APAKAH KITA BERENCANA UNTUK MENYAKITINYA LAGI?

“Aku adalah Alfa dan Omega, Yang Pertama dan Yang Terkemudian, Yang Awal dan Yang Akhir." Wahyu 22:13. Pembaca, tahukah kita siapa Tuhan kita? Apakah Dia Tuhan dari Perjanjian Lama, ataukah Dia Tuhan dari Perjanjian Baru? Apakah Dia Tuhan orang Yahudi atau Dia Tuhan dari orang bukan Yahudi? Saya tidak sadar bahwa bangsa yang bukan Yahudi mempunyai Tuhan yang berbeda. Mengapa? Karena hanya ada SATU Tuhan saja sejak dunia diciptakan, bukan dua. Dan Dia adalah Tuhan dari orang yang suka bekerja . Tuhan dalam Perjanjian Lama mengharuskan orang Yahudi melakukan pekerjaan berikut agar bisa diselamatkan: (2) "Akulah TUHAN, Allahmu, yang membawa engkau keluar dari tanah Mesir, dari tempat perbudakan. (3) Jangan ada padamu allah lain dihadapanKu. (4) Jangan membuat bagimu patung yang menyerupai apapun yang ada di langit di atas, atau yang ada di bumi di bawah, atau yang ada di dalam air di bawah bumi. (5) Jangan sujud menyembah kepadanya atau beribadah kepadanya, sebab Aku, TUHAN, All...

ARE WE PLOTTING TO HURT HIM AGAIN?

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, [the] Beginning and [the] End, the First and the Last." Revelation 22:13 Readers, do we know who our God is? Is He the God of the Old Testaments, or is He the God of the New Testaments? Is He the God of the Jews, or is He the God of the Gentiles? I am not aware that the Gentiles have a different God. Why? Because there is only  ONE  God since the world was created, not two. And He is the God of  work . The God of the Old Testaments requires the Jews to  do  the following work to be saved: (2) "I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. (3) "You shall have no other gods before Me. (4) "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; (5) you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniqu...

BE PREPARED

Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them." But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:5-8 . "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” Matthew 5:29-30 . Do you recognize the similarities between Genesis 6:5-8 and Matthew 5:29-30? Who do you think said those words in Genesis 6:5-8? And who do you think said those words in Matthew 5:29-30? ...

THE WILL OF THE FATHER

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. Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23. Who did Jesus say will go to  heaven? He who does the will of Jesus’ Father will go to heaven, and no one else. Who is the Father of Jesus? In order to understand who the Father of Jesus is we must know that there is only ONE God, not two or three. And Paul is not one of them. I hope none of my readers will become upset when I say Paul is not one of them. He was called, but not chosen, like many others. And so, I want to assure my readers that Jesus Christ, God the Son, God the Father, Yahweh, YHWH, Jehovah, and whatever name He is referred to in the Old and New Testam...

SICK AND TIRED

Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.” Genesis 6:5-6. Why do you think that the wickedness of man was great on the earth during Noah’s time? Was it because the world was obedient to the Lord, or was it because they were disobedient to the Lord? And who is the Lord? Do we Christians know who the Lord is? The Lord is Jesus Christ. The Lord is Jehovah. The Lord is God the Father. The Lord is God the Son. The Lord is YHWH. The Lord is Yahweh. The Lord is only ONE , not two or three. God is only ONE. Those of us who think that Jesus Christ is not the same as YHWH, or Yahweh, must first must read their Bible starting from the front, Genesis, to the end, Revelation. Read The Old Testament first, and then read the New Testament. And after that I invite them to read my article Pastor-Attorn...

BIRTHDAY

Christians all over the world are celebrating a day that is supposedly to be Jesus Christ's birthday tomorrow, December 25, 2023. Is Christ happy? Is he? I don’t think he is. Why? My daughters are also celebrating their parents' birthdays every year. They call us on Father’s day. They call us on Mother’s day. They sent us gifts and flowers. They sent us beautiful cards. They make us happy. One daughter, her husband, and her two children came to visit us in California from Las Vegas on my birthday. On the phone she always says, I love you Dad. I have no doubt that my children love me based on what they have done for me and for my wife. I thank God for giving us four wonderful daughters. We look forward every year to receive calls from our daughters, their husbands, and our many grandchildren. They call us, send us cards, flowers, gifts, and come to visit us because they love us . Jesus said in John 14, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” Do we keep His commandments? No,...

POOP-UP WINDOW

Today I want to talk with my readers about something that I have not talked about before. It’s about pop-up windows. But I call it poop-up windows. Few internet users know that downloading apps is not the only way that we can infect our computers. Clicking pop-up windows, or clicking poop-up windows can also infect our computers. What are pop-up windows? Pop-up windows are windows or pictures that suddenly show up on your screen that prevent you from moving forward to the next screen unless you click a button on the pop-up window. This, I believe, is the latest invention of hackers to infect our computers. The window comes in different sizes from a large full size screen, like a curtain, or a small patch. Watch for these items when they suddenly appear on your screen. Don't click on them, because they are poop-up windows to infect your computer. So, what do you do? What I do is turn off my router for 15-20 seconds, click on the pop-up window until it disappears so I can move for...

COMPREHENSION

Understanding what we read is very important, especially when we are reading the Bible. The Bible is not easy to understand, or to read, unless we have been trained to think as a lawyer. As I have repeatedly said, the Bible is a law book, not a comic book. For example, Jesus said "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” Matthew 5:29-30. Many Christians think that what Jesus said was a hyperbole or “comic”. Really? Jesus never joked when He talked about sin. YHWH also never jokes when He talked about sin. Only we joke when we talk about sin. Do we know what Jesus is saying in Matthew 5:29-30? Jesus implied that He will not help us if our hands cau...

GENERATIONAL CURSES

“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 20:5-6. "keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing [the guilty] , visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children to the third and the fourth generation. " Exodus 34:7.  Do my Christian readers know that the curses from God upon the fathers for their iniquity and transgression and sin can be passed on to their children for three or four generations? And don't think that these curses are for the Jews only. God created Adam and Eve, man and woman. And we are the descendants of Adam and Eve, man and woman. We are the descendants of man and woman. It has nothing to do with the Jews. God's laws apply to man and woman, Jews, Chines...

BEFORE AND AFTER

  Today I want to discuss with my readers about the time period before and after Jesus was born. What happened during that time? This subject is important for us to know. Why? Because it is history . All Christians need to know what happened before and after Jesus was born. In other words, what happened during the Old Testament time, before Jesus was born, and what happened during the New Testament time, after Jesus was born? History for me is important . Why? Because from reading the history of what happened before Jesus was born, and after Jesus was born, I can learn important lessons about how to conduct myself in relation to my God. For example, during the Old Testament we have Abraham, Moses, Daniel, Enoch, Isaiah, Noah, and other prophets who are now in heaven. But during Jesus’ time, do we know who is in heaven other than Jesus and the thief on the cross? Do you know why? Because all of the prophets in the Old Testaments feared God, whereas Jesus’ Disciples, except James an...

LAW-ABIDING

Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments” John 14:15. Do readers understand why Jesus wants us to keep His commandments only, and not the commandments of anybody else? Jesus could have said keep the commandments of His disciples as well, but He did not. Here is the reason why. "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” John 14:21-23. Jesus said that if we love Him by keeping His commandments, God will come to us and live with us . That is His personal promise. Don’t we want God to live with us when He returns? Or don’t we want to live with God when Jesus returns? Whi...

TAKE HEED THAT NONE DECEIVES US

Jesus warns us that as we are approaching the end of time Satan will use human agents to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Satan has 1,001 ways to deceive us, but we have only one way to defend ourselves against Satan, and that's the words of God. What are they? Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15. This is the only way that we can beat Satan’s deception, His commandments, and His holy words. Do you remember what were Jesus’ answers to Satan when Satan took Him to the desert to deceive Him? He said, “It is written”. Matthew 4:3-4. Woe unto the millions of Christians when the Great Tribulation comes, because they have abolished all of God’s words and commandments. They don't remember any of “It is written” phrases in their empty heads, zero! Preachers and pastors , you will be held accountable if they should lose their souls. Revelation 20:12 says, “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another boo...

THE WILL OF MY FATHER

"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. Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness! '” Matthew 7:21-23. Do we know what the will of the Father is? Yes, we do. First, He wants us to follow the law . That's what "practice lawlessness" means when we don't follow the law. He wants us to keep His commandments. John 14:15. Also, He wants us to avoid deception, and not be part of it. " Take heed that no one deceives you” . Matthew 24:4. The will of the Father is that we must be very careful and not be deceived, like Adam and Eve, and the millions of angels who followed Lucifer. Why did I say that what Jesus said in Matthew 24:4 is the will of the Father? Because if ...

SIGNS OF HIS SECOND COMING

What are the signs that tell us that Jesus is coming soon? “Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? And what [will be] the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" And Jesus answered and said to them: " Take heed that no one deceives you . "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. "But he who endures to the end shall be saved . "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. "And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. "Then if anyone says to you, `Look, here [is] Christ!' or `There...
