Spiritual Growth - Introduction by Scott Bitterman

Brother Scott has hit upon many important truths with this message. Foremost is his acknowledgment of the "works of the flesh" being equivalent with "satan." (He does this at the 17 minute mark) Indeed, the word satan is merely a transliteration of the word from Hebrew meaning, adversary.

Is it true that Yahweh uses spirit beings to bring about his will on earth? Yes!

Is it true that Yahweh created us to be "like Him?" Again, yes. The early chapters of Genesis confirm this truth; being like Yahweh is to know "good" from "evil."

The miracle -- to my way of thinking -- is not that Yahweh made a mistake in that He gave humanity choice(s) -- rather that He knew beforehand how our original progenitors would respond to those choices (eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil), and therefore made provision in His plan of salvation.

Yahshua was that provision. Not as a Plan B but as the Original Plan that would prove Yahweh's grace through time. Truly, within the Hebraic / Renewed Covenant mindset there is NOTHING that would preclude a "new creation." It is this renewal that shows itself throughout our Scriptures; we have the assurance that this will come to pass from Genesis 3:15 through Revelation 22:2

That verse in Revelation 22 speaks again to the Tree of Life from which the healing of the nations would result. There are NO OTHER writings of faith extant upon earth which speak to such a complete and total restoration of creation to Yahweh.

Our faith, hope and love rests upon these promises. We can be assured of the fulfilment of these promises based upon the historical fulfilment of over 1000 other prophecies that have come to pass. Without a doubt, any sincere seeker of truth will find solace in the pages of Hebrew and Apostolic Scriptures.

Maranatha -- Even so, come quickly, Yahshua our Messiah!
