Questionnaire for our Christian friends

QUICK INTRODUCTORY QUESTION:

Is it really true that to gain eternal life, all we have to do is "believe" in Jesus?

Children "believe" in their parents, but unless they obey the parents (who are constantly teaching them for their own good) they cannot thrive in this world. For instance, if we let our babies raise themselves, they'll die. If they make it to toddler age, they'll constantly get into trouble because they don't know right from wrong and cannot yet discern what will and won't harm them.

Our Creator YHWH has had rules since the very beginning - for our own good (Don't eat from that tree in the middle of the Garden or you'll die! - Genesis 2:15-17.) As the world's population grew, He kept adding to those rules. While most were meant for the Levite priests, YHWH gave some that were only for men, others only for women, and some only for a certain point in time....But the "forever" commands (i.e., Seventh Day Shabbat, feasts and eating kosher) are the ones we must watch out for because "Forever" hasn't ended yet! Those are the ones that set us apart!

Yes, we are "saved" because Yeshua was the Final Sin Sacrifice and all we have to do today is to "believe" in Him. But there is more to having a real relationship with God. If you wish to serve Yahweh, you must follow His rules! Christianity has come up with their own name for the Messiah, and has changed the dates of His birth, death and resurrection and concocted their own man-made "holy days"....How is that pleasing to God?

If this peaked your curiosity, please read on....


Most Christians have never realized there is "something is missing" in the church - even those who truly "love the Lord" and live for Him with ever fiber of their being. These people are content with the status quo; they never question their pastors or any of the teachings. And even most of those who realize, for instance, that Jesus was NOT born on December 25th bother to ferret out when our Savior was actually born. Many even ask, "What difference does it make when He born, as long as we celebrate His birth?

Well, it matters to GOD who warned us over and over again not to be "lukewarm" towards Him! That is why this website has compiled a list of articles containing myriads of reasons as to why Christianity is off the mark and "lukewarm" on several levels. For instance, if you're among those who honestly believe there is no more to pleasing God than just "believing in Jesus," please read and answer just the following three questions:

1. Do you keep the Seventh Day Sabbath, as commanded? (It happens to fall on Saturday on our Gregorian calendars....) If you don't think it matters, please find the scripture that suggests any other day besides the Seventh is considered holy by God.

2. Do you keep the commanded seven Biblical Feasts? (Contrary to popular belief, the Sabbath and the Feasts were NOT just for "the Jews"; they were for ALL Israel (which includes anyone who has accepted the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Numbers 15:13-16) Plus, there were no "Jews" until Jacob gave birth to the Tribe of Judah - yet all believers up until then were Torah observant!)

3. Where in the Bible are we ever told to celebrate the birth of Yeshua (whose Hebrew name means "Yahweh is Salvation"), much less make up a date when He was born and put up Christmas trees - which appeared straight out of paganism? Do you celebrate YOUR birthday on a day other than you were born?

Many Christians are waking up to the fact that "Jesus" never came to bring "religion"; He came to proclaim the Kingdom of Yahweh and do EVERYTHING the FATHER told Him....He was the SON, the "arm of Yahweh" (Isaiah 53:1), and yet Christianity concentrates only on "Jesus". Instead of adhering to the things "Jesus" taught and explained and expounded upon, most Christians will tell you, "But, Paul said...." when, in fact, Paul often seemed to contradict Torah (which he did NOT). Still, who was God in the Flesh, Y'shua or Paul? Neither YHWH nor Y'shua ever said that the "death of the Son" was to nullify Torah! Y'shua came to add "foonotes" of explanation to YHWH's commands....


An entire religion has been built around the idea that God's seasons and Divine Instructions were abolished at the cross and that Jesus came to do away with His Father's "forever" commands and institute a "religion" of "grace" that resembles nothing that God ever commanded.

Christians will quickly claim, "We're NOT under the law; we're under grace. The law was just for the Jews!" It escapes them that "grace" has always been around; it didn't just start when Jesus died. It was grace that allowed Adam and Eve to continue living after they sinned. It was grace that kept Cain alive after he killed Abel. It was grace that allowed Noah and his family to begin the human race from scratch after the Flood. And it was grace that saved Lot and his family from destruction. None of these people were "Jews"! There were no "Jews" until Jacob begat the Tribe of Judah where the term "Jews" originated - yet they were ALL Torah observant....


If something in the above statements "touched a nerve" that, just for brief moment had you wondering if your understanding of the Bible was truly correct, then please follow that "small, still voice" and consult your Bible to answer the questions below.


(1) With whom did YHWH make His New Covenant? Please check Jeremiah 31:32 which shows He did NOT make it with the Gentiles; rather, with the Torah observant Houses of Israel and Judah - both of whom were obedient to His divine Instructions in Righteousness! YHWH never said He would have different instructions for the Gentiles; He said four times in Numbers 15:13-16 that the same rules would apply to the "foreigner" (non-Hebrew) who wishes to worship Him.

(2) What exactly is Torah? (See Torah put in simple terms.)

(3) Despite what you've been taught, please ask yourself this: Did Jesus really come to abolish the Torah (Divine Instructions in Righteousness, without which we would have NO blueprint for moral holy living) and institute a new religion? (See Original Commandments.)

(4) What "religion" was Jesus, and are you "sinless" and free from following God's rules just because you "believe in Jesus?" (See Confess.)

(5) What is sin according to 1 John 3:4? (See Sinning.)

(6) If Torah has supposedly been abolished, then how you do know what God expects of you? (Before you shout, "Matthew 22:36-40!" please read What parts of Torah are still applicable today?)

(7) According to Romans 11:17, you are grafted in to the Olive Tree (Israel). "Grafted-in" branches cannot change the constitution of the tree. As part of Israel, now since you have been grafted in (adopted), please explain why would God have different rules for His Natural and Adopted Children? (Would you have different rules for your natural and adopted children?)

(8) What makes you think Torah was "just for the Jews"? Did you know there were NO "Jews" until Jacob gave birth to Yehudah (Judah) in Genesis 29:35, where the term "Jew" originated - yet ALL believers up until then were Torah observant? (See God of the Jews.)

(9) Where does the Bible suggest the Sabbath (His commanded day of rest) is ever to be on any other day besides the SEVENTH Day (Saturday on our Gregorian calendars)? (Please see True Sabbath Day and God's calendar and the seven-day week.)

(10) Where does the Bible tell you to ignore Yahweh's Biblical Feasts and come up with your own "holy days" of Christmas and Easter?

(11) Christian assertion: "But what about Acts 15? It plainly states Christians only have to obey certain commands!" No, it doesn't. Acts 15 was referring NOT to the Torah itself, but to the man-made, rabbinical laws that had been inserted into YHWH's Torah commands.

(12) Since the Bible tells us Jesus (Yeshua = Yahweh in the Flesh) is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8), why would God have sent His Son, who was "the Word of God" (John 1:1 and 1:14) to change His Divine Instructions in Righteousness and start a new "religion" and instead, celebrate man-made holy days? (A religion which promptly changed the Name of our Savior along with the dates of His birth, death and resurrection and dared to ignore the commanded Seventh Day Sabbath [which is a SIGN between God and all those who worship Him - Ezekiel 20:12] and all of His other Appointed Times.)
