I thank you all for your immense help and encouragement in keeping me moving forward in this work

52 Essentials of the Messianic Faith is a course that was written by Donald Hunt and that it is intended to take the bible believer through the scriptures and will help in identifying what it means to be a Bible fundamentalist it is a Course that is intended to be taken one, lesson per week and will through the course of a year give the Bible student the pyres of truth that is sank into the foundation of the messiah, the messiah being the foundation of our faith and that when studied will give the student a thorough working knowledge of the basics of the scriptures and will give the student the relevant passages so that the Bible can be used in showing how to deal with in the field of evangelism, it will also help in locating the correct passages for this work and it is my intension to present this material which I came across in 1984 and it has been an indispensible tool for that purpose,

The Bible is as its name indicates, is truly the Book of books its truth is ever new, it depths ever a challenge to the conscientious student, its purpose ever to bless and help the obedient, its study ever rewarding. Without its light men stumble in darkness; without its truth men are bound in error after error, without its strength, men are unutterably weak, without its Messiah men build upon another foundations, made of sand, when the bible has been studied discussed taught and preached the body of the messiah has been pure glorious and powerful. When the bible has been neglected the world had fought and home life has crumbled, souls have perished, errors of all types have crept into religion, and sin has triumphed. Since the history of salvation is in the Bible since we have come to Yeshua through its divine message since it is that which imparts spiritual power to us in this present time and since it is the body of the Messiahs task to proclaim its message to the ends of the earth, whatever aids men to a greater understanding of and an appreciation for the Holy scriptures should be more than commonly received

This is the sole purpose of these 52 lessons from a considerate reading of the table of contents, it can be seen that these lessons cover much material and many Biblical subjects. There are evidential lessons proving the divinity of the Bible, and of Yeshua. There is a lesson devoted to YHVH, and one to the devil. In three lessons a general view of the whole Bible is given. There are four lessons devoted to the Holy Spirit. There are three lessons on the great commission there are lessons on the body of the messiah there are lessons on the plan of salvation, there are lessons on the life of the Bible believer there are lessons on great themes such as the covenants, blood sacrifices sin death Yeshua second coming and hell besides other, truly there is a wealth of rich material packed into these 52 lessons.

Now just a note from the author for the Bible believer and a short word about the history behind this work and its lessons a little more than four years ago from 1979 and onwards the author began to write lessons and mail them out to high schools for young people who desired a better knowledge of the Bible, looking forward to their service for the Messiah following high school graduation. When others began to learn of these lessons they also desired them. So the author put out an announcement or two about them and it was the authors wish that this material be put out and so began offering them to the general public. Although the sale of these was not pushed a heartening response was seen in the number ordered. But with thirty lessons as then yet available were printed the work came to a standstill. The press of duties in the work of the Messiah demanded that the time forbade the completion of this work to the 52 lessons that you now see laid out before you during this time. Instead of completing the series by the multith printing process and in view of the great worth attached to these lessons by those who now have the first 37 lessons in their possession it was decided to publish the whole series in the present permanent form. The author anticipated a wide sale and a blessed use for them in the kingdoms work.

I am posting this martial now on this page in the hope that this work will not go unstudied.

So I hope that you the reader will follow the lesson each week and will gain a rich blessing by this and for those who follow this I hope that we will be able to gain a deeper online fellowship that truly honors Yeshua and build a fuller understand of what it means to call one self a Bible fundamentalist and this is by way of an announcement that from this Wednesday 10/08/2016 (08/10/2016 US Date System) I will take you through the study series and a few amendments will be made to reflect the change that I perceive that is going on with regards to replacement theology which I the postee believes is the most dangerous theology that is still being propagated today (All Quotes and Biblical passages are from the AV 1611 King James Bible)

A thing is said to be divine when it originates with YHVH when YHVH is responsible for it

Part 1: Lesson 1

YHVH is a being he possesses all wisdom and intelligence. He not only sees our needs and knows the remedy, but He is a YHVH who desires to communicate to man the things necessary to salvation, knowing these things we can expect that YHVH would speak to us

Yes YHVH has spoken. But how has He spoken? To whom has He spoken? Has YHVH appeared in the sky and spoken directly to us? Surely we realize that He hasnt. Does God come to every person on earth and in some unknown manner place his word of knowledge and understanding into our heart? Again we know that he hasnt

Then how has YHVH spoken to us? Instead of speaking to us directly from heaven or mysteriously speaking to each of us YHVH has chosen certain persons from among men and has spoken to the masses through these chosen few.

(1) YHVH spoke

(2) To the fathers

(3) and to us, But how did he speak to the fathers and to us? By the prophets and by His Son so instead of speaking to every man directly YHVH chose certain men and spoke to the rest through them
