Created in the Image of the Creator

ELOHIYM is the transliteration of the Hebrew word that is usually translated “God” by translators. But, since “God” can mean different things to different readers -- YAHWEH, Jesus or Allah (these clearly are not simply different names for the same entity) -- I decided to use ELOHIYM instead.

Who is ELOHIYM? Everything we know about Him in the context of the account is recorded in the twenty-five verses that preceded the above quote. ELOHIYM is the creator and maker of: light, a solid dome structure, dry ground, seas, plants, trees, water creatures, flying creatures, and animals. He names things and determines their functions. ELOHIYM measures all of His work by the TOV Standard.

In order to understand who we are – we must first understand who He is. Chances are that the answer isn’t the one you might be expecting. Read the complete article at -- http://www.biblicalheritage.org/DTB/0513DTB_Image_of_The_Creator.pdf

The place of stoning was at a distance from the court, as it is said, ‘Take out the one who has cursed.’ [i] A man stands at the entrance of the court; in his hand is a signaling flag [Hebrew sudarin = sudar , ‘scarf, sweater’]. A horseman was stationed far away but within sight of him. If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...

Remember the Power of TZEDAQAH and Returning!

TZEDAQAH is the outstanding, overriding, and yet simple, theme of Jesus. This means one thing to people who view Jesus through a “Religion Box.” It means something very different to people who view Jesus through the “Alliance and Covenant of the Creator of the Skies and the Earth” box!

Jesus Did Not Create a Religion

This a difficult concept for many American Christians to grasp. However, in order to understand the movement Jesus led, we must think about the things that he did. His parents took him to the Temple in Jerusalem every Passover because he was circumcised and named when he was eight days old. That day he became a son of the covenant Yahweh made with Abraham and his descendants. If that hadn’t been done, he would not have been allowed to enter specific areas of the Temple.
