Nothing and no one is to come in-between you and the Lord. Not the
governments laws, or the denominational laws, or the teachers who lead
these denominations. There is one and only one High Priest and He sits
at the right hand of the Almighty. No man or woman or institution can
save you. No cultural or modern way, or teachings of science can get you
into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Only the truth can lead you to the salvation to which you seek. This
truth does not lie in the half-truths and perversions that are taught by
men, but rather they are in the very Word of YHVH. His Son – The
very Word of YHVH – said of the truth, "If ye continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free." (John 8:31-32) So the truth shall set you
free from what? It will set you free from the bondage that the tradition
of men and the rudiments of the world dictate. The Word will set you
free from the life of enslavement to the doctrines of men and the edicts
of religious leaders. Only by following the truth will you then discover
the way of Salvation, for The Word says again, "I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
In Hebrew, the word for truth is emet (HSN 571). The Hebrew word emunah
(HSN 530) means trusty, trustworthiness, and moral fidelity and is most
commonly translated as faith. Both of these words come from the same
root word and go hand in hand together. The Hebrew word tzaddik (HSN
6662) means just or righteous (someone who has been cleared of any
wrongdoing). So how does the Scripture tell us how a just or righteous
person is to live their lives? "The just shall live by his faith."
(Habakkuk 2:4b) Scripture tells us that a righteous person will live by
what is trustworthy and that is the truth.
If you do not believe a government can tell people that if they do not
believe a certain way that they will die, one needs only to look at the
history of this world to see the fact of this. In Cambodia, the killing
fields happened because those that had knowledge were a threat to those
in power. This also occurred in China during the reign of Mao Zedong.
Look how just for being the people of YHVH that the Israelites were to
be sentenced to death in Persia (the book of Esther).
When searching out the truth, you will find that those who control the
masses are often those who will pervert the truth to make sure that
their control is not questioned. These people's minds were reprobate
and their seething hatred towards others are obvious to the naked eye.
Constantine, the man who merged the Roman government and the so called
Christian church together, passed laws advocating the death penalty for
Jews who followed not his Christianity. Martin Luther wrote a book that
talks about burning the Jews synagogues and schools, stealing their
homes, and ridding the world of them.
To hate the Jews for putting the Lamb of YHVH to death is erroneous
because the truth is that you and I put Him to death because of our sins
and our need for atonement to bring us into YHVH's kingdom. Further,
it was YHVH Himself who sent Him to this earth for the sole purpose of
His death. So to hate those that put the Lamb of YHVH to death means
that you must hate yourself.
Perversions of the truth to justify ones own beliefs or to consolidate
power to oneself have been seen even since the Garden of Eden. With the
Great Lie being that what YHVH says is not what He means, then this
opens a door to allow anything and everything in. One could see that
already by the third century that you had so called religious leaders
debating on whether Scripture meant what it said or whether it was
entirely allegorical can be seen, as you look at the writings of Origin
and Esusebias (who was the chosen historian to Constantine).
Taking the Scripture and changing it up between languages allows those
controlling the changing to make changes of their own. Using languages
that are considered dead and translating words whose meanings do not
change into languages whose words do change causes people to
misunderstand Scripture, and those teaching the Scripture do not make
those corrections but rather continue down paths that use the new
meanings of words and work backward changing the meanings of the words
that do not change.
By going to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language,
Fourth Edition, and taking a word that has changed down through the
years via different languages, we can see how exactly words can mean one
thing but in actuality mean something completely different. By taking
the word cretin and looking at its definition, we see that it means
either a person afflicted with cretinism, or as a slang term means an
idiot. But when you look at the etymology of the word (study of the
origins of a word), we see that in English we get the word from the
French word cretin which means a deformed and mentally retarded person
found in certain Alpine valleys. This word can be traced to the Swiss
French word crestin which comes from the Latin word christinus and this
is the word for Christian.
The fact of the matter is that when you change up words or phrases –
or in the case of new manuscripts found within the last one hundred plus
years where they mysteriously leave entire verses or chapters out –
then you have a situation where the truth is being manipulated so it can
manipulate you. Also, Scriptures are taken out of context to mean
whatever one wants them to mean instead of reading what the Scripture
wants them to read. This causes different people to believe different
things all the while calling what each believes to be the truth.
The divisions that are here today are not new to the followers of the
Messiah, and are even recorded in Scripture to tell us how spiritually
deadly they are. "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no
divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the
same mind and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of
you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there
are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith,
`I am of Paul;' and `I of Apollos;' and `I of
Cephas;' and `I of Christ.' Is Christ divided? Was Paul
crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?" (1
Corinthians 1:10-13)
Divisions is the Greek word schisma (GSN 4978) and it means a split or
gap, and it is where we get our English word Schism. How many times have
you known, seen, or heard of a congregation having a schism? It is all
too common because you can not get people to agree on what Scripture
says. Contentions is the Greek word eris (GSN 2054) and means a quarrel
or wrangling. How many times have you known, seen, or heard of people
wrangling over the meaning of a passage until someone or a group of
people get angry?
Satan, by getting men and women to argue over the meaning of words as
well as changes in words, has caused the body of the Messiah to split to
where many have erred and left the faith because they allowed their
forbidden desires to take hold of their minds. In doing so, they chose
to allow the Word's meanings to change because they could not have
them stay the same. These people are not arguing over the Word, but
rather they are arguing over their forbidden desires and how that they
can control others.
Controlling others leads to both money and power. The ones who control
the masses controls what they do and can order them to do whatever they
want. Instead of fighting against him, Satan has us fighting against
each other, biting and devouring one another to the point that we all
lie bloody and spiritually dead. And since no one bothers to seek the
truth out, the fighting that they are doing is all based on lies and
misinterpretations of Scripture.
These modern day spiritual leaders love to be addressed by titles which
make them sound even more above others than they already are. They are
called by Pastor or Reverend or Father, but they are not being called
these things for the Messiah's sake. These men and women wish to sit
in the honorary places and be given reverence for their positions in the
"church."
They put themselves in the positions of being entrusted with the
spiritual truths so that the layman must go to them and them only so as
to find out what they need to do in the kingdom of Heaven. If you have
any problems, they are the ones who you are to seek out and you are to
ask them to pray for you because whatever they pray will happen. They
see their positions as destiny and so anyone who questions or who does
not recognize their positions are to be shunned. They are excellent at
delegating, but do not like to get their hands dirty.
These leaders, who do not teach the truth but revel in the perverted
truth work hard to go throughout the world and make disciples for their
cause. They scour the land, sea, radio, television, and internet seeking
converts to their ways. They teach out of other spiritual leaders books
that have been published before them so as to justify their own beliefs
and teachings. They seek those who are willing to submit to their
teachings and judgments and who will not go to the Word but go through
them to go to the Word. These false teachers huddle in seminaries and
other ministerial colleges teaching young minds using other books than
the Word to explain what the Word really means.
They have bound extra rules to people so as to make sure they do it the
certain denominations way. There are books, like the Methodists Book of
the Law, that seek to tell you how to live that denominations brand of
Christian life. Then they take those rules and regulations and use them
to sit in judgment over others, even kicking people out of a
denomination if they do not follow that denominations rules and
regulations to a tee. They hide their own lives behind closed doors so
that no one would be able to see their hypocrisy.
These false teachers love to demand your money and use the last little
bit that you have simply to enrich themselves or their own projects.
They love the long introductions detailing all the "good works" they
have done. They love to be asked to say the prayers or to lead the
congregation in study. They love to sit in special places within the
building and to wear fancy clothing that distinguishes them from the
rest of the people there.
None of this is new, for it has been happening ever since before the
time that the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. This had been
happening ever since the times of Moses and after, when leaders took
more upon themselves than YHVH gave them permission to do. Here is what
The Word had to say to those and these people.
"But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and
all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one
is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for
one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall
be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and
he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. But woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against
men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are
entering to go in. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore
ye shall receive the greater damnation. Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one
proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of
hell than yourselves." (Matthew 23:8-15)
He goes on to say: "Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow
a camel. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye make
clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are
full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that
which is within the cup and platter that the outside of them may be
clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are
like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but
are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye
also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of
hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
Because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers
of the righteous, and say, `If we had been in the days of our
fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the
prophets.' Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are
the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the
measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can
ye escape the damnation of hell?" (Matthew 23:24-33)
Those words were not only for all of those religious leaders of that
day, but they have been for every religious leader that denies the very
truth even to this day and beyond. These are people who will divert you
from the truth by sending you to another source. They will gladly show
you all the awards, recognitions, and degrees proving to you that they
are wise. When they do take you to Scripture, they either pull a verse
or two out of several different places or they tell you that what you
have read is not saying what it says, but really says something else.
The modern day scribes who publish modern day translations leave out
words, phrases, and even long sections of Scripture simply because it
does not bolster their views and they have found manuscripts that do not
contain them, written by others who did not share the view of Scripture.
