<p class="has-text-align-left">Historically and presently, many people worldwide have struggled to thoroughly comprehend the depth of the Scriptures. Whether it be the Scriptures Christian theologians divided and labeled, the New and Old Testaments (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcion_of_Sinope" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marcion of Sinope</a>) or the non-canonical Apocrypha Scriptures ruled out by various councils, synods, Christian theologians, kings, and popes of the Roman Catholic Church (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">St. Jerome</a>).</p>



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



<p>This lack of knowledge stems not from a weak desire to know and understand the truth, but rather from the influence of Ha-satan&#8217;s lies, illusions, and delusions that persuade the hearts and minds of people away from the truth. These lies, illusions, and distractions Ha-satan presents today are just as powerful and overwhelming as the ones he used to deceive Eve in the garden. The only difference is that Ha-satan has had millenniums to refine his lies, adapt them to the everchanging worldly cultures he manufactured, and change the vessel that speaks his venomous lies and deceit from a snake to humans.</p>



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



<p>Before we move on, let me reemphasize this crucial point to ensure your understanding of this matter is crystal clear. What has been done up to this date concerning the Bible, theologies, and traditions is not an accident. Through the ages, the devil has methodically and deliberately placed obstacles directly in our paths to steer humanity away from a genuine understanding of the 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and his Scriptures. Understand, Ha-satan needs<strong> </strong>to divert our hearts away from genuinely knowing 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Tseva&#8217;oth, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 (Yahusha or Yahshua), and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s chosen people. It is in Ha-satan&#8217;s lies that many have concluded that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s laws (Torah), instructions, precepts, prophecies, and people no longer matter. <strong>Therefore, we must critically <a href="https://journalthyjourney.com/truth-or-illusion-part-1/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">evaluate doctrines</a> (Acts 17:11), regardless of their longstanding acceptance or endorsements by others, to ensure their validity.</strong> Furthermore, we must abandon the idea that we should believe something simply because others (false prophets and <a href="https://journalthyjourney.com/who-have-you-been-listening-to-charismatic/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">charismatic ministers</a>) say so (1 Timothy 4:1). Let&#8217;s not allow ourselves to be led astray from the truth.</p>

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



<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">How this Happened</h3>



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



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Dividing the Scriptures into three parts: Old Testament (OT), New Testament (NT), and Apocrypha (<em>We will not discuss the Apocrypha today</em>).</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Dividing the Scriptures has led many to skip over or forgo the reading, studying, or comprehension of the OT. Most doctrines of demons don&#8217;t outright teach people not to read the OT. However, they teach from an anti-Torah perspective and repeatedly repeat phrases like &#8220;Jesus nailed the law to the cross,&#8221; &#8220;The law is in the OT, which was done away with,&#8221; and &#8220;Things in the OT were for the Israelites, not us.&#8221;. These teach that the OT is outdated and irrelevant, so don&#8217;t bother with it. It&#8217;s important to point out the hypocrisy in Christianity as the OT is not obsolete or irrelevant when speaking about Tithing.</li>



<li>If the NT is taught alone, by what bases can you confirm or teach that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 (Yahusha or Yahshua) is the Hamashiach (Messiah)? <strong>You can&#8217;t! </strong>The OT provides the historical and foundational context of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and His will, laws (Torah), instructions, precepts, prophecies, and people. It also contains the words of the prophets. It tells the history of the Hebrew people who were chosen by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to convey His prophecies and promises.</li>



<li>𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 (Yahusha) magnified the OT by quoting the OT in more than 10 percent of His recorded words in the NT. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 emphasized that He did not come to abolish 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s law (Torah) or the Prophets such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Joel, Zechariah, Amos, Hosea, etc., (Matthew 5:17). The Law and the Prophets are both located in the OT, and many of the prophecies they prophesied have yet to be fulfilled, so why would one dismiss or overlook the OT. It&#8217;s essential to recognize the impact of prevailing theologies on your mindset when understanding the Scriptures.</li>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>Evidence of Ha-Satan’s Spirit on His People</strong></h3>



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



<p>Most are unaware of the impact that Ha-satan and his children had on the Bible and the Christian religion, values, doctrines, and many manufactured traditions. <strong>I will provide five</strong>; however, if you research this further, you will undoubtedly uncover more truth.</p>



<p>1. &#8211; <strong><a href="https://www.britannica.com/story/what-was-hadrians-relationship-with-his-jewish-subjects" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Emperor Hadrian</a></strong> (Destroyer of the Jews) sold all Jew prisoners into slavery, banned circumcision, forbade the keeping of the Sabbath, and <strong>prohibited the teaching of the Torah</strong>. He hated the Jews so much that, according to Christian historian <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eusebius" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eusebius</a>, Emperor Hadrian banned Jews from the city of Jerusalem and the surrounding area and attempted to erase their connection to it by changing its name from Yerusalem to Aelia Capitolina, <strong>colonizing it with a different race</strong>, and many other atrocities. <strong>***Disregraud of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s Law and People***</strong></p>



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



<p>2. &#8211; Some <strong>Jews and TARES</strong> in the early church started observing Sunday, which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 never commanded, and the 7th day Sabbath (Saturday), which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded. They added Sunday worship because of the false teaching that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 was raised on Sunday. However, to avoid prosecution from the government and ostracism from society for &#8220;Judaizing,&#8221; they began to forsake the actual Sabbath and the teaching of the Torah to show their separation and to prove that they were Christians, not Judaizers. And so the 4th commandment of observing the Sabbath faded away for many due to fear and false doctrine. <strong>***Disregraud of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s Law***</strong></p>



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



<p>3. &#8211; Other <strong>Roman Emperors</strong> added, adjusted, and removed laws pertaining to Jews and the Torah; Emperor Constantine was one of them. He added significance to the early Christian TARES and made the first day of the week &#8220;Sunday,&#8221; a day of rest, instead of the seventh day, &#8220;Saturday,&#8221; as the Torah/Bible commanded. <strong>***Disregraud of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s Law***</strong></p>



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



<p>4. &#8211; <strong>The Pope of the Catholic Church</strong> added more force to disregarding the Torah and the Sabbath. In A.D. 325, Pope Sylvester officially named Sunday &#8220;the Lord&#8217;s Day.&#8221; In A.D. 338, Eusebius, the court bishop of Constantine, wrote, &#8220;All things whatsoever that it was the duty to do on the Sabbath (the seventh day of the week) <strong>we</strong> (Constantine, Eusebius, and other bishops) have transferred to the Lord&#8217;s Day (the first day of the week) as more appropriately belonging to it.&#8221; <strong>***Disregraud of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s Law***</strong></p>



<p>As we discussed in parts 2-3, the Roman Empire and its religious arm, the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), were the &#8220;superpower,&#8221; so whatever they said was followed. For those who did not follow their orders, persecution or death would follow. If the Pope can still wield his somewhat diminished power today, think of his power and influence when Rome was the superpower and its effect on Christianity in its infancy. </p>



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



<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>Quotes from the Catholic Church</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Archbishop of Venice, before becoming POPE PIUS X, Catholic National, stated: &#8220;The Pope [Bishop of Rome] is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ Himself hidden under the veil of flesh. ***<strong>BLASPHEMY</strong>***</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>&#8220;Take care that we lose not that salvation, that life and breath which thou hast given us, for thou art our shepherd, thou art our physician, thou art our governor, thou art our husbandman, <strong>thou art finally another God on earth</strong> …&#8221;- 1512 Christopher Marcellus said this to Pope Julius II: ***<strong>BLASPHEMY</strong>***</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>This ancient Catholic document, Extravagantes Johannes, refers to the Pope as &#8220;<strong>Our Lord God the Pope</strong>.&#8221; Source: John Treat, The Catholic faith, or, Doctrines of the Church of Rome contrary to Scriptures (1888): 536. ***<strong>BLASPHEMY</strong>***</li>
</ul>



<p>***There are many more. Please research further on your own.***</p>



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



<p>5. &#8211; <strong>Church Reformers</strong>, most if not all, were former Antisemitic Catholics. The Protestant Reformation movement produced the alarming number of Christian denominations and theologies we see today. Reform leader Martin Luther put the final nails in the coffin of Torah and Sabbath observance for most Christian Denominations by ignoring <strong>𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s </strong>commandment of keeping the Sabbath and instead followed the commandment of the pope. Even though Reformers exited the RCC, they kept many other incorrect practices as well, such as idol worship, anti-Torah ideology, <strong>persecution of Yahshar&#8217;el</strong>, etc., as you will see in the Quotes from the leader below.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/martin-luther-quot-the-jews-and-their-lies-quot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Quotes from Martin Luther</a>, and yes, this is the same Martin Luther that inspired Michael King Sr, so much so that he changed his name and the name of his oldest son from Michael King Sr. and Jr. to <strong>Martin Luther</strong> King Sr. and Jr.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>&#8220;First, that their synagogues be burned down, and that all who are able toss in sulfur and pitch; it would be good if someone could also throw in some hellfire. That would demonstrate to God our serious resolve and be evidence to all the world that it was in ignorance that we tolerated such houses, in which the Jews have reviled God, our dear Creator and Father, and his son most shamefully up till now but that we have now given them their due reward&#8221;.  <strong>***Hatred for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s chosen people***</strong></li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>&#8220;But what will happen even if we do burn down the Jews&#8217; synagogues and forbid them publicly to praise God, to pray, to teach, to utter God&#8217;s name? They will still keep doing it in secret. If we know that they are doing this in secret, it is the same as if they were doing it publicly. For our knowledge of their secret doings and our toleration of them implies that they are not secret after all and thus our conscience is encumbered with it before God&#8221;. <strong>***Hatred for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s chosen people***</strong></li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>&#8220;Now just behold these miserable, blind, and senseless people &#8230; their blindness and arrogance are as solid as an iron mountain. <strong>***Hatred for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s chosen people***</strong></li>
</ul>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Conclusion</h3>



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



<p>The historical and theological landscape surrounding the Scriptures has been shaped by deliberate actions and ideologies designed to obscure the truth of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. From the early division of the biblical canons (NT, OT, and Apocrypha ) to the modern re-interpretations of basic teachings, it is clear that Ha-satan&#8217;s influence via Tares has perpetuated a cycle of deception that has misled countless believers. This manipulation has encouraged a pervasive misunderstanding of the Old Testament/Torah and the significance of the Sabbath, while insinuating that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄&#8217;s chosen set-apart people, Yahshar&#8217;el (so-called black people) are suitable for slavery but otherwise worthless and don&#8217;t matter.</p>

<p>As we navigate these complex issues, it is crucial to approach the faith with discernment, critically evaluating doctrines and teachings against the entirety of Scripture. Everyone is responsible for seeking the truth. Truth free from the biases of tradition and the appeal of popular belief. We must commit to understanding the Bible in its full context, recognizing the Old Testament and its integral role in the New Covenant and future prophecies. Ultimately, your faith should be grounded not in the interpretations of men but in the unchanging Word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. Only then can you truly align ourselves with His will and purpose, guarding against the lies that seek to lead us astray.</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>

<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>

<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>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Doctrine Example
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<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>
</ul>
</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>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



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



<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>
</ul>



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



<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>
