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.

Faith Produces Action

                                         Contributed by Ed Moore

When true faith is present action will be the result
Suppose I said I believed in something. Wouldn't the proof of my belief be the action it produced in my life? No action no faith.
We have all been taught in Christianity that we are saved by faith not by works of The Law. It is a true statement that we are saved by faith, however we need to know what faith is to understand what that means.
Faith, by definition, is expressed through keeping The Law of Yahuah and believing in the promises made in Scripture which is The Torah and Prophets.
In Scripture (the Torah and Prophets) Yahuah promised us:
eternal life for obedience
death for transgression
a Passover Lamb to cover our transgression
a Sabbath Rest
A Sabbath Resurrection
Sacrifices to cover our sin (transgression of His Law) to be made by the High Priest
A marriage covenant whereby he would give us a loving spirit of obedience to His Law which would be transposed into our hearts
Simply “saying you have faith” and not backing that faith up with action in keeping Yahuah’s commandments is dead faith. Christians are willingly ignorant of this fact and choose to believe all they need is to believe in Jesus Christ (the false messiah) and nothing else is required of them.
Jas 1:22 And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves
Heb 6:11 And we desire that each one of you show the same eagerness(in keeping The Law of Yahuah), to the entire confirmation of expectation until the end,
Heb 6:12 in order that you do not become sluggish(keeping The Law), but imitate those who through belief and patience inherit the promises
2Pe 1:4 Through these there have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that through these you might be partakers of the Mighty-like nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world, caused by lust.
2Pe 1:5 And for this reason do your utmost to add to your belief uprightness, to uprightness knowledge,
2Pe 1:6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control endurance, to endurance reverence,
2Pe 1:7 to reverence brotherly affection, and to brotherly affection love. ,
Rom 15:4 For whatever was written before was written for our instruction, that through endurance and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have the expectation
2Co 7:1 Having, then, these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and spirit, perfecting set-apartness in the fear of Elohim.
James 1:12
12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that Yahuah has promised to those who love him (to love Yahuah is to keep His Law 1 John 5:3).
1Jn 2:24 As for you, let that stay in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning (the Torah and Prophets) stays in you(written on your heart) , you also shall stay in the Son and in the Father.
1Jn 2:25 And this is the promise that He has promised us(in The Torah): everlasting life.
Jas 2:14 My brothers, what use is it for anyone to say he has belief but does
not have works? This belief is unable to save him.
What did YAHUAH say about WHO are His people? He gives three requirements in Isaiah 56:6-8...To love His Name, honor His Sabbath and keep His covenant (Torah):
Isa 56:6 “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to יהוה, to serve Him, and to love the Name of יהוה, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and hold fast to My covenant –
Isa 56:7 them I shall bring to My set-apart mountain, and let them rejoice in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their slaughterings are accepted on My altar, for My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
Isa 56:8 The Master יהוה, who gathers the outcasts of Yisra’ĕl, declares, “I gather still others to him besides those who are gathered to him.”
There's more to having a relationship with YAHUAH than just "believing in YAHUSHA." The thing is, our Creator has some rules to follow, and if we refuse, then we don't belong to Him.
If you say you have faith and don’t express it through keeping The Law you are a liar and your faith is dead.

Finding the Truth

                                      Contributed by Ed Moore

When we “reverse engineer” the “faith” passed down to us. If it is true, it should lead us back to the Word of Yahuah found in the Torah. If it is false it should lead us back to Babylon as Yahuah warned us.
This exercise MUST be done in each and every one of our hearts and minds because Yahuah warned us that we would be misled by scribes who literally alter the Scriptures changing The Law into a lie and we would have nothing but pagan lies passed down to us from our forefathers.
The prophet Jeremiah sent out a warning to all who read The Bible:
Jeremiah 8:8
“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 (The Law) into a lie.”
Jeremiah speaks of a “Greater Exodus” from among all nations at the end as Gentiles all over the Earth will be brought out of the nations:
Jeremiah 16
14 “However, the days are coming,” declares Yahuah, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As surely as Yahuah lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ 15 but it will be said, ‘As surely as Yahuah lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ For I will restore them to the land I gave their ancestors.
Jeremiah goes on to say of the sons of Yahuah who are brought out of the gentile nations at the end in the Greater Exodus are crying out “we have been lied to all our lives for generations”…
Jeremiah 16
19 Yahuah, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in time of distress, to you the nations will come from the ends of the earth and say,
OUR FATHERS HAVE INHERITED NOTHING BUT FALSEHOOD, FUTILITY AND THINGS OF NO PROFIT." 20 Can man make gods for himself? Yet they are not gods!
21 “Therefore I will teach them— this time I will teach them my power and might. Then they will know that my name is Yahuah.
