The Truth

I want to talk a little bit this morning about the good thief on the cross. I know I have written a couple of articles in which I have mentioned about the thief on the cross, but I do not remember if I have written anything about the difference between what the good thief on the cross did that saved him but may not save us because of our defiant nature. This difference was so great that Jesus decided to take the good thief to heaven and allow Satan to take us with him to hell. And it has nothing to do with what the thief had done in his past, but it has a lot to do with what we are doing now. But first I want to give you this text, and I want you to read this text closely until you fully understand what Jesus said here. Read a couple more times if you are still confused. 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 p...

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. Readers, I am sure you have seen this text a dozen times or more. And some of you may wonder why you are seeing this text from me one more time. Well, I write what the Spirit tells me to write. He gives me the idea of what to write, and when to write. Without Him telling me what to do, I can do nothing. Today I am going to analyze this text in detail to help my readers understand the deeper meaning of this text. First, I will start with the known facts that are given in this verse. From there on we are going to develop a logical conclusion. Here are the facts that w...

I want to leave a message for my readers and apologize because I cannot connect with them through the various social media groups they have requested. Why? Because I don’t know them. And I cannot risk the security of my computer. Thank you for understanding. Satan and hackers, Pagan and Christian hackers, are working around the clock to make sure that my message about serving two masters will never reach you. What is the message about? Jesus said, " No one can serve two masters ; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24. Christians have been serving two masters, Jesus and Paul. Jesus' message is that Christians follow His law. Paul's message is that Christians don't follow His law. Many Christians have been following Paul's contradictory teachings because they are convenient and easy to follow, and Jesus' teachings are not. Christians believe tha...

A lawyer asked [Him a question], testing Him, and saying, "Teacher, which [is] the great commandment in the law?" Jesus said to him, "`You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' "This is [the] first and great commandment.” Matthew 22:35-38  Readers, do you know what this text is telling us? Jesus is telling us that we have to give everything to Him. He is our priority in our life, and no one else. We can give no commitment to other people other than Jesus. Do you understand, my dear readers? If you do, you have made me very happy. Why? Because you are smart. In fact, I am proud of my smart readers, very proud. Okay, let us move on. Jesus also said, "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24. Do my readers understand what Jesus is saying here? Jesus said th...

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 nama-Mu, mengusir setan-setan dengan nama-Mu, dan melakukan banyak keajaiban dengan nama-Mu?' Dan kemudian Aku akan menyatakan kepada mereka: 'Aku tidak pernah mengenal kamu; enyahlah dari pada-Ku, kamu yang melakukan pelanggaran hukum!'” Matius 7:21-23. Pembaca, saya yakin Anda telah melihat teks ini belasan kali atau lebih. Dan beberapa dari Anda mungkin bertanya-tanya mengapa Anda melihat teks dari saya ini sekali lagi. Baiklah, saya menulis apa yang Roh suruh saya tulis. Dia memberi saya ide tentang apa yang harus saya tulis, dan kapan waktunya harus saya tulis. Tanpa pencerahan-Nya, saya tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa. Hari ini saya akan menganalisis teks ini secara rinci untuk membantu pem...

And some of you may wonder why you are seeing this text from me one more time. Well, I write what the Spirit tells me to write. He gives me the idea of what to write, and when to write. Without His enlightenment, I can do nothing. Today I am going to analyze this text in detail to help my readers understand the deeper meaning of this text.

Readers, are you aware that God the Father, or God the Son, has made available to us more than one plan of salvation? Here are the different plans:  Plan 1 . "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 perishes, 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. This plan is designed for stubborn Christians, those who think that they know all when in fact they know nothing or little about God’s plan of salvation other than following Paul’s plan! And Paul’s plan, as all of us already know is to defy God’s plan, just like Adam, Eve, and Lucifer. There is no Bible for them to read. Even if there is one,  they could not fully understand what they read. And the reason why they don’t fully u...

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14. “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life.” 1 John 1:1. Readers, I want to ask you a very simple question. Based on what you have read from the above verses, was Jesus of Nazareth a human being, or was He God? The Bible says, “And the Word became flesh.” In other words, Jesus Christ was a human being when He was on earth. He was not God, right? Let me ask you the next question. Was that the reason why we abolished the Holy Words of Jesus, the “ Word [that] became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14; because He was not God, we ignored Him, and we then followed Paul. As I recalled, Jesus called Paul ...

While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's [house], saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher." But when Jesus heard [it], He answered him, saying, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well." When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping." And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead. But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, "Little girl, arise." Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately . And He commanded that she be given [something] to eat. And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.” Matthew 8:49-56. Jesus said the dead is not dead, but sleeping; "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well...
