A Correct View of Authority
A Correct Translation"All souls are subject to Supreme Authority. Indeed there is no authority except that of YHWH. Moreover the authority that comes to agree (with YHWH) are appointed under YHWH. Whoever sets himself up in opposition to this authority stands against the arrangement of YHWH. Moreover, the opposer will be held in judgment."
- Romans 13:1-2

Qodesh – ‘Set Apart’
The words holy or sanctify are often used as religious words today. However, the origins of these words resides in ancient sun worship and false religion. The reality is that the words holy and sacred have nothing to do with being set apart to YHWH Elohim, said to be translated from the Hebrew word “Qodesh.” Qodesh is understood as righteous or set-apart for a special purpose. The essential concept of the word qodesh is one of apartness and distinction. Disciples of Yahshua [Jesus] the Messiah are to be set apart to Elohim, clearly defined from the world [kosmos] as servants or representatives of YHWH Elohim.
