The Truth

  I am going to summarize the Bible in one article: From Genesis to Revelation. Why? Because this article, I believe, is the key to eternal life. It starts with the history of Adam and Eve. How Satan, the dragon,  deceived them to disobey God by using an agent, a snake, and as a consequence of their disobedience to God’s command, God evicted them from the Garden of Eden and took away eternal life from them. This would not happen if they had listened to God. “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden' ?" And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; "but of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, `You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.'" Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. "For...

  Readers, Jesus and God’s prophet Jeremiah have talked a lot about the false prophets. In Revelation we see a strong partnership between the beast and the false prophets. What does a false prophet do? A false prophet does the job of the beast ( SATAN ) to mislead us.  A false prophet’s job is to  mislead God’s children from following the teaching of Jesus and His Father. Where are the teachings of God the Father found? Jesus said in Matthew 5:17, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” They are found in God’s Law and in the Books that have been written by His prophets. And that takes us to the Ten Commandments. Every attempt to change the Ten Commandments, therefore, is the work of the beast ( SATAN ) and the false prophet to mislead us from the Law and the teachings of His prophets. Readers, be careful that we are not trapped by Satan, the beast, and his false prophets. In Matthew 7:15 Jesus said, "Bewar...

  “And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.”   Revelation 19:19-20. “Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is [the] Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This [is]...

  I read a statement online recently that says that every Catholic is a Christian but not every Christian is a Catholic. Why is that? Are we not reading the same Bible, or are we reading from a different Bible? If we are reading a different Bible, my next question is who is the source of that Bible, a human being or God? Why am I asking you that question? Because Jesus and His Father have warned us about false teachers and false prophets. "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. “ Mark 13:22. Jeremiah 29:8-9 says, “ For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the LORD. For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the LORD.“   God spoke in Jeremiah 23:1-40, "Woe to...

Saul of Tarsus wrote in Ephesians 2:8-9, “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.“ Saul says that we are saved by faith in God, and not because of anything that we do. He arrives at this conclusion from reading a story about the thief on the cross who is dying, and he applies the story to all. Saul wants to set this story, a rare exception, as the standard of salvation, saved by faith. This kind of reasoning is an error in reasoning, a flawed concept, that renders an argument invalid. Why? Because we are not thieves on the cross who are dying. Jesus said in Matthew 7:21, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. “ Matthew 7:21 is the standard of salvation. Luke 23:39-43 applies only to the thief on the cross. They do not apply to 99.99% of Christians. Matthew 7:21, however, apply...

Readers, we already know there is no saving power in the thief on the cross, none. It was a misunderstanding. Now I am going to show to you that there's no saving power in the cross either. A cross can save no one. What then can save us? 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. There is no saving power in the cross. The saving power comes when we listen to Jesus , the Man who was once crucified on the cross, and when we do what He says. Remember the Lord’s prayer? “ Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, [that] one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples." So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom comes. Your will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven.” Luke 11:1-2. Whose will be done ? The will of Go...
