Wonders Never Cease

Yesterday I spent a very long time with a 25 year old novice who believes he is an expert in ancient languages, in Hebrew, in Greek, in Latin, in ancient manuscripts, in Biblical theology, and especially about the name of God.

I spent more time than I should have knowing his mind was concrete. The Yahweh people, regardless of who they are, make themselves the ones with all the truth. They are so good at perversion they convince themselves among themselves. Well I am not convinced.

I asked this 25 year old Gentile Hebrew scholar to say hotdog in Hebrew and there was silence on the end of the phone. Finally he said he couldn't. Of course I told him he was no Hebrew scholar.

We covered a lot of territory in our long discussion. In every single department of our talk he perverted and turned everything around. I caught him up again and again. But he was not to be corrected. These novices are like that. They lift themselves up in pride and fall into the condemnation of the devil. He said he called to lift up the tetragrammaton and the name of Yahweh. And I told him, well I answered the phone to lift up the name of Jesus higher than anyone on earth. He said something then that kinda took me for a loop:

"I am Apostolic Brother Reckart. I am Oneness. And I believe in the name of Yahweh and the name of Jesus. I believe Yahweh is God. I also believe Jesus is God. Yahweh is the name of the Spirit of God and Jesus is the name of the humanity of God. So there are two names here that are both ok. Yahweh is the highest name of God in the Spirit and Jesus is the highest name of God in humanity."

Well, I came out of the loop quickly, saying Acts 4:12 settles all that mess. There is only one name and that name is Jesus.

Many are being led into law keeping and into the worship of the tetragrammation YHWH god. I have warned the world about this apostasy. All these guess names for YHWH are just that, GUESS NAMES. I will say once again, the name Jehovah was invented by a Catholic monk. And the name Yahweh was likewise invented by a Catholic monk. Even if we allow the tetragrammaton, no one, not even a single Jew can say how these letters are pronounced into a name. This idiot novice tried to bamboozle me by pronouncing the letters "yod-he-va-he" and said this was also the way to say this lost name of God. I of course informed him that was false. He was lying. I told him he would go to hell for his perversions.

He then quoted the scripture about Abraham calling God Elshaddai (God Almighty) and by the name of Jehovah he was not know to them (Exo 6:3).  Now keep in mind Exodus 6:3 was spoken by God to Moses who lived about 400 years after Abraham. And in this verse Moses quoted God here:

"And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them."

God said this not Moses.

From the time of Adam unto the burning bush, God said no one knew him by the name of Jehovah.

How could they if a Catholic monk invented this name in 1225AD?

Jehovah here is certainly an interpolation.

Let me insert right here that Abraham NEVER SAID "Jehovah Jireh."

Moses never said: "Jehovah nissi."

Gideon never said: "Jehovah shalom."

All this Jehovah stuff is false. It is all fake. The name Jehovah does not belong in our Bible. It was not originally written in it anywhere. How can it if the name Jehovah was invented by a Catholic monk in 1225AD?

Quit using Jehovah in worship, songs, praise, and preaching.  It is a Catholic made-up name. It is false. Blot it out of your Bibles. Replace it with ADONAI or LORD or KURIOS. This would be more accurate.
What belongs where Jehovah is now interpolated?

God told Moses he was "EHYEH asher EHYEH" (HYH) translated I AM that I AM.  Now we have no problem saying I AM is a name of God. But convert this back to Hebrew to EHYEH and many begin to scream "your tampering with the Scripture. You're adding to the Word of God." This is silly. I am correcting known errors. The King James Version is NOT "infallible." It is NOT" inerrant." It has mistakes, errors, additions, and interpolations. EHYEH would have been the name of God BEFORE it was translated I AM that I AM. God gave EHYEH to Moses, not I AM that I AM. He told Moses Abraham and the others did not know him by this name. It is such a simple thing to see this Truth.  And it is also a simple thing to see that EHYEH was shortened to YEH and JEH and added to names afterward to signify the God of the burning bush.  Come on people. It is so simple.

Does God know how he appeared to these patriarchs? Does God remember what name they used to call upon him? Did he not say they used "GOD ALMIGHTY" (El-SHADDAI). And he said clearly Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob DID NOT KNOW THE NAME JEHOVAH.  I as well as Brother Harp and others have shown by this information from God that if the name Jehovah or a tetragrammaton appears in the Bible prior to Exodus 6:3 IT IS A FRAUD. It is a backward interpolation by Jews at sometime in history. Where they converted ADONAI (Lord) into the tetragrammation YHWH and then converted this to Lord, then into Jehovah and Yahweh and a thousand other guess names. Now they want us to believe LORD in the OT always means Jehovah or Yahweh. I say, if LORD was in the text BEFORE Exodus 6:3 is was ADONAI and not these other perversions. And the Jews who perverted the Word of God and interpolated the tetragrammation after the time of Moses (at the time of Babylonian captivity), these have made the world drunk on the wine of her fornication. I am not drunk. I refuse to drink from the whore's cup I do not care what rabbi says this or that, or some Catholic or Protestant scholar says this or that. I refuse to be spoon fed their slop and then say it is manna from heaven.

This foolish novice then proceeded to tell me Jehovah was a false name and the correct name there was Yahweh. And Yahweh was the God of the Old Testament. I said that is false. That is a lie. But, go ahead and change Jehovah to Yahweh. And then it reads they did not know God by the name of Yahweh. Then he tried to pull one of those perversions.

"Well, the scholars say Abraham did know the name Yahweh, but he just did not know the full revelation of that name, and this is why God said they did not know him by that name."

Hey everyone, does this kind of perversion make God a liar or what?

I want to tell all of you, if you forsake the name of Jesus and chase after these false guess names of the tetragrammaton, and you go back under law keeping, sabbath keeping, etc. etc., you will all go to hell.

This man then said by my saying this that I had blasphemed against the Holy Ghost. Sorry, I cannot be shamed into worship of the moon god. And I will not be intimidated into worship of a pagan god. Others may fall prey to these shyster novices making themselves into somewhat: but not me.

Listen everyone: Jesus is the name above all names. And this is the name of God for us. Deny it if you want. Cast down the name of Jesus and call it the pig god name if you want. Blaspheme the name on the Cross if you dare. But this man of God will stand up against you.

Acts 2:38 is still the plan of salvation. And it is in the name of Jesus Christ.

Believe it.

Peter said so.
I say so.
Now you say so, and confirm your faith and stand for the name of Jesus.

Cowards not accepted on this vital issue.

Put your name to your faith. I dare you!

No Pre-Tribulation Rapture

The whole theory and scheme for a pre-tribulation rapture was invented around 1830AD. Since that time this theory has been taught and preached around the world. It was begun in Scotland by a 14 year old girl who while sick claimed she had a dream-vision that the church would be raptured before the great tribulation.

This was picked up by a preacher named Edward Irving. He began to spread it throughout Europe. His Church was called the Catholic Apostolic Church. Many people accepted this new private interpretation of prophecy.

You see, prior to this, there was already a doctrine of an any minute rapture. This was based upon the doctrine of many Protestants that the tribulation was in progress with the Catholic church being the great whore and mystery Babylon. They had identified the pope as the antichrist.  So the majority of Protestant Christianity believed the rapture would take place any second when Jesus would return, destroy the Catholic church, and immediately cast the antichrist pope into the lake of fire. There was a growing dissatisfaction with this theory.

This whole doctrine of an imminent rapture was believed all the way back in the time of Martin Luther in 1525AD. Now here it is 305 years later in 1830 and the end of the tribulation has not come.  What happened to the seven year tribulation? It should have been over by 1532AD.  But no, there have been at least 35 pope antichrist and none of them were cast alive into the lake of fire as prophesied in the book of Revelation about the antichrist (see Revelation 19:20):

Clement VII (1523-34); Paul III (1534-49); Julius III (1550-55); Marcellus II (1555); Paul IV (1555-59); Pius IV (1559-65); St. Pius V (1566-72); Gregory XIII (1572-85); Sixtus V (1585-90); Urban VII (1590); Gregory XIV (1590-91); Innocent IX (1591); Clement VIII (1592-1605); Leo XI (1605); Paul V (1605-21); Gregory XV (1621-23); Urban VIII (1623-44); Innocent X (1644-55); Aexander VII (1655-67); Clement IX (1667-69); Clement X (1670-76); Blessed Innocent XI (1676-89); Alexander VIII (1689-91); Innocent XII (1691-1700); Clement XI (1700-21); Innocent XIII (1721-24); Benedict XIII (1724-30); Clement XII (1730-40); Benedict XIV (1740-58); Clement XIII (1758-69); Clement XIV (1769-74); Pius VI (1775-99); Pius VII (1800-23); Leo XII (1823-29); Pius VIII (1829-30).

What is going on here? None of these were the antichrist although hundreds of preachers kept telling people for 305 years to expect the rapture at any second. They believed the rapture would take place at the end of the tribulation and with the pope identified as the antichrist causing all the persecutions and deaths: the end was soon to come.

At some point, people got tired of all the lies. They wanted something fresh about prophecy. They hungered for an interpretation they believed would be the truth. And one thing stuck out like a sore thumb. If the Catholic church was the great whore and mystery Babylon, and the pope was the antichrist, how come the rapture had been delayed over 300 years?

Into this questionable religious atmosphere, little 14 year old Margaret McDonald was caught up. Around her swirled conversations about prophecy, the antichrist, and the great whore of mystery Babylon. It is not known how and by whom the ideas came that if the Catholic church was not the great whore and mystery Babylon; and if over 35 past popes were not the antichrist; then the tribulation had not begun yet. It was decided by some unknown preachers that the great tribulation WAS STILL FUTURE and had not begun.

The theory of an any second rapture was then determined to be before the great tribulation started. Before a future great whore was manifested, and before the future antichrist was made known.

This led to the dream-vision of Margaret McDonald wherein she believed she saw the church raptured BEFORE the time of great trouble. Edward Irving and others reinterpreted prophecy and then invented the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine. What is strange with this whole new schemed theory was that they still taught the Catholic church was the great whore of mystery Babylon and that the future antichrist would still be the pope. As all of you can see, all they really did was change the time of the rapture from being a post-tribulation rapture to a pre-tribulation rapture.

All of this was then tied to a new theory to back it all up. It was the trinity doctrine that would come to its rescue. And infusing the trinity doctrine into the new pre-tribulation rapture doctrine, it would attract all trinitarians to accept it. It did not deny the trinity as was being done by many different groups. It would be explained in dispensational time sequences. So they divided up man's time on earth into these dispensations and used Biblical markers to create the different time slots. They created seven of them. In five of them (Innocence, Conscience, Human Government, Promise, and the Law) God the Father was at work in the world all alone. The other two Gods in the trinity just sat on their heavenly thrones and watched. As the story goes, in each of the five, one after another, God the Father failed to get a single dispensation of people to live right. Five times he failed. Five times he created a different plan of salvation and they all failed. And each time God the Father failed he ended the dispensation, called it to a halt, and then judged all who lived in that time slot. After this was all done, he then started all over again with a new dispensation and a new plan of salvation.

This new theory scheme of dispensations sounded so real. And the stories to back them up were taken right out of the Bible, or so it was believed. But did God the Father really fail five times in the past? Did he stop each dispensation, have a judgment, and then send all those to hell who did not pass and gave eternal salvation to all those who passed? Did God the Father start five and all FAILED? And what is a shame in the last failure is that it was with Israel as a nation.

This dispensation called "The Law" would end in God the Father divorcing his wife Israel and sending the people naked to Babylon. Then there would be a return which seemed to end in failure. Finally, the last prophet Malachi arrived with God the Father trying one last time to convert the Jews. But he failed again to achieve his goal. So there followed a dark age of 400 years where there will be no prophet, no light, no hope, no revival, no return to God, national apostasy, spiritual witchcraft would reign, mysticism would be set up in Jerusalem, and both the priesthood and the nation would lapse back into an ungodly and unholy people. For the fifth time God the Father had failed. He would end this dispensation also. He would bring judgment against Israel as he had done all prior dispensations of people. What now? Five times a failure?

According to the pre-tribulation dispensation doctrine, God the Father devised yet another plan. Another dispensation: the sixth one. As Clarence Larkin drew the picture: God the Father would slip in a dispensation between two mountain tops of prophecy. It would be called the "Gentile Church Age" or the dispensation of "Grace," by the new pre-tribulational rapture preachers. This new dispensation would not be under the control of the first person in the trinity, but under the control of the second person in the trinity. The second person would come to earth with plan "A" and try to reach out to the wife of God the Father and restore them, offering to them the Kingdom of God if they would just quit being evil and repent. But God the Son could not get enough Jews to accept the Kingdom of God so this was also a failure. Failing to attract enough Jews to come into the Kingdom of God, the sixth plan had to be revised. The Kingdom would be delayed and later become the seventh and last dispensation. With the "A" plan now delayed, God the Son could turn to plan "B" and would establish the Gentile Church as the new dispensation. It would be the Church and not the plan "A" Kingdom. So the Church and the Kingdom had to be separated. The Gentile Church would be separate from Israel because everyone was taught God does not deal with Jews and Gentiles equally or at the same time. This falsehood helps the unlearned to accept all the lies. And this Gentile Church would become the future bride of God the Son, the bride of Christ, the wife of the second God of the trinity. So now dispensationalism has two Gods and two wives. The Holy Spirit is a monk. He will never get a wife from the earth, they are all gone (1 Jewish and 1 Gentile). He will instead act as a eunuch on behalf of God the Father and God the Son. Right now, in the dispensation of Grace, the Holy Spirit as a God-Monk is helping the Son of God gather souls into the Church.

Ok, there you have it in a nutshell. Of course most trinitarian dispensationalist will not tell it like I have, because they do not want anyone to figure out that the pre-tribulation doctine is now a trinitarian based doctrine. The majority of Trinitarians love this new theory. It gives them a reason to reject the Oneness doctrine. If they accepted the Oneness doctrine they would have to deny there are two persons in the trinity one trying to get his wife to the new earth while the other God tries to get his wife to the new Jerusalem.  Yes, you read that right. They teach God the Father will separate the Jews in eternity from the Gentile Church because this is the non-Jewish bride of God the Son.

These pre-tribers claim the Church will not have to suffer for the name of Jesus. In fact, in America the pre-trib rapture seekers claim they deserve a quick snatch rapture if any danger of persecution arises. I have not met a single pre-tribulational believer who confessed they believe the Church will suffer persecution and some members put to death. In America, our Christians are mostly blind to what other Christians are suffering around the world. They do not see the persecution, the sufferings, or the deaths, as being something equal to what will happen in the coming great tribulation. They want an escape. No, they demand an escape. Tell them, they will not escape and there is no pre-tribulation rapture and they will hate you. They will call you bad names. They will say you are a cult. They will slander your name. They will jump up and down on the pulpit and scream they will not be here when the antichrist comes. And they will call all who believe in the post-tribulation rapture false and following false prophets.

What is missing in all this hate now over the time of the rapture, is the simple fact Jesus already told us he was not coming until after the tribulation of those days. Pre-tribers claim there are two times Jesus will return: the first is the coming "for" his saints, and the second is his coming "with" his saints. This is all made up lies. Jesus is NEVER coming and bring with him raptured saints who have been in heaven seven years. The one verse that mentions saints coming with Jesus is falsely interpreted (Jude 1:14).  Saints here is the Greek "holy ones" and refers to the angels. These "holy ones" are not raptured people who have been in heaven seven years. When you read all the "coming" verses about Jesus, he comes with angels, and these are the holy ones.  The whole theory of a two-phase coming of Jesus and multiple resurrections is all a joke.

We need to toss out the whole pre-tribulation rapture doctrine. The whole theory of seven dispensations is false. Consider this: these scheme makers have dispensation #6 as the dispensation of "Grace". And after it there is the dispensation of the Millennial. What do we have in dispensation #6? We have two things, the Church and then the tribulation time, all in the same dispensation. How can this be? When they say the Church is solely for God the Son and his bride wife, whereas according to the dispensational scheme, the tribulation is for God the Father to get back his wife Israel. Here we have the Church saved during the time of Grace and also Israel saved by God the Father in the same dispensation of Grace. But then, they claim the dispensation of Grace is for God the Son to get his wife and has nothing to do with the great tribulation time period. They say the dispensation of grace ends with the pre-tribulation rapture. Ok, so what is the alleged 7 years of tribulation. They have invented a solution. This seven years is Daniel's 70th week. This means there was one week of the law that was not nailed to the Cross. This means God the Father can re-activate this one week of the law not nailed to the Cross, turn back again to animal blood and sacrifices, turn back again to a rebuilt temple, and turn back again to a Pharisee priesthood. Can all of this be true? It is a giant fairy tale.

Let me say to everyone: the schemes to have a pre-tribulation rapture is filled with lie after lie after lie. It is filled with perversion of the Scriptures. It contains so much falsehood, that to teach it demands a person accept preaching lies. There is no way this scheme could have been Holy Spirit revealed to Apostolic people. We Oneness people have no right and no obligation to teach the trinitarian doctrine of a pre-tribulational rapture. Any Oneness preacher who preaches the lies of the pre-tribulation rapture and refuses to correct himself and preach the Truth will not be saved. If we know to do good and do it not, it is sin. And the sin for teaching false doctrine will not go unpunished.

There is no pre-tribulation rapture.

The rapture takes place just as Jesus gave it in Matthew 24:29, "After the tribulation of those days."

Believe it. Do not believe anything else.

Este bautismo no es para escapar de la tribulación. Esto es para escapar del infierno

Saludos a mi hermano:

Gracias por el correo electrónico. El bautismo en el nombre de JesuChristo es el verdadero bautismo. Este bautismo no es para escapar de la tribulación. Esto es para escapar del infierno. Por favor, mi hermano, muchos tratan de hacer el bautismo para escapar de la tribulación, pero los apóstoles y primeros cristianos no escapó a la tribulación a causa de su bautismo. Muchos sufrieron. Muchos fueron asesinados. Muchos fueron perseguidos. Ocultar muchas de las montañas y cuevas. Ellos ya han sufrido tribulaciones de muchos anticristos. ¿Por qué tenemos que son de la misma Iglesia que tenemos que escapar? La doctrina rapto pre-tribulación venía de los trinitarios. Esta doctrina no ha venido de la Iglesia Apostólica. Se trata de una doctrina trinitaria. Por favor, estudie más sobre esta doctrina. Porque Jesús nos dijo en Mateo 24:29 cuando él se acerca a la gran voz de la trompeta. No hay dos venidas con el sonido de la gran trompeta. Si usted acepta Mateo 28:19 como trinidad, entonces también hay que ver el rapto pre-tribulación es de los trinitarios. También creen que todos los que son bautizados en la trinidad se escapará de la tribulación por rapto. Ellos creen que es el rapto de Jesús que viene por su novia. A continuación, se enseña que Dios el Padre ahora se puede volver atrás para salvar a Israel, mientras que Jesu Dios está en los cielos con su novia en las bodas. Esto hace que existan dos dioses. Y enseñan a la tercera Dios le ayudará a Jesu y el Padre. Así que ahora el tercer dios es ayudar a Jesu recuperar a su mujer listo para su rapto antes de la tribulación. Después de esto el tercer dios puede ayudar al padre de volver a Israel, su esposa. Todo esto es doctrina de la trinidad. Por favor, estudiar un poco más. Sé que la mayoría de los pastores son la trinidad en la doctrina del rapto, pero se supone que debemos ser a Jesús solo. Y después de la tribulación se vino Jesús para su Iglesia.
 
Jesús te bendiga más y más,

Time of the resurrection

It never amazes me the cunning craftiness of men and women about the resurrection of Jesus. Why can such a simple event as explained and written about by the Apostles be so misunderstood?  Why must men and women mess with the sacred record? What shocks me more, are the thousands who are so ignorant of the Word of God that they believe these deceivers. I cannot think of any reason these people are ignorant except that they have never had a real Man of God in their life who taught the Word of God properly. The majority of people have been sermonized to death. I mean this literally. They have been sermonized to the degree they are institutional religious minded handicaps. They just cannot think. In fact many do not want to think. They want to exist in an environment where Truth has no value and doctrine is bondage. They never develop a real God mind. So, they are easy prey for deceivers. But people well grounded, rooted, settled, and in the Truth: these cannot be shaken or deceived by the cunning craftiness of men and women.

Some years back I received an email from a so-called Apostolic prophet. He informed me I was teaching a false doctrine by claiming Jesus was resurrected on Sunday morning. His first argument was against the day Sunday. He tried to set me up against a Sunday (first day) resurrection with his sabbath doctrines. How the Catholic changed the sabbath to sunday. And how sunday was a pagan day. How any church on sunday was worshipping the sun god. He used the usual Seventh Day Adventist quotes. I guess he believed he could convert me to sabbath keeping while correcting my doctrine on a Sunday morning resurrection. Well, he was wrong on that attempt. I am an Apostle Paul follower when it comes to doctrine for Gentile Churches.

His second approach was to quote the statement of Jesus that as Jonah was in the whales belly three days and three nights so would the son of man be in the heart of the earth. He took this and tried to convert me to the doctrine of Herbert W. Armstrong's 72 hour resurrection. In other words, Jesus would not be resurrected within the 72 hours but after. So Jesus had to be resurrected on the fourth day. I mean even a rocket scientist knows 72 hours is three days, three 12 hour nights and three 12 hour days. It works like this:

24 + 24 + 24 = 72

Of course I knew he was false right off the bat. There is not a single scripture in the New Testament where Jesus arose from the grave on the fourth day.

His calculations based upon the 72 hours went like this:

"In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre" (Mat 28:1). He said they came to the tomb after the setting of the sun. He took from this that Jesus was resurrected in split seconds after sundown of the sabbath. Which he said means he was resurrected very early on sunday. By early he said it meant the beginning of the day, and since sunday began at sundown, then Jesus was resurrected after sundown saturday. Once he believed he had explained his "day" meant "between the evenings" and not the daylight cycle, he proceeded then to announce the day of the week Jesus was crucified.

He worked backwards:

Resurrection after the sabbath sundown
Sabbath day = 3rd day
Sabbath night = 3rd night
Friday day = 2nd day
Friday night = 2nd night
Thursday day = 1st day
Thursday night = 1st night

Jesus was therefore crucified on wednesday and buried at sundown which began thursday.

He established by this cunning craftiness that the Passover Jesus observed was then on wednesday evening (which began he said at sundown of tuesday).

He then proceeded to cite the passages of the women coming to the tomb at sundown after the sabbath was over.  It says they rested the sabbath, prepared spices, and then went to the tomb. He claimed they went to the tomb at sundown, actually after sundown since they could not travel on the sabbath. So they arrived at the tomb while it was dark.

There he had it. All neat and tidy. And now, since I had all his truth before me, wouldn't I want to change to sabbath keeping? Wouldn't I want to receive his doctrine? After all, he had proven Jesus was not resurrected on sunday morning. Well, I was taught very well in the Word of God about the resurrection of Jesus. His deceptions did not deceive me. And I certainly was not going to leave Jesus my sabbath and go back to the types and shadows of observing a day. I was not about to be suckered into law keeping via taking up the sabbath day doctrine. I already knew there is not a single person in the world who keeps the sabbath law. NOT ONE!

Ok, let's examine some words here in the resurrection account by the Apostles. Now I know there are novices out there who think the value of words is stupid. They believe that their doctrine should reign over any value of words. Like the "trinity" doctrine should reign over words like "me, my, mine" which God used to speak of himself. But words are important. The wise disciple said to Jesus: "thou has the words of eternal life." What man in his right mind would say words do not matter, do not mean anything, and if we learn the truth and value of words this may destroy our doctrine? What nonsense is this babbler speaking? Words are the vehicles of Truth. And we should speak only the Truth. If we do not know, then of course we cannot say something is the Truth. But when it comes to the Apostle's Doctrine, which we believe is a series of sacred statements of spiritual fact, we refuse to say the words to identify them are of no value.

Here we go:

Matt 28:1 "dawn" to grow light (Strong's # 2020).
Matt 28:1 "first day of the week:" while at first glance we may think day here refers to a 24 hour cycle, this is not the point here. "First day" means the first daylight portion of the first day. Since the sunday 24 hour day cycle began at sundown saturday, the first portion of the 24 hour cycle was night. On sunday morning at daybreak the first daylight portion of the first 24 hour cycle of a new week began. It is here we must place a value on the word "dawn." No where in the Scriptures does dawn mean the beginning of a day at sundown. We know by simple observation that at sundown night begins and there is no dawn. We also know that the resurrection took place on a daylight portion of the first 24 hour cycle of the week. There must be a great revelation here for us. If the resurrection of Jesus was on the first daylight portion of the beginning of a new week, a new time sequence, a new counting cycle: does this not speak to our own salvation? How that when we are raised with Christ (Rom 6:4) we begin a new life? For us a new time sequence begins? There is now a new counting cycle with old things passed away? And when we are baptized in Jesus Christ name a new week begins in our life. A week is like a chapter of the year. That is how I view it. And for us, after our resurrection baptism there is a new chapter of time?  I see nothing in the words "dawn" and "first day of the week" that would convince me the resurrection occurred at night and not very early in the morning.

Let's continue:

He said they came to the tomb "after" the setting of the sun. Does the sacred history bear this out?

"And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun" (Mark 16:2).

"Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them" (Luke 24:1).

"Very early" cannot mean sundown.
"In the morning" cannot mean sundown.
"First day of the week" cannot mean a 24 hour cycle but the first daylight cycle of a new week.
"Rising of the sun" cannot mean the sun rose after sundown and there was no night.

I could spend more time on this clever foolishness by this and other deceivers, but those who love the Truth do not need any more to convince them a sunday morning resurrection is accurate. Those who are of an otherwise opinion, well, let them perish in their gainsaying. They deserve it for their cunning crafty way of not rightly dividing the Word of Truth.

If men want to go to hell perverting the Word of God and its meaning, that is their choice. I will not follow them and I will not give them ANY RESPECT. My honor and respect is reserved for men who labor in the true doctrine and Word.

Jesus was resurrected on sunday morning, the 3rd day, just as he himself said in Luke 24:46. And by third day we mean the 3rd daylight cycle of the 3rd day. If anyone should know the day of the resurrection it would be Jesus. And he said the third day. Otherwise, he would have had to say the fourth night.

Jesus bless all you people who love the Truth.

Preaching the Truth about the resurrection is still a very important part of our Apostolic doctrine.

Fool

Fool: ancient name of an atheist.
Fool: one ancient Hebrew word is: "eviyl" ev-eel see Strongs #191

Is this why the devil is a fool?

Could all those who do evil be a fool?

Is it when a person is a fool (doing evil), they act on their own doing their own will and not the will of God? When we evict God from our will, is this how we become a fool? And if we discount God as having no influence or power over us, isn't this in effect the same thing as being an atheist?

Strange reversal of application: now it is common for those who believe in following God to be called a fool. Isn't this the same as making good evil, and setting evil for good?  Such as if I believe in God's way I am a fool to many, but if I do not follow God's way I am not a fool but very wise.

I have considered why many will not live God's way. The root of it all is rebellion. The effect of rebellion is to reject God's way for a way of man's own choosing. Those who are evil have made that choice because their rebellion rejected choosing the way of God. So then, what is the sum of this matter? It is that choice is the free agency of all. And if a person by this freedom refuses to live according to the laws of God, they will break them on purpose to show God he does not matter in their life.  And when God is shoved aside and out of a person's mind and life: a fool is born.

I am sure we have all been foolish at some time in our lives. We have set God to the side and gone our own way. But we recovered. We looked into the mirror and did not like what we had become. We realized our works of sin did not do us any favors. We felt that prick of shame and we shook our head in disbelief of the mess we had become. Somewhere out of the past, in our mind, we remember God. We pray: "God please help me." While we cannot explain it, there is a certain "fear" that seems to haunt us that we cannot keep rejecting God. There must be a day of saying yes. Will this be that day?

Having been foolish and being a fool is in many cases quite different. Foolish people many times recover themselves before they become an unrepentant fool. When a person is so stubborn, so self-stuck on their evil life, and they choose to forever reject God and feel no shame or repentant: that person is an eternal fool. And it is for these kinds of people, who like the devil, make themselves eternal haters of God. This is the folly of all who refuse to acknowledge their foolishness. And it is right here, the Bible teaches us that men's hearts are hardened. And when this happens, God has chosen he does not want them. And when God chooses he does not want a person because their heart is hardened, they can never be saved: even if with bitter tears they some day realize what a fool they were. God has no obligation to forgive all fools. After all, the devil was the first fool. And he will never receive forgiveness, not in this life or in the one to come.

I chose to follow the Lord Jesus Christ because in him there is absolutely nothing of rebellion to make him a fool.

After what Jesus did on Calvary for all lost humanity, if anyone rejects him as their Savior, Lord, and King: THEY ARE FOOLS.

From among the Jews we will find the first fools for rejecting Jesus; then from among the Gentile nations will finalize those who are fools. The Lake of Fire will contain all fools. Hell is the eternal place of all fools. The world has been warned.

Jesus has shown us the way of those who are not fools. He invites all. The offer of redemption is given to everyone. Only the fools will say no.

Today the evil ones in the world think we who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ are fools. How could we believe in Jesus our Savior because he died on a Cross? To them, Jesus died a fool. To believe in the death of a fool is to them stupidity. One day I thought upon this. And I realized, Jesus became a fool on the Cross to die in the place of all fools. Yes, he died even for all atheist. And I saw it. He who did not sin, became the one who died in the place of all sinners. He died on my cross. He died on your cross. We who should have died for our own sins: he took our place and died for us. I saw also, that a person does not have to accept this great act of love. They can walk up to the Cross and spit on the ground and say "away with him." I do not believe. And they can go to hell as they go behind the Cross and over the hill into their own eternity, never looking back.

What is so beautiful in all this sadness, is some who did this. Who looked back. Who went back. And who fell upon their knees, crying: "Lord Jesus me merciful to me a sinner. I have played the part of the fool." And they changed directions like Saul the Hasidic Pharisee, and became a Christian.

I know there are fools. There are temporary fools, temporary foolish people, but they are not eternal fools.

It is here I want to encourage all of you who changed from being a fool to being a Christian. Your family, your friends, the world about you: may shun you and think you are weird and crazy to choose the way of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even if you must struggle. Even if you must go through a trial or test of faith. You will overcome.

I close out my blog today with joy for the overcomers. You can sing and shout in the house of God. Let the fools mock. Let those in their eternal rebellion ridicule. Even if they call you a cult, hold your head up high as a real Christian. We will see who the fools are when we all stand before the Lord God Almighty.

Fools to the left, the overcomers to the right.

To those on the left: into the fire;
To those on the right: enter into the joys of the Lord.

No Acts 2:38 Christian is a fool unless they are drifting into rebellion and departing from the ways of God.

So, stay in the Apostolic holiness way, it is the safe way. It is God's ONLY way. No one in this way is a fool!

Fulfilled Questions

Here are two verses of Scripture that many read, most interpret wrong, but there is something important said here by Jesus. See if you get it?

Matthew 5:17-18:

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill."

"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

The question here is: did Jesus fulfill the law in his life time? And if he did, what does this mean to the part "till all be fulfilled."

If heaven and earth could not pass until all was fulfilled, and if Jesus fulfilled it, then can the heaven and earth pass at any time since there is no more a concern about a jot or a tittle.

Did Jesus fulfill the law? And if he did, has it been destroyed or fulfilled?

Many claim I am trying to destroy the law. My response is that I cannot destroy what Jesus fulfilled. There is nothing left to destroy. Am I right?

I have preached the grace of God for years. And by grace I mean that which replaced the law when it was fulfilled.

Romans 6:14:

"For sin shall have no dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."

Did Jesus on the Cross take away the dominion of sin over us? And if he did, and sin is the transgression of the law: then the Old Testament law is fulfilled and disanulled. What remains is the commandments of Jesus and all who do his commandments shall enjoy the glory world (John 14:15,21; 15:10; Acts 1:2;  1Cor 14:37; 1Thes 4:2; 1John 2:3-4; Rev 22:14). We are not lawless, we have the New Testament law written into our hearts. In this law we have our gloryland rights. All because of the love of Jesus.

The grace and mercy of Jesus brings to the world salvation and we find it in Acts 2:38 where the plan of faith and grace salvation was first preached.

Jesus bless us all to accept that he fulfilled all the law and brought it to its end.

Jewish thoughts In Jesus day

Jesus must be locked up, he has stolen the hearts of the people.

Jesus must be put to death, he claims he is the son of God Messieh.

It is so strange how two simple thoughts could end up in murder.

Justification for the crucifixion murder will rest on the right of the Temple cult to violate the Ten Commandments and other laws and ordinances.

Bearing false witness when examined, was used against Jesus by the cult.

Thank God, we know Jesus was not guilty.

I have made my judgment.

Jesus was not guilty.
