Someone ask the Savior "Master, will there only be a few people saved?"  (Luke 13:23)

Someone once asked the Savior, “Lord, will there only be a few people saved” to which the Messiah answered “Strive to enter at the Narrow Gate, for many I tell you will seek to enter and will not be able to" (Luke 13:23-24).... 

"Many will say to Me on that day, ' Lord, Lord,...and then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me you who practice LAWLESSNESS" (Matt 7:22-23)  - read more

 New Videos

 Newly added videos that I believe will change the way you think about the Bible.

 Newest video:  The Trinity doesn't exist - Absolute Proof

In this recently added video (12.20.2022) I show how "no one, absolutely no one" in the Bible believed in a Trinity or the idea that the Messiah Yahoshua was God Almighty or claiming equality with God Almighty. It's true that on two occasions, possibly 3, John 5:18; 8:58; 10:30, he was accused of claiming equality with God, but as you'll see in the video that at his trial NO ONE ever brought such a charge against him. They accused Yahoshua the Messiah of "Trusting in God" not being God.

 

Rom 6:14 ".... you are not under law but under grace.

The apostle Paul tells us in Romans 6:14 that “we ar not under the Law but under grace”. Does not being “under the Law” mean that we are no longer required to obey God's Law? To misunderstand Paul, as the apostle Peter tells us, will cause many people to be destroyed. It would be worthwhile for you to watch the video and make sure that you are not among those that are misunderstanding Paul.

 

Romans 3:20 "no man is justified by the works of the Law"

Why after telling us that "only those who obey the Law will be justified" (Rom 2:13) does Paul say that 'no man will be justified by the deeds of the Law" (Rom 3:20)? Does Paul sound a little confusing in making those statements? According to the apostle Peter it sounds confusing (2 Pet 3:16). Peter tells us that some things Paul said "are hard to understand" (2 Pet 3:16). And this my friend is one of those things Paul said that many Christians misunderstand. BUT, what Peter also tells us is that people who are misunderstanding Paul "WILL BE DESTROYED".  Are you one of those people who are misunderstanding some of the things Paul said?  Find out.

 

Part 1  “The Hard Sayings of Paul” – 2 Pet 3:16

The apostle Peter tells us in 2 Peter 3:15-16 that the apostle Paul said some things that are hard to understand. And Peter goes on to tell us that people will be DESTROYED for their misunderstanding of those 'hard things' that Paul said. What could Paul have said that was of such importance that would cause people to be destroyed for their misunderstanding of it.

One example is Paul telling us in Romans 2:13 that “those who obey the Law will be justified”and in the very next chapter he says that “no man will be justified by the deeds of the Law” Rom 3:19-20. And latter on in the same chapter, Rom 3:31, Paul tells us that “we establish the Law through faith”

Confusing! Maybe not for you but it was for the apostle Peter.

Learn the answer to these supposedly contradictory statements made by Paul and much more in Part's 1 and 2 of “The Hard Sayings of Paul”.

 

Part 2 “The Hard Sayings of Paul – 2 Pet 3:16

In Part 2 of “the Hard Sayings of Paul” we'll take a look at:

*  Act 21:25 “concerning the gentiles”

*  Why Paul was to offer a “sin Sacrifice” while under a Nazirite Vow, roughly 20 years after the death and resurrection of the Messiah Yahoshua?

*  Why the Messiah had to die for sins, if we'll told that we'll be forgiven if we repent?

*  The meaning of “the righteous shall live by faith

*  What sins we're forgiven on the Day of Atonement?

 

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word and Word was with God and the Word was God"

In John 1:1 we're told that the 'logos' meaning the Word, speaking of Yahoshua the Messiah, was “with God” and that he was the very God that he was with. Is this how the apostle John meant for us to understand his words here?

Again, if you have an honest heart and it's the truth that you are seeking, watch the video and you decide what it is John was telling us.

 

John 10:30 "I and the Father are one"

 In John 10:30 after telling the Jews that “he and His Father are one” the Jews accused the Messiah of blasphemy. What did the Savior mean when he said that He and his Father are one? Was he explaining that he and his Father were part of a 3 – 1 god known as a Trinity? Would you be surprised to learn that 'we' his disciples are to be one “just as he and the Father are one”? (John 17:19:22).

Please view the video. It's very informative. I believe you'll learn things for the Scriptures that you might not have known before.

.

John 10:34 "I said you are gods" 

 1 John 10:34  "I said you are gods". The Messiah Yahoshua when accused of blasphemy by the Jews for saying that he and his Father are one he quoted Psalm 82:6 to them, saying "If He (the heavenly Father Yahuweh) called them gods to whom the word of God came why do you say that I'm blaspheming for saying that I am the Son of God? Who are these 'gods' in Psalm 82:6, for not only does the Almighty Yahuweh call these men gods, he also calls them “His children”. Most ministers don't know the answer to that question.  Watch the video, I believe it will change the way you think about the Bible.

 

Col 2:9 "for in Him all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form" 

 In Colossians 2:9 we're told that "the fullness of Deity/God" dwells in the Messiah Yahoshua.  Does this 'fullness of God' make the Messiah the very God who is said to be dwelling in him? Or does it possibly make the Messiah Yahoshua "equal" to the very God that is in-dwelling him?  Those questions and more are discussed in this video. 

 

 1 John 5:20 "...this is the true God and Eternal Life

The Messiah Yahoshua tells in John 17:3 that His Father is the Only True God and he, Yahoshua is the One that the Only True God sent. In John 20:17 after meeting Mary in the garden after his resurrection, he told Mary to "go to my brethren and say to them that I ascend to my Father and your Father, my God and your God. If the Messiah calls his Father His God and the Only True God then what 'God' is John talking about in 1 John 5:20 when he said "this is the true God and Eternal Life"?

 

The Heavenly Father's Name

Exo 3:15  Elohim, furthermore, said to Moses, "Yahuweh, ....' This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations.

Did you know that the Heavenly Father put His Name in His book, the Bible, over 6,823 times? Why is it than that most people that read the Bible, Jew and Christian alike, never heard of the Almighty's Name? Is it important that you know the heavenly Fathe's Name? You be the judge Click here to read the articles and view the video.

Psa 83:18 That they may know that You alone, whose name is Yahuweh, Are the Most High over all the earth.

Isa 52:6 "Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, 'Here I am.'"

       Mal 3:16 Then those who feared Yahuweh spoke to one another, and Yahuweh gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear Yahuweh and who esteem His name.

       Mat 6:9 "Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

       Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "for this very purpose I raised you up, to demonstrate my power in you and that My Name might be proclaimed throughout the whole earth."

Did you know that the name 'Jesus' doesn't appear in the 1611 KJV Bible, not one single time!

Of course I'm not referring to the King James Bible used today, which is roughly the 25th revision of the original 1611 version. I'm referring to the original 1611 KJV.The name Jesus IS NOT in there one single time. Why? Read on to find the answer.

Are you aware that the letter “J” did not exist in any language on the face of the  earth until the year 1520 A.D, and it did not come into popular use for roughly another 100 years. Consequently when the 1611 KJV was written the letter 'J' did not appear in it, not one single time.. Let me repeat that, “the original 1611 King James Bible does not contain the letter 'J' not even one time. If the letter 'J' didn't exist until the year 1520, and was never used in the 1611 King James Bible, than how could the Messiah's name have been pronounce “Jesus”? The answer is “it wasn't”. The One who died for the sins of Israel was never called by the name 'Jesus', nor did he or anyone else in his day ever hear the name 'Jesus'. Why? Because the name 'Jesus' would not have existed for roughly another 1,500 years. With that being the case then what name was Peter talking about when he said

Act 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 

If the name 'Jesus' did not exist when Peter made this statement then what is the name by which we must be saved? For the answer as to what name it is that we must call on to be saved  click here.

The answer is almost sure to shock you - "click here"

"I said YOU are gods"  John 10:34

Who are these "gods" that the Messiah is referring to?

When the Jews accused the Messiah of claiming to be God he quoted Psalm 82:6 and asked the question "If He, that is the Heavenly Father Yahuweh, called them, that is the judges of Israel, gods then why do you accuse me of blasphemy for saying that I am the Son of God?"

Most Christians are unaware of the fact that along with the judges of Israel being called 'gods' the angels, Moses, and Samuel the prophet are also referred to as 'gods' in the Bible. How is that possible when Yahuweh Himself tells us that "there is no God but Me" (Isaiah 43:10)?   "click here"  to find out the answer to this very important question.

        The Trinity  -  Really?  

(New Video - "Who is God" dtd 3.22.2022)

 

With billions of Christians believing in a Triune god, that is a 3 in 1 god known as the  "Trinity" one would think that the Trinity is talked about throughout the entire Bible, and yet the fact is that such terms as "the Trinity", 'god the Son', 'god the Holy Spirit' or the 1st and 2nd persons of anything, are never mentioned in the Bible, not one single time. Why is that? Click here for the answer.

What 'must' we believe about the Messiah !

Please turn in your Bble to the passage where we're asked to believe that the Messiah Yahoshua is the 'god/man'. 
 Can't  find it?  How about the passage that tells us that the Messiah is the 2nd person of the Triune godhead?  You say that's not there either?  How about the passage that calls Messiah "god the son". No, again that term is never found in the Bible. Surely the word "Trinity" is on every page of the Bible. What's that, the word "Trinity" is never mentioned in the Bible! How is that possible?  The fact is you're not going to find any of those phrases ever mentioned in the Bible and yet such terms are used by a majority of Christianity today.

If such terms as god/man, god the son. or the 2nd person of the Triune godhead or Trinity are never mentioned in the Bible then what exactly are we told to believe about the Messiah Yahoshua? In this article we'll be taking a look at everything the Bible tells us about the Messiah and what it is we MUST believe about Him in order to be saved.  To view the article "click here".

This article is intended for the honest individual who has a sincere desire for the truth of God’s word, the Bible, and not simply belonging to a particular religion.

Please consider this simply fact. In the world today there are literally 1,000’s of Christian denominations in the world today, and yet they all claim to read and believe the same book, the Bible. How can that be? I believe the answer is a fairly simply one, even though they all say they believe ‘every word,’ - they don’t.

This should be a sobering thought for those of us who are basing our ’eternity’ on the truths which God has revealed to us in His Word.

The Messiah said, “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” (John 8:32)

No one has ever been set free by believing a lie.

In this article I’ll list a number of passages, bible teaching, that I’ve discussed with numerous pastors and ministers over the last few decades, and as you’ll see the ‘teaching’ from the bible are very clear and easy to understand these ‘ministers’ refused to accept them. And consequently those that follow these ministers are being mislead.

In the past I’ve often tried to understand how a minister, a man who was suppose to be ‘leading people on the path to salvation’ would reject any ‘truth’ from God’s word when it is shown to him. I’m sure there are far more reasons then I could speculate on, but I believe, that is it is my opinion for I’m not judging any man’s motives, one reason might be, is that when a minister’s livelihood, his financial support: food, shelter, medical care, and so on, depends on those in his congregation, he may be a little hesitant to preach ‘against ‘ a long held tradition of his particular church.

A lot of the bible passages that will be quoted in this article are going to be just such ’truths.’ Truths that if they where accepted by those that profess to believe in God’s Word, all these 1000’s of ‘denominations’ or divisions, would no longer be. They would all be part of the body of the Messiah, Yahoshua, and not 1,000’s of various Christian groups, none of them believing the same thing.

An Offer to any sincere individual or group

As I mentioned earlier what your about to read I’ve discussed with many ministers in the past and I would count it a blessing to discuss, not argue, them again with any individual, bible study group or congregation, publicly or privately.

I believe the reason the angels in heaven rejoice over ‘one’ sinner that repents, is because it doesn’t happen to often. To the ‘ministers’ and all those that consider themselves teachers: would you be willing to forsake all for the Truth of God’s Word? If embracing any of the Truths you’re about to read in this article meant losing your congregation, or your friends and possibly even members of your family () would you be willing put aside any false teaching you’ve preached over the years and embrace that truth? Please consider carefully the words of the Savior in the following passages and allow the Father’s Spirit teach you.

Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Mat 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Mat 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Mat 10:37 He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Mat 10:38 And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.

Mat 10:39 He that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.

(Possibly delete, unless I have space to talk about it)

In John 6:44-45, the Savior gives a two conditions that have to be meet, concerning all those that will come onto him.

He tells us that only those that are being called, or drawn, by the Father can come onto him. And how are we drawn to him?

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Therefore every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes unto me.

Years ago an individual once told me that he knew of a woman that had only one verse in the bible memorized, John 3’:16. And this individual said she “got more people saved with just that one verse.” I asked how is that be possible? I would think that if someone never heard of the Savior in the past and someone were to quote Jon 3:16 my first question would be, “what is it that I have to believe about this person? For how could someone say that they believe in someone and not know who that person is or what it is they said or represent? Well according to the words of the Savior that we’ve just read, that isn’t possible. The Messiah clearly tells us “they shall be all taught of God. Therefore every man that has heard and has learned of the Father comes to the Savior.”

For an individual to ’come to the Savior’ they would have, or should have, first been taught of God. And how would that of happened? Through the reading of the ’only’ scriptures that were available to anyone at the time the Messiah spoke these words, that being the Tanak*, the so-called Old Testament.

What your about to read are 3 things the Savior said that should be believed and accepted by all who say that know him, but the sad truth is that what your about to read isn’t believe by most Christian Churches today.

1) John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Yahshua Messiah, whom thou hast sent.

2) Matthew 5:17-19, Rom 2:11-13

3) Luke 13:22-23 few saved.

Did you notice what the Messiah said about the Heavenly Father? That He is the ‘Only’ true God. How many Christians today believe the words of the Master, that the Father is the only true God. Most churches twist or misunderstand a handful of passages such as Gen 1:26, Is 9:6, John 1:1, Jn 8:58, Jn 10:34, Jn 20:28, and XXXXX.

And completely ignore or deny all that Yahshua Messiah said about himself.

That the Heavenly Father is not only ‘our God’ but also ‘his God.’

(John 20:17; Mk 15:34; Jn 11:21-22; Rev 3:12)

That he wasn’t God but

The ‘Son of God’ (Matt 14:33; Matt 26:63; Matt 27:43, 54; Mk 1:1; Jn 20:31;

(Contrary to what many believe the phrase ‘God the Son’ never appears in Bible.)

The ‘Word of God’ not ‘god the word’

The ‘Lamb of God’ not ‘god the lamb’

The first born of God’s creation (XXXXXXX)

Yahshua came not to do his will but the will of God, His Father.

Act 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

Act 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

Act 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

Act 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

Act 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

Rom 1:4 And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

1Jo 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

1Jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

;1Jo 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

1Jo 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

1Jo 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

2Pe 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Rev 19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Explain the Tanak and that it’s talked about discussed more at length in Part 3 or the Hard sayings of Paul. Maybe type an article up just on it.
