What coming out of Babylon looks like…
Published by Rob Skiba January 11, 2015 at 5:26 PM As I am going through the 100+ notes I’ve written over the past few years, it is very interesting to see the journey I’ve been on and how others have reacted to it along the way. When I realized that the gifts of the Spirit are still in effect today and that John 14:12 was true and still applicable to us in the 21st Century, all my Baptist... read more

Is it “God’s will” for you to have sickness and disease?
Published by Rob Skiba January 19, 2015 at 4:07 PM So, I just saw an Internet article about the actress Yolanda Foster, who apparently is suffering from Lyme Disease. In it she is quoted as saying, “I guess God gives his hardest battles to the strongest soldiers” Source: http://www.tmz.com/2015/01/19/yolanda-foster-lyme-disease-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/ While I can... read more

“So do you keep all 613 commandments Rob??”
Published by Rob Skiba January 3, 2015 at 2:51 PM People ask me all the time, “Well if you claim to be Torah observant do you keep ALL 613 commandments in it?” This is of course usually done in a smug effort to try and trip me up and eventually label me either a liar, hypocrite, heretic or worse. I can almost guarantee that nearly everyone who hurls that accusatory question has never... read more

“Church Fathers” and the Closing Words of Scripture
Published by Rob Skiba December 30, 2014 at 5:47 AM People love to quote the “early Church Fathers” all the time. Unfortunately, the ones they are choosing to quote are really more like “early Church Children, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren” and even rebellious step children. The true “early Church Fathers” are the authors of the New Testament! Yes, they... read more

Holidays – Each of us should be fully convinced in his own mind?
Published by Rob Skiba December 24, 2014 at 4:16 PM The two Scriptures I hear most mis-applied to issues such as whether or not we should observe the Sabbath or so-called holidays like X-mess and Ishtar Day are Romans 14:5,6 and Colossians 2:16. So, I feel it is important to address them both here in a NOTE. In context, the issue being discussed in Romans 14 was FOOD (vegetarians vs meat... read more

Historical facts about X-mess and the Church
December 23, 2014 at 1:11 PM The following compilation of historical facts are taken from: http://www.biblestudying.net/churchhistory5.html and are provided here for your consideration:It is a historical fact, that for 200 years after Christ the church did not celebrate Christ’s birthday or any holiday on December 25. And it wasn’t until sometime in the middle of the 300’s AD that most of the... read more

I’ll see your Paul and raise you ten plus… and a Vulcan just for the fun of it
Published by Rob Skiba December 16, 2014 at 2:48 PM Oh how interesting it gets whenever we talk about actually obeying YHWH with Christians. It still astounds me that there should even be a debate as to whether or not obeying YHWH is something we should be doing. Yet, time and time again, we find that it is a hotly contested debate. And within this debate, everyone and their dog wants to throw down Paul... read more

What are the Scriptures anyway?
Published by Rob Skiba December 13, 2014 at 9:57 PM We use the word “Scriptures” all the time, but BIBLICALLY speaking, what were/are the Scriptures? In other words, looking at the New Testament, we sure do see the word used a lot, but in EVERY CASE to what are the authors referring? Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in... read more

What is love?
Published by Rob Skiba December 11, 2014 at 10:43 PM Whenever post just about anything concerning keeping the commandments, I often hear people tell me that Jesus only gave two commandments for us to follow (as if He decided to trump His Father). Well, the first thing we must consider is this: John 10:30 I and My Father are one. So, right there we can toss out any notion of One... read more

A cry of LOVE from heaven (and me) to you…
Published by Rob Skiba December 2, 2014 at 2:09 PM Before you read this note, I want you to go and get your Bible. Seriously. Go get it. Got it? OK, now open up to Matthew 1 and hold the entire New Testament in-between the fingers on your right hand. Then look at the amount of the book we call the Bible that is in that hand and compare it to what is left on the other side. You’ll quickly notice that... read more

Does YHWH like our X-mess songs and holiday celebrations?
Published by Rob Skiba November 26, 2014 at 2:45 PM Exodus 32:3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, THESE BE THY GODS, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5 And when Aaron saw it, he... read more

Problems with a Sukkot birth for Yeshua
Published by Rob Skiba November 25, 2014 at 3:09 PM The signs for the Alpha and Omega were set in motion from the Beginning to the End… Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: Revelation 12: 1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman... read more

A “cult” or a MASSIVE MOVE of YHWH?
Published by Rob Skiba November 6, 2014 at 2:07 PM I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am NOT in the so-called “Hebrew Roots Movement cult”. There are many reasons why I say that: Namely, there are those within the officially recognized movement that deny the deity of Christ and His Messiahship. They want to rip Paul out of the New Testament, thinking him to be a heretic... read more

The Aleph Bet of Lamentations 2
Published by Rob Skiba September 25, 2014 at 1:41 AM This is crazy cool! And sort of freaky… So I was doing a key-word search on the phrase “apply of the eye” and found that in the book of Lamentations, chapter 2, the Hebrew is structured such that each first letter of every sentence represents the sequence of the Hebrew alphabet. Check it out… אֵיכָה֩ יָעִ֨יב בְּאַפֹּ֤ו ׀ אֲדֹנָי֙... read more

The Deuteronomy 13 Test

You can do so by going to this URL: http://119ministries.com/the-deuteronomy-thirteen-test In this teaching, they direct our attention to (as you may have guessed) what is said in the thirteenth chapter of Deuteronomy, wherein we... read more

The Deuteronomy 12 Test: Read at your own risk…
Published by Rob Skiba August 13, 2014 at 3:23 PM The Deuteronomy 12 Test This is something that I have become more and more passionate about. We learn in Deuteronomy 12 that we are not to worship YHWH the same way the heathens worship their false gods. DEUTERONOMY 12: 28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after... read more

Twisting and Distorting My “Twisting and Distorting” Note on Col. 2
Published by Rob Skiba June 22, 2014 at 1:08 AM And so the lunacy continues… http://www.logosapologia.org/?p=5633 In the opening paragraph of the above blog, we see: In Colossians, Paul is addressing a situation quite similar to Skiba’s own “ministry” that also asserts New Covenant believers need concern themselves with the obsolete Mosaic covenant stipulations... read more

What’s In A Name?
Published by Rob Skiba July 15, 2014 at 10:40 PM A while back, I saw something Chuck Missler taught on the significance of the meanings of the names in Scripture. We know that in the Bible they named their kids things for a reason. For example: Esau came out red and hairy, so they named him Esau, which means “shaggy”. Jacob came out grabbing his brother’s heal, so they named him... read more

Just a Coincidence?
Published by Rob Skiba June 29, 2014 at 9:47 PM So, I was just thinking… or should I say, wondering: Is it just a coincidence that the last prophetic writer of the Old Testament and the last apostolic writer of the New Testament were telling us the same thing? Malachi 3: 6 “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. 7a From the... read more

Church in the Wilderness and the Fullness of the Gentiles
Published by Rob Skiba June 24, 2014 at 5:25 PM The CHURCH in the wilderness Like many, I once believed the Church was founded on the day of Pentecost. While that is true, I discovered I had the timing wrong. It was not the Pentecost of Acts 2, but rather of Acts 7. ACTS 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina,... read more

Remember how I did many mighty miracles to deliver you from the oppression of your slave masters? Then I took you far away from them and wrote down a few things in stone (with My own finger) to let you know what your new life with Me could be like? Honestly, I... read more

Why Singing “I did myyyyyyyy wayyyyy.” Won’t Go Well For You
Published by Rob Skiba June 15, 2014 at 4:50 PM Frank Sinatra is well known for his famous song, “My way.” But as I look at the Scriptures concerning how YHWH is to be worshipped, I can’t see those {SIN-at-ya} lyrics working out too well for anyone who wants to do it their way instead of HIS way. Indeed, Yeshua seems to be warning against that menality in… Matthew 7: 22 Many... read more

Did Yeshua Take A Nazarite Vow (in Matt. 26:29)?
Published by Rob Skiba June 3, 2014 at 2:10 AM Before I begin this note, let me just say up front that I am asking this question myself: Did Yeshua Take A Nazarite Vow? I am going to suggest that He did. Based on my acknowledged limited understanding, please allow me to SPECULATE… The Levitical Priesthood has been and will remain done away with so long as the Melchizedek Priesthood remains intact.... read more

Redeeming the Bride Part 2: Drinking the Cup

LEVITICUS 27: 1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the Lord by thy estimation. 3 And thy estimation shall be of the male from... read more
