In my walk, once I discovered the switch to Sunday and a few other doctrines were not biblical, I set about trying to find out where these things came from. As it turns out, Sunday, Christmas, Easter, and a bunch of other doctrines of mainstream Christianity come from pagan religions. These are direct practices of other religions that have been melded into Christianity. Did you know mixing the worship of other faiths into the faith of Yeshua is the most rebuked sin of the bible and the one that caused ancient Israel the most trouble?
These things matter. How we worship matters. It shows which God we are serving. As for me and my house, we serve Yahweh in the Name of His Son, Yeshua.
The Bible describes Messiah as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. That implies there are kings and lords under him. Who are these subordinate kings and lords, and how did they get to be rulers in Messiah's Kingdom?

Sometimes we hear things that sound Biblical and although these things may be close they may not be accurate. A good example is “those who bless Israel will be blessed.” this statement is close to what was written while being wrong. Genesis 12:2 — 3, “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.” The argument is made that Israel is an extension of Abraham, however we need to remember his other sons (all of them) are also an extension of Abraham.
Instructions for War
“When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and a people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for Yehovah your God is with you, the One who brought you up from the land of Egypt.” — Deuteronomy 20:1
In this chapter, the Torah speaks of physical wars. Yet in doing so, Yehovah reveals a most considerate and loving side of His nature, for He Himself instructs His people on how war should be conducted. We must be clear: these instructions were not about the conquest of Canaan. The seven nations who dwelt there were to be utterly uprooted because of their occult practices, their perversions, and their idolatry. But when Israel would engage in wars beyond its borders—wars of expansion that would come as a natural result of walking in obedience to the Torah—the procedure was different.
First, they were to offer terms of peace. If the city accepted, its people would become tributaries and servants of Israel. But if they refused, the city would be besieged; and once it fell, all the men were to be put to death, while the women, children, and livestock would be spared. The spoil of such nations would belong to Israel.
These verses set forth the terms by which Israel was to conduct war against towns distant from Israel’s inheritance. It was not to be waged in a cruel, mercenary manner. A proposal of peace was to be offered; and if that offer was refused—if negotiations failed—they were to proceed without hesitation.
