Statement of Commonly Held Beliefs and Positions:


As we learn and grow in understanding, we find it necessary to erase what we, 
ourselves, have  '  written in stone ' .

Deut 6:4
  Hear, O Yisrael: YHWH is our Elohim,  YHWH Alone.

YHWH is the Creator of all things, known and unknown. He is the giver of     life and He alone is Most High. He is worthy of exclusive devotion. Our allegiance is to Him and His Law, His will. (Deu. 6: 4-9)

His Name is not G-d, nor allah, nor L-RD, it is YHWH. According to a first century historian the pronunciation consisted of four vowel sounds. Perhaps pronounced 'E' as in He, 'A' as in Father, 'U' like the 'u' in true and and the final 'A' vowel sound, because it comes at the end of the word is a long 'A', as in faith. This becomes easy to remember in our English language, with these few words:        'He, Father, True, Faith'. 

Perhaps another pronunciation is more appropriate, we are not yet in a finalized position in this matter.

Torah observance includes the seventh-day Sabbath, the feast days, (festivals of YHWH), keeping a kosher (clean) diet, and dressing, cleansing and grooming in ways prescribed. We hold that taking a human life, unless it is sanctioned by Holy Writ, is outside our jurisdiction .

Adultery/apostasy (rebellion) /idolatry, in any of its forms must be cast out and cut off from among us, His people. We must carefully put ourselves away from those who practice the breaking of YHWHs Torah.

  'Love YHWH with your whole heart and your neighbor (brother) as yourself', this love is an active verb, not a passive one. In the case of our neighbor or ourselves, we also hold that this speaks of 'tough love', not permissiveness. Permissiveness is irresponsible and leads to destruction.

The walk that leads to everlasting life is continual. It is much like our temporal life which depends upon our continuing to breathe for its existence, we must take in, process and exhale (speak/do) the truth.

YHWH still possesses the power to inspire the men and women He chooses. We have reason to believe that this 'choosing' is ours in the sense that we 'choose'  to obey Torah and seek to do the works of righteousness.

Scripture or Holy Writ consists of the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets and is referred to as Tenakh (Tanach or TN'K) . It is inspired of YHWH, is sound and free from error in its original Hebraic form. Translations can lead to much sorrow and therefore should be held up to the Hebrew carefully.  

In translation from Hebrew, exclusions, inclusions, interpretations and even tone are sometimes made to follow policies set to defend pre-conceived belief structures. These theories, notions and grand visions distort the message and create a wound where the infection of false doctrine can fester.

We are assured that not only is YHWH our Savior but that He is our Shepherd. His sheep hear His voice.

Praise, pray, remain faithful and open our hearts to His voice. *see below

Being an offspring of Abraham is a matter of belief and faithfulness more than a matter of blood. (Ex 12: 48, 49)

We believe in and support strong families, strong marriages, and parents fulfilling their responsibilities toward their children as well as children to their parents.

*Ps 79:13 So we Your people and sheep of Your pasture will give You thanks for ever: we will show forth Your praise to all generations.

Ps 95:7 For he is our Elohim; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. To day if you will, hear His voice....

Ps 100:3 Know that YHWH, He is Elohim: it is He that has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

Ezek 34:31 And you My flock, the flock of My pasture, are men, and I am your Elohim, says Sovereign YHWH.
