Dear reader,  I have devoted my life to serving YAHWEH and teaching His word. I believed I was faithfully following the Creator’s commands as a Christian. The Creator revealed a deeper understanding of the true teachings to me. This realization humbled me profoundly and strengthened my commitment to align my life more closely with the Creator’s divine guidance. Throughout history, each generation has understood faith and salvation according to the knowledge available to it. We are living in a prophetic time—the opening of the book of Daniel 12:4: "But you, Dani'el, keep these words secret, and seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there as knowledge increases." With the advent of the WWW, knowledge has increased. We are living in the time of the end. In this era, the Creator is calling Hebrew Yisra’el back to the original teachings of the TORAH and illuminating the path so that we can follow those teachings with greater understanding. I pray that these articles will inspire you to explore your beliefs more deeply and develop a stronger connection with the Creator. As the prophet Isaiah foretold, "In the future, YAHWEH’s temple will be the most important place. People from all over the world will come to it. They'll say, 'Let's go to YAHWEH's temple! He'll teach us His ways, and we'll follow them.' YAHWEH's teachings will come from Jerusalem." (Isaiah 2:1-3)

I have come a long way from my indoctrination into the quagmire of religion and religious ideology associated with Christianity. Greece and Rome were the brain and originators of this religion. They introduced it strictly for political reasons. It had nothing to do with the Spirit of the Creator or the Set Apart Word. All the history related to Greece and Rome, and the religion they gave the world, is filled with half-truths, errors, and heresies. Their misguided commentaries, the Protestant church fathers and others, as well as their misguided ideology regarding the Hebrew people called Yisra'el, have led to a gross misunderstanding of Scripture. In my maturity, the Creator has caused me to know and understand the truth of His Word. Many people can't handle the truth and are complicit in unbelief. Unbelief is the main issue that will bring about the destruction of the multitudes. But "he that has an ear to hear" will be delivered from the wrath to come. I am a third-generation Shepard. The men who raised me, whose teachings I sat under, were indeed great men of the Creator, faithful to their call. Their knowledge was relative to their generation and time. Daniel 12:4 had not yet manifested. Their knowledge of the Creator was limited, even to the point of failing to investigate or straying too far beyond the European biblical sources of their time and their father's teachings. Their desire to explore and understand the Hebraic roots of Scriptural knowledge was not a matter of their understanding and, for the most part, was not available to them. With this limited knowledge, they could not take us further than the ideas associated with baptism and the repentance of dead works. They taught us the policy of holiness and love—their understanding of what sin constituted and topical subjects. These teachings were essential but lacked the foundation of YAHWEH’s heart. The matters in Scripture that YAHWEH declared permanent. I use the word "policy” because they did not fully understand these matters from the foundation of Scripture, the Torah, and the Law, which are YAHWEH’s teachings and declare what sin is. So, it was based on their ideas of what it meant to be set apart. Our fathers did not understand YAHWEH’s teachings and instruction as a whole. They taught the commandments in part when they related to what, in their eyes, was an obvious sin. They were taught that the commandments, or the Law, were no longer applicable in their totality; therefore, they lacked the Father's true teaching. This was not their fault. They taught what they had been taught and had read from European commentators. The Creator YAHWEH has so much more to say and teach us. These teachings anchor this generation and those beyond. They enable us to obtain complete truth and eternal life. The Book of Daniel is open, and knowledge has increased at warp speed. Our ancestors lacked the tools available to this generation. We are living in the closing hours of the sixth day, the day of man. The millennial age is approaching. Yet men act as though all things remain as they have been. Because of a misunderstanding of men and/or a failure to give real credence to Scripture's Hebrew foundation, men have given us a Greek understanding of Scripture, even though the nature of all Scripture is Hebrew. This has led to the misuse of Sha'ul's (Paul's) word about all Scripture, because a Greek mind defines the interpretation of such Scripture rather than the Hebraic-ness in which it was delivered and intended. Therefore, the masses lack a true and correct application of Scripture. If Scripture, which is Hebraic in origin, is accurate and Spirit-inspired, why has error affected humanity? The answer is found in Hosea 4:6: "My people are destroyed for want of knowledge. Because you rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as Cohen (priest) for me. Because you forgot the Torah (Law) of your YAH, I will also forget your children." We are a broken people, shaped by the ideologies and theologies of man. Our only resolve is to return to the TRUTH of YAHWEH because "truth matters." These are the "last days." I loved my past knowledge, but this place where I am now, with the FATHER YAHWEH and His Word, is the greatest. Nothing can compare to it. "I can see now the rain is gone."

Truth often means being in accord with fact or reality, or with fidelity to an original, standard, or ideal. Truth is the quality or state of being true; it is also that which is true in accordance with fact or reality. Applying this definition to the Creator’s words, the fact and reality are that the words of the Creator, the Set-Apart Eternal Spirit, not a man, are the only truth. Heresy is any provocative belief or theory that strongly deviates from established beliefs or customs. A heretic is a proponent of such beliefs. Heresy is distinct from apostasy, the explicit renunciation of one's religion, principles, or cause, or the abandonment of a religious or political belief. In Christianity, the provocative belief or theory and the established beliefs and customs of the World Church are at stake. Hebraic truth, the teaching of the Creator, the Set-Apart Eternal Spirit, deviates from the worldview because only the word and teaching of the Creator are true. If any practice is heretical, it’s the Greek text that exhibits this behavior. This is because it opposes the Creator’s rules and teachings, with many declaring them old, done away with, and satisfied by Christ. Blasphemy is irreverence toward the Creator. The term usually refers to violations of essential religious teachings, but it also describes views that are vehemently opposed to generally accepted ideas. Blasphemy is an insult that shows contempt, disrespect, or a lack of reverence for the Creator. The Hebraic view holds that it is blasphemous to disrespect the Creator's name by replacing or removing it from Scripture, as the Greeks and the Catholics have done more than 68,000 times in their European Bibles. This worldview holds that the Creator’s name is Lord and God. Those are not names; they are titles associated with idolatrous sources. Referring to the Creator as such is disrespectful and therefore blasphemous, since his name is recorded. The Father’s name is recorded in the Masoretic Text Hebrew Scriptures, Exodus 3:15: Elohim said further to Moshe, Say this to the people of Yisra’el: 'Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh [YAHWEH or YAHVAH], the Elohey of your fathers, the Elohey of Avraham, the Elohey of Yitz'chak and the Elohey of Ya'akov, has sent me to you.' This is my name forever; this is how I am to be remembered generation after generation. To refer to the Creator in any other form is blasphemous. In the movie "A Few Good Men," Jack Nicholson said, "You can't handle the truth." Many people are in that place. Truth is essential, but only within one's circle of accepted knowledge of one’s defined truth, as outlined at the beginning of this writing. It is amazing that brilliant people are locked into a mental state in which matters of Scriptural fact are dismissed with statements like, "This is the way it's always been," "This is what I was taught," or "At that time, I believed it, and I still do." No matter what Scriptural evidence is presented, many refuse to accept anything else. They would rather remain ignorant of the Creator’s truth. In fact, many believe the whole Bible is Scripture; it’s not. Only the text called the Old Testament is Scripture. All Scripture is breathed by the Creator and is valuable for teaching the truth, convicting of sin, correcting faults, and training in right living; thus, anyone who belongs to the Creator may be fully equipped for every good work. Ignorance can be defined in two ways. One is the state of being ignorant, meaning a lack of knowledge because you simply didn't know. The other is having the opportunity to know but refusing to entertain or even investigate a matter to ascertain the truth. That is willful ignorance. We live in a world today where knowledge is readily accessible, erasing our reasons for being ignorant of practically anything. Access to knowledge isn't enough; we must actively seek it. It's our personal responsibility to seek the truth about our souls. Yet many people dismiss it by saying they don't want to talk about it, as if they might hear something true or discover the lie they have been part of all along. This suggests that many people fear the truth about Scripture and the Creator because it goes against the norm of religious belief. The Most High did not give the people he created a religion. He gave them a way of life. This speaks to what heresy means. History shows that Christianity was born out of a political need and had nothing to do with the truth associated with the Creator’s teachings. The only truth that brings eternal life resides in the Creator’s Scripture and is understood with a Hebraic mind. Those Scriptures are Genesis through Malachi in the European Bible. Read and study the Hebrew Scriptures, not a Greek Bible; it has an agenda. Hosea 4: 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as a cohen (leader) for me. Because you forgot the Torah of your Creator, I will also forget your children. Marcus Garve said, “A people without knowledge of their past, history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots.” See recommendation in Resources for Hebraic Bibles

Returning to the Father's Truth For generations, the people of the Creator have endured exile, living under the influence of various powers. The time has now come to return to the Creator’s Truth. Today, the Internet serves as a gateway to vast amounts of information and knowledge. The World Wide Web fulfills Daniel's prophecy. In Daniel 12:4, the Almighty declares: "But you, Dani'el, keep these words secret, and seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there as knowledge increases." We are witnessing this prophecy unfold in our own time. The words spoken to Dani’el are active in our land, and we are participants in this fulfillment.

It’s unfortunate that we live in a world devoid of truth. The political arena isn’t just about politics; it also shapes religious thought. The art of twisting truth began in the Garden of Eden. Ever since then, the spirit of deception has influenced the world that we live in. The Bibles that we read, influenced by European theologians with an agenda, have led people away from the truth of the Creator. With so much true knowledge available, intelligent people have no reason to keep accepting lies they don’t realize are lies.  From the day we enter the world, our minds begin recording information that governs the rest of our lives. Information from what we hear, see, feel, and taste. Our five senses begin recording information from our environment. Our environment includes our family and our educational and spiritual resources. We build relationships with people we trust, and we become attached to issues that shape their world. If what shapes their world resonates with our values, we align ourselves with them. As we grow up, we carry the values of those who have most influenced our lives. While these people are good, we are unaware that they, too, have been affected by the origin of the great deception the Serpent used in the Garden of Eden to deceive the first human beings by twisting the Creator's words. The great deception operating in our being functions like a disease, eating away at our senses until we can no longer receive the serum of truth. Deception becomes a diagnosis we refuse to accept, and it is something we were all born with. The great deception is sin. How to cure it is the greatest debate of all time. The Greeks and the Romans became influencers who proclaimed their agenda and cure for the disease of sin. They introduced a man conceived as partly divine and partly human, born as the offspring of a deity and a mortal. Then they told the world that this was the serum to cure sin. Once again, the net of deception widens, and the serum of lies further affects humankind. They said that this demigod would die for their sins, and that everyone who accepted and believed would be cured. Because of the Great Deception, we failed to realize that the sole Creator of everything in the world created the antidote to the Great Deception, which the Creator knew would occur. It was, and is, what the Creator gave us. The Creator gave us commandments, teachings, and rules. The Great Deception will cause us to die rather than live. But the Creator said to his servant in Deuteronomy 4:1, "Now, Yisra’el, listen to the laws and rulings I am teaching you, in order to follow them, so that you will live." Yes, the Creator’s laws and rulings destroy the Great Deception. You can live rather than die. Ezekiel 18: 20 The person who sins is the one that will die—a son is not to bear his father's guilt with him, nor is the father to bear his son's guilt with him; but the righteousness of the righteous will be his own, and the wickedness of the wicked will be his own. The deceiver says we don’t have to believe what the Creator says, and that’s the Great Deception.
