The Truth

  “Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us." But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? "And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong." Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." Luke 23:39-43. This is the story about the thief on the cross that Saul of Tarsus referred to in his theory of salvation in Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith , and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God ,   not of works , lest anyone should boast.“ Readers, do you think Jesus would save the thief on the cross who said, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? "And we...

  Readers, today I want to write about fruits or vegetables that we all are already very familiar with, cantaloupe and watermelon. And I want to go straight to the point, no kidding. Can seeds from a cantaloupe produce a watermelon? A very simple question. My answer is NO . Why? The seeds or origin of Christianity come from paganism, sun worshiper, moon worshiper, or anything other than Yahweh, or God.  The seeds of Judaism come from Yahweh, God the Father, Jesus, and the ten commandments. So, if you come from the seeds of a cantaloupe you can never hope to become a watermelon, NEVER , unless Yahweh, God, or Jesus changes your heart. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me in that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never...

  Readers, I am up early this morning to write this article before I forget. You know, it is easy to forget as we get older. We forget even when we are young. For example, most Christians say that they love Jesus. Some swear that they love Jesus. OK, I believe you. But, what did Jesus say? He said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments. ” John 14:15. Do we keep His commandments, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” Exodus 20:16. NO. The Jews turned their lights off on Sabbath nights to honor God, while the Christians are having a party. Why is that? Because the roots are very different between Christianity and Judaism. How can different roots produce the same fruit? They cannot. But Saul of Tarsus says Christians can as long as we have faith. Work is not necessary. And pastors and preachers are jumping up and down. They finally discovered an easy way to make money, faith and no work. What did Jesus say? "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,...

    Botanists say that the roots of all plants are not the same. For example, the roots of a cassava plant are not the same as the roots of potatoes. In other words, the roots of a cassava plant cannot give rise to any other plant other than a cassava. It cannot produce a potato. The roots of Judaism go all the way back to Adam and Eve and the Ten Commandments from God, or Jesus’ Father. The roots of Judaism are the Ten Commandments, the will of Jesus Father. If we don’t do the will of Jesus’ Father, we have no right to claim that we are the children of God. Why? Because we don’t come from the same root, Judaism. The roots of Christianity come from paganism, the sun or moon worshiper. They do not keep God’s ten commandments. They keep whatever they want to keep. JESUS SAID, 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we n...

  Jesus said, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.“ John 3:16. Who is the world? The world is he who loves Him and keeps His commandments. Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments .“ John 14:15. Jesus’ Father (Yahweh) said, "You shall have no other gods before Me. "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness [of anything] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth [generations] of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands , to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” Exodus 20: 4-6. We say that we “ love ” Him. Do we keep His commandments? No, we keep the commandments of the church. The chu...

  I consider myself very lucky that my father was a Jesus believer. When he suddenly disappeared during the Indonesian revolution against the Dutch occupation, I was about three or four years old. I don’t remember much about him except the hundreds of picture slides that he left behind that show the second coming of Jesus Christ. I asked my mother why my dad kept so many slides? My mom told me that my dad had a home business employing a couple dozen employees. He showed the slides to his employees after they were done with their work. Many of his employees converted and became faithful Christians. My wife was not so lucky. Her father was a devil worshiper. She told me about her experience living with her dad, a devil worshiper. I am glad that my father was a Christian and not a devil worshipper. My problem with being a Christian is not small. It is not easy being a Christian. But despite my failures He always raises me back up. I am convinced that God wants me to continue with the ...
