The Biggest Lie About Christianity Exposed
The biggest lie about Christianity is that following it is the same as following God—YHWH, the God of the Bible. Many of us have grown up believing that going to church and being under a pastor constitutes what the Scriptures teach. But when you read the Bible in context, you realize Christianity deviates from what Yeshua taught. Christianity and the way of YHWH are not the same. The way of YHWH is what Yeshua preached.
Following the way of YHWH means following YHWH Elohim. When we compare Christianity to the Scriptures, glaring differences emerge. In my book, The Scattered Israelites, I dive deep into this. Today, let's examine key contrasts.
The Law: Essential to YHWH's Way
The biggest difference? Christians and Gentiles believe they don't have to keep the law. If you study Scripture, this is insane. Many genuine believers, even those with the Holy Spirit, are taught that ceremonial laws are done away with—only moral laws remain. What is 'ceremonial law'? The temple? It doesn't exist because we Israelites aren't in our land yet. Many wait for Jews to build the Third Temple—they won't, because Jews are not Israelites. YHWH won't let Gentiles build His temple.
The law is part of the way of YHWH, which Yeshua taught. Salvation is of the Judeans (Yehudim or Ioudaioi—not 'Jews,' a word not in the Bible). The law reflects YHWH's moral character and righteous walk.
We get saved by faith: born in sin (Psalm 51:5), we place faith in Yeshua's death, burial, and resurrection, confess sins, and repent. But what is sin? The law defines it. John writes: "Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness, because sin is lawlessness" (1 John 3:4, ESV). In Greek, anomia = a (negative) + nomos (law) = lawlessness.
Teaching you can follow Yeshua without the law contradicts Scripture. Yeshua redeems us from lawlessness: "[Yeshua Messiah], who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness, and to purify for Himself a people... zealous for good works" (Titus 2:13-14).
Matthew 7:21-23 – Rejected for Lawlessness
Yeshua warns: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name...?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness!'" (Matthew 7:21-23, ESV).
These are believers—church folk calling Him 'Lord, Lord!' He rejects them not for unbelief (demons believe and tremble, James 2:19), but for lawlessness. You keep the whole law by the Holy Spirit's power; grace covers what you don't know.
None of the law is done away with—not Sabbath, clean eating (Isaiah 66), temple, or sacrifices. Ezekiel 40 shows future sacrifices in the temple to Yeshua.
Christianity's Origin: Israelites' Rejection
Pastors teach against YHWH's law, twisting Scriptures. Why not believe what it says and seek the Holy Spirit?
Christianity deviates because Israelites rejected Yeshua: "He came to His own, and His own received Him not" (John 1:11). Salvation went to Gentiles (ethnos = nations; in context, Europeans). Paul, apostle to Gentiles, went to Europe (Romans 11).
Romans 11:11: "Through their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous." Paul affirms: "I myself am an Israelite" (Romans 11:1). God has a remnant; we Scattered Israelites were sent to Africa and worldwide for sins.
The way of YHWH ≠ Christianity. Return to Scripture—keep the law, follow Yeshua.
