The Lies and Accusations Against the Renewed Covenant Writings Exposed

A growing movement now claims that the writings commonly called the “New Testament” are false, Roman, pagan, corrupted, filled with witchcraft, or invented by slave masters to deceive the descendants of Yashar’al. Some go even further and accuse Yahusha of being fictional, Sha’al of being a false teacher, and the Shalyakhaym of creating a religion against the Turah. These accusations sound bold, but boldness is not evidence. Repeating a charge does not prove it. Calling a book “Roman” does not demonstrate where its teachings contradict YAHUAH. Calling the writings “witchcraft” does not answer the prophecies they fulfill.
The real question is simple: can these accusations survive the complete testimony of the Turah, the Nabaym, the Tahallaym, and the renewed covenant witnesses? They cannot. People make statements such as, “The New Testament is the slave master’s book,” “It was written by Rome,” “It is filled with sorcery,” “Sha’al created Christianity,” and “Yahusha abolished the Turah.” But where is the evidence? Where is the passage where Yahusha commands witchcraft? Where is the teaching where the Shalyakhaym tell Yashar’al to worship Rome? Where is the verse where Yahusha calls the Turah evil? An accusation without evidence is not truth. It is merely a claim.

The proper standard was already given by Yashayahu:

“To the Turah and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”
— Yashayahu 8:20

The standard is not the Turah while rejecting every later testimony. The standard is the Turah and the testimony. The testimony must agree with the Turah. The renewed covenant writings do not command people to abandon YAHUAH, worship idols, practice lawlessness, or follow strange mighty ones. They testify concerning the promised Mashyakh and call the people to repentance, obedience, righteousness, faithfulness, and endurance. Those who remove the testimony concerning Yahusha are not preserving the complete witness. They are cutting away the testimony the Nabaym instructed us to examine beside the Turah. The Turah itself promised that another Naba would come after Mashah.

“I will raise them up a Naba from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
— Mashah, Dabaraym 18:18

Recognizing a later Naba or promised Deliverer is therefore not rebellion against the Turah. It is obedience to what the Turah announced. The Turah did not end all future revelation at the death of Mashah. It established the standard by which later Nabaym would be tested. The Nabaym continually announced a coming Son, Branch, Servant, Shepherd, and King.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder.”— Yashayahu, Yashayahu 9:6

“Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of Daud, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.”
— Yashayahu, Yashayahu 9:7

“Behold, the days come, saith YAHUAH, that I will raise unto Daud a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.”— Yaramyahu, Yaramyahu 23:5

“Behold the man whose name is The Branch.”— Zakaryahu, Zakaryahu 6:12

“YAHUAH said unto my Master, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”— Daud, Tahallaym 110:1

These prophecies created an expectation. The renewed covenant writings identify Yahusha as the fulfillment of that expectation. Rejecting the renewed covenant writings does not answer the questions raised by the Nabaym. It merely leaves them unanswered. Even Shalumah pointed toward the Ban of YAHUAH.

“Who hath ascended up into Shamay, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his Son’s name, if thou canst tell?”
— Shalumah, Mashalaym 30:4

The mystery of YAHUAH’s Son was not invented by Rome. It was already present within the earlier testimony. The Wisdom of Shalumah also describes a righteous man whom the wicked hate because he claims knowledge of Aluah and calls himself the child of YAHUAH.

“He professeth to have the knowledge of Aluah: and he calleth himself the child of YAHUAH.”
— Shalumah, Wisdom of Shalumah 2:13

“For if the just man be the son of Aluah, he will help him; and he will deliver him from the hand of his enemies.”
— Shalumah, Wisdom of Shalumah 2:18

The wicked then determine to test him through humiliation, torment, and a shameful death. That prophetic pattern did not originate with Christianity. It already existed within writings attributed to Shalumah. The renewed covenant itself was promised by the Nabaym.

“Behold, the days come, saith YAHUAH, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Yashar’al, and with the house of Yahudah.”— Yaramyahu, Yaramyahu 31:31

“I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts.”
— Yaramyahu, Yaramyahu 31:33

The renewed covenant was not promised to Rome. It was promised to the house of Yashar’al and the house of Yahudah. The promise does not abolish the Turah. It places YAHUAH’s law within the heart. Therefore, any interpretation that turns the renewed covenant into lawlessness is false. But the existence of false Christian interpretations does not make the renewed covenant writings themselves false. Misuse does not erase proper use. Yahusha plainly denied that He came to destroy the Turah or the Nabaym.

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”
— Mathathyahu, Mathathyahu 5:17

“Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law.”
— Mathathyahu, Mathathyahu 5:18

Yahusha did not tell His listeners to abandon the commandments. He warned against breaking them and teaching others to break them. He opposed hypocrisy, man-made traditions, corrupt leadership, and false interpretation. Correcting the Pharisees was not an attack against the Turah. It was a defense of the commandments against religious corruption. Yahusha directly distinguished YAHUAH’s commands from man-made traditions.

“Full well ye reject the commandment of Aluah, that ye may keep your own tradition.”
— Marqus, Marqus 7:9

This is not the speech of someone attempting to destroy the Turah. It is the speech of someone defending YAHUAH’s commandments against traditions that made the word ineffective. Modern Christianity has often used Yahusha to excuse lawlessness. But the abuse of Yahusha’s words by Christianity does not prove that Yahusha taught lawlessness. It proves that His teachings were twisted. When Yahusha was asked about the greatest commandment, He answered directly from the Turah.

“Hear, O Yashar’al; YAHUAH our Aluah is one YAHUAH: and thou shalt love YAHUAH thy Aluah with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.”
— Marqus, Marqus 12:29–30

He then quoted Wayaqra:

“Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
— Marqus, Marqus 12:31

Yahusha did not replace the Turah with a foreign moral system. He taught directly from it. His instruction concerning love was not freedom from obedience. It was the proper foundation of obedience. The Shalyakhaym also continued teaching obedience.

“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.”
— Yahukhanan, 1 Yahukhanan 2:3

“He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”
— Yahukhanan, 1 Yahukhanan 2:4

Khazun identifies the faithful remnant by two inseparable marks:

“Here is the patience of the Qadashaym: here are they that keep the commandments of Aluah, and the testimony of Yahusha.”
— Yahukhanan, Khazun 14:12

The remnant does not keep the commandments while rejecting Yahusha. Neither does the remnant claim Yahusha while rejecting the commandments. The remnant keeps the commandments of Aluah and the testimony of Yahusha. One of the strongest answers to the accusations against Sha’al comes from Kapa himself.

“Even as our beloved brother Sha’al also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you.”— Kapa, 2 Kapa 3:15

Kapa did not call Sha’al a deceiver, sorcerer, Roman agent, or false Shalyakh. He called him our beloved brother and said wisdom had been given to him.

Kapa then gave a direct warning:

“As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.”— Kapa, 2 Kapa 3:16

The problem was not that Sha’al’s writings were false. The problem was that unlearned and unstable people would twist them.

Kapa even placed Sha’al’s writings beside “the other Scriptures.” He then continued:

“Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.”— Kapa, 2 Kapa 3:17

The warning was given in advance. Sha’al’s writings would contain difficult matters. Unstable people would distort them. Others would then be led away by those distortions.
This is exactly what happened. Christianity twisted Sha’al to teach against the Turah. Then anti-renewed-covenant teachers looked at Christianity’s interpretation and blamed Sha’al himself. Both sides failed to read him according to the Turah.

Sha’al directly denied that the law was sinful.

“What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Aluah forbid.”— Sha’al, Rumaym 7:7

“Wherefore the law is set-apart, and the commandment set-apart, and just, and good.”— Sha’al, Rumaym 7:12

A man calling the law set-apart, righteous, and good is not teaching that the Turah is evil. Sha’al’s writings deal with justification, sin, flesh, covenant administration, condemnation, and the misuse of law. They contain difficult arguments, but difficulty does not equal deception. Those who isolate his statements from their chapters and from the Turah can make him appear to teach nearly anything. Kapa warned that this would happen. Sha’al also personally denied the accusation that he taught against Mashah. When he came to Yarushalam, Ya’aqub and the elders addressed the reports being spread concerning him.

“That those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.”— Luqah, Ma’ashaym 21:24

The writings themselves record both the accusation and the answer. Yet many people repeat the accusation while ignoring the defense preserved in the same account.

Kapa did not teach lawlessness either.

“Because it is written, Be ye set-apart; for I am set-apart.”— Kapa, 1 Kapa 1:16

Kapa quoted directly from Wayaqra and warned against the error of lawless people.
Ya’aqub also defended obedience.

“But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein…”
— Ya’aqub, Ya’aqub 1:25

“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.”— Ya’aqub, Ya’aqub 2:10

Ya’aqub quoted the commands against adultery and murder and taught that belief without obedient works is dead. This is not an attack against the Turah. It is covenant instruction rooted in the Turah. The accusation that the renewed covenant writings are “witchcraft” also has no scriptural foundation.

Where do these writings command necromancy?
Where do they teach divination?
Where do they instruct people to consult familiar spirits?
Where do they authorize idol worship?
Where do they teach sacrifice to strange mighty ones?

They do not.

Instead, the writings condemn sorcery, idolatry, sexual immorality, murder, lying, covetousness, false prophecy, spiritual deception, worship of the Beast, and rebellion against YAHUAH. Calling a text “witchcraft” while it repeatedly condemns witchcraft is not an argument. It is an accusation without demonstration. Some accuse Yahusha of sorcery because He healed the sick, cast out unclean spirits, and performed signs. But miracles are not automatically sorcery. Mashah performed signs. Alyahu performed signs. Alyasha performed signs. The Nabaym healed sickness, multiplied food, and even raised the dead. The question is not simply whether a sign occurred. The question is by whose authority it occurred and what message it confirmed. Yahusha called people to worship YAHUAH, repent, walk in righteousness, and obey the truth. He did not direct anyone toward strange mighty ones. The accusation that the writings are “Greek religion” also ignores their actual content. The fact that writings were transmitted through Greek manuscripts does not automatically determine the covenant identity of their message. Parts of Danay’al and Azra were preserved in foreign languages. That does not make their testimony pagan.

The proper test is not merely, “What language was this copied in?” The proper test is, “Does the message agree with the Turah and the Nabaym?”

The renewed covenant writings continually appeal to YAHUAH, Yashar’al, Yahudah, the Turah, the Nabaym, the covenant, the temple, the priesthood, the promises to the fathers, the throne of Daud, the coming kingdom, the resurrection, the regathering, and the judgment of the nations. This is not a story disconnected from Yashar’al. It is a continuation of Yashar’al’s covenant testimony. Rome’s later use of these writings does not prove that Rome created them. Rome later developed religious institutions, created traditions, persecuted people, promoted false images, changed practices, and used Scripture for political power. Those facts expose Rome. They do not prove Rome invented every writing it later controlled.
An empire can seize, translate, institutionalize, manipulate, or weaponize a testimony it did not originate. The fact that slave masters later misused Scripture does not prove that the enslaved Yahudan Mashyakh and His original Yahudan followers were invented by slave masters.
Abuse of a text is not proof of its original authorship. Slave masters also used the earlier Scriptures. They quoted the Turah and the Nabaym while ignoring justice, liberation, restitution, mercy, and judgment.

Does their misuse prove Mashah was invented by slave masters?
Does their possession of Barashyth prove Abaraham was fictional?
Does their use of Tahallaym prove Daud was Roman?

No.

Therefore, the same reasoning cannot honestly be used against the renewed covenant writings. The wicked misuse truth. Their misuse does not transform truth into a lie. The renewed covenant writings also expose oppression. They condemn those who defraud laborers, oppress the poor, show partiality to the rich, shed innocent blood, and make merchandise of human beings.
Khazun lists “slaves and souls of men” among the merchandise of Babylon and ends with the destruction of that oppressive world system. That is not a message designed to preserve slave empires forever. It announces their judgment. The testimony also centers a Yahudan from Yahudah, not the pale European image later created by religious art. Yahusha was born among the people of Yahudah. He lived among Yashar’al. He taught in their land. He confronted corrupt leadership. He was called the Son of Daud. His earliest followers were Yahudaym. Turning Yahusha into a European religious image was a later distortion. Rejecting the false European image does not require rejecting the true Yahudan Mashyakh. Destroy the idol, but do not destroy the testimony.

False Christianity must be exposed. Christianity replaced covenant with religion, rejected the Turah, changed appointed times, created false images, supported empires, hid the identity of Yashar’al, misused Sha’al, and turned the coming kingdom into an escape doctrine. But exposing Christianity does not require accusing Yahusha and the Shalyakhaym falsely. One deception does not correct another deception. Rejecting the corrupt religious system while preserving the scriptural testimony is the balanced path.
The attack against the renewed covenant writings produces a clear result: it removes Yahusha, His death and resurrection, the testimony of the Shalyakhaym, the warning concerning the Anti-Mashyakh, the first resurrection, the renewed covenant, the blood of the Lamb, the coming King, and the final witness of Khazun. The attack does not merely remove Christianity. It attempts to remove the testimony concerning the Mashyakh.

Ta Satan works through opposite deceptions.

One deception says, “Accept Yahusha but reject the commandments.”
The other says, “Accept the commandments but reject Yahusha.”
Both divide what Scripture joins together.
The faithful remnant keeps the commandments of Aluah and the testimony of Yahusha. Ta Satan does not care which side a person falls from, as long as that person leaves the narrow path. Some are led into lawless Christianity. Others are led into an anti-Mashyakh rejection of the testimony.
The remnant must reject both errors. The key questions must therefore remain together.

Where does Yahusha command the rejection of the Turah?
Why did He say He did not come to destroy the law or the Nabaym?
Why did He quote the Turah when identifying the greatest commandments? Why did He condemn religious leaders for rejecting YAHUAH’s commandments?
Why did Yaramyahu promise a renewed covenant with Yashar’al and Yahudah?
Why does that covenant place the law within the heart?
Who is the Naba like Mashah promised in Dabaraym?
Who is the Son mentioned in Mashalaym 30:4?
Who is the righteous Son described in the Wisdom of Shalumah?
Who is Daud’s Master in Tahallaym 110:1? Who is the Son in Tahallaym 2?
Who is the righteous Branch promised by Yaramyahu?
Who is the suffering servant of Yashayahu? Why did Kapa call Sha’al a beloved brother? Why did Kapa say wisdom had been given to Sha’al?
Why did Kapa warn that unstable people would twist Sha’al’s writings?
Why did Sha’al call the law set-apart, righteous, and good?
Why does Ma’ashaym record that Sha’al walked orderly and guarded the law?
Where do the writings command witchcraft? How does Rome’s later misuse prove Rome authored every earlier testimony?
Why does Khazun identify the faithful as keeping both the commandments and the testimony of Yahusha?

Mockery cannot answer these questions. Accusations cannot answer them. Only honest examination can. The key points must also remain together. The Turah foretold a coming Naba. The Nabaym foretold a coming Son, Branch, Shepherd, Servant, and King. Shalumah spoke of the mystery of YAHUAH’s Son. Yaramyahu promised a renewed covenant with Yashar’al and Yahudah. Yahusha denied abolishing the Turah. The Shalyakhaym continued teaching obedience. Kapa called Sha’al a beloved brother and warned that unstable people would twist his writings. Sha’al called the law set-apart, righteous, and good. Ma’ashaym records that Sha’al walked orderly and guarded the law. The writings condemn witchcraft rather than promote it. Rome’s later corruption does not prove Roman authorship. Slave-master misuse does not make the original testimony false. Khazun identifies the remnant by both the commandments of Aluah and the testimony of Yahusha. The Nabaym were twisted. The Turah was twisted. Tahallaym was twisted. Yahusha’s words were twisted. Sha’al’s writings were twisted. The fact that something can be twisted does not make the original testimony false. Kapa specifically warned that unstable people would twist Sha’al’s writings as they did the other Scriptures. The proper response to distortion is therefore not destruction. It is restoration.
Yahusha must be restored to the Turah. Sha’al must be restored to covenant context.
The renewed covenant must be restored to Yashar’al. The testimony must be restored to the Nabaym. The commandments and the testimony must be restored together. The accusation that the renewed covenant writings are merely Roman witchcraft, slave-master propaganda, or an attack against the Turah is not established by Scripture. These accusations depend upon confusing Christianity with Yahusha, confusing Roman manipulation with original authorship, confusing mistranslation with total fabrication, confusing Sha’al’s difficult arguments with lawlessness, ignoring Kapa’s warning, ignoring the Nabaym, ignoring the promised renewed covenant, ignoring the testimony concerning YAHUAH’s Son, and ignoring the agreement between the commandments and the testimony. The renewed covenant writings must be examined according to the Turah and the Nabaym—not according to Roman Christianity and not according to anti-Mashyakh accusations.

False Christianity must be exposed.
Roman corruption must be exposed.
Slave-master manipulation must be exposed.
Lawless interpretations of Sha’al must be exposed. But the testimony concerning Yahusha must not be thrown away with the corrupt system that later misused His Name.
The remnant is not identified by Christianity. Neither is the remnant identified by rejecting Yahusha.

The remnant is identified by Scripture:

“Here is the patience of the Qadashaym: here are they that keep the commandments of Aluah, and the testimony of Yahusha.”
— Yahukhanan, Khazun 14:12

To the Turah and to the testimony. Not the Turah without the testimony. Not the testimony without the Turah. The commandments of Aluah and the testimony of Yahusha belong together. Amayn.
