The Indestructible Book

Why has no one been able to destroy the Book of Truth (The Bible)?

There used to be a Bible museum in Tulsa that told the story of the journey from original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts to the creation of the 1769 King James version of the Bible commonly used in America.  The exhibits were laid out in chronological order from the oldest artifacts to the newest artifacts.

All through these exhibits there was also another story interweaved in the displays of the relentless efforts to destroy or suppress the Book of Truth.

There were great efforts by governments to gather and burn every copy of the Book of Truth to destroy it off of the land.  There were efforts to suppress the Book of Truth by passing laws that only allowed religious professionals to read or teach from it.  There were extraordinary efforts by governments to ban the Book of Truth from being printed or read by anyone.

Yet the Book of Truth continued to be translated, printed and read by an ever increasing number of people.

The museum focus especially on the terror that was perpetrated on translators of the Book of Truth, particularly into English, as well as those who sought to distribute those translations. 

Most of the people involved in the making the Book of Truth readable to the average person in their own language were persecuted in some way by either the False Church of Rome or its rebellious daughter in England.  Some were expelled from their homes and forced to flee far away from their friends and family.  Some were attacked financially to the point of losing everything and dying in poverty.  Some were stripped of their credentials and lost their positions of influence.  Some were imprisoned for long periods of time.  Some were brutally tortured and executed.

Yet none of these efforts were successful in stopping the Book of Truth from being translated and distributed so more people could read it for themselves.

The museum also showed how a similar pattern occurred in other places including Muslim empires, Nazi Germany, and Russia.  Most of the mightiest empires in history from the Roman Empire to the USSR have tried in vain to either destroy the Book of Truth or suppress the Book of Truth and all of them have failed.  These empires and their reigns of terror all came to an end but the Book of Truth continued to grow in distribution until it has became by far the most printed book in the history of mankind.

The museum showed a lot more than just how English translations of the Book of Truth came from Hebrew and Greek source documents.  It showed how all the efforts to destroy the Book of Truth had only caused the Book of Truth to increase in the number of translations of it, increase in the number of copies of it and how it has continued to be read by an ever increasing number of people.  If I had named the museum then I would have named it, "The Museum of the Indestructible Book".

Why has no government, no church, no organization or no individual been able to destroy the Book of Truth?

After all, there are many books that are not near as old that have disappeared from existence without anyone purposely trying to get rid of them.  Some of the most popular and famous works of antiquity are now only known by other books that have survived to modern times.  Most of their content has been lost except for what is quoted in later works.  Many of them are only known by references to their names without any of their actual content being known.  The few works that have survived from even the fourth century AD are mostly maintained by academics who have kept them from perishing altogether.  Their popularity has long since waned to the point that only a few people even bother to read them.  They have come close to vanishing without anyone persecuting those who seek to translate and publish them.

Yet the Book of Truth has only grown year after year, century after century, in every aspect despite all of the efforts to destroy it and the efforts to prevent its translation and publication.  What has caused the Book of Truth to become The Indestructible Book?

The Book of Truth contains the everlasting covenant that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) made with Abraham (Abram) to give the descendants of Israel the Promised Land and to bring salvation to the entire human race.  The details of the events that lead up to this covenant, the details of this covenant, the efforts made so far to fulfill this covenant and the plan to ultimately bring every detail of this covenant to pass are woven throughout the inseparable covenants that form the two major divisions of the Book of Truth.

The Father of Truth first gave the words of the Book of Truth to Moses out of a thick cloud so that the people of Israel could believe his testimony forever (Exodus 19:7-9).  They were given these words so they could be blessed by the Father of Truth forever for their obedience (Deuteronomy 12:28).  These words were revealed so that His commandments could be obeyed forever (Deuteronomy 29:29).

The Father of Truth gave the words of the Book of Truth to confirm that the house of King David would be established to rule over the people of Israel in the Promised Land forever (2 Samuel 7:24-26).  He gave these words so that His deeds and covenant could be remembered forever (Psalm 105:5-8).  The words He gave are settled forever in Heaven to govern the universe (Psalm 119:89-91).  The words He gave in the Book of Truth have always been true and they will last forever (Psalm 119:160).

The Father of Truth will perform everything that He has promised in the Book of Truth regardless of what people do (Deuteronomy 9:5).  The Father of Truth has made an eternal record that He has performed every promise in due time (1 Kings 8:18-20).  He works behind the scenes to perform everything that He says (2 Chronicles 10:13-15).   He brought the descendants of Israel into the Promised Land the first time to provide a record that He performs His words that are recorded in the Book of Truth (Nehemiah 9:8).

He has confirmed the words that He had the Prophets of Truth record in the Book of Truth and performed what He has spoken through them to return the Jews to Israel so that all men would know that He alone made everything and redeems the human race (Isaiah 44:24-26).  He has His words recorded in the Book of Truth before He ever performs them so that all will know that He causes His words to come to pass (Isaiah 46:9-11).  He makes sure that He performs every word of His that the Prophets of Truth have recorded in the Book of Truth (Jeremiah 1:9-12).  The Father of Truth performed His word spoken through the Prophets of Truth to bring the descendants of Israel into the Promised Land the second time to provide a record that He performs His words that are recorded in the Book of Truth (Jeremiah 29:10-12).

Those who oppose the Father of Truth are cut down like grass (Psalm 37:1-3).  A thousand years are but as a day to Him but his enemies are like grass that flourishes in the morning only to be cut down in the evening (Psalm 90:4-6).  His enemies spring up like grass only to be quickly destroyed while the Father of Truth lives forever (Psalm 92:7-9).  All men are like grass that dies and is blown away while the Father of Truth lives forever to bring His Word to pass (Psalm 103:15-18).  Those who hate His plans for the Promised Land laid out in the Book of Truth are doomed to come to nothing like grass growing on a roof top (Psalm 129:4-6).  All people are like grass that withers and flowers that fade away but the words of the Father of Truth recorded in the Book of Truth will endure forever (Isaiah 40:6-8).  His enemies shall die like the grass when He brings the descendants of Israel into the Promised Land the third time to provide a record that He performs His words that are recorded in the Book of Truth (Isaiah 51:11-13).

No matter how rich the empire or the men who oppose the Father of Truth by seeking to destroy the Book of Truth they are all fade away and perish like the grass while those who believe the words in the Book of Truth and do what it says shall live forever as the Father of Truth has promised in the Book of Truth (James 1:10-12).  The mightiest empires and the greatest men who have tried to destroy the Book of Truth came and went like the withering grass but they could not destroy the Book of Truth because the words in it endure forever so that people can be born again to live forever (1 Peter 1:23-25).

So the Book of Truth is The Indestructible Book because it came from the Father of Truth and He will not allow anyone to destroy it but will certainly bring everything in it to pass.

The Father of Truth said in the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) that He would make the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) with the descendants of Israel where the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) would live in them so that the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) would be written on their hearts (Jeremiah 31:31-33).  The Father of Truth said that this would cause them to know Him so they could live in the Promised Land forever because the descendants of Israel could no more cease to be a people group than the laws that He gave to govern the universe because He is the source of this promise (Jeremiah 31:34-36).

For this reason the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) did not come to destroy the eternal words in the Original Covenant but to teach people how to keep the commandments of the Law of Truth in the way that His Father had always intended (Matthew 5:17-19).  Men want to destroy the Book of Truth to justify themselves but they can no more destroy the Book of Truth than they could destroy the universe because the Law of Truth cannot be destroyed and it is the standard that they will be judged by instead of their own standards (Luke 16:15-18).

The words of the Man of Truth spoken in the Renewed Covenant shall not pass away so we can be sure that all that was promised about the end of this age will come to pass within a single generation (Matthew 24:34-36).   The end of this age that will bring about all that was promised to Abraham will surely come to pass even though only the Father of Truth knows when it will come to pass (Mark 13:30-32).  The words of the Man of Truth will not pass away so that people can come into the House of Truth to escape the terrible days of judgment that will come upon the whole earth to bring about everything that was promised in the Book of Truth (Luke 21:33-36).

The Man of Truth was sent so that the eternal words in the Book of Truth could be in the mouth of people forever when they come into the House of Truth (Isaiah 59:20-21).  Those who come to  Man of Truth in total surrender because they believe that His Father raised him from the dead will come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:9).  The eternal words in The Indestructible Book are what causes people to be born again and come to the House of Truth when they believe those words (1 Peter 1:21-23).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Inseparable Covenants

Why are the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) and Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) inseparable from each other?

The key to understanding why these two covenants are inseparable comes from understanding the purposes for which the two covenants was written.

Moses began writing the Original Covenant to preserve the entire record of events leading up the the covenant that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) made with the descendants of Israel in the wilderness (Exodus 24:6-8).  The Original Covenant was first written so that the descendants of Abraham (Abram) could love the Father of Truth with all their being by obeying what was written in it (Deuteronomy 30:10-14).  The Original Covenant was first written so the Father of Truth could bring upon the descendents of Israel all that He had promised to Abraham, Isaac (Yitzakh) and Jacob (Ya'acob aka Israel) (Deuteronomy 30:15-20).

After Moses, at various times, other Prophets of Truth, starting with Joshua, wrote the rest of the Original Covenant to record the efforts of the Father of Truth to bring about all that He promised and the refusal of the descendants of Israel to keep the covenant that their ancestors made in the wilderness so He could bring it to pass at that time (Joshua 24:19-26).  These events continued to be recorded in the Original Covenant by the Prophets of Truth to show the efforts of the Father of Truth to do good to the descendants of Israel and the refusal of the descendents of Israel to keep the covenant made through Moses until it was certain that the descendents of Israel would be completely cast out of the Promised Land for refusing to do what they had agreed to do (2 Chronicles 34:19-25).  These events continued to be recorded in the Original Covenant by the Prophets of Truth until after the descendants of Israel were once again back in the Promised Land so they could have the joy that came from knowing that the Father of Truth would bring about all that He promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob one day - despite their unfaithfulness that had caused them to be previously cast out of the Promised Land (Nehemiah 8:9-12).  So after the descendant of Israel returned to the Promised Land then the Original Covenant contained the entire history of the efforts of the Father of Truth to bring about what He had promised Abraham from the time of the creation of the world to the return of the descendants of Israel to the Promised Land (Nehemiah 9:6-37).

However, the Original Covenant did not just record the efforts of the Father of Truth to bring upon the descendants of Israel all that He had promised Abraham up to the time of their return to the Promised Land but it also laid out a road map of how the Father of Truth would bring about all that He had promised to Abraham long after that time.

In the covenant that came through Moses there was promised that another Prophet of Truth like unto Moses would come so that the descendants of Israel could be perfect before the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 18:13-15).  This Prophet of Truth would be given to the descendants of Israel as they asked (Deuteronomy 18:16-17).  This Prophet of Truth would speak only what the Father of Truth told him to say so that anyone who did not do what he said to do would have to answer to the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 18:18-19).

The Father of Truth revealed that the day would come when He would bring the descendants of Israel back to the Promised Land and circumcise their hearts so they could keep His commandments in order to fulfill all that He had promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Deuteronomy 30:4-6).  He then spoke through the Prophets of Truth in the Original Covenant that He was going to make the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) with the descendants of Israel where He would write His Laws on their hearts so they could keep those commandments and live in the Promised Land as He had promised to Abraham (Jeremiah 31:31-33).

The Father of Truth revealed in the Original Covenant that the Prophet of Truth like Moses would redeem the descendants of Israel through this Renewed Covenant by putting the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) in them (Isaiah 59:20-21).  The Father of Truth revealed through the Prophets of Truth that He was going to put the Spirit of Truth in them so they could keep His commandments to fulfill the covenant that came through Moses (Ezekiel 11:19-20).  The Father of Truth revealed that He was going to put the Spirit of Truth within them to make them able to obey Him so that He could fulfill the promises He gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for the descendants of Israel to live forever in the Promised Land (Ezekiel 36:26-28).

So about four hundred years after the last page of the Original Covenant had been written by the Prophets of Truth, the Father of Truth sent the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) to Israel to begin putting into motion the plan to fulfill His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that the Prophets of Truth had written about in the Original Covenant (Luke 1:68-75).  After the Man of Truth had died for the sins of Israel and rose again to bring out cleansing from sin, then he said that he would send the Spirit of Truth as the Father of Truth had promised in the Original Covenant (Luke 24:46-49).  The Man of Truth was that Prophet of Truth who Moses said that people must listen to and who the Prophets of Truth said was coming throughout the Original Covenant (Acts 3:22-24).  The Man of Truth was raised from the dead to confirm that the Father of Truth would cause the descendants of Israel to live in the Promised Land forever as He had promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Acts 13:31-33).

The Spirit of Truth was given as the means for the Father of Truth to circumcise the hearts of the descendants of Israel as He had promised in the Original Covenant (Romans 2:28-29).  The Man of Truth was the minister of the circumcision of the heart to confirm that the promises given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob concerning the descendants of Israel would be fulfilled (Romans 15:8).  The Man of Truth used the Spirit of Truth to write the words that He received from His Father on their hearts as promised in the Original Covenant (2 Corinthians 3:3).

The Man of Truth is the mediator of a better covenant than the one mediated by Moses (Hebrews 8:5-6).  The Original Covenant had to be replaced with the Renewed Covenant because the descendants of Israel were at fault for not keeping the Original Covenant even though the Father of Truth had lead them by the hand (Hebrews 8:7-9).  In this Renewed Covenant, that had been written about in the Original Covenant, the Father of Truth wrote the same laws that were in Original Covenant upon their hearts so that all of them could be cleansed from sin and know Him (Hebrews 8:10-12).  This Renewed Covenant is the plan of the Father of Truth to bring about all that He promised to Abraham by writing His laws on their hearts so they can keep those laws (Hebrews 10:15-17).  This Renewed Covenant can do what the Original Covenant could not do because is mediated by the Man of Truth who is greater than Moses (Hebrews 12:18-24).

In the Renewed Covenant, the Man of Truth did not come to do away with what was promised and required in the Original Covenant, but rather came to bring about the fulfillment of everything promised and required in the Original Covenant by making it possible for people to do everything required in the Original Covenant so that everything promised could come to pass (Matthew 5:17-19).  The plan to bring the descendants of Israel into all that the Father of Truth had promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that began with the arrival of the Man of Truth, will be completed when all of Israel accepts the Man of Truth as their deliverer (Romans 11:25-27).

The Renewed Covenant in no manner changed The Unchanging Law that existed before Moses was given its commandments on Mount Sinai.  The Renewed Covenant is a continuation of the Original Covenant because the Man of Truth is first and foremost the Messiah of Israel.

The Apostles of Truth recorded in the Renewed Covenant the work of the Father of Truth to put into motion the plan that the Prophets of Truth had recorded in the Original Covenant which centered on the Man of Truth (Ephesians 2:20).  The Apostles of Truth understood that they were recording these actions and the rest of the details of the plan in the Renewed Covenant just like the Prophets of Truth had recorded the plan in the Original Covenant (2 Peter 3:13-16).  The Renewed Covenant told the end of the story that was began in the Original Covenant (Revelation 22:18-20).

The Original Covenant did not just contain a covenant given through Moses to the descendants of Israel to fulfill the promises given to Abraham concerning them but it also contains promises given for the entire human race.  About two thousand years before Abraham was born, the Father of Truth had already made a promise to Eve that a Deliverer for the entire human race would come from her (Genesis 3:13-15).  So the very first promise that the Father of Truth made to Abraham was that the entire human race would be blessed through the Seed that would come from him (Genesis 12:1-3).  The Father of Truth promised to save the entire human race through the Seed of Jacob when He promised to give the descendants of Israel the Promised Land (Genesis 28:13-15).  The Father of Truth even made provision in the covenant that came through Moses for those whose ancestors were not even at Mount Sinai because that covenant was part of the plan to bring about all that had been promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Deuteronomy 29:12-15).  The Prophets of Truth said that the the Gentiles would seek after the Root of Jesse (Isaiah 11:10).  The Prophets of Truth said that this Deliverer would bring judgment to the Gentiles (Isaiah 42:1-3).  The Prophets of Truth said that this Deliver would bring light to the Gentiles through the covenant that he would mediate with Israel (Isaiah 42:4-6).  The Prophets of Truth said that even though most of the descendants of Israel would initially reject the Holy One of Israel that it did not matter because his work of salvation was too great to save just Israel but was intended to save the entire human race (Isaiah 49:4-7).  The Prophets of Truth said that this Savior would cause the Gentiles to abandon idolatry and seek after the Father of Truth instead (Jeremiah 16:19).  The Prophets of Truth said that this Savior would make the name of the Father of Truth great among the Gentiles who had not known Him (Malachi 1:11).

The Renewed Covenant tells of how the Man of Truth came fulfill what was written concerning the Savior of the Gentiles that the Prophets of Truth had said would come in the Original Covenant (Matthew 12:17-21).  The Apostles of Truth recorded how this Savior came to be a light to the Gentiles as well as the glory of the descendants of Israel (Luke 2:30-32).  They recorded that even the Pharisees, who the Rabbis came from, understood that the mission of this Savior included teaching the Gentiles how to walk in the ways of the Father of Truth (John 7:32-35).  The Apostles of Truth declared that the Man of Truth had came to bring the Gentiles out of darkness as the Prophets of Truth had said he would so they could be saved (Acts 13:47).  Their message in the Renewed Covenant that the Man of Truth was the Savior of the Gentiles agreed with what the Prophets of Truth had written in the Original Covenant (Acts 15:15-17).  They recorded that the Man of Truth was the Root of Jesse that the Gentiles sought after (Romans 15:9-12).  They recorded how the Man of Truth caused the Gentiles to be turned from serving idols to seek after the Father of Truth as foretold by the Prophets of Truth (1 Thessalonians 1:8-10).  They recorded that the Gentiles were blessed through the Man of Truth just as the Father of Truth had promised Abraham (Galatians 3:7-9).  They recorded that the Gentiles were blessed and receive the Spirit of Truth as proof that the Father of Truth was fulfilling this promise to Abraham through the Seed of Abraham, the Man of Truth (Galatians 3:14).

So the Renewed Covenant records how the Father of Truth brought about everything He promised concerning the Gentiles in the Original Covenant.  It had always been part of the plan laid out in the Original Covenant to save the Gentiles as well as the Jews as shown in the Renewed Covenant because it has always been about the Gentiles.

So the Book of Truth (The Bible) that is composed of the Original Covenant that Moses started writing and ends with Renewed Covenant that John the Jew (Yochanon ben Zebedee aka The Apostle John) finished writing.  The Book of Truth starts with the story of the fall of the human race that caused it to lose the Tree of Life (Genesis 3:22-24).  The Book of Truth ends with the story of the restoration of the human race that will cause it to regain the Tree of Life (Revelation 22:12-14).

So the Book of Truth contains the entire story of the plan of the Father of Truth to save the human race through the Man of Truth.  This story revolves around The Eternal Covenant that the Father of Truth made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to give the Promised Land to the descendants of Israel and to bring about the salvation of the Gentiles.  Without the Original Covenant there is no record of this plan and there is no promise of the Renewed Covenant.  Without the Renewed Covenant there is no record of the only means to fulfill this plan and the promises of the Original Covenant can never be fulfilled.  So these two covenants are inseparable because they work with each other to bring about everything that the Father of Truth has promised just like it takes both a man and a woman to bring about a baby.  The Book of Truth is simply incomplete without both of the inseparable covenants.

So there is no other means to come into the House of Truth other than the Man of Truth who is the subject of the inseparable covenants (Acts 4:10-12).  You must surrender everything to the Man of Truth to come into the House of Truth because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead as told in both of the inseparable covenants (Romans 10:9).  You must surrender to the Man of Truth to come into the House of Truth because he remains the same throughout the inseparable covenants and will never change (Hebrews 13:8).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Everlasting Covenant

Why do the Gentile Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) care so much about the country of Israel?

The answer to this question starts by realizing that is not a new phenomenon but rather one that started more than three hundred years before the modern country of Israel even existed.

There were Christian Zionists, like Sir Isaac Newton, more than 200 years before there were Jewish Zionists.  These Christian Zionist organizations, originally called Restorationist organizations, worked to pave the way for Jews to immigrate and create Jewish settlements in their ancient homeland.  In fact, the majority of the early colonists in America were Restorationists as well.  The Pilgrims, and many other original colonists, taught that the Jews would one day return to their ancient homeland and the nation of Israel would be reborn.  They taught that when the nation of Israel was reborn, then it would signal that the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) would be soon returning to resurrect the dead and rule the Earth.  So they sought to hasten the day of his return by doing what they could to help the Jews return back to their homeland.

For this reason the earliest Jewish immigrants, who began building houses outside of the walls Jerusalem in the 1860s, did so with the help of Christian Zionists.  Christian Zionists also helped transport many of the 25,000 Jews who came in the First Aliyah to the Promised Land in 1882 AD.  The Christian Zionists have continually helped the Jewish people return to the Promised Land through all kinds of adversity, including resistance by many Jewish leaders.  These Jewish leader mistook these Christian Zionists for members of the False Church of Rome that had persecuted them so many times over the centuries.  In many cases, the Jewish people reluctantly accepted the help of these Christian Zionists, because they had no other options.  In fact, many Jewish leaders like the current Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netenyahu, openly acknowledge that there would be no modern state of Israel without the help of Christian Zionists over the last four hundred years.

The help from Christian Zionists for Jews returning to Israel did not end there, but continues to this day.  The majority of the almost two million Jews who immigrated to Israel from the Former Soviet Union in the 1990s did so by Christian Zionist paying for their expenses.   Even within the last year a major Christian television network ran a telethon for several weeks to raise money to buy equipment and the like for the members of Israeli Defense Forces.

So what drives these Gentile Children of Truth to help the Jewish people?

These Gentile Children of Truth were so driven in helping the Jewish people because they understood that their destinies were tied together by the everlasting covenant.

The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) made an everlasting covenant with Abraham (Abram) that He would give the Promised Land to his descendants as their possession forever (Genesis 17:6-8). The Father of Truth sought to bring the descendants of Israel into possession of the Promised Land to fulfill the everlasting covenant that He made with Abraham, Isaac (Yitzakh) and Jacob (Ya'acob aka Israel) (Deuteronomy 9:4-6).  Therefore the Father of Truth made a covenant through Moses (Moshe) with the people of Israel in the wilderness so he could fulfill the everlasting covenant as He had sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Deuteronomy 29:10-13).  So the Father of Truth gave the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) so that the people of Israel could prove their love for Him with their obedience and could live in the land promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Deuteronomy 30:19-20).

Since this covenant with Abraham was everlasting the Father of Truth was gracious with the people of Israel to the point of even allowing them to remain in the Promised Land even after they rebelled against Him (2 Kings 13:23).   The people of Israel were to never forget that the goodness that the Father of Truth showed them was because of the eternal covenants that He made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their ancestors in the wilderness through Moses (1 Chronicles 16:13-19).  This covenant would be fulfilled if it took a thousand generations to do so because it is an everlasting covenant (Psalm 105:6-12).  The Father of Truth had brought the people of Israel through the wilderness and into the Promised Land to fulfill His everlasting covenant with Abraham so they would learned to walk in His ways like Abraham (Psalm 105:42-46).  The Father of Truth said that He would never cast the people of Israel completely away and even gather them from the ends of the Earth so that they would return to Him in order to fulfill what He had promised to Abraham concerning his seed (Isaiah 41:8-10).  The Father of Truth promised to return the Promised Land to being like the Garden of Eden that He had made desolate in judgment and to multiply the seed of Abraham in it so that they could walk in His ways in the Promised Land to fulfill the everlasting covenant that He made with Abraham (Isaiah 51:2-4).

Therefore the Father of Truth promised that the descendants of Israel would learn to walk in His ways through the Man of Truth so He could fulfill the everlasting covenant that He made with Abraham (Isaiah 29:22-24).  The entire reason that the Father of Truth made a way to forgive sins was so He could fulfill the everlasting covenant that He made with Abraham (Micah 7:18-20).  Everything the Father of Truth had done for Israel, even to sending the Man of Truth, was because of His everlasting covenant with Abraham (Luke 1:46-55).  The Man of Truth was sent to cause the descendants of Israel to live their lives in holiness so the everlasting covenant with Abraham could be fulfilled (Luke 1:68-75).  Everything that happened to the Man of Truth, including his death, burial and resurrection, was written about before hand in the writings of the Prophets of Truth, the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament), so that the descendants of Israel could be turned from sin and the Father of Truth could fulfill His everlasting covenant with Abraham (Acts 3:17-26).

The Father of Truth made the everlasting covenant with Abraham because He knew that Abraham would command his descendants to walk in His ways so that He could bring about all that He had promised (Genesis 18:17-19).  Even when the Father of Truth poured out His wrath on the Jews for the majority turning against Him He always left a remnant instead of destroying them completely like Sodom and Gomorrah (Isaiah 1:7-9).  For even when the Jews became as bad as the people of Sodom there always remained a few who He could show mercy to because they walked in His ways like Abraham while destroying the rest for their wickedness (Isaiah 3:9-11).  The remnant who will walk in His ways like Abraham are going to be brought back to the Promised Land so that the everlasting covenant can be fulfilled (Isaiah 10:20-22).  The Father of Truth will gather the remnant of the Jews back to Promised Land from the all the countries of the Earth where He scattered the Jews when the Man of Truth returns to rule over the entire Earth (Jeremiah 23:3-5).   They will walk in His Ways in the Promised Land so the Father of Truth can fulfill the everlasting covenant (Jeremiah 23:6-8).   So in order to fulfill the everlasting covenant that the Father of Truth made with Abraham there will still remain a remnant of the people of Israel who will walk in His Ways when the Man of Truth rules this Earth (Zephaniah 3:11-15).

Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) affirms that a remnant of the Jews will be saved for walking in the His Ways (Romans 9:27-29).  He shows from the Original Covenant that in every generation there has always been a remnant of Jews who walked in the ways of Abraham (Romans 11:1-5).  Therefore when the Man of Truth rules the Earth all of the people of Israel who remain will walk in the ways of the Father of Truth so that He can fulfill the everlasting covenant He made with Abraham (Romans 11:26-28).

So all of the promises given to Abraham depend upon the Father of Truth fulfilling what He promised concerning the Jews living in the Promised Land as their possession forever.

However, this everlasting covenant was not just about the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who became a nation called Israel in the wilderness, who later came to be known as the Jews, living in the Promised Land.  The promise that the Father of Truth gave to Abraham for leaving his own country, people and family to wander as a foreigner in the Promised Land was to bless all the families of the Earth and not just the Jews (Genesis 12:1-3).  Since Abraham obeyed the Father of Truth, even to the point of offering up Isaac, then the Father of Truth swore that Abraham would have a spiritual seed whose numbers were like the stars of Heaven that included people from every nation on Earth as well as a physical seed, the Jews, whose numbers were like the sand of the seashore (Genesis 22:16-18).  

The key provision in the everlasting covenant to bring the blessing of Abraham upon all the families of the Earth, which would include the Gentiles, was to give the Promised Land to the physical descendants of Israel, the Jews, forever (Genesis 28:13-15).  The Father of Truth promised Jacob that he would make his physical descendents as numerous as the sands of the sea shore if he would return to the Promised Land (Genesis 32:9-12).  Indeed He made the physical descendants of Israel, the Jews, as numerous as the sand of the seashore when they possessed just part of the Promised Land (1 Kings 4:19-21).  He made the Jews as numerous as the sands on the sea shore to ensure that there would always be a remnant who were walk in the ways of Abraham so He could spare some from judgment to fulfill the everlasting covenant through them (Isaiah 10:21-23).  He made them as numerous as the sands of the sea shore so that a remnant would always be saved for walking in His ways so that He could fulfill the everlasting covenant concerning the physical descendants of Abraham (Romans 9:27).

The spiritual seed of Abraham, who are like the stars of Heaven, would come to be made righteous by believing the Word of Truth concerning THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, the Man of Truth, just as Abraham was made righteous by believing the Word of Truth concerning THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, the Man of Truth, who come from his physical descendants (Genesis 15:4-6).  The spiritual seed that was to come through the line of Isaac was dependent upon the physical seed that was to come from Isaac possessing the Promised Land and keeping the unchanging law like Abraham (Genesis 26:3-5).  The Father of Truth did not wipe out the descendants of Israel in the wilderness for their rebellion against Him, so that He could fulfill the everlasting covenant concerning both the spiritual seed that would come through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and their physical seed possessing the Promised Land forever (Exodus 32:12-14).  Every promise in the everlasting covenant concerning the spiritual seed of Abraham is tied to the promises concerning the physical seed of Abraham possessing the Promised Land forever in that same covenant (Hebrews 11:9-12).

The Man of Truth is first and foremost the Messiah of Israel who will bring about ever promise given to Abraham in the everlasting covenant concerning his physical descendants possessing the Promised Land forever.  The Man of Truth is also the means for bringing about every promise given to Abraham concerning the Gentiles being blessed as part of the everlasting covenant because it has always been about the Gentiles.

Therefore the Gentile Children of Truth should deeply care about the country of Israel because the Jews possessing the Promised Land is part of the same everlasting covenant that allows Gentiles to come into the House of Truth.  The plan of salvation for the Gentiles depends entirely upon the Father of Truth fulfilling the everlasting covenant that He made with Abraham concerning the Jews possessing the Promised Land.  In fact, when the Jews surrender completely to the Man of Truth so that the Father of Truth can fulfill the everlasting covenant concerning the Promised Land then it will mean life from the dead for the Gentiles because their fates are tied together in the everlasting covenant (Romans 11:13-16).

So the Gentile Children of Truth are walking in the ways of The Greatest Zionist Ever when they help the Jewish people return to the Promise Land and remain in the Promised Land.

Abraham was not just promised to be the father of a great and mighty nation named Israel but was also to be the means for all of the Gentile nations to be blessed (Genesis 18:18).  The Father of Truth can make spiritual children for Abraham from even those who have no more physical relationship with Abraham than a stone (Matthew 3:9).  It is only those who have faith in the Man of Truth who will benefit with Abraham when the everlasting covenant is fulfilled (Matthew 8:10-12).  It is of no value to be a physical descendant of Abraham unless you also walk in the ways of the Father of Truth like Abraham (Luke 3:8).  The true children of Abraham are not those who are his physical descendants but those who live like Abraham (John 8:37-39).  The spiritual descendants of Abraham are those who are made righteous by believing the Word of Truth like Abraham (Romans 4:1-3).  People of all nations of the Earth, Jews and Gentiles, are saved by believing the Word of Truth like Abraham (Galatians 3:6-8).

Everyone, both Jews and Gentiles, come into the House of Truth by accepting the Man of Truth as king of their lives, because they believe the report of the Word of Truth that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  Everyone who demonstrates their trust in the Father of Truth by doing the works that He commands, like Abraham did, will come into the House of Truth and be saved in accordance with the everlasting covenant (James 2:20-23).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Missing Books of The Bible

Are there books missing from the Book of Truth (The Bible)?

One Christmas my Aunt Londa got me a book entitled "The Missing Books of the Bible".  (This was before I became like The Mensch Who Killed Christmas by coming to the second of the two kinds of knowledge.)  This book was a two volume set that contained fifteen books that were part of the King James Bible in its original 1611 AD Edition.  The King James Bible underwent numerous revisions over the years to correct minor errors in translation until the 1769 AD version which is the version still printed today.  It was printed using the newly invented stereotype printing that made the cost per Bible considerably cheaper than it had been before.  The 1769 AD version did not include the fifteen books that were included in "The Missing Books of the Bible" that my Aunt Londa gave me.

One reason for this was so that the cost of production could be lowered to the point where the King James Bible could be afforded by everyone who wanted one.  This was not that different than the Gideons producing Bibles that only contained the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) so they could afford to give them to every school child in America.

Now in the case of the Gideons, they were not saying that the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) was not as important as the Renewed Covenant.  In fact, some of their small pocket Bibles contained Psalms (Tehillim) and the Book of Daniel as well.  They simply understood that if people read the Renewed Covenant first that it would lead them to search out the Original Covenant later.  They were following the same strategy as the Apostles of Truth who gave the bare minimum requirements of the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) that Gentiles had to keep to come into the House of Truth with the understanding that the Gentiles would have the opportunity to learn more from the Law of Truth later (Acts 15:19-21).  The Gideons gave out Renewed Covenants instead of the Original Covenant because they understood that it was pointless to put the cart before the horse.

However, this was not the case with the 1769 AD version of the King James Bible.  The goal was to produce a complete version of the Book of Truth that everyone could afford.  These books were not included because they were considered supplement information similar to maps and dictionaries found in the back of many modern versions of the Book of Truth.  These books were part of a section of the 1611 AD version of the King James Bible called the Apocrypha.  The Apocrypha was located between the Original Covenant and the Renewed Covenant in the 1611 AD version of the King James Bible because it contained historical information, particularly in first and second Maccabees, about what happened between the two covenants.

Since this was supplemental information, not scripture given by the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost), then they did not include it in the 1769 AD version of the King James Bible similar to how they did not include any maps or dictionaries.  The fact is that the Apocrypha had never been considered to be part of the Original Covenant by the Jews who originally maintained it.  It was not part of the canon of the Renewed Covenant that was formalized around 70 AD by the Jews.  For this reason the False Church of Rome calls the twelve books of the Apocrypha that is in their version of the Book of Truth the "Dueterocanonical" (literally "second list") books because these books have never been listed as being scripture from the Spirit of Truth but rather supplemental information to fill in the historical gap that occurred between the end of the Original Covenant and the beginning of the Renewed Covenant.

So "The Missing Books of the Bible" was a really misleading name for this two volume set.  It would have been more appropriate to have called it "The Missing Supplements to the Bible".  It would make as much sense to use these books of the Apocrypha to form doctrine as it would to use the Book of Mormon.

You see the Book of Mormon is really a collection of Apocryphal books according to the words of Joseph Smith.  Apocrypha literally means "hidden things" and is used to describe books outside of the Book of Truth that are used to determine the doctrine (set of teachings) of an organization.  The term was originally used by Origen somewhere around 220 AD to distinguish the books that the False Church of Rome kept hidden from the public that it used to determine doctrine from the books of the Book of Truth that it read in public.  Eventually these hidden books were revealed and often included in a bound set appropriately called "The Apocrypha". They were included as a supplemental part of the Book of Truth to justify the doctrines taught by the False Church of Rome.  This is exactly the same thing that Joseph Smith said about the Book of Mormon.  The books in the Book of Mormon were hidden and then revealed in a bound set called the Book of Mormon to justify the doctrine that he taught.

Not only did the False Church of Rome use twelve of the books of the Apocrypha that were written before the time of the birth of the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) to form its doctrine but it also used many books of the New Testament Apocrypha that were written after the resurrection of the Man of Truth.  This New Testament Apocrypha contains more than 50 Gospels other than the four included in the Renewed Covenant.  It also contains epistles and other works allegedly written during the time of the Apostles of Truth.  Many of these writings are even contributed to the Apostles of Truth.  There were also epistles from the period after the Renewed Covenant was finished in 95 AD like those attributed to Clement and Ignatius.  These books of the New Testament Apocrypha were used by the founders of the False Church of Rome to form many of its doctrines.  The False Church of Rome kept the use of these books, along the twelve books of the Apocrypha that they include as their Dueterocanonical books, to form their doctrine hidden from the public as previously noted.  Many of these books that the False Church of Rome used to form its doctrine were written more than one hundred years after the book of Revelation and many of them had Gentile authors.  However, the False Church of Rome came way too late to have invented using Apocryphal books to justify its doctrines.

Indeed at least two hundred years before the Man of Truth even came to the Earth there were Jewish groups like the Essenes who were using their own set of Apocryphal books.  This Jewish Apocrypha contains way more books than just the supplementary fifteen books that were included the Apocrypha found in the 1611 AD King James Bible.  These books include works like the Book of the Jasher, the Book of Enoch, the book of Jubilees, and many others.  Some of these works have not survived to modern times but are only known by references to them in other writings.  Some of the modern versions of these works have been proven to be fabrications that were made in America in the 1800s just like the Book of Mormon.  Many of these books have multiple versions that contradict each other like the five versions of the Book of Jasher and the nine versions of the Book of Enoch.  Most of these books from the Jewish Apocrypha contradict the Original Covenant in some manner as well.  Others, like the first and second book of Maccabees, are simply history books that were not given through the Prophets of Truth by the Spirit of Truth.  So for all of these reasons they were not included by the Jews in the set of books that make up the Original Covenant.

Besides these books there were also the Jewish oral traditions that did not start being accumulated into books until Yahudah HaNasi started writing them in the Mishnah sometime before his death in 217 AD.  There were then the commentaries written by other "Rabbis" in the land of Israel in the Galilee area (Tiberias) on the Mishnah called the Gemara.  These commentaries came to an end around 400 AD.   The Mishnah and this Gemara from Israel form the misnamed Jerusalem Talmud.  At this same time in the land surrounding Babylon other "Rabbis" were writing their own Gemara until about 500 AD.  The Mishnah and this Gemara form the better named Babylonian Talmud.  So in either case, both Talmuds were written well after the Book of Truth was completed in 95 AD.

So Rabbinic Judaism forms doctrines based first on one of these Talmuds and second on the Original Covenant.  It could be said Rabbinic Judaism has three testimonies of the dealings of the Father of Truth with the human race: the Original Covenant, the Mishnah, and the Gemara.

There were then even later books like the Kabbalah that preserved other Jewish traditions and Jewish mysticism that also had their origins in Babylon.  These additional testimonies are usually added on top the other three testimonies and considered to be the final authority.

So how about these other books?  Are the books of the New Testament Apocrypha, the Jewish Apocrypha, the Talmud or any other Rabbinic source any better than the Book of Mormon?

The Father of Truth entrusted His writings to the Jewish people through Moses (Moishe) when they received the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) at Mount Sinai (Acts 7:37-39).  The Father of Truth entrusted His writings to the Jewish people alone so any book that was written by a Gentile is certainly not part of the Gospel that came from Him (Romans 3:1-3).  Anyone that preaches a Gospel built upon Gentile sources, like many of the books in the New Testament Apocrypha that was originally used by the False Church of Rome to form its doctrine, is preaching another Gospel.

So what about the books that came from Jewish sources?

There are twenty other books, like the Book of Jasher, mentioned by name in the Book of Truth (Joshua 10:13).  So it is argued that if a book is mentioned by name in the Book of Truth then the book must surely have come from the Father of Truth.  Is this really true?

The Book of Truth also mentions the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia by name (Esther 10:2).  As already shown, any book that was not written by the Jewish Prophets of Truth does not qualify as being being sent by the Father of Truth to form doctrine.  The mention of these other books only serve to show that the books were in existence at the time and contained a reference to the event that was written about in the Book of Truth.  So anyone that preaches a Gospel built upon a book that is only mentioned in the Book of Truth but not contained in the Book of Truth is preaching another Gospel.

However, there are some books that may not be named by name in the Book of Truth but they are quoted in the Book of Truth.  There are about twenty quotations from the Jewish Apocrypha and the Oral Torah (later collected into the Mishnah) in the Renewed Covenant.

For example, the disputing between Michael the Angel of Truth and the Father of Lies over the body of Moses comes from the Jewish Apocrypha (Jude 1:9).  The prophecy of Enoch is found in the Book of Enoch (Jude 1:14-15).

If these are quoted in the Book of Truth then some would argue that means that the entire contents of these books are just as much from the Spirit of Truth as what is found in the Renewed Covenant.  Is this really the case?

The Man of Truth quoted the saying that had been collected in the Manual of Discipline of the Essenes (or perhaps another Jewish sect) to contrast that saying with His own teaching (Matthew 5:43-45).  The Man of Truth later quoted from the Greek playwright Ascylus when he arrested Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) on the road to Damascus to get his point across (Acts 9:4-6).  Paul the Jew quoted Epimenides of Gnossus and the Stoic Philosopher Aratus to convince the Athenians to stop worshiping idols (Acts 17:26-29).  When Paul the Jew rehearsed his encounter with the Man of Truth on the road to Damascus for King Agrippa and Governor Festus they were already very familiar with the quote from the Greek playwright Ascylus which caused Festus to acknowledge that Paul the Jew was well educated and not easily duped (Acts 26:14-24).   Paul the Jew quoted from a play by Euripedes, the Shakespeare of ancient Greece, to admonish the Corinthians to live righteously instead of being influence to live wickedly by those around them (1 Corinthians 15:33-34).  Paul the Jew again quoted Epimenides of Gnossus, a Cretan poet and prophet whom the Cretans once worshiped as a god, to reinforce a point about their character to bring them to repentance (Titus 1:12).

The truth is these other Jewish sources, that are quoted in the Book of Truth, contain nothing that came by the inspiration of the Spirit of Truth, except for when the Spirit of Truth moved upon the Man of Truth and the Apostles of Truth, to quote from them to make a point.  Quoting from these Jewish sources to make a point, is no different than quoting from pagan Greek sources to make a point.  So there is nothing about a quote from another source existing in the Book of Truth, that proves that the entire source, was from the Father of Truth.  In essence, these Jewish sources are no better for forming doctrine, than secular sources or even pagan Greek sources.

That is not even all that the Book of Truth has to say about these other Jewish sources.

The Jewish traditions collected in the Mishnah are the very same traditions of the Pharisees that the Man of Truth said caused people to transgress the commandments of the Law of Truth (Matthew 15:1-3).  He said that these Rabbinic traditions were made to cancel out the commandments of His Father (Matthew 15:4-6).  He said that these Rabbinic traditions formed a doctrine based on the commandments of men and those who kept them were only paying lip service to His Father (Matthew 15:7-9).  He said that those who keep the Rabbinic traditions find fault with everyone who does not keep their traditions (Mark 7:1-3).  He said that zealously keeping these traditions collected in the Mishnah causes people to become religious hypocrites who have moved far away from His Father (Mark 7:4-6).  He said that keeping the doctrine of the Mishnah causes people to reject the commandments of the Law of Truth (Mark 7:7-9).  He said the doctrine of the Mishnah is nothing more that the attempt of men to justify breaking the commandments of His Father to keep their own traditions (Mark 7:10-13).

Consider that Paul the Jew was practicing Rabbinic Judaism, that is built on Jewish traditions collected in the Mishnah, when he was the main persecutor of the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) (Galatians 1:13-14).  The Father of Truth delivered Paul the Jew from the Jewish traditions collected in the Mishnah so the Man of Truth could transform Paul the Jew into an Apostle of Truth (Galatians 1:15-17).  It is for this reason that Paul the Jew warned the Children of Truth to not follow traditions, like those of the Mishnah, because they are contrary to the teachings of the Man of Truth (Colossians 2:8).  He said that the Children of Truth are to be as insensitive as dead men to these commandments that make up a doctrine that came from men instead of the Father of Truth (Colossians 2:20-22).

Paul the Jew taught that the only traditions that the Children of Truth were to pay any attention to were those that are taught in the Renewed Covenant (2 Thessalonians 2:13-15).  Paul the Jew taught the Children of Truth to withdraw themselves from anyone who taught any traditions, like those of the Mishnah, that were not taught in the writings of the Apostles of Truth that form the Renewed Covenant (2 Thessalonians 3:6).  Paul the Jew also warned in the second epistle that he ever wrote for the recipients were to check all epistles for a salutation written in his own hand writing as a token of authenticity because people were already writing false epistles in his name (2 Thessalonians 3:17).

Paul the Jew in like manner charged that no one among the Children of Truth were to teach fables, like those found in the Jewish Apocrypha, or go into endless genealogies to make their teaching seem more authoritative (1 Timothy 1:3-4).  He warned that such supposed teachers of the Law of Truth would only prevent the Children of Truth from keeping the Law of Truth by loving other people as much as they loved themselves (1 Timothy 1:5-7).  He said that the Ministers of Truth were to feed the Children of Truth the clean doctrine of the Book of Truth and to reject the unclean doctrine that comes from fables like those found in the Jewish Apocrypha (1 Timothy 4:6-7).  He said that sound faith in the Man of Truth requires avoiding Jewish fables, like those found in the Jewish Apocrypha, and the commandments of men, like those found in the Mishnah, because they turn people away from the truth that is found in the Book of Truth (Titus 1:13-14).  The Renewed Covenant does not contain clever fables, like those in the Jewish Apocrypha, but rather an accurate record of what the Apostles of Truth personally saw and heard (2 Peter 1:16-18).

Everything that is needed from the Mishnah or the Jewish Apocrypha for sound doctrine is already included in the Renewed Covenant.  The rest of these writings, the ones that are not modern fabrications, contain a mix of secular history, Jewish fables, traditions that contradict the Law of Truth, and Rabbinic doctrines that lead people away from the Man of Truth.  Even books like first and second Maccabees that contain accurate Jewish history are still just secular books of Jewish history just like the writings of Josephus.  The Jewish Apocrypha and the Mishnah are the basis of Rabbinic Distort that is the source of Jewish trouble so they should be avoided like the plague.

It makes as much sense to say that the Oral Torah contained in the Mishnah, or any book of the Jewish Apocrypha like the Book of Enoch, are missing parts of the Book of Truth on this basis as it would to say that the works of Greek poets, playwrights and prophets are missing parts of the Book of Truth.  Those who preach a Gospel built on any of these Jewish sources is preaching another Gospel as much as those who preach a Gospel built on the Book of Mormon.

These supposedly missing books of the Book of Truth are used to preach another "Jesus", who is not the Man of Truth who is written about in the Book of Truth, by those who are being lead by another spirit, that is not the Spirit of Truth who wrote the Book of Truth, to get people to accept another Gospel that is not found in the pages of the Book of Truth (2 Corinthians 11:4).  So do not be fooled by clever marketeers or Teachers of Lies who seek to convince you that the Book of Truth is missing books in order to gain your money and trust so that they can lead you out of the House of Truth (2 Peter 2:1-3).  The Doctrine of Truth is built on the Book of Truth alone.  Any teaching that relies on any book that is supposedly missing from the Book of Truth is part of the Doctrine of Lies.

The Book of Truth says that you can only come into the House of Truth by surrendering control of your life to the Man of Truth because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  This is the true for both Jews and Gentiles (Romans 10:11-13).  The Book of Truth, that is composed of the writings of the Prophets of Truth in the Original Covenant and the writings of the Apostles of Truth in the Renewed Covenant, is the only foundation for coming into the House of Truth through the Man of Truth (Ephesians 2:20-22).  The Book of Truth is more certain to contain the only means for coming into the House of Truth than hearing the Father of Truth speaking out of Heaven because there are no books missing from the Book of Truth that was given by the Spirit of Truth (2 Peter 1:18-21).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Book of Mormon

What does the Book of Truth (The Bible) say about the Book of Mormon?

The Mormons (Latter Day Saints) had an ad campaign a long while back about the Gospel that they preach.  The same message was on billboards, radio, television and even the internet.  The Mormons proudly proclaimed everywhere for all to read and hear that the Book of Mormon was "another testimony of Jesus Christ".

This book is called another testimony (or testament) because the Mormons considered it to be a third testament that was missing from the Book of Truth (the Bible) until it was published in 1830 AD.  It is important to understand that the Mormons do not say that the Book of Mormon is a replacement for the Book of Truth but rather that it completes the Gospel.  What sets the Mormon Gospel apart from any other Gospel is this book which Joseph Smith said was revealed to him by an angel.   

Joseph Smith said that an angel named Moroni appeared to him when he was seventeen years of age in 1823 AD and showed him the hill where the metal plates that contained the Book of Mormon had been buried in 421 AD.  He said that Moroni then revealed the exact location on the hill where the plates had been buried to him in 1827 AD.   He said that he spent three years, starting in 1827 AD, translating the writing on the metal plates into English until the Book of Mormon was completely translated and then published in 1830 AD.  He said that this third testimony had been hidden from the time when it was buried in present day New York State in 421 AD by Moroni (who was still a man at the time) until Moroni (who was then an angel) revealed the exact location to him in 1827 AD.  He said that the contents of the Book of Mormon was finally revealed to the world after Moroni gave him the tools to translate it into English and the translation work was finished in 1830 AD.

The Book of Mormon that Joseph Smith published tells of events dating from about 2200 BC to 421 AD.  The majority of the Book of Mormon is focused on events from about 31 AD, when it reports that the Man of Truth came to America after his resurrection, to 421 AD, when it reports that the final of the great civilizations that had existed in ancient America came to an end due to all of the inhabitants falling into idolatry.  Joseph Smith said that this third testimony that told of these events had been hidden from the world until it was revealed to the Saints (followers of the Man of Truth) who were living in the Latter Days.  So the Gospel according to the Mormons is the events revealed in the Book of Truth plus the events that are revealed in the Book of Mormon.

In short, Mormons says that there are three testimonies of the dealings of the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) with the human race that make up the Gospel.  The Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) was the first testimony of those dealings.  The Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) was the second testimony of those dealings.  Joseph Smith said that the Book of Mormon was "another testimony of Jesus Christ" that served as a third witness that completes the Gospel.  So according to the Mormons, the Gospel was incomplete until 1830 AD when Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon into English.

Could the Mormons be right?  Could the Book of Truth that most of the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) have been using since John the Jew (Yochanon ben Zebedee aka the Apostle John) penned the last lines of the Book of Revelation in 95 AD contain an incomplete Gospel that the Book of Mormon completes?

Like everything else, the way to get to the truth about these questions is to see what the Book of Truth says about the subject.  After all, if the Book of Mormon builds on the Original Covenant and the Renewed Covenant then it must agree with them and there must be provision in them for the testimony of another source.

Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) said that the Gospel revealed in the Renewed Covenant was what the Father of Truth had promised in the Original Covenant through the Prophets of Truth concerning the Man of Truth who was descended from King David (Romans 1:1-3).  He said that the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) confirmed this by raising the Man of Truth from the dead and giving the Apostles of Truth the grace to preach the message found in the Book of Truth to the Gentiles (Romans 1:4-6).  The Gospel that Paul the Jew preached, consisting only of what had been foretold in the Original Covenant and fulfilled in the Renewed Covenant, was the Gospel that the Father of Truth commanded to be preached to all people (Romans 16:25-27).

The Renewed Covenant was promised in the Original Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31).  The Renewed Covenant is the fulfillment of that promise given in the Original Covenant (Hebrews 8:6-8).  These two testimonies reference each other and neither make mention of nor leave room for another testimony (Hebrews 8:13).

Not only that but the Book of Truth says that the Man of Truth was with the Apostles of Truth in Israel all forty days between his resurrection and when he returned to Heaven (Acts 1:1-3). When the Man of Truth left the Earth from the Mount of Olives, just outside of Jerusalem, the Angel of Truth told his disciples that when he comes back to Earth from Heaven it will be at the same place (Acts 1:10-12).  The Book of Truth leaves no room for the Man of Truth have came to America between his resurrection and his return to Heaven.

The Book of Truth even goes further than that when it comes to the Man of Truth coming to America.

The Prophet of Truth said that the Man of Truth would come to save Israel when they cried out to the Messiah with these words, "Baruch haba v'shem Adonai!" ("Blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord!") (Psalm 118:24-26). [Yah'shua (Jesus) literally means "Salvation from the Lord".]  The Man of Truth said that the people of Jerusalem would not see him again until they cried out for him to come with these same words which to show that they had finally accept him as the Messiah of Israel who would save them (Luke 13:34-35). Peter the Jew (Cephas aka Sh'mon aka Simon aka Simeon aka The Apostle Peter) said that the Man of Truth would not return to this Earth from Heaven until the time came for the restitution of Israel after it repents as spoken by the Prophets of Truth (Acts 3:19-21).  Paul the Jew said that all of Israel will be saved when it ceases to be blind the fact that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel (Romans 11:25-27).  Paul the Jew said people have to wait until the time of the wrath of the Father of Truth to be poured out in the great tribulation for the Man of Truth to appear on this Earth (1 Thessalonians 1:9-10).  Paul the Jew also said that the Man of Truth would remain in Heaven until His Father subdued his enemies in the great tribulation (Hebrews 10:12-13).  John the Jew said when the Man of Truth finally returns to the Earth from Heaven then all of the Gentile nations will wail in terrible travail (Revelation 1:7).  The Man of Truth will not set foot on this Earth until he comes from Heaven when the Jews cry out for him to save them from all of the Gentile nations that have came to wipe them off the face of the Earth so he can begin ruling over the whole Earth from Jerusalem (Revelation 19:13-15).  The Book of Truth does not even leave room for the Man of Truth to have came to America after he ascended into Heaven.

So in short the Book of Truth says that the Original Covenant and Renewed Covenant are the only testimonies of the Man of Truth.  The Book of Mormon is another testimony of the Man of Truth that is not found in the Book of Truth.  When Joseph Smith said that the Book of Mormon was another testimony of the Man of Truth that had not been preached until 1830 AD he was saying that he was preaching another Gospel that had not been preached before 1830 AD.  So when the Mormons advertise that the Book of Mormon is "another testimony of Jesus Christ" they are also advertising that they are preaching another Gospel that the Apostles of Truth could not have preached.

This Gospel based on the Book of Mormon is therefore another Gospel which the Book of Truth warned against accepting as truth (2 Corinthians 11:4).   Even if an angel gave the Book of Mormon to Joseph Smith that does mean it came from the Father of Truth for even the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) can appear as an Angel of Light to deceive people into preaching another Gospel (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).  Paul the Jew said that if even he himself or an angel revealed another Gospel other than the one that was already revealed in the Book of Truth then that man or angel was under the curse that comes from rebelling against the Father of Truth (Galatians 1:8).   The Book of Mormon tells of another "Jesus" who went to America who is not the Man of Truth who only went to Israel.  Joseph Smith got the Book of Mormon from another spirit that is not the Spirit of Truth.

The only Gospel that can save anyone is the one that is recorded in the Book of Truth about what the Man of Truth did in Israel and no where else (Matthew 15:24).  You must surrender control of your entire life to the Man of Truth because you believe that his Father raised him from the dead if you want to come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:8-11).   There are no testimonies of the Man of Truth other than those of the Original Covenant and the Renewed Covenant whereby you can come into the House of Truth (Ephesians 2:20-22).  These testimonies of the Man of Truth are more certain than someone even hearing the audible voice of the Father of Truth because it was given by the Spirit of Truth so that you could come into the House of Truth by believing these two testimonies without another testimony (2 Peter 1:18-21).

Come into the House of Truth!
