The vast majority of Christians grew up in a “western” culture and style of thinking. However, the Bible was written with an “eastern” culture and style of thinking. Western tends to be more about facts and logic, Eastern tends to be more about symbols and pictures. Neither is wrong, they are just different ways to convey information.
However, if you look at the Bible from a “western” perspective, you miss much of the fullness that comes with an “eastern” perspective.
The videos below will help.
I first listened to it over a decade ago. It radically change my perspective and helped me understand the Bible much better. It’s quite long, but well worth the time investment.
Disclaimer: while I love how he presents the “eastern” worldview, I definitely don’t agree with him on everything. He’s a little legalistic and we differ on several points. I would highly recommend that you listen, but listen with discernment as it relates to specifics. I suggest looking for the “big picture”; don’t miss the amazing forest for a few bad trees.

Test the spirits, many false teachers have gone into the world.
YAHWEH FATHER, YAHSHUA SON, HALLELU YAH. CALL ON YAHWEH YAHSHUA AND BE SAVED. THE LORD AND JESUS ARE FALSE. YAHSHUA MEANS YAHWEH IS SALVATION. PSALM 118 YAH IS ABBREVIATED HEBREW NAME OF YAHWEH.
CALL ON YAHWEH JOEL 2:32, ACTS 2:21 (Peter), Roman’s 1013 (Paul),
CALL ON YAHSHUA 1Cor 1:2, Acts 9:21, 9:27, NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH YAHSHUA, NO OTHER NAME BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED!
CHRISTIANITY IS FALSE FROM ORIGIN OF CHRISTOS, MESSIAH OR MASHIYAH IS ANOINTING FROM YAHWEH.
BELOVED CAN YOU SEE THE FALSE TEACHERS MUST CONTINUE IN FALSE CHRISTIANITY, THE HOUSE IS BUILT IN VAIN THAT IS NOT BUILT IN YAHWEH.
1Cor 12:3, Phil 211, YAHSHUA IS YAHWEH, 2Cor 3:17,18, YAHWEH IS RUACH HAKODESH, Deut 6:4 HEAR OH ISRAEL YAHWEH OUR ELOHIM YAHWEH IS ONE!
EZEKIEL 39:7 THE NATIONS WILL KNOW I AM YAHWEH THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL!
HALLELU YAH AND SHALOM!!!
Peter, how is Christianity ultimately false by the notion of saying his name differently? If you’re going to make bold claims please provide sufficient information
