Stumbling over the Truth

 Symbols of the Cross, dramatically portray, Christianity’s foundational belief, in Christ’s substitutionary death. Preaching, the UnJust Crucifixion, accomplished Salvation, as payment for mankind’s sin debt. This Sacrificing of an innocent “ScapeGoat”. Is an ancient ritual to appease the wrath of the gods. 

In comparison, the nation of Israel ceremonial worship, focused on the animal sacrifices, required in the Priestley “Works of the Law”. The Israelite people, would remain under the Levitical priesthood mediation, until the appointed time for revealing the Savior.

Hebrews 10:1; 2; 3; 4; Israel’s Covenant identity was maintained, by the symbolic practice of Circumcision in the flesh, and animal sacrifices, that are the “Works of the Law”. However, “Symbolic Works”, can never Save, and only became a continual reminder of “Sin”.

Apostle Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Emphasizes his opposition, to the Jewish religious leaders, reliance on the symbolic “Works of the Law”, to prove they are dedicated to Yehwah’s Covenant. 

Then in, Ga 5:11; Paul makes a mysterious declaration, intended to convict, religious Jews, that symbolic circumcision has not cut away the sinfulness of their hearts.

Emphatically, Paul proclaims the Prophetic Judgment. The Jewish religious leaders, have “Sinned”, by “Stumbling over the Offense”, of the Cross!

(Isa 1:11; 16; 18;  Hos 6:4; 5; 6; 7; Mt 9:12; 13; 12:7; 8; 23:23; )

The Biblical theme of the Cross, is intended to convict mankind, of their sinful lawlessness and rebellion, against Yehwah Elohe’s Covenant Commandments.

Under Who's Feet?

 In Hebrews 2:6; 7; 8; there seems to be a question, concerning who is the person or persons, that  the Heavenly Father, has placed all things under ??? Some theologians, assume that all things will be placed under the feet of the Saints.

Strangely, Hebrews 2:9; provides the answer.  

“Place all things under Who’s feet?” 

EL elyon the Father, has placed all things under “His” feet! 

(His = Yehwah Elohe = Messiah Yeshua) 

The resurrected Saints, will not be equal to Messiah. The Saints will become like the Angels, as members of the Eloheyem Family. The Saints are fellow servants, with the Angels, assisting Messiah the King in the Kingdom of the Father.

Immortal Red Hot Worm?

 A “Worm”, by any other name, may not be “Rosie”!

Here are three different Hebrew words that have been translated, “Worm”:

1. Isa 51:8; 

(Sa-Sa = סָס = a worm, similar to the Latin term: “coccus = a small insect that begins its life as a worm”)

2. Job 24:20; 17:14; 

(R-M-Ha = רִמָּה = a worm or maggot that feeds on dead bodies)

3. Job 25:6; Psa 22:6; Isa 41:14; 66:24; 

(tH-Wu-L-Oa...tH = תּוֹלַעַת = Crimson...Marked) and mistranslated into the word (worm? 

(while feeding on the sap of oak trees, the female insect, “coccus ilicis”, produces small scarlet colored worms, that are used to create a red colored dye) 

However, the Hebrew word: (tH-Wu-L-Oa = תּוֹלַעַ = only emphasizes the color, Crimson or Scarlet.   

(tH-Wu-L-Oa...tH = תּוֹלַעַת = Crimson or Scarlet = “תּוֹלַעַ”...Marked = “ת”, a suffix representing a sign or marker)

JOB Wanted?

 Who was Jobe? And what is Job’s relationship to Abraham. How does Job’s suffering and restoration, compared to Abraham’s Covenant Blessing and Hope of the Resurrection.

The following Bible study presents the available scriptural evidence concerning Job’s identity and his place in the Biblical timeline.

Why? A Second Death!

 Within Christianity, there exists a theological belief that promotes the misconception of an “Immortal Soul.” However, let’s examine what scripture actually says.

From the beginning, it becomes evident.

Genesis 1:26; states that the physical creation of humanity, a gift of life, is fragile and interdependent. It was ordained for a purpose of forming a family, spiritually united to the Eternal Father and Son.

Genesis 2:7; 9; 16; 17; 3:17; 19; 21; 22; 23; Emphasizing this point. The first humans, Adam and Eve, received a warning from Yehwah Elohe. They were told that eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil would bring death and that their temporary physical existence would return to the dust from which they were made. So, why would Adam and Eve choose to eat from the tree of evil, knowing it would lead to their death?

Genesis 3:1; 2; 3; Exposing the Deception. Satan, the Adversary, actively promoted the belief in an “Immortal Soul.” Satan deceived Eve by claiming that she could eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil without dying.

1 Tithe 2 Tithe or 3?

 The agrarian culture of the ancient world, seems far disconnected from modern society. And mega churches, with televised media, websites, publications, and musical performances, are intended to attract members. Almost limitless, choices are available, to please any personal preference, for spiritual fulfillment. And the religious experience comes at a price.

So what is the biblical principle for funding religious worship?

The Tithe!

Yes - No or Not I ?

 The Hebrew word: “No or Not”, may sometimes Express a positive intention, or a rhetorical question. There are two main Hebrew words: “LE = לֹא or EL = אַל”, that are often used to express, “No or Not”. Sadly translators often make mistakes. An incorrect use of the word “No or Not”, occur in: 

(Ex 20:3; Isa 2:9-10; Jer 18:23; Neh 5:4; )

Exodus 20:1–2 (NASB95) — 1 Then (God = אֱלֹהִ֔ים = Eloheyem) spoke (E-tH = אֵ֛ת = Sign of Covenant) )all = כָּל = K-L) (these words = הַדְּבָרִ֥ים = Ha...D-B-R-Ye-M), saying, 2 “(I am = אָֽנֹכִ֖י֙ = E-N-K-Ye) (Lord God = יהוה אֱלֹהֶ֑֔י = Yehwah Elohe), who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

Alpha and Omega?

 Covenant אָת Sign

The “First” letter of the Hebrew alphabet: ( אָ = figuratively portrays the Father, as the “Head” of governing authority). The “Last” Hebrew letter: ( ת = tH = represents a sign or marker). Uniting the “First” and “Last” letters together: ( אָת = E-tH = is a Covenant Sign of agreement).

Even the Hebrew word: (Sabbaths = שַׁבְּתֹת = sh-B-tH-tH = Ends with the “ ת =tH = sign or marker”, of “ שַׁ = sh = Unity” within a “ בְּ = B = House =  ).

(Ex 31:13; 16; 17; Eze 20:12; 19; 20; )

Fountain of Youth?

 This Bible study, on Isaiah 65:20; began with a question. Why was a son, considered Young, at 100 years old? 

Isaiah 65:20; is a reference to the Second resurrection and time of judgment. Translation errors caused confusion. Pursuing truth requires, careful examination, of the original Hebrew language and sentence structure. The Hebrew Old Testament, reveals the contrasting distortions, within modern translations.

Judge Angels?

There is a strange belief, that Resurrected Saints, Will become God’s. Transforming the Saints, to  be like the (Lord God Almighty = Yehwah Elohe the Messiah Yeshua. Will the Saints rule over, and “Judge Angels?” What does scripture, Truly Reveal?

(Job 1:6; 2:1; Psa 82:1; 6; Jn 10:34; 35; 36; )

True Messiah vs 70 LXX Rabbi

When investigating the original Hebrew and Greek languages, within the Bible. It becomes evident, within the diverse translations, that there exist misleading interpretations, and deceptive fraud. Restoring Truth, requires digging deeply, for the Root of the Word, within Hebrew and Greek.

the following Bible study, is a careful examination of the original Hebrew old Testament text. Comparing the (AFAT Hebrew), (LXX Greek translation of Hebrew), and (LES English translation of the LXX). The (NASB) English translation of the Old Testament Hebrew, has been added, for comparison with   the (LXX Greek Septuagint). The (LXX) has obviously been altered to corrupt the original Hebrew old Testament.

Psalm 22:2–3 (AFAT) — 2 אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי׃ 3 אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְלֹא־דוּמִיָּה לִי׃

Between 300-100 B.C the Greek (Septuaginta = LXX the Roman numeral 70), was translated from the original Hebrew scriptures. The Jewish people, were influenced by Hellenistic mythological beliefs,  culture, and language, during the reign of the Greek Empire. Seventy Jewish rabbis published the Septuaginta, at the request, of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (the Greek Pharaoh of Egypt. Translating Hebrew to Greek, would seem to require, an equivalent word for word definition. Proper translations, maintain contextual representations, of the original language, Word order, and grammatical relationships. The addition of interpretation, reveals distortions within the understanding, of a person reading the original Hebrew.

Here is a perplexing question? Did Messiah Yeshua, instruct His disciples, that it is impossible to calculate the timing, for the restoration of Yehwah Elohe’s Kingdom, on earth. 

Amos 3:7 (NASB95) — 7 Surely the (Lord God = Yehwah Elohe) does nothing Unless He reveals His secret counsel To His servants the prophets.

and you are all brothers.

Did messiah and His disciples, speak Hebrew or Aramaic? Answering this question is beneficial, for proving the accuracy of Scriptures with in the New Testament Gospels.

Knowing Yehwah?

NASA Photo

Did Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, know the Eternal, by His name Yehwah Elohe?

(Ex 3:15; ) Yehwah, revealed to Moses. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, knew His name, (Lord =Yehwah = יהוה) (God = Elohe = אֱלֹהֵי). And Moses, often recorded Yehwah’s, Hebrew title, within the book of Genesis. The book of Genesis, is a revelation to Moses, from Yehwah Elohe. So, why, should anyone doubt, that Abraham, isaac, and Jacob, knew the name of Yehwah Elohe?

Exodus 6:3; Mis-translations of the Bible, often cause confusion. So, correcting error, requires a careful examination of the original Hebrew text. Searching for Truth, may lead to surprising discoveries.

Hebrew - Yehwah's Word

NASA Photo

The Old Testament was written in Hebrew. And the Jewish people, have carefully preserved copies of the original Hebrew Scriptures, from the day of Moses. The modern Jewish State of Israel, has renewed interest in the Hebrew dialect, spoken by their ancestors Abraham and Eber. The preserved Hebrew text, is the language of the Jewish people, and spoken by Messiah Yeshua, and his disciples.

So, why would some language historians, claim that the first century Jews, spoke Aramaic?

Blessings of Abraham

NASA Photo

Abraham is called, the father of the Faithful. Abraham Obeyed Yehwah Elohe's, Covenant Commandments, and became a blessing to all nations. So then, is the blessing received, by just believing? Or, is Faithful Obedience to the "Covenant Law", required to receive the Blessing?

The blessing to Abraham, appears to have two separate parts. The first blessing, confirms that Abraham, would receive, the promised "Seed or Son". The Second blessing, represents a "Land Covenant",, that is promised to Abraham and his descendants.

The Promised "Seed", prophetically envisions, the future "Savior Yeshua" the Son, of the Most High.

The "Promised Land", portrays the future Kingdom of Yehwah Elohe on earth.

God or gods?

NASA Photo

Most Bible translations cause perplexing problems, by misrepresenting the original Hebrew or Greek language. Also, Jewish rabbis and Christian Bible teachers, add theological interpretations, that may alter the intended meaning or purpose of words. One question persists. Rabbis teach there is one God. But, most Christians believe, God is a Trinity. So then, is there, 1 God 2 Gods, or many gods?  

The Old Testament, was written in Hebrew, and the original text contains multiple variations of each word, that have been vaguely interpreted, and redefined as , "Lord" or "God".
