Biblical Words Twisted by Religion & Restored by Truth
The Twisted Glossary
Biblical Words Twisted by Religion & Restored by Truth
A Modern Glossary of Words Devised from the Serpent’s Tongue
“Did Elohim really say…?” (Genesis 3:1)
The serpent has never stopped speaking. He whispers in seminaries, pulpits, and pews—repeating old lies with new language. Religion has given those lies a platform. Tradition has given them power.
Many of the most familiar words used in Christianity today no longer mean what Yahweh intended. Over time, the language of Scripture has been twisted—subtly redefined, softened, or distorted until it no longer carries the covenant weight it once held.
This glossary is not just a dictionary.
It’s a reckoning.
Each entry compares the misused version of a biblical term with the truth Yahushua lived and taught—restoring Hebrew foundations, scriptural clarity, and the weight of obedience to Yahweh’s commands.
These are not harmless misunderstandings.
They are deliberate distortions—designed to separate the people of Yahweh from His name, His ways, and His Son.
This is a resource for unlearning deception.
For breaking false foundations.
For walking back into covenant.
The time for comfortable confusion is over.
This is a call to return.
A call to “Come out of her, My people.”

Misused Meaning
Many Christians are taught that “the law” (Torah) is a curse—that it brings condemnation, bondage, or death.This belief comes largely from Paul’s writings, such as: “Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law...” (Galatians 3:13)
Truth Restored
Yahushua didn’t call His Father’s instruction a curse. He said:
“If you wish to enter into life, guard the commands.” (Mattithyahu / Matthew 19:17)
Yahushua ha’Mashiach was sacrificed to attone for— to redeem us from sin, not from obedience. The curse was never the Torah—it was our failure to keep it.
Scriptural References
Psalm 19:7 – The Torah is perfect
Deuteronomy 30:15–20 – Torah is life and blessing
Matthew 5:17–20 – Yahushua fulfills and upholds Torah
Matthew 19:17 – Obey the commands to enter life
Why It Matters
If you believe the Torah is a curse, you will:Reject the foundation of Yahweh’s covenant
Misunderstand Yahushua’s mission
Live in lawlessness while claiming grace
Be among those to whom Yahushua says:
“Depart from Me, I never knew you.” (Matt. 7:23)
Come Out of Her: Reflection
Have you unknowingly called Yahweh’s law a curse?
Now is the time to repent.
Have you accepted a gospel that frees you from obedience rather than from sin?
Now is the time to repent.
Return to Yahushua’s words. Return to the Torah. He is calling His people back to covenant—back to life. -
Misused Meaning
Many Christians are taught that “grace” means,
Unmerited favor
Freedom from the Law,
Freedom from effort
License to sin without consequence.
A free gift
In this distortion, grace becomes a blanket that covers rebellion, rather than a power that transforms.
Truth Restored
The Hebrew word often rendered as grace is ḥēn (חֵן) — meaning favor, beauty, or kindness.
In Greek, charis (χάρις)implies divine empowerment.
True grace is Yahweh’s kindness that empowers obedience, not excuses sin.
Yahushua’s favor calls us to walk in righteousness, not to reject His commands.
“For the favor of Elohim that brings salvation {this is talking about Yahushua} has appeared to all men, training us to renounce wickedness and worldly lusts, and to live sensibly, righteously, and reverently in the present age.” (Titus 2:11–12, ISR)
Scriptural References
Exodus 33:13 – Favor causes us to know Yahweh’s ways
Psalm 84:11 – Yahweh gives favor and esteem to those who walk uprightly
Titus 2:11–12 – Grace teaches us to reject sin
Jeremiah 31:33 – Yahweh writes His Law on our hearts
John 1:14 – Yahushua was full of favor and truth
Why It Matters
If you believe grace is permission to disobey, you will:
Ignore Yahweh’s commandments
Remain unchanged in your sin
Preach a false gospel of lawlessness
Miss the power Yahushua gave to walk uprightly
Grace without obedience is counterfeit. Yahweh’s favor is meant to restore us to covenant, not free us from it—only evil wants to be freed from what Yahweh created to bring us closer.
Come Out of Her: Reflection
Have you embraced a grace that costs nothing and changes nothing
Have you traded Yahweh’s holy favor for a manmade gospel of indulgence?
Does your grace please everyone but Yahweh?
Does Yahushua look upon your grace and weep?
“Come out of her, my people,” Return to Yahushua’s way.
True grace teaches, disciplines, and transforms the nations!
It doesn’t erase the Law—it writes it on your heart.🖤 -
Obedience {legalism}
Misused Meaning:
Obedience is often equated with “legalism”—a joyless, rigid attempt to earn salvation by works. Many believers are taught that striving to follow Yahweh’s commands is opposed to grace, and those who do so are labeled as prideful, misguided, or even heretical.
“You’re being legalistic.”
“God looks at the heart, not actions.”
“You don’t need to obey—that’s Old Testament.”
“That’s the God of the Old Testament… He’s not like that anymore.”
Truth Restored:
Obedience is love in action. God never changes, (Malachi 3:6). Yahushua said if we love Him, we will guard His commands (mitzvot). Obedience is not the opposite of grace—it’s the evidence of a life transformed by grace. It is relational, not transactional. Yahweh never asked for cold ritual—He asked for faithfulness.
“And hereby we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands.” (1 John 2:3, ISR)
What Yahushua Taught:
“If you love Me, you shall guard My commands.”
—John 14:15 (TSR2009)“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens.”
—Matthew 7:21 (TSR2009)Yahushua did not rebuke obedience—He rebuked hypocrisy. He didn’t destroy the Torah; He fulfilled and taught it.
Scriptural References:
Deuteronomy 10:12–13 – What does Yahweh require? Obey His commands.
Psalm 119:44–45 – Freedom is found in obedience.
John 15:10 – Yahushua kept His Father’s commands.
1 John 2:3–6 – Those who say they know Him must walk as He walked.
Why It Matters:
If obedience is labeled “legalism,” then rebellion is labeled “freedom.”
We excuse sin in the name of grace
We reject Yahweh’s covenant boundaries
We create a powerless Gospel that never calls people to holiness
We lose the fruit of the Spirit, which grows from obedience
Come Out of Her: Reflection
Have you been taught that obedience is optional?
Have you feared being labeled “legalistic” for simply obeying Yahweh’s commands?
Return to the narrow path.
Obedience is not bondage—it’s the way of love, life, and liberty.“This is the love for Elohim, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy.”
—1 John 5:3 (TSR2009) -
Fulfill {Torah Not Abolished}
Misused Meaning:
Many think "to fulfill" means to cancel, replace, or render obsolete.
Unfortunately, modern believers have been taught that when Yahushua said He came to "fulfill the law," it meant He came to end it—that His crucifixion abolished the Torah and ushered in a new era where grace means there's nothing left to obey. As though Christ did everything and so we do nothing.
This distortion has opened the door to lawlessness, spiritual laziness, and an emotional counterfeit of true faith—where obedience is optional, and church attendance replaces covenant living.
Sing a song, smile big, submit to your leaders, and tithe like your salvation depends on it…
All while claiming the Torah—the very foundation of Yahweh’s Word—is no longer relevant.
This isn’t freedom. It’s deception.
Truth Restored:
To “fulfill” (plēroō in Greek, מָלֵא malei in Hebrew) means to complete, uphold, bring to fullness, or carry out.
Yahushua fulfilled the Torah not by canceling it, but by walking it perfectly, teaching it truthfully, and embodying the promises of Yahweh from Genesis to Revelation.
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete.”
— Mattithyahu (Matthew) 5:17, TS2009He was the Passover Lamb, the Prophet like Moses, the Word made flesh.
He came to fulfill every word Yahweh had spoken—not so we could cast it aside, but so we could walk in it as He did.
What Yahushua Taught:
The Torah remains until heaven and earth pass away (Matthew 5:18).
Those who break even the least of the commandments and teach others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom (Matthew 5:19).
He rebuked the religious elite for nullifying the commands of Yahweh in favor of manmade traditions (Mark 7:6–13).
Yahushua restored the heart of the Torah—love for Yahweh and love for neighbor—not by reducing it to feelings, but by showing how to live it fully.
Scriptural References:
Genesis 3:15 – The promised Seed to crush the serpent
Exodus 12 – The perfect Passover Lamb
Deuteronomy 18:15 – The Prophet like Moses
Isaiah 53 – The suffering servant
Matthew 5:17–19 – Yahushua upholds the Torah
John 1:14 – The Word made flesh
Revelation 12:17 – The remnant keep the commandments and hold to Yahushua
Why It Matters:
If we believe that Yahushua came to abolish the Torah, we deny His identity as the Word made flesh.
We make Him a lawbreaker rather than a covenant keeper.
We follow a counterfeit “Jesus” made in the image of Rome, not the Messiah of Israel.To follow Yahushua is to walk as He walked—in obedience, in truth, and in love that fulfills the law because it lives it out.
Obedience is not legalism.
It’s loyalty to the One who fulfilled every word of His Father.Come Out of Her Reflection:
The modern church has replaced obedience with emotion, and covenant with convenience.
But Yahweh is calling His people back—out of the system, out of confusion, out of lawlessness—and back into alignment with His promises, His truth, and His Son.
Come out of her, My people.

Abide {vs. Passive Belief}
When Covenant was Replaced by Casual Christianity
The true Bride abides. She remains in the Word, walks in obedience, and bears fruit that lasts. The twisting of this word has led many to think they are saved when they have long since disconnected from the Vine.
✧ Misused Meaning:
Modern doctrine often reduces “abide” to simply believing or feeling connected to Yahushua. It’s treated as an abstract idea or emotional experience—without requiring obedience, endurance, or active dwelling in His Word.
✧ Truth Restored:
To abide (menō in Greek) means to remain, dwell, stay, continue. Yahushua’s call to abide is a command to remain in Him, in His Word, and in obedience.
Yahushua does not possess us. He does not put us on autopilot once He enters us. In every movement of the Spirit, we agree and consent—THIS is at the heart of what it means to abide.
We agree His ways are best.
We agree His Love supersedes all, and everyday we prove it over and over again, by the fruit we bear—just as He does.
This is what abiding, walking, and relationship mean.
His commands are active, ongoing, and essential for bearing fruit. Apart from abiding, we are cut off from the Vine.
✧ What Yahushua Taught:
“Stay in Me, and I stay in you. As the branch is unable to bear fruit of itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither you, unless you stay in Me.”
— John 15:4 (TS2009)“If anyone does not stay in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up. And they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.”
— John 15:6“If you stay in My Word, you are truly My taught ones.”
— John 8:31✧ Scriptural Reference:
John 15:1–11
John 8:31–32
1 John 2:6
Psalm 91:1
Revelation 3:10
✧ Why It Matters:
Without abiding, we are dead branches. The modern gospel teaches people to believe once and coast. But Yahushua teaches a Gospel of daily abiding, daily obedience, and daily faithfulness. Abiding is how we stay connected to the Source of life and bear fruit that remains.
✧ “Come Out of Her” Reflection:
Have you settled for belief without abiding?
Have you treated faith as a confession, instead of a continual dwelling in the Word, in Truth, in obedience?
Have you mistaken the Spirit for a feeling, or for control?
Are you walking in daily agreement with His Word—or simply waiting for Him to move without you?
“The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.”
—1 John 2:6 (TS2009)

Name Twisting: Yeshua, Yashua, Jesus — Why Yahushua Matters
Restoring the Name Above All Names
✧ The Counterfeit:
Modern Christianity has replaced the Name of our Savior with “Jesus”—a Greco-Roman name that erases both His Hebrew identity and His connection to Yahweh.
In Hebrew, names carry meaning. Identity. Covenant. And the name “Jesus” carries none of that. It’s not even a transliteration—it’s a replacement.
The name “Jesus” contains no reference to Yahweh, no root from yasha (salvation), and no prophetic meaning tied to Torah or the Prophets.
In fact, “Jesus” didn’t even exist until centuries later, after Greek and Latin scribes removed the Name of Yahweh from texts altogether.
✧ The Truth:
The real Name of the Messiah is Yahushua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ)
It means: Yahweh is salvationYahu = Yahweh
Shua = from yasha, to save, rescue, deliver
This is the name given by prophecy. The name that fulfills the covenant. The name that reveals WHO saves us and HOW.
“See, El is my deliverance, I trust and am not afraid. For Yah—Yahweh is my strength and my song; and He has become my deliverance (yeshuah).”
— Isaiah 12:2 (TS2009)“And she shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His Name Yahushua, for He shall save His people from their sins.”
— Matthew 1:21 (Restored Hebrew meaning)
✧ He Is YHWH in the Flesh
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…”
— John 1:14“Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father.”
— John 14:9“Before Abraham came to be, I AM.”
— John 8:58“And His Name shall be called… El Gibbor (Mighty God), Everlasting Father…”
— Isaiah 9:6
Yahushua is not a separate god.
Yahushua is Yahweh revealed in the flesh, the fulfillment of every promise ever made by YHWH.
He prayed because He had taken on our form—He walked as one of us—but He never stopped being the Son of Elohim, the arm of Yahweh, the Word who was with Elohim and was Elohim.
✧ Why the Name Matters:
“I have come in My Father’s Name and you do not receive Me…”
— John 5:43
Yahushua’s Name is not optional. It reveals His identity. To strip the Name is to strip the meaning. It’s why the dragon gave his image “a name of blasphemy.” (Revelation 13:1)
To call on the true Savior is to call on Yahweh’s Deliverance—not a Greek invention, not a soft imitation, not a plastic counterfeit.
✧ “Come Out of Her” Reflection:
Has your faith been placed in the name of a false identity?
Are you following the real Yahushua, or a Jesus crafted by church tradition?
“And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is no other Name under the heaven given among men by which we need to be saved.”
— Acts 4:12 (TS2009) -
Misused Meaning:
The titles “God,” “Lord,” and “Jesus” have been accepted without question by most modern believers. They appear in nearly every Bible, every worship song, and every sermon.
But these are not the names Yahweh gave us. They are substitutions—titles that crept in through Greek, Roman, and later church tradition. These names obscure the true covenant identity of the Father and Son.
The serpent's first attack was on what God said. The next was on Who He is.
Truth Restored:
GOD
A generic title used for many deities across cultures.
In ancient times, “god” could mean Baal, Zeus, El, or any number of spiritual powers.
Yahweh never introduced Himself as “God.” His Name is יהוה (YHWH)—Yahweh—the eternal I AM.
“I am YHWH, that is My Name, and My esteem I do not give to another…”
— Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 42:8LORD
The capitalized word “LORD” is a replacement for the Name YHWH in most English Bibles.
This began with Jewish scribes avoiding pronouncing the Name, and continued through Roman religious influence.
“Lord” is a title, not a name. The Hebrew word ba’al also means “lord”—and it was used for pagan deities.
Yahweh clearly commanded that His Name be remembered, honored, and proclaimed forever.
“This is My Name forever, and this is My remembrance to all generations.”
— Shemoth (Exodus) 3:15
JESUS
The name “Jesus” is a modern invention, unknown to the early believers.
It came from Greek (Iēsous) to Latin (Iesus), then was reshaped in English.
It disconnects Yahushua from His Hebrew identity and from Yahweh’s covenant Name.
His real Name is Yahushua (יהושע), meaning “Yahweh is salvation.”
“I have come in My Father’s Name and you do not receive Me...”
— Yohanan (John) 5:43What Yahushua Taught:
He revealed the Father’s true Name to His disciples (John 17:6).
He prayed to the Set-Apart Father, not a generic deity (John 17:11).
He declared that the Father’s Name was given to Him and manifested through Him (John 17:26).
Yahushua came in Yahweh’s Name, not as a substitute but as the living fulfillment of His promise.
Scriptural References:
Shemoth (Exodus) 3:15
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 42:8
Tehillim (Psalm) 68:4
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 23:27
Yohanan (John) 5:43; 17:6, 11, 26
Ma‘asei (Acts) 4:12
Why It Matters:
When the true Name is hidden, identity and authority are lost.
Calling on a generic title or mistranslation opens the door to counterfeit faith, false worship, and a powerless gospel.Yahweh said His people would know His Name, trust in it, and call on it for salvation. Replacing it changes everything.
A different name creates a different image, and a different image brings a different doctrine.
Come Out of Her Reflection:
The enemy has always attacked the Name first. If he can blur the identity of the Father and Son, he can lead the people astray.
Yahweh is restoring His Name to His remnant.
We are not saved by religion, tradition, or titles.We are saved by the covenant—by relationship, and the blood of Yahushua, the Son of Yahweh—who came in His Father’s Name and walked in His ways.
Come out of her, My people. Return to Me, and I will return to you.

The Trinity {vs. Echad}
Misused Meaning
The “Trinity” is often taught as three co-equal persons—Father, Son, and Spirit—each distinct yet somehow one. This doctrine, formalized centuries after Yahushua’s resurrection, turns Yahweh into a “Godhead” committee. Many believers now imagine three thrones in Heaven, or confuse Yahushua’s role as Son with a separate divine identity.
The “Trinity” doctrine teaches that God is three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—yet one being. This language isn’t found anywhere in Scripture. It was developed centuries after Yahushua by Greek-influenced theologians who tried to fit the mystery of Yahweh into philosophical categories of their own minds and teachings.
The result? Confusion, contradiction, and separation between Father and Son.
Truth Restored
Yahweh is echad (אֶחָד) — one. Not three-in-one. Not one-in-three.
Yahushua is the visible image of the invisible Elohim (Hebrews 1:3), the arm of Yahweh revealed (Isaiah 53:1), and the Word made flesh (John 1:14). He is not a second god, but Yahweh revealed to us in human form.The Set-Apart Spirit is Yahweh’s presence and breath—not a third being.
“Hear, O Yisra’ěl: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one!” (Debarim / Deuteronomy 6:4, ISR)
“Before Me there was no Ěl formed, nor after Me there is none. I, I am יהוה, and besides Me there is no saviour.”
(Yeshayahu / Isaiah 43:10–11, ISR)“He who has seen Me has seen the Father.”
(Yohanan / John 14:9)
Scriptural References
Deuteronomy 6:4 – Yahweh is one (echad)
Isaiah 43:10–11 – Yahweh alone is Savior
John 10:30 – “I and the Father are one”
John 14:9 – “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father”
John 17:3 – The only true Elohim is the Father
Why It Matters
If you believe Yahweh is a committee, you may:
Fail to understand the unity and holiness of His Name
Separate Yahushua from Yahweh, denying His identity
Worship “God the Son” instead of Yahweh revealed
Misinterpret the role of the Spirit as a separate entity
Yahushua never asked us to understand three persons. He asked us to believe in Him—Yahweh revealed in flesh.
Come Out of Her: Reflection
Have you unknowingly added to Yahweh’s oneness?
Have you been taught to divide what Yahweh never separated?
Come out of religious confusion.
Return to echad.
Yahweh is One.
Yahushua is His Name revealed to us.
He is not one-third of a trinity—He is the fullness of Yahweh in bodily form.
“I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who work lawlessness.”
— Matthew 7:23

THE GOSPEL { distorted }
Misused Meaning
Today’s mainstream Christianity often teaches that “The Gospel” means Yahushua died so you can go to Heaven—regardless of how you live. It’s sold as a free pass from Hell, with little mention of repentance, obedience, covenant, or sanctification.
In this false version, The Gospel is about believing in Yahushua, but not becoming like Him; (conforming to His Laws and His Ways=fruit). It’s about thanking Him, but not abiding in Him.
What this false version tends to leave out is that if we do not abide in Yahushua, then we do not produce fruit. Hence a reason many also fall away. This false version does not produce fruit.
Yahushua makes abiding the non-negotiable condition for bearing fruit. Without abiding, there is no fruit, no growth, no life in the vine.
Here is what He says directly:
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. Every branch in Me that bears no fruit He takes away. And every branch that bears fruit He prunes so that it bears more fruit. —(John 15:1–6 TS2009)
(See ABIDING for more)
Truth Restored
The word Gospel means “Good News”—but good news about what?
In Hebrew context, the Good News (besorah בְּשׂוֹרָה) is that Yahweh is restoring His covenant people through Yahushua, the promised Messiah.
Yahushua came to announce the Kingdom of Heaven, call the lost sheep of Yisra’ĕl back to Torah, defeat sin, and write the Law on our hearts ( Jeremiah 31:31-35).
“Repent, for the reign of the heavens has drawn near!” (Mattithyahu / Matthew 4:17)
“And this Good News of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all the nations…”
(Mattithyahu / Matthew 24:14)
Scriptural References
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 52:7 – The Good News is peace, salvation, and the reign of Yahweh
Mattithyahu (Matthew) 4:17 – The Gospel begins with repentance
Yeḥezqĕl (Ezekiel) 36:27 – Yahweh’s Spirit causes us to walk in His commands
Mattithyahu (Matthew) 7:21 – Not everyone who says “Master” enters the Kingdom
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 31:33 – The Covenant is written on our hearts
Mattithyahu (Matthew) 24:14 – The Gospel is about the Kingdom, not escape
Why It Matters
If you believe a distorted Gospel, you will:
Think belief is enough without transformation
Ignore Yahushua’s call to follow and obey
Remain in sin while feeling secure in a false salvation
Miss the prophetic purpose of the Kingdom
The Gospel isn’t just “good news” that Yahushua died—it’s power to live holy, be restored, and walk in covenant again.
Come Out of Her: Reflection
What Gospel have you believed?
One that saves you from sin, or one that leaves you in it?
Yahushua didn’t preach a Gospel of comfort. He preached the Kingdom of Yahweh—and that Kingdom is holy.
It begins with repentance, walks in obedience while being sanctified, and ends in restoration.Return to The True Gospel.
Let the Good News be His Word written on your heart.

Repentance {Redefined}
When Feeling Sorry Replaced Turning Back
✧ Misused Meaning:
In modern Christianity, repentance is often reduced to mere apology. It’s taught as feeling bad, saying “sorry,” or crying at an altar call—without any true return to Yahweh’s ways. Emotion is mistaken for change in behavior and true transformation.
But only Yahweh transforms.
Some believe repentance is a one-time event rather than a continual return to the path of righteousness. As long as someone “accepts Jesus” or says the sinner’s prayer—or calls upon the name of Jesus—they believe they have an in. They are told they’ve repented—no matter how they live afterward.
Understand—this is not the Good News of the Gospel.
✧ Truth Restored:
The Hebrew word for repentance is shuv (שׁוּב), which means to return—to turn away from sin and back to Yahweh’s covenant path.
In Greek, metanoeō (μετανοέω) means to change one’s mind—a total reorientation of heart, purpose, and direction.
Repentance is not just regret. It’s the act of leaving the broad road and returning to the narrow path of obedience.
In simple terms: Yahushua shines the light of truth upon us—and we repent to Yahweh, seeing how we have completely fallen short of the knowledge of Him.
We turn from our old ways, with the help of the Father and the Son, and we begin to be transformed into the image of Yahushua.
When this repentance is genuine, He frees us from the bondage of sin—one turning at a time. This is the process of sanctification.
And it is holy and good.
✧ What Yahushua Taught:
“Repent, for the reign of the heavens has drawn near.” — Mattithyahu (Matthew) 4:17 (TS2009)
“Bear therefore fruits worthy of repentance.”
— Luke 3:8 (TS2009)
Yahushua never separated repentance from obedience. He called people to turn—not just feel.
✧ Scriptural References:
Ezekiel 18:30 – “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions.”
Joel 2:12 – “Return to Me with all your heart.
Matthew 4:17 – “Repent, for the Kingdom is near.”
Luke 3:8 – “Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.”
Revelation 2:5 –“Remember… repent… and do the first works.”
✧ Why It Matters:
If we redefine repentance, we remove the very door back to Yahweh. A generation that feels conviction but doesn’t return is still lost.Without repentance, there is:
No reconciliation.
No cleansing.
No covenant.
Modern Christianity teaches sorrow without surrender—and that is not repentance—it’s guilt, self-pity, and regret.
✧ “Come Out of Her” Reflection:
Have you confused guilt with repentance?
Have you returned to Yahweh—or just felt bad?
Repentance is not a feeling.
Repentance is a change of direction.
Yahushua is calling His Bride to come out of Babylon, return to the ancient path, and walk in His ways.“Return, O backsliding children,” declares יהוה,
“for I shall rule over you.”
— Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 3:14 (TS2009)“Come out of her, my people!”

Believe {cheapened}
When Saving Faith Was Reduced to Mental Agreement
✧ Misused Meaning:
Today, “believe” has been watered down to mean intellectual acknowledgment. To say, “I believe in Jesus” is treated as proof of salvation, regardless of how a person lives.But demons believe and tremble at His Name (James 2:19).
They even obey His voice when He gives commands.
That doesn’t mean they’re abiding in Him.
That doesn’t mean they belong to Him.True belief is not passive agreement.
It’s not mere acknowledgment.
It is a relational trust, a life-altering allegiance that leads to obedience, surrender, and transformation.Entire theologies have been built around the idea that mental agreement alone is enough to be saved—no obedience, no change, no covenant required.
Modern belief says, “Just believe in your heart and you’re saved.” But this isn’t the belief Yahushua or the prophets taught.
Let me say this clearly. NO.
It’s not possession.
It’s not automation.
It’s abiding.He enters, but doesn’t override.
He invites, but doesn’t force.
He offers union, but not uniformity.It is a covenant partnership—we walk together.
He abides in us through His Spirit, and we abide in Him by obeying His Word.
That’s the life Yahushua modeled, and that’s the fruit He called us to bear.✧ Truth Restored:
The Hebrew concept of belief—aman (אָמַן)—means to support, to trust, to stand firm, to be faithful. It is active, not passive. In Greek, the word pisteuō (πιστεύω) means to entrust, to commit, to have faith in with obedience.True belief is not separated from action. Yahushua’s followers didn’t just believe what He said—they followed, obeyed, and trusted with their lives.
“By belief, Abraham obeyed.”
— Hebrews 11:8 (TS2009)Biblical belief always produces fruit.
✧ What Yahushua Taught:
“Why do you call Me, ‘Master, Master,’ and do not do what I say?”
— Luke 6:46“The one who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but the one who does not obey the Son shall not see life…”
— John 3:36 (TS2009)Yahushua equated belief with obedience. To believe in Him is to trust His voice and walk in His ways.
✧ Scriptural References:
• Deuteronomy 7:9 – “Yahweh your Elohim is trustworthy, guarding covenant and loving-commitment with those who love Him and guard His commands.”
• John 3:16 – “Whoever believes… shall not perish…” (belief that saves is abiding)
• John 3:36 – Belief and obedience are paired
• James 2:19 – “Even the demons believe—and tremble!”
• Hebrews 11:6 – “Without belief, it is impossible to please Him…”✧ Why It Matters:
If belief is merely intellectual, the enemy wins. He convinces people they’re saved while they walk in rebellion.The modern church teaches that “faith” is an emotion or opinion.
Yahushua teaches that faith is proven by fruit.
True belief transforms.✧ “Come Out of Her” Reflection:
Do you say you believe—but live like you don’t?
Have you entrusted your life to Yahushua, or just nodded in agreement?Faith without obedience is not faith.
Belief without trust is not belief.
Yahushua is calling us back to the ancient way—to believe like Abraham, follow like the disciples, and obey like the remnant.“And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands.”
— 1 John 2:3 (TS2009) -
Saved | Salvation{vs. Scriptural Deliverance}
When Rescue Became a Tagline Instead of a Transformation
✧ Misused Meaning:
In modern Christianity, “saved” is often used as a one-time event, a magic word, or a spiritual status upgrade.Say the sinner’s prayer, “accept Jesus,” and congratulations—you’re saved! No matter what you do after. It's treated like a stamp of approval or an insurance policy against hell.
This version of salvation is often disconnected from obedience, repentance, or covenant—which is why so many people never receive the healing they so desperately crave and desire.
This twisting has reduced the richness of salvation to a moment of emotional response, thus leaving the person to feel as though they are to blame is something is/is not achieved… But these experiences and verbal confessions—often completely detached from Torah (The Law), transformation, or Yahushua’s own teachings.
So ask yourself—where does one suppose these healings will come from?
✧ Truth Restored:
The Hebrew root for salvation is yasha (יָשַׁע), which means to rescue, to deliver, to make safe, to bring into freedom.
It is active. It is ongoing. It is covenant-based.
The Greek word sōzō (σῴζω) also implies healing, preservation, and deliverance from danger—not just “going to Heaven.”
True salvation is not a one-time event but a walk. Yahushua saves those who follow Him, remain in covenant, and endure to the end.
✧ What Yahushua Taught:
“He who shall have endured to the end shall be saved.”
— Matthew 24:13 (TS2009)“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens.”
— Matthew 7:21“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them everlasting life…”
— John 10:27–28
✧ Scriptural Reference:
Isaiah 43:11 – “I, I am יהוה, and besides Me there is no saviour.”
Psalm 34:17 – “The righteous cry out, and יהוה hears, and delivers them out of all their distresses.”
Acts 2:40 – “Be saved from this crooked generation!”
Philippians 2:12 – “Work out your own deliverance with fear and trembling.”
Hebrews 5:9 – “And having been perfected, He became the Causer of everlasting deliverance to all those obeying Him.”
✧ Why It Matters:
If we misunderstand salvation, we may never actually walk in it.
If we reduce being “saved” to a phrase or status, we disconnect from the daily walk of repentance, obedience, and abiding that Yahushua requires.
The true Gospel doesn’t offer cheap assurance—it calls us into covenant faithfulness that delivers us from sin and keeps us preserved in Him.
✧ “Come Out of Her” Reflection:
Were you told you were “saved” because of a prayer—but nothing in your life changed?
Have you traded the process of sanctification for the promise of security?
Being saved is not a badge we wear. It’s the fruit of a life that walks in covenant with the King.
“Come out of her, My people.”
“See, El is my deliverance, I trust and am not afraid. For Yah, יהוה, is my strength and my song; and He has become my deliverance.” — Isaiah 12:2

The Church vs. Assembly Ekklesia
Misused Meaning:
“Church” is commonly understood as a building, a denomination, or a new entity that began after Yahushua’s resurrection—separate from Israel or the Hebrew roots of the faith.Truth Restored:
The Greek word translated as church is ekklesia (ἐκκλησία), which means called-out ones, assembly, congregation. It aligns with the Hebrew qahal (קָהַל) used throughout the Torah and Prophets.Yahushua did not create a new religion—He restored and fulfilled the calling of Israel. The assembly is not a place; it is a people set apart.
What Yahushua Taught:
He said, “I will build My assembly (ekklesia), and the gates of Sheol shall not overcome it.” (Mattithyahu / Matthew 16:18).
He came to gather the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’ĕl (Mattithyahu / Matthew 15:24)
NOT to start a new institution, but to restore a remnant back to covenant with the Father.
Scriptural References:
Exodus 12:6 — The whole assembly of Israel
Deuteronomy 4:10 — Yahweh spoke to the qahal
Matthew 16:18 — Yahushua uses ekklesia
Acts 7:38 — Israel is called the assembly in the wilderness
Revelation 14:12 — The set-apart ones who keep Yahweh’s commands and the faith of Yahushua
Why It Matters:
If you believe Yahushua started a “new church,” you may:Sever your faith from Yahweh’s promises and covenant
Embrace man-made structures over Spirit-led obedience
Miss the prophetic identity of being grafted into Yisra’ĕl
Forget the call to be set apart as a priestly nation
Replace Yahweh’s design with a Roman substitute
Come Out of Her: Reflection
Have you mistaken “church” for a location or denomination?
Have you inherited a theology that begins in Acts instead of Genesis?
The assembly of Yahweh was never a building.
It is a people who walk in covenant, carry His Name, and await their King.Return to the assembly of the firstborn (Hebrews 12:23).
Come out of her, My people.

✧ Misused Meaning:
The word Christian was never Yahushua’s idea—it was a slur given by outsiders who mocked and persecuted His followers. Over time, it was adopted by poorly taught believers, institutionalized by religious systems, and used to mass-market a diluted gospel. Today, Christian is a cultural label applied loosely to anyone who believes in “Jesus,” attends church, or follows Christian traditions—regardless of whether they obey His commands.
✧ Truth Restored:
The Hebrew followers of Yahushua were never called Christians by one another—they were called taught ones(disciples), set-apart ones, and guardians of the covenant. The word “Christian” appears only three times in all of Scripture, and never on the lips of Yahushua. It was a label assigned by outsiders in Antioch (Acts 11:26). Yahushua never said, “Go make Christians.” He said, “Make disciples… teaching them to obey.” (Matthew 28:19–20)
✧ What Yahushua Taught:
“If you stay in My Word, you are truly My taught ones (disciples).”
— John 8:31 (TS2009)“I am the Way (haDerek), and the Truth (haEmet), and the Life (haChayim). No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
— John 14:6He called people to follow, obey, and remain in Him—not to take on a title, but to take up a cross. Yahushua never founded a religion—He called a remnant to walk The Way of covenant faithfulness.
✧ Scriptural Reference:
Acts 11:26 – First called Christians in Antioch (by outsiders)
Acts 26:28 – Agrippa mockingly says, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian”
1 Peter 4:16 – Peter reclaims the slur as a moment to glorify Yahweh, not as an identity
✧ Rightful Names:
Disciples / Talmidim (תלמידים) – John 8:31
Set-apart ones / Qedoshim (קְדוֹשִׁים) – Deut. 7:6
Natsarim (נָצַר) – Guardians of the Covenant – Isaiah 49:6
The Bride of Mashiach – Rev. 19:7–8
Sons and Daughters of Elohim – Hosea 1:10
✧ Why It Matters:
What you call yourself shapes your walk. The wrong name can carry the weight of a curse (Isaiah 65:15), while the right one brings identity and blessing (Numbers 6:27). Yahushua’s followers are not called to be Christian by empire standards—we are called to be disciples by covenant.
✧ “Come Out of Her” Reflection:
Are you a Christian by culture—or a disciple by covenant?
