A Better Translation

Why has no one made a better translation of the Bible?

I went to a mobile Bible Museum this summer.  While I found the exhibits interesting, I would have rather that it had not been a guided tour.

On the left side were exhibits from ancient times until about 1900 AD.  On the right side were exhibits from then until now.

When the young woman explained things on the left side, there was one historical error after another in her presentation.  I resisted the temptation to correct any of them due to the limited time of the tour  - especially since they were already behind schedule when they started our group.

However, her presentation on the right side was much better.  It was largely focused on how people smuggled Bibles in places like the former Soviet Union and new insights into the complexity of the Bible that had been discovered using modern technology.

One thing of great interest was exhibit that mapped out all the connections formed by references in one line in the Bible to other lines of the Bible.  Way more than 10,000 had been found by computer analysis.

This was far more than any other book that had been analyzed like War And Peace.  These references went both directions and included connections between books of the Bible that were written at the same time by people who were a thousand miles (1,600 km) from each other.

It would have been almost impossible for a single person to accomplish if they had written all the books of Bible themselves.  It was impossible for this to happen when the books were written by over forty authors on three different continents in three different languages over a period of eighteen hundred years.

This showed that the Bible had to have a single author of unimaginable intelligence that dictated the books to the author of each book in it.  It showed that the Book of Truth (The Bible) could have only been written by the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD).

Another thing that caught my attention was the comparisons of the text of Dead Sea Scrolls to the text of various translations performed by various people using computers.  These analysis compared the meaning of the Hebrew words of the books of the Bible found in the Dead Sea Scroll with the meaning of the words of each translation at the time when the translation was made.

The King James was shown to be far more accurate than any other English translation.  It had only had about 0.05% mistranslated words.

Most of those errors were caused by errors in the Second Rabbinic Bible used for the Hebrew text in translating it.  This source text had inherited these errors from the Masoretic Text.  The Masoretic Text was the oldest known Hebrew text at the time when the King James Version was made and touted by the Rabbis as the most accurate.

However, the Masoretic Text does not agree with the Greek Septuagint translation in a number of places.  In every single place where the disagreement occurs between the two, the text of the Dead Sea Scrolls agrees with the Greek Septuagint. 

Some of these are of things like the height of Goliath which is six cubits in the Masoretic Text but is only four cubits in the Septuagint and the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Most concern identifying the Messiah of Israel like Psalms 22.

Most of the errors that people assert that are in the King James Version are actually errors caused by their lack of knowledge about the meaning of the words in it.  Anyone can skim over the surface and make ignorant statements about things that they did not bother to research.

For example, the word “nephew” in the King James Version when it was written meant “grandson” today (1 Timothy 5:4).  This is sometimes cited as a mistranslation of the Greek word “enkonos” in the King James Version but in reality it was accurate at the time of the translation.

There are other problems with King James Version.

For example, the genealogy of the Man of Truth (Yah'shau aka Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus) in the King James Version of the Gospel of Matthew has only thirteen generations listed between the carry away from Babylon until his birth even though the summary below it says that there are fourteen generations (Matthew 1:12-17).  This also does not match the number of generations from Zorobabel to his birth found in the King James Version of the Gospel of Luke (Luke 3:23-27).

He is a descendant of King David through Solomon in the King James Version of the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 1:6-16).  However, he is a descendant of King David through Nathan in the King James Version of the Gospel of Luke (Luke 3:23-31).

When the Greek manuscripts are examined that the King James Version was translated from, it is shown that this not a translation error by the translators.  They also contain these contradictions.

Even the oldest Greek manuscripts of the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) ever found contain these contradictions.  Even the oldest Greek copies of these individual books that are older than the oldest Greek manuscript contain these contradictions.

So, these contradictions are not found only in the King James Version but also in almost every modern translation including the New International Version.  It even exists in the Orthodox Jewish Bible.

However, if there had been such a contradiction when the Man of Truth was born, then his enemies would have found it and made it known.  His entire claim to be the Messiah of Israel depended upon having the right linage.

They would have been able to find out quickly since the linage of all of the returning exiles and their descendants were kept at the Temple since the time of Nehemiah (Nechemyah) (Nehemiah 7:5).  The fact that his enemies never included this in their many reasons to reject his claim tells us that these contradictions did not exist when the Man of Truth walked the Earth.

So, this means that the problem has to be with the Greek source documents.  This is not conjecture for every single Church historian before 300 AD says that the Gospel of Matthew was written in Hebrew originally and then translated into Greek.

According to Eusebius, the translators were not speakers of Hebrew and had to try to translate as best as they could.  Consequently, they made several mistakes in translating from Hebrew to Koine Greek.  These included a mistake concerning Mary the Jew – the mother of the Man of Truth.

The Hebrew copies of the Gospel of Matthew that are older than the Greek copies say Joseph the father of Mary (Mariam).  This removes the contradictions completely and explains why the enemies of the Man of Truth were not able to discredit him based on his genealogy.

The reason that the original Greek translators used “husband” instead of “father” for “ab” was that they used the Greek copies of the Gospel of Luke and Gospel of Mark for comparison to their Greek translation of the Hebrew Gospel of Matthew.  In those texts Joseph is only called the husband of Mary, but Joseph the father of Mary is never mentioned, so they assumed that “ab” also meant husband.

It did not occur to them that the father of Mary could have the same name as her husband.  This error got perpetuated in new Greek copies in the Gospel of Matthew.

However, it has been long known as shown above that the language of the Renewed Covenant was not just Greek.  In fact, some of these Church historians went to India to obtain a copy of the Gospel of Matthew written in Hebrew reportedly by Matthew the Jew (Matityahu aka the Apostle Matthew) himself.

They brought it back and had it placed in the Library of Alexandria in Egypt after the False Church of Rome became the official church of the Roman Empire.  It remained there until the Crusaders recaptured Alexandria from the Muslims and it was placed in the Vatican.

In fact, the Vatican has many copies of the Gospel of Matthew written in Hebrew within its vaults.  Many have not been catalog, but some like Vatican 100 have been.

So, again the fault is not in the translation work of the King James Version translators but in the text that they translated from just like had happened with the Masoretic Text.  Other translations that used the same faulty Greek text have the same mistakes.

There are also a few other errors where the translators chose the wrong word in a few places outside of the Gospel of Matthew in the King James Version.  For example, they translated “Iesus” as “Jesus” instead of “Joshua” who led the people of Israel into the Promised Land (Act 7:45).

In Greek and Hebrew they both have the same name - but not in English.  It should have been translated as Joshua who actually did this in the book that bears his name in English.

However, other translations have even more translation issues.

This has been shown by analysis performed by computers numerous times.  Most of these analysis have been performed on different parts of the Book of Truth by different groups.

For one thing, as shown above, these newer translations repeat many of the mistakes of the King James Version instead of correcting them.  Then they add new mistakes on top of those.

Among them is the one disturbing sentence found in the New International Version and many other translations.  It was not found in any English translation until it was first included in the Revised Standard Version in 1946.

Adding “(Thus saying he declared all foods clean)” in their translation of Mark 7:19 was a purposeful attempt to distance the Man of Truth from the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law).  It was part of a movement based on higher criticism to create an American Jesus who was less Jewish that Americans would find more relatable.

On top of that, many translations like the New International Version have footnotes that undermine the authority of the text.  For example there is such a footnote for the resurrection of the Man of Truth, the giving of the Great Commission, and the promise of power to back up the message of the Great Commission, found in Mark 16:9-20.

Their claim is that the oldest and most reliable manuscripts do not contain the footnoted passages.  This is mostly based on the Sinaiticus which is claimed to be the oldest complete manuscript.  However, this is not even true because it is missing significant parts of the Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament) as well as parts of the Renewed Covenant as described above.

More than that, the text in it is far from pristine as it contains over 23,000 corrections and numerous variations of the same passages of scripture that do not agree with each other.  It is full of editorial instability and would never pass the rigorous standards applied to Rabbinic or Byzantine manuscripts – or even later Catholic manuscripts.  This is probably why some folios (pages) of it were found in a discard basket destined for the trash heap.

More than that, it is not oldest document that contains the Greek text of the Renewed Covenant.  There are many older documents that contain all or parts of every book of the Renewed Covenant.  Every single passage that is missing from the Sinaiticus has been found among these older documents.

For example, the ending of the Gospel of Mark noted above was found in Papyrus 45.  It was discovered in the 1930s and was available to the translators of the New International Version that was translated in the 1960s.  It was very poor scholarship on their behalf at best to add this footnote.

However, it is more likely that this older copy of the Gospel of Mark was intentionally ignored to boost their claims about the Sinaiticus and to cast doubt on the ending of the Gospel of Mark.  The ending of the Gospel of Mark is very troubling to many preachers because it says that supernatural signs will confirm that they are preaching what the Man of Truth preached and teaching what he taught.

Examples of this being done was when the Father of Truth raised my son from the dead because He knew that I would fulfill the vow that I made to Him and how the Man of Truth stood between the Impossible Girl and death three times.  These things were done because I was preaching what the Man of Truth preached and teaching what he taught.

However, these signs never occur at any time throughout their entire denomination.  These verses shows that this is the case because they are not preaching what the Man of Truth preached and teaching what he taught.

They are probably not preaching what the Man of Truth preached and teaching what he taught to avoid persecution.

The Man of Truth also promised that those who did what he did would be persecuted – even by their own families (Matthew 10:35-37).  For example, the persecution by my own father - even as I strived my entire life to fulfill the promise that I made to him after my parents divorced.

However, most of the persecution in America is economic.

For example, I was fired numerous times by Corporate America because I would never go along with evil to get along with evil people like a good Nazi.  This was after saving these companies literally hundreds of millions of dollars over my career by reporting fraud waste and abuse, eliminating costly inefficiencies, closing IT security holes, and preventing them from making disastrous business mistakes.

These religious professionals simply are not willing to suffer such economic persecution. They also value unity with each other over obedience to the Man of Truth.

After all, he is the most divisive man who ever lived.  You cannot preach what he preached and teach what he taught without causing division between those who are willing to change their beliefs to match his teachings and those who refuse to do so.

Since they refuse to change their message to match his message to avoid persecution and avoid causing division, there are no supernatural signs to confirm that their message is the message of the Father of Truth.  So, a translation like the New International Version that discredits this confirmation is very appealing to them.

This is at the heart of why no one has made a better translation.

The first English translation was by John Wycliff.  How did the religious professionals repay him for his long labor and toil to create as accurate of a translation as possible that was available to everyone who could read English?

He was put on trial for heresy five times by the False Church of Rome.  He was fired from his position at Oxford University and driven out of public life.  After death, he was declared a heretic and his remains were exhumed, burned, and scattered to erase his memory.

His followers, called the Lollards, continued his work and published his English translation among the peasants – who they taught how to read.  They also published his translation among the nobility.  They were likewise persecuted for about a hundred years for their efforts with many of them being martyred.

Afterwards, William Tyndale made a more accurate English translation based on Hebrew and Greek text that John Wycliff did not have access to.  How did the religious professionals repay him for his long labor and toil to create the most accurate translation possible for everyone who could read English?

He was forced to flee England, and they burned the first copies that were smuggled into England.  Ultimately, these religious professionals paid a friend to betray him.  This led to William Tyndale being strangled and then burned at the stake.

Afterwards, when the Church of England broke off from the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England had the Great Bible created as the official Bible of England.  It was virtually a word for word copy of the Tyndale Bible and the work of his disciples – but it did not give Tyndale credit for his work to translate it.

Later the Great Bible was used to create the Geneva Bible – the first translation to had chapter and verse numbers to make it easier to find the location of passages in the scriptures.  That was in turn used to create the King James Version.

In fact 80% to 90% of the Renewed Covenant in the King James Version is the work of William Tyndale.  Much of his translation work of the Original Covenant from Hebrew was destroyed, but most of the Pentateuch (Genesis through Deuteronomy) and Job in the King James Version are his work.  The rest are mostly from the Matthew Bible that one of his disciples, Myles Covendale, created to finish the work that Tyndale had been executed to end.

So, the payment that the religious professionals gave for making an accurate word-for-word translation in English was persecution and death.  What payment did they give for making a less accurate thought-for-thought translation that was more to their liking?

Over 450 million copies of the New International Version have been sold with the original translation corporation collecting around a 10% licensing fee for each copy sold.  The publishing companies report that as much as 84% of their sales every year are from this one translation.  Retailers have also made millions of dollars selling this translation. In short, the religious professionals have paid billions of dollars for a translation that has been altered to say what they want it to say.

So making a better translation that helps people better understand how to better follow the Man of Truth leads to persecution and death while making a polluted translation that tells people a message that they want to hear leads to great wealth and influence.  Therefore, no one has made a better translation.

How far does this resistance to making a better translation go?

It has not just been the New International Version that has followed this process.  In fact, eight out of the top ten selling English translations have the exact same errors as it.  The only two that do not are the King James and the New King James.

Even supposedly more accurate Jewish translations like the Complete Jewish Bible contain the same errors as the New International Version.  So, they are all actually less accurate than the King James Version – even though they could have been made more accurate.

Some of these translations were not only published with these known errors but have introduced new ones as well that cannot be supported by original source documents.  They disagree with other translations, but appeal to niche groups by saying things that those groups want to hear.

For example, the Inclusive Bible removes all references to gender differences.  So, Genesis 1:27 reads “humankind in God’s Image” instead of “male and female created He them”.  The Divine Feminine Version takes this further by referring to the Father of Truth as the Mother and the Man of Truth as the Daughter.

Another example is the New World Translation that alters the text to remove any reference to the Man of Truth also being God.  It changes John 1:1 to read “the Word was a god” using the same wording that is used of demons and idols in other places.

Other translations like the Cepher Bible include the so-called Missing Books of The Bible as scripture.  This includes the Book of Enoch that contradicts the Book of Truth in many places and is specifically referenced in scripture as an example of the Jewish fables that we are commanded to avoid.

People can find a translation that suits what ever they want to believe – without regard to the actual words of the original source documents.  If not, then they will make one up to gain followers who also want a translation that tells them what they want to hear.

This is why it is so important to know how to pick a good translation.  Otherwise, you can end up believing another Gospel that was given by another spirit that tells about another Jesus instead the one given by the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) that tells about the Man of Truth.

It would not be hard to make a better translation.

The problems of the King James Version using 400-year-old English have already been largely solved by modern updates to it like the New King James and the 21^st Century King James translations.  They could be used as the basis of a better translation.

The known issues with all translations – including these updates of the King James Version – could easily be fixed.  It is already known what they should be saying instead as shown above.  It is really just a matter of making the fixes.

The truth is there are not really that many of issues to be fixed as shown by the comparison of the King James Version to the Dead Sea Scrolls.  None of them concern things essential to coming to faith in the Man of Truth.

Still, this does not mean that these errors are unimportant.  Leaving them uncorrected gives room for skeptics to attack the validity of the Book of Truth.

Also, no translation should contain known errors because those are known corruptions of the contents of the Book of Truth.  It contains the Incorruptible Word and every translation should reflect that.

However, you do not need to wait for a better translation to come into the House of Truth.  Almost every translation will tell you how to do that.

You need to know that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).  You need to know that sin is transgression of the Law of Truth (1 John 3:4).

You need to know that sin is about the heart – that you will be judged for your thoughts and not just your deeds (Matthew 5:27-29).  You need to know that those with sin in their hearts will suffer eternally under the wrath of the Father of Truth (Ephesians 5:3-6).

You need to know that the Father of Truth loved you so much that He sent His son to die in your place to save you from His wrath (Romans 5:8-9).  You need to know that He does not want you to be eternally perish (2 Peter 3:9).

You need to know that anyone who call the Man of Truth “Lord” - but does not obey him - is a fool that will be destroyed (Matthew 7:21-27).  You need to know that if you truly make him lord of your life because you believe in your heart that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead, then you will be saved (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Vow

Why did God raise my son from the dead?

My son was hospitalized with Covid.  The problem was that he was part of a small minority whose immune system did not respond to it.

Doctors gave him no chance of surviving for more than a few days.  However, the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) told me that he would live, but he would have a long recovery.

The Father of Truth then told me that I had to post this on all the groups on Facebook and on my page first.  Only afterwards, would He bring it to pass.

So, I did as the Father of Truth said.  When the attending physician saw him next, he could not believe that it was the same patient that he had treated three days earlier before the Labor Day weekend.

However, this journey had just begun.  His immune system was still acting like nothing was wrong.

My son gave my wife power of attorney, and she was with him constantly in the hospital room with only a brief time off to come home to eat and get clean clothes.  Her past experiences kept her calm for she had seen the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) stand between The Impossible Girl and death three times.

I went into prayer and fasting mode.  Every day the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) would give me instructions for the doctors that I would pass to my wife who told them.

Against all odds, my son continued to get better as long as the doctors followed those instructions.  However, a department head doctor - who knew nothing about the case - gave instructions contrary to the instructions that the doctors on the case had given just to exert his authority.

That doctor placed his ego over the welfare of the patient.  This hospital had been taken over by an out-of-state corporation and now it was operating the same way as most of Corporate America.

Soon, my son took a serious turn for the worst.  He stopped responding to treatments altogether and went downhill fast.

So, I pled with the Father of Truth to save him as He had said would and vowed that if He saved my son and return him to his own home, then I would tell everyone that He had done so.  I would also make sure they knew that this was done to confirm the message of the Book of Truth:  That there was no god but the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that this God has a son – the Man of Truth –who He raised from the dead and that there was no salvation without total surrender to His son.

Soon, afterwards my son died despite every effort of medical science to save him.  However, God raised him from the dead shortly afterwards.

The doctors were in shock.  Soon, the story got out and it was on two of the local news stations.  The tagline for the story was “Do you believe in miracles?”.

I was not, however.  This was not the first time that the Father of Truth had done something like this when I had prayed fervently.

This cycle of hearing instructions from the Spirit of Truth, my wife passing on the instructions to the doctors, and my son recovering against all odds as they followed those instructions continued.  However, several more times his recovery was delayed by someone who did know anything about his case making decisions wrecking his recovery by giving their own instructions.

My son had to go to multiple places during his long recovery, and this happened at every single place.  My wife and I would then pray for the Father of Truth to remove the person from his case.  The Father of Truth did so every time.

So, the attitude of Corporate America was not isolated to just one department of one hospital.  It had spread throughout the medical industry like a cancer.

During this time, I caught Covid twice and followed the advice that I had given others.  So, I worked right through it without taking a single sick day.

Finally, my son came home – something that those who kept giving their own instructions said would never happen.  The Father of Truth had done what I asked despite the best efforts of Corporate America to kill my son.

Now it was time for me to fulfill my vow.

Ever since my son had returned home, I had been telling everyone I could about how the Father of Truth had raised him from the dead, as I had vowed to do.  This included total strangers wherever I went.

I had told some of my colleagues at work, but somehow it seemed like I needed to do more there.  It was difficult since we were still working from home.

I needed to do more to fulfill my vow first.  Then the Spirit of Truth gave me a very clear and bold plan of action.

So, I crafted an e-mail with a link to a TV news story about my son dying and coming back to life on it.  I explained that the Father of Truth did this to confirm the message that I had told many of them was really from Him.

I explained that this miracle was proof that there was a God, and the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was that God.  It was proof that the Father of Truth was the only God that there was.  It was proof that the Father of Truth had a son and that son was the Man of Truth.

I explained that there was salvation in no other name but that of the Man of Truth.  I explained that there was no salvation without true repentance and there was no true repentance without total surrender to the Man of Truth.  I closed with pleading people to come to the Man of Truth in total surrender.

Then I sent that e-mail to everyone I knew that was still in the company – including the CIO and many of the other top executives.  I expected to get fired, but I had done what I had vowed to do. 

This made it plain that I would never play the game of Corporate America.  Instead I was following the example of the Man of Truth that would cause me to lose friends and irritate people.

However, I was not fired.  I really do not know why, except that they could not deny that my son had come back from the dead.

Instead, I ended up working there for over another year.  So, on the first Lazarus Day – the yearly anniversary celebration of the Father of Truth raising my son from the dead – I celebrated this with my co-workers in the Tulsa office.

That is not the only thing that I have done to fulfill the vow.

I have also published the news story about my son coming back to life on social media.  I have told many people in person about this – including when I took my wife to Hawaii.

I have talked about this in my sermons and lessons that I post on-line.  I have written about it in this blog.

I made a vow to the Father of Truth, and I have done everything that I can to keep it.  I want everyone to know that the message of His salvation is true.

It is for this very reason that the Father of Truth did this for me.  It is about confirming that He has raised His son from the dead.

For decades before this happened to my son, I had been telling people everywhere this.  When I went out for lunch with my co-workers the message of His salvation always came up.

It did not matter if my co-workers were Atheists, Hindus, Muslims, or followers of the Rabbis.  Everyone needs to hear about the Father of Truth raising His son from the dead.

It was not just His son that had been raised from the dead long before He raised my son from the dead.  I had also been raised from the dead.

I was made alive again when I came into the House of Truth (Romans 6:4).  I had been dead in trespasses and sin before that (Ephesians 2:1).

This was far greater than the Father of Truth raising my son from the dead.  Someday his body will die again, but my spirit will never die because the Man of Truth is the resurrection and the life (John 11:25-26).

I am now dead to sin, but alive unto the Father of Truth (Romans 6:9-11).  The life I now live, I live because of the resurrection of the Man of Truth (Galatians 2:20).

My life is hidden in the Father of Truth (Colossians 3:3).  I am dead to doing what is wrong in His eyes and alive to doing what is right in His eyes because what the Man of Truth did for me at Calvary (1 Peter 2:24).

I no longer live for myself but for the Man of Truth because I have been made a brand-new creation (2 Corinthians 5:15-17).  He is not just having a place in my life - he is my life (Colossians 3:4)!

I had earned death by my sins, but the Father of Truth gave me life through His son (Romans 6:23).  However, the law of the living in the Man of Truth through the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) freed me from the law of being sentenced to death for sin (Romans 8:2).

I was under the sentence of death, because my mind had been ruled by the desires of my body and could not obey the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) - which can only be done through the Spirit of Truth (Romans 8:4-7).  The Spirit of Truth came to live in me when I was raised from the dead, so now I can live to do what is pleasing in the eyes of the Father of Truth (Romans 8:8-10).

This is the power of the Gospel that makes us able to do what is right in the eyes of the Father of Truth through faith in the Man of Truth (Romans 1:16-17).  This is the power that is denied by many behind the pulpit because they love pleasure more than the Father of Truth (2 Timothy 3:4-5).

So things like raising the dead are done to confirm the power of the Gospel to save.

The Man of Truth told his disciples to raise the dead when they preached the Gospel (Matthew 10:7-8).  The Father of Truth raised the dead when the Man of Truth asked Him to confirm the message of the Gospel (John 5:19-21).

The Man of Truth has promised that this same power would be there when we preach the Gospel (Mark 16:15-18).  He has promised that we would do greater things than he has done when we ask for the Father of Truth to confirm the message of the Gospel (John 14:12-13).

So, the power confirms the message of Gospel when it is preached (Mark 16:20).  Those who bring the Gospel come with the power to confirm the message of the Gospel (Romans 15:18-19).

The preaching of the Gospel is not to be done with enticing words that cause people to put their faith in us, but with demonstrations of power that cause them to put their faith in the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 2:1-5).  It is not to be in words only, but the message is to be confirmed with power (1 Thessalonians 1:5).

However, there are no demonstrations of power when people turn aside from preaching the Gospel to avoid persecution (Matthew 13:20-21).  There are no demonstrations of power when they allow the pleasures of this world to keep them from preaching the Gospel (Matthew 13:22).

These demonstrations of power only come when people do not allow these things to keep them from faithfully preaching the Gospel (Matthew 13:23).  It only comes upon those who have counted the cost and have placed the Man of Truth above everything else (Luke 14:26-30).

The Man of Truth was hated by the world because the message of the Gospel was that they were wicked (John 7:5-7).  The message of the Gospel is hated by those who reject it because it is a death sentence to them (2 Corinthians 2:16)

So, the Children of Truth are also hated when they preach about the Man of Truth (Luke 6:22).  They are hated for the Gospel that he gave them to preach (John 17:14).

Therefore, the wonder working power of the Gospel is demonstrated to make it apparent who is preaching the Gospel and who is just putting on a religious show (Acts 4:13-18).  This separates those who are preaching the Gospel from those who are puffed up in religious pride (1 Corinthians 4:19-20).

So, the Father of Truth raised my son from the dead to confirm that I was preaching His message.  I continue to do this as I keep the vow that I made.

Are you ready to be raised from the dead as well?

You have sinned just like everyone else (Romans 3:23).  You are already dead for sin brings death (Romans 5:12).

If you will hear the message of the Gospel and believe it is from the Father of Truth, then you will go from death to life (John 5:24).  You will be raised from the dead when you sins are forgiven (Colossians 2:12-13).

You will be able to do what is right in the eyes of the Father of Truth after you have been raised from the dead (Romans 6:13).  Your sinful nature will die and you will rise from the dead to live a new life with the nature of the Man of Truth (Galatians 2:20).

So, you must lose the life your life to follow the Man of Truth in order to gain the life he offers (Matthew 16:24-25).  You must hate the life that you have been living in this world to gain eternal life (John 12:25).

You do this by doing what the Man of Truth commands, for destruction will come upon those who do not obey his commandments (Luke 6:46-49).  You cannot love him and know him without keeping his commandments (John 14:21).

You cannot enter his kingdom by just calling him “Lord”, but you must also do the will of the Father of Truth (Matthew 7:21).  You cannot love the Father of Truth without keeping His commandments (1 John 5:1-3).

This will cause the world to persecute you like it persecuted the Man of Truth (John 15:18-21).  Everyone who lives like him will be persecuted by the world (2 Timothy 3:12).

So, you must endure this hatred until the end of your life on Earth to be saved (Matthew 10:21-22).  If you withdraw from the fight to escape persecution, then you will be destroyed with the world (Hebrews 10:38-39).

You cannot make peace with the world and have peace with the Father of Truth (James 4:4).  If you live a life of compromise, then the Man of Truth will spit you out (Revelation 3:15-16).

However, everything that you will suffer cannot compare to what you will gain from coming to the Man of Truth in total surrender (2  Corinthians 4:16-18).  For only those who keep the commandments of the Father of Truth will enter His eternal kingdom while everyone else will suffer eternal punishment in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 22:14-15).

So, come into the House of Truth by committing to obey the Man of Truth in everything because you believe that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  Then you will also be raised from the dead with him (Ephesians 2:5-7).

Come into the House of Truth!
