Framework of Messianic Studies

Some ground rules to establish a solid framework for study.

  • When studying in Lamed Messianic Studies, this framework should be referenced as an established groundwork governing studies.
  • If something is not quite like you remember it before, then some learning and growing has more than likely taken place here.
  • This actually has become a living document as things are discovered as unchanging truths.
    • These truths can be defined and nailed down by scripture or truly common understanding.
    • Truths (which are unchanging) are added to this list or help to define the list.

Concerning HaShem

  1. The L-RD our G-D is One G-D and there is no Other as was the teaching of Elohim to the Hebrews was that He was One G-D (Shema Prayer from Deut. 6:4)..
    • The world and man was created by one G-D (Gen. 3:22, Jam. 2:19)
    • The Trinity Doctrine is an attempt by man to explain HaShem (The Name) as described in Gen. 3:22, I Cor. 8:6, Gal. 3:20, and I Tim. 2:5.
    • HaShem is Yahwey Echad (Yah-Way E-hkad) as Elohim being all things Heavenly or Emanating out of the presence of G-D being G-D the Father (El); G-D the Salvation of Man as: G-D, it is He Who Saves (Yehoshuah); and G-D living in the Temple of Man as the Ruach HaKodesh (Spirit The Holy [Presence of G-D abiding] who brings to remembrance His Word onto the mind of the soul of man (John 14:16-18).
    • G-D as Echad, can convict the conscience of man bringing him to repentance to turn him back to G-D. This means he will then accept the Salvation of G-D who sacrificed Himself on the Earth as payment in the place of mankind. Having sanctified man, HaShem by presence can then abide in man as a reminder of Himself and His Way through man and his struggles to become more like G-D; which is the reason that Yeshuah had to go to the "Father" or Source before coming again as the Spirit of Separation. This had to be done because the man had to be cleansed and sanctified first as a temple of G-D before the habitation of the Spirit of G-D in man could take place - G-D cannot abide in the presence of sin (which is being separated from man).
  2. The L-RD [1] will not go against something He Himself has already established or promised, including His Laws.
  3. HaShem will never bless what He has cursed nor curse what He has blessed.
    • Yes, this also means pork - you may bless your food but G-D has not. But, this also means spiders, falcons, and centipedes. Remember that Law thing above and how the righteous do perform righteousness from the heart even though they are saved by grace? This probably means you are included, too.
  4. G-d [1] is a G-d of Truth and there is no falsehood in Him.
    • Whatever He speaks becomes Truth.
    • Everything around Truth will conform to Truth and Truth does not change.
    • Facts are relative to the circumstances and materials, but Truth is never conditional or relative.
