“Christianity”. . . Born of the Roman “Church” fathers?
Most Christians (who are not outright Roman Catholic) have NO IDEA that the Christian religion they believe in is actually born of Roman Catholicism. It’s true. . . They do not know their history. Most Christians believe that their faith is the faith of the direct disciples of Mashiach. However, that’s not

Ekklēsia or Church, Does It Matter?
By Peter Ditzel In the New Testaments of most English Bibles, the words “church” and “churches” appear a total of over one hundred times. (From now on, I will use “church” to stand for both the singular and plural.) With one exception in the King James Version (found in Acts

THE TWO PERSONAL NAMES OF THE CREATOR

HOW TO UTTER HEBREW VAV: “VAV” OR “WAW”?
There are scholars who teach that because Hebrew and Arabic are Semitic languages the Hebrew letter ו vav must have been pronounced waw [w] in ancient Hebrew, as it was in Arabic, instead of vav [v]. Although, it is true that both languages are closely related they are not identical

THE PRE-EXISTING FIRST-BORN SON OF ELOHIM
The question “Does God have a pre-existing Son, first-born of the creation?” always opens the door of polemic between religions that will never be closed by men. The verses from JPS translation (Gen 6:2-4, Job 1:6, Job 2:1, and Job 38:7) showing that the Creator of

HAS THE MESSIAH ABOLISHED THE LAW OF GOD?
“The Law of God” is very often understood to denote a strict set of rules and restrictions. In the western gentile mind the law connote negative associations with “dos and don’ts” and law-enforcement. The Law of God is also understood as an external burden the Christians do not need

“YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW OF GOD” EXPOSED

PAUL COMMENDED US TO OBSERVE SABBATH
Question: Christianity teaches us that we are not under the Law, but has Paul not commended us to observe the Sabbath? Answer: Yes, Shaul (Paul) has commended us to observe the Sabbath, because the Sabbath Commandment is a part of the Covenant of YHVH (see Exo 20:8-11) and as

THE HEBREW SHAVUOT VS. THE GREEK PENTECOST
On the day of Pentecost, according to the Christian tradition and theology, in the upper room of apostle Peter, a new religious entity called “the Church” was born apart from Israel. The “proof text” the Christian theologians find is in Act 2:1-2, as we read from KJV translation. And

DID PAUL CLAIM THE TITHES? WHAT DID HE CLAIM INSTEAD?
The official doctrine of the Church is that Paul claimed to the tithes of the churches, saying, “You shall not muzzle an ox while threshing”, and that in Chapter 9 of his first letter to the Corinthians he strongly asserts his rights. But he refuses to avail himself of his

THE NARROW GATE TO THE WORLD TO COME

Hebrew Word: Religion
There is no Hebrew word for religion. The concept of “religion” is a Greco-Roman dualism that divides a social life into religious and secular. However, this form of dualism is foreign to the Torah, which instead sees all aspects of life as one and the same: a righteous life. The

Question: Ever wonder why the Christianity was accepted so easily in pagan Rome?
Answer: In 313 A.D. the Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan and a new religion of Rome (known today as Christianity or Catholicism) was established. With the establishment of the new religion, the persecution of the non-Jewish believers in Yehoshua ceased, but not of the Jews; they were

In this study we will explain that there are no such things as “old” and “new” covenants for YHVH’s chosen people, but one everlasting Covenant that has been renewed. The “New Testament” and the “Old Testaments” are foreign for the Hebraic mindset terms crafted by the Roman Catholic Church

What Is Faith in the Hebraic Mindset?

Of course the New Testament tells us Paul was a “ringleader
