This is a non-WLC article. When using resources from outside authors, we only publish the content that is 100% in harmony with the Bible and WLC current biblical beliefs. So such articles can be treated as if coming directly from WLC. We have been greatly blessed by the ministry of many servants of Yahuwah. But we do not advise our members to explore other works by these authors. Such works, we have excluded from publications because they contain errors. Sadly, we have yet to find a ministry that is error-free. If you are shocked by some non-WLC published content [articles/episodes], keep in mind Proverbs 4:18. Our understanding of His truth is evolving, as more light is shed on our pathway. We cherish truth more than life, and seek it wherever it may be found. |
If Yahushua is NOT Yahuwah and Christians go on saying that he is, then something very profound is lost in theology. To say that Yahuwah died on the cross is to miss the suffering love the Father had for his tortured Son agonizing on the cross. It would have been easier for Yahuwah to offer himself than his only Son, Yahushua.
I believe the story of Abraham and Isaac is in the Bible for a reason. Yahuwah wanted to test Abraham to see if his faith was strong enough to obey him, even if it meant giving up his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. The story reveals the anguish of a dedicated father who is choosing between his son and Yahuwah. It was a hard choice. Abraham was not asked to sacrifice himself! His choice would be more problematic than self-sacrifice! Yahuwah never intended to let Abraham go through with it. It was a test of love as well as of faith. At the last moment, Yahuwah provided a ram for sacrifice in place of Abraham’s son. Abraham was to call that place on Mount Moriah “YAHUWAH WILL PROVIDE.”
So, Abraham called the name of the place “Yahuwah will provide” as it is said to this day, “On the Mount of Yahuwah it shall be provided” (Gen 22:14)
What Yahuwah did not require of Abraham, he would fulfill in the same place at a later time in history, to show his love for the world by giving up his beloved Son, Yahushua, to die on the cross for the salvation of a sinful world: “In this the love of Yahuwah was made manifest among us, that Yahuwah sent his only son into the world” (1 Jn 4:9). Rather than Yahuwah giving up himself to death, the heavenly Father gave up his Son to die on the cross. Yahuwah required more of himself than he required of Abraham.

We have taken out from the original article all pagan names and titles of the Father and Son, and have replaced them with the original given names. Furthermore, we have restored in the Scriptures quoted the names of the Father and Son, as they were originally written by the inspired authors of the Bible. -WLC Team
