First let me say, i do not deserve praise for anything. There is only One who is Good and deserves praise. All the good deeds i have done, have been done in the Name of Yahshua ha Moshiach (Jesus the Annointed). And if it wasn't for Him, i would still be a selfish, drug-addicted theif; and probably would be 6 feet under, a victim of suicide. However, i am not saved because i no longer steal or dope, but because of the precious Blood of the Lamb being shed, i am forgiven and washed clean. i am far from perfect.
My Creed:
"i study the bible. i cannot commit myself to any church or denomination, for i have committed myself to YHWH El Shaddai. Not because i have anything against church itself; i love to go and love to hear preaching and teaching. But some people seem to think their church is the only one that matters (Psalm 118:8/ John 3:8). i cannot follow the teachings of man (matt 15:9), but the teachings of God alone. I cannot spare quoting scripture, for i eat and breathe the Word of God (Deut 8:3, matt 4:4; also 2Tim 3:15-17).
My Bread is His Word, my Meat is His Will, my wine is His Presence...
...to say it simply, i'm in love with the Man.
there are many flaws in christians. but there are no flaws in Christ. If you ask me why choose christianity? i ask you why choose islam, bhuddism, taoism or atheism? is it because a man told you it was what to believe in? or is it because you had an experience? my faith is not solely based on intellect. it is experiential as well.
i cannot even tell you why i quote scripture without quoting scripture. i do not speak of myself, but i speak of the One who is in me and i in He."
[John 5:30-31.]
As for my view on sin; "God loves the whole sinful world (Romans 3:23; John 3:16). But unless they repent, they will still be punished (Revelation 3:19) and Judged by the Torah.(Matt 7:21-23 John 5:29)"
YHWH is my Father (any time you see the word "LORD", in all caps, in an English translation of the Scriptures, especially in the TaNaKh/"Old Testament" it is in place of the Creator's Name, the one He gave Israel at Mt. Sanai.
Translated, the Name means, "He is." Transliterated, the Hebrew letters written right-to-left are yod-hay-waw-hay. it is presumably pronounced many ways. i prefer "Yah-HOO-way" after the personal studies in which i have partaken.
i call the Messiah by His given Name, Yahshua which is a hebrew compound word consisting of "Yah", the poetic form of the Father's Name (psalm 68:4); and "shua" which translates to 'salvation'. the Savior of mankind's Name means, "Yah, He is Salvation". Read Psalm 118:20-26 then John 12:12-13 and Acts 4:10-12.
In this sequence read, Proverbs 30:4, Psalm 68:4, John 4:22, Matthew 27:37, Acts 20:21, Romans 3:29, 1Corinthians 12:13, Revelation 21:12, John 3:5, Acts 22:16.
When we are immersed in water in the name of Yahshua (Acts 4:12), we symbolize to God and to man that we are reborn of Spirit. By doing so, we are adopted into the Spiritual family of Israel. Unless we accept and believe and do this; we cannot percieve, nor enter into, the Kingdom. Israel is a Hebrew name that means, "to rule with Elohim."
i pray you will grow closer to Yah each day and learn more Truth as you go along. Pray everyday as soon as you wake up and devote some time out of your day to study His Word. And share the Truth with others, as it is revealed to you (Matt 25:14-30).
Please remember, just because different Believers have different doctrines, doesn't mean they cant worship or study together or have fellowship with one another. We are all apart of the Body of the Bride. Keep this in mind as you walk in the world: When He Returns, He will be Gathering a Bride without Blemish! i could teach and preach for hours, but i wont put all my knowledge on this page, read my "blog" or message me if you want to learn what has been taught to me.
