The Truth

  Readers, we don’t know why God gives us the Ten Commandments. And in my attempts to explain to my readers that we don’t know why God gives us the Ten Commandments, or why Jesus gives us His commandments, I may have used words that may offend some of my readers. Please accept my apology. Signed, Grumpy Old Man  😄

      “And He said, "Who told you that you [were] naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?" Then the man said, "The woman whom You gave [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate." And the LORD God said to the woman, "What [is] this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." Genesis 3:11-13. ”Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever" therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.“ Genesis 3:22-24. Here is a short introduction from the Bible giving the reason why Adam and Eve lost eternal life. They ...

    “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.” Jeremiah 29:8-9.  “And the LORD said to me, "The prophets' prophecy lies in My name. I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart”. Jeremiah 14:14. Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; They speak a vision of their own heart, Not from the mouth of the LORD. The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you will understand it perfectly. "I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, 'I have dreamed...

“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding 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. And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then [I saw] the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image , and had not received [his] mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And  they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection. Blessed and holy [is] he who has part in the first resurr...

  Readers, I want to write about a topic that I feel is very important for everyone to know and understand why we have laws in every country. Laws are necessary to rule our behavior. Everywhere we go we have different laws that govern our daily behavior, except in the church. The law in church is the law of faith. According to Saul of Tarsus, “ 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. Now, let's look at Adam and Eve. Did they have faith? No. Did they have work? No. God took eternal life from them not because they have no faith, but because they have no work. They disobeyed God. They ignored the law. I hope that all of my readers can understand that ignoring the law can have serious consequences.  Many of my friends died in their sixties. They eat too much food. They violated health laws. Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, belie...

  Readers, has it ever crossed your mind that God demands total obedience from us? Nature totally obeys Him. When He created the world all what He had to do was to issue a command, and things happened immediately. “Let there be light” and there was light, instantly.  The serpent/snake, representing the "false prophet/false apostle", 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 God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." So when the woma...

  Readers, do you know why Jesus said, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill . “Matthew 5:17.  In John 14:15 Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.“ In Matthew 7:21 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.“ Jesus wants us to keep His commandments so we can live with Him in heaven because we love for Him. And when we do what He wants us to do, the law is fulfilled. The Ten Commandments law is fulfilled when we do what He wants us to do, and not when Jesus died on the cross. No . The law is fulfilled when we complied with the requirements of the law. We have various laws in the United States of America. When is the law fulfilled? Not when the lawmakers died. The law is fulfilled when we fully comply with the law. God’s moral laws do not have any expiration dates. The Ten Commandments is a moral l...
