The Words of Yahweh
Deuteronomy 13
…for Yahweh your Elohim is testing you to know whether you love Yahweh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 You shall walk after the Yahweh your Elohim and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him.
The Words of Yeshua
John 10:27-28
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
What does it mean to know His voice?
What happens if we don’t know His voice?
What if we use the voices of others to create doctrine in conflict with the Voices of Yahweh and Yeshua?
I write this blog to encourage others to follow Yahweh wholly and completely.
This is the standard that both Yahweh and Yeshua have established for us.
The Words of Yahweh
Deuteronomy 12:28
28 Take care and listen to ALL THESE WORDS that I am commanding you, so that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the eyes of Yahweh your Elohim.
The Words of Yeshua
Matthew 28:19
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Ruach ha-Kodesh, 20 teaching them to observe ALL I HAVE COMMANDED YOU.
How can we follow Yahweh wholly and completely if we do not know the things They said?
This is how I approach it:
1. Study the direct quotes of Yahweh in scripture. I accept the idea that His words are 100% truth and are truth forever.
2. Study the direct quotes of Yeshua in scripture. I accept the idea that His words are 100% truth and are truth forever.
3. If my understanding of other scriptures causes me to let go of anything Yahweh or Yeshua have said, then I have to pray and study more for the proper understanding of those other scriptures.
Am I saying those other scriptures are incorrect, or in conflict with Yahweh?
No, I’m saying it is not possible for me to understand those words in such a way that they invalidate the words of Yahweh or Yeshua.
Let the Words of the Father and the Son establish your faith, your beliefs, and your doctrine.
Use the remainder of scripture to help guide your way IN THE THINGS THEY SAID, not INSTEAD OF THE THINGS THEY SAID.
If you respond to the words of Yahweh or the words of Yeshua with, “Yeah, but…”
then I believe you are doing it wrong.
Let the Creator of all that there is, the author of life, establish your beliefs.
Do not depart from His words, “for Yahweh your Elohim is testing you…”
