Who Are We and Why Do We Talk Funny?

Shalom, (Peace)

We have had several people join our Bible studies over the past year and because some of the comments we have received I want to clarify what we are talking about, which sounds strange to many people and what we believe which sounds equally as strange to most Christians.

All of us have come out of some sort of Christian “church” to be where we are today. Almost all of us have felt that for some reason the Scriptures and our respective church doctrines did not match up. So, at various times each of us began searching the Scriptures to try and understand why things didn’t match up. For some of us this journey has taken 40+ years. For others, it has only been a matter of months. But the one thing that all of us agree upon is our journey has opened new horizons in the Scriptures.

What Do We Believe?

Quite simply, we believe that YHWH is the Creator of the Earth and the universe and since the very beginning of “time” (time as we know it) He has made a covenant with mankind, through His various chosen ones, whom we call patriarchs, i.e. Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses just to mention a few.

So, how do we pronounce YHWH? There are many ideas on this and since His name was purposefully obscured we are unsure as to the exact pronunciation. Some say Yehovah, others say Yahweh and still others believe it is Yahuwah. Whatever the correct pronunciation we recognize the fact that we may all be wrong and that one day YHWH will reveal the correct pronunciation to us.

We also believe that prior to the Creation of man and woman YHWH already had a plan to redeem the rebellious mankind. In Hebrew we actually see it in the first word of Genesis 1:1, but it is manifested after the sin of Adam and Chawwah (Eve) and is recorded in Genesis 3:15.

 

A New Name for a New Beginning

I started Codgerville in December of 2011 and it was a new beginning for me after having written for SIlver Shield for a year or two, it’s been too long and I just don’t remember. Some of you have hung in there with me since the beginning and I absolutely love you for it but, now I have reached another level in my growth as a believer in YHVH El Shaddai.

Studying Yah’s Word consumes most of my free time and thought and I would not have it any other way. I will ask for your patience and understanding as I, with the help of other like-minded individuals, stumble my way through building a new website.

What are my plans and what will I try to accomplish here? First, we are in the process of making my teaching content available on this site, first, as text and as we grow more accustomed to the formatting, I will include audio/videos of some of the interviews that I have done over the last 4 or 5 years. Even though the interviews are old many are still relevant today.

Second, time is short and I think you sense it as well as I do or you wouldn’t be following Codgerville. I will not abandon Codgerville because it is a very intimate part of me. Von and I have built 3 homes, one in Texas and two in New Mexico and invited you along for most of the journey and hopefully it has helped and edified some of you.

But, I know I should not begin a paragraph with “and” or “but” however I think it appropriate in this case because I am not the same person I was in 2011, 2015, or even 2020. If you will go to Codgerville and look back to: https://codgerville.wordpress.com/2014/08/05/why-i-was-wrong-about-americas-destiny-part-one-the-curse/ > this is when my new journey began because I could see the tons of errors multiplied over the years, regardless of platforms. This is when I accepted the fact that the inevitable was sooner rather than later and I needed to focus my studies and efforts on what was ahead of us instead of what was behind us. History is one of my first loves because it gives us clues to our future as well. I began sharing my Lunar and Solar Eclipse research with everyone and did quite well. (I will include interviews of people asking what I saw coming at a later date.)
