I'm very sorry to read this.
There aren't many tenets of Christianity that are mandatory, that Born Again Children of God MUST believe.
I for one, do not think a person is a Christian if they do not believe Jesus is God in the Flesh. There may be some baby Christians that are initially confused on this subject that eventually do come to this Truth. I hope you are one of them
I felt that you were hinting that you did not believe. Thank you for your honesty in confirming it.

Yahweh is the closest part of speaech to a gerund in Engish. It is taken from the Hebrew verb, haya, which is very similar to our infinitive, to be, however when Yahweh uses it , it becomes an active verb meaning He Is on His own accord. He Is Who He Is.
This is quite befitting the Maaker and Origin of all that is.
I have been taught by Jesus, Yeshua, that faith called "the faith of Abraham." Now just Who you believe this reference is may differ from one to another.
Most think it is the faith like that of Abram before he was renamed Abraham, however when we examin what Abraham translates as into English we fin it is th e Honored Father of Peoples (nations or a multitude.) This is Yahweh.
As for the name of Jesus, all the renditions are traced back to Yeshua, though they are but transliterations. When we say Jesus knowing it means the Savior of God(Yah) or Yahweh's Salvation this is the true understanding of His name. Otherwise people would not understand whyu an Angel of Adoneinu would say to Meriam, call Him Jesus for He shall save His people! Without knowing what Jesus means, this istotal gibberish, but it is not.
If you wish you may relate bak to Yeshi, father of David. Yeshi (Jesse) means my Redeemer, and dhis sone's name means Beloved, that is David. There ismuch prphecy and knowledge to be had by all who give credence to our true forefathers and very little if any to those who say they believe but dislike thier tru heritage. All blessings in Yeshua...…….the Redeemer o Yah, amen.

I'm going to go to Genesis now as you know this was an account of Moses given by GOD and Moses was born Jewish and raised Egyptian
Genesis 16:7 The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. 8 And he said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai.” 9 The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her.” 10 The angel of the Lordalso said to her, “I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude.” 11 And the angel of the Lord said to her,
“Behold, you are pregnant
and shall bear a son.
You shall call his name Ishmael,[c]
because the Lord has listened to your affliction.
12 He shall be a wild donkey of a man,
his hand against everyone
and everyone's hand against him,
and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.”
13 So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,”[d] for she said, “Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.”[e]
I ask you this how did the writer of Genesis know that Ishmael's descendants offspring would be multiplied so much they could not be numbered
Genesis 21:9 But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, laughing.[b] 10 So she said to Abraham, “Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.” 11 And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son. 12 But God said to Abraham, “Be not displeased because of the boy and because of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your offspring be named. 13 And I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring.”
Genesis 25:23 And the Lord said to her,
“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you[c] shall be divided;
the one shall be stronger than the other,
the older shall serve the younger.”
Genesis 28:8 So when Esau saw that the Canaanite women did not please Isaac his father, 9 Esau went to Ishmael and took as his wife, besides the wives he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth.
other than these particular scriptures not much was ever known about nation that GOD promised Ishmael until Muslims, making these scriptures somewhat prophetic. If you chose to call people who GOD promised to make a nation and did worshippers of a false GOD that's your choice; I on the other hand think GOD has his plans for all his people.

So what.....Ishmael was cast OUT and the Arabs come from ISHMAEL and ALLAH is a Muslim false god.....and his plan is found in Galatians.......called ALLEGORY between ISHMAEL and ISAAC
If you choose to call a false god a real GOD......it proves two things...
No contextual honesty
No historical integrity

My only church is the Body of Christ, I believe as Jesus did that religion and man made rules of religion burden and separate the children of GOD. I follow the 10 Commandments the only scripture actually written by the finger of GOD I hope you do to. The first 4 say love GOD with all your heart soul mind and body, the next 6 are liken to it in that they say love all mankind as you love yourself. Do you love me PennEd?
Back to your original post. When I was digging, a while back, as to the veracity and historicity of the Scriptures we have today, I discovered that many respected scholars have addressed this issue.
Though I cannot remember the source, the consensus was 80% of NT quotes from the OT were from the Greek version of Scripture in use at the time of Jesus. The NT used the OT Scriptures to illustrate God’s Love, patience, justice and grace, but they did it with a clearer understanding that was taught directly by Jesus. The Jews were chosen by God to share their knowledge and relationship with Him, so that the “whole world” could be reconciled to Him.
It was and is about God first and foremost.

So you agree GOD created Satan. So when he created him as an angel was Satan good until evil was found in him (meaning he fell from grace)? Or did GOD create Satan (that's not his name simply a description) to be evil?
Lucifer= bright morning star only used in the KJV of the Christian Bible
Satan= adversary
Devil= liar
