Teaching Truth

First, I would like to greet all the readers. Blessings to you in the Name of YaHVaH, the Father, Yahoshua, the Son, and Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit. May their peace always reign in your life.

In Jn. 18:38, Pilate asks Yahoshua, “What is truth?” KJV. How would you answer this question? I answer, “The Word of YaHVaH!”

Now to all of us that know, we should always speak and teach the truth. I did enjoy Sister Hileman’s article, “Why is the Pronounciation [sic] of the Sacred Name Important?” (Believer’s Advocate, May/June 2004). I praise her for continuing to be “Bold” in upholding YaHVaH’s truths. Unlike my wonderful sister though, I do have scholarship from the learning institutions, yet I defer to her greater knowledge. The greatest scholarship is from the teaching of the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy spirit, which comes from our Father, YaHVaH, and from YaHVaH’s already written Word. Our dear Sister Hileman, Brother Meyer, and I rely on this guidance of the Ruach HaKodesh for teachings and writings.

I bring this all up to show that anyone can utilize their time “learning” from these institutions to actually teach them of the truth. I express my faith and YaHVaH’s truths whenever I can. As an example, in one class, Public Speaking, I spent most of the class speaking on the need to learn Hebrew, learn the true Name, YaHVaH, and using the Name. The teacher was awe-struck, praise be to YaHVaH. I have challenged many of my teachers on certain issues to the point they have actually learned from my insight given by YaHVaH. It may be only a small step, but if all expressed their faith to their teachers, we may impact their teachings to be less secular.

Brother Meyer also hit home with me about “wannabes” in our youth, also in the publication mentioned above. In my youth, I purposed to be a life saver. What I wanted was to save people from the damage done to their bodies because of accidents, catastrophes, and the like. I took up this banner in my life when I joined the USAF Auxiliary doing Search & Rescue. Then I became a Volunteer Fireman and earned my basic EMT. When I moved to Houston, I went to work for Private Ambulance Services, Hospital Emergency Rooms, and the Fire Department. I also earned my Special Skills/Intermediate (Paramedic Level 1). The actual reality was different from my utopia ideas, as I saw the abuse of people by both the patients to their caretakers and some caretakers to their patients. I still enjoyed it, or so I thought.

All that time, YaHVaH had plans for me to be a life saver of a different kind. I ran from the first call in the 1980s, but praise YaHVaH, I responded to His second call. Now I can save lives eternally by preaching and teaching His truths, first and foremost that Yahoshua died for their sins to save them and reconcile them to the Father. Then I can expound on the other truths in His Word.

Here are some words of wisdom from Yahoshua, son of Sirach in the Book of Ecclesiasticus (also known as the Book of Sirach), KJV Apocrypha:

“And refrain not to speak, when there is occasion to do good, and hide not thy wisdom in her beauty. For by speech wisdom shall be known: and learning by the word of the tongue. In no wise speak against the truth: but be abashed of the error of thine ignorance”  4:23-25.

“Strive for the truth unto death, and [YaHVaH] shall fight for thee” 4:28.

“”And above all this pray to the most High, that He will direct thy way in truth” 37:15.

Yes my fellow believers, be BOLD as Sister Hileman for the truths of YaHVaH. Do not let your current situation or obstacles dissuade you otherwise. Teach them wherever you are, teach them to your “teachers,” teach them to your family, and teach them to your friends; but most of all teach them to the unbelievers, so they may know and choose the right path.

My only caution to you is from the words of James 4:6, “. . . Wherefore it (he) saith, YaHVaH against the haughty (proud) arrayeth Himself, whereas unto the lowly (humble) He giveth favour (grace)” ROSNV; words in parentheses () from KJV. So teach boldly, but in humbleness to YaHVaH.
