FAQ

The Faith

Ans: Yes. You can access it under the Purpose section of our website.

Ans: Technically, yes. The word 'Christian' simply refers to one who is a partaker of Christ and His anointing. However, among our Messianic Hebrew Israelite-aware brethren as well as many in the Islamic community and others, the term has understandably come to represent the perversion of the faith of our fathers by Greco-Romanized usurpers. The same is true for the word 'God'.

We contend however, that what the usurpers practice is not TRUE Christianity, and these terms are legitimate - the term 'Christian' having been used by the apostle Kefa (Peter) for example (1 Kefa [Pet.] 4:16) - and therefore must no longer be co-opted by our enemies! We believe that for Hebrew Israelites to reject these terms is a strategic error - an unnecessarily divisive overreaction, given the fact that the majority of the very people we're called to reach still embrace this [legitimate] terminology.

Ans: Yes. We believe that without the blood of Y'shua being untainted through bypassing the seed of fallen man, that His sacrifice would be ineffectual in purging our consciences from dead works to serve the living Elohim. If His biological father were a mere man, we would yet be bound in the shackles of sin!

Ans: Absolutely. But we must be careful to point out however, that when we say 'Jesus' we are referring to Y'shua Ha Mashiach, the Hebrew Israelite Messiah - not to a false purveyor of Greco-Roman pseudo-Christian paganism conjured up by the enemy! At this hour - with a "white Jesus" now being widely referred to as "Yeshua" since the release of the Mel Gibson film "The Passion of the Christ" - the false image of a Caucasian 'Jewish' Christ clearly represents, as the scripture admonishes, "...another Y'shua whom we have not preached...".

Ans: The doctrine we teach came from the Most High by Y'shua ("Jesus") through the Holy Spirit unto the apostle Yashah, - rooted in and based solely, soundly and solidly upon the foundation of the 'Tanakh' (the Torah and the Prophets) and B'rit HaChadashah (the New Testament).

Ans: Traditional Baptist Christianity.

Are you affiliated with any Hebrew Israelite 'hate groups'?

Ans: We received the revelation of our identity and purpose as Messianic/Christian Hebrew Israelites by direct divine revelation, and not from any already established group or document of men. We have subsequently met and dialogued with several of the founders and key leaders of these groups, both in New York and here in Los Angeles, and believe them to be our brothers - but we do not share, nor can we accept any teaching that denies non-Hebrew Israelites access to the Covenant blessings of YAH.

Do you believe only Hebrew Israelites can be saved?

Ans: No. We believe that there are those from every nation, kindred, tribe, tongue and people who are predestined to be heirs and joint heirs with Hebrew Israelites as the sons of YHWH - an integral part of the Commonwealth of Israel. We do believe however, that the natural seed of Israel in Christ are the rightful and legal executors of the Covenants, and the primary heirs of the promises (Rom. 9:3,4). The natural obedient sons outrank the adopted sons - not due to inherent racial or national superiority, but simply as a matter of Kingdom order.
