If your life is not in jeopardy for what you
believe, you’re probably on the wrong side!
“Indeed, all who want
to live a godly life united with the Messiah Yeshua will be persecuted.” (2Tim 3:12)
It is what you actually believe that determines how you walk out your faith,
“but avoid stupid controversies, genealogies,
quarrels and fights about the Torah; because they are worthless and
futile.” (Titus 3:9)

Clean vs.
Unclean Animals: Between my Ministry and my Natural Health practice, I am often asked to help decipher what most people
consider to be a difficult-to-understand set of rules and regulations regarding what God considers to be “clean”
and “unclean” animals. This is a handout that I prepared for a talk that I gave at an herb conference in 2003. I hope
that it helps to “de-mystify” the issue and helps you to understand why
Chronology of the Crucifixion and Resurrection: How can the critical prophecy of “three days and three nights (72 hours) in the tomb” be fulfilled by a Friday crucifixion and a Sunday morning (only 36 hours) resurrection? It can’t. Here’s an alternate interpretation of the timeline. (06/08/19)
A Critique of the Sacred Name Movement: The Sacred Name Movement promotes the belief that there an intrinsic holiness in the Tetragrammaton (יְהוָה֒), that it is the only true Name of Elohim, and that it is incorporated into the Name of the Messiah. They state that it is obligatory to call upon HaShem by the Tetragrammaton as a matter of truth (i.e., a condition of salvation). Due to the importance they assert the sequence “Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey” possesses, they believe that it must be reflected in Yeshua’s Name. Advocates of the Sacred Name Movement will then use either “YAHshua” or “YAHushua” to refer to Yeshua. The processes by which they derive these beliefs will be examined on the basis of Scripture. From Talmidei Yeshua Fellowship, 2011. (06/08/19)

The Didache: The Lord’s Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations: The Didache is an early Gentile Christian composition [“to the Nations” in Hebrew means “to the Gentiles”] containing instruction for early Gentile Christian churches.

The signatories to that letter, titled A Common Word Between Us and You, include top leaders from around the world representing every major school of Islamic thought. The text of “A Common Word Between Us and You” appears at www.acommonword.com. The response was drafted by scholars at Yale Divinity School's Center for Faith and Culture. (06/08/19)

The True Gospel: The so-called “Gospel” that is being taught in churches today is simply not what Yeshua or any of the Apostles taught as “the Gospel;” it is only the “individual salvation gospel” and not the full gospel; it is actually only a small part of the True Gospel. It is missing some very important parts, like radical repentance, discipleship, redemption from exile, the restoration of Israel, and the Kingdom of Heaven. (12/27/20)

The Two-House/Two-Stick Heresy
The “bottom line” of this heresy is that it teaches that all “Christians” are actually members of the so-called “lost tribes” of Israel. If this were actually true, it means that only descendants of the Hebrew Patriarchs can ever be saved; it effectively locks all non-Jews out of the Kingdom of God eternally. It is actually a revival of the Anglo-Israelism heresy taught by the Armstrongs based on Allen’s Judah's Sceptre and Joseph's Birthright.
Judah’s Sceptre and Joseph's Birthright by J. H. Allen. The “source document” for the Anglo-Israel heresy which claims that the British royal family are the true heirs to David’s throne. This is also the source for the “two-house/two-stick” theology. (06/08/19)
