A Loss of Power

Why has America experienced a loss of power?

America has undoubtedly experienced a loss of power.

It is no longer the largest economy in the world.  In the last forty years it has gone from being the largest lender nation in history to the largest borrower nation in history.  It has been experiencing the worst recession since World War II with no real signs of improvement.

While America is still the only current super power on Earth it is described by other countries as a waning super power.   Since the time that Iron Curtain came down the US has been on slow, but steady, descent.  Countries like Iran, who once avoided any appearance of willingness to fight with America, now say that it would be no big deal to go to war with the US.  While America undoubtedly has the strongest military on Earth at this time it does not create the fear that it did after the attacks of September 11, 2001 when every country on Earth was going out of its way to assure the US that it had nothing to do with those attacks.

This loss of power has nothing to do with the bravery of the men and women who have served to protect America.  This loss of power has nothing to do with their willingness to sacrifice their very lives so America can keep on being the home of the brave and the land of the free. Their bravery is demonstrated every day by how they face enemies who seek to destroy America and their sacrifices are remembered every year on Memorial Day.

America has been being prepared for this loss of power for a long time though a subtle influence by those who oppose the practices that made America strong in the first place.  Their subtle influence has lead to removing America farther and farther away from understanding its own roots to bring about even the disintegration of Thanksgiving.  The death of America is certain if this trend is not reversed by the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) rising up to take America back from the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) and his followers because they recognize that today is a time for civil disobedience.

This loss of power in America comes from a loss of power in the real source of power in America.  Just like a smart phone will experience a loss of power when the battery in it stops being recharged by being frequently connected to its power source so also America has experienced a loss of power when the American Church stopped being recharged by frequently being connect to its power source.

The American Church has been called the source of power and stability in America over and over again by domestic sources continually from the time of the Pilgrims to the last days of President Reagan.  It has been stated by justices of the Supreme Court decade after decade.  It was confirmed by congress when the words "In God We Trust" was made the national motto of America.  

That the source of power in America has always been the American church is no surprise to neither friend nor foe of America.  Foreign sources like Tocqueville have consistently noted that America was constantly lifted up and unified by the dominance of Protestant Christianity throughout most of America.  Governments of various European powers at many times during the history of America have noted the same thing.  Even communist China did a twenty year study on why America outdid almost everyone at almost everything at the time and concluded that it was because of the faith of Americans in the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).

The only people on Earth who do not seem to recognize what is the source of American power are Americans today.  Other countries have long recognized that this was the case even if they did not really understand why this is the case.   Indeed various countries like Communist Russia have sought to find ways to undermine the strength and stability of America by disconnecting Americans from the influence of the Man of Truth on America.  They have supported people who have spread lies like the Greatest Fairy Tale Ever Told through the education system just for this purpose.

Their efforts have not been in vain for Americans have come to believe it when people tell them "My DNA made me do it" as an excuse for any behavior including murder.  This should be no surprise since America started becoming a nation of serial killers in the 1973 and has grown even worse to the point that people find it acceptable to live like they were married in Sodom today.  However, the efforts of these foreign powers to destroy America from within would be futile if the American Church itself was not experiencing a loss of power.

So the question becomes: Why has the American Church experienced a loss of power?

There is a loss of power in power delivery system of the American Church.  Just as a battery has to be frequently recharged by being plugged into a wall socket connected to the electrical grid in order to keep supplying power to a smart phone so also the Children of Truth in America have to be frequently plugged into a local congregation connected to a system of religious professionals in order to keep supplying power to America.  Yet the system of religious professionals have not been delivering power to the local congregation so it is doing the Children of Truth no more good to be plugged into their local congregation than it does to plug a smart phone into a wall socket when the electrical grid is not delivering power to the wall socket.  The batteries cannot be recharged when there is a loss of power in the power delivery system.

So why is there a loss of power in the power delivery system of the American Church?

The loss of power does not mean that there is a lack of power in the power source.  While there can be individual areas that experience a loss of power from damage to the power grid in their area, such as is sometimes caused by the weather, that does not mean that the power source has lost any power whatsoever.  However, these types of crisis only account for a small amount of the loss of power that occurs between the power source and the wall sockets of houses.  The power grid itself actually causes most of the loss of power.  In fact in some cases all most of the power, up to seventy percent of the electricity generated, is lost as it goes from the power source through the electrical grid to the wall sockets.  This massive loss of power is caused by the resistance to electricity by the electrical grid itself.  This resistance to electricity creates heat that sometimes even damages part of the electrical grid to the point that there is a complete loss of power in some areas.  In other words, if the resistance to the power flowing from the power source in the electric grid system is high enough then it can cause a complete disconnection of many wall sockets from the power source.

If there is no power from the power source in the wall sockets then the batteries cannot be recharged.  Without the batteries being recharged the smart phones will eventually stop functioning even though there is no loss of power in the power source.

It is exactly the same way with the Children of Truth in America.

The loss of power in the American Church does not mean that there is a lack of power in the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost).  Even if some individual congregations experience a power loss due to damage to the religious professional system in their area, such as is some times caused by death, that does not mean that the Spirit of Truth has lost any power whatsoever.  However, these types of crisis only account for a small amount of the loss of power that has occurred between the Spirit of Truth and local congregations.  The religious professional system itself actually causes most of the loss of power.  In some cases, almost all of the power is lost as it goes from the Spirit of Truth through the system of religious professionals to the congregations.  This massive loss of power is caused by the resistance to the Spirit of Truth by the system of religious professionals itself.  This resistance to the Spirit of Truth creates heat that sometimes damages some of the religious professionals to the point that there is a complete loss of power in some denominations.  In other words, if the resistance to the Spirit of Truth by the system of religious professionals is high enough then it can cause a complete disconnection of many local congregations from the Spirit of Truth.

If there is no power from the Spirit of Truth in the local congregations then the Children of Truth who attend those congregations cannot be recharged.  Without the Children of Truth being recharged then America will stop functioning even though there is no loss of power in the Spirit of Truth.

So how does the system of religious professionals create resistance to the Spirit of Truth?

There are several ways the system of religious professionals create resistance to the Spirit of Truth that results in a loss of power in the congregations they influence.

Sometimes there is no power from the Spirit of Truth in some area of life simply because religious professionals do not know what is written in the Book of Truth about that area of life.  People cannot even come into the House of Truth unless someone tells them about the Man of Truth (Romans 10:13-15).  No one can act in faith on the Word of Truth until they have heard it (Romans 10:17).  The Spirit of Truth cannot start working in their lives until they have heard and believed the Word of Truth (Galatians 3:2).   The power of the Spirit of Truth cannot flow if they have not heard and believed the Word of Truth (Galatians 3:5).  The power of the Spirit of Truth cannot begin to work until faith is mixed in with the Word of Truth (Hebrews 4:2).

Sometimes there is no power from the Spirit of Truth in some area of life because religious professionals are actively resisting the Spirit of Truth working in that area of life.  For example, if they forbid people from allowing the Spirit of Truth work through them in power as the Man of Truth commanded all of the Children of Truth then they are actively resisting the Spirit of Truth (Mark 16:15-19).  The Spirit of Truth is the power source for these operations in their congregations so anyone who actively resists these operations is actively resisting the Spirit of Truth (1 Corinthians 12:8-10).  They are actively resisting the Spirit of Truth if they forbid people to speak in tongues in their congregations (1 Corinthians 14:39).  They are quenching the Spirit of Truth if they are despising people speaking by the Spirit of Truth in their congregations (1 Thessalonians 5:19-20).

Sometimes there is a a loss of power from the Spirit of Truth because religious professionals have a shortage of love for other people.  The Man of Truth taught that the Children of Truth must even love those who hate them if they want to be like His Father (Matthew 5:44-48).  He taught that loving other people was almost as important as loving His Father (Matthew 22:37-39).  The Man of Truth loved other people completely (John 13:1).  The Man of Truth commanded the Children of Truth to love people in the same way that he loved people so everyone would know that he was the king of their life (John 13:34-35).  He commanded that the Children of Truth lay down their lives for one another (John 15:12-14).  His commandment to every religious professional is to love and take care of the Children of Truth like He does (John 21:15-17).  The ability to love people like the Man of Truth loves people comes from the Spirit of Truth (Romans 5:5-8).  Those who love other people as much as they love themselves fulfill the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) (Romans 13:8-10).  Those who love people like the Man of Truth loved people will lay aside all ambitions of becoming wealthy in order to take care of the needs of others (2 Corinthians 8:7-9).  Faith in the Man of Truth produces power in the lives of those who love others through the power of the Spirit of Truth (Galatians 5:5-6).  This kind of love that fulfills the Law of Truth only comes from the Spirit of Truth (Galatians 5:22-23).  The Spirit of Truth is the power source for this kind of love so those who do not operate in love are resisting the Spirit of Truth (Ephesians 3:16-17).

Sometimes there is no power from the Spirit of Truth in some area of life because religious professionals only look at what is written in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) and ignore what is written in the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament).  They make errors like those of the Pharisees because they do not know the Original covenant (the only part of the Book of Truth that was written when the Man of Truth was on the Earth) (Matthew 22:29).  They make these errors because like the Pharisees they do not know the power of the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) (Mark 12:24).  They are not searching the Original Covenant (the only part of the Book of Truth the Bereans had) like the noble men of Berea to see if what they have been taught is true (Acts 17:11).  They are not teaching the entire counsel of the Father of Truth like Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) did (Acts 20:25-27).  They cannot possible get the doctrines of the Renewed Covenant right if they do no examine the writings of the Prophets like Paul the Jew did (Romans 16:25-27).  If they do not study the entire Book of Truth then they cannot get the doctrines in the Word of Truth right (2 Timothy 2:15).  They are subject to being deceived if they neglect the Original Covenant that can make them wise to salvation through faith in the Man of Truth (2 Timothy 3:13-15).  They cannot instruct others in righteousness and bring them to full maturity in the Man of Truth unless they use the entire Book of Truth (2 Timothy 3:16-17).  Since the Original Covenant came from the Spirit of Truth then those who resist what is written the Original Covenant are resisting the Spirit of Truth (2 Peter 1:19-21).

Sometimes there is no power from the Spirit of Truth in some area of life because religious professionals place their traditions above what is written in the Book of Truth.  Like the Pharisees they are more concerned with maintaining their own traditions instead of obeying what is written in the Book of Truth (Matthew 15:1-3).  When they break the commandments of the Father of Truth to keep their tradition then they are only worshiping with their mouths but not with their hearts because they are teaching their own doctrine instead of His doctrine (Matthew 15:4-9).  They have to reject the commandments of the Father of Truth to keep the commandments of their own doctrine (Mark 7:7-9).  There is a loss of power when they keep a tradition that contradicts the written Word of Truth (Mark 7:13).  Some of these religious professionals lay aside the commandments of the Father of Truth to keep Jewish traditions that come from the Rabbis even to the point of persecuting the Children of Truth who do not agree with them (Galatians 1:13-14).  Other religious professionals do not teach the same things as the Man of Truth in order to keep traditions that come from philosophies rooted in idol worship (Colossians 2:6-8).  In either case it is resisting what was written by the inspiration of the Spirit of Truth so they can keep the empty traditions which they have inherited from their fathers that is robbing them of the power that was bought with the blood of the Man of Truth (1 Peter 1:18-20).

Sometimes there is complete loss power from the Spirit of Truth because religious professionals are trying to accomplish by keeping the letter of the Law of Truth what can only be accomplished by the power of the Spirit of Truth.  They seek to live by the oldness of keeping the Law of Truth in their own power instead of the newness of living a life that is controlled by the Spirit of Truth (Romans 7:6).  Since the Law of Truth is spiritual it cannot be kept without the help of the Spirit of Truth (Romans 7:14-16).  It is by following the Spirit of Truth that people fulfill the righteous requirements of the Law of Truth (Romans 8:3-5).  No one can be justified by keeping the Law of Truth in their own strength (Galatians 2:15-16).  The Man of Truth died for nothing if people could be made righteous by keeping the Law of Truth in their own strength (Galatians 2:20-21).  People cannot finish in their own strength what it took the power of the Spirit of Truth to start (Galatians 3:1-3).  The power of the Spirit of Truth comes by faith in the Man of Truth instead of by performing the works of the Law of Truth (Galatians 3:5-7).  The justification that only comes believing the testimony of the Spirit of Truth concerning the Man of Truth can never come from efforts to perform the works of the Law of Truth (Galatians 3:9-11).  Anyone who is circumcised to receive justification under the Law of Truth has made the blood of the Man of Truth powerless in their lives and has fallen from the grace of the Father of Truth (Galatians 5:2-4).  It is only by the power of the Spirit of Truth working in their lives that they can overcome the sinfulness of their flesh to do what the Law of Truth requires so anyone trying to keep the Law of Truth in order to be saved is completely resisting the Spirit of Truth (Galatians 5:16-18).

Although the exact circumstances vary these religious professionals are all in some shape, form or fashion are resisting the Spirit of Truth by either not believing what is written in the Book of Truth (The Bible) or by not obeying what is written in the Book of Truth similar to what the unbelieving Jews did concerning the Prophets of Truth, the Man of Truth and the Law of Truth (Acts 7:51-53).  If this was the case with those who only had the Original Covenant then how much more should those who have been given the Renewed Covenant be careful to believe and obey what is in it (Hebrews 2:1-4)? 

Are there any real life examples of the system of religious professional creating a loss of power by resisting the Spirit of Truth?

I once belonged to a congregation where the Spirit of Truth operated at times in the most amazing ways.  People would be instantly delivered from addictions and healed of all kinds of diseases.  The power of the Spirit of Truth was so strong that sometimes entire sections of the congregation would fall down like dead men without anyone even touching them (John 18:3-6).  Sometimes people would be so overwhelmed by the power of the Spirit of Truth that they acted like they were drunk without ever touching a single drop of alcohol (Ephesians 5:18).  Sometimes we would have seven days a week revivals that lasted for weeks and the place would be packed every single day.  When the Spirit of Truth is operating in power the problem is not advertising but crowd control.

Then we started experiencing a loss of power.  People would have hands laid on them and not recover.  Some even died.  So we started having prayer every evening in an effort to experience a restoration of power.  Whenever I was praying in tongues during these prayer meetings the Spirit of Truth would speak through me about how the congregation needed to repent of certain things.  Some of them made no sense to me at the time because there were things going on that I had no idea about.  However, there were other things that I could plainly see like how that many of the members of our congregation were only giving to get because they had come to the point where they cared about more about getting bigger, better, newer things than taking care of other people.

However, the root of the problem was that some of the family members of the pastor who were on the church staff were doing things that were not right but he did not remove them from the church staff similar to how Eli the Priest did not remove his sons from the priesthood  (1 Samuel 2:22-25).  He knew that anyone who did not have their own house in order was not fit to be over the house where the Children of Truth congregated (1 Timothy 3:5).  The pastor would have removed anyone else from the staff of the church that were doing those same things which is contrary to what the Spirit of Truth said in the Law of Truth (James 2:8-10).  In fact the pastor said that every time he read the Book of James (Ya'acob) he got a spanking from the Spirit of Truth for doing things like this.  The Man of Truth gave the pastor space to repent, even sending people like myself to warn him, but he still would not repent then judgement came down like it had on the congregation at Thyatira when they did not repent after being given space to do so (Revelation 2:20-22).  Since the pastor continued in resisting the Spirit of Truth this way, even after being warned over and over for two years, the congregation experienced a tremendous loss of power.

Afterwards I left that congregation and went to the very first meeting of a new congregation that had about 30 adults in the service.  The pastor allowed me and another person to stand with him and lay hands on the sick even though neither one of us were religious professionals.  We had some tremendous demonstrations of power during this time including one case where a man who was dying from throat cancer had all of the cancer burned out of his body when we laid hands on him according to his own words.  My own daughter was as good as dead from a condition that no one else has ever been recorded by medical science of surviving but rose up from that coma to experience the greatest health of her entire life during this period.  Needless to say, our congregation went from about thirty adults to about seven hundred adults in one year's time.  Our biggest problem was now how could we seat everyone.  Again, when the Spirit of Truth shows up in power the problem is crowd control and not advertising.

This new pastor belonged to a denomination that officially believed in healing and holy living by the power of the Spirit of Truth but most of the pastors did not really expect either to happen.  However, the regional superintendent had told this pastor that he could do anything that he could show him from the Book of Truth (The Bible) in our services.  Since the pastor was not resisting the Spirit of Truth in this matter then the power of the Spirit of Truth was flowing in our services.

Then that superintendent died in a car wreck and was replaced by another superintendent who did not want anyone who was not on the church staff to be laying hands on the sick.  It was pointed out to him that the Man of Truth said that all believers, not just religious professionals, were to lay hands on the sick and they would recover (Mark 16:17-18).  The pastor obeyed the new superintendent instead of the instructions given by the Spirit of Truth in the Book of Truth and there was a complete loss of power for healing the sick in that congregation.  Again, it was resisting the Spirit of Truth that brought about a loss of power.

So in short, whenever the religious professionals who lead these congregations learned what the Book of Truth said about anything and made changes to be in line with what the Spirit of Truth had said in the Book of Truth then there was an increase in power.  However, when these religious professionals resisted the Spirit of Truth by not doing what they knew the Book of Truth said about anything then they experienced a loss of power.

How does resistance to the Spirit of Truth by the system of religious professionals create a loss of power for an entire nation?

It has been the same way for America on a national scale as it was for those two congregations.  The system of religious professionals in America have moved further and further from teaching what the Book of Truth says consistently since 2000 at least. In the weeks following the attacks of September 11, 2001 congregations were swelled to all time high levels where the majority of religious professionals lied to those seeking answers.  They lied to these desperate people and told them that if they would pray then the Father of Truth would heal America.  When this did not happen many Americans became even more disobedient to the Father of Truth.

This did not happen because that is not what the Spirit of Truth said in the Book of Truth.  The Spirit of Truth said that IF those who called themselves His Children would humble themselves by admitting that they had been doing what the Father of Truth said was evil, then do what the Father of Truth said is right instead, and pray to Him THEN He would hear their prayers, forgive their sins and heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14). It is only repentance that can end the resistance to the Spirit of Truth so the power can resume (Acts 2:38).  It is repentance that brings about a restoration of power on either a personal scale or on a national scale (Acts 3:19).  Forgiveness does not come to a nation without national repentance (Acts 5:31).  National repentance always results in a change in the behavior of the nation (Acts 26:20).  National sorrow without national repentance will lead to the death of any nation (2 Corinthians 7:10).

Of course when they have told people that they do not need to stay in the House of Truth to be saved then people did not repent and come back into the House of Truth.  There has been no restoration of national power because there has been no national repentance.

This treasonous act of cowardice on their behalf was the largest unified resistance to the Spirit of Truth in the history of America. They simply did not love the people of America enough to tell them the truth so they would return to the Father of Truth but instead hated the American people with the worst kind of hatred.

Many of these religious professionals have only gotten worse and have adopted all kinds of new schemes to increase the membership and finances of their organizations.  They have been teaching less and less of the Doctrine of Truth and more and more of the Doctrine of Lies.  Some of them have gotten so far from what the Book of Truth says that they are teaching about another "Jesus" instead of the Man of Truth.  Some of them have gotten so far from what the Book of Truth says that they are following another spirit instead of the Spirit of Truth.

America is hardly unique in experiencing this loss of power for these exact same reasons.  The Father of Truth raised up ancient Israel in the same way that He raised up America when it was seeking to do all that He commanded and avoiding the practices that were contrary to Him (Deuteronomy 28:1-14).  He also started bringing ancient Israel down in the same way that America has being brought down when it turned from doing what He had spoken in His Word (Deuteronomy 28:15-24).  Ancient Israel even had the same root cause of a loss of power and that was the system of religious professionals resisting the Spirit of Truth by seeking after their own comfort and pleasure instead of defending their congregations from anything that was not from the Spirit of Truth and feeding their congregations the Word of Truth (Ezekiel 34:7-9).

So what can be done to restore the power after a loss of power?

When there is a loss of power because the electrical grid system is damaged there are only really a few options.  One of course is to wait for the electrical grid system to be fixed so that there is a restoration of power.  In the same way the religious professional system of America has been fixed at various times in the past that have resulted in national revivals that brought about a restoration of power.

However, if there was devastating damage to the electrical grid system through something like an Electric Magnetic Pulse attack so that it can no longer carry any power then the restoration of power would only be able to occur at a local level.  In the worst case, each individual location has to have a direct connection to a power source themselves like solar panels or wind mills or the like in order to experience the restoration of power.  So even though there may not be a national restoration of power there can still be local and individual restorations of power.

In like manner, when the system of religious professionals is so damaged that it can no longer carry any power then the restoration of power can only occur at a local level.  In the worst case, each individual person has to have a direct connection to the power source, the Spirit of Truth, themselves in order to experience a restoration of power.   So even though there may not be a national restoration of power there can still be local and individual restorations of power.

Every Child of Truth is saved by faith but grows by knowledge of the Word of Truth.  There are two kinds of knowledge of the Word of Truth.  When they have heart knowledge, instead of just head knowledge, about what the Word of Truth teaches about some subject then they have a direct connection to the Spirit of Truth so that power can be restored in that area of their life.

All power begins with the power that comes from the Spirit of Truth to do what the Father of Truth commands in the Law of Truth (Ezekiel 36:25-27).  The Father of Truth puts the Spirit of Truth in everyone who comes into the House of Truth so they can obey His commandments that He spoke through the Man of Truth (John 14:15-17).  People first come into the House of Truth by making the Man of Truth king of their life because they believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  After they come into the House of Truth then the power that comes from the Spirit of Truth begins operating in their lives (1 Corinthians 3:16).  If people experience a loss of power after they have come into the House of Truth then they can have a restoration of power by admitting that they have resisted the Spirit of Truth and asking for forgiveness (1 John 1:9).

Come into the House of Truth.

Another Spirit

Is every supernatural thing that happens in congregations of believers from the Spirit of Truth?

I have been at gatherings of the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) where I have seen and heard some amazing things.  I saw from about ten feet away the leg of a woman who was born with one leg shorter than the other grow about six inches with in a second or two.  I have heard people in person give some predictions about the future both short term and long term and every single one of those predictions came to pass.

I have also been at events where suddenly people would start acting drunk but when it was over they were delivered from addictions and the like that had plagued them for many years.  I have seen people fall down unconscious when some one laid hands on them and when they got up they were healed of something that the doctors had called incurable.  I have also had total strangers tell me things about my past and my present that I had never shared with anyone.  The list of things that I have seen in person at various gatherings of the Children of Truth goes on and on but it is not even really worth comparing to what some other people I know have experienced.

In most of these cases people would use expressions like "the Spirit was here in power", "I heard from the Spirit", and "the Spirit was moving among us" to express what had happened at these gatherings.  It was obvious that something supernatural had happened in the midst of the Children of Truth but does that mean that it was always the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) who made it happen?

Have you ever heard someone say that they had a dream from the Spirit of Truth and wondered if it was true?  Have you ever wondered if every miracle is a work of the Spirit of Truth?  Is it always from the Spirit of Truth when someone speaks in a supernatural manner?  Is every supernatural revelation that people get from the Spirit of Truth?  Is the Spirit of Truth the only spirit that people can receive visions from?  Is the Spirit of Truth the source of every doctrine that people get by supernatural means?  Is every prophecy that comes to pass from the Spirit of Truth?

Is it possible that another spirit could be at work right in the midst of the Children of Truth?

According to Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) it is entirely possible and even occurred right in the midst of a congregation that he had started (2 Corinthians 11:4).

Why is another spirit allowed to work in the midst of the Children of Truth?

The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) said that He would allow signs and wonders to be done in the midst of the Children of Truth by those who followed after Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) to prove who really loved Him with all of their heart, mind, soul and strength by clinging to His Word (Deuteronomy 13:1-4).  Anyone who said they spoke by the Spirit of Truth any prediction that did not come to pass or anything that lead people away from obeying His Word was speaking by another spirit (Deuteronomy 18:20-22).  The Father of Truth allows another spirit to speak lies through people who claim to speak by the Spirit of Truth in order to accomplish His will (1 Kings 22:21-24).  The Father of Truth allows people to do signs and wonders by another spirit to deceive everyone except those who cling to His Word (Matthew 24:23-25).  The Father of Truth allows people to do signs and wonders by another spirit to show which people are really His Children (Mark 13:21-23).  Even the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast) will come with signs and wonders to deceive everyone who will not believe the Word of Truth (2 Thessalonians 2:8-10). 

Does the Spirit of Truth ever work in the midst of the Children of Truth?

Make no mistake, the Spirit of Truth is supposed to work signs and wonders when the Children of Truth gather to confirm that the message of the Good News is true (Mark 16:16-18).  The Children of Truth are to filled with Spirit of Truth to do signs and wonders so that they can speak His Word with boldness (Acts 4:29-31).  They are supposed to do signs and wonders by the Spirit of Truth to bring other people into the House of Truth (Acts 5:12-15).  It is normal for signs and wonders to be done by the Spirit of Truth when they are gathered together (Acts 14:1-3).  So the Spirit of Truth should be speaking through the Children of Truth when they gather together (1 Corinthians 14:39-40).

The Spirit of Truth started confirming the Good News with signs and wonders through the Children of Truth as soon as the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) left this Earth (Mark 16:19-20).  The Spirit of Truth did signs and wonders through the Apostles of Truth to confirm that their message was from the Father of Truth (Acts 2:40-43).  It was the Spirit of Truth working signs and wonders that caused them to quickly build congregations where the Good News about the Man of Truth had not been preached before (Romans 15:18-20).  The Spirit of Truth confirmed that the Father of Truth had sent them by confirming their message with signs and wonders (2 Corinthians 12:12).  The Good News that the Man of Truth is the only means of salvation has been confirmed by the Spirit of Truth working signs and wonders (Hebrews 2:2-4). 

So are the Children of Truth supposed to believe every message that comes through supernatural means in their midst?

The Children of Truth are not supposed to prevent the Spirit of Truth from operating in their gatherings nor are they supposed to prevent people from giving supernatural messages but they are supposed to test what is said to be sure that it was not given by another spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21).  The Children of Truth are not supposed to just believe everything that someone in their gatherings said came from the Spirit of Truth but are supposed to test the message to see if it came from another spirit (1 John 4:1). 

So how can they test the message to know if it is from the Spirit of Truth or another spirit?

It is the spirit of the world, another spirit, who teaches things contrary to what the Spirit of Truth teaches from the Book of Truth (The Bible) (1 Corinthians 2:11-13). The gift of the Spirit of Truth was given to the Children of Truth to bring them to a sound mind but another spirit is at work to bring them into fear (2 Timothy 1:6-7).  Any doctrine that contradicts the written Word of Truth is from another spirit to create envy, strife, confusion and division among the Children of Truth (James 3:14-16). 

No one can say that people must make the Man of Truth the ruler over their lives when they are speaking by another spirit while no one can speak ill of him while speaking by the Spirit of Truth (1 Corinthians 12:3).  Anyone who teaches others to not obey what is written in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) is doing so by another spirit instead of the Spirit of Truth (Jude 1:17-19).

The Spirit of Truth witnesses that that the Man of Truth has already came to this Earth as the Messiah while another spirit teaches that the Messiah has not came yet to this Earth so that people will accept the Man of Lies as the Messiah (1 John 4:2-3).  The Spirit of Truth witnesses that the teachings of the Apostles of Truth written in the Renewed Covenant must be obeyed while another spirit witnesses that these teachings do not have to be obeyed (1 John 4:6). 

What does the Spirit of Truth do?

The Spirit of Truth creates a new heart in the Children of Truth so that they can obey the Father of Truth when they repent (Ezekiel 11:18-20).  The Spirit of Truth was sent to give them a new heart when they repent because the Father of Truth has no desire to destroy anyone as they deserve for their rebellion against Him (Ezekiel 18:30-32).  The Spirit of Truth was sent to remove every trace of filthiness that came from idol worship from their hearts so they can obey His commandments (Ezekiel 36:25-27).  This makes them able obey the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) by the newness of the Spirit of Truth instead of the oldness of constantly struggling to obey it by the letter (Romans 7:6).  The Spirit of Truth writes the Law of Truth on the hearts of the Children of Truth so that everyone can see that their lives are different (2 Corinthians 3:2-4).  The Spirit of Truth writing the Law of Truth on their hearts brings life to the Children of Truth while the letter of the Law of the Law being written on stone could only bring only death (2 Corinthians 3:5-8).  The Spirit of Truth will always lead people into living in the House of Truth that comes believing the prophecies written in the Book of Truth concerning the Man of Truth (Revelation 19:10).

What does another spirit do?

Another spirit will seek to get the Children of Truth to whore against the Father of Truth by taking up practices that came from idol worship and committing sexual sin (Hosea 4:12-14).  Another spirit seeks to prevent those who have turned from the Father of Truth to repenting of their sin so that they come to know Him (Hosea 5:4).  Another spirit will always lead people into committing sexual sin and adopting customs from idolatry that is taught by the religion started in Babylon (Revelation 18:2-3).

What do those who operate by the Spirit of Truth do?

The Spirit of Truth operates supernaturally through people when the Children of Truth are gathered together and will even cause some to discern when others are operating by another spirit (1 Corinthians 12:8-10).  Those who do supernatural things by the Spirit of Truth will lead the Children of Truth into repentance from those things that are opposed by the Man of Truth (2 Corinthians 12:18-21).

When the Spirit of Truth speaks through someone they are still in control of their own spirit so they can yield to the Spirit of Truth in an orderly manner instead of creating confusion (1 Corinthians 14:31-33).  Those who speak by the Spirit of Truth will always lead people into further obedience of what is written in the Renewed Covenant by the Apostles of Truth instead of pretending to have some revelation that contradicts the written Word of Truth (1 Corinthians 14:36-38).

What do those who operate by another spirit do?

Those who speak by another spirit speak lies to turn people from hearing the warnings of the Prophets of Truth (2 Chronicles 18:20-22).  Those who speak by another spirit often claim to operate by the Spirit of Truth (2 Chronicles 18:23).  Those who speak by another spirit try to get people to trust in a lie instead of the Word of Truth (Jeremiah 28:15).  Those who prophesy by another spirit in the midst of the Children of Truth will say things that make no more sense than the rantings of a drunkard (Micah 2:11).  It is another spirit that speaks lies though these Prophets of Lies in the midst of the Children of Truth (Zechariah 13:2).  Those who speak by another spirit deny that a day is coming when the Man of Truth will punish those who followed another spirit into disobedience and will reward those who followed the Spirit of Truth into obedience (2 Thessalonians 1:9-10).  Those who speak by another spirit will teach that there is no rapture or literal return of the Man of Truth to this Earth to literally rule over the entire human race but that he has already came and is ruling "spiritually" over only the Children of Truth (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2).  Those who speak through another spirit are speaking by the Spirits of Lies just like the Man of Lies, the Prophet of Lies (the False Prophet) and the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) will do when they speak supernaturally (Revelation 16:13). 

Those who do supernatural things by another spirit do so to lead the Children of Truth into following another "Jesus" who is different from the Man of Truth (2 Corinthians 11:2-4).  Those who perform miracles by another spirit lead people away from what is written in the Renewed Covenant by Spirits of Lies just like those who will do miracles to lead the kings of the Earth into joining forces with the Man of Lies against the Father of Truth (Revelation 16:14).

What should the Children of Truth do when someone starts operating by another spirit in their midst?

A man can speak by another spirit in the midst of the Children of Truth and acknowledge that the Man of Truth was sent by the Father of Truth (Mark 1:23-24).  Yet the Man of Truth does not accept the testimony of someone who speaks by another spirit among the Children of Truth (Luke 4:33-35).  In like manner a woman who spoke by another spirit told everyone that the Apostles of Truth had been sent by the Father of Truth to show people how to be saved but the Apostles of Truth would not accept the testimony of someone who spoke by another spirit (Acts 16:16-18).

The Children of Truth are to have nothing to do with anything that comes from another spirit (2 Corinthians 6:14-15).  The Father of Truth promises that those who come into the House of Truth by separating themselves from everything that comes from another spirit will live with Him forever as His Children (2 Corinthians 6:16-18).  The Children of Truth need to do all that they can to get away from the polluted Doctrine of Lies that came from another spirit because they have these promises in the Doctrine of Truth that came from the Spirit of Truth (2 Corinthians 7:1).

Why is it so important to test everything to avoid anything that comes from another spirit?

The Spirit of Truth says that the Man of Truth will not return to this Earth until after many of the Children of Truth have left the House of Truth to follow another spirit and the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast) has done his will on this Earth (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).  The Spirit of Truth says that some shall leave the House of Truth by giving heed to another spirit that teaches the same Doctrine of Lies that is taught by the False Church of Rome (1 Timothy 4:1-3).

Those who do those things that are opposed by the Man of Truth are following after another spirit, the Father of Lies, to do the same things as the rest of the world (Ephesians 2:1-3).  For example, the Man of Truth opposes all sexual activity outside of a legitimate marriage between a man and a woman (1 Thessalonians 4:3-6).  Anyone who says anything contrary to his doctrine on this matter is speaking by another spirit that despises His Father (1 Thessalonians 4:7-8).

The Book of Truth teaches that the Man of Truth will physically return to this Earth to destroy all of those who were lead by another spirit into not obeying the Good News (2 Thessalonians 1:6-8).  Those who fall into disobedience through doctrine that came from another spirit will be destroyed because they have despised the Spirit of Truth (Hebrews 10:26-29).

How can people start following the Spirit of Truth instead of another spirit?

The Man of Truth is that Prophet of Truth promised to Israel who would only speak by the Spirit of Truth so that the Father of Truth would hold anyone accountable who does obey him (Deuteronomy 18:17-19).  The Spirit of Truth worked signs and wonders through the Man of Truth and then the Father of Truth raised him from the dead to confirm that he is the Messiah of Israel (Acts 2:22-24).  The Spirit of Truth has spoken by the Prophets of Truth that the Man of Truth will return to rule this Earth when Israel comes into the House of Truth (Acts 3:19-21).  Every Jew who will not accept the one that the Spirit of Truth spoke through Moses about will be destroyed from among the people of Israel (Acts 3:22-23).  The Spirit of Truth has spoken through the Prophets of Truth that both Jews and Gentiles can only come into the House of Truth through faith in the Man of Truth (Acts 3:24-26).  The Apostles of Truth have taught the same thing as the Prophets of Truth by the same Spirit of Truth that the Man of Truth is the only way for anyone to come into the House of Truth (Acts 26:22-23).  They are teaching the same message by the Spirit of Truth as the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) - that anyone who makes the Man of Truth lord of their lives because they believed the Father of Truth raised him from the dead will come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:8-10).

Come into the House of Truth.

Another Jesus

Why does almost every religion in the world have someone named "Jesus"?

Religions that existed before the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) was born have retrofitted a "Jesus" into their religions.  Religions that came after the Man of Truth left this Earth have all had someone named "Jesus" in them.

Islam tells of a "Jesus" that is coming to wipe out the Christians and Jews.  The Hindus and Buddhists tell of a "Jesus" who was a teacher of those religions.  The Mormons tell of a "Jesus" that came to North America after he ascended to Heaven.  The Hare Krishna religion says that "Jesus" was one of them first.  The Ba'ahi have their own version of "Jesus".   Even Judaism has a "Messiah" who has not came to the Earth yet but will do many things when he comes that are similar what the Man of Truth will do when he returns to rule this Earth.

There have also been cults that sprung up around people who all called themselves "Jesus".  There was even a woman in Russia who called herself by the feminine version of "Jesus" and had her followers crucify her before the Russian police hauled her off to the mental institute.  The list goes on and on.

The first question that comes to mind is why do they all have a "Jesus"?  I mean Islam is the only religion with a "Mohammed".  You do not see other religions retrofitting themselves with a "Buddha".  You do not see the idols of Hinduism being adopted by other religions like Islam.  Yet all of these religions have someone named "Jesus".

The obvious reason for these religions having or adding someone named "Jesus" and not doing so with other religious figures is the same reason that criminals counterfeit one hundred dollar bills but no one counterfeits three dollar bills.   There is no reason to counterfeit something unless it is real.

However, there is one more religion that has multiple groups within it promoting another "Jesus", who is different from the Man of Truth, who is told about in pages of the Book of Truth (The Bible).  This is a religion that most people would never suspect of promoting another "Jesus".  That religion is "Christianity". (I mean this in the widest sense of the term as understood by people of other religions).

This should be no surprise.  Paul the Jew (Shual aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) warned that people among the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) were preaching another "Jesus" in his day (2 Corinthians 11:4).  What are some of the groups who the world would call part of the Christian religion that teach another "Jesus"?

The False Church of Rome promotes a Greco-Roman "Jesus" that teaches traditions from Greco-Roman idolatry.  What does the Book of Truth say about this "Jesus"?

The nation of Israel, later called the Jews, were cast out of the Promised Land for making idols and worshiping them (Acts 7:41-43).  The Gentiles who turned to the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) were commanded to keep away from the pollution of idols (Acts 15:19-20).  No idol can be made that represents Him, The Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) or the Man of Truth in worship (Acts 17:29-31).  No one in His Family is to worship an idol - even if it has been named "Jesus" (1 Corinthians 5:11).  The Father of Truth was not pleased with those who worshiped an idol in the wilderness so he destroyed many of them so we can know for certain that He is not pleased with those who worship a Greco-Roman idol that was renamed "Jesus" (1 Corinthians 10:5-7).  Therefore the Children of Truth are commanded to flee from idolatry - even if the idol has been renamed "Jesus" (1 Corinthians 10:14).  The Children of Truth are to have absolutely nothing to do with the practices of idol worship even if the idol has been renamed "Jesus" (2 Corinthians 6:15-17).  Those who worship an idol that someone else has renamed "Jesus" will not inherit His Kingdom (Galatians 5:19-21).  Those who worship an idol renamed as "Jesus" will inherit the wrath of the Father of Truth instead of the kingdom of the Man of Truth (Ephesians 5:5-6).  Those who have completely abandon worshiping idols, even ones renamed "Jesus", to follow the Man of Truth are the Children of Truth who will be saved from the wrath of the Father of Truth (1 Thessalonians 1:9-10).  The Man of Truth came to this Earth so that the Children of Truth could keep away an idols - even ones named "Jesus" (1 John 5:20-21).  Those who worship idols, even ones that the False Church of Rome renamed as "Jesus", will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 21:8).

Some groups promote a pop psychology "Jesus" who says that people are basically good on the inside but just behave badly because of their environment.  What does the Book of Truth say about this "Jesus"? 

People are not born as being basically good but rather they are born with a heart that is exceedingly wicked and deceitful above all things (Jeremiah 17:9).  The Man of Truth knows the evil that is in the hearts of people (John 2:24-25).  This is why he said that people must be born again to come into the kingdom of His Father (John 3:3).  This is the Father of Truth sent His Son to pay the death penalty for the evil that everyone is born with (Romans 5:8).  This is why His Son, who did nothing evil, had to be counted as evil so we could stop being evil (2 Corinthians 5:21).  Anyone who says that people are anything other than evil without the Man of Truth changing them is simply a liar (1 John 1:8-10).  If people were not born evil then there would have been no need for the death of the lamb.

Some groups promote a inclusive "Jesus" who would never send anyone to Hell for rejecting him.  What does the Book of Truth say about this "Jesus"?

The Man of Truth says that people should fear His Father more than any person because He is able to cast people into Hell (Matthew 10:28).  The Man of Truth said the inhabitants of Capernaum would be cast into Hell for rejecting him (Matthew 11:23).  The Man of Truth said that people should do whatever it takes to avoid being cast into Hell (Matthew 18:7-9).  The Man of Truth said that those who killed the Prophets of Truth and him would be cast into Hell (Matthew 23:31-33).  When the Man of Truth returns to this Earth he will cast everyone into Hell who did not help the Jewish people during the tribulation (Matthew 25:31-46).  The Man of Truth said that he was the only way to come to the Father of Truth (John 14:6).  People cannot escape Hell if they neglect the only means of salvation that the Father of Truth has provided (Hebrews 2:2-4).  The Father of Truth did not spare the Angels of Lies who rebelled against Him and He not spare those who reject His Son (2 Peter 2:4).  Only those who make His Son their king will enter into the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:25-27).  The Man of Truth plainly will put people in the Chamber of Horrors for rejecting him.

Some groups promote a social justice "Jesus" who wants his followers to feed the poor and do good works but never confront anyone about their sin.  What does the Book of Truth say about this "Jesus"?

The Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) said that not confronting people when they sin is showing them hatred (Leviticus 19:17).  It is by people turning from sin that causes them to be saved (Ezekiel 18:27-28).  The Man of Truth did not teach anything that was different than what the Law of Truth taught (Matthew 5:17-19).  This is why the Man of Truth told people how to confront someone when they sin against them (Matthew 18:15-18).  This is why the Man of Truth commissioned the Children of Truth to tell other people to repent (Luke 24:45-47).  The Father of Truth has given the gift of the opportunity to repent so that people can be saved (Acts 11:18).  Whoever turns people away from sin that causes them to be saved (James 5:19-20).  The only reason the Father of Truth has delayed judgment upon the world is to give people a chance to turn from sin (2 Peter 3:8-10).   Anyone who takes care of the physical needs of people without confronting them about their sin is guilty of the worst kind of hatred.

Some groups promote a tolerant "Jesus" who would never tell anyone that their lifestyle is wicked.  What does the Book of Truth say about this "Jesus"?

The Father of Truth said in the Law of Truth that those who engage in homosexuality, adultery, and the like are worthy of death (Leviticus 20:10-17).  The Man of Truth taught the same doctrine as His Father (John 7:16-17).  The Man of Truth only said the same things as His Father (John 12:48-50).  The Man of Truth said that people must do what His Father says (John 14:23-24).  The Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) still says that those who engage in homosexuality, adultery, and the like are worthy of death (Romans 1:26-32).  Those who engage in a lifestyle like that homosexuality, heterosexual sex outside of marriage, adultery, cross dressing, and the like will not be allowed into the kingdom of the Man of Truth (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).  The Man of Truth is in no way tolerant of those who live like they were married in Sodom.

Some groups promote a prosperity "Jesus" who is much more concerned with people experiencing health and wealth than living a life of holiness and selfless sacrifice for the good of other people.  What does the Book of Truth say about this "Jesus"?

The Man of Truth promised persecution in this world for all of the Children of Truth (Matthew 5:10-12).  The Man of Truth said that following him would separate people from their family (Matthew 10:34-36).  The Man of Truth said that following him would cost a person everything they have - including their very life (Matthew 10:37-39).  The Man of Truth said the world would hate the Children of Truth because it hated him (John 15:18-20).  Stephen got rocks - not riches - for following the Man of Truth (Acts 7:57-60).  Paul the Jew experienced a lack of the very necessities of life for following the Man of Truth (1 Corinthians 4:11-13).  Paul the Jew suffered endless persecution for following the Man of Truth (2 Corinthians 11:23-27).  Paul the Jew learned to rely upon of the Man of Truth even when he suffered from lack of the bare necessities of life (Philippians 4:11-13).  The promise of the Father of Truth is that everyone who lives in the House of Truth with His Son will suffer persecution of some sort - even if no one puts that promise on their fridge or confesses it daily (2 Timothy 3:12).  The main concern of the Father of Truth is that His children live lives that reflect His Holy Character - not their comfort (1 Peter 1:14-16).  It is normal for the Children of Truth to suffer persecution rather experiencing health and wealth (1 Peter 4:12-14).  The Children of Truth are supposed to lay down their lives and possessions for each other in selfless sacrifice just as the Man of Truth laid down his life in selfless sacrifice for them (1 John 3:16-18).  The Man of Truth and His Father want the Children of Truth giving what they have to take care of people out of love instead of just giving to get.

 Some groups promote a Rabbinic "Jesus", that they usually call by his Angolonized Hebrew name "Yeshua" , who leads people into adopting the customs of Rabbinic Judaism.  What does the Book of Truth say about this "Jesus"?

The Man of Truth said that the Children of Truth were to beware of the doctrine of the Pharisees that Rabbinical Judaism is built upon (Matthew 16:11-12).  The Man of Truth said for the Children of Truth to not to call anyone but him "Rabbi" because that title belonged to him alone (Matthew 23:8-10).  The Man of Truth called those who taught Rabbinic Judaism blind guides that lead people to Hell with their distortion of the Law of Truth (Matthew 23:15-17).  The Man of Truth said that teaching people to ignore the weightier matters of the Law to take care of the lessor matters of the Law was another reason that those who taught Rabbinic Judaism were blind guides (Matthew 23:23-25).  The Man of Truth said that the traditions of Rabbinic Judaism were contrary to the Law of Truth (Mark 7:10-13).  The Man of Truth did nothing except preach against Rabbinic Distort.

The fact is that all of these groups are all preaching another "Jesus" who has no resemblance to the Man of Truth who is written about in the Book of Truth.  Everyone of these groups who are preaching another "Jesus" are teaching the Doctrine of Lies.

The only way to avoid being trapped into following another "Jesus" is to come into the House of Truth.  You come into the House of Truth when you surrender your life to the Man of Truth who the Book of Truth tells about because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).   You come to know the genuine instead of the counterfeit by learning the Doctrine of Truth in the House of Truth.  The moment you come into the House of Truth you will be saved by faith, but grow by knowledge as you remain in the House of Truth.  You learn by experience in the House of Truth that there are two kinds of knowledge and it is heart knowledge will keep you from following another "Jesus".

Come into the House of Truth.

Two Kinds Of Knowledge

Why do people waver in their decisions?

For example, not long after I came into the House of Truth I learned about the pagan roots of Christmas and decided that I should not be celebrating Christmas.  The truth is that I never really liked Christmas very much so it was no big deal for me to stop celebrating Christmas.  After all, learning about the pagan roots of Christmas gave me a good reason to stop doing something that I had never enjoyed in the first place.

As time went on, I grew up from being a baby in the House of Truth to be more and more like the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) year after year.  Early on I was baptized in the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) and began producing the sound of power even though I had never heard anyone speak in tongues before and did not even know that it was possible.  This changed how I saw everything like my total surrender to the Man of Truth that brought me into the House of Truth had changed how I saw everything.

Still I had trouble being certain that I was hearing the voice of the Spirit of Truth at times.  Even though I had the Spirit of Truth living in me and pulsing power through me there were distractions that were like static on a distant AM radio station when I tried to tune into to hear from the Spirit of Truth.  I still lived in a body that still wanted to do whatever it wanted instead of what the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) wanted.  I still lived in a world that was in rebellion against the Father of Truth.  I still had to contend with the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) who can be so subtle in leading people away from the truth.   I still got conflicting answers from religious professionals about various subjects including Christmas.

The fact is that many of these religious professionals helped me a great deal in various areas of my life.  They encouraged me to study the Book of Truth (The Bible) to find out the truth about my concerns.  They showed me how to know when I was hearing from the Spirit of Truth.  They taught me that the Spirit of Truth would never contradict the Book of Truth but would instead lead me into the truth found in the Book of Truth.  Still these religious professionals were really just men like myself and were also prone to human error.

So along with the truth that I learned from these religious professionals they also persuaded me to go back to celebrating Christmas.  They knew of some of the pagan practices used in Christmas celebrations and some of them suspected that Christmas was not when the Man of Truth was born.

Yet they also pointed out the many good things about Christmas as well including the fact that Christmas was the only opportunity in the whole year to tell some people about the Man of Truth.  I had witnessed people coming down to the altar after Christmas presentations and surrendering control of their lives to the Man of Truth.  I witnessed how they were delivered instantly from alcoholism, drug addiction and the like.  In short, Christmas had been used to deliver people from the monster within that was destroying their lives.  I knew for certain that these people had not been delivered from the Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) by the power of the Father of Lies (Matthew 12:26).  The position of these religious professionals that it did not matter to the Father of Truth that His children were celebrating the birthday of His Son in the wrong month and using pagan customs to do so as long as they were honoring His Son seemed to be true.

I had a similar experience when it came to which day of the week to celebrate the Sabbath on.  Those who were for Sunday had answers that seemed to support the idea that the Father of Truth had changed the day of rest from the original Sabbath (Saturday) to the day that the Man of Truth rose from the dead (Sunday).  They even referred to three verses from the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) that seemed to support their position.

Now things are different.  I have become like the Mensch who killed Christmas and will never go back to celebrating Christmas.  I have finally determined how to go about cleaning up the Christmas mess.  In like manner, I have been observing the actual Sabbath (Saturday) for a long time now.

So what is different now?  Why did I go back and forth about Christmas before while now I no longer waver between two opinions?  Why am I am now as firm as a rock on my resolve to not celebrate Christmas?  Why can I never go back to treating Sunday as the Sabbath?

The difference is the type of knowledge that I operated under for there are two kinds of knowledge.  When I was only operating on natural knowledge like the facts about the pagan sources of Christmas then I could be persuaded by natural reasoning since the Spirit of Truth had plainly moved to bring people into the House of Truth despite the pagan practices.

It was when I investigated the Book of Truth for myself to see if the Father of Truth cared or not that we were celebrating the birthday of His son on a day that was plainly not his birthday and using pagan practices to do so that things changed.  It was learning the Doctrine of Truth about how the Father of Truth felt about these things that changed everything.

I learned that the Father of Truth wanted everything that had to do with the worship idols destroyed but to not do so with everything that comes from Him (Deuteronomy 12:2-4).  I learned that the Father of Truth did not want His Children using the practices of idol worship when they were worshiping Him (Deuteronomy 12:29-31).  I learned that the Father of Truth did not want His Children to learn to practices that came from idolatry like putting up a Christmas tree that obviously is a rehearsal of the ancient practice of putting up an idol (Jeremiah 10:2-5).  I learned that the Spirit of Truth said that it was necessary for the Children of Truth to abstain from even eating food associated with idolatry (Acts 15:28-29).  I learned that the Apostles of Truth taught that the Children of Truth should not be joining in things like the traditional Christmas dinner that is an obvious rehearsal of the ancient feast to the Spirits of Lies that was eaten on the day that was falsely assigned as the birthday of the Man of Truth (1 Corinthians 10:19-21).  I learned that the Man of Truth dealt severely with those who first taught the Children of Truth to participate in these feasts (Revelation 2:20-23).

When I learned that the practices of Christmas were questionable based on head knowledge that came from reading human sources then I was able to be convinced to go along with those practices.  However, when I learned that the practices of Christmas were repulsive to the Father of Truth based on heart knowledge that came learning the Doctrine of Truth then I found these practices to also be too repulsive for me to participate in.   So it was learning the Doctrine of Truth that has made my resolve unshakable because this was heart knowledge instead of just head knowledge.

The situation with the Sabbath also demonstrated the difference between head knowledge and heart knowledge in the opposite way.  In this case, I had been visiting different congregations that met on the Sabbath every few months for about a period of ten years.  At every single congregation, I told them why I thought that the Father of Truth had changed the Sabbath to Sunday in the Renewed Covenant based on three passages in the Renewed Covenant.  I asked them to show me in the Renewed Covenant why that was not the case .

In particular, I wanted to know why it appeared that the Father of Truth had changed the day of the Sabbath in the Renewed Covenant if He had not done so.  I showed them my three passages.  The answers that most of them gave me were based off of traditions that they had either grown up with or had learned in their congregations.

I heard many explanations but not one time did anyone actually show me from the Renewed Covenant why that was not the case.  Not once, in ten years time, visiting more than twenty congregations that met on the actual Sabbath (Saturday), did I find anyone who could answer my questions from the Renewed Covenant.  The truth is their reasons for meeting on Saturday were really no better than the reasons other people gave for meeting on Sunday.  In fact, they were worse in that some of the Sunday people were doing so based these passages in the Renewed Covenant to the best of their understanding while the Saturday people could not explain why the Sunday people were wrong in their understanding of those passages.  They were unable to convince me that the Father of Truth had not changed the Sabbath to Sunday in the Renewed Covenant because they were only operating on head knowledge and that is all that they could use to persuade me.

What changed was when I was making my timeline of the Apostolic Age.  I was tracking the movements of Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) when I got a point where I was stuck.  I had carefully researched how far people could walk in a day in each area, how far it was between cities listed in the Renewed Covenant using the existing roads, and the exact date of certain events like the Feasts of Truth.  I came across a case where Paul the Jew had to be in the next city by one of the Feasts of Truth and there was simply not enough time if he left on Monday after preaching on Sunday.  I became very frustrated and rechecked all of my facts to see where I had made an error.  I could not find one.  Finally, I prayed out loud in frustration "Lord, I cannot make this work!".  Unexpectedly I heard the voice of the Man of Truth and he said, "That is because they met on Saturday and not on Sunday".  I was stunned but that did make things work out.

I started bringing up my objections and the Spirit of Truth told me to examine those passages carefully.  One of them did not even say in English what I had thought it had said but I had heard it wrong so many times that I was blind to the obvious.  Then the Spirit of Truth had me read the other passages in the original Greek where I found some issues with the translation of one the passages.  Then the Spirit of Truth directed me as I researched the historical context of the key phrases in the those passages.  In about an hour the Spirit of Truth was able to answer my question that countless observers of the Sabbath on Saturday had not been able to answer over a ten year period.  After that, there was no going back to believing that the Father of Truth had changed the Sabbath to Sunday.

You see now I had heart knowledge that the Sabbath had never been changed in the Renewed Covenant based on the Doctrine of Truth instead of just head knowledge based on the opinions of other people.  Again, head knowledge is based on what other people say while heart knowledge is based on what the Spirit of Truth says.  Head knowledge can waver but heart knowledge is unmovable.

Now make no mistake, I did somehow become more saved because I fled from the idolatrous practices of Christmas.  I did not come into the House of Truth through any means other than faith in the Man of Truth.  It is just that when the Spirit of Truth lead me into the Doctrine of Truth concerning Christmas that I grew to be more like the Man of Truth in my dealings with Christmas.   The Children of Truth do not become saved by increasing their knowledge of the Doctrine of Truth.  They are saved by faith but grow by knowledge.

I also did not become more saved by finally grasping the truth about the Sabbath.  The truth is that it is easy to come to the wrong conclusion based on those verses without doing a lot of study.  It took the Spirit of Truth directing me, a lot of study, and years of preparation before that day, just so I could find out who changed the Sabbath.

In this case the translators themselves had done the best job possible to translate those more difficult Greek phrases without the benefit of the historical and cultural context. They could not just get on the Internet like I did and find out what the literal translation meant.  They probably did not have the benefit of living in Greece like I had when I was immersed in Greek culture for more than two years.  They were not Jewish and probably had limited access to learn about Jewish customs.  The translators were so careful in their translation that if anything was in doubt or added for clarity they had put it in italics so the reader would know that.  (In the most difficult Greek phrase they had added the word "day" for clarification but italicized it so the reader would know this was the case.)  This was simply a case of human error even though they did the best job that they could.  This was nothing like the one disturbing sentence that is in many modern translations.  They were not guilty of adding to the Doctrine of Lies.

The same could be said for those religious professionals who had convinced me to resume celebrating Christmas.  In fact, if it was not for those religious professionals teaching me how to really study the Book of Truth and how to hear the Spirit of Truth then I would be still celebrating Christmas and thinking that the Father of Truth had changed the Sabbath to Sunday.  Those who opposed those things had only given me human reasoning that was not that different from the human reasoning that the supporters of those things had given.  I have heart knowledge that has erased every doubt about Christmas and the Sabbath being on Saturday because I was enabled to do so by what I had learned from the religious professionals who celebrated Christmas and thought that the Sabbath had been moved to Sunday!

The Spirit of Truth used their Christmas celebrations and Sunday sermons to bring people into the House of Truth because they were operating out of ignorance and not rebellion.  The Father of Truth simply does not require people to get everything right all the time in order to use them.  If He did then the Man of Truth would be the only person he could have ever used.  Thinking that people must get the deeper understanding of the Doctrine of Truth before they can come into the House of Truth or lead others into the House of Truth is putting the cart before the Horse.

The truth is many times the Children of Truth may have some things right but it is only based on head knowledge.  It is a whole lot easier to acquire head knowledge than heart knowledge.  Some of them have not yet acquired the skills to make gaining heart knowledge easier.   However most of them are really just too lazy to get heart knowledge.  It is far easier to get head knowledge based off what some person says about the Book of Truth than to get heart knowledge based off what the Spirit of Truth says about the Book of Truth.

Some things require help from the Spirit of Truth to understand (1 Corinthians 2:10-12).  Some things can only be understood by studying the Book of Truth in depth (2 Timothy 2:15).  Some things in the Book of Truth are just hard to understand (2 Peter 3:15-16).

This certainly does not mean that the religious professionals have no place in people getting heart knowledge.  People must hear the Word of Truth before they can come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:14).  Religious professionals are the main way that most people come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:17).  The Father of Truth gave religious professionals to the Children of Truth for the very purpose of helping people have heart knowledge of the Doctrine of Truth (Ephesians 4:11-14).

It is just that the Children of Truth are not to be lazy and believe whatever the religious professionals tell them without verifying that it is true for themselves so that they only end up with head knowledge.  The Bereans were called more noble than others for not just taking the word of Paul the Jew (Shual aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) and Silas the Jew (Silvanus) but searching the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament), the only part of the Book of Truth they had, to see if what these Apostles of Truth told them was true before the Bereans believed their message (Acts 17:10-12).   The Children of Truth are to test everything against the Book of Truth so that they can have heart knowledge of the Doctrine of Truth (1 Thessalonians 5:21).  (This is why I give links to every scripture I reference in this blog.)
  
Heart knowledge comes from getting the Word of Truth into your heart (Luke 8:12).  Heart knowledge comes from believing what the Prophets of Truth spoke in the Book of Truth (Luke 24:25).  Heart knowledge comes from believing in the Man of Truth (Acts 8:37).  Heart knowledge comes from believing what is in the Book of Truth with the heart while head knowledge comes from knowing what is in the Book of Truth with the mind (Romans 10:10).

Heart knowledge only comes from knowing what the entire Book of Truth that the Father of Truth gave says about a subject (2 Timothy 3:14-17).  The Book of Truth is a more sure word of prophecy from the Spirit of Truth than hearing the Father of Truth speak out of the clouds in person (2 Peter 1:17-21).  Any message that anyone gives, even by supernatural means, that does not agree with what is written in the Book of Truth is not from the Spirit of Truth (1 John 4:1-3).

Heart knowledge comes from what the Spirit of Truth says about the Book of Truth.  The Father of Truth gave the Spirit of Truth to the Children of Truth so they could have heart knowledge of everything in the Book of Truth (Ezekiel 11:19-20).  The Spirit of Truth will lead the Children of Truth into heart knowledge of the Doctrine of Truth when they are mature enough to learn it (John 16:12-14).  The Spirit of Truth writes the Doctrine of Truth upon the hearts of the Children of Truth (2 Corinthians 3:2-4).  The Spirit of Truth only writes the Doctrine of Truth that is found in the Book of Truth upon the hearts of the Children of Truth (1 John 4:5-7).

The truth is anyone who really wants to have heart knowledge of the Doctrine of Truth can have it.  The Father of Truth, who is the source of all truth, promises that anyone who seeks Him with all their heart by repenting of their sin will find Him no matter what they have done (Deuteronomy 4:28-30).   The Father of Truth wants you to find Him by coming into the House of Truth so He can do good to you as He has always planned (Jeremiah 29:11-13).  The Father of Truth will clean your heart so the Spirit of Truth can cause you to have heart knowledge of everything in the Book of Truth (Ezekiel 36:25-27).  The Man of Truth is the only way to come into the House of Truth and live with the Father of Truth (John 14:6).   Heart knowledge begins when you come into the House of Truth by surrendering control of your life to the Man of Truth because you believe the Doctrine of Truth with your heart that says the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  The Father of Truth send the Spirit of Truth to live in everyone who comes into the House of Truth (Galatians 4:6).

Come into the House of Truth.
