TRUTH ~ What Is It? The Bible or LOVE?

 What does it mean to have Truth?

1 John 4:8 ASV — 

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

This will probably be one of the most important posts I ever make. I'd like to remind ALL it's not against flesh and blood (Eph 6:12), but mankind does have the right to choose, as all have freewill. In the end you will have to choose between the God of Heaven (Pure Love) or the God of the World.

• Ephesians 6:11 RSV — Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

• Did you ever stop to question the Bible?
• Did you ever wonder why it's so difficult for many to read?

MOST IMPORTANTLY...

• Did you ever notice it's written for the believer and about the believer?

When reading the letter (scripture), it says it was written by man but inspired by God. 

• Yet doesn't the Bible tell you not to trust in man?

• Jeremiah 17:5 ASV — Thus saith Jehovah: 👉 Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.

• Psalm 118:8 ASV — It is better to take refuge in Jehovah 👉 Than to put confidence in man.

• 1 Corinthians 2:5 RSV — that your faith might 👉 not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

• Ephesians 5:6 RSV — Let 👉 no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

• Doesn't the Bible teach the letter (scripture) kills?

• 2 Corinthians 3:6 ASV — who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the👉 spirit giveth life.

So now let's CAREFULLY read the verse that says scripture is inspired by God using two different translations.

• ASV - 2 Timothy 3:16 ASV — Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness:

• RSV - 2 Timothy 3:16 RSV — All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

• Did you catch the difference?

When read properly you see that it refers to the scriptures divinely inspired that can also be profitable for teaching, etc., it DOES NOT SAY all scripture 👉is👈divinely inspired by God. In other words, the scriptures that are inspired by God can help you in several ways as seen in the verse above and by telling you stories and future events, but ALL scriptures are NOT divinely inspired and that's why the letter (scripture) kills. Religion (churches) have been deceived by this.

And He said, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

— Luke 8:10

I've been told my teachings and understanding are incoherent...if you are not in the Spirit, they will be. 

• 2 Peter 3:15-16 RSV — And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable TWIST to their own destruction, 👉as they do the other scriptures.

• 1 John 4:6 RSV — We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

• 1 John 5:7 RSV — And the Spirit is the witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

Let's further investigate how the letter (scripture) kills...

• Who wrote the Bible?
• Who translated it?
• Do we have the original writings?

• If God's hand was ALWAYS in it, in ALL of it, would you need this scripture?

• Revelation 22:18-19 RSV — I warn every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if any one ADDS to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if any one TAKES AWAY from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

It's common sense. All scripture is NOT inspired by God, it's written and translated by man. God reveals scripture to those who truly GO TO HIM in love with NOTHING TO GAIN... for any who want truth, no matter what the cost. For those whose PRIDE does not get in the way of understanding. They DON'T GET PAID, and they give freely from the heart. The scriptures inspired by God are secretly revealed by the Spirit, as mentioned in the following verses.

• Luke 8:10 RSV — he said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

• 1 Corinthians 2:7, 10 ASV — but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, even the wisdom that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: — God has revealed to us👉 through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

• Did you ever stop to think that is why the Beroean Jews examined the scriptures?

• Acts 17:11 RSV — Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessaloni'ca, for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the scriptures daily 👉to see if these things were so.

• Why is this so important?

• 2 Corinthians 13:5 RSV — Examine yourselves, to see whether you are holding to your faith. Test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?--👉unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

• Ephesians 4:14 RSV — so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles.

• What's a perfect example of this?

• Jeremiah 23:26-27 ASV — How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart? that think to cause my people to 👉forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgat my name for Baal.

• Whose name is it referring to?

• Jeremiah 23:29 ASV — Is not my word like fire? saith 👉 Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

• Would you know this by reading the following verse from this version of the Bible?
• Did God inspire MAN to remove his name?
• If so, where's the verse?

• Jeremiah 23:29 RSV — Is not my word like fire, says the 👉 LORD, and like a hammer which breaks the rock in pieces?

• Is LORD God's name?
• Did he lie when he inspired this verse?

• Exodus 3:15 ASV — And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, JEHOVAH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is MY NAME FOREVER, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Yet, you won't find God's name in MOST "accepted" newer translations, even the newer translations of the ASV have removed it. It's the preferred choice of the Church, it's what they use to teach. That's why you RARELY hear of the Father being spoken of in the churches. Scripture has been manipulated and TWISTED to fit the narrative, a false narrative. That narrative has been sold and most of you have bought into it.

• Is it any wonder why many are so confused?
• Why many believe Jesus is Jehovah, the Almighty?
• Doesn't it make you wonder why translators continue to remove something of GREAT IMPORTANCE, like God's name?
• Do they have a verse to prove they should remove it?
• Doesn't it bother you?
• If not, why?
• If so, why read a translation without it?
• Why preach using verses without it?

If you are preaching using verses without God's name in scripture, you are NOT preaching for God, you are preaching a FALSE narrative of scripture. Most of you have been warned about this, but you do it anyway.

God's name is Jehovah, not LORD. He is ONE. He works by the Spirit; it is THROUGH Jesus that he is revealed.

• Deuteronomy 6:4 ASV — Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is ONE JEHOVAH:

• Matthew 11:27 RSV — All things have been delivered to me 👉by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

• Romans 12:2 RSV — Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Here's another example of deception, among countless, when it comes to religion. Ask yourself this simple but very important question...

• Was Jesus born on December 25? 

• Is it 👉deceiving to use that date for his birth if you know it's NOT TRUE?
• Do many believe it?
• Who practices this?

I've heard every excuse in the book as to why you do it, regardless... it does not change that people are DECEIVED by it. I have no problem going to church to hear the story of Christ and his birth, because it's a beautiful story, but I will NEVER practice what's attached to it, because it's starts on a 👉 FALSE PRETENSE... 👉a LIE ~ DECEPTION, and you the Church do a great job of selling it.

The above is just a small example of how deceived believers are. EVERY RELIGION in the WORLD is guilty of it, in one form or another... the Bible calls it "precepts of men".

• Matthew 15:8-9 RSV — 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.'"

The church (religion) has been deceived and deceives so many. They've dipped their hands into the Bible from the start. It's why many think it's okay to use the Bible as a weapon, to argue with others who believe in it or who don't. It's why the church (religion) is so DIVIDED. 

Most, if not all, have ALLOWED yourselves to be taught by scripture that kills, to be taught by the spirit of error... a false God. You make it about YOU and what you want to accept, instead of what SHOULD be accepted. That's pride and exaltation, it's not receiving the righteousness of Christ, it's self-righteousness.

• Acts 7:51 RSV — "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.

• Who was Jesus on earth?
• God or a man?

• Romans 1:22-23 RSV — Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or reptiles.

• 1 Timothy 2:5 RSV — For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the 👉man Christ Jesus,

Hence why Jesus always warned about the religious leaders and scribes who were WELL VERSED in scripture yet did not understand. 

• Matthew 16:11 ASV — How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

• Matthew 23:23 RSV — "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.

Many of you take your perception of scripture as truth... never realizing if you do ANYTHING in an unloving way, then justify it in your mind by using scripture, you are actually following the false God... and the Bible itself that has become your God (idolatry) because you follow 👉IT and not the TRUE GOD.

Most of my life, I've known this to be true from those who say they believe in God, but never understood it...hypocritical to say the least. 

• How can so many study the scriptures, say they believe in it, yet not see what they do is wrong?
• Why do they justify their behavior and act as if it's from God?
• Don't they see how hypocritical it is to say one thing and do another?
• Don't they see how pointing the finger at another is bad, don't they have a mirror?
• Don't they see that soft shunning in any way is just as bad as shunning?

• Ecclesiastes 5:1 ASV — Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.

The TRUE HOUSE of GOD is his WORD... it's not a building AND it's revealed by the SPIRIT, not man. If you do not have the Spirit in you, you WILL NOT understand.

• 1 Corinthians 2:13 RSV — And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths 👉to those who possess the Spirit.

• Some will get it, but MOST WILL NOT. (Many called, few chosen. - Matt 22:14)

I'm taught by God, not man...

• 1 John 2:26-27 RSV — I write this to you about those who would deceive you; but the anointing which you received from him abides in you, and you have 👉no need that any one should teach you; as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie, just as it has taught you, abide in him.

Most continue teaching and following a God I don't recognize in scripture. It's taken me a long time to understand this (up to 50 years of age), but the TRUE GOD has since revealed it to me... he's now helped me to understand it.

• Psalm 119:104-106;108-110 ASV — Through thy precepts I get understanding: Therefore I hate every false way. NUN. 👉Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path. I have sworn, and have confirmed it, That I will observe thy righteous ordinances... Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, 👉O Jehovah, And teach me thine ordinances. My soul is continually in my hand; Yet do I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid a snare for me; Yet have I not gone astray from thy precepts.

If someone comes to you in a loving way and tries to reveal things to you in scripture, do not think YOU are above them, that YOUR knowledge supersedes theirs. God will use ANYONE to teach you, it can be a "believer" or not. There is ALWAYS a lesson to be learned. I'm still learning. If you turn your back on them, you've turned your back on God and have become EXALTED with your own understanding.

Loving your neighbor means just that, love your neighbor. Don't do it because they believe like you or because you have something to gain, do it out of genuine care and want. 

Be TRUE and lead by example, helping others to do the same. Religion is the reason why my twins stay away from God and the Bible. They see you (religion) as the example and don't like it. That in itself says a lot. I understand this all too well, because I lived it myself. 

RELIGIONS are hypocritical and false to its power...

That's why you're so divided.

I've said this before, I know atheists who have more faith in God then you the "believer" (let that sink in), because they try to live a life of love and kindness as best as they can, giving back often...never doing it for a reward but out of true want. God is love. If you want to teach anything, teach that, not by your words, but by your actions... by practicing it yourself. 

Most of you reveal your TRUE SELF when protecting what you believe because you follow a Bible (idolatry), not God's Spirit. That's why your faith cannot come before LOVE. (1 Cor 13:2) God sends people to you for a reason, unfortunately you think your understanding is above theirs.

I've heard it said that you need to rely on a religion with solid foundations (most believe this of themselves) and I strongly disagree: No man-made church has a solid foundation... NONE. The only ones who believe this are the very ones that think you should be relying on man, on them and others like them. 

These may not see it in themselves, but they are exalted...

• Revelation 3:17 RSV — For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing; not knowing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

As I said before "soft" shunning (keeping one quiet), is still shunning, what's sad is that you THINK you are nice about it, and that your behavior is acceptable to God. I see many "believers" do it on social media, I've seen it happen to people I know and don't know, and it happens to me quite often...all church leaders have done it (been to many denominations), countless Bible studies and in social media groups. It's all about you and what you believe.

It's not a Bible study if all must agree with you, that's conformity, tickling of ears and SELFISH. That's thinking you have the answers...that's what cults do, that's what religion does. You've become complacent and stopped knocking, making it about you and your understanding, as you continue to follow the letter (scripture) that kills...a false God. (2 Cor 3:6)

• Galatians 5:13-14 RSV — For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but THROUGH LOVE be servants of one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, 👉"You shall love your neighbor as yourself."👈

You KNOW NOT the scriptures...

• 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 RSV — Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren, not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let 👉 NO ONE DECIEVE YOU 👉in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

TRUST NO ONE... this is clear in scripture. 

You should not listen to ANY who tell you to go to them.

Isaiah 48:5 RSV — 

I declared them to you from of old, before they came to pass 

I announced them to you, lest you should say, 

'My idol did them, my graven image and my molten image commanded them.'

Be aware of any teaching you to rely on MAN... the church (religion). Those who think they are well versed in scripture and believe the lies they sell.

• 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 RSV — For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

Here's another PERFECT example of CHURCH DECEPTION...

The church teaches you to partake in the body and blood of Christ, but what you should be doing is examining yourself first, testing yourself, to see if you are worthy of it. Something most churches DON'T TEACH you to do. 

If you are doing things in your life that you KNOW you shouldn't be doing... you shouldn't eat the bread and drink the cup, it's that simple. Don't take my word for it, there's a very important verse these churches never mention during communion.

You should be asking...

• Why?

• 1 Corinthians 11:27 RSV — Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner 👉will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.

• Are they TRUE teachers?

• James 3:1 ASV — Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.

• How does one partake in an unworthy manner?

• Proverbs 6:17-19 ASV — Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood; A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief, A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.

1. haughty eyes
2. lying tongue
3. shedding innocent blood
4. wicked heart
5. mischievous
6. false witness ~ liar
7. sowing discord 👈 (Religion - division)

• Colossians 3:5, 8-9 RSV — Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. — But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old nature with its practices.

1. fornication
2. impurity
3. passion
4. evil desire
5. covetousness (yearn to possess or have)
6. anger
7. malice
8. slander (talking about others in a negative way - gossip)
9. foul language (cursing)
10. lying 

True love (faith) will avoid all of the above... no one is perfect, but you TRULY can do your best to avoid it, and yes, it can be done. If you find you still need help in any of those areas, simply pray to the Father (Prov 3:5,6) the God of Lord Jesus (Eph 1:17) with a genuine want and he will guide you. 

Don't be foolish and avoid the churches who request that you partake with them...most of you don't have true understanding of what you are doing. They're luring you in with wonderful words then deceiving you... most of you, paying them to do it. (Rev 16:13,14)

• Revelation 18:7-8 RSV — As she glorified herself and played the wanton, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning. Since in her heart she says, 'A queen I sit, I am no widow, mourning I shall never see,' so shall her plagues come in a single day, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she shall be burned with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who judges her."

God's gift is free...

• How does one partake in a worthy manner?

• Galatians 5:22-25 RSV — But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 👉If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

1. love
2. joy
3. peace
4. patience
5. kindness
6. goodness
7. faithfulness
8. gentleness
9. self-control 👈

Please stop letting the church (harlot) deceive you... you've been seduced by her teachings, by her sorcery, she's false. Babylon is all Religion, and it will fall. (Rev 18:4, 23; 19:2)

Rely on the Father with a genuine heart, through Jesus he will be revealed to you, or keep relying on man paid by Caesar (money/government) to deceive you... freewill.

Proverbs 3:5-6 ASV — 

Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.

When I go to a Church it's not to be taught, I go there to edify as many as I can regardless of who they are, I judge no one by what they believe and the God they follow and love all, in or out of the church, and PRAY they see the error of their way. If you've been deceived by the church the fault is yours, because you relied on Religion to guide you, instead of God. 

The Bible is clear on this, keep it holy or God will NOT be in you. (1 Cor 3:16, 17)

• Acts 7:48, 49 RSV — Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made with hands; as the prophet says, 'Heaven is my throne, and earth my footstool. What house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest?

• Spoken of where?

• Isaiah 66:1-3 ASV — Thus saith 👉 Jehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will ye build unto me? and what place shall be my rest? For all these things hath my hand made, and so all these things came to be, saith 👉Jehovah: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my word. ...Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations:

This is the One True God that Jesus spoke of (John 17:1-3), that YOU ignore...

• Isaiah 6:3 ASV — And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is 👉Jehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

• Revelation 4:8 RSV — And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all round and within, and day and night they never cease to sing, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!"

Start learning to love one another. STOP making it about religion, use the money to help the needy, not YOURSELVES, as a form of income to TEACH. God's gift is FREE. Start making it about humans, ALL PEOPLE... all are in this together, all are in need, and all are sinners. Be the better person because you want to, not because you have to.

• Luke 17:10 - AMP So you too, when you have done everything that was assigned and commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants [undeserving of praise or a reward, for we 👉HAVE NOT GONE beyond our obligation]; we have merely done what we ought to do.’”

I don't need a Bible to show me who the One True God is because HE is with me. It's been revealed to me through the Spirit, through Christ. I don't need you (religion/man) to confirm it for me.

• Matthew 11:25 RSV — At that time Jesus declared, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes;

May the Father (Jehovah) through Christ bring you...

~ Peace, Love and Joy ~

It's All About the Reward...or Is It?

Reward

1 Corinthians 9:18 RSV — 

What then is my reward? Just this: that in my preaching I may make the gospel free of charge, not making full use of my right in the gospel.

Reward: It's what Religions strive for. 

It's because of the reward, the many who believe in it, do what they think is required of them from the scriptures. 

• What's the problem with this? 

Most do this for the reward, instead of doing it from their heart.

• Luke 17:10 - AMP So you too, when you have done everything that was assigned and commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants [undeserving of praise or a reward, for we have not gone beyond our obligation]; we have merely done what we ought to do.’”

This post is not about judging anyone. This post will touch on those who "make it about" receiving a reward. Countless (majority) like to boast about their faith, how they've been delivered (rewarded) and continuously boast about the wonders God has done for them. 

Most don't even comprehend the difference between being born again/anew and a calling. Any can ask for Holy Spirit, but not just any are anointed with it. (Luke 11:13; Acts 8:9-20) They think their calling means that they've been born again (chosen)... it doesn't. 

• Matthew 22:14 RSV — For many are called, but few are chosen."

This post is mostly to help those who think getting paid (rewarded) to be God's voice is okay, when it clearly isn't. 

It's one thing to give witness to your experiences, as all should, it's what life is all about...but it's another thing when you make it all about yourself: your belief, your church or your salvation. Lying signs and wonders. (Matt 24:24; 2Th 2:9) Many of you clearly are not testing the spirits with a clean heart. (Mark 7:20-23; Acts 17:11; Heb 13:9)

It is my hope that in reading this, many will have their eyes opened, in seeing the error of getting paid to teach God's word and learning from the error of making it all about SELF.

From the Son, the Lord of God's house, Jesus... 

• Matthew 7:22-23 RSV — On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'

From the Father, the One True God, Jehovah...

• Jeremiah 23:32 ASV — Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, saith Jehovah, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all, saith Jehovah.

So many of you BOAST about yourselves, about your salvation and turn your head away from any who try to show you "in scripture" the error of your way. If you are one to do this and refuse to see it in yourself, you will remain in Satan's hand. No matter how much one professes their faith, in the end you would have chosen money and/or have made it about yourself... choosing Satan over the TRUE and free gift of God (love). 

Narrow is the gate...

• Matthew 24:22 RSV — And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

I've often asked the question: 

• Why do people need a Bible to do what's right?
• Don't they know the difference between right and wrong?
• Don't they know how to treat people with kindness, how to put others first?

I know many atheists who strive to do the right thing, who show love and compassion. Some never opening a Bible...it's not done on the pretense that they will receive some reward or the ultimate reward of everlasting life. They're not perfect at it, but then who is?! These at least try out of their own will and want to be a good person.

• So why can't you?
• Why can't you simply try to be a good person regardless of the scriptures?
• Are you honest with yourself as to why you truly do what you do?
• Have you allowed yourself to be deceived by scripture? 
• Have you become someone you shouldn't be...exalted or pride-filled?
• Why do you treat people a certain way...is it truly from the heart or is because scripture says it's a requirement?

• Hebrews 4:12-13 RSV — For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

At least be honest about it...

• 1 John 4:20 RSV — If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

God's gift (love) is free, yet most charge and get paid to share God's word, his love.

• Ephesians 2:8-9 RSV — For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God-- not because of works, lest any man should boast.

True Faith is True Love...without it, you have nothing.

(1Cor 13:2)

Religion teaches that you must believe a certain way, act a certain way, avoid others in a certain way... it teaches fear. But worst of all...it teaches PRIDE, it teaches control, it teaches it's all about SELF. It controls the narrative, it's what THEY teach that really matters, after all, as they all say: "It's OUR CHURCH"...in the end revealing the love they profess to have for others is on the surface and not true. If you don't believe like them, you are judged, shunned or simply disregarded... considered an outcast and really don't belong.

They're right, it is THEIR CHURCH, because it's not God's Church.

• Ecclesiastes 5:1 ASV — Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.

• Where is the house of God, the temple, the church?
• Is it in a building and by teachers that are paid by organizations (world religions) that are tax exempt from the government?

• Mark 14:58 RSV — "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.'"

• 1 Corinthians 3:16 RSV — Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?

You must believe like them, listen to them or else... in the end, you really aren't accepted.

• Why?

Sadly, these don't know better because they give to Caesar and not God. They make it about self and not God. Many get paid by this system, the government, while others seek payment in the form of recognition and/or admiration from man... not God. These remain blind and are misled by the spirit of error.

These are asleep and keep those attending asleep as well. (Matthew 15:14; 25:9 -10) If one is truly in Christ, you will know of his presence, and you will know the Father, because it is Jesus who reveals him. (Matt 11:27) 

It's a Spiritual church, not a physical one... 

• Revelation 22:17 ASV — And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say, Come. And he that is athirst, let him come: he that will, let him take the water of life freely. 👈

Take Notice: The Spirit and bride say it's FREE to take the water of life.

• So why does the church (most calling themselves the bride) ask for money? 
• Why do they get paid, pampered and taken care of?
• Are they collecting to truly help only the needy within the church?
• Aren't they capable of finding a job and taking care of themselves?

• James 1:27 RSV — Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

God's gift is free, it doesn't cost a thing. If you are getting paid to teach God's word, you are following the wrong spirit, the spirit of error. (Matthew 10:8; Romans 8:32, 33) 

• 1 John 4:1 RSV — Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

In the end...it's ALL ABOUT YOUR TRUTH, not God's truth. You follow the scriptures (man's mistranslated knowledge - idolatry) the spirit of error, not the Spirit of truth. If you followed the true Spirit, you would be doing your best to do what's right anyway, you wouldn't need to rely on words written (mistranslated) in a Bible and you certainly WOULD NOT NEED MONEY to do it. 

You would undoubtedly do it for free, and not because you are looking for a reward either, but out of your own want and need. This is something I spent my life seeking, but couldn't find any doing it, religion had me running further into the world, because religion is hypocritical, it's false to its words... I finally started giving up on the God of the Bible, and like that, he awakened me. 

In the end, it was God who awakened me, not you the church or any who attend it. I'm grateful that he has brought me back to him and that I now could forgive and see past it all. It's NOT in a TEMPLE made with hands. (Zechariah 9:9-13)

• 2 Corinthians 3:6 ASV — who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, 👈but the spirit giveth life.

You can't see it because of your heart, you choose the way of Satan, the adversary. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

• Luke 8:10 RSV — he said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

God's sheep follow the good shepherd. (John10:1-15)

• John 10:15 ASV — even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

These will know who the Spirit truly is and won't use scripture to condemn another. These will truly be open to all and let ALL have a voice, regardless of what they believe...yes, even a 👉Satanist deserves a voice. 

• Ephesians 6:12 ESV — For we do NOT wrestle AGAINST FLESH and BLOOD, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

These won't judge another for what they believe because they have no fear in love which is very different then having no fear in PRIDE... the church (religion) is exalted. 

Religions teach fear and arrogance, to judge others for what they believe. That's why it's so divided. If you TRULY put your faith in Christ, you would know he's got this. (Romans 14:9) The Father gave him ALL AUTHORITY to guide his sheep, he doesn't need you to do it for him. He doesn't need YOUR CHURCH to guide his sheep.

Those who belong to God are taught by God...

• 1 John 2:26-27 RSV — I write this to you about those who would deceive you; but the anointing which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that any one should teach you; as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie, just as it has taught you, abide in him.

• How does one abide in him?

• 1 John 4:12 RSV — No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

These will guide you to God, the Father, Jehovah, and not a church made with hands or to themselves. These will be aware of the presence of Christ. (Acts 9:1-6; 1 Cor 15:5-8)

First the bride, then those that follow...

• Psalm 45:14 ASV — She shall be led unto the king in broidered work: The virgins her companions that follow her Shall be brought unto thee.

• Romans 9:25 RSV — As indeed he says in Hose'a, "Those who were not my people I will call 'my people,' and her who was not beloved I will call 'my beloved.'"

• Revelation 12:14 RSV — But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.

• 1 Thessalonians 4:16 RSV — For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first;

• Matthew 24:29, 35 RSV — "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken; — Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

• 2 Corinthians 12:2-3 RSV — I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into Paradise--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows--

Those that follow...

• Luke 12:38 RSV — If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants!

• 1 Thessalonians 4:17 RSV — then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord.

• Matthew 24:30-31 RSV — then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory; and he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

• Revelation 12:17 RSV — Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.

Questions to ask about Religion - churches made by human-hands...

• Do the leaders get taken care of financially?
• Why?
• Why does a person who lives on very little have to donate to support those who think they're entitled to be God's voice?
• Why are those who can hold a job and make their own way in life, living off the poor, or simply from the many that struggle?
• Why are these teachers entitled?
• Why can't they have a job, support themselves and preach for free?
• Do donations always go to help those who are truly in need, as it should and is supposed to?

• Matthew 22:21 RSV — They said, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

The scripture is clear, you just don't comprehend it, you cannot serve both...

• Luke 16:13 NLT — “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God 👉and money.” 

Heed the warning...

• Matthew 6:1 NLT — “Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will 👉lose the reward from your Father in heaven.

• Luke 21:3-4 RSV — And he said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; for they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all the living that she had."

True religion, true teachers do things out of care, out of TRUE want...not for a reward, not off people who can barely afford to put food on their own table or pay their rent, but they do it from the heart. 

You, the church (religion) who run the buildings made with hands, live off the poor and the needy... 

Babylon (religion) will fall. 

The deceivers have themselves been deceived...led by the spirit of error. (2Tim 3:13) If you're getting paid in any way by Caesar to teach the word of God, you are NOT doing it for God, you're doing it for yourself. You are the false prophet, the false teacher, doing it for the false God...the God of this system.

• 2 Thessalonians 2:4 RSV — who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

• 2 Peter 2:1 RSV — But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

• 1 John 4:6 RSV — We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

It's not against flesh and blood. Thankfully, there is another fold, these are that make it out of the great tribulation. They will not have the mark of God on their foreheads, but these will be guided to the water.

• John 10:16 RSV — And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.

• Revelation 7:14, 17 RSV — I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ... For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

• Luke 12:38 ASV — And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

Heed the warning... 

This happens on the last day, when the FATHER pours out his Spirit (Ezekiel 37:12-14). After heaven and earth pass away and the elect are gathered, it will be the New Earth. (Rev 21:1, 22:1-4) In the end, salvation is for ALL MANKIND, and you will be his people.

• Revelation 21:3 ESV — And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with 👉 man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his 👉 people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

This fold is on earth. (Isaiah 65:17-25) Their God will be the Father - Jehovah, and these will confess Jesus is Lord, the Son of God...not the one true God, as many false churches teach. These will no longer be followers of man (any religion) and their traditions.

• John 6:40 ASV — For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

To believe on Jesus is to confess he is the Son of God, 👉not the One True God, the Father (Jehovah). 

Please stop putting your faith in men...in religions, in teachers that get paid to sell God's word, those who are asleep.

Freewill... 

Jesus was in the form of God, a Spirit, he became a MAN who received the Holy Spirit in bodily form. (Luke 3:22; Acts 10:38) The Father worked through him by the Holy Spirit, when Jesus died, he returned as a Spirit (1Peter 3:18), in the same form of God (1Cor 15:45; John 4:24), that did not make him the One True God, the Father (Deuteronomy 6:4; John 17:1-3). He sits at the right hand of the Most High God, the Majesty on High (Psalm 110:1; Hebrews 1:3).

All God's messengers (angels) are in the form of God, they are spirits, Jesus was begotten, unique and above all, because he is the firstborn (Father) of God's creation, and it is through him that God's creation, the new creation, continued. He was begotten, becoming God's Son when he received the Holy Spirit in bodily form, being exalted after his death to the right hand of the Father.

• Acts 13:33 RSV — this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, 'Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee.'

• Colossians 1:18 RSV — He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent.

• 2 John 1:7 ASV — For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the anti-christ.
  

God's creation began with Jesus (John 1:1), not Adam and Eve, who sinned and died spiritually. Adam's children were in his likeness and image, not God's image. (Gen 5:3) Jesus is the last Adam, the life-giving spirit spoken of in Genesis 1:26, 27. The Father is the God of the living, not the dead. (Gen 3:22-24) 

Religion (ALL RELIGION) has deceived the world on this.

GOD is love...all are flawed with Sin (Satan). Love the sinner, not the sin. Help one another, as ALL are in this together. Stop making it about self (church), your faith, your belief or disbelief, and start making it about one another, in the name of love...true faith in God. Stop giving Satan what he wants... YOU. 

VERY IMPORTANT: Stop using God's word for monetary gain. IT'S FREE. The only sin to incur death is to sin against the Spirit. If you don't have the TRUE Spirit, you're not sinning against it.

Soon, sin (devil/Satan) will be destroyed. Have faith (love) and continue to do your best to give it to one another regardless of what ANY believe... please. Babylon (religion) has been deceiving all nations. (Rev 18:23)

• 1 John 3:8 RSV — He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

• Romans 14:11 RSV — for it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God."

There's beauty all around us, just look in the mirror and look at your neighbors. You don't need to hide behind religion to appreciate it. See the good in ALL mankind and TRUST in God's Timing. 

Where's your treasure?
