Hi, Bridget, and welcome to the forum. You'll find it populated by folks like you, honest searchers---a class of people that Yahweh never turns away empty. We don't have all the answers, but we do know where to find them: in God's Word. In a world full of religious turmoil, peace and truth are still available if we're but willing to open our eyes. Welcome to the land of "seeing things more clearly."

Welcome Kent, we are happy to have you.


You took the same path as me. I was an anti-religion agnostic who studied Islam after 9/11, and through POD found YY, and have fallen in love with Yah and His Towrah more and more as I study it.


You aren’t kidding about time being a precious commodity, at least in the here and now, we all have so much to learn, and so many to reach in such little time.


If you are wanting Yada to respond you will have to email him, email@yadayahweh.com, He almost never checks the forum unless someone emails him about it, and never corresponds on it. He does however answer most every email he receives. If you are interested in conversing with those of us here at the forum, and I hope you are, then this is the right place .


I would agree with this to a degree. When we are engaging in a one on one, it is definitely more productive to hold off on condemning things outright, but rather to let the truth condemn it. I think however if you are writing or communicating to a mass audience it is important to condemn both outright and with the truth that which Yahowah condemns.
Most of what Yada says about Islam is condemning it with the truth, Muhammad was a rapist, a pedophile, pirate, and a terrorist, these are all facts, and while condemning of him they are the truth.
Just my opinion.


A rework of the website is in the works, as soon as the new book is finished, and I imagine Yahowah’s name will take center stage.
Just curious how you came to the Yehowah rendering, I have never seen that rendering of the father’s name.?


Thanks for the input Kent, I hope you will stay around and continue to offer your input, and insights. Again welcome to the forum.

Forgive me if I made mistakes in posting..still learning. The first post above should have a line in point 2 bolded..but hmm let me try again. Practice makes perfect.


Thank you. You know about that hmm what is it? Only 1% that really care..took the effort to post?
I really do. Took me an hour to type that first post. To show further appreciation to Yada and the team's works.
He responded to my emails in lightspeed..and I just cant thank him enough, hence coming here to show support as he suggested.
And furthering and accelerating my learning process..definetely.


You know what? I am almost 40 years old. Spent a lifetime trying to have an intelligent discussion regarding our Creator. Yet no place..I mean NONE at all..that will accept a fair and open-minded forum for this purpose. All other places have this rules against religion and politic being discussed. Hope this is a unique place.


I do understood. Hence just a suggestion. Words have different meanings to each individuals. Depending on their personal experiences and brain-washed dogma.
For instance..instead of saying rapist..perhaps reword it to a more politically-correct and hence hard-to-deny title..or just quote it as fact..like "He forcibly assault women sexually."
See the difference? Dont give them ammo. Dont throw more wood into the fire. For example :
"Muhammad was a rapist, a pedophile, pirate, and a terrorist"
"Muhammad forcibly assault women sexually, even underage (havent reach puberty/havent started menstrual cycle) children.
He also publicly rob others of their material wealth and freedom of movement, without consent or provocation.
He definitely condone spreading fear on peaceful community, with intent of gaining beneficial conditions on himself."
lol A waste of time, spaces and words. Right? But sometimes its useful, depends on the opponents or target audiences.
Yeah lack the punch and sometimes didnt get the real meanings through. But, just a suggestion. lol
Imagine this from myself..who wont compromise on any shades of Gray.


Oh, that was my mistake. Yada did emailed me the revelation of Yahowah. But decades of brain-wash and habits, hard to correct. Thanks for the reminder.
In Indonesia, we use local translation for almost everything. Sometimes its beneficial and closer to the original source, actually.
For instance King David, is known here as Daud. Similiar to Dawud or Daywud rite?
Jesus is Yesus. Jacob is Yakub. Moses is Musa. etc etc
Not only for scriptures, but for other religions too. Local names, sometimes much difference than original.
As for Yehowah, we know it from Jehovah = Yehowah.
I think I prolly better force myself to stick to Yah from now on.
Its appropriate too, as in Indonesian..Yah = Father.


I intend to learn a lot first, before asking further questions. Pointless to jump around or straight to (but actually missing) the point.
I read here that some even joined here for a year, reading around and then started to post. lol
To better understand me..I rather follow the Theravada school of thought, then Mahayana one..of Buddhism.
Till next time. So long and thanks for the fishes. lol

Brother, that is one of the most beautiful ideas I have heard ever. It is exactly what our heavenly Father did for us, isn't it? Wow. Thank you for sharing that with us!

Richard

I can type/talk endlessly with strangers/friends without feeling fatigue/boredom. Yet I am too lazy to write a diary/journal. Put me back to perspective on which and what is more important in the end. Makes me appreciate better the effort of Yah. It takes commitment, sacrifice and sincerity.
My daughters are still 6 and 5 respectively, cant handle heavy philosophical subjects still. lol
I wonder if the time I spent, watching and explaining cartoons/xtians fables might damage their perspective in the future somehow. I know I got brain-washed that way, enjoying the songs and stories from scriptures.
This written inheritance project of mine, had to be an ongoing passion of mine. Its my attachement of love to them. They give my life a purpose and what a beautiful life it is, just because they exist. Thats how I can understand the feeling and pride of Yah, on us. Even if we stray, even if we stumble..the love will never..change. I know that even if I failed to live up to His expectations, to return to Him..Yah love us just the same. And that is enough..for me. Thank You Yah.


Even if my children forgot/stop caring/despise me..my love for them..will never..change. Thats how I know Yah feels for us. He created us..watched us grows..that is enough for Him and us..to sustain the everlasting bond.


Will always be a thorn in my side. Equality. Why must always be the masculine first? Why Adam first and then Eve? At least Yah should start a fair example. Why must a masculine Son? Why only one? Why not show an example of an equal COMPLETE image? A Son and Daughter..both in creation, works, sacrifice and legacy. Always a Patriach..with Prophets, Leaders, Son. The world might be a better state now if all follow the example of the animal/plant kingdom. The bees/ants/trees/etc have Matriachs calling the shots. A circle of Order. Even the Adversary have a masculine connotations. But this is a deep and probably eternal enigma. Only Yah knows. That will be enough. Really?

Now..another one. Regarding Gandhi and Mother Theresa. Almost all universally regards them as the perfect example of the virtues in a human. Peaceful, full of compassion, wise, incorruptible. What will happens to them? A lifetime of service, without/few sin, epitome of virtues. Will they be accepted with Yah? Even never knowing the invitations, covenants, truth? A life wasted or a life well lived? An eternal question of mine.
A hermit..born in a mountain. Lived alone. Born from parents that soon leave him/her to eternal solitude. Alone. Without knowing there was others. Without knowing virtues or sins. Just like a baby. Farm/forage alone. Live and die alone. What will happen to this lone soul? Damnation for ignorance? Salvation for purity? Only Yah knows.

As for me..I had lived a life almost to the middle/last stages. My conscience weight well on the scale. No point/sense pondering on reward/punishment. Sincerity is the key. Whatever judgement befel me, will be accepted with grace. A life well done. A gift enough from The Creator. Thank You.

I think Yah’s ideal is for males and females to play different, equal and complementary roles. For example the role of the Set-Apart spirit and the role of Yahowsha are different, equally necessary and complement each other, without out the other each is insufficient .
Another reason is the cultures of the world with which he was dealing. While He shaped the Hebrew culture initially He had to work within that culture. So to make His plan clear to them He had to use metaphors that the people He was talking to would understand. In cultures of that time Sons were their father’s representative, if a man sent his son to another city his son was for all intents and purposed him, he was about his father’s business and conducted it in his father’s name, his father would be held to the commitments that the son made. So in this culture the best way to explain Yahowsha to people would be as a son.
One of the messages of the creation account is that Adam alone was not sufficient, that man alone was not good, and that was the need for creating Chawah.

I don’t like to speculate on the fate of anyone specifically. Scripture makes it pretty clear that no matter how good of a life you lead, unless you have a relationship with Yah you will not have an eternal life with him.
If they didn’t have a relationship with Yah than they wouldn’t want to be with him for eternity anyways. Everything they knew loved and valued will not be there. And as a Catholic Theresa would probably have antipathy to most things that will be there. So heaven would be hell to them.
This is a great example of why the three destinations are so fair and necessary. Yahowah allowing their souls to die is not punishment, it is in fact merciful.

Forgot to address this earlier, but Satan is shown as both male and female as well. The Adversary is presented as the Whore of Babylon throughout the book of Revelation.

I will cut to the chase. I hope I am wrong..oh joy, that means I have still room for improvements. Perfection will be such a lonely curse. Ask The Source.

The Final shocking Revelation is..Realization of our True Potential.

The Source IS Eternal. We are all equally created in His Image. We are all Eternal. Given the same Potential. Otherwise we wont be much of a worthy equal companions anyway. He want a Relationship with an equal Partner.

Order and Chaos. Positive and Negative. Good and Evil. Joy and Suffering. One Source.

In The Beginning there was Only One. There can be NO comparison. No potential for Growth. Experience means Nothing. No point. No sense. Nothing.

In His own Image. The key is in Simultaneous. In Time. Full Circle. Alpha and Omega. The symbol of Infinity. Perfection.

As a parent, I wish for my children same full experience. I know their potential. I know that..in time, they will come to a realization. I will be patient. I will grow and learn together at the same time watching they experience this process of learning. We both benefits. No expectation, just by existing we already fulfilled the destiny.

Simultaneous in Time. We too, as He IS. Whatever happens, the experiences, the learning/growing process, the emotions..all at the Same Time. None will be wasted..all goes back to Source.

What a Realization. What a Gift. Just live. Thank You.

Good for you!

We had similar experiences this year.

I have not been and will never be discouraged! I know what Yah needs me to do, and that is to stay the course and increase awareness of Yah's word so that people can use their gift of intelligence to decide for themselves regarding the one true path!

Thought I would introduce myself.
I am dajstill and I finally got the courage to join today. I found this site as I have been on my journey. I joined the Christian religion pretty early in my life, probably as a young teen or even a pre-teen. And, although I had my "slips" along the way, I have been a "faithful Christian" for over 20 years. However, just over a year ago I started complaining to my husband and my mom that something just wasn't "right" about the Christian religion. How could so many people call themselves to the same title and live so differently? The question I asked my mom in frustration was simply - what are the rules? There had to be some rules! The "grace" concept just wasn't doing it for me, it just didn't make sense. The real kicker though was my three young children. I started homeschooling them this year - left a great job because I wanted what was best for my kids. They have each been saying the "Lord's" prayer every night since before they were 2 years old. But I really wanted to teach them the truth of the Word and the true foundations of our faith. Oh boy! I found that the only thing I could find and that Christians that were actually doing any study would lead me to was the Catholic catechisms. Even people that weren't Catholic said "use this". Hmm, we weren't Catholic - how could we use this as the foundation of our faith? You could have knocked me over with a feather when I found out that yes, actually, Catholicism WAS the foundation of my Christian faith! Now, I was walking in the Christian world as far away from Catholicism as I thought one could get - raised Baptist, spent some time in "non-denominational", some time in a "mega church", then back to what is called in the south "Primitive Baptist". My husband and I knew something was wrong, we thought we needed to just get back to the bear bones of Christianity - I never thought I would be coming face-to-face not with truth, but with Constantine!
So, my journey began with things I thought would be simple questions like - why did we change from Sabbath to Sunday worship. I was sure there was some scripture there that would easily explain it, I just missed it. Wow, was I in for a surprise. I am a researcher (I have a PhD), so I love to dig and dig and dig. My digging started pretty light - books like "Our Father Abraham: the Hebrew Roots of Christianity". From there I dug a bit deeper and started to get into the "Walk in the Light Series" by Todd Bennett. In trying desperately to find out maybe Todd was lying and I could go back to "my Lord", I eventually found Yada Yahweh. I have been both overwhelmed and over joyed by this journey so far. First let me say what has made it so wonderful is that my mother is taking this journey with me! She is 70 and we talk everyday about what we are finding - like the true name of Yahweh that we gladly call upon. I have been saddened by the fact that I didn't start my journey earlier, my kids (my eldest is 6) wondered why we gave away our Christmas tree. I so wish they would have started in this world on the right path. Thankfully they are young enough to still be enthusiastic about us celebrating our first Passover next year. We are still learning and growing - we are just now starting to honor the Sabbath based on the Georgian calendar (sun down Fri to Sat), I can't even get my head around the lunar calendar just yet. My husband is truly a man of Yah, studying when He can and also listening with enthusiasm and trusting me in my study and willingly saying "what Yahweh ask us to do, we will do as a family".
However, my heart is still heavy at times. My whole life was our Christian world and we live in the Bible belt. We live amongst people who will probably think we have lost our minds when they see us celebrate Sukah, but the all the churches around here have a Halloween festival they have renamed "Harvest festival". It would almost be easier living in a big city with lots of diversity. Here the schools don't give out homework on Wednesday because it is "Bible study" day at church. However, I couldn't be more thrilled to have my mom and my husband along for the ride on this journey and my kids who so easily say "Yahweh" when we ask them what is God's name. I have so much to learn and so many ways to grow, but I have learned so much from reading posts here, reading on the YY site, and so many others confirmations. Thanks so much everyone here for posting what you study and learn and even for the debates that take place. You are having an impact on helping people, well Yada Yahweh!

Thanks for the welcome. I just mentioned the PhD to warn people that I have a tendency to make mole hills into giant mountains - a trait of people that spent countless hours and dollars "studying" things that really have no merit. So, it wasn't bragging as much as asking people to excuse the bad habit that comes from being groomed to "pile higher and deeper".
I am also dyslexic, so my spelling can be quite "unique" so to speak - LOL.

Again, thanks for the welcome, I am enjoying myself!

Welcome dajstill

Hey, I overthink and overanalyze things and I don't even have a PhD!

Just remember to keep your mind way open, and to question everything you read and hear! This includes what you hear and read on Yada Yah! It is truly amazing and eye-opening when you are able to engage in conversation with others.

Enjoy the time with family and friends...and remember DONT STOP DIGGING AND DIGGING!

May Yah Bless us All!

Welcome, Dajstill! Good to have another woman on this forum -- there are only a few women here. I'm glad you are a PhD! You can steer us into deeper study, and logical thinking - right? Where did you go to school? What do you think now of your education; what was the most useful, and what was deceptive and/or harmful?

I have four young granddaughters (all under 4 years of age), and I am trying to steer them in the right direction. My daughter is starting to listen and share some thoughts about the traditional holidays with her clients at work. Next year our son and his family will be returning to the US from living in Europe, I will try to organize a big family week-long get together for Sukah.

Anyone have a source for some helpful children's books?

pilgramhere, welcome. how fortunate you are to have discovered this site. you will delight day by day in the postings and caring you experience here. i could write forever of its goodness. stay and discover. you will not be disappointed.

james, eeeeek! did you mean to say "women"?

Thank you James/tagim,
I need to set a slow pace to bring my wife along as she has only recently become receptive to FH. I suspect ITG may be more than she could handle for a while. For several months, I observed that her paradigm was becoming flexible and waited for her to gain interest. We’ve been listening to some FH together the past few Sabbaths. I have ITG in my phone, but I keep losing my place. Ken sent me some of his TC which I found fascinating as well. But right now, I don’t want to create an imbalance in my home that would be counterproductive. If I build much enthusiasm where my wife has only trepidation (which I share to some extent), we may not progress as well. I appreciate the encouragement.

I am in Lubbock and have lived in Arlington, Abilene and Sugar Land.

Welcome, PilgrimHere!

I can identify with you about your good wife. It can be difficult not to become discouraged. I encourage you to persevere.

Richard

Welcome pilgrimhere, You will soon recognize that you are leaving the cult, not entering it. What struck me (struck me right upside the head) when I first read YY, was the beauty and simplicity of Father's Word through Yada's method of amplified translation. What a joy to read His Word in language and context that made sense. And the real beauty is that it is all laid out for you to be your own fact checker, using some simple, free online resources you can compare other translations, word roots and meanings, etc.

I often (still) have trouble with Yada's hard edge (I have trouble listening to the audio programs), but I understand it and I can't say it is wrong. And quite frankly I can exhibit the same attitude especially when christians come on the forum to play with the heretics.

Anyway welcome, enjoy the feast

Hi, Robert! Glad to see you introducing yourself to the forum. I have a lot going on today, but I just wanted to say, "hello." Glad to see you and hopefully others in your family on board. My wife has come out of babylon, and our children, (alll 3 grown)
are removing themselves slower, but I take what I get. They have loved seeing the change that came over us manifest itself dailey. We are growing, and when you are no longer burdened with worship of religion or politics, you are out from the bondage.
Welcome from us, Fred and Mary Snell.

Hello All! Good to be back on the forum.
You may remember about four or five years ago, that theHessian showed up on this forum, wrote for a bit, and disappeared. I am he, and I'd like to get my original profile back, but I can't remember my password or what email adress I used, so I'm rather stuck, however, I'm perfectly content to have this profile too.

For a bit, I was content to call myself a messianic Jew, and to run around drawing theology freely from the Tanakh and the "New Testament"- Very much like KP. but after I read AITG, I was astounded. I haven't yet read the Great Galatians Debate, but I have come to the conclusion that since Paul never calls himself a prophet of Yahowah, nor speaks in his name, his perspective is at the very most commentary- and nothing on which to stake your soul, especially when there is Towrah around!

But here I am, back at it, reading like crazy, trying to /shamar wa 'anah dabar Yahowah/ the best way I know how. It's great to see you guys-and even better to know that there might still be time for me!

Adam theHessian

Yirmeyah wrote that "His compassions fail not" and that "His mercies are new every morning." I rely on those truths. Let yourself do the same. Especially on this Day of Reconciliations.

Welcome back. Email James, the administrator, about the profile thing.

Mike,

As for the reasons that I chose the screen name, they are arbitrary. I've actually had a few profiles on here (AdamHayes, AdamBenElohim, theHessian), but I did most of my posts as theHessian. thus far, My forum posts serve two purposes- they are as much of a way for me to track my understanding as they are to interact. If I type in "theHessian" to the "posted by" search function, followed by "match any word" , both theHessian and theHessian1 will show up in the order that they were written.

Adam

Hi Antichrist 

Great name/ moniker 

I also find it interesting that man has replaced Yahs name in the Torah with the Lord.

And now taken the next step and replaced the Lords name with Yahs name in the nt

All it took to open my eyes was reading ALL the Torah in context to realize what a lie the nt is.

Welcome Antichrist  

Hi antichrist
I want to thank you for a statement you made some time back. I think it was something like WAKE UP it’s a lie. It got me questioning the nt . And starting with the virgin birth and how most people want to protect the nt and ignore the Torah.

Thanks again
Jim H
