The Truth

"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...

"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...

God of the New Testaments said, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28. Brothers and Sisters. Do we know that during the big flood at the time of Noah none of the Iblis was destroyed? Satan cannot be destroyed by flood water. Only human beings, animals, and plants were destroyed by flood water. Why? Because Satan is a spirit . Satan can only be destroyed by hell fire . And that hell fire will come from heaven on Judgment Day. That was the reason why God of the New Testaments said, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28. God of the Old Testaments said, “For by fire and by His sword The LORD will judge all flesh; And the slain of the LORD shall be many .” Isaiah 66:16. Do we know what the word "many" means? Many millions, or many billions...

"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.” Matthew 24:14. Brothers and Sisters. Why do you think that the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world before the end comes? Because God cannot hold us accountable for something that we don’t know. That, I believe, is the primary reason why God waited until the Gospel is preached in all the world before He returns. But here is the problem. Jesus is no longer with us here on earth. Whom can we ask if we need an answer to questions about the kingdom of God? Ask our preacher? Ask our pastor? What did Jesus say? Jesus said: "Take heed that no one deceives you. 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 24:4,11,24. Brothers and Sisters. Be aware that at the end of time there will be two kinds of gos...

Tuhan dalam Perjanjian Lama bersabda, “Aku adalah Alfa dan Omega, Yang Pertama dan Yang Terkemudian, Yang Awal dan Yang Akhir." Wahyu 22:13. (5) Aku, TUHAN, Allahmu, adalah Allah yang cemburu, yang membalaskan kesalahan bapa kepada anak-anaknya, kepada keturunan yang ketiga dan keempat dari orang-orang yang membenci Aku, (6) tetapi Aku menunjukkan kasih setia kepada beribu-ribu orang, yaitu mereka yang mengasihi Aku dan yang berpegang pada perintah-perintah-Ku. Keluaran 20:5-6. Tuhan Perjanjian Baru bersabda, “Jikalau kamu mengasihi Aku, maka kamu akan menuruti segala perintah-Ku.  Barangsiapa memegang perintahKu dan melakukannya, dialah yang mengasihi Aku. Dan barangsiapa mengasihi Aku, ia akan dikasihi oleh Bapa-Ku dan Akupun akan mengasihi dia dan akan menyatakan diri-Ku kepadanya." Yudas, yang bukan Iskariot, berkata kepada-Nya: "Tuhan, apakah sebabnya maka Engkau hendak menyatakan diri-Mu kepada kami, dan bukan kepada dunia?" Jawab Yesus: "Jika seorang men...

God of the Old Testaments said, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, [the] Beginning and [the] End, the First and the Last." Revelation 22:13. (5) 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, (6) but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” Exodus 20:5-6. God of the New Testaments said,  " If you love Me, keep My commandments. 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. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word wh...

“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...

"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...
