Faith of our Fathers
WE BELIEVE
- We believe in the Eternal existence of G-d who is the Supreme, the Infinite, the Mighty, the Merciful, the Compassionate, the Creator by His Word everything came into immediate existence, the Healer, the Provider, the All-powerful, the All-knowing, above all, and ever-present. G-d is the Loving and the Generous and the Benevolent, the Rich, the Forgiving and the Clement, the Patient, and the Appreciative, the Unique and the Protector, the Judge and the Peace.
- We believe and affirm the Oneness of G-d. G-d is One and there is no other oneness like His.
- We believe in worship to the only true G-d. He is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service. To worship G-d is to live life in obedience according to His commandments, statutes, and judgments, to know Him, to love Him, to glorify Him, and to make known His greatness.
- We believe in the revelation of prophecy, whereby G-d shares divine wisdom with His chosen Messengers and Prophets. These divinely appointed guides are the interpreters of G-d’s Torah, ensuring that their original writings remain pure and untainted by falsehoods or distortions. Each word and thought in these sacred texts originates from the unadulterated essence of the Torah. Through their teachings, they unveil the lies and hypocrisy perpetuated by ignorance and indifference, which attempt to falsify and obscure the Divine Word. G-d’s commitment to revealing further truths endures through the manifestation of the Spirit of Prophecy, known as the Bat-Kol, the Divine Voice that continues to enlighten and guide us on our spiritual journey.
- We believe in the gift of Prophecy, a divine endowment bestowing guidance, instruction, and correction. In the last days, the emergence of the Levitical Prince, the final messenger, signals the return of the Spirit of G-d to the Priesthood and the renewal of the Spirit of Prophecy. The arrival of this divinely guided Prince ignites the transformative movement of the Last Divine Proclamation, paving the way for King Messiah and ushering in the era of Tikkun Olam, the healing of the world. This sacred process provides divine guidance and instruction, fostering the betterment of all nations and inspiring hope for a brighter, more harmonious future.
- We believe in the immutability and completeness of the original writings of the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings, as G-d’s Law of Instructions to our wellbeing; we also believe that the current translation of the Sacred Scriptures is the Word of G-d, as far as it is translated correctly. It is vital and our duty to know the original languages of the Sacred Scriptures. We affirm that as a prophet wrote the Sacred Scriptures under Divine Inspiration, then a prophet will most accurately interpret it by the direction of the Spirit of the Holy One, blessed be He.
- We believe Moses was the greatest of the prophets. He was granted all areas of knowledge, understanding, and prophecy and his physical attributes did not diminish. Moses is our Teacher, peace be upon him.
- We believe in G-d’s Divine Law given on Mount Sinai in ancient Midian now known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
- We believe G-d knows the thoughts and deeds of men. We are called to think, feel, and act in harmony with His commandments. The highest evidence of nobility is self-control. We are to live a life with the highest standard of ethics and values, in simplicity and modesty, in exercise and rest, in purity and the most healthful diet, abstaining from unclean foods & unclean substances, all alcoholic beverages, strong drinks, tobacco, drugs, pharmaceutical drugs & any injections that derive from unclean substances, narcotics, coffee, caffeine tea, chocolate, and any other unnatural elements that are harmful to our bodies. We are to seek true health reform according to the natural laws of nature through the laws of Purification with joy, goodness, righteousness, and pure thoughts to achieve healthy bodies.
- We believe in the Day of Divine Judgment. All men and women of all time will face the Day of Judgment without exception. Our lives are recorded and everything we do, say, make, intend, and think are accounted for and kept in accurate records. We are to live a life of righteousness and instruct others to do the same.
- We believe in the coming of His Most Excellent Majesty King Messiah ben-David. The coming of King Messiah is our blessed hope.
- We believe that the nature of death is not fiery annihilation; Death is only a temporary state of unconsciousness “sleep.” The “dead know nothing.” The body returns to dust and the spark of life returns to G-d.
- We believe in the resurrection of the dead. The resurrection is the restoration of life in the body and the spark of life becoming a living soul. The blessed hope of the resurrection is solid evidence to encourage us that we can have a better future beyond the present conditions of this world.
- We believe in the non-immortality of the wicked.
- We believe in the covenants of our ancestors established by our Creator of the Universe. We affirm:
- a) The covenant of Shabbat, Festivals, and new moons (Rosh Chodesh) indicated by the first sliver and two witnesses;
- b) Patriarch Adam, the covenant of herbs, fruits, and kingdom dominion;
- c) Patriarch Noah, the covenant of preservation & protection of the life of man and animals from any form of cruelty.
- d) King of Righteousness, Melchizedek, the covenant meal of unleavened bread and fresh grape juice (Kiddush);
- e) Patriarch Abraham, the covenant of circumcision (Brit-Milah);
- f) Prophet Moses, the covenant of salt and the Ten Commandments (Aseret ha-Dibrot) with expansion to 613 commandments of the Law (Torah) containing instructions of healing;
- g) High Priest Aaron, the covenant of preservation of the Royal Priesthood, and the laws of purification.
- h) King David, the covenant of preservation of the throne of the House of David forever.
- i) The Ark of the Covenant (Aron HaBrit) is the physical evidence containing the tablets of the Ten Commandments, and the Vessel of Manna, which is the Vessel of Purification, dictates the perpetual Covenants of our ancestors illustrating the signs of the everlasting Covenants of the holy royal priesthood kingdom of Judges, Prophets, Physician, and Educators of healing.
- We believe the Stone-Vessel of Purification is over 3300 years ago, was painted by Moses, and was used by Aaron. This remarkable artifact has preserved the memory of the sacred Name of the Messiah and our prophet Moses through Divine intervention. Moreover, it features a geographical map of Mount Sinai and Horeb, illustrating their significance in our faith. We affirm that the Stone-Vessel of Purification symbolizes the crown, sword, scepter, and throne of the House of David, as well as the breastplate of the Priesthood, showcasing its invaluable role in our spiritual heritage.
