Did you know that when the New Testament was formed it was called the “RENEWED COVENANT”. We post that on our site when referring to which testament we are referencing. Think about that. It means to us that the OLD COVENANT was never done away with. It means that the OLD COVENANT is still in affect and was “RENEWED” by our Messiah and HIS followers. You may ask if we have some sort of proof? We like to use scripture to reproof scripture. So here is a verse about whether or not the New did away with the Old from the very popular Bible version called the NIV.

Hebrews 8:13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

According to the NIV’s translation it seems like the “old” has been done away with completely.  But, we searched a little deeper and looked up another Bible version called the “The Scriptures” which we love.

Hebrews 8:13  By saying, “renewed,” He has made the first old. Now what becomes old and growing aged is near disappearing.

Take a look at that.  Completely different meaning.  So we went one step further and looked up the word “NEW” in Strongs and found this.

(New) comes from the Greek word (Kainos) which means:
a) as respects form
1) recently made, fresh, recent, unused, unworn
b) as respects substance
1) of a new kind, unprecedented, novel, uncommon, unheard of

All covenants with Yahweh (God) are renewed not just new.  While each covenant comes with an agreement, none of them throw away the old.  All covenants are recently made, fresh, unused, unworn, of a new kind, uncommon, but they ALL keep in place the agreement from before. As with ALL covenants between Yahweh (God) and HIS people there is a new covenant that occurs throughout time.  When Abraham received his covenant he didn’t throw away the rules of Noah’s covenant.  When Mosheh (Moses) received his covenant with Yahweh (God) he didn’t throw away the rules of Abraham’s covenant.  When Yehoshua (Joshua) received his covenant with Yahweh (God) he didn’t throw away the rules of Mosheh‘s (Moses) covenant. And the pattern continues on throughout history until we get to HaMashiach Yeshua (Jesus).  When Yeshua (Jesus) gave us HIS covenant HE never threw away the rules of His Father’s covenant that he gave every covenant receiver before Himself.  Look at what HE speaks verbally to Mattithyahu (Matthew).

Matthew 5:18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the TORAH until all is accomplished.

So if this isn’t convincing enough to see that the TORAH still exists and us as believers are expected to follow it we will give you one more reference.  It shows us that HE promised to give a “renewed” covenant in which he will attach his TORAH in our inward parts and attach it to our hearts and therefore NOT ONE person can say they don’t know HIM.

Jeremiah 31:33 For this is the covenant I shall make with the house of Yisra’?l (Israel) after those days, declares Yahweh (God) , I shall put My Torah (Law)  in their inward parts, and write it on their hearts. And I shall be their Elohim (God), and they shall be My people.

When Yahweh (God) sent His Ru’ach HaKodesh (Set Apart Spirit) to live inside of us HE didn’t do away with Torah.  HE actually raised the BAR to an even greater standard as now we have NO excuse for not following HIS Torah.  When we fail, we repent and that is what the “renewed” covenant is about.  Yahweh (God) did not drop the standard of Torah because Israel chose disobedience; rather, He installed a Renewed Covenant to write Torah upon the heart through the work of the Ruach haKodesh (Set Apart Spirit), according to Mashiyach (Messiah).

Yahweh (God) gave us the Spirit to glorify HIM so HIS people would stay on a path HE commands.  HE didn’t do it for our sake, HE did it to prevent from being shamed by us.  He sent HIS son for our sake.  HIS son was the living, talking, breathing Torah.  .  HIS son “magnified” Torah by living perfectly.

Isaiah 42:21 The Lord was pleased, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify his law and make it glorious.

“Always Learning”

Biblical Truth

We had this thought about our search into the Sacred Text known as the Bible.

We often post things that most of mainstream Christianity has either never heard of or were taught a different way.  We do this because we would rather tell somebody the Truth of what we find through our research, have them get upset because it goes against everything that person was taught, rather than to face our Messiah knowing we taught the wrong thing.

James 3:1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness

It isn’t a matter of teaching what somebody believes, it matters that we teach what God believes… To teach doctrine is not teaching His word. It is simple; If we teach something that goes against scripture then we are teaching against HIM regardless of our intentions.

For example, if we were to ask a Pastor, Priest, or Rabbi about something and he says “we teach” it this way but that isn’t necessarily what the Bible says, it is wrong. Just like man-made Holy Days.  It is taught as scriptural and for HIM, yet the Bible says it isn’t that way. So if one is teaching that way they are teaching against HIM even if they have the best of intentions.  So many people are given knowledge from HIS Ruach HaKodesh (Set Apart Spirit) yet they ignore it because it isn’t what they want to hear or in most cases what they were taught.  We have to open up our eyes as believers and spread the TRUTH not some man-made theology or ideology.

Jeremiah 5:21 “Hear this, O foolish and senseless people,
who have eyes, but see not,
who have ears, but hear not.

Mainstream Christianity is doing the same today that the Israelites did during their days. They are not “hearing” his message and we are “blinded” by 1900+ years of teachings. We are told to search the scriptures for the TRUTH… In the Bible the Bereans were the best at searching the scriptures to make sure the message given by Paul was the message given by Yahweh in the Sacred Scrolls.

Paul and Silas in Berea
Acts 17″10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now these Jews(Bereans) were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so….

If we truly want to learn HIS way we have to open our lives up and live the way HE wants us to.  We have to show obedience to HIS commands and precepts and show Faith in HIS son, the one True Messiah.  If we do this we receive all the blessings HE promises.  We, at Biblical Truth, never lived our lives HIS way until about 2010.  When we opened up and let HIM lead and then studied HIS text we learned a different message than what we were taught.  Our lives have been transformed and we just want to get the info out there so everybody can learn what we have learned.  We don’t charge money and we don’t expect anything for putting our research out there.  We just want more believers to know that HIS way is much different than mainstream Christianity teaches.

Here at Biblical Truth we do not watch the news.  Our family has come to the conclusion it is quite horrifying.  With the recent events in Connecticut we have seen some things on television about the tragedy.  We first would like everyone to know that Yahweh IS with us.  HE hasn’t left us.  How do we know that you might ask!  We know that because once you have the Ruach HaKodesh inside you will continue to be led towards The Light (John 8:12).  What the people experienced in Newtown, CT was pure evil.  This kind of evil exists everywhere.  Evil is at our very doorstep trying to get in our homes and break up marriages.  Evil is at our very doorstep trying to make us stray from HIS commands and precepts.  Evil is all throughout the world spurning wars and creating hostility between all nations (Matthew 24:6-8).  Evil will never go away until Yeshua comes to claim us.  If you shut out the evil it will move along to the next person until somebody allows that evil to enter them.  Those are the people we, as Christians, must pray for, find, and preach the Gospel to.  Those that allow the evil in are also victims.  They have just succumbed to the thought that life without rules, laws, or consequences is a better life.  They have succumbed to the very persuasive Adversary.  The demons inside of them make them sick and there is only one that can heal us when the demons have entered into us (Matthew 8:31-32).  We have to realize that these demons come in many forms.  Some demons manifest themselves as addictions.  Some demons that make us think there is no Elohim.  Then there are other demons that convince people to be violent and end the lives of Yahweh’s creation (Genesis 1:27).  While every single fiber of us wants to hate the person that did this to those people, the Ruach HaKodesh has spoken to us and wants us to realize that evil triumphed inside the shooter and that evil will try to find it’s way into our lives.  It is a constant battle and we must study the scriptures to learn how to avoid it infiltrating us. It lurks around every corner we turn and every path we take.  If we stay true to the path of Yeshua we will be rewarded (Psalm 119:1).

In this world there is no way anyone can prevent everything from happening at all times.  The preemptive strike needed would be to lead our entire nation to Yahweh and let the Ruach HaKodesh fill their lives with The Light.  We have to figure out a better way to get our Elohim‘s message out there.  We are the only religion in the United States that is becoming taboo to talk about.  If you look around our country Christianity is being attacked.  It isn’t okay to try to demand Muslims, Hindus, or Buddhist don’t express there god or belief system but it is becoming normal to tell Christians we must not talk or express anything about our Elohim.  We are not unified as a religion.  That is one reason we started this website.  We want to spread the TRUTH without the man made traditions that are being taught. Our job as believers is to try to spread the Gospel to all so everyone becomes a believer.  When that happens there will one day be peace on earth (Matthew 24:14).  Yeshua will return and HE will avenge the death of every single adult and child that died a few days ago (John 5:28-29).  We weren’t involved in the senseless massacre but we haven’t stopped crying for 3 days.  We have just prayed.  We can’t even imagine what those affected are going through and this includes the families and the first responders that had to see and clean up the aftermath of this horrific event.  We all hope that our Elohim will find those broken spirits and insert HIS Ruach HaKodesh into them.  There is no better gift in this world than to be given HIS Set Apart Spirit to lead us.  Our hearts are heavy for those involved.  Bo Yeshua (comes Yeshua) and heal the wounded in Faith.

Acts 17:11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

If you ever wondered what this verse is talking about, it has to do with the Jews of Berea or better taught as the Bereans. They basically just made sure that the things being taught coincided with the sacred text and not that of man’s tradition.  If the teaching was incorrect they would correct the teaching while making sure all that heard the incorrect teaching knew the TRUTH.

We got asked today about a certain topic in the Bible. We were hesitant at first to give the answer, as we knew that answer would not be taken with an open mind. It was a question that is often asked and the response to our answer is the same from most Christians we talk to; disbelief at first. We had to take a moment to realize that it isn’t about us; it’s about HIM so we continued to give a Biblical answer knowing the answer would not be readily accepted.  We are to “plant the seeds” and let HIM make them grow (1 Corinthians 3:7).  We can’t just be silent when somebody comes to us for knowledge, even if their response will not be what we want. The person asking the question already had the answer they wanted and wanted us to agree with their belief. The question asked then worked its way around to four other people that were in ear shot and they also wanted hear our explanation. In reality it is much easier for us to avoid telling what we know and save ourselves the persecution from the one asking the question. The problem is that we won’t just agree with people to avoid confrontation. Our answers often go against the teachings of man that are frequently adopted as Biblical by many Christians.  We don’t avoid topics to save ourselves persecution. We have a duty and that duty is to be Truthful when we are asked about things that have to do with the Bible. We have learned over the last couple of years to abstain from arguing over Biblical topics. We simply put the information out there and let people decide what they will do with that information.  We are supposed to be planting seeds not trying to grow them.  Again, we are told that only ONE can grow them (1 Corinthians 3:7). We avoid arguments and just put the information out to be absorbed. Some absorb it, some don’t, and some want to demand their man centered tradition is Biblical.  As Mark stated not everybody wants to hear and not everybody wants to see (Mark 8:18).  In fact Jeremiah warned us about this problem long ago (Jeremiah 5:21).

All we know is that Matthew told us we would be hated by all for his name’s sake (Matthew 10:22). John tells us to know the Truth and it will set you free (John 8:32). There are often times when the Truth is something that makes us have to change things that we thought were okay. There are often times the Truth makes you second guess man’s plan and realize Yahweh’s plan was different. We are here to spread the Truth. If the Truth goes against what we were taught, then we were taught man’s way and not HIS way. John says that the world will hate the Truth tellers because they are not of the world but in the world (John 15:18-21). Luke also tells us that we will be hated (Luke 6:22)! In reality we aren’t really that persecuted at all.  Here at Biblical Truth we live in the United States and are free to study, practice, and preach the Gospel.  Try living in China where owning a Bible is illegal and that act of preaching the Gospel will get you killed!!! That is true PERSECUTION.  To know that you may die for the cause yet still walk steadfast in TRUTH must be incredibly hard.  We know that people making fun of us for what we do is persecution but it is minute compared to other places in the world.  We take the “jabs” and keep moving along in our Faith.

After giving our answer to the topic we were asked “how could billions of people be doing it one way and that way is incorrect?”  We will tell you this. We all fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), so just because it is done one way for centuries doesn’t mean it is the right way. Man’s tradition has molded society to stray from HIS precepts.  Only HIS way is the right way. If we see that “everybody” is doing something it usually throws up a red flag to us and then we research it.  Look at it this way.  In the end times we are told that the “whole world” will follow after the beast (Revelation 13:3).  So in the end if “everybody” else is doing it, does it make it right to do?  The answer is simple; NO!!!  There will be plenty of people persecuting those that don’t follow after the beast and guess who will be right?  The ones not doing what everybody else is doing will be correct because the ones doing it go against HIS perfect WORD.  We are supposed to be a separate people amongst the many (Leviticus 20:26) (2 Corinthians 6:17).  We submit to you that if you question something, look it up in the Bible and see what Yahweh thinks about it.  The Bible is where you will find the true answer.  If your local Church teaches you something that is not Biblical then you should correct the teaching.  If your pastor says something is okay that Yahweh says isn’t, you should correct the teaching.  We can’t keep going along in life doing things in man’s way.  We can’t go along in life and allow HIS message to be changed.  All we can hope is that the information we gather and put on this website can help lead us and others closer to Yeshua.  We do this for everyone including our children.  Hopefully when we are long gone in our resting place, our children will pick up where we left off and continue this site.  Hopefully they will then pass it to their children.
