We now own the domain name and it is no longer affiliated with the Mormon/LDS church in any way, shape, or form ! SHEMA EMET CONGREGATION STATEMENT OF FAITH "THE BIBLE" We believe that the Bible, composed of both the Tanach (the Jewish Scriptures Commonly known as the Old Testament), and the Apostolic Writings of the Brit Chadasha, the New Covenant, also known As the New Testament, is the only infallible and authoritative Word of YHVH. 2 Timothy 3:1517 ; Romans 15:4 ; 2 Peter 1:1921 ; Ephesians 6:17 ; Psalms 12:67 "YHVH IS ECHAD" We believe in the One true Elohim (YHVH) of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob, who reveals Himself to us in His Word and through His Ruach, His Spirit, as Almighty G-d, Loving Father, Beloved Son, Councilor, Provider, Teacher, Healer, Shepherd, Redeemer, Judge, Protector, and many more, yet One YHVH, unified together, as declared in the Shema, "Adonai Echad", "a united One" or "compound unity", eternally existent and omnipresent. (note; Elohim is a plural noun) Deut 6:4 ; Isaiah 48:16/17; Psalms 2:7, 2:12 ; Matt 28:19 ; Luke 3:22 ; John 5:19-23 ; 1 John 2:22-24, 5:7-13 "CREATION" We believe that YHVH created the Heavens and the Earth. That the creation of the world was accomplished in 6 days and Elohim (YHVH) rested on the 7th day, separating it and making it Holy, establishing the Sabbath. Genesis 1:1, 2:3 ; John 1:1-4 ; Colossians 1:16-18 "DEITY" We believe in the Deity of Y'shua Ha Mashiach ( Jesus the Messiah) and that He is the "Seed of the woman" as YHVH promised, and that His virgin birth was to be a sign to Israel of His Messiah- ship. He is YHVH in fleshly form. Genesis 3:15 ; Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7 ; Matt 1:22-23 "MESSIAH Y'SHUA'S LIFE" We believe in Messiah Yshua's life, His miracles yesterday and today. His vicarious and sacrificial death as our atonement, His bodily resurrection, His personal future return for His followers, both living and dead, and His future establishment of His Kingdom on earth. Isaiah 9:6-7, 53:8-11 ; 2 Cor 5:21 ; 1 Cor 11:26 ; Zech 12:6-10, 14:16-21 ; Acts 2:34 ; 1 Tim 6:15 ; Rev 17:14, 20:6 ; John 14-16 ; Matt 1:18-20, 27:35 ; Luke 1:35 "RUACH HA KODESH" When we are born of the Spirit, YHVH breathes His Breath of Life into us. We believe in the present ministry of the gifts of the Ruach Ha Kodesh ( the Spirit of Holiness or Holy Spirit), "the Breath of G-d", by whose indwelling the believer is guided into all truth, empowered, and enabled to live a holy life. .Jer 31:31-34 ; John 14:15-17 ; Gal 5:13-25 "THE RESURRECTION" We believe in the resurrection of both saved and lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to eternal separation from YHVH, the latter being consigned to a state of everlasting punishment. Dan 12:2 ; Matt 25:46 ; Psalms 69:28 ; Rev 20:12-15 "CLEANSED {SAVED} BY GRACE" We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is by grace, through faith in the shed sacrificed blood of Y'shua Ha Mashiach and that regeneration by the Spirit of YHVH is absolutely essential for personal salvation. No one can earn salvation by works or obedience. Gen 15:6 ; Leviticus 17:11 ; Eph 2:8-9 ; Rom 1:17, 5:1-2 : Hab 2:4 ; John 3:3 ; Heb 11:6 "YHVH'S COVENANTS" We believe that the covenants and promises of YHVH are without end. Therefore, no covenant of YHVH has ever been deleted, annulled, or replaced. The commandments of YHVH are still valid and applicable to all believers, and bring joy and freedom to those who obey. Gen 9:12 , 17:7, 17:19 ; Deut 5:32, 7:9 ; John 8:31-32 ; Matt 5:17-18 ; Rom 6:16 ; Isaiah 56:6 ; Jer 32:40 ; Rom 3:31 "YHVH'S APPOINTED HOLY DAYS" We believe in observing YHVH's Holy days, including the weekly Sabbath (Friday evening to Saturday evening), and all His appointed feast days as instructed in the Torah. Gen 9:12, 17:7, 17:19 ; Ex 12:14, 12:17, 31:17-18 ; Lev 23-24:8 "SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF ISRAEL" We believe that the Jews who place their faith in Israel's Messiah Y'shua have not disowned or separated themselves from their race and Judaic heritage, but remain sons and daughters of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel. Gentiles who place their faith in Israel's Messiah Y'shua are also spiritually sons and daughters of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, being grafted into the "Commonwealth of Israel". Rom 11:16-18 & Eph 2:11-19 They are to worship YHVH TOGETHER in Spirit and in Truth. Please note that Gentile believers in Messiah Y'shua do not become Jewish. They do not replace Israel. They are grafted into Israel, becoming "adopted" sons & daughters of Abraham and heirs to the promises and covenants of YHVH. Gal 3:28-29 ; Rom 2:28-29,1; Gen 15:6 ; 1 Cor 12"13 ; Heb 10:25 ; Eph 3:6 , 10-12 ; Acts 10:34 |
