Summary Statement of Belief for eternal life
Assembly of Yahweh, Cascade, March 26, 2024
We believe in One
Almighty Sovereign Creator Power named YHWH (Yahweh). That He is the
Ever-living Life-force Essence of the endless eternal Universe (the true G-d) [1]
as revealed to the ancient Hebrews by way of His celestial messengers (angels)
and by way of the anointed prophets [2] as recorded only in the Hebrew Bible.
We are told the Almighty is incorporeal and dwells throughout his created
eternal Universe, and that He is everywhere at all times. No mighty g-ds (or evil celestial beings) exist nor can exist before
Him or after Him in all of eternity, Isa. 43:10; 44:6; 44:8. Yahweh has always
existed, Psa. 90:2. He is set-apart, He is Eternal, Isa. 57:15, He is Omnipotent,
Jer. 32:17; 27, He is Omnipresent, Psa. 139:7, He is Omniscient; etc. He alone
is Truth, Psa. 117:2, and He is the only Creator, the original originator of
all, Isa. 40:12, 22, 26.
We believe the name of
this One Almighty Sovereign (He first gave to Moses) is אהיה
(AHYH),
Exo. 3:14, AHYH
(using English letters). His name means I-am, but we are to say יהוה
(YHWH),
Exo. 3:15,
He-is. YHWH (when transliterated using English letters) becomes YaH-WeH and means: He-is, He-exists, or Ever-living. Yahweh
is the only ONE Almighty to whom we owe our reverence, prayer, and worship. We
accept no other as our One Almighty Sovereign Creator Power and do not
believe in a Constantine Roman Catholic manufactured three in one 'Trinity g-d,
Deut. 5:7, [5].
We believe that Yahweh
uses His created celestial messengers, (aka angels) and His terrestrial
messengers (the prophets) to administer his will thoughout
His endless Universe, His creation. That these messengers also administer
Yahweh’s will to us on this globe. We believe these
messengers are not capable to counter His supreme will, nor would ever desire
to do so, that they would never nor could they ever
fall from His grace. In the Hebrew Bible, these celestial messengers may at
times be referred to as he-exists, or ever-living when they represent the
authority of the Almighty Sovereign Yahweh and are conversing with the
Adam-kind.
We believe that Yahweh,
because of His mercy forgives the sins of all those who with sincere repentance
accept Him as their only Redeemer and Savior, Isa. 1:16-18, [6]. For their
thankfulness these saved will observe Yahweh's Covenant (the 10 Commandments)
and will strive to do the will of their Almighty Heavenly Father Yahweh, Matt.
12:50, [7]. Yahshua (aka Jesus) calls all those that like him do the will of
Yahweh his brothers, sisters, and mother, Matt. 12:50, [8]. Like Yahshua is a
son of the Almighty Sovereign Creator Father Yahweh, these also become the sons
and daughters of the same heavenly Father. Together all are members of the same
household (Host) of their Heavenly Father Yahweh.
We
believe
that the promise of eternal life is given to all those believers that become
members of Yahweh's heavenly household because they will strive to do what
Yahweh asks of them for what is good by doing justly, to loving mercy, and
thereby they will continue to ‘walk humbly’ with their Almighty Heavenly Father
Yahweh. Mic. 6:6-8, [9].
We believe in the
precepts and principles found in Torah [10], as was also taught by the Prophet
Yahshua (Jesus) Matt.
7:21, [11]. These are all according to his statements as recorded in the
Synoptic Gospels [12] of the Greek New Testament (NT). Torah instructions are
similar to what a father would provide to guide his children throughout life.
We believe that the Covenant (the 10 Commandments), Deut. 5: 2-22, [13] is
applicable for all True Israelite believers but not the man-made sacrificial
laws, Jer. 7:21-23,
[14].
We believe the Greek NT
is simply a collection of opinions, conjecture, and hearsay, much of it by
unknown authors that were compiled many decades after the fact. Some historical
events about the prophet Yahshua may be believable, and some of his sayings or
teachings from unknown second or third hand recollections, but only if they
appear to follow the precepts that were first established by the anointed
Prophets in the Hebrew Bible Torah. However, note, we believe nothing written
in the NT claims to be inspired by Yahweh.
We believe Yahshua (aka
Jesus) of the NT was a 'natural born' Israelite man, an anointed prophet sent
by Yahweh to the Lost tribes of First Century of Israel, Matt. 15:24, [15]. His
mission was to preach repentance before Yahweh, to baptize them and to announce
the Gospel news - that the Kingdom (council) of Yahweh/of heaven had come,
Matt. 4:17, [16]. That the Kingdom of Yahweh was available for them as it is
for us today to dwell within all true believers [17]. Yahshua was not and is not Yahweh the
Almighty and he was not a sacrifice to please Yahweh so He could forgive sins,
Jer. 7:22; Isa. 1:11. Human sacrifice is pagan and strictly forbidden by
Yahweh, Psa. 106:37-41; Jer. 7:31.
We believe Yahshua's
Mission was to free the First Century Israelites from the religious traditions
and manmade oral laws that had enslaved them, and to turn these people back
toward their One Original Almighty Sovereign Creator Yahweh, Mark 7:9, [18] for
them to seek His counsel only for their lives. This angered the local
authorities and became a constant threat to the religious rulers of his day.
Over time this eventually resulted in his execution by Roman officials for the
crime of sedition,
Matt.
12:14, [19].
We
believe
that Yahshua was resurrected from the dead by Yahweh (according to the Gospels)
and subsequently ascended into heaven because he was faithful to his mission.
We do not believe that the Bible teaches in a future second coming of Yahshua,
but that the second coming of Yahshua has already occurred. We believe this
because the New Testament records - that some of those hearing him speak at that
time in history would still be alive to see him come into his ‘heavenly’
kingdom, Matt. 16:28,
[20].
We
believe
there is one global collective set-apart Universal Assembly of all True
Believers, and in the gathering together of home-group assemblies for worship,
fellowship, and communication on weekly appointed times and to observe the
seventh day for rest for our benefit, Deut. 5:12-14, [21]. We try to keep the
Biblical food laws for health reasons since Yahweh tells us what we should not
be eating.

[12] Synoptic
Gospels - are the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke that tell the story of the
mission of Yahshua, about his life, and quote him from a similar point of view,
and are similar in structure. This is likely because all three unknown authors
built their gospel using a common source. Matthew and Luke may have used
materials not available to early Mark. We do not give any reliable credit to
the 2nd century Gospel called John that has falsely spiritualized
Jesus into a g-d man. In the Synoptic Gospels Yahshua referred to himself as
the son of man many times, but never as G-d the son.
