The Truth

I want to talk a little bit about something different today that I have not discussed before, and that is about tithes and offerings. I want to ask my readers an important question that many are familiar with, and that is on the topic of tithes and offerings. Are tithes and offerings to the church necessary for the “salvation” of the people who go to church each week? Are they necessary? I believe they are necessary for the “salvation” of the staff of the church, such as to pay the salary of the church pastor, secretary, phones, utilities, etc. Yes, they are necessary for the “salvation” of the church . But are they necessary for the salvation of you and me? I think to answer this question we must know what salvation is , and whether the church can meet our needs or not. The spiritual needs of people who go to church vary greatly from one individual to another individual. But whatever it is, if salvation is what we want, and if only Jesus or YHWH can offer the salvation that we want, g...

Readers, do you know that when Jesus or Yahweh returns He will not only judge us by our deeds, but He will judge us first by the intention behind our deeds? Do we know that? Do you know that? If our intention is bad, God will send us straight to hell, no detour!  “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. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:5-8. God looked at the intent of their hearts. They were evil. And God drowned them all! Whether you believe that Jesus had died for us on the cross or not makes no difference. If the intent of our hearts is bad, we go straight to hell, body ...

Jesus said, "Come now, and let us reason together, " says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18. Jesus (YHWH) wants us to talk to Him, and ask Him for forgiveness of our sin. And He will forgive us, even though our sins are scarlet. He will make it as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they will be as wool. Reason together is what He wants from us. You know why He said “reason together”? Because He doesn’t want to die to redeem our sins. Can we understand that concept, or is it too difficult for us to understand? He wants us to redeem our own sins. Jesus said, "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, "leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” Matthew 5:23-24. Do we understand what J...

Brothers, reading the Bible is not like reading a comic book. Why? Because the Bible is a law text. It is a law book. It is not easy to read and understand the Bible at the same time in one reading unless we are experienced lawyers. For example, read this. Jesus said, "Have faith in God . For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart , but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive [them] , and you will have [them]. Mark 11:20-24. Do we understand what Jesus said here? Most likely not because we don’t have the faith that Jesus has. And we think differently than Jesus. Let me illustrate to you what Jesus meant. Jesus wants us to see God as our Father. That’s why He wants us to address His Father as our Father also. Jesus said, “ Therefore I say to you, whatever thi...

“Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter, remembering, said to Him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away." So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God . For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart , but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive [them] , and you will have [them]. Mark 11:20-24.  When we ask, Jesus said, we must have faith in God and not doubt that we receive it ! "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive [them] , and you will have [them]. Mark 11:24, referring to the dead fig tree that Jesus cursed. Have you ever doubted that you get $20.00 from your mother if you ask her, believing that you...

I want to spend a little of my time writing about who Jesus is. Moses, Abraham, Daniel, Enoch, Isaiah, Noah, and all the prophets of the Old Testaments know who Jesus is. They called Him Yahweh or YHWH. Yahweh, as you remember from reading the OT, was a “harsh” God, unlike Jesus, sweet, kind, and forgiving. Do you remember when the crowd brought a prostitute before Jesus to be stoned to death? Jesus saved her. Why was Jesus acting differently than YHWH? Here's why? When Jesus was on earth and took the form of a human being, Jesus was playing the role of the Son of God, sweet, kind, considerate, and forgiving. If He was playing the role of Tempeh Man, I don’t think anybody wants to follow Him. But even now, no Christian wants to follow Jesus either. They all follow Paul, right? All Christians follow Paul, and not Jesus. The only reason why they follow Jesus is because they believe that Jesus died to redeem their sins. Nonsense ! “Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jes...

Readers, do you know why Adam and Eve were evicted from the Garden of Eden? Do you know why Lucifer and millions of his angels were evicted from heaven? And do you know why they were all evicted to planet earth , and not to other planets? The reason why I believe they were evicted to planet earth is because other planets totally obey the laws of God, but planet earth doesn’t. And that, I believe, was the reason why God plans to replace planet earth with the new earth when He returns. Every human being that disobeyed Him will be destroyed by fire, body and soul, and every spirit that is against Him will be burned in hell in eternal fire. None of the words that I use here is hyperbole, none! If you don’t believe me, wait until Jesus returns on Judgment Day. "The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness , and will cast them into the furnace of fire . There will be wailing and gnashing of t...
