Summary Statement of Basic Bible
Beliefs (Yahwism)

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 Yah-way), 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. The Bible teaches 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 are at times referred to as mighty-ones (alueim/elohim) or angels (messenger(s) or at times even as Yahweh
(He-Is) when they represent (or carry) the authority and power directed by
their Almighty Sovereign Creator named Yahweh. This occurs when celestial
messengers are conversing with the Adam-kinds (man-kinds) on the earth, Exodus
3:2, 6, or by leading or informing the Adam-kind (man-kind), Exodus 23:20-21.
The
Bible teaches 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, but 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.
The
Bible teaches 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.
The Bible teaches 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].
The Bible teaches
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. The Bible teaches 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.
The
Bible teaches 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.
The
Bible teaches 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.
The Bible teaches
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].
The Bible teaches 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].
The Bible teaches 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!

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.
