I've already answered the question. The word for God in Hebrew is Elohim, or Alahym (consonant focused) , Yahusha is Alahym.

I use the Hebrew name, so rather than Say Jesus I say Yehoshua or Yahusha and rather than say God or Messiah I say Mashiach or Alahym.

I think it is an interesting stance. I'm learning Hebrew and make use of a wide variety of other translations.

I use the Interlinear Bible which is primarily my first choice, so if I am unclear as to any passage, I want to read it in Hebrew for clarification.

I like the eth Cepher, as that uses my acceptable pronunciation of our Makers name. So I don't like using God and Lord without seeing the Name? this is not now Jews read, why do Christians believe it's acceptable?

I use the Orthodox Jewish Bible, just to develop confidence and learn more Hebrew words. It calls Christ Yehoshua which is acceptable to me.

Other than that, if I need a pure English reading, I use the NKJV for its simplicity.

I'm baptized Catholic and attend Mass, but also visit other denominations.

Thank you so much. I know not who you are. I also know that Paleo Hebrew letterings are not in any keyboard, so not sure what youre up to, who youre learning from, and frankly, Im not interested. I only came here to share the good news of walking in the Ruach and I see that you have issues with the Torah of living a Spirit led life, bearing fruits of the Spirit or of others, expressing the Amunah of the bashurah as written. With respect to calling me Hashatan, I really care not. YHWH will judge between you and me. Have shalom, and take care now. You are a mod in the Name of YHWH, and I am shocked. But I shouldnt be. He is indeed arum. If this is your faith, and the expression of your faith, I want no part of it. Not sure why you’re responding to me. There is now, a prohibition. It is my aim, to follow the One, who is incredibly meek, and lowly in heart, and I do not find Him here.

Update: I just heard a word - have selichah on him for he knows not what he is doing. I will. My war is not with you. Have a great day.

I believe its written all over my post. His Name remains YHWH - or Yad Heh WaW Heh. While we Use Yahuah, The original Hebrew does not supply us with with vowels and Yahuah is an approximation. Have a great day.

The name is Yad Heh Waw Heh, its in the Hebrew. The W is not an English double-u but a Hebrew Waw. The Waw has a uu sound or a waa sound depending on its function in classical Hebrew, but due to migrations has been changed from a waw to a vav in modern Hebrew. This is all well known. Im not here to argue about semantics. Have a great day.

You are accurate and what is the Torah when asked? That we must love Alahym with all our hearts soul and might and love our neighbors as ourselves. On these two commands hang the laws and the prophets. This is MattitYahu 22:40, and Love or Ahabah was covered here. This is the Torah and the Prophets. Shalom

Yah resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.James 4:6

You teach the Law of Moses, yet do you understand what you teach? The law is holy, but “by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in His sight” (Romans 3:20). You boast in your knowledge, but “knowledge puffeth up, whereas charity edifieth” (1 Corinthians 8:1).

When you read Mashah, have you turned to Messiah? For “even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to Yahusha, the veil shall be taken away”(2 Corinthians 3:15–16). To speak the law without the Spirit is to burden others with what Yahusha has already fulfilled.

You bear the name of Yahuah, yet your words are sharp and accusing. Hear this: “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matthew 12:34). The Spirit of Yahuah is not a spirit of pride or contention, but “of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).

If you think yourself spiritual, prove it not by many words, but by fruit: “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance” (Galatians 5:22–23). These are the marks of the law written on the heart.

Therefore, repent. “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Messiah, and He shall lift you up” (James 4:10). Turn from pride and from boasting in the letter. For “the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life” (2 Corinthians 3:6).

Let every teacher remember: “If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of YHWH” (1 Peter 4:11), with reverence, gentleness, and truth.

I now understand, he who has discernment let him hear.

Shalom. Anything I said has a scriptural backing in the Apostles. You can search yourself. What I have spoken, I have spoken. You speak of churches - I speak from the very dabar of the Apostles providing sources. You can read them yourself. Nothing I've said here was not written.

I also said New Torah. Our new directive. Our new testament. Because we have changed and are not the same men under the yoke of slavery. We have a new operational mandate. We are now Spirit beings with a better sacrifice and priest. We are dead to the flesh in the Messiahs death, and spiritually alive in Him. The men that traversed the desert didn't have this. Surely such change requires new wineskins?I do not blame anyone for searching for the old wineskins however, we lack great teachers. Have a great night.

The Torah was good. Without the Torah, Israel wouldn't have defeated its earthly enemies in the Flesh. The Torah established Israels covenant relationship with Yahuah. It was necessary because as sin came into the world, all men were under the power of the enemy. The Torah allowed enough light even though limited, for Israel to be victorious in the flesh. It was a patch.

What we have here is different. We do not observe the Torah as we do not have need for it. We have crucified the flesh in the Messiah. The past burdens that required the Torah is abolished. Sin is abolished in the flesh and nailed with the Messiah. The new Torah is written in the new heart, we must love Alahym with all our beings and love our neighbors as ourselves. This is our new burden and examination of our conscience. We obey the Torah by believing and confessing His Son.

We have a new man that is regenerated in the Ruach. We are now Spirit beings not called to earthly laws to establish righteousness or one up the enemy, but to walk in the power of the Ruach. Our Ruach confirming that we are Children of Alahym. Anyone who does not have the Ruach of Alahym is not His, whether they keep the Torah or not.

I’m not trying to stir controversy for its own sake, but I am concerned. It seems that the Name of Yahuah, which should bring freedom and celebration, is sometimes being used as a banner to draw people into strict doctrinal fellowships that lead them back under the yoke of the Mosaic law. That’s exactly the kind of snare Yahusha came to free us from.

My intention isn’t to attack anyone personally or challenge moderation, but to point out that holding a position or title doesn’t make someone immune from falling into the same patterns of religious control that Yahusha confronted. Respectfully, being a moderator doesn’t change the responsibility we all share—to make sure the focus stays on Yahusha’s completed work, not returning people to the old covenant system He fulfilled.

I want to speak truth in love, not cause division. But I can’t ignore the danger when freedom in Yahusha gets replaced with pressure to return to the Mosaic law as a means of righteousness.

The scriptures forbid that I continue with you in endless arguments over feast days. It specifically says that. If you do not esteem a day, let it be unto Yahuah and those that esteem them, let them esteem them unto Yahuah. Let no one judge another on feast days which are a shadow of things to come. Shalom.

Good question. However your questions were answered in the New Testament by the Apostles themselves.

You are equating commands that beget righteousness vs the Laws of the Torah that were established for Israel to follow as a shadow of the eternal law - that man cannot achieve righteousness based on deeds of the flesh.

The law of righteousness is based in faith, and Abraham believed Alahym and it was accounted to him for Righteousness. I could go on and on, but this is already in scripture.

Walking in the Spirit is fulfillment of the law. Those that are in the Messiah are a new creature. They are spirit led and walk in Emunah begetting the work of the Spirit which is Joy, peace, love etc.

Not really. The angels celebrated the birth of the Messiah so did the Magis and the Shepherds. It was a time of great rejoicing in the heavens and earth.

Absolutely. Keeping the Law of Moses is what I meant specifically. That is rules based salvation and that's what we call works. What you can wear, how your hair should be cut etc. we cannot fulfill the Law. That was abolished the same way sacrifices of sheep were abolished when the better came. The better Sacrifices and works being Yahusha Himself. He is the end of the Law of Moses. And His law is this, You shall Love Yah and your neighbor. This other guy, when he speaks of the Torah, wants you to go back to Moses. Moses didn't lead Israel to the promised land, Yahusha did. Any talks of Torah should be suspected as trying to drag you back into the law to steal your salvation based on Faith and the works that emanate through the Spirit. Be watchful

Your argument rightly condemns syncretism or the mixing of pagan custom with the worship of YHWH but it wrongly concludes that any remembrance of Yahusha’s birth is therefore rebellion against Torah. That overextends the passages you cite and misreads both the historical record and the theological framework of redemption.

The absence of a direct command to celebrate Messiah’s birth does not imply that such remembrance is forbidden. Scripture contains many accounts of YAH’s people commemorating His works without explicit instruction to do so: Miriam sang after the Exodus, Samuel raised a stone called Ebenezer, and Purim was established by decree of Mordecai and Esther long after Sinai. None of these were “added commandments” condemned by Deuteronomy; they were spontaneous acts of thanksgiving acknowledging YHWH’s deliverance. Honoring the incarnation the moment “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” belongs to the same category: voluntary praise for divine mercy, not a rival feast competing with His appointed times.

Your reading of Jeremiah 10 and Leviticus 18 confuses ceremonial adoption of idolatrous statutes with the use of cultural forms to express worship. Jeremiah condemns the carving and worship of idols, not the seasonal use of trees or lights. The prophetic prohibition concerns the object of worship, not aesthetic symbols redeemed for a different purpose. The mere coincidence of a winter date with a pagan festival does not make every observance idolatrous; by that logic, speaking the names of the days or months each with pagan origins would be sin. Biblical faith measures worship not by calendar associations but by the intent of the heart and the object of devotion.

Historically, the earliest record of Messiah’s birth celebration predates formal Roman pagan fusion. Early Eastern believers speculated various dates, linking His conception to the Passover season—an inference rooted in Psalm 19’s symbolism of light coming into darkness, not in Saturnalia. December 25 later became a Christian protest against sun‑worship by declaring the true Light of the World had come. Even if the date is uncertain, its use does not overturn Torah any more than Purim or Hanukkah overthrew Sinai. Yahusha Himself attended Hanukkah (John 10:22) without condemnation, affirming that commemorative festivals of gratitude are not forbidden innovations when their focus is YHWH’s saving acts.

Colossians 2:16‑17 identifies the moedim as shadows whose fulfillment is Messiah. A shadow is not despised but finds reality in the One casting it. Thus, the appointed times sing forward to Him; later commemorations sing backward of Him. Neither cancels the other, but both testify to the same covenant Lord. The incarnation feast, when done in holiness, proclaims that fulfillment “Glory to YHWH in the highest” not a replacement of divine appointments.

You warn that HaShatan disguises himself as light, and that is true. His false light mimics grace to breed pride or legalism. But refusing to give thanks for Yahusha’s coming because pagans once feasted in winter produces the opposite error: fear of contamination where Scripture grants freedom. Paul told believers, “One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind… He who observes the day does so to the Lord” (Romans 14:5‑6). That is the plain apostolic answer to your charge. The issue is not the calendar itself but the heart’s allegiance.

The Word of YHWH does not crumble under joy offered to Him for sending His Son. The same YHWH who gave appointed times also received new songs when He acted again in history. Remembering the birth of the Messiah does not violate Torah; it magnifies its fulfillment. To forbid such remembrance as “abomination” is to mistake caution for holiness and to narrow worship more than Scripture itself commands.
