We believe the name of the Almighty is Yahuah, and His Son’s name is Yahushua (Jesus)
Most Bibles show THE LORD as the name of the Almighty or has it written as JEHOVAH in some KJV verses. Jesus is a transliteration of Yahushua, meaning “Yahuah saves.”

We believe Yahushua was born of Mary by Yahuah’s Spirit, and Mary was with child before anyone had sex with her.
Yahushua’s birth was a miracle by Yahuah’s Spirit in Mary, who had not had sex before His birth, showing He came from Yahuah alone to fulfill prophecies.
Matthew 1:18-20 (KJV): “Now the birth of Yahushua Messiah was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost… Behold, the angel of YHWH appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.”
Luke 1:34-35 (KJV): “Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee.”
We believe Yahushua is the only visible image of Yahuah.
Colossians 1:15: “Who is the image of the invisible God.”
John 14:9: “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”
John 1:14: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”
1 Timothy 3:16: “God was manifest in the flesh.”
We believe the idea of a trinity is a false teaching based on misinterpreted verses.
The teaching of three persons in one God goes against the Bible’s clear words that Yahuah is one, without any others equal to Him, and came from later human ideas, not Scripture.
Deuteronomy 6:4: “Hear, O Israel: YHWH our God is one YHWH.”
Isaiah 44:6: “Thus saith YHWH the King of Israel, and his redeemer YHWH of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.”
We believe Yahushua died and rose again after three days.
Yahushua’s death on the cross and rising from the dead after three days and nights fulfilled promises and defeated death, giving life to those who believe.
Matthew 12:40: “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
1 Corinthians 15:3-4: “Messiah died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
Matthew 28:5-6: “The angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Yahushua, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen.”
We believe today’s Hebrew language is not pure, and Yahuah will give a pure language.
The Hebrew used today has been changed by time and human mistakes, but Yahuah promises to bring back a pure language so all can call on His name.
Zephaniah 3:9: “For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of YHWH, to serve him with one consent.”
We believe all Scripture, including the Gospels, are true historical records.
The Bible is Yahuah’s true word, written by those who saw and knew the events, giving us trustworthy history and teachings.
2 Timothy 3:16: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
Luke 1:1-4: “Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us… That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.”
John 21:24: “This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.”
We believe the Apostles’ letters, including Paul’s, are Yahuah’s Word and must be followed unless an Apostle says otherwise in the text.
These writings are given by Yahuah’s Spirit, treated as Scripture, and guide our lives unless an Apostle clearly states an exception.
2 Peter 3:15-16: “Even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you… As also in all his epistles… Which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures.”
2 Timothy 3:16: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God.”
We believe the KJV has mistakes but shows how words were translated using Strong’s Concordance; other versions have mistakes too but don’t show their work clearly, and any error must be proven with evidence.
No Bible translation is perfect, but the KJV lets us check original Hebrew and Greek words with tools like Strong’s Concodenance. No one can dismiss Bible verses as translation errors without demonstrating the errors with evidence.
We believe the 66 books of the Bible are enough for salvation and knowing Yahuah’s will.
These books give all we need to find salvation and understand Yahuah’s guidance completely.
Deuteronomy 29:29: “The secret things belong unto YHWH our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever.”
We believe other books related to Scripture exist but not all are from Yahuah’s Spirit; however, they can give history or context.
The 66 books are Yahuah’s Word, but other writings mentioned in Scripture can help us understand history, though they are not all His inspired words.
Jude 1:14-15: “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied.”
2 Timothy 3:16: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God.”
Joshua 10:13: “Is not this written in the book of Jasher?”
We believe salvation requires obedience to the Messiah from the heart, being baptized, turning away from sins the Messiah calls wrong, and staying faithful until the end.
To be saved, a person must love Yahushua, be baptized in water, stop doing sins He taught against, and keep obeying until their last breath.
Matthew 24:13: “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”
Acts 2:38: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahushua Messiah for the remission of sins.”
John 14:15: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
Mark 7:20-23: “That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.”
We believe sin is breaking the Law of Moses.
Sin is when someone disobeys the commandments Yahuah gave through Moses, as the Bible clearly says.
1 John 3:4: “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.”
Romans 3:20: “By the law is the knowledge of sin.”
We believe the Law of Moses says everyone must follow Yahushua’s teachings.
Yahushua taught that His instructions build on and fulfill the Law of Moses, and everyone must obey them.
Deuteronomy 18:15-19: “Whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him”
We believe certain sins, if not turned from, lead to everlasting punishment.
The Bible lists spiritual sins like worshipping idols, murder, or immorality that bring eternal fire if not repented of. See the Sins that Will not Enter into the Kingdom page for additional details.
Revelation 21:8: “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-10: “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers…”
We believe everlasting life comes through Yahushua’s sacrifice.
Those who trust in Yahushua’s sacrifice for their sins receive the gift of life forever with Yahuah.
John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Yahushua Messiah our Lord.”
We believe those who don’t turn from sin face everlasting fire, called the second death.
Sinners who don’t repent will face eternal destruction in fire, known as the second death, after judgment.
Revelation 20:14-15: “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Matthew 25:46: “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”
We believe those who obey Yahushua’s commandments are Disciples of the Messiah; we are not Christians, Hebrew Israelites or any other label.
True disciples follow Yahushua’s teachings and are known by their obedience, not by names or groups like Hebrew Israelites.
John 8:31: “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.”
We believe no one fully keeps Moses’ Law today without the land of Israel, a temple, or Aaron’s sons.
Some of Moses’ laws, like offerings, need the land, temple, or priests, which we don’t have now, so full obedience isn’t possible.
Leviticus 17:1-9 (on sacrifices at the tabernacle).
Deuteronomy 12:5-6: “But unto the place which YHWH your God shall choose… thither thou shalt come: And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings.”
We believe those who follow Moses’ Law as best they can will be great in the Kingdom.
Keeping the commandments as much as possible brings high honor in Yahuah’s Kingdom.
Matthew 5:19: “Whosoever therefore shall do and teach them [the commandments], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
We believe those who obey Yahushua’s teachings but not all of Moses’ Law will enter the Kingdom but be least there.
Following Yahushua’s words allows entry to the Kingdom, but not keeping all of Moses’ laws means a lower placement.
Matthew 5:19: “Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great.”
Matthew 11:11: “Notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than [John the Baptist].”
We believe Gentiles enter the Kingdom by obeying Yahushua’s teachings, just like Israelites.
Everyone, whether Israelite or Gentile, enters the Kingdom by following Yahushua’s same instructions, with no difference.
Ephesians 2:11-13: “Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles… But now in Yahushua Messiah ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Messiah.”
Acts 15:7-9: “God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe… And put no difference between us and them.”
Romans 10:12: “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek.”
We believe Satan works in service to Yahuah and is not Yahuah’s enemy; his name was never Lucifer, and he tempts people without going against Yahuah.
Satan serves Yahuah by testing people, as shown in Scripture, and “Lucifer” is a name wrongly attributed to Satan through Christian tradition. Satan is an enemy to man but is not an enemy to God.
2 Chronicles 18:18-22 (showing a lying spirit acting under Yahuah’s command).
Job 1:6-12: “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before YHWH, and Satan came also among them… And YHWH said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand.”
Isaiah 14:12: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning” (context: about the king of Babylon).
We believe only Yahuah has power over Satan, and people should not try to rebuke him unless Yahuah allows it.
Even angels leave Satan to Yahuah’s judgment, showing we should not speak against him without Yahuah’s clear permission.
Jude 1:9: “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, YHWH rebuke thee.”
Zechariah 3:2: “And YHWH said unto Satan, YHWH rebuke thee, O Satan.”
We believe women should not lead or teach in congregations with men.
The Bible sets a pattern where men lead in mixed gatherings to follow Yahuah’s order.
1 Timothy 2:11-12: “Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”
1 Corinthians 14:34-35: “Let your women keep silence in the congregations: for it is not permitted unto them to speak.”
We believe Eve is the mother of all people, and no one made in Yahuah’s image comes from anyone but Adam and Eve.
All people come from Adam and Eve, created in Yahuah’s image, with no others made outside their family.
Genesis 3:20: “And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.”
Genesis 1:26-27: “And God said, Let us make man in our image… So God created man in his own image.”
Acts 17:26: “And hath made of one blood all nations of men.”
We believe creation happened in seven actual days.
The Bible says Yahuah made everything in six real days and rested on the seventh, as shown in His commandments.
Genesis 1:1-31: “And the evening and the morning were the first day” (repeated for each day).
Exodus 20:11: “For in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day.”
We believe descendants of ancient Israelites were targeted and enslaved in the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
Bible promises about Israel’s scattering and punishment match the history of their descendants being taken as slaves across the sea.

Deuteronomy 28:68: “And YHWH shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen.”
Deuteronomy 28:15-68 (listing punishments for disobedience, including being scattered and enslaved).
Joel 3:3-6: “And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine… The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians.”
