DEBUNKING RALPH BETHEA

Well it seems that Ralph Bethea continues to lead people away from Yahuah, but that may be my opinion, below you will see my argument and you make up your mind. He is endorsing this as the primary website.

In an email to a sister (we were cc’d in), the two who are responsible for the
website said this:

“We have developed a website and we are not sure if you have visited it
yet or not. Our website is http://www.yasarel.net and Brother RaphAH

this is the
YAHUWans' primary website…. “
 
Ralph Bethea is responsible for the Word of Yah, which he says that in 2002 in Iraq he found these scrolls which have now become the Word of Yah. 
Of course the story as to how they were found have changed over the
course of the years, and though there are those that ask him to prove his find,
he has yet to provide any proof of their existence, other than to say “you have
to take his word on faith”, which goes against Scripture, saying to “test the
spirits”.

 
He is a man of doublespeak and really is the definition of a false teacher, but you
be the judge of that.



From the website in the FAQ section:
 Q:
Are you a cult?

 A:
NO.
YAsarel does not fit the definition of a cult in any fashion
.
According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, a cult is defined as: (1) formal
religious veneration, (2) a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also
: its body of adherents; (3) a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious;
also: its body of adherents; (4) a system for the cure of disease based
on dogma set forth by its promulgator <health cults>; (5)
great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book);
especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad
b : the object of such devotion c : a usually small group of
people characterized by such devotion.
 


Ralph emphatically states that his followers use only the Word of Yah, that there can be nothing else that is as inerrant as this book. 
Oddly enough, one can compare this book to any other bible and will see
that there really is nothing different from it than say the King
James
Bible, except for the use
of the sacred names and his commentary that he uses liberally throughout the
Word of Yah that he passes off as Scripture.  Of course he takes credit for finding
those names.  But in keeping with
the above definition, this group then can only be called a
“CULT”.
 

According to Ralph there is only him and his group, but let’s proceed with his arguments as to why we are hypocrites and play word games.


 “Word Games and Hypocrites
 The enemy often uses what is called “word games” to fight against the Word of YAH
which you proclaim to them, and in order to recognize if someone is doing this,
there are several characteristics which are common to these people which you
should be able to identify. One tactic is circumventing questions posed by you,
and by doing this the person is trying to make statements which on the surface
might suffice but are actually made as part of trying to avoid answering
questions you ask them, especially those which either attack a sacrosanct or
“sacred cow” doctrine (teachings with which it is deemed “heretical” to
question).”    
 
I can tell you from experience, having once been in this group, that the only
person who uses the tactic of circumventing questions is Ralph. 
Many of us have asked questions and not just about proof of his “find”
but other questions about Scripture or even Enoch’s calendar, which I can attest
to the fact that he is quite wrong about, but he always manages to go off
subject.
 
“A second frequently used tactic is stonewalling, in which the person refuses to
answer your question at all, even after you ask for an answer multiple
times.”   
Yet another tactic that Ralph uses, instead he will prattle on about things that
have nothing to do with your question as well as refusing to answer anything in
the context of what you have posed.  
 
Check out this South African blog site:

 http://elim.co.za/wp/the-quest-for-the-original-scriptures/

 If you go to the Aug 5 2011 of this blog, you can see an example
of Ralph.  Instead of using thisforum to be a good representative of YAHUAH and answer the questions that have been asked thus far, he curses and goes out of his way not to address any of the important questions posed but embarrasses himself and the community of YAHUANS with his prideful, petty and mean spirited attitude. Where would we be if Yahusha had done this instead of delivering His sermon on the mount? Just blasting the Pharisees and Sadducees as opposed to using the time to TEACH and REACH the people? YAHUSHA is our example. The other responses were very kind and although we don’t agree with them on the pronunciation of the name, they, by their actions were an outstanding example of how to conduct ourselves in debate on the Scriptures. The whole blog is quite good to read.

Ralph does not produce good fruit.
 
  “Another tactic frequently used is  deliberate wording and phrasing with the intention of instigating a debate over words, which is warned against in the Word of YAH. As an aside, these people generally like to have the last word even if you have already decided to
terminate discussion with them, due to pride.” 

Only Ralph likes to have the last word, check out Jeff Benner’s
site:
 http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/9_distributors.html
 
 
" The first way for you to determine if someone is playing word games is to ask
yourself if the person is answering your questions or not. This should be your
mindset when reading or hearing a response from someone who is opposing
something you are saying to them from the Word of YAH, or demanding proofs and
acting no differently than the Pharisees, who constantly demanded signs from
YAHUW and still did not believe in Him.”   

What I find fascinating about this is that they would have you believe that they are
in the same category as Yahusha.  Again, Scripture tells us to test the spirits, there is nothing about this group that would lead one to believe that we are to believe everything from
the Word of Yah, that we could not ask a question about what they are
using.  If that’s the case, then they are no different than a Catholic priest who told their congregation that they didn’t need to read Scripture; they would tell them what they needed to
know.
 
"There have been and still are several people who constantly demand proof of the ROS
scrolls from the Kingdom of YAH and these individuals and groups are no less
hypocrites than the Pharisees of old, and while some Christians are like this,
it is no surprise that the vast majority of these are from the Messianic and
full Yehudi of“Yisrael”.”   
 
Why is that we can look at all the other old manuscripts and documents to prove our
Scriptures?  Again, we’re Pharisees
because we ask a“human” to produce their find, a find that Ralph says is too
valuable for any eyes to see because either (1) he would be arrested for
stealing antiquities or (2) people would try to steal it from him. 
More doublespeak, but here’s the definition of a
hypocrite:


 1  A person who puts on a false appearance of virtue
or religion 
2  A person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings 
 
1John
4:1

 Beloved ones, do not believe every spirit,
but prove the spirits, whether they are of Aloah, because many false prophets
have gone out into the world.


2Peter
2:1

But there also came to be false prophets
among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall
secretly bring in destructive heresies, and deny the Master who bought  them, bringing swift destruction on
themselves.


 
This apparently is the groups “instruction manual” for how to
witness to others, however, what is interesting is that it’s hard to determine
who is really playing the word games. 
It’s also apparent that for this group, there is a time limit on witnessing , which is what this looks like  happened during an attempt to witness:

 "The main checkpoints to determine if someone is playing word games are whether
your questions are being answered or not, and/or if someone is demanding a
proof, sign, etc. If either of these are being done, look to quickly identify
how the person is trying to go about doing this, and this is where it is
important for you to recognize tactics used in word games. These people want to
argue with you, and seek to do so in various ways.

Here are some examples of identifiers of someone who seeks to play word games: 
 
1. Not Answering Questions. A YAHUWan asks: “Are you going to do what
the Master says one must do to have eternal life or are you going to keep doing
what has been taught to you and that which you have inherited that is not
correct?” No adequate response to this question was provided even after five
attempts at the person to answer the question. (1) “By
receiving the Lord Jesus Christ in faith as personal Savior, one is "born again"
in the Spirit of God.”–
This typical Baptist answer did not answer the question about what the Master
said one must do, even from the Bibles. (2) No response. (3) “I
have done what the Lord Jesus Christ requires for salvation. Romans 10:9-10 says
"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart
that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart
that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess
and are saved." I have confessed publicly that Jesus is Lord, and believe in my
heart that God raised him from the dead. The Bible clearly says, therefore I am
saved. So yes, I have done what Jehovah God says I must do to be
saved.”–
This still did not answer the question. 
(4) No response. (5) No response. “   

These people are no different than the Baptist they denigrate.
 I’ve always found that when witnessing, one explains how they came to Yahuah, their testimony, this is nothing more than an example of badgering without offering anything that is any different than what many are already in to.

 
 
"2  Demanding Signs and/or Proof. “In
closing, if ____ does show the evidence of the scrolls (based on what has
happened I would doubt anything __ produces at first unless it can be analyzed
thoroughly), I would be humble and admit I was wrong”(D.G.).
– This person has the spirit of the Pharisees (MtYA.
12:39 & 16:4
),  demanding proof and even if this one saw it there would still be no belief. Anyone demanding proof concerning the ROS scrolls has not done adequate study in the
Word of YAH, the King’s Covenant, because the RUWach bears witness of the true
Word. There is no excuse for anyone who does not do due diligence in personal
study and such people automatically disqualifies themselves from what they
demand. Wisdom indeed is cleansed from sin by the children she produces (MtYA. 11:19).”
 
 It's interesting that they use this as an example of someone who does not believe
 their doctrine only shows that this group thinks of themselves as if they were
 YAHUSHA.  Unless this group has supernatural powers, if they cannot prove their claims, then I will not believe it!! Since Ralph cannot prove his find of these texts, then I think that theses scriptures fits best:


Amos
8:12
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east – they shall
diligently search, seeking the Word of Yahuah, but they shall not find
it.

And to further show the pride and arrogance of Ralph and this group who think that
they should not have to prove their claims these Scriptures should prove a
point:



1Kings
10:1
And the sovereigness of Sheba heard the report of Solomon concerning the Name of
Yahuah, and came to try him with hard questions.

2Chronicles
9:1-2
And the sovereigness of Sheba heard of the report of Solomon, and came to
Yarushalayim to try Solomon with hard questions, with a very great company, and
camels bearing spices, and much gold, and precious stones. 
And she came to Solomon, and she spoke with him about all that was in her heart. 
And Solomon answered all her questions.  And there was no matter hidden for
Solomon which he did not make known to her.
 
In closing this group is very adept at trying to marginalize other people or groups
as well as the name calling that Ralph is famous for, but also the only people
circumventing questions are Ralph and his cult.  They treat us as the enemy, but we are not their adversary, Shatan is!!


We pray that those who have been deceived will wake up and come and serve Yahuah the Almighty and Him alone, not some human, whose flagrant disregard for the truth should not be even considered a“word from “Yahuah.

Hi D'lorah and Tina (website authors). First, I bless you even though you accuse me of many false hoods without ever asking me directly. Is that from YAHUWsha or just your ego? Yasarel.net is not my website. That is a lie. The Word of YAH has always stated that it is an imperfect translation of the ROS text. You know we use all available manuscripts but this fact doesn't fit your slander that Rapha demands only the Word of YAH. You used our webinar attendee list to have a secret meeting to accuse me of building a real estate empire. Over a hundred YAHUWans left fellowshipping with each other because of your lie. It is public record that I have given every single piece of property (10) to the Kingdom of YAH. I own nothing. I paid for the property with my own money, not offerings, yet I still gave 100% of what i had worked 50 years for to the Kingdom, yet you still slander me and the only ancient Scripture that does not demean women like the Jewish-Catholic texts do. You advocate a god who kills children by promoting the Jewish god. You call us AmericAHn YAdi of YAsarel a "cult" while we alone stand for womens freedom. We are fervently anti slavery while you blaspheme YAHUWAH's Name by Jewish Scriptures that sanctify slavery. Why the lies ladies? Read the second to last warning in Scripture, Rev 22:16ff. All liars are outside the gates. Its your choice. Blessings, Rapha
PS- lets see if you have the integrity to even allow my comments!

Ralph, just stop. Let's be clear, the problem you have with this page is that it connects your past interactions with other people, in other countries into one area. All of the lies, exaggerations,and stories you have spun through the last 10 years are collated here. Now that you have another book to sell, you want to attack Dee and Tina to conceal the evidence of what you actually did in the past.

The REAL problem Ralph, is not this page but your past.There is a LONG trail of people from the 1980's forward that have met you, heard your story, believed you, invested in your 'ministry', and purchased your products (book of Acts, Word of Yah, etc.) just to find out they had been lied to and scammed. Those people talk to one another share their experiences they had with you. With that kind of history, evidence starts to catch up to you and it gets harder hide.

Perhaps you should amend that history instead of constantly concealing it. In this internet age, where most things can be easily found and rarely removed, its only going to get harder for you to hide. Matthew 5:21-26.

Well I see Ralph has finally decided to respond, and it's interesting. Ralph, you continue to be the liar that you've always been and as usual you lied about that webinar -- there was never any secret, and we proved out point. There are many that are still waiting on that "book" your promised if your 7 X7 scam. And if you actually studied Scripture like you think you've done then perhaps your comments about Yahuah would be LESS laughable than they are. Of course we will allow your comments to stay here, because we know just how WRONG you are about yourself as well as your NEW AND apparently by you, a new view of Yahuah.

Ralph, we have had many discussions with you privately, but you are still as the Pharaoh with an stubborn and unyielding heart. We did not have a "secret meeting", you were invited to the webinar with the elders, (of whom we already knew the emails), not off your list, but you chose not come on. If after looking at the presentation-(which we did send to you afterward) based on actually documents which were shown, caused YOU to loose followers, that was their decision to make based on tangible facts and perhaps personal dealings with you. Even in your response you can not keep from accusing us of falseness. Clearly it says that right at the top of the page, who the two are responsible for the website and it was not you- you just touted it as the YAHUWan's primary website and you endorsed it.

The difference between all the other manuscripts and your ROS is that all the others actually exist. Yours has never seen the light of day just like the text the Mormon's base their "religion" on. The other manuscripts may be flawed but they are in fact tangibly real. It is you, who have used Yahuah's name to lure people to you and when they find out the truth about you and your "amazing find", they leave you. Most however will never leave Yahuah. And for those that did leave Yahuah, that is sadly on your conscience. There are those that continue to pray for you. But you are still using titles such as "god" -the idol of money when speaking of Yahuah. Yahuah says: Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone." Hosea 4:17 Yah always gives great advice. That is what we and the others we have sited above recommend others do regarding you as well. You obviously do not believe (or hope) that the potter has any right to take vengeance on the clay. That is poisonous teaching for people who need to repent and turn around back to Yahuah.

So in closing this is what Yahuah has to say, because your or our opinions do not matter. Only what Yahuah says:
YahshaYahu (Isaiah) 47:3Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet you as a man.
I trust and believe Yahuah. I am not afraid of His truth nor shining a light on those who corrupt His name and character.
