This is the essence of the 5th Gospel.
We know who Matthew says Yahshua is…
We know who Mark says Yahshua is…
We know who Luke says Yahshua is…
We know who John says Yahshua is…
…So Who do you say Yahshua is?
If what we say is not what they said, then we have a very big problem.
…And so does everyone else around us who have not yet read what Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John said about Yahshua…because they can only learn Who He is from us.
If you consider yourself a Christian then this question is for you…
And this book is also highly recommended by us. “The Invitation: The Not-So-Simple Truth About Following ‘Jesus’” by Greg Sidders.
No it’s not all-the-way-right, but it will give you much to think about, and it’s a great start.
What a concept to ponder too… you may not yet know that the Greco-Roman term “Christ” isn’t an appropriate appellative of our Savior but you do know you are supposed to be following Him.
Have you considered what that means? To follow Him requires that you let Him lead you. To follow Him means you need to imitate His actions. To follow Him means you must learn how He thinks, understand what He does, and practice how He did these things.
Do you? Do you follow Him? Or do you follow what your modern American church denomination says and does and teaches you to imitate?
Do you follow the one you’ve been calling “Christ”, seeking to mimic His mannerisms and methods as mentioned in the pages and passages of the stories His students wrote about? Or are you doing what your theologians and theosophists dictate from what the late British empire instilled in us, which tradition they twisted out of the Greco-Roman world before?
If you truly want to follow faithfully in the footsteps of the Savior, then you must take the time to study His Ways and actions and learn to replicate these in your daily life.

I had to do an update on this. The counting of the omer begins on the Sabbath during the week of Passover. The counter on my site was not correct because it began the day after the high day. But it's actually supposed to begin after the weekly Sabbath during the time of Passover. I should have known better and I apologize for any misinformation I have shared.
Shalom, friends,
We invite you to join us live on Zoom and YouTube at 4pm CDT Sabbath afternoon, 06/08/2024, for our weekly lesson and prayers. Just use the following link:
This week, we will be teaching from the article:
"A Portrait of the Truth in Scripture".
The Hebrew word Emeth – Truth – often receives treatment as a thing that no one can really quantify or pinpoint. People who do not know Truth usually claim that, relative to what we can know, Truth only exists as something insubstantial or ethereal, which can be shaped to one’s own personal viewpoint. Pontius Pilate demonstrated such a viewpoint when he asked Yehoshua his rhetorical question, “What is Truth?” Scripture calls such relative truth many things, including “abomination”, “deception”, “for a moment”, and “going astray”. In contrast, Scripture calls ABSOLUTE Truth, “established forever”, “the works of His hands”, “delight”, and “the Way”. It paints a definitive portrait of Truth and shows us how to recognize it.
If you believe the Bible and follow it you do well…but consider carefully before calling a book, “The Bible”…you just might be gripping tightly to scribal tradition not Sacred Scripture.
The lying pen of the scribe wasn’t only at work in ancient days but has in these last days been very busy aswell.
Scribes have many bad habits they infuse into their works and pass them off as authentic. Some wellmeaning and others maliciously so, but the result is the same — a twisted rendition of what was originally written.
Scholars adopt local custom and call it translation. They leave out meaning, misuse terms, select interpretive renderings for political favor or denominational expectation, uphold longstanding precident regardless of its rightness or ruination, and insert their own private bias to make their work fit the expected narrative of nation or institution.
We must be cautious in all our studies never to trust what was given to us…because it passed first through the hands of the treacherous.
