Decisions

Following Yah’s way involves each of us in a personal decision to seek the TRUTH of Yah.

I made that decision before I hit my teenage years, bur had real difficulties finding a starting point for my journey; I was looking in the wrong places.

My parents were not ‘believers’ but they were also not ardent atheists, they were ‘socialists’ but not activists but they could not show me a start point.   I tried my local CofE (Episcopalian) church and found complete disinterest, theirs was a social club and a gospel I had nothing to offer so I was ignored.   The Catholics were better, but somehow they were wrong, in that they worshipped idols and popes.

At school were two teachers who obviously believed but to a schoolboy seeking truth, they were unapproachable, they could ‘educate’ but not ‘indoctrinate’, thus there is no one-on-one in a British state schooling and one could not discuss such a sensitive subject in class.

When Dad was posted to Singapore I attended the Army school there and was taught about Yahweh, it stuck.   Maybe the teacher was Jewish, but she was a believer whatever.

It was not until I was in my early twenties that I found my first fellow believer; curiously enough he was CofE chaplain on HMS Kent, the ship on which I did my Midshipman’s year. This Chaplain put me in contact with other believers throughout the Royal Navy and I learned about Christian fundamentalism.

Christian fundamentalism has its problems, the first being the belief that ‘Yah changed His mind. about ‘Judaism’ and invented a ‘new’ covenant with ‘Christians’.  

To make the doctrine fit, the idea of dispensationalism was invented whereby the teachings of the bible could be split into blocks of time each with a slightly different rule set and ‘Christianity’, worship of Jesus, was the ultimate revelation.

Christianiy is a top down structure whereby God’s truth is revealed to the ‘leaders; and trickles down to the congregants.   It avoids the need for a personal decision, just do what the Vicar/Pastor/leader tells you and all will be fine “see you on the other side”.

Christianity believes that Yah’s Torah has been ‘nailed to the Cross’ and can be safely ignored……

It took me some 50 years to get those nails out.

In the beginning was Torah (the Word of YAH) and Torah was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.   Not one Jot or Tittle of Yah’s Torah is irrelevant in today’s world and as we, as a ‘Western culture’ slowly abandon Torah, so our civilization slowly disintegrates into the dust of barbarism and paganism.
