"What must I do to be saved?"

     "And they said, Believe on the Master Yeshua Mashiyach, and you shall be saved, and your house.  And they spoke unto him the WORD of YHWH, and to all that were in his house.  And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.  And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in Elohim with all his house."  Acts 16:25-34

Believe on the Master Yeshua Mashiyach,

according to the Word of YHWH

Yeshua is Mashiyach

the Word of YHWH is Torah

(instruction in Righteousness).

To "Believe" means:

Repent of sin - turn to YHWH and observe His Torah.

Live by Faith - put our trust in YHWH and live according to active obedience to the Word of YHWH.

Bear Fruit -demonstrate the Love of the Father and teach others the Way of Yeshua.

Faith is the action of obedience,

the daily application of righteous judgment,

it's not a doctrine or cerebral "theology".

Believe on the Master Y'shua Mashiyach means to walk as he walked, walk in haMishchah (the anointing) of YHWH and be separated unto YHWH as a Priest and a King.  It's not about heroism, Y'shua isn't a "hero" but the Servant of all.  It's not about walking in someone else's "anointing" or teaching or serving in another man's "ministry."  Faith is about waiting on YHWH to receive your own personal anointing (Presence of the Spirit of Mashiyach) and nurturing your own relationship with YHWH.  We don't point souls to a "ministry" or organization or synagogue, we point them to Mashiyach Y'shua and encourage each one to have Torah written upon their hearts (Jeremiah 31:31-34).  YHWH brings souls into our personal lives so we can love them according to the Love He has given us and serve each one as unto Y'shua Mashiyach in Truth.  We have nothing of ourselves to give, what we have to give is what has been given to us according to the Spirit of Mashiyach because we are created in the Image of Elohim.  Grace is the power to walk in Truth and Holiness and become a Set Apart people.  Grace is what allows the Prophets of YHWH to be distinct and Kadosh even among a rebellious and stiff-necked people.  Grace is what allows us to walk in Torah and Observe the Commandments of YHWH.  Grace allows us to witness the power to heal and see deliverance of our own souls and help others find the Way of Freedom in Y'shua Mashiyach and Torah.

Believe on the Master Y'shua Mashiyach means to Do His Word, and rest in Him.  We trust Him that His Word is Truth and that He changes not.  He is the same today, yesterday and forever.  As we walk in Him it is His Grace that shows us we have passed from death to life in Y'shua.  We do not succumb to the weak flesh, by Grace we are able to put away the carnal man and watch the spiritual man come forward.   We don't judge the spiritual man by religion or by the traditions of men, the Word of YHWH is written upon our hearts, He removes the stony heart that in times past rejected His Torah and His Name and gives us a heart that desires all righteousness.  The Image of Elohim becomes our thought (image - ination)

We need not compare ourselves with others, as Grace is poured upon every soul who seeks Him.  It was a prostitute who showed more love for Mashiyach than the theologians of his day.  Grace is poured upon the poor and lowest of society, but neither are the rich neglected by YHWH.  However, the "outcasts" of society often experience treasures which the wealthy and high minded man will never know, because he is too busy to labour in spiritual things, and because the poor of the world are used by YHWH to test the rich.  We judge ourselves only by the standard of Y'shua and by the Grace He is providing us each day to be a Kedoshim (Holy People).

YHWH OWNS ALL TIME and commands that we demonstrate to HIM and to the world that Shabbat is a memorial of Creation and TIME itself.  How does this work?  Well, if you don't deny yourself during His time, then you are proving that you are the master of your own time.  All the theology and excuses you can come up with have been weighed in the balance and found wanting.  If you belong to Him, you enter into Shabbat rest, and this is why Isaiah and other prophets expressly prophecy about the Shabbat being observed during the Millennium.  The Shabbat is YHWH's choice of which Day he demands "visitation rights", it's not your choice to make as to when you will rest.  It is not a time where you have a punch clock to put in your time.  To uphold any other times, days or seasons is to follow the leading of tradition and paganism.  People are being rejected by their families and individuals in their backslidden churches because they want to enter into and experience the beauty of YHWH's Shabbat.  Some folks choose to observe Shabbat in secret because they don't want to bear the continual mocking and scorning from pastors, family and church people so in reality one's Belief and trust in Mashiyach and love of Torah is most challenged not by one's own desire for Truth but by the pressures to conform to the religious elements.

Our conversation is always to be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for He has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.  So that we may boldly say, YHWH is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.  Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the Word of Elohim: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.  Y'shua Mashiyach the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.  Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with foods, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.  Hebrews 13:5-8

May YHWH be with you,

B'shem Yeshua,

Baruch Ben Daniel

Part 2

Recognizing the Religious Elements:

How NOT to have a relationship with Mashiyach!

Y'shua spoke of religious leaders who would not enter into the Kingdom and who make it very difficult or impossible for others to enter.  Clearly this is the choice of many church people today they are modern Pharisees who do violence to the Kingdom of Elohim and think themselves of doing a service for Mashiyach.  The fact of the matter is that because they can so easily make light of the Truth that the Almighty YHWH has said that he has sent them strong delusion that they believe a lie.  In other words NO AMOUNT OF TRUTH will ever convince many religious people to turn from their religions.

What must I do to be saved?  Well that's one thing, but to mature onwards in Mashiyach you will most certainly need to stay clear of false brethren and keep a safe distance from family and friends who mock and scorn the Word of the Living Elohim.  Protect your Faith, nurture your Discipleship in Mashiyach, develop a strong spine that separates good from evil, don't cower to unbelief and unrighteousness.  While all about you people cave into the insanity of materialism, relativism, globalism, humanism and false religion, don't follow a multitude to do evil but let your imagination be focused in Mashiyach.

Salvation is understood through an organic relationship with Y'shua, we experience Salvation in Mashiyach as we see the victory over our sinful and carnal flesh.  We overcome by the Blood of the Lamb we do not continue in sin, we do not make light of our sinful nature, rather, we put all things into subjection to Y'shua Mashiyach and walk according to His Torah.  We know that we have passed from Death to Life when we KEEP His Commandments and His Commandments are not grievous or burdensome to us, but delight in Torah and teach others then we know HE is writing Torah upon our hearts, this is the work of the Ruach haKodesh (Set Apart Spirit).  Carnal religious Christians will tell you, "we don't have to keep Shabbat, we're not Jewish", one Christian said, "the Shabbat is not for today" and you can't argue with people like this, they are willfully lukewarm and ignorant of the Word of YHWH.  It's burdensome for many to stop making money, or shopping or doing recreational activity on Shabbat because YHWH and His Mashiyach are not a priority for them!  Mashiyach can't keep their attention except perhaps during prescribed religious meetings of finite duration because they are ultimately bored with the Malchut Elohim, and is their Rabbi and Pastor.  Religious people see life through a theology rather than a connection to Mashiyach and the Government of Mashiyach that raises the value of YHWH's authority over man's authority.  The parking lot clears out fast when the meeting is over, religious duty is done and they are on to what really sparks their imaginations.

Most religious people can never invest a whole day with Mashiyach because they haven't trained their spirit to rest in him, YHWH abides in His people on Shabbat.  Perhaps you're not Jewish, but if you think you are called to be a King and Priest then you ought to have some idea what Shabbat means.  Shabbat is a point in time and space where we enter into the Government of Mashiyach.  Mashiyach rested on the Seventh Day of Creation, after all was created HE RESTED which is also why Mashiyach is ADON (Lord) of Shabbat.  Shabbat is not a theology unless you want to become religious and turn it into a do and don't according to your religious ideals.  Shabbat is a CONNECTION to Mashiyach and a Covenant NEW BIRTH takes place in our Spirits when we stop our religion and enter into the PERFECTION of the Word of YHWH. 

Why do religious people make light of what is Set Apart unto YHWH?  Some "Believers" even mock those who are trying to hear the Voice of YHWH and enter into a relationship with Him.  Many religious people do a Torah service or a Christian service and then spend the rest of the day talking about their materialism and mundane worldly things, because they are not comfortable in the presence of YHWH.  YHWH is not their Father, He is a religious icon that they can discharge their duty from and keep on doing what is right in their own eyes.

Religions intellectualize and theorize the Malchut Elohim (Kingdom of Elohim) according to theology, doctrine, traditions and culture.  Religion is notorious for pitting the Word of YHWH (Torah) against Y'shua Mashiyach and using syncretism to meld  false religion into modern translations of Scriptures.  The WORD of YHWH came from the mouth of Y'shua Mashiyach, Y'shua is the Torah made flesh who dwelt among us.  Any person who teaches a contradiction between Y'shua and Torah is a false prophet and teacher who has not entered into the Malchut Elohim themselves.  The Word of YHWH cannot disagree or disapprove of Y'shua, nor does Y'shua ever deny Torah.  Yet the Church is full of anti-Torah false prophets and false teachers who pit Torah and Y'shua against each other, but they do this in a manipulative way.  The Christo-Pagan church teaches that the followers of Y'shua, namely Paul (the Apostle), were directed by the Almighty Father to fulfill Torah and their definition of fulfill is to make it void and hence turn the Faith which was Once Delivered into a mix of Hellenism, paganism, materialism and relativism.

Rabbinical Judaism works against the Malchut Elohim from the opposite position by separating the character and qualities of Y'shua from Torah, these folk teach a "traditional" Torah they reinvented for themselves.  The "Torah" of Rabbinical Judaism is man's authority and tradition (not YHWH's), it is Talmud and the halakha of men (oral tradition) that Rabbinical Jews follow as their god, not YHWH and certainly not His Mashiyach, they have fashioned a god in their own image.  For example Rabbis teach their followers that it is ok to break the Commandments by their tradition. 

TEN COMMANDMENTS:

NOT 10 Traditions

No. 1 YHWH says I AM YHWH, He didn't say, I am HaShem.  The reason we uphold His Name is because YHWH is our Salvation, He planted Yeshua (salvation) in our midst and set a Standard for how we are to live and love one another in Mashiyach.  But many people choose the authority of Rabbinical Judaism and politely address YHWH has HaShem because they would not want to offend the Rabbis or the religious institution status quo that commands that HaShem is the new "name" of YHWH.  This is a violation of Torah.

No. 2 Commandment according to the Rabbis is that YHWH is not the giver of the most important Torah, the Rabbis are, because they are the custodians of the "oral torah" which they hold to be more authoritative that the written Torah.  This is the iconic image of Rabbinical idolatry, their authority is their god of their own making.  This is a violation of Torah.

No. 3 Everybody knows YHWH sets His Name Apart from all others but not the Rabbis, who use Elokim, HaShem, Adonai or other substitutes because of their own authority over the Word of YHWH.  Rabbis have made their own idol which they refer to as haShem, just like the Israelites of old who made a golden calf and called it YHWH.  This is a violation of Torah.

No. 4 There is YHWH's Shabbat and there is a Jewish Shabbat and in the Rabbinical world the Jewish Shabbat reigns over how YHWH and His Mashiyach revealed Shabbat.  Everybody knows we are not to carry a burden on Shabbat, nor make commerce, nor do what pleases us, however the Rabbinical points fingers at Y'shua and decries the action of his disciples for picking and eating grains of corn while walking by a field on Shabbat.  The Rabbinical word charges Y'shua with offences against Torah.  Torah does not say it is wrong to heal people on Shabbat but Rabbinical Judaism puts it's tradition as more authoritative than YHWH.  This is a violation of Torah.

No. 5  Rabbis are notorious for speaking against the counsel of fathers and mothers who are not practicing Jews.  Young Jewish souls hear their Rabbis speak against their fathers and mothers because the Rabbi is right and father and mother are wrong when it comes to religion, traditions and "Judaism."  This is a violation of Torah.

No. 6 Many Rabbis are murders, every person has held or attended mock funerals for Jews who have chosen to follow Y'shua as Mashiyach is a murderer on several levels.  Many Rabbis gossip, lie and are talebearers and slanderers of Y'shua and his followers, because they give themselves justification by themselves and their self made traditions.  This is a violation of Torah.

No. 7  Rabbis endorse adultery by supporting the remarriage of men and women adulterers.  Rabbis give themselves the authority to annul marriages and establish new ones without considering the intent of the Torah of YHWH.  Many Rabbis annul marriages between Jews and a non-Jewish persons, when Jews prefer to remarry Jewish spouses.  This is a violation of Torah.

No. 8 Rabbis are thieves who use Torah and tradition to mine gold, some Rabbis charge exorbitant "handling fees" for marriage ceremonies, bar mitzvahs etc.  Rabbis get paychecks from the State of Israel, some are fat and lazy and undisciplined who do palm readings to make money on the side.  This is a violation of Torah.

No. 9 The biggest lie of the Rabbis is they've judged Y'shua Mashiyach and found him to be a sinner, they claim that they put him to death because of it, you can read all about it in the Talmud.  Therefore because every Rabbi respects the witness of the Talmud, then every Rabbi is a liar for condemning Y'shua on the basis of false witnesses, it's just that simple.  This is a violation of Torah.

No. 10 Rabbis are like many Christian pastors who feel they are entitled to high levels of materialism for their service to the community.  The "world" does not respect a poor Rabbi or Pastor who doesn't have "blessings."  It's a big ugly religious game that the false shepherds play, it's dangerous but they don't know it because they have no Fear of YHWH.  This is a violation of Torah.

I don't dislike Rabbis but neither do I believe they are as insightful as they are make themselves out to be.  Many Rabbis are much like Pastors who strain at religious gnats and swallow traditional camels.  There is very little difference between what Rabbis do and what Christian pastors do, they each posture their own traditional religious authority and deities.  Oftentimes Pastors speak against "the Pharisees" ("the Jews" or the Rabbis) and the Rabbis speak against traditions of the Christians but this is really a smoke screen or a religious detour the both use to deflect the false teachings off their own "ministries".  Very few Rabbis and Pastors have any backbone whatsoever, they know the consequences of following YHWH would bring them dishonor among their peers and flocks, they would be mocked and scorned if they spoke the Truth of YHWH, Torah and His Mashiyach just like YHWH's prophets of old... some things never change.

Christian doctrines obfuscate the Word of YHWH by teaching against Torah as though it does not apply to non-Jewish Believers or by making Torah void by replacing Torah with rituals and laws borrowed from pagan heathen traditions.  The fact of the matter is that Y'shua took the Kingdom out of the Rabbis hands and offered it to the Goyim (nations) through Mashiyach, but Y'shua never denied Jews from entering into the Kingdom on the contrary Apostle Paul visited most of the largest Jewish communities throughout the Western world and gave himself for his own people as did other Apostles.  YHWH maintained the Covenant with it's blessings and curses but false religion wants us to think it's only blessings that remain for the religious status quo.  In the same degree the Goyim are obligated to Keep the Commandments in Mashiyach just as Jews who were given Covenant but refused.  For the Goyim to suppose that Torah is done away with and Jews couldn't keep it (because NOBODY can "keep it") is an evil theological premise against YHWH and His Mashiyach.  What?  YHWH is going to burn Jews for breaking the same Words that Christian theology has trashed? and then bless the Goyim for not Keeping His Commandments?  How utterly despicable for Christians to come to such an evil conclusion!  What a convenient lie for the carnal flesh to comfortably continue in sin!

Christian theology has adopted some patently evil and destructive elements, it's objective is simply to package the GOOD NEWS in a manner as to make it popular so masses would subscribe.  The hook is getting people guilt ridden or feeling good about sin so they will cough up money and stick with the religious social club program.   It's important for non-Jewish souls to realize that the GARTI (sojourner) is a title given to the Jew as well as to non-Jews.  Goor or Ger are two Hebrew terms that are both translated as stranger in most Christian Bibles, but they refer to those who join with Jewish people to worship YHWH together.  The word GARTI (sojourner) has a Hebrew numerical value of 613 which is the number of the 613 commandments in Torah.  Torah states there is ONE TORAH for both non-Jews and Jews together and we must realize that not all Torah is given to everyone, some Torah is for men, some for women, some for priests, some for farmers and ranchers, some for the high priest etc.. 

Y'shua harmonizes the non-Jew and Jew as one soul together in the Malchut Elohim (spiritual equality) so those who think they have some sort of Jewish advantage are deluding themselves.  If a person has a good strong Torah upbringing as a Jew, strong disciplines, a good mind, a desire for truth then yes they will have advantages, but no not otherwise.  If a Jew is raised hiloni (secular) and without Torah or Messiah Consciousness then they also must begin their spiritual life with a relatively blank page and be humble and learn and grow day by day as the Ruach haKodesh leads.  The problem is that there are many, many religious zealots look for a following unto themselves, therefore most souls don't get much of an opportunity to develop their own testimony and relationship with YHWH, because others will want to do most of their thinking for them.

YHWH calls whom He wills, there are perhaps many more non-Jewish souls who have responded to the Ancient Paths (the One True Faith) than Jews, but according to the Prophets there will come a time when a massive Jewish contingent will awaken spiritually to Torah and Mashiyach and return to the Ancient Paths... it's just a matter of time.
