Follow along with us as we study the difficult topics of the bible to find the truth of Yehovah. As a follower of Christ, we are called to be students of the truth (2 Tim. 2:15). This podcast is meant to utilize the scriptures to correctly outline what the bible tells us is the truth and in the process, help to unlearn the bad tradition, theology, and error of popular modern theology that has been read into the bible. To be a Berean means to hold every idea, theology, and claim made by people who say they follow Yehovah against the truth of scripture, regardless of who or where the idea may have come from. Study with us as we seek truth objectively about who Yehovah is, what His son Jesus has done for us, and what we can do to live an effective and overcoming life until Jesus returns.

Yehovah shows us in His word that He will empower, direct, give insight, and give spiritual gifts through His Spirit that He provides to those that yield to Him. In this episode we take a look through both the old and new testament of the examples we see where Yehovah provides His spirit to someone obedient to His will in order to facilitate success. We take some time to compare the differences we see between the covenants, and what the evidence suggests in regards to the personhood of Yehovah and Yeshua in context of Yehovahs Spirit.
"And the Spirit of Yehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yehovah."
Isaiah 11:2

We see throughout the scriptures that Yehovah Himself will correspond with, empower, and change those who trust and follow Him through the presence of His Spirit. Many men in History have tried to turn Yehovah's presence into something more than it is and in doing so provide confusion for those who study the scriptures. In this episode we take a look at the evidence in scripture that Yehovah Himself will dwell with His people in the temple as part of the old covenant, and in our lives and hearts as the temples in the new covenant.
"And I will meet you there, and will speak with you, above the mercyseat, from between the two cherubs which are on the ark of testimony, all which I shall command you concerning the sons of Israel."
- Exodus 25:22

We see in scripture that Christ was in existence prior to His incarnation in Bethlehem and that He had conscious thoughts and actions before He came as a Man. This concept is discussed by the authors of the New Testament and we are able to find areas in the Old Testament that lend evidence to this theory. In this episode we discuss what it means for Christ to exist before His visit as the Son of Man and take some time to review some of the evidence seen in the Old Testament that can build the argument that Christ was doing work for Yehovah before His first visit to us as messiah for the lost.
"Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness."
Philippians 2:6-7

We see throughout the scriptures that Jesus is given a specific title by Yehovah, Begotten. Many English Bible translations today have replaced or removed this word for the sake of popular theology. The meaning of this word, as given to us by scripture, paints a picture of Yeshua as a Son of Yehovah who has a different origination than the rest of us who are considered to be Yehovahs children. In this episode we take a look at what this word means according to the bible and why its important to utilize the terms the bible has given us. Jesus Himself tells us where He came forth from and it will help us better understand what His relationship with the Father, Yehovah, really means for us and humanity.
"I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world. Again I leave the world and go to the Father. The disciples said to Him, Lo, now You speak plainly and speak no parable. Now we know that You know all things and do not need that anyone should ask You. By this we believe that You have come forth from God."
John 16:28-30

Scripture shows us that Yehovah has a unique position in relation to creation and that, as His family, we are allowed to take part in that exclusive role. The example we have been given is through the ministry of Jesus during His first visit, empowered by the Holy Spirit, Jesus performed Signs and Miracles and this is a signature that Jesus was from Yehovah and this is the pattern for the life of a New Testament believer. While not knowing the proper biblical definitions for terms like divine and deity won't exclude us from salvation, it will help us avoid the deception that is on the way following the anti-christ and false prophet. In this episode we discuss the characteristics of Yehovah and what makes Him supreme Deity of creation and how Yeshua takes part in that.
"For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and having been filled, you are in Him, who is the Head of all rule and authority,"
Colossians 2:9-10

In modern translations of scripture we see that the name of the Father, Yehovah, is often translated as just LORD. There is an important difference between the Fathers name and a title of Lord and in this episode we discuss how we know what the tetragrammaton is properly translated to and why the Almighty God of creation should be referred to by more than just a title when He has provided to us His name.
“I, Yes I, am Yehovah, and there is no savior but Me.”
Isaiah 43:11

The term God is used by many Christians as a personal identifier for the God of the bible. In doing this many Christians remain in confusion when trying to understand the role of Yehovah and His begotten son Jesus. In this episode we take some time to biblically define the term God to better understand how that title can apply to Yehovah as well as other figures we see in scripture.
"Hear, Israel: LORD YEHOVAH our God[Elohim], LORD YEHOVAH is one:"
Deuteronomy 6:4

When we approach scripture and utilize the entire witness to build our views and beliefs, we find that a different picture of many ideas than what is pushed in many congregations and assemblies. As a Berean, the task at hand is to "Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth". In order to accurately handle the word of truth we need to spend the time and effort it takes to build an understanding from the bible as the highest authority we have been given to understand what Yehovah has authored. When it comes to difficult topics like the characteristics of who Yehovah is, His relation to His son Yeshua, and His Presence He has sent to us through His spirit, many people in history have turned to their own understanding, the reasoning and logic of philosophy, or to men of education for a deeper understanding of Yehovah only to introduce confusion into the body of Christ and allow deception to take root.
In this episode we outline the objective for this second season and discuss some of the topics we will be working through in scripture. From proper definitions to examining false authorities that have brought in ideas that defy logic, reason, and break the laws of language as we know it in order to fit a paganized view of Yehovah into the scriptures. Follow along with us this season as we make the biblical case for what Yehovah has told us about Himself and how that can impact our personal relationship with Him today.
"Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist."
1 Corinthians 8:6

Jesus tells us in Luke 22 that His blood would sign and bring to us a new covenant. This covenant would be called the law of liberty by James, and the law of the spirit of life by Paul. With this new covenant we are promised something that could never have been given through the law of sin and death, eternal life and inheritance of the earth with Yeshua at His return. Many Christians today get confused about the requirements of new covenant believers when listening to people who still follow after the old covenant but try to add the new covenant benefits to their blindness. In this episode we discuss some of the different things the bible shows us about how eternal salvation, immortality, and the presence of Yehovah in our lives today are a result of a new covenant. When we look backwards to a lesser standard we run the risk of cutting ourselves off from Christ.
"And I testify again to every man being circumcised, that he is a debtor to do all the Law, you whoever are justified by Law, you were severed from Christ; you fell from grace."
Galatians 5:3-4
