P. 96
69. Can you have the Holy Spirit in you without the laying on of hands?
Yahweh is not the author of confusion (I Cor 14:33), but He has a systematic way of transferring
the Ruach HaChodesh (Holy Spirit) to others. He uses this as a safeguard so that his spirit will
not be transferred to just anybody, but only to those that his true ministers have qualified to have
truly repented of their sins and accepted the blood of Yahshua for the forgiveness of those sins. The
more we know, the more accountability we have before YHWH (Lk 12:47-48). This is why YHWH
does not call everyone today, and give a full knowledge of the truth, so that he can have mercy on
their ignorance at a later judgment. Romans 11:32, “For YHWH hath concluded them all in
unbelief, that he may have mercy upon them all.” This is why the laying on of hands and
transferring of the Holy Spirit can only be done by someone who has been ordained and given
the authority from YHWH (Jn 20:21-23)...
Think about it. If any baptized member had the ability to transfer YHWH’s spirit, what chaos it
would have caused...
The laying on of hands is part of the baptism ceremony and one of the basic doctrines of the
congregation in Heb 6:1-2. It can only be performed by a qualified Elder, who has been given the
authority from YHWH, through ordination, and having hands laid on him.
Here is a group of men who claim that they alone have the power and authority to transfer Yahweh’s
Spirit to other men. This is gross error, and a manifestation of pride. Undoubtedly, such a doctrine
serves as a means to control the members of the church. The elders need only declare someone
disqualified on any basis they choose to charge the individual who disagrees with them of not being
a partaker of the Spirit of Yahweh. After all, they alone are the sole arbiters of such matters.
In answering the e-mail from the brother in Christ who asked me for my thoughts on this Bible
translation, I shared the following. (http://www.coyhwh.com/en/bible.php)
---
I have found the phrase "Hebraic Roots" to be used as a synonym for "Torah Observant." I have yet
to find anyone who claims to be a Hebraic Roots adherent who is not teaching the saints that they
must keep the Law of Moses. I would be surprised if this Bible translation does not include some
biased translations of Paul's teachings that would render it more "Law friendly."
A second issue I have is with the statement below that is found on this same page.
This complete bible also has the New Testament based on the original Aramaic Peshitta text, the
very language that our Savior spoke. The original New Testament was not written in Greek, but
Aramaic.
I find difficulty with this statement for many reasons. First, the Peshitta was written in Syriac, a
dialect of Aramaic that is distinct from Hebrew. It is somewhat disingenuous to refer to it as the
Aramaic Peshitta. Most scholars refer to the Peshitta as the Syriac Peshitta. The reason for this is
that Syriac and Hebrew, though both being dialects of Aramaic, are distinct from one another. It is
therefore inaccurate to say that this is "the very language that our Savior spoke."
