R wrote:So in saying Paul is a liar, are you also calling the letters as well as “acts” a bunch odf bull too? Please, enlighten me on this further. R Craig wrote:R, What Yahowah revealed in His Towrah, Prophets and Psalms is true. Anything which contradicts God's Word would be a lie. Paul constantly contradicts Yahowah and Yahowsha'. So, therefore, Paul lied. It is that simple. Most of what Paul wrote contradicts God's Word, and thus his letters are filled with lies. Most of Acts is based upon Paul, and thus most of Acts is not trustworthy. And since the spirit Paul advocated on behalf of, the spirit he claimed possessed him, is associated with the Bull, your summation is accurate. The book www.QuestioningPaul.com exists to enlighten you further on this topic. But should you not already know what Yahowah revealed in His Torah, Prophets, and Psalms, should you not be open to Yahowsha's actual testimony and Yahowah's written Word, that review of the differences between a man's view and God's perspective, won't do you much good. My hope for you is that you are open to knowing Yahowah as He revealed Himself to us. CW Don't take my word for it, Look it up.

R wrote:I saw your podcast on itunes and pulled down your shows but some of the broadcast on The Great Galation Debate are missing and I was wonderin how I could get the full series. Thanks. R Craig wrote:R, I did not post the radio shows you found on itunes, nor even know who may have done so. The archives of the shows should all still be available on Blog Talk Radio under Yada Yahweh Radio. But the most recent version of the Galatians debate is found at www.QuestioningPaul.com. Craig R wrote:Thanks. I have always suspected Paul was false but for different reasons, yours just help confirm what I thought. Thanks for all you do. R Craig wrote:I missed it for many, many years. But by scrutinizing Galatians, and comparing it to Yahowah's Towrah, it eventually became obvious to me as well.
I've attached the very rough and incomplete draft of my new book, the Prelude to Yada' Yahowah. The first 5 sections are somewhat complete (Towrah, Word, Name, Covenant, and Commandments). But the rest of what is there is still a cluttered and unfinished mess. So, if you read this, don't go past the Commandments section.
Craig R wrote:Thanks I appreciate it, I will definitely read it. I listened to Prophet of Doom while I was in Afghanistan and found it to be quite enlightening, I knew some of it but not all of it. I had not really compared Galatians with the Torah but I did know there were numerous mistakes in Hebrews; but I have usually avoided his writings. Very few Christians also don't know that his reference for putting on the armor can be found in the Tanakh...not all of it but some, so it was not original. Being female I had a real issue with Paul, and because of him a few years back I actually threw my Bible across the room and told Abba that he had to show me that this is not true and this is really not from You, because I would rather be in hell than in heaven with a "god" that thinks men are better than women. When you read the Tanakh you see Elohiym protecting and caring for women and Yeshua always treated them with respect. Of course being raised Catholic didn't help. But El is good and within a week He started showing me the truth through things online, books and people. Also learning a little about the original language helped. I also agree with you that some souls will cease to exist when it is all said and done. Once again thanks for the book and for your time. R Craig wrote:Rachel,
It is true, Paul hated women. His comments regarding the place of women are inconsistent with Yahowah's Towrah - Instructions. Truth be known, the Set-Apart Spirit is our Spiritual Mother, and She is responsible for our spiritual birth, our enlightenment, enrichment, empowerment, and protection. And once adopted into Yahowah's Family by way of His Covenant, we are all equals.
I personally suspect Paul was homosexual, based upon his animosity to women in his letters, and especially his relationship with Timothy. This is consistent with the Anti-Ma'aseyah. But regardless of whether or not this is accurate, I understand how Paul, like Muhammad, would make you angry. He angers me mostly because he has led billions of souls away from God.
Paul plagiarized many religious texts, not the least of which was stealing one of Dionysus' most famous quotes and putting it into the mouth of his flash of light. And yes, the reference to armor was a corruption of Yahowah's advice.
The US Military has done their utmost to block and ban Prophet of Doom. Truth has never been their ally. What caused you to be in Afghanistan?
The Ma'aseyah's name is Yahowsha', not Yeshua, as that is a rabbinic corruption. I cover this in the name section of the book I just sent to you. But when it comes to corruption, nobody beats the Roman Catholic Church. Hell will be a very religious place.
The more you know about Hebrew, the more you will come to know about Yahowah. More than anything, I've tried to convey the full meaning of the Hebrew in the Prelude to Yada' Yahowah. So if this is your new direction, you should enjoy the new read.
Most souls will cease to exist according to Yahowah. It's not a punishment. But it is amazing how few people recognize this necessary reality.
Craig R wrote:I was in Afghanistan with the Air Force (my job with the Guard is Logistics), it was 2008 so I don't remember if I downloaded it to my ipod before I went over or if it was after. I did enjoy it though and it did help the time go by. I am a Messianic Jew now for about 7 years, and follow the Torah, keep the feast and Sabbath, and eat kosher; not the way the Jews say to but they way it is laid out in Scripture. I do not attend any services because I am in Iowa and there is no where to go and I despise organize religion. It has always amazed me how much witchcraft is in the church and how many people don't even know it. It use to really bother me because all my friends would have all these experiences with angels and God and I was not getting anything, and I would wonder what is wrong with me. But my one pray has been to keep me on the right path, I told Him I don't want to think I am going the right way and then die and find out I was not, and He has been very faithful to me in regards to that prayer. I have wrote out in my own hand the parts of the Torah that pertain to keeping His teachings and instructions so I can read a little each day in my own hand, don't know if it makes a difference but felt led to do it. R Craig wrote:Rachel is a Hebrew name. Rach means to journey, and 'el is God, so it means to walk to and with God. While your gender is irrelevant to God, your race is relevant. You are special. I hope that you are out of the AF and out of Afghanistan. Invading was suicidal, a horrible blunder. I have learned over time that the correct title is Ma'aseyah, meaning the Work of Yahowah. I present the reasons for this in the book I sent you. You are right to observe the Towrah, the Called-Out Assemblies, and the Sabbath, in the manner Yahowah instructed in His Word, and not as the rabbis do. I cover two of these three topics in the book, and will cover the third--the Mow'ed Miqra'ey. I have, however, written a volume on them which I will edit as soon as I complete the new book. If you read it, start with this chapter: http://yadayahweh.com/Ya..._Assemblies_Salah.YHWH.
There are no good religions. God also despises them, so you are in good company. Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism are filled with pagan ideas born and bred in Babylon. Your friends were lying to you. Either that, or the "angels" they were encountering were all fallen. Yahowah explains His way in His Towrah. So long as you observe it, you will remain on His path. Yahowah tells us to write out a copy of the Towrah for ourselves, and to recite it so often, that we know it by rote. So, once again, you are on the right path. Craig Don't take my word for it, Look it up.

Upon a google search, "was paul gay" this site popped up at top of the page. So apparently, many have the same idea of him. http://www.beliefnet.com...e-Apostle-Paul-Gay.aspx
Can't vouch for this site, so a grain of salts in order until...

Daniel,
Not to state the obvious, but thats why Craig wrote the word "suspect" and qualified it to be a personal statement.
Maybe if Paul wasn't so hostile to women, we wouldn't have to suspect.

Here's Craig's QP take on it: QP chapter 8 wrote:This continues to be about Paul, not God. The Galatians were now "his children," not our Heavenly Father’s sons and daughters. Even his mention of the Messiyah in this context is misleading, because it circumvents the role of the Set-Apart Spirit. "My (ego) children (teknon) who (hos) also (palin – furthermore and again) I have birth pangs (odino – feel the pains of childbirth) until (mechri – to the degree or as far as) who (hos – which) was formed (morphoo – manifest the external appearance) [of] Christos (ΧΡΣ– the Messiyah (but without the definite article, the errant Christos used as a name is a better grammatical fit than the appropriate title "the Implement of Yah") in (en) you all (sy)." (Galatians 4:19)
Those who have been adopted into our Heavenly Father’s family have been born anew from above by way of our Spiritual Mother, the Set-Apart Spirit—not by way of Sha’uwl. Paul’s children are Christians, not Yahuwdym, and thus they are estranged from Yahweh. But by claiming to have "suffered birth pangs" for "my children" Sha’uwl has once again portrayed himself as a surrogate for God, and he has established himself as the mother of the faith.
It is deeply troubling that the Nestle-Aland, after claiming that their 27th edition manuscript was a near perfect representation of the original autographs, ignored the placeholders found in all of the originals and then perpetuated the myth that the Messiah was "Christ." NA: "Children of me whom again I have birth pains until that might be formed Christ in you." But 1,700 years of religious tradition was too much to buck and still make a buck. After all, Catholicism’s Latin Vulgate reads: "My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christus be formed in you." Of which the King James translated to produce their Authorized Version: "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you." These translations actually say that Paul served as a surrogate mother "until Christ" who was the "Son," (i.e., male) fulfilled that role. The wannabe Apostle was wrong on both accounts.
Since these mistakes are ridiculous, one must ask: why would Sha’uwl write something this divergent from God’s symbolism and from human nature? Did he suffer from gender identity issues? Was this why he was opposed to marriage, and does it explain why he was demeaning toward women? Is it why he expressed his love for Timothy—a man he personally circumcised even though he was belligerently opposed to circumcision? Even celibacy, which Paul promoted, is a perversion of Yahweh’s marriage and parental symbolism.
Apart from his animosity toward God’s symbols of the Covenant, which are marriage and family, and the specific roles God assigned to the Spirit and Son, Paul’s sexual orientation is irrelevant, with one caveat. According to Daniel’s prophecy, Satan’s Messiah will be a homosexual. So Paul calls believers "my children" and amongst other things gets labelled a "suspect" homosexual by Craig, well Craig strongly suggests he is. But, and this is a big but, John calls believers "my children" as well, i.e. 1 John 2:1 and 3 John 1:4. The other things Craig suggests aren't that hard to tackle as well, all one needs to do is read a bit of Scripture.

So I must ask, what is the benefit of publishing CW's suspicion that Mr. Oftarsus was, ummm, "a man's man"? Does QP lose any of it's impact if this one point of speculation is omitted? When a Catholic or a Protestant Catholic reads this suspicion in QP, and now YY, the entire body of work is discredited, dismissed and disposed of. Perhaps Paul was into dudes, if so, it there is no evidence that he ever acted on those impulses. On this side of the grave, we will never know for sure. (Unless, of course, we find that he subscribed to "Architectural Digest", shopped at Restoration Hardware and drove a Toyota Prius.) I know that more people would read more of QP (and the latest edition of YY) if CW turned the gain (sensitivity adjustment) down on his GAyDAR just a little bit. PS: I would much rather read a CW-amplification of Song Of Solomon than this speculation about hot, man-on-man-action.

Well if the Ebionites were correct about Paul then he was not a homosexual. They said he was a gentile who converted to Judaism in order to marry the high priest daughter (Who later refused to let his personal thug marry his Daughter).

When a Catholic or a Protestant Catholic reads this suspicion in QP, and now YY, the entire body of work is discredited, dismissed and disposed of. Daniel, if I only saw one minor error then I would possibly believe Craig's take on Paul. But, in my views, I see quite a lot, and some worthy enough to discredit the whole work. For example in the passage above Craig dismisses the Nestle-Aland for "claiming that their 27th edition manuscript was a near perfect representation of the original autographs, ignored the placeholders found in all of the originals and then perpetuated the myth that the Messiah was "Christ."" But then in passages like Galatians 2:16 Craig translates the placeholders ΧΝ ΙΝ as "Christon ‘Iesoun." Why does he blast the Nestle-Aland but then goes and does the very same thing? Ok, Craig might not say the Catholic Christ is the Messiah but why use "Christon ‘Iesoun" as if Paul "intended" to use them when clearly the author of Galatians did not. Strangely enough Craig translates the placeholders of Galatians 2:16 correctly in the opening of chapter 6 of QP: Quote:"Understand (oida – intuitively appreciate, perceive and remember, use your perceptions to realize and become acquainted) that because (hoti) no (ou) man (anthropos) is vindicated (dikaioo – is justified or put right, acquitted and shown to be in compliance, or judged innocent) out of (ek – by means of) legalistic (nomou – established societal customs, rules, traditions, and laws governing conduct) works (ergon – assigned tasks and undertakings, accomplishments and activities) if (ean) not (me) by way of (dia) trust in and reliance on (pistis) [the] Messiyah (ΙΗΥ), Yahushua (ΙΗΝ)." (Galatians 2:16) But then justifies his reasoning by saying: Quote:Gathering this portion of Paul’s thesis together, and adjusting the text to more accurately reflect his intended message based upon the whole cloth of this epistle, the ultimate abomination of desolation reads:
"Know that because no man is vindicated or justified by means of the assigned tasks, accomplishments, and activities (and by observing the edicts) of the Torah if not through faith in Christon ‘Iesoun. And we in Christon ‘Iesoun believe in order to be saved out of faith in Christou, and not out of observing the Torah, because out of doing what the Torah says, no aspect of flesh is judged innocent. (2:16) But if you are trying to find salvation in Christo, but are found to be sinning (by observing the Torah), shouldn’t we be anxious that Christos serves (the Torah’s) sinful nature, and not my desire for the possibility of him advocating a different way? (2:17) Because if that which I have actually torn down, dissolved, and dismantled, if this home and household is rebuilt anew, I myself demonstrate, establish, and recommend Torah-lessness and transgression. (2:18) For then by the Torah’s law I actually died and was separated. As a result of God I was actually crucified with Christo so I might live. (2:19) But now I no longer live. Now I am alive in Christis. That is because now, at the present, my life is lived in the flesh by believing that God and Christou love me, and also surrendered and delivered himself for my sake. (2:20) Do not reject the Charis/Grace of God, because if righteousness comes by way of the Torah, the possibility exists that Christos died and was separated for no reason and without any purpose." (2:21) I like the phrase "adjusting the text." And don't get me started on the word charis which is found in the Septuagint long before Paul was born and when the Disciples used the word too.

[color=darkblue][/color]I really don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this; perhaps someone could redirect me to the proper place to put this...
I was fortunate enough to have heard Mr. Winn talk about the whole Egypt 'uprising' when it was still brand new...I recall him stating matter of factly that he saw the military taking over followed by a very radical Yisrael/USA hating Islamist taking over - the military only serving as a transitional purpose...in other words: it seems to me Mr. Winn was right on the money in how he saw things going.
Has Mr. Winn ever thought about starting a blog - a blog in which he can expound upon events unfolding in light of the discernment Yah has clearly given him as a result of all his studies and research?
More and more I'm literally seeing that the whole world as a collective whole is 21st Century Babylon, the whole entire thing being a global cesspool of political and religious schemes to enslave the world with the exception being those, such as those on this site, who reject the schemes (both political and religious) and stick to the narrow 'Way' given to us by Moseh in the Torah, and in the Prophets and Psalms.
It would be nice to see a blog site in which those who would like to discuss further could come here to YY to expound more...

B wrote: Hey Craig,
Thanks for the insights. Yes, many things will change during the tribulation period, it will not be the change most people are expecting. Yes QP is kind of slow, but I really want to absorb and ponder on what is there. I finished last night on your comparison of the prophesy found in Amos 9. My dad, who was also a student of Scripture used to discuss this prophesy. It was good to be reminded of it.
I have been involved in a group study of Acts for a number of weeks now, and I have been interjecting some of what I have learned in the book. There are a couple of individuals who are curious, one in particular who is spotting the discrepancies, and I will clue them in on your site this week. Of course the others are trapped by what has been traditionally taught (as I still combat it myself), and one who was so opposed to the Torah as to be clearly agitated. However, it is difficult to argue with verses such as those found in Psalm 19. David describes Yahowah's law as being beautiful, restorative, perfect, enlightening, and precious. It is a stark contrast to what Paul describes.
Be well, B
P.S.- I noticed you mentioned earlier that you discovered God's true name to be pronounced "Yahowah," is there a special significance between the "o" as apposed to the "u?" Craig wrote: B,
Those who are religious will reject anything you say and get angry with you. But it is worth it if one or more person listens to you and comes out of religion and to Yahowah.
The more you can counter Paul and Acts on your own based upon what you learn the better. And the more you focus on inconsistencies and contradictions the better. The right insight delivered personally at the right time is often better than a pile of books.
Craig B wrote: Hey Craig,
I hope you are well. I just finished the first half of Questioning Paul and have started reading the rest. I really don't know what to say. I am speechless at this point. My wife, has been listening to me comment here and there on the material, and to be honest seemed a little skeptical, until she heard a "message" yesterday. The preacher spoke from Galatians. Craig, it could have been a poster message for what is in your book. In it the preacher said that the Law (Torah) was dead now that Jesus Christ has come, that it (the Law) was only a "temporary fix" for man's salvation. Also, he spoke of Paul's confrontation with Peter in Galatians 2:11-14. While doing so, he made Peter seem like a hypocritical hooligan. I think my wife has started to realize that something is wrong, when the preacher read out of Galatians about the leaders of the Jerusalem Ekklesia being those who "seemed to be pillars." I was surprised that was even in the ESV text from which he was reading. Yet nowhere did he discover any discrepancy to what Paul was saying. Belief is a powerful thing.
Needless to say, I am still enjoying the book very much, and am loving the opportunity to dive more deeply into Yahuweh's Scripture.
Take care, B Craig wrote: It's true B. The more research I did for QP, the more I realized that Christian pastors have chosen to believe Paul over Yahowsha, Paul over Peter, Paul over Yahowah and His Torah. It's amazing that people could be this easily fooled into thinking that Paul could contradict the Word of God and still speak for God.
So what's wrong is us. We've stopped thinking rationally. We, and I mean the religious masses, will believe any lie, so long as it is popular. Belief is a powerful force for evil.
Craig B wrote: Craig,
Thanks again for mailing me back. I have managed to find a few people who in their search for truth have discovered something wrong, particularly with Paul's writings. One has been particularly disturbed after putting together the similarities between Paul's "Damascus Road experience," and Satan's method of "falling to earth" as well as appearing. He has read it dozens of times before but just never considered it, because we accept Paul blindly as an apostle, and his words cannot (must not) be questioned. He also has always had issue with Paul's mysterious three year period of "instruction," and has started reading a little of your book, it is difficult for him to read as he is nearly blind, hopefully an MP3 version will be available in the future. He is at a place I was when I first started reading Yada Yahweh, and I had to really pry myself away from all the "tradition" I had been taught. It still isn't easy at times.
Anyway, I hope you are well. I am still making notes, my book is littered with green notes and underlines.
Take care, B Craig wrote: B,
Funny thing, I found myself dealing with Satan's appearance this morning when translating a passage about Yahowah's reaction to Ba'al Pa'owr.
Thanks for the update.
Craig B wrote: Craig,
Very interesting, and curious, which passage is it?
Thanks, B Craig wrote: Deuteronomy 4.6. Ba'al Pa'owr means Lord of the Compelling and Wide Open Light B wrote: Hey Craig,
Is it 4.6 or 4.3? Didn't know if perhaps the wording was inconsistent with verse order. "Lord of the compelling and wide-open light."
An interesting meaning. Particularly in context of the verses. (All I have are english equivalents so the context I am reading them probably isn't 100%)
Moseh is giving God's instruction on HIs Law, and is reminding the people of their rebellion and the consequences. Not to deviate or add or subtract to Yahowah's Word.
If I am gathering the meaning correctly, this "compelling and wide open light" is representative of the worldly (satanic) system of doing things. One which compels people away from Father? It seems to track of Satan, as he attempts to "compel" people away from Yahowah with the "wide-open" path which leads to destruction.
Thanks again, B Craig wrote: It was 4.3.
We see this the same way. Here is what I wrote: At this point, Moseh reminds his audience that many among them were recently fooled by the Lord – Ba’al, and that following this Lord of Light will lead to one’s extinction.
“You all saw (ra’ah – witnessed) with your own eyes (‘ayn – and you perceived and understood) that which (‘asher) Yahowah (YaHoWaH) did (‘asah) with (ba) Lord Pa’owr (Ba’al Pa’owr – Lord of the wide open, compelling, and troublesome light). For indeed (ky) every (kol)individual (‘ysh) who (‘asher – relationally) walks and follows (halak – travels in that direction, proceeds toward, and goes) after (‘ahar) the Lord of the compelling and open light (Ba’al Pa’owr– Lord, Master, and Owner of the wide open, disturbing, and troublesome light), Yahowah(YaHoWaH), your God (‘elohym), will annihilate (samad – will destroy and demolish, will wipe out and decimate, will exterminate, seeing that they perish, ceasing to exist after death) from (min)your midst (qereb).” (Dabarym / The Words / Deuteronomy 4:3)
Ba’al is the Hebrew word for “lord.” It is most often used in association with “ha Shatan – the Adversary.” “Ba’al – Lord” describes Satan’s ambition, which is not only to “lord over” the Most High, but also to “own, possess, and control” mankind.
Pa’owr is a compound of two Hebrew words. Since ‘owr means “light,” we have been given a vital clue regarding Satan’s appearance and strategy. Pa’ is from either pa’ar, which means “wide open,”pa’am, which means “to persistently compel, to beat and push in a disturbing and troubling direction,” or pa’ah, to “groan and scream.”
Satan is a spiritual being, and thus, like all spirits, Satan resembles light. Yahowsha’ tells us that Satan, who Yahowah refers to as “the lesser luminary,” appeared as a “flash of light” as he was being cast out of heaven. And Paul, who admits to being controlled and possessed by Satan in Second Corinthians, encountered Satan as a “flash of light” on the road to Damascus.
The qualifiers used to distinguish and identify Ba’al Pa’owr, are interesting. This “lord of light” is “compelling,” as are all of his religious schemes. His ways are “particularly broad and wide open,” which explains why his religions are so numerous, accepting, and popular. Yahowsha’ affirmed this in His Sermon on the Mount, when He said that the “way to death and destruction was wide open and broad, and many there are who find it.” Further, this Lord of Light “persistently pushes his victims in the direction of disturbing trouble, of groans and screams.”
Throughout this Prelude to Yada Yahweh you will be confronted with evidence which proves that most human souls are annihilated at the end of their mortal existence. The souls of those who “follow after the compelling and popular lord’s of troublesome light will be destroyed and demolished, wiped out and decimated, exterminated, so that following their death they will simply cease to exist.” This may sound harsh, but it’s not. It’s not a penalty or a punishment. Such things exist, but they are reserved for those who promote the Lord, not their victims.
God could not say, and did not say, “Love me or I will see to it that you are punished forever in hell.” Such a spirit would not be lovable. He would not be just. Therefore, the vast preponderance of human souls simply cease to exist after death. For those who were deceived, there is no eternal life in heaven or hell. B wrote: Hey Craig,
Well you were right, people don't listen. The study I have been attending in Acts finally got to Chapter 15, and what I had to say was not received well. The moment I mentioned anything favoring the Torah, I got pounced upon like a pack of wolves. The fascinating thing was the utter lack of willingness to listen to any sort of evidence or contradiction. Coming from a Psychhology/History background, I found it fascinating as well as disheartening. Not sure if I should really even bother with it any further, none of them want to even attempt to make an attempt to study any deeper, but rather just be told what to believe.
On a better note, I am almost done with Questioning Paul. I am going to get back into Yada Yahweh again, and hope to really learn more about Passover, since it will soon be approaching. I downloaded all the podcasts from the radio site regarding it. I'm looking forward to studying it.
Here is an interesting quote I discovered.
Leo Tolstoy, My Religion (1884): The separation between the doctrine of life and the explanation of life began with the preaching of Paul who knew not the ethical teachings set forth in the Gospel of Matthew, and who preached a metaphisico-cabalistic theory entirely foreign to Christ; and this separation was perfected in the time of Constantine, when it was found possible to clothe the whole pagan organization of life in a Christian dress, and without changing it to call it Christianity.
Hope you are well, B Craig wrote: Great quote, B. Thanks for sharing it. Wow. It goes right along with that of Jefferson.
As for your Christian bible study, I'm afraid that you are wasting your time. They not only can't process the Word of God, they hate it.

B wrote:Craig,
I have finished Questioning Paul and like you I have been played a fool. I had already accepted the fact that Paul was a false apostle before finishing the book, but now that I have completed studying it...I am disgusted. Speechless. I am now at a crossroads. I can never go back to the lies that were told to me. I look back at my life. A life that has always been in the church. My parents took me to church, I grew up in it, and once considered Seminary, even attending online and completing a few classes. Yet in all, I always felt something was amiss, and grew disgusted with the way "Christians" treated their own and others. Not all are bad, there are many who are kind and good, but I cannot go back there.
I was going to hold all my questions until the end of the book. Any questions I had were answered while I was reading. I cannot think of any for you at the moment.
I want to thank you for writing this. I know it took you a lot of time, and continues to do so. I have not seen anyone do anything this thorough. It was what attracted me to Prophet of Doom when I was looking to answers to Islam.
I have started to focus my reading energies to Yada Yahweh and gathering translation materials to further study Scripture in the early manuscripts.
In all of this, I have found a new appreciation and love for Yahuweh. I am looking forward to Pesach, and my wife and maybe a couple of friends are going to celebrate it with us.
While I am cutting off my ties to religion and politics, there is a great weight lifted. I hate to see my nation crumble. But with political corruption run amok, and the few votes we get to "change" anything only for it to remain the same because we didn't really have a choice anyway, I see no real solution to correct things. And if these things must occur for the completion of Yahuweh's plan, then what can be done, but focus utterly on our relationship with Him and help those around us? I am so disgusted with religion I cannot put it into words.
Now I have to learn how to walk along with Yahuweh. Fortunately the Torah is there to teach me. If I have a question for you, it is this. How do I effectively teach it to my family? My wife is starting to see what I have been studying and that gives me such great joy. My boys are only 20 months, and I want to be able to teach them the truth as they get older. If I am reading it right it is as simple as studying and reciting the Torah and keeping the Miqra'ey. What did you do?
B Craig wrote:B,
I greatly appreciate your review of Questioning Paul. Your response to the material mirrors my own. There is so much for us to unlearn and walk away from. But fortunately, there is something wonderful for us to walk toward.
I have attached my Prelude to Yada' Yahowah. I am writing it for the very same audience you are seeking to use such information. Unfortunately, however, it is not finished. But by reading the first five sections, The Word, The Name, The Torah, The Covenant, and The Commandments, you will have much of what you need to share the truth with your family and friends. But please don't read the final two sections on The Called-Out Assemblies and The Prophets because they are not ready.
Please continue to stay in touch, B. I've enjoyed getting to know you.

Hi, I've been following this forum for a while now. Also read Swalchy's writings about QP. I must admit, CW did an excellent job with Yada YaWeH at first. It's a pity that lately his work is in danger of being greatly disregarded because of his emotional and presumptuous remarks. He clearly poisoned himself up to the point where he is unable to write unbiased and find himself guilty of the exact faults he accused Paul of - twisting and turning the truth to fit his own ideas. Paul definitely seems to be in the wrong. To go any further, one is in danger of falling in one's own trap...

And the victims who submit to religious indoctrination will find their souls separated as dross, ultimately ceasing to matter, returning to the ground from which they were made. In the crucible metaphor, souls who don’t accept God’s way out are "burned off" into nothingness, while their oppressors are left confined for all time. And yet those who rely upon Yahweh, walk with Him away from judgment and to the Promised Land." There is no righteousness in this statement. You are condemning the unrighteous with the decieved. That isn't justice.
Pauls comment about the law comes from Nehemiah; Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law............. Neh 10:29 They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes; Dan 9:11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. (A law no one could obey) Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. (A law no one could obey) Deu 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. (a law no one could obey) I submit to you this; There is only one that could obey the law. There is only one that ever could. Yahuweh himself. No other man had ever obeyed the law without sin. He came and fullfilled the law for us, that we may not be cursed by his righteousness, because we ALL SIN. ( 1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Throwing Galatians away while the rest of the NT agrees with it is pure hypocracy. As far as faith is concerned, you stated; "But these Galatians passages certainly suggest that Christian theologians are justified in their interpretation of Paul’s message when they cite this letter as evidence that the Torah is an outdated burden which enslaves, and when they preach that Paul’s "faith" liberates. But why is it that not one Christian theologian has the character, courage, and intellectual integrity to say that Paul’s position, if Christians have interpreted it correctly, is diametrically opposed to Yahshua’s teaching on the subject of salvation, and his statements are in direct conflict with Scripture?" The Torah IS NOT OUTDATED. Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Here is some scriptural understanding of faith; Jas 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Jas 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Jas 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Jas 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Jas 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Jas 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Jas 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? (Do you understand this?) Jas 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only?. (You see?)
Jas 2:25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? Jas 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. There is no such thing as simply "believeing", because "faith" is the motivation for "works". Works of the Law? Heaven forbid. Obedience to the NT ESTABLISHES THE LAW in the saviour. Let me give you an example of obedience to the NT. Act 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, AND TO ALL THAT ARE AFAR OFF, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Yashua made this statement twice; Mat 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. Mat 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the NEW TESTAMENT, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. I looked up "new" in strongs. it doesn't appear to to be as though it means "renewed". Also, you are throwing the book of Hebrews out when you chunk out Galatians; Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. Heb 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. Heb 7:13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. Heb 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. Heb 7:15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Heb 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. Heb 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Heb 7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. Heb 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. Heb 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: Heb 7:21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) Heb 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Heb 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: Heb 7:24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Heb 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Heb 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Heb 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. Heb 7:28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. You had better get past the concept of two Gods; Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 1Jn 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And finally, written by Luke. Not Paul; Act 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
I find it amazing that you have the ability to follow single words back their orgins, but seem to lack the ability to draw simple conclusions. Here is the "passover"; 1Co 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Man I could go on and on. Obey the word of God; And learn who he is, not just his name; If his name is all you know you will be found lacking. 2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that KNOW NOT GOD, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ: 2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; Faith without works is dead. Here is where obedience begins; Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. It seems to me that you are trying to have a "relationship with God", but you are unwilling to have that relationship on his terms. If you truly believe that their is a new, or "renewed" testament, try following it. You may be enlightened. 2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them.......... He paid that price by FULFILLING THE LAW. Either do it his way, or just chunk the whole NT. I would advise you not to gather people to yourself. Thats deception. We have enough of that in the world. Please understand, I mean you no harm, nor am I trying to "cut you down". A lot of your work is brilliant, and I think your a good person. I just don't want you to take my words wrongly Craig. Sincerely, M Craig wrote:Mark, Like so many others, your perspective is so deeply rooted in the myth and misconceptions of Pauline Christianity you are unable to process Yahowah's testimony. I am stating what Yahowah has told us. So your accusation is against God, not me. The quoted statement isn't capricious or unjust. Those who do not know, trust, rely upon, observe, and engage in Yahowah's Covenant, Towrah, and Called-Out Assemblies are judged. That is not my opinion, but Yahowah's message. Further, according to Yah those who deceived others will spend their eternity separated from God. Their victims, the deceived, however, are not punished. They simply cease to exist. That is not a punishment. Having only heaven and hell as Christians teach is unjust. That is why most mortal souls simply cease to exist at the end of their earthly lives. They do not know God and God does not know them. The Ma'aseyah Yahowsha' told us this several times. Most everything Paul said is untrue. In fact you have to be irrational to believe that "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law." It is after all Yahowah's Towrah. Paul's ploy is always the same. He takes something Yahowah has revealed out of context, misquotes it, and then twists his version to suit his agenda. It is exactly what was done in the first two quotes you shared. So, if by recognizing that you have been mislead by Paul in this way, you are now prepared to reject Paul's testimony and religion, then you will have taken the first step toward the truth. If not, you should read www.QuestioningPaul.com. Before you will have any chance of understanding, much less walking to and with Yah, you will have to first reject and then walk away from your religion. Doing so is the lone prerequisite for engaging in Yahowah's Covenant. It is the last thing Yahowsha' asked of us. Your translation of Nehemiah 10.29-30 isn't even remotely accurate. There is no curse. And the Towrah is the very thing the people are committing themselves to observe and participate in. The passage reads: “ And (wa) the remnant (sha’ar – the remainder) of the family (ha ‘am – the related people and kin) , the priests (ha kohen – ministers) , the Lewy (ha lewy – those who Unite) , the gatekeepers (ha sow’er – those who stand guard at the doorway) , the singers and musicians (syr) , the servants (natyn – those doing chores often in association with the Temple) , and all (wa kol) those who have separated themselves (badal – who have dismissed, left, moved away, and set themselves apart (niphal participle – which means that as a result of their relationship they have become what they have done: that by separating they have become set apart)) from (min) the people (‘am – related families) of the earth (ha ‘erets – of the realms and lands) unto (‘el – toward the direction of) the Towrah (Towrah – Torah Instruction and Teaching, Guidance and Direction: from tow – a signed, written, and enduring, tuwr – means to search for, find, and choose, yarah – instruction, teaching, guidance, and direction, which tuwb – provides answers which facilitate our restoration and return, that are towb – good, pleasing, joyful, beneficial, favorable, healing, and right, even tahowr and tohorah – purifying and cleansing, thereby towr – giving us the opportunity and means to change our thinking, attitude, and direction to one that is more fortuitous and beneficial) of the Almighty God (ha ‘elohym) , their wives (‘ishah – women) , their sons (beny) , and their daughters (wa bat) , all (kol) those who had come to actually know and genuinely understand (yada’ byn – who were familiar with discernment (qal participle, telling us that those who actually knew and understood were now actually known and understood)) , prevailing (chazaq – restoring, courageously strengthening, resolutely establishing (hiphil participle affirming that with both parties engaged in the relationship, they became restored, resolute, and strong)) upon (‘al) their honorable (‘adyr – respected) brothers (‘ach – kinsmen) to genuinely move toward and actually pursue (bow’ – to come (qal participle thereby affirming that this movement was real and that by pursuing [the Torah] they were pursued [by God])) with (ba – in) a binding oath (‘alah – a sworn promise) and (wa) vow (sabuw’ah – a contractual promise to fulfill an agreement between parties in full conformity with the truth) to (la) actually walk (halak – to genuinely move through life and make progress (qal infinitive construct, which when following la denotes a sense of purpose)) in (ba) the Towrah (Towrah – Teaching, Direction, Instruction, and Guidance) of the Almighty (ha ‘elohym – God) , which relationally (‘asher – which based upon this relationship) was given (natan – was bestowed and provided (niphal perfect indicating that this gift was inspired by a relationship and that it was complete, lacking nothing)) by way of (ba) the hand of (yad) Moseh (Moseh – from mashah – the one who draws out) , the servant of (‘ebed – associate and coworker of) God, the Almighty (ha ‘elohym) , and to (wa la) be especially observant (shamar – to closely examine, carefully consider, thoughtfully contemplate and evaluate [the Towrah](qal infinitive construct denoting genuineness and purpose)) , and to (wa la) actively engage in (‘asah ‘eth – to actually participate in, do, celebrate, and profit from (qal infinitive construct affirming that this commitment is both real and that it serves an actual purpose)) all of (kol) Yahowah’s (Yahowah) , our Upright One’s (‘edown – our Foundation’s), terms and conditions (mitswah – authoritative directives regarding the binding contract) , means used to achieve justice and resolve disputes (mishpat – the basis upon which judgment will be exercised and sound decisions are made) , and (wa) clearly communicated prescriptions and decrees (choq – shared and nourishing thoughts regarding an allocation of something from the whole) .” (Nachemyah / Yahowah Comforts / Nehemiah 10:29-30) Mark, if this is not sufficient to help you leave the lie of your Pauline religion and walk to the truth, nothing anyone can tell you, and that includes God Himself, will save you from your religion. You are currently choosing to trust a man who based upon his claims cannot be right, rather than trust God who proved that He is right. I did not read any more of your letter because I recognized that this alone was sufficient if your mind is open. And if not, nothing else I shared with you would resonate. Craig PS: Thanks for providing the connection between Paul and this verse. I'll include it in the Introduction to God. M wrote:"His positioning of Judaism as a ruthless enemy of "God’s church" has fanned the flames of anti-Semitism and caused horrible and needless suffering. Translations exacerbated the problem to be sure, but it was Paul who presented Judaism as the enemy of his faith: Christianity. The foreseeable and inevitable consequence was to rally Christians to persecute Jews out of a misguided sense of divine retribution." What you say is true. However it is very important to understand, that the "Christians" that engaged in this behaviour are condemned by the Gospel itself, in the writings of Paul....no less..... Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. Rom 11:26 AND SO ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED(MY CAPS): as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I SHALL TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS. Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. Any hatred of Jews by Christians is uncalled for, and a sin. For by the Law and prophets we recieved a saviour. God himself. We should above all, be grateful to those who are the people and the lineage of Yashua. The above scripture should be self explanitory, and this is the scripture used to come to the conclusion I have about Jews; Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; It would be unrighteous to hate him which has had a hand in our salvation........................... M Craig wrote:M,
Please stop quoting and trusting Paul. He was a false prophet, a false apostle, and a very, very evil man. And if you don't recognize this, as I myself was unaware, then read Questioning Paul. It is impossible to reconcile Paul's statements with Yahowsha's or Yahowah's. And that makes Paul a liar. Period.
Craig M wrote:Since you answered my email I WILL study deeper, and will study "questioning Paul". I do not intend to let the matter lay. I want the truth. Thank you for your time Craig. Also, thank you for your studies. M Craig wrote:M, that is a wise and good decision. My hope for you is that you will come to appreciate the case Yahowah and Yahowsha' make against Paul, and thereby reject his testimony. From there it will be much easier for you to walk away from Christianity, knowing that by doing so you will find Yahowah, engage in His Covenant, and rely upon His plan of salvation. From what I have learned these things cannot be done without an open mind, the motivation to invest the time, and the will to accept the truth even when it destroys one's religious beliefs. That is why walking away from Babylon, which is manifest today in Christianity, is the lone prerequisite of the Covenant. There are then four additional requirements, all of which you will learn in time.
I can now say for absolute certain that Paul and Christianity are in opposition to Yahowah and thus untrue. And that if you read both QP and the Introduction to God, you will come to know Yah, understand His Towrah, appreciate His Covenant, and rely upon His Called-Out Meetings--that is if you do so with an open mind.
Please write me again if you complete this journey. I promise, it will be worth your time. You will find the truth and discover who has been lying to you.
I was once in your shoes, and would have responded just as you have done. But something happened to cause me to question bible translations, and then my religion. And like you, I wanted the truth. I was not willing to let the matter lie. And I found it, as will you, because the Truth is in the place Yahowsha' told us to look, as did Yahowah.
May Yahowah guide and bless your search.

Just an email to let you know I'm really enjoying YY, having read Questioning Paul twice, and several passages multiple times so as to wrap my brain around the truth I was reading there (now I reject Paul and his doctrine - can't stand to go toward Paul's stuff in any form now thanks to what's revealed in QP) - and have enjoyed YY having read through to now I have read and reread Hayah chapter and about to start the 'Owr chapter...it is very complex but is part of the appeal seeing Yah explaining it all long before He ever even put man on the earth...
I'm also enjoying the blogtalkradio program...you're insights are very helpful in seeing the shell game for what it is: the adversary playing all the whole and parts against each other, and this on the whole world via all his schemes (both political, and especially religious [including secular humanism])...the level to which we all, without a knowledge and understanding of the truth, as a species aren't willing to do to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads, meaning: we all use their fiat money to live, by design - such that everyone continues doing what it is they do so as to keep the fiat money rolling in so we can eat and make a living...the whole world must be indicative of babylon that Yah saves us out of and yet we still, here in the US, have to use their fiat dollars - our military personnel are doing what they do primarily to get fiat dollars to keep their own little boat from sinking...
Don't want to depress anyone thinking about wiles and system put in place by the enemy of Yah long before any of us were ever even born...again, great stuff at YY and the blogtalk radio...please keep up the great work and call of Yah on your life, and I understand it is because you choose Him over this pagan world to your credit!
V Craig wrote:V,
Thank you for such a nice letter.
You are correct in saying that it isn't easy wrapping one's head around Paul's ploy, as he was a clever one, but once you understand his strategy, it becomes easy to reject.
I like the shell game reference. That is a great way to describe what's happening, especially in the news.
Your comments on fiat money and the military are also true.

A wrote:I found Jesus Words Only a few years ago. It sent me into no mans land spiritually. I have no other friends who will hear the message that Paul is a false apostle. I found a link to your website via JWO. I have downloaded your book on Paul and I am working my way through it. It's very interesting and you started with the same premise I did, that Paul could have been misquoted or tampered with. But I'm already convinced he is a false apostle. I am enjoying the book.
One of my friends told me I would lose my faith in Yeshua within the year and I am doomed to fall away.
I am wondering what you (Craig and Ken especially) do for religious practice? Are you Messianic or Jewish or some other something?As I said I am in no mans land currently. The closest synagogue is reform. There isn't one church teaching the truth around here. I just wonder what you do for the a High Holy Days etc.
Also, any articles on Yeshua would be helpful. The trinity is a problem for me and I am struggling with reconciling my previous beliefs. I have always believed in a pre-incarnate Yeshua in the wilderness and supping with Abraham.
I do know for sure that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the One True God, revealed to us as YHWH in scripture.
Thank you in advance for your response.
Still Seeking,

While I've already translated much of what He said, my interest is to find out whether or not everything He said was either a quotation, a paraphrase, a summation, or an explanation of the Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms. Paul is a most divisive character, so the more convinced you become that he was a false prophet, the fewer friends you will have. Christians will condemn you. As you know, I began QP with an agenda. I wanted to prove that Paul's testimony had been corrupted and misquoted, or at least taken out of context or misinterpreted, to make it appear as if he was contradicting Yahowah and Yahowsha'. But as studied the evidence that premise became impossible to support. So the book followed the evidence to its inevitable conclusion. Your friends are right in a way. If you continue to study, and if you now turn to the right place for answers, you will lose your faith in "Yeshua." And it will be replaced by trust and reliance on Yahowah, the God you will eventually come to know. What's also interesting is that Christians have actually placed their faith in Paul, not Yahowsha'. The Christian "Lord Jesus Christ" is more akin to Dionysus than Yahowah. Speaking of knowing, as the book QP suggests, I am always learning. And that means that some of the things I have written, I have subsequently learned were not accurate. For example, I wrote Yada Yahweh before I discovered that Paul was a false prophet, and it has not yet been edited to remove references to him. Also, I have more recently discovered that the Covenant has not yet been renewed. Further, I have learned through further study that God's name is pronounced Yahowah, and that the correct pronunciation of the title and name of His diminished manifestation is Ma'aseyah Yahowsha'. I have attached a Introduction to God which, while not yet complete, presents everything I have learned about the seven things most important to Yahowah: His Word, His Name, His Towrah, His Covenant, His Instructions, His Invitations, and His Prophecies. Ken and I split because of Paul. Ken's theology continues to be heavily influenced by Paul. And Ken is still religious, attending church every Sunday. I love the man, and respect much of his writing, but my study on Paul sent us in very different directions. While I am irrelevant, since you asked, I am not religious. Not in the least. While there is a forum on the site (in which all letters written to me are posted anonymously, and where like minded people share Scriptural questions and answers), and while we conduct a 90 minute internet radio show every M-F from 8 to 9.30 AM PDT (where there is an active chatroom), you will find that we don't belong to any group and we have not formed a group. If you read the Introduction to God you will know and understand why. Being in "no man's land" is exactly where Yahowah wants you to be, so this is a good start. It is the lone prerequisite of participating in the Covenant as you will discover. The Covenant is the only organization (actually family) which matters. In that the next Invitation to Meet with Yah is Yowm Kippurym (the Day of Reconciliations) which begins this Friday at sunset, I would strongly encourage you to read the Reconciliation chapter at: http://yadayahweh.com/Ya...ssemblies_Kippurym.YHWH and then the Shelters chapter found at: http://yadayahweh.com/Ya..._Assemblies_Sukah.YHWH.
Yahowsha' did in fact meet with Abraham. It was one of six previous visits to earth in material form. And while you will find plenty of information in the ITG confirming the fact that the Trinity is a Babylonian religious myth, and while you'll find lots of information on Yahowsha', you ought not be focusing on Him, but instead on Yahowah. The ITG will help you accomplish that. A, most all of us who have come to know Yahowah had to unlearn and reject Christianity, so you are not alone in this regard. And if you participate in the radio program and the forum, you will find many others who have successfully made the transition from religion to relationship, from believing to knowing. As you continue to read and learn, please write me again. Your mind is open, and while it is, continue to capitalize on this opportunity. You are a rare individual in this regard. Yada Don't take my word for it, Look it up.

If I can, I would like to reinstate what yy just said. A relationship takes effort on both parties. Yah has done His part. He has shown all of us that if we take the time to come to know His Word, He reciprocates by being our Father, and in that we can all take the comfort in knowing we have something greater than anyone or anything there is in this temporary life. I now look at this human life as nothing more that a test. Some do their due diligence from the very beginning and in that, they become almost like beacons wanting to show you this light that they have seen, and then there are others, like myself, that manuaver through the choppy waters until the day comes, you realize that there are calm waters, and Yah sent the very one that stood and did calm the waters in this once tumultuous relationship, where you finally settle down and see His bringing you into a peace that only He can achieve. And I thank Him for that. And I thank all my brothers and sisters that have stood strong in the storm as I took my seat on their shoulders, just to keep from drowning, until I could tread the water. I thank my Father for you also, all the time. May Yahowah grant all, the peace I am coming to know. Thank you Father. Thank you brothers and sisters.

Dowd wrote, "He pulled me from the miry pit." I can think of no better description of the quicksand deception that is Paul's Christianity. Being extracted from that religion is like being dragged from a powerful sucking red mud. It takes a powerful, long-lasting washing in the Word to cleanse our thoughts of the thousands of lies we've been told by Paul and his followers.
Thank Yahowah for loving us so much that He maneuvered us into a place where we could be taught the truth, where we could change our minds and return to His perfect and complete Towrah!
May each of us be empowered to live and speak in such a way as to pique the curiosity of those with whom we come into contact, and may we be given the exact perfect wisdom for each instance when we are called upon to give an answer for our trust and reliance on Yahowah and His Towrah.

K wrote:In my search for truth, I came across your website questioning Paul. I have for quite some time had my doubts with the glaring contradictions between the words of Paul & the words of Yahweh. My question for you now is where do I start in my continued search. I see yada Yahweh and it seems almost overwhelming the amount of info presented.
My goal is to learn as much of the truth as possible to be able to present it to others. I know I will be rejected by many, but the few who receive the message will be worth the time and effort. Another question is which "Bible" text do you recommend that I purchase and study from? Any insight you give me is greatly appreciated. May Yahweh bless you for the work you have done.
K Yada wrote:K, Have you read Questioning Paul? It contains 500 pages of proof against Paul. It's free and is a really good place to start. And speaking of starting, by questioning Paul based upon his contradictions of Yahowah, you are headed in the right direction. You are walking away from Babylon. Since writing QP I've been working on the Introduction to God. It is still in draft form, but it is the best place to go after you have rejected Paul and Christianity. If you are looking for quick and easy answers, you will not find them from Yahowah. That is not His approach, or how we approach Him. To know Yahowah, you will have to devote yourself to observing His Towrah - Teaching. The ITG is a tool to help you do just that. There are no even remotely accurate translations of Yahowah's Word. As you read the ITG you will discover the reason why. To know what Yahowah said, you will have to be willing to observe the Hebrew text using the tools listed in the ITG. If you want to learn, you are in for a wonderful journey. Yada Don't take my word for it, Look it up.
