Fit for the Kingdom

by Ed Moore

Yahuah simply cannot grant eternal life and a position within The Kingdom of Yahuah to a disobedient human being… period. It is that simple. If you disobey His Law now, you cannot be trusted with eternal life, you cannot be trusted to govern, you cannot be trusted to judge, you cannot be trusted as His priest, you cannot be trusted with anything and you will die dead in your “sin” which is… transgression of His Law. This cannot be over stated.
This life is our training in His Law
During our life on Earth… we are trained for service in The Kingdom of Yahuah by teachers and mentors (training aids organized into covenants).
This training process we are put through on earth comes in the form of “test after test” of trials, tribulations, adversity, and affliction whereby we apply His Laws to our lives and grow. It is through this process of tests and trials that we learn the meaning of His Righteous Laws and become trained to govern.
Romans 5
3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
We begin our journey as “children” of Yahuah no different than a servant. At the appointed time after being trained and tutored through covenants we graduate to full sonship and are no longer “children”.
Our inheritance is granted AFTER our training when we have grown beyond that of a childish selfish slave into an obedient son trained in His Righteousness which is defined by His Laws.
Isaiah 30:20
20 And though Yahuah give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall (be spiritually opened to) see thy teachers (understand physical to spiritual parallels):
Galatians 4:1-7
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he be master of all (we are destined to be masters of The Universe); 2 But as “children” we are under tutors and guardians (covenants, rehearsals, The Law) until the time appointed of the father (that we have mastered spiritual truth through physical examples).
6 And because you are (now) sons (after the appointed time of training), Yahuah has (then after training) sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 At which time you are no longer a child (you are trained in His Kingdom), but a son; and if a son, then (only once you have become a son and not a child) an heir of Yahuah (to His Creation) through the Messiah (the first born son in the Family of Yahuah).

One

 I and my Father are one

We are always taught the verses where Yahusha and Yahuah are said to be one is proof of incarnation. Trinitarians love to cherry pick scriptures that seem to make Yahusha and Yahuah the "same exact being" quoting such scriptur
e out of context. They build doctrines born from "sound bites" not "sound teaching". They quote such sound bites as:

John 10
30 I and my Father are one.

When taken out of context that would seem to either mean "Yahuah is Yahusha" or Yahusha is committing blasphemy! But, taken IN CONTEXT we see, that when accused of blasphemy Yahusha went on to clearly tell us what that statement meant and he was neither committing blasphemy nor was he saying he was Yahuah. He was saying he was the son of Yahuah and they are one family through covenant. Trinitarians conveniently stop with verse 30 to make their point and never do they venture beyond that sound bite to where Yahusha clears this entire thing up. 

John 17:19-21
"And for their sakes I sanctify myself (through the Truth of Scripture, The Torah and Prophets), that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in (covenant with) me, and I in (covenant with) thee, that they also may be one in (covenant with) us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."

So there you have it. As Yahusha sanctified himself through the Truth found in The Word, I also have been sanctified by the Truth of the Word of Yahuah. I, being born again into the family of Yahuah, by covenant of "marriage" the two shall become one. We are ONE in family, Spirit, Will, and purpose. Yahuah is our Father, Yahusha is the first born son in that family, and I am a son in that family as well being the younger brother of the eldest son.

Our Brother

Yahusha clearly admits he is not my "God" but my brother

Yahuah is not Yahusha. Yahusha is our brother not our "God". Yahuah is our God and Father not our brother. The simplicity and obviousness of the truth is inescapable. It was not through "Yahusha
" that all things exist as the pagan "Logos" lie is taught, but through Yahuah alone...

Hebrews 2:10-18 - NIV
10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that Yahuah, for whom and through whom everything exists, (Yahuah) should make the pioneer of their salvation (Yahusha) perfect through what he suffered. 11 Both the one who makes people holy (Yahuah) and those who are made holy (Yahusha and all his brother/sisters) are of the same family. So Yahusha is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. 12 He says,

“I will declare your name (Yahuah) to my brothers and sisters (Yahusha is not our God, he is our elder brother in the family of Yahuah); in the assembly I will sing your praises.” 13 And again, “I (Yahusha) will put my trust in him
(Yahuah).” And again he says, “Here am I, and the (rest of the) children Yahuah has given me (to rule over).”

14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity (he was human too) so that by his death (the death of a man not God) he might break the power of him who holds the power of death (defeat The Law of Sin and Death)—that is, the devil— 15 and free (all who now live by The Law of the Spirit of Life) those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death (we were held in slavery to the death decrees not The Law). 16 For surely it is not angels Yahusha helps, but Abraham’s descendants (alone). 17 For this reason he (Yahusha) had to be made like them (he was made human just like I was), fully human in every way (doesn’t get any clearer than that), in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest (all High Priests are chosen from among men… Hebrews 5:1) in service to Yahuah, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted (proof he was not Yahuah, Yahuah cannot be tempted by evil), he is able to help those who are being tempted.

James 1:13
For Yahuah cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;

That is the long and short of it. There is absolutely no difference between Yahusha pre-resurrection than there is you and I now. Again the main difference is that Yahusha is the first born son, he is the King of Kings, and High Priest. WE ARE OF THE SAME EXACT FAMILY!

Yahuah is the God of Yahusha just like he is my God!

The scripture below speaks volumes:

John 20:17
17 Yahusha said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.' "

Again, it just doesn’t get any clearer than that.

Act 17:31 because He has set a day on which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a MAN (NOT YAHUAH) whom He has appointed, having given proof of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

Act 17:31 because He has set a day on which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a MAN (NOT YAHUAH) whom He has appointed, having given proof of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

1Ti 2:5 For there is one Elohim, and one Mediator between Elohim and men, the MAN Messiah יהושע,

Act 7:55 But he, being filled with the Set-apart Spirit, looked steadily into the heaven and saw the esteem of Elohim, and יהושע standing at the right hand of Elohim,

The Throne of Creation

The Throne of Creation and The Throne of the King over The Kingdom of Yahuah

The next misconception I want to clear up is that Yahusha is THE KING over creation. Yahusha is not The King over creation he is the King over The Kingdom of Yahuah which gov
erns Yahuah’s creation. Yahuah is King over His creation and Yahusha is the Proxy King exercising power that is given to him by The Creator. There are two thrones, The Throne of Creation and the throne that rules over The Kingdom of Yahuah. Yahuah sits on The Throne of Creation, Yahusha sits at Yahuah’s right hand and Yahusha’s power/authority is given him by Yahuah as Yahuah’s proxy King over The Kingdom of Yahuah:

Matthew 26:64
Yahusha said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of (the) Power (of Yahuah) and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Ephesians 1:20
That Yahuah worked in Yahusha when Yahuah raised Yahusha from the dead and seated Yahusha at His right hand in the heavenly places (Kingdom of Yahuah),

Colossians 3:1
If then you have been raised with Yahusha, seek the (Spiritual) things that are above (in The Kingdom of Yahuah), where Yahusha is, seated at the right hand of Yahuah.

Hebrews 8:1
Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of The Throne of the Majesty (Throne of Creation) in (The Kingdom of) heaven

Revelation 5:13
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him (Yahuah) who sits on the Throne (of Creation) and (also) to the Lamb of Yahuah (sitting at the right hand of that throne not on it) be praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever!”

So when you put John Chapter 1 back into proper Hebraic context and we put that chapter back into agreement with Yahuah’s explicit declarations that He is Creator and there was no one with Him. We also see that Yahusha’s beginning was within his mother’s womb like all other humans. We see that Yahusha did not take his place at the right hand of Yahuah until after his resurrection. Divine emanation, pre-existence, and incarnation are all false doctrines that rob the Glory that is due to Yahuah alone.

Father and Son

The relationship between Yahuah and Yahusha is not difficult to understand. It is that of Father and Son. The same relationship we have with our Father in Heaven. Yahuah is not only the Father of Yahusha but He is the Father of all His sons in the same way. In the physical shadow of earthly father and son; and the spiritual parallel that shadow represents… the father and son are not the same “being”. One begets the other. One is an “image” of the other.

Yahuah has always revealed Himself as our Father as Yahusha too confirmed. We see that Yahuah is Yahusha’s Father as Yahusha is no different than you and I:

Luke 11
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.”

1 Peter 1
To Yahuah’s elect, exiles (lost sheep of The House of Israel) scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, 2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of Yahuah the Father… 3 Praise be to the Elohim and Father of our King Yahusha the Messiah! In His (our Father’s) great mercy He (our Father) has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Yahusha the Messiah from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance (of Yahuah the Father to His sons) is kept in The Kingdom of Yahuah for you.

1 Corinthians 8
5 For even if there are so-called Gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “Gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father Yahuah, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one King, Yahusha the Messiah, for whom all things were created (by Yahuah as an inheritance) and through whom we live (in covenant being covered by the blood of the lamb).

We see above Paul explain the simple reality of Yahuah being the Father and Yahusha being Yahuah’s first born son through resurrection. We see Yahuah give all His sons the inheritance which is held for us in The Kingdom of Yahuah. We see Sha’ul (Paul) praying that the true knowledge that Yahuah alone is our God and Father be revealed to His chosen:

Ephesians 1
17 I keep asking that the God of our King the Messiah Yahusha, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him (your Father) better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He (your Father) has called you (as His son), the riches of His (your Father’s) glorious inheritance in His (Yahuah’s) holy people, 19 and His (Yahuah’s) incomparably great power toward us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 He (your Father Yahuah) exerted when He (the Father) raised Yahusha (His son) from the dead and seated Yahusha at His (Father’s) right hand in The Kingdom of Yahuah, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And Yahuah (the Father) placed all things under his (son Yahusha’s) feet and appointed Yahusha to be head over everything for the sons of Yahuah, 23 which is His (Yahuah’s) body (Temple), the fullness of Him (Yahuah) who fills everything in every way.

All of the references to Father and son in the Bible are in context of the Hebraic mindset of the place and authority of the father over his household. It is within this context that Yahusha as the son and “perfect image” of the Father is understood. Yahusha is the proxy of His Father Yahuah as His instrument and assistant as Yahusha is seated at his Father Yahuah’s right hand. The Universe is still the property of The Creator; the responsibility to govern it is given over to His sons.

Unger's Bible Dictionary, page 347

2. PLACE AND AUTHORITY. The position and authority of the father as the head of the family is expressly assumed and sanctioned in Scripture as a likeness of that of the Almighty over his creatures. It lies, of course, at the root of that so-called patriarchal government (Gen. 3:16; I Cor. 11:3)... While the father lived, he continued to represent the whole family, the property was held in his name, and all was under his superintendence and control... The children, and even the grandchildren, continued under the roof of the father … The property of the soil, the power of judgment, the civil rights belonged to him only, and his sons were merely his instruments and assistants...

Did Yahusha claim he was the Great I Am ?


John 8

55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad." 57 "You are not yet fifty years old," the Jews said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!" 58 "I tell you the truth," Yahusha answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Yahusha hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.

In the scene above Yahusha is telling the Jews that because they transgress The Law of Yahuah with their human tradition and commandments of men (The Talmud) they are liars when they say they know Yahuah. When Yahusha made the statement “before Abraham was born, I AM” in context of the Word of Yahuah and the predestined plan of Yahuah to send a human Messiah; Yahusha was simply saying “before Abraham was born, I am (prophesied to come and have pre-eminence among the sons of Yahuah in the pre-ordained Plan of Yahuah).” Letting scripture interpret scripture we establish sound doctrine to overcome this sound bite. Yahusha knew he was given preeminence among all things in the plan of Yahuah which was with Yahuah at creation therefore “before Abraham”. Paul confirms this fact:

Colossians 1:15-20
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Yahuah all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Yahuah and for Yahusha. 17 And Yahuah is before all things, and in Yahuah all things hold together. 18 And Yahusha is the head of the body, the church. Yahusha is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything Yahusha might be preeminent. 19 For in Yahusha all the fullness of Yahuah’s Spirit was pleased to dwell, 20 and through Yahusha, Yahuah would reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his stake (Yahuah would reconcile creation in covenant with Yahusha).

Paul is explaining what Yahusha was stating… two facts: 1.) he was before Abraham and had pre-eminence in the Plan of Yahuah. 2.) Yahusha is before Abraham in the resurrection being the first born of all eternal creatures. As I stated early, Yahusha accepted worship as the preeminent son of Yahuah and was before all men in the Plan of Yahuah. Below is the meaning of preeminence:

pre·em·i·nence
noun: pre-eminence; plural noun: pre-eminences; noun: preeminence; plural noun: preeminences
1. the fact of surpassing all others; superiority.

So before Abraham was born, Yahusha said “I am preeminent among the sons of Yahuah”. Yahusha’s use of the phrase “I am” was no different than how you and I would use it today. If you ask me if I am a son of Yahuah, I would reply “I am”. Would you stone me for blasphemy? I am not claiming in any way to be Yahuah nor saying that I am The Great I AM simply because I used the phrase “I am”. Neither was Yahusha. In fact, Yahusha use this phrase often and never was he implying he was the Great I AM in the process. Below we see Yahusha use the phrase I am and what he meant:

1. Bread - “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger.” John 6:35

2. Light - “I am the light of the world; he who fallows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12

3. Gate - “I am the gate; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” John 10:9

4. Good Shepherd - “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for His sheep.” John 10:11

5. Resurrection and Life - “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies.” John 11:25

6. Way, Truth, Life - “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.” John 14:6

7. True vine - “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.” John 15:1

Given Yahusha’s use of the term I Am he would have said “I am the Great I AM” if that is what he intended to say. Again, to understand what Yahusha was saying in John 8:58 we must put this statement into context of Scripture. Christianity takes John 8:58 out of context and combines it with John Chapter 1 that is mistranslated to come up with the false teaching that Yahusha claimed to be God.

In fact those two verses do combine to give us the truth of what Yahusha was saying. Yahusha was simply saying that before Abraham was born, Yahusha was prophesied to come in the Plan of Yahuah and was preeminent in that plan.

John 1:1-5
1 In the beginning was the plan of Yahuah, and the plan was with Yahuah (and defined His purpose in creation), and the plan was Yahuah's. 2 The same plan was in the beginning with Yahuah. 3 All things were done according to the plan of Yahuah, and without the plan of Yahuah nothing was done, that was done. 4 In this plan was (predestined) life (through a human Messiah’s sacrifice), and that life was the light (revelation) to mankind. 5 Now that light (revealed plan to send a human Messiah) shines in the darkness, but the darkness does not take hold of it…

Again, in every case where incarnation is taught it is taken out of context. Put back into context that false doctrine crumbles. The Trinity and Incarnation doctrines are literally built upon implied doctrine and the Christian scribes had to add words to Scripture in order to even be able to “imply” such nonsense. If you take out the words added to scripture to promote the “doctrine of the false messiah” and put those verses back into context there is zero references to incarnation and The Trinity. We have been lied to for 2000 years:

Jeremiah 8:8-9
“How can you say, ‘We are wise, and The Law of Yahuah is with us’? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. 9 The wise men shall be put to shame; they shall be dismayed and taken; behold, they have rejected the word of Yahuah, so what wisdom is in them?

Father is Greater

by Ed Moore

Deu 6:4 “Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one!
Mal 3:6 “For I am יהוה, I shall not change, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, shall not come to an end.
Mal 2:10 Have we not all one Father? Did not one Ěl create us? Why do we act treacherously against one another, to profane the covenant of the fathers?
Mar 12:32 And the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one Elohim, and there is no other besides Him.
James 1:13
For Yahuah cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
Psa 90:2 Before the mountains were born, Or You had brought forth the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting You are Ěl.
Jas 2:19 You believe that Elohim is one. You do well. The demons also believe – and shudder!
John 4:24 tells us that YAHUAH is spirit. Yahshua was not spirit, but flesh and blood.
Our Messiah was tempted and he also died...
Numbers 23:19
"Yahuah is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man (Yahusha is called the son of man 87 times), that He should repent; Has He said (that He would not take the form of a man), and will He not do it (keep His promise NOT to come to Earth as a man)? Or has He spoken (this promise not to take the form of a man), and will He not make good on this promise?
Isa 42:5 Thus said the Ěl, יהוה, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it:
Isaiah 44
24 “This is what Yahuah says— your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am Yahuah,the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth BY MYSELF.
Isa 45:5 ‘I am יהוה, and there is none else – there is no Elohim besides Me. I gird you, though you have not known Me,
Isa 45:6 so that they know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none but Me. I am יהוה, and there is NONE ELSE,
Yahchanan 14:28—
You have heard that I told you: I go away, but come again to you. If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

Example

The example Yahusha set that we are to follow is that of an obedient son of Yahuah to His Commandments. Yahusha kept The Sabbath; he kept Passover and every other commandment. This is our example.
Constantine is not our example nor is The Pope not even your Christian Church. For all the double talk Christian’s do in claiming to walk in the footsteps of “Jesus” they don’t even come close to walking as Yahusha so set the example in obedience to the Law of Yahuah.
1 John 2
4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
When the Messiah said "Follow me" (Matthew 8:22, 9:9), He meant we are to behave the way He did and obey Torah - the Word of YHVH! His death, as atonement for our sins did not mean we could simply keep on sinning and still obtain our place in the Kingdom! He meant we had our place so long as we did not continue to sin!
And Torah defines "sin." Sin is transgression of Torah (1 John 3:4)
John 14:6
Yahusha answered, "I am (my example is) the way and (my example is) the truth and (my example is) the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (my example).

The Whole Law

                         Contributed by Ed Moore

“Christians” often mock those who seek to be obedient to Yahuah in love as “legalistic”; and they condemn us for not keeping “the whole law”. Christian’s favorite accusation is: “if you keep The Law, why aren’t you sacrificing animals?” These Christians show a complete disconnect with The Renewed Covenant and do not know Yahuah.
Sacrifices are made on behalf of those who “do this” or keep Passover in remembrance of his sacrifice. The “Altar” has not disappeared as many assume and in error claim there are currently no daily sacrifices being made. The Altar exists now in our hearts and the sacrifices being made on it are still alive and very active.
The Temple of YAHUAH is the human body
The altar of YAHUAH is the hearts/minds of man
The Sacrifices to YAHUAH are expressing faith through action
Which brings us to "The Law"....
Not everyone is “under” every one of the 613 Laws. The Laws of Yahuah just
like laws of man are jurisdictional and not everyone falls under the jurisdiction of every law:
• There are laws that pertain to women only.
• There are laws that apply to men only.
• There are laws that apply to Kings, Priests, and Judges that don’t apply to the average person.
• The Laws of the Priesthood and Sacrificial Laws have been transposed over
to Yahusha who serves as Melchezidek. These laws don’t apply to us as they
have been transposed to Heaven to define the role Yahusha plays as High
Priest
This is why the entire Law was summarized into the Ten Commandments because those are the commandments that apply to and have jurisdiction over everyone.
The Law is a term used for all 613 “instructions” in righteousness found in The Torah. The Law contains very distinct categories:
                                  by Ed Moore

His Commandments (Ten Commandments)
His Ordinances/Laws (Dietary, Priestly, Ritual Purity, Sacrificial, Judicial, Moral, Agricultural, Business, Sabbatical, Community, Prohibition, Tithes/Offerings, etc.)
His Decrees (Judicial Judgments amounting to a Certificate of Debt against us for our disobedience to His Commandments and His Laws)
Those death decrees are covered by the blood of the Lamb. That reduces the number significantly from the 613 “laws” and leaves only the commands and ordinances.
There are other “sins” not “unto death” which are the laws that pertain to our physical bodies and health such as the dietary laws. Violating these laws has physical consequences to our health not our eternal life. Laws that apply to agriculture, business, community, and so forth are all laws that if violated effect our relationships with others, our reputation, the ability of the land to regenerate etc. They do not impact our eternal life. There are laws given as physical to spiritual parallels that teach us through physical examples what it means to be “set apart”.
All these laws, as Paul said, are profitable to us in our earthly lives and instructing us in righteousness as we study them from the standpoint of spiritual intent. Anytime you see the word “Scripture” in the Bible it is referring to The Law, The Prophets, and The Writings we in error call The Old Testament.
2 Timothy 3:16
All (Hebrew) Scripture is given by inspiration of Yahuah, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of Yahuah may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
We should all study The Law in its entirety to understand Yahusha’s role as High Priest, to become better people in general, to stay healthy, and to prepare ourselves for our roles as Kings, Priests, and Judges in the coming Kingdom.

Torah

“Torah” in Hebrew means Instructions in Righteousness. Keeping The Law is how we will be declared righteous before Yahuah as The Torah is that instruction.
It is in keeping The Law that the process of sanctification is accomplished as we are set apart for Yahuah as a prized possession through our obedience.
Sin is breaking The Law and Grace is forgiveness in light of our inability to keep The Law fully. The love of Yahuah is made complete in those who obey The Law.
Romans 2:13
For it is not those who hear The Law who are righteous in Yahuah's sight, but it is those who obey The Law who will be declared righteous.
Titus 2:14
who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness (abolishing The Law 1 John 3:4) and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works (of The Law James 2:14-26).
Romans 6:19
I am speaking in simple terms because of the frailty of your human nature. Just as you once offered the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater disobedience (to The Law; the carnal mind is hostile to The Law Romans 8:7), so now, in the same way, you must offer the parts of your body as slaves to righteousness (which is keeping The Law Romans 2:13) that leads to sanctification.
1 John 3:4
Whosoever commits sin transgresses also The Law: for sin is the transgression of The Law.
1 John 2
3 We know that we have come to know Yahuah IF we keep His commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know Yahuah,” but does not do what Yahuah commands is a LIAR, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys Yahuah’s word (Matthew 5:17-20), love for Yahuah is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in The Renewed Covenant: 6 Whoever claims to live in covenant with Yahusha must live as Yahusha did (keeping The Law of Yahuah in loving obedience)
Yahusha did not come to abolish The Law of Yahuah but to transpose it to its fullest meaning and spiritual intent. We know Yahusha’s view of those who violate the commandments of Yahuah:
Matthew 7:23
“And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!
Matthew 13:41
“The Son of Aḏam shall send out His messengers, and they shall gather out of His reign all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing lawlessness,
Matthew 23:28
The same is true of you: outwardly you seem to the human eye to be good and honest men, but, within, you are full of insincerity and disregard of Yahuah's Law.

The Gift of Life

                                       by Ed Moore

Yahuah loves everyone He created. He gives everyone this life on Earth as a gift. Yahuah then makes His sons a promise that requires an immense amount of faith. He offers eternal life as a gift for those that will give this life back to Him. We “give this life up” by denying our own selfish will and seeking His Will by obeying His Commandments.
We must serve His purposes and not our own. We are to give up our own will for this life and do the Will of our Father and submit our lives as living sacrifices to Him. Just like Yahusha did. That means… we are to submit to this life as a training ground for His Kingdom.
Luke 18
18 Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 19 So Yahusha said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but (the) One (Elohim), that is, Yahuah (Yahusha is declaring The Shema). 20 You know (to keep) the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ (the Ten Commandments)” 21 And he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.”
22 So when Yahusha heard these things, he said to the young ruler, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, FOLLOW ME.” 23 But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 And when Yahusha saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, “How hard it is for those who have riches (physical metaphor of richness of lives) to enter The Kingdom of Yahuah ! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man (a man with a richness of life to give this life up and) to enter The Kingdom of Yahuah.”
26 And those who heard it (realized he was not talking about rich as in money but rich meaningful earthly lives and) said, “Who then can be saved?” (Because giving up this life in hope of the next life is a huge leap of faith) 27 But Yahusha said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with Yahuah.” (you have to be chosen by Yahuah to be able to truly sacrifice this life in faith)
Now Yahusha clearly says he wasn’t talking about material wealth but richness of life in terms of family, friends, wives, and children
28 Then Peter said, “See, we have left all and followed You.” 29 So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of The Kingdom of Yahuah , 30 who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.”
As we give this life up and surrender to our training, study His Laws; we will apply ourselves in walking the example set by Yahusha. Exercising our authority given us as judges, declaring our birthright as sons of Yahuah, setting ourselves apart from this world with Yahuah by keeping His Sabbaths and Ordained Festivals, we will be transformed into living Temples of Yahuah.
1 Corinthians 6
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from Yahuah, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify Yahuah in your body and in your spirit, which are Yahuah’s.
We will be transformed into living stones uncut by human hands. Our hearts and minds are sanctified through the study of His Word and become altars to Yahuah upon which our spiritual sacrifices are offered:
I Peter 2:5
You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house…

The keeping of Passover to be saved from death was established clearly by the original Passover when Isaac was spared by a substitutionary ram (a male lamb). Then again in Egypt when the Angel of Death “passed over” those who had the blood of the lamb on their doorposts.
Yahusha made this clear as he kept Passover the day he died. John the Baptist made this point crystal clear when he saw Yahusha at his Mikveh and declared “Behold! The Passover Lamb of Yahuah”. The Apostle Paul makes this point clear instructing us in “how” to keep Passover, Peter stressed it, John the
Revelator showed us this in the Spirit;
Passover is truly the scarlet thread (blood) of redemption running from cover to cover in the Word of Yahuah beginning with Abraham and Isaac:
Luke 22:19
19 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks (at Passover), He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This (Passover Dinner) is My body (Passover Lamb) which is given (sacrificed) for you; do this (keep Passover) in remembrance of Me."
John 1:29
"Behold the (Passover) Lamb of Elohim, which taketh away the sin of the world."
John 1:36
"and he looked at Yahusha as He walked, and said, "Behold, the (Passover) Lamb of Elohim!"
1 Corinthians 5: 7-8
"Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast--as you really are. For the Messiah, our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival (of Passover/Unleavened Bread), not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth."
1 Peter 1: 18-25
"For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of the Messiah, a (Passover) lamb without blemish or defect”
Revelation 5:6
"Then I saw a (Passover) Lamb, looking as if it had been slain.
Revelation 5:12
"In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the (Passover) Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!".
Revelation 5:13
"Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the (Passover) Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!"
So we see the “proper” sacrifice for sin on The Altar of Yahuah (our hearts) is The Passover Lamb of YAHUAH, the Messiah Yahusha. We are to keep and put our faith in Passover each year as we “do this” in remembrance of The Messiah’s sacrifice. Keeping Passover is our spiritual sacrifice to Yahuah and in doing so, we are “covered by the Blood of the Lamb” and will be Passed Over the Second Death. This is the story of salvation told in the Bible.
Today, however, Christianity no longer puts their faith in Passover but rather “Easter”.
Christians abolish the law did away with the writings about Yahusha and Torah. They made up their own demi-god Jesus Christ (Hesus Krishna) and celebrate this demi-god on Christmas and make the abominable sacrifice Easter. Which makes the Passover Lambs blood that covers our sins non existent leading them to destruction.
Christianity has no foundation at all in Biblical Truth
Christianity (both Catholic and Protestant) has literally created a composite god and another gospel based totally on lies that have their beginning in the mystery religion of Babylon.
Christianity has given us a lie:
The Trinity/Jesus/Sunday/Christmas/Easter/abolishment of law
A lie totally contrary to The Truth and The Way found in scripture…
YAHUAH/Yahusha/Sabbath/Feasts/Torah
It really isn’t that hard. Just replace the pagan rituals with the true Festivals of YAHUAH; the ones actually IN The Bible.
Keep Sabbath not Sunday. Celebrate Passover not Easter. Call on the name of Yahusha not Jesus.
You are already doing the same amount of things! Just trade in the “way of the pagan gentiles” and stand up and be counted as one of The Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.

Worship

                                                               Contributed by Ed Moore
Do you sponsor Easter egg hunts for the children? The original celebrants of this feast dyed the eggs red in the blood of sacrificed children. This is where the colored egg tradition began. Do you have an Easter sun rise service? This was called an abomination in Eze. Chapt. 8. Many people look forward to “Hot Cross Buns” on Easter. Where did this tradition start? It is mentioned in Jer. 7:18 , where the women made cakes to the pagan Queen of Heaven.
Do you celebrate Christmas? Are you aware the savior was not born on this date, but is the traditional birth date of Dies Sol Invictus, the sun god Mithras, the sun of righteousness? (Ency. Britannica). When Constantine merged paganism with Christianity, he declared December 25 to be the birth date of the Messiah. The Romans readily accepted this date as they were already worshippers of a god born on that date. The only thing that changed for them was the name of this god. They must have loved the name pronounced “Ee Sous or Ee Zeus”.
Since Yahusha was not born on December 25, then whose birthday is
being celebrated? Answer: The Satanic sun god, who was also known as god incarnate,mediator between god and man, a false Messiah.
Do you bring an evergreen tree into your church or home and decorate it with silver and golden ornaments? Have you considered Yahuah’s warning in Jeremiah chapter 10 against doing this?
Jer. 10:1 Hear ye the word which Yahuah speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2 Thus saith Yahuah, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
(Signs in the heavens have always played a large role in Pagan religions. The sun, planets, stars, summer and winter solstice, Constantine’s cross in the sky vision, comets, etc. have all been important in paganism.)
3 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.4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that
it move not.
Yahuah literally hates the pagan rituals of Babylon that Christian holidays are based on:
Amos 5
21 “I hate, I despise your feast days (pagan feasts such as Christmas and Easter), And I do not savor your sacred assemblies (on Sunday). 22 Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings (through pagan rituals), I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings. 23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments (as you sing praises and worship Hesus Horus Krishna the Antichrist). 24 But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream (as Yahuah will cast out all those who break The Law of Yahuah from His Kingdom).
Does it matter that these were originally pagan festivals? Are we allowed to create our own feasts to Yahuah? Do you think it matters to the Him? The answer is a resounding YES! Look at the following:
Deu 12:29 “When יהוה your Elohim does cut off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land,
Deu 12:30 guard yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire about their mighty ones, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their mighty ones?
Deu 12:31 “Do not do so to יהוה your Elohim, for every abomination which יהוה hates they have done to their mighty ones, for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their mighty ones
"You shall not worship Yahuah your Elohim in that way." Do not worship Yahuah in that way, the way of the heathen! Don't take heathen customs and try to honor Him with it. He is not honored by them. Do not add to His commandments and do not take away from His commandments.
Exo. 32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up,make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to Yahuah.
They were going to worship Yahuah through the golden calf. You see, they didn’t think this was idol worship; “it didn’t mean that to them”. How often do we hear this today? “It doesn’t mean that to us!” Easter doesn’t mean to me what it meant to the pagans, we celebrate the resurrection of “Jesus” on this day. It doesn’t matter that Yahusha had already risen toward the end of the Sabbath, not Sunday morning at sunrise. He was already long gone by then. But, this is the same logic that was used by Israel back then. Aaron even lied to Moses to try to justify his deed. He said that the people gave him gold, which he cast into the fire and out popped this calf. (Exo. 32:24). Do we not lie to ourselves today to justify our practices?
What was Yahuah’s response?
Exo. 32:9 And Yahuah said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is astiffnecked people:10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
Does this sound like it didn’t matter to Yahuah? He wanted to wipe them out and start allover with another chosen people through Moses. The word says Yahuah changes not!
Hos 4:6 “My people have perished for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being priest for Me. Since you have forgotten the Torah of your Elohim, I also forget your children.

Constantianity

                                                           Contributed by Ed Moore

he true beginning of the religion known today as Christianity is shrouded in secular and pagan thought and tradition. The historical beginnings of this religion is all but “hidden” and kept silent in today’s churches. When we do a little digging… it is understandably so. The slightest research into the origins of Christianity will literally destroy your faith in it. So I guess to most Christians, “Ignorance is bliss”! However, in this case, it is eternal destruction. We see below this is the case as we are destroyed by the lack on knowledge and rejected by Yahuah for abolishing His Law.
Hosea 4:6
my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of Yahuah, I also will ignore your children.”
All we need to know concerning the “new” religion that evolved at the hands of the Roman Emperor Constantine formalized at the Council of Nicaea we can learn from early scholars of the day and Catholic Church documents that live on historically. These all openly admit that the “religion” was neither “new” nor “strange” to the pagans of their day and that the only thing “new” about it was the name of the new “god” they created. This new god’s name was Jesus H. Christ or I.H.S in Latin.
The Council of Nicaea was held around 300 AD and writers of that era admit what should now be obvious.
Eusebius of Caesarea (circa 283-371 CE) wrote: "The religion of Jesus Christ is neither new nor strange."
St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 CE) wrote: "This, in our day, is the Christian religion, not as having been unknown in former times, but as having recently received that name."
Yes, Christianity was not new to the pagans and as St. Augustine pointed out it has been known all the way back to Babylon and only recently called “Christianity”. Every Christian Church today from the Roman Catholic Church to every last Protestant denomination expresses its faith in what is called The Nicene Creed. This is the resulting creed that came out of the first council at Nicaea where Christianity and its fundamental doctrines of sun worship were formulated by Constantine to unite his kingdom through syncretism.
Constantine was the founder of "Christianity"
The Constantine Creed
“I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads and sacrifices of lambs of the Hebrews, and all the other feasts of the Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspirations, purifications, sanctifications, and propitiations, and fasts and new moons, and Sabbaths, and superstitions, and hymns and chants, and observances and synagogues. absolutely everything Jewish, every Law, rite and custom and if afterwards I shall wish to deny and return to Jewish superstition, or shall be found eating with Jews, or feasting with them, or secretly conversing and condemning the Christian religion instead of openly confuting them and condemning their vain faith, then let the trembling of Cain and the leprosy of Gehazi cleave to me, as well as the legal punishments to which I acknowledge myself liable. And may I be an anathema in the world to come, and may my soul be set down with Satan and the devils.”
(Stefano Assemani, Acta Sanctorium Martyrum Orientalium at Occidentalium, Vol. 1, Rome 1748, page 105)
Furthermore, any follower of the “Jewish Rabbi” (Rebbe Yeshua) who wished to join this “holy community” was compelled to adopt a different set of rules and customs. Subsequently special creeds were drafted, to which the Christian would have to swear such as:
“I accept all customs, rites, legalism, and feasts of the Romans, sacrifices. Prayers, purifications with water, sanctifications by Pontificus Maxmus (high priests of Rome), propitiations, and feasts, and the New Sabbath “So! dei” (day of the Sun, ), all new chants and observances, and all the foods and drinks of the Romans. In other words, I absolutely accept everything Roman, every new law, rite and custom, of Rome, and the New Roman Religion.”
Additionally, in approximately 365 AD, the Council of Laodicea wrote, in one of their canons:
Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day. Rather, honoring the Lord’s Day. But if any shall be found to be Judaizers, let them be anathema (against) from Christ”.
Note: Protestants are included as they still observe the holidays and sabbath of Rome, as in “are you going to church this coming Lord’s day”.
Concerning Antiochus Epiphanes…
He set up an image of Zeus in the Temple which was the Abomination of Desolation spoken of in Daniel 11. For 3 years, he continued to desecrate the Temple.
These were the new laws that Antiochus set up:
Thou shall profane the Sabbath
Thou shall change the set times (festivals) and laws
Thou shall set up idols
Thou shall eat unclean animals
Thou shall not circumcise
Thou shall forget Torah
3 years and 2 months later, the Temple was taken back and rededicated. This is known as the Feast of Dedication, or Festival of Lights, or Hanukkah.
What’s really ironic…..these laws were created by an antichrist Antiochus, and are the same things Constantine would later repeat and this is what people want to live by today. Totally going against YHUH’s Word. People today are living under laws created by Antiochus and Constantine; an antichrist.
