DO I BELIEVE?

Readers, do I believe that Jesus has died to pay for my sins? No, I do not. Why? Because millions of Christians all over the world don’t believe it either. If they do, they would not treat Jesus like crap . They treat the apostle Paul much better. They treat him as their Shepherd. They follow him but not Jesus. They follow Jesus only with their lips, but not in action. Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice , and I know them, and they follow Me . And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28. Jesus said He gave eternal life to His sheep who hear Him and follow Him . But Christian preachers all over the world teach that we don't have to follow Jesus to be saved? Just believe that we will be saved , and we will be saved. They don't have to do anything other than believe? Really? How do we know that they don't have to do anything? That's a lie! They have to do something, and that is to do ...

WHO ARE WE GLORIFYNG?

The apostle Paul says that we cannot be saved by our work, but saved by the grace of God through faith. “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. Satan agrees with what Paul says. And Satan’s human agents promptly abolished all of God’s laws and commandments so that there is nothing that we can do to glorify God’s name. What has He done to us to deserve our humiliation? Because He has died to pay for our sins, was that why we must humiliate Him? Jesus says, " You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. " You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. "Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all [who are] in the house. " Let your light so s...

FOLLOWERS

Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions ; if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I went to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, [there] you may be also.” John 14:1-3. Readers, when was the last time that you read about Jesus’ plan to return and bring us back with Him to heaven? How would you feel when you hear that? Would you not be excited? I am extremely happy knowing that He would come back to pick me up so that I may live with Him forever. What an honor. I have no words to describe how happy I am when I meet Him. He has watched and taken care of me since I was a baby, throughout my young adult years, and now in my old age. He was always with me. He is always with me. But I don’t always know why He does that when I think of how often I have disappointed Him. Readers, Jesus said there are many v...

SALVATION BY GRACE

Christians say that we are saved by the grace of God. It is a free gift from God. We don’t have to do anything to receive that gift. I say if that is true why is it that of the millions of souls that perished during the big flood only Noah saw grace in the eyes of the Lord. Genesis 6:8. Christians say that the reason why millions or billions of souls perished during the big flood is because they don’t believe in God. Paul said, “ 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. Paul said that to receive the gift of salvation we have to have faith. 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 in 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 decla...

INTENTION

Readers, are you aware that intention leads to action? Without intention to do anything we will not do anything. I want to ask readers who have abolished all of God’s commandments. What was your intention when you abolished God’s commandments? Was it to glorify God’s name, or was it to circumvent God’s commandments and to humiliate God? I have Buddhist friends and Muslim friends. I asked them if they changed the Buddhist teaching or the teaching of Islam. And they all laughed. They say that they become Buddhists or Muslims because they believe and accept the teachings of Buddha and the teachings of the prophet Muhammad. That makes lots of sense. Regarding these Christians people they are different than the Muslims and the Buddhists. Christians become Christians after they have changed the teachings of Jesus Christ and Yahweh. But they still call themselves Christians. Isn’t that weird? Jesus has mentioned these Christians in the Bible’s prophecy. Jesus said, "Do not think that I...

IDOLS

God said, "You shall have no other gods before Me. "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; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. 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,” Exodus:20:3-5. Readers, do you know that Exodus 20:3-5 is one of God’s commandments that says that we should worship and obey Him only, and no one else or anything else? In fact, I believe that it is our most important obligation to God, to idolize Him only , to worship Him only, and no one else. The details of His commandments are so clearly described that no one can misunderstand, even if translated into other languages and read by people where the different languages are being spoken. In short, God doesn't want us to serve two mas...

IS IT TRUE THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS POINT TO CHRIST’S DEATH?

Many, if not most of the newly baptized Christians believe that the Ten Commandments point to Christ's death, and after Jesus died the laws also died with Him. Isn't that weird? Take, for example, the 7th commandment, "You shall not commit adultery." What does this law have to do with Jesus' death? Take another example, the 8th commandment, "You shall not steal." Again, what does this law have to do with whether Jesus Christ is still alive or not? Christians learned about this principle (nonsense) from their Bible teachers . And their Bible teachers learned it from the writings of the apostle Paul. I am beginning to believe that these Biblical scholars are weird people who study too much and too long to get their Master and Doctorate degrees. Do you remember this story in the Bible? "Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, 'Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad !'" Acts 26:24. The laws ...

FAITH OR WORK?

I have written more than one article about faith and/or work. Why? Because I believe that work is more important than faith. The apostle Paul and millions of his worshipers, however, believe that faith is more important than work. “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 Jesus Christ is our arbitrator. Let us ask Jesus what He says. Jesus said, "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21. Readers, what kind of treasures were Jesus referring to in Matthew 6:18-21? Was He talking about the treasures that we have gathered as the result of our good work on earth (objective), or was He ta...
