Christian Study

Many churches teach the nonsense that Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament, was harsh and angry, but Jesus, Yahshua, of the New Testament is all Love. We have only one God.

Isaiah 43:11 “I, I am Yahweh; and beside me there is no savior.”

This is evident even in the name. The Hebrew name Yahshua is transliterated through the Greek Iesous to the English Jesus. Yahshua means Yahh saves.

People who believe we have two diverse Gods should consider the many statements of love in the Old Testament including God’s marriage to Israel. They should also consider the Jesus who turned over tables and chased people with a whip from His temple. Those who’s money was scattered likely didn’t leave without feeling the snap from the whip.

John 10:30 “I and my Father are one.”

Heb 13:8b ..”the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”

Proverbs 3:1 “My son, don’t forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments”.

God has always wanted our love. We are also told

Proverbs 3:3 “Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.”

How do we show our love to God?

Deuteronomy 10:16 “Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.”

John 14:15 “If you love me, keep my commandments.”

Now God writes His Law on your hearts, Hebrews 10:16. That is the new covenant.

Hebrews 10:16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them: ‘After those days,’ says the Lord, ‘I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;'”

“If you do not keep my commandments, you do not love me.”

Islam’s sharia is Anti-Christ.

Judaism’s Talmud is Anti-Christ and filth.

Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.”

Understanding the nature of Yahweh God includes understanding His morals and His Law are a part of Him. Having another “religion’s” law in the land is a violation of the First Commandment.

Diversity is to divide and conquer, it is not strength.

We went to a church where the “preacher” taught that Christian growth was optional.

2 Peter 3:18a “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

Why?

Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God’s law, I will also forget your children.”

Yahweh God forgetting our children is a pretty bad punishment.

I have wondered about that “preacher’s” children. Later I found out that he ran off anyone who did exhibit any Christian growth. His scriptural knowledge was very weak and he intended to raise his family in a nice cushy job where his Eldership was several states away.

People make a false assumption that God will always bless and protect them regardless of what they believe, what they say or what they do.

Have things not been going so well with health, family or finances?

God does discipline! Pay attention to God’s word and Law first.

2 Samuel 24:14 “David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let us fall now into the hand of Yahweh; for his mercies are great. Let me not fall into the hand of man.””

By the way, it is a good indicator that if you see people prosper from doing evil, then they likely are not God’s people.

The promises to Abram concerning Ishmael were different than the promises made to Abraham concerning Isaac.

Genesis 17:7 “I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.”

Yahweh never promised to be the God of Ishmael. Isaac was the child of promise for Abraham.
