- My book
& website "HomeWorship 101™"
- is your Bible boot-camp!
"101" means just the -
ancient - basics. Take the Bible and strip away all the man invented
religious mishegoss (craziness or darkness), peel away all the prejudice, the
hatred, the politics, all the egos and jealousy, all the man-designed
creeds and rituals, the information in this book & website is what you have left. Bible
boot-camp means getting back to the basics, peel away the
layers of mans traditions to find the ancient light of YHWH/GOD's pure core
truths. Think of it as an incredible journey of ancient discovery,
and that discovery begins with our CREATOR / YHWH. YHWH's name (generally
pronounced YAHWEH), means everlasting, eternal, HE never changes (Isa.46:9-10), what was HIS truths since the beginning
of our world are still spiritual truths today.
Enjoy the journey of learning!

I call my book and website a “non-religious”
Bible teaching, and it seems I’m the lone fish swimming against the
current. My focus is for
those seeking spiritual self-help and personal growth. I teach at the grass roots
level, using simple language, with a no-BS ethic of an engineer, more concerned
with education rather than indoctrination. I present YHWH/GOD's simple
core truths boot-camp style, giving the simple truths and showing you how to apply
them. (Technically
speaking, it could be called basic universal human spiritual rights as
expressed in YHWH’s Covenants beginning with Noah.)
My friends call me "chronicler
extraordinaire" because I unravel the ancient spiritual mysteries and rearrange
them in time-order for easier understanding. I am extra-ordinary because I
also chronicle the future, and I have an extraordinary point of view - I hope
you will find it thoughtfully
provocative.
Technically
speaking, putting money in a plate and then waiting for the priests blessing to
make it through another week, is simple paganism. We are directly Blessed
through the Sacred Covenants, and we are to spread these Blessings through our
daily lives.
- "Let them first
learn--to show piety at home."
- - 1 Timothy 5:4
The Bible tells us that public worship is futile without inward heartfelt
worship. It means you have to live your faith, not just practice it for
one or two hours a week. YHWH's Prophet Micah, expresses the principle:
- "With what shall I come to
the LORD
- and bow myself before the God on high?
- Shall I come to Him with burnt
offerings, with yearling calves?
- Does the LORD take delight in
thousands of rams,
- in ten thousand rivers of oil?
- Shall I present my firstborn for
my rebellious acts,
- the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
- He
has told you, O man, what is good;
- and what does the LORD require of
you,
- but to do justice, to love kindness (mercy),
- and to walk humbly with
your God?"
- Micah 6:5-8
Your
faith cannot be proved by creeds or ritual purity, it is a moral code that is
always with you. Revelation 3:20 quotes
the Messiah, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears
My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and ‘dine’ with
him, and he with Me.” It's curious
that He did not say He would come in to discuss doctrine.
Your manners, your personal habits, and your Sacred
Meal will do all the
theological talk for you.
"To
sacrifice 'home worship' to 'public worship'
is a most evil
course of action..."
- C. H. Spurgeon
Sometimes people look at me a little confused and say they never
heard of home
worship? I would say, "The Bible tells us we should learn it
first (1Tim.5:40). I wonder why every church doesn't have a home worship
department? Some Christian orthodox and most of the Jews teach how
to worship at home." Confucius said,
“To lead an untrained people to war is
to throw them away.” Priests
should be spiritual coaches, teaching their laity - spiritual soldiers -
how to invoke the spiritual powers-tools, so that they can better defend
themselves, and their loved ones, against the darkness. You can be
sure the pagan priests are teaching their followers how to invoke their
demons, to cast spells and curses used to cause disorder. The righteous
spiritual soldiers need to know how to the counter the evil threats.
Knowledge is power,
and Divine knowledge is the most powerful!
Sharing it is
empowerment!
Home Worship empowers the believer
and gives him or her a
place in YHWH's Spiritual Universe. Home Worship also means showing Divine respect to our CREATOR, by
how we live our lives, and using HIS Spiritual Power-Tools to strengthen
our lives. The lessons or ethnic methods may vary, but respect is what we owe for
the Blessings we receive. Love is what we give as we spiritually mature.
This can be accomplished at home - either individually, with family, or close friends
- by anyone, anywhere on Earth. These are individual spiritual rites
from our CREATOR to HIS people. The Bible has many examples of
private family worship: Adam & Eve, Noah, The Patriarchs:
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the New Testament examples of Yahshua/Jesus
& His Disciples.
Home Worship is home improvement for the
soul and spirit! The spiritual power-tools
needed for home improvement have been considered by the gatekeepers of
orthodoxy as "classified" and on a need-to-know basis.
They are ancient Rites and are "personal" spiritual power-tools
available to the Believers directly from GOD, and are e-v-e-r-lasting.
GOD is not just for priests!
The heads of the
house are the providers, teachers, and priests, of the household. Faith begins
at home, and the family is the keystone of the faith.

We are all as different as snowflakes, and
I am not a doctrinal dictator - I don't have that much energy. I
specialize in providing non-religious
Bible teaching. Remember, these are not Jewish rites or Jewish holidays,
these are YHWH's Covenant Rites
and YHWH's Holy Days. There are
many Biblical examples of worshiping at home, and by using their example you can adapt
them to your own lifestyle and ethnic
tradition. The purpose
of this Biblically based study, is to address, and make use of, the Heavenly advantages
available through your personal relationship with the higher spiritual order,
governed by our CREATOR.

The above quote could be the theme of my book and website.
A thinking person has to
ponder for a moment, what was the Prophet Jeremiah referring to?
What ancient paths? The time of Jeremiah's teachings was about
627-580 BCE. The modern Jewish religion of the day the newly
organized Babylonian Talmudic Judaism, with it's rabbinical
order. To me, it seems as if the Prophet was saying the new system
is corrupt and the people should look to the original, ancient ways for their
spiritual wisdom. About 600 years later, Yahshua/Jesus also criticized the
Judaism of His day, and pointed to another spiritual path. Knowing
that our CREATOR, YHWH, does not change (Isa.46:9-10),
one still can't help but wonder, what ancient path?
- "Show
me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths.
- Lead
me in Your truth and teach me,
- for
You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day."
- -
Psalm
25:4-5
In the News: Many Christians
are
part of a fast
growing global movement who say it is the ancient
ways, the historic, and the Biblical ways that matter
most (Jer.6:16).

- The Ancient Path of YHWH
Truth is stranger then fiction. We are
going to examine the greatest science fact or fiction story ever told - it is
for you to decide. The hope is that you will feel energized by the
illumination of some spiritual Biblical truths that are rarely taught.
- "The
greatest homage we can pay to truth is to use it."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Enjoy the mystery. The color of one's skin,
or the ethnic nationality one is born into is something we all have to live with
- it cannot be changed. I am not here to step on anyone's formal
traditions, but that mysterious tie to our CREATOR is something we are all born
with and learning about it should be a rewarding experience.
As we enter this new millennium, all humanity
should acknowledge one clear lesson from history: When discussing or debating
the higher spiritual world of our CREATOR, if one, or several, are driven to
violence to make their point, then they have already lost the argument.
And that should go for governments too!
.
GROUND
RULES
FIRST: You must believe that you are a created
being, then you must believe in our CREATOR...
That belief comes from studying eyewitness
accounts and is confirmed in your secret place, your heart and your conscience -
no one can decree you a Believer!
SECOND: Learn of our CREATOR'S Covenants, and
then have faith in HIS plan...
The Bible actually describes a form of government
- not a religion. And through a covenant relationship (two parties enter into a
contract) is how our CREATOR interacts with humanity.
THIRD: Have faith in the #1 promise of our
CREATOR, that he will send a Messiah...
- Today some say, "The messiah never came, but
will someday appear!"
- Some others say, "The Messiah came, and
will come again!"
- .
- It seems the one thing that all Believers in our
CREATOR can agree on is:
- THAT THE MESSIAH IS COMING!!!

My book is a provocative chronicle of the
greatest story ever told. One cannot attend some institute to discover all
the ancient mysteries presented here. I am not affiliated with any
religious or educational organization. I am but a humble seeker and a
quick study. This information has been gathered, without prejudice, from a
wide variety of sources, handed down through the generations of time. Too
numerous to mention, the silent heroes of this story are the archaeologists,
scholars, historians, journalists, and Believers, who through the centuries have
dedicated their life's work to fighting the good fight.
Clarification of
Terms
for this Study
For our study the Bible is seen as teaching a moral
philosophy or ethic. Developing a code of personal honor is at the heart
of most major religions. The Bible actually describes a form of government - not a religion.
A religion is how a group of people see GOD at a certain point in history. (The Book of Leviticus describes a
priesthood unique only to the Jerusalem Temple worship system.)
Protestantism,
by itself, is a moral philosophy. For
example, Lutheranism is a Christian religion based on how a group of people see
GOD guided by the Martin Luther's Protestant philosophy. As
opposed to Roman Catholicism or Greek Orthodox, which are Christian religions,
but without the Protestant philosophy. They are based on the doctrine of
Nicolaitanism, where a king,
pope or priest is between GOD and the people, Rev.2:15.
The term Protestant Christian means, protesting
Christians. They protest against the dictatorial rule of a centralized
religious authority. They protest against any human being placed between them
and God. And they stand for the right of anyone to have a copy of the Holy
Scriptures in their native language for personal study. In that respect,
you could almost call the very first Christians, Protestant Jews!
The term Jerusalem Church is meant on a spiritual
level as the worldwide Believers in our CREATOR. It is not affiliated
with, or means any association with, or any endorsement of, any physical,
corporate religious organization using the same name. My work is about the
home, I do not endorse any religion and it doesn't matter to me what religion
someone holds to. In my humble opinion, one must
understand that the worldwide body of Believers are at different levels of
YHWH's Spiritual and Biblical understanding.
The Sacred names:
Today's Christianity
is a mere shadow of what you read in the New Testament. I endeavor to be
accurate to the time period. In that time GOD the FATHER was called YHWH /
YAHWEH, HIS Son Jesus Christ was actually called Yahshua the Messiah. (In the
Bible names have meaning. YHWH / YAHWEH means eternal, endless, everlasting.
And the Christ/Messiah comes as salvation in His FATHER'S Name. Shua means
salvation, and YAH is the FATHER'S Name. The Messiah's original name is
YAH-shua - now that's a name, loaded with meaning!)
