WISDOM FROM THE FATHER

My spiritual journey through the bible has changed significantly over the last few years.  I guess you could say, I’ve been “awakened”….meaning that prior to the blinders being removed, I was lulled into the beliefs of modern Christianity.  I hope my honesty does not offend my fellow brothers and sisters, but instead pique their curiosity.  After all, we come as children to our Father desiring to always learn, always be willing to change our minds based on revealed truth and certainly always desiring transformation that is pleasing to Him.

For starters, I have begun to learn new habits.  I call my Father, Yehovah’ (accent on last syllable) as a result of a long search and a continuing search into how His name is pronounced.  It is written YHVH and it has been an easy transition for me to write YHVH instead of God (His title).  Many scriptures instruct us into the importance of His name and that it is not to be forgotten, so I literally took them literal. 

As well, I have begun to call our Messiah, Yehoshua (or Yeshua) since this is well documented to be His name.  It means “Yehovah (abrev) saves” so why would we not want to declare that truth every time we use our Messiah’s name.  These significant changes to my habits have certainly caused some irritation and skepticism among family and friends.  We are creatures of habit whether they be good or bad, albeit.  But we also should be willing to align ourselves with what our Father says and learn from the example(s) in scripture.  The apostles all called Messiah, “Yehoshua” His given name.  His family, His friends and acquaintances all called Him “Yehoshua”.  Every time His name was spoken, glory was given to the Father.  Should we do any differently?

And this was the beginning of my journey.  What else in scripture have I ignored?  Where else do my beliefs not really have basis in truth?  How many other habits have I formed that were not really part of the 1^st century Saint’s life?  This began my quest that continues to this day.  So I will use this part of my blog to document some of these issues with respect to contradictions in our theology and what is actually written in scripture.  Hopefully, these issues will provide you with enough discomfort and curiosity that you will not rest until you resolve and reconcile what you believe and do to follow our Heavenly Father.

Will "love" be the death of us all?

Judge or judge not?

Do We Work for it? Modern Salvation Teaching is NOT Biblical Salvation

Have you read that the law is abolished?

Put Paul on trial and see for yourself

You have despised My holy things

Depart from Me

Saved FROM sin

Who is your Messiah?

Sign

Who told you so?

Are you trying to be Jewish?

What happened in Arabia?

Thou shalt not eat kitty cats and puppy dogs

The biblical church; do we care?

How narrow is "narrow"?

Are Song Lyrics our "Scripture"?
