INTRODUCTION

Peace be to you. {1Pe 5:14; 1Sa 25:6; Lu 10:5; Lu 24:36; Joh 20:21 }

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. Ephesians 1:17.

I introduce this website and all that is in it with my favorite quote from the Holy Bible-

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD…”Isaiah 1:18

Yes, Intelligence and discernability is what makes man superior to all other of Gods creations, even the angels. Man was made in Gods own image. This does not translate to physical as is widely thought, but better than that, to mans mental ability and ingenuity. Our ability to discern and reason. This fact occurred at the beginning of creation, when God made man, and asked all angels to submit to him. The angels wondered why and what about man made him so special to be created as Gods vicegerent on earth. Man proved himself by succeeding in a simple demonstration God asked of him. This I will discuss elsewhere in this site. { http://www.freewebs.com/christ2/whyadamisunique.htm } Point is, mans ability to reason makes us man. With that I welcome you to my simple site that helps us to understand the most simple, merciful and peaceful man that ever walked the earth. Jesus/Yashuwa Christ the Messiah, who happens to also be the most misunderstood and controversial man that ever lived. Controversy over who Christ was started right during his mission. While he preached the Jews, his people continuously were confused about his message and asked him several times to define what he was actually saying, and who he actually was. They asked him, ’how long do you continue to confuse us, tell us plainly who you are’.

John 10:22-38 -: 22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

In Vs 24, we see that the Jesus’ Jews were confused as to his identity. They had asked over and over but still were confused as to who he was. Their confusion- Thinking him to blaspheme: Make/equal himself with God. In his reply, Vs 33-36 highlighted, he did not acknowledge himself being God, but rather referred to them as equally ‘gods’, in the sense of the word, and asked why they were mad at him, for calling himself the son of God, justified by his good works, which he does for God, who is greater than all.

Christianity today has almost as many sects as there are members. This is definitely not a commendable situation. This fact , that there are so many sects, combining with the fact that Moslems also await the return of Jesus the Messiah, to rescue the world, adding to the reality that Jews too await Christ, the Messiah, though they believe he will be making his first appearance. Make Jesus/yashuwa the Messiah definitely the most controversial, and likely misunderstood person in history. Christians + Moslems + Jews = half the world population.

I will attempt to raise as many issues here about Christ and pray the One God guides me to present as reasonably possible a factual, balanced, Christ harmonious perspective on these issues. I intend to paint as true as I possibly can a picture of Christ, who he was, how he was, what he taught, and what he would like, and what he will do.

Jesus Christ said- “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”… Mathew 7:21

What has happened to the beautiful faith of Christ can accurately be described thus:

Words of Historian: Adolf Harnack

“..The mask acquires a life of its own- the Trinity, the two natures of Christ, infallibility, and all propositions seconding these dogmas, were the product of historic decisions and of situations that might have turned out quite differently…nevertheless…early or late, product or reshaping force, this dogma remains what it has been from the beginning, a bad habit of intellectualization which the Christian picked up from the Greek when he fled from Jews.”

Words of George Bernard Shaw

“No sooner had Jesus knocked over the dragon of superstition than Paul boldly set it on its

legs again in the name of Jesus.”

Good People MUST JUDGE!

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:46:41 +0000

It’s interesting to realize that we are actually meant to judge!

The most common misrepresentation in human history is the false phrase- “Thou shalt not judge!”. I also describe it as the most ‘taken out of context’ statement from the Bible. Well actually many are, so let’s refrase that to- ‘another important out of context statement’.

Let’s get the verse out of the book.

Matthew 7:1-6 -

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. See it now?

It’s clear. He was simply stating that worse people shouldnt judge people better than them, but that we should first be clean of evil stuff before we can judge others of such. Which makes sense.

Evil people in his day who hadnt learned his teachings and accepted his ways, the ways of God, were trying to judge. They should not judge! Only good people should and can judge. Imagine an adulterer trying to tell someone not to kiss. He cant and shouldnt, let a good husband, and priest judge the fornicating kid.

See it again-

Lu 6:37 -

37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. 39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye. 43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.It is possible to cast out our beam! We can repent and stop adultery, and rape, and murder, and hate, and drinking alcohol, and partying, and gambling, and then we can and should judge and help our brother remove his mote too!

People who should be appointed judges-

1Ti 3:2 -

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach, 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

Now when we judge, we should judge right. How can a co-sinner judge right? Impossible, hence upright people can and should judge and judge right-

Joh 7:24 -

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Now read through this expansive explanation, account and injunction-

1Co 6:1-
: 1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

Next we read this chapter where we are even reprimanded for not having judged fornicators and adulterers in our midst, they should have been in mourning, for the prson who did the crime should have been executed. It goes further to say that we should do so in Jesus’ name (refering to the gravity of our judgement), and send the perpetrators flesh to the devil(which means- death) so that his spirit may be saved in the last day. This translates, that people guilty of such crimes have no simple redemption, but to be saved, must be judged and their flesh given to the devil=death, so their spirit, which matters most, can be redeemd and saved in the last day.

Some translate it softer to meen, such should be ex-communicated from the church to be saved, but i argue, that does ex-communicating in any way save? Does kicking a person out of church to the evil society save? But notice this quote explicitly said, that the mourn worthy casting out, saves the spirit.

1Co 5:1: 1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

Notice also that when the adulteres was brought before Jesus, he failed to condemn the stoning act thrice, till he finally stood and challenged the people on whether they werent equally adulterers/sinners.

Finally his verdict was that ONLY those non adulterers/ not guilty of such, should cast the first judging stone. Note here that, the first stone judges. So he in other words said that the judge should be redeemed, and then the latter stones may be cast by anyone else.

Joh 8:7 -: So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

At this time, he had just started his ministry, and we wouldnt expect that these equal adulterers were converted in the word.

‘He who is without sin, cast the first stone’

This is similar to other Biblical teachings-

‘Only people without sin may enter the kingdom of God’

Hence it is clear that, If anyone will possibly enter the kingdom…if anyone can be without sin to enter the kingdom, then these/such persons may cast the first judging stone on earth.

Jesus said he came not to change the laws, and that anyone who did so or taught the changing of the least law will be the lowest in heaven.

If he wanted to stop this judging law, he would have said it directly- ‘Law so and so is now no more’, etc. But rather he showed lenience and pardoned a sinner, which judges still do today, and warned her to desist. And said nothing about the law of God being cancelled.

Mt 5:17-

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

WE MUST DO THE LAWS TO BE CALLED GREAT.

THOU SHOULD DO GOOD, AND THEN JUDGE TO HELP OTHERS!

MELCHIZEDEK???

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:45:51 +0000

Who is this Melchizedek priest of the most High, king of the order/faith of Salem, meaning peace=Salam(Islam) in Arabic, who even better than Jesus had no father and mother, and was from the beginning of the world and lives till the end of time, who’s faith/order, called Salem/Salam/Islam, Jesus was appointed as a follower of..and who was made like Jesus, but more so, to whom Abraham paid tithes, which are only meant for GOD!. Read the numerous texts?
Have you noticed this before?…Please comment.

Ge 14:18 -
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High.

Ps 110:4 -
The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.”

Heb 5:6 -
just as He says also in another passage, “YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.”

Heb 5:10 -
being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

Heb 6:20 -
where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 7:1-10 -
1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem/salam/Peace/Islam, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace. 3 Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually *. 4 Now observe how great this man was to whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the choicest spoils. 5 And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, although these are descended * from Abraham. 6 But the one whose genealogy is not traced from them collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises. 7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater. 8 In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on. 9 And, so * to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who received tithes, paid tithes, 10 for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

Heb 7:11 -
Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law ), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron ?

Heb 7:15 -
And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek,

Heb 7:17 -
For it is attested of Him, “YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.”

Some say he is arch angel Michael, Some try to say he is Jesus, though that is absurd, because you can not be made in likeness of yourself, as is mentioned in his description, and Jesus had a mother, but not Melchizedek.

Two important points I wish to bring out here, avoiding much controversy, are that-

1. Melchizedek was acclaimed to follow/lead in the order of peace. And so also was Jesus. So hopefully we too all should follow in the order of Peace/Salem/Salam/Islam.

2. Melchizedek, having no father and mother, and living for eternity, proves that such characters of Jesus, arent unique and though special, DO NOT DEFINE HIM AS DIVINE!

Bad Practice- Parties, Clubbing, Carousing And Sensuality

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:45:19 +0000

1Pe 4:3 -

For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.

This doesnt call for an expansive explanation or interpretation, the message is clear. Partying is not of God.

We should not fool ourselves that it is the heart that matters, because all that occurs in parties and clubs is not Godly, and what is not of God is of and for the devil.

Worship In The Bible (Not Prayer!)

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:45:16 +0000

Ps 2:11 -

Worship the LORD with reverence And rejoice with trembling.

Ps 66:4 -

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. (Two separate acts).

The worship issue is a case of a practice that has been lost almost completely due to man being lazy, feeling modern, being misguided and/or too proud. Too proud to bow, fall and humble himself. The Moslems, Traditional Jews, and Few Jewish prayer leaders can be given credit for still adhering to the humble way of worship.

Worship in the Bible actually has specific guidelines and a set system. It is not just a random undefined process carried out at the worshipers discretion. The way worship is usually conducted in the Bible is discussed here.

It is important to note that Worship is different from Prayer {See quotes above}. Most times prayer is mentioned in the Bible, sing praises is related. Ie a process of praising Gods name is being referred. Singing praise is NOT worship, but Praise and prayer. Worship in it’s case usually is used for a more devout ritual, done by all men, angels etc, of God. And done often, because of the numerous times it comes up in the Bible. The format for worship involves a system of bowing and mainly prostration, a position which expresses absolute humility from man, the created to his master, Father, God, his Creator.

Singing and praising IS NOT WORSHIP notice the difference, so where did folks get the heart alone prayer prescription, when all past peoples and prophets used to bow and face on ground

Worship in the Bible:

#1 GENERAL:

*PRAYER TIMES- 3 set times of the day were set for worship. 1, Sunrise/early morning worship. 2, Sunset/ Evening worship, and 3, Night worship.

*PRAYER DIRECTION- A Certain direction was also faced in prayers, Biblical figures used to face jerusalem in prayer.

Da 6:10 - Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Eze 21:2 - Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel

#2 THE MOST FREQUENT METHOD OF WORSHIP:

ALMOST EVERYTIME WORSHIP IS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE, BOWING AND PROSTRATION(FACE ON GROUND) IS THE METHOD DONE BY EVERYONE, FROM JESUS, THROUGH THE PROPHETS, ANGELS AND EVEN ELDERS IN HEAVEN.

Mt 26:39 - And he(Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt

1Co 14:25 ….and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: 25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

Mt 17:6 - And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid Re 11:16 - And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

Re 7:11 - And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

1Sa 20:41 - And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times

Jos 5:14 - And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship,

Ge 17:3 - And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying

Nu 22:31 - Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

2Ch 7:3 - And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

Ne 8:6 - And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

Eze 3:23 - Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face .

It appears nowadays the Muslim is able to do everyday, what the leader of Christians, the Pope can afford to do only at the most serious moments.

And here again, when the pope bowed to and devotedly/respectfully kissed the Muslim Quran, that he praised in his papal book:

Try it more often, prostration actually gives a satisfying filling effect.

IN THE FOREMOST JEWISH BOOK OF PRAYER, THIS PATERN OF PRAYER IS MENTIONED, THOUGH IT IS SAID TO BE MAINTAINED MAINLY BY ONLY THE #1 RABBI, AND IN MORE TRADITIONAL, UNMODERNIZED SOCIETIES.

INTERESTINGLY TOO, MOSLEMS AND ANCIENT EGYPTIANS PRAY WITH PROSRATION IN A SIMILAR FASHION, MAKING THIS FORM OF PRAYER APPEAR TO BE THE UNIVERSAL WAY OF GOD.

http://www.submission.org/jews.html

Notice they refer to the same book in this website {To pray as a Jew} Judaism 101

I BOUGHT MY COPY OF THIS JEWSIH BOOK OF PRAYER, TO BE CONVINCED, BEACUSE PICTURES SPEAK VOLUMES. ORDER YOURS TOO (TO PRAY AS A JEW)

HERE ARE PICTURES OF THE COVER AND THE PRAYER PAGE.

HERE ALSO IS AN ANCIENT BOOK OF EGYPTIAN PRAYER. NOTE THAT A SIMILAR SYSTEM IS USED. THERE IS ONE UNIVERSAL STANDARD OF PRAYER WORLD WIDE. LET OUR BACKS NOT BE TOO STIFF TO BEND IN HUMBLE SUBMISSION TO OUR GOD, AS JESUS, THE ELDERS, PROPHETS AND ANGELS ALL DO.

AND WE CAN NOT DESCRIBE THIS SYSTEM AS OUTDATED, BECAUSE THE BIBLE EVEN MAKES A FUTURE REFERENCE TO ITS FORMAT, IN REVELATIONS.

Re 11:16 - And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

Here are pictures of the books I bought to confirm that all peoples pray in this fashion, because seeing is believing.

All Commandments Violated!

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:44:33 +0000

We do not even know the commandments we were ordered to keep, talk less keep them.

Most today Christians violate all the commandments-

Exodus 20:
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

1^st Commandment; Verse 3: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.“

***Calling Jesus, a man- God, violates this, so also does calling Mary, the Mother of God, and the Holy Ghost, God. the Trinity makes God three, persons or essences. One is one and three is always three!

2^nd Commandment; Verses 4-6: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.”

***All images, and pictures of People, animals, Jesus Christ, angels, Mary etc violate this commandment! We musn’t make image or any semblance! We musn’t bow to image! Your Jesus pendant, your picture of him, your picture or rosary with mary, etc, etc. Even drawings of animals, people etc, are likely violations of this commandment. God gave this, because He knows how easy it is for man to start revering these items. people with Jesus pendants stroke these for instance in times of fear/despair, instead of feeling God in their hearts.

3^rd Commandment; Verse 7: “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.“

***Saying- “God damnit”, etc, if you believe ‘God’ is Gods name, violates this! Because it is what you believe that matters.

4^th Commandment; Verses 8-11: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”

***Sabbath is/was Saturday and NOT Sun-God-Day/Sunday. Do we remember it and keep it holy?

5^th Commandment; Verse 12: “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.“

***Subjective- judge yourself on this.

6^th Commandment; Verse 13: “Thou shalt not kill.“

***Maybe not-, though words are daggers too.

7^th Commandment; Verse 14 “Thou shalt not commit adultery.“

***Do you? Adultery is commited with lustful looks remember!!!! and even more, with any form of touch.

8^th Commandment; Verse 15 “Thou shalt not steal.“

***Stealing lines, ideas, tales, picking lost property and not seeking the owner etc.

9^th Commandment; Verse 16 “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.“

***What did you tell the cops?

10^th Commandment; Verse 17 “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.”

I know this is hard to chew, but yes, through out his life Jesus was only for Jews!

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:43:08 +0000

Throughout Jesus’ life he was, and only claimed to be sent to the Jews. This follows an old Testament system of Jewish favoritism, which is a little sad, considering the fact that Jews do not necessarily respect God, or love other people, but have been some of the greatest arrogant God questioners of all times, when given Manna(heavens food) asking if that was the best God had. Also when Prophet Moses went up to get the commandments, within that little time, they already melted all their gold, made a cow idol, and started serving it, to Moses’ dismay upon return!. To find that Jesus throughout his life repeatedly only claimed to be a deliverer and savior of Jews, and yet was killed by his own Jews is disheartening too.

It also appears that if he ever directed his message to us non Jews, it was only after his death, which makes it seem, that after his Jews who he said he came only to save, failed him, to the point of killing him, he then remembers us. This Only message by Jesus for the world (Non Jews too) only appears in one gospel, that of Mathew, at the tail end in a sort of summarily way, that makes its authenticity very questionable. Like it was added, to turn a savior of Jews only, to a world savior which he didn’t claim or act as.

Read-

Mt 10:5-15

5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

THE DOGGY BARGAIN:-

Mt 15:21-28-

21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Notice-

1. Jesus’ disciples were eager to dispell this woman, in accordance to his teachings, that they all weren’t to help non Jews. (Vs 23)

2. Jesus asserts this fact by trying to dispell her, saying- doesnt she know he Only is for Jews! (Vs 24)

3. She beggs him again a second time (Vs 25)

4. He uses the worst ever written accepted racist/discriminatory qualification, that- he won’t give human chidren/Jews food to dogs/her/non Jews!!! (Vs 26)

5. She applies the ‘doggy bargain’, saying- ‘Dogs get crumbs from under the table!’.

6. He pities her and saves her daughter. (Vs 28)

This is self explanatory. Jesus was sent only to the Jews!

He shall only judge twelve tribes of Israel-

Mt 19:28 -

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jesus decalared the commandments to Israel specifically-

Mr 12:29 -

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Lu 1:68 -

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel;

After Jesus passed, his disciples still followed this directive, preaching ONLY to Jews.

This is confirmed by reading the next quote that shows how the disciples were mad that peter was preaching to non Jews, till Peter had to defend himself , that he had gotten a new vision/inspiration from Christ allowing him and them all now to speak to uncircumsised/non Jews.

Ac 11:1-18-

1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. 2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, 3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them. 4 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying, 5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, ……And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat. 8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth. 9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven. 11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me. 12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house: 13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; 14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? 18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

On another note, we see that even in a Biblical prediction of eternity, the racism is mentioned, that the preferrred few who will first be saved, and have seals on their heads, whom, God will declare should be lifeted before the earth is terrified, after which the common man, multitude will be saved. These same people will be the only who will learn special hyms, and shall be the only ones with Jesus in heaven and shall rule with Jesus on a cloud, the common man on earth, are Jews!

Revelation 7:1-12 -

1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand…. Moslems support this observation, claiming that different saviors were sent to different peoples of the world, and Jesus was actually as he said, sent for the Jew. That Only Mohammed, the/their last savior was sent to the entire world, as he said.

Now read this!

MATHEW 22

The Parable of the Marriage Feast

¹And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, ²The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, ³and sent forth his servants to call them that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come. ⁴Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. ⁵But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: ⁶and the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. ⁷But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. ⁸Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were invited were not worthy. ⁹Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. ¹⁰So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good and the wedding was furnished with guests. {EVERY TOM DICK AND HARRY GETS A SHOT ONLY AFTER THE SPECIALS FAIL}

¹¹And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: ¹²and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. ¹³Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ¹⁴For many are called, but few are chosen.

Finally notice this:

Mt 19:28 -
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Points to note-

1. Only Jews will judge.
2. Luckily, Only Jews will be judged (the twelve tribes of Israel)
3. So we see here that others will also sit on thrones as will Christ, taking part in judging the loved Israelites.

I guess we Gentiles(non Jews) will have another type of resurrection and redemption, and judging comittee apart from this team of Jesus, and twelve Jew judges judging Jews. Maybe a Moslem system with Allah/Elohim/Elah/Eloi judging us or somn?!…

Paul The First Wolf In Sheep Skin!

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:43:06 +0000

Ro 4:8 -

“..Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin..”

Now what kind of man would .wish for, promote and say that???!!

Much of the transformation and reform that occurred to the true Christianity of Christ was carried out by Paul. Paul himself confessed to and/or acknowledges this accusation.

Paul said: For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto His Glory; why yet I am also judged a sinner . Romans 3:7-8

ROMANS 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. 5 …. Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) 6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? 7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?2 8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

Translated, Romans 3:7-8 says: IF MY LIES SUCCEED IN MAKING GOD MORE GLORIOUS, AND AID SPREADING THE WORD, WHY AM I STILL CALLED A SINNER.
IE- THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS!!!
This summarizes this article, and the grave cloud that covers Christianity…from the earliest time!!!

PAUL KNEW AND ACCEPTED HE WAS A LIAR!
————————————————————————————————- {NOTE, FOR THE STAUNCH FAITHFULS, EVEN IF THIS READING DOESN’T CHANGE YOUR PRIOR UNDERSTANDING AND BELIEF IN PAUL. IF YOU DO NOT SEE THIS AS A CONFESSION. AT LEAST PICK FROM THIS READING THAT PAUL TOLD US THAT CERTAIN PEOPLE WERE ACCUSING HIM OF THIS MANIPULATION CRIME. THINK ABOUT THAT, THAT HE, PAUL WAS ACCUSED IN HIS DAY, RIGHTFULLY OR WRONGFULLY OF BEING A MANIPULATOR FOR GOD. THAT AT LEAST CAN DEFINITELY INCONTESTABLY BE INFERRED, RIGHT?}

This was how and why Paul destroyed and innovated the Bible doctrine.

Paul, the murderer of disciples and companions of Christ, who supervised the murder of Stephen,(Acts 8:1-3, Acts 6:5) Never changed!!. he was Never a disciple, Never met Christ, quarreled with Barnabas and Mark, who were disciples, and paul then single-handedly wrote all the reforming doctrines at odds with Jesus’ teachings that became the reason for the disputes in Christianity, the millions killed and misled Christians till date. he admitted to Never learning from a disciple or Christ in person, except through so-called visions of Christ.(Galatians 1:10-12)

Acts 15:39-40 (New American Standard Bible)
39And there occurred such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.

40But Paul chose Silas and left, being committed by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

{Note Luke always mentions Barnabas before Paul- Acts 13:1-2, Acts 14:11-15}

Paul never wrote of Jesus’ permanent FAVORED disciple, Barnabas, or his nephew, mark, respected by all, from here on. he just did his own thing, writing as he imagined, and calling the good law of God, Jesus came to keep, and warned against whoever taught against it to be the lowest in hell, and the good law of Moses, a CURSE!!!!

He made himself a New law maker: 1 Corinthians 7:12 All things are lawful unto me, but I will not be brought under the power of any

Paul re-designed Christianity to make it more marketable among the greeks, used to worshiping many Gods, paul created a trinity, that suited them, dietized Christ as they were quick to want to worship men, his modifications, made him split from St Barnabas, and he intentionally went to preach only in Christian foundation-less/new land, not where he could easily be contradicted.

He created the Trinitarian hallucination, and redemption. He paul invented the Christian Trinity. The Greeks who he preached to already were Trinitarians, and idolators, with their holy cross. So as to aid preaching to them, he single-handedly added the ‘Holy Ghost’ to Jesus and God, to create a Trinity.
Paul also was responsible for making the Greek cross part of Christianity.

He forged the idea of abandoning the laws of, God as a curse.

He in essence destroyed all Jesus came to teach, which was- The Unity and Oneness of God, supreme over all. He included Greek Trinity into Christianity, and Idol worship. etc..etc…
He seems to have worked with Peter, who we know to have been soft at heart.

After Constantine used the early Pauline Trinitarian church to save him, from his loosing fame from murdering his son, and wife, after he had run to Constantinople cuz of leadership trouble, he tried to murder the N. African Unitarians, but couldn’t. They later were called Donatists, after their staunch Christ follower Unitarian leader, Donatus.

There was chaos everywhere in that time, everyone was debating Trinity or Unity. The Trinitarians said- “Great is the only begotten”, and the Unitarians, and Arians would say- “But greater is He that begot”. Everyone on the streets were arguing about generated and ungenerated. People were asking women if a son could exist before he was born.

Constantine organized the council of Nicea, to unite the Christians, after attempting to defeat the African Unitarian Christians, but not succeeding. He was judge over the panel, as he, being an Idolator was supposed to be impartial. After forcing those in attendance to sign, he then told all to stay out of the room, and pray for a miracle to show what Bible books were to be used. He had the room key. The next morning, the books of his Athanasius trinitarian were on the table, the rest were still under where they were all kept, hence he ordered all other Bible gospels be burnt, and any adherants to them killed. In essence he fooled the council members, who initially said- ‘a little ink shouldn’t hinder the soul’, not knowing the reform Idolator Constantine planned from blackmailing them to sign the accord.

Here in 325 AD Idolator Constantine, working on Pauls platform, changed Saturday Sabbath to Sunday. Adopted the traditional birthday of the Sun-god, on 25th December as the birthday of Jesus.
Borrowed the emblem of the sun-god, the cross and the light, to be the emblem of Christianity, and incorporated all his sun-god ceremonies into Christianity.
The Bible was composed and translated to Greek, and all modifications were sealed in this language.

They stood against him, and from this point he enforced incursions on Christians. It became a capital offense to possess an un-authorized Bible, and A Million+ Unitarian true followers of Christ were killed for their rejection of his trinitarian doctrine.

Hence the Church of the martyrs . Arius, a staunch Unitarian, who later converted Constantine in 337AD, a year before he died to Unitarian faith. Constantin’s daughter Constantina remained a Unitarian, and fought for the Unitarian view, and also aided Constantin’s repentance, into the fold of people he killed before his death.

The east, and N Africa remained Unitarian, and easily embraced Islam, in 500Ad, when Mohammed(P) came.

The Catholic church who had moved the capital of Christianity from Jerusalem to Rome, now strengthened, the doctrine of Trinity, spread well and easily in the west, and they gained lands, through a fake document, ‘the gift of Constantine’. Martin Luther, protested and protestantism arose. But both were trinitarians, after Paul. True Unitarians still exist till date, famous martyred Servetus of the 15th century, who wrote the book- ‘errors of the trinity’, and was burned by the catholic church for hearsay. John Biddle 1615-1662, the father of Unitarianism in England. John Locke, Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727, Joseph priestly, and many more.

This was the reason for Christians killed for Christ, by ‘Christians’, not for Him being God, but for their Unitarian belief, seeing Him as a man of God, preaching the 1st commandment, recognizing the sole Oneness of God the father, greater than Christ the man and not God! Millions of Christians have died for this. They died for the 1st commandment, but somehow, unfortunately the Trinitarian view, no where backed in the Bible, was easier and more pleasing to accept, and that western view, through paul, the Greeks, Constantine and the catholic church prevail today
Is their death in vain???

Notice 1 John 5:7, which was the only verse in the Bible using the word ‘Trinity’, has now been expunged from Bibles, as it was unanimously found to be an innovation and addition. Any other reference to such Trinitarian doctrine is only rationalization, and not sound, and not from Jesus

Another Blasphemy by Paul:

“For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength. (From the NIV Bible, 1 Corinthians 1:25)“

Let us analyze this foolish and blasphemous verse from Paul:

It raises the following-

1- Regardless of how smart and stupid GOD and us humans are, our intelligence will never reach even the stupidity of GOD!

2- GOD is a fool!!!..sometimes.

3- GOD is weak!!! Sometimes.

4- The comparison itself is very insulting and degrading to GOD Almighty. It is also limiting to Him since our finite and limited intelligence and strength were compared to His infinite Attributes.

“Fool” is a forbidden word by Jesus! Paul clearly contradicted that:

It is truly funny how the word “fool” is forbidden upon Christians to use it against each others, and yet, Paul used it on the Creator of the Universe Himself!

Let us look at what Jesus said:

“But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca, ‘ is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 5:22)“

Next, view two contradictory self accounts of paul’s so called vision of Christ:

Acts 9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

Acts 22:7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

I must chill here, it’s just too much!!!

Bad Practices- Christmas Trees Banned!

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:42:09 +0000

“Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For 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 axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.” (Jeremiah 10:2-4, KJV)

This surely defines the Christmas tree culture which is:

(1) A custom
(2) A tree cut from the woods
(3) Tree decorated with gold and silver
(4) Tree fastened to the floor.{indoors}?

True followers of Christ should steer clear of such.

King James Bible Official Homepage speaks on Christmas Trees:
http://av1611.com/kjbp/ridiculous-kjv-bible-corrections/Christmas-Trees.html

” ….There was a time when the pagan holiday known as Christmas had actual Christian overtones. This is no longer the case. The modern holiday no longer had anything at all to do with Jesus. Today it is a time for racking up large credit card debts, lying to children about Santa Clause, teaching them commercialism and materialism, singing songs about glow-in-the-dark reindeers, and for gouging at one’s neighbor while fighting the Christmas crowds and traffic. One can go through a drug store card rack and not find a single Christmas card that even mentions our Lord, and manger scenes are being outlawed. Christmas originated as a way to celebrate a pagan holiday by disguising it as a Christian one. Now Satan Clause, flying reindeer, mistletoe, and Christmas trees are all methods to remove Christ entirely from the holiday and return it to its pure pagan roots. This verse from Jeremiah is one of the most prophetic verses in the Bible in regard to modern times. It is a clear and glaring warning against this pagan holiday and the wicked time of commercialism and materialism that it has become. The Christmas tree is a blatant affront to God, but many, if not most, professed Christians put one up. Most that do not, do not because it is inconvenient, not because they are convicted by the Bible. …”>>>KJV

‘CHRISTIANITY’, Not The Name Of The Faith Given By Christ

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:41:18 +0000

Since ‘Christianity’ was just a nickname given by unbelievers long after Christs death, and it was even first given to people who didn’t preach to other than JEWS! IE ONLY preached to JEWS.

(The christening of ‘Christianity’ in the Bible, years AD.)

Acts 11:19-26 -
19 … preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. …26…And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch

The only name that seems appropriate for the faith of Christ, that was mentioned in the Bible is-

‘Peace/ Salem/ Salam/ (Islam in Arabic)’

He(Jesus) said in his parting speech, that what he leaves with us is ‘Peace!’ So that’s the most logical name of the Faith he left!

Joh 14:27 -
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth (a special different ‘Peace’ gift), give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Other references that indicate ‘peace’ Being the name of Jesus’ creed-

Heb 6:20 -
where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

And what was the order of Melchizedek/ What was his kingdon that Christ came according to?…

Heb 7:2 -

Melchizedek..To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace

Hebrews 7:1-10 -
1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem/salam/Peace/Islam, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace. 3 Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually
Ge 14:18 -
And Melchizedek king of Salem/Peace

Another common description of Jesus:

Isa 9:6 -

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be ………. The Prince of Peace

It is so funny how we seemingly intentionally ignore thes obvious facts. I am sure Jesus would appreciate it better if we are referred to by more than a nickname. Jesus didnt come to do all that work for us, and then simply forget to christen his gift!

He called his gift- ‘PEACE’!, not the ‘Peace‘ we were used to. He was a priest and king also as was/is Melchizedek, of Peace. Jesus was the prince of peace and we also are followers of peace.
