Hi, haven't been to your website for quite awhile (& apologies for this) but was interested & perplexed to see your comment, "In addition, we have discovered .... that Paul was a false prophet". On what do you base this? The Piso family story?

Was also interested to see that you mention Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread. I agree totally with this. All the Biblical holy days point to Yahshua and God's marvellous handiwork.

With best wishes,

L

L,

Please read www.QuestioningPaul.com. You will find overwhelming and irrefutable proof that Paul was far worse than just a false prophet. I came to realize this a few years ago, and now as a result this and other realizations derived from studying Yahowah's testimony I am engaged in a comprehensive edit of Yada Yah.

There are only 7 set apart days on Yahowah's calendar and they all point to Him and to His home. They serve to enable Yahowah's Covenant's promises. They provide the lone means to salvation for those engaged in the Covenant relationship with God. And they are far more important than just worth mentioning. According to Yahowah, all of those who ignore and fail to observe Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Reconciliations will die.

Here is a copy of An Introduction to God. It presents Yahowah's marvelous work.

If you read Questioning Paul and/or An Introduction to God, please share your concerns, criticisms, and conclusions.

Hi,

My name is R from North Carolina. Just writing to thank you for your writings. I appreciate the work you have done. My family has been seeking Yahowah for twenty years now. Are you going to be having any organized Feast of Tabernacles observance this year?

-R

R,

It is my pleasure to share Yahowah's message because it is for all of us. I've attached An Introduction to God because it reflects my own quest to know and understand Yahowah better.

We try to be as anonymous as possible so we don't organize any public observances. Our mission is simply to share what Yahowah revealed and help others understand His Word, Name, Teaching, Covenant, Instructions, Invitations, and Way. My hope, however, is to complete a comprehensive edit of the chapter devoted to Sukah so that we can devote a month of radio shows to it and to Kippurym.

Yada

Hi there, I am making good headways with the Introduction to God up to pg 182. Reading it every free moment I get. I know i need to make changes but i have this internal panic hoping it is all a bad dream! But i have to trust that the real thing WILL be worth it.
Just a few quick questions, where it says in various places that people fell postrate before him. Is this what it says or does it say something else, if it is what is says how does this relate to the standing before him that is contrasted.
Also Is it true or not that the set-apart-spirit came at penticost and that Yahowsha said he had to leave for it to come or is this theory errant thinking also?

B,

Thus far I have not found a "fell down prostrate" passage which contradicts Yahowah's desire for us to stand and walk with Him. When these occur they are usually resolved by either recognizing that the people bowing are being judged, that Yah asks the individual to stand up, that the reaction isn't encouraged or even condoned by Yah, that the context require choosing a more accurate rendering of the letters written in the text than were chosen by the Masoretes, or recognizing that the passage isn't extant in any early manuscript.

This known, Yah has been abundantly clear with His Covenant. He is looking to adopt children, not worshippers. Just look at the two people in His name. They are standing.

The text of the Christian NT isn't reliable, so you can't establish doctrine through it. Even Yahowsha's words have been manipulated. That said, consider the context of Yahowsha's discussion in Yahowchanan. He is equating Himself with the Spirit throughout it because post FirstFruits, Yahowsha' is primarily a spiritual manifestation. He is not in His Passover body (because there was no bodily resurrection and Bikuwrym enables our spiritual rebirth). And while He said that He would be leaving (because He had fulfilled the purpose of the corporeal manifestation of Yah), He did not say that He had to leave for the Spirit to come. The Spirit was already there.

I hope this helps.

Yada

Hello Yada,

I only have a single short question at the end of this, but I'd like to thank you, and offer my story, which you may choose certainly not to read :-)

My first introduction to your website was Ken Power's Future History, which opened my eyes to the inherent logic and testability of the scriptures. I had been an atheist, convinced that all religion was a sham, a self-delusion, a crutch for people who cannot bear thinking that their life is meaningless and that they will die permanently. Of course, I suppose from your perspective, that is true, but for me at the time, "religion" meant any sort of belief in a god, even a relationship with Yahowah. Future History showed me that the scriptures actually make a lot of sense and not merely claim but PROVE their own veracity, a message I had never heard from any church (and no wonder, given that if they taught God's word in its full glory, they would find their own teachings lacking).

Over the last few years since then, I have endeavored to learn the truth and to discover Yahowah; I bought a NKJV bible and read it though from beginning to end. I had not brought myself to read Yada Yahweh at that point, it was too long, and I assumed the bible itself would be more worthwhile at first than a commentary on it. At that point I saw that while Future History seemed to have shown me the light, made it clear, and showed how wonderfully self-consitent and prophetic God's words were, I could not find any real trace of the wonderfully clear prophesies Ken had talked about, nor almost any of the other things he had said which suddenly made Yehowah's words make so much sense, so much more sense than atheism. I couldn't see any reason to conclude about the three pathways after death, or a 6000 year timeline, or, well, anything.

I began to doubt again, thinking that yours was just another way of picking the words you liked, picking your own interpretation. The reason why I had began to search for Yahowah was because Future History showed me that it was not a delusion, that there was great logic to be found there, greater logic than in atheism, and in purely naturalistic scientific inquiry alone. But it seemed that such an impression was false ... I did however also conclude upon reading that Paul's epistles could not be inspired. It was evident, after the many many pages of Yahowah's words and then Yahowsha's words, that what Paul said didn't quite fit. I was inclined to believe in salvation through "faith" (though I interpreted as meaning "trust", and, by the way, most of the Protestant Christians I know also think of faith as meaning trust and reliance, not merely belief, although they do believe that the torah is *mostly* irrelevant). However, I could see that much of what Paul wrote had no basis in scripture, including his prescriptions for women. I didn't think of him as a false prophet, just as someone who hadn't got the entire picture correctly; but if he didn't have the entire picture, it couldn't be inspired scripture.

Then I began to doubt even further if any of this could be believed. If we don't trust Paul, how do we know we can trust anything. Is Ecclesiastes scripture? Is Esther? Is Proverbs? Is Acts? If Acts isn't scripture (being as it is about Paul) then can we trust Luke? Can we trust anything? Is Revelation scripture? If it isn't, then these prophesies that supposedly prove Yahowah is God aren't really inspired. And do they really prove it? Based on my reading, I couldn't see any really serious prophecy. Sure, there is a lot of it, but it all seems vague; I could only pick small parts of it that seemed to fit actual events. Very little of it seemed like something that actually proved it was Yahowah's word, as in something that it is inconceivable that it could have been written by man without God's help. I actually returned to the website to re-read Future History, to see whether it really is being honest with respect to the Bible, or if it s cherry-picking the things that make it sound good. And that is when I saw the relatively new Questioning Paul, and agreed with it almost instantly, having myself concluded that if at least the Torah was God's word, and Yehowsha was God, then Paul could not be inspired. And reading Questioning Paul, I could tell that there was much I had not learned about God from Future History, and so I have now at last turned to Yada Yahweh.

Now, I know that you are in the process of editing it, but I see you have already added mentions of Paul, at least at the start (I have read up to Genesis - Chay). And if I understand correctly, the planned Introduction To God is sort of a separate text, a summary of Yada Yahweh? If so, is there a point up to which Yada Yahweh is edited, a point at which I should stop and wait for updates? How far in are you?

My most important question though, the reason for this mammoth email, is a small question. I am trying to approach Yada Yahweh with skepticism (trying to see if I can actually be sure that God's word as you present it is trustworthy and reliable, not that it merely SOUNDS like it), and so I occasionally take a look at other translations of passages. I understand that you say that they are all either poor translations, or based on corrupted alter versions of the texts (though I am merely taking your word for that for now, and that is quite serious actually, as you depart quite far from the common translations) but I still take a look to see. At least I can now see how the logic in God's words is found when you really look carefully at them. Seeing the difference between your rendering and the NKJV, I am not surprised that reading the NKJV I could not appreciate the wonderful consistency of God's Word. But the tiny tiny question that leads to this immense email is:

Why, in your rendering of Psalm 19, do you miss out 19:10?
Do you have suspicions that it is not authentic, ones that you explain later in the book? If so, I will continue reading, waiting to finish the whole thing in future before getting concerned about any problems.
Or are you just in the process of editing? In that case I will wait until you are finished.

It's just that you have such a wonderful analysis of the rest of the Psalm, and you miss this passage ... it's exactly the kind of thing I want to make sure you're not doing, thus proving that I can trust your analysis and your translation, and thus that I can trust God's Word (that you are not twisting the words to make them seem self-consistent, logical and reliable, that they are in fact reliable because God created them that way). I'm sure that you have a very good reason though, but I want to know what it is :-)


Oh, and a P.S.
I started looking at Islam as well, to see whether I can tell that Yahowah's Word is noticeably superior to it. So far, several surahs into the Qur'an, it doesn't seem too discernible in quality and logic to what various churches teach, but infinitely inferior to God's Word as you share it. For that I am very grateful to you.
I have read Tea with Terrorists, but not Prophet of Doom, and I probably don't plan to ... but I just wanted to ask ... I had a look at this http://www.scribd.com/do...vealed-by-Bassam-Zawadi, and he basically accuses you of taking some things out of context and so on. I also notice that most of things he talks about (and the ones you talk about?) are from sayings, and not the actual Qur'an, and well ... I wouldn't judge Yahowah's Word by what someone else (like Paul) said while claiming to represent it. Anyway, it's related to my tiny question because after reading this I am looking out for anything that could be considered "quoting out of context" in Questioning Paul and Yada Yahweh (and I have found nothing). But I was wondering how honest do you perceive yourself to be when you say that your approach to studying Islam was the same as your approach to studying the bible? I mean surely you were already convinced of the trustworthiness of Yahowah's words, and thus you knew from the outset that Islam could not be true?

Ooh, one more P.P.S
Which books of the "bible" do you consider reliable, inspired scripture? For example, I think you mention that Peter's epistle is prophetic, but I had a look after finishing Questioning Paul, and he uses the word "grace" too! Surely if you are correct, then if Peter's epistle was inspired, it would not have used "gratia"? I checked the first rendering of the Greek text I found with Google, and it says gratia, not some other word that may have been mistranslated as grace. And then there's books like Esther, which don't really fit, and Ecclesiastes, which looks like an atheist concluding that there is no purpose to life ...
And complementary to this, how much of the scriptures have you investigated with your "etymological microscope"? Since you were planning to defend Paul, but while studying it closely discovered it could not be scripture, I presume that means you had not studied his epistles previously? I can certainly imagine it must be a lot of work to do what you do for even a single chapter ...


There, that's it. Sorry for flooding you with such a wall of text. I hope it makes you feel your work is appreciated :-)
DB

Dear DB,

I enjoyed reading your letter. Your journey is but a modest twist on the story so many of us share. While I came out of Christianity, most of those with whom I've come to know though YY, QP, and now the ITG were formerly atheists turned agnostics. Yahowah is much more appealing to an open, thinking, receptive, and rational agnostic than He is to a religious individual. The primary difference between you and the many hundreds of others who have come to know Yahowah through these presentations is that most stumble on Prophet of Doom and then migrate to Yada Yahweh. You are the first that has come this way via Future History.

Questioning Paul is the second most rational, albeit difficult, thing I've done in my life. Of the hundreds who have read it and expressed their conclusions, everyone seems to concur with the realization that Paul did not speak for God. And for us, it has been as if a great burden has been lifted from us. Paul was always the odd man out who had to be rationalized.

Speaking of rational, the most relentlessly logical and challenging thing I've done should you be wondering has been the attached Introduction to God. I think you'll enjoy it. The ITG began as a rewrite of the Re'syth Prologue of YY, and then expanded to help my youngest son share his relationship with Yahowah with someone he was seriously dating at the time. But it has taken a life of its own and is now a treatise on the seven topics most important to Yahowah: His Word, His Name, His Teaching, His Covenant, His Terms, His Invitations, and His Way.

As for the 10th verse of the 19th Psalm, I skipped it because it I thought it lost too much in translation and didn't add enough to our knowledge base or understanding relative to the Towrah. It was written to be sung in Hebrew, was set to music, and the poetic terms meant much more to the listener's ear than they do to us today. Moreover, if I recall correctly, in the ITG I covered the symbolism of honey and money elsewhere in the text. Also, since you are a proponent of not picking and choosing, but instead laying everything out for us to consider, the ITG's presentation of the 119th Psalm is the single most rewarding thing I've ever undertaken. And all 176 verses are there for you to ponder. So there is merit in full disclosure.

Moving on to your second question, I've completed a substantial, albeit still inadequate, edit of the first 22 chapters of YY. I hope to have them posted on a completely redesigned site over the next couple of weeks. I try to be honest with readers. I'm learning, and as I learn I discover that there are many things which I have to correct in previous writings. I don't claim to have all of the answers, only that I know where to look for them.

To answer your third question on Prophet of Doom, it is the most contextual, chronological, and comprehensive presentation of the Qur'an and Hadith ever compiled. Further, the Qur'an is Hadith (an Oral Report from Muhammad and his Companions), and the Hadith are essential to Islam. Without the Hadith, Islam does not exist. I'd encourage you to read POD. It is the fourth most rational thing I've written, after the ITG, QP, and YY. The Qur'an will make considerably more sense to you set into the context of Muhammad's life - which is the basis of POD.

Regarding the queries listed in your PPS, those questions are all answered early on in the ITG - in the Word section. Apart from Yahowsha's words, I don't think much of the "NT." And while I'm interested in Peter's opinions, even John's, thus their letters, I do not see their letters as Scripture - not even close. But, if you are still searching for answers on these questions after reading the ITG, please send me a note and I'll do my best to provide an answer.

Let me know what you think of the attached ITG. And if you get through it (850 pages) before I get the revised YY chapters posted, let me know and I'll send you the revisions of every chapter in the first 2 Volumes.

Lastly, I do an internet radio program M-F 11 AM to 12.30 PM EDT (http://radio.yadayahweh.com/). The Chat Room is very active. But you can also listen to the archives. The show is currently focused on the ITG and goes well beyond what is written. We also have a forum on the YY site, and it is filled with very smart former atheists. The link is on top of the www.YadaYah.com homepage.

Again, thanks for the letter. I've enjoyed getting to know you.

Yada

I appreciate your reply I know your are a busy man,so I will try to not ramble on.
My first steps in developing a relationship with Yah came from the false or at least imperfect prophet Herbert Armstrong. I was a member of the Worldwide C of G. from 1971 till1995. I left due to doctrinal changes which were unacceptable I knew I had to leave. Being a member there was about as good a place as any I know of at the time ( except for what I termed bowage: that's a word I made up, you won't find in the dictionary, it is still a good word).
I was in global C. of G. for a while and I also went to a reform synagogue at the same time ( there is a story there that I won"t go into now). I learned a tremendous amount in towrah study there. After several years I was told my beliefs were unacceptable in the synagogue. This I took as meaning I should leave. No hard feelings. I also got the feeling I wasn't welcome in Global so I stopped going there. A small home fellowship (closes friends) voted to mark me or something like that. Impressive credentials.
Why am I telling you this? Just to let you know where I am coming from. I have gotten all of my understanding of the yearly sabbaths days from the WC of G. I have wondered whether they were right. You are as far as I can tell at this time, close to what I have gotten from them : but in several areas you seem to be really in need of up dating and we may need to be updated in other areas. I say we as I am including the small congregation of Yah that I get together with on the yearly sabbaths. Mr Miller our one and only minster or what ever an appropriate term would be was kicked out of Ambassador College for trying to observe the new moons (observer towrah). Herbert did the kicking out personally. Isn't that bowage?. Bow and worship! I felt like on one hand they were so much more right than everyone else that I could not go anywhere else: but on the other that what we had was ASS HOLE Christianity. Now that is not a nice thing to say about one what ever it should be called. On the topic of bowage: my ink pen ran out of ink in the middle of an hour plus sermon once, so I raised my head and just listened to Mr. Mc Crady the minister. He flew into a rag and said in front of several hundred people that we should not be looking up but taking all this down. I sat the rest of the sermon with my head reverently in a position of bowage. Continuing he let us know in no uncertain terms that it was not Frank Mc Crady seeking but rather it was JESUS CHRIST Himself. I was (excuse the ^%$@%^%$) ______ . I went home and had some words in prayer. I was not happy and I let it be known. Soon after he was replaced.
As a word Smith you have expressed a lot of my thoughts, feelings and conclusions much better then I have been able to. I agree with you in so much. One thing which really bothers me is your view of the "uncalled". What happened to the White throne Judgement? What about the Last Great Day Lev 23:36. The Feast of Tabernacles is Seven days vrs. 34,39,40,41,42. Yahsuah stood up on the LAST GREAT DAY OF THE FEAST ( sorry I don't have my strongs here so I don't have a verse). My mother and father will die soon they have done the best they can but they are not called. When they die they will cease to exist they will be dead. This I understand. We are on the same page to this point. Yah has a lot of time lots and lots of it. He waited till it was his time for me to be circumcised. It was in his time that I came to understand how He could be one not two ( just get Paul out of the way). That has been in the last week or so! Yah has a plan in his time everyone who has not had a chance will get one maybe a very long one. We are told what we need to know now but we aren't told more that we either need or can handle. Yah will work with a small group probably not many million maybe not even that much. This is a start not the finish. Yah has much time.. I have looked for the dry bone chapter in Ezekiel and couldn't find it- maybe it is in a different prophet. Somewhere it says ( where have we heard that before) a mans like will be as a tree. Also consider Moses pleading for Israel when Yah finally had enough with Israel. I think this example of Moses and Yah should tell us something very important. We will become part of Yah, and we will help Yah grow.
Sorry for taking so much of your time, one other thing though. In 1995 when the WC of G. folded My wife and another friend of ours ask me to not just reject the church's new teachings, but to continue to study. I spent six years in intense studying trying to figure out what does new covenant in his blood mean. Several years ago I picked it up again I gave up in disgust. I figured if there where an explanation some where it sure wasn't in what I term the personal Covenant. (Yah deals with individuals not a national covenant level). I figured it must be in symbolism in the towrah psalms or Prophets. A very short time latter I came across Yada Yahweh. This story I must tell I was looking on the inter net while working as a substitute teacher to kill time and stay awake. I decided to see what was coming down under the name of Yahweh. Last time one Yahweh bin Yahweh a cultist was getting bowage from his worshipers by having them kill elderly people in Florida. I am glad you arn't doing that. Now that I am listening to your program I am most interest when you talk about the passover lamb. Recently you made reference about the passover sacrifice we would not understand it from a scriptural reference. I did not get whether this is still the case. Maybe you do but I don't. Yes he died for the sins of the people it is one of the reasons he came. ( there are other reasons given in the renewed covenant ). But it is not as simple as it first looks; at least to me. Is this where you are at? I have some Ideas they make sense to me but have no scriptural bases that I know of. It was when I tried to get in put at the synagogue that I was told my beliefs where unacceptable in the synagogue.
Thank you so much for showing me so thoroughly that Paul is is such a poisonous source of unreliable garbage. Getting rid of him is such a blessing. May Yah bless you and protect you.
Yah" s servant R
sorry if this rambled to much

R,

I don't claim to have all of the answers, or to be correct on every issue. I only claim that I know where to look for answers (Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms), and that the answers there are reliable.

I take absolutely no stock in the teachings of religious individuals, so if something I've shared is similar to someone else, then I would assume that we are both reading the same words from the same source.

As for God dying, that did not happen. As for a renewed covenant, that has not yet occurred. You have to be very careful with the Greek "Christian New Testament." It is neither scripture nor remotely reliable.

I'm half way through editing Yada Yah, correcting my many mistakes. The revised chapters should be posted within a week or so. But there is plenty to read in An Introduction to God as it is over 1000 pages of Scripture citations and commentary. I think you have a copy, but if not, then let me know and I'll send it to you.

You should not expect someone to agree with your every position, or to even value all of the same issues you prioritize. While we are seeking to know the same Author, there is so much to learn we all choose our areas of focus. Mine are guided in part by the 119th Psalm. And since we make our observations from different perspectives, and using different approaches, our interpretations and conclusions will differ. Heck, the reason I'm editing YY is that I'm still learning and thus correcting and refining my previous thoughts.

YY

Dear Yada,

I've read through the Introduction to God.

I think it's quite well written. It does still feel a little too long ... you're essentially repeating the same message many times, looking at different verses. But then, you're just following what Yahowah does, and people don't listen anyway!
And I cannot obviously see anything you could cut out, so I suppose it's a moot point.



I've been keeping track of things that seemed wrong or out of place, as well as obvious errors. I though you might appreciate an edit by someone else, given how long the book is. I won't bother you with the small errors though unless you tell me you want my list. They're mostly things like spelling that I recorded if they stood out enough to make me notice them :-)



You haven't entirely clearly stated what you consider to be scripture. I understand you focus on the Towrah, Prophets and Psalms, as well as the words of Yahowsha (with caution) and Revelation.



But what do you think of Esther and Eccelsiastes? And you are sure Revelation fits into all of it?



Now that I've finished reading your introduction, I plan to start going through the scriptures myself, so eventually I hope I would be able to answer this myself, but I'm still interested in your opinion.



Another thing that I wanted to ask is about the book of Job - obviously the original Hebrew probably needs to be looked at, but the English translations give the impression that Job paints a different picture of ha Satan than the rest. That is, in Job, he appears to be simply acting as a "prosecutor" so to speak, trying to show Yahowah that Job is not righteous. It doesn't really seem to mesh with either Satan or the Towrah's view of righteousness as you describe them...


_____________

Now I'm going to go through my list of questions that came up while reading in order.

Aaah yes, the first thing that occurs to me is that I think the ITG could do with an overview of how prophecy, or at least somewhere at the start a link or reference to where one can find an overview in Yada Yah. At the moment, I think it's structured well for a Christian to read, but for an agnostic or atheist, they don't really care if Paul is wrong or whatnot. They want to see if they have any reason to read about God at all, and if prophecy is the means by which Yahowah proves He is reliable, that is what they need to see.
Specifically, somewhere close to the start.




I wrote down while reading it "If I had seen this first, and not Future History, I suspect I would have given it up quickly", because it was Future History's promise of PROOF that overcame the atheist in me, and so I kept reading. Given how long the ITG is to get through, it requires some motivation, so I think it's important. As you say yourself, it's great news for an agnostic that there is proof, but you don't really show it.



There is, however,. proof of Yah's authorship in the ITG.



The next thing was, a demonstration of each of the stems when you introduce them would be very helpful. At some point later on you write "David flew the plane" as an example of the piel stem, and I think you have one more example later. But when you introduce the stems at the beginning, your description of them kind of lost me ... a clear illustration like that would be very nice.


__________

There are some parts where it feels like you say "this may well be the most enlightening passage ..." almost several times a page. I understand, of course, that all of the scriptures are extremely enlightening, but your exaltation still feels almost comically overused ...


__________

I was wondering whether by now you are almost fluent in reading Hebrew?
You state that you still check the lexicons every time, but i was wondering whether you can basically read a passage in Hebrew script outright now? After 10 years of study?


__________

Yet another question (sorry, I actually did keep a list) which occurs, this one more general - if Yahowsha' appeared before, 5 times, why was He born? And what did it mean?



__________

I completely agree that you should look at Yahowsha's words and how they fit in. In fact one of the things that bothers me is that, while it is mostly Paul who is in conflict with the Torah and with your interpretation in general, I feel there are some things Yahowsha' said that don't make sense.



Which also leads to: you say you treat anything in the "New Testament" with extreme caution, even Yahowsha's recorded words, because there are so many manuscripts and they diverge. But has it occurred to you that perhaps if we had more manuscripts of the Towrah, they would diverge as well? After all, we only have 2 - Masoretic and Qumran, and they diverge quite a bit! How do we know that the Qumran scrolls are any more reliable than any particular one of the many manuscripts of the "New Testament"? Perhaps all the other ones (which would lead us to exercise the same caution as you do with Yahowsha's words) just didn't survive?



___________

It also occurred to me that while you make a good case that Yahowsha' ben Nuwn is a strong parallel to Yahowsha' ben Yahowah, but I don't think you justify anywhere including the book of "Joshua" in your 6 books of the Towrah! You say it like a discovery you made, and you piqued my interest, but then I don't remember that you ever explained why.



Additionally, did I just miss it or forget it? How do you determine that Joshua"s father Nun is "Nuwn" and that it means "Almighty"? A quick look at Wikipedia tells me this is not common knowledge. Now a lot of the things you have found are not common knowledge, of course, but I don't remember if you explain where you get this snippet from, given that scholars are thinking it's probably an Egyptian name or something and generally don't know what it means



_______________

Another note - while you eventually justify your rendering of asher' by explaining all the connotations it carries (and it's one of your favourite words if I understand you correctly), it still feels wrong and nonsensical, at least to me, to add "relationally" everywhere, where it basically just means "which/that/who" etc. It is, after all, very directly conveying a relationship between words. In many examples it just seems like it shouldn't be part of the bold text, it seems very artificial, like you're trying to add in a meaning that isn't there. This is especially noticeable when some passages have 'asher rendered without "relationally" where it obviously doesn't work, and others you put it in. It doesn't read like an honest rendering of scripture. Perhaps you could leave it in the brackets?




Likewise, when you render "Honour ... the symbolism of your Mother" that reads extremely contrived. It's a bit reminiscent of the adding of words to force a particular meaning that you deride other translations for. It reads just fine as simply "your Mother" (after all, the set-apart Spirit IS our spiritual mother, it's not just symbolism). It's the kind of thing that it seems to me should remain in the brackets, not in the bold text.


________________

Is there a difference between writing "Mattanyah" and "Matityahu"? I am not sure if I remember you using the second one anywhere, but I've certainly seen it before ...





_________________

After reading through it, I still don't understand why you say "Yahowsha' didn't die for our sins"? I mean, he sort of did, didn't he? He was executed so he could endure separation to pay the penalty for our sin, corresponding to Unleavened Bread?


__________________

Oh, and in one place you say "There are hundreds of thousands of websites, articles, blogs, and opinion pieces devoted to ridiculing me for being myopic and focusing on a literal rendering of Yahowah’s Word while having the audacity to expose and criticize the religions God’s testimony impugns."



I was wondering ... well, I think to really judge the reliability of someone you have to read/listen to criticism of them. And I think it likely that if I follow your method of analysing the scriptures I'll probably not find much wrong with your conclusions. But it still bugs me that no-one else has made them. I mean, surely there are SOME other people who study the Towrah with an open mind, not taking any religious assumptions? And I cannot be sure this is the right way to do it unless I can see and evaluate someone arguing against it. But I haven't found anyone, except Muslims who complain about Prophet of Doom. Your only critics that I have been able to find are those who have read through Yada Yahweh and agree in general, but might disagree on a specific detail. For example I think there are some who think you're being too harsh to Paul and that only Galatians is out of place. So far, I kind of see your point - the other epistles also demean the Towrah, so even if they are of a higher quality, they're still wrong.




I know it may be too much to ask, but are you aware of any rebuttal of your work that is reasonable that I could have a look at?



And continuing this theme, I have attached a short book by a "New Testament" scholar about mistakes people make when analysing the scriptures. I can just feel that if he were shown your work he would say you're committing the word study fallacies - of looking too deeply into the meaning of words, of inferring meaning that isn't actually there from root words or from similar words, etc. I ... my opinion on it is that it's possible that you've made a mistake, but the picture you reveal is so much more logical than anything else, I tend to lean towards seeing your methods as reasonable. After all, this scholar would necessarily claim that Yahowah made a plan for Yisra'el and then threw it away and replaced it with "salvation through grace by faith" ... nevertheless, is there some way you would respond to this? Are you really certain you have the right idea, and your methods are sound? That you are not missing the message that the words actually make, that you are not forcing your own ideas upon them by looking for connotations where none are actually implied?



And speaking of which, are there things you and Ken Power disagree on?


_____________________

Moving on, (sorry, this wall of text is even larger than my last one!), you say that you have long recognised that those who hold high office (incl. religious) recognise that they are lying. Is that really true? I really get the impression that many of them actually think they are right!!




You give one example of an anonymous preacher that you say agreed with you but said he couldn't say it or he would lose his followers. Which elements of what you say here was this? As in was this recent or before you discarded Paul? Because if it was before, I have a suspicion he wouldn't agree with you anymore, and then you'd be being dishonest ...



______________________

Aah, this occurs to me. You mentioned several mixups with letters, something to do with the "Teth" I think and also the missing letter "Gah" But if the Hebrew alphabet was created by God to convey his message, and this letter was there, then why isn't it in the inspired acrostic (Psalm 119)? That is, if Yahowah basically authored an ACROSTIC, surely He would use the letters he wants us to know?



______________________

You make a big deal of how the Towrah is in no way a "law", but what about the parts that are actually basically civil laws? Like the laws about stoning to death for murder etc.? I mean those aren't *just* guidelines for us to "observe" and "study", those are laws on which a society could be built ...



_______________________

This caught my eye. I'm pretty sure the infinity symbol does not come from an "8". The glyph for the 8 may have some origin in Hebrew, but not the infinity symbol. You mention this on page 860 in the document that you sent me). It is just plain dishonest. Or do you know something I don't?



Related: is the statue of Liberty actually Athena? A quick Google search (Wikipedia, of course) tells me it's a statue of Libertas, a Roman goddess (and NOT the counterpart of Athena, that one is Minerva).


__________________________

And a last one that occurs to me though it's not on my list is the word 'ebed. You say that it means coworker to justify why various prophets call themselves Yahowah's 'ebed, but in the Towrah, isn't 'ebed actually used to refer to servants such as those who had to be freed every sabbath year? Or am I getting something wrong again and should go and study it myself?


__________________________

All right, I think those are the main questions that occurred to me while reading it.
I hope you can answer them.

I also have a list (not too long) of obvious spelling errors that I found. I ... am not the most tactful of people, so if my criticism annoys you don't worry, I'll keep it to myself. But if you are interested, I'll send it to you.



Finally, I am now interested, I suppose, in the missing chapters of ITG (still in progress?) or the revised chapters of Yada Yah. If you would send them I'd love to read them now.
I hope I am not taking up too much of your time.
Thank you for your work though!

DB.

Yada, Haven't had time to respond to your lengthy response. When I do it will be very short and sweet!!

However, talk about errant translations. It seems as if it starts right at the beginning, Gen.1:1.

I don't know whether the various lexicons would be of assistance. But I have now verified this with more than one Hebrew expert. Ber. (Gen.1:1) actually reads "In a beginning ....." and NOT "In the beginning....."

Beresheeth = in a beginning
versus
Baresheet = in the beginning

They rationalize that it is an idiomatic expression and therefore the translation is correct. Yahowah's language, I believe is precise. What do you say?

Sorry I can't write the Hebrew letters in this mail.

I have a fruitful imagination and this makes me think ........ or should I stop??

Be blessed.
Koos

Hi Koos,

Sorry for the delayed response. I've been preoccupied trying to edit and correct YY.

In the Hayah chapter of Bare'syth I make this point, revealing that the article ha isn't extant in the text. But we have to be careful with articles, both definite and indefinite, because they seldom translate perfectly from one language to another. For example, there are many times that they appear in the text yet have to be ignored in translations for grammatical reasons. And the oldest manuscript we have of this verse dates to the 11th century CE MT, so it is not especially reliable.

Prepositions and articles are prefixes in Hebrew. Ba, featuring the prefix of the letter Beth, conveys "in" and "with" while ha, featuring the prefix of the letter Hey, conveys "the."

For the sake of understanding, this was not the only beginning. There will be a new beginning just over 1000 years from now when Yah creates a new universe. Also, we individually experience a new beginning with Yahowah via His Covenant. So "In a beginning..." is instructive. But so is "In the beginning..." which addresses the creation of the current universe.

Yada

Hi Yada

Hope you are well?

Koos send me this book, maybe he has shared it with you, if so, just ignore this one.

I would like to have your point of view once you have worked through it. I have just started on it.



Shalowm
C

C,

I struggle with this guy's terminology. I completely disagree with "you shall keep," especially when he says that it "is not a request or a suggestion, but a directive, a command." That isn't true, and it is especially misleading, in that it conveys the opposite of what is true. So since his terminology and attitude are so errant, it's hard to take his research seriously.

Knowledge gleaned from observing the Towrah teaching of Yahowah ought to lead to understanding by way of thoughtful consideration. We should then respond to what Yah has revealed and requested. But the choice is ours. Yah's instructions are requests offered under the auspices of freewill. That is the essence of the Covenant. It is why so many Hebrew verbs were scribe using volitional forms and moods.

A few months ago Koos sent me this guy's material relative to the Shabat and I was not impressed with his evidence or his reasoning. There was too much man and too little Yahowah in his information and thinking. Moreover, by focusing upon the timing instead of the meaning of the Shabat, his arguments are more distracting than useful.

I am convinced that this author means well, and that his heart is in the right place. But he's not looking to the Towrah for answers. And his perspective on the nature and purpose of the Covenant isn't appropriate. He needs to change his thinking, his perspective, and his attitude toward Yahowah before trying to teach. While we all make mistakes, we don't want our initial mistake to be as out of whack as is his "keeping commands."

If there is a Scriptural point from the Towrah in his book that you'd like me to consider, I'll gladly do so in light of those things we know to be true from the Towrah. But I don't want to pour through his errant translations, historical records, and legal reasoning process unless there is a specific point related to the Towrah that you would like evaluated.

If you read his book, let me know. But if the only question addressed is whether Yah's original seventh day was Thursday-Friday or Saturday-Sunday when moved to our calendar, I'm not interested. Moreover, in 33 Yahowsha' observed the Shabat on what we now call Friday-Saturday, and that is good enough for me.

The instruction is to observe (examine and consider) the seventh day. It isn't to establish the seventh day.

Yada

PS I found the letter from Koos on this fellow's book and my response. Since you mentioned Koos (whom I love and respect) I've pasted it below...

Yada

hi Yada,

I have a Pesach-related question, before I send in my question about Revelation. Maybe this is more of an observation then a question, but I like to learn and get feedback, as I am planning on sharing Yah's Towrah teaching and instructions.


Abraham walked to God and came to trust and rely, making firm the covenant relationship with Yahowah as his Father. And as a model for Pesach, he was engaged in the covenant relationship and knew Yah would provide the sacrifice (Lamb) even though he was will willing to offer Isaac.

Question: in the family covenant relationship that Yahowah is seeking, does the following observation (about the Disciples, Pesach, Matsah, Bikurym, and 7 Sevens go toward showing that in the family covenant relationship) go to show that Yahowah really is doing the work of renewal, cleansing, and adoption leading to Yah's eternal Beyrith family covenant relationship?

The Disciples walked with Yahowsha when called, and Yah worked miracles through them. As I understand so far, walking along the Way includes carefully observing so as to understand, leading to an appropriate response, and being able to capitalize on Yah's offer at Pesach, Matsah, Bikurym, 7 Sevens, and continuing....

The Disciples just after celebrating Pesach fell asleep when Yahowsha asked them to stay alert. Daytime of Pesach, Shimown denied knowing Yahowsha 3x. Then the Disciples went into hiding (were "scattered"), except for Yahuchana who stood with the women at the Upright Pole. The rest were scattered, even though Yahowsha had explained to them He would be lifted up.

Bikurym (maybe they show a glimmer of understanding) the tomb is empty, then Yahowsha appears to them. As Matsah is celebrated for 7 / 8 days, Yahowsha appears a second time to the Disciples at 8 days (Yahuchanan 20:26). Maybe that's significant? Was Yahowsha celebrating Bikurym during those days for them, and for us? And during the remaining days Yahowsha further taught them. They listened and waited as instructed, and at 7 Sevens Yahowah empowered them to grow and share....

So it seems that they really didn't understand so as to capitalize, yet they listened, walked with Yahowsha (sort of for most of them, Yahuchanan seems to have listened the most since he was at the Upright Pole), and yet Yah still shows they benefited from Pesach, Matsah, and Bikurym, with further confirmation on 7 Sevens. The question is lengthy, and after thinking about if for 4 days, I just added the question in the previous paragraph, was Yahowsha celebrating Matsah for us?

P.S. whenever you need a break, and slack, that's understandable! And that gives listeners a chance to go over what we've learned and continue to get to know Yah!

Thank you,

B

B,

I understand the pretext for your question, but I'm not sure I understand your question. As for the pretext, your observations are consistent with what I recently observed with Abram. He initially listened to Yah and was willing to engage per Yah's requests, but he only understood a tiny fraction of what God was offering, not unlike the Disciples. While they know more today than we do, at the time these conversations were recorded, they knew less than we currently do.

And yet they would benefit from Yah's offer and work. They would grow by listening to Him, by observing, thinking, engaging, and trusting. So I see this as affirmation that we are on a similar path, the right path, an acceptable way to approach Yah. Our understanding is flawed and incomplete, and yet we are still beneficiaries of these marvelous Covenant promises. And just like Abram and Yahowchanan, the more we focus upon and listen to what Yah has revealed, the more we learn and grow.

This confirms many things. God does all of the work required for us to be with Him. Our only contribution is to be observant and responsive. God does not expect much from us initially. A little understanding will go a long way. And life with God is all about learning and growing, understanding more today than we knew yesterday. This is consistent with children benefiting from their parent's guidance.

One last thought. Abram and Yahowchanan had an advantage over us in that they lived and walked in the very presence of Yah. And yet we have an advantage over them in that we can study Yah's Towrah from the perspective their experiences provide. And that raises the question: is God more readily known and is His offer more easily understood in the Word or in the flesh? It is a question Yahowsha' seems to have answered several times, once bluntly. It is why I think it is easier for us to understand than it was for them.

Yada

Mr Winn (spelling), I listened to you on Dr Deagle's program and was quite frankly blown away at your perspective.
My understanding is you had become financially very successful and for whatever reason you chose to explore
the various religions of the world. I would assume if I read your material I would have a better understanding of
your deductions. Given the fact my mind was introduced to a whole new interpretation of religious beliefs, I have
a plethora of questions.

Are your beliefs and perceptions 'inspired', or a result of intellectual reasoning?

You mention the Bible, but no mention of Eastern religious philosophies and beliefs.
For example, Krishna Murti or Paramahansa Yogananda?

What about reincarnation? I have seen documented past life experiences.
I have personally experienced past lives.

There are those who believe in ET's. Some state god is an Et who created us.

And there is the Satan factor associated with God, is this a myth?

Is not everything a myth, an illusion?

Is the Torah, which you refer to, THE book? And how did the Torah come into
being and by whom? Who wrote the Torah?

Mr. Winn (spelling), I must note your interview was one the most mentally stimulating I
have had the pleasure of listening to in quite a while. Thank you for sharing.....

R

Thank you for listening Richard.

The perspective that I provided is not my own. It is Yahowah's. I have no beliefs, preferring to know and understand. My means to both is observation and reason. I have no interest in religion or in philosophy, eastern or western. In fact, I am anti-religious. I discount ET's based upon time and the nature of life. There is an Adversary. There is no reincarnation. Most things are myths, but not everything. Torah means teaching, and the only teacher I view as worthy is Yahowah. He authored the Torah.

Should you be interested in studying my treatise on Yahowah's Towrah, I'll send it to you via a Word attachment. But be forewarned, it is long and complex.

Lastly, in terms of a response to your position, while interesting, as a rule I do not consider personal revelations or personal experiences individuals claim to have encountered because there is no way to validate them and they take my attention away from that which is both verifiable and true. Time is limited, and I have found the greatest treasure in the universe.

Yada

Good morning Yada (yada ben Yahowah),

Just listening to today's BTR Yada Yah Show and heard you describe a 'proposed' Genesis Communication Network show entitled "Shattering Myths" as an alternative to the BTR format.

While it is tempting to have a syndicated show and a full time producer (unlike "dowg!) along with a share of the advertising revenues; is it a good idea to 'hitch our wagon' to a highly popular network with a large "christian" audience? The thought of commercial breaks in your daily Yada Yah shows appals me and anything that diverts from the news/scripture format is nowhere near as effective as a teaching tool.

On such a network you will be an easier target for the "christian" apologists and I fear that your show will be a constant barrage of vocal idiots calling in to aggressively promote "Pauline" doctrine. BTR has a chat room and you are able to block idiots and teach without interruption. We average an idiot a fortnight in the Chatroom and they are dealt with "off air" and in such a way that the error in the individual's perspective is highlighted and we learn from the experience.

Large and popular we will never be, nor should we attempt to be. If there are insurmountable problems with the BTR setup then by all means, pursue an alternative host. If there are software issues that are causing the Chatroom participants problems, perhaps Yow'el could make a suggestion to improve things.

In Yahowah's name my friend

dowd ben Yahowah

Hi Dowd,

If the current YY BTR show can't be mirrored on GCN then I won't do it. I just sent a letter to GCN's program director stating as much. So it will either be half news and commentary and half Towrah Teaching, or it will be a no go.

I'm told that the audience is mostly comprised of libertarians and conspiracy theorists, albeit there will always be lots of Christians in any talk show formatted audience.

I am told that GCN has similar chat rooms.

I'd prefer to take listener calls during the shows, but with Dowg as my only helper, that's just not feasible with BTR. So this could be a plus - a relevant teaching opportunity. But it could also be a minus if I have to spend too much time shutting down the nincompoops promoting Pauline Doctrine. We see this similarly, Dowd.

I suspect the advertising breaks would be minimal due to our content, and the revenue would be between slim and none. I am told, however, that GCN has much, much larger audiences than BTR. That said, Yah's not impressed with numbers nor am I.

And I rather like the current format where we can go wherever we are led. And when I need time off for family, I simply take it and no one complains. It is nice not being interrupted. That said, I receive lots of complaints over the BTR audio streaming, especially cutting off live listeners.

The deal I cut with Yah was that I would be willing to devote the time to studying, evaluating, and sharing. He's responsible for the rest, including generating the appropriate audience and guiding their response. So, in the past I've accepted, but not promoted, opportunities to share. That is all I'm doing here.

I do not think that this is going to happen, and I'm kinda hoping that it doesn't. I enjoy what we are doing together and don't want that to change. It is comfortable and fun. And I still think that I learn as much as anyone doing it.

I appreciate your willingness to share. You are a good friend, Dowd.

Yada

Ok, thank you for your time.

Is that the best response you can muster, Josh? "Ok." Are you so into beliefs that thinking isn't relevant? Do you routinely ignore answers which are incompatible with your faith?

Under such circumstances, why ask questions? The answer all too typically is religion. And that is why God hates it. I hope that you are not a victim.

Hopefully I'm wrong, and you're busy studying Yahowah's Towrah Teaching. I would love to have misjudged your attitude in this regard, and that of a few billion Christians and Muslims.

Rise to the occasion, Josh, and prove that what I've shared regarding your questions is inconsistent with Yahowah's teaching and testimony. Your soul is worth this investment of your time.

Knowing is so much better than faith. Understanding is vastly superior to believing. A relationship is better than religion. And nothing is more important than coming to know Yahowah and understanding His Covenant.

The book I gave you presents the 5 terms and conditions of Yahowah's Covenant relationship, and the 7 steps we are invited to walk to meet with God to be adopted by Him, all as they are presented in Yahowah's Towrah - Teaching. God, Himself, explains why the Trinity is a myth, why there is no Old Testament, and no New Testament. His answers are trustworthy.

Yada

To Yada or whomever helps with the e-mails,

Happy first day of the week :) I've been reading thru the website
and I just can't stop. I print out chapters to read while I'm
standing in line (I'm a "court runner")and walking around downtown
San Jose. Wow!! I've had some hard questions answered and so much
more makes sense now. (I always had difficulty with Paul btw.) It's
a lot to get thru, so please be patient with me as I ask questions.








I'd like to do my own study and have a NKJV and a KJV as well as
a Strong's "with Hebrew Chaldee and Greek Dictionaries". Your
posted list is somewhat prohibitive initially for someone of my
means. Could you pick out a few for a beginner to start with or
perhaps list in a rough order of helpfulness.? Or is it already
listed as such?







I had my first Shabbat yesterday and really had a hard time. Not
sure what to do, I tried to read but got really antsy - wanted to
straighten up, do laundry, crochet, etc. I did some reading and
took a nap, falling asleep to your radio archives. Then I had a
hard time getting to sleep last night lol! It was difficult for me
to figure out what I can and can't do on Shabbat. Online resources
were rather convoluted, inconsistent and seemingly "religous". Am I
really not supposed to have my tea hot in the morning as that's
"starting a fire" or working or something? I get the not cooking
thing. I cook from scratch so it is kinda like work. I made some
sandwiches Fiday before sundown and we had leftovers. Is it ok to
heat those up?. Am I not supposed to go anywhere? Or am I missing
the point entirely?






About me: I am a 41 year old married woman with a somewhat
"antiestablishment" christian background. I've known about the end
times since my father told me things as a child. It used to scare
the dickens out of me, but it didn't keep me from making sinful
choices and suffering their consequences. As a result, I have a
broken family and my children are clueless (big sob...good thing
this isn't paper)). A year or so after 9/11 I woke up as a result
of my hubby and dad recogizing the "false flag" that it was. I
became a little bit of a "prepper". Then watching/listening to the
alternative news, realized there is no way around or out except for
the one true God. So I started asking Him to show me the Way as it
just didn't seem like anyone had it figured out. I regulary
listened to GCN at work and at home and caught you in an archive of
Dr. Bill Daegle's show one morning while I was getting ready for
work. I looked up your site and became enthralled. I can't stop and
don't want to stop reading. My husband is freaking out. I told him
about Shabbat and no more bacon. I haven't told him about christmas
yet. He's going to have a conniption fit when I do. He has a very
weak christian background which may actually be a good thing in the
end :) He's never been a churchgoer - not that I really have
either. Just didn't smell right - never knew quite why! So any
encouragement would be sooooo appreciated as my extended family
probably thinks I've gone off the deep end into some cult (we have
cult experience in our family).






Also, about praying... So I get the amen/amein thing. Do I just
talk to Him pretty much like I always have? Does He hear? I've
heard His Voice is soft. I dunno. Sometimes I think I hear Him, but
it seems like it's just my brain getting all stupid and messy and I
just don't know... I soooooo want to hear His Voice!! So I often
pray a version of the prayer Yahowsha' gave us in Matthew though I
modify it a bit with verbage and names that I've learned from your
site.







There's more, but I have an appointment this morning with family
and have to go. I would like to correspond more in the future if
you don't mind.

Thank you for .... well thank you for your obedience and the work
that you are doing.
I look forward to hearing from you.

~M

Yada,
Can I ask you a favour please.
I need to verify the following translation of Ps. 40 v 6 which goes like this "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; but a body You have prepared for Me; burnt offering and sin offering You did not require".

The author comments on this verse as follows: "In Psalm 40:6 the Masoretic text (Psalm 40:7 in the Stone Edition) has purposely changed the phrase "a body you have prepared for me", as properly quoted again in Hebrews 10:5, and verified by the Dead Sea Scrolls. This verse speaks of a man who has a special body prepared for Him by YHWH, to come to earth because the scrolls of Torah testify of Him. Now if you were a counter-Yahshua missionary evangelist, you'd want this verse tampered with also. That is exactly what they did. They changed Psalm 40:6 to "you opened my ears."

Is this translation true? Namely "but a body You have prepared for Me".
I have no way of verifying this apart from asking you.
Be blessed.
Koos

Koos,

Sorry, but according to the DSS Bible, only the first line of the 40th Psalm is found among the Qumran scrolls, so the claim you have cited is not accurate. Also, in the MT, there is no mention of a body in the 5th, 6th, or 7th verse. This sounds like wishful religious garbage to me.

And speaking of smelling like garbage, Hebrews is rubbish, completely bogus, and so someone trying to authenticate it is wasting their time at best, and serving Satan at worst. Also, apart from Passover, Yahowsha' body was meaningless. It was destroyed that night, as well, negating the errant Christian concept of bodily resurrection.

So this is a journey away from the truth. Sorry.

That said, the Psalm itself is marvelous.

Yada

Hey Yada,

I love your Yada-Yahweh site and your work. My friend and I are living and working in South Korea. My friend, M, is actually a part-time preacher at a local Christian church. I turned him on to your site and now both of us are on fire with the information. I want to thank you for that.

I'm having a problem with the circumcision issue even though I happen to be circumcised. Having admitted to that, why would Yahweh craft our bodies one way and then ask us to mutilate it? This is where the whole thing seems to fall apart. I'm listening now to your blog-talk about the covenant so I understand your thinking and understand the genesis of it - it just seems inconsistent. Everything you talk about makes so much sense until you say that God doesn't let us into Heaven unless we're clipped. There has got to be a misunderstanding here somewhere.

I love the rest of it though,

Daniel

D,

Hello in SK.

Circumcision is hardly mutilation - especially when it is done per Yahowah's instructions on the eighth day. If you are not circumcised, blame your parents, not God.

I've attached the Introduction to God which explains why Yahowah chose circumcision as the sign of His covenant. It makes perfect sense.

There is no misunderstanding regarding the requirement of males being circumcised to engage in the Covenant, to benefit from Passover, and to enter heaven. While it does not save you, it will preclude your salvation. Yahowah makes this absolutely clear. And only He can enable these benefits.

Paul preyed on the notion that lots of people would be opposed to circumcision. His rejection of the Covenant, the Miqra'ey, and the Towrah were based upon his animosity towards it. So be careful here. It's fine to express you dismay privately, but only if you diligently seek answers from Him. And for that, you have to turn to His Towrah teaching - not to me.

The attached ITG will help you understand the Towrah which is why I've sent it to you. It therefore provides the answer to your question.

Yada

I'm surprised that a Christian can listen to this, especially a pastor. Most everything Yahowah said and did are opposed to his religion.

Yada

Hi Yada,

I would like to first say thank you so much for all the research and information you have provided over the years. I read whatever you've written whenever I can, but not everything such as the terrorist stuff. My primary mission is to "yada" Yahowah and I am keenly aware that you seem very close to right on most everything I've read (SF3). My secondary mission is to help those I love to find what I have found. There is of course that old addage about leading a horse to water....... Nevertheless, I'm sure that you have run into a certain amount of scepticism over the years and that the idea of having to admit you were wrong is frought with a fair amount of stress and fear that your credibility will be undermined. I know that you seem not to care what people think of you and that the only thing that matters is what Yahowah thinks. I agree. Still, having credibility does make your job a bit easier. At the same time, when you know you have been in error you naturally want to correct it as quickly as possible. Hence your opening remarks alluding to the name of our Father and His Son and His Son's title.





I know you either intend to or are in the midst of writing "An Introduction to God" and that much of what you need to address regarding the change in interpretation and/or pronunciation of His Shem will be taken care of there. My problem is probably just patience, however I am always trying to get people to read what you've written and so when they are new and have not read extensively of your many volumes, like I have and therefore find you very credible, having them read and be told they don't know God's name and that they should stop saying the many false ones that glorify the evil one unintendedly is a hard enough thing to convice people of and to actually force our minds to do. But then to have you with all of your expertise tell us in a very short paragraph that you've been wrong and that you'll get back to us on it is a little tough to deal with.



Me personally, well I just try to substitute Yahowah wherever I encounter Yahweh or God and Yahowsha wherever I encounter Yahushua or Jesus and Meyaseyah for Mesiah. What might be helpful is a guide in not only how to read your books while substituting the proper names for the errantly interpreted ones, but have you considered a guide on how to read a Bible?



I noticed you based much of what you've written on the KJV or some form of that, which actually shocked me considering what you said the good old King did and intended.



But I guess you have to start somewhere. My desire is to READ the Scriptures again. I find I cannot! I don't trust anything I read there. I only trust what you say it says. I do go back and forth and test to see that you are not misleading me (be like a Berean) but I just can't read the misinterpreted word that man has tried to kill my soul with. So I find myself reading yours over and over instead.




I wish I could read/speak Hebrew or whatever the Qumran Scrolls are written in. Or Greek and then I could try to look at some of that 1st century writing that predates Constantine. I'm sure I'm not the first person to mention any of this. But how am I supposed to read God's word now? Wait for you to write more?



What about when you disappear again? I mean no ill, but you have put yourself in a position where you say that its all there in the Torah, Prophets and Psalms, and some of the Not Yet Renewed Covenent, (but nothing that Paul wrote, which is most of it) but that every single version that I've seen is corrupted. So what am I to do for daily reading? How do I share with others?



Best regards,

M (Ris my Red Lab and best friend, not to mention an angel that I'm sure Yahowah sent my way)

Hi Yada,

Thank you so much for your quick response. There is a lot there to consume, which is what I crave. I'm sorry to hear about Ken. I am not 100% sure what to make of Paul, as I didn't complete your tome on him. I have felt for a long time that he was questionable, but I was very afraid that you were being misled in going after him so completely and it made it hard to read so much of what you (guys) wrote to think that I was reading something that you would later disparage in some way, so I put that section down and ignored what I knew you would later say and focused on your first stuff where I got to know Yah. I have no regrets! I loved all of it and am thrilled to my core to have finally found what I could never find in Church or the Bible or from any "religion" or...... I am certain the Spirit was pulling me this way from a long time ago. I tried a lot of "churches" and Bibles.



I am aware of the radio show, and occasionally can catch it, but it falls during the middle of the work day so besides working through lunch often, when I don't, I'm usually reading your stuff. I have downloaded it to every device I have from PC to Laptop to Nook Book and I get it live on my Cell when I must resort to that. I live a very busy life with my wife (today is our 29th Anniversary) and our dogs and Children and Grands.



We travel rarely, but I am working on the house and garden and yard (when God sends rain) all the time. I am otherwise so consumed by reading what you write or others you recommend, from Griffin to Quigly that I even canceled my Daily Newspaper and got rid of Cable. Thank you very much!



So you've given me more and all I ask is that you pray for me that I may find a closer relationship with Him! I've beaten Cancer twice and much more and I know He has a purpose for me in this life. But it's even better to know that my purpose in the next is not to bow down and say "alah" and all the other crud, but that He just wants to be my Father and friend!

I will listen in when I can.

I wish you nothing but the best. Thank you for listening to Yahowah and spreading His true meaning.

All of His Blessings!



Sincerely,

M

Dear Yada ben Yahowah (Yada),

Just a note to wish you all the best as you begin the mission of 'Shattering Myths on the GCN network. On a related matter, I read the article from Tim King of Salem news and am not surprised. As a secular humanist he is clueless and that is putting it politely. My guess is that you will meet many more 'Tim King' types on GCN than you ever experienced at Blogtalk Radio and that may well make your debut a rather unpleasant one. Many will seek to have you removed from the lineup and time will tell if the GCN Executives can stand the heat.



Tim King's response is typical of the humanist with being judgemental the ultimate sin. He claims to have written to you asking only questions. In actual fact his first letter to you was full of personal insults and put downs. Every statement he uttered was woven with falsehoods while his reference to low brow is farcical. He has a large audience and will use it to slander your efforts. In that regard he is best described as a tool of ha Satan, wittingly or unwittingly.




If GCN is the host of the Fox News egomaniacs like Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity and Beck; we are in for a rocky ride. Speak the Truth boldly and bluntly. Don't change your confrontational style. The Ma'aseyah Yahowsha' used the same approach when confronting 'awon so you are in good company.



We must always focus on the souls who will hear Yahowah's Towrah mitswah, mishpat and choq for the first time and will become members of Yahowah's Covenant family as a result of listening to a GCN Shattering Myths Radio Show. The Tim King's of this world are a distraction, nothing more. If only one person comes to know, understand, trust and rely on Yahowah and His Towrah then it will have been worth the effort. That is surely true when we realise that Yahowah created the Universe and all that is in it so that mere thousands, out of billions of souls, would choose of their own volition, to become recipients of His chesed.

That is why I accepted this opportunity. In the guest appearance I did a month ago on GCN, a dozen people have responded, having written long letters and have begun reading the ITG. So, if we develop 1000 new enemies, but add one member to the family in the process, then the mission, no matter how short or bitter, will be worth engaging in.




I look forward to beginning with the Re'syth volume of Yada Yah on Monday morning. This volume surely shatters some of Christianity's myths regarding creation and the flood.

May Yahowah bless your efforts to reveal His Truths Yada

Your friend and brother

Is it possible to interpret the following as "God is One, there is nothing other than (or separate or apart from) God ? ..... ein od milvado

This would be similar to the Advaita Vedanta view "Everyting is Brahman (God) ....


"That they may know from the rising (mizrach - place of sunrise, east) and setting (ma’arab - place of sunset, west) sun (shemesh), that there is in the end nothing (‘epes - everything ultimately ceases) apart from Yahuweh. There is no other. (Isaiah 45:6) Everything ceases to exist without the One who caused everything to exist. I suppose that’s why His name means "I Exist.

I am reading a good book by Jay Michaelson called `Everything is God - the radical Path of Non-Dual Judaism`

http://www.luke1721.info...god-radical-path-of.html


Thanks,
R

R,

Absolutely not. I would not say that "there is in the end nothing apart form Yahowah" is similar to "Everything is Brahman?" Brahman isn't Yahowah. The Advaita Vedanta isn't the Towrah. Knowing that there is just one God is only valuable if you know who that one God is. And knowing Yahowah is only valuable if you know how to engage in a relationship with Him.

According to Yahowah a god by any other name isn't god. According to Yahowah, all religions are false, including "the radical path of non-dual judaism."

Everything is not God.

What Yahowah is saying here is that without Him, you will cease to exist, as will the universe. So while Yah created the universe, He isn't the universe.

I have attached An Introduction to God for your consideration. If you read it, stay in touch.

You are searching, and that is good. But you won't find God in religious books.

Yada

Ok Thank you - your "Introduction to God" is excellent.

I have also studied the proto-Sinaitic (proto-aramaic) pictographs of the letters yud-heh-vav-heh, hand-behold-nail-behold

I was raised catholic but have learned that my ancient ancestors were ancient Jewish (Aramaic) converting to catholic (Converso/Crypto) in 1200's

I am very open mined and want to learn everything I can about YHWH.


Thanks Yada, I'll keep reading .....

R,

You remind me of my good friend and webmaster. He was raised a Catholic, but hated their hypocrisy. They were always unable to answer his questions. So he became an atheist. But he came to realize that it required too much faith. So he became a thinking agnostic. His father is Jewish.

As I was just starting to write Yada Yah (www.YadaYah.com), he and I invested countless hours disassociating Yahowah from religion, careful to consider what He actually had to say about Himself. Through this process, he came to know, understand, and embrace Yahowah on His terms. He may now know Yahowah better than I do. He had less to unlearn. And frankly, he's smarter than I am which helps.

He was also fascinated by the pictographs of Paleo Hebrew. The reveal so much to us that we would otherwise miss.

I sense that you are devoted to seeking Yahowah with an open mind. So you will be rewarded.

Please stay in touch.

Yada

Yes, my family and "religious" mix is a little complicated......

My mother is Metis (Ojibwe/ Native American) so I have a Spiritual / pantheist influence....

And the Jewish roots was a bit of a surprise. I was doing some family Tree research on my Dad's Family name since he said his great grandfather (Southern Italy) was adopted. I couldn't go beyond the 1800's, so I ordered a Y-DNA Test from National Geographic Genographic Project for $99 .... the results came back as E1b1b1-a1b, same Haplogroup as Albert Einstein, and Samaritan Cohen .... I was surprised. I also had an exact match to the Saenz Family in Spain (Sephardic). I never heard the Borghese Family could be Jewish so I typed into Google "Borghese Jewish" and found the following Geneological reserach from Guy Stair Sainty : http://chivalricorders.org/nobility/nobjews.htm

..... which states the Borghese/Aldobrandini/Torlonia Family was ancient jewish converting to Catholic 800 years ago. This is interesting since Pope Paul V was Camillo Borghese, and is the Pope that Financed and completed construction of St Peters (The Vatican) in 1600's - Thought this was very strange but found a few articles including the Menorah Journal that stated Pope Paul V (Borghese) was one of six jewish popes. (Converso / Crypto)

Anyway, all this to say I became interested in Torah and jewish holy-days and history.

I'm an Architect, painter and Project Manager in real life ...

R,

Hopefully, over time, you'll begin to see Yah apart from religion and race. But so long as a curiosity over these things is prompting you to consider His Towrah, that is a good thing.

There is no such thing as "Jewish holy-days." The Feasts are Yahowah's and they are for all of us to meet Him.

Yada

Dear Yada ben Yahowah / Hi Yada,

What a relief the 'imperfect conjugation' has meant to a flawed individual like myself when considering the Three Statements and Seven Instructions Yahowah etched in stone with His own hand. I immediately thought of King Dowd's many flaws with the imperfect conjugation of these Instructions reinforcing the Family nature of the Covenant whereby Dowd, and we by our willing participation in the Covenant and its 5 requirements, are immortalised, perfected, adopted, enriched and empowered as sons and daughters of Yah, with Yah as our Father.



As our Father, He wants the best for us (His Covenant family), and while it is obvious He doesn't expect much, He is not waiting for us to make a mistake so as to punish us. As a Father, he allows us to make mistakes, knowing full well we will make them; yet as long as we turn around and do not make the mistakes habitual, we are not excluded from His Familial Covenant Relationship. That explains how Dowd could be a rascal in life yet still be adored by Yahowah as His favourite son. The relief is almost palpable. It takes all the pressure off us and we can now engage Yahowah on a very personal level as our Father.



While thankful for the 'imperfect conjugation', I am curious to know and understand what the conjugations, moods and stems look like in written form. How do you recognise them in a Hebrew passage? What form do they take so that we may recognise them in in our translations?



The Sabbath show, 'The Way', began with you discussing Yahowah taking Abraham to a Set-Apart place and there, looking up at the stars relating the Covenant promises to Abraham to be immortalised, perfected, adopted,enriched and empowered, to the immortal nature of light emanating from the stars. Abraham understood what Yahowah was showing him.



It amazes me that "Christians" cling to their caricature of "JC" when careful observation of the eye witness accounts would show them the changed nature of their "LORD" on First Fruits rendering the Pauline claim of bodily resurrection entirely false to any rational individual. Out of interest in this changed nature, I was researching 'E= mc2' last week and found this formula describing the reduction in energy required to convert light energy back into matter. If E=mc2
then M=e/c2



On matters GCN, I am enjoying the archived shows. I participated in the Skype family discussion during the first 3 shows and listened along with the family. The 2am starts proved too difficult to sustain so it will be every now and again that I listen live. Traction with a listening audience other than those migrating from BTR will take time but word will spread and callers will come. Either way you are where you need to be.




The Sabbath show was a wonderful respite from ads into a format where you are more comfortable. You are comfortable because your listening family are familiar with and understand subjects of a more advanced nature than you could possibly share on the GCN network at this early stage. I want to thank you for making the time to prepare a BTR radio show for the Sabbath.

May Yahowah bless your GCN efforts Yada,

Dowd ben Yahowah

Dear Brother,

I have had us ladies change course from the beginning of ITG to Passover/Unleavened Bread/First Fruits and then plan on moving forward through the rest of the Feast/Meetings you have written out. We have run into question's and looking for clarity and what ever house cleaning may be needed as to old "Christian" understandings.



Scripture (Torah) and your writings tell us to keep the Feast's and to meet with God. Yet Scripture seams to also say how say Passover is to be done from the unblemished lamb/herbs and blood on the door post to God choosing where, when and how to meet and once in the "Land", to meet at the Temple in Jerusalem where he has HIS name ONLY!



Well of course most of us couldn't do any of these things now so. Is it that Yahowsha was the last and only required lamb, we are now the Temple and being followers of the Way/Torah we have His Name? Therefore we do Passover as in Remembrance. The other feast in honor and in anticipation to there completion and where we meet with Yahowah (two or three gathered in his name) Shabbat, High Shabbat, etc,. to recite, observe, study, trust and rely on His blessing and empowerment.


Are we to be baptized and can women do this (baptize) each other? One of the ladies this last meeting made a comment (she was fishing for answer as to if she has sinned). She said: " I sinned this morning, I had a piece of toast". I let it slide for the moment because I am not clear on those things either. I feel many times things are NO longer to be taken so literally, but more in a Spiritual since. To understand what Unleavened Bread represents is more important than if you ate toast, our made your bed, or dumped the trash on Sabbath. I sure miss my BLT's. hee, hee.




Then again, God killed people for doing those things??? How can we KNOW what applies now? Yahowsha said it was important what came out of, not what went into, but then He was a Jew and had no ? about his diet, etc. Seams such a small thing yet dose ones soul's destiny hinges on these?



There another thing that seams to be happening to me that has me in tears. It is hard to put into words, in some way I feel removed from the connection to "Family and Friends" now that I have shared (in some cases more than the second mile so to speak) my discoveries on pagan christianity etc,. And my growing love for Yah and His Torah, I seam to have less patients with them and It feels kind of like shaking the dust from my sandals, though walking away with a heavy heart and tears. I don't feel the urgency like I used to have as a christian to "get them saved", only the love/duty to share. Yet when I feel prompted or see an opportunity to share with anyone family or stranger, I have been fearless. Is this normal or is the enemy playing with my head?



Tell us, what about prayer? If there is no Obey then what word belongs in it's place because it is in the Scriptures a lot? What about worship as well?



I want to add them and songs to our Sabbath Meetings, is that OK with Father, David sang and wrote song's of love and praise, his prayers were they prayers that ended in yah's name or conversations as I now have with Father??



P.S. I really enjoy your Friday evening program! I listen to Genesis but do like this one the best, thank you. I us it as homework for our group, its hard sometime with these ladies (children). ooooo

Thank you,
LRK
