In this study we will explain that there are no such things as “old” and “new” covenants for YHVH’s chosen people, but one everlasting Covenant that has been renewed. The “New Testament” and the “Old Testaments” are foreign for the Hebraic mindset terms crafted by the Roman Catholic Church with the intent to divide the Word of YHVH and His people. The Scripture and the people were thus divided so that today we have the...

This question has been a great deal of debate among the observant believers who want to serve the Creator the way He wants to be served. When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring an omer of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest. And he shall wave the omer before Yehovah, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves...

This concept is derived from the simple idea that as one walks forward, he sees what comes to him, i.e. the future. And what is behind him is the past. However, in the Hebraic mindset, the things are turned 180 degrees: the past is before the Hebrew, and the future is behind. Why is that? This...

Answer: Let us read Acts 21:20-28 and ask ourselves the questions: if Apostle Shaul (Paul) taught against the Law of God, Why did he take on the Nazarite vow according to the Law (Num 6:13-20) that required sacrifices? Why did he participate with four other men? Why did he participate in burnt offerings and sacrifices in the Temple? Why did Ya’akov (James) and the elders urge him to do this? Why would Paul pay...

Answer: Wherever we find in the Scripture that a name was given, we always find the reason and who did it, i.e. Elohim and His messengers, the patriarchs and even King Nebuchadnezzar who changed the names of Daniel and his companions. We find the same pattern in the Apostolic Writings, i.e. giving the names of Yochanan (aka John the Baptist) and Yeshua the Messiah. However, who changed the name of Apostle Shaul...

Answer: Yes, Yoseph (Joseph) and Miriam (Mary) did have other children after the birth of Yeshua, and the more famous of them are Ya’akov (James) and Yehudah (Jude), the apostles. Yeshua also had sisters, according to the account in Mark, Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Miryam, and brother of Ya’akov, and Yoseph, and Yehudah, and Shim’on? And are not His sisters here with us? (Mar 6:3) See also Mar...

Answer: The use of the generic name Horeb (Deu 1:6) is to designate the mountain group in today’s Saudi Arabia (Gal 4:25) where Israel spent thirty years in the Arabian exile. It comes from the verb חָרַב charav, to parch (through drought), that is, (by analogy) to desolate. While the specific name סִינַי Sinai is given to the particular mountain upon which the Torah of YHVH was given to the nation....
Read More »Is there forgiveness without repentance? “Should we forgive one who has wronged us but has not repented?” is the question we should ask when there is a transgression against us. It is a common misunderstanding, particularly in the Christendom, that a Christian must forgive regardless of the absence of repentance from the guilty part, he should forgive even in the stone-cold face of the transgressor. This understanding, which has become a mainstream doctrine in...
