<p>Throughout the past few weeks, we have examined some difficult and complex issues surrounding names, oppression, slavery, occupation, and race. For some, the biblical perspectives have provided profound and meaningful insight. In contrast, others have found these last few&nbsp;<a href="https://journalthyjourney.com/blog/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Food for Thoughts</a>&nbsp;uncomfortable and heartbreaking. Despite the emotional reactions that these discussions may have prompted, we must continue in the pursuit of becoming reeducated with the truth.</p>



<div style="height:31px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>We must push forward to explore these issues to gain an even deeper understanding of their impact on our society&#8217;s past, present, and future. The three-part strategy that we have been discussing is more inclusive than the&nbsp;<a href="https://journalthyjourney.com/does-your-name-matter-or-should-someone-rename-you-part-1/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yahshar&#8217;elite&#8217;s slavery in Ancient Babylon</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://journalthyjourney.com/does-your-name-matter-or-should-someone-rename-you-part-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Transatlantic Slave trade</a>.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Through the Lens of the Religion (Christianity)</h3>



<div style="height:31px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Reeducated</h4>



<p>Religions (Roman Catholic, Protestant, Judaism, and others) and world governments have slowly and meticulously reeducated and conned the masses over the centuries into following false doctrines. Through&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncretism" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">syncretism</a>&nbsp;and inculturation, they authorized different ideas, worship practices, and lifestyles to merge into what people currently know as Christianity. Unless you&nbsp;<a href="https://journalthyjourney.com/category/how-is-your-study-life/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">read and study your Bible regularly</a>&nbsp;and test everything (Acts 17:11), you will not be able to see the camouflaged paganism that influences multiple aspects of Christianity and the reeducated people.&nbsp;</p>



<div style="height:31px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Far removed are the days when Nazarene (Christians) were known and persecuted for obeying the<strong>&nbsp;law and following Yahshua</strong>. Far removed are the days when the Nazarene and followers of The Way stood for righteousness. Now, many &#8220;Christians&#8221; live in the hidden delusion or according to their own hearts desire.&nbsp;<strong>But how did we get here?</strong>&nbsp;The answer is simple: the masses, including me at one time, were educated and reeducated by both learned and unlearned&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clergy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">clergy</a>, family members, friends, and the world with camouflaged paganism. Let&#8217;s look at what the Bible teaches and then what man teaches.</p>

<div style="height:31px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Yahuah has given His children&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/KGF5SdEUFuo?si=eW3V9Q8T8ru_fdbo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yahshar&#8217;el</a>&nbsp;and grafted in branches (Romans 11:17-31) Feast Days. Days for spending time with Him and fellowshipping with family (the body of Yahshua), because truly your family is who Yahshua pointed out in Matthew 12:48-50. Throughout history, people have often turned away from the teachings of the Bible and its traditions that have been passed down to them. Instead of observing the holy days and feasts that have been appointed, many have chosen to celebrate man-made (artificial) holidays. This disobedience can be attributed to a number of factors, including a desire for greater freedom and autonomy, exposure to paganism and other similar ideologies, a lack of faith in religious institutions, a growing sense of&nbsp;<strong>individualism, </strong>or being reeducated with <a href="https://journalthyjourney.com/who-have-you-been-listening-to-charismatic/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">false doctrine</a>. Whatever the reasons, it is clear that this trend has profoundly impacted how people approach faith and tradition in the modern world.&nbsp;</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Days and Feast Days to Celebrate and Observe</h3>

<p>The 7th Day of Every week is a day of rest. The Shabbat would be Saturday on the Gregorian calendar that most of the world follows. Pope Gregory XIII established the Gregorian calendar in 1582 through the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_gravissimas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">papal bull Inter gravissimas</a>. Yes, the Western world, along with other parts of the world, has been reeducated several times, has followed the Pope&#8217;s orders, and continues to do so. Check out the <span data-wikipedia-preview="" data-wp-title="Blue law" data-wp-lang="en" class="wmf-wp-with-preview">Blue Laws</span> around the world.</p>

The setting apart of the Shabbat day as Holy goes back to the beginning of &#8220;Creation.&#8221; The Hebrew word for &#8220;rest or rested&#8217; is &#8220;Shabbat&#8221;.</li>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Man Made Feast Days or Holidays</h4>



<div style="height:31px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Ash Wednesday</strong>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;<em>Pagan&nbsp;</em>&#8211; There are two days of celebrated overindulgence and revelry. The first is&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Monday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Collop Monday</a>, a day dedicated to consuming eggs and&nbsp;<strong>bacon</strong>. The second is Fat Tuesday, also known as Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, or&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mardi_Gras" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mardi Gras</a>. These two days lead up to Ash Wednesday when Christians receive an ash mark on their forehead as a sign of fasting, which goes against the teachings of Yahshua (<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Matt%206.16-18" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matt 6:16-18</a>). The fast goes for 40 days. This practice is also mentioned in scripture, where women worshiped Tammuz, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 called it an abomination (Ezekiel 8:13-15). The mourning of Tammuz is also a 40-day annual practice that is initiated with the placement of the TAU symbol on the foreheads of worshippers, similar to the use of ashes on Ash Wednesday. The tradition of using ashes on the forehead has its origins in Hinduism. Were the people reeducated with Ash Wednesday in place of Tammuz worship and Hinduism practices?</li>



<li><strong>Lent&nbsp;</strong>&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Pagan&nbsp;</em>&#8211; Is the continuation of Collop Monday, Fat Tuesday, and Ash Wednesday. Christians say that Lent is a forty-day fast to honor JC. The truth is that Tammuz was worshipped and mourned for 40 days. This is a continuation of Tammuz worship.&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>Saint Patrick&#8217;s Day</strong>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Pagan&nbsp;</em>&#8211; The origins of the day can be traced back to a pagan solar holiday that was created to worship the Sun&#8217;s warmth, light, and rebirth. This ancient festival was intended to usher in the Ostara festival, which shares many symbols with Easter, such as spring flowers, butterflies,&nbsp;<strong>rabbits</strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>eggs</strong>. On March 17th, the world celebrates St. Patrick&#8217;s Day, one of the two days in a year when an Equilux occurs. An Equilux is when the night and day are equally 12 hours long. Following this, the Spring Equinox begins, which is when the Sun passes directly over the equator. This event is considered the start of the Sun&#8217;s rebirth, recognized by the days becoming longer or the Sun ruling most of the day.</li>



<li><strong>Good Friday</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Easter &#8211;&nbsp;</strong><em>Pagan&nbsp;&nbsp;</em><strong>&#8211;&nbsp;</strong>Watch&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/gve6xq7Cj0w?si=9t3r1jY7a1zhm48f" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Video 1</strong></a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/tKyDhv7U8Dc?si=BySX-PWY3T5HPcKW" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Video 2</strong></a>&nbsp;to discover the pagan origins of Easter. Were the people reeducated with Easter in place of Ostara or <span data-wikipedia-preview="" data-wp-title="Inanna" data-wp-lang="en" class="wmf-wp-with-preview">Ishtar</span> worship?</li>



<li><strong>Christmas</strong>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;<em>Pagan&nbsp;</em>&#8211; Watch&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/YEDXBmMv5zE?si=ZKk4-T7u7vOXkga3" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Video 1</strong></a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/gKFao146rU4?si=gGzk2PdHebtPyv_X" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Video 2</strong></a>&nbsp;to discover the pagan origins of Christmas.</li>



<li><strong>Valentine&#8217;s Day</strong>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;<em>Pagan&nbsp;</em>&#8211; Watch this&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/alhcW6uR3uU?si=FiQzOXe6nnryZMg_" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Video</strong></a>&nbsp;about the pagan origins of Valentine.</li>

<li><strong>Sunday Christian Shabbat</strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>The Lord&#8217;s Day</strong>&#8211;&nbsp;<em>Pagan</em>&nbsp;&#8211; dies Solis, the Day-of-the-Sun. Pagans have been worshipping the Sun since Nimrod established Babylon. Sunday has been used to worship the Sun as&nbsp;<strong>Baal (Lord)</strong>, Bel, Shamash, Molok, Ahura-Mazda, Dagon, Sol, Marduk,&nbsp;<strong>Mithras/Apollo</strong>, Krishna, Amon-<strong>Ra,&nbsp;</strong>Aton, Woden (Odin), Zeus, Deus, and&nbsp;<strong>God</strong>. In 321 CE, Constantine decreed under the penalty of death that all people in his empire cease work on the Venerable Day of the Sun in honor of Mithras/Apollo. This mandate is still active in many countries worldwide, including the USA, as&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_law" rel="noreferrer noopener">Blue Laws</a>. It&#8217;s important to note that nowhere in the Bible does it state that the Shabbat was on the first day of the week or changed to the first day of the week.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2>



<p>Education is crucial to our lives. It shapes our perception of the world and guides our beliefs. However, in this information age, we have access to a wealth of resources that can help us discover the truth. We can follow the example of the Bereans in Acts 17, who diligently searched the scriptures to confirm what they were taught. We should not fear the discovery of truth, for it is the key to our freedom from the lies that Satan, religion, and world governments have told us. The Bible teaches in John 8:32 that the truth will set us free. We no longer have to live in ignorance and deception. Instead, we can embark on a journey seeking to become reeducated with the truth. This pursuit of truth requires us to be prayerful,&nbsp;<em>Ruach</em>&nbsp;HaKadosh lead, willing to fast, studier of the Bible, and diligent. We also must be willing to question our beliefs and examine the evidence for and against them. Only then can we develop a clear understanding of the world and the truth that lies within it and become reeducated with the truth.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Devils Idea(s)</h3>



<p>The devil, known as the deceiver in <a href="https://biblia.com/bible/esv/revelation/12/9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Revelation 12:9</a> and the father of lies in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208%3A44&amp;version=NIV" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">John 8:44</a>, along with his children, are skilled at implanting ideas in people&#8217;s minds. It is often through suggestions, subtle influence, mental manipulation, belief systems, and false religions that the devil and his children manipulate and influence the thoughts and beliefs of others. This means that they can skillfully plant ideas in your mind by nudging your thoughts in a particular direction, all with the intention of leading you astray from the truth and further away from&nbsp;<strong>Y</strong>AH <strong>𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄</strong> or יהוה.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>The ability to deceive and manipulate is a powerful tool, and it is something that Bible Believing Believers should be aware of when trying to discern what is true and what is not. To protect ourselves from the schemes of the devil and his followers, we must become true disciples of YAH <strong>𐤉</strong>𐤄𐤅𐤄. This involves the discipline of <a href="https://journalthyjourney.com/category/how-is-your-study-life/">studying the word</a> of YAH <strong>𐤉</strong>𐤄𐤅𐤄 daily, praying to Him daily, worshiping Him in spirit and truth daily, and allowing the Ruach to lead everyday. By doing so, we become more vigilant and discerning, which helps us avoid falling prey to the devil and his followers, especially the &#8220;<strong><a href="https://youtu.be/sGlMzIyK8ZI?si=aBjrboOu3WE1uh7a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tares</a></strong>&#8220;- those planted by the devil in the body of Yahshua, as mentioned in <a href="https://bible.oremus.org/?ql=271936002#:~:text=He%20put%20before%20them%20another,wheat%2C%20and%20then%20went%20away.&amp;text=So%20when%20the%20plants%20came,the%20weeds%20appeared%20as%20well." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matthew 13:24-43</a>.</p>

<p>The devil is responsible for drawing the world into the web of polytheistic deception, lulling many to sleep with this poison, causing them to serve and believe in his many-god, any-god, any god other than <a href="https://coyhwh.com/en/papers/pamphlets/How%20Is%20The%20Name%20Of%20Yahweh%20Pronounced.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YAH</a> יהוה theology. This very deception is how Satan will cause the inhabitants of the world to worship him under a one-world religion. It&#8217;s worth noting that the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/style/article/uae-abrahamic-family-house-david-adjaye-intl/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">One World Religion Headquarters</a> has already been constructed in Abu Dhabi and is supported by three of the world&#8217;s five major religions, namely <strong>Christianity</strong>, <strong>Islam</strong>, and <strong>Judaism</strong>. However, let&#8217;s not get ahead of ourselves and start from the beginning with the creator of Polytheism. It all started millenniums ago with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cush_(Bible)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cush</a>, the oldest son of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ham_(son_of_Noah)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ham</a> and grandson to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Noah</a>. So we will start there and then move on to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nimrod</a>(<a href="https://biblepaedia.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/nimrod-part-6-from-ginsburgs-legends-of-the-jews/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1</a>, <a href="https://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/topical.show/RTD/cgg/ID/388/Nimrod.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2</a>, <a href="https://biblepaedia.wordpress.com/nimrod/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">3</a>), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiramis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Semiramis</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumuzid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tammuz</a>, the creators of the mystery Religion(s) in Babylon&#8221; thousands of years ago.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">The Beginning of Polytheism</h4>



<p>Cush married Semiramis, and together, they had several children, but one of their most notable offspring was&nbsp;Nimrod, whose name means&nbsp;<strong>we will rebel</strong>. Nimrod was a skilled hunter and a mighty hero in the land before YAH יהוה (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2010%3A8-12&amp;version=NIV" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Genesis 10:8-12</a>). He also was the same Nimrod who arrogantly and rebelliously built the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tower of&nbsp;<em>Babilu</em></a><em>, better known as&nbsp;</em>Babel. Interestingly,&nbsp;<em>Babilu</em>&nbsp;means the gate of god, but it can also mean son of Bel. It is possible that Nimrod named the city after himself, as he was the son of Bel (Cush), which you will see in a moment.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Exaltation and Deification</h4>

<li>to make a god of</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>



<p>According to some historical records and writings, Cush exalted and deified himself as the pagan god Baal, Bel, and sun god Ra (<strong>father god</strong>). Semiramis deified herself as Ashtoreth, the Queen of Heaven (<strong>mother god</strong>). Cush would later be disgraced, and his wife Semiramis left him and married her son Nimrod. Nimrod took on the role of Baal (<strong>father god</strong>), usurping his father, either in addition to or instead of. Nimrod was later killed by his Uncle Shem for lifting himself up as a god and leading people into false worship. In an effort to remain Queen and maintain power, Semiramis somehow becomes pregnant with Tammuz and convinces the kingdom that she conceived Tammuz divinely by Nimrod-Baal and Tammuz is Baal Reborn (<strong>son of god</strong>). These deities held significant importance in the ancient world and were worshipped by many.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Mentioned in Scripture</h4>



<p>Although Semiramis is never mentioned in the Bible, her deified name, Ashtoreth, Asherah, and Queen of Heaven, are mentioned several times throughout scripture. Cush and Nimrod are not mentioned many times; however, just like Semiramis, their deified names, Baal and Bel, are mentioned a considerable amount. Tammuz, also known as Dumuzid<strong>,&nbsp;</strong>is mentioned in <a href="https://biblehub.com/ezekiel/8-14.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ezekiel 8:14</a>.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Satan&#8217;s Transition Throughout the Ages</h4>



<p>Cush, Nimrod, Semiramis, and Tammuz, the <a href="https://findinghopeministries.org/nimrod-the-mystery-religion-of-babylon/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Founders of Polytheism</a> (FOP), were all under the influence of Satan and his idea that man could be like YAH. Remember, it was Satan who told Eve in <a href="https://www.bibliatodo.com/en/bible/word-of-yahweh/genesis-3-5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Genesis 3:5</a> that she and Adam could be like the Most High. Satan also expressed that he wanted to exalt himself above YAH in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2014%3A12-16&amp;version=KJV" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Isaiah 14:12–16</a>. The FOP&#8217;s game plan was near-sided as they did not see the long game that satan was playing. FOP exalted and deified themselves to be gods for the short term to exert and maintain power and control, to be worshiped, and to be remembered in history. Satan&#8217;s plan was and still is to deceive the entire world through every dispensation. Look at the charts below, and you will see how Satan has transitioned throughout time using FOP as well as changing his name throughout cultures.</p>

<p>It is important to note that false deities created by man and Satan often share similar storylines. This can make it difficult to distinguish between them and to know what is true. In reality, there is no truth in any of it. All worship of these deities and other idols is worship of Satan. For example, there are stories about Sammaramis, also known as Ishtar (pronounced &#8220;Easter&#8221;), who supposedly became pregnant from the sun god Baal&#8217;s sun rays and gave birth to Tammuz from an egg. Similarly, Mirtha was also said to have been born from an egg.</p>



<p>Additionally, both Tammuz and Mirtha are said to have been born on December 25, along with other pagan gods and goddesses like Nimrod (Tammuz&#8217;s father), Horus, Dionysus, Osiris, Attis, and the Roman Catholic Jesus (birth by the Roman Catholic Virgin Mary also known as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Heaven" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Queen of Heaven</a>). These are all reimaginations of old pagan gods and goddesses. This is why YAH commanded the people of <a href="https://youtu.be/KGF5SdEUFuo?si=QQ2-h7TzZnwaVhg9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yahsharel</a> not to engage in idolatry and reminded them repeatedly that he never changes, unlike ever-changing false gods. This was true then and is still true today; we should not engage in idolatry, no matter how innocent it may seem or how long we may have kept an idolatrous tradition. We must worship in spirit and in truth only (<a href="https://www.bibleref.com/John/4/John-4-24.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">John 4:24</a>).</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Satan&#8217;s Goal</h3>



<p>Satan&#8217;s goal has always been to kill, steal, and destroy, and he will never change (<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+10%3A10&amp;version=AMPC" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">John 10:10</a>). Satan&#8217;s purpose with this deception and all of his deceptions is to <strong>get humanity to worship him by any means necessary</strong>, no matter the form. The polytheistic deception works well as it manipulates the human psyche by giving us the illusion of control through the liberty to worship whomever or whatever we choose. The&nbsp;<strong>idea</strong>&nbsp;of selecting a god that fits one&#8217;s needs is appealing to people as it also provides a sense of control&nbsp;<strong>over</strong>&nbsp;their religious practices. </p>



<p>Polytheism says there are multiple gods; select one that aligns with your personal beliefs or choose whichever god serves your specific needs. Unfortunately, people treat YAH the same way as if there is an El of the Old Testament and an El of the New Testament, and they need to pick one. One half chooses to follow the New Testament only and dismiss the Torah and Old Testament, calling it bondage when the truth is the New Testament quotes the Old Testament repeatedly. The other half only follows the Old Testament and misses out on <a href="https://journalthyjourney.com/category/what-is-sin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Salvation</a> through Yahshua. The polytheistic deception encourages people to choose a god based on their desires rather than seeking a deeper understanding of the Truth, and that truth is יהוה.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Truth about Created Things</h3>



<p>The actual truth is that there is only one EL, and His name is&nbsp;<strong>𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&nbsp;</strong>(יהוה) (<strong>see scriptures at the bottom</strong>). Serving, worshiping, and obeying any<strong>thing</strong> other than YAH is giving glory to Satan.</p>

<li>The Romans created the polytheistic doctrine of the Trinity. Yes, it is polytheism, and Yes, it&#8217;s a created doctrine, as the Bible never mentions the Trinity. The doctrine is a fundamental belief of most Christians. Yet, many struggle to provide a clear and concise explanation if asked. The reason is because it is complex, confusing, and&nbsp;<strong>not biblical</strong>. Please remember that Rome was saturated with paganism, and through&nbsp;<a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/syncretism" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">syncretism</a>, new beliefs were created and added to Christianity. The truth is YAH יהוה is EL, and His only begotten son is Yahshua; they are not one physically; they are echad like a husband and wife are echad, not as one being, but one in agreement, action, and thought. Yahshua points out the separation between Him and His Father when He proclaims in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biblestudytools.com/mark/10-18.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mark 10:18</a>, &#8220;No one is good except One, YAH יהוה.&#8221; Yahshua also clarified this in&nbsp;<a href="https://biblia.com/bible/esv/luke/22/42" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luke 22:42</a>&nbsp;when He talked to His Father (not Himself) and said, &#8220;not My will, but thine, be done.&#8221; Indicating that He has His own will and the Father has His own will. People, we do not serve an El with&nbsp;<a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9792-dissociative-identity-disorder-multiple-personality-disorder" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dissociative identity disorder</a>&nbsp;with three different personalities or entities in one (god the Father, god the Son, and god the Holy Spirit as a godhead). Consider <a href="https://www.bibleref.com/Revelation/3/Revelation-3-1.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Revelation 3:1</a> and <a href="https://www.bible.com/bible/1/REV.4.5.KJV" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Revelation 4:5</a>, which both say YAH has seven spirits. Also, consider Isaiah 11:2, which names those seven spirits. Does this mean that the godhead is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ennead#:~:text=%3A%20a%20group%20of%20nine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>enneadnity</strong></a> (<em>a word I made up like they made trinity</em>), nine in one (Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom, Spirit of understanding, Spirit of counsel, Spirit of power, Spirit of knowledge, and Spirit of the fear of the Lord)? Of course not. These are separate individual spirits. For example, you can read about the separate spirit of wisdom in Proverbs 8:22-31. It gives us the history of the spirit of wisdom before and during creation.</li>

<li>Idol Example
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>&#8220;All three major religions worship paganism in some form through stone and wood. Christians have the wooden cross, Muslims have the (Kaaba or black stone) in Mecca, and Judaism bows daily to the stone wall (Wailing Wall) in Jerusalem, which is the remains of the Roman Fort Antonia.&#8221;</em>&nbsp;(<a href="https://coyhwh.com/en/bibleDownloadPDF.php" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Don Esposito Study Note HRB &#8211; Deut 4:28</a>) It is not enough to say, be careful not to idolize &#8220;the cross&#8221; when the simple truth is that it has no place at all in our worship of YAH יהוה. We were never told to make a cross, bow down to it, make jewelry, or sing songs about it. This is a very dangerous thing that Christianity has created.</li>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Some of the Other Religions in the World.</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Hinduism &#8211; There are differing beliefs on the number of gods, with estimates ranging from six to thirty-three million and each god being unique. Some believe it&#8217;s 33 types of gods.</li>



<li>Buddhists worship and show reverence to Buddha by offering fresh flowers, lights, and lamps or burning fragrant incense at shrines with images of the Buddha. Some followers maintain personal shrines at home for private worship, aspiring to emulate Buddha. Although they claim Buddha is not a god but an enlightened being who has achieved freedom from the cycle of life and death, they create Buddha idols and worship them. Therefore, Buddha is their god, as their devotion is directed towards him.</li>



<li>New Age &#8211; Bows down to self, believing there is no one true way to pursue spirituality. These individuals choose to explore their spirituality without adhering to any specific set of beliefs or traditions. These people often follow their own intuition and inner guidance, seeking personal growth and self-discovery. On the other hand, there are those who hold a deep conviction that they are divine beings with complete control over their lives and destinies. They see themselves as sovereign entities, possessing an inherent power and wisdom transcending human limitations. (Proverbs 14:12)</li>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h3>



<p>Satan has created multiple roads that lead directly to him, but most of humanity is deceived, blinded, and unaware of it. Satan and his tares have changed the truth of Elohim into a lie. The great news is that you don&#8217;t have to be. Our Father has provided us with His Torah and Holy Scriptures for direction, His only begotten son for salvation, and His Ruach to guide us in our faith. We don&#8217;t have to be fooled by the devil and subjected to this world. However, if you spend all your time being&nbsp;<a href="https://journalthyjourney.com/what-is-distracting-you/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">entertained</a>&nbsp;by this world and the things of it versus in the Word of YAH and things of YAH, you will be deceived and probably already are.&nbsp;<strong>I employ you to come out of (her, them, or the world) and be ye separate.</strong>&nbsp;(2 Corinthians 6:17, Romans 12:2, Revelation 18:4). </p>
