We Believe that there is only One Almighty Sovereign Creator Power (G-d), Malachi 2:10; 2 Kings 19:15; Psalm 86:6-10; Isaiah 46:9, whose name is YHWH [1]. YHWH transliterated into English is YaHWeH (not Yahway), this comes from Exodus 3:14-15. Yahweh is the Ever-living Life-force Essence of the endless eternal Universe as revealed to the ancient Hebrews by way of His celestial messengers (angels) and by way of the anointed prophets [2] as recorded in the Hebrew Bible. We are told that Yahweh is incorporeal (not an entity) and that He exists throughout his Created Eternal Universe; that He is everywhere at all times. No mighty gods (or evil celestial beings) exist and cannot exist before Him or after Him, or challenge His authority in all eternity, Isaiah 43:10, 44:6, 44:8. Yahweh has always existed, Psalm 90:2, He is set-apart; He is Eternal, Isaiah 57:15, He is Omnipotent, Jeremiah 32:17, 27, He is Omnipresent, Psalm 139:7, He is Omniscient, Psalm 139:4, 147:5, Isaiah 46:9-10. Yahweh alone is Truth, Psalm 117:2. He is the only Creator, and the Original Originator of all that was, is, or that ever will be, Isaiah 40:12, 22, 26.
We Believe that the Hebrew name of our One Almighty Sovereign Creator Power is אהיה (AHYH), this comes from Exodus 3:14. AHYH (using English letters) means I-am in Hebrew, He says I-Am but we need to sayיהוה (Yahweh in English), this comes from Exodus 3:15, and means: He-is, He-exists, or Ever-living. Yahweh is the only One Almighty to whom we must owe our reverence, our prayer, and our worship. We must not accept any other god(s) as our One Almighty Sovereign Creator Power according to Deuteronomy 5:7, [5]. We must also not believe in the Roman Catholic manufactured three persons in the so-called one ‘god’ known as the 'Trinity’ since the Trinity G-d is a foreign god concept. Yahweh is the One the only Almighty, Isaiah 45:18.
We Believe that Yahweh uses His powerful created celestial messengers (the mighty-ones, aka angels, the Biblical alueim/elohim for His appointed agents throughout His endless ever-existing Universe. These powerful celestial messengers were used even during creation (according to Genesis 1:1) see also Psalm 103:19-21; Psalm 104:4; Psalm 148:2. He also uses His terrestrial (earthly) messengers (the Hebrew prophets and the celestial (heavenly) messengers) to administer his will and authority and to guide us on this earth, Psalm 103:21. We believe Yahweh did not create His celestial messengers with a free will, they are not able to ever counter His supreme authority and power, nor would they ever desire to do so. It is not possible for any of His created appointed celestial messengers to fall from Yahweh’s grace and become evil or wicked and still live. In the Hebrew Bible, the celestial messengers may at times be referred to as mighty-ones (alueim/elohim) or angels (messenger(s) when they represent (or carry) the authority and power of their Almighty Sovereign Creator Yahweh. This happens when they may be conversing with the Adam-kinds (man-kinds) on the earth, Exodus 3:2, or leading the Adam-kind (man-kind), Exodus 23:20-21.
We believe that the Adam-kinds (man-kinds) were created on the earth in the shadow (the resemblance) of the celestial messengers, Genesis 1:26-27. The Adam-kinds however, are created with a physical body of flesh and blood, and with a free will. Unlike the created celestial messengers Adam-kinds (man-kind) cannot manifest themselves in various forms as do the created celestial messengers, who do not have free will. The Adam-kinds (man-kind) were not created in the shadow (or resemblance) of their Almighty Sovereign Creator because Yahweh is inconceivable and incorporeal (without physical form, body or shadow). Throughout many English translations the word ‘G-d’ (when used throughout as in Genesis 1:26-27) is often incorrectly translated from the Hebrew word ‘alueim/elohim’ which in English means ‘powers’ or mighty-ones with the plural spelling. In the Hebrew Bible the Hebrew word alueim/elohim should never be translated as ‘G-d’ in English.
We believe that Yahweh, because of His mercy freely forgives the sins of Adam-kinds who after sincere repentance for sin accept Him as their only Redeemer and Savior, Isaiah 1:16-18, [6]. For their thankfulness all the saved will observe Yahweh's Covenant (the 10 Commandments) and will strive to do the will of their now Almighty Heavenly Father [7]. Yahshua (aka Jesus) calls those, who like him do the will of his father his brothers, sisters, and mother, Matthew 12:50, [8]. Like Yahshua became a son of the Almighty Sovereign Creator Father Yahweh, all these believers also become the sons and daughters of the same heavenly Father.
We believe that the promise of eternal life is given to all these believers that become members of Yahweh's heavenly household. This is promised because they have strived to do what Yahweh asks of them for what is good, by doing justly, by loving mercy, and they will therefore continue to ‘walk humbly’(a metaphor) with their Almighty Sovereign Creator Heavenly Father Yahweh, Micah 6:6-8, [9].
We believe that the precepts and principles found in Torah [10] were also those taught by the Prophet Yahshua (aka Jesus) Matthew 7:21, [11]. The precepts and principles from the Hebrew Bible follow his teachings as recorded in the Synoptic Gospels [12] of the Greek New Testament (NT). Torah instructions are found throughout the Hebrew Bible, they not ‘Law’ but are guides to what any father would provide to his children throughout life. We believe that the Covenant (the 10 Commandments), found in Deuteronomy 5:2-22, [13] remains applicable for all True believers. The man-made sacrificial laws however, were never instructions given by Yahweh, Jeremiah 7:22-23, [14]. The sacrificial laws were all man-made, by primitive man, and predate monotheistic ancient Israel, Jeremiah 8:8.
We believe the entire NT is a collection of opinions, conjecture, and hearsay. Nothing written in the NT is inspired by Yahweh, and nothing in it is claimed to be inspired. All of the Gospels were compiled by unknown authors many decades after the events they wrote about may have occurred. Some historical events recorded about the prophet Yahshua may be believable, and some of his sayings or teachings may well be true, but they are all from unknown second or third hand recollections. We only accept them when they follow the precepts or principles that were established by the anointed Prophets in the Hebrew Bible. How to test prophets Note: The statement translated in 2 Timothy 3:16, is often falsely translated in English Bibles (by the addition of the word ‘is’). Nothing written in the NT is claimed to have been inspired by Yahweh. All of the writings made or claimed to have been authored by the Pharisee named Paul/Saul are his own private opinions since he never even met the prophet Yahshua. He wrote his letters with his opinions and ideology to his churches many years after Yahshua s death.
We believe Yahshua (aka Jesus) of the NT was a 'natural born' Israelite man, (Paul in Romans 1:3 believed that as well). Yahshua was an anointed prophet sent by Yahweh to the Lost Tribes of First Century Israel, Matthew 15:24, [15]. His mission (as he claimed it) was to preach repentance before Yahweh; to baptize and to announce the Gospel news - that the Kingdom (council) of Yahweh/of heaven had come, Matthew 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 is not Yahweh the Almighty Sovereign Creator Power. Yahshua is not a part of a trinity God, and he was not a human sacrifice so Yahweh could forgive mans sins, Jeremiah 7:22; Isaiah 1:11. Human sacrifice was a pagan practice that is strictly forbidden by Yahweh, Psalm 106:37-41; Jeremiah 7:31. Yahshua became a son of Yahweh by obedience to doing the will of Yahweh, as all who do the same can become sons, and daughters of Yahweh just as Yahshua did, by becoming his brother, sister, and mother, Matthew 12:50.
We believe Yahshua's primary Mission was to free the First Century Israelites from the Jewish religious traditions and manmade oral laws that had enslaved the people; he came to guide the people back toward their One Original Almighty Sovereign Creator Yahweh, Mark 7:9, [18]. His message was for the people, to return to their Almighty Yahweh as counsel for their lives, and to serve Him only. This angered the local Jewish religious authorities and became a constant threat to the rulers of his day, Mark 3:6. This eventually resulted in Yahshua’s execution by the Roman officials for the false claimed crime of sedition, Matthew 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. During his execution, some believed Yahshua was a son of G-d, Mark 15:39. We do not believe that the Bible teaches in a future second coming of Yahshua as a ‘physical earthly’ King. Yahshua always taught the Kingdom of Yahweh, but did not teach followers about his ‘heavenly’ kingdom. An understood ‘second coming’ claim by some of his followers, would already have occurred, because the NT record records - that he told some of his followers they would still be alive to see him come into his ‘heavenly’ kingdom, Matthew 16:28, [20].
We believe there is one global collective set-apart Universal family of all True Bible believers, and in the gathering together of home-group assemblies (where possible) for worship, and fellowship, on weekly appointed times, and to observe the seventh day of rest for our benefit, Deuteronomy 5:12-14, [21]. We attempt to promote these simple Basics of Biblical belief to all who are looking for truth, without becoming enslaved to ancient false and deceptive Christian Creeds. We keep (when possible) the Biblical food laws for health since Yahweh tells us from the Hebrew Bible the foods we should not be eating. We believe that all true believers in Yahweh that strive to do the Fathers will become actual sons and daughters of the Father just like Yahshua became a son, Matt. 12:46-50. Praise Yahweh!
