DID MESSIAH AND APOSTLES COME TO START-UP A NEW RELIGION?
YAHVAH NAME NOT YAHWEH
As the Pastor and his wife looked on, I worked on a fellow young employee at our radio station. I stumbled along. Years later, I would be ready for sharing the Word.
When we become skilled in the Word of YaHVaH (commonly called “God”) we should take-up the Great Commission. While inviting someone to our fellowship let us be confident they preach the Truth, not against the Truth of His Word. Did Messiah, the emissaries and Paul come to start-up a new religion?
Ezekiel 20:3 Thus saith YaHVaH Elohim; Are ye come to inquire of me? As I live, saith the YaHVaH El, I will not be inquired of by you. Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers..
Ezekiyl 3:7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted. (The scattered House of the Ephraim Northern Kingdom dispersed to Britain, USA etc.)
5:6 And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
If someone is a contentious person, there are rich gems in Proverbs for us all:
Pv 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. 29YaHVaH is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. 21:9, 27:15 15A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious person are alike. (Try a little honey on the end of a stick!)
And concerning prayers:
Proverbs 15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to YaHVaH: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 21:27:..how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
Pv 28:9 He who turns his ear away from the hearing of the Torah, even his prayer shall be an abomination. (Not the Talmud the Jewish oral laws, but the Torah.)
This new religion is anti-faith. The messages are: Do not do Passover annually on Aviv 14 but have Sundie morning communion. Do not keep the law nor the Sabbath, Feast days, clean and unclean but celebrate the holidays of the Nations. Many of these feasts involved (in former times) the literal bloody sacrifice of babies; no Renewed Covenant; call on any name of god except YaHVaH, the one in Scripture; read any corrupted Bible but not the one from Antioch, the KJV; reject anything from the “Old” Testament” unless it prospers you; go straight to heaven or hell but the judgment comes later; you get raptured-THEN the last Trumpet in Revelation 11 {No exact time, but an ARBITRARY time; Repent or pause from sin Sunday night, then go back to your main lifestyle. Truth is: Fix or repent daily OVERCOME! Evolutionary beliefs or theist evolution. Do we not trust that YaHOSHA Messiah created man in one day, and He could in one second?
What else about this New Religion that Paul started?
Were Paul, Peter, IsaiYah and the prophets without sin? No! All have sinned (past tense) and have fallen short of the splendor or favor of YaHVaH.
Romans 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one!
There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after YaH.
Genesis-1 gives us the true Sabbath. Hebrews 4 reaffirms "Therefore, there remaineth a REST to the people of YaH." "He specified a certain day...that Seventh Day; He spoke not of another day." Romans 8:7 Those who reject Messiah are in rebellion, not subject to the Law of YaH, neither indeed can be." Psalm 19 (all): "The Law of YaH is perfect converting the soul (person)." Psalm 119 "Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not Thy statutes.for all Thy commandments are righteousness. .every one of Thy righteous judgments endureth for ever..His Commandments Statutes and Judgments."
Discernment comes from knowing and living the Word.
When some declare in effect that Messiah started-up a new religion, a Westernized gospel of easy-believism let us please remember that “Messiah is the same, yesterday, today and forever” and that “With the Father, there is no variableness nor shadow of turning (James 1). That YaHVaH keepeth Covenant with Yisrael (all of us) to a 1000 generations {at least 40,000 years!}
In Galatians we read about a law which was added, due to transgressions. The sacrifices for sin and death penalty were added to the Commandments, Statutes and Judgments (privileges). Hebrews 9:9-28 KJV or HalleluYaH versions.
Biblical science has proven that man has existed hardly more than 6000 years; we still have at least 34,000 years left to worship Almighty Father YHVH.
He, the Father, gave us this renewed Covenant Hebrews 8:10 and 10:16. “This is the Covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith YaHVaH, I will put my Torah into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.”
