Christians have been Hoodwinked...
.... and so have all the other folks who claim to be 'religious' no matter which religion they follow or which 'god' they believe in. It started a very long time ago, back in the Garden when Satan used a very successful tactic that caused Eve to doubt the Word of YHWH Elohim.
This is what I have come to realize as I continue to read and study Scriptures:
"Our Creator" was never about religion or churches or denominations. It was man who turned His perfect system of government into a money making sideshow; a power trip, holding sway over many who, innocently enough, are taken in.
Once we get in that comfort zone it's hard to come back out.
I'm not accusing anyone of doing wrong, but I am speaking out against those who knowingly lead others astray. Many of us 'follow the leader' because we grew up trusting people. Many of those leaders have no idea they've missed the mark. Keep in mind that a couple of thousand years have passed since the time of Y'shua our Messiah. Much has been tampered with since then. It is my heart felt obligation to help shine His Light brightly on these falsehoods and encourage everyone to read Scriptures for themselves. It is the Set Apart Spirit of YHWH, His Spirit Wind called the Ruach haKodesh in the Hebrew language, which comforts us with the truth in all matters.
According to Scriptures, faith is not about religion or the doctrines of man. Faith is much more than saying "In God We Trust", going to church and reciting prayers. Faith is our commitment to the Living Elohim who provided an Owner's Manual to go with His Creation which includes all humanity. As we read, study, research, discuss and learn about His ways, the Ruach haKodesh reveals the truth of all things, and it becomes a harmonious relationship in which we gain understanding. It is His Path of Righteousness we continue to move along towards the land of our inheritance. Satan, with his various devices which cause division, tries to stop us from moving along this path, and succeeds in turning many people away from YHWH Elohim our heavenly Father.
John 20:29 - Y'shua said to him, "Now that you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who do not see me and believe."
Followers of Y'shua were called 'Fearers of Elohim' and 'Followers of The Way'. It was the Romans inparticular who used the term "Kristanay" when referring to the Apostles and disciples as a sect, but they never referred to themselves as such.
Netzarim (Nazareans) refers to the Netzer = little shoot of Isaiah 11:1 that describes the sprouting of the Kingdom of Elohim in Y'shua. Netzarim Assemblies existed as a recognized people group up until 400 AD, however heavy opposition from both Christian and Rabbinical sources forced them underground. Discovering one's Hebrew heritage is a stepping stone in returning to the Netzari Faith, but can also become a snare for those coming out of traditional backgrounds yet still holding onto familiar old ways.
The Hebrew word 'yirah' means 'fear' as in 'awesome and/or terrifying' contrary to the Christian teachings that the "Fear of God" is not really fear but love and respect. Isaiah 29:13 reveals how the Fear of YHWH is taught by the commandment of men, in other words, man's religious theology and tradition has made void the Fear of YHWH. Many Christians prefer the word 'reverence' instead of fear, they also use the title of Reverend for their clergymen and ministers; first negating the term 'Fear of YHWH' then giving it a theological twist to apply it to their own leadership.
Our God = YHWH Elohim
is Awesome and Terrifying
The point I am making is that 'Christianity' is not part of His plan, nor is any other 'religion' as none of them correctly line up with His original set of instructions found in the first 'five books' of Scriptures. All the world's churches and denominations are spin-offs created by man's own imagination and colorful interpretation of Scriptures, aka: mixing and mingling, an old trick used by Constantine when bringing pagans into the 'church'.
It is important for us to know a little about the original texts and the words which lost their meaning in translations so as not to be taken in by false teachers. Claiming to be a Christian and belonging to one of its many divisions (denominations) is actually meaningless. I know that's going to hurt some feelings, but please stop and think about it. Are you reading and studying Scriptures for yourself, or are you being taught by someone you trust, without question?
"Trust me..."

Again, let me emphasize, this is not an assault on all 'believers' because, many times, we do what we do because that's the way it's always been. Just because Ma and Pa lived this way doesn't make it right in the eyes of our Creator. And our parents did things because they learned it from their folks, which are traditions passed on through the generations and not all of them adhere to His Instructions or please our Creator YHWH Elohim.
I share this information for your benefit; something to refer to when making future decisions concerning your walk as you follow after the Messiah. If we are to return to YHWH and the Faith once delivered, then we need to come out of the world system we've been so comfortable with. When we rediscover the Truth of His Word how could we want to continue in those old pagan ways any longer?
Second Thessalonians 2:9 ~
For the coming of that Evil One is the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all the deceptiveness of iniquity in them that perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth by which they might have life. Therefore Elohim will send upon them the strength of a deception that they may believe a lie.
Quote: The price for not receiving the 'love of the truth' is to become overly self-confident in false religion. The 'love of the truth' is the Spirit of Truth which must be sanctified by thought and action. One cannot love the truth and at the same time break the Commandments and teach others to do the same. -- Andrew G. Roth
If you call yourself a 'believer', then it's time to quit feeding the anti-Christ beast. Those who want to sincerely follow Y'shua must wean themselves from worldly governments, churches and religion. Why would a Christian want to support the very institutions which are destroying his relationship with YHWH? Those who support man-made religious systems are living in a world of deception. Abiding by Yah's Instructions in Righteous Living frees us from the bondage of religion. Freedom awaits all those who break away from the religious slavery of church and become a humble servant of Y'shua the Anointed One.
Let us strive to do the same thing the apostles did and form ourselves into actual communities under the guidance of Yah's anointed and appointed leaders, called out and separated from the world, with none other than Y'shua haMashiyach as our High Priest and King, in the order of Melchizedek. (yeah, I know... it's the trying to find those Yah approved leaders that keeps us scattered)
As a whole, "Christians" have departed from the pattern given by YHWH throughout Scriptures and have built, according to their own wisdom, an artificial religious mess called "church" with all its various denominations. Our Creator wants us to be One, not many. Satan uses division along with doubt to throw us off His Path of Righteousness.
It's time to get back to the truth and wisdom of YHWH.
