Is your religion true?

How do you know your religion is true?
________________________________

Everyone is given a measure of faith (Rom.12:3) and your faith is your reality. Biblically, "Religion" is basically your faith put into action (faith without works is dead). We are told you shall know them by their fruits (good or bad) and that G-d perfers you be either hot or cold rather than lukewarm. Are your works pleasing to G-d, afterall that is why you were created (Rev.4:11).

Jas.1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

"Religion" in & of its self can be either good or bad. Mankind has come to demonise "religion" but in fact its MAN MADE "religion" that is the problem. Fact is your "religion" is simpley a Reflection of You (in your relationship with G-d). The Spirit is liked unto the wind throughout the Word. You cant see the wind yet you can see its effects (like we are to be known by our fruits). That which is unseen yet exsists and observed by its fruits (effects). Such things are Spirit(ual): Faith. Heb.11:1, Intelect, Humbleness, envy, depression, Love, hate,...

So how do you know your religion is true. Simpley cause its you (in your relationship with G-d) at any given time. Thats not to say that some peoples religion isnt in vainity (Jas.1:26) cause fact is thats is where some are. I personally dont look to agree with no man on all things all the time. (If that were the situtation one of us would be following the other). Nor do i exspect anyone else to always be in the same stage of their walk as I am in mine. Its when two or more agree In TRUTH that G-d is in the midst of them. Fellowship (in spirit and in truth) is a true blessing! All the members that make up the body of Christ know that comfort! (Christ is the good shepherd who is worthy to be followed.)

We are not to boast of our own actions. Its The Almighty 1 who is righteous and "good" (and his divine judgement/authority is seen in the works He does through His people). His Word is the truth, the light and the way. I am not "perfect" (good). The best a man can be is an instrument of G-d. A temple of the Holy Spirit. We all have need of G-d for it is only in him that we are complete. Its only by His Grace (righteousness) in connection with our faith that we can be justified

The Faith has always been about a (postive) ONGOING Relationship with G-D. "Now faith is the *substance of things *hoped for, the *evidence of things *not *seen." He has laid before us the ways of life/ vs. / death, Blessing /vs./ Curses, for we have all partaken of the knowledge of both Good/ &/ evil. So we need to put forth our hand and partake of the tree of LIFE to live eutnal. Life is in the blood and atonement is of the blood. The Life (blood) of Yeshua (Jesus) was sinless (fulfilled Torah) and that is the "tree of Life". A relationship takes two. How is yours with G-D? (That is your religion) Christ did his part! (blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD) question is are you doing your part in that you embrace G-d (put Him First/ Die of SELF) and reflect His righteousness in your actions. Those Born again are drawn unto good works. Your works cant save you but they do identify you weather you are in covenant or no. Going around claiming denominations, churches, theologys, and so on doesnt amount to a hill of beans.

Many shall say in that day Lord, Lord have we not........ and he shall say unto them depart from me ye works of iniquity i never knew you. But unto his he shall say "Good job true and faithful servant"!
So what road are we own?
How can you be useful to G-d today?

Peace to those who embrace it

Hypostasis

Hypostasis

NOTES Hypostasis Person Godhead

Hypostasis (philosophy)

 I prefer not to use the terminology "persons" when describing the Godhead because the general definition includes the context of being human./In This Context/ To say God is 3 physical (human) beings would be silly, cause confusion and be unbiblical. As obvious as it sounds, that God is not three physical /human/ beings, many outsiders dont need Any confusion on the subject. It would require us doing what i am doing here. Stressing the context of "person" in a biblical context when it is used to describe God.
When one says God is "3 persons" That gives the impression that there are 3 seperate enities (polythiesim), or 3 characters (personalities). When we are told how the Father and son are One we speak of One essense (Not 3 personalities/1). Does God have different atributes? Yes and all his attributes complete the One essence that is GOD. Personality : relates back to person in every way and stresses individual difference. Nothing about saying God is 3 anything points to the fact that Christ said The LORD is one when he listed the greatest commandment. "Trinity" isnt a biblical term yet the relation of The Father , Son , and Holy Spirit is biblical. I know some embrace the terminology "trinity" in a context that is Monotheistic rather than three gods yet its not a term i use, cause so many misrepresent the Godhead with this term and there are many doctrines under this title. The orgins of the use of this terminology come from Roman/Greek theology of denominations that pervert the truth of GOD.
Lets document the context of the relation of Father and Son in:
KJV Heb.1:1-3
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
The Greek hypostasis (ὑπόστᾰσις)/ #5287 hupostasis (hoop-os'-tas-is)
From a compound of G5259 and G2476; a setting under (support), that is, (figuratively) concretely essence, or abstractly assurance (objectively or subjectively): - confidence, confident, person, substance.

The term has also been used and is still used in modern Greek (not just Koine Greek or common ancient Greek) to mean "existence" along with the Greek word hýparxis (ὕπαρξις) and tropos hypárxeos (τρόπος ὑπάρξεως), which is individual existence. "In the ecumenical councils the terminology was clarified and standardized, so that the formula "Three Hypostases in one Ousia" came to be accepted as an epitome of the orthodox doctrine of the Holy Trinity, that The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit are three distinct 'hypostases' in one God"
"Three Hypostases in one Ousia"??? Documentation would be nice Where does the bible ever say 3 Hypostases??? Thats Not what Hebrews 1 said. It said the Son came in His (YHVH's) hupostasis. Not two Hypostases came in one Ousia. (anyone thinking I need to look at 1 Jn.5:7 please do the same and learn what crept into the text in the 16th century in that passage compared to what the greek manuscripts read. Lets even look at the modern sources with the 16th century Transliteration of 1 Jn.5! Does this say 3 Hypostases? NO)
What about Is.48:12,13,16,17? The LORD God of Israel is speaking and calls for attention (Shama) twice. Then he goes on to say "and now the LORD God, and his Spirit hath sent me" Do you see "Three Hypostases" here or do you see ONE? Is my intelect seperate from me? NO
3 personalities would even be differ than saying God is three persons, yet i dont think God has split personalities. Relations yes but personalities or persons No. Personality : relates back to person in every way and stresses individual difference. Nothing about saying God is 3 anything points to the fact that Christ said The LORD is one when he listed the greatest command of all. Trinity isnt a biblical term yet the relation of The Father , Son , and Holy Spirit is biblical. I know many embrace the terminology "trinity" in a context that is Monotheistic rather than three gods yet its not a term i use, cause so many misrepresent the Godhead with this term.

Christianity is MONOTHEISTIC
Suggested Material:

Father (Avinu), Son(Ben), Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) are Echad (a unified one) IN ONE ESSENCE! This is true for the Tanach and the NT so terms like trinity and 3 persons only causes confussion.
