Foundational Pillars of my Faith, the Journey Begins

Introduction: My New Assignment Concerning My Faith

I have been assigned a task by the Ruach Ha’Qodesh! This task requires me to embark on a deep, per­son­al jour­ney of faith. While pray­ing, I real­ized that the foun­da­tions of my faith were not as sol­id as I had thought. Fur­ther­more, most of my beliefs were inher­it­ed from my child­hood, shaped by oth­ers rather than my own expe­ri­ences. There­fore, I’m thrilled to share this inti­mate and per­son­al jour­ney with you as I explore the foun­da­tion­al pil­lars of my faith.

New Creation, New Understanding

My jour­ney is a thrilling adven­ture with Ruach Ha’Qodesh (Moth­er) reveal­ing new and excit­ing insights to me dai­ly. Since I am a new cre­ation in Yashua, my soul and spir­it can be trans­formed. This result­ing trans­for­ma­tion has brought me new wis­dom and under­stand­ing. Con­se­quent­ly, Moth­er instruct­ed me to revis­it the scrip­tures in light of my recent expe­ri­ences. This path of dis­cov­ery tru­ly excites me! More­over, Father expects us to be able to reit­er­ate what we believe, why we believe it, and where these beliefs came from. There­fore, He expects me to be famil­iar with the foun­da­tion­al pil­lars of my faith.

Where to Start Finding the Pillars of My Faith

I asked Father where I should begin to estab­lish the pil­lars of my faith.  Moth­er whis­pered 1 Peter.  This was very inter­est­ing to me, as I was in the mid­dle of design­ing a Bible study based on the life of Peter.  I had shelved this project for a sea­son.  It may be time to revis­it the shelved Peter Project.  Kepha (Peter) has always held a spe­cial place in my heart.  If I had been a boy, my name would have been Peter.

My Intentions

To begin, I intend to sum­ma­rize what I read, high­light­ing what I learned.  Please don’t mis­take my inter­pre­ta­tion as absolute truth. I am sim­ply show­ing you what I’ve learned.  You should ask the Holy Spir­it (Ruach Ha’Qodesh) for wis­dom and truth.  Let her teach you and help you learn.  “But the anoint­ing you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any­one should teach you. But as his anoint­ing teach­es you about every­thing and is true and is no lie, just as it has taught you, abide in him. “1 John 2:27

Side Note on The Ruach Ha’Qodesh

I just want­ed to share with you why I call the Holy Spir­it’ Moth­er’.  All ren­der­ings of the Holy Spir­it in the Hebrew scrip­tures are fem­i­nine.  I recent­ly learned that when Jerome trans­lat­ed the Vul­gate around 500 AD, He trans­lat­ed it from Greek.  In Greek, the word for wind and Breath is neu­tral. This gen­dered trans­la­tion impacts our under­stand­ing of the Holy Spir­it. So, they trans­lat­ed all the “she” and “her” into a neuter form.  Then, tak­ing the neuter form of the word for wind and breath from Greek, Jerome trans­lat­ed it into the Latin word for wind and breath, into a mas­cu­line form. 

Word Integrity Unimportant to Jerome

Now Jerome knew this, and he said it didn’t mat­ter cuz he believed there is no male or female in the spir­it.  Yet when the spir­it was referred to as the Spir­it of Truth or the Spir­it of Wis­dom, she and her are always used.  Hmm­mm; Makes me won­der why Jerome didn’t think it would mat­ter to main­tain the fem­i­nin­i­ty of The Ruach Ha’Qodesh, but did main­tain the fem­i­nin­i­ty of the Spir­it of Wis­dom and Faith. 

What is going on here?

The ques­tion is why? Nat­u­ral­ly, it makes sense to me that we have a moth­er, a father, and a big broth­er. Fur­ther­more, since we are cre­at­ed in their image, it log­i­cal­ly fol­lows that earth­ly fam­i­lies would resem­ble the heav­en­ly one. Indeed, time and time again we see this divine pat­tern repeat­ed — first the orig­i­nal estab­lished in Heav­en, then reflect­ed here on the earth plane.

The pat­tern con­tin­ues here on earth. Every­thing the Word cre­at­ed has been dis­tort­ed and per­vert­ed by the ser­pent of old. Specif­i­cal­ly, the ser­pent wants us to be con­fused about famil­ial rela­tion­ships and their bound­aries. Con­se­quent­ly, the ser­pent con­tin­u­al­ly hides ancient doc­u­ments or deems them false, caus­ing humans to believe false­hoods about who we are and how we fit into this world. One of these decep­tions por­trays Moth­er as some­one oth­er than our nur­tur­ing and help­ing Moth­er. Because of Father’s pro­tec­tive nature, He com­mands us to nev­er blas­pheme her!

This divine pro­tec­tion mir­rors earth­ly rela­tion­ships. Here on earth, it is nor­mal for a human father to say, “Say what you like about me or my son, but keep your mouth shut when it comes to my woman.” Sim­i­lar­ly, this is pre­cise­ly why we are not to blas­pheme Moth­er — Father is being pro­tec­tive of her. Mean­while, the old evil ser­pent works hard to dis­tort our under­stand­ing of who the Holy Spir­it is. Once again, we see humans mir­ror­ing Father and his val­ues, even if they don’t ful­ly real­ize it. I encour­age you to con­sid­er these con­cepts and seek guid­ance from the Holy Spir­it to dis­cern the truth for your­self.

Feminine Characteristics

Here is a fact, all the ref­er­ences to the char­ac­ter of the Holy Spir­it dis­play fem­i­nine qualities.The first qual­i­ty is relat­ed to being a helper. Just as Father gave us the Holy Spir­it as a helper, Eve was tak­en out of Adam and giv­en to him as a helper.  The Holy Spir­it nur­tures us and reminds us to walk in obe­di­ence. My role as a moth­er was to nur­ture my chil­dren and teach them to obey.  The sim­i­lar­i­ties are end­less. 

Childhood Thoughts and My Faith

Even as a lit­tle girl, it seemed right that I had a heav­en­ly Father, a heav­en­ly Moth­er, and Big Broth­er Jesus. Who saved all his sib­lings from Hell­fire and eter­nal sep­a­ra­tion from our amaz­ing Fam­i­ly out­side of time and space. This pro­grammed knowl­edge is deep with­in my soul.

The Choice is Yours

Big broth­er sac­ri­ficed His life just for us! We have been giv­en the incred­i­ble pow­er of free will to decide whether we will accept this pre­cious gift of sal­va­tion. Moth­er is there every step of the way to help us make wise choic­es full of truth if we let her.  With­out her, we wouldn’t have enough clar­i­ty to choose the nar­row way of life. I am always open to lov­ing dis­cus­sions. If you have any ques­tions, please don’t hes­i­tate to send me a mes­sage.

The First of many Foundational Pillars of my Faith

Based on my guid­ed research I can now say that the Ruach Ha’Qodesh, the Holy Spir­it being “Moth­er”, is one of the pil­lars of my faith.  I am grate­ful for the avail­able infor­ma­tion that enables me to research and uncov­er the truth. I am thank­ful to Moth­er for her help. Her assis­tance helped me grow in my faith. Her guid­ance led me to truth and wis­dom.

Now, Back to Kepha Chap­ter 1

Father chose us based on His fore­knowl­edge. The Ruach Ha’Qodesh push­es us towards sanc­ti­fi­ca­tion. She does this by help­ing us walk in obe­di­ence to Adon­ai Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, and embrac­ing the cov­er­ing or aton­ing of His shed blood.

Blessings, Glory, and Honor

I love how they often begin their let­ters with this beau­ti­ful bless­ing.  Bless­ings to Elo­hiym (Father) of Adon­ai Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, who is mer­ci­ful and hope-giv­ing. This is only pos­si­ble because of the res­ur­rec­tion of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach.  We, as a result, gain an extra­or­di­nary inher­i­tance that will not become cor­rupt­ed or defiled.  Our inher­i­tance will nev­er fade away. Every­thing in the earth­ly realm will with­er.  Father pro­tects our inher­i­tance

Elohiym’s Great power keeps us safe and offers us salvation through faith.

The tri­als we expe­ri­ence have many sur­pris­ing ben­e­fits. In fact, Father has instruct­ed us in scrip­ture to rejoice when we expe­ri­ence tri­als of our faith. Although these tri­als may some­times be full of temp­ta­tions, if we over­come them, we are told that the result­ing effects will be more pre­cious than gold! More­over, this sweet vic­to­ry will bring praise and hon­or to Father. Addi­tion­al­ly, the tri­als will deep­en our faith and demon­strate how much we are loved, ulti­mate­ly result­ing in stronger faith. Final­ly, when we resist and pre­vail over our tri­als, we will gain unspeak­able joy, glo­ry, and sal­va­tion of our souls.

When we have the con­tin­ued assis­tance of the Ruach Ha’Qodesh, it sig­ni­fies sal­va­tion and tes­ti­fies to Yahusha.  With­out the Holy Spir­it, truth will be obscure and dif­fi­cult to com­pre­hend.

Kepha (Peter) 1 Mentions these commands.

1. Gird up your mind
2. Be Sober
3. Hope for Grace
4. Walk in obe­di­ence
5. Turn away from for­mer lusts
6. Be holy in all your con­ver­sa­tions
7. Love one anoth­er with a pure and fer­vent heart

Basic Facts Affecting My Faith From Kepha Chapter 1

• Father judges us accord­ing to man’s work
• We must have faith and hope in Yahshua
• Truth (Ruach Ha’Qodesh) puri­fies our soul
• We are born again by the Word of Elo­hiym

The Word of Yahuah endures for­ev­er, yield­ing the Beso­rah (Good News)

Why does this mat­ter? Cause the things of this world (realm) all fade away…

Flesh=Grass

Glo­ry of man=Flowers of Grass

Grass with­ers and flow­ers fade away.

So, the flesh body of man will with­er away, and the glo­ry of man will fade away.

Noth­ing from this realm lasts!! 

Praise be to Father for mak­ing a way for us to leave this realm and join with our fam­i­ly out­side of time and space.

Well, that is what I learned from read­ing 1 Peter Chap­ter 1.  After I fin­ish the book of 1 Peter, I will orga­nize the foun­da­tion­al pil­lars of my faith that I glean from 1 Peter. You will be the first to know!

Here’s a more detailed expla­na­tion:

• Latin Gram­mar:.Opens in new tabIn the Latin lan­guage, the word “spir­i­tus” (mean­ing “spir­it”) is a mas­cu­line noun. 
• Vul­gate Trans­la­tion:.Opens in new tabJerome’s Vul­gate trans­la­tion, which became the stan­dard Latin Bible in the West­ern Church, fol­lowed this gram­mat­i­cal rule. 
• Lin­guis­tic Influ­ence:.Opens in new tabThe mas­cu­line gram­mat­i­cal form of “spir­i­tus” in Latin like­ly led to the use of mas­cu­line pro­nouns (“he,” “him”) to refer to the Holy Spir­it in the trans­la­tion. 
• Impact on The­ol­o­gy:.This trans­la­tion choice, while root­ed in gram­mar, has had the­o­log­i­cal impli­ca­tions, influ­enc­ing how the Holy Spir­it is per­ceived in some West­ern tra­di­tions. 
• Hebrew and Greek Alter­na­tives: In Hebrew (ruach), the word for “spir­it” is fem­i­nine, and in Greek (pneu­ma), it is neuter. This high­lights the con­trast in how dif­fer­ent lan­guages treat the Holy Spirit’s gen­der.
