We’ve almost forgotten, this month marks the 2nd anniversary of this website. We joined the internet highway in February 2012, six months after we organized in September 2011.
Sinai 6000 was ‘birthed’ as a recognizable faith community with a creed declaring Who is our God, YHWH, and What is His Way of life for humanity—the TORAH.
We marked our first year anniversary with this post:
S6K – a Collective Voice for Truth-seeking Gentiles
Here’s part of what we said then, partly revised:
We decided to share as we progress in our studies because there is so much to relearn and unlearn. For now we are only on the beginning rungs of the ladder, or the first layers of skin to peel off multiple levels of truths in the vast and rich collection of writings in the Hebrew Scriptures. We have barely scratched the surface. We know that as we mature and grow, our 2nd, 3rd and more readings and reviews will yield more insight, more comprehension of the same texts we’ve read before. That is the nature of the Book of the TORAH on which is recorded YHWH’s one-time, complete, historical revelation to mankind. As we mature, when we read the same text, we see and understand more the next time around.
We are in transition; our audience are people who have started questioning their long-held beliefs.
We don’t expect Jews to learn from us, we address non-Jews just like ourselves who care to know how we arrived at where we are now.
Israel has left us gentiles their legacy in their Hebrew Scriptures, the TNK. Christianity has attached its version of Israel’s legacy to its Bible as “Old Testament,” but it barely emphasizes the importance of studying OT on its own merit rather than as a “proof-text” source to support all its Nicene Creed dogmatic declarations.
We provide the gentile voice and gentile understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures, not a Jewish voice, since their agenda is different and rightly so.
Our Lord YHWH, the God of Israel, the God on Sinai is the God of all nations; we belong to “the nations.”
We want to know what YHWH requires of us gentiles, since He has been specific about requirements of His chosen people; we wish to know how or IF it differs from what he requires of Israel.
We seek to provide the gentile perspective on the Hebrew Scriptures, the first part of which — the TORAH — we have wholeheartedly embraced as our Way of Life. We are in the process of figuring out which part of TORAH is for Israel, and which is for all humanity.
To our frequent website visitors, we share your hunger for Truth and encourage you to share your own journey with us; send your contributions, write in your questions, your disagreements, join the discussions and discourses.
We are going through some changes in our format at this time; with easier navigation through over 700 posts to date, we also hope to have more interaction with our visitors. We see in our “Visitor’s Global Map” where you’re signing in from, location/country (9066 in two years!); we’re always interested to know about you and why you have ‘landed’ on Sinai 6000. Obviously some are accidental landings; but many return and we see you over and over and wish to hear from you. Feedback, whether positive or negative, is not only welcome but eagerly anticipated; discourse even between parties who don’t see eye to eye is beneficial to both, as well as the non-participant listening in.
We thank our Lord YHWH for the opportunity He has provided for us to reach beyond the borders of our mountain city and our national boundaries, enabling us to reach as many other seekers like ourselves around the world. Truly we are fortunate to live in these times when the internet highway takes us right into the homes of nameless God-seekers like ourselves.
May His Truth be declared, may His Name be known and proclaimed. . . to echo the Shema to Israel . . .
Hear O gentiles, O nations,
our God is One, there is no other . . . .
His Name is YHWH.
