Church History - What Happened?

Part One

 

"The Church ... What Happened"?

Shabbat Shalom everyone. This is Teddy Wilson with Seekers of Yahweh Ministries and welcome to another Friday night live of Restoring the Hebrew Mind. Tonight we're going to be broadcasting, of course.

We're not back at the assembly, but I'm in Spokane, Washington and helping take care of one of the brothers who had surgery today. We thank you for all your prayers. Tonight we have a very, very important study set up.

We're going to be resuming our study on the book of Yaakob, or James, next Friday, Yahweh willing, on the program, but we've had several things come up over the past several days concerning the church. Now, before we even get started this evening, I was in the church. I was actually ordained as an elder in the United Pentecostal or a pastor, and I was also a youth minister in the UPC or Apostolic Assemblies, and so I too clung to this title that I used to refer to myself as as Christian.

Now, so what I want to do right away is I want to make a disclaimer. I don't refer to myself as a Christian any longer, and many of the people that are in the true faith don't want to refer to themselves as a Christian either. Now, I found that that was one of the hardest things for me to get over, is when I would read material that spoke against Christianity.

I immediately would put up my defense system as a believer, and it would not allow me to receive the truth if it would have just jumped up and bit me, because I put up that defense system because I read or heard something that somebody said against Christianity, but there came a time when I realized that that was very prideful of me. I even feel more like it was hypocritical at times, because it was coming from people who weren't in the Sacred Name Assemblies or were observant or any of that either. It could have been an atheist or an agnostic or whatever.

So what really seems to stir the pot with people is whenever you bring up the term Christian or Christianity, because immediately that makes somebody feel like we're attacking them, and I want to say this right from the very beginning. I love, and the majority of the men that I work with in this ministry love, Christians. Okay, it's the dogma and the teaching and the roots of Christianity that are problematic, and what we're going to do this evening is we're going to systematically look.

First, we're going to go to Scripture, because that's the most important part. Okay, there is something that YAH has pointed us to throughout time that is very, very critical for us to not only acknowledge, but to even see the truth of YAH's Word, because if we just go to church and we sit down in the pew, sit down and just listen to a sermon and some people sing for a while, actually, that's not what Yahweh had in mind, and that English word church comes from the Greek word Ecclesia, and church has overwhelmingly destroyed even the Greek meaning of church, okay? I am a Yahwists, which means, there's a definition of that in most of your English dictionaries. I believe in Almighty Yahweh.

There has been a discrepancy in understanding the truth about how to pronounce YHWH. Some say Jehovah, Yehovah, Yahuwah, but I would submit that any three-syllable pronunciation anciently is an impossibility, and but that's not what this is about. I just want to share with you my background before we get into this, because I am not out to bash Christians, bash Christians.

What I'm out to do is bring the revelation to Christianity that was also revealed to me. These are the things that we need to focus on, and that's because I know that if you're not watching live right now, we're going to have several people that are Christians. I've received a couple of emails from some of you, and I know you're either going to watch or you're watching now, and I want you to understand something.

I care about you. I care about Yah's creation. I'm very, very focused on Yahweh's people being cleansed, justified, and sanctified, and keeping themselves spotless from sin.

That is why I am so adamant about what I do and so passionate about what I do. I want to see everyone make it to the kingdom of Almighty Yah. Okay, so those of you that will be watching over there in the YouTube chat section, feel free to ask questions, and we'll get back to them as soon as possible, but again, I wanted to find Teddy Wilson and the majority of the people that I am associated with.

We are Yahweh's. Okay, we are those who worship Yahweh, the Mighty One of Yisrael, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I believe in the Messiah coming from the Hebrew word Mashiach. Okay, and what I want to ultimately try to get to this evening is show you that the word Christos or Christ has had nothing to do with the etymological connection, as in transliterating Mashiach into English comes out Messiah.

So when they translate or transliterate Mashiach into the Greek, it does not transliterate to Christos. Okay, so I want to get to the root of these things, but first I want to cover the church. What happened? How did it, where is its origins, and at the same time, if there's something that you want to, if you feel like there's been something missing, that's what I'm trying to say.

This is probably one of the most important teachings that you will ever see in your walk with our redemption, because I'm going to be reading out of history books. We're gonna chase down the history and see what the history says. I have the Encyclopedia Britannica, an older version.

Actually, it was so old that I had a sticky note there, and it tore off or actually pulled the print off of part of this stuff I'm gonna read, so there's gonna be a couple of words there that I am missing, and I do apologize for that. Thank you guys, halleluYah. But we're going to read the history of it.

Now, what's so important about that is the majority of people who compiled all the historic information really don't give a hoot about what we believe. They just produced the history, the evidence, how it all happened, and there's only a few different versions, but they all basically say the same thing in the majority, all right, so I'm going to be reading out of that. Some other things are going to be pulling up and screen-sharing with you.

I have a translation. Brother Jodell had given me this book a while back. It is, as you can see there, the Epistle of Yaakobar James, a translation from the Hebrew.

There's some very important stuff. I'm gonna read out the forward in this book as well, but again, we're going to be looking at these things from a historical point of view, not only scriptural, because one thing that I said in the past, and I want to reiterate this evening before we get into this, and it's very important. Judaism is not going to produce history that contradicts Judaism's agenda.

Okay, this is, you know, just a rule of thumb. Neither will Christianity produce historical information that disproves or contradicts the church or its existence or where it came from. That is just a rule of thumb.

So you can't prove Judaism, for instance, with researching only Jewish history. That doesn't prove a thing. And the same way, if you're only going to study or get your information from Christian pastors or scholars who are believers themselves, that's, that doesn't prove Christianity is the origin of the believers in the one who actually died for us.

That proves nothing. What we need is to gather together just a whole group and different, from different areas throughout history that proves what is true and what is tradition. Truth or tradition is the focus for this evening's study, and I want to help you guys in doing that.

Many people that have been in the church scene for very long, a long time, you guys know what I'm speaking about. It becomes this residual thing, you know, it's like you already know what's going to happen when you get to church. They're going to get up there, somebody's going to testify, and then somebody may sing some hymnals, and the choir might, you know, do this and that, and everybody, halleluYah, praise JC, and they're going to pass around the plate once, maybe twice, and and then you're going to hear a little bit of the word from a philosophical Greek standpoint of your English-speaking pastor.

Now, I'm not speaking bad about pastors. I am only addressing everyone the roots and origins of the church tonight. I'm not trying to disprove what you believe in your heart, and another thing I want to point out prior to launching into this, because we're going to start out with scripture, so everybody's on the same page, get your, and it's going to be from a Hebrew perspective, because the Hebrew people wrote the book originally.

They wrote it, so if we don't understand what they were thinking and their lifestyles when they wrote, and what they wrote in what language, that's important as well. If we don't understand that, then there's very little hope for YAH revealing these treasures, as we're going to see spoken about these treasures all throughout time. We see the types of words used in the law and the prophets about a land flowing with milk and honey, searching for things as if they were hidden treasures.

Okay, so that's where we're going to begin. But please understand, if you call yourself a Christian at this point in your life, amen. Okay, that's what you believe yourself to be.

What I am going to present this evening, in no way, shape, or form will change your aspect on there being a Savior, that there was a Redeemer, and that you love Him, and that you want Him in your life, and you want to, this changes none of that. What it's actually going to do is add a very serious group of proofs and facts to the one who you're trying to serve. It's going to produce enough information to where you can redirect your thoughts, and your heart, and your mind, and your very soul to the one who gave up everything so that you could live again.

This changes none of that. Actually, it's going to reveal some things about certain names, certain titles, but it's not about the name. Believe me, it's about the history.

But in the history, it's going to show you it's not even anything that Teddy Wilson is going to have to, you know, like throw out there unexpectedly. The proof is in the pudding, folks. And I can tell you, when I sat for three years educating myself in the history of the church from Catholicism, Lutheranism, to Protestantism, all the way down to what you ism see today, okay, it has deteriorated because the foundation of it is not what YAH had in mind.

That's why there's 40,000 some-odd denominations. You know how many group of YAHWISTS I know? Just the YAHWISTS. And even though all YAHWISTS do not believe the same, we all are called an assembly of Yahweh or an assembly of Yahshua, His redemption.

That doesn't change. There's not a thousand different factions of the system of YAHWISTS that's been established here, stemming from all the way back in Christianity, as a matter of fact, is what I believe in now has stemmed from Christians that came out and said, wait a minute, something's wrong. Why can we not get on the same page? Why is there so many different denominations in Christianity? It's because Christianity was actually formed in order to pacify all these people in the nations, no matter what they had believed before they came into the church in the very beginning.

It was fashioned that way. When the true believers were told, you must repent and be baptized and turn and keep the ways of the word, which is Yahweh's will. This is the difference.

And we want to see where all of this took place, how it happened is very important. Okay, so before we start, remember, this doesn't change a thing about you believing in a savior, but what it's going to do is take that thing that you believe is salvation and it's going to amplify it. We're about to see the essence and nature of YAH in an embodiment of people, an assemblage of people.

That's what's missing in denominationalism. And where has denomination stemmed from? The original church, Catholicism. Okay, we're going to read some history and please don't let this offend you.

Open up your mind and your heart and go, you know what? This is what I believe and I believe that this is what I've been taught by the priest or the pastor or the minister or whatever. This is what I believe at this point, but I am willing, if it does, if there is some information that is produced here this evening, that I am willing for the sake of my soul, forget everybody else, for the sake of my soul, if there's something here, you, who I believe in, that died for me, I believe in you, show me if there's something that I need to add to or take away from or a whole bunch of both. It must be your passion to open up your heart and your mind to understand what this book is all about.

It's one thing to know the Bible. It's another thing to know the Bible and its author and the authors that he sent to bring us the messages. This is huge because when a messenger is not sent of YAH and he has a political motivation that through the medieval times, that's what it was all about, and the early crusades prove it, they killed people that would not come to the church.

Ask yourself this, is that of YAH? Because that's where all of this stuff came from. Including the first century believers, they were martyred in a way. Okay, the Christian martyrs were not my church fathers.

All of my church fathers of the assembly of YAH in the first century were massacred. The reason why the group of people that is called church fathers today, the reason why they're called church fathers or the ones that were martyred, they were martyred for Christianity actually because they were rebelling against the original church, which was not a formed group of people until approximately 180 to 225 and confirmed in 325 AD when Constantine started setting rules at the council of Nicaea. This is our faith.

This is the one we worship. That's where the name was changed from Yahshua and Yahweh to Christos Jesus, which is now Jesus Christ. It's all right there in history.

This is not hidden. No, it is hidden, but it's in plain sight. Okay.

It's in plain sight. So that's what we're going to delve into this evening. And if you truly love the one who died for you was beat beyond recognition almost, spat on, had his beard ripped out before he went to the stake and died for us, if you truly love him then you will open up your heart and ask him to show you what is true.

Let's let the history and the scriptures line up together this evening so that we can understand what we're supposed to doing, who we're supposed to be worshiping because we don't want to be involved in any idolatry. All of us know that if you're an idolater, you don't inherit the kingdom of Yah. So before we bring in here is our contact information.

There's our email address and there is our phone number. Feel free to contact us with comments or questions. And if any of you speak modern Hebrew and you hear me say something about Hebrew that doesn't seem like it fits right, well, that's because I am studying ancient Hebrew and their definition and its definitions opposed to modern Hellenized, Grecianized definitions in many cases, not all the time.

Okay. So let's go ahead and pray in and we'll get started. Father Yahweh, we just come before you this evening and we lift up your holy name, your set-apart name, and we would ask that every word here this evening would be spoken on behalf of your purpose and your will for our lives.

Father, show us, open up our minds and our hearts to just seek your truth. That's all that matters. Everything else is something that could possibly deceive us, for the scripture says that the whole world has been deceived in Revelation 12.

Father, let us not be deceived, but let us overcome the temptations of the wicked one, the deception of the wicked one, so that we, your people out here in the nations, can seek to be gathered by you at your coming. Open up our hearts and our minds. Father, let your word this evening touch the souls of everyone who hears.

And we ask for divine revelation. Father, I pray that you would anoint my lips, let my thoughts be put aside, and I pray that you would bring to remembrance everything that you wish for me to speak in the ears of your sheep. Father, we bless you.

We Baruch you. We ask that the barakot of your MalchiYah would set in among us. Ultimately, that that is the goal for all of us here on this earth, is that we might be redeemed, that we might be saved, that we might be called or allowed to come into your kingdom.

Blessed be the name of Yahweh. halleluYah. Okay.

So what I want to do, everybody grab your scriptures. No matter what version you've got, it's basically going to read the same or at least say the same thing in most instances. Okay.

So here's what we're doing. Here's the purpose behind all of this. There is half a dozen people over the past, again, several days have contacted me over the same thing.

So I'm going to set aside Yaakob for a moment, that series, and we'll pick that up next week. And let's dive into the things pertaining to the church and how it all happened. Okay.

So first I'm going to turn to Proverbs. In Hebrew, that's going to be Mishle. Chapter two.

Sorry about the lighting and everything. It's not the... You would think for the price of the room, it would be a little better than this, the lighting. Proverbs 2:1-8 chapter two, we're going to be reading verses one through eight.

So what we're going to do is establish by the word of Yah what he is directing it. Now remember when the book of Proverbs was written, Israel was in pretty much right standing at that time, even though there were some things that were going on that were wrong in the kingdom, that Israel was in the land. So that's very important, the timing here that this was written.

And look at what the son of Dawid or David was led to write by the inspiration of the breath of Yah. He says, my son, chapter two, beginning of verse one. If you accept my words, please hear what the breath, the spirit of Yah speaks through Solomon.

Listen to this. My son, if you accept my words and treasure up my commands within you, so that you make your ear attend to wisdom. So where is wisdom found? What word existed in the days of Solomon? Some of the prophet's writings and the law of Moses.

This is where we find wisdom. This wasn't written to the Jews. Okay, that is a that's a fallacy.

Okay, Abraham wasn't a Jew. There was no such thing as a Jew until the captivities. Easily proven.

So it says to treasure up. So it's talking about a treasure here. Treasure up my commands within you so that you make your ear attend to wisdom.

Incline your heart to understanding. For if you cry for discernment. So this word that is being spoken about here by one of the most wise men that ever lived, even though he made some mistakes.

He was filled of wisdom with wisdom and that wisdom was the understanding that he gained from YAH. And it gave him discernment. Lift up your voice for understanding.

Help us to understand great king. Help us to is it about truth or tradition this evening? Look at this in verse four. If you seek her.

Wait a minute. What has the church taught us? About that in and of itself. If you seek her.

Well, I thought I was lost but now I'm found. Takes precedence over that. Everyone has strayed and are lost sheep out here in the nations.

That's what that's referring to. It's not talking about when I came to the church. I was lost but I was found.

The whole creation is lost until it is re-established at the return of Moshiach. And at the end of the thousand year millennial reign the totality of the restoration of all things. Okay.

If you seek her as silver. Okay, you guys out there that are saving up to do whatever. Buy a big or even a little chunk of property with a cabin on it.

Or get a new truck. You want to lift kid on it. Want a nice ride.

Want a nice ride and all of that. And or women, you know you that like shopping or or expensive hats or shoes or whatever it may be. Do you know that you will seek around for the best buy until you fall asleep in your chair in front of the computer.

You guys know what I'm talking about. You're going to search high and low to get that fancy new thing that you want to have at the lowest price that you can get it. You will spend hours throughout the day trying to find what is in that you want in your life that YAH may not want you to have.

It's irrelevant. Unless you have done this. We must seek her, speaking of wisdom, discernment, understanding.

Coming from the commands. You treasure up the commands and that's where that stems from. When you treasure up the commands within you, then it creates a passion and a desire.

And this is promised by the father if you do that. If you seek her as silver and search for her as hidden treasure. Then you would understand the fear of Yahweh until that until you work just as hard or harder to gain the hidden treasures of the kingdom of YAH within you.

Then you can chase stuff all your life and when you go you're gone. Nothing that you've acquired in this life is going anywhere with you unless you've treasured up the commandments of YAH within your heart. It is wisdom.

It is understanding and that is what gives you discernment. Okay. Now I'm talking about these hidden treasures that we've lost throughout time.

As we're going to see we're going to see what caused us to lose the sight of the hidden treasure that YAH has put us on in search for. If you seek her as silver and search for her as hidden treasures, then you would understand the fear of Yahweh. It's got to be your number one goal and find the knowledge of Elohim to know Him to be intimate with Him.

You must understand the scriptures. Not what your pastor says about it. Not what I tell you about it.

But everything must be centered on Genesis to Revelation. Revelation. That is word.

Not just part of it here for those people and part of it there for somebody else. That is not what YAH had in mind. Do you suppose that Yahweh in His infinite wisdom in His understanding of all things would have confused us by saying well this part of the book is for them.

You guys don't have to worry about that. This part of the book is just for you and that was for the Jews. He's trying to raise up a people folks.

A nation. And it was not replaced by the church. That is a false doctrine.

Replacement theology of the church is this. As we're going to see. Now, please everybody don't, don't get your feathers ruffled, but I'm going to say something that is very, very important.

Listen, let's go ahead and wait. No, I want to read the history first, but then I'll make this statement. That way we read the history first.

And so it's not coming from Teddy Wilson first. Let's do that. Because I don't want somebody to get angry with me and click off because there's many people that are going to see this that need to hear this message.

Okay, and it's not coming from my thoughts or my intentions. My intention again is to reveal the truth concerning the savior of the world to you guys. It says in verse five again, then you would understand the fear of Yahweh and find the knowledge of Elohim for Yahweh gives wisdom.

Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. So are we to believe that once we got into the New Testament that we could no longer find wisdom and understanding in that old thing that was just for the Jews? Well, we go to the Psalms to find wisdom understanding and comfort and direction all the time. Was that written for the Jews? Absolutely not.

Verse seven says, and he treasures up stability for the straight. And that word straight comes from the Hebrew word tzaddik and it means righteous. All right.

Yahweh's coming back for the righteous who have stored up his word in their hearts that they sin not against him and have been cleansed by the blood of his redemption Yahshua HaMashiach. But that's what's happened to church goers is they don't see the blessings that stem from that stuff in the Old Testament. Lead us father.

Stability for the tzaddik, a shield to those walking blamelessly, to watch over the paths, the ways, if you will, of judgment or right ruling and the way of his kind ones he guards. So here we see that Yah's word, speaking about the Old Testament, is what gives wisdom, discernment, and understanding and that will lead you if you search for it to hidden treasures. Now, so this was written at a time when everybody was basically safe in the kingdom.

There were a few things going on, but Solomon was a very wise man in leading the nation into a lot of fruitful years during his reign. Now we go to Isaiah. Stuff started happening.

The obedience to the word starts going away. So the prophets, the messengers of Yah, go back and say, hey, remember the covenant? He sends them. Hey, you guys are messing up.

You're about to be cursed. You're not seeking the wisdom of Yah and considering it a hidden treasure. And I submit to you that that word and those commandments are the hidden treasure that allowed them to stay in the land.

Do you understand? Now they're about to be thrown out of that kingdom where there are hidden treasures. And Isaiah chapter 45 has something to say about this. Isaiah 45 3-9.

First, we're going to be reading verses three through nine. And I shall give you the treasures of darkness and hoarded wealth of secrets so that you know that I, Yahweh, who are calling you by your name, am the Elohim of Yisrael. For the sake of Jacob, of Ya'aqob, my servant and of Yisrael, my chosen, I also call you by your name.

I give you a title though you have not known me. You're no longer being intimate with him. Speaking of a time of separation.

I am Yahweh and there is none else. Yeah, there is none else. There is no Elohim beside me.

I gird you though you have not known me so that they know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none but me. I am Yahweh and there is none else. Forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil.

I, Yahweh, do all of these. Rain down, O heavens, from above and let clouds pour down righteousness. Let the earth, open and let them bring forth deliverance.

See, this is talking about a time of deliverance because they were being rebuked for their wicked ways in the kingdom and Yahweh was about to kick them out. They were about to go away into bondage. Let them bring forth deliverance and let righteousness spring up together.

I, Yahweh, have created it. Verse 9. Woe to him who strives with his maker. Okay, so this is very important.

Now we see that he's projecting a time that these treasures would once again be sought by his people and he's letting them understand you're messing with the creator of all things. Okay, I am the creator of all living things and if you want those treasures that are found in the land they can only be sought by you treasuring up my word in your heart. King David understood these things.

All of the Hebrew writers, Hebrew people understood this. It's not a philosophy, but this understanding. They had that understanding.

They had that wisdom. It was common knowledge amongst the people of Yah. Now, let's go into the New Testament so that we see that this treasure is not something that was just conjured up for the Jews.

Okay. Oh, halleluYah. Matthew chapter 6. Oh, the depth and the richness in the treasures of Yah's word.

See, this doesn't take philosophy. It doesn't take theologians, theology, church history or the doctrines of different churches in order to make us see these things. We just went from the Old Testament to the New showing that the land is where the hidden treasures are.

We've been thrown out of that land. So what do we have to do now? We have to seek this stuff as if it were a hidden treasure to get back to the place where the treasures of Yah or the rewards of Yah or the blessings of Yah actually were directed from the very beginning. Matthew 6:19-21.

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. You see what he's telling you? You people came from a place where the treasure was in the kingdom. And what happened? The land was taken from you.

It was destroyed. Think Hebraically. Their whole the majority of those people's prayers in those days was that the kingdom of Yah would be re-established at the coming of Yahshua.

And listen at what Yahshua tells them. Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth. Why is He saying that? Because no one Israelite or somebody who converts to following the commandments through Yahshua, regardless of your ethnicity, okay, no one until the resurrection of the dead or His coming, if you're alive, will go back into that kingdom.

And that kingdom is not of this world. That's what Yahshua said. My kingdom is not of this world.

If it was, yeah, we would fight for it. But I got to do some things right now. I'm trying to gather people and I'm trying to get them to seek me as if I was a hidden treasure because He is the hidden treasure that leads to the kingdom of Yah.

This is so simple. There's no doctrine connected to it. Just think like a Hebrew, like an Israelite.

That is the origins of it and it produced something that was replaced by something else. Because thieves came in. Remember the whole story.

Thieves, the thieves are here. You know, you turn my father's house into a den of thieves. It's all right here.

Verse 20 (Matthew 9:20), but lay up for yourselves treasures in the Shemayim. In other words, if you keep the word of Yah in your heart and your prayer to Yah is that you can return to the kingdom where the treasure is, halleluYah, neither moth or rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. Why? If you're getting drunk every night, you can't go into the kingdom.

If you're getting buzzed every night, drunkards shall not inherit the kingdom of Yah. It's all over the New Testament. If you're dying with, if you die with unrepentant sin in your life, you can't go into the first, into the second, to the kingdom at the return of Yahshua in the first resurrection of the dead.

You are not eligible if you do certain things. See, because thieves, people who steal and all of these adulterous, idolatrous things and things that are not of Yah and people that are living a certain way don't go into the first resurrection. He's coming back for the righteous.

Those who have stored up Yahweh's word within their heart, they know it, they study it every day. It will lead you to hidden treasures. And verse 21 (Matthew 9:21) says for where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also.

Now we're talking about the soul of man, not this thing that pumps blood. That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about the soul.

For where your treasure is, there your soul, the heart of man, shall be also. So if you store up the word of Yah, where the commandments of Yah are written, if you store that up within you, then that treasure will lead you to the hidden treasures back into the land at the coming of Yahshua Hamashiach. That's where your soul will end up.

If your goal is to get to the kingdom where the hidden treasures and the land flowing with milk and honey, etc. is, then that's where your soul will be also. Not this thing pumping blood.

We're not going to have a fleshly body whenever we go into the kingdom behind Yahshua. It's talking about the soul of man. Our soul is at stake here.

You've got to want to go into that kingdom more than anything in the world. If you seek, seek ye first the kingdom of Yah. That's in this chapter.

Verse 33. I'm pretty sure. Matthew 6:33? Yeah.

Seek ye first the reign of Elohim and his righteousness and all these shall be added unto you. Then he'll take care of you. He'll give you the things that you won't go without.

You might not have that big four-wheel drive truck. You might not have that plot of land. You might not have all that.

But the things that you are reaping in your life are standing in the way of the ultimate blessings of Yah. Because your heart, your eyes, and your ears, and your soul are focused on something totally opposite of living out what is supposed to be stored up in our hearts. One might say, well, what does that have to do with the church? We'll see in just a moment.

Replacement theology is this. They didn't just replace Israel with the church. They replaced the names of Yahweh and Yahshua, but they left Isaiah and Jeremiah and Ezekiel in there.

Why? You leave their names in in the book, but you take out the father and son's name? I think about that for a moment. The author of the book and the one who breathed the words to all of the men whose names they kept in the scriptures was removed from the scripture. I mean, surely there's some of you out there right now going, well, he knows who I'm worshiping.

Yep, he does. He does. Those who love me keep my commands.

Do you love him? Do you love him? Is your ultimate goal to get into that kingdom when he returns? That's all that matters. Nothing else does. When you've stared death in the face often enough, like I have and others that I know that were living the same lifestyle that I did, you'll want wisdom.

You'll want understanding and you will want discernment. And Yahweh will slowly start taking these things, these added blessings, because you are refusing to seek righteousness. And the definition of righteousness in the Old Testament is that if we do all these commands that he has commanded us today, it will be our righteousness.

Deuteronomy 6, the last two verses. It's the only place in the whole of scripture where righteousness is defined Hebraically. And then you have the righteousness that is caused by the blood of Yahshua, which means the remission of sin.

You see, our heart, the very soul of every woman and man, must be set in finding the treasures of the word, because they lead to the kingdom. So then we have to let the origin of the word, its origin, find your soul, your heart, and find its origin. The origin of the soul of man and the origin of the word of Yah must come together and bring the two things, the creation, you, and the creator, back into a position to where we can reason together.

And once you start reasoning together, somebody might come to their senses. And somebody might say, you know what? I was a bad husband. I wasn't a husband at all.

Or I wasn't a good wife. And that's what the body of Yahshua has to do, is my whole point. This has got to do with marriage.

If the husband spoke all throughout time saying, I want this and I don't want that, please, honey, don't eat that. It makes me sick. What's so big about changing your diet for the one who gave you everlasting life? I don't understand it.

To just give up a few things that are replaceable with some pretty nourishing things. The origin of Yahweh's word, which stems from the beginning, must come in to the You must come into that origin with the origin of the heart or soul of man, which is the word itself. That's what created them.

And the breath, the neshama, that was breathed into them made them eternal beings. Do you understand? So we've got to set out in storing up the treasure of Yahweh's word within us so that it can be rejoined to the origin of your heart or the soul of man. Those two beginning points must be re-established, is my whole point.

At that time they can reconnect with that original relationship between yourself, man or woman, and Him. And normally what has to take place before that is you've got to have enough wisdom, understanding, and discernment to understand where the weeds and the tears are growing within your heart. Because you want to know what the weeds and tears are? They're the lies and the deception.

That's exactly how it started in the garden. Eve or Hawa was lied to and deceived. And that lying, deceiving thing that was planted within the soul of that being caused her to die.

It will never cause life. There's only one thing that can cause life, the origin of life, which is the word of Yah. That's why they say follow the commandments.

Those who say they know me and follow not my commands is a liar and the truth is not in them. That's in the New Testament, 1 John 2:4. Check my homework. So what happened? How did it happen, Teddy? In the historical study this evening, we will see the hijacking of Yahweh's true will-say religion.

We're going to look at historical facts that proves the hijacking of Yahweh's truth in a body of people in the first century. I'm going to read the information out of the Encyclopedia Britannica on Christianity. This is the Encyclopedia Britannica, Volume 5, on page 635, underneath the topic of Christianity.

And one thing I would like to ask, in any English version, Spanish, whatever, I would challenge anyone that is watching or will watch to please show me anywhere where there is the word Christianity. In any version. Now, many of you that have been following this faith for a while know that they were actually called Nasari or Nazarim at Antioch because they followed the guy from Nazareth and it made them watchmen over the words of the guy from Nazareth.

That's why in Hebrew, they would say that's his teacher. Why? He's following the words of that guy, that prophet, that apostle, that man who was healing, and they watch over his words and they guard them in their hearts, in their soul. You understand? The Hebrew origins of all of these philosophies that are stemming from Christian theology.

They were called Nasari or Nazarim because that is linked to the word that means watchers, watchmen. To watch over the words of the one from Galilee. Put your hand in the hand, you know, that whole thing.

So under Christianity, Encyclopedia Britannica, Volume 5, page 635 in the second and third columns, this is what it reads. Now, we're going to be doing some studying, so please pay attention. I'm going to read this.

I couldn't find it online or I had to pay to download it and I didn't want to do that. So I'm going to read it to you word for word out of the encyclopedia itself. So under the heading of organization, it says, as the teaching and person of JC were fitted into the framework of Greek philosophy.

What? Now, remember, this is history of the church. It doesn't say that they were trying to make Christianity be engulfed or surrounded or embedded by the doctrine of the apostles in the first century. It says, they were fitted into the framework of Greek philosophy.

And the sacraments into the deeper and broader forms of popular belief. Do you see this? The sacraments were added. It was not something, and those sacraments stem from Greek philosophy.

You would have never caught any of the apostles or Yahshua teaching any Greek philosophy in anything he ever spoke out of his mouth. So it was something that was being embedded into the broader forms of the popular belief. So was the organization shaped by the polity of the Roman empire.

It's got to do with politics. So this was a political move, this Christianity. Why do I say that? Because the word Christianity is nowhere in scripture.

So that was what was shaped by the Roman empire. JC gathered his group of followers and committed to it his mission, and after his resurrection, the necessities of the situation brought about the choice of quasi-officials. He appointed some folks, and guess what? It wasn't Constantine.

It wasn't any of the popes. They were just men who became believers, were discipled, and became servants. They referred to them here as quasi-officials.

But they were officially appointed by him. That's the point. That is the church fathers, if you want to use the term church.

Okay, but we're going to see by the history here that they killed all of them, massacred in AD 70, massacred. Josephus says up to one million people that were Israelites that had come to celebrate the feast of Passover for Yah's sake. They massacred the true believers in the first century.

In 70 AD, there were the practicers that the followers that did not believe in the Messiah were fellowshipping amongst the people who did believe in the Messiah. For his death, burial, and resurrection happened somewhere between 30 and 33 of the common era. So in AD 70, when that temple was destroyed, and the Romans came in there and massacred all of the believers, and they set the temple on fire.

The temple was set afire by both by both sides, as a matter of fact, in this war trying to fight fire with fire. And then so they began to build the fires more and more and more. The history shows.

And they burnt the temple to the ground along with all of the Hebrew documents they can find. They've always burned the Hebrew documents. Why is that? They do not want you people to find the truth of the Hebrew origins of the one that you believe saved you.

Later, the familiarity of the synagogue was loosely followed. A completer organization was retarded by two factors. The presence of the apostles and the inspiration of the prophets.

You see this? This is what was slowing down the advancement of Christianity. There was remnants of people who were still teaching the doctrine of the prophets or the warnings of the prophets and the doctrine of the apostles. And it was standing in the way of their agenda.

It was all a political agenda. This is the history, folks. This is where the church came from.

They killed our brothers. They massacred them. And this wasn't the first or the last time that it happened.

We all know that. This is history, folks. They can try to erase this from our minds, but they'll never ever erase it from our hearts.

If you loved the one who actually died for you, his name was not JC. It wasn't. There was no J in the English dialect or any dialect until 500 years ago.

It is downright impossible for anyone to have ever called the Savior Jesus. It did not exist. Just a little research on your own language will tell you that.

The J is only a little over 500 years old. And the word Christos, that they translated as Christ, has existed since the days of Homer. They all used it for deities and men in general.

But when the apostles died, see this, but when the apostles died and the early enthusiasm disappeared, and that's what's wrong, nobody is enthused anymore with the origins of our faith. And in those origins is the undefiled elements of what our belief is. Not what it became, but what it is.

It's in the Hebrew origins. Not in Judaism. That's not the original faith of Israel.

Torah is. The Law and the Prophets, that is where we base our faith. If you do this, you're going to get corrected.

If you do this, you're going to be blessed. Pretty simple. Blessings and curses.

Blessings for being obedient, being an obedient child. Curses, stripes on your back, being corrected for being disobedient. This is for everyone.

The Law and the Prophets is for righteous living, and Yahshua is coming back for the righteous. The church replaced... We're seeing the evidence. I've got another column I'm going to read.

Okay, this is very, very important. You guys, if you don't have the time to study on your own or don't know where to look, I'm bringing it to you right now raw and uncut. And these are some of the major accounts of information that sealed this walk, this faith for me.

The history backs up the things that were being said about the early church. It's all right here. They're not even hiding it.

The church is not filled with the Ruach HaKodesh. It's not even the same origin, everyone. Now, everybody in the church is obviously, everybody in the whole world, is called to repent and come back to serving YAH in an unadulterated manner.

So when the apostles died and the early enthusiasm disappeared, a stricter order arose. So here comes the forming of Catholicism. Practical difficulties called the enforcement of discipline.

And differences of opinion for authority in doctrine. And finally, the sacramentarian system required a priesthood. And I'm going to show you why it's so significant right here.

Your English Bible, no matter which one you're reading, actually shows us that there were traitors from Judea that trained Rome, there's evidence there, how to run a priesthood. They were the leaders of the Yehudi spoken about in your scriptures, or some of your verses say the leaders of the Jews, when Paul ended up in Rome, right? In the second century, see, now we're going into the second century. The conception of a Catholic church.

When did Yahshua die? Between 30 and 33 AD, correct? It's a proven fact. It's a historical fact. By not only Israel, but by nations all over the planet that didn't even believe in him.

So this is telling us that in the second century, so that means all the apostles were dead. Paul, or excuse me, Yahanan, not the Baptist, but John the Apostle, died somewhere around the late 90s to 100 of the Common Era. So after they're all gone, when we enter into the second century, now the church is being formed.

This is what the history shows us. Specifically, it says the conception of the Catholic church. I mean, I could just stop right now, but I want to impress on you not only how it happened, but who they replaced.

We want to be connected to the original group of people that was replaced after the last apostle died. That's the true faith. And they stayed steadfast in the prophets and the apostles' doctrines.

That's what history is telling us. And it says the same thing in Acts chapter 2. And they stayed steadfast in the apostles' doctrine. Acts 2:38-47.

I think it is. It was widely held. A loose embodiment was given it after the conversion of the empire, the organization.

See, the Roman Empire created the church, Catholicism, when? Around the second century of the Common Era. Not in prior to 100 of the Common Era, but after. The dates and times here are critical for us to understand that I don't want to be called a Christian because of that.

There was no such thing as a church that was governed by Roman. Let me put it to you like this, everyone. Look, so the curtain's up and the show's on.

Between the time Yahshua was born, somewhere around 2 or 4 BCE, they say. And he lived all the way down to approximately 30 or 33 of the Common Era. The apostles at that time went out and began spreading the good news out in the nations.

The last apostle, was John or Yohanan. And he died somewhere around 95, 100 of the Common Era, somewhere in there. Then we see the church that was erected by Rome was then enforced on the empire of Rome.

That means every province, everyone who had ever been taken over, or every land that had been taken over by Rome was now, if you fell under the realms of their empire, you were going to become a Roman Catholic. If not, that's what the medieval times produced. That's what the Inquisitions were all about.

And that's why Islam became a religion. Okay, so apparently somebody's in the chat section. I don't know what you're doing, but Ruth, the moderators say you got to go.

Here we go. Ruth, you're gone. We don't come here to get involved in other people's, oh boy.

Anyway, thank you to the moderator there. I really, yeah, we don't post stuff to other ministries here. Please don't do that.

We don't want the people who follow us and are looking for sound doctrine to be set off on some other tangent from other teachers. We don't do that. The majority of people that watch us have just a couple of people they follow online, and they're not scatterbrained.

And please do not post the links to other ministries or websites or anything in the chat section. It's for, we keep the chat section open for on-topic questions or comments, okay? That's what it's there for. Now, back to the study.

Always got to be a bad apple. Ruth, if you think that there's something that needs to be said, you can contact me at the contact information given at the beginning of the live stream. Or if you stick around, it'll be posted again at the end.

Right now, we got to get back on track here. So where was I? Right, so we were talking about how everybody had to convert that were part of the Roman Empire. And the organization, speaking about the Roman Catholic Church, this is where it began to be established.

The organization took on the official forms of the empire. That means the Roman Catholic Church that was created somewhere in the second century of the common era, then took on all of the policies, politics, laws, and all of that, giving them, now, why is that? This is very important. You might ask, well, Teddy, what gave them the authority? It wasn't what gave them the authority, it was who.

The emperor himself gave this newfound religion, a board of bishops, but they were political. Okay? And they gave them the authority. And why is that? They found a necessity for a priesthood.

Well, they already, as we're going to see here in a moment, they already had been schooled, the greater possibility, the kippah and everything else, it's there, by the rulers of the Yehudi who were based in Rome. Okay, so the elements of priesthood and the way that they set forth and fashioned those were off of those who knew about the priesthood back in Judea. They were taught how to run this priesthood.

Okay? Now, or how to run a priesthood. So, it was a political thing. And the reason why there was a priesthood, and that priesthood was given authority with bishops and all of that, is because the emperor of Rome was considered pontifus maximus in Latin, which means the high priest of all religions.

Whatever religion was okay for them to practice in the empire, he was the high priest over, he had to say so over everybody's faith and religion. Okay? Later, it was modified by the rise of the feudal system and the reestablishment of the modern European nationalities. Now it's being forced against the people who they are conquering, mainly during the Inquisitions and all of these times.

The polity of the church was more than a formal organization that touched the life of every believer. No matter what, no matter what you believe, they touched you in one way, shape, or form. Very early Christianity was conceived to be a new system of law.

Now you go back and you look at the Council of Nicaea, for instance, and all the history you can find on it. Constantine made Trinitarianism. You had to believe in the Trinity.

It was a law. And then, so all of these monarchianism, monotheism, and all these things that are considered by the church, it was only the church that called them heretics. Monotheism in its purest form was what Judaism has taken in.

It's monotheistic. There's only one. Okay, and so what the church did is they came up with this doctrine.

They fought over dualism or Trinitarianism, which is actually polytheism, more than one. Okay, and so during the Council of Nicaea, which was a long stretch of time, they tabled new names to replace Yahshua with. Yahshua the Messiah then became Jesus Christos, and the deity of this thing, and they did not believe in a godhead, by the way.

That's only an English term. There is no word in Greek or Latin that means godhead. It's insane.

It's only a Christian doctrine. Now, whether you believe in that or not at this point is not the topic, but I'm just giving you the information of where all of these things were made a law by the Roman Catholic Church. It began to be made law by Constantine in 325 of the Common Era.

After they started getting through all these, actually setting up the Dark Ages, things got pretty ugly. So it became a new system of law, and faith was interpreted as obedience to the church. They forbid them to read on their own or everything else, okay.

Legalism was joined with sacramentarianism. Okay, so this is legalism, not the first legalism ever instituted by the church. It had nothing to do with the Torah or the law and the prophets.

It had to do legalism the fight for not being held down by legalism by the reformed church didn't have anything to do with following the commandments or not following the commandments in the Torah. Legalism to them was the Roman Catholic Church saying this is the way you must sacramentally enter it or stay in the body. It's through the priests.

The priesthood that they established became law, okay, and the sacramental system was produced by that priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church. So anybody who would not allow them to bring you into a cleansing state by being obedient to what they ordained was considered a heretic, unclean, and an apostate. Had nothing to do.

Now the church says well that's legalistic if you want to follow the commandments. That is not the origin of legalism. It was the church itself that produced legalism and it was by the things that they instituted.

Had nothing to do with the embodiment of people and what they believed in the first century with Yahshua. It came with a complete system of ecclesiastical penalties. It culminated in the doctrine of purgatory, which is a place of discipline, purifying suffering after death.

The Roman genius for law strengthened and systemized this tendency. Okay, now I'm going to go through the second stuff and try to be a little bit quicker here because we got a few more things that we want to go to. Now we're going back or excuse me we're fast forwarding to when Protestant Lutheranism, Martin Luther, not king but the German reformist, he gets into a tissy with the bishops and the pope and the hierarchy of this priesthood and said that these things are legalistic.

There were also issues of idolatry, worship of statues and this and that and praying to them, which he felt was hypocrisy. So this is where we get the term Protestant. They protested the Catholic church.

So now through Lutheranism, Protestantism, so these are the daughters spoken about in the Roman Catholic church, it was adulterated. It's the woman who was considered a whore and she had many daughters. There's so many different factions that come from this establishment that took the place of the establishment that the apostles consecrated through the rules and regulations of what Yahshua told them to do versus the things that the Roman Catholic church instituted and forced as a law upon all believers who believed in this newfound faith established in the second century of the common era.

That's big. So now speaking of Protestantism, Protestantism in its primary pinnacle or principle is the reunion to primitive believing. Okay, but look what it says.

It's the return to primitive belief. The whole development which we have traced, the culmination, now this is where my words came off of my sticky note. I'm trying to read through this the best I can.

It was culminated into the ecclesiastical doctrinal system of the Roman church is something, that word's gone, and it has corruption there. So it was corrupted. The Protestant church merely protested for certain things that a Catholic was doing, but they still worshiped on Saturday, and they still had basically the same belief system and principles otherwise that the church in Rome had instituted upon all of its believers.

It says here, so that the religion established by Messiah is something lost. So again, I want to explain to those who weren't watching, I had a sticky note right here to mark my page, and the book sold that when I peeled the sticky note off, several of the words came off. So that's why I'm having a problem reading it.

For Protestants, the Bible only now becomes the infallible inspired authority in faith and morals. See, now we're getting into faith and morality. That's what they use the book for.

It wasn't to be obedient to the commandments so that you can stir them up in your heart and find that hidden treasure that's in the land that YAH, His reward is with Him, that hidden treasure. Revelation speaks about that, that if we follow His commandments, Revelation 22, if we follow His commandments, we have the right to the tree of life, and we can enter in through the gates into the city. By keeping the commandments, we have the right to the tree of life.

And He said, behold, I come speedily, and my reward is with me, the treasure that we are supposed to have given to us, the blessing is in the land, the hidden treasure. And how do we get there? By treasuring up the word within your heart. halleluYah.

That's taken out of the Protestant agenda, because now it becomes faith. Its authority is given in faith and morals, which many of the church assemblies today don't have morals at all. You see people walking around in there with mini skirts on and halter tops and half their heads shaved and pink, yellow, and purple hair.

The world has become a light to the people who believe in JC. And it's even happening in some of our assemblies, and we need to stop it. We are supposed to be a light to the world, folks.

And the only way that we can do that is to produce the light that Yahshua produced, which was obedience to the commandments of the Father. It's the only way that that light can shine. There is no other light.

Well, there is, but it's a false light. The Bible interpreted by man's unaided intelligent is as valueless as other writings. Now, everyone, please hear what this historical document is saying.

Faith teachers, that's what it's talking about. It's valueless, but it has a sacramental value. When the Holy Spirit accompanies its teaching and the power of Elohim uses it and makes the soul capable of holiness, that's their doctrine.

In all this, the supernatural is as vividly realized as in the Roman church. It is only its mediation which is different. In other words, it's saying the Protestant church is the Roman church.

They have two basic principles that are different. We're not going to serve idols. You can.

And we're not going to be told what to do or be succumbed or ruled over by the hierarchy of the priesthood that you have given the authority of law to. You know why? Because we're supposed to be under the authority of the Melchizedek priesthood in which he has directed us back to the Torah. The law and the prophets directed us to our Redeemer.

In turn, our Redeemer in Matthew 5 turned us back to the law. Matthew chapter 5. Again, let me present that again. The law and the prophets told all people on this planet that you needed a Redeemer because we have sinned against the commandments of Yah.

It's sinful to sin against the commandments. Now, so that gave us our need for a Redeemer. So the law and the prophets points us to Yahshua and then in return Yahshua pointed us back to the law and the prophets.

Matthew 5:17. Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the prophets, the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete.

Now, I know that many of you are seeing the word fulfill which would lead someone as a pastor in the church to say, well, he didn't come to do away with it but he fulfilled it. So it's done away with in your life. He fulfills it for you.

But that word from the Greek back to the Hebrew, it doesn't mean fulfilled. It means to fill up. Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets.

I did not come to destroy but to fill it up, to bring it to completion. He walked his whole life to complete it and completed it so that he could be that pure blood sacrifice, sinless for the people. And the only way that we can walk in his image and to follow his example is to study the law and the prophets, treasure it up within our heart so that we can see the hidden treasures that he has as a reward for us in the kingdom of Yah to come.

If you're in the church, share this video with your priest or with your pastor and tell them that I invite. I'm going to pull up the contact information. I invite any questions.

Oh, I see some of the brethren from India. Shabbat Shalom to you guys out there. halleluYah.

We have many brethren out there in India and Kenya that we love dearly. Here's that contact information. Call your pastor.

Send him this link. Give him our contact information. Your priest as well.

I would like to speak with you about these things. Again, because we know that the Roman Catholic Church or the Catholic Church in general will never produce information that contradicts its origin that they claim. And same thing with Protestant Church as well.

Email address, phone number. halleluYah. Now, again, Yahshua said, do not think.

Hebraically speaking, the function behind the English words do not think means don't let it cross your thoughts. Stop it. Don't let that thought even enter your mind.

Stop it. Don't even let it cross your mind that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. In Matthew 5:18, it says, for truly I say to you, till the heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle by no means shall pass from the Torah till all be done.

Whoever then breaks one of the least of these commands and teaches men so shall be called least in the reign of the heavens. When I come back, you teachers, you guys are teaching the law and the prophets is for the Jews. You'll never make it in.

You're misleading Yah's people, the sheep of our Savior. Now, listen. So speaking about Christianity, these principles are variously worked out in the different churches and variously expressed.

Do you know that Yah does not give you freedom of thought to worship you however you want to? Do you know that that is condemned by the creator? He's already thrown out how many groups of people out of his kingdom because of disobedience to his commandments. And we are to think that we're going to inherit it doing the same exact things? This is ironic to even think of that. As in the Roman church cult centers, that just means seed, teachings, cult.

Cult is actually not a bad word. Unless the Roman church deemed you an occult, then it's bad all of a sudden. They called the oneness believers monarchianists or whatever, and they condemned that teaching.

If you're teaching people that monarchianism is a cult, you're teaching a Roman Catholic teaching. If you're teaching that monotheism is a cult, then you are teaching Roman Catholic doctrine. They're the ones that deemed all these other believers as heretics.

You're only carrying on in Roman doctrine. I can assure you that the law and the prophets teaches one mighty one. One.

And he redeemed us through his redemption. That's what it teaches. As in the Roman church cult centers in the mass, so in the original reformed church, it's centered in the sermon.

When you come to mass, the priesthood will tell you what you need to do. You go to the confession booth. You go to your rosary.

They tell you how to take care of the sin. But in the reformed church, it comes by the way of a sermon. Has nothing to do with studying what Yahweh's word says is good or bad, do or don't do.

Has nothing to do with the marriage covenant proposal that was made at Mount Sinai. And it has nothing to do with obedience to enter in to a relationship with the one who we cheated on prior to now. The ancient, listen to this, this is critical.

They call it Jewish, but it's Israelite or Hebrew. It says the ancient Jewish prophetic office was revived, yet with a difference. The ancient prophets acknowledge no external authority.

Okay, what do they mean by that? We know that they had a priesthood, but that priesthood was not given authority over telling you what you had to do to repent. That priesthood can only tell you what it is written to do in the Torah in order to achieve repentance from your sin. They could not make their own way of repentance.

They themselves were confined to the law of almighty Yah concerning repentance and cleansing from your sins. It was already written what the father wanted you to do. That was done away with.

And the papacy raised their own priesthood and their own way of you being forgiven of your wrongdoings with a rosary bead and Hail Marys. That is found nowhere in the whole of scripture. And the Protestant church has brought that over into, if you listen to the sermon and put money in the plate, then you're a good person morally.

You're doing the right thing. You're going to make it to the kingdom. Just have faith.

That's what this whole thing just told us. That's what replaced the first century Sabbath-keeping, feast-keeping, commandment-keeping, to the best of their ability, people that were raised up and taught by the apostles of your redemption, whose name was Yahshua Messiah. But the Protestant preacher is strictly subordinate to the scriptures of which he is the interpreter.

When I teach you the New Testament, what do I do, you guys? Those of you that have been following me long enough, you know that I don't give you my own personal interpretation. We go to the Hebrew definitions, anciently, if possible. And we go to the Tanakh or the Old Testament to validate what we're seeing in the New Testament.

And we don't send around a plate back home at the assembly. Do we, you guys? No. There's a little thing with Yahweh and Yahshua's name over in the corner.

If Yahweh puts it on your heart to give, halleluYah. If he doesn't, halleluYah. You can support this ministry if you want.

But Yahweh will be the one to put it on your heart to do that. I'll never ask you for a dime, unless we're trying to help somebody else get from point A to point B, or somebody's in a financial problem that the ministry can't handle, to help one another, yes. But me, as the elder of Seekers of Yahweh Ministries, I will never just contact you and say, you know what, I want you to send me this.

We don't do that. I don't pass around the plate. The only time that I have ever asked anybody for money is if the ministry was in some type of big-time problem because of us speaking against sin.

And people try to take us down. That's the only time that I've ever contacted anybody and said, hey, we might have a problem here. What I'm saying is it's not about the money.

It's not about the Roman Catholic priesthood. And it's not about any other priesthood or anybody else's money other than the order of Melchizedek. The priesthood of Melchizedek was supposed to be taking care of one another.

That is a given. But the sheep are not being fed, everyone. That's the problem.

The sheep are not being fed. Yahshua told Kepha, if you love me, feed my sheep. They're dying to be massacred by false doctrine out there.

They're being led astray. Nobody even looks at my commandments anymore. Why? False teachings, tares.

Somebody's sowing tares amongst the wheat. They're telling you that something that is a lie is true and they've got you believing it. It's the same old deception that stemmed from the Garden of Eden.

They would have never been deceived and never lost eternal life if they had only continued to do what Yah had commanded them to do and to not doubt His word as a sovereign or king of all creation. The second we doubt that or the second we don't honor that, forget about it. You will have problems.

The enemy will knock you down. So the emphasis in closing here, the emphasis upon the believer and his freedom from all external authority do not result in a thoroughgoing individualism. Luther clearly held to the unity of all Christians.

Listen to this. He held to the unity of all Christians and Protestants are agreed in this. For them, as for the Roman church, there is a belief in a Catholic or all-embracing church.

They continued with the same plan that the Roman Catholic church did. The Romans would have just wiped all those Protestants out, believe me, like they did everybody else. But because they held on to so many of the doctrinal tenets, there was no need to execute them, correct? They were still basically Protestants.

We're still basically Catholics. That's what they're saying here. But the unity is not that of an organization.

Christians are one through the indwelling spirit. Well, wait a minute. What about the spirit or the ruach that dwelt in the people prior to the Roman Catholic church? See, they can't ever be part of the unified.

That's what Catholicism means, universal church. I don't want to be part of the universal church. I want to be part of the assembly that was created by the apostles in the first century.

And this is what took place of that. Christians are one through an indwelling spirit. They undergo the same experience and follow the same purpose.

Well, that is the case in most religions that don't stem from Catholicism as well. Now, let's get to this priest thing. Let's go to Acts 18:1-4, verses one through four.

Acts chapter 18, verses one through four. And after this, Shaul left Athens and went to Corinth. And he found a certain Yahudite named Aquilas, born in Pontos, who had recently come from Italy with his wife, Priscilla, because Claudius Caesar had commanded all, many of you are going to see Jews, Yahudi, commanded all of the Jews or Yahudim or Yahudi, whichever version you're reading, to leave Rome.

And he came to them. And because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and was working, for they were tent makers by trade. And he was reasoning in the congregation, what? Every Sabbath.

So they were still keeping the Sabbath, the body of believers in the first century, prior to the second century. See, that Sunday keeping didn't come until the Roman Catholic church, who was dragging everybody out of Sunday worship, overthrew the original body that was erected in the first century by the apostles. And he was reasoning in the congregation every Shabbat and won over both Yahudi and Greeks.

That tells you that there were people from Greek nations who had received the original doctrine that was connected to Yahshua, was still connected to the seventh day Sabbath, the feasts and the commandments. The original converts were still keeping Sabbath and attending the synagogues or the congregation where Yah's people were. That changed, didn't it? Oh, Father.

And he won over both Yahudi, who didn't believe in Messiah, and Greeks, who had not yet believed in Messiah. He won them both over by keeping the Sabbath, going in there and reasoning among them after their service. Now, why is this so important? Because we see that all of the Yahudi, the people of Judea, were commanded to leave Rome under Claudius, the emperor at that time.

Now let's fast forward to when Shaul or Paul is in custody in chapter Acts 28. I'm going to screen share with you some dates and times and you'll see where or who helped them form. We have physical evidence that it was the body of people we're about to see in the scriptures here that helped the papacy form a priesthood that functioned a differently but looked very, very similar to the one that was in Judea in the first century.

That's why Yahshua didn't like it. It was Romanized. It was packed full of Herodians and Hasmoneans and other people who were absolutely not supposed to be in a priesthood.

Acts 28:16. And when we came to Rome, so Shaul had been arrested and he appealed to Caesar, which was a different emperor than the one who had said that all the Yahudi had to leave Rome. But there was such turmoil between the Yahudim and Romans at the time that not very many people from Judea even wanted to go anywhere near Rome because that's how bad it was.

The history shows these it was about to go down. This is sometime later and you know heading towards 70 of the common era it was so bad that finally the war broke out and they burned down the people and killed massacred almost a million people who were there to celebrate Passover. Church done that.

The origins, the people who are at the root of the origins of the Roman Catholic Church and Protestantism through Lutheranism are the ones who done that. Do you understand? They're the ones that beheaded Shaul or Paul. They're the ones that killed many many many of our brothers and sisters that believed in the Messiah.

And when we came to Rome in verse 16 chapter 28 of Acts, the captain delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Shaul was allowed to stay by himself with a soldier guarding him. And it came to be after three days that Shaul called for the leaders of the Yahudi. The leaders of the Jews were there that the head of what was going on in the land of Judea was actually based in Rome.

Do you see what happened here? Shaul called the leaders together and when they had come together he said to them men and brothers though I have done none at all against our people or the practices of our fathers I was delivered as a prisoner from Yerushalayim into the hands of the Romans who when they had examined me intended to let me go because there was no cause for putting me to but the Yahudi spoke to them spoke against it and I was compelled to appeal to Caesar not that I had any accusation against my nation. Now so here's an entity the headship of the group of people that still remained in Judea is now based in Rome and it was a bad time for Jews if you will or people from the land of Judea to be in Rome. Let me show you I'm going to screen share this with you guys here we go so look at this this is when Claudius expels the the Yahudim or the Yahudi from Rome and look at the time here references to an expulsion of the Jews from Rome by the Roman emperor Claudius who was in office AD 41 to 54.

Now that doesn't necessarily mean that in 54 the the ban for them to be there was lifted but there is controversial discussions about that as soon as he was taken out of office that they changed it. So there we see that that took place somewhere between 41 and 54 of the common era. Now look at this here's a chronological order of the apostle Paul's journeys what I want you to pay attention to is number three and four.

So Paul was arrested in Jerusalem in the summer of AD 55 look how much closer we're getting to AD 70 at the destruction of the temple all right and taken to Caesarea for two years and then in 50 that was until the 57 of the common era and at that point Paul left by ship for Rome that's in Acts 27 and that's what we just picked up in reading in Acts 28. So they arrived in Fairhavens on Crete on the day of atonement on the 7th of Kishore and that would have been after September 29th of that year in AD 57. So they went from there to Rome they set sail and were shipwrecked at Malta 14 days later which would be in late October and they stayed for three months and that puts us over into 58 of the common era.

Then in February of 58 of the common era they set sail for Rome they arrived in Rome in the spring of 58 of the common era and Paul remained in custody for two more years as we see in Acts 28. Now shortly after that here's the importance behind that everyone. Why do we want to bring that up? Because we have a over 10 year period is the possibility of that group of people that was already in Rome being in Rome because I can't disprove that the headship was thrown out of Rome only Roman citizens or excuse me citizens of Judea the common people were told to leave and I've looked to find any other evidence that the headship of the Yehudi was sent out which I cannot find and obviously they're still there when Paul arrives.

So knowing this that there was always an embassy if you will of the leaders of the Jews to be present in Rome now look at the physical evidence of the Roman Catholic priesthood they wear robes they wear a waist belt and they have incense burners and they have kippahs which existed in the first century common era in the priesthood that existed at the temple. This is a no-brainer showing you that the priesthood that was supposed to be represent Yahweh in the land of Judea was taught to the headship in Rome and they took on the form of a priesthood but didn't carry the same rules and regulation and cleansings as the priesthood that had been ordained by the father in the Torah. Lining up exactly with what the history shows that they made their own laws through the priesthood who had been given total authority because the emperor of Rome was Pontifus Maximus the high priest of all religions.

Right there we see another replacement theology that was conducted by the Romans as they began to enter these final stages of overthrowing this that was a state of Israel by the way that was not the nation of Israel that was in the land in the first century. It was a state or a province where all of Israelites were welcome to come as long as they were willing to sit underneath Roman rule in that province. It was a state of Israel much like what is over there right now.

That land was given to them by the United States and Britain not Yahshua. It's a state. Now and of course I want to cover real quick we're going to nip this one in the bud everybody.

I want to produce a bunch of information on all these theories behind and now we're going to look into the writings. Why do we not see any Hebrew documents of the New Testament? What we actually do? You just got to know where to look because you can't find it through Christian Grecianized doctrine being taught or history being taught by the church or from Judaism because then if we have Hebrew documents that are legitimately classified as Hebrew original New Testament writings both of those factions of world religion dissipate. Got one right here though.

It's being confirmed. Screen share with you one more time. I want to talk about the book burning.

There we go. So here you see I have this document the burning of Hebrew books. This is something that has went on for millennia.

Some people will say well we can't really prove. Well they've done a pretty good job of trying to cover up the origins of the Gospels but it survived and the information is out there. It's not very popular among Christians because they believe in the Greek text that supports the use of Jesus and Christ because of course it was written in Greek but it wasn't written in Greek as we're going to see.

And the name of Yahshua would have been the true name that was preached to everyone for redemption. Here you see the background here an attempt had been made to prevent teaching of the second tradition by Emperor Justinian in 553 and in 712. Viscounts in Spain forbid converts to Christianity to read Hebrew books.

Now you can go all through this document. There's your where you can find it www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org burned of the Talmud but you better bet if they were burning Talmud writings they were burning all kinds of Hebrew documents which we're going to see here in a moment is proven as well. So you see all of these things.

Look at this here in Rome. It was during the counter-reformation in Italy in the middle of the 16th century that the attacks on the Talmud had the most far-reaching consequences. In the reactionary climate a quarrel broke out between rival Christian printers of the Hebrew books in Venice.

One of them with the convenience of certain apostates denounced the works produced by the competitor as containing matter offensive to the Holy Catholic Church. So it just goes on and on and on. We have the church here some of the reformed church trying to re-establish and regroup the writings of the Hebrew documents.

Rome wasn't having it. So if they burned down the temple you know that we're burning all the Hebrew books. I mean it's documented everywhere.

So but there has been some that has survived. Okay so now we're getting into we see the church replaced the original first century body of believers. We have over what this is just a little bit of information that you can dig up in these encyclopedia sets on the history of the church was formed by were all the laws and regulations the priesthood the reformation Lutheranism and all the other protestant assemblies are actually one group that overthrew the original body of believers in the first century.

So that's what we're going to get to now. How did it happen? Just like it said history proves what has happened. But you can never wipe out Yahweh's purpose ever.

And there has always been a body of believers in time that has preserved the Torah, preserved the documents, and preserved the true faith. It has never went away. And in these last days Yahweh is showing us this is what I created.

This is what I expect of you. I love you. Come back to me.

Come out from among them and be ye separate saith Yahweh. Touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you. That's in the book of first Corinthians a quote directly out of the old testament.

He was telling us I'm going to come back for you. That was a prophecy and then in the new testament it's confirmed. Touch not the unclean thing.

Speaking about the things that the old testament deems unclean. Oh father help us. World religions are killing us folks.

We're not allowing us to go into the kingdom with Yahshua. That's the biggest problem. There's two major things that will keep you out of the first resurrection of the dead.

Not living out the word that is supposed to be in your heart. Disobedience will keep you out. And the other thing first and foremost that will keep you out is you.

Your decisions to be obedient or disobedient to the commandments. The disobedience has to take root and come from you and what is in your heart. So you'll be the biggest reason why you don't make it into the first resurrection of the dead if indeed you don't make it.

It's your decisions. You've got to have the word of Yah treasured up in your heart as we've seen at the beginning of this study in order to reach the treasure in the kingdom of Yah. The word of Yah in the old testament is full of wisdom understanding and it gives you discernment.

If you're not discerning the things that are written in the back of the book you can't live the life that is promised in the end of the book. Do you understand? And again Josephus wrote in his writings that in AD 70 of the common era when Titus and the Roman regime that overthrew Jerusalem and the land of Judea as a whole ultimately within a year they had it all sewed up. History shows the whole land that approximately 1 million people were killed by the Romans who in the 2nd century erected the Roman Catholic church.

Do you see the problem here? The ones who killed our brethren that were at the temple to celebrate Pesach was massacred by the ones who started the church approximately 100 years later somewhere between 100 and 200 of the common era. That's when they began to establish what we now know as the Roman Catholic church, Protestantism, Lutheranism, etc. Now I want to show you the proof of the origins of the true faith and show proof of Hebrew originals that were untainted by the English mind, the Latin mind, and the Greek mind.

So again here I have this book, The Epistle of Yaakov, a translation from the Hebrew. And it is placed by Dr. Myles R. Jones. He's got a bunch of good stuff and I'm checking into some of the history going here.

But I want to show you what he's written before this book. The question to him was this. Is this epistle of James authentic? Now we're going to get down to authenticity.

Listen, that is the most important question to ask about this manuscript in the British Museum. John Sheprev wrote the Hebrew epistles of both James and Jude as a gift to the English King Henry VIII who from 1540. Authentic would mean the epistle came from a Hebrew source rather than being translated from the Greek.

Do you understand that? They asked him, that is the question. Is it authentic? And authentic would mean in a scholastic realm of of archaeologists and theologians is can we prove its authenticity? Did it come from a Hebrew source, an original Hebrew source? Listen to this. The rising Greek, now this is the concept behind the authenticity of this epistle.

The rising Greek church of Constantine in the 4th century declared the messianic church and the Hebrew gospels to be heretic and then began to hunt them into extinction. One should pause to reflect upon this. The messianic church itself was declared heretic.

Now, when it says messianic church, it doesn't mean messianic, the new faith. What it's talking about in that time frame, messianites, followers of Messiah. Okay.

It was an era, the messianic era. Okay. So now I guess we have, don't you have the ability to block these guys? I'm asking the moderator.

All right. Now let's get back to work so we can wrap this up for this evening. So again, the messianic church itself was declared a heretic.

Would it have been more meaning to the reader? If I remind you, this is the original church of Yahshua. The first apostasy is little more than a footnote in the history of Christianity. When made aware, one surely asks why the Greco-Roman church of Constantine would do such, would do such a thing.

The reason is simple. The messianic church was their competition. It was a remnant of all of those Yehudi that they tried to slaughter.

They may have killed a million of them when they took over Jerusalem in 80, 70, but there were those that got away and those who remained loyal in serving the King in truth and did not fall or was not succumbed to that thing that they attempted to take its place with. Blessed be the name of Yah for that. Scripture in Hebrew was banned.

We see that over and over throughout this study. When the Roman church split from the Greek church, Greek scripture was also banned, replaced by Latin. See, that's why we have the Greek church and the, because Rome was now taking control of the whole belief system and it was going to be, oh, I see.

Hold on. I think, yeah, I'll have to do that another time. It's because I don't have you activated on my laptop.

Sorry about that. We'll get that fixed later. So that's where we get the Orthodox Greek church, the Orthodox, Orthodox Judaism.

I mean, because it, all of it took on reforms. So the Greek scriptures was even banned and Latin, all of the services were performed in Latin and not all the people in the Roman Catholic church could read Latin. So that puts them underneath the thumb of the priest who is conducting the whole mass.

Again, trying to keep with the same game plan that we read about here at an earlier date. All the subsequent violent history of the Roman church against fellow believers for doctrinal differences can be traced to this original apostasy. The Crusades against their competitors, whether Muslim, Greek Orthodox, Neo-Messianic or Jews are written in blood.

Inquisitions often followed military force to winnow out the survivors who held to their ancestral faith. The ban on the Hebrew gospels has been in force for many centuries. Then in the 1500s, a guy named Erasmus advocated to bring the Hebrew gospels back in.

They had still survived. Oh, father, I want to take this back to this passage and then we're going to go to some history that goes back to BC before the common era to lay the foundation of the respect for the name of the mighty one of Israel. Okay.

Now, as we've seen in the first century, they were calling him Yahshua, Yahshua Messiah. Historically proven. Nobody ever called the savior Jesus in the first century.

It was an impossibility. And I'm going to give you a passage that proves that. Let's go to, I believe it's the book of Luke chapter 24.

Oh yes. Luke chapter 24, beginning at verse 44 through verse 47. (Luke 24:44-47) We just saw that the council of Nicaea, just go study the council of Nicaea in these books.

You'll see the same information I'm giving you is when the, in the lost documents, they call them the lost documents, but they're not lost of Nicaea. They clearly state that they tabled some 300 pagan names to see which ones would most would make this church, the Roman Catholic church most successful in being able to suffice the people in different areas by way of bringing a name to them with this new religion that would be more easy for them to accept rather than the Hebrew one they were getting rid of. Again, they didn't get rid of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel.

The majority of all those names remained almost perfectly transliterated, but they totally removed Yahshua Messiah and Yahweh, Yod-Heh-Wah-Heh from the manuscripts completely. They replaced the names. They didn't translate them.

That's what the Roman church did. And that bled down to the Latin church, the Protestant church, Lutheranism, all of them. And we're going to see how that's not the way that the faith began.

Again, it is a proven fact. Have you ever seen the Passion of the Christ? That's why they spoke that whole thing. Well, they say Aramaic, but it's a form of Hebrew.

But I believe in history shows that it was a Hebrew was being spoke in the first century by the Yehudi in the land, especially in synagogues. They were reading from the Hebrew scrolls. We just had historic proof that they were destroying the Hebrew documents in the first century and prior to that.

For millennia they have. So that's telling you they were still reading Hebrew. Where was I going? Luke chapter 24, verses 44 through 47. (Luke 24:44-47)

This was on the road to Emmaus. Yahshua reveals himself. And I've just learned recently that this was some of Yahshua's immediate family when he was raised by Yosef and Mariam that he revealed himself to.

He revealed himself to his blood, if you will. Oh, Father. But anyway, it says in verse 44, and he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you that all have to be filled that were written in the law of Moses and the prophets and the Psalms concerning me.

Let me run that by you again. That all have to be filled that were written in the Torah of Moses and the prophets and the Psalms concerning me. Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures.

Well, I thought all that stuff was done away with. He opened up their mind to understand the wisdom of Yah through how? Because he is the wisdom of Yah embodied. Oh, he was Yah.

In Yah's wisdom he came and dwelt among us. For Yah was in Messiah reconciling the world unto himself. All that were written in the Torah of Moshe and the prophets and the Psalms concerning me that he opened their minds to understand the scriptures.

See, so he's causing them to understand who he is by what has been written so that they learn to store those things up and treasure them with their very soul. Verse 46 says, and he said to them, thus it has been written and thus it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and to rise again for the anointed one. That's what Messiah means to rise again from the dead the third day.

What were they calling him in the first century? Yahshua. Verse 47 says, and that repentance and forgiveness of sin should be proclaimed in his name to all nations beginning at Yerushalayim. What? It is a fact that they were using Yahshua Messiah, speaking Hebrew, in the first century.

And he tells them that repentance and forgiveness of sin would be proclaimed and the preaching of the good news that was being proclaimed is connected to what? Having the things revealed to who he is from the law and the prophets and the Psalms concerning his deity, who actually was. And that repentance and remission of sin would be proclaimed in his name, Yahshua, to all nations beginning in Yerushalayim. Acts 4:12.

And there is no other name given amongst men whereby ye must be saved. And they were using Yahshua in the first century. This is huge.

All of the nations in the beginning when they received the good news from the apostles were all baptized and had the good news revealed to them in the name of Yahshua Messiah. The church replaced the names of the father and son and put in the names of other deities so that it would be more acceptable to those who they were trying to overcome with their law of religion in the second century. Now we're going to show you the respect of all nations concerning that name.

Everybody confessed and believed in the first century in Yahweh's redemption in the name of Yahshua Messiah. The name of the mighty one and the redemption of Israel, the name of the mighty one of Israel and the redemption of Israel was spread throughout the world in the beginning. It never went away unless you were converted to Catholicism or Protestantism.

I want to show you the respect that other nations had for the name of Yahweh and Yahshua means Yahweh's redemption. Yahweh is salvation in BCE before the common era. Somewhere around 200 BCE we see the respect of the name of the mighty one of Israel being preserved by people in other nations.

Now so this is placed by a sacred name assembly out in Missouri and this is the writing of the late elder Trina. A whole lot of history he put into this. So in closing I want to read a few things concerning these very important names that have been replaced by the church.

Look at this. Herein follows the testimony of investigative scholars who have not gone along with the myth of the Greek origin of the New Testament. This is Dr. Schofield.

He has a translation into English. In translating an old Hebrew text of Matthew's gospel in his 1927 edition says, So he's talking about information that he found on a Hebrew text version of the gospel of Matthew and he's saying that in this abridged work the fragments that have survived show that the Hebrew gospel of Matthew was larger than the ones that we have in the Greek, Latin, and English. Do you understand this goes right along with all of the history that shows that the Hebrew gospels were confiscated.

All Hebrew writings were being confiscated, hidden, or burned. This is the truth about it all and which contained all and more of the acts and sayings of Messiah that is now found in the four accepted gospels put together. I believe this protovangel was written in Hebrew not Aramaic and was intended for Judean Christians, which is mainly believers, who produced it to become the last book of the Old Testament canon.

Wow. Such a collection as the New Testament not having at this not having at that time been thought of. And then we have Bar-Hebrews, the famous eastern historian of the 12th century noted the fact that the Greeks Hellenized many Aramaic Hebrew names and stated that they changed the form of many nouns and did not pronounce them as given in the originals.

Do you not know that the law of Moshe, Yahweh said do not add to nor take away from the writings of this book that's in the book of Deuteronomy and it's also written in the New Testament in the book of Revelation? You start changing the names in the book you have become oh they are in trouble. Let us not follow in that steed. Now I want to go down here and find they'll teach me to just click on something when I shouldn't.

I may have to read this whole thing just to find it. Oh, here we go. Here it is.

All right, look at this. Okay, so it says in fact, it has lately been discovered that the original translators of the Old Testament into the Greek by the 70 Jewish scholars at the request of Ptolemy Philadelphus did not translate nor transliterate the name of Yahweh. So this is saying that whenever they first translated from Hebrew into the Septuagint the Greek Torah that they did not transliterate the name of Yahweh into Greek.

So the Greek manuscripts that we have now have followed along in the era or excuse me error of replacing the name with another Greek name or title but in the beginning when they translated the Septuagint the Jewish scholars at the request of this leader of another nation they did not translate or transliterate the name of Yahweh but in every place where the sacred name was written they blocked off a space and then in gold they inscribed the Tetragrammaton the four-lettered word Yod-Heh-Wah-Heh which in Hebrew is pronounced Yahweh. The Greek copyists not being able to make out the name which was written in Hebrew letters they read it as there you see a Greek pronunciation which made no sense to them so they inserted the names of their chief deities. That's what happened later on Theos and Kyrios which are the involvements of Zeus and that's where Jesus comes from and Jesus Christos from Zeus and Horus and use these names indiscriminately.

So it goes on to say in some other writings that when they did that they left it in a paleo Hebrew because the block form of Hebrew anyway the history behind it suggests that they used the paleo form of Yod-Heh-Wah-Heh not in gold letters that's how much they respected the mighty one of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and all of Israel and the creator of the world. So what has happened they've overthrown the true belief tried to massacre to extinction the believers in Messiah that keep Torah follow the law and the prophets as well as anybody who keeps the law and the prophets. It's been that way for millennia so there is the story everyone or part of it at least the church what happened that's what happened history shows it scripture proves it and the history we can get into is just sad and some of the things are even unbecoming to mention at least not on online or in public that have happened to these people.
