Fiveamprayer most of us in this country have at least one Bible and possibly several in our homes.  Some of these books serve as mere decoration or family catalogs of births and deaths.  Can we study to find out the validity of His word for the benefit of ourselves, family and community?  The Bible that we have today was first translated into English in the later 1300's and then printed around a hundred years later--after all of these years do we really have an understanding of His word?  We are to prove all things!  This is very important that we would not take all things at face value.  Yahweh knows that His word stands up to all scrutiny and the Truth stands, always.  The testing and proving is for our surety to know that we are following what He directed from the beginning! Where does the authority of the Bible come from?  Is it really the inspired and authored word of Yahweh? Since we have not been required to test and prove this before.  We will soon have to prove this for ourselves in the face of growing deception.  That which is  pushing against us, how will we know that is the true and right way?  Where do we find the voice behind us telling us this is the way, walk in it?  Would Yahweh want us to take His word without proving it?  If we don't each prove His word for ourselves what prevents us from taking up another unproved word?  How steadfast can we be in an unproven word?  These questions are not to cast doubt on the the infallible word of Yahweh or His power, yet we have scriptures warning us of the attack there would be on His word.  What way can we determine if we have succumbed to this attack?  When there is a treasure or precious item under guard do they not use a password for access?  How much more value is their in the Davar Elohim, Word of God?  How woeful would we be to find that we have followed in error due to our lack or investigation for the validity of what we have been presented? Without this proving, what would keep us from upholding some other book?  He would want us to prove His word to make sure we have what He has given us, the true and acceptable word for our study and provision.  In our continued and whole-hearted study of His word to avoid man's assumptions--remember there was not a King James version of the Bible in print for Yeshua or His talmudim to teach new believers from.  Consider if the Word made flesh, Yeshua, would He endorse the Bible that you study from?  How can we return to the origin of the scriptures that came to be known as the Bible?  With the proper pretext and context does your Bible match up with the culture and understanding of Yeshua and the apostles of the first century church?  We are children of Yahweh and should be found taking after and resembling our Heavenly Father!  To listen to this teaching again click here. https://www.freeconferencecallhd.com/playback.html?n=RvxYy/jKHbE

Weekend Meditation Worksheet:  Prove All Things

Consider the teaching from today, January 9th, study to find these answers for the following questions.  Dial in again to listen to this teaching, 760-569-7699 pin 910150 it will be available all weekend.

1.  Which Bible should be used as the ultimate authority for modern Christianity?

2.  Do you believe that the Religious Belief System of every Christian should be as close as possible to the Religious Belief System of Yeshua the Messiah (commonly known as Jesus the Christ)?  Can you agree with that statement?

3.  Wouldn't it be absolutely insane for a Christian to have a Religious Belief System that was not only in opposition to, but also an insult to that which Yeshua/Jesus Christ believed and taught?

4.  Why did the writers of the Gospels decide to wait so many years to record the words of Yeshua?

5.  Were Yeshua's words not considered on the same level as the Hebrew Scriptures or Tanakh (commonly known as us as the Old Testament?  If His words had been, then why were they not recorded immediately by His followers?

6.  What did the new fledgling Messianic Communities use for their Bibles during this time period, when there was no Greek New Testament Bible?

7.  What Bible did the Apostles carry with them, as they went into "all the world" to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God?

8.  What and who determined the Standard?

9.  Which one does Yahweh stand behind?

10.  If Yahweh is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, why can't He keep things straight, or it maybe that these systems of belief cannot keep things straight?

11. Who gave the Roman Catholic Church the right to decide what books should be added to Yeshua's Bible?

12.  Did they benefit from making such changes to Yeshua's Bible?

13.   Who decided which books were to be added or deleted, and on what evidence?

14.   Was their Religious Belief System the same as Yeshua's, or was it adulterated and changed?

15.  Why was there a need for new books anyway, what was the purpose?

16.  Could Yeshua's disciples adequately preach "deliverance" using Yeshua's Bible? 

17.  Why was it necessary to rename Yeshua's Bible the "Old" Bible? Why call the added books the "New" Bible?

18.  What was the rationale behind forming a new Canon under this "New" Bible?

19.  Ask yourself why there was a need for Marcion or the Roman Catholic Church to create a new Canon?

20.  Why didn't Yahweh protect the Canonization of His Word in the New Testament?

21.  What was the inspiration in selecting books, deleting books, and re-including books hundreds of years later?

22.  Doesn’t Yahweh know what He wants to do?

23.  What about the people who lived and died during these times? Are they "saved" even though they did not have a New Testament Bible?

24.  Were believers deprived of the Word of Yahweh by organized religion, or worse, given the word of men instead? Were believers lead astray in their worship of Yahweh as they followed a Canon given to them by Roman Catholic Theology which believed in purgatory, infant baptism for salvation, the mediatorship of the Virgin Mary, Mary as the mother of God, Papal infallibility and prayers to the dead?

25.  What happened to the religion Yahweh gave us, and revealed to us through Yeshua?

26.  How close to the "faith once given to the saints" is your religious belief?

27.  Whose Religious Belief System do we have today in our churches? "Israelism, Hebrew Roots" or "Non-Israelism"?

28.  Why does America today look like Sodom from scripture, yet there is a church on every corner and the message of the non-Israelite Church fills the airways and our television sets?

29.  There sure is a lot of Yahweh's so called "word" being broadcast, but is it really His Word?

30.  Maybe instead of it being Yahweh's Word as found in the Bible Yeshua used, can you see that it may instead be a collection of words that took 1000 years to be established by the Roman Catholic Church, and that was intended to function as a "replacement word" and "another Gospel" in order to nullify the Bible Yeshua used?

31.  Could this possibly be a contributing factor to the mess we finds ourselves in today?
