Torah Life Ministries

Beliefs and Practices

To the best of our knowledge this website and our ministry mission is based strictly on the word of The Scriptures revealed to us through study, prayer, faith and real life application.

As our understanding of The Word grows we will surely adjust our teachings. When asked “When will we stop changing our beliefs?” we simply reply “When we are perfect.” In other words, that might never happen. We can never know it all. As we learn, we grow.

It is our prayer that everyone will have a passion to know YHWH more deeply and experience the joy of having a personal relationship with Him. We care for all brothers and sisters who have a desire to know YHWH more, even if you don’t share the same beliefs. Many people will have many different opinions and understandings about many things in life. When it comes to spiritual beliefs, we believe it should come down to how we can please YHWH the most. We believe The Scriptures reveal how to do that.

There are certain issues of Scripture we have an uncompromising stand on.

We believe In the true Name of the Heavenly Father, Yahweh (YHWH). We also proclaim the Son, who was originally named Yahshua (Jesus), a name that means, “Yahweh is salvation.” The Savior’s mission is reflected in His Name Yahweh to bring the message of salvation to the world. 

We believe is Yahshua's death, burial, physical resurrection and subsequent ascension to the right hand of the Father, where He sits as the Cohen HaGadol over Yisrael. Psalm 110:1, Luke 24:51. As Yahshua, the Son of Elohim, being the Way to eternal life. John 14:6 That only the blood of the Lamb of Yah, Yahshua, can remove one’s Torah breaking (John 1:29).

We believe that Replacement Theology, Duel Covenant Theology, and Separate Entity Theology are unscriptural. Yisrael can only be defined, as those who are physical human beings, with a physical connection to Yisrael, along with a spiritual connection to Yisrael by being Believers Yahshua as the Moshiach. (Ephesians 2:11-19). That Ephraim-Yisrael's recognition of their identity and restoration with brother Yehudah is the truth that will become the salvation of all Yisrael most fully in the millennial reign of Moshiach (Ezekiel 37:16-28, Romans 11:25-26). That Yahshua's physical return to earth will result in the ultimate restoration of the Kingdom to Yisrael. (Acts 1:6)

We believe that a person must do repentance and a confession of belief in the Moshiach.

We believe with perfect faith that YHWH , blessed be His name, is the Creator and ruler of all created things. He is all and in all. To Him belongs the glory forever.

We believe in Moshiach Yeshua, as the virgin born Son of Elohim, having come in the flesh as the Word of YHWH. That is Him dwells all the fullness of Elohim.

We believe with perfect faith that The Scriptures, as written by the original writers in the original language, is the Word of YHWH.

We believe with perfect faith that YHWH knows the hearts and minds of all human beings.

We believe that the Torah is eternal and still binding on the followers of Moshiach Yeshua.

We believe with perfect faith that YHWH will reward those made righteous through the atonement purchased for us by Messiah Yeshua on the tree.  

We believe Yisrael is defined as Judah-Yehudah and Ephraim-Yisrael, the two physical houses becoming one again, through our Moshiach Yahshua. Their companions are the minority non-Yisraelites, who by Moshiach’s atonement, join the nation of Yisrael, and become Yisrael. We recognize that all Jews are Yisraelites but also that all Yisraelites are not Jews. The Yisrael of YHWH, Galatians 6:16, includes all children of the promise, through Isaac-Yitzchak and Jacob-Yisrael, and those who join Yisrael. (First Peter 2:9, Ezekiel 37:16, Isaiah 56:1-8)

We believe that all believers in Moshiach Yahshua are physical and spiritual Yisrael, regardless of whether they come from Judah-Yehudah, Ephraim-Yisrael (10 tribes) or have no Yisraelite blood but have joined Yisrael’s Commonwealth through submission to Yisrael’s King the Moshiach Yahshua. Thus the ekklesia / kahal is Yisrael restored. (Ephesians 2:11-19)

We believe that the so called church does not exist apart from the historic people of Yisrael, and as such never replaced Jewish-Yisrael as Yisrael Acts 7:38, Acts 2:1-47. We reject all forms or derivations of Replacement Theology or Dominion Theology. Jewish-Yisrael’s major covenants with YHWH are eternal and unconditional. However the individual must make teshuvah-repentance through Yahshua, to reclaim the covenant promises that belong to the nation. Jer. 31:33-34

We believe that the Seventh Day is the True Shabbat of YHWH and it is a Holy convocation and one is obligated to meet with Believers on that day in an assembly. The Feasts of YHWH should be observed by the Body of Moshiach (Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot being Sholesh Regulim) according to the established rabbinical calendar. (Lev.23) We reject all pagan holidays and rites that involve any religious observance.

 “Here is my final conclusion: Fear YHWH and obey his commands, for this is the duty of every person.”  Ecclesiastes 12:13
