Our
Savior has provided His Way for us to believe and live, within His Holy Word.
The signs of the times we have been warned to pay attention to are upon us now.
If you lack faith, the evidence is in every news telecast. We Don’t
Ever Beg For Your Contribution of Money
to Yeshua
Way Ministries!. That’s between you
and the Lord. You want to hear the truth from an organization
that is NOT busy telling you half-truths to tickle your ears so you will donate
to them. We are only interested in correcting the Vain Traditions of Man that
have entered in and choked the power of the Holy Spirit that resides in the
Words of our Savior. We are dedicated to His Words witnessed by
those who actually heard Him speak while He was among us teaching on this
earth. ALL teaching, that does not agree completely
with the quoted words heard by those chosen by Him to hear and record, is
not correct. In these times, before His arrival, we are all Each
Individually responsible to learn the truth as spoken by Him.
Remember the traditions you now cling to were incorporated before the masses
could read by Pagan Rulers and self serving religions throughout time. This
book uncovers many of these falsehoods.
God is a
Jealous God; There is only ONE path to
Heaven not many, as Satan, the ruler
of this world would have us believe. Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which
is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name
done many wonderful works? ¶ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew
you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever hears these
sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built
his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon
a rock. And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And
the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that
house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Mat 7:21-27
What’s the chance that any other
little strip of land smaller than New Jersey would still be in the center of
the worlds problems over 1900 years after the last government was wiped out and
the population dispersed around the world as slaves? Israel the home of Gods
Chosen was destroyed in 70 AD and restored by the United Nations in 1948 NOW
Worldwide terrorist organizations, having no regard for their own lives, follow
doctrine used by frustrated zealots intent on destroying America, thus removing
their only rival to be able to dictate their warped beliefs on a docile world.
We’ve already seen their tactics, the rest of the world trembles at the sound
of their voice! American citizens, born right here under our freedom of
religion laws have left the country and ARE being trained NOW! The plans are in
play as you read this to return these suicide-bombing teams. Destroy our
society with ‘dirty bombs’ made with radioactive materials making our government
and financial apparatus a chaotic mess weakening America to force it to bring
it’s military home to reconstruct our society. This is planed out already to
give them adequate time to fulfill End Time Prophecy. Remember… There is no
scripture that mentions the United States, so how could the U.S. be an
enfluence at the time of the Tribulation?
Heed
Yeshua’s Ways and be ready, for He will come as a thief in the night and take
an accounting of us all at a time we suspect not. See Mat 25:13 Watch
therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man
cometh.
We are
here to assist you learning His ways by showing you quotes of what He said to
believe and do. We want you to read it in any KING JAMES VERSION Bible for
yourself! PLEASE Do Not believe anything written here without checking the
scripture references yourself! Feel free to jump around by using the hot table

Aren’t we making a Mountain out of a Mole Hill? NO
and here is why; ‘Yeshua’ is the correct name for the son of YHVH. Most of the world
calls him ‘Jesus,’ which in reality is an English Translation of a Greek word
for the Hebrew name Joshua and NOT Y’shua, because there was no Greek
translation for Y’shua and Joshua was as close as Paul could get to the ‘sound’
of Y’shua’s Hebrew name. In English we usually don’t use accent language marks
so we spell it Yeshua. While most think the difference doesn’t matter, it
should be noted that Yeshua’s name in Hebrew is the very essence of the main
message of the Holy Scriptures. ‘Ye’ or ‘Yah’ is the poetic form of YHVH or
Yahweh, the name of Elohim, and ‘Shua’ means ‘saves’. So we see that Yeshua’s
very name declares “Yahweh Saves.” We will learn more about Paul later, but his
changing the name of our Savior was a convenience he started without knowing
the importance of using the correct name. Now we know though the Gospels we are
to pray and do works in His name, it might help if we did it with
HIS name. Greater Details See Ch 6 A
Rose by Any Other Name.
Many of us were enticed by Satan to deny the Savior
and His teachings reasoning God and Yeshua were not real often because of the
hypocrisy of what we see the representatives of the various ‘religions’ do.
Then there are those TV preachers going for our financial support by twisting
the Word of God to gather mammon (Wealth) for their VANITY. No man can serve
two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he
will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Mat 6:24 & Luk 16:13 Let
them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the
blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Mat 15:4
In fact Hypocritical Christians are one of the main
reasons more people do not follow the teachings of our Savior. But then many
were called back, some deciding that just because every one we see is wrong
doesn't mean God isn’t real and we can’t learn of Him by reading it for
ourselves. In our case we were doubtful for many years but eventually had to
choose which God we were going to serve.
To start we wrote down His Sermon on the Mount and
inserted the chain references and defined words we didn’t understand. When we
finished, we read it again and it started making sense! We started to believe
and pray; asking for help in understanding. With just a little effort
understanding became very clear. It was as if someone was teaching us. Since
1980 we have been telling others the differences between what the churches say
and what is really written in the Bible. See Personal
Testimony Amazingly
the Bible warns these changes will be made and since they have, believers are
to see it as a sign of the End of Days. 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. Mat 5:19
This book is the ever-increasing results of over 28
years research and study learning the history of the world and the
establishment of the various religions collectively known as Christianity. Those
churches that are suppose to spread the words of the Messiah to everyone and
with out variance they all fail to do and teach HIS ways; instead they say the
Bible has to be interpreted and each religion claims they are the only ones who
can do it.
Who has the authority to change what is written
anyway? At Judgment you will not be able to blame your church or organization;
they may be guilty of spreading false teachings, but when you go to
judgment you will not be able to blame believing false doctrines on nobody but
yourself. My Mothers is a devout[1] believer
whose excuse for ignoring the Savior’s words was “Nobody I go to church with
believes that and I don’t want to be alone. I asked everyone in my Bible study
group if I was wrong, and they all said no, so I’m not going to change what I believe
to what you say is written in the Bible. You must have read it wrong because
everybody can’t be wrong. Look at the whole world and see we all worship
basically the same and everybody Can’t Be Wrong!” Not every one that said unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
the Kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father, which is in
heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in
thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many
wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of
mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house
upon a rock: Mat 7:21-24
There is no substitute for studying the scriptures
for yourself. When you study for yourself you are communicating with God. His
Spirit enters through His Word and if you allow, begin to guide and alter your
thoughts.
In the Sermon on the Mount He plainly teaches when
you pray to go to your closet where not even your hands know each other to
pray. But you, when you pray, enter into you closet, and when you have shut
thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which sees in secret
shall reward thee openly. Mat 6:6 He specifically says that Praying out loud is
Hypocrisy. If you
pray out loud you are not doing it as He teaches. Yet when you ask those who
represent the religions to explain themselves in relation to this teaching,
they always have some kind of excuse to try to justify their going against what
He teaches like, “ Well I don’t pray hypocritically”. Sorry but He says hypocrisy is
praying out loud.
Somewhere we all got the idea that someone smarter
than us figured it was OK to change things here and there, Even though He warns
against changes in His Doctrine "Some say THEY KNOW He really
didn’t mean what He taught. THEY know the Mind of God. The people
who recorded what Yeshua said in some cases waited till the next generation to
write it down so it’s obvious those 4 books were written incorrectly and even
though they were written at different times in different places the fact
that they are so similar shows they all got together and decided how they were
going to write down the Words of our Savior and fool everybody.
OR
Maybe what He taught impressed the individuals so
much that they were eventually compelled to write it down at different places
and years apart! The fact that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are so similar is a
witness supplied by the Holy Spirit for those who aren’t operating on Faith
yet. As a matter of fact there is not just one other witness, which in a court
of law is enough to send a man to his death, but there's at least 4 different people, who lived in
different parts of the known world at the time and all remembered Yeshua’s
Ministry basically the same.
It is NOT OK to change some things justifying it one way or another.
Then wonder why prayers don’t get answered. Besides you are praying to some guy
who’s name in Hebrew would be Joshua.
The Bible stands on it's own and with the use of a dictionary each of us is responsible to find the truth of
Christ's teachings on your own. This book is just a helping short cut that will start to show you what is written and where it is,
so you can check it out for
yourself.
Use the index on the left to easily jump around the
subjects. There is a lot of information and you may want to read it in a
different order than it was written. There is a narrative throughout the book
and it is intended to be read from the beginning to end but each section should
be able to stand on it's own if you want to jump around. I use a Satellite dish
for access and the index seems to work well. Please leave a note if you find something
that needs to be corrected. Now on to the book...
The plan of Salvation remains the same! A conscious
person, capable of thought and decision making, must 1st accept the fact
they are a sinner. They must repent (to feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed to change
one's life for the better; be penitent.) of all
sins, and accept the Savior personally as Salvation, 2nd Be Baptized in
Water throwing off the 'SELF' that sought pleasure through sinful acts and 3rd
live life in the presence of God, His Kingdom and His Ways by following His
direction found through continuous reading of knowledge through the Holy Word
of God, Being Aware of our Saviors Warnings:
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have
we not prophesied in your name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in
your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never
knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. Mat 7:22-23
Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as
you think not the Son of man comes. Mat 24:44
OUR
STATEMENT OF FAITH:
We believe
True believers in the Messiah recognize what is written, by witnesses to the
Messiah's Ministry, as TRUTH. In truth every person is not going to get it (see Mat
7:21-24); being Chosen by God, to hear His Voice and be
saved by acceptance, Baptism and Belief in the Complete Ministry of Y'shua ha
Machiach, (Yeshua the Messiah). Our Faith teaches that few of those people who
have been blessed to have knowledge of our Father and are then Saved from eternal
damnation separated from God, are then chosen to understand the existence of
the whole truth written in and found through knowledge of the Word of the God
in the Holy Bible, We believe the Bible to be at least the inspired Word of
God.
We believe
the Lord God and His Son Yeshua, are One, and reside within and without every
quark, (the smallest of all the known sub-atomic particles known at this time).
We believe the Universe is infinite and those chosen will be trained further
and then allowed to be responsible for their own set of Galaxy’s.
We believe
the Jews are the chosen people and those of us who completely adhere to
Yeshua’s Ministry and Teaching are grafted into the inheritance of the Jews who
accept Yeshua and His teachings. That we are all, capable of becoming sons of
God. Behold, what manner of love the Father has 33bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons
of God: therefore the world know us not, because it knew him not. 1JO 3:1
We believe
items discussed within this book are important and relevant to any person who
considers themselves a 'True Believer in God'. We believe there are many more
mysteries to be learned.
We believe
If you fit into the category of 'Atheist' humans*, we humbly regret your
plight. True believers do not hold any animosity toward you or others who do
not agree with what they believe in. All Unbelievers in the One God, Supreme
being; By word or deed
are an ATHEIST: a·the·ist (!Æth"ist), n. a person who denies or
disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings. 1565-75; áthe(os)
godless + -IST -Syn. ATHEIST, AGNOSTIC, INFIDEL, SKEPTIC refer to persons not
inclined toward religious belief or a particular form of religious belief. An
ATHEIST is one who denies the existence of a deity or of divine beings. An
AGNOSTIC is one who believes it impossible to know anything about God or about
the creation of the universe and refrains from commitment to any religious
doctrine. INFIDEL means an unbeliever, especially a nonbeliever in Islam or
Christianity. A SKEPTIC doubts and is critical of all accepted doctrines and
creeds.
The end of it all appears to be racing toward us.
We see prophecy being fulfilled daily in the news and yet no one knows the day
or the hour. It could
happen... NOW!
What would you do if you could warn people you
didn’t know they were about to be consumed by a cataclysm that would send them
and everyone they loved to an eternity of the harshest slavery imaginable? All the
while knowing most will immediately despise you and many set out to destroy
you. Would you tell them how to avoid this fate worse than death? Our Saviors
message was built on warnings that will come to pass; maybe even, in our
lifetimes. Here you will learn the devil has, through various means and
thousands of years, very subtly influenced the leaders of Christianity to
change things here and there to a religion that at first glance seems quite
normal. But then when you seek God’s Will in your life, through study in the
Word, you read and you realize, Now, It’s not really the Way Christ meant it to
be.
There is no surmising or theorizing here that we
call fact. Although rare within this book (only 2 or 3 instances come to mind),
if something we say is not stated specifically in scripture but a ‘guess’, or a
‘theory’ we plainly say so. These few instances are clearly identified so there
is no doubt. The rest is clearly backed up by specific scripture that you can
go and read for yourself. We don’t even want you to believe anything within
without checking it out for yourself.
While reading this try to bear in mind we know
we’re not persuasive enough for some while others will think we beat the point
into the ground to accommodate everyone’s reading level. To further assist
throughout you will see small notations above words. These are hot links when
viewed Online the Website or inside of Microsoft Word. These lead to further
information from actual definition or the footnote of the word or sentence we
felt needed to be defined. All word definitions have been pasted directly from
either Random House Unabridged English Dictionary, Webster’s Thesaurus or other
electronic media. By Clicking on them you will go to the information we have

The King James Biblei is the English Bible Version we use. Many refuse
to read this Bible saying it is confusing to have to read old English. To
remove this stumbling block we have edited many Elizabethan Old English words
to words we commonly understand. If our word processor flagged a word as being
misspelled we changed it to a more common form of same word or into the
modern version in most cases. Examples of words we changed are those that
originally ended in …eth, such as believeth and sleepeth, among others. We have
used more modern words in other such cases; i.e.: from spake to spoke and shew
to show. Unfortunately we are human and although we have proof read this book
many times we may have accidentally updated incorrectly. If you find any
errors, please send us a note so that we can correct it. We strive for
perfection in representing an accurate version of the Word of God. If you have substantial
scriptural proof that any of our Saviors doctrines have been
misrepresented within, we encourage you to share the proof with us so we may
investigate. We are all continuously learning more and more of our Savior and
we will remain his students throughout eternity.
Every effort
has been used to insure the exact meaning of the words we have redacted1. Phrases
remain in the same format as found in the King James Bible. Quoted Bible verses
are written in italics. Every reference is provided immediately after
the quote. Please use these references with your Bible and Dictionary to check
every word and precept2 we share with you.
To begin with
we commonly believe the Bible to be the Word of God. But in reality only the
original languages the Bible was written in are the exact inspired Word of God.
Secondly, most Theologians and other Bible scholars agree the King James Versionii, in its
original Elizabethan English interpretation of the original languages, is the
most correct translation. The KJV has been studied in these modern times
and proven to remain the most literal and correct English translation because
of its concise verbiage3
Because nearly
everyone in the modern world can read English and has access to a King James
Version of the Bible, no longer is the general public dependant upon the
preacher or priest to teach them the Way of the Lord. Everyone that has had
access to a Bible is therefore responsible for reading, understanding and
preaching it.
He was hunted
down tortured and died a heinous4 death for what
He believed and taught others. How then can we ignore what He taught and still
call him Lord? While reading, we encourage you to check out every reference for
yourself. Verifying references will help you understand what the Word of God or
Bible really says. This is presented to those chosen by the Almighty to know
the truth.
Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when
they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast
out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice in that day, and leap
for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner
did their fathers unto the Prophets. Luk
6:22,23
The Messages of our Messiah compiled
for Advanced Believers
His Name IS “Yeshua”
Complied By: Yeshua
Way Ministries; Students of our Savior
As disciples, (or students),
of the Messiah we have researched and compiled this book. We strive to focus on
what our Savior said in the Quotes attributed to Him first, by the people who heard
His Message. Including scripture that is referenced to,
from His teachings in relation to the entire Bible. Learning what
His Doctrine is, without listening to the various
religions of the world. We read and believe totally what is written by His
Witnesses that walked with Him for 3 ½ years. If any scripture conflicts with
the witness of the Original Disciples, the conflicting scripture always fails
to be doctrine we can adhere to. We realize John 1 says In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. But we must
remember also: And the light shined in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not.
We have the greatest respect and admiration for all
devout persons seeking God and His Holy ways. There are multitudes of religious
sects and orders, too numerous to name. Many have such strong moral character
they steadfastly defend what they have been taught, to their own demise. We do
not regard their individual dedication with indifference. Quite the contrary!
Our Savior demands all to be zealous in faith. Being devoted and strong in our
Faith is exactly what is called for.
Even so, every believer’s responsibility is to make
sure we use that dedication for the correct cause! The evil one’s primary goal
is to sway as many as he can from Truth by pushing this way or that way all the
while comfortably tickling our ears. Most denominations preach ‘Feel Good’
doctrine picking and choosing scripture that supports their warped belief
system. In most every case some of the doctrine they preach is in direct
conflict to what the witnesses of our Savior’s Ministry wrote down! The
doctrine now being taught as Gospel through the ages is mans attempt to twist
scripture to prop up doctrine that is geared toward obtaining their flocks
devotion and financial support.
We read the forewarnings of the wrath to come and
think it is the other guy whose beliefs will condemn them to the eternal wrath
of God. We snuggle down in the comfort of our fellow church members and
continue totally blind to the error of our ways. On Judgment Day when the Lord
asks us why we got it wrong, do you think He will have mercy when we failed to
research the Bible for ourselves? Oh Mother, Oh Father, Oh Sister’s and
Brother’s you had your chance and refused it. When you beg the Policeman for
another chance does he say, “OK”? Or does he say, “You should have thought
about that before you got caught.” God’s Mercy expires at the moment you take
your last breath because the next thing you will see is the feet of the throne
of Judgment.
*And unto man he said, Behold, the
fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Job 28:28
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a
good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures
for ever. Psalms
111:10 The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is
understanding. Proverbs 9:10
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the
spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit
of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall
make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge
after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears
Isaiah 11:2,3
Our Responsibility is to Study
to show yourself approved to God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth. 2TI
2:15 And
he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross (daily), and follow me. LUK
9:23 And
whosoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. LUK
14:27
But many believe
salvation only requires this admission: For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Believing
if everyone confesses only this, it alone is enough to gain admittance
into Heaven. We believe that if someone were to hear of the Salvation
offered by our Messiah for the 1st time confessed belief and died a
short time later, this is indeed may be all that might be needed for this
individual at Judgment. Just as the thief5 on the cross who accepted
Salvation and was promised immediate transport to Heaven after his confession
of faith. But if just saying those 25 words was all that was necessary, then
what is the purpose of the rest of the Bible? Why would the Messiah travel all
over Israel spending 3 ½ years, finally being resurrected back to the Father.
To demonstrate you believe in our Savior you must learn His message and do what
He told us. And why call you me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I
say? LUK 6:46
We
are not writing this to point our finger or start arguments regarding any
religion or it’s beliefs. Nevertheless we have an obligation to illustrate
fallacies6
within established religions. To that end we simply supply you with what is
written in the entire Bible by the subjects in relation to Yeshua’s doctrine.
We recognize and encourage each believer to understand we all are each individually responsible to
continuously seek the answers for life. We show the Way the Messiah taught we
should believe, often in contrast to other traditions and doctrines of man that
have entered in to seduce us all within various religions and faiths to the
path to eternity in hell.
Yes, you heard not;
yes, you knew not; yes, from that time that your ear was not opened."
Isaiah 48:8 Since you were precious in my sight, you have been
honorable, and I have loved you. ISA 43:4
Oh Holy Spirit, give
us henceforth the hearing ear, the understanding heart! Before we no longer
have the power to choose.
This Book is about
differences between what our Savior is recorded as to have said in relationship
to the most prevalent belief in Him we find. That is belief that once you have
confessed the words of FAITH accepting Yeshua as your Savior; that's it!
Nothing else is required.
Sorry but it's not quite
that simple. When He teaches 'Many will be called, but few Chosen' Yeshua is
telling us all something very profound. FEW will be chosen to have their eye's
-Un-Blinded- to the truth. A true believer in Yeshua concentrates
on the words of Yeshua. Base's their belief structure on HIS Words and not
someone who Never Heard Him speak the words of His 'Doctrine'.
Study the whole Bible
in relation to HIS Teachings. This makes you a follower of His. If you believe
someone else you're not a follower of His. There is No Doubt the people, whom
ever they were, were striving to get it right. Many argue these Gospels were
most likely written by someone other than who it's authorship is attributed to.
OK, there 'may' have been some comparing of notes as well, but does that
disqualify them from being correct? If it were you or I, wouldn't we write in
Fear of the Wrath of God if we quoted Yeshua incorrectly?
Paul corresponded with
the churches he established. These churches wrote to him with questions he
responded to. We don't have the churches letters. We only have Paul's writings
which HAPPEN TO occupy 2/3rd's of the New Testament.
Please Note That We Do
Not Disagree With What Paul Wrote On Matters That Do Not Conflict With The
Teachings Attributed To Yeshua!
Unfortunately What he
said is some times in direct conflict with the witnesses who wrote Yeshua's
Words down.
Come now, and let us reason together, says the
LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though
they be red like crimson, they will be as wool. Isaiah
1:18 You have
lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; you have nourished your
hearts, as in a day of slaughter. James 5:5 But in vain they do worship
me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. TIT
1:14
In elementary school a lesson is often taught where
an entire class forms a circle on the gym floor. The teacher tells the student
to one side a short story. Then each student in turn tells the story around the
circle until the last student tells the story aloud to the rest of the class.
Invariably the story has changed here and there as it was told around the
circle. The hearers retold the story in a way that emphasized a part they thought
was important or simply left out details they thought were not important. By
the time the story is re-told later, it is of little wonder it changed.
Unfortunately, In the case of our faith in God and our acceptance of the
Salvation of our Messiah’s sacrifice, changing things here and there has
weakened the Word to the point it is ineffectual in many cases. How can we know
Gods will if we don’t know the whole story? If we only listen to the last
person that heard the story can we have confidence what we heard is the whole
truth?
Just for a minute think about how much time has
gone by since our Messiah taught. It may be hard to fathom until we think about
it in relative terms. The Americas were found in 1492 and it took nearly three
hundred years before the 1776 July 4th Independence Day. It has now
been over 2 centuries since the first Independence Day in relation to the over
20 centuries since our Messiah taught. It’s easy to look at history in a
blanket of facts and figures without fathoming7 the subtle8 influence of
the devil has had in the amount of time it has been.
Now think of the many things once considered fact
that over time we now know to be hoaxes. A good example is the medieval medical
treatment called bleeding. Doctors used to open a vein in a sick persons arm to
let out the ‘bad blood’ or ‘Spirits’ to cure many different illnesses.
This practice often resulted in the death of the patient. How about the wearing
of a garlic to ward off evil spirits? There have been volumes written about
what was once considered fact now proven to be hoaxes. In retrospect our
individual lifetimes seem pale in comparison to the history of the United
States. This book illustrates how, over the more than twenty centuries since
the Son of God walked on the earth, the story has changed. The alterations,
which were rarely innocently motivated, have now multiplied into such vain
traditions of men, which override much, what our Savior taught. Every Christian
religion has been created using these unbiblical traditions. These traditions
separate us from the Power of God. But in vain they do worship me, teaching
for doctrines the commandments of men. MAT
15:9
Provoked by Lucifer’s task to sway us from Faith,
changes were consciously instilled9 by those who had ulterior motives. Organized
religions now are more concerned with pleasing their masses by tickling their
ears and in keeping comforting Pagan traditions. We read the warnings in
the scriptures admonishing us to take heed to not fall prey to false doctrines
but most are sure those traditions which began in Paganism now justify their
faith. False doctrines have entered in, in detriment10 to the
message of our Messiah. Others cling to some remote Bible Text, which has been
twisted, misquoted and/or misinterpreted over time, to demonstrate how holy
they are. All the while remaining ignorant of what the Word really teaches.
The early followers of Yeshua found this to be true
in their time as in the following example. For when they speak great
swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through
much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 2PE 2:18 Now much more
than these errors have entered in!
Let’s review some examples found within the
doctrine of a famous religion started in the United States. Their members are
by in large very devout followers of their doctrine and we have a high regard
for their intentions. But their claim to have Christ Like beliefs is
misleading, when they teach doctrine in complete opposition to what Yeshua
taught. One example is their belief that once you are married in their religion
you continue to be married after death in heaven. We quote from the Holy Bible,
Yeshua answered and said to them, You do err, not knowing the scriptures,
nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given
in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. MAT 22:29-30
Their doctrine confesses belief in Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible. They even
offer free Bibles in their TV commercials. Unfortunately their young
missionaries are ignorant of what the Bible quotes our Messiah said on the
subject. When confronted with this passage from the Bible they have no answer.
They leave promising to get back with you and you never see them again.
Then there is another religion that teaches if
their members murder non-believers of their messiah with a bomb strapped to
their chest, they will be rewarded with 72 female virgins to fornicate with
when they get to their reward. We wonder if their women martyrs get male
virgins?
And other so called Christian beliefs whose members
pray to someone other than the Savior because they believe that person is alive
in Heaven and exercises influence over Him.
The Way of Yeshua is pure like the salt of the earth.
We use salt to add flavor to our food and it is a necessary mineral in our
diet. We can spread salt over a table and then gather it into a saltshaker and
still use it to flavor our food. But what if we add something that is exactly
the same size and appearance but is really ground glass? Even though the glass appears
to be no different than the salt in it’s size and shape, the mixture is now
deadly to consume. Since there is no practical way to separate it from the
ground glass, is this salt now good for seasoning?
In reality the way is not complicated, the Cast Out
One, Lucifer, has just cleverly mixed in his teachings with the truth in plain
sight of us all. Even when we know the truth of his deceptions we continue to
desire his lies. The evil one has a simple task, to tilt us one and all very
slightly from the truth. Not only through the seven deadly sins: vanity,
arrogance, conceit, envy, lechery, lust and pride, but there are other less
obvious deceits he started immediately after the Resurrection. When we get
motivated to seek the truth the devil tries to convince us to believe we are
too busy, or we can’t seek knowledge simply because we find a stumbling block
in the King James Elizabethan English which until you work at it can be hard to
read and understand. Whatever the reason when we are seduced from faith11 he wins. We seek solace12 and security
in the doctrine of our individual denominations or the preacher we listen to.
From the beginning the establishment of different denominations is a tool of
the devil. The Holy Spirit inside of us all whispers to us that having Faith in
God is something special that we should cherish. Unfortunately denominations
create divisions among us. When we listen to the teachings of our denomination
we get seduced from the truth, before we find the truth within the scripture
for ourselves. We are lazy and even though our original intention to seek His
will was pure, we get caught up believing our confession of faith was enough to
make us righteous before God on Judgment Day simply because we find comfort in
other people like us who act like they have faith and deliverance.
We quickly loose our motivation to seek the truth
and replace that with an organized religion we find comfort in. Hey it’s
easier! We loose the insight that tells us since we are sons
and daughters of God, we are each
individually responsible for studying to prove
our faith. This is especially true in this day when nearly
everyone in our societies has the ability to read it for ourselves. Now, with
the availability of computers and the Internet, we can research scriptures in a
twinkling of an eye, which makes each of us
responsible for rightly dividing the word of truth. 2TI
