The Good News

What is the Gospel?

In any church, congregation, or synagogue, where the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) gather, they will talk about the Gospel. 

However, they are not really in complete agreement about what the Gospel is. 

For example, some call themselves "Full Gospel" believers, because they believe that the Gospel includes provision for physical healing, while other groups, believe that the Gospel, only includes provision for forgiveness of sin.  There are other variations of the Gospel preached by different groups as well, which becomes apparent, when you ask each group, to clarify exactly, what they mean by the expression, "the Gospel".  Some groups even talk about different types of Gospels, like a "Social Gospel", that focuses on taking care of the poor.

All of this disagreement over exactly what is the Gospel, is needless.  If people will only examine everything that the Book of Truth says about the Gospel, then it will become apparent, what the Gospel is.

The first thing to understand is the literal meaning of the word "Gospel".  The word Gospel simply means, "Good News". So the question becomes: "What is the Good News?"

It is very important to define the Good News, because the Father of Truth only hears the prayers of the righteous, and the Good News brings health to the body (Proverbs 15:29-30).  There is no way to know, how to fully carry out the Great Commission, without first knowing, exactly what the Good News is.

The Good News was first told by the Prophets of Truth.

They told that the Messiah of Israel would preach Good News, that would bring righteousness (Psalm 40:7-10).  [The Hebrew root word "Basar" that means "news", is translated as various words and phrases, to convey the idea of the Good News being told, in different passages.  The Hebrew root word translated as "salvation", in verses like this, is literally the name of the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).]  They told that the Messiah of Israel, who could tell the end from the beginning, would preach the Good News in Jerusalem (Isaiah 41:26-28).  They told the Messiah of Israel would preach the Good News, to set free all who were in bondage (Isaiah 61:1).

They told the Good News, that the Messiah of Israel would come as a Good Shepherd, to take care of the flock of Israel (Isaiah 40:9-11).  They told, that the Good News of the Messiah of Israel, would not be believed by most of the people of Israel (Isaiah 53:1-3).

They told, that the Good News of the Messiah of Israel would go throughout the Earth (1 Chronicles 16:22-24).  They told, that a great number of people would tell the Good News of the Messiah of Israel, that is found in the Word of Truth (Psalm 68:11).  They told, that the Good News of the Messiah of Israel would be told to every Gentile nation, as well as the Jews (Psalm 96:1-3).

They told the Good News, that the Messiah of Israel would bring salvation to all nations (Isaiah 52:7-10).  They told the Good News, that the Messiah of Israel would bring peace, by destroying the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast) (Nahum 1:13-15).

So the Good News was first announced by the Prophets of Truth, especially in the books of The Prophets.  They said, that The Messiah of Israel would be the first to preach the Good News.  So what was the Good News that the Man of Truth preached?

The Good News that the Man of Truth preached, centered around the kingdom (Matthew 4:23).  The Good News about the kingdom, that the Man of Truth preached, was confirmed with demonstrations of supernatural power (Matthew 9:35).  The Good News that the Man of Truth preached, was about the kingdom that the Father of Truth would give him (Mark 1:14).  The Man of Truth preached, that people must come into the House of Truth, if they believe the Good News of the kingdom (Mark 1:15).

The Good News about the kingdom of the Man of Truth, is to be preached to every Gentile nation, as well as the Jews, before the events that will bring about his kingdom, can begin (Matthew 24:14).

So the Good News centers around the kingdom, that the Father of Truth will give the Man of Truth.  This is the same kingdom, that the Prophets of Truth said, that the Messiah of Israel would rule.  So the Good News is best understood, by considering what the Prophets of Truth said, about the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel.

The Messiah of Israel would be born to rule over an ever expanding kingdom of peace and justice from the land of Israel (Isaiah 9:6-8).

The Children of Truth would tell the Good News about the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel to all people (Psalm 145:10-12).  

The Messiah of Israel would destroy the kingdom of the Man of Lies, and set up a kingdom, which will take over all of the kingdoms that came before it (Daniel 2:43-45).  The Children of Truth would be given positions in the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, after the kingdom of the Man of Lies is destroyed (Daniel 7:18-22). 

The Messiah of Israel would rule over people of all nations in his kingdom, including those who would be raised from the dead (Psalm 22:27-29).  All kingdoms would submit to the Father of Truth, when the Messiah of Israel rules over his kingdom (Psalm 68:29-33).  The Children of Truth would rule over all nations on Earth, as part of the kingdom of Messiah of Israel (Daniel 7:25-27). 

The Father of Truth would cause David, to once again be king over the people of Israel, in the land of Israel, when the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel comes upon the Earth (Ezekiel 37:22-25).  Jerusalem would be the capital of the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel (Micah 4:6-8). 

The Messiah of Israel would rule over his kingdom, by loving what is right, and hating everything that is evil (Psalm 45:6-7).  The kingdom of the Messiah of Truth would be prepared for those, who keep the commandments of the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) (Psalm 103:17-19).  The Father of Truth would cause the people of Israel, to obey the commandments of the Law of Truth, when the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel comes upon the Earth (Ezekiel 37:21-24). 

The kingdom of the Messiah of Israel would never be destroyed (Daniel 7:13-14).

So the Good News centers around the Man of Truth, coming to set up an everlasting kingdom.

The Good News is based on the fact, that the Man of Truth is the Son of the Father of Truth (Mark 1:1).  The Good News that the Messiah of Israel has arrived, is what the angels preached to the shepherds, when the Man of Truth was born (Luke 2:8-11).

The Good News that the Messiah of Israel has come, was confirmed by the miracles, that the Man of Truth performed (Matthew 11:2-5).  The Man of Truth preached the Good News, to set free all who were in bondage (Luke 4:18).  The Good News, that the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel is coming, was accompanied by healing the sick, and delivering people from Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) (Luke 9:1-6).

The Children of Truth are to preach the same Good News of the kingdom, that the Man of Truth preached, using the same means as the Man of Truth.

The Good News, that the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel will come, because the King has come, is what the original twelve Apostles of Truth, were taught to preach (Luke 8:1).  

The Good News that the Children of Truth are to preach, tells about what the Man of Truth did on this Earth (Acts 10:36-43).  The Good News of the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel was confirmed, by the Father of Truth raising the Man of Truth from the dead (Acts 13:32-35).  The resurrection of the Man of Truth verifies the Good News, that the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, that was promised by the Father of Truth, will include people from all nations (Romans 1:1-6).  The Good News of the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, hinges on the death, burial, and resurrection of the Man of Truth (1 Corinthians 15:1-24).

The Good News that the King has come, so the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel can come, is to be confirmed by demonstrations of the power of the Spirit of Truth, and the baptism of the Spirit of Truth, that causes people to speak in tongues (Mark 16:15-18).  The baptism of the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) is part of the Good News, about the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, that the Children of Truth are to preach (Acts 8:12-25).  The demonstrations of power of the Spirit of Truth is part of the Good News, about the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, that the Children of Truth are to preach (1 Thessalonians 1:5).

The Good News of the Messiah of Israel, that they are to preach, has not been believed by most of the people of Israel (Romans 10:16).  Still, they are tell the people of Israel, the Good News, that the Messiah of Israel has come as the Good Shepherd, to take care of the flock of Israel, by being the perfect sacrifice for their sins (Hebrews 10:7-14).

The baptism of Gentiles in the Spirit of Truth, the demonstrations of the power of the Spirit of Truth among the Gentiles, and writings of the Prophets of Truth, all bear witness, that the Good News of the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, is also meant for the Gentiles (Acts 15:7-17).  These demonstrations of the power of the Spirit of Truth are meant to accompany the Good News, about the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, where ever the Good News is preached to the Gentiles (Romans 15:18-20).

The Children of Truth are to tell the Good News, about the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, to all people (Mark 13:10).  The Good News, that the Children of Truth are to preach, is that the Messiah of Israel has brought salvation to all nations (Romans 10:13-15).  The Good News, that the Children of Truth are to preach, is that everyone who believes, will have an inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel (Ephesians 1:12-14).

The Children of Truth will be guided by the Spirit of Truth, to those who are ready to hear the Good News of the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel (Acts 16:6-10).  They are to tell the Good News, that the Father of Truth will reward everyone according to their deeds (Romans 2:6-16).  They are to tell the Good News, that the Man of Truth will rule over his kingdom, by loving what is right, and hating everything that is evil (Hebrews 1:8-9).

So the Good News revolves around the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel.  The death, burial, and resurrection of the Man of Truth are proof, that the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel will surely come, because the King has come.  The Good News is, that people can have an inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, because of what the Man of Truth did, to bring about forgiveness for their sins.  The Good News, includes the baptism of the Spirit of Truth and speaking in tongues, to show that the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, is meant for all people.  The Good News of the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel is confirmed, with demonstrations of power by the Spirit of Truth.

The Good News that the Children of Truth are to preach, is a message of repentance (Mark 6:12).  The Good News that they are to preach, is a message of forgiveness of sin, that comes from repentance, by those who put their trust in the Man of Truth (Acts 3:19-26).  The Good News that they are to preach, brings salvation to everyone, who believes it (Romans 1:16).

The Good News that the Children of Truth are to preach, is a testimony against everyone, who does not believe it (Matthew 10:14-18).  The Good News, that the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel is coming, will always face opposition, from those who will not submit to the King (Acts 14:19-22).  The Good News is, that the Law of Truth will be used to condemn everyone, who rejects the rule of the King (1 Timothy 1:9-11).

The Good News of the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel is the sweet smell of life to those who believe it, but is the stench of death to those who reject it (2 Corinthians 2:12-16).  The Good News of the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel is a message of doom to those who reject it, but a message of salvation to those who believe it (Philippians 1:27-28).  The Good News is the promise of a place in the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, to those who obey its demand of repentance, because they believe it, and the promise of everlasting punishment, to those who will not obey its demand of repentance, because they do not believe it (2 Thessalonians 1:4-10).  The Good News of the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel, is only good news to those who repent, because they believe it (Hebrews 4:1-3).

So the Good News of the kingdom of the Messiah of Israel is only good news, for those who come into the House of Truth, when they take the deal that the Father of Truth offers. People must come into the House of Truth, by making the King of the kingdom, their king, because they believe the Good News, that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).

Come into the House of Truth!

How To Fully Carry Out The Great Commission

How can people fully carry out the Great Commission?

The best way to answer this is to answer some related questions.

What does it mean to fully carry out the Great Commission?

The Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) fully carry out the Great Commission, when they accomplish all eight directives of the Great Commission.  They fully carry out the Great Commission, when they go in the name of the Man of Truth to people of every ethnic group.  They fully carry out the Great Commission, when they teach people to obey all of the commandments of the Man of Truth, which brings people into obedience to the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law), instead of the teachings of the Rabbis.  They fully carry out the Great Commission, when they baptize people, after they have repented of sin, in living water.  They fully carry out the Great Commission, when they continue to do so, despite every hardship and distraction, as long as they are on this Earth.  They fully carry out the Great Commission, when they preach to all people, the entire Good News, that revolves around the kingdom, that the Man of Truth will set up on this Earth, when he returns.  They fully carry out the Great Commission, when they confirm the Good News with supernatural signs.  They fully carry out the Great Commission, when they are baptized in the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost), and speak in tongues.

Has anyone ever, personally, fully carried out the Great Commission?

In reality, there have been very few people throughout history, who have personally, fully carried out the Great Commission, by accomplishing all of these eight directives.  Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul), Peter the Jew (Cephas aka Sh'mon aka Simon aka The Apostle Peter), John the Jew (Yochanon ben Zebedee aka The Apostle John), are all recorded in the Book of Truth (The Bible) as doing so.  History records that most of the remaining original Apostles of Truth, plus Matthias the Jew, who replaced Judas the Traitor, were also among those, who personally, fully carried out the Great Commission.  Saint Patrick also personally, fully carried out the Great Commission, hundreds of years later, as well as a few others, scattered across the last two thousand years of history.

So it is certainly possible, for someone to personally, fully carry out all eight directives of the Great Commission, but it is rarely done.  So fully carrying out the Great Commission, needs to be examined on a much larger scale, than just the individual Child of Truth.

Can a group of the Children of Truth fully carrying out the Great Commission?

The fact is, that not everyone can personally go to people in far away places, to preach the Good News, and teach others, to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth.

However, everyone can be involved in fully carrying out the Great Commission, by partnering with those who go, because those who do their part by going, can only do so, with the help of others, who do their part by sending (Romans 10:14-15).  Every Child of Truth has some part to play in carrying out the Great Commission, that is assigned to them by the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 12:28-30).

So, everyone who does, whatever they can to do, to help others carry out the Great Commission, will be counted as doing the work themselves (Matthew 10:40-42).   Those who do their part in giving financially to help others go, will be accounted as going themselves by the Father of Truth (Philippians 4:14-17).

Even those who go, usually are only responsible for carrying out some of the directives of the Great Commission, and work with others, who are responsible for carrying out other directives of the Great Commission, in order to fully carry out the Great Commission (1 Corinthians 3:5-9).  So an entire group can corporately, fully carry out the Great Commission, by working together.

Are the Children of Truth fully carrying out the Great Commission today?

Even still, there are very few congregations, or organizations, that have corporately, fully carried out the Great Commission.  The truth is, that I have never found a congregation, or an organization, that is corporately, fully carrying out the Great Commission, in my lifetime.  However, I have found plenty of groups, that are carrying out part of the directives of the Great Commission.

Some organizations go to people of all ethnic groups, in the name of the Man of Truth, but they only teach people to obey, part of what the Man of Truth commanded, and only tell people, part of the Good News about the Man of Truth.  Some organizations teach people to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth, when it comes to the Law of Truth, but they are not going out to anyone, and they have no supernatural signs confirming the Good News.  Most organizations baptize people in water, but many do not require repentance from sin, and many even reject the baptism of the Spirit of Truth, that the Man of Truth gives.  Some organizations continue to spread part of the Good News, through all kinds of hardship, but they are against people speaking in tongues.  Many organizations tell people the part of the Good News, about what the Man of Truth did on this Earth to cleanse them of their sin, but never tell people the rest of the Good News, about the Man of Truth returning to rule this Earth.  Some organizations have supernatural signs confirming the message of the Good News, but they only go, where they feel that it is safe, and convenient to go, and then back off, when there is controversy, or persecution.  Some organizations are baptized in the Spirit of Truth, and speak in tongues, but they disregard everything, that the Man of Truth said, about the Law of Truth.

Nonetheless, the Children of Truth are collectively, fully carrying out the Great Commission today - in a piece meal fashion.  The corporate efforts of various groups, to partially carry out the Great Commission, overlap each other, so that what is missing in the efforts of one group, is covered by another group.  Collectively, their efforts are like overlapping shingles, working together to cover the entire roof.

How can the Children of Truth fully carry out the Great Commission?

Individual Children of Truth often move from congregation to congregation, and from organization to organization across their lifetime, so that what is missing from fulfilling one part of the Great Commission in one place, can be experienced in another place.  They have an internal longing, to be involved in a group, that is fully carrying out the Great Commission, even if they cannot find an organization, that is doing it.

Yet, it is still possible for people, to form a group, that fully carries out the Great Commission, because that is what the Children of Truth in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) did, after the Man of Truth left this Earth.  They just need to do the same things that those Children of Truth did.

The Children of Truth in the Renewed Covenant had to start, where they are already at.   They were already carrying out some parts of the Great Commission to some degree, before they learned all of the directives of the Great Commission.  Once they learned all of the directives of the Great Commission, then they started taking action to carry out the directives of the Great Commission, that they had not been carrying out before.  Then over time, they eventually got to the point, where they were fully carrying out the Great Commission.

The Children of Truth in this current time, also have to start, where they are already at.  They might have already been carrying out some parts of the Great Commission to some degree, before they learned all of the directives of the Great Commission.  Once they learn of all of the directives of the Great Commission, then they need to start taking action to carry out the directives of the Great Commission, that they had not been carrying out before.  Then over time, they will eventually get to the point, where they are fully carrying out the Great Commission.

How do the Children of Truth start carrying out the Great Commission more fully?

The best place to start, is the place, that the Man of Truth told the Children of Truth in the Renewed Covenant, to start. He told them to start small, by carrying out the directives of the Great Commission, that they already knew to do, among those of their own ethnic group (Matthew 10:5-8).  He told them, if they were only carrying out some of the directives of the Great Commission, because they had slacked off in fully carrying out the Great Commission, then start putting more effort into carrying out those directives, that they were still carrying out (Revelation 3:1-3).

So, for example, if a group knows, that they are supposed to go to people in the name of the Man of Truth, to preach the Good News to those, who have not heard, then they need to start doing that in their own community.  In like manner, if another group had been teaching people to obey everything, that the Man of Truth commanded, but then started teaching people, to observe what the Rabbis teach as well, then they need to return to teaching people to obey everything, that the Man of Truth commanded, including the commandments to avoid, what the Rabbis teach.

How do the Children of Truth move towards more fully carrying out the Great Commission?

Exactly, which directives a group of the Children of Truth needs to start doing, to move towards fully carrying out the Great Commission, depends upon which directives that they are currently doing, and how fully they are doing those directives.  They may be doing some directives fully, doing other directives partially, and not doing other directives at all.  For example, they might be going to people in foreign lands, to preach the part of  the Good News, about what the Man of Truth did, to save people from their sins, and do not even know, that the baptism of the Spirit of Truth even exists.  In this example, they are fully carrying out the directive to go, they are partially carrying out the directive to preach the Good News, because they are not preaching all of the Good News, and they are not carrying out the directive about being baptized in the Spirit of Truth at all.

In order to assess, which directives a group of the Children of Truth is doing well, which ones the group is doing partially, and which ones the group is not doing at all, they begin by rightly dividing the Word of Truth.  After all, they cannot take action based on confidence in what the Book of Truth says, until they know what the Book of Truth says (Romans 10:17).

The Children of Truth have to be confident enough in that what is written in the Book of Truth, to take action, because they believe it in their heart.  It is not enough to just know, what the Book of Truth says with their mind, but those words have to penetrate into their heart.  Their actions must be based on the second of the two kinds of knowledge, that people can have.  It would actually be sinful for them, to try to carry out the directives of the Great Commission, when they are doing so, for any other reason, than their confidence in what is written in the Book of Truth (Romans 14:23).

If the Children of Truth try to carry out the directives, for any other reason, than obedience to the Man of Truth, then they are likely ended up wounded, and looking foolish, without any real results (Acts 19:13-16).  It is vitally important, that their motivation for striving to carry out all of the directives of the Great Commission, is because they are living to please the King.

Once a group of the Children of Truth has strengthened their efforts, to carry out the directives of the Great Commission, that they were already certain about, and then learned enough of the Doctrine of Truth, to be convinced in their heart, that they need to start carrying out the other directives of the Great Commission, then they are ready to take the next step, to fully carrying out the Great Commission.  What exactly, that next step entails, depends upon which directives, that they need to learn how to carry out.

How do the Children of Truth learn how to carry out the directives of the Great Commission?

One thing that a group of the Children of Truth can do, is find another group that is excelling in carrying out a directive, that the group is not carrying out fully, and learn how to carry out directive from the other group.  For example, if a group is excelling at teaching people how to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth, but they do not have supernatural signs confirming the message of the Good News, then they could find a group, that is excelling in demonstrations of the power of the Spirit of Truth, and learn how to do that from them.

There is no need, for one group to be concerned about being lead down the wrong path, by another group, as long as they compare everything that the other group teaches, to what is written in the Word of Truth, and believe only what they can find, written in the Book of Truth (Acts 17:10-12).

This will be a lot easier, if they learn how to hear the voice of the Spirit of Truth.  It is so much easier, to clearly hear the voice of the Spirit of Truth, once the Children of Truth have been baptized in the Spirit of Truth.  It is so important to burn with the fire of the Spirit of Truth, that the Father of Truth has provided five ways to start a fire, so that no group of the Children of Truth, has to go without producing the sound of power.  The Spirit of Truth will even sometimes help them, to tell people of other ethnic groups, who speak a language that they do not know, about the Man of Truth, by putting words in their mouth.

The Spirit of Truth was given to lead them into all truth (John 16:13).  The baptism of the Spirit of Truth is so vital, that the Man of Truth told the Children of Truth, "Don't leave home without it!" (Acts 1:4-5).  The Spirit of Truth will even sometimes aid the Children of Truth, by speaking a message through them, in the language that they do not know (Acts 2:4-11). 

Then the Spirit of Truth will help the Children of Truth to learn more easily how to carry out the rest of the directives of the Great Commission.

The Spirit of Truth will lead them into the truth, about what the Renewed Covenant says, about the Law of Truth.  Once they come to know, that the Book of Truth is composed of the inseparable covenants, each of which contains the unchanging law, then they will be able to learn, how to teach people, how to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth, without any Rabbinic Distort.

The Spirit of Truth will make it plain, that the Torah is relevant today.  The Spirit of Truth will teach them how to stress the weightier matters of the Law, without neglecting the lessor matters of the Law.  The Spirit of Truth will guide them, in teaching others to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth, without putting the cart before the horse.

Once the Children of Truth learn the importance, of correctly answering, "Does it matter what I eat?", then they will increase their strength of days, by taking part in the best healthcare plan ever, so that they have more energy, for carrying out the Great Commission.  They will find the time, to do their part in carrying out the Great Commission, once they learn who changed the Sabbath, and how to never be bored on the Sabbath.  They will better understand, how everything works together, to bring about the kingdom of the Man of Truth, once they start participating in the Feasts of Truth, that form the Greatest Play Ever.

The Children of Truth will be able to teach others, how to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth, once they understand, that he did not come to do away with the Law of Truth, but to bring everything in it to fulfillment (Matthew 5:17-19).  They will teach others to obey the commandments of the Law of Truth, out a heart that loves the Father of Truth, and other people (Romans 13:8-10).  The Spirit of Truth will give them a heart full of love, so that they do what the Law of Truth commands, from their heart, instead of doing it, out of obligation (Galatians 5:14-18).

The Children of Truth will be able to preach all of the Good News, once they come to understand, that the Man of Truth is first and foremost, the Messiah of Israel, even though it has always been about the Gentiles.  They will come to understand the secret plan of the Father of Truth, to save the human race, and why He is the greatest Zionist.  They will understand, that there is no Good News about the kingdom of the Man of Truth, without the return of the King.  They will understand, that the Good News of the kingdom of the Man of Truth, is what the Prophets wrote about, that will bring about the end of all trouble.

The Good News is, that the Man of Truth has come, to bring about the kingdom (Matthew 4:23)!  The Good News is, that the kingdom is meant, to include people of every ethnic group (Matthew 24:14)!  The Good News is, that the kingdom promised by the Father of Truth, is coming, for everyone who repents (Mark 1:14-15)!  The Good News is, that both Jews and Gentiles, can be baptized in the Spirit of Truth (Acts 15:7-9)!  The Father of Truth will save everyone, who believes the Good News about the Man of Truth (Romans 1:16)!  The Good News about the Man of Truth, is that he died for the sins of all people, and then rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)!  The Man of Truth is returning to this Earth, to destroy everyone, who does not obey the warning of the Good News, to repent (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9)!  Those who persevere through every hardship, to preach the Good News, about the Man of Truth rising from the dead, will reign with him, in his kingdom (2 Timothy 2:8-12)!

The Spirit of Truth enables the Children of Truth, to have heroic resolve, in carrying out the Great Commission.

The Children of Truth will be strengthened, by the Spirit of Truth causing the Man of Truth, to live in them (Ephesians 3:16-19).  Then, they will have the strength to persist, in carrying out the Great Commission, through good times, and bad times (Philippians 4:11-13).  They will be strengthened, by the witness of the Spirit of Truth, that they will inherit a place in the kingdom of the Man of Truth (Colossians 1:9-13).  The Man of Truth living in them, will give them the strength, to persevere through every hardship, to preach the Good News of his kingdom (2 Timothy 4:17-18).

The Spirit of Truth will help the Children of Truth in removing the roadblocks, that prevent them from operating in power, when they preach the Good News.

The Spirit of Truth will help the Children of Truth, to know the right answer to the question, "Whose report will you believe?".  The Spirit of Truth will help them, learn the right answer to the question, "Where does sickness come from?".  The Spirit of Truth will help them discern, when people need to repent, because they are suffering from, the chastening of the Lord.  The Spirit of Truth will operate through them, so that people will know, that there is a doctor in the house, called the Man of Truth!

The Spirit of Truth will give the Children of Truth the power, to overcome the power of the dark side.  The Spirit of Truth will give them the power, to free people from a home invasion, by the Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods).   The Spirit of Truth will give them the power, to free people from the monster within, that imprisons them from the inside.  The Spirit of Truth will give them power, to cast the Spirits of Lies out of people, so that others can believe the message of the Good News.

The Children of Truth have been given power over sickness, and the Spirits of Lies by the Man of Truth (Matthew 10:1).  The Spirit of Truth is the source of the power, to confirm the message of the Good News, for them as well as the Man of Truth, when he was on this Earth (Luke 4:14).  The Spirit of Truth is the source of power, to confirm the message of the Good News, everywhere that the Good News is preached (Romans 15:18-19).  The Spirit of Truth operates this power through them, so that people will be confidant, that the message of the Good News is really from the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 2:4-5).  It is really just a matter of learning how to cooperate with the Spirit of Truth, so the Spirit of Truth can demonstrate the power through them (1 Corinthians 12:7-11).

The Spirit of Truth will give the Children of Truth the wisdom, to know where to go, to preach the Good News, with demonstrations of power to confirm the message.  The Spirit of Truth will sometimes lead them where to go with dreams and visions.

The Spirit of Truth will direct the Children of Truth, who in their group should go, and where they need to go (Acts 13:1-4).  The Spirit of Truth will also direct those who are sent, where not to go to (Acts 16:5-6).  The Spirit of Truth will sometimes direct those who are sent, to places they had not considered, in dreams (Acts 16:9-10).

The Spirit of Truth will lead the Children of Truth, to only baptize people in water, after they have repented of sin, because they believed the Good News.  The Spirit of Truth will steer them around every argument against the necessity of repentance, by those who have taken out of context, what the Book of Truth says about, rebuking those who sin.  The Spirit of Truth will keep them, from the Doctrine of Lies that teaches, that water baptism will save people, without repentance.  The Spirit of Truth will give them the urgency, of someone saving people from a burning house, in bringing people to repentance.  The Spirit of Truth will remind them that the goal, is to keep people out of the Chamber of Horrors, and not just to get them wet.  The Spirit of Truth will show them, that water baptism is for marking those, who have received the better circumcision.

The Children of Truth are to only baptize in water, those who have repented of their sins (Matthew 3:6-8).  They are to mark those, who have had their sins forgiven, because they have repented, by baptizing them in water (Mark 1:4-5).  Those who they baptize in water, must have a change in their actions, to prove that they have really repented (Luke 3:7-9).  Those who they baptize in water, have died with the Man of Truth, and have rose again with him, as people who are dead to sin (Romans 6:2-7).  The Children of Truth are not to baptize, those who repent, in any name other than, what is given in the Great Commission (1 Corinthians 1:13-15).  The Children of Truth are to never forget, that baptizing people in water, only matters, after people have believed the Good News, that leads to repentance (1 Corinthians 1:16-18).  The Children of Truth are to baptize, those who repent, to mark, that their heart has been circumcised (Colossians 2:11-13).

The Spirit of Truth will prompt the Children of Truth, to do everything in the name of the Man of Truth, instead of doing things in the name of their group.  The Spirit of Truth will remind them, that he is the one, who fulfilled the death of the lamb, at the better Passover, not their group.   The Spirit of Truth will help them to place the focus on the one, who the Gospels were wrote about.

The Children of Truth are to confirm the Good News, about what that Man of Truth did in this Earth, with supernatural signs done in the name of the Man of Truth (Acts 3:13-16).  They are to preach the Good News about the Man of Truth, in the name of the Man of Truth, so people can call upon that name, and be saved (Acts 4:10-12).  They are to teach people of all ethnic groups, in the name of the Man of Truth, to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth, because everything will be brought into obedience to that name (Philippians 2:9-11).

So a group of the Children of Truth can eventually get to the point, that they are fully carrying out the Great Commission.  Most of the time, each group is already carrying out some of these directives, at least part of the way.  So they probably do not need to learn how carry out all eight directives in the order just given.  For example, if they are already been baptized in the Spirit of Truth and speaking in tongues, then they do not need to work on carrying that one out more fully.  Also, a group does not have to develop carrying out all eight directives in the order given, although it will be a lot easier, if they start with being baptized in the Spirit of Truth, and speaking in tongues, first.  As already explained, that makes learning how to fully carry out the other directives, much easier.

While the Children of Truth in one group, are learning how to better carry out the directives of the Great Commission, that they are not fully carrying out, they can also work with another group that is fully carrying out those directives. 

For example, suppose there are two groups with different directives they excel at.  One group excels at going to other ethnic groups, and preaching the Good News, but needs to improve their ability, to teach people, how to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth.  The other group excels at teaching people, how to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth, but really is not able, to go to people of different ethnic groups, and preach the Good News.  The first group could go, and create new congregations among these other ethnic groups, and the second group could follow behind, and teach these new congregations, how to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth.  In the process, both groups would learn from each other, how to strengthen the directives, that they need to more fully carry out.

What is the first step in fully carrying out the Great Commission?

Obviously, the very first step for anyone to fully carrying out the Great Commission, is to come into the House of Truth.

People must come to a place of repentance, so they can come into the House of Truth (Matthew 9:13).  No one can be part of the kingdom, that the Father of Truth will give to the Man of Truth, unless they first repent, because they believed the Good News of his kingdom (Mark 1:14-15).  No one can be cleansed of their sins, and come into the House of Truth, where they will look forward to the return of the Man of Truth, to set up his kingdom on this Earth, without first repenting of their sins (Acts 3:19-21).  No can baptize others in water, in the name of the Man of Truth, and be baptized in the Spirit of Truth, until they come into the House of Truth (Acts 19:4-6).  No one can teach others to obey the commandments of the Man of Truth, until they come into the House of Truth (Romans 2:21-23).  No one can preach the Good News of his kingdom, unless they first come into the House of Truth, by making the Man of Truth their king, because they believe the Good News, that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).

Come into the House of Truth!

Another Gospel

How can you tell if someone is preaching another Gospel?

It starts with an understanding of what a gospel is.  The word "gospel" means "good news".  A gospel would be the good news that is preached.  A gospel is defined by the collection of writings that tell what that good news is.

The Gospel of the Book of Truth (The Bible) is defined by the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) and the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) that tell the Good News about the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).

Some preach another Gospel by adding other books to the Book of Truth.

For example, Mormons add "another testimony of the Man of Truth" in the Book of Mormon to the two testimonies of the Man of Truth in the Book of Truth to complete the Gospel that they preach.  This Gospel is not the same Gospel that comes from using only the Book of Truth to define the Gospel.  The Mormons are preaching another Gospel.

However, the Book of Mormon is far from being the only example of a book that is outside of the Book of Truth, that people use to complete the Gospel that they preach.  There are all kinds of people, who tell others that they have found the missing books of the Bible, and then use those books to complete the Gospel that they preach.

For example, the False Church of Rome (and others) adds books from the Apocrypha, to the Book of Truth, to complete the Gospel that they preach.  They are preaching another Gospel.

In like manner, there are those who add Gentile books, like 1 Clements, that were written well after the last book of the Book of Truth was written, to complete the Gospel that they preach.  They are preaching another Gospel.

Also, there are those who add Jewish books, like the Talmud, or the Book of Enoch, or the Book of Jasher, to complete the Gospel that they preach.  They are adding Rabbinic Distort to the Book of Truth.  They are preaching another Gospel.

The writings of the Prophets of Truth, found in the Original Covenant, and the writings of the Apostles of Truth, found in the Renewed Covenant, are the only testimonies of the Man of Truth, that people can accept as truth, in order to come into the House of Truth (Ephesians 2:20-22).  The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) confirmed that the Man of Truth was His Son, with an audible voice on the Mount of Transfiguration, to confirm that the Apostles of Truth, were not being deceived by following cleverly told lies (2 Peter 1:16-18).  Yet the Book of Truth, is a more sure word of prophecy, than standing on the Mount of Transfiguration, and hearing the audible voice of the Father of Truth, because the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) moved directly upon men when they wrote it (2 Peter 1:19-21).  The Man of Truth ends the Book of Truth, by saying that there is nothing more to be revealed, and anyone who adds anything to the Book of Truth, will suffer the wrath of His Father (Revelation 22:16-18).

Anyone who adds any other book to the Book of Truth to define the Good News is preaching another Gospel. 

Another way that people preach another Gospel is by removing books from the Book of Truth.  They assert that there are books in the Original Covenant or the Renewed Covenant that do not belong in the Book of Truth.  Of course, they say those books should be removed from the Book of Truth.  The Gospel they preached is defined by their own edited version of the Book of Truth.

There have been a few people, like Marcion of Sinope, who actually removed the entire Original Covenant, and most of the books of the Renewed Covenant, from the Book of Truth to form his own version.  His own version contained nothing except his own version of the Gospel of Luke and his own edited versions of ten of the books written by Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul).  There have been many others who tried to get various books removed from the Book of Truth as well.  For example. Martin Luther tried to get five books removed from the Book of Truth, because those books contradicted his doctrine.  Both Marcion of Sinope and Martin Luther were preaching another Gospel.

The Father of Truth said, that no one is to change His Word by removing any part of it (Deuteronomy 4:2).  The Father of Truth said, that no one is to remove anything from His commandments (Deuteronomy 12:32).  The Man of Truth said, that he in no shape, form or fashion, came to take anything away from what was written in the Original Covenant, nor to teach anyone to not keep even the least important commandment in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) (Matthew 5:17-19).  The Man of Truth said, that His Father would take away the name of anyone from the Book of Life, and take away their place in the New Jerusalem, who removed any part of the Book of Truth (Revelation 22:19-21).

Anyone who removes any book from the Book of Truth to define the Good News is preaching another Gospel. 

There are yet others who do not try to add books to the Book of Truth or remove books from the Book of Truth, but instead try to replace passages of the Book of Truth in various ways, that they say have been corrupted in some manner.

The Father of Truth performs what He says because He keeps His promises (Deuteronomy 9:5).  He promises to perform His Word when people obey His Word (1 Kings 6:12).  He arranges circumstances so that His Word is performed (2 Chronicles 10:15).  He made the universe and preserves it, so He is certainly able to preserve and perform His Word, to show forth His righteousness (Nehemiah 9:6-8).

People come and go like the grass, but He preserves His Word forever (Isaiah 40:6-8).  The Father of Truth is stronger than anyone who has ever sought to corrupt the Book of Truth, that contains His Word (1 Corinthians 1:25).  The Renewed Covenant is incorruptible, because it came from the Spirit of Truth, and has caused people to born again throughout all ages, since it can never become corrupted by mere men (1 Peter 1:22-25).

The Book of Truth is not corrupted in any manner whatsoever, because the Father of Truth is greater than those who have sought to corrupt it, many times over the centuries.  The Book of Truth contains The Incorruptible Word. 

Those who claim the Book of Truth has been corrupted are preaching another Gospel.

There are other, more insidious, ways that people preach another Gospel.

They do not preach another Gospel by openly adding another book to the Book of Truth.  Instead they add things found in the contents of other books, to the contents of the Book of Truth, to define the Gospel that they preach.  The Gospel that they preach is defined by the contents of the Book of Truth, plus content from other sources.

Mind you, I am not talking about someone referring to the contents of support materials to gain a better understanding, or to make the meaning clearer to other people. I am not talking about referring to collaborating materials, like the writings of Josephus, to support what the Book of Truth says, for even the Book of Truth makes references to collaborating materials, like "The Book of The Chronicles of the Kings of the Media and Persia" (Esther 10:2).  I am also not talking about using a culturally relevant expression, or event, to get a point across, for even the Man of Truth did that when he confronted Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-5).   I am not talking about things like a concordance, to help them provide a better understand a passage of the Book of Truth in its original language, because we are supposed to study these things out so we can understand the Book of Truth correctly (2 Timothy 2:15).   I'm talking about people adding in ideas, from other sources, to the contents of the Book of Truth, to define the Gospel that they preach.

For example, adding in ideas taken from psychology, the New Age, and Greek philosophy to shape their view of the contents of the Book of Truth.  We are told to avoid the wisdom of this world (1 Corinthians 3:18-20).  (Philosophy means "love of wisdom" and Greek philosophy is the love of the wisdom of this world.)  We are told to avoid the very same vain philosophies that modern psychology arrives from (Colossians 2:8).  We are told to give no credence to any so-called "science" that contradicts the Book of Truth in any form or fashion (1 Timothy 6:20-21).  We are told to avoid the same "enlightened knowledge" of the New Age that groups like the Nicolaitanes and other Gnostics (Gnostic literally means "enlightened with knowledge") taught (Revelation 2:15).

The Book of Truth is always right and anything that disagrees with the Book of Truth is simply wrong.  We are supposed to renew our minds to line up with the contents of the Book of Truth, instead of trying to line up the contents of the Book of Truth with whatever the current trend is (Romans 12:2).  We are supposed to stand against everything that would exalt itself against the Book of Truth, and tear down every idea that would create a stronghold in our minds against the contents of the Book of Truth (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).  The Book of Truth, with nothing added, keeps us from being blown around by every wind of doctrine that is popular at the time (Ephesians 4:14).  We are supposed to live differently than the rest of the world, because our minds have been renewed by the Book of Truth (Ephesians 4:22-24). 

Anyone who adds ideas from outside of the Book of Truth, to define the Gospel that they preach, is preaching another Gospel.

Similarly, most of those who preach another Gospel by removing parts of the Book of Truth, are far more subtle than Marcion of Sinope or Martin Luther.  They effectively remove parts of the Book of Truth by purposely neglecting to teach the parts of the Book of Truth that disagree with their doctrine. Some even go so far as to attack those who study those parts of the Book of Truth, because doing so leads people away from blindly following another Gospel, that they are preaching.

For example, Rick Warren attacked those who study the prophecies found in the Book of Truth in his book, "The Purpose Driven Life" (Pages 285-286).  He said anyone who studied such prophecies was not fit for the Kingdom of the Father of Truth.  Since prophecy accounts for more than one quarter of the Book of Truth, including many of the words spoken directly by the Man of Truth, then he is saying that anyone who studies the words of the Man of Truth, is not fit for the Kingdom of the Father of Truth.  Can there be any doubt that anyone who attacks studying the very words of the Man of Truth, found in the Book of Truth, is preaching another Gospel?

The Father of Truth expressly commanded, that no one was to remove the unfulfilled prophecies that were given through the Prophets of Truth, because they were given to cause people to repent of their sin, and be saved from His wrath (Jeremiah 26:2-3).  The Man of Truth said, that we should watch for the signs of the end times that he warned about, so we could be worthy to escape the tribulation that would come upon the entire Earth (Luke 21:34-36).  The entirety of the Good News relies on the unfulfilled prophecy, that the Children of Truth shall rise from the dead, to be with the Man of Truth when he comes for them (1 Corinthians 15:19-23).  The Children of Truth are able to endure suffering for the Man of Truth, because of the unfulfilled prophecy, that those who do so, will also reign over the Earth with the Man of Truth (2 Timothy 2:10-12).  The Man of Truth says, that those who read and study the Revelation, that His Father gave him to give to John the Jew (Yochanon ben Zebedee aka The Apostle John), are the ones who are fit for his kingdom (Revelation 1:1-3).

There are still yet others, who effectively remove part of the Book of Truth, by teaching that people can be saved, by keeping the commandments of the Law of Truth.  Some even say, that the Gentiles must keep every commandment of the Law of Truth, to be saved.  Some have even went to so far as to say, that Jews who do not accept the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, are still saved, if they keep the commandments of the Law of Truth.

The Father of Truth told the Jewish people, in the Law of Truth, that he would raise up the Man of Truth, and put His Word in his mouth, so that everyone was required to do whatever he said (Deuteronomy 18:17-19).  The Man of Truth said, that he is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and there is no other means of being right with His Father, other than going through him (John 14:6).  The Apostles of Truth told the Jews of Israel, that whoever would not accept the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, that was foretold in the Law of Truth, would be destroyed, as witnessed by all of the Prophets of Truth (Acts 3:22-24).  Stephen, the Martyr of Truth said, rejecting the Man of Truth as the Messiah that Moses spoke of, is no different than rejecting the Law of Truth, that Moses wrote down (Acts 7:37-39).  Even those who are born Jewish, cannot be justified by doing what the Law of Truth says, because justification only comes by accepting the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, who Moses spoke about in the Law of Truth (Galatians 2:15-16).

When some of the Children of Truth, who were raised in the traditions of the Mishnah, said that the Gentiles had to be circumcised, and observe the entire Law of Truth to be saved, then Peter the Jew, the Apostle of Truth, answered that both Jews and Gentiles are saved by faith in the Man of Truth, because neither is capable of keeping the Law of Truth (Acts 15:5-11).  James the Jew (Ya'acob the brother of the Man of Truth), the Apostle of Truth, said that his judgment was, that the Gentiles did not have to observe everything in the Law of Truth, to come into the House of Truth, but only certain bare requirements, with the opportunity to learn more from the Law of Truth later (Acts 15:19-21).  The Apostles of Truth then wrote a letter, stating that they gave no such commandment that Gentiles had to be circumcised, and keep the entire Law of Truth, to be saved (Acts 15:23-24).  The Spirit of Truth also witnessed, that the Gentiles only need to keep these bare requirements, from the Law of Truth, in order to come into the House of Truth (Acts 15:28-29).  While Paul the Jew and the other Apostles of Truth still observed everything in the Law of Truth, the Gentiles only had to keep these bare minimum requirements of the Law of Truth, to remain in the House of Truth (Acts 21:24-25).

The Law of Truth was not meant to bring justification, but rather condemnation, so that people would come to the Man of Truth for redemption (Romans 3:20-24).  The blood of the Man of Truth brings justification, to those who place their faith in him, without observing every single commandment of the Law of Truth (Romans 3:25-28).  The Man of Truth died, so the Spirit of Truth could live in people, to enable them to keep the righteous requirements of the Law of Truth, which people are powerless to do, in their own strength (Romans 8:2-4).  Whoever tries to be justified by doing what is in the Law of Truth, rejects the grace of the Father of Truth, that He showed in having the Man of Truth die in their place (Galatians 2:21).  Whoever gets circumcised, or otherwise tries to keep every little detail of the Law of Truth, to be justified, has fallen from the grace, that the Father of Truth gives to those, who put their trust in the what the Man of Truth did (Galatians 5:2-4).  The Law of Truth made no one holy enough to be in the House of Truth, but the better hope of trusting in what the Man of Truth did on their behalf, made them holy enough (Hebrews 7:19).

The entire reason that the Law of Truth was ever given to the Jewish people was to bring about the salvation of the Gentiles through them because it has always been about the Gentiles.  The only way that the Jews could ever fulfill their calling, to show the Gentiles how to live in a manner that is pleasing to the Father of Truth, is by accepting the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel.  The Man of Truth makes it possible for Jews to keep the Law of Truth in the way that His Father had always intended.

So those who teach, that Gentiles must keep every commandment of the Law of Truth to be saved, or that Jews can be saved, without accepting the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, by keeping the commandments of the Law of Truth, have removed the most important part of the Book of Truth. They have removed the justification, that comes from faith alone in what the Man of Truth did on the cross, from the Renewed Covenant.  They are preaching another Gospel.
So whoever literally removes or attempts to remove part of the Book of Truth is preaching another Gospel.  Whoever effectively removes part of the Book of Truth by purposely ignoring those parts that disagree with their doctrine is preaching another Gospel.  Whoever says that Gentiles must keep any requirement of the Law of Truth to come into the House of Truth, other than the bare minimum laid out by the Apostles of Truth, has removed their justification by faith in the Man of Truth from the Book of Truth, and is preaching another Gospel.  Whoever says that Jews can come into the House of Truth by keeping the commandments of the Law of Truth, while rejecting the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, who the Law of Truth required everyone to accept, has removed the requirement that justification can only come from faith in the Man of Truth, and is preaching another Gospel.

Anyone who purposely neglects to study any part of the Book of Truth, steer others away any part of the Book of Truth, or purposely excludes any part of the Book of Truth, to define the Gospel that they preach, is preaching another Gospel.

There is one more, subtle way, that people preach another Gospel.  They do not come right out and say that the contents of the Book of Truth are somehow corrupted.  Instead, they present a newer, "more accurate", translation of the Book of Truth, that changes the intent and meaning of the message of the Book of Truth.

For example, they create a supposed thought-for-thought translation, like The Message, that differs significantly in meaning and intent in some passages, from a word-for-word translation, like the King James version.  A careful comparison to the original language documents, show that the difference in their "new and improved" translation, is not even close to what it says in the original language documents.  This is not a case of human error, or the words of the translation changing meaning over time, or anything like that.  This is a case of willfully changing the meaning and intent in their translation to match their own doctrine, like in the case of the one disturbing sentence found in many thought-for-thought translations.
 
It is by knowing the words of the Father of Truth that we come to understand how to live (Deuteronomy 8:3).  The only thoughts of the Father of Truth that we can know are the ones that He has revealed in His Word so we can obey it (Deuteronomy 29:29).  We cannot know His thoughts any other way than by considering the words that He speaks (Isaiah 55:8-11).  It is by His Word that people come into the House of Truth (1 Peter 1:23).

The thoughts that occur in The Message, that contradict the words of the original language source documents, are not the thoughts of the Father of Truth, but rather the thoughts of Eugene Peterson.  Those who preach the Gospel found in a thought-for-thought translation, that contains thoughts which contradict the actual words found in the original language source documents, like The Message, are preaching another Gospel.

In like manner, others create a translation that supposedly reveals information that was previously lost in translation, by translating from source documents written in languages other than Hebrew or Greek.  They used these translations from what they claim are the "actual" original languages, to support doctrines that cannot be supported using the Hebrew or Greek composite documents, compiled from Hebrew and Greek manuscripts.

For example, they use an "Aramaic New Testament" to prove doctrines that are contrary, to what is written in the Greek codices and manuscripts.  The fact is that there is no evidence, even in the Syriac Peshitta, that the Renewed Covenant was originally written in any language other than Hebrew (for the Gospel of Matthew) or Greek (for the rest of it).  For example, Paul the Jew is plainly shown to be speaking in Greek (Acts 21:37).  Paul the Jew, is also plainly shown to be speaking in Hebrew ("Ebrais" in Greek) (Acts 21:39-40).  At no time, is he ever shown to be speaking in Aramaic ("Syriac" in Greek).  It is certain that most of the people who Paul the Jew wrote to, in places like Corinth, Thessaloniki and Philippi, were not able to read Aramaic, but were certainly able to read Greek.  Even in the Revelation, only Hebrew and Greek are used, but never Aramaic (Revelation 9:11).  There really is no room for doubt about the Original Language of the Renewed Covenant.

Those who preach a Gospel based on information found only in alternative language documents, which cannot be found in the Hebrew and Greek composite documents - that contain the words of the Book of Truth in the original languages - to define the Gospel that they preach, is preaching another Gospel.

So those who use thought-for-thought translations, that contain thoughts that are not in agreement with the actual words in the original language source documents, are preaching another Gospel.  Those who use translations based off of anything, other than the original language source documents written in Hebrew and Greek, are preaching another Gospel.

Anyone who uses any translation, other than one based on the actual words found in the original language source documents, to define the Gospel that they preach, is preaching another Gospel.

The bottom line is that everyone who preaches another Gospel, by either adding additional sources to form their doctrine, or removing in some manner any part of the Book of Truth that disagrees with their doctrine, or otherwise seeks to "correct" the contents of the Book of Truth to line up with their doctrine, does so because they believe that the Book of Truth is inadequate, or inaccurate, in some way.  They are ultimately saying, that the Father of Truth was not up to the task, of preserving His Word consistently throughout the ages, so that either material that belonged in it was somehow taken out, or material that did not belong in it was somehow inserted or some of the material was somehow changed.  Whoever preaches another Gospel, either has some sort of revelation, like Joseph Smith, where they find the missing books, that the Father of Truth was not able to keep in the Book of Truth, or like Martin Luther, they find the part of the Book of Truth, that the Father of Truth was not able to keep someone from inserting into the Book of Truth or like Eugene Peterson, they find the parts that were somehow changed to no longer reflect the thoughts of the Father of Truth.  This charge of the Father of Truth being incompetent, and allowing the Book of Truth to become corrupted, is a terrible insult to Him.

Paul the Jew warned against being deceived into accepting another Gospel that was in any way different than what he and the other Apostles of Truth preached (2 Corinthians 11:3-5).  He said another Gospel, other than the one found in the Book of Truth, is designed to take people out of the House of Truth, where the Man of Truth lives (Galatians 1:6).  He warned that anyone, who preaches anything other than what he preached, is perverting the Gospel found in the pages of the Book of Truth (Galatians 1:7).  He said that anyone, who preached anything different than what was found in the pages of the Book of Truth, that he had already preached to the church of Galatia, before he wrote his epistle to them in 54 AD, was under the curse of the Father of Truth (Galatians 1:9).

Do not be fooled by sincere sounding religious professionals. Every doctrine that comes from including everything in the Book of Truth is part of the Doctrine of Truth, while any doctrine that comes from either including another source, or excluding any part of the Book of Truth, or changing any part of the Book of Truth, is part of the Doctrine of Lies.  The entire Book of Truth was given by the Father of Truth (2 Timothy 3:16-17).  The entire Book of Truth is the only source for forming sound doctrine (Titus 1:7-9).

The Gospel of the Man of Truth comes from preaching what is in the Book of Truth, the whole Book of Truth and nothing but the Book of Truth.  Any Gospel that comes from preaching anything else is another Gospel.

So do not be kept out of the House of Truth, by someone preaching another Gospel, that was given by another spirit, and that tells about another "Jesus".  All that is required for you to come into the House of Truth, is to believe the Gospel that the Man of Truth preached, and repent of your sins (Mark 1:14-15).  This is the same Gospel that Paul the Jew preached, that is able to make both Jews and Gentiles righteous, by faith in the Man of Truth (Romans 1:16-17).  Anyone who will surrender control of their life to the Man of Truth, because they believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead, will come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:8-10).  Coming into the House of Truth, is as simple as hearing what the Word of Truth, that is in the Book of Truth, says and believing it (Romans 10:15-17).  Do not be robbed of the simplicity, of coming to the House of Truth through faith in the Man of Truth, by paying attention to anyone who is preaching another Gospel, built upon another "Jesus", that was given by another spirit (2 Corinthians 11:2-4).  Do not accept any tradition that you may have inherited, that contradicts the Book of Truth, because you come into the House of Truth, solely by putting your trust in the blood that the Man of Truth shed, before his Father raised him from the dead, so that your hope is in the Father of Truth, instead of another Gospel (1 Peter 1:18-21).

Come into the House of Truth!

Four Part Harmony

Do the timelines of the four Gospels match up?

After all they were all originally written by four different authors at different times and different places for different audiences to show different aspects of the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).

The Gospel of Matthew was written in Hebrew as a text book for Jews in the Promised Land to show that the Man of Truth was the eternal king of Israel promised to come from the line of David by fulfilling prophecies about those prophecies concerning Messiah of Israel.  The Gospel of Mark was written in Greek as a fast paced story for Romans to show that the Man of Truth was the perfect servant of the Father of Truth by his constant acts of obedience.  Luke was written in Greek as a history for Greeks to show that the Man of Truth was the perfect man by highlighting his discourses that showed his philosophy.  John was written in Greek as a midrash (explanation) for Jews who lived dispersed among the Gentiles to show that the Man of Truth was the savior of all people, not just the Jews, by showing that he was much more than just a mere man.

These gospels were written in the order of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  This is attested to by ancient authors, including Papias the disciple of John the Jew (Yochanon ben Zebedee aka The Apostle John), who lived close to the time of when they were written. This is also confirmed by a computer analysis of 1488 possible combinations of writing order that includes possible external source documents.

Matthew the Jew (Mattiyahu) could have easily written his eye-witness account for an exclusively Jewish audience during the ten years between the resurrection of the Man of Truth and when the Apostles of Truth realized that the Good News was for the Gentiles also (Acts 11:16-18).  Mark the Jew (Marcus aka John Mark aka Maccabee) could have used the Gospel of Matthew during the time that he returned to Jerusalem after he abandoned Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka the Apostle Paul) where he would have had access to the 55% of the Gospel of Matthew that accounts for 94% of the content of his Gospel as well as access to Peter the Jew (Cephas aka Simon aka Sh'mon aka Simeon aka the Apostle Peter) and John the Jew to fill in the details that make up the other 6% of his gospel (Acts 13:13).  Luke the Jew (Lucius aka Lukas aka Ohr) could have written his Gospel when he was in Judea for more than two years during the imprisonment of Paul the Jew in Caesarea where he would have had access to the two earlier Gospels that both contain things also found in 44% of his Gospel, could have verified the 24% of his gospel that is only found in one of the earlier gospels, and had time to collect the remaining events that make up the 35% of content that is unique to his Gospel (Acts 24:27).  John the Jew could have wrote his eye witness account that did not depend upon the earlier Gospels in Corinth, which had one of the largest Greek speaking Jewish populations in the world at the time, after he arrived there with Paul the Jew during his third mission trip in 57 AD (2 Corinthians 8:17-19).

The Gospels tell the same story with different details.  They are like a Southern Gospel quartet singing a song in four part harmony.   At times different members may sing solos, at other times two or three may sing together and sometimes all four will sing at once in perfect harmony.  Yet they are all singing the same song and all their parts come in at just the right time.  The bass, baritone, alto and tenor all sound distinct on their own but they come together to form a four part harmony.

The four Gospels are just like that.  Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are all distinct on their own but they come together to form a four part harmony.  This song goes something like this:

The four Gospels tell the story of what the Man of Truth did while he was on this Earth like a Southern Gospel quartet singing a song in perfect four part harmony.

The Man of Truth already existed with the Father of Truth before ever he came to this Earth as a man (John 1:1-14).

Gabriel the Angel of Truth announced that John the Baptist (Yochanon the Mikveh Man) would be born first to prepare the people of Israel for the arrival of the Messiah of Israel (Luke 1:5-17).  John the Baptist was born six months before the Man of Truth as a Prophet of Truth who would tell people that the Messiah of Israel was coming right behind him (Luke 1:56-76). John the Baptist grew up camping in the desert (Luke 1:76-80).

Six months after John the Baptist was conceived, Gabriel the Angel of Truth was sent to Nazareth to tell Mary the Jew (Mariam) that she would give birth to the Man of Truth while staying a virgin (Luke 1:26-33).   Mary the Jew conceived because she had confidence that the Father of Truth would perform what the Angel of Truth had told her (Luke 1:34-45).

Mary the Jew conceived by the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) and remained a virgin until after she gave birth to the Man of Truth (Matthew 1:18-25).  Joseph the Jew (the husband of Mary) was forced by the Romans to take Mary the Jew to Bethlehem so that the Man of Truth was born there instead of Nazareth (Luke 2:1-7).  Eight days later they went up to the Temple in Jerusalem to circumcise the Man of Truth as commanded in the Law that the Father of Truth gave Moses (Luke 2:21-23).  Then they went back to Nazareth after that (Luke 2:39).

Joseph the Jew later moved back to Bethlehem and was forced to flee to Egypt by Herod the Great when the Man of Truth was two years old (Matthew 2:1-14).  Joseph the Jew returned to the Promised Land with Mary the Jew and the Man of Truth to live in Bethlehem after Herod the Great died (Matthew 2:19-21).  Joseph the Jew was then forced to move back to Nazareth to escape the wicked son of Herod the Great (Matthew 2:22-23).

Afterwards the Man of Truth grew up as a child like anyone else (Luke 2:40).  Joseph the Jew and Mary the Jew took the Man of Truth to Jerusalem for the Passover every single year while he was growing up (Luke 2:41).  When he was twelve he demonstrated that he knew that he had been sent to Earth to carry out the plan of the Father of Truth (Luke 2:42-50).  The Man of Truth grew into a man in Nazareth (Luke 2:51-52).

When John the Baptist was grown he was still camping in the desert eating locusts and wearing clothes made from camel hair while preaching repentance to all who came to see him (Matthew 3:1-6).  He was preparing the way for the Messiah of Israel by preaching repentance and baptizing those who repented (Mark 1:1-6).  He did this in the fifteenth year of Emperor Tiberius (Luke 3:1-4).  John the Baptist was sent by the Father of Truth to point people to the Messiah of Israel (John 1:6-8).

John the Baptist preached that repentance had to be accompanied by actions that proved repentance to escape judgment (Matthew 3:7-10).  He warned that everyone who did not produce actions that proved repentance would be destroyed (Luke 3:7-14).  This caused the people of Israel to wonder if he was the Messiah of Israel (Luke 3:15).  John told them that he was not the Messiah of Israel but only sent to prepare the way for the Messiah of Israel (John 1:19-23).

John the Baptist said that one mightier than himself would bring judgment upon everyone who did not repent (Matthew 3:11-12).   He said the he only baptized people in water but this mightier one would baptize people in the Spirit of Truth (Mark 1:7-8).  He said that this mightier one would baptize people in fire and destroy the wicked with fire (Luke 3:16-17).  He said that he baptized people to prepare them to receive this mightier one, whose shoe he was not even worthy to untie, who lived among them (John 1:24-28).

Then the Man of Truth came to be baptized in the Jordan River - even though John the Baptist knew that he needed to be baptized by the Man of Truth (Matthew 3:13-17).  When he baptized the Man of Truth then the Spirit of Truth landed on the Man of Truth in the form of a dove (Mark 1:9-11).  Then the voice of the Father of Truth spoke from Heaven saying that the Man of Truth was his son (Luke 3:21-22).

Then the Man of Truth was lead by the Spirit of Truth into the wilderness to be tempted by the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) (Matthew 4:1-11).  The Father of Lies tempted him to sin for forty days there (Mark 1:12-13).  The Man of Truth overcame every temptation of the Father of Lies (Luke 4:1-13).

Then the Man of Truth came to John the Baptist when he was baptizing at Betharaba, east of the Jordan River, and he declared that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel who would take away the sins of the world like a sacrificial lamb (John 1:29-34).  When John the Baptist declared again the next day that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel then the Man of Truth began calling the people to follow him (John 1:35-51).

Then the Man of Truth returned to Galilee where he demonstrated the power of the Spirit of Truth operating through him and began teaching in the synagogues there to show that he was the Messiah of Israel (Luke 4:14-21).  He began performing miracles to show that he was the Messiah of Israel on the very first day that he returned to Galilee (John 2:1-11).

Then the Man of Truth went to Jerusalem to keep the Passover, drove out the money changers from the Temple for the first time and continued doing things to show that he was the Messiah of Israel (John 2:13-23).  Then the Man of Truth remained in Judea to have his disciples baptize more disciples so that John the Baptist declared when he was in Aenon (near Salim), shortly before he was imprisoned, that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel who people must obey (John 3:22-36).  On his way back to Galilee, the Man of Truth went through Samaria and caused many of the Samaritans, who were Gentiles, to acknowledge that he was the Savior of all people (John 4:1-42).

When John the Baptist was imprisoned then the Man of Truth returned to Galilee to preach repentance (Matthew 4:12-17).  He also continued to call more people to follow him (Mark 1:14-20).  He continued to perform miracles to prove that he was the Messiah of Israel and call yet more people to follow him (Luke 5:10-28).  He did these miracles so that people would believe that he was the Messiah of Israel (John 4:45-53).

These miracles that the Man of Truth did in Galilee not only lead those he personally called by name to follow him but also multitudes from other places to follow him as well (Matthew 4:18-25).  

Then the Man of Truth went again to Jerusalem for another Feast of Truth that was required by the Law of Truth where he did another miracle to prove that he was the Messiah of Israel (John 5:1-18).

After the Man of Truth returned to Galilee then he called the original twelve Apostles of Truth and gave them power to do miracles like he did so that people would believe their message that he was the Messiah of Israel (Mark 3:14-19).  He chose the original twelve Apostles of Truth from the many disciples that followed him (Luke 6:13-16).

Then he went to Capernaum where a woman washed his feet with her tears and ointment (Luke 7:36-50).

Afterwards the Man of Truth sent the original twelve Apostles of Truth to spread the message that he was the Messiah of Israel to the people of Israel (Matthew 10:1-15).  He told them anyone who did not accept their message would face terrible judgment (Mark 6:7-11).  He gave them power to do miracles and told them not to take anything with them as evidence that his Father was taking care of their needs (Luke 9:1-5).

Shortly after John the Baptist was beheaded the Man of Truth took the original twelve Apostles of Truth with him to the wilderness (Matthew 14:10-21).  They had just returned from the mission that he had sent them on and needed to rest but the crowds followed him (Mark 6:30-44).  So the Man of Truth healed the sick and fed the entire crowd of 5,000 families from five fish and two loaves of bread (Luke 9:10-17).  This happened right before the Man of Truth went to Jerusalem for Passover in the Spring so the crowd sought to force him to take the throne because they believed that he was the Messiah of Israel (John 6:1-15).

Shortly after that, the Man of Truth took Peter the Jew, John the Jew and James the brother of John (Ya'acob ben Zebedee) with him high up on a mountain where the Man of Truth became a bright as the Sun while Moses (Moishe) and Elijah (Eliyahu) suddenly appeared next to him (Matthew 17:1-9).  Then the Father of Truth pronounced that the Man of Truth was that Prophet of Truth who people must obey out of a bright cloud that covered all six of them (Mark 9:2-10).  Then suddenly the cloud was gone as well as Elijah and Moses so that the Man of Truth charged these three Apostles of Truth to not tell anyone what they saw until after he rose from the dead (Luke 9:28-36).

Then the the Man of Truth went back to Jerusalem in the Fall for the Feast of Tabernacles, as required in the Law of Truth, and declared that he was the Messiah of Israel as his many miracles proved (John 7:10-31).  When the Man of Truth told his enemies that he would soon be going where they could not go then they thought he meant to the Jews dispersed among the Gentiles because they knew that the Messiah of Israel was meant for the Gentiles as well as the Jews (John 7:32-36).  On the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles the Man of Truth declared that he was the Messiah of Israel who could cause the Spirit of Truth to live inside of people (John 7:37-43).

After the Man of Truth had returned to Galilee then he sent out another seventy of his disciples to spread the message that he was the Messiah of Israel to the people of Israel under the same conditions that he had sent the original twelve Apostles of Truth earlier (Luke 10:1-16).

The Man of Truth then went to Jerusalem again in the winter where he announced that he was going to die and rise again for the sake of not just the Jews but also for the Gentiles (John 10:7-18).  He also provoked his enemies in the Temple during the Feast of Dedication (Chanukah aka the Festival of Lights) by proclaiming that the miracles he did were proof that he was the Messiah of Israel (John 10:22-38).

After the Man of Truth returned to the far end of Galilee, he began going through the villages teaching people about what it really takes to be saved as he worked his way back towards Jerusalem (Luke 13:22-30).

On his way to Jerusalem, Mary (Mariam) and Martha sent word that their brother Lazarus was sick but he waited two days until he knew that Lazarus was dead before leaving so his disciple might believe that he was the Messiah of Israel (John 11:1-16).  When he arrived Lazarus had been dead for four days and decay had set in but the Man of Truth raised him from the dead anyways so that people could believe that he was the Messiah of Israel who would resurrect the dead (John 11:17-45).

Then some of the people reported what he had done to the religious leaders in Jerusalem and they met to decide what to do about the Man of Truth doing such things because they were afraid that the Romans would destroy Jerusalem if the people accepted him as the Messiah of Israel (John 11:46-48).  Then the Spirit of Truth spoke through the high priest that the Man of Truth was going to die to save all people as the religious leaders were plotting to kill the Man of Truth (John 11:49-53).  Since the religious leaders had everyone looking for him among the crowds that were coming into Jerusalem for Passover the Man of Truth went to Ephraim (John 11:54-57).

Then six days before Passover the Man of Truth came back to Bethany (John 12:1-8).

When the Man of Truth was at the house of Simon (Sh'mon) the Leper in Bethany a woman came who poured very expensive perfume on his feet (Matthew 26:6-13).  The Apostles of Truth were very upset about the cost of the perfume but the Man of Truth said that she was doing this to prepare his body for burial (Mark 14:3-9).  Judas was especially upset because if the woman had sold the spikenard and given the money to the Man of Truth then he could have quietly stolen part of the three hundred pieces of silver as he had been doing all along (John 12:1-8).

Shortly after that the Man of Truth had two of his disciples borrow a donkey (Matthew 21:1-11).  Then he sat upon the donkey and rode into Jerusalem (Mark 11:1-10).  When he did the crowds of people there for Passover laid their garments in his path to ride over and praise the Father of Truth for the works that the Man of Truth had done (Luke 19:29-38).  They met him with palm branches and declared that he was the Messiah of Israel because of the works he had done including raising the dead back to life (John 12:12-18).

When the Man of Truth got near to Jerusalem he wept over the terrible judgment that would soon come upon it for rejecting him as the Messiah of Israel (Luke 19:41-44).

Then the Man of Truth came into the Temple he drove out the money changers for a second time (Matthew 21:12-17).  He drove the thieves out of the house of his Father (Luke 19:45-46).

Then he went back to Bethany to spend the night (Mark 11:11).

The next day the Man of Truth left Bethany to go to Jerusalem and saw a fig tree with leaves but no fruit when he was hungry (Matthew 21:18-19).  So he cursed the fig tree in the hearing of his disciples (Mark 11:12-14).

Then the Man of Truth came into the Temple and drove out the money changers for a third time (Mark 11:15-17).  This caused the religious leader to desire to kill him even more but they were afraid of the common people rising up against them (Mark 11:18).

Then he went back to Bethany to spend the night (Mark 11:19).

When the Man of Truth came by the fig tree again it had withered away to the astonishment of his disciples (Matthew 21:20-22).  This happened on the way back into Jerusalem from Bethany the next day (Mark 11:20-21).

Then the Man of Truth went again in the Temple where he spoke parables against the religious leaders but they were afraid to act against him because the people knew he was a Prophet of Truth (Matthew 21:45-46).  He also outfoxed their efforts to trap him with their questions in the Temple (Mark 11:27-33).  He did these things daily along with teaching the common people in the Temple but the fear of the common people continued to keep the religious leaders from acting against him (Luke 19:47-48).

On one of those days the Man of Truth left the Temple and his disciples were in awe of how beautiful the Temple was (Matthew 24:1-3).  He told them that the days were coming when not even one stone if it would be left standing (Mark 13:1-4).  They asked him urgently when this was going to be and what were the signs of the end times (Luke 21:5-7).

The Man of Truth told them that the Children of Truth would go through times of terrible persecution until he returned to rule this Earth (Matthew 24:4-31).  He told them that a time of terrible tribulation would come upon the Earth right before he returned to rule the Earth and gather the remnant of Israel from the four corners of the Earth (Mark 13:5-27).  He told them that Jerusalem would be destroyed and occupied by the Gentiles until it was time for the events that would bring about his return (Luke 21:8-28).

Two days before Passover the religious leaders took counsel together to kill the Man of Truth in a clandestine manner before Passover so the common people would not rise up against them (Matthew 26:1-4).  So Judas went to the religious leaders to ask for thirty pieces of silver to betray the Man of Truth - which was probably the amount he could have pilfered from selling the spikenard that had been poured on the Man of Truth (Matthew 26:14-16).  The religious leaders were glad to give him the money if he would betray the Man of Truth at a convenient time (Mark 14:10-11).  Judas had invited the Father of Lies into his life and now he was ready to deliver the Man of Truth to his enemies on the sly before Passover as they desired (Luke 22:1-6).

Now on the first day of unleavened bread the Man of Truth ate the Passover meal with his disciples that evening where he announced that one of them was going to betray him (Matthew 26:17-29).  He announced this in a large upper room on the evening of the day when the passover lamb was killed (Mark 14:12-25).  He told them that the bread they ate and the wine they drank was a memorial to his body that would soon be broken and the blood that he would soon shed to bring about the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) even though one of them would betray him (Luke 22:7-22).  So they argued with each other about which one of them would do such a thing (Luke 22:23).

Then they argued about which of them was was the greatest (Luke 22:24-27). So after eating, the Man of Truth washed their feet to show how they were to love one another even though he knew that the Father of Lies had put it into the heart of Judas to betray him (John 13:2-17).  The Man of Truth then announced again that one of them would betray him and when asked who it was he told Judas to do what he needed to do quickly but none of the other disciples understood what it was that Judas had left to do (John 13:18-30).

Before leaving the upper room, the Man of Truth told the remaining disciples that they would be rewarded for sticking with him though his trials even though they would all deny him (Luke 22:28-39).   Peter the Jew objected that he would never deny him but the Man of Truth said that Peter the Jew would deny him three times by the time that the rooster crowed to announce that it was morning (John 13:31-38).

After preparing them for his departure the Man of Truth said that it was time for them to leave the upper room to put the rest of the plan into action (John 14:28-31).

So after singing a hymn they headed out for the Mount of Olives and the Man of Truth told them again that they would all deny him (Matthew 26:30-35).  This time all of the disciples objected and said that they would die before denying him even though the Man of Truth said for a second time that Peter the Jew would deny three times before the rooster could crow a second time (Mark 14:26-31).

When they got to the Garden of Gethsemane (wine press) the Man of Truth took Peter the Jew, John the Jew and his brother James with him to look out for his enemies while he prayed but they kept falling asleep (Matthew 26:36-44).  He asked the father three times to take away the cup of suffering if possible but if not then he would drink it until he knew that that it was time for him to drink it (Mark 14:32-42).  He so dreaded drinking the cup of suffering that he sweated blood but he was still determined to do it if it was the will of his father (Luke 22:40-46).  This all happened in a garden near the bottom of the Mount of Olives on the side opposite of the Cedron brook from Jerusalem (John 18:1).

Then Judas showed up with a bunch of soldiers and the disciples tried to defend the Man of Truth but he told them to stop because he would drink the cup of suffering that his Father had given him to drink (Matthew 26:47-56).  When the religious leaders sent men to take him at night from the garden, after doing nothing when he had taught the Temple in Jerusalem during the day, all of his disciples forsook the Man of Truth and ran away (Mark 14:43-50).  Judas had betrayed him with a kiss that night because it was the time for the kingdom of darkness to have its way with the Man of Truth when the religious leaders arrived (Luke 22:47-53).  They took the Man of Truth away after Judas betrayed him even though he had knocked the soldiers down just by speaking, defended his disciples to keep them from harm and had put the ear back on the servant of the high priest that Peter the Jew had cut off (John 18:2-11).

They brought the Man of Truth to Annas, the father in law of Caiaphas the high priest, first (John 18:12-14).  However, Annas sent the Man of Truth to Caiaphas to be tried (John 18:24).

They brought the Man of Truth to Caiaphas and the other religious leaders to have a trial where he admitted to being the Messiah of Israel (Matthew 26:57-68).  When this happened they condemn him to death for committing blasphemy, then spit on him and mocked him (Mark 14:53-64).

While this trial was going on Peter the Jew was sitting outside of the palace warming himself by the fire (Matthew 26:69-75).  Peter the Jew denied that he knew the Man of Truth when one of the servant girls of the high priest asked him as a rooster crowed in the distance (Mark 14:65-72).  Then Peter the Jew denied the Man of Truth a second time before another servant girl (Luke 22:54-71).  Then Peter the Jew denied for a third time that he knew the Man of Truth to a man, who was related to the servant whose ear he had cut off, just before the rooster crowed again loudly to signify that morning had arrived (John 18:15-27).

So after the religious leaders had tried the Man of Truth they decided to take him to Pilate to get the Romans to carry out the execution so the common people would not rise up against them for shedding innocent blood (Matthew 27:1-10).  They decided this after the rooster had crowed to signify that morning had came (Mark 15:1).

So they brought him before Pilate and accused him of planning a revolt against the Romans but Pilate knew that the Man of Truth was innocent because the Father of Truth had warned his wife in a dream that he should have nothing to do with his death (Matthew 27:11-22).  The Man of Truth admitted to being the Messiah of Israel but said nothing else (Mark 15:2-13).  When Pilate declared the Man of Truth to be innocent then the religious leaders accused him of stirring up trouble in Galilee (Luke 23:1-5).  So Pilate sent him to be tried by Herod but Herod also found him to be innocent and returned the Man of Truth to Pilate after mocking him (Luke 23:6-21).  So Pilate tried to release the Man of Truth, according to custom of the Romans at Passover, but the religious leaders stirred up the common people to demand that Barabbas the Terrorist be released and that the Man of Truth be crucified so he could die in manner that he had prophesied (John 18:28-40).

In order to avoid a riot, Pilate washed his hands to show that he would not be responsible for the death of the Man of Truth and then had him flogged so he could be crucified when the people of Israel said that they would take responsibility for his death (Matthew 27:23-30).  However, Pilate still tried one last thing to change their minds by having the Man of Truth put in a purple robe with a crown of thorns on his head and then mocked for calling himself the King of the Jews (Mark 15:14-19).  Then Pilate had the Man of Truth brought before the crowd to show them their king but they said that they would have no one rule over them except Caesar (John 19:1-15).

So the Roman soldiers took the robe off of the Man of Truth (Matthew 27:31).  Then they put his own clothes back on him (Mark 15:20).  Pilate had declared the innocence of the Man of Truth three times and had tried everything that he could think of to release him but he ended up releasing Barabbas the Terrorist instead (Luke 23:22-25).  So Pilate delivered the Man of Truth to the Roman soldiers to be crucified (John 19:16).

So they crucified him between two thieves with a sign over his head saying that his only crime was being the King of the Jews (Matthew 27:32-44).  As he was dying on the cross he was mocked by the common people of Israel, the religious leaders and even the two thieves (Mark 15:21-32).  However, one of the thieves later recognized that the Man of Truth was really was the Messiah of Israel and not guilty of anything so he repented and asked the Man of Truth for forgiveness for his sins which he received (Luke 23:26-43).  During this time the religious leaders went back to Pilate to demand that he change the accusation but he refused and the Roman soldiers gambled for the clothes of the Man of Truth before he arranged for his mother to be taken care of (John 19:17-27).

Then the sky went dark for three hours until the Man of Truth died and then there was a tremendous earthquake while the Temple veil was torn in two from the top to the bottom (Matthew 27:45-56).  This caused the centurion who oversaw the crucifixion to declare that the Man of Truth was truly the Messiah of Israel (Mark 15:33-41).  After the common people of Israel saw what happened when the Man of Truth died they beat their chests in sorrow for what they had done while his disciples looked on from a distance (Luke 23:44-49).  When the Roman soldiers came to break the legs of those who were crucified so they would die instead of remaining on the cross during Passover they pierced the side of the Man of Truth instead because he was already dead (John 19:28-37).

After that Joseph of Arimathaea, a rich man, asked Pilate for the body of the Man of Truth so he could give him a proper burial (Matthew 27:57-61).  When Pilate knew for certain that the Man of Truth was dead then he ordered that the body be given to Joseph of Arimathaea (Mark 15:42-47).  Joseph of Arimathaea had voted against condemning the Man of Truth during his trial before the religious leaders and placed his body in his own new tomb quickly so the women could prepare his body for a proper burial after the high Sabbath of Passover was over (Luke 23:50-56).  Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus, another Jewish religious leader who followed the Man of Truth, quickly wrapped the body of the Man of Truth in ointment and linen cloth to finish burying the Man of Truth in his nearby tomb before the Passover began (John 19:38-42).

The next day, after the religious leaders had eaten their Passover meal, they demanded that Pilate have Roman soldiers guard the tomb of the Man of Truth for the next three days to make sure that no one took his body out to trick people into believing that he rose from the dead so Pilate granted their request and they made sure that the body was still in the tomb (Matthew 27:62-66).

Before sunrise on the day after the regularly weekly Sabbath, while Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James were coming to finish properly preparing the body of the Man of Truth for burial there was another earthquake, then an Angel of Truth came down from Heaven, rolled away the stone and the Roman soldiers all fell over unconscious as if they had died (Matthew 28:1-4).  These two women and Salome had been wondered who would roll away the stone for them on their way (Mark 16:1-3).  When it was still dark Mary Magdalene found the stone rolled away and then ran to get Peter the Jew and John the Jew to help her find who had taken the body of the Man of Truth away (John 20:1-2).

When the other women arrived at sunrise they found the Angel of Truth sitting on the stone who told them that the Man of Truth had risen (Matthew 28:5-7). He then told them to tell the eleven remaining Apostles of Truth to meet the Man of Truth in Galilee (Mark 16:4-7).

Then some more women came while it was still very early and also found the tomb empty who were then told by two Angels of Truth that the Man of Truth was risen from the dead on the third day as he had said (Luke 24:1-7).

When Peter the Jew and John the Jew came back with Mary Magdalene they also found the tomb empty but then they went back to their home (John 20:3-10).  When Mary Magdalene looked into the tomb the two Angels of Truth that were standing in the tomb asked her why she was weeping (John 20:11-13).

Mary Magdalene was the first person that the Man of Truth had showed himself after he rose from the dead (Mark 16:9).  She had thought that he was the gardener and wanted to know where the body of the Man of Truth had been taken until the Man of Truth said her name and then told her to tell the remaining eleven Apostles of Truth that he was going back to Heaven for now (John 20:14-17).

As the other women were running to the tell the eleven remaining Apostles of Truth the message, the Man of Truth suddenly appeared to them himself to show them that he had indeed risen from the dead and also told them to tell his remaining eleven Apostles of Truth to meet him in Galilee (Matthew 28:8-10).

While the women were on their way to tell the eleven remaining Apostles of Truth their messages, some of the Roman soldiers woke up and went into Jerusalem to tell the religious leaders what had happened who then paid them to spread a lie about his disciple stealing his body while they slept (Matthew 28:11-15).

Mary Magdalene went and told those who were gathered to mourn the death of the Man of Truth that he had risen from the dead but they did not believe her (Mark 16:10-11).  The other women also told the eleven remaining Apostles of Truth, and the other disciples who were with them, that they had also seen the Man of Truth after he rose from the dead but they did not believe them either (Luke 24:8-11).  Mary Magdalene also told the message that the Man of Truth had told her to give to them (John 20:18).

So Peter the Jew arose and ran again to see the empty tomb with the grave clothes still there but could not understand what had happened (Luke 24:12).

After that two of his disciples were walking through the country when the Man of Truth appeared to them in another form (Mark 16:12).  He explained to them as they walked, how all the thing that had happened to the Man of Truth fulfilled what written about the Messiah of Israel in the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament) and then caused them to see that he was the Messiah of Israel who rose from the dead (Luke 24:13-24).

So they went and told the other disciples that the Man of Truth had risen but no one believed them (Mark 16:13).  When they arrived in Jerusalem to tell the eleven remaining Apostles of Truth, along with some other disciples, about how the Man of Truth had appeared to them they learned that the Man of Truth had also appeared to Peter the Jew (Luke 24:33-35).

Then the Man of Truth came into the room where the Apostles of Truth were meeting to rebuke them for their unwillingness to believe the witnesses that he had sent to tell them that he had risen from the dead (Mark 16:14).  The Man of Truth sat down and ate with them while he explained how everything that they had seen happen to him was written in the Original Covenant about the Messiah of Israel (Luke 24:36-48).  The Apostles of Truth had locked all the doors but the Man of Truth just appeared to them anyways to show them his wounds and then breathe on them so the Spirit of Truth live inside of them (John 20:19-23).   However, Thomas the Jew (Ta'om aka Didymus aka The Apostle Thomas) had left the room before the Man of Truth showed up and would not believe them (John 20:24-25).

Eight days later, the Man of Truth again just appeared to them when they were behind locked doors and showed Thomas the Jew his wounds (John 20:26-29).

So the Apostles of Truth finally went to the mountain in Galilee to meet the Man of Truth where he gave them instructions to baptize people from all nations and teach them to obey his commandments (Matthew 28:16-20).  After that the Man of Truth showed up while they fishing on the Sea of Galilee (Sea of Tiberias) to tell Peter the Jew to show his love for him by taking care of his people regardless of the cost (John 21:1-23).

After they came back to Jerusalem the Man of Truth told them to preach the Good News to everyone and that supernaturals signs would follow to confirm the message (Mark 16:15-18).  He then told them to stay in Jerusalem and wait to be endued with power from the Spirit of Truth before carrying out their instructions (Luke 24:49).

Now that the Man of Truth was done instructing them about what to do until he returned to rule the Earth he was ready to return to Heaven (Mark 16:19).  So the Man of Truth went with his disciples out to the Mount of Olives near Bethany, blessed them and was carried back to Heaven (Luke 24:50-51).

So they went to Jerusalem to wait for the promised power from the Spirit of Truth and continually praised the Father of Truth in the Temple (Luke 24:52-53).

After they received the power from the Spirit of Truth they began carrying out the instructions of the Man of Truth to go into all of the world with the Good News as the Spirit of Truth gave supernatural signs to confirm their message (Mark 16:20).

So the Gospels tell the same story in complementary pieces like a Southern Gospel Quartet singing a long song in perfect four part harmony.  Just like none of the singers sing the entire song by themselves so also none of the Gospels tell the entire story by themselves.  Yet through all of the solos, duets, trio and quartets that are occur throughout the song the song works because each singer comes in at just the right time with just the right words.  It has been shown that the four Gospels do the exact same thing by telling the story of what the Man of Truth did on this Earth in perfect four part harmony.  It is a truly beautiful performance.

Of course, the best sung song in the world only has value to those who hear it and all the words of the song to penetrate their heart.  This song was not sung to entertain for an evening and then to be forgotten but to cause people to come into the House of Truth to live forever (John 20:30-31).  This song was meant to bring people to a place of total surrender of their lives to the Man of Truth because they believe its message that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  These four Apostles of Truth sang this song in perfect four part harmony to bring you into the House of Truth (Ephesians 2:19-21).

Come into the House of Truth!
