Dear Sid Roth



I became a Christian in 1972 and then in 1993 I learned that the Torah was for all believers. It was then that I began to keep the feast days and the Saturday Sabbath, and I stopped eating pork and the bad seafood.



Then I met someone who gave me different look at Yahoshua, which caused me to that part of my life on the shelf. Then I read your book. After reading your book, I came away with a new look at Yahoshua HaMoshiach.



During my time of a different look at Yahoshua, I closely examined Judaism and I did not like what I saw. I saw the hypocrisy of Judaism with the Talmud. At the same time I saw the hypocrisy of Christianity, with the mixing of pagan religions with the worship of YHWH.



You probably have noticed that I use Yahoshua instead of Jesus or Yeshua. I feel that Yahoshua is a more accurate translation of His name. If you need a more anglicized translation, you could use Joshua. Here is a look at the hypocrisy that I was talking about. Look at the Septuagint for the Greek spelling of Joshua; now look at the Greek spelling of Jesus. They are the exact same. So, why not use the same word in both spaces. It would help us to see the Joshua is a type of the Messiah, both Joshua the aide of Moses and the high priest Joshua. Yahoshua could mean Yah is our salvation or it could mean Yah save me. Any way you look at it, YHWH’s name is in the name, whereas Jesus and Yeshua are void of the creator’s name.



I also do not use the word god either for the same reason. God is also the name of another deity, the deity of fortune, whatever fortune is (money or luck). Just look at the pronunciation code for “Gad”. It is not gad, but it is gawd, which is similar to the pronunciation code of god, which makes them the same, because when you translate names into other languages, you transliterate them.



Can you see what the enemy has done? He has gotten us to forget and minimize the Creator’s name, which is another way of taking His name in vain. He has made his name vain.



I finally realized that most Christians worship the man Jesus, instead of worshipping the Creator. That is why they still celebrate Christmas, allegedly Yahoshua’s birth. Yahoshua was not born in December. He was born during the feast of Succoth. Birth is an action reserved just for creation, in this case man. The Creator cannot be born and does not need to be born. That is why it is not sanctioned by the Torah, but Succoth is.



Next Easter, which is celebrating Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection, but really Easter, which takes it name from Ishtar or Ashtoreth, which are pagan religions is really the celebration of a pagan religion. Death, burying and resurrection are also reserved for only the creation, in this case man. The Creator cannot die, has no need to be buried and be resurrected. That is why Easter is not sanctioned by the Torah, but Passover is.

Finally Sabbath, which I just realized has been altered, because it has been forgotten by Judah Lamentation 2:6. It was forgotten when the Jewish people accepted the new Monday through Sunday Calendar, because before than the Israelites used the moon to decide their days, weeks and months. The moon runs on a seven day cycle.



I would like to know, if you and the rest of these authors in your book still keep Torah and not the worlds teaching, or have they adopted Christmas, Easter and Sunday Sabbath.



Sincerely,



Mark Archer
