BACK TO THE BASICS!
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)
The first thing that comes to mind when the average Christian hears back to the basics is the cross. We immediately think salvation, but that is not the beginning. Week after week in Churches all over the world, people keep going back to the alter to get saved. One of the greatest weapons the enemy has used against us is doubt in who we really are. If you have accepted Christ a…

OH NO...YOU HAVE ONE SIN YOU FORGOT TO PRAY FOR
Can you enter Heaven,
if you do not pray for forgiveness of your sins?
Can you enter Heaven
if you failed to pray for one single sin?
Have you ever been told:
You do the best you can...
and Jesus picks up the slack?
Do you think,
that you would go to heaven....
if you happened to die on a very "lucky day"
when your faith was very strong?
OR
Do you think, that you would go to hell....
if you happened to die
on a very "unlucky day"
when your…

When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked. "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." And Elisha prayed, "O Lord, open his eyes so he may see." Then the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (2 Kings 6:15-17 NIV)…

YOUR GOD ... or ... MY GOD ... YOU DECIDE
ARE YOU TOO...
WORSHIPING A GOD OF FAILURE...
A God
Who always has to go from plan A to plan B
A God
Who is running a "disaster control operation" from heaven
A God
Who supposedly created creatures
HE CANNOT CONTROL
Creatures that will wreck His original plan
The foolish and unscriptural teaching
is that God created a PERFECT archangel
who then SINNED AND REBELLED AGAINST God
But ... BUT,
here is the evil in this teaching:
God did not INTEND,

YOUR GOD ... or ... MY GOD ... YOU DECIDE (Part 2)
I believed in the Trinity ...and then I looked for myself
The Trinity as defined by
Hastings Dictionary of the Bible Page 1015:
The Christian doctrine of God
as existing in three Persons and one Substance
is not demonstrable by logic or scriptual proof
Regardless, those that believe in and teach the Trinity
believe that it is, "...a necessary "hypothesis"
that there are three persons to the Godhead:
God the Father
The Holy Ghost (Spirit)

One of the churches I have worked with in the past had spent nearly four years struggling with gaining consensus concerning a project to expand their facilities to meet their burgeoning congregation. They had done both architectural design and capital development. However, because of the lack of unity they were turned away from going forward with any of their plans. At the time I became involved with the church they had also experienced two pastoral leadership changes and a third had come to the…

Why the Gospel really is the "GOOD NEWS" for ALL mankind
Christ spoke ONLY in parables
when talking with the masses,
Matt 13:34
"ALL these things spake Jesus unto the multitude
in PARABLES; and without a parable spake He NOT unto them"
PARABLES ARE SPIRITUAL
A parable is a story
that contains in figurative or symbolic language
a higher moral or spiritual truth
Parables are HIGHER, SPIRITUAL,
GLORIOUS teachings of ETERNAL things
Literally
they are of little consequence;
Spiritually

Ministry Mindset
MIN'ISTRY, n. The office, duties or functions of a subordinate agent of any kind.
MIN'ISTER, n. [L.]
1. Properly, a chief servant; hence, an agent appointed to transact or manage business under the authority of another; in which sense, it is a word of very extensive application.

God is not...
operating a "disaster control center"
from his throne of the universe
He is not trying to "pick up the pieces"
of a totally unexpected tragedy
that he never saw coming
He is not trying to "figure out" a way
to somehow to get things back
to being as good as they once were
He is not
trying to "figure out" a way to out smart Satan-
and he is not "falling behind" numerically
as far as how many will be saved
and how many will be lost
God has a plan,
and he is working out that plan…

The FIREMAN...
I teach that Yahushuah (Jesus)
is the Saviour of the world-
and that he can not be
SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD-
and not
SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD
I get replies that Christ
can be the Saviour of the world,
and yet
NOT SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD
They give me this type of proof:
When a fireman goes into a burning building to save trapped people,
what happens if these trapped people refuse to be saved?
Is the fireman not still a fireman
simply because some do not wish to be saved?
Here we see…

THE SACRED NAMES
The Sacred Names were thought to be to Sacred
to be uttered and therefore they were removed
from the Scriptures over 6,800 times and
replaced with Lord or God
and so
Masses of Christians, have been pursuing
for many years, a personal relationship
with their Lord and Saviour
and yet, after all this time;
They, have never even known his real name!!

T or F...GOD created "EVIL" and the "WASTER" to destroy?
Elohim is:
Sovereign-
He is the supreme authority in total control of all things.
Omnipresent-
He is present everywhere always.
Omnipotent-
His power is unlimited;
He can do whatever he wills,
whenever he wills; and his will...will be done always.
Omniscient-
He knows all things
which can be known; past present and future.
Elohim is:
the supreme authority who is ever present
has unlimited power and knows all things.

LIES about HELL...
and the real truth about the Lake of Fire
The wages of sin is death
not eternal life in hell:
IF YOU DIE...You don't BURN forever
If you BURN forever...YOU DON'T DIE
From the Old Testament Hebrew Bible;
Sheol was translated to hell
(a chamber.... cave, tomb, or grave)
When the Hebrew Bible was translated to Greek
Sheol then became hades
(unseen underworld for the dead)
The concept of torment
was not associated with Sheol
by any of the old testament prophets
As Christian…

Easter is a day that is honored

the resurrection of Jesus Christ

a church service at sunrise,
a feast which includes an "Easter Ham",
decorated eggs and stories about rabbits

HOW HARD IS IT GETTING SAVED?
According to the sinners prayer
a person can be saved in about 15 seconds
by saying some specially arranged words
Not so!
Not true!!
Getting Saved is the hardest most difficult thing
anyone will ever have to go through in their entire lifetime
Being saved is a lifetime process!!
Just as we are in a lifetime process
of being made into the image of God-
Both are on-going processes!!
Many times people take
individual texts out of the Bible to back this error
