  The pronunciation of God’s Name was settled in the English-speaking community a long time ago, but only among scholars. Through ancient Semitic and Greek texts, the conclusion on its pronunciation was widely accepted as “Yahweh”, but the suffix was not necessarily a hard “eh” sound only, as some also saw it as “ah”, asContinue reading “Tracing an Ancient Eastern Pronunciation of the Divine Name from Babylonian Jews to Modern Witnesses”

Today, many protestants are leaving behind their heritage and returning to Catholicism.  I’ve seen a news report on it, and today I saw some Catholic podcasters bragging about the statistical win they see. Protestants are doing so because many protestant theologians and preachers are now emphasizing Yeshua’s deity, at the expense of His human identity.Continue reading “Anti-Semitic God – Doing away with The Son”

  Don’t dismiss it yet. The title is a citation of a “New Testament”, “end times” verse. It comes from Revelation 18:4, which is Yeshua speaking, saying, “Come out of her, O my people, so that you may not become partakers of her sins, and lest you be smitten by her plagues.  For her sinsContinue reading ““Come Out of Her, My People!” Who is “She”?”

The world’s ‘churches’ are following the Nicolaitan model of ‘church governance’. Nicolaitan literally means ‘controlling the people’ and it unfortunately took root in spite of Yeshua’s warnings in Revelation 2 and 3, and it set the foundation for ‘clergy’ versus ‘laity’. Do you see the suffix of ‘Nicolaitan’ in that last word?  For three hundredContinue reading “The Biblical Model for Congregational Governance”

  Are we saved by keeping commandments? We emphatically declare, “No!” Are we not saved if we do not keep commandments?  We emphatically declare, “Possibly!” Why? Because a saved person loves God, and keeps His commandments out of that love, and out of gratitude, and out of the guidance of Messiah Yeshua and the restContinue reading “Torah observance vs. Gospel Freedom”

This was sent to me yesterday: Asked ChatGPT: Of all the many denominations of Jews and Christians who say they believe the Bible, what would be the most likely group to be true to the WHOLE Bible? ChatGPT said: That’s a very thoughtful and profound question — and one that has been debated for centuriesContinue reading “Logical Summary of “Who we are” without bias”

Everyone should be happy that the Israeli War in Gaza is over. I am. I am most happy that the surviving captors were returned alive to their families, and that is something we must all rejoice over. But, we cannot forget those that died. Not just the hostages, but the casualties from the viscious andContinue reading “Genocide Batakhat Sh’li”

It is not often that a person who has been around for more than a quarter or a half a century can admit error, or confess wrong, or change. But, after months of regular fasting and praying, we are starting to see ‘change’. We have been praying that God would make His People humble, andContinue reading “A Change of Heart”

Since the reestablishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people have endured a relentless campaign of hostility, propaganda, and physical assault from surrounding Arab nations and terror movements. Yet, in every generation, Israel’s survival has stood as both a testimony to history and, many would say, a miracle of divine providence. AtContinue reading “Israel’s Survival: History, Prophecy, and the Truth Behind the ‘Genocide’ Narrative”

Charlie Kirk was indeed one of a kind. He was courageous. He thought independently. He spoke out. He was a representatitive of the Kingdom of Messiah, and a good one. And I am grateful for the outpouring of honor shown in response to Kirk’s assassination. Many have lifted their voices in worship, giving glory toContinue reading “Honoring Charlie Kirk: A Legacy of Courage, Faith, and the Biblical Sabbath”
