ABSURDITY OF RELIGION
You Samaritans know very little about the one [God, devil) you worship,
while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Yehudah
(John 4:22; see John 8:44; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 12:9, BOC)
“You must not have any ‘God’ but ME [YHWH]. “You must not make for yourself an idol [image, object, picture] of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, YHWH your FATHER, am a jealous YHWH who will not tolerate your affection for any Gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject Me. But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love Me and obey My commands. [Exod. 20:3-6]
COVENANT WAY
There is only one “WAY” and YHWH’s WORD known as TRUTH, given to mankind for their righteousness, salvation, and inheritance of eternal life, even the possession of this Earth. That One Way is revealed in YAHSHUA HaMashiach – the SON of the Living YAHWEH. He is the Saviour of humanity. The Promised SALVATION to mankind is bestowed upon Him. YAHSHUA was given to Yisrayah to teach them the Way of YHWH the Father so that they can forsake sins and be prepared for the FATHER’s Kingdom, i.e. this Earth (not Heaven). YAHSHUA was given to mankind through the lineage of Yisrayah so that He can lead them to the FATHER, and show them the Way and teach them His Truth (John 14:6). Yisrayah are called into YHWH’s Covenant, not religion. YHWH’s Covenant, i.e. “agreement” is the WAY that leads to life. The mystery of the Way is that it’s rooted in the TORAH, i.e. INSTRUCTIONS, LAWS, WORDS or COMMANDMENTS of YHWH. The Prophets revealed that the TORAH or Instruction is the WORD of YAHWEH made flesh in YAHSHUA. Therefore, YAHSHUA is “the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE” that leads to the FATHER and the Kingdom [Jn. 14:6]. In YAHSHUA, the COVENANT was firmly established and renewed by His death, which led to the outpouring of His BLOOD, that those who repent will be saved. By obedience to the Covenant Torah and Commandments, the righteousness of His people is enshrined (Deut. 6:24-25). Therefore, anyone who must become YHWH’s peculiar treasure [son or daughter] MUST ‘obey His voice and keep His Covenant Commandments’ required for righteousness and salvation (Exodus 19:5). Obedience to YHWH’s Covenant binds a Believer with YHWH to His GRACE that results in His favour (Exodus 19:5; Genesis 6:8-9; Genesis 26:5; Romans 6:11).
RELIGIOUS WAY – IDOL
The people of Yisrayah were the first human race to be chosen and taught the Covenant Way. They were to learn and practice it so that they could become a nation of holiness and righteousness; a nation that would teach other nations righteousness of YHWH; and a nation that would lead other nations to live and practice righteousness with a view to helping them to return to YAHWEH, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. They were called to be the head. Unfortunately, instead of Yisrayah remaining in their Covenant Way, they joined themselves with religions of the world that serve God. Human beings establish RELIGIOUS Ways through the influence of the devil – Satan the God of this world, and his fallen angels, the God(s) of this world that deceived the whole world (please read in any restored Sacred Name Bible or BOC: John 8:44; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 12:9). The fallen angels seek worship from mankind so that they can corrupt them into IDOLATRY. Idolatry is prevalent in religions which seek Satan’s worship. Religion teaches the opposite of YAHWEH’s Covenant Commandments. In doing so, they lead people away from YAHWEH (Deut. 13:1-10; Gal. 1:8-12). The motive behind RELIGION is to establish Satan worship through images, objects, and pictures (see below). The fallen spirits hide behind images or objects they empower to produce miracles, signs, and wonders to unsuspecting and ignorant persons who fall and worship objects. YAHSHUA rejected Satan’s urge to fall and worship Him (Matthew 4:10; Luke 4:8). As the Second Adam, He did not give Satan a chance to deceive Him as the First Adam was deceived (Genesis 3:4-5). By rejecting Satan’s bidding, YAHSHUA defeated Him. Satan receives glory and honour when people bow and worship him. When people worship God – they submit to Satan’s worship, which YHWH abhors. This is an abomination which YHWH hates.
Today, many people do not know that the only WAY and TRUTH is based on OBEDIENCE TO YAHWEH’s WORD made flesh in the Personality of YAHSHUA (not “Jesus Christ”, “Allah”, or “Krishner”) (John 14:6; John 1:1-3,14; Rev. 19:13; see Jn. 5:43; Matt. 24:4,5). Obedience to the WORD and baptism in the Name of YAHSHUA is the true WAY to righteousness and the Kingdom of YAHWEH – as led by YAHSHUA Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life (see Matthew 6:33; John 14:6). For a thorough understanding of “God”, read the book: “In the Book of the Covenant Yahweh Is Not God.”
WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?
It’s generally believed that Christianity is a religion based on the life, teachings, and death of Jesus Christ. Britannica states that, “Christianity is the largest and most widely diffused religion in the world, stemming from the life, teachings, and death of Jesus Christ. A trace of Jesus Christ from the Hebraic sources upon which Yisrayah were called and given the Oracle and Covenant Law (Rom. 3:2; Rom. 9:4-5) is lacking. Since the Covenant Law came only through the Hebrew people, it follows that Christianity is one of the numerous Gentile religions, which teach a different gospel from the Covenant Way that Yisrayah are known. Christianity is an ancient religion that was given imperial assent by Emperor Constantine and the Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church about 321 C.E. Emperor Hadrian reveals that Christianity originated from “Serapis” (see image below). History reveals that Serapis is the Christian messiah called “Jesus Christ”. Serapis was an Egyptian deity worshipped about 200 BCE. Research affirms that Christianity is a man-made religion that borrowed its practices from the religion of Judaism and Pagan doctrines. As a diffuse religion, different worldly practices are found in it. For example, the names of their Messiah, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and Valentine practices are alien to Torah Covenant Way. These are all borrowed from other religious practices. As a result, Christianity is associated with Pagan doctrines such as Satanism, diabolism, demonism, etc., which project righteousness by faith alone, and receiving of miracles, signs, and wonders without recourse to the COVENANT LAW that leads to RIGHTEOUSNESS. YAHSHUA identified Satan, the devil, as the head of religions (John 8:44; 2 Cor. 4:4). Satan is said to be the deceiver of the whole world (Rev. 12:9). History reveals the original Christians who emanated from Serapis Christus, later renamed ‘Jesus Christ’.
YAHWEH forbids His people from worshipping or bowing to images or objects as depicted in Serapis Christus because Satan, the devil, receives glory through images or objects. Unfortunately, the image or object of “Jesus” falls under the warning of Exodus 20:3-5,7. The devil used “Serapis” to create the modern religion (Christianity) in the hands of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) more than 400 years after the YAHSHUA Messiyah ascended into heaven. The RCC Christianity later divided into so many daughter Churches, e.g. Orthodox Churches, Pentecostals, Evangelicals, Charismatics, etc (see Rev. 17:5). Christianity does not obey YAHWEH’s instructions that warn people to NEVER worship idols made with human hands. Throughout the Scriptures, YAHWEH forbids His people from bowing or worshipping images or objects (Ex. 20:3-5). These are ‘Gods’ made of wood and stone (Deut. 4:28). It is the prophesied new Gods people are worshipping today (Deut. 32:16-17). Before the RCC adoption of “Serapis”, it was first worshipped in the Greek Empire as “Iesous Kristus”. RCC adopted the worship of Serapis after the fall of the Greek Empire; the name was changed from “Iesous” to Latin “Iesus”, and later to English “Jesus.”
RCC perfected the image/object of worship in “Iesous Kristus” and “the Mother of Iesous”, which the Christians later modified to "Jesus Christ". The trademark of Christianity is in the name – “Jesus Christ”. His true name is CISERA BORGIA, whose portrait Christians display in their churches and homes. He was the illegitimate son of Pope Alexander VI. He was said to be a sodomist.
Cisera Borgia – Jesus Christ – son of Pope Alexander VI
Christianity is Catholic, the very “mother of harlot” predicted to prevail against the true Assembly of YAHWEH (Rev. 17:5; see Matt. 16:18), although non-Catholic Christians claim to be more "Christian" than Catholic themselves. This is unbelievable! Now, the leader of Christianity, the Pope himself, has revealed the true nature of Christianity – sodomists. He has approved marriage of the same sex, which is an abomination.
The absurdity here is that many Christians disassociate themselves from sodomy but are ashamed or afraid to denounce Christianity. Except Christian worshipper separates oneself from them, the individual remains a Serapis [Jesus] worshipper. There is no two Saviours. Only YAHSHUA is the Saviour of mankind! Islam is also a creation of the Roman Catholic Church. All mankind has sinned and come short of the glory of YAHWEH. It’s time to come out from religions led by Satan the God and deceiver of this world (2 Cor. 6:17; Rev. 18:4; see Jn. 8:44; 2 Cor. 4:4; Rev. 12:9). If someone hears the truth and remains on Satan’s religious way, then the commonly asked questions will ensue: ‘WHO HAS BEWITCHED YOU?’; ‘WHO HAS CHAINED YOU to RELIGION?’ Why do you wilfully enslave yourself in religion?
Absurd!
Repent!!
Come out from them!!!
“And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.” (Rev. 18:4).
YAHWEH warns that those who forsake or forget HIM and worship or bow to Gods shall be destroyed. YAHWEH says to you today, stop being deceived by Christianity or the religions of the world.
Deuteronomy 8:19 NLT
“But I assure you of this: If you ever forget YAHWEH your FATHER and follow other Gods, worshipping and bowing down to them, you will certainly be destroyed.”
Deuteronomy 6:14-15
“You shall not follow other Gods, any of the Gods of the peoples who surround you, for YAHWEH your FATHER in the midst of you is a jealous YAHWEH; otherwise the anger of YAHWEH your FATHER will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.”
Psalm 9:17
“The wicked will return to Sheol,
Even all the nations who forget YAHWEH.”
Psalm 50:22 NLT
Repent, all of you who forget ME (YAHWEH),
or I will tear you apart,
and no one will help you.
Hosea 13:4 NLT
“I have been YAHWEH your FATHER
ever since I brought you out of Egypt.
You must acknowledge no God but ME (YAHWEH),
for there is no other Saviour.”
Exodus 23:13 NLT
“Pay close attention to all my instructions. You must not call on the name of any Gods. Do not even speak their names.”
YAHWEH is the Creator of Heaven and Earth. He is the Creator of ‘Gods’ (i.e. angelic beings, including fallen Satan, formerly Lucifer, and other fallen angels. HE created ‘man’ who is made a little lower than ‘Gods’ (or angels). The Scripture attests: “Yet you made them only a little lower than God” and crowned them with glory and honour” (Psalm 8:5; see Psalm 82:1,6). Both Angels and mankind are called ‘Sons of YAHWEH’. They are His creatures. HE commands that they should NEVER worship images or objects or the works of their hands – “wood and stone” (Deut. 4:28; Exod. 20:3-5). For further reading on “God” – request our book, “YHWH is not God”, and it will be sent to you free of charge. YHWH re-affirms who HE is:
“I AM YAHWEH, that is My Name…” (Isaiah 42:8).
My beloved reader, flee from every appearance of ‘God’ worship because they are creatures. Return to His Holy Name, YHWH; and to the Holy Name of the Saviour, YAHSHUA (Ex. 20:7); return to His Shabbat Day of rest (Ex. 20:8-11); return to observance of His Holy Feasts [not Passover, Christmas, Halloween, etc) see Lev. 23. We are called to worship YHWH the CREATOR, not the creatures [Rom. 1:25; Rev. 14:7; Is. 42:8; Hos. 13:4 etc). The consequence for disobedience to YHWH’s Commandments is eternal death [read Prov. 8:36; Deut. 8:19-20; Psalm 16:4-8; Deut. 28:58-61; Mal. 2:2; see Exod. 23:13; Rev. 14:9-11 etc).
May the Spirit of ABBA YAHWEH reveal further to all readers of this article, and grant them a repentant heart to return to YHWH the FATHER, and YAHSHUA MESSIAH, in Yahshua’s Saving Name, Hallellu-Yah.
FOLLOW COVENANT WAY!
FOLLOW YAHSHUA THE VERY COVENANT WAY!!
DO NOT FOLLOW THE RELIGION OR TRADITION OF MEN!!
