GOD

There is only one God, one Lord Jesus Christ, in whom God has clarified His Name as One. Jesus’ name is above every name and carries more power than any other word on Earth.  Jesus is Lord of all lords, the Lord spoken of in the Old Testament come in the flesh; every tongue shall confess this truth regardless of belief, birthplace, or background; some to everlasting life, some to destruction. The Holy One, Lord, God, The Almighty, is Jesus;  The revelation of God’s eternal being in the prophetic scripture is of a Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; all 3 united as one.  The Father, the Almighty, the Holy One, invisible, magnified himself through His Word (Psalm138:2) and divine providence on Earth. The Son, the Almighty, the Anointed One, the Holy One, the Word become Human.  Jesus of Nazareth, is the very image of God in human form, Jesus is how we can know and understand God, otherwise being invisible.  God’s/Christ’s Spirit is what bears witness with our spirit, testifying of Jesus.  Bringing glory to Jesus, brings glory to God the Father, because the Father glorified the Son, being unwilling to share His glory (Isaiah 42:8, John17:1-3).  When Lord Jesus, the Almighty, appears, we understand that He is our everlasting father and God and will not be asking Him to see the father.

GOSPEL TRUTH

The gospel or “good news” explains the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth for sinners and His resurrection from the dead for the redemption of those who believe, and the eventual fact of eternal perfection on earth and heaven, when Jesus himself is with us reigning as King from Israel.  The resurrection of Jesus is a factual historical event occurring approximately 33 years after the time change from BC to AD, Jesus birth reset time, a fact we can observe on earth to this day.  Jesus Himself will eventually destroy those not obeying the Gospel upon His personal return to earth to establish His Kingdom, Power, and Eternal Glory.

JESUS ON EARTH

Jesus was born of a virgin in the literal town of Bethlehem in Israel, fled into Egypt, in Northeast Africa, with Mary & Joseph to escape the murder of all children from 2 years and under in the area, returned to be raised in the town of Nazareth in Israel after Herod’s death, where he was a carpenter until the time for him to fulfill the scriptures was at hand.  God’s Spirit, the Holy Ghost descended on Jesus immediately after he came out of the water, even though he had no need of water baptism by the prophet John the Baptist; at that same time, a voice from heaven was heard which testified Jesus is the Son of God.  Jesus himself said He is the “Messiah” and “Christ”.  Jesus forgave sins, Jesus never sinned.  Jesus knew what humans were thinking, Jesus said people think of evil from their heart.  Jesus said he will judge the world, the secrets of man.  Jesus said he would raise himself from the dead, He did raise himself from the dead. Jesus predicted the future when he said that Solomon’s temple will be destroyed (not one stone left upon another), a historical fact that occurred approximately 40 years after he rose from the dead in 70 A.D. (visible to this day).  Jesus was of the Hebrew family lineage of King David.  Jesus was pierced for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, and the punishment that he endured brought us the possibility of peace with God (Jesus).

TRUTH

The real God is the God of Truth; He is faithful and True.  Jesus is the truth.  Truth is something a human can attain and know.  Truth is not dictated or determined by belief, although belief in the truth saves.  Scripture is true.  Truth cannot be changed by belief, truth transforms.  Truth cannot be escaped; you will die one day.

THE FALL

The first humans were named Adam (male) & Eve (female).  These two individuals sinned and then had a knowledge of good and evil (conscience).  A visible fact that Adam & Eve passed on to every human is the shame we bear of sin, which is why all humans wear clothing or feel shame otherwise.  Adam & Eve became the first family with the birth of a son called Cain, which later became the world’s first murderer of his own brother Abel.  Since Adam & Eve committed a crime (sinned) before conceiving a child, they passed on spiritual and physical to death to their children and every human after that, which is still why we all die to this day and no one can escape this.  As a result of this fall humankind as we know it when maturing thinks and acts in a way that is “evil” somewhere in our conscience first, and then an outward manifestation.  Crimes are committed in the mind before God and our heart tells us this, with shame or guilt in the conscience.  Sin is a crime, a crime against God; Jesus is God, who can forgive sins if humans confess and believe in Him before death.  Forgiveness of sins and belief in the truth about Jesus is evidenced by a sealing of Christ’s Holy Spirit joining with a human’s spirit internally, forming one spirit, testifying that Jesus is God and of the adoption they have received from Him.  An actual spiritual birth takes place in an individual life the conscience bearing witness, which is called the new birth; the person who receives the promised Holy Spirit becomes new and is eternally at peace with the true God… the only way to overcome the fall.

THE JUDGE & PROMISED JUDGMENT

No one can judge a human truly except God, Jesus said all judgment has been given to Him.  It has been appointed every human to die once and then face the judgment, an appointment that no human can escape, evidenced and witnessed by the fact that everyone dies and decays (sees corruption).  The judgment is evidenced in man’s conscience, bearing witness of hypocrisy.  The physical human body of Jesus is the only body that never saw corruption or decayed, as it was raised 3 days after being buried…after going up above the clouds after raising Himself from the dead, He is reigning as the worlds Judge.  The heaven and earth will fly away from His face at the judgment (Revelation 20:11), at which time everyone hoping to get to heaven because they were good enough will realize their hypocrisy, error, and go off to shame and destruction.  Good works do not justify crimes, a man shall give nothing in exchange for his soul.

SALVATION

The moment of salvation is Grace by faith, good deeds are not a reason Christ was crucified.  Salvation happens when a person trust/believes and calls upon Jesus as the basis of that trust for salvation.  “IF” that individual person gets saved it happens by the hand and timing of the eternal God giving them grace and faith not themselves.  Salvation happens in an instant with the sealing of the Holy Spirit, when His Spirit becomes one with ours, proof of our inheritance, and future  resurrection unto life; the individual has personal knowledge of this.  The individual who calls out to Jesus for salvation in conscience or word speaks to God; God responds with grace something highly undeserved and justifies that person in His sight because He was pierced for us. 

SCRIPTURE

The scriptures, the various witnesses, and compilation of writings (66 books), man calls the bible, are true.  The scriptures contain stories to which places and lands on earth are verifiably accurate.  The people that wrote each book were real, lived in actual time, and passed the writings down through the generations ensuring accuracy, keeping Gods Word.  Witness left writing which foretold the future on Earth.  We can see the writings, we can see the places, we can see certain events that have taken place in the past, verifying truth.  The witness’s writings in scripture agree, in the times and place for which they were intended.  God protected these writings supernaturally even when mankind has tried to burn or ban these writings throughout every age.  The scriptures foretell of mankind’s attempt to overcome the Words which God wrote us by letter, but regardless of language or tongue, the truth triumph’s over opinion or external witness.  The original writings of all the prophetic witnesses lasted about 1,500 years from Genesis to Revelation; the book of Revelation is the last witness, foretelling of what was to come now over 2,000 years later, stating within itself no one shall add or take away from this book of prophecy and doing so brings wrath.  When individuals want to hear from God nowadays, they can find His Words in the 66 letters of the bible only. Scripture points to Christ (Luke 24:27). If a man has thoughts within his own mind and those thoughts contradict the new testament witnesses, that person has their mind darkened and is not hearing from God, but a vain imagination instead.  God moved the pen of the individuals and preserved His own writings at the hands of men, agreed with himself in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents, over 1,500 years.  Scripture are writings that man could not author, in which God reveals proof of Himself beyond creation and mankind’s conscience of the law.  Who else can foretell events on earth in writing and make them come true all the time in every generation?

FLOOD

Jesus affirmed Noah and the flood in the new testament; Jesus never lied.  Noah’s ark and flood happened, a worldwide flood occurred, Earth’s face was covered with water.  The prophetic word was spoken which was confirmed over 3,000 years later with modern science, which claimed that there was water below the surface of the earth which burst forth along with rainstorms to accomplish global flooding of the earth.  All we can observe in the world before & beyond the year 2020 regarding animal breeding is a verifiable scientific fact; 2 of kinds, male & female.  All we can observe in the fossil record is bones buried ALL over the face of the world, evidence of water and earth coming together and settling over animals which were buried in a catastrophic manner; including fossilized sea creatures on mountain ranges, throughout the world. 

EVOLUTION

Evolution is a science fiction lie, that is reported as being true.  Men are changing the truth of God into idolatry, self-advancement, and worship the creature more than the Creator.  Charles Darwin among many others only fulfilled what the scripture said when they changed the glory of God to “birds”, basing his theory of evolution on bird’s beaks evolving in the Galapagos Islands.  His own theory collapsed on “transitional fossils” in the time of his life and after his death and will continue to fail forever.  Scientists from various regions have actually tried to fabricate or make-up these “transitional fossils” to try and lie, suppressing the truth in unrighteousness.  When we do an image search for “transitional evolutionary fossils” on the internet all we see is cartoons or man-made drawings/objects.  Men show bones of different kinds, claiming one became the other; The primary evidence is their vain imagination, cartoons, fake man-made images.  Different kinds cannot breed, exactly like the animals on Noah’s ark, exactly like the scripture says.  The big bang theory contradicts all reality, nothing doesn’t explode and become rock and more.  Something smaller than microscopic does not become 100 gazillion+ times larger and as hard as rock without God.  Nothing does not explode or expand; nothing = nothing.  God created the heavens and Earth in 6 days.  A day concerning the first “day” of creation is indicated in how we see the sunrise and set each day, light to dark, light = day, night = dark, evening to morning; noted as continuing this 24hr pattern by Apostle Peter to others in 2 Peter 3:4.

CHURCH

There is one body of Christ, those out of every nation and tongue who have believed in Jesus witnessed by receiving the Holy Ghost.  The church does not refer to a building and has no physical address.  Becoming a member of the church cannot be attained by writing on paper, filling out a form, at the authority of another man or woman, by an individual’s self-assurance or own personal convictions or beliefs, one becomes a member of the church body when God himself adopts them into his family by sealing that individual with His Spirit, and then, and only then, is their inheritance incorruptible.  Where 2 or 3 believers are gathered can be “church”.  God does not dwell in buildings or structures made by human hands, going to a building to find God leaves many empty and broken as they are seeking something that contradicts the scripture, to begin with.  All who call upon the Lord shall be saved, today is the day to call upon Him, now is the time, wherever someone is, is the right place to cry out to Jesus in truth for the forgiveness of sins.  Communicating, meeting, fellowship, and gathering with other “believers” is a command in scripture not to be avoided if possible, the church is supposed to be closer than family.

MONEY FOR GOD

Money never gains access to God.  The “teachers” who say that prospering in God is evidenced by personal gain, health, or money are ungodly; the true God’s divine judgment and wrath are abiding on them and does not linger.  These teacher’s bellies are full, they have made a false profession, contradict the writings of the apostles, and men have borne them into ministry through financial support and love the lies they tell in return.  Preachers of stories more than the Word; their own words more than the Word while speaking. Wearers of specific fine clothing, costumes, and business suits.  Marketers and book salesman; not realizing their book would have never been circulated with scripture; let alone sold by the church to expand Gods kingdom.  These refuse to work with their own hands, and do what’s honest.  Twisting scripture to justify themselves, to their own destruction. 

FAITH

Concerning finding God, knowing God, hearing from God, trusting in God, prophetic proof from God, and believing the truth; there is only one faith, the rest are man-made vain imaginations which will one day destroy the believer of the lies.  The true faith was in fact once delivered to the saints, at the hands of the apostles in writing, so the words could not be confused by anyone.  True faith is attained by believing the truth of scripture when interpreted correctly, where 2 and 3 witnesses agree in doctrine, and where New Testament is better because the prophets desired to see Christ, His eyewitnesses gave us letters.  God gives saving faith (Ephesians 2:8-9)an individuals attempt is vain.  

OLD TESTAMENT

39 books accepted.  Genesis is by far the most accurate historical record in mankind’s possession.  The accuracy of creation, knowledge of the unknowable, prophecy, and historical record are from God.  Old testament today is Jewish faith.  The Jews ignore the writings of the Messiah suffering first, the prophets testify and bear witness. 

BETTER TESTAMENT

27 books accepted including Revelation.  Messiah Jesus brought us a better Testament, the New Testament, in which He is the testator sealed by His death.  The words contained in the New Testament are applicable to all humans throughout every age until the time of Christ’s visible and personal return.  Not one Word has been diminished or passed away, a vast prophecy of Jesus, considering the violent attacks and martyr witness.   Those who misinterpret certain verses and align their words against the living God will face judgment, which is why the scripture warns people not to be teachers of the Word unless they have studied to show themselves approved before God, before trying to speak before man (Hebrews 7:22)(Hebrews Chapter 8)(2 Timothy 2:15).

LAST TESTAMENT

God’s revelation to mankind, the revealing of himself to mankind, is accomplished in scripture.  The book of Revelation closed the scripture; no new writings from God have or will happen again.  The end of time and the world are written.  The apostle John received the Revelation of Jesus Christ, signifying it was the Final & Last Testament.  No one was to add anything to the collection of the 66 prophetically inspired letters.  Receiving a Word from God outside of scripture, that contradicts new testament doctrine is not of God. 

JUSTIFICATION

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the only sin mentioned above another in the New Testament.  Although some sins are “greater” than others on earth such as murder vs inadvertent lying, both of those sins would cause an individual to be guilty at the judgment seat of Christ.  Mankind is no longer justified by works, but by faith in Jesus only.  Works are a result of God working in us, after receiving His Spirit, not an attempt to satisfy his wrath or declare ourselves innocent from sin.  Religious zealots, individuals, certain denominations that persecute one sin more than another are fallen from Grace and/or hypocrites forgetting the cleansing of their own sins or missing salvation altogether (Galatians 5:4)(Romans 3:26)(Luke 16:15)(1 Peter 1:9).

SANCTIFICATION

Maturity in Christ comes by studying God’s word (your spiritual food) and prayer (your worship, thanksgiving, and petitions to God), abstaining from fleshly lusts, and obeying Gospel instructions primarily listed in Romans Chapters 12 – 16.  If a Christian sins they are no longer in danger of eternal condemnation in His hand, but confession of sin is still needed to clear the conscience and done to refresh their daily walk with the living God.  Confessing sin to mankind, a priest, any individual is useless for the forgiveness of sin, we are to ask forgiveness from Jesus, the only one who can forgive.  After resisting temptation and evil for a season, the devil flees from an individual.  God builds up an individual, keeps, and preserves them, even when an individual is faithless.  Sinless perfection, the teaching that an individual can become sinless by keeping the law is a severe error; because the apostle Paul was trained in perfect manner of the law (Acts 22:2), Paul kept the law (Philippians 3:6), said none are good (Romans 3:10), mentioned he was a wretched man after salvation (Romans 7:24), those saying to keep all the law are hypocrites under a curse (Galatians 3:10), the Law makes nothing perfect (Hebrews 7:19), there is currently a perfect law (James 1:25) and royal law (James 2:8).  New testament law is to love God & people (Matthew 22:36-40), and live free of offense in conscience (Acts 24:16).  According to the Apostle a Christian is sanctified by the Holy Ghost (Romans15:16).  According to God Almighty, an individual is sanctified by faith in Jesus (Acts 26:18).

MARRIAGE

There are only two genders since the beginning of the creation; Male & Female.  Those denying this deny visible reality.  A Marriage is between one man & one woman for life, the only way to please God in relationship.  Sexual relations outside of a married male & female is fornication, the broad term for all wicked sexual activity which destroys individuals’ lives, brings about the judgment of God, and eventually leads to death and destruction by those who do it.  The calling of a Husband to his wife is the highest in New Testament scripture beyond obeying Christ.

SINNERS

Jesus Christ does love sinners but commands all mankind to repent of evil and trust in Him to receive His love in full, and to be restored to God (Romans 5:8). 

PROPHECY

The gift of prophecy to edify the church continues and should be coveted by individuals and never despised; those who don’t allow prophecy disobey the true apostle Paul.  Writing a “prophecy” or speaking “prophesying” and calling it scripture is surely falsehood, this was never the intention of the gift’s use.  The prophet is someone who is filled with the Word of God and then overburdened to speak forth God’s truth to sinful mankind (Jeremiah 20:9); prophets are always persecuted by religious & secular (Acts 7:52).  If a “man” rejects prophecy exists today, he rejects Apostle Paul’s command “do not despise prophecy” (1 Thessalonians 5:20) and new testament authority today (Romans12:6).  Not even all prophets or those with the gift of prophecy were inspired scripture writers (Acts 15:32).  Writing scripture is different than having the gift of prophecy; scripture writing has ended forever, perfect completion in the last testament of true prophecy, the book of Revelation. 

SPIRITUAL GIFTS

The spiritual gifts of the church are available to receive until the time of Christ’s return.  The spiritual gifts are not given by man or dictated by man.  The gifts have false counterfeits, every one of them, tongues and prophecy are the two most human manufactured false gifts today; many use these false gifts outside of the apostle Paul’s instructions or speak lies in hypocrisy for personal gain.  The gifts have only ceased if 1 Corinthians chapter 14 and Romans chapter 12 have ceased. 

JOHN THE BAPTIST

The forerunner in the wilderness (Isaiah 40:3) was the greatest man to ever live, being filled with God’s Spirit in the womb, testifying that Jesus was the “lamb” of God; Luke 1:15 & John 1:36 & Revelation 17:14. 

RESURRECTIONS

After Jesus resurrection day, when He rose himself from the dead, there are only and exactly 2 (two) resurrections to come, affirmed by no less than 3 witnesses; Daniel 12:2, Apostle Paul (Acts24:15), Apostle John Revelation 20:4-5, 20:12-14.  The rapture or “resurrection” in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 occurs after many Christian martyrs have already been beheaded for the witness of Jesus, by the anti-christ, during the tribulation, at Christ’s coming (1 Thessalonians 4:15), after anti-christ is “revealed” (2 Thessalonians 2:3), before the wrath of God is poured out (1 Thessalonians 5:9).  Following this event, Christ reigns over all of Earth for 1,000-years form Israel, with His Church/Saints.  After the end of 1,000 years, the Devil is loosed, inhabitants on earth outside the church are once again deceived, they surround Christ & the Church in Jerusalem, and fire comes down destroying them all, the rest of the dead are resurrected and judged by their works, and they along with satan are cast into hell forever, this resurrection is called, “the second death”.

GOD’S WILL FOR CHRISTIANS

God’s will for Christians is NOT a mystery.  He tells us Himself simple Instructions; to love Him.  To be filled with His Spirit & Word and to praise him through psalms and hymns.  Keep company and strengthen other Christians; love each other.  Never eat food offered to idols, never eat blood or things that have been strangled, never fornicate (Acts 15:29), and stay free of a guilty conscience (Acts 24:16). Worship God in Spirit & Truth.  Give thanks always in the name of Jesus.  Think about your heavenly calling and obey the Gospel.  Attempt perfection in love based on the attributes of love in 1 Corinthians 13.  Hold the truth highest.  When in doubt about a contradiction, Obey the Apostle Paul’s teachings and study Revelation; God used Paul to write instructions to the world, the gentiles.  The book of Revelation clarifies God providing blessing to the reader of prophecy. Revelation also exalts the Lamb who John the Baptist spoke of, identifying Jesus.  Have one mind and live in peace.
