i     First, before we get off on a wrong foot.  Many people might either misunderstand or take offense at the use of “Yah” and “Yahshua”.  Mary did not call her son Jesus.  This could be simply explained by the fact that there were no “J’s” in her language.  In the Hebrew “Yah” [English translation] is the word [name] for God and “Yahshua” [English translation] is the Hebrew word [name] for Son of God.  If you prefer to use God and Jesus, please feel free to make the substitution as you read this treatise.  After all, “God” is not his name, and he has said we should call him by name.  Even you call “God” by the name “Yah” and do not realize it – Halleluyah [which may be more correct to say “Hallelujah” – it is the “y” “j” thing], is loosely translated “praise be to God”.  Hallelu is loosely “praise be to” and “yah” is “God”.  So, even you, by your common practice admit that “Yah” is correct usage.

ii     Next, this treatise is not intended as to answer all questions or to be a complete study.  Anyone who has done studies of Scripture already knows that it is nearly impossible to talk about any one topic without segueing to several others.  Even staying on point, can be little more than re-writing the whole Bible – an exercise in futility.  Please treat this treatise as a guide.

iii.    The main thrust here is to BRIEFLY show and/or explain perceived discrepancies and differences in understanding Scripture, on selected topics and issues.  This treatise is in no way meant to answer all or show all, but should at least give the reader a good direction

iv.    It should be noted here that the Scriptural references used herein are KJV.

v.    The use of words can make all the difference when metaphors and idioms are at play [which is how Hebrew and Greek languages function].  Such can be the difference between KILLING someone and MURDERING them.  Murder is what the sixth commandment tells.

vi.    While the KJV and others have problems in translation and interpretation, the NIV seems to be farther from original intent.

vii     So how do we reconcile these possible discrepancies?  One way is to keep context in mind and to look at original writings [the Hebrew and Greek, which wrote in metaphors – use of a word denoting one kind of object/idea in place of another to suggest a likeness between them, and idioms – language peculiar to a person or group & expression with a special meaning].  To do that we use an interlinear study.  [For those who do not know what interlinear is – it is a word for word transliteration.  This allows YOU to interpret the intent.]

viii.    So which version[s] are closer to transliteration, to your interpretation?  It seems that the KJV, NKJV and ASV are of the best.

ix.    In Romans 1:17-25 [and more], we are warned of men [and women] who had the knowledge of Yah and do not reveal it to the sheep.  That these men [and women] would be seen as fools and their hearts would be darkened.  We have churchcraft of today professing to have received the message of Yah yet preaching on topics which are the imaginings of their mind and not supported in the word of Yah.  They are false prophets and teachers which will lead the sheep away from Yah.

2 Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen

x.    A primary focus of the topics and issues addressed on these sites/links  is to determine what Scripture says regarding many contemporary erroneous teachings and gauge the interpretation with what Yah and/or Yahshua say about the matter.
