Everyone has some temporal prejudice to overcome. The Heavenly lessons teach me: I should quarrel with no one, seek
vengeance against no one, and hate no one. Personally, I disdain: greediness in companies, stupidity in law,
and foolishness in humanity. People
say I am just a little radical. To that I say thank you, I am in good
company. Noah and the tribes of Seth, Moses and
the Prophets of the Old Testament, Yahshua and the early Christian
leaders, the Bible translators of the Middle Ages, Americas founding leaders, were all considered radicals.
They were all men of honor and character (and of course, with
every great man is a strong woman who makes everything possible). I am unworthy to even stand in their shadows.
The Bible - the text book of spiritual warfare -
says, “...we
do not war according to the flesh, and the weapons are not
carnal...”(2Cor.10:3-4). The
apostle Paul mentions in his letter to the Ephesians 6:11-20 describes
the strategies needed to employ in your own battle plan for survival on
the spiritual battlefield:
"God
doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called."
Use
all the tools that our CREATOR
provides...
- “Put
on the whole armor of God,
- that
you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
- Ephesians
6:11
"All that is necessary for the
triumph of evil is that good men [and women] do nothing." -
Edmund Burke. This
quotation is the keystone to surviving spiritual warfare.
Generally speaking, people do not like to strive and struggle,
they just want to be left alone to do their own thing. One must overcome the weakness of human nature and face the
reality of the spiritual world to take necessary steps to insure our
spiritual survival. Most do
not even know, that there is a war raging on, resisting and fighting
Satan is a battle one cannot avoid and is something that all humans are
commanded to be part of.
This is accomplished by using our own individual talents of the
power to think, to reason, and to choose right from wrong. YAHWEH gave
the creative thinking human the ability to question why and what is the
purpose of our actions - only animals plod through life and live by
instinct. We must learn to
stop wasting our human spiritual potential and develop living faith as
our armor to guard our minds against the lies, the gossip, the
temptations, the fears, the discouragements, and the bitterness that the
demonic forces throw at us every day.
Know
your enemy and their tactics...
- vs.12
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
- but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the
heavenly places.”
The best battle plan is, confuse your enemy.
We the people of Earth are confused, caught up with fretting
over imagined slights, who caused the last hurt, or who is greater, and
then fighting each other over it.
The battlefields vary: The board rooms, the court rooms, the
living rooms, the bedrooms, the houses of worship, the ghettos, the
suburbs and the open fields of gunfire. We do not see that Satan is the cause and we should focus the
battle on him, not on our brethren. As we have seen in this web
site and book, the tactics of the Dark side
are:
-
Strategies Deceptions
-
•Stealth. Satan doesn't
exist. •GOD is the Father of all Lies.
-
•Apparitions •No penalty for sin.
-
•Incrementalism •There is no death.
-
•Magnifies Pride •You can be like
GOD.
-
•Persecution & Murder
-
•Affliction by disease & drugs.
Put
into action what our CREATOR asks
of us...
- vs.13 “Therefore take up the whole armor of
God,
- that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all,
to stand.”
In
this chronicle we have just come full circle. It began with one of those age old nagging questions of life that
I asked the reader on the back of my book. What is your vision of Heaven?
And, what is your "method of getting there?" The question is answered by the question the Messiah asked His
followers, as did the FATHER asked Ancient Israel: Do you love ME?
Will you obey ME? Will
you follow ME?
Some will call me critical because I touch on the negative
aspects of religion. The
synagogues and the churches do many good works, and I do not dispute
that. My examination of the
various religions details the relationship of - what should be - the
first love of religion, our CREATOR and HIS plan for Humanity
- not ours. That is what
this story focuses on - the method of getting to Heaven, which first
starts for everyone on the planet, as a personal relationship with our
CREATOR. It does not matter
what (religious) social club someone visits or whether it meets on a
Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Money won’t get you there, and one does not need a priest, a
rabbi, or a guru, to accomplish this. This relationship is available to everyone, and everyone must
first want to help themselves seek it.
The tie to our CREATOR is something we are all born with. It reveals itself through our conscience and can be seen in a
child’s innocence and purity. The
problem, is as we get older - due to evil influences - we stray from our
core conscience. To return, we first and foremost must accept the belief in
our CREATOR. This is
accomplished verbally through prayer, and by allowing the spirit to grow
in ones own heart and mind. This
is a one on one event - between a person and their MAKER.
Anyone can pray to the FATHER quietly at anytime, in private, ask
for guidance and strength for the righteous spirit and they will be
heard. If they pray with a
pure heart and honestly seek to submit themselves to the power of
righteousness, then they will be touched by that power. As one learns and understands their life will change from their
unfruitful ways, then the Power of Light grows within and the Dark
Powers begin to wither.
Once, one accepts the CREATOR, then one must accept HIS plan for
the individual and humanity as a whole. Eternal life is granted only by our CREATOR, and not by any other
human or any man designed organization. YAHWEH'S love is unconditional.
HE does not seek faults to keep humans out of Heaven, HE wants
all humanity to survive - yet many religions preach salvation for only a
select few.
A person brings their righteous spirit within them to whatever social club
they visit. It is the people whose collective spirits makes up the
community worship service. People
cannot show up dead in the spirit and expect another human being to give
it to them - it only comes directly from above.
There are those who talk the talk, but don’t walk the walk. They want: Money without work, knowledge without study, and
religion without giving up any vices; these people will live a tortured
life and they will never find peace.
Learn
the truth...
- vs.14
“Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth,
- having
put on the breastplate of righteousness,”
Unlike the Bible, history shows that
the ruling establishment (whether
political or religious) will never reveal the full and pure truths to
the people. They use the
argument that they need to shield the people from the truth because
society would be harmed or unravel if the truths are known. The fact is, the ruling establishment would unravel.
The people, by instinct, already know the truth in their
heart and speak it only in a whisper - they will continue.
The proper teaching is recognized with ease. One can know it without fail because it awakens within you that
sensation that tells you this is something you have always known. When people are given the truthful information, they will make
the correct decisions.
There is another way to corroborate the pure teachings. Ask yourself, which teachings throughout history have had the
greatest bloodshed around it in order to subvert it? As you have read in
my chronicle, it was not the teachings of
Plato, Francis Beacon, Darwin, or Karl Marx. It was:
- •The teachings of Adam and Eve.
- •The teachings of Noah, the Tribes of Shem,
and Abraham.
- •The teachings of Moses.
- •The teachings of the Hebrew Testament
Prophets.
- •The teachings of Yahshua-Jesus, and His Apostles.
- •The teachings of the first century Messianic
Judeo/Christian leaders.
- •The teachings of Sabbath and Sacred Name
Keepers.
- •The teachings of the Protestant Reformers.
- •The work of the brave men who translated the
Bible into the language of the common people.
The false teachers will always be the first to whine about intolerance. They will always say you are being divisive, you are being
unloving, or you are being ungracious. False teachings can only survive when they hide in the shadows and
do not get scrutinized. The
insecurities and paranoia of those who seek to subvert the truth will
always reveal themselves when they shout the loudest against any
intolerance, against any examination, or against any scrutiny. The supporters of false doctrines
always cry the loudest about the need
for unity. "Let us just
embrace each other, let us love each other, let us put all that behind
us," they would say. Yet,
these same people who also teach politically correct speech, will call
the Christians:
- •The
Radical Right.
- •The
Religious Right.
- •The
Religious Looney's.
- •The
Religious Fanatics.
- •The
Religion of Losers.
- •The
Religion of Bozo's (clowns).
- •The
Extra Chromosome Group.
A national poll recently taken asked, “of the three groups in
America, neo-Nazi, white supremacists, or right-wing Christians, which do
you feel is the most dangerous?” The majority answered right-wing Christians.
They should have asked the question: If your car broke down at
midnight in an unfamiliar neighborhood and you saw a group of men coming down the street, which of the three groups would you
hope they would be from? Wouldn't
you feel more at ease knowing they were just coming home from their
Bible study group?
One must wonder if Christianity is a religion of losers then why
are up to 200,000 Christians murdered around the world each year for
professing their faith? Why
are they feared so much? The
answer is simple, because they acknowledged the sovereignty of the
CREATOR instead of the self, and this attitude drives Satan crazy.
Some say, Christianity is an uncompromising radical religion. History shows that the Christians are a very compromising group.
Christianity today is a mere shadow of it's founding teaching and
practices. The early
Christians would hardly recognize it if they could see it today. I cannot help but wonder if Yahshua quietly returned today, which
assembly would He recognize as His own. Jews have much the same problems, in all my research I have yet
to understand what a Jewish-liberal is - it is a contradiction in terms.
One simply cannot be a Jew, revere the Bible, and be a liberal, it
defies a logical explanation.
Spread
the word...
- vs:15
“and having shod your feet
- with
the preparation of the gospel of peace;”
The Biblical lessons do not force confusion, conversion, or
deception. YAHWEH will not
call anyone to live forever with HIM in HIS Kingdom if that person does
not want to do so (Rom.ch.14).
When evil enters a community innocent souls will suffer, that is
why we share our understanding with our friends, relatives, and
neighbors. You don’t
scream sermons, or brow beat people to get them to pay attention - you
live by example. Satan is
the god of this world, and the believers in our CREATOR are living in
their native lands - but as aliens. The believers are "in this world," but not "of
this world." The believers are citizens of the Kingdom of YAHWEH - fellow
citizens with the Old Testament Saints - under the authority of the
Messiah (Phi.3:20). They
follow local customs in clothing, food, and other aspects of life - but
as citizens of the Heavenly Kingdom, they are only passing their days on
earth.
The citizens are ambassadors of the Kingdom and represent their
government (2Cor.5:20). This
is not a passive role, it is a pro-active role, they live by example and
share the spiritual truths that they have learned. They are "present in the flesh" - but do not live
"according to the flesh." They obey the appointed laws - but go beyond that and follow the
Heavenly Laws in their own lives. They are treated with outrageous disrespect - but behave
respectfully and bless those in return. They are dishonored and their names blackened - but they gain
glory through dishonor and their names are cleared in the Heavenly Book
of Life.
YAHWEH thinks more highly of a person who might sincerely and
conscientiously deny themselves . . . (i.e. certain foods, certain organized assemblies, certain weekly
services, certain parties or celebrations, etc.) because one does not
understand the full TRUTH; then does a person who would do the
right thing according to the letter, but who really believes in their
heart that they are doing wrong, but continues because of tradition,
or someone in authority demands it. The role of the weekly meeting is to learn and
understand
the higher spiritual laws and ways of the Kingdom. If one does not learn this true wisdom then the meeting has no
lasting benefit to the spirit and soul (Col.2:18-23).
The color of one’s skin or the nationality one is born into is
something we all have to live with - it cannot be changed. An appreciation for some myths, legends, nightmares, or folk law
is another matter. Practicing
a religion is something we come to believe in over time, it should be a
voluntary arrived at state, and
in an intellectual discussion it is something we should be able to
defend. In order to keep
itself honest, a religion must be willing to submit to critical analysis
when challenged. That is
the moral of this story, one must search and corroborate the truths they
adopt for themselves. For
example, if there is something in this book that is disturbing, then get
out the history books and use a literal interpretation to prove me
wrong.
Personally, I am more interested in getting a discussion going. To start thinking and talking about things that have been laying
for years in the brain’s dormant file is what is important - winning
points in a debate is not. It
may take a little time, but a persons own heart and spirit will guide
their thoughts - if they listen - to the correct conclusions.
The early believers would say: When I pray, I talk to GOD; when I
study, GOD talks to me. They would verify their teachers lessons, as it says in Acts
17:11 “. . . in that they received the word with all readiness, and
searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were
so;” only then would they share their new found truths with
others. They would trust no one with their soul, except YAHWEH!
Trust
in YHWH'S plan...
- vs.16
“above all, taking the shield of faith
- with
which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked
one.”
Luke
recorded in 24:25 the Messiah's explanation about why many people refuse
to believe the words of the prophecies. They are foolish about the things of GOD.
They show lack of faith demonstrated by their slowness of heart
to believe. One must have faith that YAHWEH is the CREATOR and active
Ruler of the Universe. We
must learn to view everything from the realization that YAHWEH is there,
HE is in charge, HE is good, HIS way is right and HIS character never
changes. If our immortal
spirits are to survive, it is by following the plan that HE has
ordained.
This attitude is important in overcoming Satan, because he
(Satan) will use the sin of pride to encourage us to think that there is
something wrong with our CREATOR if we do not get our way. When the attitude of resentment and bitterness replaces humility
and patience toward our CREATOR, then our hearts and mind will be
hardened, with the result being the withering away of the spirit.
Accuracy
of the words of YAHWEH...
- vs.17
“And take the helmet of salvation,
- and
the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;”
There are many ancient manuscripts in many religions, and there are many god
wannabe's. But, only in the
Bible does YAHWEH challenge all other religious or political leaders, in
ancient or modern times to match HIS wisdom. Isaiah 41:22-24 "Let
them bring forth and show us what will happen; Let them show the former
things, what they were, That we may consider them, And know the latter
end of them; Or declare to us things to come. Show the things that are
to come hereafter, That we may know that you are gods; Yes, do good or
do evil, That we may be dismayed and see it together. Indeed you are
nothing, And your work is nothing; He who chooses you is an
abomination."
Current so-called prophets understand the odds against making
accurate predictions. They
will not risk their reputations for psychic ability to publicly predict
the actual score of a sports event this week, next month, or next year.
Could they even predict what sports event will be popular a
century from now?
Watch
the signs...
- vs.18
“praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit,
- being
watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for
all the saints;”
The citizens of the Kingdom should be watching the wondrous works of the
unfolding plan for humanity. The prophetic Book of Revelation is
the only book of the Bible that promises a special blessing to those who
study it. YAHWEH declares
that accurate prophecy belongs to HIM alone and only HE accurately
prophesies the future of Humanity. Through the prophecies of the Bible our CREATOR tells us the
future before it happens, in this way HE authenticates HIS teachings to
HIS creation and proves HIS existence and superiority over the other god
wannabes.
YAHWEH through the prophet Isaiah states in 46:9-11 "Remember
the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God,
and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And
from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, 'My counsel
shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure, . . . Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have
purposed it; I will also do it."
The phenomenon that no other religious writing outside the Bible
dares to make thousands of detailed prophecies thousands of years in
advance of their fulfillment, proves that our CREATOR reveals HIMSELF
through the Holy Scriptures.
Proclaim
“a” truth...
- vs.19
“and for me, that utterance may be given to me,
- that
I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the
gospel,”
- vs.20
“for which I am an ambassador in chains;
- that
in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
Time
does not create a cure for an original wrong. A tradition started a thousand years ago or more because of
prejudice and hatred or just plain ignorance, which then killed any that
opposed it, does not make it right over time. That belief or tradition is still wrong today.
My purpose in writing this website and book is not to step on anyone's
feelings or to start a new religion, only to help in illuminating some
of the true teachings of our CREATOR and HIS plan for all of Humanity.
When we confront a puzzle - then we strive to understand. We can never understand all the mysteries of our CREATOR,
that simply is not possible - but we can try. Say not, “I have found
the truth,” but rather, “I
have found a truth.” - Kahlil Gibran.
There is nothing so rewarding as discovering a truth and
confirming to yourself. And, what is an idea if it is not shared?
Believing assemblies - churches- are made up of people - not potted plants. When one feels and proves the truth in their heart, then one
should share it with their family and friends. Then return to their worship assemblies and have constructive
talks, discussions and debates over accepted but erroneous assumptions. Do
not let your religion keep you from a truth!
- “The
reasonable man adapts himself to the world,
- the
unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
- Therefore
all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
-
- George Bernard Shaw
-
-
Developing the spirit of righteousness begins as a personal
goal, not a religious crusade. The way I see it, Martin Luther and the Protestant
Reformation had only accomplished half of their goals. Since the reformation, the Protestant churches have fallen
asleep. Christians must
realize the roots of Christianity lie in the Judean desert and the
proof is written in the Dead Sea Scrolls - not in Rome and the
dictates of an ancient pagan Roman emperor. Jews must realize their next step in the evolution of their
beliefs also lies with the Biblical truths corroborated in the Dead
Sea Scrolls and not in a man designed rabbinic Judaism. “Reverence for the past does not mean we ignore the future
or the present.” Some
of the other religions must learn that no human should rewrite the
wisdom of the CREATOR.
- Sir Isaac Newton,
- a great
scientist
and a student of prophecy stated:
- "About the
time of the end,
- a body of men will
be raised up
- who will turn
their attention to the prophesies
- and insist upon
their literal interpretation
- in the midst of
much clamor and opposition."
