Full Definition of BELIEVE

intransitive verb

An intransitive verb is not used with a direct object.

If something comes after an intransitive verb, that is, in the position usually inhabited by the direct object, it doesn't answer what? Or whom?

Instead it answers a question like where?, when?, how?, or how long?.

1 ​​ a : to have a firm religious faith

So, where do we have a firm religious faith?

In our minds and our hearts, and wherever we are or go.

Deuteronomy 11:18 ​​ Therefore shall you lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets (fixed) between your eyes.

His words (laws) should be in our intellect, our inner being-emotional center, a perpetual remembrance.

When do we have a firm religious faith?

Deuteronomy 5:29 ​​ O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear Me, and keep all My commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

How do we have a firm religious faith?

Proverbs 2:3 ​​ Yea, if you criest after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding;

2:4 ​​ If you seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

2:5 ​​ Then shall you understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of Elohiym.

John 14:15 ​​ If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

How long do we have a firm religious faith?

Deuteronomy 6:2 ​​ That you mightest fear Yahweh your Elohiym, to keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

Believe

 ​​ ​​ ​​​​ b : to accept something as true, genuine, or real <ideals we believe in>

What if what you've accepted up to now was not genuine? The doctrine you grew up in?

We don't always have or believe the truth, even though it seems that what we believe is the truth. The 'churches' accept Judeo-Christianity as truth, which it is not.

Believe

2: to have a firm conviction as to the goodness, efficacy, or ability of something <believe in exercise>

The denominational 'churches' believe their doctrines with conviction, even though they are supporting the anti-christ Jews and a counterfeit religion.

Believe

3: to hold an opinion : think <I believe so>

You believe all you have to do is “just believe”. But there is much more to it than that.

The truth is the truth whether you believe it or not.

Transitive verb

A transitive verb is a verb that requires a direct object, which is a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase that follows the verb and completes the sentence's meaning by indicating the person or thing that receives the action of the verb.

The direct object typically answers the question what? Or whom?.

1 ​​ a : to consider to be true or honest <believe the reports> <you wouldn't believe how long it took>

Are you just lazily believing the report, method, doctrine or tradition of your “faith” (church)?

Do you ever really read the scriptures? Because even though it says to believe in Christ, it also says to follow His example and commandments, and what happens if you do and if you don't.

 ​​ ​​ ​​​​ b : to accept the word or evidence of <I believe you> <couldn't believe my ears>

If the Word, or the evidence of the Word represents Christ's example you should accept it.

And if you believe in the Word, Christ's example, wouldn't you think you need to perform the acts which represent that example?

2: to hold as an opinion : suppose <I believe it will rain soon>

WOW! A belief is an opinion.

People who “believe they are saved” are believing their own opinion has the power to do this.

Since believing is a verb, they believe they are “saved” by their own declaration. They choose to be “saved”. That's like choosing to win the lottery.

And then they say that Christ saves them, but because they say so.

So in the parable of the foolish virgins, did the 5 foolish ones who did not follow instructions get to be saved? No, they were left out.

Say you were a prince, and 3 men were available for hire to help build your kingdom.

The job was to do the duties of building the kingdom.

Two of the men “believed” that the prince was a good ruler and the kingdom was their future home and couldn't wait to move in. But expecting the keys to their new home, they came without their tool belts and tools.

The other man believed the same thing. But he was also prepared to take on any task for he was wearing a tool belt and had tools in hand, and the know how.

Who would you hire and let in?

Heaven is not a welfare state. No free handouts, other than Salvation. But that is only eligible by following the Law.

Faith (or belief) and works.

Let's look at a few verses your preacher probably didn't bring up, because he was too busy fooling you that all you have to do is just ​​ 'Believe in Jesus'.

Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil (punishment), that He had said that He would do unto them; and He did it not.

Galatians 2:16 ​​ Knowing that a man is not justified (made righteous) by the works of the law (blood rituals), but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified (made righteous) by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law (blood rituals): for by the works of the law (blood rituals) shall no flesh be justified.

Just by works alone you cannot be made righteous. Following the law without sincerity is possible, but gets you nothing. The blood rituals is what is being discussed here, sacrificing animals to atone for our sins. This was done away with when Christ died. Besides, the sacrificial atonement was only for that year. It was only a temporary band-aid for sins.

Titus 3:8 ​​ This is a trustworthy saying, and these things I will that you affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

The profit of following His laws make you eligible for reward. Like storing up treasure in heaven.

Matthew 5:16 ​​ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Performing the acts of loyalty and allegiance, knowledge and understanding, obedience and love for Yahweh's Ways.

Matthew 7:21 ​​ Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of My Father which is in heaven.

7:24 ​​ Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: ​​ (An everlasting foundation)

Matthew 16:27 ​​ For the Son of Adam shall come in the glory of His Father with His mesengers; and then He shall reward every man according to his works. ​​ (What about a reward for just believing?)

Luke 12:43 ​​ Blessed is that servant, whom his master when he comes shall find so doing.

Doing what, hanging around believing?

Luke 12:47 ​​ And that servant, which knew his master's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to His will, shall be beaten with many stripes. ​​ 

Yikes, there's punishment?

James 2:14 ​​ What does it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

James 2:18 ​​ Yea, a man may say, You have faith, and I have works: show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

James 2:22 ​​ Do you see how faith wrought (comes to be) with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

James 2:24 ​​ Ye see then how that by works a man is justified (made righteous) , and not by faith only.

Revelation 2:19 ​​ I know your works, and charity, and service, and faith, and your patience, and your works; and the last to be more than the first.

WOW, He said works twice. And your last deed is more important than the first.

Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell (the grave) delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

In the Old Testament, I find that there are only 2 words used for BELIEVE.

H539 aman (aw-man), a verb which means: to believe, be assured, be sure, confirmed, established, steadfast, to be confident, to uphold. It's used 108x.

H540 aman (a-man), also a verb which means: trusted, steadfast, sure. It's used only 3 times and is in Aramaic instead of Hebrew used only in Daniel.

So there is really one meaning of Believe in the OT. It is a personal choice of either believing Yahweh and His messengers, or not.

Now let's examine all the verses.

Genesis 15:4 ​​ And, behold, the word of Yahweh came unto him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come forth out of your own bowels (loins) shall be your heir.

​​ 15:5 ​​ And He brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven (sky), and tell the stars, if you be able to number them: and He said unto him, So shall your seed be.

Romans 4:18 ​​ Who against hope (expectation) believed in hope (expectation), that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken (declared), So shall your seed (offspring) be.

Hebrews 11:12 ​​ Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead (old age), so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

​​ 15:6 ​​ And he believed (H539) in Yahweh; and He counted it to him for righteousness.

1Maccabees 2:52 ​​ Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness?

James 2:23 ​​ And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

Genesis 45:25 ​​ And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,

​​ 45:26 ​​ And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed (H539) them not.

Belief can also be a personal choice of doubt.

Moses returns to Egypt

Exodus 4:1 ​​ And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe (H539- be assured by) me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, Yahweh hath not appeared unto you.

​​ 4:2 ​​ And Yahweh said unto him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.

​​ 4:3 ​​ And He said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

​​ 4:4 ​​ And Yahweh said unto Moses, Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

​​ 4:5 ​​ That they may believe (H539- be sure) that Yahweh God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto you.

​​ 4:6 ​​ And Yahweh said furthermore unto him, Put now your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.

​​ 4:7 ​​ And He said, Put your hand into your bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.

​​ 4:8 ​​ And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe (H539- be sure) you, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe (H539- be sure) the voice of the latter sign.

​​ 4:9 ​​ And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe (H539- be sure) also these two signs, neither hearken unto your voice, that you shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which you takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land. ​​ 

It took showing the signs of the rod and the hand from verses 3-9 for them to believe.

​​ 4:31 ​​ And the people believed (H539- were assured): and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel, and that He had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

Exodus 14:30 ​​ Thus Yahweh saved (preserved) Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.

​​ 14:31 ​​ And Israel saw that great work which Yahweh did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared Yahweh, and believed (H539- confirmed, were sure of) Yahweh, and His servant Moses.

Numbers 20:12 ​​ And Yahweh spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because you believed (H539- confirmed, established) Me not, to sanctify Me (set Me apart) in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

Moses and Aaron disobeyed at the rock. Clear instructions to SPEAK to the rock, in the name of Yahweh, thereby giving Him the glory for the water.

1Kings 10:7 ​​ Howbeit I believed not (H539- confirmed not, was not sure of) the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: your wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

1Kings 11:38 ​​ And it shall be, if you wilt hearken unto all that I command you, and wilt walk in My ways, and do that is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as David My servant did; that I will be with you, and build you a sure (H539- established) house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto you. ​​ 

More than “just believing” here. Looks like works are required too. ​​ 

2Chronicles 9:5 ​​ And she (The queen of Sheba) said to the king (Solomon), It was a true report which I heard in mine own land of your acts, and of your wisdom:

​​ 9:6 ​​ Howbeit I believed not (H539- was not sure of) their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me: for you exceedest the fame that I heard.

​​ 

2Chronicles 32:14 ​​ (The servents of Sennacherib king of Assyria speaking for Sennacherib) Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?

​​ 32:15 ​​ Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe (H539- be assured in, be confident in) him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand? ​​ ​​ 

Well, because of Hezekiah's reforms, and the blasphemy of Sennacherib, Yahweh preserved Jerusalem and slayed Sennacherib in his own land, in the house of his own gods, by his own sons.

Job 9:13 ​​ If God will not withdraw His anger, the proud helpers do stoop under Him.

​​ 9:14 ​​ How much less shall I answer Him, and choose out my words to reason with Him?

​​ 9:15 ​​ For though I were righteous, I would not answer Him. I pray to Him for my judgment.

​​ 9:16 ​​ If I had called, and He had answered me; I would not believe (H539- be sure) that He had hearkened unto my voice.

​​ 9:17 ​​ For He breaks me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause.

Job is partially right that it is done without cause, but not really. He is being tried by fire to remove the dross he did not know was there. But Yahweh knew it was there. ​​ 

​​ 9:18 ​​ He will not allow me to recover my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

Job is blaming Yahweh for what the devil has done to him.

​​ 9:19 ​​ If I speak of strength, lo, He is strong: and if of judgment, who then shall resist His judgment?

When can I go to this judgment? Job is implying that Yahweh is afraid to judge him, because He knows how righteous Job is. Yahweh is not coming forth to give the judgment to Job so he can die.

David James has done an excellent job in his lesson in Job. You can find notes and links in Job in the Old Testament Books under Scriptures in the main menu at ageoflaodicea.com.

Psalms 27:13 ​​ I had fainted, unless I had believed (H539- was sure) to see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

​​ 

Psalm 78:31 ​​ The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.  ​​​​ (Ex 16:2-15 ​​ Num 11:4-23,31-35)

The fattest refers to the strongest, most influential.

​​ 78:32 ​​ For all this they sinned still, and believed (H539) not for His wondrous works.

Psalms 106:12 ​​ Then believed they (H539- were assured of) His words; they sang His praise.  ​​​​ (Ex 15:1-21) ​​ 

Recounting of Yahweh's works in delivering them from the Egypt, the Sea of Reeds, and the hands of the enemy.

But because of their rebellious ways, again...

​​ 106:24 ​​ Yea, they despised (rejected) the pleasant land, they believed (H539- upheld) not His word:

​​ 106:25 ​​ But murmured (complained) in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh.

​​ 106:26 ​​ Therefore He lifted up His hand against them, to overthrow them (make them fall) in the wilderness:  ​​​​ (Num 14:1-35)

Psalms 116:9 ​​ I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.

​​ 116:10 ​​ I believed (H539- confirmed), therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: ​​ 

​​ 116:11 ​​ I said in my haste, All men are liars.

Proverbs 14:15 ​​ The simple (minded) believeth (H539) every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

Proverbs 26:24 ​​ He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

​​ 26:25 ​​ When he speaketh fair, believe (H539) him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.

Psalm 28:3 ​​ Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

Isaiah 7:9 ​​ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not believe (H539), surely you shall not be established (H539- steadfast).

The Septuagint ends as, 'If you do not believe, you are not stedfast.'

Isaiah 43:10 ​​ Ye are My witnesses, saith Yahweh, and My servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe (H539- be established in) Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.

Isaiah 53:1 ​​ Who hath believed (H539) our report? and to whom is the arm of Yahweh revealed?

Romans 10:16 ​​ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Yahweh, who hath believed our report?  ​​​​ (John 12:38)

Lamentations 4:9 ​​ They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.

​​ 4:10 ​​ The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

​​ 4:11 ​​ Yahweh hath accomplished His fury; He hath poured out His fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.

​​ 4:12 ​​ The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed (H539) that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.

Yahweh sent the Babylonians to punish unrepentant Jerusalem. During the siege, the people ate their own children.

Deuteronomy 28:57 and against her seed which comes out from between her feet, and her children whom she bears, for she eats them in secret for lack of all, in the siege and distress with which your enemy distresses you in all your gates.

Ezekiel 5:10 Therefore fathers are going to eat their sons in your midst, and sons eat their fathers. And I shall execute judgments among you and scatter all your remnant to all the winds.

There were 2 evil men who tried to seduce Susanna told the people a straight up lie that is was another man.

Daniel 13:41 ​​ Then the assembly believed them as those that were the elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to death.

This is a perfect example of 'just believing' and not doing diligent research.

This part of Daniel is in the apocrypha and is where Daniel is first introduced. The Holy Spirit moves him to act. 13:48 ​​ So he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?

Jonah 3:4 ​​ And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.

​​ 3:5 ​​ So the people of Nineveh believed (H539) (aligned with) God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

Some 700 years later Christ speaking to the Edomite Jew Pharisees says:

Matthew 12:41 ​​ The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation (race), and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

​​ 3:6 ​​ For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

​​ 3:7 ​​ And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man (adam) nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:  ​​​​ (2 Chr 20:3)

​​ 3:8 ​​ But let man (adam) and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

​​ 3:9 ​​ Who can tell if God will turn and repent (change His mind), and turn away from His fierce anger, that we perish not?

The king of Assyria, once he heard Jonah's warning, evidently took it to heart, and issued a proclamation demanding that his entire kingdom repent from any and all wickedness. ​​ 

The people of Nineveh did not “just believe”.

​​ 3:10 ​​ And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented (changed His mind) of the evil (harm, punishment), that He had said that He would do unto them; and He did it not.

Habakkuk 1:5 ​​ (Yahweh speaking) Behold you among the heathen (nations), and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which you will not believe (H539), though it be told you. ​​ 

Tobit 14:4 ​​ Go into Media my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Media; (Indeed, everything that was spoken by the prophets of Israel, whom God sent, will occur. None of all their words will fail, but all will come true at their appointed times. So it will be safer in Media than in Assyria and Babylon. For I know and believe that whatever God has said will be fulfilled and will come true; not a single word of the prophecies will fail.) and that our brethren (kindred) shall lie scattered in the earth from that good land: (even Samaria) and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time;

Judith 14:10 ​​ And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined unto the house of Israel unto this day.

4Maccabees 7:18 ​​ But they who have meditated upon religion with their whole heart, these alone can master the passions of the flesh;

​​ 7:19 ​​ they who believe that to God they die not; for, as our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, they live to God.

Wisdom 12:1 ​​ For Your incorruptible Spirit is in all things.

​​ 12:2 ​​ Therefore chastenest You them by little and little that offend, and warnest them by putting them in remembrance wherein they have offended, that leaving their wickedness they may believe on You, O Yahweh.

​​ 12:16 ​​ For Your power is the beginning of righteousness, and because You art Sovereign of all, it maketh You to be gracious unto all.

​​ 12:17 ​​ For when men will not believe that You art of a full power, You shewest Your strength, and among them that know it You makest their boldness manifest (rebuke any insolence). ​​ 

The foolishness of Nature worship

Wisdom 13:1 ​​ Surely vain (foolish) are all men by nature, who are ignorant of God, and could not out of the good things that are seen know Him that is (the one Who exists): neither by considering the works did they acknowledge the Workmaster (Yahweh);

​​ 13:2 ​​ But deemed either fire, or wind, or the swift air, or the circle of the stars, or the violent water, or the lights (luminaries) of heaven (sky), to be the gods which govern the world.

​​ 13:3 ​​ With whose beauty if they being delighted took them to be gods; let them know how much better the Master (Yahweh) of them is: for the first author of beauty hath created them.

​​ 13:4 ​​ But if they (the people) were astonished at their power and virtue, let them understand by them, how much mightier He is that made them.

​​ 13:5 ​​ For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures (created things) proportionably the Maker of them is seen (comes a corresponding perception of their Creator).

​​ 13:6 ​​ But yet for this they (the people) are the less to be blamed: for they peradventure err, seeking God, and desirous to find Him.

​​ 13:7 ​​ For being conversant in (while they live among) His works they search Him diligently, and believe their sight: because the things are beautiful that are seen.

​​ 13:8 ​​ Howbeit neither are they to be pardoned.

​​ 13:9 ​​ For if they were able to know so much, that they could aim at (investigate) the world; how did they not sooner find out Yahweh thereof (the Master of these things)?

Duties toward Yahweh

Sirach 2:6 ​​ Believe (trust) in Him, and He will help you; order your way aright, and trust in Him.

​​ 2:7 ​​ Ye that fear Yahweh, wait for His mercy; and go not aside, lest you fall.

​​ 2:8 ​​ Ye that fear Yahweh, believe (trust in) Him; and your reward shall not fail.

​​ 2:12 ​​ Woe be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner that goeth two ways!

Those that go to 'church' on sungod day and then go out and do dirty deeds during the week.

​​ 2:13 ​​ Woe unto him that is fainthearted! for he believeth (trusts) not; therefore shall he not be defended. ​​ 

Sirach 19:15 ​​ Admonish (Question) a friend: for many times it is a slander, and believe not every tale.

So we have seen in the OT that they were either believing in Yahweh and His messengers, or they were not.

In the New Testament (Renewed Covenant) there's about 8 Greek words for believe and they are nouns, verbs and adjectives.

G543 apeitheia (ap-i-thi-ah), a noun, and means: disbelief, disobedience, unpersuadableness, stubborn, rebellious

G544 apeitheo (ap-i-theh-o), a verb, and means: not believing (refusing to believe), willfully disobedient

G569 apisteo (ap-is-teh-o), a verb, and means: to not believe, and can mean untrustworthy

G570 apistia (ap-is-tee-ah), a noun, and means: unbelief, disobedience

G571 apistos (ap-is-tos), an adjective, and means: an unbelieving one, unbelievers, infidel, untrustworthy alien

G3982 peitho (pi-tho), a verb, and means: to persuade, convince, to rely on, be moved to act, win over, exhort

G4100 pisteuo (pist-yoo-o), a verb, and means: to believe, to think to be true, have confidence in, entrust, acknowledge

G4102 pistis (pis-tis), a noun, and means: conviction, truth itself, a belief, and The Belief

The Belief is the one we want to pay attention to.

There is a belief, which may or may not be the truth, or true.

And there is The Belief, which is the same thing as The Faith, but scripture seems to have it identified as The Belief.

In the Greek, when the definite article 'the' is used with G4102, it is identifying The Belief.

We are used to saying “have faith, believe in the faith, by faith, of faith”, etc. But the way belief is used in the New Testament paints a clearer picture and more meaningful message.

Remember, the scriptures were originally written in Hebrew and Greek and these words carry more and deeper meanings than the English. The English versions generalize words and the true meaning and message is lost or glossed over.

It will sound weird getting used to the terminology, but just stick with it and you may just get what is being brought to light.

Matthew 8:5 ​​ And when Jesus (Yahshua) was entered into Capernaum, there came unto Him a centurion, beseeching Him,

​​ 8:6 ​​ And saying, Prince, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

​​ 8:7 ​​ And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

​​ 8:8 ​​ The centurion answered and said, Prince, I am not worthy that You shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

​​ 8:9 ​​ For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

​​ 8:10 ​​ When Jesus heard it, He marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith (G4102- belief, moral conviction), no, not in Israel. ​​ 

Verses 8-10 Christ seems to mean Israel in the geographic sense here, or in a sense referring to those of Judaea who had kept the law and remembered the prophets.

​​ 8:13 ​​ And Jesus (Yahshua) said unto the centurion, Go your way; and as you hast believed (G4100- acknowledged, are convicted of the truth), so be it done unto you. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

Yahshua Heals a Paralytic

Matthew 9:1 ​​ And He entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into His own city (Nazareth).

​​ 9:2 ​​ And, behold, they brought to Him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus (Yahshua) seeing their faith (G4102- The Belief of them) said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; your sins be forgiven (sent forth, separated from) you.

He had conviction and reliance upon Christ.

The Edomite Jew scribes should have seen the truth of the power of God and praised it. Rather, when they saw Yahshua heal the paralytic, their hearts were even more hardened because then their own authority was challenged.

This is the first time faith (G4102) is used with the definite article 'the' G3588 in the Greek.

The definite article 'the' will will be noted each time in this study when it precedes G4102, which is the word for faith, or believe, to show that it is likely referring to The Belief (which is the same thing as The Faith, or Allegiance, or The Truth).

'Just Believing' is not the same thing as The Belief.

Matthew 9:20 ​​ And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind Him, and touched the hem (tsiytsith) of His garment: ​​ (Num 15:7-41; Deut 22:12)

​​ 9:21 ​​ For she said within herself, If I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole (healed).

​​ 9:22 ​​ But Jesus turned Him about, and when He saw her, He said, Daughter, be of good comfort; your faith (G4102- The Belief of you) hath made you whole (healed you). And the woman was made whole from that hour.

This woman knew about the (hem) tsiytsith, so being an Israelite she must have known about The Belief.

Her own belief did not heal her. The moral conviction of The Belief healed her.

Yahshua Heals Two Blind Men

Matthew 9:27 ​​ And when Jesus (Yahshua) departed thence, two blind men followed Him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

​​ 9:28 ​​ And when He was come into the house, the blind men came to Him: and Jesus (Yahshua) saith unto them, Believe (G4100) you that I am able to do this? They said unto Him, Yea, Master.

​​ 9:29 ​​ Then touched He their eyes, saying, According to your faith (G4102- The Belief of you) be it unto you.

They believed Yahshua could heal them.

Christ told them according to their belief (G4100) in The Belief (G4102) they were healed.

Matthew 13:54 ​​ And when He was come into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue (assembly hall), insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

​​ 13:57 ​​ And they were offended in Him. But Jesus (Yahshua) said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

​​ 13:58 ​​ And He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief (G570).

If you notice, when Yahshua taught in their synagogue they were astonished. Perhaps because they were not teaching His doctrine in them. Just like if He were to go into any 'church' today and preach His doctrine, they too would be offended.

He would most definitely be called a racist.

Matthew 15:22 ​​ And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto Him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Master, You Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

​​ 15:23 ​​ But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and besought Him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

​​ 15:24 ​​ But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

​​ 15:25 ​​ Then came she and worshipped Him, saying, Master, help me.

​​ 15:26 ​​ But He answered and said, It is not meet (good) to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

​​ 15:27 ​​ And she said, Truth, Master: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

​​ 15:28 ​​ Then Jesus (Yahshua) answered and said unto her, O woman, great is your faith (G4102- The Belief of you, convincing or constancy in such profession): be it unto you even as you wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

That the woman was not an Israelite is obvious, and there are some Canaanites that do not have the serpent's blood in them, being of the posterity of Ham's son Canaan, who was a result of incest. ​​ Nevertheless, Christ Himself stated exclusively who He came for.

She was aware of The Belief, acknowledged that she was not of Israel, acknowledged Christ as ​​ the Master, and was convincing in those professions, so Yahshua blessed her daughter. It does not mean, however, that she was given eternal life.

Matthew 17:17 ​​ Then Yahshua answered and said, O faithless (G571- unbelieving) and perverse generation (race), how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to Me.

​​ 17:18 ​​ And Yahshua rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

The phrase in verse 17, “faithless and perverted race” is a remark about Israel. The children of Israel were faithless and perverted because of the alien element among them, which having usurped authority in the kingdom had led them away from true instruction, from true education in the Word, into a ​​ host of errors and misconceptions.

​​ 17:19 ​​ Then came the disciples to Yahshua apart (by Himself), and said, Why could not we cast him out?

​​ 17:20 ​​ And Yahshua said unto them, Because of your unbelief (G570): for verily I say unto you, If you have faith (G4102- belief) as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

If you have belief (of the truth of course), even just a little tiny bit of belief, like a mustard seed, which is tiny, then nothing shall be impossible for you.

Matthew 18:6 ​​ But whoso shall offend (causes) one of these little ones which believe (G4100) in Me (to stumble), it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. ​​ (Eze 14:3; Rom 14:13; 1Cor 8:9; Rev 2:14)

Romans 11:9 ​​ And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

​​ 18:7 ​​ Woe unto the world (society) because of offences (stumbling blocks)! for it must needs be that offences (stumbling blocks) come; but woe to that man by whom the offence (stumblingblock) cometh!

G4100 believe, in the Greek is, pisteuo (pist'yoo'o), and is a verb. It's definitions include: to think to be true, to credit, to place confidence in, a conviction of trust, to entrust one's spiritual being to (Christ).

So simply, what Yahshua is saying, is if any of His sheep who seeks Him, follows Him, puts confidence in Him, and trusts their very life and preservation in Him, and someone causes that sheep to stray, there will be hell to pay!

Yahshua Curses the Fig Tree

Matthew 21:18 ​​ Now in the morning as He returned into the city, He hungered.

​​ 21:19 ​​ And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward for ever. And presently (immediately) the fig tree withered away.

​​ 21:20 ​​ And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

​​ 21:21 ​​ Yahshua answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If you have faith (G4102- belief, moral conviction, truth itself), and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain, Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; it shall be done. ​​ (1Cor 13:2; Rom 8:10; Col 3:5)

​​ 21:22 ​​ And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing (G4100), you shall receive.

Keep in mind that Yahshua is giving these instructions and abilities to His taught ones (disciples) exclusively here in verses 21 and 22. There are times when He is speaking only to His disciples, and times when He is speaking to the multitudes.

G4102, belief (or faith), is pistis in the Greek. This is a noun. A thing, which is truth itself.

You can believe something, but it doesn't make what you believe true.

The truth is the truth, whether you believe it or not.

Perhaps what Yahshua is teaching His disciples is that the doctrine being taught in Jerusalem is not His doctrine, but rather it is the doctrine of the Jew priests and Pharisees. And that the power of the truth will make the counterfeit wither away.

Perhaps it's a prophecy in which His people true Israel would no more grow, or abide in Jerusalem henceforward. After the plowing of Jerusalem in 70 AD by the Romans, have there been any of our people growing there? I think not.

The Authority Of Yahshua Questioned

Matthew 21:23 ​​ And when He was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto Him as He was teaching, and said, By what authority doest You these things? and who gave You this authority?

​​ 21:24 ​​ And Yahshua answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

​​ 21:25 ​​ The baptism (immersion) of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He will say unto us, Why did you not then believe (G4100) him?

They did not think it to be true, they were not persuaded by him, these Jew Pharisees did not have the truth in them.

​​ 21:26 ​​ But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.

​​ 21:27 ​​ And they answered Yahshua, and said, We cannot tell. And He said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

Yahshua allowed them demonstrate that they do not have the truth in them.

​​ 21:32 ​​ For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and you believed (G4100) him not: but the publicans (tax collectors) and the harlots (whores) believed (G4100) him: and you, when you had seen it, repented (regretted, cared) not afterward, that you might believe (G4100) him.

Tax collectors and whores can repent and change their ways. These Edomite Jew scribes and Pharisees cannot because they are not His people, they are the Devil's children. They do not have righteousness or truth in them, they do not have the Spirit in them.

Matthew 23:23 ​​ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law (Torah), judgment (right-ruling), mercy (compassion), and faith (G4102- The Belief): these ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone. ​​ (Lev 27:30)

1Samuel 15:22 ​​ And Samuel said, Hath Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Yahweh? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

The Geneva bible has fidelity where the KJV as 'faith', which is interesting because fidelity is part of the definition of faith. It means loyalty and loyalty means allegiance. Observing the duty, or performance of obligations. Our obligation is to think, act and conduct ourselves as children of the Most High by living according to The Way. The Way, of course, is the daily lifestyle of a true Christian with knowledge and understanding of the truth itself. So faith is really, allegiance, and as Yahshua is calling it, “The Belief”.

Matthew 24:21 ​​ For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  ​​​​ (Dan 12:1; Rev 7:14)

​​ 24:22 ​​ And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's (chosen one's) sake those days shall be shortened.

​​ 24:23 ​​ Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe (G4100) it not.

​​ 24:24 ​​ For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive (lead astray) the very elect (chosen ones).

​​ 24:25 ​​ Behold, I have told you before.

​​ 24:26 ​​ Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe (G4100) it not.

​​ 24:27 ​​ For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man (Adam) be. ​​ 

His remnant are those who have the truth itself, the true knowledge and understanding given only by Yahweh. When you live according to The Belief, meaning the scriptures and the gospel and the law, it would be very hard to be deceived.

That is why the whole world, save the remnant, is deceived. They know not the truth. They believe, but they do not believe 'The Belief'. The true faith.

Matthew 27:20 ​​ But the chief priests and elders persuaded (G3982) the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Yahshua.

Persuaded is G3982, peitho, and means to persuade, to induce one by words to believe or do something, or comply with.

Whether by doing it out of ignorance, or by doing it intentionally, our enemy has our people persuaded to believe in false doctrine, accepting draconian regulations, burdened with usury, brainwashed by media and entertainment, and calling upon a Jewish Jesus.

Matthew 27:41 ​​ Likewise also the chief priests mocking Him, with the scribes and elders, said,

​​ 27:42 ​​ He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He be the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe (G4100) Him.

​​ 27:43 ​​ He trusted (G3982- relied) in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him: for He said, I am the Son of God.

Matthew 28:12 ​​ And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money (bribes) unto the soldiers,

​​ 28:13 ​​ Saying, Say you, His disciples came by night, and stole Him away while we slept.

​​ 28:14 ​​ And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade (G3982- pacify) him, and secure you.

The priesthood, if needed, could give the governor trouble with Ceasar. These devil bastards influenced the authorities then just as today. Paying bribes to propogate their lies.

​​ 28:15 ​​ So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Judaeans until this day.

So you can believe three ways. The first, being the truth given by the Holy Spirit. The second, by your own searching or understanding, which may or may not be the truth. And the third, by wicked persuasion.

Lot's of wicked persuasion in our society today.

It matters Who and what we believe.

Mark 1:14 ​​ Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

​​ 1:15 ​​ And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe (G4100) the gospel.

Mark 2:3 ​​ And they come unto Him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of (lifted by) four.

​​ 2:4 ​​ And when they could not come nigh unto Him for the press (crowd), they uncovered the roof where He was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

​​ 2:5 ​​ When Jesus saw their faith (G4102- The Belief, moral conviction), He said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, your sins be forgiven you. ​​ 

Christ saw that they had the conviction of The Belief.

Mark 4:37 ​​ And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

​​ 4:38 ​​ And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, carest you not that we perish?

​​ 4:39 ​​ And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

​​ 4:40 ​​ And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith (G4102- belief, moral conviction)?

Their belief was lacking constancy. They did not have firmness of mind in their belief.

Mark 5:31 ​​ And His disciples said unto Him, Thou seest the multitude thronging you, and sayest you, Who touched me?

​​ 5:32 ​​ And He looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

​​ 5:33 ​​ But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before Him, and told Him all the truth.

​​ 5:34 ​​ And He said unto her, Daughter, your faith (G4102- The Belief, moral conviction) hath made you whole; go in peace, and be whole of your plague.

Her belief of The Belief healed her. She knew of Him because of her heritage and knowledge of the prophecies. She didn't 'just believe', she had The Belief.

​​ 5:35 ​​ While He yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest you the Master any further?

​​ 5:36 ​​ As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe (G4100).

Christ encouraged them not to be fearing, but to be believing.

Mark 6:4 ​​ But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

​​ 6:5 ​​ And He could there do no mighty work, save that He laid His hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

​​ 6:6 ​​ And He marvelled because of their unbelief (G570). And He went round about the villages, teaching.

G570, apistia, means a want of trust, unbelief, and it also includes disobedience.

2Thessalonians 1:8 ​​ In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Prince Yahshua Christ:

1Peter 4:17 ​​ For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Mark 9:17 ​​ And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto you my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

​​ 9:18 ​​ And wheresoever he taketh (seizes) him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to Your disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.

​​ 9:19 ​​ He answereth him, and saith, O faithless (G571- unbelieving) generation (race), how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto Me.

Yahshua was speaking to His own people here being an unbelieving race. G571 is an adjective describing our people. Unbelieving.

Look at all the 'churches' and how they all 'just believe'. These 'believers' believe a counterfeit belief. They don't believe in The Belief.

​​ 9:20 ​​ And they brought him unto Him: and when he saw Him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

​​ 9:21 ​​ And He asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

​​ 9:22 ​​ And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if you canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. ​​ 

​​ 9:23 ​​ Jesus said unto him, If you canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (G4100- to the one believing).

​​ 9:24 ​​ And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Master, I believe (G4100-I am believing); help You mine unbelief (G570).

​​ 9:25 ​​ When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge you, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

Mark 10:46 ​​ And they came to Jericho: and as He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

​​ 10:47 ​​ And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Yahshua, You Son of David, have mercy on me.

​​ 10:48 ​​ And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal,You Son of David, have mercy on me.

​​ 10:49 ​​ And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; He calleth you.

​​ 10:50 ​​ And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

​​ 10:51 ​​ And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt you (What do you desire) that I should do for you? The blind man said unto Him, Master, that I might receive my sight.

​​ 10:52 ​​ And Jesus said unto him, Go your way; your faith (G4102- The Belief) hath made you whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

Another example that true believers that believe in The Belief are healed.

If he was a false believer he would not have been healed.

Mark 16:11 ​​ And they, when they had heard that He was alive, and had been seen of her (Mary of Magdala), believed (G569) not.

​​ 16:12 ​​ After that He appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. ​​ 

​​ 16:13 ​​ And they went and told it unto the residue (rest): neither believed (G4100) they them.

​​ 16:14 ​​ Afterward He appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief (G570) and hardness of heart, because they believed (G4100) not them which had seen Him after He was risen.

​​ 16:15 ​​ And He said unto them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

The 'world' would be the Adamic society. Wheresoever the race of Adam lived.

'every creature' would be 'everything Yahweh created', meaning those things which Yahweh planted. That being the race of Adam. The people that Yahweh formed to be the heirs of the Kingdom.

​​ 16:16 ​​ He that believeth (G4100) and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth (G569) not shall be damned. ​​ 

He that is believing, and is immersed in knowledge and understanding shall be preserved.

Those that are not believing, or disobeying, shall be damned.

Luke 1:1 ​​ Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration (report) of those things which are most surely believed (G4135- assured, persuaded) among us,

The Geneva ends as, 'whereof we are fully persuaded.'

This is a reference to the gospels, the eyewitness accounts of following Christ.

Luke 1:19 ​​ And the angel (messenger) answering said unto him (Zacharias), I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto you, and to shew you these glad tidings.

Gabriel means “warrior of God”.

​​ 1:20 ​​ And, behold, you shalt be dumb (silent), and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because you believest (G4100) not My words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

Luke 1:44 ​​ For, lo, as soon as the voice of your (Mary's) salutation sounded in mine (Elisabeth's) ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

​​ 1:45 ​​ And blessed is she that believed (G4100): for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from Yahweh.

Luke 5:18 ​​ And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before Him.

​​ 5:19 ​​ And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.

​​ 5:20 ​​ And when He saw their faith (G4102- The Belief of them), He said unto him, Man, your sins are forgiven you.

If they didn't have The Belief, his sins would not have been forgiven and healed.

Luke 7:6 ​​ Then Jesus went with them. And when He was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying unto Him, Prince, trouble not Yourself: for I am not worthy that You shouldest enter under my roof:

​​ 7:7 ​​ Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto You: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

​​ 7:8 ​​ For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

​​ 7:9 ​​ When Jesus heard these things, He marvelled at him, and turned about, and said unto the people that followed Him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith (G4102- belief, conviction), no, not in Israel.

Luke 7:45 ​​ ​​ (Speaking to Simon, a Pharisee) Thou gavest Me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss My feet.

​​ 7:46 ​​ My head with oil you didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed My feet with ointment.

​​ 7:47 ​​ Wherefore I say unto you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. ​​ 

​​ 7:48 ​​ And He said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

​​ 7:49 ​​ And they that sat at meat with Him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

​​ 7:50 ​​ And He said to the woman, Thy faith (G4102- The Belief) hath saved (preserved) you; go in peace.

This Pharisee, Simon, must have been an Israelite, because Yahshua was never welcome in the home of a Jew, nor would He ever sit as a guest with one.

The woman's sins were forgiven, because she had The Belief.

Luke 8:9 ​​ And His disciples asked Him, saying, What might this parable be?

​​ 8:10 ​​ And He said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

​​ 8:11 ​​ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

​​ 8:12 ​​ Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe (G4100) and be saved.

​​ 8:13 ​​ They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe (G4100), and in time of temptation fall away.

Root in the Word comes only through study of the Word itself. If your knowledge is deep, you will not be easily shaken. If you merely “just believe” the message your knowledge is shallow.

Christ wants those with zeal, passion and constancy in such profession.

Luke 8:22 ​​ Now it came to pass on a certain day, that He went into a ship with His disciples: and He said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

​​ 8:23 ​​ But as they sailed He fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

​​ 8:24 ​​ And they came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then He arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

​​ 8:25 ​​ And He said unto them, Where is your faith (G4102- Where is The Belief of you)? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for He commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey Him.

They still lacked the constancy in their belief of The Belief. That's why Yahshua said 'Where is The Belief of you?'.

We have nothing to fear if we hold The Belief.

Luke 12:45 ​​ But and if that servant say in his heart, My master delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

​​ 12:46 ​​ The master of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers (G571).

If Yahweh has enriched us, it is only that we may “give the allotment of grain at the proper time”, that we may be good stewards and in turn provide for our brethren. If He returns and finds us doing so, we shall have a great reward. If He finds us otherwise, then we have already had our reward!

​​ 12:47 ​​ And that servant, which knew his master's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

Having this knowledge and not acting on it, we invite far more punishment upon ourselves than those who are ignorant. The unbelievers in verse 46 is an adjective. A description of untrustworthy infidels. The goats.

Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell.

If you are not consciously seeking His face, He puts you in the same category as active disbelievers.

Luke 16:19 ​​ There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously (luxuriously) every day:

​​ 16:20 ​​ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

The Greek verb, meaning of 'sores' is akin to drag. As if he or someone dragged him their.

​​ 16:21 ​​ And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

​​ 16:22 ​​ And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

​​ 16:23 ​​ And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

​​ 16:24 ​​ And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

​​ 16:25 ​​ But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime receivedst your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you art tormented.

​​ 16:26 ​​ And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

​​ 16:27 ​​ Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you wouldest send him to my father's house:

​​ 16:28 ​​ For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

​​ 16:29 ​​ Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

​​ 16:30 ​​ And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent (reconsider).

​​ 16:31 ​​ And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded (G3982- convinced), though one rose from the dead.

This parable is about the children of Jacob and the children of Esau, as both have Abraham for a father. Yahweh is the potter that made (chose) Jacob as a vessel of mercy, and Esau a vessel fitted to destruction. Verse 19 describes the priesthood and/or the rich at the time, Edomite Jews.

The gulf, in verse 26 is the difference between where the children of light go and where children of darkness go.

Luke 17:5 ​​ And the apostles said unto the Prince, Increase our faith (G4102- belief).

​​ 17:6 ​​ And the Prince said, If you had faith (G4102- belief) as (is the size) a grain of mustard seed, you might say unto this sycamine tree, Be you plucked up by the root, and be you planted in the sea; and it should obey you. ​​ 

All it takes is just a tiny bit of belief, but it's got to be the belief of truth.

Luke 17:12 ​​ And as He entered into a certain village, there met Him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: ​​ 

​​ 17:13 ​​ And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

​​ 17:14 ​​ And when He saw them, He said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. ​​ (Lev 13:2, 14:2)

​​ 17:15 ​​ And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

​​ 17:16 ​​ And fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

​​ 17:17 ​​ And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

​​ 17:18 ​​ There are not (is none) found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

According to Liddell & Scott, Herodotus and others used the Greek word for 'stranger' here to describe a tribal subdivision within a nation.

​​ 17:19 ​​ And He said unto him, Arise, go your way: your faith (G4102- The Belief) hath made you whole.

Assent is a component of faith. It means the act of the mind in admitting, or agreeing to, the truth of a proposition. This one man out of the ten assented to The Belief.

This act of healing these ten men shows that Yahshua loves His kinsmen, and is very merciful, but only a remnant will truly assent and take hold of The Belief.

Luke 18:1 ​​ And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint (falter);

​​ 18:2 ​​ Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

​​ 18:3 ​​ And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

​​ 18:4 ​​ And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

​​ 18:5 ​​ Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary (annoys) me.

​​ 18:6 ​​ And the Prince said, Hear what the unjust judge said.

​​ 18:7 ​​ And shall not God avenge His own elect (chosen ones), which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them?

​​ 18:8 ​​ I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man (Adam) cometh, shall He find faith (G4102- The Belief) on the earth? ​​ 

Luke 22:24 ​​ And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

​​ 22:25 ​​ And He said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles (nations) exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

​​ 22:26 ​​ But you shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

1Peter 5:3 ​​ Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

Heritage involves family. Another race is not part of another's heritage.

​​ 22:27 ​​ For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

​​ 22:28 ​​ Ye are they which have continued with Me in My temptations (trials).

​​ 22:29 ​​ And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as My Father hath appointed unto Me;

​​ 22:30 ​​ That you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

​​ 22:31 ​​ And the Prince said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

​​ 22:32 ​​ But I have prayed for you, that your faith (G4102- The Belief, moral conviction) fail not: and when you art converted (turned about), strengthen your brethren.

Peter was the most stubborn, he needed things repeated 3x often. Peter was the first one called by Christ and He prayed that his belief in The Belief would strengthen and in turn strengthen his brethren.

Luke 22:66 ​​ And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led Him into their council, saying,

​​ 22:67 ​​ Art you the Christ? tell us. And He said unto them, If I tell you, you will not believe (G4100- think to be true):

​​ 22:68 ​​ And if I also ask you, you will not answer Me, nor let Me go.

Luke 24:10 ​​ It was Mary Magdalene (Mary of Magdala), and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

​​ 24:11 ​​ And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed (G569) them not.

Luke 24:24 ​​ And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but Him they saw not.

​​ 24:25 ​​ Then He said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe (G4100- place confidence, trust) all that the prophets have spoken:

​​ 24:26 ​​ Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory?

​​ 24:27 ​​ And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself.

The reference takes us to verse 45 “Then opened He their understanding...” and also references Genesis 3:15, which states “And I (Yahweh) will put enmity between you (Satan) and the woman (Eve), and between your (Satan's) seed and her seed; it (Eve's seed, Adamites/Israelites) shall bruise your (Satan's) head, and you (Satan) shalt bruise his ( Adamites/Israelites) heel.”

Christ was revealing the enmity between the children of light and the children of darkness from the beginning, and about the prophecies and fulfilling of them. ​​ The age old battle between Israel and the Canaanite/Edomite Jews. Now we are in the 2,000 year grace period (Hos 6:2 ​​ After two days will He revive-restore- us: in the third day He will raise-establish- us up, and we shall live in His sight.). We must 'practice' our 'belief' in Christ in order that we are preserved until His 2nd Advent, and He ends this enmity for good.

While Matthew, Mark, and Luke use both the verb G4100 to believe, and the noun G4101 which references The Belief, John uses only the verb form.

John 1:6 ​​ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

Malachi 3:1 ​​ Behold, I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me: and the Prince, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, He shall come, saith Yahweh of hosts.

​​ 1:7 ​​ The same (John) came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light (Christ), that all men through Him might believe (G4100).

'men' is in italics, meaning it was added. This invites the doctrine of universalism, which the scripture is NOT. The Bible is by, to, for and about the race of Adam, and more specifically, the seed of Abraham, the children of Israel. The context is All, Every, and Whosoever of the children of Israel.

That all children of Jacob should be believing.

​​ 1:12 ​​ But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe (G4100) on (in) His name:

Not 'just believe' on His name, but are believing in His name. This is a verb and requires action, which is obedience and an active lifestyle according to The Way.

In verse 12, power comes from the Greek word that means 'authority'. And 'to become' means to come into being, to attain. What is being attained? Those things that Christ is. Righteousness.

John 1:47 ​​ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile (deceit)!

​​ 1:48 ​​ Nathanael saith unto Him, From where do You know me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called you, when you wast under the fig tree, I saw you.

​​ 1:49 ​​ Nathanael answered and saith unto Him, Teacher, You art the Son of God; You art the King of Israel.

​​ 1:50 ​​ Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto you, I saw you under the fig tree, believest you (G4100- do you believe)? You shalt see greater things than these.

Philip knew Nathanael and told him that He whom Moses wrote of was here, so Nathanael came to see, because he believed in the prophecies.

Don't forget, most of the Israelites in Judaea had been taught the false doctrines of the Jew Pharisees, just like most of our people today who are taught Judeo-Christianity which is a Jewish creation designed to lead us astray, and is very successful. Satan is proud of his kids that have pulled our people over to his side. Satan and his children came not for the unrighteous, they have them already, they came for the righteous. When Christ returns, Satan wants to be able to say “These are all my children, they follow me. Where are Your children?”.

That is why it matters Who and what we believe in.

John 2:11 ​​ This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory (honor); and His disciples believed (G4100) on Him.

Christ saw the Jewish merchantile and commerce taking place in the Temple and drove them all out.

John 2:16 ​​ And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not My Father's house an house of merchandise.

​​ 2:17 ​​ And His disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of Your house hath eaten Me up.

Psalm 69:9 ​​ For the zeal of your house hath eaten Me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon Me.

​​ 2:18 ​​ Then answered the Judaeans (Edomites) and said unto Him, What sign shewest You unto us, seeing that You doest these things?

​​ 2:19 ​​ Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

​​ 2:20 ​​ Then said the Judaeans, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt You rear it up in three days?

​​ 2:21 ​​ But He spake of the temple of His body. ​​ 

​​ 2:22 ​​ When therefore He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this unto them; and they believed (G4100) the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

​​ 2:23 ​​ Now when He was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed (G4100) in His name, when they saw the miracles which He did.

​​ 2:24 ​​ But Jesus did not commit (G4100- entrust) Himself unto them, because He knew all men,

The end of verse 24 should read, '...on account that He knowing everyone,'

​​ 2:25 ​​ And needed not that any should testify (witness) of man: for He knew what was in (a) man.  ​​​​ 

Christ knew that there were Canaanites and Edomites among the Israelites in Judaea. He knew He was a threat to the children of darkness, and that He had work to fulfill, so He did not tarry there putting Himself in jeopardy.

Yahshua was speaking to Nicodemus privately at night. He was teaching him about being 'born from above'. Nicodemus was learned in the way of the Pharisees, so he only understood the counterfeit Jewish version, which teaches 'born again'. The 'churches' teach what Nicodemus said which he learned from the Jewish teaching, and not what Christ said, which was totally different.

John 3:9 ​​ Nicodemus answered and said unto Him, How can these things be?

​​ 3:10 ​​ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art you a master (teacher) of Israel, and knowest not these things?

​​ 3:12 ​​ If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe (G4100), if I tell you of heavenly things?

​​ 3:13 ​​ And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, the Son of man (Adam). ​​ 

​​ 3:14 ​​ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man (Adam) be lifted up:

​​ 3:16 ​​ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth (G4100) in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

In verse 16, the 'world' is 'kosmos', meaning the society, the decoration of the dwelling place.

'only begotten' comes from 'monogenes', meaning only born, meaning fulfilled, resulting in 'best loved'.

We are loved, Christ was 'best loved' because He fulfilled His position of Son, we have yet to do this.

'whosoever' comes from 'pas', meaning 'each', each of a group. In the context of the Bible, whosoever, every, and all, refers to the group of the race of Adam, specifically the children of Israel.

Now verse 16 properly translated from the original Greek:

16 ​​ For Yahweh so loved the Society, that He gave the most-beloved Son, in order that each who believes in Him would not be lost but would have eternal life.

Some say that verse 16 is not in the older manuscripts and was added later. It is evident by the oldest manuscripts that verse 16 is indeed there, and indeed different than the newer translations.

​​ 3:17 ​​ For God sent not His Son into the world (society) to condemn the world (society); but that the world (society) through Him might be saved.

​​ 3:18 ​​ He that believeth (G4100) on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth (G4100) not is condemned already, because he hath not believed (G4100) in the name of the only begotten (most beloved) Son of God.

Most people do not know His name, and most put their trust in what the “churches” teach.

“Just believing” in the meaningless name Jesus does not save you.

You must believe in Who and what Jesus is.

He is not a Jew, and to be with Him in the Kingdom is not achieved through the false 'church' teachings of declaring you are 'saved', ignoring the laws and commands, and 'accepting Him in your heart', and expecting to be 'raptured'.

These things are not taught in scripture. They are fake beliefs and have nothing to do with The Belief.

John 3:36 ​​ He that believeth (G4100) on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not ​​ (G544) the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

The second word 'believeth' is a different Greek word than the first.

'...but he disobeying the Son does not see life. Rather the wrath of Yahweh waits for him!'

G544 is apeitheo, and means to not allow one's self to be persuaded, refuse belief, and to be disobedient. Hence, the wrath of Yahweh waits for him!

John 4:19 ​​ The woman (of Samaria) saith unto Him, Sir, I perceive that You art a prophet.

​​ 4:20 ​​ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and You say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

​​ 4:21 ​​ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe (G4100) Me, the hour cometh, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

​​ 4:22 ​​ Ye worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Judaeans.

22 ​​ You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know, because salvation is from among the Judaeans.

The original 1611 version of the KJV reads: “But salvation cometh out of Judaea.”

2Kings 17:29 ​​ Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.

They worshiped dumb gods, myths.

Samaria was the capitol of the 10 northern tribes of Israel. After the Assyrian invasion, Israel was taken away into other lands and Samaria became a melting pot of many peoples. This woman was an Israelite living in Samaria at the time.

Christ was telling her that the time of worshiping there and in Jerusalem was coming to an end.

​​ 4:39 ​​ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed (G4100) on (in) Him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

​​ 4:40 ​​ So when the Samaritans were come unto Him, they besought Him that He would tarry with them: and He abode there two days.

​​ 4:41 ​​ And many more believed (G4100) because of His own word;

​​ 4:42 ​​ And said unto the woman, Now we believe (G4100), not because of your saying: for we have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world (society).

The true Israelites living in Samaria had ears to hear.

​​ 4:45 ​​ Then when He was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received Him, having seen all the things that He did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

Even Christ kept the feast days and appointed times. This would have been the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread. We are still to keep these feasts today.

​​ 4:46 ​​ So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

​​ 4:47 ​​ When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto Him, and besought Him that He would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

​​ 4:48 ​​ Then said Jesus unto him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe (G4100).

​​ 4:49 ​​ The nobleman saith unto Him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

​​ 4:50 ​​ Jesus saith unto him, Go your way; your son liveth. And the man believed (G4100) the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

​​ 4:51 ​​ And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Your son liveth.

​​ 4:52 ​​ Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend (became better). And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour (1pm) the fever left him.

​​ 4:53 ​​ So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Your son liveth: and himself believed (G4100), and his whole house.

As Christ stated, 'If you people do not see signs and wonders, you do not believe at all'.

It's not about “just believing”. The definition includes commitment. That would be 'practicing' by obeying His commandments and following His example. He would not have healed his child if he wasn't going to believe.

John 5:24 ​​ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth (G4100) on (in) Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

​​ 5:25 ​​ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

Ephesians 5:14 ​​ Wherefore He saith, Awake you that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

The walking dead shall hear His word, and those who have died believing The Belief shall also hear His voice when He frees the captives from Hades, the land of the dead.

Christ speaking to the Edomite Jew Pharisees.

John 5:37 ​​ And the Father Himself, which hath sent Me, hath borne witness of Me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape.

​​ 5:38 ​​ And you have not His word abiding in you: for whom He hath sent, Him you believe not (G4100- do not think to be true).

​​ 5:39 ​​ Search the scriptures; for in them you think you (for you suppose by them to) have eternal life: and they (these, the scriptures) are they which testify of Me. ​​ 

​​ 5:40 ​​ And you will not come to Me, that you might have life.

​​ 5:41 ​​ I receive not honour from men.

41 ​​ I would not receive an opinion from men.

The Geneva has 'praise from men'. The Scriptures 2009 has 'esteem from men'.

​​ 5:42 ​​ But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.

​​ 5:43 ​​ I am come in My Father's name, and you receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.

​​ 5:44 ​​ How can you believe (G4100), which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

44 ​​ How are you able to believe an opinion being received from each other, and the opinion from the One and Only you do not seek?

The Edomite Jews followed the letter of the law and had a form of godliness. They sought the praise of men.

Romans 2:29 ​​ But he is a Judaean, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Look how the Jews give awards to each other for praise. Emmy's, Globes, Nobel Peace Prize, Pulitzer.

​​ 5:45 ​​ Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom you trust (in whom you have hope).

​​ 5:46 ​​ For had you believed (G4100) Moses, you would have believed (G4100) Me: for he wrote of Me.

​​ 5:47 ​​ But if you believe (G4100) not his writings, how shall you believe (G4100) My words?

John chapter 8 reinforces that the Edomite Jews do not have the truth in them. They do not have the Spirit (DNA). They are of their father the Devil. Christ sets the record straight. The 'churches' also do not hear His word, their consciences are seared, and they love their Jewish Jesus and happy meal doctrines of love and peace.

John 6:25 ​​ And when they (the people) had found Him on the other side of the sea, they said unto Him, Teacher, when camest You hither?

​​ 6:26 ​​ Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek Me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

Free loaders. They followed Him to fill their bellies.

​​ 6:27 ​​ Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man (Adam) shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed (confirmed).

​​ 6:28 ​​ Then said they unto Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

​​ 6:29 ​​ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe (G4100) on (in) Him whom He hath sent.

1John 3:23 ​​ And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Yahshua Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

​​ 6:30 ​​ They said therefore unto Him, What sign shewest You then, that we may see, and believe (G4100) You? what dost You work (What would You do)?

​​ 6:31 ​​ Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

​​ 6:32 ​​ Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

​​ 6:33 ​​ For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world (society).

The bread (manna) in the desert was a “type” of ​​ Christ.

That bread was physical, fleshly bread, it preserved the body to sustain life.

THE bread is Christ. He preserves your Spirit. He gives LIFE.

Eating His bread is NOT “just believing”.

Eating His bread includes: repentance, acknowledgment, understanding, practicing, obedience, righteousness, godliness, actively and consciously striving, seeking, pursuing, imitating, and thanking Him. Having total allegiance (faith).

​​ 6:34 ​​ Then said they unto Him, Prince, evermore give us this bread.

​​ 6:35 ​​ And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth (G4100) on (in) Me shall never thirst.

If you “believe” in Him, you must “believe” in His doctrine and commandments and follow them. “Believing” in Him requires standing for Him and honoring Him by being a loyal example of what He represents. It's a heritage, a family tradition. An heir should act like one in order to receive the inheritance.

​​ 6:36 ​​ But I said unto you, That you also have seen Me, and believe not (G4100- and still you do not believe).

​​ 6:37 ​​ All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.

​​ 6:38 ​​ For I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me.

​​ 6:39 ​​ And this is the Father's will which hath sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose (destroy) nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

​​ 6:40 ​​ And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth (G4100) on (in) Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Yahshua was teaching in their synagogues, or Judeo assembly halls.

John 6:64 ​​ But there are some of you that believe not (G4100). For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not (G4100), and who should betray Him.

Let's look at the Greek, which does not leave out the pronoun 'they', that the KJV does.

64 ​​ “But some from among you are they who do not believe.” (For Yahshua knew from the beginning who they who do not believe are, and who it is who shall betray Him.)

​​ 6:65 ​​ And He said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto Him of My Father.

​​ 6:66 ​​ From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.

​​ 6:67 ​​ Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will you also go away?

​​ 6:68 ​​ Then Simon Peter answered Him, Prince, to whom shall we go? You hast the words of eternal life.

​​ 6:69 ​​ And we believe (G4100) and are sure that you art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

Peter and the true disciples believed in The Belief.

John 7:1 ​​ After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for He would not walk in Jewry (Judaea), because the Jews sought to kill Him.

'Jew' in the Bible should always be 'Judaean'. Jewry is not a place. And Christ certainly did not walk in the ways of Jews. The last word 'Jew' in verse 1 fits the context of the race that kills Christ, so it is left alone. If you use the correct word 'Judaeans', then you have to understand that there were Edomite Jews in Judaea that sought to kill Him.

​​ 7:2 ​​ Now the Judaeans' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

Again, observing the feast days, which we are still to do.

​​ 7:3 ​​ His brethren therefore said unto Him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You doest.

​​ 7:4 ​​ For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If You do these things, shew Yourself to the world (society).

​​ 7:5 ​​ For neither did His brethren believe (G4100) in Him.

These were Mary's other children. They did not believe in Him and were challenging Him to prove Himself.

At the feast, many were seeking Him, and many did not believe Him.

John 7:25 ​​ Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this He, whom they seek to kill?

​​ 7:26 ​​ But, lo, He speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

Some people in the crowds were aware of the Pharisees intentions.

​​ 7:27 ​​ Howbeit we know this man whence He is (from): but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth where He is (from).

This was a Pharisaic doctrine that was taught. That no man will know Him when He comes and from where.

Verse 42 reads, 'Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?'

The Pharisees taught the opposite of the scriptures, just like today's “churches” do.

Many Israelites knew where Christ would come from, and were expecting Him, and knew Him.

​​ 7:28 ​​ Then cried Jesus in the temple as He taught, saying, Ye both know Me, and you know whence (where) I am (from): and I am not come of Myself, but He that sent Me is true (truthful), whom you know not.

The Edomites did not know Him because they were not His people, they were not of His race. Christ was of the children of Light. The Edomites are of the children of Darkness.

​​ 7:29 ​​ But I know Him: for I am from Him, and He hath sent Me.

​​ 7:30 ​​ Then they (the Jews) sought to take Him: but no man laid hands on Him, because His hour was not yet come.

​​ 7:31 ​​ And many of the people believed (G4100) on (in) Him, and said, When Christ cometh, will He do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

The True Israelites among the Judaeans accepted that He was Him.

​​ 7:35 ​​ Then said the Jews (Judaeans) among themselves, Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? will He go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

The 'dispersed' is correctly translated here, as it refers to the dispersed Nations of the tribes of Israel. Those that did not come back to Judaea after captivity and forgot their heritage.

“Gentiles”, which should not be in the Bible, is a Latin word that only means a nation, race, or people. Most of the time it refers to the dispersed Nations of Israel, sometimes it refers to the other nations of peoples. That is why context is important.

Here in verse 35, the KJV translators took the Greek word 'Hellen', which means a Greek speaking person, and put 'Gentile'. This is a deliberate error used to support universalism.

​​ 7:36 ​​ What manner of saying is this that He said, Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I am, thither you cannot come?

​​ 7:37 ​​ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. ​​ (Isa 55:1)

​​ 7:38 ​​ He that believeth (G4100) on (in) Me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. ​​ 

​​ 7:39 ​​ (But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe (G4100) on (in) Him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Yahshua is still talking directly to the Pharisees in the treasury in the Temple, and in the sight of the people.

John 8:21 ​​ Then said Jesus again unto them, I go My way, and you shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, you cannot come.

​​ 8:22 ​​ Then said the Jews (the Edomite Judaeans), Will He kill Himself? because He saith, Whither I go, you cannot come.

​​ 8:23 ​​ And He said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world (society); I am not of this world. (I am not from of this society)

​​ 8:24 ​​ I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe (G4100) not that I am He, you shall die in your sins.

Christ was speaking for the benefit of His Israelites. He was not telling the Jews that if they also believe Him then they can be His disciples too.

As you may be able to see, this whole chapter is a rebuke of the Jews and their satanic doctrine. He was plainly telling them that they care not and cannot know, hear and see Him or the Father.

​​ 8:30 ​​ As He spake these words, many believed (G4100) on (in) Him.

The True Israelites in the crowd believed because of the prophets and the prophecies, they knew their heritage and were expecting Him, these Judaeans were starting to realize that their Prince has come.

​​ 8:31 ​​ Then said Jesus to those Judaeans (the Israelite Judaeans) which believed (G4100) on (in) Him, If you continue in My word, then are you My disciples indeed;

​​ 8:32 ​​ And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

​​ 8:41 ​​ Ye do the deeds of your father (the Devil). Then said they to Him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

The Jews, and the “churches” claim we are all God's children. Scripture tells a different story.

​​ 8:42 ​​ Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, you would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me.

​​ 8:43 ​​ Why do you not understand My speech? because you cannot (are not able to) hear My word.

​​ 8:44 ​​ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own (devices): for he is a liar, and the father of it.

​​ 8:45 ​​ And because I tell you the truth, you believe (G4100) Me not.

​​ 8:46 ​​ Which of you convinceth (censures) Me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe (G4100) Me?

​​ 8:47 ​​ He that is from of God heareth God's words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God.

In John chapter 9, these Jews just could not believe that Yahshua was Messiah and that the blind man was healed by The Belief.

The blind man was asking the Jew Pharisees why they did not know who the Christ was. That He hears the cries of those who worship Him, and if this man was not of Elohiym, He could do nothing.

John 9:34 ​​ They answered and said unto him, You wast altogether born in sins, and dost you teach us? And they cast him out.

The blind man who received sight, and had understanding, just gave the Pharisees a lesson and their pride was slammed.

​​ 9:35 ​​ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Dost you believe (G4100) on (in) the Son of God?

​​ 9:36 ​​ He answered and said, Who is He, Master, that I might believe (G4100) on (in) Him?

​​ 9:37 ​​ And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with you.

​​ 9:38 ​​ And he said, Master, I believe (G4100). And he worshipped Him.

John 10:22 ​​ And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

This is not the Jewish hellyday of Hannukah. That is their perversion. This was instituted by Judas Maccabaeus [164 BC] in memory of the cleansing of the temple from the pollution of Antiochus Epiphanes, which occurs mid December.

​​ 10:23 ​​ And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

​​ 10:24 ​​ Then came the Judaeans (Edomite priests) round about Him, and said unto Him, How long dost You make us to doubt? If You be the Christ, tell us plainly.

Again, these Edomites just don't get it, because they are not able to, they are not His sheep.

​​ 10:25 ​​ Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed (G4100) not: the works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me.

​​ 10:26 ​​ But you believe (G4100) not, because you are not of My sheep, as I said unto you.

​​ 10:37 ​​ If I do not the works of My Father, believe (G4100) Me not.

​​ 10:38 ​​ But if I do, though you believe (G4100) not Me, believe (G4100) the works: that you may know, and believe (G4100), that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.

​​ 10:39 ​​ Therefore they sought again to take Him: but He escaped out of their hand,

​​ 10:40 ​​ And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there He abode.

​​ 10:41 ​​ And many resorted unto Him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.

​​ 10:42 ​​ And many believed (G4100) on Him there.

John 11:21 ​​ Then said Martha unto Jesus, Prince, if You hadst been here, my brother (Lazarus) had not died.

​​ 11:22 ​​ But I know, that even now, whatsoever You wilt ask of God, God will give it You.

​​ 11:23 ​​ Jesus saith unto her, Your brother shall rise again.

​​ 11:24 ​​ Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

This shows that these Israelites knew of the scriptures and prophecies to a certain extent.

​​ 11:25 ​​ Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth (G4100) in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

​​ 11:26 ​​ And whosoever liveth and believeth (G4100) in Me shall never die. Believest (G4100) you this?

​​ 11:27 ​​ She saith unto Him, Yea, Prince: I believe (G4100) that You art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world (society).

​​ 11:40 ​​ Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto you, that, if you wouldest believe (G4100), you shouldest see the glory of God?

​​ 11:41 ​​ Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, Father, I thank You that You hast heard Me.

​​ 11:42 ​​ And I knew that You hearest Me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe (G4100) that You hast sent Me.

​​ 11:43 ​​ And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

​​ 11:44 ​​ And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

​​ 11:45 ​​ Then many of the Judaeans which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed (G4100) on (in) Him.

​​ 11:46 ​​ But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

While some of these Judaeans may have been spies, some, out of ignorance of the situation, reported to the Pharisees to prove that this is the Christ.

​​ 11:47 ​​ Then gathered the chief (Jew) priests and the (Jew) Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

​​ 11:48 ​​ If we let Him thus alone, all men will believe (G4100) on (in) Him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

Psalm 2:2 ​​ The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Prince, and against his anointed (the group, the children of Israel)

The Jews were fearful of the Romans stripping them of their occupancy and authority. The nation that the Romans would take away also would be of their own. They ought to be used to being kicked out for they have been kicked out of countries over 359 times througout history for their satanic ways.

John 12:10 ​​ But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

The Jews want to kill Christ AND dispose of the evidence (Lazarus)!

​​ 12:11 ​​ Because that by reason of him many of the Judaeans went away, and believed (G4100) on (in) Jesus.

The true Israelites were leaving the brainwashing of the Pharisees and Sadducees and returning to Christ and The Belief.

John 12:28 ​​ Father, glorify Your name. Then came there a voice from the sky, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

​​ 12:29 ​​ The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to Him.

Could it be that those who were not His sheep (the Edomite and Canaanite Jews) heard thunder, and His sheep (the children of Israel) heard the voice?

​​ 12:30 ​​ Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of Me, but for your sakes.

​​ 12:31 ​​ Now is the judgment of this world (society): now shall the prince of this world (society) be cast out.

The prince of this world is currently Satan and his Jew children.

​​ 12:32 ​​ And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.

​​ 12:33 ​​ This He said, signifying what death He should die.

​​ 12:34 ​​ The people answered Him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest You, The Son of man (Adam) must be lifted up? who is this Son of man (Adam)?

​​ 12:35 ​​ Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

​​ 12:36 ​​ While you have light, believe (G4100) in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide Himself from them.

​​ 12:37 ​​ But though He had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed (G4100) not on (in) Him:

​​ 12:38 ​​ That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Yahweh, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of Yahweh been revealed? ​​ (Is 53:1)

​​ 12:39 ​​ Therefore they could not believe (G4100), because that Isaiah said again,

​​ 12:40 ​​ He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

​​ 12:41 ​​ These things said Isaiah, when he saw His glory (honor), and spake of Him. ​​ 

​​ 12:42 ​​ Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed (G4100) on (in) Him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

It is evident that some of the few true Israelites among the chief rulers understood that this was Him, but did not make it known, 'for fear of the Jews'.

​​ 12:43 ​​ For they (the Jews) loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

​​ 12:44 ​​ Jesus cried and said, He that believeth (G4100) on Me, believeth (G4100) not on (in) Me, but on (in) Him that sent Me.

​​ 12:45 ​​ And he that seeth Me seeth Him that sent Me. ​​ (1 Pet 1:21)

​​ 12:46 ​​ I am come a light into the world (society), that whosoever believeth (G4100) on (in) Me should not abide in darkness.

​​ 12:47 ​​ And if any man hear My words, and believe (G4100) not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world (society), but to save the world (society).

John 13:18 ​​ I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with Me hath lifted up his heel against Me.

Talking about the Jew Judas.

If Christ, in all His fairness, gave His enemy a chance, for 3 years, and the fruit is still rotten, how do the “churches” think that they can convert Jews?!

​​ 13:19 ​​ Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, you may believe (G4100) that I am He.

John 14:1 ​​ Let not your heart be troubled: you believe (G4100) in God, believe (G4100) also in Me.

​​ 14:10 ​​ (Speaking to Philip) Believest (G4100) you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works.

​​ 14:11 ​​ Believe (G4100) Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe (G4100) Me for the very works' sake.

​​ 14:12 ​​ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth (G4100) on (in) Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.

​​ 14:28 ​​ Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you loved Me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for My Father is greater than I.

​​ 14:29 ​​ And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe (G4100).

​​ 14:30 ​​ Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world (society) cometh, and hath nothing in Me (and he possesses none at all in Me).

Satan and his Jew Canaanite and Edomite sheeny children possess none of those believing in Him.

John 10:29 ​​ (Those with The Belief which) My Father has given Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.

John 16:7 ​​ Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient (an advantage) for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

The Comforter is no doubt the Holy Spirit.

​​ 16:8 ​​ And when he is come, he will reprove the world (society) of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

​​ 16:9 ​​ Of sin, because they believe (G4100) not on (in) Me;

​​ 16:10 ​​ Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and you see Me no more;

​​ 16:11 ​​ Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

​​ 16:26 ​​ At that day you shall ask in My name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

​​ 16:27 ​​ For the Father Himself loveth you, because you have loved Me, and have believed (G4100) that I came out from God.

​​ 16:28 ​​ I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world (society): again, I leave the world (society), and go to the Father.

The phrase, 'am come into', the Greek has, 'spoke to society'.

​​ 16:29 ​​ His disciples said unto Him, Lo, now speakest You plainly, and speakest no proverb (and not using figure of speech).

​​ 16:30 ​​ Now are we sure that You knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask (question) You: by this we believe (G4100) that You camest forth from God.

​​ 16:31 ​​ Jesus answered them, Do you now believe (G4100)?

​​ 16:32 ​​ Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that you shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave Me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

John 17:7 ​​ Now they have known that all things whatsoever You hast given Me are of You.

​​ 17:8 ​​ For I have given unto them the words which You gavest Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from You, and they have believed (G4100) that You didst send Me.

​​ 17:9 ​​ I pray for them: I pray not for the world (society), but for them which You hast given Me; for they are Yours.

1John 5:19 ​​ We know that we are from of God, and the whole society lies in the power of the Evil One.

​​ 17:20 ​​ Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe (G4100) on (in) Me through their word;

The Gospels, Paul's epistles, and those whom the Spirit gives understanding.

​​ 17:21 ​​ That they all may be one; as You, Father, art in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us: that the world (society) may believe (G4100) that You hast sent Me.

John 19:34 ​​ But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

​​ 19:35 ​​ And he that saw it bare record, and his record (witness) is true: and he knoweth that he is speaking the truth, that you might believe (G4100).

John 5:8 ​​ And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

Spear of Longinus

As Jesus hung dying on the cross (stake), a Roman centurion named Gaius Cassius Longinus looked on. It was Law at the time that no one could be executed on the Sabbath day. Therefore any man who survived until the evening of the eve of the Sabbath would have both legs broken, this prevented the crucified man from keeping his weight off his arms and chest and he would then slump down and slowly be suffocated. The Romans would sometimes shorten the executions by breaking the legs of the crucified, to make it impossible for them to stand, bringing about immediate suffocation. The centurion Longinus who had watched Christ carry the cross (or stake) through the streets and hadn't left His side until now could no longer bare to watch His suffering.

Now here the hammers and ladders were being brought to the crosses way too early. While spying on Jesus, Longinus had become very familiar with the prophecies in scripture about a Messiah to come, among other things, that not a bone in his body would be broken. Longinus was certain that the Pharisees were anxious to put an end to the speculation that Jesus was this “Messiah” by breaking His bones in the guise of hastening Jesus' death. Then people would say, “He can't have been the Messiah, See, bones were broken.”

This filled Longinus with (righteous) rage. He knew they were going to break His legs just to prove a point.

As the men began their work with the two malefactors, to hide special interest in breaking Christ's legs, Longinus saw to his surprise that Christ was dead already. Seeing that the men were still moving to break His legs anyway, he was overcome with (righteous) anger and zeal, Longinus jumped on his horse, and spurred over to a soldier holding a spear, seized it and spurred his horse over to Christ's cross and pierced His side. Saying, “See, you morons, He's already dead, no need to break His legs!”

And that is why John's gospel says that instead of having His legs broken, Christ was stabbed in the side. This was an act of love, (and the fruits of The Belief).

When the tip of Longinus' spear pierced Christ's side, the accumulation of lymph and blood filling Christ's lungs, generated from the seizing caused by His savage scourging hours earlier, exploded outward and flooded down the spear and down Longinus arm, and splashed into his eyes. Having vision problems previously, his cataracts fell off. Suddenly, his vision was perfect.

John 20:8 ​​ Then went in also that other disciple (John), which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed (G4100).

​​ 20:9 ​​ For as yet they knew not the scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.

​​ 20:24 ​​ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

​​ 20:25 ​​ The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Prince. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe (G4100).

​​ 20:26 ​​ And after eight days again His disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

​​ 20:27 ​​ Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither your finger, and behold My hands; and reach hither your hand, and thrust it into My side: and be not faithless (G571- unbelieving), but believing (G4103- trusting, persuaded).

​​ 20:28 ​​ And Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Prince and my God.

​​ 20:29 ​​ Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because you hast seen Me, you hast believed (G4100): blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed (G4100).

​​ 20:30 ​​ And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book:

​​ 20:31 ​​ But these are written, that you might believe (G4100) that Yahshua is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing (G4100) you might have life through His name. ​​ 

Acts 2:40 ​​ And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward (crooked) generation (race).

The context of this sermon of Peter is talking about the corrupt religious sects who agitated the people to join in with them and crucify Christ.

​​ 2:41 ​​ Then they that gladly received his word were baptized (immersed in the truth): and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

​​ 2:42 ​​ And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

​​ 2:43 ​​ And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

​​ 2:44 ​​ And all that believed (G4100) were together, and had all things common;

​​ 2:45 ​​ And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

Isaiah 58:7 ​​ Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house? when you seest the naked, that you cover him; and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh (race, kinsmen)?

After Peter healed a lame man, the people marvelled. And he said...

Acts 3:13 ​​ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified His Son Jesus; whom you delivered up, and denied Him in the presence of Pilate, when He was determined to let Him go. ​​ (John 12:16)

​​ 3:14 ​​ But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer (Barabas) to be granted unto you;

​​ 3:15 ​​ And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.

​​ 3:16 ​​ And His name through faith (G4102- The Belief) in His name hath made this man strong, whom you see and know: yea, the faith (G4102- The Belief) which is by Him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

The book of Acts also reveals what the faith is. The Greek word is still G4102, pistis, and the definite article 'the' is used. This identifies that it is The Belief.

With careful examination, we can see that this verse is saying His name, through The Belief in His name healed this man, and The Belief which comes through Him, or by Him, has made him whole.

In other words, 'just believing' on a Jewish Jesus is not The Belief. It's only lip service and a bad case of mistaken identity. A ticket on the rapture flight to the lake of fire.

Note also that Peter addressed his fellow Israelites, not 'the church'.

Acts 4:1 ​​ And as they (the disciples) spake unto the people, the (Jew) priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

​​ 4:2 ​​ Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

Why did the religious sects grieve about the apostles teaching truth? Because they were of the serpent seed.

​​ 4:3 ​​ And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.

​​ 4:4 ​​ Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed (G4100); and the number of the men was about five thousand.

They sure were hurting the business of the Jew priests and Sadduccees.

The apostles, being released, left the company of the Edomite priestly rulers and 'went to their own company', Israelites.

​​ 4:31 ​​ And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with boldness (frankness). ​​ 

​​ 4:32 ​​ And the multitude of them that believed (G4100) were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

Acts 5:12 ​​ And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought (done) among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. ​​ (Rom 15:19)

​​ 5:13 ​​ And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

​​ 5:14 ​​ And believers (G4100) were the more added to the Prince, multitudes both of men and women.)

​​ 5:15 ​​ Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

Acts 6:1 ​​ And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

​​ 6:2 ​​ Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.

​​ 6:3 ​​ Wherefore, brethren, look you out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. ​​ 

​​ 6:4 ​​ But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the Word.

​​ 6:5 ​​ And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith (G4102- conviction, truth itself) and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

​​ 6:6 ​​ Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

​​ 6:7 ​​ And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith (G4102- The Belief).

​​ 6:8 ​​ And Stephen, full of faith (G4102- conviction) and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

When a eunuch was in his chariot reading Isaiah, from the Septuagint, which Christ and the apostles quoted from, the Spirit told Philip to join him. Philip opened his mouth and preached unto him about Yahshua.

Verse 37 is not in any manuscript before the 6th century AD. This verse is an addition to support the doctrine of “just believe”.

Acts 8:37 ​​ And Philip said, If you believest with all your heart, you mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

The 'churches' love these kind of passages because it falsely teaches that all you have to do is 'just believe and accept Him in your heart'.

This is so evil, because not only is it a lie, it has them trust in these false teachings and they take their preachers word for it, their own declaration of being 'personally saved', and it makes them lazy about proving what scripture teaches.

Just look at how many people 'believe with all their heart'. They don't know anything about scripture, who they are, who Yahshua is, why He had to die, who He came for, and they don't live a true Christian life. They eat pork, they support the devil's children, they don't follow the law or keep the feasts and Shabbaths, and worship a Jewish Jesus that doesn't even exist.

Acts 9:26 ​​ And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed (G4100) not that he was a disciple.

Because Saul was a Pharisee and persecuted the Israelites before Yahshua dealt with him on the way to Damascus.

Acts 9:40 ​​ But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

​​ 9:41 ​​ And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

​​ 9:42 ​​ And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed (G4100) in the Prince.

Acts chapter 10 is Peter's vision on a roof top at noon and his visit to Cornelius.

The 'churches' use this chapter to teach that the food laws were 'done away with' and that Jesus made pork and other unclean animals edible.

Here the animals in Peter's vision do not represent foods, but rather they represent people, and what Yahweh had cleansed were uncircumcised Israelites. Israelites that lived outside Judaea that had become pagan and forgot who they were and Whose they were.

Even Peter did not understand the vision, but the Spirit taught him.

Acts 10:33 ​​ Immediately therefore I (Cornelius) sent to you; and you hast well done that you art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded you of God.

​​ 10:34 ​​ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

Meaning rich, poor, popular, nobody, high office, no office. Your stature in life.

​​ 10:35 ​​ But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him.

The context is Israelites. Every nation of the 12 tribes.

​​ 10:36 ​​ The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (He is Prince of all:)

​​ 10:37 ​​ That word, I say, you know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; ​​ (Luke 4:14)

​​ 10:38 ​​ How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him. ​​ (Luke 4:18, Heb 1:9)

​​ 10:39 ​​ And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Judaeans, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

​​ 10:40 ​​ Him God raised up the third day, and shewed Him openly;

​​ 10:41 ​​ Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, to us who did eat and drink with Him after He rose from the dead.

​​ 10:42 ​​ And He commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is He which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

​​ 10:43 ​​ To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth (G4100) in Him shall receive remission of (the penalty of) sins. ​​ 

​​ 10:44 ​​ While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them which heard the word.

Notice there was no water baptism. They were immersed in the knowledge and understanding of The Belief.

​​ 10:45 ​​ And they of the circumcision (the house of Judah) which believed (G4103- kept his plighted belief) were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel, the uncircumcised) also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Because both houses were children of Israel. The house of Judah returned from the Babylonian captivity back to the land of Judaea and tried to keep the law and knew their heritage. The house of Israel, which was the 10 northern tribes, did not return after the Assyrian captivity and settled all over the Greco-Roman empire and into Europe, forgetting their heritage and the law of God.

Acts 11:17 ​​ Forasmuch then as God gave them (the circumcised house of Judah) the like gift as He did unto us (the uncircumcised dispersed house of Israel), who believed (G4100) on the Prince Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

The Judaeans were now starting to understand that both the houses of Judah and of Israel were Israelite kinsmen.

​​ 11:18 ​​ When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles (Nations, uncircumcised) granted repentance (a change of mind, compunction) unto life.

These next verses of Romans are the references to the above verses.

Romans 10:12 ​​ For there is no difference between the Judaean (Israelites of Judaea) and the Greek (Israelites of the dispersion): for the same Prince over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.

10:13 ​​ For whosoever (meaning the children of Israel) shall call upon the name of the Prince shall be saved (preserved).

Romans 15:9 ​​ And that the Gentiles (uncircumcised, dispersed Israel) might glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, For this cause I (Paul) will confess to you among the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel), and sing unto your name.

Romans 15:16 ​​ That I (Paul) should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles (Nations-of Israel), ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles (Nations of Israel that forgot who they were) might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

​​ 11:19 ​​ Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Judaeans only.

​​ 11:20 ​​ And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Prince Jesus.

​​ 11:21 ​​ And the hand of the Prince was with them: and a great number believed (G4100), and turned unto the Prince.

​​ 11:22 ​​ Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church (assembly) which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

​​ 11:23 ​​ Who, when he came, and had seen the grace (favor) of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Prince.

​​ 11:24 ​​ For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith (G4102- belief): and much people was added unto the Prince.

The message of redemption to all the Nations of Israel was spreading, and they were becoming reacquainted with the spirit and law on their heart.

The scriptures prophecy that Israelites bring the word to the world (Adamic society). And we are seeing proof here.

When did the serpent seed Jews ever bring the gospel anywhere? Never.

Their father's gospel has been spread all over the world. Everything from the food, air, and water, to the Babylonian banking system and multi-culturism, to the porn and entertainment industry, to the medical and pharmakeia system, to every corporate and government office, to the very doctrines taught in all the denominations. ​​ 

Acts 13:6 ​​ And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:

​​ 13:7 ​​ Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

​​ 13:8 ​​ But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith (G4102- The Belief). ​​ (Exo 7:11, 2 Tim 3:8)

The name Saul means, to straddle. Paul certainly bridged Hebrewism and the Greco-Roman world.

​​ 13:9 ​​ Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him,

​​ 13:10 ​​ And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, you child of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, wilt you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Prince? ​​ 

​​ 13:11 ​​ And now, behold, the hand of the Prince is upon you, and you shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

​​ 13:12 ​​ Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed (G4100), being astonished at the doctrine of the Prince. ​​ 

​​ 13:13 ​​ Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

​​ 13:14 ​​ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue (assembly hall) on the sabbath day, and sat down.

​​ 13:16 ​​ Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, you that fear God, give audience.

You will notice that Paul and the apostles always addressed their kinsmen, their brethren, the stock of Abraham. They never address the 'church' or anyone else because the scriptures are our history, heritage, laws, and Yahweh is our God and Yahshua is our Kinsman Redeemer.

Paul goes on to give a brief account of our history in Egypt and the days of King David.

​​ 13:26 ​​ Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, ​​ whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

​​ 13:32 ​​ And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

​​ 13:33 ​​ God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that He hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You art My Son, this day have I begotten you. ​​ (Psa 2:7)

​​ 13:38 ​​ Be it known unto you therefore, men, brethren, that through this Man (Christ) is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: ​​ (Jer 31:34)

​​ 13:39 ​​ And by Him all that believe (G4100) are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Even though we are to follow the law, the law cannot justify us. If it did, then what do we need Christ for?

The sacrificial rituals were 'done away with', but we are still to obey all the other commandments, statutes and judgments.

One can follow the law, but not believe. And one can believe, but not follow the law.

But one that follows the law and believes has honor and love toward Yahweh. They have The Belief, and will be rewarded for it.

Can we be perfect in our obedience and belief? No. But it's the effort He is looking for.

Acts 13:46 ​​ Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you (the house of Judah): but seeing you put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel, the “lost” sheep).

It was necessary for Paul to bring the word to the true Israelite Judaeans first (Zec 12:7; Rom 1:16), because they were the tribes that returned to Jerusalem to preserve the law and bring in the Messiah.

​​ 13:47 ​​ For so hath the Prince commanded us, saying, I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles (dispersed Nations), that you shouldest be for salvation (preservation) unto the ends of the earth.

Wherever Israelites are.

Isaiah 42:6 ​​ I Yahweh have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles (lost sheep, dispersed of Israel;

Isaiah 49:6 ​​ And He said, It is a light thing that you shouldest be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel (house of Judah): I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles (lost sheep, house of Israel), that you mayest be My salvation (preservation) unto the end of the earth.

Luke 2:32 ​​ A light to lighten the Gentiles (dispersed Nations), and the glory of your people Israel.

​​ 13:48 ​​ And when the Gentiles (Nations) heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Prince: and as many as were ordained (appointed) to eternal life believed (G4100).

Acts 14:1 ​​ And it came to pass in Iconium, that they (Paul and Barnabus) went both together into the synagogue (assembly hall) of the Judaeans, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Judaeans and also of the Greeks believed (G4100).

​​ 14:2 ​​ But the unbelieving (G544- willfully disobedient) Judaeans stirred up the Gentiles (Nations of the dispersed Israelite tribes), and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.

​​ 14:5 ​​ And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles (Nations of the northern house of Israel), and also of the Judaeans (southern house of Judah) with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,

So the Edomite Pharisees and Sadducees agitated the unbelievers of both houses of Israel against the true followers. That is what Jews do, they agitate. They create a problem, then present their solution. It's called the Hegelian dialectic. Most of the tragic events throughout history are agitated and planned out by the Jews. False shootings, wars, medical pandemics, 9/11, the holocaust, everything on TV and the media, entertainment. All of it is propaganda and part of an agenda to enslave us and pull us away from The Belief.

​​ 14:6 ​​ They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

​​ 14:7 ​​ And there they preached the gospel.

​​ 14:8 ​​ And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:

​​ 14:9 ​​ The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith (G4102- belief) to be healed,

​​ 14:10 ​​ Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on your feet. And he leaped and walked.

If the cripple did not have the right belief, he would not have been healed. It matters Who and what we believe.

​​ 14:21 ​​ And when they had preached the gospel to that city (Derbe), and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,

​​ 14:22 ​​ Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith (G4102- The Belief), and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

​​ 14:23 ​​ And when they had ordained (elected) them elders in every church (assembly), and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Master, on whom they believed (G4100).

​​ 14:27 ​​ And when they were come, and had gathered the church (assembly) together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how He had opened the door of faith (G4102- belief) unto the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel).

Acts 15:4 ​​ And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church (assembly), and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

​​ 15:5 ​​ But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed (G4100), saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

These are those Israelite members of the sects that did not understand, or were fooled by the Edomite members.

​​ 15:6 ​​ And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.

​​ 15:7 ​​ And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men, brethren, you know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of the house of Israel) by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe (G4100).

​​ 15:8 ​​ And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did unto us;

​​ 15:9 ​​ And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith (G4102- The Belief). ​​ 

​​ 15:10 ​​ Now therefore why tempt you God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

​​ 15:11 ​​ But we believe (G4100- trust) that through the grace (favor) of the Prince Jesus Christ we shall be saved (preserved), even as they (the fathers). ​​ 

When the gospel is received by our people, they must take hold of it, learn it, and live it. Not 'just believe' it.

Those 'believers' that religiously go to 'church' and worship a fictitious Jew called Jesus will be counted among the goats, because their whole belief system is based on Jewish lies.

A heart cannot be purified with the Judeo faith, or any other faith. Even if they are ignorantly believing a lie.

It has to be The Faith. The Belief.

Acts 16:1 ​​ Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Judahitess, and believed (G4103- were believers); but his father was a Greek:

A Judaean mother and a Greek father had Timothy. In other words a parent from both houses of Israel.

​​ 16:4 ​​ And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.

​​ 16:5 ​​ And so were the churches (assemblies) established in the faith (G4102- The Belief), and increased in number daily. ​​ ​​ 

When the Jews again threw them in prison for teaching The Belief, Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to Elohiym and the prisoners heard them. There was a divine earthquake and the prison doors were opened. When the warden awoke and saw the doors open, and supposed that the prisoners fled, he was about to kill himself.

​​ 16:28 ​​ But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm: for we are all here.

​​ 16:29 ​​ Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

​​ 16:30 ​​ And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved (preserved)? ​​ (Luke 3:10)

​​ 16:31 ​​ And they said, Believe on (G4100) the Prince Jesus Christ, and you shalt be saved (preserved), and your house. ​​ (John 3:16,35, 6:47)

​​ 16:32 ​​ And they spake unto him the word of the Prince, and to all that were in his house.

So they didn't “just believe”. They educated them in the word and what was expected of followers.

​​ 16:34 ​​ And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing (G4100) in God with all his house.

To the unlearned, and to the deceived 'church' goers, these verses seem to tell them to 'just believe'. But what are they believing? And what are they doing, or not doing, as a result of that belief?

Acts 17:1 ​​ Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue (assembly hall) of the Judaeans:

​​ 17:2 ​​ And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

​​ 17:3 ​​ Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.

​​ 17:4 ​​ And some of them believed (G3982- were moved to act), and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

​​ 17:5 ​​ But the Judaeans which believed not (G544- willfully did not), moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. ​​ (Rom 16:21)

​​ 17:10 ​​ And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue (assembly hall) of the Judaeans.

​​ 17:11 ​​ These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

2Timothy 2:15 ​​ Study to shew yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

​​ 17:12 ​​ Therefore many of them believed (G4100); also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

In Athens Paul argues in the assembly hall with the Judaeans and the worshipers, and in the marketplace in the city's well-known Areopagus (Ares Hill, “hill of curses”).

He proclaims Yahweh does not dwell in temples made with hands. Explains about the dispersed nations, and that we are our Fathers children. Repent. Judgment is coming. Some believers join Paul as he departed.

​​ 17:27 ​​ That they should seek the Prince, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us: ​​ (Rom 1:20)

​​ 17:28 ​​ For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring.

​​ 17:29 ​​ Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

The “churches” teach that anyone can become God's offspring, or even spiritual Israel.

The scriptures teach that offspring are literal descendants, literal seed, literally His family.

​​ 17:30 ​​ And the times of this ignorance God winked at (overlooked); but now commandeth all men every where to repent (think differently):

​​ 17:31 ​​ Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man (Christ) whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance (G4102- proof) unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead.

​​ 17:32 ​​ And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter.

​​ 17:33 ​​ So Paul departed from among them.

​​ 17:34 ​​ Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed (G4100): among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. ​​ 

Acts 18:1 ​​ After these things (speech on Ares Hill) Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

​​ 18:4 ​​ And he reasoned in the synagogue (assembly hall) every sabbath, and persuaded (G3982- won over) the Judaeans and the Greeks.

What did he win them over to?

The synagogues back then were teaching the doctrines of the satanic Jews.

Christ never spoke well of the synagogues because they were not teaching His doctrine in them. Just like today's 'churches' are not teaching His doctrine in them either. They were teaching a belief, but not The Belief.

​​ 18:8 ​​ And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed (G4100) on (in) the Prince with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed (G4100), and were baptized (immersed in the word).

​​ 18:27 ​​ And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed (G4100) through grace (favor):

​​ 18:28 ​​ For he mightily convinced the Judaeans, and that publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

Just like today, back then they were also worshiping the Jews and believing in their perverted Judaism.

Acts 19:1 ​​ And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

​​ 19:2 ​​ He said unto them, Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed (G4100)? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Spirit.

​​ 19:3 ​​ And he said unto them, Unto what then were you baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

​​ 19:4 ​​ Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance (a change of mind, compunction), saying unto the people, that they should believe (G4100) on (in) Him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

​​ 19:8 ​​ And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading (G3982- exhorting) the things concerning the kingdom of God.

​​ 19:9 ​​ But when divers (some) were hardened, and believed not (G544- willfully believed not), but spake evil of that way (The Way) before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

​​ 19:10 ​​ And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Prince Jesus, both Judaeans and Greeks. ​​ 

Some vagabond Jews, exorcists, tried proclaiming Christ to adjure demons and were overcome by them.

​​ 19:17 ​​ And this was known to all the Judaeans and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Prince Jesus was magnified.

​​ 19:18 ​​ And many that believed (G4100) came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. ​​ 

But the 'believers' today believe, in false doctrine and a Jewish Jesus.

They don't confess or repent, because the 'law was done away with'. and

And they don't show their deeds, because their 'saved already' and under 'grace', and all they have to do is just 'accept Him' and 'just believe' only.

All the while they are partaking in anti-Christ worship in a pagan temple with the cross of Tammuz atop a steeple sunpillar, on the day of the sungod, giving alms to the state of Israhell, eating swine's flesh, and continuing to live in ignorance as a heathen in their fake delusional lifestyle, going right along with the rest of the ungodly society that knows not Elohiym!

Acts 19:23 ​​ And the same time there arose no small stir about that way (The Way).

​​ 19:24 ​​ For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;

​​ 19:25 ​​ Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, you know that by this craft we have our wealth.

​​ 19:26 ​​ Moreover you see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded (G3982- won over) and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:

​​ 19:27 ​​ So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world (inhabited world) worshippeth.

​​ 19:28 ​​ And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

Sounds like the Judeo-Christians that get offended when we tell them that Jesus is no Jew.

He tells them at Ephesus he is by the Spirit, bound to go to Jerusalem to testify the gospel of the grace (favor) of Yahweh.

That they would not see him again. To always feed the flock which was purchased with blood. The wolves will try to come in. To keep watch and remember the words of the Prince.

Acts 20:21 ​​ Testifying both to the Judaeans, and also to the Greeks, repentance (a change of mind, compunction) toward God, and faith (G4102- The Belief) toward our Prince Jesus Christ.

Acts 21:17 ​​ And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

​​ 21:18 ​​ And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.

​​ 21:19 ​​ And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought (performed) among the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of the house of Israel) by his ministry.

​​ 21:20 ​​ And when they heard it, they glorified the Prince, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Judaeans there are which believe (G4100); and they are all zealous of the law:

Where is the zeal of the law in today's 'believers'?

Paul before Felix

Acts 24:14 ​​ But this I confess unto you, that after the way which they call heresy (a sect), so worship I the God of my fathers, believing (G4100) all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

​​ 24:15 ​​ And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

We, the remnant, who know, keep, and proclaim The Belief, are considered heretics.

​​ 24:24 ​​ And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Judaean, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith (G4102- belief) in Christ.

Paul speaking about his conversion with Yahshua on the way to Damascus.

Acts 26:18 ​​ To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness (remission of the penalty) of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith (G4102- The Belief) that is in Me.

​​ 26:24 ​​ And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, you art beside yourself; much learning doth make you mad.

​​ 26:25 ​​ But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

​​ 26:26 ​​ For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded (G3982) that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

​​ 26:27 ​​ King Agrippa, believest (G4100) you the prophets? I know that you believest (G4100).

​​ 26:28 ​​ Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost you persuadest (G3982- move) me to be a Christian.

Agrippa was the Edomite Jew grandson of the Herod that tried to kill Christ as a baby.

Herod and his people are descendants of devils and demons.

James 2:19 ​​ ... the devils also believe, and tremble.

When Paul was escorted to Rome he dwelled with a soldier that kept him.

Acts 28:23 ​​ And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading (G3982) them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

​​ 28:24 ​​ And some believed (G3982- were persuaded of) the things which were spoken, and some believed not (G569- had no belief). ​​ 

This is years after Christ died and Paul is still teaching out of the Torah and the prophets. This is because this is our history and heritage and the whole Bible is one book about our people. True Anglo-Saxon Israel, and it is The Belief of The Way, The Truth, and The Life.

Romans 1:1 ​​ Paul, a servant of Jesus (Yahshua) Christ, called to be an apostle (ambassador), separated unto the gospel of God (Yahweh),

Paul was separated from the indoctrination of the Jewish Pharisees and was shown the True Belief.

​​ 1:2 ​​ (Which He (Yahweh) had promised afore by His prophets in the holy scriptures,) ​​ 

​​ 1:3 ​​ Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Prince, which was made of the seed of David according to (down through) the flesh; ​​ (Gal 4:4)

​​ 1:4 ​​ And declared to be the (Who has been distinguished as a) Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

​​ 1:5 ​​ By whom we have received grace (favor) ​​ and apostleship (a message), for obedience to the faith (G4102- obedience of belief) among all (the) nations, for (on behalf of) His name:

​​ 1:6 ​​ Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus (Yahshua) Christ:

​​ 1:7 ​​ To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace (favor) to you and peace from God our Father, and the Prince Jesus Christ.

​​ 1:8 ​​ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith (G4102- The Belief of you) is spoken of throughout the whole world (society).

The 'whole world' here is referring to the Adamic world of Jacob/Israel. The known society.

The Belief of you does not mean your belief or your 'churches' belief, rather The Belief is spoken by you to your kinsmen.

​​ 1:9 ​​ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; ​​ 

​​ 1:10 ​​ Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

​​ 1:11 ​​ For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be established;

​​ 1:12 ​​ That is, that I may be comforted (encouraged or summoned) together with you by the mutual faith (G4102- belief) both of you and me.

​​ 1:13 ​​ Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles (dispersed Nations of the northern house of Israel).

​​ 1:14 ​​ I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians (those who did not speak Greek); both to the wise, and to the unwise.

​​ 1:15 ​​ So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

Paul was chosen by Yahweh to bring the gospel to the dispersed Nations of Israel who forgot their heritage.

​​ 1:16 ​​ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation (preservation) to every one that believeth (G4100- entrusts their being to Yahshua); to the Judaean first, and also to the Greek.

The Judaeans were Israelites of the house of Judah. Many of the Greeks were Israelites of the house of Israel.

​​ 1:17 ​​ For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith (G4102- belief) to faith (G4102- belief): as it is written, The just shall live by faith (G4102- belief).

Romans 2:7 ​​ To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

​​ 2:8 ​​ But unto them that are contentious (intrigued by evil), and do not obey (G544- do not believe or are willfully disobedient to) the truth, but obey (G3982- are persuaded to) unrighteousness: indignation and wrath,

​​ 2:9 ​​ Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Judaean first, and also of the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel);

Amos 3:2 ​​ You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

The Judaeans first because they had the law and should have known better, and of the Nations, meaning the dispersed 10 tribes of Israel, because they were children of the covenant as well.

Romans 2:17 ​​ Behold, you art called a Judaean, and rest in the law, and makest Your boast of God,

​​ 2:18 ​​ And knowest His will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

​​ 2:19 ​​ And art confident (G3982- trusting or persuading yourself) that you yourself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

​​ 2:20 ​​ An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.  ​​​​ 

Paul is addressing Israelite Judaeans living in Rome. Many Romans were of the house of Judah.

He is speaking to those that are judging and condemning others and trusting that they are wise leaders. But their knowledge and instruction is only a form of the truth and not The Truth. Just like today's preachers, believing they are serving God and teaching His Word, when they are actually leading everybody into the ditch. Denominational Christianity seems like Christianity because they are reading the words but are not teaching the true Word.

Romans 3:1 ​​ What advantage then hath the Judaean? or what profit is there of circumcision?

​​ 3:2 ​​ Much every (manner of) way: chiefly, because that unto them (the circumcision, the house of Judah) were committed (G4100- entrusted with) the oracles of Yahweh God.

​​ 3:3 ​​ For what if some did not believe (G569)? shall their unbelief (G570- lack of belief) make the faith (G4102- The Belief, or trustworthiness) of God without effect?

​​ 3:4 ​​ God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.

The remnant of the house of Judah that returned to Jerusalem after Babylonian captivity still had the oracles and laws of Yahweh, they should know better.

The faith of God would be useless to the disobedient. If you are not believing in The Belief, the counterfeit belief of God would be useless.

In other words, believing in a Jewish Jesus is a useless belief.

The context in the following verses is referring to the sacrificial rituals, which expired when Christ died. Performing the rituals did not save anyone, it was a temporary atonement. It was there for the purpose of teaching obedience and was a foreshadow of the personal sacrifices we now make, which are performed basically by obeying the two great commandments, love Yahweh and love your kinsmen.

Romans 3:21 ​​ But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

​​ 3:22 ​​ Even the righteousness of God which is by faith (G4102- through belief) of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe (G4100- are believing): for there is no difference:

​​ 3:23 ​​ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ​​ 

​​ 3:24 ​​ Being justified freely by His grace (favor) through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

​​ 3:25 ​​ Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith (G4102- The Belief) in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Only our past sins are forgiven at the stake. We must seek to walk in Christ's example always.

2Peter 1:9 ​​ But he that lacketh these things (knowledge) is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

​​ 3:26 ​​ To declare, I say, at this time His (Yahweh's) righteousness: that He (Yahweh) might be just (is righteous), and the justifier of him which believeth (G4102- out of the belief) in Jesus.

Yahweh is the justifier of the one out of the belief of Yahshua. The belief has to be The Belief.

If your belief is out of some other belief, then you are not justified.

​​ 3:27 ​​ Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works (rituals)? Nay: but by the law of faith (G4102- belief). ​​ 

Ephesians 2:9 ​​ Not of works (rituals), lest any man should boast.

If performing a ritual justifies you, then we don't need Christ.

We can't boast that we followed the law, we are supposed to. We don't boast when we stop at a red light, we are supposed to. We don't boast when we love our brethren, we are supposed to.

​​ 3:28 ​​ Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith (G4102- belief) without the deeds of the law (blood rituals).

​​ 3:29 ​​ Is He the God of the Judaeans only? is He not also of the Nations? Yes, of the Nations also:

​​ 3:30 ​​ Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision (Judaeans) by faith (G4102- belief), and uncircumcision (dispersed) through faith (G4102- The Belief).

Circumcision by belief, because they experienced the giving of the law in the Exodus.

Uncircumcision through The Belief, because they missed out on the giving of the law in the Exodus and must go through the education of it.

​​ 3:31 ​​ Do we then make void the law through faith (G4102- The Belief)? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Faith, or belief, does not void the law, it establishes it.

Romans 4:3 ​​ For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed (G4100- or trusted) God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

Abraham trusted what Yahweh God promised him.

​​ 4:4 ​​ Now to him that worketh (performs rituals) is the reward not reckoned of grace (favor), but of debt.

Because the rituals were the atonement of sin, the debt.

The reward is from favor, not debt.

​​ 4:5 ​​ But to him that worketh not (who is not performing rituals), but believeth (G4100- believes) on Him that justifieth the ungodly (must judge the impious), his faith (G4102- The Belief of him) is counted for righteousness.

​​ 4:6 ​​ Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works (rituals),

​​ 4:7 ​​ Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven (at the cross, stake), and whose sins are covered.

​​ 4:8 ​​ Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh will not impute sin.

​​ 4:9 ​​ Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision (the house of Judah) only, or upon the uncircumcision (dispersed house of Israel) also? for we say that faith (G4102- The Belief) was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

Paul is saying that even before Abraham was circumcised, he had The Belief. Some of his descendants, whom Paul is speaking to, are those uncircumcised Israelites who were not dwelling among the circumcised. He's telling them that they are of the same kindred as the circumcised.

​​ 4:10 ​​ How was it (righteousness) then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

Abraham was uncircumcised when he was going to sacrifice Isaac.

​​ 4:11 ​​ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith (G4102- The Belief) which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe (G4100- the ones believing), though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

Genesis 17:10 ​​ This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your seed after you; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

​​ 4:12 ​​ And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only (those that knew the heritage), but who also walk in the steps of that faith (G4102- The Belief) of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

Paul is stating that Abraham is the father of both the circumcised and uncircumcised. The Judaean and the Greek. The House of Judah, who returned to Judaea after the Babylonian captivity, and the House of Israel, who are the dispersed 10 tribes. All of which are Israelites.

​​ 4:13 ​​ For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law (Torah), but through the righteousness of faith (G4102- belief).

The promise to Abraham was given before the written law. The written law was given at Mt Sinai (430 years later).

​​ 4:14 ​​ For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith (G4102- belief) is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

Because the law causes punishment, for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

​​ 4:15 ​​ Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

​​ 4:16 ​​ Therefore it is of faith (G4102- belief), that it might be by grace (that it be according to favor); to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law (Torah), but to that also which is of the faith (G4102- belief) of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

​​ 4:17 ​​ (As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) before Him whom he believed (G4100), even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

​​ 4:18 ​​ Who against hope (expectation) believed (G4100) in hope (expectation), that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall your seed be.

Hope means expectation. Expectation of what? What is promised when we fulfill our end of the bargain, which is obedience to The Belief.

​​ 4:19 ​​ And being not weak in faith (The Belief), he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: ​​ (Gen 17:17)

​​ 4:20 ​​ He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief (G570); but was strong in faith (G4102- The Belief), giving glory to God;

​​ 4:21 ​​ And being fully persuaded (G4135- assured) that, what He had promised, He was able also to perform.

​​ 4:22 ​​ And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Abraham was not favored by Yahweh because he followed the law (ritual of sacrifice), but because he trusted that what Yahweh said was true. He believed God. He had The Belief.

​​ 4:23 ​​ Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it (righteousness) was imputed to him;

​​ 4:24 ​​ But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe (G4100) on (in) Him that raised up Jesus our Prince from the dead;

​​ 4:25 ​​ Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Romans 5:1 ​​ Therefore being justified by faith (G4102- belief), we have peace with Yahweh God through our Prince Jesus Christ: ​​ 

​​ 5:2 ​​ By whom also we have access by faith (G4102- The Belief) into this grace (favor) wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory (honor) of God.

We must have The Belief to access the favor.

Romans 6:6 ​​ Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

'old man' is a reference to the Levitical priests who performed the sacrifices in Judaea. These ritual blood sacrifices were done away with at the cross, because Christ was the last sacrifice.

It also represents shedding our old ways and serving Him renewed.

When we put away unrighteousness (the old man), we are a 'new man', living by allegiance.

​​ 6:7 ​​ For he that is dead is freed from sin. ​​ 

​​ 6:8 ​​ Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe (G4100) that we shall also live with Him:

​​ 6:9 ​​ Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him.

Romans 9:29 ​​ And as Isaiah said before, Except Yahweh of Sabaoth (armies) had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

Lamentations 3:22 ​​ It is of Yahweh's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.

​​ 9:30 ​​ What shall we say then? That the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel), which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith (G4102- out of belief).

​​ 9:31 ​​ But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

​​ 9:32 ​​ Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith (G4102- belief), but as it were by the works of the law (rituals of the law). For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

​​ 9:33 ​​ As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth (G4100- is believing) on Him shall not be ashamed.

The rituals were a stumbling stone, it created a wrong attitude toward the ritual sacrifices of just going through the motions. As if completing or performing an atoning ritual can save you.

Paul was saying that the blood rituals became insincere, going through the motions of the ritual, but not being in allegiance in the right frame of heart and mind. Yahweh is less interested in the rituals and more interested in your loyalty. That is why “just believing” is also a stumblingstone. It's easy to “just believe”, and harder to perform the acts of allegiance.

Romans 10:1 ​​ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved (preserved).

​​ 10:2 ​​ For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

​​ 10:3 ​​ For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

Verses 2 and 3 describes the churches today. No knowledge, ignorant, and establishing their own path to righteousness, such as claiming their 'saved'.

​​ 10:4 ​​ For Christ is the end (fulfilment) of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth (G4100- is believing).

​​ 10:5 ​​ For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law (Torah), That the man which doeth (practices) those things shall live by them.

​​ 10:6 ​​ But the righteousness which is of faith (G4102- belief) speaketh on this wise, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

​​ 10:7 ​​ Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

​​ 10:8 ​​ But what saith it (Deut 30:14)? The word is nigh you, even in your mouth, and in your heart (that you mayest do it): that is, the word of faith (G4102- The Belief), which we preach (proclaim);

Paul is not telling them to “just believe”, he is preaching allegiance to Yahweh, to The Belief, and reminding them of their heritage.

​​ 10:9 ​​ That if you shalt confess (agree) with your mouth the Prince Jesus, and shalt believe (G4100- be believing) in your heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, you shalt be saved (preserved).

G4100 is a verb. Believing, meaning to continue. If you believe, then your belief is in The Belief and you will follow and perform the duties and commandments that come with The Belief.

​​ 10:10 ​​ For with the heart man believeth (G4100) unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (and with the mouth one agrees in deliverance).

Salvation through repentance, and continued righteousness, which is walking in Christ's example.

​​ 10:11 ​​ For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth (G4100- puts his trust) on (in) Him shall not be ashamed. ​​ (Is 28:16)

​​ 10:12 ​​ For there is no difference between the Judaean and the Greek: for the same Prince over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.

​​ 10:13 ​​ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Prince shall be saved (preserved).

​​ 10:14 ​​ How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed (G4100)? and how shall they believe (G4100- be believing) in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher (proclamation)?

​​ 10:15 ​​ And how shall they preach (proclaim), except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

​​ 10:16 ​​ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah (53:1) saith, Yahweh, who hath believed (G4100) our report?

​​ 10:17 ​​ So then faith (G4102- The Belief) cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Yahweh chooses if you will hear and understand or not.

​​ 10:18 ​​ But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

​​ 10:19 ​​ But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

​​ 10:20 ​​ But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought Me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after Me.

Those 'lost' Israelites were being found or preached to by Paul. Not by them seeking, but by the prophecies that Yahweh will regather His people whom He cast off because of their idolatry and race-mixing. See how Paul did not go preach to the “gentiles', but to the 10 tribes that did not return to their lands after captivity and were without guidance?

​​ 10:21 ​​ But to Israel He saith, All day long I have stretched forth My hands unto a disobedient (G544- willfully disobedient) and gainsaying (back-talking) people. Referring to: Isaiah 65:1-4

Romans 11:16 ​​ For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

Jacob's children and their descendants are the holy seed. Holy means set-apart. The branches here are the descendants of Judah, namely Zarah. Zarah was the twin of Pharez through Tamar. Zarah's descendants left Egypt before the Exodus and settled Troy and later Rome. Hence, the Roman Judahites whom Paul is addressing. These are the wild olives whose branches were broken off. This also includes those of the House of Israel that grew 'wild' as well.

​​ 11:17 ​​ And if some of the branches be broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

Jeremiah 11:16 ​​ Yahweh called your name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult He hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.

Ephesians 2:12 ​​ That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

The captivities and exile were because of disobedience, it was a divorce, Israel was cast off and forgot their heritage. But they were still Israelites. Christ's death reconciled the children of Israel, both near and far.

​​ 11:18 ​​ Boast not against the branches. But if you boast, you bearest not the root, but the root (bears) you. ​​ 

​​ 11:19 ​​ You wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. (?- this is a question)

​​ 11:20 ​​ Well (Correct); because of unbelief (G570- disobedience) they were broken off, and you standest by faith (G4102- The Belief). Be not highminded (proud), but fear (reverent):

​​ 11:21 ​​ For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest He also spare not you.

Paul was telling the Judaeans and the dispersed Nations that they were of the same tree, not to boast because they had the law and the others didn't. They were all of the same lump.

​​ 11:22 ​​ Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness: otherwise you also shalt be cut off.

​​ 11:23 ​​ And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief (G570), shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

Notice the word 'again'. Only something that was once broken off can be grafted back to it's original. Remember, Yahweh's law is kind after kind. Yahweh is against GMO's (genetically modified organisms). ​​ 

Paul is talking about the un-circumcision (those of the 12 tribes who did not experience the exodus and giving of the law and/or those who settled elsewhere after the Assyrian invasion. It was these Israelites who settled Greece, Rome and surrounding areas). ​​ Paul was saying to them, “you guys are of the same olive tree, you just forgot who and Whose you are, abide in Christ's example and return to the family.”

​​ 11:24 ​​ For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

​​ 11:25 ​​ For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel) be come in. ​​ (2 Cor 3:14)

To know the mystery you have to know the history.

​​ 11:26 ​​ And so all Israel shall be saved (preserved): as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: ​​ 

Paul either misquotes Isaiah or he understands that a remnant of each tribe of Israel shall be preserved. Just being an Israelite is not a guarantee. You have to be an Israelite who knows and obeys The Belief.

​​ 11:27 ​​ For this is My covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Jeremiah 31:31 ​​ Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel (uncircumcised, dispersed Nations), and with the house of Judah (circumcised, Judaeans):

Not with 'the church', as the 'churches' teach. Scripture is specific about who.

​​ 11:28 ​​ As concerning the gospel, they are on your account enemies: but as touching (concerning) the election (choice), they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. ​​ (Deut 7:8)

Paul emphasizes that the dispersed, 'lost', and scattered, are Israelites as well, so don't be jealous, they are your brethren.

​​ 11:29 ​​ For the gifts (favor) and calling of God are without repentance (regret).

​​ 11:30 ​​ For as you in times past have not believed (G544- have disobeyed) God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief (G543- disobedience):

Paul told the Roman Judahites that they were disobedient too.

​​ 11:31 ​​ Even so have these also now not believed (G544- have disobeyed), that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

Luke 6:36 ​​ Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

​​ 11:32 ​​ For God hath concluded them all in unbelief (G543- disobedience), that He might have mercy upon all.

Neither houses were righteous. House of Judah (circumcised) and House of Israel (uncircumcised).

Paul, in chapter 12, explains that we are all pieces of the same body, each with different functions.

Romans 12:3 ​​ For I say, through the grace (favor) given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith (G4102- belief).

​​ 12:4 ​​ For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

​​ 12:5 ​​ So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

​​ 12:6 ​​ Having then gifts differing according to the grace (favor) that is given to us, whether (interpretation of) prophecy, let us prophesy (interpret) according to the proportion of faith (G4102- The Belief);
