This is Chapter 18 of the Book of Love, by Yahchanan
What christmas means to me.
Christmas is the time when parents teach their children it is okay to lie!! Yes, parents relentlessly tell their children to not lie, but then one day they admit Santa Claus is not real. The whole north pole thing is a big lie which was perpetrated on the hapless kids, along with the Easter bunny and so forth. These lies are to prepare the children for the next, much bigger lie that is to come.
Now a kid hears that he has to worship "Jesus", because December 25th
is his birthday. So the child rightfully expects another lie, and that is exactly
what he gets.
This person named Jesus is supposed to be ~2000 years old, but the history man says
that name didn't exist back then. And it is certainly not a Hebrew name. So who's
birthday is it? Yes, I believe there is a Messiyah. And, no, 'Jesus' is not the
modern-day version of His Name. 'Jesus' is neither a proper transcription transliteration
nor a translation.
'Jesus' is a different name which
was carefully chosen by the catholic translators to lead us away from the
real Messiyah. Many people claim Jesus comes from Zeus, king of the Greek gods.
They say when you worship Jesus you are worshipping a Greek god, who is a demon!
Mexicans pronounce Jesus like a friendly greeting: Hey, Zeus!
Not: GEEzuz; like so many American televangelists. Yahushua
contains YHWH. Jesus contains Zeus. The name Jesus is a deception, no matter how
much the christians jump up and down.
Furthermore, the title 'christ' actually comes from the god Krishna. The English
'christ' comes from the Greek 'Christus' or 'Kristos', which comes from
the Sanskrit 'Krishna', which is the name of the Hindu god Krishna. All three
words mean: anointed one. The scriptures
were written in Hebrew, and His title was MessiYah, which means: anointed of Yahwah.
Since Messiah means 'anointed one', and Krishna means 'anointed one', they must have
thought it would be fine to use Krishna's name (Greek 'christos'; Romanized 'christ')
in the bible instead
of MessiYah? And why not, since they had already replaced the name of Yahushua with the
fake: Jesus. In the Old Testament they used the real Romanized English version of
Yahushua, which is: Joshua. In the New Testament they used a different name: Jesus.
If christ is indeed derived (poorly transliterated) from Krishna
(the name of that blue dude), then it is not a title. It is a NAME. And therefore it
is most definitely NOT okay to use it regarding our Savior: Yahushua Messiyah. Messiyah
is a title, it applies to Yahushua and many others. 'Christ' should be translated back
to 'Messiyah'.
Whether those are true or not, the pronunciation of the Messiyah's
Name begins with
a "Yah..." sound, the same as Yahwah. Without that sound, the meaning and the power
of the name is lost ('Yahushua' means 'Yahwah is Salvation'). It is an insult to change
someone's name without their permission. The Messiyah was Hebrew, son of David. He
definitely had a Hebrew name. Reading at the end of Revelation, it
says we are to not change any of the words in the scripture. And yet the two most
important words of all - the Names of Yahwah and Yahushua - have been completely
removed from the scriptures and replaced with different words. What are the meanings
of those new words? They do not have the divine meanings the real Names have. When
the christians worship "Jesus Christ", are they actually worshipping Zeus and Krishna??
It would seem so.
Probably even worse is the idea that christians worship 'Christ'
- as opposed to worshipping Yahwah.
Even if the title is innocent (not derived from Krishna), they have forgotten the
teaching of the man they claim to worship. The Messiyah said to worship Yahwah.
But they don't. Part of the change came when they decided to be different from the
Jews, and worship in their own way. They claimed that since the Jews killed the
Messiyah, then obviously they were bad - and so the christians did not want anything
to do with Jewishness. Well, yes, the Jews were bad. They did not follow scripture
- but that is not a sufficient reason for the rest of the world to reject scripture.
Even if it was, if you want to worship the Messiyah, the first thing you should
do is learn what He taught you -> the Name of the Creator. Worship Yahwah! Reject gods!
Reject idols! Do not sin! But the christians
can't bring themselves up to that. They won't even celebrate the sabbath given to
Adam and Eve and all of humanity because they call it the: Jewish Sabbath.
The bible does not give Messiyah's date of birth. This is because celebrating birthdays is what astrologers do, and astrology is strictly forbidden in scripture. True believers do not 'celebrate' birthdays. Astrology came from the great religion of Nimrod. It is believed by many that December 25th was Nimrod's birthday. He can be found in the scriptural history as the first worldwide bad man after Noah's time. The catholic bible implies that he was just a hunter, no big deal. Sounds like he's hunting for food. But supposedly he was also hunting human souls away from Yahwah. In Hebrew Nimrod means: he rebelled. He was the builder of the Tower of Babel. The founder of the great pagan religion which is today called christianity, catholicism, and babylon (much information is given about Nimrod in the Book of Jasher, which you will find on my menu. Also note that he is sometimes called Amraphel, like in Genesis 14:1. He is also called Nicolaus, Saint Nick, and Santa Claus).
The catholics celebrate the ancient pagan holydays, but they pretend
they are celebrating holydays to the Creator. They ignore the holydays which are
explicitly spelled out in scripture (even in their own modified version of the scripture,
which they call the 'holy bible'). They pretend to worship the Creator and the Savior,
but they won't even speak or teach their Names. Instead, they call out the titles of Satan.
And a catholic church is full of the idols forbidden by scriptures. They even have
them hanging on the walls! Even worse, on their holydays (xmas and Easter)
they put lots of these idols out in their yards in front of their houses. Yes, you
have your baby Jesus idols, your three wise men statues, your santa claus idols,
your decorated trees cut from the forest, your eggs and rabbits at spring rebirth,
and so forth. All of which is condemned in their bible.
Yeshayah 8:19 says: should a people not seek to their
Father? On behalf of the living
should they seek to the dead? Still I watched my dying mother cling tenaciously
to her little statue (idol) of 'Saint Joseph', because the catholics taught her that it/he
could help her somehow. The catholics teach you to pray to dead men, instead of
to our Creator and our Messiyah. The christians
cling to their idols. They have the silly things hanging on the walls
in the church. You are supposed to go in, kneel down, bow your head, clasp your hands,
and pray to these idols!
The people believe the preachers who claim they believe in the Creator,
but they actually believe in Satan. Therefore the people are deceived into worshipping
Satan. For example, the Roman Catholic religion officially believes in evolution, although
they pretend to believe in creation. So catholics are deceived into belonging to
an evolutionist organization - a cult! At judgment time the people will say that it is not their
fault, it is the fault of the preachers. But since the truth is eventually known
to anyone who searches for it, those people will go right to hell with Satan. That
is what they get for not doing their own thinking and studying.
Is that why the bible says the whole world is deceived into worshipping
Satan? People think they are being good enough, but in fact they are sinners, so
they get punished in the end. You think you're worshipping the Creator, but you
are actually worshipping Satan! The priests lie to the people, and lead them astray.
It is okay to tell lies in Satan's religion. It is the responsibility of each person
to study, and to learn the truth.
What is the best way to tell a lie? First, tell the truth 1,000
times. Then, when they believe in your honesty, lie. Give them two opposing choices to believe
in, and tell them those are the only choices. Tell the truth about everything else.
You see, this is what satan did to you. When you read the bible, nearly everything
is true. So you believe it. Then you are given two choices, evolution or God. You
choose. But you don't know there's a third choice - Yahwah. And that is the correct
choice. But, if you study the bible well enough, you will realize that no religion
actually believes in it, they lie to you to get you to join their cult. These two
choices are the reason scripture says: Do not turn to the right hand, nor the left.
What happens is that lots of people start out with religion. They study and
learn, and they realize the religions are all false. No religion believes what they preach,
so religion is rejected, and the only other known choice is accepted - evolution. Conversely,
many people start out with evolution. When they realize it is a farse, they reject it. And
they then accept what they think is the only option - God. But satan has hidden the
truth - there is a third option. Scripture says only a very few people will find the narrow
road down the middle, the road to Yahwah.
Too bad the Israelites and christians took the
Name and title of the Creator out of the scriptures and replaced it with
"The LORD God" (adonai el). 'God' is not a name, it is a title. Did you know that?
'El' is what the Canaanites called their deity. Moshe told the Israelites when they
went into the promised land to kill every Canaanite and destroy their religion.
But instead the Israelites adopted parts of the Canaanite religion. The Israelites
quit calling on
the Name of the Heavenly Father, the Creator. They put the Canaanite titles
into the scripture, and began calling on the devil.
And of course every version of the bible contains numerous verses
condemning the worship of the god known as Ba'al. So if you look up Ba'al, you find
out that the English version of that name is "Lord". Ba'al is satan, as you can probably
tell. The Israelites used their word 'Adonai' to replace the Name of Yahwah in the
scriptures. Adonai means 'Lord', and previously was never applied to the Creator
as a title. Modern bibles are full of verses like: "Praise the name of the Lord!"
What is the name of "the Lord"? Ba'al! The scriptures are full of verses condemning Ba'al
(like in the 10 commandments).
Everybody who calls on The Lord God is really worshipping Satan!
Did you wonder why Yahwah allowed the Israelites to be conquered and carried away
into captivity? It is because they no longer worshipped Him. They were praying instead
to Adonai El, the Canaanite deity. The Israelites pretended they were praying
to Yahwah, but, apparently, that is not good enough for Yahwah.
By changing the names in the book, Satan has tricked you into
worshipping Satan. The devil has deceived the whole world.
So the new testament states there is only ONE
Name that a person can be saved by. The old testament says the same thing,
and it is the same name. Yet the catholics have removed
that Name from their bible and replaced it with a completely unrelated word: Jesus
Christ. And all of christianity has followed suit. Don't they want
us to know His real Name? Or rather, WHY don't they want us to know His real Name?
Since there is only one Name that can save us, why do catholics pray to so many
dead "saints", and to Jesus, and to Lord God?
According to the catholic bible, and the real scriptures, the sabbath
of the Creator is the seventh day of the week. It starts Friday at nightfall and
ends Saturday at nightfall (the evening and the morning were the first day, ...
first there was darkness, and then there was light). The Messiyah celebrated
the seventh day of the week as the sabbath. If that was the wrong day He would've
told us. The Jews have their own calendar, which they scrupulously keep, regardless
of what the rest of the world does. Therefore we know that Saturday was and still
is the seventh day.
The catholics even teach that the seventh day (they call it Saturn-day)
IS the correct Sabbath! The scriptures
say Messiyah died the afternoon before a sabbath,
and the catholics call that: good Friday. And the scriptures say He was raised the day
after a sabbath, and the catholics teach that was on: Easter Sunday. They claim
to be a follower of Yahushua Messiyah, but they don't even bother teaching His Name
- they've re-named Him: Jesus Christ (without permission). Worse, they ignore
His teachings and commandments. Christianity is about worshipping Him who they call
christ, and ignoring what He taught.
They have also rejected
the Sabbath He observed and taught, instead they observe Nimrod's sun-god-day. Again,
the catholics have admitted many
times they are the ones who changed the sabbath day, without permission.
Obviously they tell a lie when they claim to follow Yahshua's example.
They reject the Ten Commandments they claim to believe in. How much more
obvious does it need to be?? (In order for Him to have been in the grave three
days and three nights, it is obvious that one of the scriptures refers to the weekly
Sabbath, and one of them refers to a High Sabbath. There were two sabbath days while He was in the
grave, the first day of Unleavened Bread, then the weekly: see my
Resurrection Day page.)
Is it a sin to make fun of Yahwah's Word? How about all those christians who
reject Yahwah's sabbath, and demand that Yahwah accept the sabbath day which the
christians want? And since the christians have defined the new sabbath day which Yahwah
has to accept, that means the christians get to define HOW to honor that day - no longer
do they have to abide by Yahwah's sabbath rules!! One recent Saturday morning I needed
some peace and quiet, so I went and parked on a street which is in between two christian
churches, Roman Catholic on one side, Methodist on the other. What could be
quieter than a christian church on the sabbath, right? They are all out partying or shopping
or whatever. And it was quiet, not a single person was at either church that morning. That was
until the lawnmower guy showed up! Silly christians, none of them was in their church on
the sabbath, except the gardener who was working...
Any person who belongs to a religion should seriously study the practices of that religion. Does the religion practice what it preaches? For example, the catholics claim to believe in the teachings of the bible, but they refuse to practice those teachings. Such as, catholics regularly eat pork, shrimp, lobster, mushrooms, and other forbidden foods. They celebrate ancient pagan holydays instead of the biblical holydays. Do you want to belong to a religion that is lying to you? Because these people follow the teachings of the pope instead of the scriptures, they all belong to a cult. Christians accept the parts of the bible they want to accept, then they deliberately mis-interpret the parts they can get away with, and they ignore the rest.
It is truly amazing how many people there are who claim to be christians,
but who have never read the bible they claim to believe in!! And
I don't mean verses or chapters here and there. I mean to actually read the
whole book from the first page to the last page. I have done it fourteen times,
from beginning to end. Many people read little parts of it, and take them out of
context, and decide that they know what is what. Too bad for them. But what is worse,
many people don't even bother to read and understand a little! They just decide
to "believe in" whatever other humans tell them.
Even though the Catholics redacted the true scriptures as much as they could, their own Holy Bible still condemns them. That is why they do not like to read it, and that is why they never encouraged me to read it. They give a few quotes here and there, then tell you to shut up and close the book while they tell you what they want you to believe.
If you are not worshipping the Creator YHWH, then you are worshipping Satan
(directly or indirectly). Everybody who worships Jesus Christ or The Lord God, or
who celebrates the sabbath on Sunday, is a catholic of some form. If you celebrate
christmas and Easter, you are a catholic. Catholics (all
christians) refuse to do what the scriptures say, instead they
happily practice an ancient pagan religion which is condemned in their own bible!!!
Xmas sux. Buncha hypocrites acting like they're cool; buncha
christians all full of themselves, thinking it is okay for them to sin as much as
they like and they'll go to heaven anyways; buncha fools trying to be like the fools
next to them; buncha idiots! Christianity is a fake religion full of lies and
paganisms. Nothing but a cult. The whole stand-sit-kneel-sing routine should make that obvious.
Ya, they tell you garbage like: It is okay to refer to Yahushua
as Yeshua or Y'shua, because that's what the Jews do, and because He knows who you
are talking to. Do your homework, what does 'blasphemy' mean? It does not mean taking
His Name in vain (as in: God damn). It means: to bring Yahwah's Name to nothing, to
make Yahwah's Name worthless. So when you remove Yahwah's Name from Yahushua by calling
Him Yeshua or Y'shua, you have committed blasphemy. Remember that one of the most
important things the Messiyah did was to come to earth in the Name of the Father.
When you refuse to say Yahwah's Name you have committed blasphemy, especially if
you call Him 'God' instead.
And so I don't do xmas anymore. Belief in xmas, Easter, etc are all traditions of
men. Why do all christians reject the teachings of the bible? They are lied to by their
religions, and they don't bother to READ the bible and learn from what it tells them.
When I was a believer in the Lord God and in Jesus Christ the
world loved me. I had a good job and a career, money, friends, and so forth. That
is because when you pray to God you are praying to 'the God of this world', who
is satan. And satan helped me build up worldly things. But not now. As soon as I
rejected God, and believed in Yahwah and Yahushua, the world hated me. That is
because whenever someone sees me or hears my name, the God and demons who possess
that person start screaming in his/her head. The person does not know why
s/he hates me, just that they do. And so now the world in general has turned against
me.
Yahchanan 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil. 15:18 If the world hates you, you know it hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
What it means to me, is, everybody who celebrates xmas will go to hell.

Consider the 'Three Kings' which are shown in every nativity scene. This is scriptural nonsense! It is christian 'traditions of men'.

This single sentence is screaming at me. Good grief, this is one of the slickest lies I have ever heard. Heaven?? Don't they read the scriptures? We would live on earth! The true believers do not go to heaven, they go to earth. The English word: God? It comes from El, the pagan Canaanite deity which pre-dated Abraham. They expect you to give your soul to: Lord Jesus Christ?? But wouldn't that be: Baal Zeus Krishna?! They say all you need is faith - they ignore the idea that you must obey the law. By saying all you need is faith, they convince you that you do not need to read and obey the scriptures. They say: just believe what WE tell you, and you can go to heaven forever.

Catholics say it is okay to sin every day. You then say some prayers
at the end of the month, and all is forgiven (so what happens if you die after you
sin and before you go to confessional?). I suppose that is fine if you are
following satan's religion, but their own bible says that you must not sin at all,
ever! Yahushua saves from death, not from the law. There is not
a christian in this world who obeys the laws of Yahwah. They refuse. They even refuse
to do what the Messiyah commanded them! That is why they HAVE to insist to you that
it is okay to sin!! They justify their sins by saying it is impossible to not sin.
By the time we are old enough to discern right and wrong, we
are already sinners. But we can have those sins erased. After our old sins are erased, we must not sin
- at all. Yahushua's life proves that a human can live without sinning. He set the
example. When He said "Follow Me" He meant His sinless example, not His actual footsteps.
From Adam onwards mankind has been told to not sin. Yahwah expects us to not sin.
Moshe and the prophets reiterated that many times. Yahushua expects us to not sin.
Yahushua's death saves us from the eternal 'second death', if we believe in Him. It does this by forgiving
us of our past sins, and making us clean. But if you commit sin
after that, then off to hell you go. Yahushua's death does not save you from the
final judgment, where you are judged by your works.

Whosoever does not do righteousness is not of Yahwah, neither he who does not love his brother. 22 and whatsoever we ask we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is His commandment, that we should believe in the Name of His Son Yahushua the Messiyah, and love one another, even as He gave us commandment. 24 And he that keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him.

Remember the Ten Commandments? One of them says: You shall
not lie. It does not say: you can lie sometimes - if you feel like it. It does
not say: since you are a human, it is impossible to not lie. It does not say: you
can lie sometimes, as long as you tell the truth most of the time. It does not say:
go ahead and lie, you will still go to heaven. It does not say: you shall 'try to'
not lie. It does not say: it is okay to lie to someone if you think they lied to
you first. It does not say: it is okay to tell a 'white' lie. It does not say: it
is okay to pretend. It does not say: it is okay to lie to prevent hurting someone's
feelings. It does not say: it is okay to lie if you feel obligated somehow. NO! Yahwah
knew you were a human when
He told you: DO NOT LIE. Since He created you, He knows you are capable of not lying.
So, if you are a christian, tell me even one of the ten commandments
that men cannot possibly obey. Personally, I find it easy to go through life without
lying. Actually, it is easier than lying! Because when I was a liar I had to clog
my brain trying to remember
all those lies and scenarios, so that I would not be caught later in the lie. When
a christian tells you it is impossible to not lie, ask him which scripture says
that? Most likely they will start babbling about the "new covenant" which they say
gives you permission to lie and sin. So what about it?
Hebrews 8:6 But now He has obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which is enacted upon better promises. 7 For if that first covenant was faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second.They claim that after many generations YHWH had a better idea, having learned from His mistakes, so He came up with a new covenant. Where does the scripture say that? Yahwah knew the end before the beginning. He never changes. He doesn't make mistakes. He has never "had a better idea" because the old idea didn't work out. That is catholic propaganda! They try to reduce Yahwah to the status of a human parent raising children, learning as they go. There is no fault with the first covenant - the only fault is with the people who refuse to obey it.
Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, He said: Behold, the days come; says Yahwah; I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 9 Not according to the covenant I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt. They did not continue in my covenant, and I did not regard them: says Yahwah.Verse 8 says: For finding fault with them. The "them" refers to the Israelites, who would not keep the covenant. He did not find fault with the agreement. Verse 9 shows it was the people who were a problem, not the agreement.
Hebrews 8:10 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days: says Yahwah. I will put my laws into their mind, and I will also write them on their heart. I will be to them a Father, and they will be to me a people.This has not happened yet. It is what happens after the final judgment. That should be obvious when you continue reading:
Hebrews 8:11 They will not teach every man his fellow-citizen, and every man his brother, saying: Know Yahwah. For all will know Me, from the least to the greatest of them.Nowadays very few people know Him, therefore, this has not come true yet. Until after the last judgment, He will not forget your sins. If you are tempted to commit a sin even once, even the smallest sin, then you should acknowledge that Yahwah has not written any laws into your mind and heart. You are still possessed by satan. That should be obvious! It is not Yahwah who tempts you to sin.
Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more. 13 In that He said: a new covenant; He made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxes aged is ready to vanish away.The old covenant is still in existence - it has NOT vanished away yet. It is: ready to vanish. These statements were made after Yahushua died and rose, and after the apostles were filled with Yahwah's Spirit - yet the first covenant was still in effect. The first covenant was a permanent agreement! Speaking of the last days, Yeshayah mentioned the original covenant:
Isaiah 24:4 The earth mourns and fades away, the world mourns and fades away, and the haughty people of the earth languish. 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants of it, because they transgress the Laws, changed the ordinance, and broke the everlasting covenant. 6 Because of this, the curse [Jesus] devours the earth, and those who dwell therein are desolate. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.Yeremyah also shows that the "new covenant" begins after Yahshua's return to earth: Starting with 31:27 Yahwah is talking about the return of both Israel and Judah to their lands, and this event has not happened yet.
Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come: says Yahwah; I will make a new covenant with the house of Yisrayah, and with the house of Yahudah. 32 Not according to the covenant I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my which covenant they broke, although I was a husband to them: says Yahwah. 33 But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Yisrayah after those days: says Yahwah. I will put my torah [Law] in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their Father, and they will be my people. 34 They will not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying: Know Yahwah. For they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them: says Yahwah. I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.Until Judgment Day Yahwah still remembers our sins! After that is the new covenant. The only difference between the old covenant and the new covenant is that we will be forced to obey the old covenant Laws.
Psalms 19:7 The Law of Yahwah is perfect, converting the soulYahushua did not fulfill the law for you - that is something you must do for yourself. Every man is judged for his own sins, not for anyone else's sins (or Yahushua's lack thereof). He came to fulfill prophecy. He did not do away with the Law. It is still active, and you are still subject to it. Not one little bit of the law will change until the earth we live on is gone, and it will go away when Yahwah comes to the last "White Throne" Judgment. Any decent reading of the Book of Revelation will convince you the prophecy is not yet completed. There are still many steps to go before the old covenant (law/testament) is ended, and the new covenant starts. In Matthew Yahushua says: till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Here is when "heaven and earth pass away", prophecy is fulfilled, and the old covenant (law) ends:
Malachi 3:6 For I, Yahwah, do not change
Revelation 20:11 I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them.It looks to me like it would be a good idea to obey the commandments. The catholic concept that it is impossible to NOT sin is destroyed by the scriptures themselves. Who should you believe, the humans, or, the scriptures? Clearly, the scriptures expect you to be capable of NOT sinning. Yahwah expects you to NOT SIN! If you sin, you are of the devil, and will go to hell with the devil. You are required to know the law and obey it. Like the sabbath day, for example:
Enoch 91B:16 The first heaven will depart and pass away, and a new heaven will appear,
2Peter 3:7 but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word are stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of unrighteous men. 10 But the day of Yahwah will come as a thief; in the which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein will be burned up. 11 Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy living and righteousness, 12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of Yahwah, by reason of which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 But, according to His promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
Matthew 5:17-18 The Messiah said: Do not think I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tiny thing will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. [like the law which says no pork, and no shrimp or lobster, you are still supposed to obey that law, and all of the other laws]Whatever is not in the original scriptures is the teachings (commandments, traditions) of men. For example, the Talmud is the teachings of men. The Talmud not only contradicts the scriptures in many places, it contradicts itself. The 'Holy Bible' is the teachings of men, since it is different from the original scriptures. Do not believe the teachings of men, unless they teach exactly the same thing as the scripture (in which case it is the teaching of Yahwah).
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until Yahchanan, from that time the evangel of the kingdom of Yahwah is preached, and every man enters violently into it. 17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.Matthew 15:7-9 [describes modern-day catholics well:] Hypocrites! Well did Yeshayah prophesy of you, saying: These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from Me. In vain do they worship Me, teaching the commandments of men as doctrines.
Mark 7:6 He said to them: Well did Yeshayah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written; This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. 7 In vain do they worship Me, teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men. 8 You leave the commandment of Yahwah, and hold fast the tradition of men. 9 And He said to them: Full well do you reject the commandment of Yahwah, that you may keep your tradition. 13 making void the word of Yahwah by your tradition, which you have delivered.
Isaiah 29:13 Yahwah said: Forasmuch as this people draw near to me, and with their mouth and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which was taught them.
Yeremyah 10:2 Do not learn the religious practices of the Gentile nations, and do not be deceived by the signs of heaven [astrology], though the heathen are deceived by them. 3 For the religious customs of the peoples are futile! For one cuts a [xmas] tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. 4 They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it will not topple.A christmas tree, condemned, in the Old Testament! -- NO, christmas has NEVER been about the birth of 'Jesus' - looks like it has always been about the birth of Nimrod the Sun God. Legend has it that December 25th has always been celebrated as the birthday of Nimrod - it is definitely NOT the day the Messiyah was born.
The Ten Commandments tell us to remember the sabbath day and
keep it holy. Yet that is the one day of the week the catholics refuse to even pretend
to keep holy.
As a child I was brought up in a catholic environment. I went to catholic school
five days a week, I went to catholic church on Sunday, I lived in a
catholic home, and I had catholic relatives. Guess what? Saturday
is the one day of the week where they deliberately avoid thinking about 'God'! Friday
night you are supposed to go out and party all night, and all through Saturday into
Saturday night. The sabbath of Yahwah is reduced to "party time". You are
encouraged to go out and commit sin - the more you sin the better! Go ahead and sin,
you are already forgiven for it! From Sunday morning through
Friday afternoon you are supposed to be thinking of their God. The christians all
do exactly the opposite of what they see in their own "holy bible".
The christians pretend to believe in the bible to give themselves
an air of legitimacy. But they do not lay down the law. That is because they all
want to be sinners, therefore they claim they won't be judged for their sins. But
without the law, there are only opinions. That way all they do is endlessly bicker
about it with each other, about what is right or wrong. Since everyone has a different
opinion, who is to say what is right? Satan wins because all they do is jump up
and down endlessly, and continue sinning.
They spend six days telling you it is impossible to not sin.
And then on the seventh day of the week - the sabbath - they encourage you to sin!
The christians preach exactly the opposite of what their own bible says. And the
people willingly go for it. They want someone to say that it is okay if you sin -
you will still go to heaven. The priests say what the people want to hear.
That's why I don't do xmas anymore. I found out it is a pagan holiday,
and it is non-biblical on many levels. In fact I found out all of christianity is no
more than an elaborate cult. It is all banned by the bible they say they believe in. Easter
is particularly banned, as is worship of the Lord and Christ! If you search on the internet
you will finds gobs of good information regarding the 'origins of christmas'. You can also
look through the links page on this website.
Just because you think you are worshipping the
Creator, doesn't mean you are. If you really
want to worship the Creator, you will do lots of research to determine what the
Creator requires of you. You will ignore the teachings of men. It is up to you
to do the right thing with your life. You can't blame somebody else for your sins.
If you say: the priest deceived me!; that is your own fault. You should have studied
the scriptures if you really believed. And if you had studied, you would not have been deceived.
Isayah 9:16 For those who lead this people cause them to err, and those who are led of them are destroyed.It seems to me as if almost everyone would rather read ABOUT the scriptures, than to actually READ the scriptures. But that opens the door for deceit. If you are not reading the scriptures yourself, then how will you know if (when) someone lies to you? Do not obey the voice of men (me included) - except to read the scriptures yourself to see if what a person or god tells you is true, or not true. Too many people just choose to believe the words of a man - like the pope for example. Maybe that way, they think they can blame someone else for their sins? They can say it is not their fault they are sinners? It is not their fault they are too lazy to open the book and read it?
Now, some people say that they don't go for all that religious stuff. They
just celebrate christmas because it's a fun thing to do, with presents and so forth.
They don't believe in Jesus, they just like the season and the "goodwill towards
men" stuff. That really doesn't matter!! They are still celebrating
and practicing an ancient pagan holyday. It is the same as a Mormon or a Protestant
saying they aren't catholic -- they might SAY they are not a catholic, but
in reality: yes - they are catholics whether they believe it or not. ALL christians
are a form of catholic, itself derived from the pagan religion of Nimrod.
There is a book out now called: The Secret. From what I know
of it, this is a horrible book! Sure, you are taught lots of great stuff, like to
be nice to your fellow man, and to have a good attitude, and so forth. And I am
certainly for that. This earth definitely needs to have better people living on
it. I say you should decide for yourself what you want, and believe in yourself,
and go do it (as long as you don't inflict upon other people). Henry Ford said:
What you can conceive, and believe, you can achieve.
But then the book gets real wishy-washy. It teaches that instead
of believing in yourself and working for what you want, you should pray
to "the universe" and expect "the universe" to
give you what you
want. Uh, if you pray to the universe, and your prayer is answered,
who answered it? A Genie? The universe is an inanimate object, it cannot answer
your prayer - it cannot give you things. So, since you were not praying to Yahwah, therefore
you were praying to Satan
or his demons. They
answered
your prayer! The DVD cover for the book actually has a picture of "the universe"
looking down on you, ready to give you your desires. It looks like Satan! This is
the same "universal consciousness" which the psychics and astrologers have been connected
to all these years.
Regarding scriptural prophecy; many people say that they want specific dates
and events named. By saying that, they are actually saying that there is no way
they will believe the scriptures, no matter what they say. These people have chosen
to disbelieve all of the prophecy that has already come true.
But for example, let's say that there was a prophecy that on Sept 11-01 the twin towers of New York will be destroyed. So when the event comes to pass, do they say: I believe!? --NO--. They say: That was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Since there are so many fanatics and assholes in the world, it is obvious one of them would make the prophecy come true. The only reason that the buildings were destroyed is because some moron got the idea from the scriptures and decided to do his 'duty'. Without the prophecy no one would have bothered to do the deed, and the towers would still be there.
So let's say that there is a prophecy which man can't fulfill. Say that: In September of 1850 a huge comet will crash into the moon (we now have the capacity to do this, hence, the old date). This comet crash will splash rocks all over, and for 10 months rocks will rain down on the earth, punishing mankind for his evil deeds. Half of the population of the world will be killed. So why isn't this kind of prophecy made? Simple, because man has a free will.
Scripture plainly says we can choose to do right, and then not suffer the consequences of sin. The specific actions of a free will cannot be predicted, only the probability of that action. The probability that a large group of people will eventually reach a certain state of sinfulness can be predicted with reasonable certainty (please study the Second Law Of Thermodynamics). So the prophet can say that ^sometime^ in the future mankind will be depraved, and therefore this is the punishment he will receive when he reaches that depravity. But to determine the actual date ahead of time means that man does not have a free will. He has a destiny which he can't escape. Which means that we would all be puppets, and therefore we would not be responsible for our sins.
Which goes back to the old argument. If you were the Creator, creating
beings to share the universe with you, do you create them with free will - or as
puppets or robots who do what you say? Would you want to be loved? Robots don't love you.
They act like they do because that is how they are programmed. Without the capacity
to turn against you, there is no real sharing, and no real love. If you give them the
capacity to turn against you (free will) then almost certainly they will do it as
a whole. There will always be some who do, the only questions are how many and how
soon. A deeper discussion of the issue of
evolution can be had HERE. Also, I have some
notes on Genesis.
We are to worship and pray to Yahwah
our Creator and Heavenly Father,
in the Name of Yahushua our Messiyah
and Savior.
By their Names !!
