can you hear the callIt amazes me just how much division there is over The Truth. There are reportedly over 41,000 Christian denominations in existence today. Does anyone else think that’s crazy? 41 THOUSAND. WHY??? What baffles me the most is that everyone is reading the same book. Yes there are many different versions of “The Bible” on the market today but for the most part – everyone is reading the same book and yet there are SO many different groups and religions -all of them claiming to have the truth. And it’s not just Christians who have this problem. There are Orthodox Jews, Reformed Jews, Jews for Jesus…. What’s up with that? Every religion is divided.

This is one of the main reasons why I reject religion and embrace teachings that actually follow The Scriptures. In my personal study I’ve come to recognize there is no need for all these religions. Religion is man made. It’s a facade; Rituals and doctrines that make us feel better about ourselves. If we would simply take the time to study and understand that there is unity in the scriptures – from Genesis to Revelation – Our lives would be more meaningful and the world would be a better place.

For all those who love their religion, I ask you to take some time to ask yourself questions about the basics.  We claim to have a relationship with our Creator, and we say He is our friend, but why don’t we call Him by His name? A person’s name is the first thing we learn about them when we want to connect in real life. Is there anyone in your life that you have a meaningful relationship with, and you still don’t know their name?

I shared the thoughts below with a few friends on Facebook the other day. There’s an interesting parallel between the two following verses and WHO spoke them, and when….

“If you love me, keep MY commandments.” John 14:15
“And showing mercy to thousands of them who love me, and keep MY commandments.” Exodus 20:6

Notice the connection? The first verse is from what many call The New Testament. We see love, we see commandments, and we see the person speaking saying that they are “MY commandments”. The second verse is from what many call The Old Testament. We see love, we see commandments, and again we see the person speaking saying that they are “MY commandments”. WHO is that person? Do we really know Him?

“There is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy…” James 4:12

Think about that for a minute.

There is one Lawgiver and that same Lawgiver is able to save you. Who is your Saviour? Do you really know who He is?

There is unity in the scriptures. We HAVE to study the beginning of the book before we can even BEGIN to understand the ending. Over time we’ll explore more of these ideas together but for now, let’s get to the music. I wrote the song in the video below at the end of April 2014. The Lyrics are based on the verses that surround Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Yashra’al: Yahuah our Alahiym, Yahuah is one!” You can read the whole passage below, but I do encourage you to spend time in the scriptures on your own.

Click & Read Deuteronomy 6:1-9

“And this is the command, the laws and the right-rulings which Yahuah your Alahiym has commanded, to teach you to do in the land which you are passing over to posses, so that you fear Yahuah your Alahiym, to guard all His laws and His commands which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days be prolonged. And you shall hear, O Yashra’al, and shall guard to do, that it might be well with you, and that you increase greatly as Yahuah Alahiym of your fathers has spoken to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey. Hear, O Yashra’al: Yahuah our Alahiym, Yahuah is one! And you shall love Yahuah your Alahiym with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might. And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart, and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up, and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates….” Deuteronomy/Debarim 6:1-9

I pray you enjoy listening to the music in the video below. I hope it inspires to you study more scriptures and leads you to draw closer to Yahuah. Your religion can’t save you. Your family can’t save you. Your preachers and your teachers can’t save you either. Come and meet the Lawgiver of Love.
