The Truth

  Readers, as we are nearing the end of time we don’t have much time left doing anything that is not going to bring us closer to God. We have no time burning incense, bowing down, worshiping, and idolizing anybody or anything other than God . There is a great danger if our habits include idolizing, serving, bowing down to dead objects or living objects other than God . Why? Because God said, “You shall have no other gods before Me. "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness [of anything] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, [am] a jealous God , visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth [generations] of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.   "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will no...

  God said, “And God spoke all these words, saying: "I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. "You shall have no other gods before Me. "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness [of anything] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, [am] a jealous God , visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth [generations] of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.   Exodus 20:1-6. “But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.” Revelation 9:20. God doesn’t want us to idolize anybody or anything....

  Saul of Tarsus wrote, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.“ Ephesians 2:8-9. Saul said that we are saved by faith, not by following the law. This is the easy way to get eternal life, according to Saul. Is there an easy way? We'll find out soon. “Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man...

  "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one title will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches [them], he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. “ Matthew 5:17-19. Readers, do you know why Jesus said these words about the law? He wants us to do all of them. He wants us to obey the law that His Father gives to us either directly or through His prophets. I was reading His ten commandments as I was writing this article and all of them require our obedience. Nothing is optional. God gives Adam and Eve no option either. Do it or get out. Now I can understand why Jesus said, "Therefore you shall be perfect , just as your Father in heaven is perfect....

Readers, what have we learned from going to church every week? Anything new that can make us grow spiritually? Or are we already happy hearing the same old message, offering, offering, and more offerings? Music, piano, singing, and more music. No, we should not be happy. The church should be hiring more people who can talk like Jesus. Some churches spend way too much time on certain rituals, like collecting offerings, etc. Some churches perform other rituals that the church has been doing for a thousand years or more. But they all have a common belief, the teachings of a false prophet or the serpent/snake. The snake is truly amazing. It is mentioned in the  book of Revelation 20:10, “The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet [are]. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever”  Readers, do you know how many people the beast and the false prophet(s) have deceived?  “Now when the thousand ...

  Readers, do you think that Adam and Eve knew that they would be kicked out from the Garden of Eden, suffer emotional and physical hardship, and lose eternal life as a consequence of ignoring God's will? No .  Do you think that Saul of Tarsus knew the possible consequence(s) of ignoring the will of God ? No, he did not know it either. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. “ Matthew 7:21.  Do we understand what Jesus said in Matthew 7:21? Does your pastor read and understand what Matthew 7:21 says? Saul of Tarsus doesn’t know why God gives us the Law. Adam and Eve did not know why God told them not to eat the fruit of a certain tree. But that is not our job. Our job is to obey Him. You know why? Because He has no intention of harming us. The smart thing to do is just OBEY Him, especially when we do not know why God gives us the law. Just do it ! Disobedience to God is n...

  Today I want to discuss with readers what Adam and Eve know about the law. “And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.“ Genesis 2:7. “Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." And the LORD God said, "[It is] not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: "This [is] now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall b...
