Question: Is atheism a religion? Answer: First, what does atheism mean? In Greek atheism means “without a deity” and seems to tell us that the atheists are without a god, believing in nothing, having no religion whatsoever. But this is not quite correct. Generally, a religion is understood to mean a belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. But, according to the United Nations, a religion is any system of beliefs that does...

Question: The primeval light was created on the first day, but the sun and the moon were not created until the fourth day. How is that possible? Answer: If the primeval light was the first thing created, then it must have been fundamental in the creation of the universe. From the creation narrative, we learn that the main source of light on earth is the sun. In physics, the term light refers to any electromagnetic radiation, whether visible or not. The light has a discrete,...

Question: What is the origin of the words “Jesus” and “Christ”? Answer: For the English-speaking Christians Jesus Christ is the person who lived in the first century Judea, the Messiah of God of Israel, who died through crucifixion in 28 A.D. and was resurrected on the third day. But do the Christians know the real Jesus Christ and how many of them of them know His true name? However, few of them know His true name: Yeshua. When the gospels were translated into Greek and...

Question: Ever wonder why the Christianity was accepted so easily in pagan Rome? Answer: In 313 A.D. the Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan and a new religion of Rome (known today as Christianity or Catholicism) was established. With the establishment of the new religion, the persecution of the non-Jewish believers in Yeshua ceased, but not of the Jews; they were still persecuted and killed for entertainment of the Romans in the arenas: this time for being “the...

Question: Has Christ fulfilled the Law, so that the Christians do not have to? Answer: The rejection of the Torah of YHVH, aka the Law, is a fundamental doctrine in the Christianity since its establishment as an official religion. But it is incorrect to say that the Roman emperor Constantine was the author of this doctrine; Ignatius of Antioch (c.35 – c.107) was, whose letters still serve as an example of early Christian theology. Today, there are a few major arguments to...

Question: More than two-thirds of the Christian Churches are under a severe reprimand? Answer: Yes, 71 percent to be exact.

Question: The Church teaches us that we are not under the Law, but has Paul not commended us to observe the Sabbath? Answer: Yes, Shaul (Paul) has commended us to observe the Sabbath, because the Sabbath Commandment is a part of the Covenant of YHVH (see Exo 20:8-11) and as such it is a sign between Him and His children (see also Exo 31:13). We read his commendation in a verse that is unlikely to be read in the churches today, So, there remains a Sabbath-keeping (Greek...

Question: What did Yeshua write in the sand? Answer: The scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And trying to set Him up they asked Him what the Torah would say. But Yeshua, bending down, wrote on the ground with the finger, as though He did not hear. (Joh 8:3-6) But, as they kept on questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” And bending down...

Question: Are Paul’s teachings easy to understand? Answer: We have been told that Paul’s teachings bring more clarity and understanding of the Scripture and particularly when they refer to the main-street doctrine of the Church that the Law of God (Heb. the Torah, “Instruction, Direction”) has been done away with. But are they easy to understand? Apostle Peter has this to say about Paul’s teachings to the dismay of the “theologians” (WARNING: the following verse is...

Question: How many wise men visited baby Yeshua? Answer: The Christian tradition says that three wise men visited baby Yeshua. But were they three? And how many were the wise men and what does the Bible say about their number? The truth is that we do not know, because the account says nothing about their number. Their number has been assumed because of the number of gifts they brought in three gifts; therefore, they were three wise men. The wise men could have been three or...

Question: Who is the author of Hebrews? Answer: Apostle Paul is the assumed author of the letter to the Hebrews, because its authorship is unknown. The Roman Catholic Church has attributed the letter to Paul assuming that because he is the author of most of the apostolic epistles, he must be the author of Hebrews, as well. The ambiguity around the authorship of Hebrews comes from the fact that the author of Hebrews has not claimed any authorship. In comparison, Paul always...

Question: How long did King Saul reign? Answer: No account in 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, and 1 and 2 Chronicles (nor in any other book of the Hebrew Scripture) can be found as to how many years the first king of Israel reigned. We know that King David and King Solomon reigned 40 years over Israel each, but we know nothing about the duration of King Saul’s reign. However, in the book of Acts Apostle Paul (Act 13:21) tells us that Saul reigned 40 years, too. How did...
