This is in response to comments from Christians, apparently seeking to align themselves with me as a Jew, with phrases like “our God”, or calling me “brother”. Now I have no problem with love and respect, and I return the same love and respect. And from other Christians I get the idea that they believe I hate Christians when they learn I do not like Christianity. Maybe my words are distasteful to those not wishing to hear it, to those who would rather stay comfortable in the majority. I know how un-welcomed an idea it is to re-think most of what you believed is the truth for a lifetime.
But I love Christians enough to tell the truth of impending destruction. I love you enough to risk your rejection, and whatever other abuse you may deem appropriate. Now tell me this isn’t true love! Love is not always a warm fussy feeling. Love takes the action necessary for the means of securing the best for you. I love you enough to tell you that you are not my brethren. I love you enough to tell you I do not worship your generic God, and I don’t follow your Greek Jesus. I love you enough to tell you I am not a “wide-roader”. I don’t believe in a wide road, for both Jews and Christians. In the Revelation there are two women; the apostate whore woman, and the bride, no third woman. Christians are identified in chapter seventeen as Babylon. Christians are not Philadelphia as they like to think. The woman in bible prophecy is a representation of an assembly of believers or a church. The New Jerusalem that ascends down from the heavens in the Revelation 21 has twelve gates, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. There are no gates for Catholics, Baptists, or Pentecostals, or any other religion of man. Gentiles must join Israel, the bride, to be at the wedding ceremony. The word Gentile means “without covenant”. The covenant is the Torah given by YHWH through Moses. That work is completed and no man may add to it or take away from it. Christianity takes away from the Ten Commandments, and adds the Pauline commandments. The apostle Paul’s letters have been twisted long ago by the Romans who first translated the New Testament writings to the Greek language. Anyone that comes after to change it in any way is preaching a “different gospel” as Paul said. Yahshua said he came to agree with the Torah, and Paul was sent for the same purpose, to take it to the lost sheep of the house of Israel spread to the gentile nations.
Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience [hupomonē - cheerful, consistent endurance] of the saints [hagios -righteous]: here are they that keep the commandments [Torah] of YHWH, and the faith [pistis - conviction] of Yahshua.
Matthew 15:24 But he [Yahshua] answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 10 5 These twelve Yahshua sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil[pleroo – agree with].
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
2Peter 3 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
And being stedfast does not mean to be stiff necked against the truth. It means to endure in the original gospel truth; not necessarily the gospel of your fathers, but the original gospel from THE Father originator and creator of all. People tend to view everything from their own perspective, but the correct perspective is to listen to the perspective of the creator, YHWH.
If I didn't love Christians, I'd just keep quiet and let you stay in Babylon. It is your choice how to take this message. You can take offense, but you are offered deliverance.I am not going to stamp your ticket to hell by endorsing your religion. Your blood would be on my hands. If I love YHWH, I am commanded to love you, so love you I intend to do with every breath I have.
1 John 4:21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth YHWH love his brother also.
Ezekiel 3 18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
The Alternative
I am here to tell you that I lived the life you are living. I tried to live the Christian life. I found it very oppressive. At my wits end, I went to the creator, and asked Him to make my decisions for me, and lead me into truth and understanding, because I realized I had no idea. I wanted answers that Christianity refused to deliver. I chased after every preacher I could find that I thought might help me find the answers. I found that the pastors that claimed to have all the answers were the ones who refused to let me in on what they supposedly had. Their hearts were turned away from me. I came to realize that these felt as though they were a cut above; that they had something because of their position, calling as pastor, that I could not attain as a laymen in the body. But I remembered the words of Paul saying all are created equal, and I remembered the words of Yahshua saying seek and yea shall find.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Galations 2:6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
And I have tried the live of no god at all. Rejecting the god of the church of my young years because of the association of religion with god the creator. Not knowing what else to do, I sought to forget about it altogether. And even though it did have it’s occasional high moments, they were few and far between, and the payment for them was sometimes a high cost. I found the life of sin very disturbing. I felt all alone, and very vulnerable to a dark force all the time, ever seeking satisfaction that seemed to be just out of reach. Even though I tried to put out an aura of strength and independence, I was actually at the whim of every woman that blew through my life, along with other friends, and the law. I never knew what was going to happen next. A few years of this and I craved a simpler life all these ups and downs, highs, and lows. I knew I needed deliverance from this that I could not attain on my own.
I am here to tell you that the life I live now is much more satisfying than either of the other two alternatives I have endured. And no, I am not looking for yet another false religion like new age or anything else. I have found my father, my creator, the only Elohim (god) that truly loves me, and wants me for who I am, who he created me to be. All the other gods only want for your destruction, to use you and destroy you. Come to Him. Come to your creator, your father, the one that gave you breath, and offers peace and life eternal with him.
Surprisingly, I have found adherence to the Torah very liberating. It liberates me from the oppression caused by sin. It liberates me from oppression of trying to please men in a church denomination. It liberates me from all the foolish traditions of society. Even the traditions I thought were fun or satisfying, were actually a burden. All things given up are replaced. Yah does not ask you to give up anything good. But don’t think I am trying to present a soft gospel that is all about your personal pleasure. If you are not willing to give up your own life and personal desires, you are not ready for the kingdom of YHWH.
