual merit, creating new conflicts around what is deemed moral or ethical.

2. The Problem of Misinformation:

In the digital age, misinformation and malinformation have become a pervasive problem, spreading rapidly through social media and news outlets. When the founders signed the Declaration, they relied on printed pamphlets and newspapers, engaging in reasoned debate about the direction of the new nation. Today, the rise of misinformation and "fake news" has eroded trust in traditional institutions and the media. This undermines the public's ability to engage in rational discourse and agree on basic facts, a key element of any functioning democracy.

3. "Your Truth" vs. "My Truth":

One of the most striking differences between the founders' time and today is the shift away from objective truths. The Declaration was based on the idea of self-evident truths—universal moral principles that transcend personal opinion. In contrast, today’s postmodern culture often embraces the concept of subjective truth, where "your truth" can differ from "my truth." This relativism has led to a deepening cultural divide, as fundamental questions about right and wrong are no longer settled by shared values, but are instead filtered through personal experiences and ideologies.

4. Moral Relativism and Declining Standards:

The men who signed the Declaration of Independence did so in the hope of securing a society where law, morality, and the natural rights of individuals were upheld. Over time, however, many of the moral standards they sought to protect have shifted. Issues such as family values, religious freedoms, and traditional norms around gender and sexuality are hotly contested today. What one group may see as progress, others perceive as a departure from the ethical foundations of the past, sparking debates over what constitutes the moral core of American society.

5. Polarization and the Loss of Civic Unity:

In 1776, the signers were united by a common cause—the fight for independence and the creation of a just society. While there were debates and disagreements, the notion of a collective national purpose was clear. Today, political and cultural polarization has intensified, leading to divisions so deep that common ground seems difficult to find. This polarization weakens the social fabric, and efforts to create consensus around common values often feel out of reach.

6. The Rise of Emotion over Facts:

The founders envisioned a society where decisions were made based on reasoned debate, factual evidence, and logical arguments. Today, many issues are shaped more by emotional reactions than by objective analysis. Political, cultural, and social discussions are increasingly dominated by feelings, where personal sentiments dictate what is accepted as truth. As a result, facts are often dismissed or manipulated to fit emotional narratives, leading to decisions that may lack a solid foundation in reality.

7. Inconvenient Facts:

In our time, facts that challenge popular or politically expedient narratives are often brushed aside or labeled as offensive or harmful. Complex issues like climate change, public health, and social justice are frequently oversimplified, with facts that don't align with prevailing emotional currents ignored or distorted. The ability to engage in meaningful debate is diminished when facts are treated as secondary or inconvenient. This environment makes it difficult to address pressing problems with the nuance and critical thinking required.

8. Echo Chambers and Confirmation Bias:

The modern information age, particularly social media, has allowed individuals to retreat into echo chambers where their emotional biases are continually reinforced. Instead of being confronted with opposing viewpoints or inconvenient truths, people often seek out information that confirms their pre-existing feelings. This further elevates emotion over facts, fostering polarization and preventing constructive dialogue. In such a climate, individuals cling to "my truth" rather than seeking objective truths that can unite society.

9. The Undermining of Evidence-Based Policy:

Emotion-driven narratives have seeped into policymaking, where decisions are increasingly shaped by public sentiment rather than evidence-based research. The founders, in drafting documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, relied on the best philosophical, legal, and political reasoning available. Today, the emotional pull of public opinion, often swayed by media or social media trends, can lead to policies that prioritize emotional satisfaction over long-term practical solutions or factual realities.

10. Consequences of Emotion over Evidence:

When emotion overrules facts, the consequences can be profound. Public trust in institutions like the media, the judicial system, and even science is eroding, as people feel increasingly disconnected from objective reality. Decisions made on emotional grounds without proper regard for evidence often lead to unintended consequences, further exacerbating societal problems. The erosion of a fact-based approach to decision-making not only harms policy but also undermines the very fabric of democracy, which relies on informed citizens making rational choices.

11. Family Decisions:

The government now plays a significant role in areas once considered personal and private, such as family life. Through policies on education, health care, and even parenting styles, it increasingly dictates how families should raise their children. Public schools, for example, are often mandated to teach certain curricula, and in some cases, parents face limitations on how much say they have in their child’s education. Issues like vaccination, gender identity, and mental health interventions have also become heavily regulated, leaving parents with fewer options to make choices that align with their own values and beliefs.

12. Media and News Control:

The media landscape, once a platform for free expression and diverse viewpoints, is now heavily influenced by governmental and corporate interests. Mainstream news outlets are often accused of bias, either promoting government-endorsed narratives or censoring content that challenges the status quo. This control over the flow of information shapes public perception, limiting the ability of citizens to access independent or alternative viewpoints. Government regulations, media conglomerates, and algorithms work in tandem to ensure that only certain narratives reach the public, suppressing dissenting voices.

13. Citizen Rights and Free Speech:

One of the most concerning developments is the gradual erosion of free speech, a cornerstone of American democracy. Once a protected right under the First Amendment, free speech is now being curtailed under the guise of fighting misinformation, hate speech, or maintaining public safety. Social media platforms, which have become the primary forums for public discourse, are subject to government pressure to regulate content. In this climate, individuals and groups who express opinions that go against the dominant political or social narrative often find themselves silenced, de-platformed, or punished. This suppression of free speech threatens the open exchange of ideas and undermines the very principles of democracy that America was founded on.

14 The Feminist Movement

The feminist movement in Western culture has evolved over the decades, advocating for women's rights, gender equality, and the dismantling of patriarchal structures. While the movement has made significant strides in areas like suffrage, education, and workplace equality, it has also sparked debates around masculinity and gender roles. The feminist movement has led to debates around how it aligns or conflicts with traditional American values and Christian morals, particularly concerning views on family structure, gender roles, and sexual ethics. Critics also argue that trends toward emasculation and effeminacy challenge the foundational principles of the Declaration of Independence, leading to a culture of division rather than one of unity and shared purpose.

15. Government Overreach into Everyday Life:

Beyond free speech, the government’s reach has expanded into areas like surveillance, policing, and individual rights. Through mass data collection and surveillance programs, citizens' privacy is increasingly compromised, and freedoms once taken for granted are now subject to government scrutiny. Laws and regulations continue to multiply, restricting personal liberties in ways that were unimaginable just decades ago.

Conclusion:

The signers of the Declaration of Independence faced tremendous risks to secure a future rooted in moral and ethical principles. While their vision was imperfect, it was based on shared ideals that aimed to protect individual rights while ensuring the well-being of the whole nation. Today, America grapples with profound shifts in its moral landscape, from the rise of identity-based politics to the challenges of misinformation and moral relativism. These changes highlight the growing distance between the founding vision and contemporary society, leaving many to wonder whether the nation can recapture the unity and values upon which it was built.

a Materialistic Illusion

Fortune, luck, and wealth have always been pillars on which Western society was built. Even Christians are caught up in this mindset, participate in the lottery, bet on sports, and put faith in luck rather than the Creator. Older generations in Western culture raised their children to chase the American dream, and while America still offers many opportunities, the landscape is dramatically shifting. Those in power influence almost every aspect of Western culture and it’s no secret that religion is top of the list. Since ancient Rome, religion has profoundly influenced Western society in various ways, shaping its cultural, moral, and legal frameworks. From its historical roots to its modern manifestations, religion continues to affect numerous aspects of life, even in societies that have grown more secular.

While this is a fact, those in power frequently overlook one crucial element: children eventually grow into adults, and some will choose to think for themselves and begin to awaken. Through the use of logic and fact-checking, they come to understand that the American dream is not genuinely theirs but rather a conditioned pursuit—a manufactured illusion, meticulously crafted to control those who blindly follow the crowd. To dream, one must be asleep, and unfortunately, most people today are mentally unaware. A significant example is the Western Bible, and we encourage everyone to ask questions and verify that the teachings from the New Testament align with the foundational core principles found in the Hebrew ToRaH.

We were all taught that America is a Christian nation and that its morals are built on scripture, however, the scripture in reference is the Hebrew Bible. The New Testament Messiah, Peter, Philip, and others encourage studying the Hebrew TaNaKh. The apostle Paul in a letter to Timothy (2 Timothy 2:15) encouraged him to “present himself approved to the God of Israel, as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth,” and the word of truth being referenced is the Hebrew TaNaKh.

While some individual writings were in circulation after Jesus' death, the complete New Testament, as we know it today, wasn’t officially compiled until around 300-400 years later. So, when figures in the New Testament reference scripture, they are pointing to the Hebrew TaNaKh, or what is known as the Old Testament. Sharing the unchanging truths found in the Hebrew ToRaH from the God of Israel reflects this timeless foundation; as Paul expressed, there’s no need to feel ashamed because it’s grounded in what is eternal and enduring.

Christians believe that the TaNaKh (aka Old Testament) serves as the foundation for the New Testament, with figures like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiping the God of Israel. These represent America’s proud core values. Yet, nowhere in the Western school curriculum is the Hebrew language taught, made available, or encouraged. This oversight is a significant disservice, and we recognize that it was done intentionally. When people lack a full understanding of what is being taught, they are left to rely on the interpretations, mistranslations, and personal opinions of others.

One thing you will find about this website is that we strive to be accurate, in line with the Hebrew ThaNaKh, and use real unbiased FACTS (NOT emotional feel-good statements that are NOT found in the Hebrew ThaNaKh). Due to our uncompromising stance for the ToRaH, many attempts to slander our character are made, but this is just part of standing on the front lines for YaHuWaH’s ToRaH. It’s easy to sit on the couch from the comfort of your home and yell your opinions at the TV screen when watching sports, however being on the field/court in the game is something entirely different altogether. Although people may find the FACTS and information on this website shocking or even offensive, we encourage everyone to do their own unbiased research and to NOT let pride, emotion, ignorance, arrogance, church, passed down pagan traditions of men, or family attachment stop them from learning the truth (MaShaL 8:13, 16:5, 18-19 and 21:4 "Proverbs", ZaMaR 138:9 "Psalm"). Just because certain information sounds different from how YOU were taught or what the world accepts, doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

We overstand and love those who raised and taught us, and we also know they too did the best they could with the pieces of information they had during their time. However, we are told that in the last days before YaHuWaH returns, knowledge will increase (DaNiYAL 12:4 “Daniel“). This is due to not only the information/technology age but many are simply making the time to fact-check Christian Theology. We know the Hebrew Old Testament is a book about the relationship between the Creator and HIS chosen son, the firstborn and anointed one YiSRAL (past and future). With that in mind in DaBaR 7:14 (2 Chronicles) YiSRAL was instructed that when they REPENTED (have a change of heart/thinking), and then TURNED from their disobedient lifestyle, ONLY then will the Creator hear their prayers. Unlike Christian theology, this means that in order for the god of YiSRAL to even hear HIS chosen people, THEY (NOT all other nations) had to meet HIS requirements. This is exactly why YaHuWaH created good, evil, and various calamities to test YiSRAL to see if they were worthy of redemption.

When we take a moment and read all of 2 Chronicles Chapters 6 and 7 in the Hebrew ToRaH, we see it reads differently from the KJV English translation. The KJV says “IF my people, which are called by my name”, however, the Hebrew Bible says “When my people who bear my name”. The Hebrew Bible gives deeper insight as we know all throughout the Old Testament YiSRAL bore the name of YaHuWaH. We know to bear something is to suffer, endure, or have the power to sustain without flinching or breaking. This is exactly why in proper Hebrew context YiSRAL (YaHuWaH’s son) is and will always be the suffering servant (NOT the Christian New Testament messiah) until they repent and turn back to YaHuWaH alone. The Hebrew Bible also lets us know that this “when” statement has a time clause, meaning at some point in time YiSRAL (Israel) WILL turn back solely to YaHuWaH. When YiSRAL does turn from their evil idol worship, ONLY then will YaHuWaH hear their prayers, forgive their sins, and heal their land. Take note there was NEVER a commandment from YaHuWaH (or from His chosen prophets) that YiSRAL needed a sacrificial death from a salvific demigod (the offspring of a holy spirit/ghost or deity and a mortal, Greek/Roman which is mythology).

DaBaR 7:14 “2 Chronicles”

Why would the Creator bring all these calamities upon YiSRAL you might ask? Hebrew Old Testament shows us time and time again, that YiSRAL continued to adopt, worship, and served other gods.

DaBaR 7:21-22 “2 Chronicles”

We know there is nothing new under the sun (QuWaHLaT 1:9-10 “Ecclesiastes”) so when we fast forward to our modern times, many people in various religions, sects (or opposing thought processes against the Old Testament) are continuing to give the due esteem that belongs ONLY to the Creator over to a salvific man. Giving the esteem to anyone other than the Creator first breaks His commandment (ShaMuWTh 20:3-5, 23:24 "Exodus", LuWiYM 26:1 "Leviticus", DaBaRiYM 4:16-19,23 5:8, 7:5, 25 27:15 "Deuteronomy", HuWShuWA 11:2 “Hosea”, YaShAYaHuW 10:10, 30:22 42:8,17 44:10-15, 45:20 "Isaiah", YaChaZaQAL 30:13 "Ezekiel", MaKhiYaHuW 1:7, 5:13 "Micah", ZaMaR 78:58,97:7 "Psalms", YaRaMiYaHuW 8:19, 43:13, 50:2,38 51:17, 47-52 "Jeremiah", ALaPh MaLAKiYM 14:9 “1 Kings”, BaT MaLAKiYM 17:16,41 23:14 “2 Kings”, KhaBQuWQ 2:18 “Habakkuk”, BaT DaBaR 14:3, 23:17, 34:7, 34:4 “2 Chronicles”).

On this website, you will see YaHuWaH for this the correct, irrefutable, and true Hebrew name of the god of YiSRAL used by the ancients of old (ShaMuWTh 3:15 and 20:7 “Exodus”, DaBaRiYM 5:11 ”Deuteronomy“, YaShAYaHuW 42:8 and 43:15 "Isaiah"). This is so there is NO confusion as to who we (WOTR) are giving the full and honorable esteem to for this is what those who claim YiSRAL are commanded to do. There is nothing wrong with the words “the LORD” and “god”, however, once you know the true name of YaHuWaH and continue using these pagan connotated titles OUT, OF CONTEXT, this upsets the Creator. Saying “I love my God YaHuWaH” or “my master is the god of Israel YaHuWaH”, would be sufficient. Why or how is being solely obedient unto the Creator heresy? How or why is giving all esteem, honor, and majesty to the Creator of everything YaHuWaH (like we are commanded to do), evil or disobedient?

WESTERN HEALTH

Chronic Disease

As of 2020, the obesity rate has climbed to 42.4% and continues to rise, compared to 13.4% in the early 1960s.

Chronic Disease and Obesity in America: The Stats

Since 2016, we at WOTR have been working to reveal that once you recognize the deception surrounding the Christian New Testament, it naturally raises the question, “What else have we been misled about?” For us, the next major area of discovery and answers was "Health and Fitness." Although the Western United States is the smallest in population among America's regions, it stands out as one of the largest global epicenters of chronic disease and obesity. This growing health crisis has been linked to a wide range of factors, most notably the consumption of processed foods that are laden with harmful chemicals and additives. This pattern of unhealthy eating and lifestyle is now contributing to a rise in diseases that were virtually nonexistent 50 years ago, with alarming consequences for public health.

According to recent studies, approximately 77% of young adults in the United States aged 17-24 are ineligible for military service, largely due to issues that would prevent them from passing a health examination for basic training. The primary disqualifiers include obesity, mental and physical health conditions, and lack of fitness. Within this percentage, physical fitness and health-related issues have emerged as significant barriers. The trend underscores rising concerns about health and fitness among young adults, impacting not only military readiness but also overall physical well-being.

The obesity crisis in America has reached unprecedented levels. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the national obesity rate stands at 42.4% as of 2020. This number has been steadily rising over the past few decades in comparison to the early 1960s when the obesity rate was only 13.4%. The Western United States, despite having a smaller population, is not immune to this trend. States like California and Nevada have reported sharp increases in obesity rates, mirroring national patterns. Additionally, the CDC reports that 6 in 10 Americans live with at least one chronic disease, such as heart disease, cancer, or diabetes. These conditions are heavily associated with obesity and unhealthy diets.

The Processed Food Problem

One of the most significant contributors to the chronic disease epidemic in America is the prevalence of processed foods in the average diet. Fifty years ago, chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers were far less common. Today, they are prevalent, largely due to the high consumption of foods filled with artificial ingredients, preservatives, and unhealthy fats.

Processed foods in the U.S. are engineered to be addictive. Companies use a combination of sugar, salt, fat, and chemicals to create what is often referred to as "hyperpalatable" foods—those that trigger intense cravings. As a result, Americans consume more processed foods than ever before. A study from the National Institutes of Health revealed that 58% of the calories consumed in the U.S. come from ultra-processed foods. This dietary shift over the past few decades has been directly linked to the rise in obesity and chronic diseases.

Since the introduction of processed dog food, the rate of cancer and other chronic diseases in domesticated dogs has notably increased compared to their wild counterparts, like wolves or feral dogs, who primarily eat natural, raw diets. While wild canines are still susceptible to disease, they experience significantly lower rates of cancer and other health issues seen in domesticated dogs.

Historically, dogs did not eat processed dog food or kibble as we know it today. For thousands of years, dogs survived and thrived on diets primarily composed of raw meats, bones, and whatever scraps or leftovers they could scavenge from humans. Early domesticated dogs often ate similar foods to those of their human companions, which included raw meats from hunting, table scraps, and cooked foods when available. This natural diet was high in animal protein, fats, and other nutrients, closely resembling the diet of their wild ancestors.

Studies have shown that up to 50% of domesticated dogs over the age of 10 develop some form of cancer. In contrast, wild canines, with their natural diets and active lifestyles, experience far lower rates of cancer and often avoid the chronic diseases linked to processed foods. Factors in processed dog foods, including preservatives, artificial additives, and low-quality ingredients, have been suggested as potential contributors to the rising cancer rates in pet dogs.

The Role of Health Regulations in Other Countries

In contrast to the U.S., many other countries have put stringent health regulations in place to protect their populations from the dangers of processed foods. For example, countries in the European Union have banned several harmful food additives that are commonly found in American products, such as certain artificial colors and preservatives. Additionally, places like the United Kingdom and Canada have imposed strict limits on the amount of sugar and trans fats that can be added to foods.

These regulations aim to reduce the public's consumption of unhealthy ingredients and prevent food manufacturers from making products that foster addiction. However, in the U.S., many food corporations have powerful lobbying groups that influence policy, making it difficult to implement similar safeguards. As a result, the health of the American population continues to decline.

The Impact of COVID-19 on a Nation Already in Crisis

When COVID-19 swept through the United States, it exposed just how vulnerable the American population had become. The pandemic disproportionately affected those with pre-existing health conditions, many of which were linked to obesity and poor diets. According to data from the CDC, 94% of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. involved an underlying health condition, such as heart disease, diabetes, or obesity.

The U.S. reported the highest number of COVID-19 infections and deaths globally. As of October 2021, the U.S. had recorded over 700,000 deaths from COVID-19 and millions of infections, leading the world in both statistics. Many health experts attribute this to the high prevalence of chronic diseases and the deteriorating health of Americans prior to the pandemic. Had the nation's population been healthier, the COVID-19 death toll may not have been as catastrophic.

The rise of chronic diseases and obesity in the Western United States—and America at large—paints a troubling picture of a nation in a health crisis. The link between processed foods, addictive eating habits, and deteriorating public health is clear. With obesity rates skyrocketing and chronic diseases becoming more prevalent, the impact has been devastating, especially when coupled with external crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. To reverse this trend, America must reconsider its approach to food regulation and health education. Otherwise, the health of its population will continue to deteriorate at an alarming rate.

CONTRASTING THE WESTERN DIET WITH THE HEBREW TANAKH

 
 

The modern Western diet, characterized by an over-reliance on processed foods and unhealthy additives, is in stark contrast to the dietary principles followed by the Israelites in the Hebrew TaNaKh. The Israelites lived in accordance with the dietary laws and principles established by the God of Israel, and their way of life reflected a divine order that promoted health and longevity. This contrast highlights a key reason why, as the Western world faces a growing epidemic of chronic diseases and obesity, the Israelites, following the commandments of the Creator, thrived with healthier lifestyles.

The Diet of the Israelites: A Focus on Health and Holiness

In the Hebrew Tanakh, the dietary laws given to the Israelites by the God of Israel were designed not only for physical nourishment but also for spiritual purity and obedience to divine will. The food laws laid out in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 emphasized the importance of clean and unclean foods. Israelites were instructed to avoid certain animals that were considered unclean and to consume only what was healthy and permissible according to the laws of YaHuWaH. This included eating natural foods such as grains, fruits, vegetables, clean animals, and fish with fins and scales.

The Nation of Israel per the guide of YaHuWaH implemented a way of life that focused on balance, including periodic fasting and rest through the observance of the Sabbath (to rest). This balance promoted not only physical health, but mental clarity, and spiritual alignment with YaHuWaH's commandments. Unlike the Western diet, which today includes heavily processed foods filled with harmful chemicals, the Israelite diet emphasizes natural, whole foods that contribute to long-term health and vitality.

The Consequences of Disregarding Divine Order

In the Western world, societies and nations are not built upon the Hebrew ToRaH or the commandments of the God of Israel. Instead, modern culture prioritizes convenience, pleasure, and profit, often to the detriment of health. The rise of processed foods, which are filled with addictive ingredients designed to hook consumers, has led to the rampant obesity and chronic diseases that plague Western nations today. As mentioned earlier, the CDC reports that 42.4% of Americans are obese, and many live with multiple chronic diseases. This is a clear departure from the natural order and wisdom that the God of Israel intended for humanity.

The Israelites, by following the divine commandments, experienced blessings and health because their lives were aligned with the Creator’s design. Deuteronomy 28 outlines the blessings that come with obedience to YaHuWaH's law, including prosperity and health. Conversely, it also warns of the curses and diseases that will come from disobedience. Western society’s disregard for natural, healthy living and its failure to align with divine principles has led to widespread health issues, contributing to chronic diseases and shorter lifespans compared to the longevity enjoyed by the Israelites when they followed God’s commandments.

The Call to Return to the God of Israel

The deterioration of health in Western society reflects a deeper spiritual misalignment. The God of Israel, through His ToRaH, established a way of life that promotes not only physical well-being but also spiritual and communal harmony. The key to reversing this decline lies in returning to the principles that the Creator set for humanity. In the Hebrew Bible, the God of Israel repeatedly calls His people to return to Him when they stray from His commandments.

One of the most profound invitations to return can be found in Deuteronomy 30:2-3, where YaHuWaH says:

"And you return to YaHuWaH your God and obey His voice according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, that YaHuWaH your God will bring you back from captivity and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where YaHuWaH your God has scattered you."

This passage highlights the deep connection between returning to the God of Israel and the restoration of health, prosperity, and blessing. Just as the Israelites were called to return to God in order to be restored, modern societies—especially in the Western world—must also recognize the importance of realigning their lives with the divine order to overcome the health crises that have emerged.

The Need for a Shift in Western Culture

As long as Western society continues to prioritize unhealthy processed foods and disregard the divine wisdom found in the ToRaH, it will remain out of alignment with the Creator’s will. Chronic disease and obesity are physical manifestations of a deeper spiritual disconnection. The God of Israel, through His commandments, provided a way of life that leads to health, longevity, and spiritual fulfillment. Until there is a collective return to the God of Israel, as He has instructed in the ToRaH, Western culture will continue to face deteriorating health and well-being.

The contrast between the Western diet and the Israelites' lifestyle in the Hebrew TaNaKh offers a profound lesson for modern times. The Israelites, by adhering to the commandments of the God of Israel, experienced health and vitality, while Western society, by prioritizing processed and unhealthy foods, has faced widespread chronic disease and obesity. As chronic illness continues to rise, the call to return to the principles laid out in the ToRaH becomes ever more urgent. Only by returning to the God of Israel and living according to His divine order can societies hope to reverse the alarming trends of poor health and spiritual misalignment.

This is why facts and truth hold greater value than lies and emotional attachments. Although our world often operates on greed, power, and corruption, not all doctors, nutritionists, health advocates, or personal trainers are driven by profit. Many possess genuine intentions; however, if a licensed professional merely adheres to teachings from their education—based on decades of incorrect information—they may unintentionally mislead clients or patients, regardless of their good intentions.

The same holds for most churches: while some pastors may genuinely care for their congregations if they teach from a book that has been significantly altered and is far removed from its original Hebrew context, they inadvertently guide their followers away from what the God of Israel established as unchanging. Just because the FDA, a noted nutritionist, or a fitness expert claims a particular dietary approach is correct—and the masses follow suit—doesn’t make it right. It’s often said that if everyone is doing something, it’s likely flawed. Unfortunately, most people tend to conform to the crowd, which should raise significant concerns. The health, fitness, and supplement industries are among the most corrupt in America, primarily driven by profit. Sadly, many advocates in these fields may compromise the truth to maintain their status and clientele.

Western society has been conditioned to appreciate the Hebrew Old Testament, but it is often viewed as irrelevant. This change largely stems from the widespread acceptance of the New Testament, which modifies and alters the Old Testament. A prominent addition is the emphasis on the importance of one’s heart condition. Similarly, society has been programmed to rely on carbohydrates and addictive ingredients that harm everyone, often intentionally. After centuries of accepted falsehoods perpetuated by individuals and pastors alike, many find it difficult to accept the truth about the New Testament. Just as our bodies have been conditioned to rely on carbohydrates and artificial substances engineered to make people addicted, many people's actions are shaped by a reality grounded in misinformation, lies, and half-truths.

This pattern is also evident in our eating habits: when individuals are urged to alter their diets and cooking methods due to serious health concerns or even death, they often respond defensively. This reaction is rooted in emotion, as many have developed both an emotional and physical reliance on misleading teachings about food preparation and consumption. The same applies to the Christian religion; when people are prompted to reevaluate their views on the New Testament in light of its Hebrew origins and validity, many react with defensiveness. This too is an emotional response, as individuals often become emotionally attached to teachings and doctrines regarding salvation and redemption that are misrepresented and taken out of context.

The overwhelming evidence exists; history shows that diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune diseases were far less common fifty years ago. Truth is truth, and facts are facts; any denial comes from individuals, not from the evidence itself.

ARE WE A CULT:

CULT:

- a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.

Often, WOTR (and our fellowship community) faces unfair labels such as 'CULT' or 'Christian hate group.' Regrettably, this stems from a lack of understanding about what we put our trust in. It seems easier for some individuals to hold onto their opinions or 'THEIR truth' without delving into the depth of why we do what we do. This tendency allows emotions to prevail and excuses the continuation of personal truths, even when it may not align with the teachings of the Hebrew ToRaH (MaShaL 21:2-4 “Proverbs”).

One aspect we at WOTR take pride in is our commitment to diversity of thought and varying perspectives. It requires courage to sit down and engage in discussions about different beliefs and have healthy conversations. Ultimately, whether people agree or not, the important thing is that all sides were heard and their perspectives were fact-checked In a world where confusion, fear, and preconceived notions abound, we take the time to share our perspectives openly and sincerely.

The unfortunate reality is that many of these perceptions stem from individuals who choose not to invest the time to consider all facets of the matter, including the perspective of the Creator and god of Israel YaHuWaH. Without investing the effort to gain a comprehensive understanding (Proverbs 4:5-9), preconceived notions can lead people to distance themselves from genuine people.

BELITTLING: UNDERSTANDING AND ENCOURAGING RESPECTFUL DIALOGUE

Diverse individuals may hold differing views on the information presented on our website, and that's perfectly acceptable. We encourage everyone not to blindly accept anything regarding religion. However, in the case of the New Testament pawned off as the continuation of the Hebrew TaNaKh, one must critically assess all its concepts and claims against the unchanging ToRaH provided by the Creator of all things. Many individuals consistently engage in belittling behavior towards those with differing opinions due to a variety of psychological and social factors. This may stem from insecurities, a need for control, fear of change, a lack of empathy, social conditioning, or confirmation bias. Understanding these underlying reasons can shed light on the motivations behind such behavior, emphasizing the importance of promoting respectful dialogue and empathy to foster constructive conversations.

Until the great day of YaHuWaH, not everyone will trust the ToRaH, which is why there are so many diverse belief systems and religions. This encompasses different factions and communities of Black Hebrew Israelites, and even within these groups, there is disagreement and conflict concerning sound doctrine. Consider Jesus, who influenced many away from the ToRaH, yet those trusting in it remained steadfast, recognizing the disparity in his teachings. Some YouTube channels, both present and past, hiss at our content, and that's fine. However, it's important to clarify that we never claimed to be prophets, mentors, teachers, or chosen by the Creator. All we aim to do is share the ToRaH of YaHuWaH, which we were never encouraged to do when we were Christians. Some say we are false prophets, mentors, or teachers, insinuating that we claimed we were, however, this is disingenuous.

Many followers of the Christian New Testament often find it necessary to criticize those who adhere to the ToRaH, of the God of Israel. The ToRaH never records the chosen prophets actively seeking out to constantly rebuke and belittle false doctrines or prophets. However, it emphasizes adherence to YaHuWaH's commandments and warns against false prophets who lead people away from those commandments. Deuteronomy 13:1-5 and Deuteronomy 18:20-22 provide guidance on discerning true prophets from false ones, but the act of constantly seeking out and rebuking false prophets is never outlined in the ToRaH.

After the resurrection of Jesus, the Christian disciples were actively engaged in spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ, leading conversions, and sharing the message of salvation. In passages like Matthew 28:19-20 (the Great Commission) and Acts 1:8, Jesus instructs his disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, bearing witness to what they had seen and heard. The focus was on proclaiming the gospel and inviting people to follow the teachings of Jesus.

The act of forming and maintaining churches is implicitly supported in Paul's teachings about the body of Christ, the fellowship of believers, and the importance of assembling for worship. Every religion, including Black Hebrew Israelite camps, adopts a similar template to Christianity. However, the ToRaH does not depict the chosen prophets behaving in this way.

Matthew 18:17 provides guidance on dealing with disputes or conflicts within the Christian community. In essence, it suggests that if someone refuses to listen to attempts at resolution and reconciliation, the matter should be brought before the entire church community. If the person persists in disregarding the community's counsel, they are to be regarded as a pagan or tax collector, essentially indicating that they should be left alone. Despite being given guidance on conflict resolution, believers in the New Testament often disregard these instructions and persist in behaviors that bring them personal satisfaction.

When conveying the sacred and unchanging words of the God of Israel, which New Testament believers consider highly sacred, there is no necessity to defend this position against opinions contradicting the Creator's ToRaH. Confidence in sharing these teachings comes from adhering to the established truth of the Creator, rendering external perspectives that deviate from it inconsequential.

 
 

In disagreements and contention, maintaining decency and order is crucial, as YaHuWaH values order. Unfortunately, many who claim to follow scripture tend to operate outside of YaHuWaH's guidance. Driven by emotion, they swiftly resort to blocking, unfriending, dismissing, and distancing themselves from others, often due to unresolved feelings or a misalignment between YaHuWaH's ToRaH and their own thoughts/desires. These actions reveal their true sentiments towards both individuals and YaHuWaH. The emotional accusations resembling a cult have led these individuals to become false accusers, thus violating Psalm 37:8 and transgressing a commandment (Exodus 20:26). All WOTR shares is the instructions of YaHuWaH from the Hebrew ToRaH—information that is verifiable and researchable. Yet, accusations of spreading lies persist, revealing the fruits of the flesh and highlighting the hypocrisy of Westernized, mainstream, organized Christianity—a stance boldly opposed by WOTR. Our intent is not to impose our thoughts or identity on others; rather, we advocate for independent thinking based on the truth of YaHuWaH.

Regardless of the subject, if what you consider 'your truth' lacks a foundation in unbiased truth and facts, it carries no substantial weight. Objective facts and irrefutable truth should always take precedence over emotion. When these priorities are reversed, individuals may make misguided physical and spiritual decisions based on emotions or unchallenged, false ideologies. If you are genuinely prepared to detach emotionally from inherited misinformation passed down through generations, then what we share on this website may enlighten you. During our formative years, we naturally believed, obeyed, and followed our parents due to love, admiration, and a sense of obedience. It's essential to recognize that our parents, in turn, did the same with their parents, passing down certain traits, whether accurate or not, to us.

As we mature and develop the ability to think independently, transitioning into adulthood prompts us to set aside childish notions and discern truth from falsehood, and right from wrong. We embark on a journey beyond the confines of the conditioned beliefs we've all grown up with. Witnessing the world's widespread acceptance of hypocrisy and compromise over truth, our innate curiosity and logical reasoning come to the forefront. Respectfully questioning the pervasive delusions we've been taught becomes a natural step. There are no coincidences, and if you find yourself on this website for the first time, it's not by chance. Against popular belief, It is not because the LORD or even YaHuWaH led you here, it’s because you are seeking out information. The Creator is not manipulating people’s lives and although YaHuWaH encourages people to choose life, He will not override His gift of “FREE WILL”. It is clearly stated in ToRaH that the choice to choose life, death, good, and evil is up to each individual and NOT YaHuWaH.

DaBaRiYM 30:15-19 “Deuteronomy”

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

We understand that ToRaH emphasizes YaHuWaH's will for none to perish, clarifying that this doesn't imply an exemption for sinners. However, bestowed with the gift of free will, a manifestation of YaHuWaH's love, it remains our responsibility to choose repentance, undergo a radical transformation, and break away from inherited, unwittingly disobedient pagan practices (Jeremiah 10:2-4). The gravity of 'turning away' from our disobedient ways is often overlooked by many Christians, conditioned to believe in eternal salvation irrespective of their lifestyle. Unfortunately, this popular Christian notion lacks scriptural support (Psalm 91:14-15 and 2 Chronicles 7:14). The ThaNaKh warns of the possibility of being blotted out from the book of life (ShaMuWTh 32:30-33 “Exodus” and ZaMaR 69:28 “Psalm”), challenging the misconception of an unconditional and eternal salvation.

Extensive, unbiased historical research enlightens us about the profound alterations made by the Roman Catholic Empire to the original Hebrew culture and ToRaH. The resulting English version, commonly known as the New Testament, is derived from the Hebrew ToRaH but has been interwoven with Roman polycystic pagan customs and traditions. These disobedient revisions to the Hebrew historical record were strategically implemented to promote the Roman Catholic Empire's newly devised pagan organized religion, Christianity. Recognizing the enemy's tactic of blending truth with lies, it becomes imperative for us to dedicate time to unveil these falsehoods, particularly for the well-being of our loved ones (YaShAYaHuW 5:20 “Isaiah“ and ZaMaR 94:16 ”Psalm“).

Armed with newfound facts, our responsibility is to accurately discern genuine teachings of the Creator in the ToRaH from the distorted falsehoods. Professing to follow and trust in the scriptures requires a commitment to embrace ALL of its contents—the Hebrew ToRaH—rather than selectively adhering to the altered portions that offer mere emotional comfort. This necessitates unlearning much of what is commonly taught in many churches, particularly the Christian theology derived from the New Testament. Aligning with the wisdom found in Proverbs (4:5-9 and 18:12-15), obedience demands a diligent study of the Hebrew ToRaH and a critical examination of the various claims presented in the Christian New Testament. Just as you wouldn't expect a thorough and accurate review of a book or movie from someone who habitually starts reading or watching from the middle, a comprehensive understanding of the scriptures requires a holistic approach that encompasses the entirety of the text.

AVOIDING CORRECTION:

a·void

To keep away from or stop oneself from doing (something).

In a world driven by personal opinions and subjective experiences, correction based on truth, fact, and evidence is increasingly seen as inconvenient. Modern society often prioritizes comfort, emotional validation, and the maintenance of popular narratives over the hard truths that challenge our perspectives. Correction grounded in truth remains essential for personal and societal growth. It fosters accountability, encourages critical thinking, and helps prevent the spread of misinformation and malinformaiton. True progress comes when we prioritize what is right over what is comfortable. In a society where convenience often trumps accuracy, embracing correction as an act of care and commitment to truth is a revolutionary stance.

When we explore Leviticus 19:17-18 in the Hebrew ToRaH regarding correction, it becomes evident that Israel was instructed to reprove or correct their fellow brethren when they deviated from YaHuWaH's instructions. This mandate not only encourages correction but is emphasized and backed by the commands of YaHuWaH. Furthermore, the ToRaH instructs that we should feel no guilt in reproving, even considering potential strains on relationships. The ToRaH advises against harboring grudges against our compatriots, although correcting someone in love with YaHuWaH's unchanging ToRaH often elicits defensive reactions.

In emotion, some may assert privacy by stating, 'It's my business” or “Mind your own business,” yet, if their actions diverge from YaHuWaH's instructions, expressing concern for our brethren is an act of love. Love manifests in many forms, and while it may be unpopular, being truthful is a crucial aspect of that love. In Western culture, expressions of love often focus on physical affection, such as hugs and kisses, along with emotional affirmations. These gestures are celebrated, even when one may be in the wrong. However, true love also involves honesty and accountability, which means sometimes offering difficult truths instead of merely providing comfort.

Receiving correction aligned with YaHuWaH's ToRaH should be embraced as an act of genuine love (Psalm 94:12). Emotional resistance to correction often stems from an aversion to facing the possibility that one's actions may be incorrect.

LuWiYM 19:17-18 “Leviticus” KJV

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am YaHuWaH.

LuWiYM 19:17-18 “Leviticus” Hebrew ToRaH

In this journey for YaHuWaH alone, you'll come to understand that it's not about allegiance to earthly individuals, ministries, or friendships; it's solely about devotion to YaHuWaH. Those walking in the Creators ToRaH should avoid harboring prolonged grudges or taking things personally when someone cares enough to share the truth or holds them accountable to YaHuWaH's ToRaH (Leviticus 19:17-18, Proverbs 14:8-13, and 18:2, 13-15). Clinging to bitterness, seeking retaliation, and engaging in gossip about the issue prove unproductive.

Harboring personal grudges, embracing unforgiveness, and withdrawing oneself in an unrighteous manner (not in accordance with ToRaH) are not indicative of wisdom but rather actions rooted in the flesh (Proverbs 18:1-7). While recognizing that 'two cannot walk together unless they agree' (Amos 3:3-5), it is crucial to highlight that choosing to sever ties, block, or cut someone off in an unrighteous manner, driven by personal opinions, selfish desires, or emotions rather than the guidance of ToRaH, is considered disorderly (Exodus 20:16). The resistance to correction with YaHuWaH's word often stems from hidden agendas, revealing a devotion not to the Creator but to the religion of self.

Grudging in Greek is G1112 γογγυσμός gongysmos

Meaning: a murmur, murmuring, muttering, a secret debate, a secret displeasure not openly avowed

Grudge in Hebrew is H5201 NaTaR

Meaning: to guard; figuratively, to cherish (anger):—bear a grudge, keep(-er), reserve.

Individuals who harbor prolonged grudges while professing allegiance to YaHuWaH reveal a lack of true ShaLuWM (peace) within them. Their semblance of peace may be tied to temporal aspects such as wealth, material possessions, social recognition, or physical relationships, but it does not extend to YaHuWaH. Those who distance themselves in unrighteousness often seek to conceal their secret sins or displeasure from others. Accountability to the principles established in the Hebrew ToRaH is often resisted, and the desire to avoid exposing compromise or selfishness to those who intimately know them leads to the choice of distancing. This distancing allows them to present a facade to new relationships that are unaware of their past, but ABa YaHuWaH sees all (MaShaL 5:21 and 15:3 “Proverbs”, ZaMaR 11:4 "Psalm", AiYuWB 31:4, 34:21 "Job").

Many assume that if they reject, avoid, or ignore conversations of correction (when backed by the ToRaH of YaHuWaH) they won’t be accountable for their disobedience hence the saying “ignorance is bliss”. However, this will avail them nothing as for 1) YaHuWaH sees all and 2) scripture is very clear in MaShaL 28:4 (Proverbs) that it is unwise to turn away from the instruction of the Creator. YaHuWaH is not bound to hear or honor the one who neglects His ToRaH. Before we speak to YaHuWaH in prayer we must humbly and attentively obey His word, otherwise, one’s prayers may be arrogant abominations for personal gain (MaShaL 28:9 “Proverbs”). The prayers from individuals who think they are above reproach or that it’s THEIR way or the NO way, will certainly not be a proper prayer unto YaHuWaH. Those who refuse to hear YaHuWaH’s correction will not pray according to YaHuWaH’s will, but their own. Whether it’s a prayer to bless their relationship or for a physical monetary thing, these desires are demanded of YaHuWaH (“Where is my blessing god???”).

Everything (even in disagreements/contentions) should be done in decent and in YaHuWaHs order. NO ONE is above reproach and anyone who claims they know it all, but avoids conversations of correction is putting up a façade. Anyone can say they know YaHuWaH and walk in His ToRaH, however, what do their actions show? Talk is cheap (MaShaL 14:23-25 “Proverbs”), for the world says one thing, but what does the word say?

John 8:32 is a famous Christian quote, however knowing the truth alone WON’T set you free from lies or deception because knowing what’s true is just the first step. The truth means nothing unless you put forth the action to free yourself from those lies or deceptions. A lifestyle that’s in alignment with the God of Israel’s ToRaH makes you free from the mental bondage, misinformation, and half-truths of religion. You DON’T automatically get covered by YaHuWaH just because you know the truth, NO. There’s an accountability piece that the masses love to overlook. People want all the covenant benefits that are attached to the Nation of Israel, however refuse the struggle, correction, and REAL radical change that is required when obeying YaHuWaH.

accountability002.JPG

No one enjoys being corrected, and everyone tends to view themselves as righteous, but the ToRaH reminds us that YaHuWaH examines the heart (MaShaL 21:2, "Proverbs"). This is because the Creator understands whether a person is intentionally disobedient or if they have simply been taught or handed down beliefs about right and wrong. however, for those who are disingenuous, the question is, “Does the Creator like what’s in the heart of men, and is it in line with His word”? This world has been conditioned to deflect accountability, but YaHuWaH watches fruits and tests us to see if we will obey Him or obey others that contradict His ToRaH (DaBaRiYM 12:32 “Deuteronomy”). Christians frequently claim they are a work in progress, but if no genuine progress is being made—such as after several years—are they truly putting in the effort?

This outcome is unfortunately the result of Christianity's false doctrine that claims, except for the New Testament Messiah, "no one can be perfect," which is yet another misinterpretation of the term. Their outcome due to the lack of knowledge and work is a degradation of life, health, marriage, family, integrity, etc. Against popular belief, the English word “perfect” (Hebrew H8549 TaMiYM) occurs 99 times in 94 verses in the KJV and it means to be complete, whole, entire, sound, and mature in the RuWaCh (spirit) and NOT in the physical sense. NO ONE can be perfect in the physical sense, however through the forgiveness of YaHuWaH (YaShAYaHuW 43:10-11 and 49:26 “Isaiah“) and obedience to His ToRaH (YaShAYaHuW 43:10-11 and 49:26 “Isaiah“) we are perfect. Scripture mentions so many Hebrew patriarchs who were perfect in YaHuWaH’s eyes so this is something that is for sure attainable, otherwise, it would NOT be stated in the Hebrew TaNaKh.

NO RELIGION JUST TRUTH:

 

Re·li·gion

a group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.

 
 
TheHebrewSays_3_70.jpg

Religion often encourages individuals to embrace the traditions of their ancestors, but it frequently falls short of teaching how to live in obedience to the true Creator, and God of Israel. Some pastors argue that since people in America speak English, there is no need to learn Hebrew and advise against sharing Christianity’s Hebrew origins. Yet, consider that words like karaoke (Japanese), déjà vu (French), Jesus (Latin), faucet (Old French), diaper (ancient Greek), and kindergarten (German) are commonly used in everyday American language. Despite this, there seems to be little concern that these terms are not English. Unfortunately, this reflects a common excuse used by pastors to justify perpetuating misinformation and half-truths for their personal gain.

Jeremiah 23:1 KJV

1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith YaHuWaH.


YaRaMiYaHuW 23:1-3 “Jeremiah” Hebrew ToRaH

As we read YaRaMiYaHuW 23:1-3 (Jeremiah) in the TaNaKh, we see that YaHuWaH is NOT pleased with those who scatter His people. A perfect example is the New Testament Messiah and his disciples. Their mission was to encourage the nation to move away from following the established Hebrew ToRaH and to start adhering to the new and modified teachings of Jesus. The Creator makes it clear that those who try to lead His people away from the ToRaH should not be believed or followed. This is precisely why the Hebrews and Jews of that time did not accept the individual who claimed to be the son of YaHuWaH.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 (KJV):

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear YaHuWaH, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

One devastating way Christian theology continues to lead people astray is by NOT teaching the ToRaH FROM the perspective of the Creator’s chosen people, the Hebrews. Just because people live in America and speak English (or live in any other part of the world and speak different languages) DOES NOT give people a right to discard, alter, or disrespect the Hebrew nation’s original cultural history (or any culture’s history at that). TRUTH is NOT a religion, and unlike religion, TRUTH does NOT have a hidden agenda. If you love the Creator, your duty is straightforward and is a principle that has already been laid out in the wisdom of the Hebrew TaNaKh (Ecclesiastes 12:13).

In this context, "the whole matter" refers to the entirety of human existence, all of life’s questions, dilemmas, and endeavors. The verse emphasizes that despite the uncertainties and temporary nature of earthly pursuits, the most important thing that remains is to have a deep respect for the God of Isreal (fear/reverence of YaHuWaH) and to live in obedience to His commandments. This is presented as the essence and purpose of human life.

The statement suggests that all other concerns pale in comparison to these two key principles—reverence for YaHuWaH and adherence to His laws. It conveys the belief that true fulfillment and meaning in life are not found in material success, lifelong quests for enlightenment, or philosophical reflections, but rather in following the divine guidance given by the Creator to His chosen people, the nation of Israel.

Religion definition and word etymology 

religion_bind_again.jpg
religion_def.JPG
religion_ety.JPG

When we remove the emotional attachment to religion/church, and make time to go back and research the unbiased origins of the English word “religion”, we find it DOES NOT track back to the true melanated ABaRiY (aka Hebrew people) of the scriptures. We find that its origins start with the Latin and the Anglo-French people and that it’s based on monastic vows (NOT Hebraic scriptural accuracy). We also find that word “religion” means reverence, respect, having faith in, worship, cult, and bond to gods (more than one, polytheism). Polytheism is a proven historical FACT regarding the culture and customs of the pagan Roman Catholic Empire (who heavily re-wrote the Hebrew ThaNaKh). The ThaNaKh is very clear that the ABaRiY people of the scriptures had a loyal bond with one (monotheism) ALuWaH (mighty one), and that was the Creator YaHuWaH. This was a strong trait in the ABaRiY culture that was established by YaHuWaH in Ba’Ha’RAShiYTh 4:26 (Genesis “the beginning”), and this commandment was to be carried throughout ALL generations FOREVER.

BaRAShiYTh 4:26 "Genesis"

26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of YaHuWaH.

ShaMuWTh 3:15 "Exodus"

15 And ALuWaH said moreover unto MuWShaH (Moses), Thus shalt thou say unto the children of YiSRAL (Israel), YaHuWaH ALuWaH of your fathers, the ALuWaH of Abraham, the ALuWaH of Isaac, and the ALuWaH of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is MY NAME FOREVER, and this is my memorial unto ALL generations.

THE LORD TOLD ME:

DaBaRiYM 18:20

20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in MY NAME, which I have NOT commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the NAME OF OTHER GODS, even that prophet shall DIE.

In a Western world where actions are frequently guided by emotions, it is understandable that individuals may at times harbor delusions of grandeur. Many people assert being born to heed the call of the LORD, claim an inherent sense of destiny for something greater, or experience something so miraculous, that it had to be from God. Throughout time several individuals or groups have claimed that God told them to act in ways that clearly contradicted the Hebrew ToRaH.

Whether it’s preaching a message on Sunday, choosing a partner to date or marry, asking for money to build a church, starting a camp or sect, or purchasing an expensive plane, home, or car, many people assert that God or the Lord has given His stamp of approval for these decisions. When people in religious circles hear these claims, especially when someone says, “The Lord told me,” they often feel compelled or obligated to believe them, leading many to give money or support the claim. However, when these actions don’t align with the God of Israel’s ToRaH, these decisions or beliefs frequently result in destructive or unethical outcomes.

When things don’t work out, rather than acknowledging their desire didn’t align with the Creator’s ToRaH and taking accountability, people often attribute it to a lack of faith, mistreatment of the said blessing, or claim that God or the Lord decided it wasn’t the right time, leading to the common Christian phrase, “trust the process”, meaning to have faith in God's plan for you. However, if the Creator truly approved the said desire, why didn’t it succeed? After all, the Creator doesn’t make mistakes, and His word does not go out and return void (Deuteronomy 11:26-28, 30:15-16 and Isaiah 55:11). The truth is that the Creator grants everyone free will, never contradicts His ToRaH, and doesn’t interfere with individual choices.

Ultimately, this shows that people are following Christian concepts and attempting to attach them to the God of Israel, who only works within His ToRaH. The Hebrew ToRaH records that all the prophets who did give messages from YaHuWaH (mainly to Israel) were all chosen; they were not destined to automatically follow YaHuWaH. Each prophet had to make personal choices—whether to heed and obey YaHuWaH or to turn away completely and follow something or someone else. The gift of 'FREE will' from YaHuWaH is a constant, and He will never revoke or override it.

MaLAKiY 4:4-6 “Malachi”

4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of YaHuWaH:

6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

MaLAKiY (Malachi) was the final prophet of the Hebrew ToRaH and his name means "My (YaHuWaH's) Messenger". In this final book of the ToRaH, MaLAKiY urges the Hebrews to remember the ToRaH given to Moses, as there would be no more prophets to admonish Israel about ToRaH observance (except for Elijah before the great day of YaHuWaH see Malachi 4:5). From the time of MaLAKiY onward, the responsibility of safeguarding YaHuWaH's ToRaH would fall upon all who followed and shared YaHuWaH's ToRaH.

After the book of MaLAKiY, there is no record of YaHuWaH selecting additional prophets. YaHuWaH's messages were conveyed and established as unchanging, and the unfolding of events are set in motion (AMuWS 3:7 “Amos” and YaShAYaHuW 48:16, 45:19-25 “Isaiah”). This is why the Hebrew ToRaH consistently cautions against following individuals who assert having dreams, visions, or receiving audible instructions from any deity.

YaRaMiYaHuW 23:25-32 “Jeremiah”

25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for BaAL (theLORD).

28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith YaHuWaH.

29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith YaHuWaH; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith YaHuWaH, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith YaHuWaH, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith YaHuWaH, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall NOT profit this people at all, saith YaHuWaH.

YaRaMiYaHuW 29:8 “Jeremiah”

8 For thus saith YaHuWaH of hosts, the ALuWaH of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.


DaBaRiYM 13:1-4 “Deuteronomy”

1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,

2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;

3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for YaHuWaH your ALuWaH proveth you, to know whether ye love YaHuWaH your ALuWaH with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Ye shall walk after YaHuWaH your ALuWaH, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from YaHuWaH your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which YaHuWaH thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;

8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:

DaBaRiYM 18:20

20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in MY NAME, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the NAME OF OTHER GODS, even that prophet shall DIE.


Divine Guidance or Deceptive Promises?

From former Christians since our teen years, we have heard pastors or Christian guest speakers mention that they came by on this SUNday evening because God guided them to share a heavenly message with the congregation. We've also come across Christian pastors who recount having a prophetic dream of prosperity, with the LORD instructing them to convey that the more they give, the greater their blessing will be. As emotionally satisfying as this may sound, it does not align with what YaHuWaH (the Creator of all things) established in His ToRaH.

When we take the time to delve into the Hebrew ToRaH, it becomes evident how YaHuWaH views those who assert, "YaHuWaH showed me in a dream" or "YaHuWaH told me it was OK to do it." Without consulting the ToRaH, such personal experiences often seem to coincide with one's self-interest. Pastors, Christians, and individuals who claim divine communication frequently use phrases like "the LORD/YaHuWaH/God/YaHWeH/Zeus/Jesus/YaHuWShuWA/YaHaWaShi/etc. told me to give you a message" to validate or justify their own worldly desires or opinions based on a dream or auditory experience. In ancient times, YaHuWaH did indeed communicate with His chosen prophets. However, in the contemporary era, the only means to verify such claims is to examine whether the actions of those asserting divine communication align with YaHuWaH's commandments.

Some individuals assert that they convey messages from God, the LORD, or Jesus, and while that may be accurate, it's essential to note that these entities are not YaHuWaH. Across various cultures globally, numerous accounts exist where people report encounters or communications with their respective deities. In Roman Catholicism, for instance, there are many testimonies of individuals witnessing images of Jesus or Mary in food or dreams, especially prevalent in places like the Philippines and Brazil. Similarly, in Bali, many claim to have vivid experiences with Vishnu, a major Hindu deity. Such narratives are not exclusive to specific regions; they extend worldwide, including occurrences in the United States.

Every religion claims that their deity communicated with them or revealed something through a miraculous experience. The Hebrew ToRaH emphasizes the importance of following YaHuWaH's commandments and relying on His guidance found in the ToRaH, or the guidance of His chosen prophets, rather than being swayed solely by signs and wonders. While signs and wonders may occur, the ToRaH cautions against being led astray by them and emphasizes the centrality of obedience to YaHuWaH's instructions.

Deuteronomy 6:16 advises the people of Israel not to test YaHuWaH their God, referencing a previous instance at Massah where they did so. The verse emphasizes trust and obedience to YaHuWaH without demanding signs or proofs, reminding them to follow His commandments faithfully.

In Jeremiah 44:4, YaHuWaH speaks through the prophet Jeremiah, emphasizing that He repeatedly sent His servants, the prophets, to warn the people of Judah about their idolatrous practices and to call them back to obedience to His commandments. The verse states:

Jeremiah 44:4 4 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

Summary of Jeremiah 44:4

In this verse, the God of Israel expresses His concern and frustration over the persistent idolatry of the people. He underscores His proactive approach in sending His chosen prophets to guide and warn them, indicating that He has not remained silent or indifferent to their actions. The phrase “all my servants the prophets” illustrates the abundance of prophetic messages they received, highlighting YaHuWaH’s repeated desire for His people (the Nation of Israel) to turn away from practices that He considers abominable.

Elaboration on "I sent unto you all my servants the prophets"

  1. Divine Communication: The act of sending prophets reflects YaHuWaH's commitment to communicate with His people. It shows that YaHuWaH desires a relationship with them, wanting them to know His will and His expectations.

  2. Repeated Warnings: The phrase emphasizes that the God of Israel did not send just one or two messengers; rather, He sent many prophets over time. This signifies the urgency and importance of the message. The repetition underscores that YaHuWaH's warnings were consistent and persistent, providing ample opportunity for the people to repent.

  3. The Nature of Prophetic Messages: The message of the prophets was clear and direct: they urged the people not to engage in practices that provoked YaHuWaH's anger. The use of the word "abominable" highlights the severity of idolatry in YaHuWaH's eyes, illustrating that these actions were not just minor transgressions but serious offenses that violated the covenant relationship.

  4. Invitation to Repentance: The sending of prophets is also an invitation to repentance. YaHuWaH’s desire was not merely to condemn but to restore His people to a right relationship with Him. The prophets served as intermediaries, calling the people to acknowledge their wrongs and return to the worship of the one true YaHuWaH.

  5. Consequences of Rejection: By rejecting the messages of the prophets, the people chose to continue in their idolatry, which had dire consequences. This choice illustrates a lack of faith and trust in YaHuWaH's wisdom and guidance. Their refusal to heed the warnings ultimately led to their downfall, demonstrating the seriousness of ignoring divine counsel.

In summary, Jeremiah 44:4 underscores YaHuWaH’s relentless pursuit of His people through the sending of prophets, highlighting His desire for their obedience, the seriousness of their idolatry, and the tragic consequences of their rejection of His messages. According to the TaNaKh, Elijah and the branch of Jesse are the only remaining chosen prophets who are yet to arise.

Grounded in Truth: The Unchanging Word of YaHuWaH

It is essential to understand that if John 17:3 or the Nicene Creed had been included in the Hebrew ToRaH, or if the chosen prophets of YaHuWaH had addressed such matters, the narrative might be different. However, these concepts are irrelevant because the foundation of the TaNaKh (the Old Testament) does not instruct us to believe or follow anything resembling this perspective. In fact, the Hebrew prophets explicitly warn against seeking such experiences. Anyone claiming to follow the mighty God of Israel—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (YaHuWaH)—should find this assertion uncontroversial. Conversely, if someone is influenced by alleged manifestations, visions, or audible encounters, it indicates a lack of a solid foundation in the Creator YaHuWaH and His ToRaH. Our trust must be placed in the very words of YaHuWaH, avoiding deception from subjective experiences or desires, no matter how emotionally compelling they may be. Our guidance should be firmly rooted in the unchanging word of YaHuWaH, as established in the Hebrew ToRaH.

YaShAYaHuW 45:5-7 “Isaiah”

5 I am YaHuWaH, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am YaHuWaH, and there is NONE else.

7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I YaHuWaH do all these things.

We understand that the Creator presents us with choices between good and evil, right and wrong, as a test for us to decide. As mentioned throughout our website, YaHuWaH will never take away a person's "free will" because it is a gift from the Creator. The question is whether we will follow our desires that go against the Hebrew ToRaH or trust in YaHuWaH's instructions, aiming for a life of longevity (DaBaRiYM 5:33 “Deuteronomy”). We must consistently be vigilant against presumption when individuals claim, "The LORD or YaHuWaH told me to do this." The critical distinction lies in the fact that authentic Hebrew prophets spoke in alignment with YaHuWaH’s purpose, not their own, and their messages were consistently supported by YaHuWaH’s ToRaH. Their obedience was driven by the intention to give full esteem to YaHuWaH, as they recognized that YaHuWaH was the sole mighty one!

DaBaRiYM 30:19-20 “Deuteronomy”

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 That thou mayest love YaHuWaH thy God, and that thou mayest OBEY HIS VOICE, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him: for He is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which YaHuWaH sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

BIBLE 101:

 

Step 1:

First establish the FACTS of YaHuWaHs commnandments before responding or reacting in emotion.

 

Many churches seldom educate their congregation about the Hebrew ToRaH (Old Testament), which narrates the story and history of the god YiSRAL (Israel) YaHuWaH and the relationship with His chosen people, the Israelites/Hebrews. Due to a lack of fact-checking on the miraculous claims in the Christian New Testament, many Christians may not realize that the religion of Christianity is fundamentally rooted in the Hebrew ToRaH. Without the Hebrew ToRaH as its cornerstone, the religion of Christianity can not exist.

Numerous Christians contend, "Shouldn't you scrutinize the Old Testament as rigorously as the New Testament?" Yet, this argument lacks strength, considering that Christians universally acknowledge the Hebrew ToRaH as the unwavering foundation and authoritative word of the Creator. Therefore, asserting that the Hebrew ToRaH may be wrong while the Christian New Testament is correct, simply because the latter claims to fulfill the former.

If individuals who adhere to the god of YiSRAL (Israel) do not acknowledge that the Hebrew ToRaH serves as the foundation for all English-translated Bibles, affirming the supreme nature of the Creator's unchanging word, and recognizing that no one has the authority to alter it, then further explanation may not be necessary. Disagreeing implies a lack of trust in YaHuWaH's words and commandments. With numerous translations of the scriptures available, choosing where to begin reading the Bible can be challenging. Some pastors and Christians suggest finding a church that aligns with personal preferences, while others collectively emphasize the significance of obtaining any translation of the Christian New Testament. As the saying goes, there are always three sides to a story: your side, their side, and the honest truth.

However, in America, we have predominantly been exposed to a narrative that aligns with the agenda of those in power—individuals who leverage their status to control the dissemination of information and shape the perspectives of the masses to suit their objectives. This has historically been the Western mindset, influencing how scriptures and various standards are perceived. Through deliberate transitions and design, the masses often view things through a singular, biased lens. Stepping away from the traditions of men, including religious practices, church doctrines, and pagan customs, as well as questioning the pervasive use of pagan-infused ideologies in the Bible, allows for a detoxification process and the capacity to gain a deeper understanding of the Hebraic scriptures.

Understanding the Foundations

Before delving into the Western Bible and its various concepts, it's crucial to grasp the foundational truth about the Western Bible. This fundamental fact levels the playing field and empowers our logical thinking minds to distinguish between truth and falsehood. The Hebrew ToRaH states, "And ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart" (YaRaMiYaHuW 29:13 "Jeremiah"). The information presented on this website stems from years of dedicated unbiased research, validation beyond the suggested Christian curriculum, and extensive discussions with pastors, ex-pastors, or individuals with significant experience in Christian theology. The Hebrew ToRaH constitutes a Hebraic narrative about Israel, reflecting their culture and lineage—not European or Latin. The Hebrew TaNaKh documents their foundational lifestyle, allowing us to explore Israel’s historical struggles and their anticipated redemption to their god YaHuWaH. The authors of the Christian New Testament assert that their writings fulfill events prophesied by YaHuWaH's chosen Hebrew prophets in the Hebrew TaNaKh (aka Old Testament).

However, if you haven't taken the time to cross-reference the English translations with the pure Hebrew ThaNaKh to personally discern what was intended to be fulfilled, particularly concerning the messianic requirements of the last MaShiYaCh, how can you be certain that the content in the Christian New Testament aligns with the Creator’s ToRaH? How can you verify if the beliefs and lifestyle guided by the Christian New Testament adhere to the commandments established by the Creator in the ToRaH? While everyone may have their own opinions and perspectives on the Bible, the crucial question is, "What is the opinion and perspective of the Creator?" To ensure you are not deceived or led astray, it's essential to invest the time to discover the truth for yourself. The validity of truth is not determined by a majority vote, so the fact that 2.4 billion Christians may not believe the facts does not make them right.

Merely because only 5000 people trust in the facts does not render them incorrect (YaShAYaHuW 10:21-23 "Isaiah" and YaRaMiYaHuW 23:3-6 "Jeremiah"). It is essential to comprehend that the Hebrew lifestyle and culture underwent significant distortion by the pagan Roman Catholic Empire, resulting in what is now recognized as the Western English Bible, particularly the Christian New Testament. These misguided alterations were made to align with the Roman pagan narrative and establish their newly created organized religion known as Christianity. While various forms of paganism were prevalent in the region during ancient times, this newly formed religion amalgamated all pagan customs and traditions under one banner. The decreed pagan ideologies and traditions were then imposed on various conquered races and nations by the Roman Empire, solidifying their pagan religion as a global superpower. This perpetuated illusory truth effect through subliminal brainwashing has ultimately deceived the entire world into embracing a falsehood.

History is often narrated from the perspective of the conquering and victorious side, and given the immense power of the Roman Empire, its influence pervaded the Christian New Testament, rooted in the culture and lifestyle of the Hebrews from the Old Testament. Upon conducting an impartial study and research on the English-translated Bible, unbiased examination reveals several non-Hebraic ideologies and English words with pagan connotations to various gods (such as the LORD, God, Christ, Jesus, glory, trinity, among others). This alignment is logical considering the Roman Catholic Empire's diverse polycystic population. Additionally, it becomes evident that many Hebrew words, beliefs, and passages from the Old Testament are taken out of their proper context and misinterpreted or misrepresented in the translations of the Christian New Testament.

Understanding that when words or names are translated from one language to another, elements are lost and additions are made doesn't require a quantum physicist, a special "Holy Spirit," or the practice of praying/fasting. The Hebrew ToRaH has undergone translation, not transliteration (which preserves the sound), from Hebrew into English, leading to the loss of the pure meaning behind Hebrew words and names. This is a transgression explicitly warned against by the Creator (DaBaRiYM 4:2, 12:32 "Deuteronomy," and MaShaL 30:5-6 "Proverbs"). Whether driven by pure intention or a hidden agenda, this is why we consistently advocate for a return to the Hebrew ToRaH, freeing individuals from being confined to the translator's interpretation. Keep in mind that the Hebrew ToRaH and the Christian New Testament are distinct books representing two entirely separate cultures and lifestyles.

WHO IS THE SUFFERING SERVANT:

 

Whose stripes?

“and with his stripes, we are healed.” 1 Peter 2:24

 

Altering the history of a race of people removes their cultural truth and adds to someone else’s viewpoint or perception of that culture. As we mentioned before, just because people live in the US and speak English (or live in any other part of the world and speak different languages) DOES NOT give Americans the right to discard, alter, or disrespect a Hebraic nation’s original cultural history (or any other cultures history at that). Christian theology teaches people to associate 1 Peter 2:24, Matthew 27:26, Mark 15:15, and John 19:1 with Jesus being scourged, and that this event was foretold in the Hebrew Old Testament by a prophet of the god of YiSRAL. These are highly popular verses and chapters that followers of Christian theology (those who believe in a Christin New Testament salvific man) use to defend their point of view that Jesus Christ was foretold in the Hebrew Old Testament.

Christian theology has been indoctrinated so deeply into various cultures that people are trained just to follow, swallow, and associate the suffering servant in the Hebrew Old Testament to be the Christian New Testament salvific man. Due to the vast contradictions of the Christian New Testament, various cultures seek to make sense of all the confusion. Whether it be that of the European/Latin Jesus, or a Middle Eastern/black YaHaWaShi/YaHuWShuWA or YeHShuWA, ALL these variants DO NOT line up with the Hebrew Old Testament. Again, altering the history of a race of people is exactly what the Christian New Testament does, it alters the Hebrew culture/history and relationship with THEIR god YaHuWaH and implants THEIR narrative in regards to who they want people to believe is the suffering servant.

By Design Christian theology (followed by 2.7 billion people) was fabricated by the Romans to cater to the masses' emotions (persuasion by power in numbers). This Christianized viewpoint of the suffering servant in the Old Testament has gone unchallenged over the generations, and because Christian theology is so popular worldwide this has caused most to believe they are above reproach regarding who the suffering servant is (again power in numbers because 2.7 billion people can’t be wrong). The emotion attached to the Christian narrative that a demigod suffered, was whipped, took on the sins of mankind, and chose to die a horrible death on a cross (even for people who didn’t care about him) is enough to pull on anyone's heartstrings. The religion of Christianity does a fantastic job of driving emotion and it's no surprise that those who follow Christian theology often avoid hard conversations that clash against this Christian New Testament portrayal of the suffering servant. There are so many deceptive layers to this religion and without a total detox from Christian theology, a person is still conditioned to only go so far and then will become indolent.

Reexamining the Hebrew Context of Salvation

Christian theology conditions its followers to believe that the Hebrew Old Testament is all about the foretelling of a salvific man, however unbiased research continues to prove that in its proper Hebrew context, this is NOT the case. Since we know the Creator established that His chosen anointed son and firstborn is the Nation of Israel (ShaMuWTh 4:22-23 “Exodus”, HuWShuWA 11:1 “Hosea”, ZaMaR 105:1-15 “Psalm”, and ALaPh DaBaR 16:14-22 "1 Chronicle"), the Christian New Testament authors steal the identity of the Nation of Israel (YaHuWaHs son) and implant their narrative of a salvific son or demigod (which is Roman/Greek culture/theology). This makes perfect sense because study and historical research continue to show that a savior or salvific man has always been a belief in pagan culture (10 Dying and Rising Gods before Jesus). Because Christian theology strongly teaches that a salvific demigod has died for the sins of the world, Christians feel they don’t need to change their lifestyle or thought processes to please the Creator because someone has already corrected and is continuing to correct their sin as an advocate for them according to the Christian New Testament authors (Mark 14:62, Luke 22:69).

YaHuWaH’s corrective word (via the Hebrew Old Testament) requires that people must humble themselves, change, and obey. However, those who defend Christian theology proudly dissociate from those who genuinely strive to decrease in self and constantly encourage growth in YaHuWaH’s knowledge and HIS truth (NOT their own). When people harbor what they feel is a personal offense, the result is their alienation of important people who actually love them and help challenge them to grow. Most people think they know the bible because of their many years in church (or they are emotionally close to a family member who is a pastor or missionary), however many are unaware that YaShAYaHuW chapter 53 is the last book of the servant writings from a four-book series. If YaHuWaH did say in the Hebrew Old Testament that he would send a later anointed one to die a brutal death the way the Christian New Testament claims, then it MUST be recorded in the Hebrew script somewhere. A chosen prophet or messenger of YaHuWaH in the Old Testament MUST relay/foretell that message to YiSRAL, that is the very purpose of a messenger or prophet of YaHuWaH. Remember, the religion of Christianity/theology can ONLY exist IF what they claim comes true based on the writings in the Hebrew Old Testament.

FOOLS GOLD

Are you seeking fools’ gold in the Hebrew ToRaH?

 
 
 

RISEN GODS

The Christian New Testament salvific son among other gods throughout history. Christians are given the false narrative that the New Testament salvific son is like no other. Christianity claims that no other god in history was recorded to have risen from the dead like Jesus, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShuWA, YeHShuWA, YaShuA, etc. However, unbiased historical research says otherwise.

 
 

NEVER do we read in the Hebrew ToRaH where YaHuWaH claims that a Christian New Testament messiah (Jesus, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShuWA, YeHShuWA, YaShuA, etc.) was His son. When we use a basic study bible to get more insight on the suffering servant, besides the verses in the Christian New Testament the only cross-reference verse we are given is YaShAYaHuW 53:5-8 (Isaiah). When we (WOTR) took our seven-month deep dive into the Hebrew ToRaH, one of the important things we learned was that there are several books regarding the suffering servant.

Many are unaware that YaShAYaHuW (Isaiah) chapter 53 is the last book of the servant writings/or Psalms from a four-book series. Depending on your English translation, you must always compare those translations against the Hebrew and you must ALWAYS read these chapters and verses in their proper Hebrew context. YaShAYaHuW assumes the reader has already read the first 3 books of the servant writings and the 49th chapter sets the stage for YaShAYaHuW chapter 53.

There is nothing mysterious about YaShAYaHuW 53 when you read it in its proper context, and YaShAYaHuW introduces who this suffering servant is according to YaShAYaHuW (the writer of Isaiah). The Hebrew people are explicitly identified as YaHuWaH's 'servant' in its opening verses (49:3). However cherry picking verses in YaShAYaHuW 53 in an attempt to make it fit a religious narrative, one’s personal agenda or for private interpretation is a violation to YaHuWaH’s commands (DaBaRiYM 4:2, 12:32, “Deuteronomy” and MaShaL 30:5-6 “Proverbs”). YaHuWaH DOES NOT speak in secret, or in a mysterious place or way. HIS word/commands have already been established by way of the Hebrew ToRaH. It’s now up to YiSRAL (His son) to obey HIS words and NOT the words/commands of others who oppose HIS clear and literal instructions.

YaShAYaHuW 45:15-19 “Isaiah”

15 Verily thou art a ALuWHiYM (AKA mighty one/God in English) that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.

16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.

17 But Israel shall be saved in YaHuWaH with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

18 For thus saith YaHuWaH that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am YaHuWaH, and there is NONE else.

19 I have NOT spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I YaHuWaH speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

A NEW COVENANT:

 

Jeremiah 31:31-34

YaHuWaH, will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.

 

Critically Examining the New Testament: Faith, Fear, and the Hebrew ToRaH

Questioning or critically examining the Christian New Testament in light of its foundation, the Hebrew ToRaH, is often discouraged. Although Christians fully agree that the Creator never changes, many believe that the death of the Christian New Testament messiah established a new covenant, which effectively nullified the original covenant made by the Creator, YaHuWaH, for His chosen people, YiSRAL (as referenced in Hebrews 8:6-13, 9:15, Matthew 26:28, Mark 14:24, Luke 22:20).

The Christian religion inadvertently instills guilt in individuals who dare to question their parents, pastors, Christian friends, or loved ones about the various contradictions within the Christian New Testament. This is because our inherent curiosity, given by YaHuWaH, to verify what is being taught may imply a lack of faith in the Christian New Testament messiah, a parent, pastor, or teacher of Christian theology. Fearing potential division and strained relationships, many choose to brush it under the rug, rather than confront these severe issues (as mentioned in Luke 12:49-56, 14:26). After all, Christians are taught to “obey their parents” (Ephesians 6:1-3).

The role of a traditional Christian preacher encompasses interpreting and conveying truth with empathy, compassion, and humility. Their responsibility includes presenting scriptural truths, guiding individuals to uphold YaHuWaH's commandments in their lives, and encouraging lifestyle changes to align with these principles. It is vital for pastors or elders to constantly bear in mind that their message should remain rooted in the word of YaHuWaH, free from personal biases, skewed interpretations, or hidden agendas.

It's worth noting that a pastor or elder is not intended to serve as an intermediary between YaHuWaH and humanity. However, due to their elevated status, some pastors may sometimes mistakenly perceive themselves as beyond reproach, creating a perceived separation from the people they minister to. In accordance with the example set by the New Testament messiah, pastors are meant to be servants, willing to sacrifice for their congregation, much like the New Testament messiah they follow and serve.

This means that a pastor/elder is meant to serve the people and respond humbly to inquiries about why the Christian New Testament appears to conflict with the Hebrew Old Testament (its foundation). If the Creator never instructed YiSRAL to believe in the future death of a demigod on a cross, why does the Christian New Testament assert otherwise? Contemporary churches operate as businesses, constituting a $1.2 trillion dollar industry, and religion-related enterprises contribute an additional $438 billion annually to the US economy.

Many of these organizations adopt a CEO leadership approach, prioritizing compromise over the truth of YaHuWaH's commandments to safeguard people's emotions and financial interests. These business-minded church leaders can be found in churches of all sizes, not limited to corporate megachurches. Embracing a corporate business model aims to maintain high attendance and robust tithing, as it creates a more comfortable environment for churchgoers. After all, nobody enjoys being told they must follow commandments and be accountable for their lifestyle choices before the Creator. However, the idea that "we can't attain perfection, it's all about love, and an innocent human sacrifice was made on a cross to forgive everyone's ongoing intentional sins" tends to be more appealing.

 
 

Considering all these factors, if we opt not to critically examine the various interpretations, perspectives, hidden agendas, and opinions regarding the Christian New Testament against the Creator's commandments in His ToRaH, how can we ascertain if our lifestyle aligns with His commands or with someone else's? Even when a pastor commits to teaching the complete truth, what if the messages conveyed by a pastor/elder, Christian friend, or family member run counter to the Creator's word?

Approximately 2.7 billion people have embraced the narrative that a being, part human and part god—a demigod (rooted in Greek Mythology rather than Hebrew beliefs)—innocently sacrificed himself on a cross to save the world. It is an incredibly powerful story. Unfortunately, this narrative does not align with what the Creator established in the Hebrew ToRaH (aka Old Testament). We comprehend that the Creator's word remains unchanging and consistent, with explicit instructions not to add or remove from His commands.

We are aware that the Creator instituted specific procedures for the forgiveness of both intentional and unintentional sins. In the case of intentional sins, individuals were required to follow specific steps for pardon, such as returning stolen property or providing double restitution. Concerning unintentional sins, the Levites conducted annual animal sacrifices following precise protocols. It is crucial to note that a blood sacrifice was never the exclusive method for forgiving sins (refer to Leviticus 5:11-13).

An innocent human sacrifice is not only deemed an abomination by the Creator, but YaHuWaH actively detests it (Deuteronomy 12:31, 18:10-12, Proverbs 6:16-17, 2 Kings 21:6, Leviticus 18:21-22). Historical research illuminates that rituals involving human blood sacrifices have a long and widespread history, spanning various ancient civilizations. These civilizations, including the Aztecs, Celts, Carthaginians, Moche, Ancient Chinese, and Incas, engaged in ritualistic killings, often involving child sacrifice, motivated by religious or symbolic significance. Moreover, if the forgiveness of sins required an innocent human blood sacrifice, where in the Hebrew ToRaH are the instructions to the Levites provided for conducting such a ritual? The idea of an innocent human blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins is not one of the teachings and practices outlined in the Hebrew ToRaH.

We know the God of Israel YaHuWaH always provided specific and detailed instructions to the Israelites (for example constructing the Ark of the Covenant and building the Ark). The Levites were integral to the sacrificial system in ancient Israel, carrying out the detailed aspects of the offerings under the guidance of the priests. Their duties were outlined meticulously in the ToRaH to ensure the proper execution. Some key examples include:

  1. Burnt Offerings: Leviticus 1 outlines the procedures for burnt offerings. The Levites were responsible for slaughtering the animal, sprinkling its blood on the altar, and burning the entire animal on the altar as an offering to YaHuWaH.

  2. Grain Offerings: Leviticus 2 provides guidelines for grain offerings. The Levites were involved in presenting a portion of the offering on the altar, and the rest was for the priests to consume.

  3. Peace Offerings: Leviticus 3 details the rituals for peace offerings. The Levites played a role in slaughtering the animal, and presenting it to the priests, and portions of the offering were shared among the participants as a communal meal.

  4. Sin Offerings: Leviticus 4 discusses sin offerings, which were intended for unintentional sins. The Levites were involved in various aspects of the sacrifice, including the sprinkling of blood and handling certain parts of the animal.

  5. Guilt Offerings: Leviticus 5 and 7 describe guilt offerings. The Levites participated in the process of offering and presenting the sacrifice to the priests.

So again, if forgiveness of sins required an innocent human blood sacrifice, where in the Hebrew ToRaH are the instructions to the Levites? Moreover, if the Christian New Testament Messiah's primary purpose was to die for the sins of the world and serve as the ultimate final sacrifice, why does Ezekiel 45:22 mention the final Messiah providing a bull as a sin offering for both himself and all the people of the land? The answer is straightforward—according to the Hebrew ToRaH, the genuine end-time Messiah is not depicted as a demigod savior, but as one who, like humans, fears YaHuWaH.

While some claim that the Christian New Testament Messiah served as the ultimate and final sin sacrifice for the world, it's crucial to emphasize that: 1) Nowhere in the Hebrew Old Testament were the Hebrews ever instructed to sacrifice a human to YaHuWaH for sin, 2) Given the Creator's specificity, YaHuWaH never provided instructions to the Levites on how to sacrifice a human for intentional sin, and 3) YaHuWaH did not issue a command for Israel to worship someone who would be born of a virgin, perform miracles and healings, sacrifice himself on a cross, rise in three days, ascend to heaven, and return to earth a third time to gather all Christians (References: 1 Samuel 15:22, Psalm 51:15-17).

It's essential to remember that the Hebrew ToRaH is the Creator’s instructions to HIS chosen people, the Israelites, not Christians. Throughout history, human sacrifice was common among cultures such as the Greeks, Romans, and various pagan societies, but it was not a practice among the Hebrews. When we examine the Hebrew ToRaH in its appropriate context, the timing of the new covenant of peace with Israel was foretold by YaHuWaH, becomes evident.

MORE FACTS

Do your own research and due diligence before attempting to debate against YaHuWaH’s commandments with YOUR emotion, YOUR truth, or passed down lies by those who you hold in high regard.

MaShaL 4:7 "Proverbs"

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with ALL thy getting get understanding.

Proverbs 4:7 advises readers to seek wisdom above all else, emphasizing its importance by stating that wisdom is the principal thing. It encourages individuals to acquire wisdom and understanding, suggesting that they should not forsake wisdom but rather pursue it diligently. This verse underscores the value of wisdom in making sound decisions and navigating life wisely. This verse underscores the value of acquiring understanding alongside wisdom. Understanding involves gaining insights, discernment, and comprehensive knowledge about a matter. It's crucial because it allows individuals to make informed decisions based on facts rather than emotions. Gathering information, seeking clarity, and comprehensively analyzing situations are all essential aspects of acquiring understanding. By doing so, one can approach decision-making with wisdom, ensuring that choices are grounded in knowledge and reason rather than impulsiveness or sentimentality.

Ecclesiastes 12:13

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 This phrase serves as a prelude to the final statement of the author's wisdom. It underscores the importance of paying attention and heeding the final insight that is about to be shared. In the context of the verse, this introduction prepares the reader for the ultimate conclusion regarding life's purpose and meaning, which is revealed in the subsequent statement urging reverence for YaHuWaH and obedience to His commandments. It concludes the book by asserting the ultimate purpose of life: to fear YaHuWaH and keep His commandments. It emphasizes the importance of living in reverence and obedience to the God of Israel, suggesting that this is the essence of human existence. This verse encapsulates the overarching message of Ecclesiastes, urging readers to prioritize their relationship with YaHuWaH and live according to His will.

Considering these scriptures that highlight “getting an understanding”, “hearing the conclusion of the whole matter”, and “keeping the God of Israel’s ToRaH”, it's essential to recognize that in the Christian New Testament, the phrase "Thus saith the Lord (YaHuWaH)" is never recorded as it is in the Hebrew TaNaKh (what Christians call the Old Testament). Instead, the Christian New Testament writers allude to Jesus' teachings and the words of his disciples without employing the phrase "Thus saith YaHuWaH". However, similar concepts to those found in the Hebrew TaNaKh often appear in the teachings and writings of Jesus and the apostles, suggesting to readers that their words are divinely inspired.

The absence of the phrase "Thus saith YaHuWaH" in the Christian New Testament suggests that the teachings and lifestyle of Jesus and his disciples may not have been directly inspired by the God of Israel, as observed in the Hebrew TaNaKh. In the TaNaKh, this phrase precedes prophetic messages and commands directly communicated from YaHuWaH to His chosen prophets. This is made evident by all the various contractions found between the Hebrew TaNaKh, and the Christian New Testament. Here are some instances in the Hebrew TaNaKh where a chosen prophet of the God of Israel said "Thus saith YaHuWaH", making sure to give the Creator esteem (Isaiah 42:8).

  1. Exodus 4:22: "Thus saith YaHuWaH, Israel is my son, even my firstborn."

  2. Joshua 24:2: "Thus saith YaHuWaH God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods."

  3. Judges 6:8: "Thus saith YaHuWaH God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage."

  4. 1 Samuel 2:27: "And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith YaHuWaH, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?"

  5. 1 Kings 11:11: "Wherefore YaHuWaH said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant."

  6. Isaiah 7:7: "Thus saith YaHuWaH God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass."

  7. Jeremiah 9:24: "But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith YaHuWaH."

  8. Isaiah 1:24: "Therefore saith YaHuWaH, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies."

  9. Jeremiah 2:2: "Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith YaHuWaH; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown."

  10. Ezekiel 2:4: "For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith YaHuWaH God."

  11. Amos 1:3: "Thus saith YaHuWaH; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron."

These are just a few examples, as there are many more occurrences throughout the Hebrew Scriptures where the prophets preface their messages with "Thus saith YaHuWaH."

EVEN MORE FACTS:


1. The initial and crucial error individuals often make when attempting to teach or read the Hebrew ToRaH is approaching it with a Westernized mindset, overlooking the cultural context of the Hebrews or Israelites. The ToRaH constitutes the original writings about their culture, lineage, origins, identity, and their ALuWaH ("mighty one" in Hebrew, translated as "god") יהוה YHWH (YaHuWaH). The Hebrew ToRaH conveys the standards given by YaHuWaH for living a separated or QaDaSh (set apart) lifestyle distinct from the pagan masses (gentiles/nations).

It's essential to recognize that the Hebrew ToRaH does not constitute a European, Latin, Roman, or religious book about European people or their culture. The history and the various pagan gods associated with European polytheism can be found in European history/encyclopedia books. If the ToRaH was originally a European text (as commonly believed), there would be no need to translate it from Hebrew into European languages—it would inherently be in their language. Those who neglect the effort to comprehend the Hebraic origins of the ToRaH (which Christianity claims is the foundation of their New Testament) are, in turn, inaccurately reading and teaching YaHuWaH's word.

2. There was NEVER a letter "J"; nor were the consonant letters "V", "E" or "O" in the original ABaRiY language which originated from the Phoenicians and is an abjad (all consonants). Vowel sounds were pronounced in words or names however they were not physically written in abjad languages. The letter "J" is a recent addition to the English language (created 495 years ago by Gian Giorgio Trissino in 1524) and is actually the last addition to the English Alphabet. Originally in the ABaRiY language, the letter "J" is called the Yad (Y). The letter "V" (before its modern re-introduction into Latin) was originally the Hebrew WaW or "W" and is used in Hebrew, as the double letter “W” (consonant) or "uW" (as a vowel), and the Greeks recognized this from the Phoenicians language (where the Greeks and Hebrews got their ALaPhBaT from). The letters "E" and "O" were later added by the Greeks as separate consonants, but in the ABaRiY they NEVER existed. With these undeniable FACTS in mind, we NOW know that the names Jesus, YaHWeH, and JeHoVaH NEVER existed prior to 500 years ago!

3. We know the westernized English bibles (1611, KJV, NKJV, NIV, etc.) were ALL translated from the ABaRiY (aka Hebrew) to Greek. Unbiased research educates us in that the oldest historical Greek papyrus (a plant pressed and dried to write on) on record (in which was used to translate ALL English bibles), NOWHERE is the name Jesus ever-present in those scrolls. This is another 100% irrefutable FACT NO ONE can deny. Once the emotional attachment to misinformation is removed, only then can people deal with the truth, which is, that the Latin name Jesus was NEVER uttered 2000+ years ago.

4. The Christian New Testament, as a complete collection of writings, was not compiled until several centuries after the deaths of the Apostle Paul and other early Christian figures. During the lifetimes of Paul, John, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Jesus, the New Testament did not exist. Therefore, the Hebrew TaNaKh, including the ToRaH from the God of Israel were the primary texts these individuals referred to for guidance and teaching.

YAHUWAH DISCIPLINES HIS SON

 

Deuteronomy 28:68

68 And יהוה shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

 

Divine Discipline: Understanding True Love

In a manner akin to a caring father disciplining his child, the Creator demonstrates a similar approach (Proverbs 3:12, 13:24, 22:15, 29:17). Given that we are created in the likeness of the Creator, this paternal attribute is intrinsic to all of us. No responsible parent would consistently reward a child for disrespect or disobedience, especially when the child's response to correction is a mere "I’m sorry" without genuine change.

Regrettably, in the context of Christianity, there is a prevalent practice of imparting a skewed perception of how the Creator expresses love. This often results in prioritizing the appeasement of followers' emotions over adherence to YaHuWaH's ToRaH for transformation. In such a framework, correction or disagreement is frequently perceived as a personal attack, inconvenience, or an unsupportive stance.

Similar to the Creator, there is a limit to the tolerance one can extend before resorting to disciplinary measures. This might involve grounding, sending the child to their room, or a combination of both. Until the child exhibits true repentance (a change of heart) and verbally acknowledges their disobedience, the patient and loving parent waits for tangible actions demonstrating sincere contrition (Isaiah 55:7).

We recognize that genuine love extends beyond hugs, kisses, gifts, or acquiescing to lifestyle choices that contradict one's beliefs or morals. While standing up for what is right and implementing disciplinary actions may not be popular in today's society, these are substantial expressions of love. Despite its challenging nature, conveying the truth, even when it may cause discomfort, embodies true love. Disagreeing with or not endorsing someone's life choices doesn't imply a lack of love (Proverbs 23:13-14).

Allowing a child unrestricted freedom is not an expression of love; rather, it fosters an unaccountable lifestyle by compromising both the parent's and the child's well-being. For those who choose to obey YaHuWaH, there is a responsibility to establish boundaries for the sake of the child's upbringing and in alignment with YaHuWaH's word (Exodus 20:12, Deuteronomy 5:29, 6:6-7, Isaiah 54:13, Proverbs 1:8-9, 23:13, 29:15).

When examining LuWiYM 19:17-18 in the Hebrew ToRaH (Leviticus), it provides distinct guidance compared to the tenets of Christianity. The passage emphasizes not only the importance of reproving but underscores that when this correction is rooted in the YaHuWaH’s ToRaH, there should be no guilt associated with the reproof, irrespective of concerns about its impact on the relationship.

This approach stands in contrast to instances in the Hebrew ToRaH when Israel engaged in various pagan customs without facing reproving from the Hebrew elders, leading to the perpetuation of these wicked practices across generations. While the subsequent verse in Hosea is widely known, it is crucial to consistently cross-reference English translations with the original Hebrew to gain a comprehensive understanding.

Hosea 4:6 KJV

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.


HuWShuWA 4:6 “Hosea” Hebrew Bible

6 My people is destroyed because of your disobedience, Because you have rejected obedience I reject you as my priest. Because you have spurned the teachings of your ALuWaH I in turn will spurn your children.

Examining HuWShuWA 4:1-3 from the start, we discover a warning about people facing destruction due to the disobedience of the priests, those entrusted with teaching. The Creator brings a case against Israel (YiSRAL), not only for their disobedience to YaHuWaH but also because the appointed priests failed to rebuke or reprove Israel's wicked lifestyle, bearing responsibility for the consequences.

In our modern times, Christians, pastors, and heads of households who know the truth yet refrain from teaching it are mirroring the actions of the priests in disobedience to YaHuWaH. When individuals choose not to impart the words of YaHuWaH established in the Hebrew ToRaH, they deprive their children, friends, and family of the Creator’s truth (Exodus 20:15). Silence often implies compliance, effectively endorsing a persisting pagan holiday and idol/image-worshipping lifestyle contrary to the Creator YaHuWaH.

people get mad at you for sharing truth

rather than get mad at the people who lied to them

 

Numerous scriptures in the ToRaH express the call for the people of Israel to return to YaHuWaH. Here are a few examples:


While it's challenging to provide an exhaustive list of every scripture in the ToRaH where YaHuWaH calls upon Israel to return to Him, here are some notable examples:

  1. Deuteronomy 4:30: "When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, you will return to YaHuWaH your God and obey his voice."

  2. Deuteronomy 30:2: "And when you return to YaHuWaH your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul."

  3. 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

  4. Jeremiah 3:14: "Return, O faithless children, declares YaHuWaH; for I am your master; I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion."

  5. Hosea 14:1: "Return, O Israel, to YaHuWaH your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity."

These verses and many more convey the consistent theme of YaHuWaH's call for His son Israel to return to Him throughout the ToRaH and related books.

the Christian perception of A false prophet

biblically illiterate

There are countless videos on social media that continue to gain popularity discussing what the New Testament teaches about false prophets. With over 200 denominations in the U.S. alone and a staggering 45,000 worldwide, it's clear that Christianity is a fluid, emotion-based religion driven by personal interpretation—often summed up as “your truth.” Because of this, there are numerous varying opinions and theories not only on this topic but many New Testament topics. As we often emphasize, there is nothing wrong with differing opinions; engaging in healthy dialogue allows various perspectives to be shared, examined, and validated. However, it's critical to understand the facts and foundations when it comes to scripture, especially the New Testament.

If people are truly sincere in their love for the Creator, then His unchanging opinion should be the determining factor or measuring stick. After all, who in their right mind would challenge the authoritative ToRaH of the God of Israel and the Creator of all things? As it says in Proverbs 30:6, "Do not add to His words, or He will rebuke you and prove you a liar.”

It is widely acknowledged by both Hebrew and Christian scholars that Christianity, along with its New Testament, is rooted in concepts and prophecies from the Hebrew TaNaKh. Christians also agree that the sacred, unchanging, and divine words of the God of Israel, found in the Torah, form the foundation of their faith. Simply put, you cannot use the New Testament to validate itself—without the Hebrew TaNaKh, Christianity's foundations weaken considerably. Understanding this helps ensure that scriptural interpretation remains grounded in the original teachings and is not swayed by personal or emotional interpretations.

In contrast to the Christian perception of a false prophet as someone who proclaims a message not from God and enriches themselves through deceit, the teachings the God of Israel gave to His chosen people—the nation of Israel, not Christians—offer a different framework. In the Hebrew TaNaKh, a prophet is judged by their adherence to the eternal laws of God, as given to Israel, and their role as a messenger is to call people back to obedience to these laws, not to create new teachings.

It is crucial to highlight that nowhere in the Hebrew Scriptures (TaNaKh) does the God of Israel declare that Jesus is His son. In fact, the nation of Israel is explicitly called God's son. In Exodus 4:22-23, the God of Israel says to Moses:

"Then say to Pharaoh, 'This is what YaHuWaH says: Israel is my firstborn son, and I told you, 'Let my son go, so he may worship me.'"

Likewise, in Hosea 11:1, the text declares:

"When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son."

These verses firmly identify the nation of Israel, not any individual like Jesus, as the "son" of the God of Israel.

The Christian message that people are "biblically illiterate" because they cannot discern lies from truth holds some merit, but the critique should focus more sharply on the fact that most people, including many Christians, are unfamiliar with the Hebrew TaNaKh. The failure to read and understand the foundational texts that God gave to Israel can lead to the grave mistake of following teachings that deviate from His unchanging commandments.

According to the Hebrew Scriptures, God's word is eternal and unchanging (Deuteronomy 4:2, Malachi 3:6). No one, not even Jesus, has the authority to change the divine words given by YaHuWaH to Israel. Deuteronomy 13:1-5 warns that if a prophet or dreamer comes and preaches another message, even if they perform signs and wonders, they must be rejected if they lead people away from the commandments of God. Deuteronomy 6:16 advises the people of Israel not to test YaHuWaH their God, referencing a previous instance at Massah where they did so. The verse emphasizes trust and obedience to YaHuWaH without demanding signs or proofs, reminding them to follow His commandments faithfully. This is a stern reminder that any teaching that alters the ToRaH or introduces new doctrines that contradict the original covenant is considered a grave sin, and those who follow such teachings are at risk of falling prey to a false prophet.

The God of Israel has made it clear that His commandments are eternal, and there are severe consequences for changing or disregarding them. To discern truth from lies, one must return to the Hebrew TaNaKh, compare the original, unchanging words of God, and ensure that no prophet, teaching, or movement—whether Christian or otherwise—changes what is sacred. The risk of following a false prophet is immense when people fail to understand the immutable nature of God's covenant with Israel. This highlights the critical importance of studying the TaNaKh directly and rejecting any message that alters the divine commandments.

New Testament Messiah in Relation to the God of Israel

One frequently asked question, if not the most common, is whether we believe in Jesus/a Christian New Testament messiah. When we assert that trust in Jesus is not a prerequisite for salvation, the ensuing flood of emotional reactions begins. The validity of a narrative is not determined by the sheer number of its adherents, as the agreement of 2.3 billion people does not make it right. Similarly, the disagreement or non-following by one hundred individuals regarding a popular narrative doesn't automatically make them wrong.

Sixty percent of Americans regard their religion's sacred text, specifically the ToRaH, as the word of God, with little to no controversy within most religious groups on this matter. Among Christian New Testament believers, three-quarters affirm that the Hebrew ToRaH is the sacred and unchanging word of God. This sentiment is particularly strong among evangelicals (88%), Mormons (91%), Jehovah’s Witnesses (94%), and various Black Hebrew Israelite camps. In other Christian traditions, smaller majorities hold the view that the Hebrew ToRaH is the word of God.

The ToRaH, again which most New Testament believers agree is the sacred inspired, inerrant word of the Creator and God of Isreal, never says anything about a messianic figure being equivalent to the God of Israel. The ToRaH’s focus is on the foundational teachings and commandments for the Creator’s chosen people the Israelites. The idea that denying a particular messianic figure is equivalent to denying the God of Israel is more closely associated with theological interpretations found in later texts and traditions outside the Hebrew ToRaH.

We recognize the expectation of a final MaShiYaCh from the branch of Jesse. However, the claim by New Testament believers that their ultimate savior was born of a virgin and performed miracles actually disqualifies him per the Hebrew ToRaH. Whether the Christian New Testament Messiah was real or not is irrelevant according to the Creator in the ToRaH (ShaMuWTh 4:22-23 "Exodus”, HuWShuWA 11:1 "Hosea"), furthermore, The specific notion that the branch of Jesse will be worshipped by all and that his worship is required for Israel's salvation is never stated in the Hebrew Scriptures, including the passages referencing the branch of Jesse (Isaiah 11:1-10 and Jeremiah 23:5-6).

The Hebrew ToRaH emphasizes the oneness of YaHuWaH and does not recognize the Christian New Testament Messiah in the same way as Christian theology and various Black Hebrew Israelite camps do. Each religious group or non-religious faction has varying perspectives on the nature of YaHuWaH and messianic figures. However, once again we will always say, “What is the opinion and perspective of the God of Israel?” Nowhere in the Hebrew ToRaH does it state that denying a New Testament Messiah is like denying the God of Israel. This is what is called “lying and adding to the ToRaH” (DaBaRiYM 4:2, 12:32, “Deuteronomy” and MaShaL 6:16-19, 30:5-6 “Proverbs”). It's also important to emphasize the question to all New Testament believers “Where in the Hebrew scriptures is the verse prophesying that this branch of Jesse will experience death?”

The Erosion of Truth in Contemporary Society

In contemporary society, the significance of facts has reached a new low. In the present age, we observe a trend where the significance of reality and truth is consistently minimized, diminished, undervalued, and subject to individual perception. Even influential figures, including leaders, pastors, and parents, are increasingly comfortable shaping the truth to align with whatever they can convince people to believe. Therefore, we pose the question: "Did Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob partake in the belief or worship of Jesus/a New Testament Messiah?"

According to the Hebrew ToRaH which again Christian scholars agree is the very sacred word of the God of Israel, No, they did not. The Hebrew ToRaH explicitly cautions against worshipping any deity other than the mighty one whom Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob revered. The ToRaH highlights the gravity of such a proposition, emphasizing to Israel the importance of staying faithful to the God known by their ancestral lineage. The overarching message is to maintain loyalty to YaHuWaH and avoid being enticed into worshipping unfamiliar deities, whether male or female and emphasize that no intermediary is required.

DaBaRiYM 13:6 “Deuteronomy”

6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

YaHuWShuWA 24:20 “Joshua”

20 If ye forsake YaHuWaH, and serve strange gods, then HE will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

History records that throughout time people from various cultures and religions (including Christianity) have claimed to be a messiah (one ex. Shimon Bar Kochba). Whether it be by themselves or by their followers, many claim to be either a reincarnated messiah or the Second Coming of the Christian New Testament Messiah/Christ. From the 18th Century to the 21st Century, countless people have made this claim (John Nichols Thom, José Luis de Jesús, David Koresh, and Alan John Miller, just to name a few). So many people flocked to and worshiped these men/false prophets, yet the Creator established in the Hebrew ToRaH that His chosen and anointed firstborn son is the Nation of YiSRAL “Israel”, the Hebrew people and not a deified man(ShaMuWTh 4:22-23 “Exodus” and HuWShuWA 11:1 “Hosea”).

Believe it or not, It’s been said that it's acceptable to have images, idols, or symbols of worship just as long as they are of the Creator (which no one has seen ShaMuWTh 33:20 "Exodus" and DaBaRiYM 4:14-15) or that it’s of the Christian New Testament demigod. Many are unaware that the socially accepted image and names of the so-called salvific man in the Christian New Testament contradict the Creator’s words in the original Hebrew ToRaH (AKA here in the West “the Old Testament”), which is where ALL westernized English-translated bibles are based on.

Throughout the Hebrew ToRaH, Israel is warned by way of the Creator’s chosen prophets regarding the worship and esteem of men/women, images, animals, and idols. Yet 2.6 billion people (and various sects) who follow Christian theology boldly contradict YaHuWaH’s authoritative commandants and publish their depiction of a salvific man (ShaMuWTh 20:3-5, 23:24 "Exodus", LuWiYM 26:1 "Leviticus", DaBaRiYM 4:16-19,23 5:8, 7:5,25 27:15 "Deuteronomy", HuWShuWA 11:2 “Hosea”, YaShAYaHuW 10:10, 30:22, 42:8,17 44:10-15, 45:20 "Isaiah", YaChaZaQAL 30:13 “Ezekiel”, MaKhiYaHuW 1:7, 5:13 “Micah”, ZaMaR 78:58, 97:7 "Psalms", YaRaMiYaHuW 8:19, 43:13, 50:2,38 51:17, 47-52 "Jeremiah", ALaPh MaLaKiYM 14:9 “1 Kings“, BaT MaLaKiYM 17:16,41 23:14 “2 Kings”, KhaBQuWQ 2:18 “Habakkuk”, and BaT DaBaR 14:3, 23:17, 34:7, 34:4 “2 Chronicles”).

The essential question that must be posed is this: When the command prohibits the acknowledgment of any other divine entities before the Creator, does Exodus 20:3-5 (ShaMuWTh 20:3-5) extend to include the figure in the Christian New Testament often regarded as a demigod—a concept rooted in Greek mythology, suggesting that an offspring of a god and a mortal is divine? Known in various sects as YeShuWA, YaHuWShuWA, YaHaWaShi, YaHUShA, and so forth.

Examining the facts and evidence reveals a notable absence in the Hebrew ToRaH where YaHuWaH commands Israel to hold in esteem or place their faith in the birth, death, resurrection, and second coming of any individual for salvation. Contrarily, the evidence suggests that the Creator explicitly cautions against subscribing to this ideology. Why? Because, reiterated throughout the Hebrew ToRaH, the Creator unequivocally declares Himself as Israel's sole Rock, forgiver, redeemer, and savior (MaKhiYaHuW 7:18 "Micah", YaShAYaHuW 41:4, 42:8, 43:10-11, 44:6-8, 45:5-6, 55:7 and 18-21, 48:11, 49:26 ”Isaiah”, HuWShuWA 6:6, 13:4 “Hosea”, ZaMaR 86:10, 91:14-16 “Psalms”, BaT ShaMuWAL 22:47 “2 Samuel“). Given that YaHuWaH is Israel's salvation, and redeemer, and had already forgiven them for their idol worship, the Creator, according to HIs perspective, never deemed it necessary to dispatch a sacrificial savior for Israel's deliverance from sin. This is because YaHuWaH has already set forth regulations for the reconciliation of various sins, and none of these ordinances ever mandated the use of the blood of an innocent human (refer to Leviticus 4:1–5:13 and Leviticus 6:1–7).

When we read the Hebrew ToRaH in its proper uncontaminated Hebrew context, we discover that YaHuWaH NEVER did, nor did He need to. In the proper Hebrew context, YaHuWaH (the Creator of life) established that His anointed Son and Firstborn is the nation of YiSRAL. YaHuWaH goes on to establish that YiSRAL would be His chosen people forever, NOT Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc, (ShaMuWTh 4:22-23 “Exodus”, HuWShuWA 11:1 “Hosea”, ZaMaR 105:1-15 “Psalm”, ALaPh DaBaR 16:14-22 "1 Chronicle", and DaBaRiYM 8:5 “Deuteronomy”). The ideology that YiSRAL needed an innocent, human blood sacrifice to forgive their sin is Christian theology and is NOT Hebrew culture nor was it a command that YaHuWaH established.

With the facts laid out in the Hebrew ToRaH, each Christian must reflect upon this question. If Jesus (YaHuWShuWA, YaHaWaShi, YeShuWA, YaShA., etc.) is not the Messiah as Christianity claims, it would have significant implications for their religious beliefs and teachings. Here are some potential consequences:

  1. Impact on Core Theology:

    • The concept of Jesus as the divine Son of God and the Savior would be fundamentally false.

    • The doctrine of the Trinity would have to be reexamined again, as Jesus plays a central role in the Father-Son relationship.

  2. Redemption and Salvation:

    • The idea of Jesus as the atonement for humanity's sins must be redefined or replaced with an alternative understanding of salvation.

  3. Christian Practices and Traditions:

    • Christian sacraments, such as water baptism and the Eucharist, might take on different significance or undergo reinterpretation.

    • Christian liturgy and prayers that reference Jesus as the Messiah would likely be revised or removed.

    • Christmas traditions such as specific customs, events, or festive activities associated with Jesus’ birthday on December 25th, would have to be changed or completely stopped.

  4. Biblical Interpretation:

    • The New Testament, which extensively discusses Jesus as the Messiah, would have to be reinterpreted or recontextualized.

  5. Christian Identity:

    • The identity and mission of the Church have to be reshaped without the central figure of Jesus as the Messiah.

  6. Religious Art and Symbolism:

    • All Christian art, symbols, and iconography often depict Jesus as the Messiah would have to be stopped. Without this central image or an artistic representation, Christianity would cease to exist.

  7. Christian Eschatology:

    • Beliefs about the Second Coming of Christ and the fulfillment of prophecies must be reevaluated or no longer be taught.

  8. Interfaith Relations:

    • Interactions with other Abrahamic religions, particularly Judaism, might be affected, as the Messianic claim is a significant point of difference.

  9. Historical and Cultural Impact:

    • The course of history, especially in terms of the spread of Christianity, the formation of Christian doctrines, and the influence on Western civilization, would likely be different.

  10. Theological Diversity:

    • Various Christian denominations would have developed different theological perspectives, emphasizing alternative aspects of their faith and ways of salvation through a demi-god.

——— Examining the CHRISTIAN New Testament Savior's Role in Creation ———

con·tra·dic·tion

A combination of statements, ideas, or features of a situation that are opposed to one another.

A person, thing, or situation in which inconsistent elements are present.

-the statement of a position opposite to one already established.

Christianity conveys the idea that their New Testament savior existed with the Creator from the outset of creation, as indicated in John 1:1-14. Despite the 45,000 variations of Christianity worldwide, there is a common consensus among Christians regarding this belief. However, the average Christians are seldom urged to explore the Creator's account of the roles played during creation. It is crucial to invest time in reading what the Creator established and to evaluate His viewpoint against any conflicting opinions that contradict His perspective recorded in the Hebrew ToRaH.

Isaiah 44:24

24 Thus saith YaHuWaH, thy redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb, I am YaHuWaH that maketh ALL THINGS; that stretcheth forth the heavens ALONE; that spreadeth abroad the earth BY MYSELF;

YaShAYaHuW 44:24 (Isaiah) emphasizes the sovereignty and creative power of YaHuWaH, stating that He alone created the heavens and the earth, unaided and by Himself. It highlights YaHuWaH's unmatched authority and independence in the act of creating all things.

Isaiah 45:5

5 I am YaHuWaH, and there is NONE else, there is NO God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

Isaiah 45:5 underscores the uniqueness of YaHuWaH, declaring that He is the only ALuWaH (mighty one, or “god” in English) and there is no other besides Him. It emphasizes His exclusive authority and the acknowledgment that He alone is the ultimate and singular divine being. That being stated, the choice is yours—whether to place trust in His established ToRaH or in the words of others who emerged later and contradicted the Creator. Let's look at a few more examples:

Deuteronomy 32:12 describes how the Lord, likened to a caring and protective eagle, led and guided His people, Israel, through the wilderness, supporting them and guarding them with watchful care. The verse highlights the imagery of YaHuWaH's nurturing and safeguarding role in the journey of His son, the Israelites.

Nehemiah 9:6 expresses praise for the greatness, power, and majesty of YaHuWaH, the Creator of heaven and earth. The verse acknowledges that YaHuWaH alone is the source of all creation, highlighting His singular authority and supremacy over everything.

In 2 Kings 19:15, King Hezekiah prays to YaHuWaH in the face of a threat from the Assyrian king. He acknowledges YaHuWaH as the God of Israel, and that He alone created the heavens and the earth.

Jeremiah 49:31 emphasizes a warning of impending disaster for the city of Ararat, attributing the judgment to YaHuWaH alone. The verse underscores the idea that YaHuWaH is the sole orchestrator of the impending events and consequences for the mentioned city.

Psalm 148:13 declares praise to YaHuWaH, emphasizing the uniqueness and supremacy of His name alone. The verse underscores the exclusive honor and esteem attributed to the Creator's name (ShaM H8034 reputation, fame, glory, memorial, name, designation).

———Navigating Life: The Influence of Beliefs, Opinions, and Upbringing———

In the course of our lives, we routinely make decisions guided by our belief systems, the personal opinions of others, our upbringing, or our educational background. Yet, when confronted with unfamiliar information that challenges these foundations, how do we respond? Are we inclined to emotionally dismiss it, just to swiftly cling to our familiar beliefs as a default (MaShaL 18:13 “Proverbs”)? Alternatively, do we take the time to actively seek out this new information, approach it with an impartial mindset, and leave no stone unturned? This thorough exploration ensures that we gather all the puzzle pieces, leading to a well-founded and rational decision rooted in facts, evidence, and truth (MaShaL 4:7 “Proverbs”).

A child cannot confidently ride a bike to the park with friends unless they've been taught. The prospect of falling, getting hurt, or facing humiliation can instill fear of the unknown. Typically, until the child takes the initiative to learn, they may revert to what feels comfortable and familiar, such as skateboarding, walking, taking the bus, or riding as a passenger. Upon learning or being shown how to ride, they often reflect and realize that the fear of the unknown was a significant factor in their initial reluctance to ride a bike.

This analogy extends to processing information that might initially seem intimidating, hurtful, disrespectful, or socially unpopular. The Hebrew ToRaH prohibits the spreading of false reports (Exodus 20:16). Yet, due to a lack of familiarity with the ToRaH, Christians often emotionally react, utter hurtful remarks, and thus sin by spreading false reports about those who sincerely shared the ToRaH out of love. To counter misconceptions, it is crucial to dedicate time to understanding unfamiliar information. Approach it with rationality, relying on facts and evidence, rather than letting emotions dictate understanding.

———A PROPHET, OR DREAMER OF DREAMS———

Matthew 21:10-11

10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

Throughout the Hebrew ToRaH, we are cautioned about heeding false prophets, dreamers of dreams, individuals who perform signs and wonders (even if they come to pass), and those who profess to be healers, or claim to be miracle workers. Deuteronomy 6:16 advises the people of Israel not to test YaHuWaH their God, referencing a previous instance at Massah where they did so. The verse emphasizes trust and obedience to YaHuWaH without demanding signs or proofs, reminding them to follow His commandments faithfully.

The Hebrew ToRaH reminds us that the Creator ALONE is to be worshiped and NOT by way of signs and wonders, lies, pagan traditions, emotion, idols, with an image/similitude of a male or female (DaBaRiYM 4:16 “Deuteronomy”), objects, or statues. Since we (WOTR) have made time to seek out the Creator’s truth in the Hebrew ToRaH, the truth of the Creator is ALL we are going to follow. A few common questions/comments we receive when people come across our social media content are, "Do you believe in the Christian New Testament Messiah (AKA Jesus)?", or, “Is WOTR anti-Jesus Christ?” or “WOTR is a hate group that is against Christians and other cultures”.

With that said, why is it that we (WOTR) don’t believe in the Christian New Testament’s concept of salvation through a man’s sacrificial death regardless of what skin color, name, or race he supposedly was? Is it because we are following the religion of Judaism? Do we believe YaHuWShuWA is not an accurate Hebrew name? Or is it because we hate Jesus, all other cultural beliefs, and Christians who choose to celebrate holidays whose origins are rooted in idol worship?

To those who have engaged in healthy dialogue with us, you fully understand our perspective. However, for those who haven't, let us clarify unequivocally to eliminate any potential confusion. We (WOTR) are anti-lies and pro-truth, and simply put Christian ideology DOES NOT line up with YaHuWaH’s established word in HIS ToRaH. What we (WOTR) are choosing to do is to simply follow the Creator’s truth, and according to YaHuWaHs truth worshiping or giving esteem to ANYONE or ANYTHING other than HIM is idol worship (ShaMuWTh 20:3 "Exodus").

YaRaMiYaHuW 14:14 “Jeremiah”

14 Then YaHuWaH said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in MY NAME: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.


DaBaRiYM 12:30-32 “Deuteronomy”

30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

31 Thou shalt not do so unto YaHuWaH thy God: for every abomination to YaHuWaH, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters, they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

HUMAN SACRIFICE IS AN ABOMINATION:

 

YaRaMiYaHuW 32:35

to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this ABOMINATION, to cause Judah to sin.

 

The Paradox of Sacrifice: Exploring Human Offerings and the Christian Messiah

A human sacrifice is an extreme form of ritualistic offering in which a person is deliberately killed as part of a religious or ceremonial act. Unlike other types of sacrifices that involve animals, objects, or symbolic gestures, human sacrifice involves the intentional taking of a human life. Throughout history, human sacrifices have been practiced in various cultures and civilizations, often with the belief that they would appease gods or spirits, ensure fertility, protect against harm, or achieve other desired outcomes.

If a human sacrifice does not result in the individual's death, it does not align with the conventional definition of sacrifice. The essence of sacrifice, particularly in religious or ceremonial contexts, typically involves the irreversible loss or destruction of the offering. However, beliefs and interpretations surrounding sacrifice vary greatly across cultures, religions, and sects, and what constitutes a valid or effective sacrifice can differ accordingly. Therefore, whether a human sacrifice must result in death to be considered a true sacrifice depends on the specific cultural, religious, and philosophical context in which it is understood and practiced. Christianity, on the other hand, challenges this notion through their New Testament Messiah, who overcame death and was resurrected. This single act nullifies the purpose of his sacrifice.

Human Sacrifice: A Historical Overview and Religious Perspectives

From prehistory to the 21st century, numerous cultures have practiced human sacrifice around the world. Whether to appease their gods or to receive a bountiful harvest, human sacrifices were a common custom in many pagan nations (Aztecs and Mayans in Cozumel). The Syrians and the pagan worshipers of Canaan sacrificed babes and children were buried alive in the foundation posts of buildings. These were standard pagan practices however, these vile and wicked acts were disallowed in the Hebrew culture, and all the prophets of the ThaNaKh condemned this custom. Since the religion of Christianity is pagan, it’s not shocking why this religion forces salvation on people by way of a European demigod’s self-sacrifice. Although this is a fact for many civilizations, in the Hebrew culture human sacrifice is deemed an abomination in the eyes of their ALuWaH (mighty one) of YiSRAL (Israel) YaHuWaH (YaRaMiYaHuW 32:35 “Jeremiah”).

We are reminded in ZaMaR 49:7 (Psalms) that NO ONE can redeem his brother, nor give the Creator a ransom, and DaBaRiYM 10:17 (Deuteronomy) reads that YaHuWaH shows no favor and will NOT take a reward or bribe. Jesus however contradicts YaHuWaH’s words in the Christian New Testament saying otherwise (Matthew 20:28). Scripture states that EVERYONE will account for their own sin and that the innocent CAN NOT die for the wicked. These unchanging words by YaHuWaH in the ThaNaKh are again mocked in the Christian New Testament and are in direct rebellion with the words of the salvific demigod (1 John 2:2, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 5:6-11). We who choose to be set apart and obedient unto YaHuWaH would rather die for the King our rock than accept the implanted lies that the Western world accepts as truth (MaShaL 19:9, 21:6 “Proverbs”).

we even see that mixed marriages (a Hebrew who has sexual conduct with a woman who serves other gods or idols) are also an abomination (MaSPaR 31:15-18 “Numbers”). This was something that YiSRAL was warned about in DaBaRiYM 7:3 (Deuteronomy) and Ezra 10:1-4, 1 Kings 11:1-4). Therefore, all the women who had known a man intimately were to be killed. But ones who had not been connected with the immorality and idolatry of the Midianites could be kept alive. Every male among the little ones also had to be killed. This was harsh but done with the understanding that in Hebrew culture, the boys would have grown into men with the solemn responsibility to avenge their father's death and to perpetuate Midianite culture which in itself was against YaHuWaH’s order.

Don't get it twisted these were NOT human sacrifices but punishment for wicked lifestyles. In the example of YaChaZaQAL 16:35-39 (Ezekiel), YaHuWaH addresses YiSRAL as a harlot like a housewife who is shamed for her sexual acts outside the home. YaHuWaH vowed to humble or even humiliate YiSRAL before her pagan neighbors. All the beauty, adornment, and splendor she once had over all the nations would be stripped away, and everyone would see YiSRALs nakedness without their ALuWaH. YaHuWaH would bring the punishment of death upon YiSRAL for this act. He would not kill the nations completely, but reign death upon them in judgment. YaHuWaH promised to bring this judgment with passion.

THE INNOCENT CAN'T DIE FOR THE WICKED:

not guilty:

innocent, especially of a formal charge.

Innocence and Justice: The Truth of the ToRaH

The Hebrew ToRaH is very clear that the innocent CAN NOT die for the wicked and that shedding innocent blood is an abomination (H8441) unto YaHuWaH (MaShaL 6:16-19 “Proverbs”). The concept of Jesus in the Christian New Testament (2 Corinthians 5:18-21) being without sin, then becoming sin for the wicked and saving everyone is in direct enmity with YaHuWaH’s words in the ToRaH. We know YaHuWaH is a righteous ALuWaH (mighty one) and is waiting for people to ask for forgiveness, and turn from their disobedience and idol worship.

However, unlike the widely emotionally accepted religion of Christianity, the Creator is NOT going to chase us, NO WE must do the work (YaShAYaHuW 55:7 “Isaiah”, BaT DaBaR 7:14 “2 Chronicles”, and ZaMaR 91:14-16 “Psalms”). Against popular Christian belief, the Creator is not manipulating people’s lives. Although the Creator encourages us to choose life He will not override His gift of “FREE WILL”. It is clearly stated in ToRaH that the choice to choose life, death, good, and evil is up to each individual.

DaBaRiYM 30:15-19 “Deuteronomy”

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Christianity on the other hand says “Don’t worry, no need to study for a test because someone was already sent to take the test, and has aced it for you”. This type of mindset is NOT in line with the words of the Creator in the Hebrew ToRaH, and it causes people to become non-accountable, why? Because their Christian New Testament conditions them to believe that Jesus (or -insert various names- of the New Testament Messiah) is on the right hand of the Creator forever interceding for them, even when they intentionally sin.

Romans 8:34

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

This is why Christianity or any religious system that believes in a salvific man is so attractive to the masses. This is because these ideologies condone disobedient lifestyles that go against the Creator’s instructions, all while STILL believing you go to the Christian religion’s heaven when you die. As long as you worship Jesus Christ (or a salvific man) and believe they died for your sins you are forever covered by grace. EVEN when one intentionally sins this salvific man is sitting next to the Creator forever interceding.

As we mentioned before YaHuWaH has proven many times over that this Christian ideology regarding a salvific man being on His right hand is in direct rebellion to His word (YaShAYaHuW 43:11 “Isaiah“, ShaMuWTh 20:3-5 “Exodus”, HuShuWA 13:4 “Hosea”). ALL the benefits that come with severing YaHuWaH are conditional, which means YOU must change because the Creator wants to see you do the work and He takes no joy in destroying people (Ezekiel 33:11). Simply saying I'm sorry but having the full intent on doing it again is not true forgiveness or change of heart (Christianity 101).

YaChaZaQAL 18:20-23 “Ezekiel”

20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son SHALL NOT bear the iniquity of the father, NEITHER SHALL the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.


BaT DaBaR 25:4 “2 Chronicles”

4 But he slew NOT their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where YaHuWaH commanded, saying, The fathers shall NOT die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his OWN sin.

WHO IS THE STRANGER ?

H1616 - gār

a prostelyte, one to chooses to take on the sole culture, characteristics and beliefs of Israel, including serving YaHuWaH alone.

Understanding Justice and Inclusion in the ToRaH

In regards to an innocent person dying due to the wicked actions of their ancestors, there are many religious sects that believe only the melanated people will be the remnant that will be deemed to rule in the messianic age, and that ALL other races will be their servants/slaves. We know the Creator is just, true, and merciful to all who obey His commandments. We also know that a complete change of lifestyle is always required by YaHuWaH to be forgiven or pardoned of sin (YaChaZaQAL 18:21 ”Ezekiel”, HuWShuWA 6:6 “Hosea”, LuWiYM 26:40-42 “Leviticus”).

We read in ShaMuWTh 12:49 (Exodus) and MaSPaR 15:16 (Numbers) that YaHuWaH made specific reservations for a stranger (GaR H1616) even before He gave the commandments to MuWShaH (Moses). Since the English translation of the Hebrew TaNaKh is a barrier to the truth, so many use the English word “stranger” out of context. The Hebrew TaNaKh includes several notable couples that are considered interracial, illustrating that the God of Israel's concern extends beyond ethnic purity. Here are some significant examples:

  1. Moses and Zipporah:

    • Reference: Exodus 2:21; Exodus 18:2

    • Description: Moses married Zipporah, a Midianite woman, highlighting YaHuWaH's acceptance of individuals from outside the Hebrew community.

  2. Joseph and Asenath:

    • Reference: Genesis 41:45

    • Description: Joseph, sold into slavery by his brothers, later became a high-ranking official in Egypt and married Asenath, the daughter of an Egyptian priest.

  3. Rahab and Salmon:

    • Reference: Joshua 2:1; Matthew 1:5

    • Description: Rahab was a Canaanite woman who helped the Israelite spies. She married Salmon and became an ancestor of King David.

  4. Ruth and Boaz:

    • Reference: Book of Ruth

    • Description: Ruth was a Moabite woman who became the wife of Boaz, an Israelite. Their union is significant as Ruth is listed in the genealogy of David.

  5. David and Bathsheba:

    • Reference: 2 Samuel 11:3

    • Description: Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah the Hittite, a Hittite warrior. David's union with her led to the birth of Solomon.

  6. Solomon and Foreign Wives:

    • Reference: 1 Kings 11:1-3

    • Description: Solomon, known for his wisdom, had many foreign wives from various nations, which eventually led him to idolatry.

  7. Hezekiah and the Cushite Woman:

    • Reference: 2 Kings 19:9; Isaiah 37:9

    • Description: Hezekiah, king of Judah, is mentioned to have dealt with a Cushite (Ethiopian) in his reign.

These examples illustrate that the God of Israel included individuals from various backgrounds and nations within His plan. The TaNaKh emphasizes faithfulness and obedience to YaHuWaH's ToRaH (commandments) over ethnic lineage, showing that His love and mercy extend to all who choose to follow Him.

Understanding Inter-Cultural Marriages in the Hebrew TaNaKh

The Hebrew TaNaKh (aka Old Testament) commanded the Israelites not to engage in inter-cultural marriage with a stranger (DaBaRiYM 7:3-4 “Deuteronomy”). However, the reason for this command was not skin color, race, or ethnicity. Instead, it was due to pagan idol belief. YaHuWaH commanded against inter-cultural marriage regarding Israel because the people of the surrounding nations were worshipers of false gods and idols. The Hebrew TaNaKh is very clear in DaBaRiYM 13 (Deuteronomy) and MaShaL 28:9 (Proverbs) regarding “marrying” (or in Hebrew culture, taking on a man or woman) an idol worshiper, pagan, or heathen. Taking on a man or woman from these types of cultures would risk leading Israel away from YaHuWaH, and His ToRaH, and potentially toward false worship. This is precisely what happened in MaLAKiY 2:11 (Malachi) and with King Solomon (ALaPh ALuWHiYM 11 (1 Kings).

YaHuWaH refers to the stranger, or GaR—someone who chooses to leave their native culture to live among the Israelites, adopt their lifestyle, and serve YaHuWaH exclusively—as a servant equal to a homeborn Hebrew (ShaMuWTh 12:49, 22:21, 23:9 "Exodus", LuWiYM 19:33-34, 25:35-47 “Leviticus”, MaSPaR 9:14, 15:14-16,26-29 "Numbers", and DaBaRiYM 10:19 “Deuteronomy”). Israel is commanded many times in the Hebrew TaNaKh by YaHuWaH to treat a GaR as a homeborn (YaChaZaQAL 47:21-23 “Ezekiel”). So this means that anyone (man, female, regardless of skin color, race, or creed) who leaves the false idol worship of their ancestors and changes their lifestyle to join Israel, they are fit to marry. Why, because YaHuWaH sees the stranger (GaR) as Israel. If YaHuWaH thought that other cultures were so vile or wicked and were beyond giving forgiveness, why would the Creator specifically use a stranger (GaR) compellingly?

Abraham is a perfect example of one who came from an idol-worshipping background and culture. The Hebrew TaNaKh lets us know that Abraham's parents worshipped other gods (YaHuWShuWA 24:2 “Joshua”). What about Cyrus (H3566), he was a foreigner/stranger/non-Hebrew Persian Emperor that YaHuWaH labeled "His shepherd" and "His anointed", and was used as a messiah (one who is anointed for the purpose of YaHuWaH) to liberate YaHuWDaH/Judah (YaShAYahuW 44:23-28, 45:1-13 “Isaiah”, Ezra 1:1-4, and BaT DaBaR 36:22-23 “2 Chronicles”).

DEATH AND HELL

Ezekiel 18:21

21 But if the wicked WILL TURN from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep ALL my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall NOT die.

Death and Divine Judgment in the Hebrew ToRaH

This might be surprising to many, but those who have delved into the foundational instructions for the nation of Israel (the Hebrew ToRaH, or what Christians refer to as the Old Testament) fully understand that occurrences of death from the Creator are documented numerous times in ToRaH. The Hebrew ToRaH highlights various instances where YaHuWaH directly brought about the deaths of individuals, including children.

Whether through a flood (Genesis 7:21), brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24-25), or by the army of Israel (1 Samuel 15:3), it is reasonable to conclude that many children, infants, and animals perished in the destruction. One noteworthy example is the city of Jericho (H3405 Hebrew: ירחו, YaRaKuW), which means "its moon." Yarikhu (Yarikh) is a moon god in the Canaanite religion, and Jericho was the center of its worship. YaHuWaH gave YaHuWShuWA son of NuWN (Joshua) a direct command to destroy entire populations, including children, in Canaan (Joshua 6:20-21). It is evident in the Torah that there are instances where YaHuWaH condoned, ordered, and/or caused the death of pagan nations.

The destruction of Jericho is presented as YaHuWaH's promise for His son the Israelites to possess the land. In this account (among others), the destruction is described as a consequence of the people's actions, including engaging in idolatry and practices deemed as morally corrupt. The Hebrew ToRaH presents this event within the context of divine judgment and the fulfillment of YaHuWaH's promise to His son the Israelites to possess the land.

Many argue that YaHuWaH contradicts His own word, contending that a benevolent God wouldn't cause harm to a child. This dichotomy leads many to perceive the god of the Old Testament as the stern enforcer of discipline and the God of the New Testament as a forever compassionate, loving deity even when in constant sin. However, it's crucial to comprehend that YaHuWaH's thoughts, ways, purpose, and order surpass human understanding (Isaiah 55:8-13). Even when the Creator's actions may appear devoid of love to some, YaHuWaH maintains a just and merciful nature (Isaiah 30:18, Psalm 145:17, Deuteronomy 32:4, Job 1:21).

Understanding Compassionate Choices

The error lies in the assumption that the death of a child is invariably evil in all circumstances. Choosing to remove a person from life support when confronted with an irreversible condition and enduring daily suffering is regarded as a compassionate decision and not evil. It upholds the individual's dignity and autonomy, recognizing the irreversible nature of their condition and permitting them to pass away with dignity.

Those of us who uphold the ToRaH of YaHuWaH strive for the life to come, recognizing that one day, everyone will inevitably face mortality. Consider Methuselah, who lived for nine hundred sixty-nine years, yet eventually, he too experienced death (Genesis 5:27). The fear of death is pervasive in Western culture especially in religion, making the belief in a salvific figure widely embraced as a means to avoid hell—an understandable concern. This fear-driven strategy is not exclusive, as many religions, sects, and ministries worldwide use fear to assert that non-belief in their particular movement or their god-designated leader results in hell or some form of discomfort after death (2nd Timothy 2:12).

Consistently, we've underscored that the ancient Hebrew culture was a way of life, and their lifestyle fundamentally differed from religion. Similar to a healthy interaction between a father and his son, their relationship is not a religion. A compassionate father would never condemn his son to an eternal place of torment, especially when the son chooses to consistently show love and respect, have true remorse, be obedient, and be dedicated to lifestyle changes that align with the father's guidance and wisdom in their relationship. Likewise, this applies to the God of Israel, YaHuWaH, and His firstborn and anointed son, the nation of Israel (Exodus 4:22, and Hosea 11:1).

A thorough examination of the Hebrew ToRaH reveals a complete absence of any concept resembling hell or an eternal place of torment. While the ToRaH does present various threats or dangers to prompt YiSRAL to repent and return to YaHuWaH (Isaiah 55:7), the Christian notion of hell is completely absent in the ToRaH. In its proper context, the Hebrew ToRaH records consequences like a cessation of rain for unfaithfulness (Deuteronomy 11:17, 28:12), or temporary expulsion from the land followed by restoration (Jeremiah 29:10).

The Christian New Testament on the other hand asserts that disloyalty to god through their New Testament messiah leads people to hell/the lake of fire (2nd Timothy 2:12, 2 Thessalonians 1:8, Matthew 10:28, 13:50, 25:41,46, John 3:16-18, Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:10), while loyalty ensures entry into heaven (Philippians 3:20-21, John 3:16, 4:2, 2 Corinthians 5:8, Luke 23:39-43, 1 Peter 1:3-5, 2 Peter 3:13). Notably, the contrast between these divergent concepts lies in their verifiability. The Hebrew ToRaH touches on the afterlife and YaHuWaH’s resurrection of the whole house of Israel (Ezekiel 37), however, these references are never presented as threats or a punishment (Daniel 12:2, Isaiah 26:19, Psalms 16:10, 49:10,15, 71:20, Ezekiel 37:7-10,12). Despite various religious doctrines emphasizing the consequences after death, the ToRaH distinguishes itself by offering verifiable outcomes rather than relying on unproven threats.

Throughout the Hebrew ToRaH, we encounter the outcomes of Israel's disobedience and unfaithfulness. Whether it's a decline in prosperity, defeat by enemies, exile, or the experience of disease and suffering, all these consequences occurred to Israel and were explicitly outlined in DaBaRiYM 28 (Deuteronomy). It's essential to emphasize that in Deuteronomy 28, the Christian concept of going to hell upon death is not presented as a curse or consequence for disloyalty to the God of Israel. Furthermore, the concept of a holy city descending from YaHuWaH, as described in Revelation 21, is never mentioned in the Hebrew ToRaH. The detailed imagery of the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven is primarily found in the Christian New Testament. This vision is part of the apocalyptic literature in the Christian New Testament, and its roots are not directly traced back to the Hebrew ToRaH but rather to later writings in the Christian scriptures.

MaLAKiY 3:6 “Malachi”

6 For I am YaHuWaH, I CHANGE NOT; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

YaShAYaHuW 55:11 “Isaiah”

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

FORGIVENESS

YaHuWaH alone saves

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore WILL I deliver him: I WILL set him on high, because he hath known MY NAME.

15 He shall call upon me, and I WILL answer him: I WILL be with him in trouble; I WILL DELIVER him, and honour him.

Forgiveness: the action or process of forgiving

Throughout the Hebrew TaNaKh, the God of Israel highlights His desire for repentance rather than punishment (Ezekiel 33:1, Jeremiah 18:7-8, Joel 2:12-13, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalm 86:5 Ezekiel 18:23, 33:1, Micah 7:18-19 and Lamentations 3:22-23). Many Christians are taught to view the God of Israel in the Old Testament as a strict or harsh deity. However, what isn’t taught is that several non-Hebrew nations received grace and warnings from the God of Israel before facing judgment, often through prophets or extended periods of leniency. Nineveh, Egypt, Canaanite Nations, Babylon, and Edom are just a few. These examples show that YaHuWaH’s character included patience and grace toward many nations beyond Israel, offering warnings and opportunities for repentance before bringing judgment.

We know the Creator stated that He is willing and ready to forgive people when they choose to TURN solely back to Him (YaChaZaQAL 18:21 ”Ezekiel”, YaShAYaHuW 43:25, 55:6-7 ”Isaiah”, HuWShuWA 6:6 “Hosea”, LuWiYM 26:40-42 "Leviticus"). In reading the Hebrew Torah, we see that Israel is commanded to return to their Mighty One, YaHuWaH, and nowhere does it command that this must be done through a Christian New Testament messiah. According to the first commandment, doing so would be idol worship (Exodus 20:1-3).

Exodus 20:1-3

20 And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am YaHuWaH thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have NO OTHER gods before me.

This commandment, the first of the Ten Commandments, underscores the exclusivity of worship owed to the God of Israel, YaHuWaH, affirming that no other gods or deities should come before or be placed alongside Him in worship or reverence. It establishes that Israel’s allegiance must be singular and undivided, fully dedicated to YaHuWaH, setting a foundation for their identity and covenant relationship with Him. However, the religion of Christianity and its New Testament attempts to change the God of Israel’s ToRaH by placing a mediator between the creation and the Creator (aka Jesus, YeShuWA, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShuWA, YaShA, etc,).

YaHuWaH says He will give His esteem over to NO ONE, and this includes the deified/demigod messiah in the New Testament (YaShAYaHuW 42:8 “Isaiah”). Many sects today believe that ONLY the pure-blood Israelites will be forgiven, saved/rescued, and will receive an inheritance in the Messianic Kingdom. However, in ShaMuWTh 12:43-51 (Exodus) and YaShAYaHuW 56:6-8 (Isaiah), we read that YaHuWaH made provisions for the strangers (H1616 “GaR”, those who choose to become Israel and serve YaHuWaH alone) before the 10 commandments were given to MuWShaH (Moses).

HuWShuWA 14:2-3 ”Hosea” Hebrew ToRaH

 

HuWShuWA 14:2-3 Artscroll English ThaNaKh

When we read this same verse of scripture in ArtScroll Hebrew TaNaKh, we get a much richer explanation. By removing the following Hebrew ToRaH key phrase “instead of bulls we will pay the offering of our lips” in the NKJ and KJV translated bibles, the real meaning of what the prophet HuWShuWA is trying to convey is hidden. This misleading translation is to further Christian theology which holds that Jesus’ blood (an innocent sacrifice) substituted for the blood of bulls. We find another instance where HuWShuWA is again reminding YiSRAL that a time will come when they won’t have a king, Hebrew elders, Levites, or a sacrifice.

Against popular Christian belief, the Hebrew TaNaKh clearly emphasizes that anyone can be forgiven and saved/rescued, without the need for the blood of a New Testament savior. We didn’t say that, the ToRaH from the God Israel did. Stop all Idol worship by way of mediators, return to the God of Israel, serve Him alone, and obey His commandments.

THE FINAL MASHIYACH

War STILL happens today

4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Contrasting Messianic Expectations: Hebrew ToRaH vs. Christian Doctrine

Both the Hebrew ToRaH and the religion of Christianity prophesy the coming of MaShiYaCh. According to the Hebrew ToRaH, considered by New Testament believers as their foundation and sacred text, this individual is yet to arrive. Conversely, Christianity asserts that their ultimate MaShiYaCh has already come and fulfilled ToRaH prophecies by dying on a cross. With 45,000 denominations of Christianity worldwide, it's evident that even within that religion itself, there exists confusion of doctrine which is clearly influenced by emotion and subject to personal interpretation.

Even though the ToRaH specifically outlines that the final MaShiYaCh will be a normal human (not deified) and will have the pivotal role of rebuking nations, putting an end to all war, and leading all nations to call on the name of the God of Israel YaHuWaH in a unified consent (Isaiah 2:4, Micah 4:3, Zephaniah 3:9), Christianity consistently demonstrates that it’s New Testament teachings are in fact not a continuation of the Hebrew ToRaH but an entirely separate book altogether.

In moments of uncertainty or confusion about scripture and its established unchanging principles, it is imperative to turn to the prophets selected by the God of Israel, YaHuWaH. Since there is a unanimous acknowledgment that these Hebrews were chosen to convey the Creator's sacred ToRaH (Israel’s instructions and guidance), then these are the individuals whose guidance we should follow, similar to how YaHuWShuWA, son of NuWN, is emphasized in Exodus 23:20-33.

The Creator's purpose for the final MaShiYaCh

As people who were once devout Christians, it's noteworthy that the average Christian is rarely encouraged to read the Hebrew ToRaH in its proper context without influence and use of their Christianized glasses (additions and subtractions). If they were to do so, many would reconsider their allegiance to Christianity. Many Christians are unaware that the Hebrew TaNaKh not only specifies who the final MaShiYaCh will be, but also states that he will have sons, possess the land, have servants, and offer sinful sacrifices for himself and the nation of Israel.

The survival of Christianity relies on the ignorance of its followers, so they encourage new converts to start reading the book of John in the New Testament. They teach that the Hebrew TaNaKh is old and done away with because, through the New Testament Messiah, it has all changed into something new and better. The psychological impact of the word "old" depends on the individual, their personal experiences, and cultural backgrounds. However in a general sense “old” is associated with decline, deterioration, aging, or no longer useful.

Modern cell phones evolved from the foundational concepts established by the first mobile phone, developed in 1983 by Motorola. Although today’s smartphones are far more advanced, many core concepts from the original cell phone have been retained. The original cell phone served as the foundation upon which all subsequent mobile phone innovations were built. Simply put, without the first cell phone, modern cell phone technology wouldn't exist.

 
 

Challenging the New Testament: Unveiling the Unchanging Truth of YaHuWaH’s ToRaH

Anything true in the New Testament isn't new, and everything new in the Christian New Testament isn’t true. This is because the Creator established His ToRaH is unchanging (Malachi 3:6 and Numbers 23:19) and His word doesn't go out and come back void (Isaiah 55:11). Christian leaders are fully aware that endorsing the reading of Isaiah 11 (one book in ToRaH of many) could accelerate the decline of their cherished religion.

Isaiah 11 envisions a future Messianic era where a righteous ruler, descended from the line of Jesse (the father of King David), leads with wisdom and justice. This leader is filled with the RuWaCh of YaHuWaH, endowing him with wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and fear (respect, reverence) of YaHuWaH. The chapter describes a peaceful kingdom where predators like the wolf and the lion coexist peacefully with their prey, symbolizing universal harmony and the end of predatory violence.

In this vision, there is a worldwide knowledge of the God of Israel YaHuWaH, and this MaShiYaCh from the root of Jesse becomes a rallying point for all nations. A vivid picture is painted that YaHuWaH' will regather and restore a remnant of Israel, bringing them back from various regions where they had been scattered. This regathering of Israel is part of YaHuWaH's promise and initiates the time of restoration and blessing for His chosen people Israel.

The gentleness and righteousness of this ruler bring about a transformative peace, where war ceases, and weapons are turned into tools of agriculture. As a result this profoundly changes the nature of all humanity, leading to a world free from conflict and violence.

Isaiah 11 ultimately portrays a future where the righteous reign of the Messianic figure brings about lasting peace, transforming the relationships between humans and even between animals. The vision is one of universal harmony and a departure from the strife and warfare that characterize the present reality.

Isaiah 11 never records that this final MaShiYaCh would be deified or would die on a cross, but in fact, will reign forever. Daniel 7:13 in the Hebrew ToRaH depicts a visionary scene where Daniel sees one like a "son of man" coming with the clouds of heaven. This "son of man" is then given authority, dominion, and an everlasting kingdom. The imagery in this verse is universally agreed among Christian and Hebrew scholars to be a Messianic prophecy, symbolizing the future reign and authority of the final MaShiYaCh.

The ToRaH explicitly states that the final MaShiYaCh will be a "son of man" (ANaSh H606 - man, mankind, human being, the Root word is H582 mortal man), distinct from the intentional narrative of the Christian New Testament that seeks to emphasize Jesus's divinity as the "son of God." This aligns with Isaiah 11, portraying the final MaShiYaCh as a Branch, a descendant rooted in Israel—a human conceived through conventional means, not through divine conception (by a Holy Spirit).

When we dedicate time to delve into the origins of the Bible from the Hebrew ToRaH, we gain insight into their culture and linguistic nuances. In contrast to English, the Hebrew word MaShiYaCh (H4899) does not carry the meaning of savior, miracle worker, divine or deified one, or healer. Within the 39 occurrences of MaShiYaCh in the Hebrew ToRaH, 36 are accurately translated as anointed. However, in two instances (DaNiYAL 9:25-26, 'Daniel'), H4899 has been incorrectly translated as “messiah”.

Unlocking Contextual Understanding

It is essential to dedicate time to understanding the meanings of Hebrew words in their appropriate contexts. Consider the English word "god," which translates to H430 ALuWHiYM in Hebrew, simply signifying "a mighty one." In Exodus 7:1, the Hebrew ToRaH states that YaHuWaH appointed MuWShaH (Moses) as a mighty one before Pharaoh. However, interpreting this verse from a Western perspective can lead to a misunderstanding of its proper context. In the Hebrew ToRaH, besides Moses, other individuals were referred to as ALuWHiYM’s or "god" which included judges and rulers. The below instances highlight the use of the term "god" or ALuWHiYM in a more general sense to denote individuals in positions of authority or divine representation from YaHuWaH.

  1. Judges: In Psalm 82:6, judges are addressed as "gods" (ALuWHiYM) when they exercise authority and make judgments.

  2. Samuel: In 1 Samuel 28:13, the spirit of Samuel, after being summoned by the medium of Endor, refers to himself as a "mighty one" (ALuWHiYM).

Due to the distinct nature of the Hebrew language compared to Western languages, the Hebrew word MaShiYaCh in the Christian New Testament is frequently removed from its authentic Hebrew context. In Western culture, the terms "Messiah" or "Christ" often evoke a specific association with a salvific miracle-working figure in the Christian New Testament. This conditioning leads many adherents of Christian theology to cite Daniel 9 as a solid defense in support of their belief in their salvific figure Jesus.

In Hebrew, a MaShiYaCh simply denotes an "anointed one," and various individuals in the Hebrew ToRaH held this designation. Figures like King David, several priests, and others were all considered MaShiYaChs. Even Cyrus, a non-Israelite/gentile King of Persia who was not acquainted with YaHuWaH, was anointed by the God of Israel YaHuWaH and set apart for a specific role (Isaiah 45:1-13, Ezra 1:1-3). Viewing this in its authentic Hebrew context reveals its unrelated nature to the miracle-working, salvific figure in the Christian New Testament. Taking the time to carefully examine the Hebrew ToRaH in its proper perspective clarifies the matter. Daniel's prayer (Daniel 9:23-25) was for the end of Hebrew exile and the return to Jerusalem, which was fulfilled by the MaShiYaCH Cyrus, King of Persia.

The anointed MaShiYaCH, Prince, or King Cyrus instructs the Hebrews in Babylon to return to Jerusalem and reconstruct their temple, as recounted in Ezra 1:1-3. King Cyrus explicitly orders the restoration of the temple of YaHuWaH. The Creator commands against additions or omissions (Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:32, Proverbs 30:5-6), yet the Christian New Testament introduces various plot elements that are not originally present.

As we proceed with the reading, Daniel 9:26 indicates that the Messiah will be cut off, but not the anointed prince. This reference, occurring many years later, pertains to the priests from the tribe of Levi who were severed due to Roman actions, as elaborated in verse 27. In verse 26, it is mentioned that the people of the prince (the ruler of Rome) will come to destroy the city and the sanctuary/second temple (Siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE). Verse 27 further states that all sacrifices and meal offerings are to cease because the set-apart place chosen by YaHuWaH (the second temple) was destroyed.

Another instance of the Hebrew word MaShiYaCh is found in 1 Chronicles 16:14-22, where YaHuWaH commands that no one should touch or harm His anointed ones, referring to His firstborn son, the Nation of YiSRAL. Besides Solomon, and in the Hebrew ToRaH context, the term "son" is applied to Israel as a collective entity. The nation of Israel is referred to as the "son" and "firstborn" of the God of Israel YaHuWaH.

ZaMaR 105:15 “Psalms”

15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.


ALaPh DaBaR 16:12-22 “1 Chronicles”

22 Do not touch My anointed ones, do not harm My prophets.

ShaMuWTh 4:22 “Exodus”

22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith YaHuWaH, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

Hosea 11:1

11 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

THE MASHIYACH CODE

A Pastors calling

A Pastor is charged to present biblical truth while commanding people to hear, believe, and obey YaHuWaH’s commands. They are serve people, preach the Word of the Creator, and to restrain THEIR preferences and opinions.

Unmasking Deception: The Misleading Role of Christian Pastors

There are numerous layers of deception within Christianity, and unfortunately, many people don't fully comprehend just how deep it runs. Because the majority of sermons from church pulpits go unchallenged, these layers of falsehood have gradually become accepted as truth. Preachers are supposedly tasked with interpreting and proclaiming scripture with sympathy, compassion, and humility, largely due to their extensive schooling in both the Hebrew Old Testament and the Christian New Testament.

A pastor is entrusted with the responsibility of presenting biblical truth, calling people to hear, believe, and obey YaHuWaH's commands. Pastors must ensure that their teachings are strictly based on the Word of YaHuWaH, without injecting personal preferences or selfish agendas. Their role is to serve YaHuWaH's by sharing His ToRaH while keeping their own opinions in check. However, it’s evident that most Christian pastors do not follow this principle. Many people are under the misconception that they must rely on pastors to interpret the scriptures for them, believing they lack the education to understand it themselves. Unfortunately, this is far from true. If we dismiss a pastor’s teachings, how will people discern what is truth and what are lies concerning the so-called Christian New Testament savior?

The Christian assertion that their New Testament savior was the Messiah prophesied in the Hebrew TaNaKh is something that can be easily verified. However, due to the widespread misinformation stemming from the teachings of various Christian pastors, what should be straightforward can become incredibly confusing. Many things in the world have started with simple, humble origins but have evolved into something entirely different over time.

Cheat Codes: The Evolution of Video Games and Gaming Strategy

Consider video game consoles—what began in the 1980s as a modest introduction to home gaming rapidly transformed into a global phenomenon. What started in 1958 as a very simple entertaining tennis game to pass the time, has now evolved into a more fully immersive environmental experience. Due to its overwhelming popularity over the years, video game developers are constantly programming more challenging games to please the forever-growing appetite of video gamers.

A big part of video game development is the testing process, and various alphanumeric codes or keyboard/directional combinations are programmed or coded into the games for this specific purpose of testing. These various codes are not generally made known to the public, however, when leaked they are referred to as “cheat codes”. A cheat code is generally a code (of letters, numbers, or a combination of both), or a specific combination of buttons that are entered in a specific sequence by a user to give them an advantage. Whether it’s to beat a specific stage, defeat the level boss, or get other special powers and benefits, a cheat code allows players to beat the most difficult of programmed levels in video games.

The same principle applies when trying to navigate English-translated Bibles. What began as a clear and specific set of instructions from the Creator to His chosen people, Israel, has now evolved into a complex and often contradictory book, difficult for many to grasp. When you study the Hebrew TaNaKh and compare it to the Christian New Testament, you’ll find that YaHuWaH’s commands to Israel in the TaNaKh are straightforward and precise (Proverbs 30:5-6).

From the Hebrew perspective, the TaNaKh contains no hidden or cryptic codes, no predictions of a sacrificial figure, nor any need to force Christological interpretations onto the text. Historical evidence from ancient manuscripts supports the clear message of the Hebrew TaNaKh. One example is the Moabite Stone (circa 840 BCE), an inscription from King Mesha of Moab that references YiSRAL and their god, YaHuWaH, offering solid historical validation of the Hebrew text for those seeking valid sources other than the Hebrew TaNaKh.

ANGEL OF THE LORD

MaLAK:

despatch as a deputy, a messenger, representative specifically of YaHuWaH.

The saying “angel of the LORD” is used in various places throughout the Old Testament, however, the English word “angel” has been misinterpreted and used out of its Hebrew context in Western culture. When we look at the English definition of the word “angel”, we read it’s a spiritual being/guardian serving as an intermediary and one who is of lower rank in the celestial hierarchy. We also know that this word angel is NOT of Hebrew origin but in fact is an Anglo/Latin translation of the Greek word Angelos (G32) meaning: a messenger, or one who is sent. It is common knowledge that the Christian New Testament is based on the Hebrew Old Testament.

This is why we always encourage anyone who wants to get a better overstanding of the bible to 1) always go back to the Hebrew origins and 2) to go look for yourself. Without taking the time to look at the scriptures from the Hebrew perspective (untainted by Christian Theology) you most likely will misinterpret what is being conveyed. This is because the Hebrew language is not like the conventional Western language. Hebrew words and terms are used VERY differently, and unlike in English, a mere mortal would NEVER be called a god. However, in Hebrew, this form of language is used very often when referring to a prophet of YaHuWaH. We see this in ShaMuWTh 7:1 (Exodus) when MuWShaH (Moses) is referred to as a god.

Exodus 7:1 KJV

7 And YaHuWaH said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

ShaMuWTh 7:1 Hebrew ToRaH

Etymology Word Origin

There are serval verses in the Hebrew ToRaH that are violently taken out of context in the Christian New Testament. Whether it was done to cause confusion or to support the Christian theology that the ThaNaKh foretold the coming of a salvific man, various religious cultures/sects/groups have always altered the Hebrew ThaNaKh for their gain. One extremely popular verse in ThaNaKh that Christians use to force salvation on people by way of believing in a man’s death is ShaMuWTh 23:20-24 (Exodus). This verse is commonly used to say that the “angel of the LORD” is foretelling the coming of a salvific man (Jesus, YaHuWShuWA, Yeshuwa, YaShuA, YaHaWaShi, etc.). However, the unknown author of the Book of Hebrews in the Christian New Testament confirms that this can’t be so (Hebrews 1:4-5). So the author of the book of Hebrews seeks to dismiss the notion that the “angel the Lord” can be equal to this salvific man, so it can’t be Jesus, YaHuWShuWA, Yeshuwa, YaShuA, YaHaWaShi, etc. this salvific man is all over the place in the Christian New Testament, however, nowhere in the Old Testament is this salvific man concept.

According to the Christian New Testament in John 3:16 and 17:1-4 Jesus is our eternal life whom YaHuWaH has sent (which is a pretty bold decree). If YaHuWaH (the God of Israel) truly inspired the Christian New Testament, did the Creator forget to mention that in Deuteronomy? Did YaHuWaH totally forget to have YaShAYaHuW (Isaiah) mention that? The question we must all ask is “why aren't there any of those types of verses mentioned anywhere in the Hebrew Old Testament? The absence or silence of this critical Christian theology in the Hebrew Old Testament is deafening. Let’s first take a look at the English word “angel” in Hebrew, see what it means and then find examples in the ThaNaKh. The Hebrew word for the English word angel is MaLAK (H4397) and has various meanings: messenger/representative (prophet, priest, or teacher), or a spiritual being.

There are many examples in the Hebrew ToRaH depicting these various differences. In the story of David and Nathan (BaT ShaMuWAL 12:1-14 “2 Samuel”) the Creator spoke through Nathan sending His message through a human being. King DuWiYD made his confession unto Nathan and was immediately forgiven however Nathan (being the vessel of ABa YaHuWaH’s word) is not the Creator. In the story of KhaGiY (Haggai) he is called a messenger of YaHuWaH. Thankfully in most English-translated bibles, this verse is properly translated as a "messenger", which is a more accurate translation than an angel (a spiritual being) in this case since KhaGiY is a human.

Haggai 1:13 KJV

13 Then spake Haggai YaHuWaHs messenger in YaHuWaH's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith YaHuWaH.

CHURCHES ARE EVERYWHERE

One law for you, and the stranger

There are more than 200 Christian denominations in the U.S. and a staggering 45,000 globally, all with variant beliefs.

MaSPaR 15:16 “Numbers”

16 ONE LAW and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

Christian churches are everywhere and yet the world is still full of sin, hypocrisy, compromise, selfishness, and utter rebellion against the Creator’s commandments. Since so many are ok with compromising the truth in order to spare people’s feelings/emotions, this is why there are so many different church denominations (45,000) with different doctrines on every other street corner. Although the Creator’s true name appears over 6000x in the Hebrew ThaNaKh, many churches choose to teach different renditions of the Heavenly Father’s set-apart name to appease their followers. Pastors and Christians compromise by saying, “Just find a church YOU LIKE and go there!”

We all have been conditioned in this world to be ALL about US and what’s comfortable for US, however, we know the truth of the Creator’s words is NOT always comfortable. The Creator is running everything and is NOT about what fits OUR liking, but His. What we all must OVER stand is that WE need YaHuWaH, NOT the other way around! Finding a church that WE like is a huge deception, and our righteousness is like filthy rags (YaShAYaHuW 64:6 “Isaiah”); which means we will sway toward what WE like, how it makes US feel, and NOT what’s right or true! The truth doesn’t ALWAYS feel good and that’s the major problem with today’s modern-day, emotionally driven society.

NEVER do we read in scripture where the ancient Hebrew prophets of old softened or changed the word of YaHuWaH to make people feel good. If the church was real and all about truth and love, then It should NOT matter what church a person decides to go to. ALL churches (local and mega) should be upholding YaHuWaH’s standards and teaching the same doctrine of the prophets of old (which is one name, one covenant, one truth). Unfortunately, history continues to teach us that the Babylonian Christian church system is NOT about the truth, but about compromise, emotion, and achieving vain materialistic prosperity (YaRaMiYaHuW 23:16-40 “Jeremiah”).

This is why religion and church are NOT ONLY super popular but are also extremely deadly to one’s RuWaCh (spirit) growth. This is why scripture commands us to ”COME OUT of HER” meaning the deceptions of the world (including churches), otherwise stay and join in her punishment (YaRaMiYaHuW 51:45 "Jeremiah"). If Ha’SaTaN (H7854 an adversary in general or one who withstands - personal or national, NOT one single entity or spiritual being but can be several or a group ex: the shadow government, or anyone who controls the flow of truth to the people) can get the masses comfortable, discouraged, and so confused that they give up and stop seeking the truth (due to all the different false names and false doctrines on earth), then the enemy has won.

THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

FREE WILL

15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.

Here in the West, many of us have been influenced by generational traditions, and without questioning these longstanding practices, we often adopt beliefs that lack full understanding. In Christian theology, Satan is presented as the ultimate arch-enemy of YaHuWaH and is prominently featured throughout the Christian New Testament. Satan is particularly emphasized in the apocalyptic book (which means apocalypse in Greek). Because of Christian New Testament scriptures such as Mark 5:6-1, Satan is portrayed as having the ability to possess individuals and has minions aiding him in causing mischief.

The Christian New Testament teaches that Satan was once one of the greatest of all angels, but due to pride he (along with many other angels) rebelled against the Creator, was cast out, and is now forever at war with the Creator, the church, Jesus, everyone, and everything. Once again against popular belief, this is not Hebrew culture but in FACT, its origins are found in the cultural pagan writings in ancient Athens.

We will continue to say it, if we are not willing to look at the Hebrew ToRaH (aka Old Testament) from the perspective of the Hebrew people we WILL continue believing in falsehood and half-truths when it comes to what is true. The Hebrew ToRaH, particularly in Deuteronomy 28-33, does not mention being possessed by a demon as a consequence of not following the ToRaH.

It never states that a lake of fire is a punishment for not adhering to the ToRaH, nor does it record Satan as being as powerful as the Creator and His arch-enemy. All these ideas have been introduced into the Christian New Testament to instill fear and encourage adherence to following humanity's unsuccessful attempt to portray the Creator in their image, Jesus (referred to as YaHuWShuWA, YeShuWA, YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShA, and more).

Let’s look at the word “Satan” in Hebrew and its root word (the core word that is irreducible into more meaningful words).

In Hebrew, the term "SaTaN" refers to anyone or anything that opposes, resists, or withstands. It can represent an individual, a group of people, or even a superhuman adversary. To understand the true nature of SaTaN, we must return to the TaNaKh and conduct unbiased research, seeking YaHuWaH’s perspective. As always, WOTR is focused on understanding YaHuWaH’s opinion and what the ToRaH says about SaTaN.

If you don’t want to be misled—especially regarding the Bible—you must 1) unlearn the conditioned lies and half-truths, 2) be open-minded and willing to change, and 3) measure every claim, particularly those in the Christian New Testament, against YaHuWaH’s word as found in the Old Testament.

YaShAYaHuW 45:7 “Isaiah”

7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I YaHuWaH do all these things.

DaBaRiYM 30:15-20 “Deuteronomy”

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

What we find is that was specifically created by YaHuWaH for the sole purpose of seducing mankind away from Him (YaShAYaHuW 45:7 “Isaiah”, and DaBaRiYM 30:15-20 “Deuteronomy”). This is where our free will comes in and we must choose to obey or disobey His word (MaShaL 10:27 "Proverbs"). Will we say YaHuWaHs words will I only follow and YaHuWaHs name will I only praise” or do we choose to be disloyal and cheat on Him by taking part in pagan customs of worship unto other deities that YaHuWaH sees as abominations? However, unlike SaTaN who has no free will, can only serve its created purpose as we all know the story of Job (AiYuWB 1:7-10, 2:1-5 “Job”).

Since ABa YaHuWaH established that there is NONE greater than Him and that He is the First and the Last, He is the supreme ALuWaH (who runs the whole show) and everyone and everything He created is under His hand (ShaMuWTh 8:10 "Exodus", DaRaRiYM 3:24 "Deuteronomy", YaShAYaHuW 45:5, 46:9 "Isaiah", YaRaMiYaHuW 10:6, 10 "Jeremiah", ZaMaR 86:8 "Psalm", ALaPh MaLAKiYM 8:23 "1 Kings", ALaPh ShaMuWAL 2:2 "1 Samuel", BaT ShaMuWAL 7:22 "2 Samuel"). This was all done in hope that mankind would obey ONLY the commandments of YaHuWaH and not be swayed by someone or something that is contrary to His word (DaRaRiYM 12:32 "Deuteronomy").

This is what YaHuWaH is watching to see what we will do. If there wasn't an adversary or SaTaN in the world we would have nothing to pull us away from YaHuWaH, thus us all becoming robots. YaHuWaH wants a loving and willing servant to choose HIM, and not be robots. We would all then in a sense be like the animals or a dog. Why is that a dog is given the title “mans best friend?”, this is because they are so loving and loyal. Even after being highly reprimanded and yelled at for getting into the trash can, they will immediately come running to your side if you call their name. This is because they don’t have free will like humans and they are naturally created to be loyal. This is the same when it comes to the adversary SaTaN, who can only do what it was created for and we see this in the story of AiYuWB (Job) which is chronologically the oldest book (2nd millennium BCE).

Heresy and Harassment: Understanding the Torah's Call for Respectful Dialogue

According to Christian theology and their New Testament, Jesus is believed to have been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. The Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 1:18-25) and the Gospel of Luke (Luke 1:26-38) describe the virgin birth of Jesus. In these accounts, Mary becomes pregnant through the Holy Spirit, and Joseph, her betrothed, is not Jesus' biological father.

Christians generally believe in the doctrine of the Virgin Birth, which holds that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of Mary without a human father. This belief is foundational to the Christian understanding of Jesus as the Son of God and the Messiah. Since there are 200+ Christian denominations in the US, and a staggering 45,000 worldwide many emphasize this doctrine to varying degrees, but it is a central tenet in mainstream Christian theology.

Ever since we embarked on our journey of questioning the countless Christian doctrines and departed from all religious establishments, we have consistently been labeled as heretics by the very individuals, religious organizations, and sects that staunchly uphold the New Testament. Interestingly, in Titus 3:10 of the New Testament, believers in the New Testament messiah are advised to disassociate from a heretic after providing admonition on two occasions.

However, it has been observed over the years that these same individuals, religious organizations, and sects disregard the guidance of Titus 3:10 and persist in their criticism of WOTR. This glaring hypocrisy is a recurring theme that WOTR encounters regularly among those who proudly adhere to Christian theology. Whether through YouTube videos or disingenuous Facebook comments, these organizations continue their assault on us simply because we choose to trust and share the Hebrew ToRaH and the teachings of the God of Israel over their contradictory opinions. It's noteworthy that various groups seek to employ New Testament scriptures to undermine the foundation of the Hebrew ToRaH (YaHuWaH’s instructions to His chosen people Israel), yet they brazenly disregard the very book they are defending.

When we began our quest for truth and believed that invoking what we thought was the name of the New Testament Messiah in Hebrew, YaHuWShuWA, was essential for salvation, we faced accusations of heresy from various Christian groups. Now that WOTR has made the decision to distance ourselves from all Christian theology and refrain from transferring reverence to a New Testament idol before the Creator, we once again face accusations of heresy from believers in YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShuWA, YeShuWA, YaHuWShA, and so on.

Many individuals are emotionally invested in their religious beliefs, groups, and doctrines. However, when they encounter concrete evidence from the Hebrew ToRaH that contradicts their belief system, they often react strongly. This is because YaHuWaH’s irrefutable truth in His ToRaH and substantial evidence shed light on the flaws in their thought processes.

YaShAYaHuW 55:11 “Isaiah”

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

When a person has firm and unwavering trust in the ToRaH, there is no need to resort to bullying, retaliating, or trying to forcibly convince others of the validity of the ToRaH. While sharing facts and information is constructive, persistently imposing a particular belief on someone or attempting to demean them despite multiple discussions where they choose not to change their belief constitutes harassment. Never once do we read in the TaNaKh where the chosen Hebrew prophets went out forcing or recruiting people to become Israelites.

However, you do find in the Christian New Testament accounts of various followers of Jesus going out to recruit others—acting as fishers of men—and establishing churches to draw people toward Jesus' teachings and away from the established ToRaH. In the Hebrew TaNaKh, the chosen prophets of the God of Israel do not generally engage in mocking or demeaning other nations for not serving the God of Israel. Instead, the prophets deliver messages of judgment or warnings to the nation of Israel about the consequences of not following YaHuWaH's commands, but this is usually framed within the context of divine justice rather than ridicule.

Key Examples:

Isaiah:

  • Isaiah 40:15: The verse emphasizes that nations are like a drop in a bucket compared to YaHuWaH's greatness, but it does not mock or demean them. It reflects the supremacy of YaHuWaH rather than ridiculing other nations.

  • Isaiah 46:1: Refers to the idols of Babylon as burdensome, but the tone is more about the futility of idol worship rather than mocking.

Jeremiah:

  • Jeremiah 10:11: The prophet speaks against the idols of other nations, describing them as useless and powerless. This is a critique of idol worship rather than a personal attack on the nations themselves.

Ezekiel:

  • Ezekiel 25-32: Contains oracles against various nations (Ammon, Moab, Edom, Philistia, Tyre, Egypt). These prophecies pronounce judgment for their actions against Israel and their own sins. While they highlight divine justice, they do not focus on mocking these nations.

Micah:

  • Micah 4:11-12: Micah speaks about nations coming against Jerusalem, but the message is focused on the future restoration and the coming of YaHuWaH's kingdom rather than mocking those nations.

When individuals exhibit these behaviors, it often reveals a lack of steadfastness in their own beliefs. The continual engagement in harassment, debates, or arguments seems to serve as a means to bolster their confidence in their thought processes while attributing fault to everyone else. The fundamental truth is that the Creator's ToRaH stands unswayed, and any viewpoint conflicting with YaHuWaH is ultimately futile. Many Christians are already aware of the historical facts surrounding various holidays celebrated in America, recognizing their direct connections to ancient pagan customs, idol worship, and ritualistic festivals outside of Hebrew culture.

When people are reminded or presented with overwhelming evidence regarding the pagan idol origins of these widely accepted but ethically questionable customs, their reactions can be intense, driven by an inner recognition that these practices run counter to the principles outlined in the Hebrew ToRaH (which serves as the cornerstone of the New Testament). This principle extends to the Creator's ToRaH, and for those who affirm that the Creator's word is the established and dominant authority since time immemorial, anything conflicting with His ToRaH is deemed heretical.

WORD ETYMOLOGY

 

CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY

In the Hebrew Tanakh

  • Deuteronomy 13:1-5: Warns against false prophets and dreamers who lead others away from the worship of the God of Israel. It describes the punishment for those who attempt to introduce new gods or lead people astray from the established faith.

  • Deuteronomy 17:2-7: Details how to handle individuals who engage in idolatry or worship other gods, which includes stoning as a penalty for such offenses.

While the English word "heresy" as a term is more explicit in the New Testament, the concept of deviating from the established teachings and practices of the ToRaH already existed in the Hebrew TaNaKh. The Hebrew ToRaH predates the New Testament by several centuries. Here’s a general timeline:

  1. Hebrew ToRaH: The ToRaH, given by the God of Israel to Moses, is considered to have been composed around the 13th century BCE, though scholars often date its final form and compilation to around the 5th century BCE.

  2. New Testament: The New Testament was written in the 1st century CE, with its earliest texts, such as the letters of Paul, being composed around 50-60 CE. The Gospels were written later, approximately between 70 and 100 CE.

Time Difference:

  • The ToRaH predates the New Testament by approximately 1,000 to 1,300 years and has been deemed the established foundation ever since. Thus, the Hebrew ToRaH predates the New Testament by about a millennium or more, and this is why the Hebrews and Jews rejected the message and teachings of the New Testament messiah because it was "heresy", a belief or opinion that challenges or rejects the established teaching and ToRaH of the God of Israel.

Heresy and the Worship of Forms

We are instructed in the Hebrew ToRaH not to worship any form or image (this includes a male, female, object, or animal), yet various religious groups and camps/sects believe that the New Testament Messiah (referred to as YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShuWA, YeShuWA, YaHuWShA, and more) was conceived by Joseph and Mary, rather than attributing his conception to the Holy Spirit, as established in the Christian New Testament. If this were the case, it would align with the claims made in the New Testament—a book these believers trust is true—by Matthew and the Apostle Paul (Matthew 15:22; 21:9; Mark 10:47; Hebrews 7:14). However, this raises another dilemma. If Joseph were indeed the biological father of the New Testament Messiah, then he would be a mortal man and lack the authority (or divine nature) to overcome sin. On the contrary, Matthew 1:18 clearly asserts that the New Testament Messiah's mother, Mary, conceived miraculously through the Holy Spirit.

Different sects interpret the final MaShiYaCh in the Hebrew TaNaKh as being born a normal man, Joseph. However, if that were true, this New Testament person died approximately 1,988 to 1,994 years ago which contradicts the Hebrew TaNaKh. Ezekiel 37:24-25 clearly states that the future leader from the line of David will reign over the people of Israel forever in the messianic kingdom, without experiencing death. When you stray from ToRaH you stray from truth. The ToRaH teaches that we must not worship anything that is created, as the God of Israel showed the Hebrews no image or form of Himself to depict (DaBaRiYM 4:11-12 “Deuteronomy”). Regardless of whether it was Joseph and Mary or the Holy Spirit and Mary, the outcome of both unions is a created being or form (which Israel is not to worship).

The Creator YaHuWaH explicitly states that no form should be worshiped, whether it be of a man, a woman, an object, an animal, an insect, or anything else (Exodus 20:4-5 and Deuteronomy 4:15-19). Unbiased research shows that heresy is defined as a belief or opinion that challenges or rejects an established teaching or standard. Hebrew, Christian, and New Testament scholars all agree that the Hebrew ToRaH is the unchanging, established, foundational, and sacred word of the Creator. Considering this, the notion that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary and that Joseph is the biological father of the New Testament Messiah, along with the worship of that being, not only amounts to idolatry but would also be regarded as heresy according to the Hebrew ToRaH and the New Testament.

Christians often argue that in ancient times they did not create the New Testament Messiah figure out of wood or stone. This may be true back then, however in modern times, no matter what race, color, or creed, the images of a New Testament Messiah are everywhere and is worshiped by millions. The God of Israel explicitly warns against worshiping anything with a form. Therefore, if the New Testament messiah was made or conceived from the Holy Spirit and Mary like Christianity claims, again it would violate the Creator's ToRaH and would be deemed heresy because this man who was born from Mary is worshipped (Deuteronomy 4:11-23).

While Christianity attempts to resolve the matter of divinity through a miraculous birth, bestowing upon the New Testament Messiah the ability to perform miracles, overcome sin, conquer death, change the ToRaH, and experience resurrection, it introduces another quandary. The Hebrew ToRaH teaches in MaSPhaR 1:18 (Numbers) that a Hebrew's tribal lineage is determined solely by the seed (sperm) of the father. Consequently, the assertion that the New Testament Messiah was conceived by the Holy Spirit undermines the integrity of their New Testament. This miraculous claim nullifies any connection between the New Testament messiah (referred to as YaHaWaShi, YaHuWShuWA, YeShuWA, YaHuWShA, and more) and Joseph (a Hebrew), thus invalidating passages such as Matthew 15:22; 21:9; Mark 10:47, and Hebrews 7:14, which seek to establish Jesus' lineage through Joseph and the line of David.

When discussing the term "heretical" or labeling someone a "heretic," it’s important to grasp its meaning. Numerous groups or sects align themselves with Christian/New Testament theology, yet their beliefs frequently diverge from what they consider established teachings. Many may continue to label us as heretics, and if this refers to our lack of trust in the New Testament, then you are correct. For us (WOTR), our faith remains steadfast in the unchanging and sacred ToRaH of the God of Israel, not in those whose ideologies undermine and reject His ToRaH.

The Phoenicians

The Phoenician civilization is one of the earliest known Semitic-speaking cultures in the ancient Mediterranean region. The Phoenician language is a part of the Canaanite group of Semitic languages. While the Phoenicians played a significant role in the development of the Phoenician alphabet, which later influenced the Greek and other alphabets, they inherited their language from earlier Semitic-speaking cultures in the Levant.

One of the preeminent languages that pre-dated the Phoenicians and influenced their culture and language was the Canaanite language. The Canaanites were Semitic-speaking people who inhabited the same region before the Phoenicians. Various Canaanite dialects were spoken in the ancient Levant, and they laid the linguistic and cultural groundwork for the later Phoenician civilization.

The Canaanite language was a precursor to the Phoenician language, and it played a crucial role in the development of the Phoenician script and linguistic tradition. The Canaanites were among the earliest inhabitants of the Levant and made significant contributions to the region's history and culture.

The Phoenicians did not create the "eh" vowel sound ([ɛ]). Vowel sounds, including the "eh" sound, are fundamental elements of human speech and exist in various languages around the world. The Phoenicians, an ancient Semitic-speaking civilization known for their maritime and trading activities, had their own language and writing system, which included consonantal letters.

The Phoenician script served as the basis for several other writing systems, including the Greek alphabet. However, the creation or existence of specific vowel sounds in speech predates the development of any writing system, including the Phoenician script.

Vowel sounds are natural components of human language and have evolved and been used in various languages independently throughout history. The Phoenicians made important contributions to the development of writing and literacy in the ancient Mediterranean world, but they did not create vowel sounds like "eh." These sounds have always been part of human linguistic diversity. So, while the Greeks contributed significantly to the development of written language and linguistics, they did not create the "eh" vowel sound but rather utilized it as one of the phonetic elements of their language.

The Greek language

The Greek language, like all languages, has evolved over time, and its exact origins are a subject of linguistic study and debate. Greek is part of the Indo-European language family, which includes many languages spoken in Europe and parts of Asia. The origins of the Indo-European languages, including Greek, can be traced back to a common ancestral language known as Proto-Indo-European (PIE).

Proto-Indo-European is a reconstructed linguistic ancestor, meaning it is not directly attested in written records but is inferred through comparative linguistics. It is believed to have been spoken by a group of people thousands of years ago, possibly in the vicinity of the Eurasian Steppe or the Pontic-Caspian region.

As for the development of the Greek language specifically, it is believed to have branched off from the Indo-European language family at some point, likely evolving in the region of the eastern Mediterranean, where ancient Greece was located. Over time, Greek developed its unique characteristics, including its alphabet, which was adapted from the Phoenician script. This process of linguistic evolution and divergence is common in the history of languages.

So, in summary, the Greek language ultimately has its roots in the Indo-European language family, specifically stemming from Proto-Indo-European, but it developed into a distinct language with its own unique features and characteristics in the ancient Greek region.

The "eh" vowel sound ([ɛ]) is a part of the Yiddish language, but it is not unique to Yiddish. Yiddish is a High German-derived language historically spoken by Ashkenazi Jews, and it incorporates various elements from German, Hebrew, Aramaic, Slavic languages, and other sources.

The "eh" sound is a common vowel sound in Yiddish, as it is in many other languages, including English. However, the presence of the "eh" sound is not exclusive to Yiddish, and it can be found in other languages and dialects as well. The specific phonetics and pronunciation of vowel sounds can vary between languages and dialects, but the "eh" sound is not unique to Yiddish; it is a part of the broader spectrum of vowel sounds in human language.

Yiddish language

Yiddish is a Germanic language historically spoken by Ashkenazi Jews. It developed in Central and Eastern Europe, primarily among Jewish communities, and it has a complex linguistic history. Yiddish incorporates elements from various languages and is written in the Hebrew script. Here is a brief overview of the origins and development of Yiddish:

  1. Germanic Roots: Yiddish has its primary roots in Middle High German, particularly the dialects of the Rhineland. Jews who settled in German-speaking regions of Europe in the early Middle Ages adopted the local language and integrated it with elements from their ancestral languages (such as Hebrew and Aramaic) to create Yiddish.

  2. Slavic and Hebrew Influence: Over time, Yiddish absorbed loanwords and grammatical features from Slavic languages (such as Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian) and retained a significant Hebrew and Aramaic component for religious and cultural terms.

  3. Geographic Variation: Yiddish developed regional variations, with differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. The major regional dialects of Yiddish include Western Yiddish (spoken in western Europe) and Eastern Yiddish (spoken in Central and Eastern Europe).

  4. Orthography: Yiddish is traditionally written in the Hebrew script. The Yiddish alphabet includes adaptations of Hebrew letters to represent Yiddish sounds, along with diacritic marks to indicate vowels.

Yiddish has a rich literary tradition, including poetry, prose, and theater. It served as the primary language of Ashkenazi Jews in Europe for centuries. However, the Holocaust and the dispersal of Jewish communities in the 20th century led to a decline in the number of Yiddish speakers. Today, efforts are being made to preserve and revitalize the Yiddish language and culture.


In Hebrew, there are two versions of "el": אֶל, which means "to" or "toward," and אֵל, which means "God." These two versions are pronounced the same by Sephardim. However, Ashkenazim pronounce the second one differently, similar to how the English word "ale" is pronounced. Yemenites also pronounce them differently, with the first one being pronounced the same as אַל. This difference arises from the fact that Yemenites traditionally used the Babylonian vocalization system, which did not distinguish between the fataH and the Saghul vowel sounds.

In the past, there were three significant vowel marking systems for pre-modern Hebrew: Tiberian, Palestinian, and Babylonian. These variations likely reflected real differences in pronunciation among Jewish communities in these regions.

Today, only the Tiberian system remains in use. Ironically, it is not the best fit for the vowel system of Modern Hebrew, which is rooted in Sephardic pronunciation.

Furthermore, the Tiberian vocalization system we use today was developed in the Middle Ages, centuries after the compilation of the Biblical books. While medieval vocalization helps us understand the sounds of Biblical Hebrew, it does not precisely represent those sounds.

Tiberian Hebrew consists of eight main vowel qualities, whereas Modern Hebrew has five.

Tiberian Hebrew: /i e ɛ ə a ɔ o u/ Modern Hebrew: /i e a o u/

For instance, the vowel sign "tsere" represented /e/, which is the only 'eh' sound in Modern Hebrew, similar to the French 'é' and somewhat akin to the 'ay' sound in 'play.' The "segol" represented a slightly different 'eh' sound (IPA /ɛ/), akin to 'e' in 'send' or French 'è.'

The Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah

You are not alone in your confusion, and you may have wondered about the various ways people pronounce Hebrew. The Bar Mitzvah/Bat Mitzvah issue can be traced back to the letters "tav" and "sav," which appear identical except for a dot known as a "dagesh" in the middle of the "tav." This letter at the end of the Hebrew alphabet was pronounced as an "s" sound by Ashkenazi Jews hailing from Eastern Europe and Russia, while Sephardic Jews, originating from Spain, Africa, and Middle Eastern countries, pronounced it as a "t" sound.

In addition to this distinction, there are numerous other differences in the pronunciation of Ashkenazi and Sephardic Hebrew, encompassing varying ways of vocalizing vowel sounds and placing emphasis on syllables within words. These differences might account for your college roommate's bewilderment. Over many years, Hebrew spoken in separate communities led to the development of various pronunciations.

In the United States, where the majority of Jews had Ashkenazi backgrounds, a transition from Ashkenazi to Sephardic pronunciation occurred gradually. This change was influenced by growing Zionist sentiments, the availability of Hebrew courses on college campuses taught in Sephardic Hebrew, and other factors. In contrast, Israel officially adopted Sephardic Hebrew pronunciation after its establishment, marking a significant shift. This transition played a role in shaping the pronunciation of Hebrew in the United States. For more information on this history, you can explore Jeff Kaufman's work, "The Revival of the Hebrew Language”.

In contrast to Israel, where Sephardic Jews had already been well-established when Ashkenazi Jews began arriving in significant numbers during the 1800s, the majority of Jews in the United States had Ashkenazi backgrounds. This led to the existence of camps, schools, and other institutions designed to instruct children in Ashkenazi Hebrew, which was also the language used for synagogue prayers. The shift toward Sephardic pronunciation in the United States occurred gradually and was influenced by various factors, including the growing influence of Zionism, the availability of Hebrew courses on college campuses taught in Sephardic Hebrew, sometimes by Israeli instructors, and other contributing elements.

what is Sephardic Hebrew?

Sephardic Hebrew refers to a pronunciation and linguistic tradition of the Hebrew language associated with Sephardic Jews. Sephardic Jews are those who trace their ancestry back to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and were subsequently expelled or dispersed from Spain during the Spanish Inquisition in 1492.

Sephardic Hebrew pronunciation and linguistic features are distinct from the Ashkenazi Hebrew pronunciation used by Jews of Eastern European origin. Some key characteristics of Sephardic Hebrew include:

  1. Pronunciation: Sephardic Hebrew has notable differences in pronunciation compared to Ashkenazi Hebrew. For example, the letter "tav" (ת) is often pronounced as a "t" sound, whereas Ashkenazi Jews typically pronounce it as an "s" sound.

  2. Vowel Sounds: Sephardic Hebrew often retains vowel sounds in a more similar fashion to the original Hebrew language, while Ashkenazi Hebrew underwent vowel shifts.

  3. Syllable Stress: The placement of stress on syllables within words can differ between Sephardic and Ashkenazi Hebrew.

  4. Phonetics: Sephardic Hebrew pronunciation may be influenced by the phonetics of the languages of the regions where Sephardic Jews settled after the expulsion from Spain, such as Ladino (a Judeo-Spanish language), Arabic, or other languages.

  5. Orthography: In written form, Sephardic Hebrew typically follows the same standard Hebrew script as Ashkenazi Hebrew, but there may be variations in how certain letters are vocalized.

It's important to note that within Sephardic communities, there can be variations in pronunciation and customs based on specific regions and cultural influences. Sephardic Jews have a rich and diverse heritage, and their linguistic traditions have been preserved and adapted in different ways throughout the Sephardic diaspora.

summary

The specific sound represented by "eh" in modern English likely evolved from earlier vowel sounds present in Old English, the predecessor of modern English. Over time, through phonetic changes and linguistic evolution, certain vowel sounds in Old English shifted to become the "eh" sound we recognize today.

Here are some scholarly sources that discuss the evolution of vowel sounds in English:

  1. "The Cambridge History of the English Language" series edited by Richard M. Hogg and others:

    • This series provides a comprehensive overview of the history of the English language, including discussions on phonological changes and vowel shifts over time. Volume 1, "The Beginnings to 1066," and Volume 3, "1476-1776," may be particularly relevant.

  2. "The Oxford History of English" by Lynda Mugglestone:

    • This book offers a detailed account of the history of the English language, including discussions on phonological developments and vowel shifts. It provides insights into the evolution of vowel sounds in English.

  3. "A History of the English Language" by Albert C. Baugh and Thomas Cable:

    • This textbook provides a thorough examination of the historical development of English, including discussions on phonological changes and vowel shifts from Old English to Modern English.

  4. "The Origins and Development of the English Language" by John Algeo and Thomas Pyles:

    • This textbook covers various aspects of the historical evolution of English, including phonetics, phonology, and historical linguistics. It offers insights into the development of vowel sounds in Old English and their subsequent changes.

SYMBOLS OF JUDAISM

Spinning top

A dreidel, also dreidle or dreidl is a four-sided spinning top, played during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.

There are several symbols and traditions that are historically and culturally significant to the religion of Judaism. Some are listed below:

  1. Star of David (Magen David): This six-pointed star is a widely recognized symbol of Judaism. It is formed by the overlapping of two equilateral triangles and is often associated with Jewish identity.


    The historical use of the Star of David symbol extends beyond its exclusive association with Jews; it has also functioned as a magical sign or decorative element. (Encyclopedia Britannica). The Hebrew ToRaH AMuWs 5:26 (Amos) tells the story of a rebuke from the prophet Amos to the Israelites for their idolatry. In this verse, Amos criticizes the people for worshiping false gods, particularly mentioning their worship of the star-god Chiun (H3594) and other idols. The rebuke underscores the people's deviation from the worship of the one true God YaHuWaH and serves as a call to repentance and righteousness. Israel is reminded time and time again not to make, or worship images, idols, or symbols, yet the disobedience continues (ShaMuWTh 20:4-7 "exodus"). Never did YaHuWaH command Israel to adorn a star symbol.


  2. Menorah: The menorah is a seven-branched candelabrum, originally associated with the Tabernacle and later the Temple in Jerusalem. It is a symbol of light and is prominently featured during the festival of Hanukkah.

    The earliest known depiction of the menorah, a seven-branched candelabrum, is found on the Arch of Titus in Rome. The arch was constructed in the first century CE and commemorates the Roman victory in the Jewish War, particularly the sacking of Jerusalem in 70 CE. The relief on the arch depicts Roman soldiers carrying away spoils from the Second Temple in Jerusalem, including the menorah. This historical image provides insight into the appearance of the menorah used in the Second Temple. The depiction on the Arch of Titus has become a significant historical reference for understanding the design of the menorah during that period.

    While there may have been artistic expressions in other forms such as carvings or decorations in architecture, the direct creation of paintings, especially of religious symbols or the menorah, was not a prevalent practice among the ancient Hebrew Israelites. The Ark of the Covenant and other sacred items were described in the ToRaH, but there is no historical indication of widespread artistic representations of them on clothing, parchment, or walls during ancient times. The primary focus for Hebrews was on obeying the teachings of the ToRaH given to Moses by YaHuWaH. Never are the Hebrews commanded to adorn, paint, or symbolize the menorah as a custom.

    The lighting of the “Hanukkah” menorah is a specific tradition associated with that specific holiday and is not commanded in the Hebrew ToRaH but rather established through Rabbinic Jewish tradition. The commandment to continually light the menorah was specifically for the Tabernacle or later the Temple, as outlined in ShaMuWTh 27:20-21 (Exodus). There is no direct command in the ToRaH for Israelites to light a menorah in their homes as part of a regular Hebrew practice. The practice of lighting menorahs in Jewish homes during Hanukkah, for example, has historical and cultural significance but is not explicitly commanded in the Hebrew ToRaH for Israel. The custom of adorning a menorah on clothing or making pieces of art is mainly widespread due to the religion of Judaism.


  3. Hamsa: While the Hamsa is a symbol found in various cultures, in the context of Judaism, it is often seen as a protective amulet. It typically features an open hand and is believed to bring good fortune and ward off evil.

    The concept of "good luck" as a belief system is not endorsed in the Hebrew ToRaH. Ancient Hebrew thought places a strong emphasis on trust in the God of Israel YaHuWaH ALuWHiYM, and adherence to His commandments rather than relying on notions of luck or superstition. While the ToRaH contains various commandments and guidelines for ethical living, it does not prohibit belief in good luck as a means of warding off evil. We know the mighty one of Israel YaHuWaH created both light and darkness, peace and calamity. Isaiah 45:7 emphasizes YaHuWaH's dominion over all aspects of existence, asserting His authority over all the events in the world. This means succumbing to evil temptation or doing evil is a conscious choice. This also demonstrates that even evil, known in Christian terms as the devil or Satan, cannot overpower or is as powerful as YaHuWaH, nor can it override an individual's free will hence the saying “the devil made me do it…”.

    This popularized phrase was made famous in the early 1970s by comedian Geraldine Jones. Geraldine Jones used the excuse "The devil made me buy this dress" or variations of it to justify her actions. This saying is a humorous way of deflecting personal responsibility for one's actions by attributing them to external forces, in this case, the devil. It has since become a well-known and often-used expression in colloquial language.

  4. Oral ToRaH: Jewish tradition holds that alongside the written ToRaH, Moses received oral teachings from YaHuWaH at Mount Sinai. These oral teachings are believed to include explanations, interpretations, and legal rulings that complement and expand upon the written commandments. The belief in an oral transmission alongside the written text is a significant aspect of Jewish tradition and is considered essential for understanding and interpreting the commandments outlined in the Torah. Over time, portions of the oral tradition were recorded in written form, leading to works such as the Mishnah and the Talmud.

    The Hebrew ToRaH mentions no commandment from YaHuWaH for Israel to follow or obey a "Oral Torah".

DISTRACTIONS OF THE WORLD

dis·trac·tion:

  • a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else.

  • extreme agitation of the mind or emotions.

  • a created amusement that directs one's attention away from something else

So many have been influenced by Western culture and although this lifestyle is attractive it can very distracting. Whether it be family, friends, spouse, a career, happy wife/happy life, church, money, success, sports, technology, or children, although they are important if not careful can become a person’s god. There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying the things YaHuWaH made in this world, but everything must have order and balance. Unfortunately, due to Christian theology, many don’t care about the world to come. Those who support or follow Christian theology have been conditioned to believe that once Jesus (YeShuWA, YaHuWShuWA, YaHaWaShi, etc) died they are always and forever saved. It’s no wonder why this fantastic claim is so widely accepted, as it is an attempt to shift or transfer one’s accountability to change their lifestyle for YaHuWaH over to a Christian New Testament salvific man (YaChaZaQAL 18:20-23 “Ezekiel”, BaT DaBaR 25:4 “2 Chronicles”, DaBaRiYM 24:16 “Deuteronomy”, BaT MaLaKiYM 14:6 “2 Kings”).

However, unbiased study of the Old Testament (which is the foundation of Christianity) in its proper context we uncover that this is simply not so (ShaMuWTh 32:33 “Exodus”, DaBaRiYM 29:20 “Deuteronomy”, BaT MaLAKiYM 14:27 “2 Kings”, ZaMaR 69:28, 109:13, 109:14 “Psalms”). Western culture has taught people to name it and claim it, to be ALL about getting THEIR blessing (without obedience), and that having a habit of prayer unto Jesus yields a lifestyle of miracles. Again nothing about any of those thought processes is in line with the Creator’s words in the Hebrew Old Testament. The highly accepted theology that there’s an alternate way of salvation or eternal life (other than through the Creator YaHuWaH alone), fails to prepare people for the messianic age to come. Being wealthy with material things or having financial gain or status in this world, has NOTHING to do with one’s eternal salvation.

Our core values and unwavering trust are rooted in the unchanging Hebrew ToRaH of the Creator and God of Israel. We strongly encourage everyone to measure all opinions against this widely accepted foundation, for who would question the instructions of the Creator of all things?

There is no commandment in the Hebrew ToRaH from the God of Israel that requires Israelites to pray through an intermediary to commune with Him. Instead, the Hebrew TaNaKh emphasizes the importance of direct communication between the Nation of Israel, identified as the God of Israel’s son (Exodus 4:22-23 and Hosea 11:1), and YaHuWaH—much like the relationship between a father and his child—without the need for a mediator.

 

Ezekiel 18:30-32

30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the YaHuWaH God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith YaHuWaH God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

BaT DaBaR 7:14 “2 Chronicles” Hebrew TaNaKh

14 When my people, who bear MY NAME humble themselves, pray, and seek my favor and TURN from their evil ways; I will hear in my heavenly abode, and FORGIVE their sins, and will heal their land.

 MaKhiYaH 6:8 “Micah”

8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth YaHuWaH require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy ALuWaH?

ZaMaR 119:10-11 “Psalm”

10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Psalm 119:10-11 expresses a deep commitment to seeking and following YaHuWaH's commandments. The psalmist declares that they have wholeheartedly sought after YaHuWaH and asks not to be led astray from His ToRaH. Furthermore, the psalmist has treasured YaHuWaH's word in their heart to avoid sinning against Him, showing a desire to live righteously by keeping the God of Israel’s ToRaH close.
