What are you saying?

What are you saying about the most important subject in life?

Have you ever been listening to someone and it is obvious that they do not know what they are talking about?  Have you ever been listening to someone and it is obvious that they have been given some wrong information that has lead them to wrong conclusions?  Have you ever been listening to someone and it is obvious that they have not really looked into the subject of the conversation themselves but are only repeating what they have heard others say?  Have you ever been listening to someone and it is obvious that they are making contradictory statements?  Have you ever been listening to someone and it is obvious that they have not thought out what they are saying?  Have you ever been listening to someone and it is obvious that something just does not seem right about what they are saying?

When this happens there are several ways to handle it.  You could just listen to them and let them continue on down the wrong path without saying a word.  After all, the subject might not be that important to you or you might not know enough yourself about the subject to put them on the right path.  You could learn about what they are talking about and then discuss it with them later if you do not know much about the subject.  This is a good option that could save yourself embarrassment when you do not know enough about the subject to be sure that they are on the wrong path.  You could get in their face and tell them that you think that they are talking nonsense.  This is could lead to a fight without any opportunity to put them on the right path.  You could use their words against them and start mocking them.  Some people think it is fun to bully those that are on the wrong path and to humiliate them.  You could express your interest in the subject and offer to study it out with them.   This could be a really good option if you think the subject is important enough to invest your time into and you do not really know enough yourself to put them on the right path even though you can see that they are on the wrong path.  You could pull them to the side so that they will stop displaying their ignorance and try to gently put them on the right path.  This is always the thing to do if the subject is important enough, if you know enough about the subject yourself to put them on the right path and you really care about their long term good.

How do you go about doing putting them on the right path?  If possible it is a good idea to talk to them in private or by sending them an e-mail or a private message.  If you can not talk to them in private, then perhaps you can talk about the right path to a group that they are in so you can show them the right path without singling them out.  You might even write a post in a blog that they read.  The goal in all cases is to get them to ask themselves one very important question about the subject:

What are you saying?

You can help them to see the error of their ways by going over what they have been saying and then giving them correct information so that they can see that they have been on the wrong path.  Some people will appreciate you taking the time to do so because they really want to be on the right path and are willing to make changes to get there.  Other people will be irritated because they really want to be on the wrong path and are unwilling to make any changes at all.  How people react is not your problem particularly when the subject is something that could cause them long term harm if they continue down the wrong path.

The truth is always the truth and will never change.  We cannot change the truth by telling a lie.  We need to be saying what the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) says about everything.   We do not want to spreading lies, even in ignorance, because then we are saying what the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) is saying (John 8:44).  There is one subject so important that everyone needs to be on the right path.  It is bigger than life and death to get this right.  We need to always be saying the truth about the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).  This might seem to be an exaggeration to you and you might be wanting to ask me:

What are you saying?

I'm saying that we need to examine what various people say about the Man of Truth and compare it to what the Book of Truth (aka The Bible) says about him.  I'm saying that what you say about the Man of Truth is the most important thing that you will ever say.

What are you saying?

You might be one of those who say you do not need the Man of Truth.  You might say that you are a pretty good person.  You might say that there are many ways to get to Heaven and the Man of Truth is only one way.  You might say that your idols will keep you safe.  You might even say that there is no God.

What are you saying?

You are a slave to sin unless you are saved from sin by the Man of Truth (John 8:34-36). You are not righteous on your own merit (Romans 3:10).  You are a slave to the Father of Lies as long as you obey the Father of Lies (Romans 6:16). You deserve to die for your disobedience to the Father of Truth because the wages of sin is death and they will never changed (Romans 6:23).  You have sinned (1 John 1:8).

The path that you are on may seem right to you but it will only lead you to death (Proverbs 14:12).  Not every path will lead to life (Proverbs 16:25).  The path to life is very narrow with few travelers (Matthew 7:14).   The only way to be on the path to life is to follow the Man of Truth (John 14:6).  There is no other name under Heaven that you can call on to be saved (Acts 4:10-12).

The Father of Truth is the only God that there is (Isaiah 44:6-8).  Every idol is worthless and cannot help you in any way (Isaiah 44:9-10).  It is pointless to pray to something that you can make yourself from earthly materials (Isaiah 44:13-17).  The Father of Truth can open your eyes so you can see how useless your idols really are (Isaiah 44:13-17).  Your idols did not make you and they cannot save you (Jeremiah 2:26-28).  Worshiping idols is an empty religion no matter how beautiful you make the idols (Jeremiah 10:8-9).  Idols have not made Heaven and Earth so they will completely perish from the Earth (Jeremiah 10:11).  Every promise of help from an idol is a lie that came from the Father of Lies (Jeremiah 10:14-15).  Those who worship idols are eating in the house of the Father of Lies along with those that rebelled against the Father of Truth with him (1 Corinthians 10:19-21).  Every idol worshiper will be thrown into the Lake of Fire where their suffering will never end because they chose to live with the Father of Lies (Revelation 21:8).

The Father of Truth created everything (Genesis 1:1).  The Father of Truth created all people in His image (Genesis 1:27). The atmosphere and the stars are proof to every man that the Father of Truth exists (Psalm 19:1-3).  Only a fool would believe that there is no God because there would also be no right or wrong (Psalm 53:1).  The Father of Truth will prove to you that He exists if you will search for Him with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13).  The entire universe is proof of the existence of the Father of Truth so you are without excuse (Romans 1:20).  You know on the inside that the commandments of the Father of Truth are right (Romans 2:14-15).

You might say that you do not need the Man of Truth because you are Jewish.  You might say that you can be righteous by following the commandments of the Rabbis (Takhanot).  You might say that since you walk in the way of the Rabbis (halakha) that you are on the right path.  You might say that since you are a descendant of Abraham, Isaac (Yitzhak) and Jacob (Ya'aqob) then you are automatically a child of the Father of Truth. You might say that the Man of Truth is only for the Gentiles.  You might say that the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) is not for Jews.

What are you saying?

The commandments of the Rabbis are the commandments of men that provoked the Father of Truth to do something that they could not understand (Isaiah 29:13-14).  The wisdom of the Rabbis has kept the Jewish people from recognizing that they are under the judgment of the Father of Truth for rejecting the Word of Truth (Jeremiah 8:7-9).  The commandments of the Rabbis have kept you from keeping the commandments of the Father of Truth (Matthew 15:5-9).  The commandments of the Rabbis have kept you burdened down (Matthew 23:4-7).  The commandments of the Rabbis have been placed above the commandments of the Father of Truth by the Rabbis (Mark 7:9-13).  The commandments of the Rabbis were created because they zealously tried to establish their own righteousness instead of submitting to the righteousness of the Father of Truth by following the Man of Truth (Romans 10:2-4).  The commandments of the Rabbis cannot keep you from disobeying the Father of Truth (Colossians 2:21-23).  The commandments of the Rabbis will keep you from seeing the truth that was given by the Father of Truth (Titus 1:14).

You do not need to walk in the way of the Rabbis to keep the commandments of the Father of Truth (Mark 7:1-8).  You probably were not personally taught the way of the Rabbis by one of the great Rabbis like Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) was (Acts 22:3).  You probably were not raised in the ways of the Rabbis by a Rabbi like Paul the Jew was (Acts 23:6).  You probably have not walked the according strictest way of the Rabbis since your youth like Paul the Jew did (Acts 26:4-5).  You have not walked in the way of the Rabbis better than Paul the Jew did (Galatians 1:14).  You do not have more reason to be confident in your walk in the way of the Rabbis than Paul the Jew had (Philippians 3:4-6).  Yet Paul the Jew found that his walk in the way of the Rabbis was as worthless as dung for keeping the commandments of the Father of Truth compared to following the Man of Truth (Philippians 3:7-9).

It is not enough for you to be a descendant of Abraham, Isaac (Yitzhak) and Jacob (Ya'aqob) to be right with the Father of Truth (Luke 3:8).  The children of Abraham are those that do what Abraham did (John 8:39).  Abraham believed the Father of Truth instead of relying on his own works in order to be made right with the Father of Truth (Romans 4:2-4).  You must have confidence in what the Father of Truth said that leads to action like Abraham had in order to be a child of Abraham (Galatians 3:6-8).

The Man of Truth was promised seed to come from Abraham to be a blessing to all families of the Earth including the Jews (Genesis 28:14).  The Man of Truth is the Prophet that Moses said that must be heard (Deuteronomy 18:15).  The Man of Truth is the Meshiach who David said would die but then rise to eternal life before his flesh would see corruption (Psalm 16:9-11).  The Man of Truth is the Meshiach who David described as dying from crucifixion (Psalm 22:14-18)  The Man of Truth is the Meshiach who David said the Rabbis would reject because they could not understand what the Father of Truth was doing (Psalm 118:22-23).  The Man of Truth is the Branch (Netzer aka Nazarene) who would come out of Jesse and that the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) would rest upon (Isaiah 11:1-3).  The Man of Truth is the Root that would Jesse came out of and that the Gentiles would trust (Isaiah 11:10).  The Man of Truth is the one who would bring Gentiles out of idol worship and back to worshiping the Father of Truth (Isaiah 42:6-8).  The Man of Truth is the one who would bring Gentiles back to worshiping the Father of Truth while the Jews were still scattered among the Gentiles (Isaiah 49:5-7).  The Man of Truth is the one who would be beaten, bruised and killed for the disobedience of all people including the Jews (Isaiah 53:4-6).  The Man of Truth is the Meshiach who Daniel said would come while the second Temple was still standing (Daniel 9:25-26).  The only reason for any Jew to not believe that the Man of Truth is the Meshiach after seeing what Moses and the Prophets had to say about the Meshiach is because they do believe Moses and the Prophets even though the Meshiach has risen from the dead (Luke 16:29-31).

The Renewed Covenant (the Hebrew word translated as "new" literally means "renewed") was not made with Gentiles but with Israel because Israel would not keep the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Covenant) (Jeremiah 31:30-31).  The Renewed Covenant (the Greek word translated as "new" literally means "renewed") has replace the Original Covenant that was broken by sin (Hebrews 8:13).  The Renewed Covenant was sealed with the blood of the Man of Truth and we must obey him to walk on the right path (Hebrews 12:24-25).

What are you saying?

The Jew is no better than the Gentile because all have disobeyed the Father of Truth and need to follow the Man of Truth to be saved (Romans 3:21-25).  Both Jew and Gentile come into the House of Truth by believing that His Father has raised him from the dead and making the Man of Truth the absolute ruler of every aspect of their life (Romans 10:8-10).  The Father of Truth did not cast away the Jews when He brought the Gentiles into the House of Truth (Romans 11:1-2).  When a Gentile becomes comes into the House of Truth they are grafted into the family tree of Israel (where they do not naturally belong) by the Father of Truth (Romans 11:13-22).  When a Jew comes into the House of Truth they are grafted back into the family tree of Israel (where they naturally belong) by the Father of Truth  (Romans 11:23-29)  There is no difference between Jew and Gentile in the House of Truth because the Man of Truth has destroyed the wall of separation by his death on the cross (Ephesians 2:14-16).

Come into the House of Truth.
