Passover and Easter
Let us start with Passover. Should we celebrate Passover? First of all, Yahweh tells us to observe Passover. It is one of His Feast days. And if you believe that the Yahweh who spoke in the Old Testament was Messiah, then the verses below take on a lot more meaning. Have you ever asked…
Read MoreThe Night to Be Much Observed
In the 12th chapter of Exodus, there is an unusual observance given without much in the way of explanation, generally called “the “Night to Be Much Observed””. For those who observe Yahweh’s Holy Days, this “Night to Be Much Observed” has often been overlooked, or at least not looked at closely. Is there any…
Read MoreShould you hold fast to the traditions of your religious organization?
What do the Scriptures say about following men’s traditions and religious leaders? It is interesting to observe, Yahweh has a lot to say on this matter! First, we see over and over in the Scriptures warnings that saints should not follow traditions of men but should follow Messiah. So, it is clear, if traditions of…
Read MoreThe Reward
How will Yahweh reward believers of this age who believe, repent, are baptized in the name of YahwehShua, receive the Holy Spirit from the laying on of hands, and obey Yahweh and His Word until the Second Coming of Messiah? As we answer this question, we will give special attention to the 1,000-year reign of…

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell? Proverbs 30:4 The Great Riddle: “What is…
Read MoreWOMEN’S ROLE in the KAHAL
With Yahweh’s help we will attempt to define women’s role in the kahal. This is monumentally important because women have been put down in so many cultures and so many ways over the millennia that the last thing we want in the Body of Messiah is to unnecessarily restrict and suppress women. It’s a sobering…
Read MoreThe Body of Messiah
It is interesting to note all the different denominations in Christianity.

Should…
Read MoreHow do you know that you are sinning?
As believers we must strive to become more like Messiah (1 John 2:4-6 and 1 Peter 2:21), who was tempted in all ways like us, but without sin (Hebrews 4:15). So if the goal is to become more like Messiah, believers need to continually turn away from the temptation of sin. But how do…
Read MoreWas Yah’shua fully Yahweh on this earth?
This is a great question that has confused people through the ages. A lot of people believe that Yah’shua, the name of Messiah while on this earth, was both fully Yahweh and man. And most Christian denominations teach the same concept through incorrect names of “Jesus” and “God”. And what is taught is Yah’shua was…
Read MoreLaying on of Hands
As we explore the Scriptures, we will find that the laying on of hands has multiple uses in the Scriptures. However, it almost always portrays the bestowing of something supernatural from the one who puts their hands on another to the one who has hands laid on them. One of the first incidences of laying…
