So yesterday I was doing some shopping and someone stopped me in the street. They wanted to hand me a piece of literature. Having not much idea about what it was all about, I did ask him but he wasn’t very forthcoming. From what I could gather at the time was this individual, who happened to...
For those who do not know, I'm a member of the Assemblies of Yahweh (Bethel PA) and what got me thinking about this subject was a conversation I was having on another thread about the Name Yahweh. In my faith we firmly believe in not substituting the Name, but restoring it to it's rightful...
I'm not going to make this thread a full analysis of what love is, at least in this original post, but I wanted to demonstrate something that I've seen in Yahweh's Law and reflect on what one aspect of love is. In Chr-stianity, love is preached quite a lot, but they refuse to back it up with the...
For the run up to Chr-stmas, I have been debating with various people regarding the pagan nature of Chr-stmas, how it isn’t Biblical and how Yahweh is deeply displeased with those who engage in it. I was pleasantly surprised to hear how some people on RF know about the Saturnalia, Bacchanalia...
Each year we cannot help but notice the increasingly large amount of information that is published in the news media expressing great concern regarding the trends bent toward violence and Satan worship common now in celebrating this fall holiday. The celebration has been presented throughout...
"Today, most people of the world intend to live to please only themselves. They put themselves in the number one position. Yet...we were taught in our youth to put the Almighty first in all things, to place others second and to consider ourselves last. Why has this noble concept been changed so...
Another post I decided on writing on the spur of the moment today. I couldn’t help but shake my head at the amount of disbelief I have found on what should be a religious forum regarding the Bible. Constantly people are questioning the Biblical message and coming up with their own ideas...
I wasn’t going to post anything today, but I heard something this week that caused me concern. As many of you know, there is a lot of change going on in our societies regarding gender rights and how someone identifies. As a mental health support worker, I’ve noticed this has come down in to my...
I was provoked in spirit again this year, as at Easter time I saw Chr-stians carrying a big cross with them through the streets. Why do so many Chr-stians engage in things which are in my opinion completely unbiblical, I wonder. Why do so many refuse to keep the Biblical commandments, yet create...
It’s been a little while since I started a thread and I’ve covered a variety of subjects, but I don’t think I have done justice to – or ever will be able to do justice to – Yahshua my Savior. The question in my mind is, why are there so many religious hobbyists today? Why has religion become a...
My heart goes out to those struggling to overcome their sins. They are many struggling against their sinful natures, but some people are overcoming and some people are not. I know that without Yahshua I wouldn’t be able to overcome my sinful nature. Yahshua makes it possible. But what about...
For those who know what I stand for, you might be able to guess what this post is about. In my faith, we believe in all the stories of the Bible as things that did actually happen. What some people get puzzled by is the account in Genesis where stars were created on the fourth day of creation...
I took the thread title from Ezekiel 9:4. I have to admit, I am appalled with the latest article I read about the harvesting of organs from babies. You can read about these articles here:
Judicial Watch: New HHS Documents Reveal Millions in Federal Funding for University of Pittsburgh Human...
We already have a thread on about climate change but I wanted to discuss specifically that of drought. In certain locations around the world are in severe drought, even more devastating than it was during the Dust Bowl era. A recent article in Discover magazine warned that much of the United...
So there's been another murder. I just saw this article about 10 minutes ago Teens Guilty Of Murdering Boy 'Lured' To Park And Fatally Stabbed - Bing News , but I was provoked to comment on a more general aspect of murder. This post is more of a knee-jerk reaction than anything else. When I read...
So many people believe that they will go to heaven when they die. You go to a funeral, and the relatives that come up to speak, or the preacher, will say that the person is in heaven now. I suppose it is easy to hear and comforting in a sense to believe that your loved ones are in heaven, but...
I'll be typing this post out myself, as I do all my posts, but I'll use an article produced by my faith called 'Proving the Sacred Name From Your Bible" as my basis for this post. Why do the members of the Assemblies of Yahweh place such heavy emphasis on a Name? Is it merely to be different, or...
In my faith, we keep the dietary laws of Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. We believe that the Biblical Laws are for our benefit and keeping them produces a healthy mind and body. But in terms of swine, or indeed most of the things which are prohibited for us to eat, my conscience is sensitized...
Since the Assemblies of Yahweh observe the Holy Days of Leviticus chapter 23, some people have assumed that the Assemblies of Yahweh would look to the Jews to set the scriptural calendar since they also observe these identical Holy Days. This is not the case. It is true that because of the...
I thought it would be fun to ask users of RF to post a picture of themselves - but with a twist. It has to be 10 years old. I just thought it would be interesting to see people who might not necessarily have profile pics up like myself. I might not get any takers.
