Who's your daddy?

What makes someone a father?

Some people grow up never knowing who their father is because not even their mother is sure.  Some people grow up knowing who their father is without ever actually knowing their father because he did not spend time with them.  Some people grow up knowing their father but wishing they did not because he does not treat them as a father should.  Some people grow up knowing their father as the best man they ever knew but he was taken away from them too soon.  Some people were begotten by one man but raised by another and are not sure which one is really their father.  All of these people need to know the answer to one question:  Who's your daddy?

The first question that must be answered to answer that question is: What is a father?

What makes someone a father?  Does begetting someone with a woman make them a father?  Does that even make them a man?

As in all things, knowing the answers to these questions begins with The Book of Truth (The Bible).  What does the Book of Truth say that makes someone your father?

The Book of Truth says a father is someone that provides for his children.  A father knows what his children need before they ask (Matthew 6:8).   A father feeds and clothes his children (Matthew 6:31-32).  A father only gives good things to his children (Matthew 7:9-11).  A father gives his children good and perfect gifts (James 1:17).

The Book of Truth says a father is someone that spanks his children when they need it (Hebrews 12:6-8).  A father spanks his children to drive disobedience out of them so they won't come to ruin (Hebrews 12:9-11).

The Book of Truth says a father is someone that lays up an inheritance for his children.  The inheritance belongs to the children (Matthew 21:38).  A father divides the inheritance among his children fairly  (Luke 12:13).  A father prepares for the welfare of his children instead of relying on his children to prepare for his welfare (2 Corinthians 12:14).

Who does a father count as his children?  Is only those that he begotten or is it also those that he has adopted?  Do adopted children have an inheritance?  Can a person be born into one family and then transferred to another family?

The Book of Truth says the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) can adopt us.  We can become children of the Father of Truth thru the Man of Truth (Yah'shua aka Jesus) (John 1:12).  The Father of Truth will give us the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) that brings about our adoption whereby we can call Him "daddy" (Romans 8:15).  The Father of Truth sent the Man of Truth so that we could be adopted into his family and call Him "daddy (Galatians 4:4-6).  The Father of Truth wants to call us His children because of His great love (1 John 3:1).

The Book of Truth says the adopted children also receive a part of the inheritance.  The Father of Truth is able to give the adopted children an inheritance (Acts 20:32).  The adopted children are joint heirs with the Man of Truth that was the only begotten son of the Father of Truth (Romans 8:17).  The adopted children are heirs because of the Man of Truth (Galatians 4:7).

The Book of Truth says that we can be born into one family and then transferred to another family.  The Father of Truth can take those that were no more related to Abraham than stones and bring them into the family that He promised Abraham (Matthew 3:9).  The Father of Truth can take those that descended from Abraham out of the family that He promised Abraham (Luke 13:28).  The Father of Truth can add those that he did not call His people to the family that He promised Abraham (Romans 9:26).  The Father of Truth can remove all but a remnant of those that He called His people from the family that He promised Abraham (Romans 9:27).

The truth is that there are really only two families in all the earth.  The truth is that only the Man of Truth was begotten by the Father of Truth as a free heir (John 1:18).  The truth is that the rest of us were born as slaves to the Father of Lies (John 8:33-35).  The truth is the rest of us were born into the family of the Father of the Lies (John 8:44).

The truth is that the Father of Truth has made a way for us to leave the family of the Father of Lies and come into His family where we were always meant to be.  Just as we became as slaves by being born the first time into the family of the Father of Lies in like manner we can only become free heirs by being born a second time into in the family of the Father of Truth (John 3:3). When we put out trust in the Man of Truth and come to live with him in the House of Truth, then there is a death in the family of the Father of Lies and a birth in the family of the Father of Truth.

The truth is we are all either children of the Father of Truth or children of the Father of Lies (1 John 3:10).  Who's your daddy?

You will become one of the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) when you come into the House of Truth.  You come into the House of Truth when you submit to the Man of Truth because you believe that his Father raised the only begotten Son from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).

Come into the House of Truth.

What is Truth?

What is truth?

This is the question that Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judaea, asked the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ), but never waited for a reply (John 18:38). Pilate had worshiped idols but found no comfort in so doing.  Pilate had been given great authority but it had only brought him grief.  Pilate had great wealth but it had only caused him to be concerned that everyone around him was seeking to take it and that none of his acquaintances were sincere.  Pilate had many encounters with the most respected religious professionals in the land that claimed to represent the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) but they could only offer endless arguments based on conflicting traditions that they claimed were a greater truth passed down to them than what was written in the Original Covenant (Tanach aka Old Testament).  The Man of Truth stood before him as a prisoner of Rome but Pilate was the one that was not free.

Are you like Pilate?  Are you in desperate need of the truth that will set you free?  Have you discovered that that your religion has brought you no comfort?  Have you found that those things that you thought would bring you joy have only brought you grief?  Have you realized the more stuff you accumulate the less peace you have?  Have the endless arguments of religious professionals tirelessly defending their traditions left you confused?  Are you like Pilate and asking "What is truth?"

Right after asking the question Pilate told the religious professionals that the he had found no fault in the Man of Truth.  Pilate acknowledged that the Man of Truth had nothing false in him.  Right in front of him had stood the only one that could answer his question!

Why didn't Pilate wait for an answer?  Why couldn't Pilate see the truth when the Man of Truth was standing right in front of his eyes?  Why didn't Pilate seek to know the truth from the Man of Truth instead of just acknowledging that there was nothing false in the Man of Truth?  Why didn't Pilate pursue the truth that would set him free?

The truth is that the question Pilate asked had no short answer other than the one the Man of Truth had given when he had identified himself as the Man of Truth. (John 18:37)  The only way for Pilate to know the truth was to pursue it by following the Man of Truth. (John 8:31-32)   This was problematic for Pilate in many ways.  Pilate was not a Jew. (John 18:35)  However the Man of Truth had only came to bring truth to the Jews at that time. (Matthew 15:24)  In order for Pilate to follow the Man of Truth he would have had to became a Jew through circumcision so Pilate would have lost his identity as a Gentile.  If Pilate became a Jew through circumcision, then Pilate would have to forsake every religious tradition that he had grown up with as an idol worshiper and instead embraced the holidays that the Father of Truth had established in the Book of Truth.  This could have lead to complete rejection by his friends and family.  Also Pilate would have been accused before Caesar of being an enemy of Rome by the Jewish religious professionals. (John 19:12)  If that had occurred, Caesar might have taken away his position of authority.  Caesar might have taken away his wealth.  Caesar might have taken away his life.  Also following the Man of Truth would have a required a commitment of his time and Pilate was busy.  Pilate would have to give up some of his other pursuits in order to know what is truth.  The cost of knowing what is truth was high in the eyes of Pilate.

Are you like Pilate?  Are you unwilling to follow the Man of Truth so that you can know what is truth?  Are you unwilling to lose your identity in your world so you can be identified with the Man of Truth?  Are you unwilling to forsake your religious traditions so that you can embrace the holidays that the Father of Truth has established in the Book of Truth?  Are you unwilling to risk losing your friends and family in order to be made a part of the family of the Father of Truth?  Are you unwilling to lose your place in this world so that you can come into the House of Truth?  Are you unwilling to give up some of your other pursuits in order to make time to know what is truth?  Is the cost of knowing what is truth high in your eyes?

The truth is there were no easy options for Pilate.  Pilate knew that there was nothing false in the Man of Truth. (John 19:6)  Pilate knew that the Man of Truth had been delivered to him because the religious professionals envied the Man of Truth. (Matthew 27:18)  Pilate knew that their envy sprang from people rejecting their traditions in order to follow the Man of Truth.  Pilate had been warned by the Father of Truth thru his wife to not reject the Man of Truth or that his wife would suffer greatly along side him. (Matthew 27:19)  Pilate had reason to believe her because she had been warned of several things in dreams before and they had all came to pass.  Pilate became more afraid when he learned that the Man of Truth was the son of the Father of Truth. (John 19:7-8)  Pilate found that there was no comfort in knowing that the Man of Truth is the Son of the Father of Truth because he was not following the Man of Truth.  Pilate understood that the cost of knowing what is truth would require paying a likely, but immediate, high one time set of payments but the cost of not knowing what is truth would require paying unavoidable, but delayed, immeasurably higher never ending payments.  Pilate chose to not know what is truth.

The truth is there are no easy options for you.  The Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaKodesh aka the Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) is witnessing to you that there is nothing false in the Man of Truth so that you know it in your heart.  You know that many religious professionals are not following the Man of Truth in order to maintain their traditions.  You have been warned by the prophets sent by the Father of Truth to not reject the Man of Truth.  You have reason to believe the prophets because they have warned Israel of many things and all of them have came to pass.  You have learned that the Man of Truth is the son of the Father of Truth.  You will find fear, not comfort, as long as you know that the Man of Truth is the son of the Father of Truth until you start following the Man of Truth.  You are being told upfront that the cost of knowing what is truth will require paying a likely, but immediate, high one time set of payments but the cost of not knowing what is truth will require paying unavoidable, but delayed, immeasurably higher never ending payments.  Will you choose to know what is truth?

You can know what is truth by coming into the House of Truth.  You come into the House of Truth by surrendering total control of your life to the Man of Truth because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
