The Truth

"In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom comes. Your will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven . Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” Matthew 6:9-13. Jesus' disciples asked Jesus how they should pray. And Jesus told them this is how they should pray. But first, when we say, Your will be done on earth as [it is] in heaven , there is an implicit understanding that we know what His will is, or otherwise we would not say it that way. If we don’t know what His will is, what do we do? Start reading the Bible. Why? Because that’s how we can know what His will is. Start reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Read Genesis, Exodus, and the history about Adam and Eve and Lucifer. You want to know why God evicted them. You want to know why they have ...

  I believe every individual on this earth believes that there is a supreme being that creates this earth and everything that is in it. Some call it Allah, Tuhan, God, Yahweh, or also known by other names, which I don’t know all of them. The prophet Muhammad claims that he is the spokesperson for Allah, the prophet Jesus claims that He is the spokesperson for God the Father, or that He is the Son of God, and many Old Testament prophets claim that they represent Yahweh, or are the spokesperson for  Yahweh on earth, such as the prophet Moses and Isaiah, for example. Buddha is a teacher who claimed that he had attained Buddhahood, a state of supreme spiritual realization, to teach and guide others on the path to liberation. Every spiritual leader from Jesus to Muhammad to Buddha has a spiritual role to play to make us a better Christian, a better Muslim, and a better Buddhist person, to liberate us from the evils of the world. How do  they do that? By teaching us ways to a...

This people honors Me with [their] lips , but their heart is far from Me . And in vain they worship Me, teaching [as] doctrines the commandments of men . ' Isaiah 29:13. The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine gives this concise question-and-answer explanation of the history we’ve covered above: “Q: Which is the Sabbath day? “A: Saturday is the Sabbath day. “Q: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? “A: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea, transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday” (Peter Geiermann, 1957, p. 50). History tells us that if we refuse to do the will of God, He will not save us. Even if we are lukewarm , He will vomit us from His mouth. God said, "I know your works , that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth . ” Revelation 3:15-16. Onward Christian soldiers! ...

“Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them." But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. ” Genesis 6:5-8. Readers, do you know why Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord? Because he does the will of God the Father. Do you know why God drowned millions or billions of people during Noah’s time? Because they do not do the will of God, brought to them by His servant Noah, and not because of their faith. They could have faith as big as the biggest mountain on earth, but if they don't do the will of God the Father, God will reject them. Faith can not save anyone, but doing the will of the Father ...

Not too many Christians know the commandments of God. In fact, few Christians know the commandments of God . For example, how many Christians know this commandment of God, "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of the LORD your God. [In it] you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your strang er who [is] within your gates.” Exodus 20:8-10. ? Not many. Do you know why? Because we are too busy collecting offerings and singing. Now, how many Christians know this commandment of men ,  The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine gives this concise question-and-answer explanation of the history we’ve covered above: “Q: Which is the Sabbath day? “A: Saturday is the Sabbath day. “Q: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? “A: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council ...

  God said, "I know your works , that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth . ” Revelation 3:15-16. Readers, why do you think God said that He will vomit us out of His mouth? Why? Because all the work that we do in church is passing the offering plates and singing. Is that what Jesus did every Sabbath in church singing and passing the offering plates? NO , He did not! If He did, I must have missed reading it. Jesus said, "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. "And if your right hand ...

According to the apostle Paul salvation is a free gift. “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. But if we can ask Adam and Eve they would say that salvation is not a gift at all. In a gift situation the title would pass from the giver to the receiver. In salvation, the title never passes to the receiver. The giver retains the title until the receiver dies. In other words, in salvation the giver can always take back the gift that it has already given to the receiver, e.g. Judas Iscariot. This proves that salvation is never a gift! NO , salvation is not a free gift. If it is, once we are saved, we are forever saved. But that is not true. No one is forever saved while on earth, none!  Jesus said, "But he who endures to the end shall be saved” Judas Iscariot does not endure to the end. Only those who are faithful to the end will be saved. In other words, if we...
