A number of objections to the How Dare You series have been raised, claiming that the traditional worship dates are just as valid as the dates set by Yahweh, and that it has no impact on whether or not one can call oneself a Christian. But it that true? I say not at all. Celebrating… Continue reading It’s About Following Yahweh 1

Interpretations that may be percieved incorrectly
Hard Hearts
Instances of hardened hearts can be found throughout scripture, especially in the scriptures describing the Exodus of the Hebrew slaves from Egypt. In some, it is Pharaoh who hardens his heart and in others it is Yahweh who hardens his heart. Several different Hebrew, one Aramaic, and one Greek words are translated into the English… Continue reading Hard Hearts
In The Image and Likeness of Elohim Part 3
Note: My thanks to Derek Gilbert for his persistence in teaching this stubborn old coot that there is also another side to The Image and Likeness. I have eaten humble pie, and apologize for harsh comments made in the previous two blogs, which have now been re-written to eliminate those harsh comments. Our Role In… Continue reading In The Image and Likeness of Elohim Part 3
Yahweh’s Name Is Not “The LORD”
Exodus 20:7 – “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain . . .” In November of 2014 we looked at the mistaken perception that Yahweh is so holy that he cannot be anywhere that sin or evil exists – that he cannot confront sin or evil in person. In… Continue reading Yahweh’s Name Is Not “The LORD”
In The Image and Likeness of Elohim Part 2
Our Genetic Heritage – The Physical Side of The Image Genesis 1:26-27 – “Then Elohim said, ‘Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness’. Elohim created man in His own image, in the image of Elohim He created him.” Last week we looked at five concepts. They were the concepts of: 1)… Continue reading In The Image and Likeness of Elohim Part 2
In The Image and Likeness of Elohim Part 1
Our Genetic Heritage – The Physical Side of The Image Psalm 139:13-14 – “You formed my inner parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Your works are marvelous. My soul knows it very well.” Who, exactly, are human beings? In order to… Continue reading In The Image and Likeness of Elohim Part 1
Abolish or Fulfill
Matthew 5:17-18 – “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” Many have quoted this verse to back up their claim that the Older Covenant has been superceded by the Newer Covenant and all law has been completed… Continue reading Abolish or Fulfill
Yahweh Is Yeshua
In November of 2014 we looked at the mistaken perceptions that Yahweh is so holy that he cannot be anywhere that sin or evil exists – that he cannot confront sin or evil in person. Today we will look at the mistaken perception that when scripture uses the name Yahweh it always and only means… Continue reading Yahweh Is Yeshua
Yahweh Is Too Holy To Interact Or Intervene
Today we examine the mistaken perception that Yahweh is so holy that he cannot be anywhere that sin or evil exists – that he cannot confront sin or evil in person. Is Yahweh afraid of sin? Is he unable to enter into a sinful or evil place? Absolutely not! Yahweh is always present. He can’t… Continue reading Yahweh Is Too Holy To Interact Or Intervene
The Thief in the Night
2 Peter 3:10 – “But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night . . .” 1 Thessalonians 5:1 – “For you know very well that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.” Historical Pattern The phrase, thief in the night, is yet another… Continue reading The Thief in the Night
Armageddon
Revelation 16:16 – “And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armagedon.” Throughout scripture a theme of final climactic battle is taught. This battle is often referred to as the Battle of Armagedon. Several themes are mentioned throughout scripture in relation to this battle: the sickle, a harvest, all nations,… Continue reading Armageddon
The Awesome Roles of Men and Women
We’ve all heard the joke that when God described to Adam this wonderful creature He was about to create and Adam asked what it would cost, God replied, “Well, an arm and a leg, of course!” To which Adam replied, “What will I get for just a rib?” And the rest is history, as they… Continue reading The Awesome Roles of Men and Women
The Trees
Many are very good at seeing scripture through a Greek mindset. However, they often forget that most, if not all, terms in the Newer Covenant have been fully defined by the Older Covenant and that scripture, even the Newer Covenant, is all written from a Hebrew mindset, no matter what language it is written down… Continue reading The Trees
