Excellent questions, Walt. Why indeed? My answer would be brainwashing. We were told from day one when we were Christians that the books and letters of "The New Testament" are Scripture. Naturally, since we believed the historical writings of Luke and Mark to be the Word of God, we accepted their works as being the same as eyewitness accounts. Such belief is illogical and dead wrong, but those characteristics never stopped a good Christian.

Alrighty then...so you folks don't accept the New Covenant or Jesus Christ....is that it???

Sorry...either God is incapable of controlling what is canonized as being His written Word...or you folks are bad wrong by rejecting portions of God's Word.

So, having said that and considering you reject the Apostle Paul and claim he is of the devil (this claim says God is incapable of controlling what is canonized as being His written Word...this is in fact a satanic accusation against God Himself!) I won't be reading anything by Yada as he is in fact a false teacher sowing discord among the brethren.

However, I do agree with his position concerning islam being bent on violence because of the mainstream teachings of islam itself...which is actually a no brainer....I knew that by the Holy Ghost without doing very much research at all because it's obvious..

It’s not as black and white as that.
First there is no New Covenant. There is a Renewal of the Covenant coming up, but there is only one covenant.
If God were to change and create a New covenant, then he would not be reliable. There can be no New Covenant, Yahowah has but one Covenant, and like Him it is unchanging.
Yah said His Covenant was for all time, so if he were to do away with it, and create a New one he would be liar and thus untrustworthy.
And if you read Jeremiah 23, the only place it is spoken of, you will see that the only difference between now and the renewal of the covenant, is that the Towrah will be written on our hearts. So nothing changes.

Boy is this circular reasoning at its finest.
Who canonized the bible?? Do you know? It wasn’t God, it was men. God never canonized anything. If you look at what God as Yahowsha said was Scripture, then it is the Tanakh, not anything in the “New Testament” which wasn’t written at the time of His life on Earth.
Yahowah however did give us a way to determine if something someone claims comes from Him acctully does, it’s found in Deuteronomy in the 18th chapter. That is the criteria I use to determine what is Scripture.

In QP we put the Paul to the Deuteronomy 18 test, and found Him failing.
If you were to take the time to view the evidence presented there you might realize that it is in fact Paul whop was the false teacher.
If you have no interest in reading the evidence, then leave, we don’t want you around because you have no interest in understanding.

In His Name, that Psalm is beautiful and full of light. It in a way ends just as your last words to KMR end, "wake up." Making understanding simple for the open minded!

KMR, when you have the time, look at this You Tube vid.

Christians consider the account attributed to Mark to be accurate because he was reported to have traveled with Paul and to have been tutored by Kepha. Personally, I do not accept Mark's report as completely reliable because certain parts of it smack of silly religiosity and carnival-like showmanship ("They shall take up serpents!"). Moreover, since he actually did at least one "missionary journey" with the wolf of Benyamin, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. Christians might accept his writings as scripture, but wise men do not.
