THE DIFFERENCE

  Readers, what is the difference between doctors and preachers? They are the same. They make too much money, but they teach too little. Why do they teach too little? Because they are too busy making money. Many doctors don’t spend enough time teaching their patients, and many churches spend too much time entertaining and collecting offerings, instead of teaching their members the truth and nothing but the truth. And so, as you all can see, there is not much difference between doctors and preachers. What can we do as patients and church members? Find a caring doctor or go to a different church, right now. Teaching patients is not an easy job. I know from my experience. We have to persuade them to do what we want them to do even if that is good for them. Teaching  church members is a much easier job. They have to do nothing to go to heaven. The apostle Paul said, “ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works,...

100 %

Readers, good morning to you all. I hope I find you well and happy to start a new day, or to finish the day after a long day of hard work and ready to go to sleep. I am troubled to see Christians who believe in God Jesus 80% or 90% and believe in the apostle Paul or anyone else 10% or 20%. Why? Because if they are wrong, they’ll go to hell. We must believe in Jesus 100%. We must believe that He is our Savior 100%. We must believe in His teachings 100%. We believe that Jesus is our God 100%. So, why do we need or want to look for other teachers who contradict the teachings of Jesus or His Father like the apostle Paul who says, “ 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.” Ephesians 2:8-9.” If we don’t believe what God says, find another religion. There are different religions that we can choose from, or we can make our own religion. But do not deceive people by using the name of Jesus Chris...

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS MIRROR

Readers, today I want to talk with you about the Ten Commandments or the Torah. I called it the Law of God. This law was initially given by God to His people through His messenger the Prophet Moses. There are a number of Prophets whom God had called other than the Prophet Moses. And I am sure that you know and remember many, if not all of their names. When Jesus came to earth, He also chose His helpers, His twelve disciples, to help Him with His work. All except Judas Iscariot did what they were called to do. As helpers and servants of God the Father and God the Son we expect them to do exactly what they were told to do except Judas Iscariot and Paul of Tarsus. As we all know, they do what they want to do. They were disobedient to God the Father and God the Son. Paul of Tarsus wants us  to follow him, instead of us following Him. That’s why the Catholic Pope changed the Sabbath worship to Sunday worship because they believe that Paul was called to be God’s messenger. The Pope follo...

CAN THE LAW SAVE US?

Th e apostle Paul wrote that the law can’t save us. “ Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin. Wrong! Knowing what is good and what is bad is not a sin. But by the deeds of the law , when we obey the law, we will be justified in His sight. What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "You shall not covet." Romans 3:20,7:7. It is a sin when we disobey the law. Readers, there is no law, none, that can save us. Do we understand this simple logic? Obedience to the law, however, can save us. Traffic law on the streets and highways cannot save us. But obedience to the traffic law can definitely save us. And obedience to the gun laws can save us for sure. What happens to our logic? Do we not know what the word “deeds” mean? If we say we understand, then why do m...

THE THIEF ON THE CROSS

  The apostle Paul wrote 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.” Who inspired Paul to write this text? I believe it was the thief on the cross who inspired him. The thief has faith, no work, but is saved by grace. The apostle James disagreed with Paul. “What [does it] profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works ? Can faith save him?” James 2:14. No, faith alone, without work, cannot save us. Why? Because work is evidence that we have faith. Obedience to work is evidence that we have faith. The story about the thief on the cross is a RARE exception. And Paul was wrong when he used a rare exception to apply to his theory, “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.” I know that the apostle Paul is wrong. The Prophet John in Reve...

THE LAW

  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 on 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 knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23. That’s the law. If we don’t do the will of Jesus’ Father, don’t waste our breath praying. Save our oxygen. He will not listen to us, because Jesus never knew us, lawbreakers. Only Satan will hear us. Jesus wants nothing to do with those who practice lawlessness. And God the Father does not want to have anything to do with lawbreakers either. And neither should you. Stay away from lawbreakers regardless of what color of robes, suits, or hats they wear. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not c...

BE YE PERFECT

  Jesus said, "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48. Can we be perfect? Can we be perfect as God the Father is perfect? Yes, I believe we can if we COPY Him. We can if we know how to copy Him. And this article that I am writing is to share with you my dear readers how we can copy Him. I believe the only way to copy Him is by following His commandments; by obeying Him. Jesus obeys His Father. And we should obey or COPY Jesus’ Father too if we want to be perfect as His Father in heaven is perfect. In Matthew 7:21-23 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 on 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 knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness !'” Re...

CREDIBILITY ISSUES

  The Apostle John in Revelation 20:12-13 wrote about his vision, “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is [the Book] of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works , by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works .” None will be judged by their faith only, none!  The apostle Paul, however, wrote in Ephesians 2:8-9, not from a vision that he he received from God, “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, I want to ask you a question, who is more credible, the apostle John or the apostle Paul? John wrote from what he saw in his vision that he received from God, and I don’t know who gave Paul his idea, salvation by faith and not ...

WHY DO WE HATE THE LAW?

  Readers, have you ever thought about why we hate the law? Why do you hate the law? Why do we hate the Ten Commandments? If you had asked me why many Christians hate the Ten Commandments, my answer to you is that it offends them, or they get offended.  They see their ugly face on the Ten Commandments mirror. I do not hate the Ten Commandments. The law guides me on my way to heaven. No, it doesn’t offend me.  Without the law, I know nothing. Without the law I might elope with somebody’s wife and feel nothing about it, and you might elope with somebody’s husband without guilt either. God has given us the Ten Commandments for a good reason. And here’s why I believe God gave us the Ten Commandments. He wants us to be perfect.  Jesus said in Matthew 5:48, "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Perfection is a lifetime effort, work, or struggle.  We can achieve perfection only if we are obedient to His law. If we have tried our be...
