El Elohe Yahshrael!

Luke 6:

46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”

James 1:
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

James 2:

14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 

17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[d]? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”[e] and he was called God’s friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.


Revelation 19:7-8 Let us rejoice and be glad
    and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
    and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean,
    was given her to wear.”

(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)



Righteousness within the context of the Scriptures of YHVH Almighty simply means being righteous. Righteous in the Scriptural context means being right or justified before YHVH Almighty. Being right or justified before YHVH Almighty simply means obedience to his Word.

Scripturally, faith is the believe the saints have in our Father in heaven, his Word and what he has stated concerning us.

Faith and righteousness are related. Have you considered palm fruit? Faith and righteousness are like palm fruit. Just liken faith to the palm fruit itself, the crushing of the fruit is work and the oil is righteousness

Righteous in Zoroastrian religion also means being right, justified.

Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”…“All these have I kept from my youth,” he said. On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.” But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy! Luke 18:18-22

Jesus made several mistakes here.

1. He cautioned him on calling him 'good'. He shouldn't have said this if he was good.

2. The statement "no one is good except God alone" makes Jesus not God.

3. Jesus prioritizes following the commandments!

4. Now how do Christians sell everything they have and follow Jesus?

5. Jesus forgot to tell the man that he is God that came from heaven and would later die. That if he doesn't believe in his death he's condemned no matter how much he followed the commandments!

Antichristian, if you want the responses to your questions, replace the name "Jesus" with the name "Yahushua". I will no longer tolerate such disrespect for the name of my Master and Saviour.

El Elohe Yahshrael!

1 John 2:28&29 And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.

1 John 3:1-10 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should he called children of YHVH! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of YHVH, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure. Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him there is on sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of YHVH appeared was to destroy the devil's work. No one who is born of YHVH will continue to sin, because YHVH'S seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of YHVH. This is how we know who the children of YHVH are and who the children of the devil are: anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of YHVH; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

Let us explain a little.

We have been cleansed/purified by the undefiled, uncontaminated blood of Yahushua the Messiah, our Master. His blood has cleansed us from all sins and has made us pure.

Now just as verse three says; the only way in which we can remain pure is by following the Father's commandments. We have been made pure, that part was done by our Master.

However, we have a part, too. And that part is following our Father's commandments in order to maintain our purity.

We have been made pure and if we obey the Father's commandments; we will remain pure. John 15:10 alludes to this.

John 15:10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.

Let us consider the integrity of a sterilized object below.

The only way that a sterilized object can be kept free from contamination is by keeping it in a sterile environment. The integrity/sterility of such object can no longer be guaranteed the moment it is removed from it's sterile environment, since it will then be exposed to contaminants.


From verse four: "anyone who sins breaks the law". We see that "sin is lawlessness".

Our Master has taken away our sin, our lawlessness and not the law as some people believe.

In him is no sin. In him there is no lawlessness.

He is the law---the embodiment of the law. No one who lives in him continues to be lawless.

No one who continues to be lawless has either seen him or known him.

So, we, the saints, must not allow anyone lead us astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous(verse seven).

It's the Ten Commandments that teach us what is right or wrong. Without them; it would be impossible to know the difference between right or wrong.

Verse eight shows us that the devil is the lawless one. In fact, he has been lawless from the beginning. It, therefore, means that everyone who is lawless is of the devil. The devil's desire is to make us lawless---that's his work. Look at the world around you and see the wickedness---the lawlessness.

Our Master has destroyed the devil's work - our lawlessness - that we may worship the Father in truth and in spirit. So, we have been born of the Father through our Master, Yahushua the Messiah. Therefore, we cannot continue to be lawless because our Master is in us (verse nine and 1 Peter 1:23) and will help us to follow his footsteps and obey the Father's commandments. He will keep us from sinning---from being lawless.

Has obedience to YHVH's Ten Commandments not kept you from being lawless? Anyone who disagrees should prove me wrong.

So, when we say that the Messiah Yahushua keeps us from being lawless; we are actually saying that the Ten Commandments of YHVH Almighty keep us from being lawless. Again, anyone who disagrees with this assertion should scripturally prove the it.

Let us look at verse seven again:
"He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous" Yahushua the Messiah is righteous...infact he is Righteousness - the embodiment of righteousness. Now, anyone who obey Yahushua the Messiah is righteous. But, Yahushua the Messiah is the Word of the Father --- the embodiment of his Ten Commandments. It implies, therefore, that anyone who believes in and obeys Yahushua the Messiah, the Ten Commandments of YHVH Almighty, does what is right, and is by that very fact, righteous.

We believe in YHVH Almighty and in his Word, his Son, his Salvation. We believe that we have been saved by YHVH's Salvation. All these constitute our faith. How do we exercise this faith? By doing the will of our Father --- obeying his Word. This is work. What is our gain? Righteousness is our gain, the fruit or result, if you prefer. This is only possible because the law of YHVH Almighty is righteous. Anyone obeys his law is credited this righteousness.

How else can we say we have been saved by YHVH's Salvation when we don't even obey YHVH's Salvation? This is faith without work. Which is a dead faith. Any faith without work is dead. Anyone who claims to be a servant of Yahushua the Messiah but does not obey him, is simply delusional.

So, that's why we, the saints, must teach our children the Ten Commandments with utmost seriousness. We, the saints, must continue to talk about these great Commandments of our Father, YHVH of Hosts, until we, as well as our young ones, comprehend or grasp their importance and till they become part of us. That's the only way we will be differentiated from the children of the devil. There's no other way.

Anyone who doesn't see the Ten Commandments of YHVH Almighty as his Salvation is simply delusional. Whoever that has been told that YHVH's Salvation is not his Ten Commandments or is different from his Ten Commandments has been simply deluded.

YHVH's Salvation...Yahushua the Messiah.

Yahushua the Messiah --- the embodiment of the Ten Commandments of YHVH Almighty.

Father help your saints.
