LET'S GET IT STRAGHT

We all agree that during the OT time, under YHWH, many souls were saved, and millions, or billions of others were destroyed during the big flood. Also, I believe that the majority of the 144,000 saved described in Revelation 14:3 occurred during the OT period. Am I sure? Yes, I am very sure! And here is my explanation.  Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15. Do Christians keep His commandments? No. Do preachers and pastors teach their members and church visitors to keep God’s commandments? NO, they do not! They teach people to abolish God’s commandments and forget about them. Do you think Jesus will include those who don’t keep His commandments, and those who don’t love Him, among the 144,000? No, He will not! Brothers and Sisters. I want to ask you this question. When Jesus returns, who will Jesus save? Will He save the law-abiding Jews who believe in Yahweh and keep His commandments, or will He save the Christians who believe in Jesus but refused to kee...

BRAINWASHED

Jesus said, "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive , if possible, even the elect .” Matthew 24:11,24. How do we know that they are false teachers? How do we know that they are false prophets? Jesus said, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits . Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. Therefore by their fruits, you will know them .” Matthew 7:15-17,20. Jesus says that inwardly they are ravenous wolves, talking about the false teachers and false prophets. Outwardly they look and behave like a good decent Christian. So, how can we know that inwardly they are ravenous wolves? By their words Bro, by their words . That’s how these false teachers and prophets deceive the ve...

SISWA KESELAMATAN

  Pagi ini saya akan menulis tentang topik yang saya yakin belum pernah saya tulis sebelumnya. Saya akan mencoba menulis sejelas mungkin agar tidak ada yang salah paham. Topiknya berjudul Siswa Keselamatan. Apa itu Siswa Keselamatan? Izinkan saya menjelaskannya seperti ini. Seorang Siswa Keselamatan dapat disamakan dengan Siswa Perawat. Seorang mahasiswa keperawatan bukanlah seorang Perawat sampai dia lulus dari sekolah keperawatan. Seorang mahasiswa kedokteran belum menjadi Dokter sampai ia lulus dari sekolah kedokteran. Seorang pelajar keselamatan belum diselamatkan sampai Yesus mengatakan bahwa dia telah diselamatkan. Apakah Anda mengikuti saya sejauh ini? Jika ya, bagus! Oke, mari kita lanjutkan. Yesus bersabda, “Bukan setiap orang yang berseru kepada-Ku, 'Tuhan, Tuhan', yang akan masuk ke dalam kerajaan surga, melainkan dia yang melakukan kehendak Bapa-Ku di surga. Banyak orang akan berkata kepada-Ku pada hari itu, 'Tuhan, Tuhan, bukankah kami telah bernubuat dengan na...

SALVATION STUDENT

This morning I am going to write about a topic that I believe I have never written before. I will try to write as clearly as I can so that no one misunderstands me. The topic is entitled Salvation Student. What is a Salvation Student? Let me explain it this way. A Salvation Student can be likened to a Nursing Student. A nursing student is not a Nurse until she or he graduates from the nursing school. A medical student is not a Doctor until he or she graduates from a medical school. A salvation student is not saved until Jesus says that he or she is saved. Do you follow me so far? If you do, great! Okay, let us move on.  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 M...

FEAR NOT

  Jesus said, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28. God tells us that we should not fear those who can kill our body but not our soul. But fear Him who can kill both our body and our soul in hell. What is Jesus saying here? Let me explain. When we die, our body returns to dust. We came from dust on the ground, and we returned to dust. We know this. But where is our soul? Where does our soul go after we die? Where? Does the soul float somewhere near our graves? Or does it go back to God? I believe that both body and soul stay on earth after we die. They don’t go to heaven unless God invited them to heaven, such as His prophets, and a few others. When Jesus returns, He decides who goes to hell and who goes to heaven. Those who go to hell will suffer painful death . Jesus said, you will hear weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:42. This is unusual because when the body i...

SALVATION SIMPLIFIED

  What is salvation? My simple definition of salvation is to restore the eternal life that we have lost because Adam and Eve have sinned. What is sin? Sin is the transgression of God’s will. When God created Adam and Eve the original intention was that Adam and Eve would have a permanent relationship with God. God however, revoked the permanent relationship with man because Adam and Eve did not do what God had told them to do. They were disobedient to God. Because they disobeyed God both were evicted from the Garden of Eden. They both lost eternal life. Salvation was taken away from them because they did not do the will of God. 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. And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23. Jesus rejected these men/women of great faith from entering the kingdom of heaven because the...

MICKEY MOUSE

An offering is a voluntary gift. No one offers an offering when he is forced to offer an offering, no one. Except in the case of Jesus. He was forced to walk to Golgotha against His will. That’s why I find it hard to believe that He would willingly offer His life for millions of Christians who made fun of Him by trampling on His holy commandments. Have you read in the Old Testament about anybody who abolished God’s holy words? Have you read in the OT about anybody who even dares to change God’s laws and commandments? I have not. They respected their YHWH, and they feared their God. I know that if they dare to change God's words, they'll be buried alive . In America, no one feared Jesus, no one respected Jesus. Few respected the police, and few, if any, respected the law. Christians treat Jesus as a Mickey Mouse character. That’s why I find it hard to believe that Jesus Christ would die for Christians who treated Him like a Mickey Mouse character, and not like a King. Look and ...

THE NATURE AND CHARACTER OF JESUS

  Few pastors, preachers, and teachers, if any, know the true nature and character of Jesus Christ. For example, do pastors and preachers know the nature and character of Jesus? I doubt they know. I knew Him a long time ago when I read this, ”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. 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." Genesis 6:5-7. That was during Noah’s time, millennia ago. When Jesus came to earth later this is what he said to His disciples, "The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil.” John 7:7.  Jesus said in Matthew 5:29-30, "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck ...

FORGET ABOUT CHURCH

God of the Jews, God of the Gentiles, God of the people who go to church every Sunday, every Saturday, and every day says, "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 is this God? Do we know Him? Who is His Father? Do we know Him? Yes, we know Him. The Gentiles called Him Jesus Christ. The Jews called Him Yahweh. The Indonesians called Him Tuhan Allah. He is known by different names in different countries. But, whatever Name He is known by the people of each country, the majority of  Christians disrespect Him since the Jews beat Him and crucified Him on the cross. They abolished and flushed all of His laws...

WHY MUST WE BE PERFECT?

"Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. ” Matthew 5:48. Why must we be perfect? Why did God of the New Testaments say that we shall be perfect? Do you know why? If you don't know, don't worry. I believe millions of Christians don’t know the answer either. In fact, another one billion more Christians are laughing at me for suggesting that we can be perfect. Go ahead, laugh as long as they want, or as loud as they want. I don’t care. We do not care! I believe that the primary reason why God wants us to be perfect is so that we can know what God’s will is. God wants us to be perfect so that we can understand what the will of God is. He has secrets that He wants to share with us. But unless we are perfect as Daniel, Moses, Enoch, Job, and His other prophets in the Old Testaments, He will share nothing with us! Why? Because we are not ready to receive and understand His secrets. Look at these billions of Christians of today. They think that...

MILLIONS ARE CONFUSED

"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide [is] the gate and broad [is] the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow [is] the gate and difficult [is] the way which leads to life , and there are few who find it .” Matthew 7:13-14. God of the New Testaments says that the road to heaven is narrow and difficult, and only a few can find it. Brothers and Sisters, have you ever driven on a road in the mountains that is narrow and tortuous? I have when I was driving my private taxi in Indonesia many decades ago. I thank God that He prevented me from making a sudden wrong turn at one of the blind intersections that could have resulted in my car going off a steep cliff. Another reason why it is difficult to find the narrow road to heaven is this. "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15. False teachers and false preachers make it difficult for everyone to find the truth. T...
