1 STATEMENT OF BELIEF Assembly of Yahweh, Cascade, an Assembly of True Israel, Rev. Jan Preface to our Statement of Belief: YHWH in Hebrew is "Yahweh" in English, meaning: He-is, He-exists, or Ever-living. YHWH (Yahweh) is the name of the ONE Almighty Sovereign Creator Power, the Life-Force Essence (aka G-d) of all that exists. Yahwism is the belief or religion that developed and came from the Almighty Sovereign as He has revealed it by His inspiration to the ancient Israelite Prophets as was recorded by them in the Hebrew Bible. Yahshua (Jesus) the First Century Israelite Prophet of the Greek New Testament (NT) taught Yahwism (aka Israelism) using the Bible's basic theology of strict Monotheism as founded within the teachings of the Hebrew Bible. Adherents to the religion of Biblical Yahwism are called Yahwists. "I Am Yahweh and there is none else - there is no Mighty One besides Me. I Am Yahweh, and there is none else".. Isaiah 43:10; 43:10; 44:8; 45:5-6; 45:18; 46:9-10; Jer. 10:10; 16: We, of the Assembly of Yahweh, Cascade, are Yahwists (aka True Israelite). Only True Israelites adhere to the original Hebraic Biblical belief of Yahwism as it was held by the ancient Biblical Israelites, and as it was instructed to them throughout the Hebrew Bible by Yahweh s appointed and anointed prophets. We believe that only the Hebrew Bible contains the true inspired revealed words of the Almighty to man because many penned documents in the Hebrew Bible collection by their authors make that claim. The term Yahwistic means to be in harmony and agreement with Yahwism. The words Yahwism, Yahwists, and Yahwistic, all get their origin and meanings from the Hebrew name of the Almighty Sovereign Creator Power named Yahweh. For more on the Creator s name see the paragraph The Creator s Name below or follow this link "YHWH". There are many groups that may use the title Israel in their name but only those using the word True with the title Israel(ites) adhere to True Yahwism, the ancient Hebraic Belief as taught in the Hebrew Bible. Our Statements of belief is based only upon the foundational writings of the Hebrew Bible. We do omit the book of Esther and the book of Job because they are fictional writings and have no historical or a religious foundational basis. The book Esther is completely void of any inspired words and the book Job is full of man-made suppositions and unfounded opinions. We accept and use in our foundational writings portions of the historical Greek NT writings but include only those letters most likely to have been originally penned by a direct witnesses to some of the historical events, this information is found mostly in the Synoptic Gospels. Some of the sayings and the teachings of the First Century Prophet to Israel named Yahshua (incorrectly known as Jesus the Christ) may also have historical value. However, we judge the Greek NT writings as reliable only when what is taught in it, is confirmed to follow the principles first established and set down in the original Hebrew Bible. In this regard, we adhere to the admonition in Deut. 4:2 See How to test a Prophet We do not recognize the Paul/Saul of the Greek NT as a true chosen Apostle, or of the 12 Apostles (see Acts 1:21-26). We believe Paul/Saul is a want-to-be self appointed Apostle. His writings are not in any way inspired by Yahweh, and to his credit he does do not claim they are. At times we use Paul/Saul s writings as examples of First Century man-made error and false conjecture. Most of Paul/Saul s beliefs are a continuum of ancient Pharisaic traditions of his time, mixed with early primitive pagan beliefs that misrepresent and falsely color the historical Yahwistic monotheistic belief taught in the Hebrew Bible and to ancient Biblical Israel. Statement of Belief Page 1 of 16

2 The historic Yahwism beliefs as recorded in the Hebrew Bible by the ancient Israelites originated from Israel s early paternal forefathers Abraham, Isaac and then Jacob/Israel. These beliefs are confirmed by the chosen inspired Prophets throughout the entire Hebrew Bible. These basic beliefs and principles are faithfully established and set own only in the writings of the Hebrew Bible. They are NOT founded upon any Greek NT writings of opinions, on the Jewish Talmud, the Kabala, the Book of Mormon, the Koran, not on any other man-made Christian Doctrine, the Pauline opinions, or on any other man-made standard of religious belief. Reliability of the Hebrew Bible and the Greek writings: We have discovered over many years of comparative study, that all commonly used English Bible translations of today are in reality mostly 'interpretations' of the available Hebrew scrolls or the Greek NT writings. We have also discovered that all English translations and interpretations from the oldest available copies of the Hebrew Bible or the Greek NT writings contain error, without exception. Some even contain deliberate deceptions, some have been re-worded or translated in the attempt to support particular preconceived Christian doctrines developed by men. To discover such errors requires diligent study, using where possible, the oldest languages of Ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek, along with all available comparative language studies of the language in consideration and the use of various alternate translations and interpretations. We also support the use of all available comparative internet resources for use as study references. Often we will find the answer to a question within the correct understanding of the document. See How to study Scripture We believe that the proper definition of a word in the ancient language will be directly related to the culture of the time, where, when, and why the writing was penned. A written word may have several different meanings depending upon the culture that is using it, and definitions may change over time. In order to understand the correct definition of the Hebrew words from the ancient Hebrew or Greek language it is important that we first understand the times and culture of the people. For this reason we also strive to understand the customs of the ancients when we study the Hebrew Bible or the Greek writings in order to discover the foundation for truth. It is commonly held by many people unfamiliar with Hebrew or the Hebrew Bible, that the Bible is a brief accurate compilation of the entire history of the Universe and our solar system it contains the History of all life and man-kinds. This is a completely false and a naive assumption. The Universe has predated our solar system by infinitum period, and as long as the Creator Himself has existed His Creation has also existed. We do not believe that the Almighty Creator had a beginning because it stands to reason, that the Universe must have always existed along with its Originator. We believe the Universe is filled with life, is active, and always changing, but that it has always existed in one form or in another, and it exists without time and limits. We do believe that our planet and its solar system did have an origin hundreds, but most likely many thousands of thousands of ages ago. We also have no doubt that the Almighty has created Life-Forms throughout his entire Created Universe. The Hebrew Bible records visitations in its written record of celestial beings interacting with our ancient Hebraic fathers as they were instructed to do by the Almighty Sovereign Creator of them all. The Hebrew Bible is simply a condensed snap-shot mostly of our planet, and its solar system. The book of Genesis (Origins) is NOT about the Creation of the endless timeless Universe, but only about our planet we call earth, the sky above it, the then coming visibility of the moon, the planets, and star filled sky, (heavens). Genesis also includes a brief synopsis of the formation and origin of living things on it, how the earth was commanded to produce vegetation, Gen. 1:11-12, and ground dwelling animals with man-like creatures, water dwellers, and fliers in its sky, Gen. 1: Genesis provides a very brief history of the creation of Adam-man, and his Adamite descendants, and how they were created as male and female, Gen. 1:26-27, and in the shadow (or pattern) of Yahweh s celestial Alueim (His Angels), the Celestial messengers, or Powers. Genesis is specifically declared to be the book of the genealogy of Adam- man in the day that the Adamic Statement of Belief Page 2 of 16

3 family of man was made-formed in the pattern of the celestial Alueim, as Yahweh instructed them to do, Gen. 5:1-2. Genesis is not the history of all of the man-kinds or of all the dwellers (two and four legged) that have lived and some have died on our planet throughout its past history. Many life forms have come, lived, and have disappeared from the soil of our planet, leaving a few tiny remnants for scientific interest and to challenge beliefs. The Hebrew Bible history continues from the genealogy of the Adamic line into the line of Adam s son Seth, then through to Noah, and through Noah s son Shem (the origin of the Semitic line of people) that survived the regional flood of Noah occurring at the time. From Noah s son Shem we get the descendants of Heber, Gen. 10: The Hebrew history then goes on to the family of Abraham, then though is son Isaac and Isaac s son Jacob, who was renamed Israel. Jacob who Yahweh renamed Israel is the progenitor of the descendants of the Adamic line of people who became know in the Hebrew Bible as the Israelites. The Hebrew Bible therefore is the family History of Israel, how Yahweh chose these people for His own to lead and to nurture them so that their experience throughout their history would become a beacon and example for righteous living, how they would be blessed when they remained in harmony with their Almighty, and how disobedience would lead to demise. Yet even by all their offenses, how by grace only Yahweh restored them back into his household through sincere repentance and by their renewed obedience to His Covenant. We believe that only the Hebrew Bible contains the preserved record, the reliable history, the foundational and infallible authoritative instructions from Yahweh as delivered through His prophets for His elect and chosen people, the ancient Israelites. The Hebrew Bible has been preserved by Him through the ages to provide ancient Israel and the True Israelites today with the same knowledge of His attributes, understanding, wisdom, and truth, (Psalm 119:97-104; Deut. 6:4-9, 8:3). Those who choose to trust in Him, who will live in accordance with His will, demonstrate faithfulness, live righteously, and desire to keep His Sabbath and the 10 Commandments (the original Covenant with ancient Israel) receive His protection, and will become part of His heavenly household. Upon death they will gain life everlasting, (II Sam. 22:31+; Prov. 30:5, Isa. 56). A sound historical study will prove that most of the content in the current Greek New Testament (NT) was compiled by the Constantine Roman Catholic Church in the middle of the 3 rd Century CE. The Greek NT began from a collection of disjointed First Century letters gathered by a Greek tycoon by the name of Marcion who had a hatred toward First Century Talmudic Phariseeism that had become an exclusive religion of Yahudi controlled traditions rather than Biblical beliefs for use of the Public. Over time, this collection was eventually acquired by the Romans and their Emperor Constantine, who saw it as a seed religion that could be beneficial to unify various religious groups throughout his Empire. Over time his appointed pagan priests modified the disjointed collection of letters into an acceptable Roman State Religion and Catholicism was born. Eventually Catholicism became known as Christianity. The religion of Christianity was forced upon the then entire Roman Empire (under threat of death to those rejecting it). Some portions of the available Greek writings have been altered and additions have been added by transcribers to support strongly held pagan doctrines under the influence of the Emperor Constantine and his cohorts. During that time and even up to today the collection has been re-written many times through translation from Aramaic, into Greek, then into Latin and into English. Many First Century documents were also been hidden or destroyed by the Roman Church and kept from the masses. The Roman Catholic Church that developed under the orders of Constantine has in effect personified many historical but ancient primitive pagan G-ds and religious concepts and then blended them into the one acceptable G-d-man personage of the prophet Yahshua (Jesus) of the Greek NT. The original Yahwism (Israelism) of the Hebrew Bible became corrupted Talmudic Phariseeism (now known as Judaism) which was replaced by Catholicism (Christianity). Statement of Belief Page 3 of 16

4 Hebrew Names, the Almighty Sovereign Creator, His name and attributes: We believe that the original Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek names of all individuals in The Hebrew Bible should be correctly transliterated to reflect the close sounds of the ancient languages using English letters (as applicable, and where possible). Names should not be deliberately mistranslated, replaced or substituted with unsupported English words as has become prevalent in many English Bible translations. Substituting Hebrew names hides the many important Hebrew meanings of the names many of which contain important compound meanings. The personal proper and True Name of the Almighty Sovereign Eternal Creator Power Life-Force Essence of all that exists is named YHWH (Hebrew letters). His name is pronounced (by transliteration) into English as YaH-Weh (Yahweh). This is His name as was given BY HIM to us, the people of True Israel. This name is to be spoken (as a memorial) to all generations and this name should be made known to and used by all true Yahwistic believers (Exodus 3:15). The name YHWH (Yahweh) means He-Exists or He-Is or the Ever- Living in Hebrew. We believe that Yahweh has also revealed Himself to us as "I AM" (A-HWH) as found in the written record, (Ex. 3:14-15). He says to us AH-WeH (I AM) we say to Him YaH-WeH (He Is). The personal proper name Yahweh originates from the Hebrew verb HWH (being, to be, or to Exist). HWH is the Hebrew verb of being in all tenses, the past, the present, and the future. The addition of the prefix Y (or Yod) adds the pronoun He to the verb HWH (see also Strong s H1933). The Creator s Hebrew name YHWH is pronounced in English as Yahweh, the German yes sound (YaH) connected to the we sound (WeH) like the English word we-t but omitting the t sound. The weh sound of the Yahweh s name is NOT pronounced as Yah- way. Yahweh is commonly referred to in error by the term pagan term G-d or Lord. Yahweh has declared Himself in the Hebrew Bible to be Echad meaning One entity (Deut. 6:4), and He has further revealed Himself to be Father, and is the one (set-apart) Essence. Father as in Deut. 32:6; Ps. 2:7, 68:5, 89:26. Life-Force as in Gen. 1:2, 6:3. The Father Yahweh and the Christian Holy Spirit (Life-Force Essence) are One and the same since there is only One Creator-Life-Force Ever-Living Eternal Essence. We reject the Christian Trinity or the belief in three persons existing in the One being, or in a oneness G-d-head being or in a two-belief being (that Jesus is also Yahweh). Such G-d-man theology is false and a primitive pagan belief that is completely foreign to almost everything taught in the Hebrew Bible. Yahweh rules over all that has ever existed, exists now and will ever exist. He only is omnipotent, omnipresent, unchangeable, and the all-knowing Creator Power. He is above all and to whom only we owe our reverence and worship, (Deut. 6:14-15). He is the only true Mighty One. Yahweh is Sovereign over the Alueim (the created powers); He is One Power, (Isa. 43:10, 44:6). "Hear O Israel, Yahweh our Alueim (Mighty One), Yahweh is One! (Deut. 4:35, 39, 6:4). There is no other Power or Life-Force Essence in the Universe (all of Creation) but the One named Yahweh. Yahweh is in full and absolute control over all of Eternity and over all of His Creation at all times (Isa. 46:10); Yahweh is the Original Originator Creator and Life-Force Essence over good and bad, (Isa. 45:7, 54:16; Prov.16: 4); Yahweh controls both. We believe that the words holy spirit (set-apart breath) are English adjectives simply describing the mighty power and influence of Yahweh, The words holy spirit are a man-made reference to Him, since Yahweh is a pure and a non-physical Essence. Yahweh is holy spirit (the Life-Force Essence). Yahweh is without physical body and without any physical properties at all, yet He has revealed Himself to us (True Israelites) through His many attributes, and through His Created messengers (angels), and through His anointed Prophets. There is only One Holy (set apart) Almighty Sovereign Power Life-Force Essence, His name is Yahweh, and there is no other. Thus saith Yahweh the King of Israel and Israel s redeemer Yahweh of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me..there are no Alueim! (no other G-ds or powers), Isaiah 44:6.

5 General and Special Revelation: Yahweh has provided us (His chosen created intellectual beings) with two distinct records or resources through which He reveals His Eternal uniqueness, His character, His attributes, and His Sovereignty. The First, is through the physical record as found in what is commonly referred to as the Natural Sciences, we call it the General Revelation (Ps. 19:1-7). This is the physical/natural scientific record and it is an example to us of order, of design, of planning, and of the purpose for the entire Universe of all that exists or will ever exist. This is undeniable physical evidence of Yahweh s eternal existence and His Sovereignty over all of it. The Second is through the written record as is found recorded in the Hebrew Bible. This written record is Yahweh s Special Revelation. It is a summarized historical record of His dealing with specific selected individuals and a specific chosen people, and it includes the brief history of the special creation of Adamicman (Gen. 5:1). In this record we find His covenant/contract with a particular chosen people beginning with the descendants of Adamic-man, and then continuing through the specific Adamic-man that was named Adam that continues through his descendants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who was renamed Israel. The written record of Yahweh s Special Revelation is an account preserved and specifically provided for the ancient descendants of the Hebrew people called Israelites and for their progeny (Ps. 19:7-11). We believe however, that this record is also provided to all those to whom Yahweh chooses to reveal it and accept it. These two records, the General Revelation and the Special Revelation are complementary and they must be in complete and in full harmony with each other. The physical record is the undeniable evidence of a superior being in design and in planning. The General Revelation is the recorded writings that have been preserved through Yahweh s power and authority through His chosen messengers the Prophets, the Patriarchs, and the inspired descendants of Jacob/Israel. Together these two records contain the necessary and complete source for all that is truth and forms the complete and the sound foundation for our belief, for our understanding, for our wisdom, for our knowledge, and for worship. These records also provide us with the necessary answers, instructions, and laws that we need in order to gage all of the issues of life and civility, and to live a righteous moral and productive life in accordance with the recorded written will of Yahweh. We believe that the nature of Yahweh and His revelation to Adamic-man cannot be found in any Oral Traditions formulated by men, or by any additions to, or by the mystic craftiness of man-made religions. All man-made religions with their additions and conjectures are subject to the corrupt nature and pride of men. The true nature of Yahweh can only be found in these two records that He has given His Creatures. This will always be confirmed in us by His Life-Force Essence (neshamah) that enters into and subsequently dwells deep within all True Israelite believers, upon belief. Those that sincerely seek Him will look for revealed truth. Pre-adam races, adam-kinds, and Adamic-man 'Adam' aw-dam (in Hebrew) means to be ruddy, to show blood in the face, i.e., to blush, or turn rosy (see Strong's H119). The race descending from the individual named Adam and his wife named Eve are called Adamites (coming from the Adam-man race). Adam and his wife Eve were of the race now commonly known as the Caucasian or white race. Only those of the white adam-kind races have the ability to blush, that is, for their face to turn rosy from the red color of blood visible in their faces. In the Biblical account Adam was called a son of YHWH a (Yahweh). Because Adam a Hebrew word YHWH is the proper name of the Almighty Sovereign Creator, pronounced as YaHWeH in English. YHWH has the English meaning of He-Is, He-Exists or Ever-Existing, Statement of Belief Page 5 of 16

6 was called a son of Yahweh, by the Almighty Sovereign Creator Power Life-Force Essence that designed the entire known and unknown Universe, it would also follow that his descendants, those called the Adamite, would also be referred to as the children of Yahweh, (Psalm 82:6; Hos. 1:10). The early pre-adam (non-blushing kind) races, (eesh in Hebrew) and later the adam-kind (blushingkind races) were all created by the Alueim (Yahweh s celestial beings) under the direct authority and control of the Creator Yahweh during the sixth age of creation (Gen. 1:24-25). This was many ages before Yahweh formed the Adamic-man race from the first individual named Adam and his wife Eve. We believe that the individual named Adam and his wife Eve were specifically selected from the original adam-kind Alueim created race of (Gen. 1:27, but that they were re-formed this time by Yahweh s Life-Force Essence Himself, (see Gen. 2:7) at the end of the sixth age. This was about 6,000+ years BCE, according to the genealogical history of Adamic-man as recorded in the records of the Hebrew Bible. Some of the ancient pre-adam races have long ago perished or have been eliminated from our planet, but some may still remain. According to the Hebrew Bible all of the remaining current races now existing on our planet have a diverse purpose in the ultimate plan of Yahweh. They have not all have descended from the pre-adam races or the adam-kind races or from the race of Adamic-man. Some however, may have acquired a portion of Adam s genetics by way of miscegenation throughout their ancient racial history. Pre-history Flood: In an ancient age of time some of the pre-adam and adam-kind races dwelling on the earth at the time of Adamic-man forced themselves onto some daughters of the Adamic descendants, (Gen. 6:1-2). This resulted in the development of a corrupted race of people who were continuously wicked, (Gen. 6:5-6; 11-12). This wicked and adulterating race became intolerable to Yahweh and it resulted in a destruction by way of an area wide flood commonly called Noah s flood (Gen. 6:13, 14). The planet during its early formation was at one time covered with water, as indicated by the scientific record, but Noah s flood as recorded in Gen. 7 was not global, it was regional. It was however significant enough that it destroyed the mixed-race wicked descendants of the man-kind with the Adamite mixture dwelling on the land covered by the flood. Noah was a righteous man, pure in his genealogy (Gen. 6:8-9); his wife, his three sons, and their wives because of their righteous and perfect genealogy were saved. After the flood, Yahweh renewed the Adamic line through Noah s son Seth. Noah was considered by Yahweh to be righteous and "blameless" in his genealogy, he was perfect, complete, and pure in lineage, (Gen. 6:8-9). Yahweh established a covenant with Noah and his family never again to destroy the land with such a flood (Gen. 9:8). From Noah and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the whole land that was covered by the flood was repopulated with the Adamic people (Gen. 9:19). From the three sons of Noah, according to their generations the Adamic people re-populated the land that was flooded. The flood event of Noah is recorded in the history of man-kind races however many of them were not directly affected by the flood, even though they have knowledge of it. The flood of Noah s time was limited in area because the physical scientific record of the General Revelation along with the historical records of the flood recorded by many pre-adamic man-kind races does not support a global flood theory. The word earth when used in English translations (as in to cover the whole earth does not translate into word planet. The word earth is a reference to the soil, the ground or the land area covered by flood water. Statement of Belief Page 6 of 16

7 The Covenants, Abraham through the prophet Yahshua: Yahweh then chose Abraham, a descendant of Shem, a descendant of Seth, a son of Adam, (Gen. 11:10-26) from the Adamic race, and made an unconditional unilateral promise to him of greatness, of lands, of descendants, and of blessings, (Gen. 12:1-3). The same promise (a Covenant) is reaffirmed and renewed in Gen. 15:1-21; 17:4-21; 22:15-18; and given to Isaac, son of Abraham, (Gen. 26:3-24) and again renewed and given to Jacob/Israel son of Isaac, (Gen. 28:13-15; 35:9-12). The land-grant covenant eventually grew from a land area walked by Abraham, to a land area that he was able to see, to the land that covered the entire planet. As promised to the descendants of Abraham, the Adamic people are now found over our entire planet. Yahshua Mashiach (Jesus, Messiah, Christ): See also Addendum B: Human Sacrifice is Not Biblical The proper personal and True Name of the First Century prophet to dispersed Israel as written in the Greek writings is Yahshua (some in error still call him Jesus). The Hebrew name Yahshua means "Yahweh is salvation or Yahweh Saves in English. Yahshua s message to First Century Israel is revealed in his name, that Yahweh is Savior (Matt. 19:17). Yahshua was the anointed First Century prophet (a Messiah) one of many that Yahweh has sent over times to bring back Israel when they stray. The Hebrew name Yahshua should be used by and made known to all true believers, not Jesus. See our Document: We also do not accept the miss-translated and miss-represented name Yeshua, or Y shua. Both these forms are used by Jews to hide the name Yah which is the short form of Yahweh, the name of the Almighty found in the name Yahshua the prophet. The name Jesus is an adulterated form that comes from the Hebrew name that has been transliterated into Greek, then through Latin into English. In the transliteration process, the true meaning of the name Yahshua is lost. Yahshua is NOT Yahweh the Father, (the Almighty Sovereign). Yahshua was born of Mary and Joseph, and was a physical descendant (a seed) of King David as promised (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23; Luke 1:30-37). Yahshua received the authority of a first born son through his obedience as commissioned by Yahweh s full acceptance (Matt. 3:16-17). From then on, Yahshua became the appointed anointed Prophet to First Century Israel a prophet through whom Yahweh revealed and made himself known. Yahshua was a son of Yahweh and a son of man, Yahshua is NOT Yahweh the son. All those that do the will of the Father Yahweh become brothers, sisters, and mothers of Yahshua, (Matt. 12: 50) if brothers, sisters of Yahshua, they must also be sons and daughters of Yahweh, and of His heavenly house-hold, (Matt. 7: 21). The Hebrew Bible reveals to us how Yahweh sends out His Prophets at His appointed times to save His people Israel from error, and how He delivers them from sin resulting from violations of their covenant/contract with Him when they repent, (Exodus 24:3). The covenant/contract provides blessings for obedience (Deut. 28:1-14) and curses for disobedience (Deut. 28:15-68). Disobedience to the covenant/contract could result in their destruction, but because Yahweh is gracious, full of compassion, slow to anger and of great mercy (Ps 145:8). Yahweh over and over again provides the means to bring back His people through His appointed Prophets. The prophet Yahshua was Yahweh s enlightenment to the lost tribes of First Century Israel (Matt. 15:24), living in the land of Yahud (Southern Kingdom) that had become enslaved by the corrupted Edomite priesthood, and by the traditions of the Pharisees (Matt. 4:14-17). Yahshua was sent by Yahweh to provide Statement of Belief Page 7 of 16

8 Israel and us (by kinship descent) an example for correct living in obedience to the covenant/contract that we as faithful True Israel must keep with Him. Yahshua also came to announce the good news of the Kingdom (meaning to council) of heaven, i.e., Council of Yahweh. (Matt. 4:23). By trusting, believing in, and by becoming doers of the word (Matt. 7) and by imitating the life example of obedience to the Father that Yahshua demonstrated in his life, we as True Israelites can also renew our covenant/contract relationship with Yahweh our heavenly Father. This involves repentance; learning how to keep the 10 Commandments of the covenant correctly; how to find and reject the additions of men added to the Hebrew Bible; how to discard false doctrine, and how to seek and find the correct path that leads to the Kingdom that to the path of eternal life. Through our faithfulness, we are redeemed by Him, (Matt. 7:21). In the First Century Yahshua was sent to deliver or rescue the house (house-hold) of Israel from the coming destruction under Rome, (Matt. 15:24). Yahshua came to deliver (save) those that had lost their way (Matt. 18:11; Jer. 50:6), and to rebuild the spiritual house (household) of Yahweh, II Sam. 7:13). Through Yahshua s example on the planet he became a light to re-enlighten the tribes of Israel and their descendants, and to be a glory to True Israel, (Luke 2:30-32); to announce the coming of the Kingdom (council) of heaven, i.e., Council of Yahweh. Yahshua prophesied the eminent coming destruction of the Temple (the old but pagan worship system) and of Jerusalem by Rome, (Matt. 24:10), all which was fulfilled in 70 CE. The Kingdom of YHWH/of Heaven The Israelites of the First Century who believed in the prophetic message of Yahshua were delivered (saved) from physical destruction by leaving the city of Jerusalem before the final advance and occupation of the Roman army; by doing so, they become the last and final Diaspora (dispersion) of Israel. True Israel (the people of Yahweh) has subsequently spread throughout all the nations of the globe (Matt. 24). Yahshua was faithful to his mission and an example on how to keep the 10 Commandments (the Covenant/Contract) of Yahweh. The Greek writings and witnesses confirm the indwelling power of Yahweh s Life-Force essence dwelling in him by his miracles (Matt. 11:20-21, 13:58); Because he was faithful to his appointed mission, it resulted in his execution, and by it he give his life as a ransom for many (Matt. 20:28). Yahshua was NOT some pagan sacrifice for sin. Yahweh condemns human sacrifice He only seeks sincere repentance to forgive the wayward sinner. Yahshua was resurrected from the dead by Yahweh (Matt. 28:5-7) for his faithfulness, and become the first born from the dead according to those witnessed by the ones who saw him following his resurrection (Luke 24:36-40). Yahshua is now exalted to the right hand of Yahweh. Power and authority has been given to him (Matt. 28:18). Redemption, Deliverance (Salvation), Eternal life: See also Addendum - A: Redemption, Deliverance, Eternal life Scripture tells us that the Almighty Sovereign Eternal Creator Power Yahweh is our only Redeemer and Savior of collective Israel, Isaiah 43: The whole of Israel includes the twelve original tribes of Israel and their descendants that have been scattered among all the nations of the globe since 721 BCE. The House of Israel and the House of Yahudah, are both lost in history until their time of their redemption and salvation as individuals, and some day together as a restored dispersed nation living among all the nations of the Globe, (Ezk. 6:8, 11:17; Hosea 1:9-11). The only hope of redemption for this collective and lost Israel, and for all of man-kind, comes by turning toward Yahweh the Almighty Sovereign. Through Him we can be forgiven and receive the pardoning of our sins through sincere repentance before Him. By returning toward the correct keeping of Yahweh s 10 Commandments (the Covenant/Contract) and by a return to faithfulness, the repentant sinner can then become an heir (a returning prodigal) to the house-hold of Yahweh and inherit eternal life. (Matt. 19:16-17). Statement of Belief Page 8 of 16

9 We believe in the words of Yahshua when he answered this specific question: And behold, one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. (Matt. 19:16-17). We believe that the inward evidence of one s repentance, redemption and subsequent faithfulness to Yahweh is the direct witness within them of Yahweh s Life-Force Essence, (Matt. 7:21, 24; 12:50). The outward evidence of repentant True Israel will result in a life of righteous living witnessed by the keeping of Yahweh s Covenant, The 10 Commandments. We believe that the stranger (the non-israelite) also has a place in the house-hold of Yahweh and to life eternal if he joins himself to Yahweh, in the same manner as any Israelite (Isaiah 56:3, 5); everyone that keeps the Shabbat/Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant. (Isaiah 56:6). He (Yahweh) will make them joyful in His house (household) of prayer (Isaiah 56:7). When one becomes a keeper of Yahweh s 10 Commandments, the Covenant/Contract with Yahweh is re-established, and that individual becomes a newly born True Israelite in common with any natural or blood born Israelite, and an heir to the all the promises. The errors of Replacement theology: Yahshua (Jesus) was never a Human Sacrifice (a human penalty payment) for the pleasure of Yahweh or for obtaining Yahweh s forgiveness. Yahshua was never sent to First Century Israel to become a Human Sacrifice for their sin, or the sins of the globe or for the sin of anyone. The belief in human sacrifice is a pure pagan continuum, and a violation of Yahweh s law to Israel. Furthermore, according to Yahshua himself, he had the authority to forgive the sins of men simply by saying so. He demonstrated this authority by healing a man sick of the palsy (Matt. 9:6). Yahweh calls the pagan practice of Human sacrifice something that He hates; that it is an abomination to Him, "for every abomination to Yahweh (Yahweh), which he hateth, have they done unto their G-ds; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt (sacrificed) in the fire to their G-ds. (Deut. 12:30-31). Yahweh tells Israel that Human sacrifice is such a horrible concept to Him, that it did not even come into His mind or to demand it from His people: "They have built also the high places of Baalm (heathen g-d), to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind." (Jeremiah 19:4-6). This means that Yahweh would never accept His appointed and anointed son Yahshua s death on a pagan stake as a sacrifice (blood payment) for the forgiveness of another person s sin, (Psalm 106:37-38; Ezekiel 16:20). The very idea of that Yahweh the Almighty Sovereign Creator requires human or animal sacrifice in order to forgive sins is not found in the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew Bible is the foundation of Yahwism and we believe that the principles in it are clear and are consistent. One person cannot die as a payment for the sins of another. This means that the guilt from the sins committed by one person cannot be wiped out by the punishment given to another person. In Exodus 32:30-35, Moses asks Yahweh to punish him for the sin committed by the people for making a Golden Calf (an idol). Yahweh tells Moses that the person(s) who committed the sin is the person(s) who must receive the punishment. Yahweh states this as a basic principle: "Every man shall be put to death [or punished] for his own sins." (Deuteronomy 24:16). This concept is repeated by the Prophets: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die... the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." (Ezekiel 18:20). From primitive pagan Christian traditions into Israelite Scriptural Yahwism: Blood sacrifices (penalty payments for sins requiring spilled blood) were never a precondition made before Yahweh would or could forgive someone. There are many Scriptural examples that show this, but an Statement of Belief Page 9 of 16

10 important example is found in the Book of Leviticus. It is interesting and enlightening because it comes in the middle of the discussion of sin sacrifices (penalty payments): "If, however, he cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, he is to bring as an offering (penalty payment) for his sin a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering." (Leviticus 5:11-13). It is easy to see that a blood sacrifice, where an animal dies, is not always necessary for the forgiveness of sin. Other items can be and were used for payment. In the Book of Jonah 3:10, Scripture simply states that Yahweh saw the works and hearts of the people of Ninevah. Specifically it says that Yahweh saw in their works that they stopped doing being wicked, and so Yahweh forgave them. There are many other Scriptural examples, but the idea that one needs a blood sacrifice (blood payment), i.e., the killing of a man or of an animal before a sin against Yahweh can be forgiven is not found in the Hebrew Bible and is of primitive pagan origin. Angels, satan, devils, demons, and hell: See also Addendum B: satan, devils, demons The term angel as used in the Bible means messenger. The Greek word aggelos translated angels can also refer to earthly Adamic messengers. When referring to a celestial (non-earthly being) or earthly messengers, they are sent by Yahweh to communicate with men, or simply to do the will of their Almighty Creator and Sovereign on earth. Since celestial angels are of Yahweh s nature, they are sinless and cannot die, since sin brings death. According to the Bible, celestial angels can appear to look just like ordinary men. Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all. (Psalm 103:19). Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word. (Psalm 103:20). Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure. (Psalm 103:20). Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army! (Psalm 148:2). Yahweh does all His works by His Life-Force Essence through His appointed messengers. (Psalms 104:4). It is impossible that the Almighty Sovereign Creator of all would permit His messengers to become disobedient to Him. If Yahweh s created messenger could sin, then Yahweh would be left completely impotent to act in the affairs of His Created Universe. There is no such thing as good celestial angels competing with bad celestial angels. All do the expressed will of their Almighty Sovereign Creator. The term satan as used in the Hebrew Bible simply means adversary, or opponent. The word satan in Hebrew is not a name but refers to a position someone has taken by becoming an adversary or opponent to someone else. Even Yahweh can at times become an adversary, or an opponent. Compare 2 Sam. 24:1 with the identical account in 1Chron. 21:1. The Hebrew concept of a satan is radically different from the idea of the Devil or Demons (invented and only found) in the Greek NT writings. In the Hebrew Bible, a satan (an angel adversary) only has power when so granted by Yahweh Himself, the Almighty Sovereign Creator Power. A satan (a celestial adversary) has no authority in and of himself, but is placed in an adversarial position by his Creator Yahweh to do what he is told to do. In the Hebrew Bible, only Yahweh has the supreme power, and only Yahweh has the power over good and bad, (see Isaiah 45:5-7). Note: In the Greek NT Bible the Greek word daimon (demon) is associated with the English meaning to teach or to distribute knowledge. This Greek word is where we get our English word demon-strate from. In the Greek NT Bible the word daimon (demon) has developed into a negative connotation, to refer to a pagan deity (a man-made idol, or false belief) but historically it was a neutral word with no good or bad connection. The word demon is often mistranslated in error by the English word devil. However, the Greek word diabolos (devil) has the literal English meaning of a through-thrower or to throwthrough. The Greek word bolos is where we get the English word ball from, and the Greek word dia means through as in the English word dia-meter. In Greek the word is used as one that accuses, or slanders or maligns another. In English the word has become devil and has been used as a name, often times used interchangeably and incorrectly with the word demon or incorrectly as a reference to the word Statement of Belief Page 10 of 16

11 satan. The words satan, devil, or demon are NOT proper names of individual beings, but are actually positions or attitudes taken by anyone, a terrestrial (mortal) being, or a celestial (angelic-type). Sometimes also used as a reference to conditions or situations where primitive men need to define unexplained bad things or bad events. In order for someone to believe that a satan, a devil, or a demon, exists with the power and authority to challenge his own Creator, they would also have to believe that there is more than ONE Almighty Sovereign Eternal Creator or Eternal Power in the heavens, (Isaiah 43:10). Such a belief would be polytheism, which is foreign to the truth that is found in the Hebrew Bible. Prior to Moses, many Israelites had become influenced by the pagan nations around them, and were worshiping false G-ds, devils (idols). Polytheism, and idol (devil) worship is of a pure pagan origin. Furthermore, it would be an oxymoron and completely absurd for Yahweh, who is the Almighty Sovereign Eternal Creator Power of all things to be challenged by one of His own created Alueim beings, (Isaiah 46:9-10). To properly understand the Greek NT concept of a satan, a devil, or of demons, it would help to know the culture which fabricated them into the society where they were believed to exist. Demon or devil possession in early Hebrew/Aramaic cultures can be attributed to an ignorance of basic mental and physical infirmities and disease of the time. These misunderstood mental illnesses were also attributed to demon or devil possession at the time of Yahshua (Jesus). Such conditions today can be diagnosed in modern terminology as physical illness. Today many are cured by drugs, yet they involved the same symptoms as were notable in ancient cultures. Yahshua simply took advantage of the vernacular of the time as can be seen in the following passages: Matt. 12:22, Then was one brought unto him possessed with a devil. (vernacular of the time, possessed with a devil), diagnosis today blind and dumb. Mark 5:1-, No man could bind him. crying, and cutting himself with stones (vernacular of the time, a man with an unclean spirit), diagnosis today a mental condition, insanity, schizophrenia. Mark 9:17-27 He teareth himself and he foameth and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away., (vernacular of the time, hath a dumb spirit), diagnosis today he has epilepsy. Luke 13:11-17, A woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. (vernacular of the time, spirit of infirmity), diagnosis today she had arthritis. See also John 10:20; Mark 3:2, where he hath a devil and is mad means simply he is beside himself. Hell No: There is no such place as an everlasting or eternal place of torture called Hell for the wicked, the unbeliever, or the unrepentant sinner. The Hebrew word Sheol is the word that is sometimes translated as Hell in English translations, but the word by Hebrew definition means; grave or place of the dead. It is the place where the body goes when someone dies. It is the same for both the good and bad. The plain fact is, everyone goes to the grave or to hell after death. If there was a place of eternal torture like hell even the wicked would have eternal life. The Hebrew Scripture does not contain the concept of the eternal Christian Hell. Most new translations have completely eliminated the word Hell from the Hebrew Bible as honest and better scholarship has demanded. They are now substituting hell with the correct word grave. The importance of this fact cannot be over-emphasized. If a new doctrine does not appear as seed form in the foundational books of the Hebrew Bible, i.e. the Prophets, the Law, the Psalms, the writings, etc., we will not use it or teach it as a foundational doctrine supported in Scripture. Judgment and reward according to the Hebrew Bible: We believe that built into the heart of most individuals, in almost every society, and in most religious belief systems, we will find a sense of accountability and a basic fundamental belief that the righteous will be Statement of Belief Page 11 of 16

12 rewarded and the wicked will be punished. Biblically this confirms an expectation of judgment: "Far be it from You (Yahweh) to do such a thing... treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge (Yahweh) of all the earth do right?" (Genesis 18:25) "I Yahweh search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve," (Jeremiah 17:10). "Does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?" (Proverbs 24:12). Yahweh has written his moral law on the hearts of all Adamic-man, and for Adam-kinds it is part of the natural General Laws that is given by Yahweh to regulate and establish order; that within each there is found an inborn sense that all will be judged in light of Yahweh s General Laws. We believe that Yahweh is fully aware of every aspect of our lives and will overlooks nothing in our judgment, except for the repentant sinner. Nothing in all creation is hidden from His sight. Everything is uncovered and must lay bare before him to whom we must give account. "For Yahweh will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or bad," (Ecclesiastes 12:14). There will be a time of judgment for all in the age to come, at a place and in a time known only to the Almighty Sovereign Creator Power of all. Circumcision and the Abraham Covenant/Contract: Yahweh had a Covenant/Contract with our progenitor Abraham. As for you, you and your offspring to come throughout the ages shall keep My covenant. Such shall be the covenant between me and you and your offspring to follow which you shall keep: every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and that shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you" (Gen. 17:6-11). Yahweh added this physical sign that Abraham and all his male descendants would carry throughout their generations. In addition, the man and his wife upon seeing the circumcision of the male would be reminded that they as children of Abraham are the chosen people of the Almighty Sovereign Creator whose revealed name is Yahweh and that He is their Almighty Sovereign. We believe that throughout our generations, every male among you [us] shall be circumcised at the age of eight days. As for the home born slave and the one bought from an outsider who is not of your offspring, they must be circumcised, home born and purchased alike. Thus shall My covenant be marked in your flesh as an everlasting pact. And if any male who is uncircumcised fails to circumcise the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his kin; he has broken My covenant (Gen. 17:12-14). The weekly Shabbat/Sabbath: We believe that Yahweh (through the Alueim) ceased from His Creation work on the seventh age (Gen. 2:2), a period of unknown duration since the physical record indicates many eons of time passed between the various seven ages (Ps 90:4). Following this pattern period of ages Yahweh instituted the Sabbath day as a day of rest for Adamic man and commanded Israelites to keep a seventh-day pause for all generations (Exodus 20:8, 31:14-16; Deut. 5:12-15). The Sabbath is also a sign of Yahweh's covenant with His people Israel, (Exodus 31:12-13; Ezk. 20:12, 20). Yahshua confirmed that the weekly Sabbath remains in effect and that the Sabbath should be kept during this present age as well, (Ezk. 44:24). We believe that the Sabbath is the day that Yahweh has set aside for assembly (Lev. 23:3) and that Yahshua himself assembled on the Sabbath for worship to our Father Yahweh (Luke 4:16); that the early Messianic True Israelite assemblies met on the Sabbath day for worship, instruction, singing and fellowship among the assembly of all true believers. We believe that the Roman calendar has not disrupted the weekly cycle, and that any weekly pattern can fulfill the weekly appointed day of rest regardless of the Roman name for the day. The Sabbath (sunset to sunset) is made for man to be a sign that Yahweh is our Alueim (Mighty One) and that we are His people (Exodus 31:13-17). We are to abstain from gainful employment during this day. In this way, the Sabbath is Statement of Belief Page 12 of 16
