A sign of things to come... Modern Christians

Posted by David Duarte on October 13, 2009 at 7:30pm

Here is the first page of the first chapter inked up of modern Christians. Looks kind of nice huh? I think it would be best if I wait until I am finished with every chapter now instead of showing previews. A summary of this cartoon: It's about a group of teen Christians who deal with the everyday struggles of being a Christian and a teen. Much of what they go through, I have went through and so have others. They have good times and bad, question their idenity and purpose, sometimes even doubting God. Some of the things they will go through include: Attempting to act more Godly. Dealing with athiests who want to give some of them a hard time. Building and breaking relationships. Finding out some people who claim to be Christian really are not. Or they act as a believer but have secret sins. Temptation to do many things. And much more. My goal of this comic is to show that Christanity isn't perfect, but it's still worth going for, even with all the struggles that can come with it. Show that we Christians know how to have fun and that maybe even an athiest will see that getting saved is worth it. I kind of hope I can change how people see Christian comics and help Christians and non-Christians see that what they struggle with. I would like to put most of myself into this comic. All the characters are based on personalities I have, once had, or sometimes wish I had haha. I am feeling confident with this comic. If it gets attention, which I hope, it will get very interesting, and even a bit controvesial. But it should stand out from most Christian comics which I hope.

Howdy,Just finished the pen and inks for volume 3 and I am tired! Taking this week off from Allegories to breathe. I just finished about 100 pgs in four months. That is more than I have ever done in such a short time while working full time and being married. WHEW!!! Inside I feel this exhaustion, a deep exhaustion. So what do I do on my break? Look for a part-time job while developing a children book series....HUH?!!Yea, my family and I are in a financial bind right now, but God is being faithful. So, I'm doing my part as we pray to Jesus for guidance. Allegories prayfully will be out in a month or so. I just talked to my publisher and there was a delay since we changed Allegories to softcover than hardcover. I should be getting my few copies for reviews and stuff in a week. But I don't get my part of the profit until quarterly. Sooooo, I need some extra cash now, but also, there's been this children book series I've been wanting to do that I hope will share the gospel to kids and generate more revenue for the Todd household. Plus, it shouldn't take as long to produce like Allegories. The children books will also be the debut of my photoshop coloring skills or lack of. HAha.So pray for me and my family and be blessed and remember Jesus is faithful.

The college's quarter has started again, and it's going to be a tough one - it's also the start of my Senior year. so I must try to cut back on online time as much as possible. I hope to share the amazing results of my efforts afterwords. Thanks for all your support and prayers if you made any for me (and continue to pray, cause I sure need it-no joke!), and hope to see you all again soon!

Community Artist Creates Prayer Rooms for a New Worship Experience

Posted by Tony Snipes on October 5, 2009 at 6:12pm

Recently I came across Nicki Carleton, who is in fulltime ministry that designs and creates interactive worship experiences and 24-7 prayer rooms. These beautiful sacred spaces allow people to fall in love with Jesus, hear His voice and pray with power and passion.

When I saw the work she's done with these rooms, I had to ask Nicki to share her story.Here’s her response which made for a great interview:NICKI: “Well thanks for asking!!!!! They really are a place where God dwells and feels welcome, where people can actually experience God and feel his love and the most important thing - hear his voice. There are a couple of scientific principles behind it too.1. Walking InFirst thing when you walk into the room it turns on the right brain so time slows down and you forget all the list of things you had to do and you suddenly feel relaxed and after an hour like you've had a sleep. It is very healing to stressed out people. You are also open to communicate with God on another level different from knowledge which is how we are mostly taught about God.2. Hands-On Prayer Experience The other principle is that I am a kinesthetic learner so I love creating these spaces where I love to learn and pray because I can get in there and do something to keep me praying for hours. 20% of people are auditory 40% visual and 40% tactile learners so I believe the church- which some are made up of 75% auditory learners and teachers are not catering to the 80% of people who are more artistic and creative. So I am doing my thing for the kids that are neglected including some of the adults... (laughs!)I think there is a big hole in churches so we need to bring in artistic beauty and teach people how to be creative and worship God in creative ways. That has been written about in many books.3. Discipleship The last thing I think is the room is about discipleship and teaching powerful profound deep things in a way that they are engaging in learning by listening to God and having a conversation with God.Our church www.instantred.com teaches through community art. I always get profound teaching and revelation from doing art - it may very well be different to what the others around me receive. Since only 7% of spoken sermons are even remembered its a wonder why we put the sermon on such a pedestal. When using the 5 senses in teaching people learn and retain up to 90%.So the teaching through the prayer rooms is very effective. And it is just how Jesus taught - in a field, with corn, eating the fruit, with a fish, in a boat. He taught discipleship through the senses. Through life. This is how I love to teach.I feel like I am a matchmaker - setting up people on a date with Jesus. I help people make time to listen and time to just hang out in the presence of Jesus. They are healed, transformed changed, loved.... so many things... It is a really fun ministry to share with others.”Visit Nicki’s site here at: http://www.blissfulministries.com/Want to get the latest post in your email? Subscribe to our blog.

Announcing Clash Entertainment.com

Posted by Ken Raney on September 28, 2009 at 5:43am

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Clash Entertainment, Inc. Announces New Entertainment/Portal Website for Christian Teens and Tweens to Launch June, 2010 Wichita, KS – Clash Entertainment, Inc. has begun production of an entertainment/portal web site designed to attract Christian teens and tweens. The goal of clashentertainment.com is to have a site that is so rich and deep with entertaining media, that teens will want to visit, and stay for sustained amounts of time. The site will be updated daily with fresh content that will include news, reviews, interviews, comics, and more. There will also be a huge list of links to other Christian websites of interest to teens. Clashentertainment.com is targeted to be live in June 2010. The next few months will be devoted to developing the site and loading it with content. When the site goes live, there will be over 6 months of accumulated content so teens will have a lot to explore from the start. “A site like this offers much to the Christian community,” says Ken Raney, president of Clash. “Teens will have access to entertaining, enlightening, and even edifying media, Christian creatives will have an outlet to use their gifts for the Lord and His Kingdom, and Christian publishers will now have access to the teen market, something that has been very difficult in the past.” “We have a passion for Christian teens,” said Raney. “We want to see to it that they have available to them entertaining media that doesn’t undermine their faith. The Christian teen/tween is the most under-served demographic in media. We believe the Lord has led us to begin to fill that gap.” The name Clash comes from Ephesians 6:12, "For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."

3 New Sketches To Keep My Skills Sharp

Posted by Tony Snipes on September 26, 2009 at 12:03pm

From the "Practice What You Preach" file. Many of you have heard may talk about doing something creative everyday to keep your skills sharp.Here is an example of how that practice helps me as well.Recently, I noticed one of my daughters in a relaxed stance while watching TV. The profile caught my artistic eye. After shouting "Don't move!" I hurried to grab my sketch pad and casually went to work. Here's what I came up with. I plan to eventually convert this into a completed digital painting, but even if not, it was great exercise:

I then began another sketch based on that pose that fleshed out more detail and began to give the character more personality even with subtle facial expressions:

This final sketch is an example of how I love sketching robots mostly because their gangling form resembles the artist's mannequin many of us have so often used:

The Black Wave

Posted by Alain Auderset on September 26, 2009 at 4:54am

Keep Going…

Monday, with my little lady, we planned an outing (to take a break, to de-stress)Just wandering the streets of Lausanne (a big city in Switzerland) for no reason (not even passing out tracts)We were talking about all these battles to hold on to my comic books,When suddenly, at a street corner filled with tourists, we saw a Christian bookstore (?!)We had just gotten our feet inside and then: BAM!What a surprise to see my comic books, my posters, and –in full view- my DVD… everywhereI couldn't believe it… (I almost wanted to cry)It's a bit like I suddenly realized thatwhat I’m doing is a great encouragement for all my Christian brothers and sisters.Each of these comic books in the window represented a time of battle when I was putting my family and, at times, my health at risk.it had been worth it… the church (the Bride of Christ) is blessed by this…

The black wave

We survived the first wave of notices for unpaid bills (glory to the Lord! that's awesome)To have momentarily been able to hold our heads above water is amazing in itself… the Lord is faithful!And I… ahh! The shadow of a second wave – much bigger – is already upon us! It's about to crash.. blub, blub, splish, splash!Alainwww.auderset.com

No"And Cain talked with Abel, his brother;and it came to pass, when they were in the field,that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew himAnd the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel your brother?And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?And He said, What have you done?The voice of your brother’s blood cries unto Me from the groundAnd now are you cursed from the earthwhich has opened her mouth to receiveyour brother’s blood from your hand:When you till the ground it shall not henceforthyield unto you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabondshall you be in the earth" (Verses 8-12)Did God threaten Cain with"endless punishmentin some subterranean hellhole of torture in fire?" NoBut notice Cain’s reply?"And Cain said unto the Lord,My punishment is greater than I can bearBehold, you have driven me out this dayfrom the face of the earth, and from Your face shall I be hid;and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth:and it shall come to pass, that every one [any one]that finds me shall slay me" (Verse 13-14)What? My punishment is greater than I can bear?If Cain thought being a fugitive and vagabondand having poor crops was greater than he could bear,what pray tell would he have thoughthad God told him that he would be punishedfor all eternity in some hellish pit of fire?Did God fail to tell Cain about the"endless torture" because He was afraidit would be too much for Cain to psychologically handle?Did God fail to inform Cain of his coming endless punishmentbecause He was afraid it might discourage him,or some other unfathomable fiendish foolishness?Search all we may, we won’t find thispagan doctrine of Christendom in the ScripturesBut hold on there’s moreWe are not finished with this account of Cain yet"And the Lord said unto him,Therefore, whosoever slays Cain,vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfoldAnd the Lord set a mark upon Cain,lest any finding him should kill him" (Verse 15)Let’s all use our brains together on this one:Cain is a murdererIt doesn’t get much worse than thatNot only a murderer, but, a murderer of his OWN BROTHERBut God tells us that if someoneshould find and slay Cain the murderer,then that person would have vengeancetaken on him seven times greater?SEVEN TIMES GREATERthan burning in some fabled hell for all eternity?Seven times greater than that?Are they kidding?Can any human mind conceive of a punishmentseven times GREATER than being tortured in fire for all eternity?Here then would be the orthodox logicof this whole scenario:Kill your brother, and receive a certain punishment:but kill the murderer of his brother,and receive "seven TIMES greater" punishmentThere is nothing greater, or "seven TIMES greater"than an eternity of torture in fireDoes someone wish to stop and seriously argue this point?Then how is it possible that any who would kill Cain,would have a punishment "seven times greater" than Cain,if his punishment is to be tortured in real fire endlessly?Cain’s punishment will not be an eternity of torture in fireCain died, just as his parents (Adam and Eve) diedBut there is no punishment in deathCain’s "punishment" was here on this earthwhile Cain was still alive, not afterAnd likewise, anyone who found and killed Cainwould have punishment on this earthwhile they were still alive,"seven times greater," than that of CainThe wages of sin is death not eternal life in hellif you die...you don't burn foreverif you burn forever...you don't dieThe Truth About HELL Just Might Burn You UpIF YOU DIE...You don't BURN foreverIf you BURN forever...YOU DON'T DIEFrom the Old Testament Hebrew Bible;Sheol was translated to hell(a chamber.... cave, tomb, or grave)When the Hebrew Bible was translated to GreekSheol then became hades(unseen underworld for the dead)The concept of tormentwas not associated with Sheolby any of the old testament prophetsAs Christianity was arisingThe Levitical Priesthoodbecame the privileged "learned"in regard to the letter of the lawTherefore, they were respected and fearedfor they had the power of life and deathWhen Rome under Titus invaded Palestine in AD 70the temple was destroyed and eventuallyRome accepted ChristianityAs the Popes of Roman Catholic Churchbegan their "holy apostolic succession"They quickly realized thatfear and ignorance worked much better than loveThe everlasting torments of Hellthus made its appearancein conjunction with the oppositealluring rewards of HeavenThis brought many peopleand much money into the churchYou were not allowed to have a Bibleas the church would instruct youin all matters concerning religionBut soon, an "enemy" would arisein the form of the Printing PressEx-communication from the church would be the resultif anyone was caught reading or having any portionof the Wycliffe BibleWilliam Tyndale and John Rogerswere burned at the stake for being translatorsTranslating from one language to anotherwas not always easy and errors were madeOne such example,was the translating of Hebrew and Greek wordsto the English words of eternal, everlastingand for ever and everThe hebrew word OLAM and the greek word AIONcan be simplified to the english equivalent of EON(age)for this explanationFirst of all, that which NEVER ceasescan only be in the SINGULAR formTherefore,if the hebrew OLAM or greek AIONequals the english EON(age)meaning TIME UNENDING (eternity)there could be but ONE such EON (age)One such time unendingYet many times, these words are usedas PLURALS in our scripturesSo, if there are timeswhen there are more than one EONS (ages)We must conclude that one of these EONS (ages)must of necessity be of A LIMITED DURATIONTherefore, if translators renderedcertain passages FOR EVER AND EVERthis would have to be an errorbecause if FOR EVER means time unending (eternity)It would be incorrectto attach to TIME UNENDING (eternity)another equal period of TIME UNENDING (eternity)by the added words of AND EVERThis error resultsin the "ETERNAL" nature of HELLequaling in the same languageour "ETERNAL" reign with ChristSo it would appearthat our life with Christ is to be ETERNALand that our suffering in HELL is to be ETERNAL alsoYet, what did Paul write about the reign of Christ?1Cor 15:24,25Then shall the end come,when he (Christ)hands over the Kingdom to God the FatherAFTER he has destroyedall dominion, authority, and powerFor he must reign UNTILhe has put all his enemies under his feetThe reign of Jesusis to be of a LIMITED durationwhich will at some point come to a terminationJust as the Lake of Fireis to be of a LIMITED durationwhich will at some point come to a termination-after having completed what it was truly designedby God the Father to accomplishThe words"everlasting"... "evermore"... "for ever"..."fore ever and ever"... and "eternal"...are no where found....not even once in any Hebrew or Greek manuscriptfrom which our modern language Bibles are translated!!One of the greatest lies about our loving Godhas made its way into the church and isbeing taught as truthInsinuating, that our Father in Heavenis a God of hatred and vengeanceAnd that he isthe greatest of all hypocrites-in that he teaches us to "be ye perfectas your Father in Heaven is perfect"... love your enemies!!yet he will torture his enemies in fire for all eternity...This most evil doctrine was designed to insurethat man would hate the loving CreatorThe truth is:God, is not going to and never intended toburn anyone, in the Lake of Fire for all eternity!!The first time Jesus came, it was NOTto condemn or judge the worldbut to save the worldThe next time Jesus comes it will beto judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESSThose that will be cast into the Lake of Fire,will have their carnal sinful natures burned away!!In the consuming, purifying presence of Godthey will learn righteousnessHeb 9:27And as it is appointed unto men once to die,but after this the judgmentIsaiah 26:9for when thy judgments are in the earththe inhabitants of the world will learn RIGHTEOUSNESS1Cor 3:15If any man's work shall be burnedhe shall suffer loss but he himselfshall be saved yet so as by FIREYes, there will be punishment in this Lake of Firefor those who will be cast thereinshall burn in accordance with their sinful carnal naturesThe fire will not be quencheduntil all the sinful nature is burned away;resulting in that personlearning obedience and being made perfectThe wages of sin is death not eternal life in HellIf you die…you don’t burn foreverIf you burn forever…you don’t dieIf the wages of sin was to burn eternally in Hell-then Jesus,would have had to burn eternallyin Hell for taking all sin upon himself!!The wages of sin is death followed by a resurrectionRev 20:6Blessed and holy is he that hath partin the first resurrection:on such the second death hath no powerRev 2:11He that overcometh shall not beHURT (not killed) of the second deathMalachi 3:3He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silverThis verse puzzled some women in a Bible studyand they wondered what this statement meantabout the character and nature of GodOne of the women offeredto find out the processof refining silver and get back to the groupat their next Bible StudyThat week, the woman called a silversmithand made an appointment to watch him at workShe didn't mention anythingabout the reason for her interestbeyond her curiosity about the processof refining silverAs she watched the silversmith,he held a piece of silverover the fire and let it heat upHe explained that in refining silverone needed to hold the silverin the middle of the firewhere the flames were hottestas to burn away all the impuritiesThe woman thought about Godholding us in such a hot spotthen she thought againabout the verse that saysHe will sit as a refiner and purifier of silverShe then asked the silversmithif it was true that he had to sit therein front of the fire the whole timethe silver was being refinedThe man answered yeshe not only had to sit thereholding the silver in the fire;but he had to keep his eyes on the silverthe entire time it was in the fireIf the silver was lefta moment too long in the flamesit would be destroyed!!The woman was silent for a momentand then asked the silversmith:How do you knowwhen the silver is fully refined?He smiled at her and answeredOh, that's easy-when I see My IMAGE in it!!Is Elohim able to redeem anyone from hell?The Translators of the King James Versiontranslated the HEBREW word "SHEOL"to the ENGLISH word "HELL" thirty timesIf sheol is indeed hell,is God able to redeem anyone from this "hell"?Psalms 49:15But God WILL redeem my soulfrom from the power of the GRAVE: for he shall receive me SelahThe word "grave" in this verse is the Hebrew word "sheol"which is translated "hell" in no less than thirty other versesSo if "sheol" really is "hell"then there is "REDEMPTION" FROM HELLAnd in the GREEK:1Cor 15:55O death, where is thy sting? O GRAVE, where is thy VICTORY?The word "grave" in this verse is the Greek word "hades"which is translated "hell" in no less than ten other versesSo if "hades" really is "hell"then there is "VICTORY" OVER HELLBut the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable,and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers,and idolaters, and all liars, shall HAVE THEIR ..PART..in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:which is the second deathWhat is Brimstone anyway?Does it make the fire hotter and more painful?Is it caustic to the skin causing greater pain?Brimstone is defined by the dictionary as SulfurSulfur, is often called brimstone, burning stone, or ignited sulfurIt has been used in religious ceremonies forPURIFYING or fumigating buildings and for bleaching cloth(Encyclopedia Britannica, page 536)Methods of Production:Producers describe their methodof obtaining sulfur from the ore asPURIFICATION BY FIRE (Page 537)Interesting thought-Purification by FirePurification by a Lake of Fire?Physical Properties:Sulfur isTASTELESS, ODORLESS,AND OF NO EFFECT ON THE SKIN (page 537)Sulfur is aPOOR CONDUCTOROF HEAT AND ELECTRICITY (page538)Interesting thought-A poor conductor of HEATAn even more interesting thought-So if God were to put enough Brimstone into the Lake of Fire,it would actually have the potential of protecting those in the firelike an asbestos suit!!Am I going to fast for anyone?Do you see where I am going with this line of thinking?Malachi 3:3He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silverTo be the Saviour of the World...One must SAVE the entire WORLD!!The FiremanI teach that Yahushuah (Jesus)is the Saviour of the world-and that he can not beSAVIOUR OF THE WORLD-and notSAVE THE ENTIRE WORLDI get replies that Christcan be the Saviour of the world,and yetNOT SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLDThey give me this type of proof:When a fireman goes into a burning building to save trapped people,what happens if these trapped people refuse to be saved?Is the fireman not still a firemansimply because some do not wish to be saved?Here we see the foolishness of the carnal mind at workdesperately grasping for straws to supportan unscriptural theory-that Christ TRIES to save everyone...(just like a fireman tries to save those trapped in a burning building),but is unable to save everyone because many REFUSE to be savedTherefore Christ is STILL the Saviour of the worldeven if He doesn’t save everyone in the worldI have been told by Christians many timesthat most of humanity will CHOOSEto be burned in the pain of literal hell fire for all ETERNITY,rather than to be saved by Jesus ChristUTTER FOOLISHNESS!!Only an insane person would prefer to be burnedin literal torturing flames of firerather than to be saved by a fireman!!Futhermore, Any fireman worth his saltwill save men, women, children,and even cats, dogs, and other pets,WHETHER THEY WANT TO BE SAVED OR NOTImagine a mother being told by a firemanthat he left her little girl back in a burning buildingbecause the little girl didn’t want to be rescued by a fireman?Jesus Christ does not suffer the limitations of a fireman!Jesus Christ IS GOD! God does what He WILLS,and God wills to save all humanity (1Tim 2:4 and Isaiah 46:9-11)"GOD IS LOVE" 1John 4:8How many believe it?Do YOU believe it?Not if you also believethat God will torture the majority of mankindunmercifully in real fire for ALL eternity, you don’t1Tim 2:4"For this is good and acceptablein the sight of God our Saviour:Who WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED,and to come unto the knowledge of the truth"ONLY Christians(lead by Christian theologians,clergymen, pastors, and teachers)teach the whole world that Jesus Christ,the Saviour of the Whole World (1John 4:14),WILL NOT SAVE THE WHOLE WORLDThat he only "wants and wishes"that he could save the whole worldIt is ..ONLY.. THEY,who teach the world that this prophecyin 1Tim 2:4 will NEVER COME TO PASSBy the way, God NEVER, EVER"wishes" or "hopes" for ANYTHING!He "desires" things that absolutelyare certain to come about,but God never wishes or hopes for thingsthat may or may not come aboutConsider this:Suppose 1Tim 2:3-4did not say what is in our Bibles-but suppose it said the following:"For this is good and acceptablein the sight of God our Saviour;Who will ..NOT.. have all men to be saved,and to come unto the knowledge of the truth"Would not every single detractor who teachesthat God will NOT save all humanitythen use this Scripture toPROVE THAT GOD WILL NOT SAVE ALL MEN?YES OF COURSE THEY WOULD!YOU KNOW THEY WOULD!They would be delightedto show from the Scriptures a statementsaying that God "WILL NOT" save all men?And this Scripture would thenbe the one most profound statementsin all Scripture to back up their doctrinethat all men will NOT be savedThis would be their "proof text"that God most assuredlyWILL NOT save all menNow then,the ONLY difference between the fabricated verse aboveand the real verse found in all Bibles in 1 Tim 2:3-4is the addition of the word "not"So if the addition of the word "NOT"would prove that God will not save all men,then the deletion of the word "NOT"would have to prove that God WILL save all menSo if this verse had said thatGod "WILL NOT" save all men,then it would definitely meanthat all men will NOT be saved!!I don’t think there is a theologian alivewho would deny that!But here is the unbelievable irony of their teaching:since it says that God"WILL have all men to be saved"(according to theologians),this phrase alsoMEANS THAT GOD WILL NOT SAVE ALL MEN!Now, Imagineif 1 Tim 2:3-4 really did say that"God will NOT save all men,"and then I would try to argue(using the same stupid scholarship as theologians use)that this verse doesn’t really meanthat God will NOT save all men,but that it meansHe only "DESIRES" that all men "NOT" be savedwhen in reality they WILL all be saved,even if God were to sayHe "will NOT" save all menWould not my detractors try to laugh me to scornover such inane reasoning?OF COURSE THEY WOULD!YOU KNOW THEY WOULD!EVEN THEY KNOW THEY WOULDWell, guess what?The word "NOT" is NOT in this verseSo God really "WILL save ALL men!"Ask a hundred pastors or theologiansif your mother, let’s say, were to bow her kneesin the name of Jesus [Jehovah-Saviour] Christand confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, will she be saved?I am pretty sure all one hundred would say,"YES, OF COURSE!"Next ask the same one hundredwhether all those in heaven and earth...who will also bow and confessJesus as Lord will be saved,and I am pretty sure all one hundred would say,"NO, OF COURSE NOT!"See the difference?Me neither!!The Consuming Spiritural FIRE of GODWe are saved by grace through faith (Eph 2:8)However, that does not purge usfrom all our filthy thoughts and deedsNo, there is moreThere is also a consuming FIRE that God uses on us:"For other foundation can no man laythan that is laid, which is JESUS CHRISTNow if any man build upon this foundationgold, silver, precious stones,WOOD, HAY, STUBBLE;Every man’s work shall be made manifest;for the day shall declare it,because it shall be revealed BY FIRE;and the FIRE shall TRY EVERY MAN’S WORKof what sort it isIf any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon,he shall receive a rewardIf any man’s work shall be BURNED,he shall SUFFER LOSS;but...[pay close attention to this BIG BUT]BUT HE HIMSELF[the one who had his works burnedand consumed in God’s consuming fire]SHALL BE SAVED[What will save him?],yet so AS BY FIRE" (1Cor 3:11-15)!!Ah dear readers,can we begin to understand the workings of God?God consumes with fire,the wood, hay and stubble in our livesThe things that don’t deserve to continueBut he REFINES the gold, silver, and precious stones(those doctrines and godly character traitsof God’s spirit that abide the fire)It is figurative language, it is an analogy,it is a parable, it is metaphorical(where one thing is called another thing)Our lives have either qualities of character(which are likened to gold and precious stones,things of value to refine and retain),or gross lacks in character(which are likened to wood, hay, and stubbleand which are not worthy to retain or preserve)And just as real literal fireis used to refine and purify gold and precious metals,so God’s SPIRITUAL FIRE refines and purifies usfrom our sinful and carnal natureAnd likewise, as real literal fireis used to burn up wood and stubble,so God’s all consuming SPIRITUAL FIREwill consume and burn up all the impurities in our lifeThese things MUST DIEThis purging is the SECOND DEATHAnd whether the person God subjectsto His consuming fire has many good qualities or none,the person himself shall be purged, purified, andSAVED BY GOD’S ALL-CONSUMING SPIRITUAL FIRE!!!We just read it in God’s Holy WordHow can any deny it?Every person who has ever livedwill be subjected to the cleaning fire of God’s spiritGod is the JUDGE (Rev 20;12) ...NOT SatanThis judgment throne is "WHITE" not black!God judges in righteousness"He shall judge the world with RIGHTEOUSNESS"(Psalm 96:13)"Because He [God] hath appointed a day,in which He will judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESS"(Acts 17:31)Next I present a Scripture that many Christians hateI’ll bet you have never heard a sermon on this verseWe read that God has appointed a day (a period of time)in which He will "JUDGE" the whole worldRevelation 20:10-15 IS THAT DAY OF JUDGMENT!Now we know that those not found in the book of lifewill be put into FIRE, and they will be TORMENTEDThis is certainly part of this judgmentBut it is not literal fireLiteral fire burns up physical thingsand literal fire cannot harm spiritual thingsSo what does the fire do or accomplish? ...MUCH!This judgment in Revelation 20IS that worldwide judgment spoken of in many propheciesBut is the purpose of this worldwide judgmentto torture people by burning their fleshin real fire for all eternity?Is that HOW God judges in " righteousness" ?Absolutely notWe just read where God burns up our fleshly WORKS,and this is "tormenting" for sureBut God does not torture our flesh for all eternityDon’t get me wrong,there will be severe chastisementson those who despise God and His Savior and His GospelBut out of their ashes will come salvation!!Here is another marvelous Scripturewhich answers what happens to sinning humanitywhen God JUDGES THE WORLD in righteousness"For he [GOD] bringeth down them that dwell on high;the lofty city, he layeth it low, HE LAYETH IT LOW,even to the ground, he bringeth it even to the dust"(Isa 26:5)Make no mistake,God will judge the wicked with great severityHowever, ALWAYS FOR A BENEVOLENT PURPOSE:"With my soul have I desired thee in the night;yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early:for when Thy judgments are in the earth,THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLDWILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS" (Isaiah 26:9)!!There will come a timewhen those who only knewhow to blaspheme the name of God,will come to LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESSThey will not just "hear" of righteousness,no, they will actually "LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS"!The whole book of Isaiahspeaks of judgments on Israel and on the nationsBut the end of all these judgmentsis SALVATION TO ALLNotice Isa 45:22-23,"Look unto me,and BE YE SAVED, ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH:for I am God, and there is none elseI have sworn by Myself,the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness[as in, ‘For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;Who WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED, and to come unto theknowledge of the truth,’ I Tim. 2:3-4] ,and shall not return,That unto me EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW,EVERY TONGUE SHALL SWEAR"(See also: Phil 2: 9-11 & 1Cor 12:3)God’s words will NOT return empty or voidWhen God speaks, it will be doneWhen God wills, it will be doneWhen God desires, His desires WILL BE DONE:"Declaring the end from the beginning,and from ancient times the things that are not yet done,saying,MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND,and I WILL DO ALL MY PLEASURE ...I have spoken it,I WILL ALSO BRING IT TO PASS;I HAVE PURPOSED IT, I WILL ALSO DO IT"(Isa 46:10-11)Oh the blasphemy of those who teachthat God’s most heartfelt desiresWILL NOT COME TO PASS,but will utterly fail!!!Jesus Christ is not the "potential" Savior of the world;HE IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD!!!HE WILL SAVE THE WORLD!!!How many self- appointed, bible- thumping,doomsday, fire and brimstone,eternal torture in hell preachersbelieve these verses in Isaiah?Not one that I know of!Most Christians have never been taughtthe Scriptures that I am giving youThese things are despised by manywho call themselves "Christian"And yet, God’s Word is FULLof such statements of God’s Salvation to ALLWHO ARE THE "FALSE CHRISTS"Who are they...who almost deceivethe VERY ELECT and DECEIVE MANY?We read that they are"false Christs" and "false prophets"But WHO are these false Christs and false prophets?How will we know them?What IDENTIFIES them asfalse prophets, liars, and deceivers?Here are just two Scriptureswhere Jesus gives us the IDENTIFYING SIGNSof the these false teachers, and deceivers:"MANY will say to me [Jesus] in that day,Lord, Lord [Master, Master], have we not:A: PROPHESIED[taught, preached] in Thy Name [Jesus]?B: In Thy Name [Jesus]have CAST OUT DEVILS [demons]?C: And in Thy Name [Jesus]done MANY WONDERFUL WORKS [miracles]?And then will I profess[plainly, openly, tell them to their face]I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM MEYOU THAT WORK INIQUITY [lawlessness]" (Matt 7:22-23)"For MANY shall come in my name,saying [that], I [Jesus] am Christ,and shall deceive MANY" (Matt 24:5)Who are the "MANY" today who,(1) Teach and preach in the name of Jesus Christ?(2) Cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ?(3) Do MANY (not a few, but many) WONDERFUL WORKS(not evils works, but good and wonderful works),in the name of Jesus Christ?...Who?The Russians? The Chinese? The Muslims?The Hindus? The Confucianists?The Buddhists? The Jews?The QUARTER BILLION Ethnic Religionists?The HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION Athiests?Do ANY of these worldwide religions"teach, preach, cast out demons,and do many wonderful worksIN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST?"No, they don’t!!Well then,WHO ARE THESE "MANY" who do these things?Do not "MANY"of the TWO BILLION CHRISTIANS in the world today,"teach, preach, cast out demons, and do manywonderful works IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST?"Then I would say that we have identifiedthe "many" that Jesus warned us aboutIt is not enough...to preach, teach, heal, and cast out demonsin the name of Jesus Christ-One has to also OBEYthe commandments and teachings of Jesus ChristJesus said that it is the "many" who do good words,but are guilty of "iniquity" which means "lawlessness"Next, who are the "MANY" today who say that,"Jesus IS THE CHRIST, THE MESSIAH?"No, don’t be deceived;it is not those few who occasionally claimthat they themselves are "Jesus the Christ"They don’t deceive the "MANY"Only some fool would ever be deceivedinto believing that some carnal idiotreally IS the ChristBesides, there are NOT "many"who make such a claim in the first placeBut there certainly are "MANY"who say and teach that JESUS is the REAL CHRIST!!And so it is not only thosewho "teach and preach and cast out demonsand do many wonderful works in the name of Jesus"who are DECEIVING THE MANY,but also there is a large group (many)who teach that "Jesus really IS THE CHRIST"and yet Jesus said it would be thesethat are also DECEIVING THE MANY!!Millions of Christianshave heard these Scriptures quoted all their livesBut, God forbid that they would pause a minute or twoto consider WHO REALLY ARE THESE PEOPLETHAT JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT THAT REALLY DOTHESE MANY WONDERFUL THINGSAND YET-DECEIVE THE MANY!!Jesus Christ said"I will BUILD My church..."(Matt 16:18)Where are God’s people (My people)?"And he cried mightily with a strong voice…And I heard another voice from heaven sayingCOME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE,that ye be not partakers of her SINS,and that ye receive not of her PLAGUES" (Rev 18:2,4)Who is the "her"that "God’s PEOPLE" are to "COME OUT OF"but "Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother [catholic church]of Harlots [protestant daughter churches]and the ABOMINATIONS of the earth" (Rev 17:4-6)Today’s Church threatens the world of sinnerswith eternal torture in eternal fireif they do not...COME INTO...their Great Mystery Church of Abominations!!!"Know you not thatYOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD,and that the Spirit of Goddwells IN YOU?" (1Cor 3:16)That's because,"God that made the world and all things therein,seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth,DWELLS NOT IN TEMPLES MADE WITH HANDS" (Acts 17:24)No, God does not "dwell"in temples and buildings made with hands,but SATAN does "DWELL" in carnal churchesmade with hands (Rev 2:13)The Depths of Satan is found IN THE CHURCHHe doesn't attack the Churchfrom without, but from within:Where do we find "Satan’s seat (throne)?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:13)Where do we find "where Satan dwells?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:13)Where do we find "the doctrine of Balaam?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:14)Where do we find them who"say they are apostles (of Christ) and are not?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:2)Where do we find themwho have "left their first love?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:4)Where do we find them which"say they are (spiritual) Jews and are not,but are the synagogue of Satan?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:9 & 3:9)Where do we find"them that hold the doctrineof the Nicolaitanes, which thing I (Jesus) hate?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:15)Where do we find "that woman Jezebel,which calls herself a prophetess,to teach and to seduce my servantsto commit fornication and to eat thingssacrificed unto idols?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:19)Where do we find them that"have a name that you live, and are dead?"Why, IN THE CHURCHWhere do we find them that"are wretched, and miserable,and poor, and blind, and naked?"Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 3:17)And were do we find "the DEPTHS of Satan?"Why, IN THE CHURCH, of course Rev 2:24)THE CHURCH OF GOD IN PRIVATE HOUSESThere was a transition periodwhere the disciples still went up to the temple,but God’s intimate dealings would now be foundin more humble surroundingsWhen the Holy Spirit was poured outon the first Saints of Jesus,it was not in a synagogue, but in a house:"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,they were all with one accord in one placeand suddenly there came a sound from heavenas of a rushing mighty wind,and it filled all the HOUSEwhere they were sitting" (Acts 2:1-2)Church services were held in houses:"Likewise greet the churchthat is in their house" (Rom 16:5)"The churches of Asia salute youAquila and Priscilla salute youmuch in the Lord, with the churchthat is in their house" (1 Cor 16:19)"Salute the brethrenwhich are in Laodicea, and Nymphas,and the church which is in his house(Col 4:15)"Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ,and Timothy our brother,unto Philemon our dearly beloved,and fellow labourer,and to our beloved Apphia,and Archippus our fellowsoldier,and to the church in your house"(Philemon 1-2)When we come to the famous Jerusalem Conferencein the fifteenth chapter of Acts, we readthat Paul and Barnabas were"…being brought on their way by the CHURCH…"(Acts 15:3)This is the Church of Jesus Christ,not the church of the synagogue systemNotice that in this conferencetheir determination was to not forcethe Law of Moses on new Gentile converts:"Then pleased it the apostles and elders,with THE WHOLE CHURCH…" (Acts 15:22)The High Priests did not attend this conferenceThis was the first "Policy Binding Counsel"of the Church of Jesus Christ,consisting of only those who believed,who formulated policy which would be bindingon the whole churchThe Jews had "synagogues"―church buildingsThe newly converted Christians came out ofthose synagogue church buildingsand their doctrines, and met in homesWhy?Mostly because Christ was not taughtor tolerated in these synagoguesIn order to worship and followthe teachings of Jesus Christ,it became necessary to "come out of her"...the synagogue system of religionWherefore...2Cor 6:17Wherefore come OUT from among themand be ye seperate, saith the Lord,and touch not the unclean thing,and I will receive youRev 18:4Come out of her, my people,that ye be not partakers of her sins,and that you receive not of her plaguesGod is calling his people ..OUT.. of the Churchesand thus hiding them in the shadow of his handJer 6:2I have likened the daughter of Zionto a comely and delicate womanIsa 51:16And I have put my words in thy mouth, andI have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand,that I may plant the heavens,and lay the foundations of the earth,and say unto Zion, Thou art my peopleCan anyone...by their own "FREE WILL" choose Christor Does God himself FORCE our steps?John 15:16Ye have not chosen me,but I have chosen you, and ordained you,that ye should go and bring forth fruit,and that your fruit should remain:Can you or anyone elseby their own "FREE WILL"come to JESUS CHRIST?John 6:44No man can come to me,except the Father which hath sent me draw him:and I will raise him up at the last day(greek word for draw above; helko = DRAG)Can you or anyone elseby their own "FREE WILL"decide to do GOD'S desires?Phil 2:13For it is God which worketh in youboth to will and to do of his good pleasureSo, by our own "FREE WILL"we can't choose Jesuswe can't come to Jesuswe can't even "internally" desire to do eitherSo, it's our Creator himselfwho begins this great work within our very beingsCan we have any confidence in this?Phil 1:6Being confident of this very thing ,that he which begun a good work in youwill perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:Amazing!!That's like a "FREE GIFT"Eph 4:7But unto every one of us is given graceaccording to the measure of the gift of ChristWhat exactly is this "GIFT" ?Eph 2:8For by grace are ye saved through faith;and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:Has every man received this gift of faith?Rom 12:3God hath dealt to every man the measure of faithIs it possible for us to increase our faith?Rom 10:17So then faith cometh by hearing,and hearing by the word of GodSo God himself, and the word of God;are the sources for receiving and increasing our faithFaith sure is of "great importance" to God!!Heb 11:6But without faith it is impossible to please him:for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek himSo, as it is written;we must have faith ,we must believe that God iswe must believe he will reward usFREE WILL or DOES GOD "FORCE" OUR STEPS?God never uses the word force,but He does use words such as "directs" or "guides"It doesn't take a great deal of energyfor God to make people follow the footstepsthat He has established for themThe SLIGHTEST motivationsin our finances, stomach, social life, egos, etc.,will easily cause us to go either this way or that wayOf course none of this is of any valueunless we can establish it in God's WordNotice what God says regarding our "steps""...It is NOT IN MAN...to direct his steps..." (Jer10:23)"A man's heart deviseth his way:but the Lord DIRECTS HIS STEPS" (Prov16:9)God could have just as easily said: "...the Lord directs HIS WAY""Man's goings (Heb: steps) ARE OF THE LORD:how can a man then understand HIS OWN WAY?(it matters not if our steps are good or sinful)" (Prov 20:24)"For now thou NUMBEREST my steps(That's pretty specific): dost thou NOT watch over my SIN?" (Job 14:16)"The steps('steps' is used to symbolize ALL OF MANS DOINGS)OF A MAN ARE ordered (Heb: established)by the Lord" (Psa 37:23)If ALL man's steps are "established",then of necessitythey are ordered by God IN ADVANCEof him taking those ordered steps!!!With this in mind,Let's take a closer look at man's supposed "FREE WILL"ELOHIM'S FOREKNOWLEDGECONTRADICTS FREE WILLPhil 2:13it is God (not man)which works in you BOTH TO WILL (God causes us ‘to will’)and TO DO (God causes us ‘to do’)of His good pleasure" to bring about His intentionsAfter years of following Jesus daily,the apostles were not as yet convertedIn the evening of the last PassoverJesus tells Peter:Luke 22:31-32"And the Lord said, Simon, Simon,behold Satan has desired to have you,that he may sift you as wheat;But I have prayed for you,that your faith fall not:and when you are converted,strengthen your brethren"Yes indeed, "when you are converted"And just when might that be?Up until the very last day with their Lord,the apostles all believed that theypossessed the power of free will,which could enable them to choosetheir own destiny, and that they couldand would have the strength of self determinismand free will to maintain that courseBut Jesus told His disciplesthat they would all forsake HimIn other words,Jesus was foretelling of EVENTS that would cause(even ‘force,’ if you will) them to change their wills,against their previously stated willsThey of course, all deniedthat Jesus knew what He was talking aboutMark 14:27 & Zech 13:7"And Jesus said unto them,all ye shall be offended because of Me this night;for it is written, I shall smite the shepherd,and the sheep shall be scattered"The disciples all saidthat they would remain loyalbut Jesus said that they would allbe offended because of HimWas there a reasonfor God causing the disciplesto will loyalty to Jesus and thenin the same night to will to deny Jesus?Does God do anything in vain without a reason?This was all part of their conversion process!!God totally humiliated them by proving to themthat their own will was not freeto do what they wanted, but thatPhil. 2:13"it is God (not man) which works in youBOTH TO WILL (God causes us ‘to will’)and TO DO (God causes us ‘to do’)of His good pleasure"to bring about His intentionsIn just one night God smashedthe presumed "free will" of all the disciplesand they lost confidence in their flesh after that nightThere are two things that constantlyoppose and change the will of man,so that it cannot be said that the willis free to will its own destinyfor even a day or an hourWhat are these two factorsover which man has absolutelyno control whatsoever?CIRCUMSTANCESandGOD’S WILLCIRCUMSTANCES:God changes the minds and wills of mankindaround the world, a billion times a minute,through circumstances that "you know not"which are actually the cause of your choicesand your changed choicesWe are often if not most of the timecompletely unaware of what actuallycaused us to do or say or think as we doHow did all the disciples willto remain loyal to Jesus no matter what,at one moment in time, and in the next momentthey all changed their will to forsake Him?What changed their wills?Circumstances!!One moment they were at ease and safein the upper room, and at a later momentthey were in the garden surrounded by Roman Soldiers!Fear was the circumstancethat caused their (un-free) wills to changeSo it was the presence of certain circumstancesthat caused the disciples to will as they didBut what caused the circumstancesto be as they were to ensurethat they would will appropriatelyto fulfill Christ’s prophecy concerningtheir denying and forsaking Him?GOD’S WILL:Who was in charge of all these circumstances,which caused the disciples to change their wills?Why God, of courseThey did not want to change their willsThey did not desire to deny their Lord and SaviourThey did not wish to make liars of themselvesThey did not want to be shown to be cowardsWell then, why did they change their willsif they did not wish to change their wills?Were they free to not change their wills?No, they were not freeThe fear inside of them caused and made(and yes, FORCED, if you will) them to change their willAnd Jesus Himself told themthat they would change their wills,so how pray tell could it have been otherwise?God knew exactly what was neededto make all of the disciples change their willsGod said that they would change their willsand forsake Jesus,and God was not aboutto be made a liarPeter did not even know what it was that caused himto deny Christ until the "cock crew"In our above example with the disciples,not only did they change their emphaticallystated will, but, they did so against their stated willEven when they willed to change their will,they did so against their original desired willPeter did not want to deny Christbut he was made to deny Christby the mere fact that the alternative (fear)was greater than his desire to remain loyalAnd so, how was he "free" to remain loyal?NO he wasn’tPeter was no more "free" to not deny Jesusany more than he was "free"to be loyal in his original choiceBoth choices were caused,and once something is caused to happen,it could never had been otherwiseOnce the cause is set in motion,the effect must followGod brought about circumstances thatcaused, made, forced, Peter to dowhat he didn’t want to doHow then, can such a forced will, be free?Peter didn't will to deny Jesus,but he was clearly caused to do soThis is an example of how God causes mento change their will even when it is againsttheir initial will to do soHow much easier and unrecognizableare the millions of choices we makein which we very willingly make the decisions we do,because they often appear to be pleasant, profitable,and desirable choices?This exampleof the disciples forsaking Jesus is so important!!Can we believe that Jesuscould have told His disciples the following:"And Jesus said unto them,All ye shall be offended because of me this night,but then again,maybe not all of you will be offended,seeing that all of you have a free willOr maybe this to Peter:"And Jesus said unto him (Peter)Verily I say unto you, that this day, even in this night,before the cock crow twice, thou shall deny me thrice,but then again,maybe you won’t deny Me three times,seeing that you have a free willthat does not need to deny me even onceIt doesn’t depend on what I say,or circumstances brought about by my Father,or what God declares,but rather on your own "free will"Sounds a little sillywhen we look at it logically doesn’t it?Yet this is the contentionof those who believe in "free will"Maybe Peter will,but then again maybe Peter won’t,NOT EVEN GOD KNOWS FOR SUREAlmost sounds like blasphemy, doesn’t it?It is blasphemy to argue that when Godprophesies, states, and intendsthat someone do a particular thing,that the person is still at libertybecause of his supposed free will,to not do what God has saidYet this is what the theory of "free will" demandsThe fact that God has a foreknowledge of everythingproves that free will is an impossibility,True "free will" could alter the futureand therefore God could nothave an absolute and true knowledge of the futureTherefore, it is a grave error to statethat man has a free will that is not"made" or "caused" to do as it does,and yet state that God knows in advancethe only possible choice that a person must makeHow can one believethat if God states that a person will make choice A,that he is nonetheless still at liberty to make choice B?Let me restate that:Can God say that you WILL make choice A,but you can make choice B?Can God say that such and such, WILL happenbut that it doesn’t need to happen?The disciples WILL forsake and deny Christ,but they have a free choice NOT to forsake and deny Him?God knows in advancethat something WILL be a certain way,and yet it doesn’t have to be that way?Peter thought he possessed free will:Matt 26:33"Peter answered and said unto Him,Though all men shall be offended because of you,YET WILL I NEVER BE OFFENDED"Jesus responded that Peterhad no freedom of the willto stick by such a statement"Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee,That this night, before the cock crow,YOU SHALL DENY ME thrice" (Ver 34)Peter again respondsfrom the throne of his presumed free willand CORRECTS Jesus to His face:"Peter said unto Him,Though I should DIE WITH THEE,YET WILL I NOT DENY THEELikewise also said ALL THE DISCIPLES"(Ver 35)And the rest is historyWhen Peterwas confronted the third time we read this:Matt 26:74 & 75"Then began he to curse and to swear,saying, I KNOW NOT THE MANAnd immediately the cock crewand he went out, and wept bitterly"Free will? Where? Give it up!!What about all of the other discipleswho also thought they possessed this powerof free will and self-determinism?Matt 26:56"But all this was done,that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilledThen ALL THE DISCIPLES FORSOOK HIM, AND FLED"Free will? FREE will? FREE WILL?Where?If you still believe man has a will that is "free"from external and internal causes, beyond his control,then your arguments are not with me, but with God’s WordNow for maybe the most profoundand all-encompassing statements in all Scripture:Eph 1:11"In Whom (GOD) also we have obtained(‘obtained’ not ‘earned’) an inheritance,being PREDESTINATED(our ‘destiny’ was ‘pre’ arranged by God, not us)according to the PURPOSE OF HIM(not the free will, OF US!)Who WORKS ALL THINGS (EVERY thing)AFTER THE COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL(not OUR OWN WILL)What must I do to be SAVED?Must I "COME" TO CHRIST,and then "CHOOSE" CHRIST by my own "free will"?The Concordant Literal New Testamentis a better translation than the KJVin the following verse"Now we are aware that GOD[the word 'God' is left OUT in the KJV,but it is IN the Greek manuscripts]is working all togetherfor the good of those who are loving God[but just how does one come to 'love God?' continue...]who ARE CALLED[by GOD, not by our so-called 'free' will],according to the purpose[God's purpose in calling us]that, whom He foreknew[God knew before you were bornwhether He could be calling you now, or later]He designates BEFOREHAND also,to be conformed to the image of His Son,for Him to be Firstborn among many brethrenNow whom He designates BEFOREHAND, these HE calls also,and whom HE calls, these HE justifies also;now whom HE justifies, these HE glorifies also"(Rom 8:28-30)It is "HE"-GOD, Who does all these things!!NOWHERE do we see herethat you must first choose Christ of your own free will,and ..THEN.. God will do all these other thingsNO! GOD, has a purpose and perfect plan!!GOD does the calling,GOD conforms and transformsus into the image of His Son,GOD justifies us, andGOD will glorify us alsoIT IS ALL GOD!!And when God does do these things for those He calls,He also gives them ..FAITH.. to believe these things"For by GRACE are ye saved through FAITH;and that [that saving faith] not of yourselves:IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD" (Eph 2:8)HOW HARD IS IT GETTING SAVED?According to the sinners prayera person can be saved in about 15 secondsby saying some specially arranged wordsNot so! & Not true!!Getting Saved is the hardest most difficult thinganyone will ever have to go through in their entire lifetimeBeing saved is a lifetime process!!Just as we are in a lifetime processof being made into the image of God-Both are on-going processes!!Many times people use the following textsto prove that they are indeed savedIf you believe on the Lord you shall be savedIf you call upon the name of the Lord you shall be savedIf you get Baptized in the name of the lord you shall be savedIf you go through Jesus the door you shall be savedIf you receive Grace through Faith you shall be savedNow, follow me on thisAfter you have done one, two, or all of the aboveare you finally really and truly saved?Wait, I forgot one more:1Cor 1:21For after that in the wisdom of Godthe world by wisdom knew not God,it pleased Godby the foolishness of preachingto save them that believeDo you have to do all the aboveand then on top of that-Listen to the foolishness of my preachingto finally reach that status of being saved?My friends the one and onlyevidence that you are truly saved-will be when you come forthat the first resurrectionJohn 6:39And this is the Father's will which hath sent me,that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,but should raise it up again AT THE LAST DAYJohn 6:40And this is the will of him that sent me,that every one which seeth the Son,and believeth on him, may have everlasting life:and I will raise him up AT THE LAST DAYJohn 6:44No man can come to me,except the Father which hath sent me draw him:and I will raise him up AT THE LAST DAYJohn 6:54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,hath eternal life; and I will raise him up AT THE LAST DAYJohn 11:24Martha saith unto him,I know that he shall rise againin the resurrection AT THE LAST DAYWe are in the on-going processof being saved and made into the image of GodThe completion of this processwill not take place until you riseat the first resurrection-AT THE LAST DAY!!Mat 24:13But he that shall endureUNTO THE END, the same shall be SAVEDGod has a perfect purpose and a planand he will accomplish his "WILL" ...which is:1Tim 2:4Who will (eventually)have ALL men to be saved,and to (eventually) come unto the knowledge of the truthYou can not take the next verseand make a teaching of it aloneas no scripture is of privateor ones own interpretationThe scripture following it;will explain the true meaning of the first versethat so many people quickly use to defendtheir salvation as being an already done dealRom 10:13For whosoever shall call uponthe name of the Lord shall be savedLuke 6:46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord,and do not the things which I say?In other words:If you are going tocall on me- the Lord and- call me Lordthen- YOU'VE GOT YO DO WHAT I SAY!!　You have to believe on the Sonand the TESTIMONY that God gave to his Son1Jonn 5:9If we receive the witness of men,the witness of God is greater:for this is the witness of Godwhich he hath TESTIFIED of his Son1John 5:10He that believeth on the Son of Godhath the witness in himself:he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;because he believeth notTHE RECORD THAT GOD GAVE HIS SON1John 5:11And THIS IS THE RECORD, that Godhath given to us eternal life,and this life is in his Son1John 5:12He that hath the Son hath life;and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life1John 5:13These things have I written unto youthat believe on the name of the Son of God;that ye may know that ye have eternal life,and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of GodSo you must-Believe in and callupon the name of the LordDo the things he saysBelieve on the TESTIMONYGod gave of his Son　What is the TESTIMONYthat GOD GAVE TO HIS SON?Rev 1:1The Revelation of Jesus Christ,which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servantsthings which must shortly come to pass;and he sent and signified it by his angelunto his servant John:Rev 1:2Who bare RECORD of the word of God,and of the TESTIMONY of Jesus Christ,There it is!!The TESTIMONY that God gave to his Sonis the Book of RevelationsIt's no wonder that we are sternly warnedthat no one is to add or take away from this bookREPENTANCE ... a deeper lookWhen the sun is shining-there is light and it is warm and dryWhen the sun goes downit gets darker, colderand towards the morningthe earth become damp with dewWould it then, be true to say:The sun is the causeof darkness cold and dampness?This may sound right-but it is not correctThe sun did not cause these thingsThese thing are automatically thereIt is when the sun comes up;that these things are taken awayLikewise...When God removeshis beams of light from mankindthey become dark and cold and dampGod is NOT the cause of those things!!Those things are automatically there-due to sin being in the worldWhen the sun is on one side of the earthGod doesn't have to supernaturallymake the other side dark-It's automatic!!and likewise;God does not have to force anyone to sinIt's automatic!!It is our "nature"to be sinning machineswith masses of sin are within usLet's go deeperJames 2:10For whosoever shall keep the whole law,and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of allThe above doesn't sayif you broke one of these lawsthat you have broke them all-but that you are guilty of allThis is why we really need to deeply repent always!!Remember Christ came to magnify the lawand thus made the Law a much higher and Spiritual lawCommitting adultery is sin-yet Christ taught a much higher spiritual messagethat even thought of committing adultery was sinThink for a minute-of a sin that you considerto be one of the most despicable of sinsWhen that person committed that sin;was he not also guilty of ALL the law?I didn't say he broke ALL the other lawsbut that he is indeed guilty of ALLLikewise if you break one of these lawsyou also would be guilty of ALLI didn't say you would ever commit thesame despicable sin you thought about-but that even in a sin you did commityou are just as guilty of ALLincluding the one you judged as so despicable!!Rom 2:1Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man,whosoever thou art that judgest:for wherein thou judgest another,thou condemnest thyself;for thou that judgest doest the same thingsRom 2:3And thinkest thou this, O man,that judgest them which do such things,and doest the same, that thou shaltescape the judgment of God?This is how serious sin is to God!!We may haven't literally committed the despicable sinbut any sin we do commit accounts usjust as guilty of any and ALL sins that are possibleGod makes vessles of honor and dishonorMost of us were blessed by God-being made NOT to travel downsuch a dark alley of despicable sinMay we stop judging the sins of othersand spend more time repenting for our own

YOUR GOD ... or ... MY GOD ... YOU DECIDE (Part 2)

YOUR GOD ... or ... MY GOD ... YOU DECIDE (Part 2)I believed in the Trinity ...and then I looked for myselfThe Trinity as defined byHastings Dictionary of the Bible Page 1015:The Christian doctrine of Godas existing in three Persons and one Substanceis not demonstrable by logic or scriptual proofRegardless, those that believe in and teach the Trinitybelieve that it is, "...a necessary "hypothesis"that there are three persons to the Godhead:God the FatherThe Holy Ghost (Spirit)Jesus Christ the Son of GodHypothesis as defined by Webster's Dictionary:A system or theory imagined or assumedto account for what is not understoodAn unproved theory, a speculative plan...a formulation of underlying principlesof certain observed phenomenawhich has been verified to some degree... a conjecture; guessFacts:First of all, God ..IS.. Spirit; not "a" SpiritJohn 4:24"God is SPIRIT,and those who are worshiping himmust be worshiping in spirit and truth"Nowhere in the Scripturesis God referred to or called a "trinity"or a person or consisting of threeThe word "three" is never usedin reference to Who or What God isGod is never called or referred to as "a person"The Holy Spirit is never called "God"Since Christ is the Son,he cannot also be the Fatheror be coequal with his FatherJesus plainly said:John 14:28"My Father is GREATER than I"John 17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know theethe ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sentCountless things can be said to "be ONE"in numerous forms of close relationship;In this close relationship of purpose,will, harmony, etc; our Lord said:John 10:30"I and the Father, We are ONE"One plus one plus one DOES NOT equal oneOne God plus one God plus one GodDOES NOT equal one GodOne third of a God plus one third of a God plus one third of a GodDOES NOT equal one whole GodThe Holy Spirit ..OF.. God cannot also be that same GodANYTHING that is either "from" or "of " something ELSEcannot also "BE" that something else no matter what or who it isA "Father" and a "Son"CANNOT ALSO BE THE SAME PERSONJesus did not say:"I and the Father, We are one GOD," did He? No, He did notDo the Scriptures, however, tell usthat there is only ONE GOD? Yes, they doDo the Scriptures, tell usWHO that ONE God is? Yes, they doDo the Scriptures tell uswhat the relationship of Jesus Christ iswith that ONE God? Yes, they doIn fact, all of these things are answered in ONE ScriptureHere is the ONLY Scripture you will EVER need forunderstanding Who Jesus Christ and God the Father areand how many Gods there are, andWho composes that ONE God1Cor 8:5-6"For though there be that are called gods,whether in heaven or in earth,(as there be gods many and lords many,)But to US there is but ONE God, the Father,of whom are all things, and we in him;and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whomare all things and we by himand the next verse:Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge (ver 7)How many Gods are there?Answer: "ONE God."Of Whom is this ONE God composed?Answer: "the FATHER"NOT, the Father, AND the Son, AND the Holy GhostJust, "the Father!" ONLY,"the Father "ONE God, the FATHER!"Is Jesus Christan equal part of this "ONE God?"NO, He is notLet Gods' Word tell usWe don’t need to speculate and theorizeHere is Who and What Jesus Christ is,He is the "ONE Lord"This Scripture tells us that"ALL IS OUT OF" GOD (the FATHER)And this Scripture tells us that"ALL IS THROUGH" Jesus ChristGod the Father is the first cause of alland ALL IS OUT GOD,even Jesus Christ is "OUT of God "John 16:27-28"...I (Jesus) came OUT from GodI CAME OUT from the FATHER..."Now if Jesus came out from the trinity,why doesn’t the Scriptures say so?He didn’t come out from the trinityand He didn’t come out of the Holy Spirit,but HE DID COME, "...OUT FROM THE FATHER!"And after Jesus Christ came OUT from the Father,ALL ELSE came THROUGH Jesus Christ:Col 1: 14-17Who (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn of every creature:For by him were all things created, that are in heaven,and that are in the earth, visible and invisible,whether they be thrones, or dominions or principalities,or powers:all things were created by him and for him:And he is before all things, and by him all things consistChrist came OUT FROM THE FATHERand all else was created THROUGH Jesus ChristThere is no trinity here!!1Tim 2:5For there is ONE God,and ONE Mediator OF God and mankind, the MAN Christ Jesus..."John 14:28"...I am going to the Father, for the Father is GREATER than I"John 17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know theethe ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent1Cor 11:3"Now I want you to be awarethat the Head of every man is Christ,yet the head of the woman is the man,yet the Head of Christ IS GOD"Eph 1:3"Blessed be the God and Father OF our Lord Jesus Christ"Col 1:3"We are thanking the God and Father OF our Lord Jesus Christ"1Pet 1:3"Blessed be the God and Father " OF OUR LORD Jesus Christ,Eph 1:17"...that the GOD OF OUR LORD Jesus Christ, the FATHER..."And just who was it;who raised Jesus from the grave?Acts 2:24"Ye men of Israel, hear these words,Jesus of Nazareth... whom GOD HAS RAISED UPhaving loosed the pains OF DEATH"Rom 8:9,11,14"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit,if so be that the Spirit OF GOD dwell in you...But if the Spirit OF HIM (GOD the FATHER)that RAISED UP JESUS FROM THE DEAD dwell in you,He (GOD the FATHER) that RAISED UP CHRIST FROM THE DEADshall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells in you...For as many as are led by the SPIRIT OF GOD (GOD the FATHER),they are the sons of God (God the Father, not sons of the Son)"Gal 1:1"Paul, an apostle, (not of man, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ,and GOD THE FATHER, WHO RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD")Let me make this as easy as I canThere is one God; the FatherThe Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God the FatherJesus Christ the Son,came forth and proceededFROM and OUT of God the FatherThen Jesus Christ did all the creatingwhich is precisely why he being the "Creator"could die and save his entire creationThe Son was given the full measure of the Fathers Spiritand he in turn gives us measures of this same SpiritIf the trinity was true, and the Holy Spirit was a person...when the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and she conceived-Jesus would be the Son of the Holy Spirit and not the Son of GodIn Conclusion,Is Jesus God or is he not God?Yes Jesus is God,When the Pharisees accused Jesus of blasphemingbecause He said He was "The SON of God,"Jesus reminded themthat their own scriptures state that, "YE ARE GODS"Psalm 82:6"I have said, YE ARE GODS;and all of you are CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH"So Jesus is God and Ye are Godsboth having come forth from the ONLY true God-but neither Jesus or Ye;are or ever will be the ONLY true God the Fatherwho is GREATEST of allEph 5:31-32"For WE (believers) ARE membersof His (Jesus) body, of His flesh, and of His bonesFor this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,and shall be joined unto his wife,and they TWO shall be ONE fleshThis is a great mystery:but I speak concerning Christ and THE CHURCH""That they ALL may be ONE(Who?-ALL; How many?-ONE)as you Father are in Me, and I in You,that they also may be ONE in US...John 17:21-22And the glory which You gave to Me I have given them,that they may be ONE, EVEN AS WE ARE ONE"This IS the Scripture that Jesus quotedThey didn't accept what Jesus said,and some people will not accept what I am sayingOnce again;Gen 2:24"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be ONE FLESH"How many people?-TWO;How many flesh?-ONEThere, the Scriptural answer!!"...that they may be ONE,even as WE (Jesus AND His Father) ARE ONE!!HOW many Persons? Jesus & Father-TWO;HOW many GODS?-ONE GODAs a "husband and wife" ARE ONE,and "Jesus and His Church," ARE ONE,so also "Jesus and His Father," ARE ONEWill there be two or three Godsto choose from after the dust settles?NO!!Jesus came forth and proceededFROM and OUT of the Father and is our bridgewhich brings what was lost back unto the FatherFor now he sits at the "right hand" of the FatherWhen he has accomplishedexactly what he came into being to DOwhat will happen to him and his rule?1Cor 15:24,25Then shall the end come, when he (Christ)hands over the Kingdom to God the Fatherafter he has destroyed all dominion, authority, and powerFor he must reign ..UNTIL.. he has put all his enemies under his feetJohn 17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know theethe ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sentAlso... Shocking as this may be:1John 5:7-8 should read:"For there are three that bear record,the spirit, and the water, and the blood:and these three agree in one"The words"...in heaven the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:and these three are oneand there are three that bear witness in earth..."are NOT Scriptures and are NOT found in ANY Greek Manuscriptsor even the early Latin Fathers writings and translationsThese spurious words appear in no reputable manuscript,and no manuscript period, before the FIFTEEN CENTURY!No Biblical Scholar thinks those wordsare part of any original manuscripts or ScripturesThey are as spurious as the pagan trinity doctrineThe Holy Spirit ..OF.. Godis certainly not a "person" as you suggestThe Holy Spirit is the "Spirit ..OF.. God the Father"I assure you, however, thatGod the Father is not the "Father ..OF.. the Holy Spirit"Think about that for a few thousand hoursPaul ALWAYS addressed and praisedGod the Father and His Lord Jesus Christin EVERY salutation in EVERY epistle He ever wroteExample:Gal 1:1-2"Paul, an apostle of JESUS CHRIST by the will of GOD,to the saints which are at Ephesus,and to the faithful in CHRIST JESUS:Grace be to you, and peace, fromGOD OUR FATHER AND FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST"But Paul never ONCEmentioned or addressedthe Holy Spirit in ANY of his epistles EVERDo you have a good explanationfor such an gross omission and degradation of the Holy Spirit,if the Holy Spirit is PERSON, and VERY GOD?The verse was added to the Bible;by the Catholic Church, to back the Trinity teachingALL in ALLThere is ONE GODJesus Christ came OUT ..FROM.. Godand is called the "Son ..OF.. God"The Holy Spirit comes OUT ..FROM.. Godand is called the "Spirit ..OF.. God"God has bestowed on JesusALL THAT HE IS AND ALL THAT HE HAS,Therefore,Jesus also, has this SAME SPIRITThereforeThere is the "Spirit ..OF.. Christ"which is the SAME Spirit ..OF.. GodThey BOTH possess the SAME SPIRIT-and because they both possess the SAME SPIRIT,they are indeed ONEGod promises believersthe obtaining of this same spirit alsoThereforeWE TOO...become ONE WITH CHRIST AND OUR FATHERFurthermore,all of God's creatureswill one day possess this same spiritand then God will be "All in ALL" (1Cor 15:28)I believed in Tithing and then I looked for myselfWhy hasn't your church taught you this about Tithing?Of all the tribes of Israel, the tribe of Levite was designatedby God to serve as the PriesthoodBecause of the sacrificial duties of this assignment,this tribe was not able to own land, raise crops,or tend to herds and flocks as the other tribesGod therefore instructed Israel:Numbers 18:24-28"But the TITHES of the children of Israel, which they offeras an heave offering unto the Lord, I have givento the LEVITES to inherit:therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israelthey shall have no inheritanceNot just anyone could claim to represent Godand receive the tithes-only the Levites!!Where did these tithes come from?Leviticus 27:30-33"And all the TITHE of the LAND, whether of the SEED of the land,or of the FRUIT, of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the LordAnd if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes,he shall add thereto the fifth part thereofAnd concerning the TITHE of the HERD, or of the FLOCK,even of whatsoever passes under the rod,the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord(the 10th one that was counted as it passed under the rod)He shall not search whether it begood or bad, neither shall he change it..."The tithe was from the land, the herds, and the flocksNot from the air or the sea(fishermen were not required to tithe fish)It was the "seed" or agricultural productsfrom the field that was holy to God and tithableProducts from "trees" were to be tithedThis not only included the fruit, but oils etcNOT YOUR MONEY!!(does anyone see money listed here?)Also, notice, where our churches todayinstruct us to pay the ..FIRST.. tenth to the church-God said ..the tenth one...of the herd or flock that passed under the rod,as they were counting, was to be the tithe!!It was not the first tenth, but ratherthe tenth tenth that belonged to GodIf the herdsman only had nine cowshe didn't have to tithe at all !!In the old testament, the Day of Atonementrevealed the future salvation through JesusOnce a year, the High Priestwould lay his hands on the head of a living goatcalled the "scapegoat"This act, was to pass all the sins of Israelfor that year onto the sacrificeJohn the Baptist, through his fatherZacharias and his mother Elisabeth,was a descendant of Aaron ther High PriestHe was the last Levite Priestin the line of Aaron; and it was he,who put the sins of the worldonto the head of Jesus at his baptismJesus then proceeded to the cross;shed his blood, and died for the sins of the worldThe Levitical system of sacrifices endedwhen Christ died on the cross,and the veil in the templewas torn from top to bottomNo longer was there anymorea need for the animal sacrificesNo longer was there a needfor the sacrificial systemNo longer was there a needfor the Levite PriesthoodNo longer was there a needfor tithing to the tribe of LevitesNo longer was there Tithing!!Notice this remarkable storyof the only time the temple taxcame up in the ministry of JesusMost Christians will never hearan explanation of these versesas long as they live!!These verses are highly incriminatingto those who teach the tithing of money to the Church:Matt 17: 24-27"And when they were come to Capernaum,they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said,Does not your master pay tribute(Greek: 'pay the double drachma'which was the exact amountof the annual Temple tax)?He says, Yes(Peter was embarrassed and apparentlynot honest with his answer)And when he was comeinto the house, Jesus prevented him(Greek: prophthano-to get an earlier start of,forestalls or anticipated him)saying, What do you think, Simon?Of whom do the kings of the earthtake custom or tribute (taxes)?Of their own children [sons] or of strangers?Peter said unto Him, of strangersJesus said unto him,THEN ARE THE CHILDREN FREENotwithstanding,LEST WE SHOULD OFFEND THEM,go thou to the sea, and cast an hook,and take up the fish that first comes up;and when you have opened his mouth,thou shall find a piece of moneythat take and give unto themfor Me and thee"What an amazing truth!!No wonder most Christianshave never heard this Scripture explainedThe reason Peter said "yes" to the tribute collectorwas because it was embarrassing to Himto say, "NO, my master does NOT pay temple tax"It was such a small amount of money(less than a dollar)But then Peter has to go into the houseand give Jesus an appraisal of what had just happenedJesus being merciful to Peterdoes not reprimand him for not being honestwith the tribute collector, but rather, cuts him off(forestalls him) before he can speakand saves Peter the embarrassmentThe point is this:Jesus did not pay temple tax...becauseJesus is the King of the kingdom!!And if the children are free, certainly; the King Himself is free!!THE CHILDREN ARE FREE!!Malachi 3:8-12"Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me.But you say, Wherein have we robbed thee?In tithes and offeringsYe are cursed with a curse:for ye have robbed me, even this whole nationBring ye all the tithes into the storehouse,that there may be meat in mine house,and prove me now herewith, saith the Lordof hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven,and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not beroom enough to receive itIt is obvious from the above text,that God was not at all pleased with theIsraelites concerning their tithing practicesNow, all those, who BELIEVE ...that tithing is validfor the New Testament Church-are correct in believing that the above verses APPLY to themIf they tithe they may expect blessings,if they don't, they may expect cursesBut what is wrong with the above statement?The "error" comes from the re-definitionof two keywords used in the above text;by those who want to present tithing in their own wayThe "tithes" are presented to be the tenth portionof your income which is given away and depositedinto the "storehouse"The "storehouse"is presented to be your church's savings accountBOTH OF THESE TWO DEFINITIONS ARE FALSEThe key to understanding this is in the preceding verse:Malachi 3:7Even from the days of your fathersye are gone away from mine ordinances,and have not kept themGod is pointing the Israelites (and us)to his "ordinances" concerning tithingTithing according to God's ordinancesDeu12:17-19Thou mayest not eat within thy gatesthe tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine...But thou must eat them before the Lord thy God...thou, and thy son and thy daughter, and thy manservant,and thy maidservant and the Levite that is within thy gates:and thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy GodDeu14:22-23Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seedthat the field bringeth forth year by yearAnd thou shalt eat before the Lord thy Godin the place that he shall choose to place his name there,the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine...that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God alwaysDeu 14:24-26And if the way be too long for thee,so that thou art not able to carry it...Then shalt thou turn it into money,and bind up the money in thine hand,and shall go unto the place whichthe Lord thy God shall choose:And thou shalt bestow that moneyfor whatsoever thy soul lusteth after,for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine,or for ..STRONG DRINK.., or for whatsoever thy soul desireth:and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God,and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thine household.Those were the commandments of Godconcerning tithing which were given to MosesI find this verses to be worthy of thought:Deu12:8,9Ye shall ..NOT..do after all the things that we do here this day,every man whatsoever is right in his own eyesFor ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance,which the Lord your God giveth youSo, the Israelites were supposed to take their tithesto the appointed place, and eat them there before the Lord,rejoicing, with their family, their servants and their local Levitewho was within their gatesThe Levites were to be allocated citieswithin each tribe ("within your gates")where they were supposed to live with their familiesThese Levites were not those who servedin the Tabernacle (or, later on, in the temple),but those who have chosen to remainin their cities within each tribal landThey would join the Israelites on those special tripsto the appointed place of worship, where they would joinin the celebrations and consumption of tithesThe Israeliteswere commanded to ..EAT.. their tithesThe tithes were supposed to be consumedin an atmosphere of celebration, sharing, andcommunion with fellow Israelites and with GodTherefore, this is not the tithespoken of in Malachi given for the storehouseWas the temple used as a storehouse?Neh10:37-38And that we should bring...the tithes of our ground unto the Levitesthat the same Levites might have the tithesin all the cities of our tillage(farming community)And the priest, the son of Aaron,shall be with the Levites when the Levites take tithes:and the Levites shall bring up the tithe (10th) of the tithesunto the house of our God, to the chambers,into the treasure houseSome rooms in the temple were indeed referred toas the "storehouse", but they were used to storethe tithes of the tithes (10th of the tithes)which were called the "heave offerings"that the LEVITES were to give to the priestsTherefore, these rooms in the templewere not the "storehouse"where the ISRAELITES were to bring their tithesThe Levites were to receive their tithesin the places where they lived in their farming communitiesfrom which they would give tithes to the priestsin conclusion...THE CHRISTIAN TITHING LAW:Where did the "Christian Law of Tithing come from?"The Bible?Absolutely not !!There is not one single example in the Bibleof a "Christian" tithing to the churchor a command to do so,and that is a Scriptural fact!!Notice this telling bit of historyfrom the Encyclopedia Britannica:"Tithes in Christendom―The earliest authentic example of anythinglike a law of the State enforcing paymentappears to occur in the capitularies [ecclesiasticals]of Charlemagne at the end of the 8th or beginning of the 9th centuryTithes were by that enactment to be appliedto the maintenance of the bishop, clergy, the poor,and the fabric of the churchIn the course of timethe principle of payment of tithes was extendedFAR BEYOND its original intentionThus they became transferable to laymenand saleable like ordinary property,in spite of the injunctions of the third Lateran Council;and they became payableOUT OF SOURCES OF INCOME[not just farming and herding, but other tradesand occupations and salaries paid in the form of money]NOT ORIGINALLY TITHABLE"(1963, volume 22, page 253, ‘TITHES’) (Emphasis mine)Unbelievable!!!It was from the powerful Catholic Churchthat the unscriptural practice(did you notice the word "enforcing?")of Christian tithing originatedmany hundreds of years after the original ApostlesTruth be known, the "Reformation" did virtually nothingto "reform" the corrupted Church of ChristEnforcing the tithing of money on Believersas if it were a law of God to do so,is a damnable heresy that has caused untold pain and sufferingand only led to more corruption and worldliness in the ChurchEither tithing is a law that Christians must obey or it isn’t a lawIf it is, then it is a SIN to not tithe,and no one could be saved until they repented of breaking this lawBut if it is not a law, then it is a SIN to teach that it is a law!!And as it decidedly is nota New Covenant Law binding on Christians-Those who teach it will be condemned and cursedfor teaching it and living like worldly fat cats from it...As they sow: so shall they reapAs they judge others: so shall they be judgedWhat measure of punishmentthey deem fit in their false teaching:they will have measured back on themScriptural tithing was for Israelites ONLY,giving a tenth of farm and herd products ONLY,under the law of Moses ONLY,to the poor, widows, strangers, and the tribe of Levite ONLY,up until the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD, ONLYNOTHING else is "Biblical Tithing"Abraham NEVER tithed his own personal property,Jacob said he would tithe once,but ..ONLY.. after God would make him rich firstJesus NEVER taught His disciples to tithe to the church!!The Apostles NEVER collected tithes from the church!!Paul NEVER taught tithing to the Gentilesor collected tithes from them!!And money was NEVER EVERa tithable commodity, not even under MosesTrue Believers are cheerful, generous givers,not coerced and threatened tithe payersEASTER...with their backs toward the temple of the Lord;they worshipped the sun toward the eastThe Pagan Origin of EASTEREaster is a day that is honoredby nearly all of contemporary Christianityand is used to celebratethe resurrection of Jesus ChristThe holiday often involvesa church service at sunrise,a feast which includes an "Easter Ham",decorated eggs and stories about rabbitsThose who love truthlearn to ask questions,and many questions must be askedregarding the holiday of EasterIs it truly the daywhen Jesus arose from the dead?Where did all ofthe strange customs come from,which have nothing to dowith the resurrection of our Saviour?The purpose of this writingis to help answer those questions,and to help those who seek truthto draw their own conclusionsThe first thing we must understandis that professing Christianswere not the only oneswho celebrated a festivalcalled "Easter""Ishtar", which is pronounced "Easter"was a day that commemoratedthe resurrection of one of their godsthat they called "Tammuz",Tammuz was believed to bethe only begotten sonof the moon-goddess and the sun-godIn those ancient times,there was a man named Nimrod,who was the grandsonof one of Noah's sons named HamHam had a son named Cushwho married a woman named SemiramisCush and Semiramisthen had a son named him "Nimrod"After the death of his father,Nimrod married his own motherand became a powerful KingThe Bible tells us of this man,Nimrod, in Genesis 10:8-10 as follows:"And Cush begat Nimrod:he began to be a mighty one in the earthHe was a mighty hunter before the Lord:wherefore it is said,even as Nimrodthe mighty hunter before the LordAnd the beginning of his kingdomwas Babel, and Erech, and Accad,and Calneh,in the land of ShinarNimrod became a god-man to the peopleand Semiramis, his wife and mother,became the powerful Queen of ancient BabylonNimrod was eventually killed by an enemy,and his body was cut in pieces and sent tovarious parts of his kingdomSemiramis had all of the parts gathered,except for one part that could not be foundThat missing part was his reproductive organSemiramis claimed that Nimrodcould not come back to life without it;and told the people of Babylonthat Nimrod had ascended to the sunand was now to be called "Baal", the sun godQueen Semiramis also proclaimedthat Baal would be present on earthin the form of a flame,whether candle or lamp, when used in worshipSemiramis was creating a mystery religion,and with the help of Satan,she set herself up as a goddessSemiramis claimedthat she was immaculately conceivedShe taught that the moon was a goddessthat went through a 28 day cycleand ovulated when fullShe further claimedthat she came down from the moonin a giant moon eggthat fell into the Euphrates RiverThis was to have happenedat the time of the first full moonafter the spring equinoxSemiramis became known as "Ishtar"which is pronounced "Easter",and her moon eggbecame known as "Ishtar's" egg"Ishtar soon became pregnantand claimed that it was the raysof the sun-god Baalthat caused her to conceiveThe son that she brought forthwas named TammuzTammuz was notedto be especially fond of rabbits,and they became sacred in the ancient religion,because Tammuz was believedto be the son of the sun-god, BaalTammuz, like his supposed father, became a hunterThe day camewhen Tammuz was killed by a wild pigQueen Ishtar told the peoplethat Tammuz was now ascendedto his father, Baal,and that the two of themwould be with the worshippersin the sacred candle or lamp flameas Father, Son and SpiritIshtar, who was now worshippedas the "Mother of God and Queen of Heaven",continued to build her mystery religionThe queen told the worshippersthat when Tammuz was killed by the wild pig,some of his blood fell on the stumpof an evergreen tree, and the stump grewinto a full new tree overnightThis made the evergreen treesacred by the blood of TammuzThis would carry over to our Christmas belief-but it was actually the Son; of the Sun God Baalwho was born on Dec 25thJer 10:3For the customs of the people are vain:for one cutteth a tree out of the forest,the work of the hands of the workman, with the axeJer 10:4They deck it with silver and with gold;they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move notShe also proclaimed a forty day periodof time of sorrow each yearprior to the anniversary of the death of TammuzDuring this time, no meat was to be eatenWorshipers were to meditateupon the sacred mysteries of Baal and Tammuz,and to make the sign of the "T"in front of their hearts as they worshipedThey also ate sacred cakeswith the marking of a "T" or cross on the topEvery year, on the first Sundayafter the first full moon andafter the spring equinox, a celebration was madeIt was Ishtar's Sundayand was celebrated with rabbits and eggsIshtar also proclaimedthat because Tammuz was killed by a pig,that a pig must be eaten on that SundayBy now, the readers of this writingshould have made the connectionas to how paganism has infiltrated intothe contemporary "Christian" churches,and further study indicatesthat this paganism came inby way of the Roman Catholic SystemThe truth isthat Easter has nothing whatsoever to dowith the resurrection of our Lord Jesus ChristWe also know,that Easter can be as much as three weeksaway from the Passover,because this pagan holiday is always setas the first Sunday after the first full moonafter the spring equinoxSome have wonderedwhy the word "Easter"is in the the King James BibleIt is becauseActs, chapter 12, tells usthat it was the evil King Herod,who was planning to celebrate Easter,and not the ChristiansThe true Passover and pagan Eastersometimes coincide, but in some years,they are a great distance apartWe know that the Bible tells us in John 4:24,God is spirit: and they that worship himmust worship him in spirit and in truthThe truth is, that the forty days of Lent,eggs, rabbits,hot cross buns and the Easter hamhave everything to do with the ancient paganreligion of Mystery BabylonAnd they are all, anti-christ activities!!Satan is a master deceiver, and has filled the livesof well-meaning, professing Christians with idolatryThese things bringthe wrath of Godupon children of disobedience,who try to make the pagancustoms of Baal Christian worshipYou must answerfor your activitiesand for what youteach your childrenThese customs of Easter honor Baal,who is also Satan, and is still worshippedas the "Rising Sun" and his house is the"House of the Rising Sun"How many churches have "sunrise services"on Ishtar's day and face the rising sun in the East?What does the true God think about Sun Worship?Eze 8:16And he brought me intothe inner court of the LORD'S house,and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD,between the porch and the altar,were about five and twenty men,with their backs toward the temple of the LORD,and their faces toward the east;and they worshiped the sun toward the eastEze 8:17Then he said unto me,Hast thou seen this, O son of man?Is it a light thing to the house of Judahthat they commit the abominationswhich they commit here?In conclusionYahushuah (Jesus)said there would be one sign giventhat would prove who he really wasMat 12:40For as Jonaswas three days and three nightsin the whale's belly;so shall the Son of man bethree days and three nightsin the heart of the earthA Good Friday Crucifixionis not possible as it does notallow for the three daysin the heart of the earthA day according to the Bible,is from "even to even"or "sunset to sunset"Lev 23:32From "even" to "even"shall ye celebrate your SabbathBut when is "even"?Mark 1:32And at "even" when the sun did setThat is why in Genesis 1:5,8 It says;And the evening and the morningwere the first day,And the evening and the morningwere the second day,Darkness came firstat the beginning of a dayaccording to the Bible!SUNSET SAT TO SUNSET SUN.....DAY 1 (SUNDAY)SUNSET SUN TO SUNSET MON....DAY 2 (MONDAY)SUNSET MON TO SUNSET TUE....DAY 3 (TUESDAY)SUNSET TUE TO SUNSET WED....DAY 4 (WEDNESDAY)SUNSET WED TO SUNSET THU....DAY 5 (THURSDAY)SUNSET THU TO SUNSET FRI......DAY 6 (FRIDAY)SUNSET FRI TO SUNSET SAT.......DAY 7 (SATURDAY)Therefore Yahushuah (Jesus)was crucified Wed at sunset:DAY 1 Wed sunset to Thurs sunsetDAY 2 Thurs sunset to Fri sunsetDAY 3 Fri sunset to Sat (Sabbath) sunsetMat 28:1In the end of the sabbath,as it began to dawntoward the first day of the week,came Mary Magdalene and the other Maryto see the sepulchreYahushuah (Jesus)rose from the tomb Sat at sunsetwhich would be the first day of the weekaccording to an actual Bible day-SUN-dayAct 17:30And the times of this ignorance God winked at;but now commandeth all men every where to repentJUDGMENT BY FIREMUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GODActs 17:31Because He hath appointed A DAY, in whichHe will JUDGE THE WORLD (Greek-inhabited earth)in righteousnessBefore God brings this final judgmenton the entirety of the world,he must first perform another judgmenton another group of people...This judgment is going on right now,yet many are not even aware of it1Pet 4:16-17Yet if any man suffer as a Christian,let him not be ashamed;but let him glorify God on this behalfFor the TIME IS COME thatJUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GODJohn the Baptist said that Jesuswould be baptizing repentant believers with fireMatt 3:11I indeed baptize you with water unto REPENTANCE:but He that comes after me is mightier than I,Whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit,AND WITH FIREPeter said:1Pet 4:12Beloved, think it NOT STRANGEconcerning the fiery trial which is to try you,as though some STRANGE thing happened unto youPeter also said:1Pet 1:7That the trial of your faith,being much more precious than of gold that perishes,though it (your faith) be TRIED IN THE FIRE,might be found unto praise and honour and gloryat the appearing of Jesus ChristPaul said:1Cor 3:13Every man’s work (including believers)shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it,because it shall be revealed BY FIRE, and the FIREshall try every man’s work of what sort it isJesus said:Mark 9:49For EVERY ONE (sinner and saint)shall be salted with FIREChristian will NOT escape beingrevealed, tried, salted, and baptized by FIREWhatever this "fire" is,it is going to be used ON EVERYONE (Rev 21:8)And are these non-believersjudged differently from believerswho are revealed, tried, salted and baptized IN FIRE?Just HOW are these non-believers judgedin the book of Revelation?How are the "fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers,and idolaters, and all liars..." JUDGED?Answer: ...In the lake WHICH BURNS WITH FIREIs this "fire" in the book of Revelation DIFFERENTfrom the fire that tries the works of believersin the book of I Corinthians?NO, The word "fire"used in the four examples above concerning believers,is the SAME word "fire" used in the book of Revelationconcerning non-believers:STRONG’s Greek Dictionary of the New Testament:page 219, #4442, pur; a primary word; "fire"(literally OR FIGURATIVELY) Pur is used(besides its ordinary natural significance)Strong’s Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible:in Rev 3:18 it is SYMBOLIC ofthat which tries the faith of saints,PRODUCING WHAT WILL GLORIFY THE LORD;NOTE:It is NOT the "believer" who "produces" these glorious things,but it is the "SYMBOLIC FIRE" that produces themAnd just Who is this "symbolic fire?"It is, of course, GODFor OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE (Heb 12:29)Also from Strong's:of the fire of DIVINE JUDGMENT upon the REJECTERS of Christ,Matt 3:11 (where a distinction is to be made betweenthe baptism of the holy Spirit at Pentecostand the "fire" of divine retribution;Acts 2:3 could not refer to baptism); Luke 3:16In conclusion...Unless God Almightythrough the purging power of His FIERY SPIRIT,is BURNING OUT the lusts and passions and vanityand haughtiness and greed and self-righteousnessand laziness and weakness and hypocrisy and wickednessand pride and materialism and cynicism and depravityand carnality in your life,then Jesus Christ is NOT choosing youto reign with Himas the Sons of God in the Kingdom of Godand to bring ALL Heaven and Earthto repentance and salvationOur character flaws of the mind and spiritare going to be burned out of us allGod will either BURN OUT these filthy impuritiesfrom our hearts and minds NOW,or He will BURN THEM OUT IN THE LAKE OF FIRE,but either way, make no mistake about it,THESE THINGS ARE COMING OUT!!!PARABLESChrist spoke ONLY in parableswhen talking with the masses,Matt 13:34"ALL these thingsspake Jesus unto the multitude in PARABLES;and without a parable spake He NOT unto them"PARABLES ARE SPIRITUALA parable is a storythat contains in figurative or symbolic languagea higher moral or spiritual truthParables are HIGHER, SPIRITUAL,GLORIOUS teachings of ETERNAL thingsLiterallythey are of little consequence;Spirituallythey are of enormous consequenceBut without knowing...what the symbols represent in a parable-no one could ever understand the higher meaningTherefore the multitudes of peopledid not understand the teaching of Jesus Christ,becauseHe did not explain the meaningof the symbols to the masses-only to his disciples in privateSome parables require only a little spiritual understandingExample:The Parable of a Beam in One’s EyeThere are few believers who would notunderstand the meaning of this parable,although they might not practice its teachingOthers such as The Parable of the Prodigal Sonrequires much more spiritual understanding,as there are many more spiritual truths within this storyMany Christians can only understand parablesthat require very little spiritual understandingWhen reading the "deeper" parables,they can not comprehend The higher meaningwhich is totally missed, and/or not believedA simple example:"Another parable spoke He unto them;The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven,which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal,till the whole was leavened"Jesus didn’t explain this parable,So what does it mean?Most, ...certainly understand,that leaven (like yeast) put into doughwill cause the dough to rise through fermentationBut what is the spiritual application of this parable?Paul tells us that,1Cor5:6"Know ye not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump"But who believes this parable?According to Jesus, the kingdom of Godis like this parable of the leaven and the lumpThe kingdom of God moves and worksthroughout the entirety of the universeuntil the WHOLE of God’s creation is broughtunder its influenceBut who believes it?The time comeswhen Jesus Christ will turn overthe kingdom of God to His Father:1Cor 15:24,28b"Then comes the end,when He shall have delivered upthe kingdom to God, even the Father;when He shall have put down all ruleand all authority and power… that GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL"Then the whole lump will be leavened with God!!Everyone―ALLThis parable is not literalThe kingdom of God is not literally "leaven in a lump of dough!!These teachings are SPIRITUAL!!!They teach GREAT SPIRITUAL TRUTHS!!!Every parable teaches a spiritual truthIf you do not understandthe parable of the leaven and the dough-you don’t understand the gospel!!Because the leaven in the doughis like the kingdom of Godand Jesus came preachingthe "GOSPEL" OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD!!!You see...if the leavendoes NOT leaven the WHOLE lump,then it is NOT "like the kingdom of God"Anything that does not involve the whole (everyone)cannot be "like" the kingdom of GodFor anything to be"like" the kingdom of God...it must involve the whole, the all, everyone, ALL MANKINDTherefore Jesus said...The kingdom of God is "like" leaventhat leavens the WHOLE LUMP!!!The Secret of PrayingHow to have every prayerthat you will ever pray-answered....Guaranteed!!First you must know and believe:Elohim is a Sovereign God,knowing ALL THINGSbefore you even ask andEph 1:11Who works ALL THINGSafter the council of HIS OWN WILLJesus himself, revealed an amazing truthduring his most serious moment in prayerin the garden of Gethsemane afterthe last supper with his disciplesMat 26:36Then cometh Jesus with themunto a place called Gethsemane,and saith unto the disciples,Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonderMat 26:37And he took with him Peterand the two sons of Zebedee,and began to be sorrowful and very heavyMat 26:38Then saith he unto them,My soul is EXCEEDINGLY SORROWFUL,even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with meMat 26:39And he went a little farther,and FELL ON HIS FACE, and prayed, saying,O my Father, if it be possible, LET THIS CUP PASSfrom me: nevertheless not as I will, BUT AS THOU WILTWas Jesus sincerely, with all his heart, requesting thatIF AT ALL POSSIBLE "let this cup pass?"YES, He surely was!!Did God answer the prayer of Jesus to "let this cup pass?"NO, He didn’t!!Yet, did not Jesus get His prayer answered?YES, He surely did!!How so?Because Jesus’ greater desirewas that his Father’s will be done,rather than "let this cup pass"Jesus has just shown usnot only the answer to ALL answered prayerbut also the answer to ALL unanswered prayer!!If you always pray, "not as I will, but as THOU will,"all of your prayers will be answered too!!Whether you always get what you desireor you do not get what you desire,if your greatest desire of all desiresis for "THY WILL be done,"then you can rest assured that from this day forward,all of your prayers will always be answered!!Elohim's WILL which is his intention for the wayhe has already preordained everything to go,will always be done!!And believe me,No prayer has ever changedwhat God has planned or purposed to happenexactly as he preordained and WILLED for it to happenIf it is God’s intentionfor you to be blessed by some particular favor,and God INSPIRES you to pray for that favorthen it will surely be given to youIf on the other hand,if it was not God’s intentionfor you to be blessed by some particular favor,then no amount of prayingwill cause God to grant it to youEither way, God’s will must and will be done,and if that is your GREATEST DESIRE in your prayersthen whether you receive some particular favoror you don’t receive it, nevertheless,your prayer will be answered!!1John 5:14And this is the confidence that we have in him,that, if we ask any thingACCORDING TO HIS WILL,he heareth usRom 8:26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities (weaknesses):for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:but the Spirit itself maketh intercession (prayer) for uswith groanings which cannot be utteredSo what should you pray for?Anything you desire that aligns with God's WILLIf God has blessed you with your physical needsof food, clothing, shelter, and transportation-then pray for the qualities of love, mercy, forgiveness,kindness, gentleness, meekness, faith, courage,knowledge, understanding, wisdom,patience, self-control, and thankfulness!!God is our Father and Jesus is our SaviourGod wants to hear from you!!Talk to him!!About anything and everything important enoughfor you to think about or be concerned aboutAnd always be thankful!!At night when you lay down to sleep, spend a few minutes,and thank God not only for your loved ones;but even for your pillow, your bed,the shelter over your head,your refrigerator, your indoor plumbing,the water you have to drinkand above all these, the Father who loved youso far beyond your understanding,that he sacrificed his only Sonso that you may live and becomehis very image and Son/DaughterTHE SACRED NAMESThe Sacred Names were thought to be to Sacredto be uttered and therefore they were removedfrom the Scriptures over 6,800 times andreplaced with Lord or Godand soMasses of Christians, have been pursuingfor many years, a personal relationshipwith their Lord and Saviourand yet, after all this time;They, have never even known his real name!!WHOM SEEK YEProverbs 30:4who has established all the ends of the earth?what is His NAME, and what is his Son's NAME,IF THOU CANST TELL?A brief study in linguisticsTo translate is to explain the meaningof one language using the words of anotherTo transliterate is to spell a wordusing the letters of another language"I am" is the English translationof the meaning of God’s personal nameThe English transliterationof God’s personal name is YHVH, or YHWHWith vowels added, YAHVEH or YAHWEH,being translated to I AM WHO I AMNo matter what language you use,whether you translate or transliterate,YHVH's name means "I am who I am"and it directly points to his real name,which is the same in all languagesYHVH is the personal NAME of the Creator,and revealed in the four letters YOD, HEY, VAV, HEYAlthough often transliterated as YAHWEH,But it is more accurately transliterated as YAHVEHNote:V is the better transliterationas there is there is no letterin Hebrew like the W (double-U)The four Hebrew letters transliterated YHVH are:a Yod, rhymes with "rode", which we transliterate..."Y"a He, rhymes with "say", which we transliterate.…."H"a Vav, like "lava", which we transliterate "W" or......."V"a He rhymes with "say", which we transliterate..…."H"Original Hebrew didn't have any vowels,and was written right to leftSome of the consonants carry with themthe indication of associated vowel soundsThe Y is associated with the sound of a "long e", as in “beam”The H is associated with the sound of a "short a" as “ah”The Vav ("W" or "V") is associated with the vowel “u”and produces the sound in the word "cool"The H is associated with the sound of a "short a" as “ah!”Thus, the name of the Creatorsounds something like "ee-ah oo' ah", (Yah-oo' ah)with the accent on the second of the three syllablesPsalm 68:4Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:extol him that rideth upon the heavensby his name YAH, and rejoice before him“JAH” is transliterated in Bible but there is no "J" in HebrewThe name of YAH is related to the Hebrew verb "Hoveh"which means "to be" ( I am I was I will be)Therefore "YAH Hoveh" (transliterated as JAH hoveh)in the present tense means "YAH is"So therefore, YAH could alsobe his actual or abbreviated nameDeut 6:4Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:SHMAA YISRAEL YAH HOVEH ELOHEINU YAH HOVEH ECHADHEAR ...ISRAEL..YAH..IS ..........OUR GOD.YAH..IS ........ONEEven the most ancient of praisesends with the name YAHYAH is the last partof the word "halleluYah" and means "praise YAH"Now let's take a closer look at the Son's NAMEThe Hebrew/Jewish name for the Jewish Messiah is:YAHU'SHUAHwritten.........Y'SHUAHspoken.........YAHU'SHUAH YEHOSHUA or YESHUApronounced...YAH-OO'-SHOO-AHY'SHUAH means"YAH is Salvation" or "YAH the Saviour"This sacred name was gradually changedto "Je-Zeus Khristos" by the pagan masseswho converted and joined the originally Jewish Messianic SectChristianity was born, with a mixtureof pagan customs and traditionsConstantine the Great, was a Zeus worshiper,who converted to Christianity which resultedin worshipers of the sun god, Zeus,entering into the Christian religionYAHU'SHUAH'S abbreviated form of Y'SHUAHbecame "Y'Zeus" or Je-Zeus which eventuallybecame "Jesus" in EnglishThe name "Jesus" was never appliedto the SAVIOUR during his lifetime,nor for nearly 300 years afterhis death and resurrectionThe correct name of the Messiah, YAHU'SHUAH,is the only name by which he was known to hisdisciples, though he has several titles such asRabbi, Son of Man, Saviour, Anointed, King of KingsNot even once did he ever hearhimself addressed as "Jesus Christ"even when the Greek proselytes went to Philip andsaid, "We would see YAHU'SHUAH" (John 12:20, 21)A second witness of such a changeis the translation of Luke 4:27,where it refers to the prophet "Eliseus"and an event recorded in 2 Kings 5:14The Prophet's Hebrew name, however,was 'Eli'Shuah', which means "God is my Salvation"The same pagan influence that changedY'SHUAH to "Y'Zeus" is reflected in the changeof "Eli'Shuah" to Eli' Zeus ("My God is Zeus")YAHU'SHUAH (or Y'SHUAH)is used often, in the Tanach (Old Testament)as well as in the official Jewish dailyand festival prayer books, where it isgenerally translated as "Salvation"The Father's name YHVHis written using four Hebrew letters(right to left) YOD HEY VAV HEYHis true Hebrew name is YAHUAHwhich means I WAS I

deliverance, overcoming,health, help, prosperity, and welfareWhen you add the root "Shu"to the Father's name between the "u" and the "a"this results in the Son's name YAHU'SHUAHYAHU'SHUAH and YAHUAH

FINISHED! "Angels Among Us" online gallery Open to the Public

Posted by Tony Snipes on September 22, 2009 at 6:18pm

After nearly 10 months in production, the “Angels Among Us” online art show, resource and book are complete. The project is actually a relaunch of the version we first kicked off back in 2003.This year I wanted to go bigger and better:

What's on the webite:1. The Q & A website: The main site displays 9 key questions about the history, purpose and/r reality of angels, all with biblical references to2. The Interactive Gallery displays the art of 13 visual artists (including myself). These artists were challenged to create their rendition of angelic beings. The goal of the gallery being online only is our attempt to bring the art to the people where they are rather than hoping that they walk into a brick-and-mortar gallery, which most of the general public never do.3. The companion book: A 36-page published book (available on Amazon) that not only contains the questions asked about angels from the website, but it also contains the “behind the scenes” sketches, doodles and commentary from angel art that I have created over the years.Who is involved? We are thankful to the following artists that took part, some making an encore appearance from the original 2003 version of the project and some joining us for the first time:

Glen McCall
Eric Merced
Hu-Ann Mulia (encore)
Aldo Muzzarelli
Martin Oakley
Michael Perng
Amado Rodriguez, Jr. (encore)
Bud Rogers (encore)
Devin Smith
Steven K. Smith
Tony Snipes
Joe Spicer (encore)
Dave Weiss

What took it so long to finally launch?Although completion of the project was expected nearly 10 months ago, I still think it finished “on time” in order for it to fulfill the vision that was in mind.The delays reminded me of what you hear when a movie production schedule gets pushed back further and further. Staffing issues, changes in production resources, changes in “casting” and rounding up the talent on deadline, coordinating marketing timeline…you name it, we had it! But I do feel that it was worth the wait.So go in and take a look! Check out the Q & A. Play the promo video. View the coolest versions of angels that you’ve ever seen, then post a comment and let us know what you thought!

Doug TenNapel: Changing the Rules for Telling the Story

Posted by Scott A. Shuford on September 21, 2009 at 2:59pm

This just in about Doug TenNapel, from an industry friend Chris Neiswonger... Doug TenNapel: Changing the Rules for Telling the Story By Christopher Neiswonger C.S. Lewis is known for saying things no one else was allowed to say in ways that everyone was willing to hear it. Were he alive today he might have been writing graphic novels and designing video games. Doug TenNapel is walking in that same great tradition but communicating the timeless to a different generation with different needs and expectations. What he can do with a pen and paper is extraordinary, if sometimes disturbing, but acutely suited to the times. His success in video game design, comic books, graphic novels, television, and now film is no less extraordinary. The Apologetics.com Radio Show welcomes Doug TenNapel to talk about art, faith, hope, creation, aliens, monsters, God, cats, and transcendent themes of universal value with Christopher Neiswonger and Lindsay Brooks.

"THR is reporting that “Wolverine” star Hugh Jackman has signed on to star in and produce “Ghostopolis”. “Ghostopolis” is a soon to be released graphic novel from Doug TenNapel, and which was recently optioned by Disney. Hugh Jackman will also produce through ‘Seed Productions’ alongside the Gotham Group. TenNapel’s work is currently in high demand with “Tommysaurus Rex” set to go over at Universal Pictures, “Creature Tech” at New Regency and “Monster Zoo” at Paramount Pictures."
