Escaping The Christmas Trap

How can the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) escape the Christmas Trap?

Every year, it is the same old thing.  The majority of the Children of Truth find themselves caught in the Christmas Trap.  Often, they enter the Christmas Trap as a large group, so that many of the individuals in the group, do not even realize that the entire group is in a trap. 

It is like how the individual fish do not recognize, that the entire school of fish has been entrapped in a net, until the fisherman pull the net out of the water.  Even then, most of the fish trapped in the net, know that things are not right, and it is draining the life out of them, but they still cannot see the trap that they are in.  All they can see, is that they are in the same situation, as the fish that surround them.

However, unlike a school of fish entrapped in the net of commercial fishermen at sea, this does not happen to the Children of Truth once in a lifetime, but year after year. 

They keep entering the same trap over and over.  Some of them have come to realize that they keep trapped each year, but they do not understand how they keep getting trapped, nor how to get out.  Others only know that something is draining the life out of them, at the same time every year, but they just cannot seem to see what it is.  In either case, the Children of Truth need to learn how to escape the Christmas Trap.

The first step to escaping the Christmas Trap, is recognizing the Christmas Trap.  Even birds are smart enough to avoid a trap when they can see it being set (Proverbs 1:17).  Birds only get trapped when they can not see the trap (Proverbs 7:23).  Like a school of fish in a net, or a bird in a trap, the Children of Truth are caught in the Christmas Trap, because they do not understand that they are being trapped (Ecclesiastes 9:12).

Like every trap, there is someone who sets the trap, so they can benefit from those caught in the trap.  In the case of the Christmas Trap, it is merchants who set the trap, to benefit from the money of those caught in the trap.  The merchants in America start baiting the trap, with enticing Christmas displays, that start appearing in stores in November.  As Thanksgiving approaches, so also do the commercials for Christmas gifts, to build up the appetites of their victims.  Every year, on the day after Thanksgiving in America, or even before it is over, as the disintegration of Thanksgiving continues, the merchants set off a feeding frenzy with "Black Friday" sales, like fishermen throwing chum in the sea, to entice an entire school of fish, into their trap.

These merchants often do not care a thing about Christmas itself, only about the artificial increase in demand, that leads to higher profits, that Christmas brings.  This is quite evident, in the effort of many merchants to get people to say, "Happy Holidays", instead of "Merry Christmas".  This has made the Christmas mess only messier, and has lead to even more division among the Children of Truth, over how to go about cleaning up the Christmas mess.   This is best illustrated by a story I once heard.

It was the last day of school before Christmas break, and a teacher, decided to start the day off by asking each child, to tell about their favorite Christmas tradition done with their family.  One by one, she asked each child, who eagerly told the class, about their favorite thing that they did with their family, each Christmas.  Suddenly, the teacher felt embarrassed, when she reached Shlomo.  She started to apologize to Shlomo, because his family was Jewish, and did not celebrate Christmas, but Shlomo surprised her, by telling her, that his family also had a Christmas tradition, that he loved.  Surprised, and relieved, she asked Shlomo to tell the class about this tradition.  So Shlomo told his class the following:

"Every year, on the night before Christmas, none of us kids are hardly able to sleep, from the excitement that awaits us in the morning.  When Christmas morning arrives, we get early, get dressed quickly, and all race to the living room, in eager anticipation.  The big day has arrived, and the waiting is over.  So we all hop in the Lexus, and drive down to our toy factory.  Then we go into the warehouse, look at all of the empty shelves, and sing, "What a friend we have in Jesus".  Then we drive to the airport, and head off to the Bahamas to spend a week of fun in the sun, with our grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins!"

You see, many merchants, do not care a thing for Christmas, at all.  They will put up displays, enter floats in parades, and sponsor Christmas celebrations, but it is only for the purpose getting their victims into the Christmas Trap.  They are often like the heads of drug cartels, who wholesale drugs, but do not use drugs themselves.  Like drug dealers, they are willing to give out the first few hits for free, and throw parties, to get their victims hooked for life, because they know that the income from a lifetime addiction, will more than offset their initial investment.  Once people are hooked on the entire Christmas season, that the merchants have sold them on, then the merchants can profit every year, as people come in for their yearly fix.  People are now caught in the Christmas Trap.

You see people could buy, and give gifts to each other, throughout the year, for events like birthdays and anniversaries.  However, getting almost everyone to buy gifts for everyone else, to give out on the exact same day, creates artificial demand, that leads to higher profits.  It is like OPEC (Oil Producing and Exporting Countries) artificially restricting the oil supply to drive up oil prices, in reverse.  This is good for the merchants, but bad for most other people.

Of course, merchants are not the only ones who benefit, from all of these people being caught in the Christmas Trap.  Just like boat builders and the like, also benefit from fishermen trapping fish in their nets, so also an host of indirect providers, also benefit from merchants trapping people in the Christmas Trap.  Banks benefit, from people entering their debt traps, by borrowing money to pay for all of the gifts, that they have been told, that they must buy for every single person, who is important in their life.  Grocers also benefit, from people spending extra money on extra food, that they have been told that they need, in order to enjoy Christmas.  Psychologists and the like, benefit as well, since the stress of the Christmas season, make it their busiest time of the year.  There are a myriad of indirect providers, who benefit from the Christmas Trap.

While the merchants set the Christmas Trap, it only really works, because of the desire of people, to do what everyone else is doing.  It is like an entire school of fish being caught in a single large net, because all of the fish are determined, to do what the other fish are doing, and to go where the other fish are going.  When the chum hits the water, the party starts, and none of the fish want to miss out, even though, what they would really be missing out on, is being trapped.

Like a school of fish, the victims are unwitting, but willing participants, in their own entrapment. They attend and throw Christmas parties, because that is what people do during the Christmas season.  They brag to each other, usually disguised in the form of complaining, about what they are buying others for Christmas, and how much they are spending on Christmas.  They buy advertisements for Christmas, and put them up in their yards, so that everyone will know, that they are participants in Christmas.  They show all of their guest, how generous they are, by proudly displaying the proof of their generosity, under the Christmas tree, that they also bought.  All of these activities, only cause their neighbors, to feel like losers, unless they can also match, or better, each other.  The feeding frenzy is on, as they all try to out-Christmas each other.

This is often reinforced for the Children of Truth, by the religious professionals, who are in charge of the congregations, that they attend.  They too, proudly display a Christmas tree in their meeting place, to let everyone know that their congregation, is like everyone else.  They take up extra collections, to offset the expense of their massive Christmas light displays.  They collect toys, food, and money, to ensure that the poor in their congregation, do not miss out on Christmas, because everyone in their congregation, is expected to participate in Christmas.  They throw Christmas parties (usually without alcohol) so everyone in their congregation, can participate in the festivities.  Worst of all, after eleven months of telling people to not covet things, they have Mr. Coveting himself, Satan Claus, show up in their services, to arouse the desire of their children, to covet after the latest toy, that the merchants have told their parents, that their children must have.  It is doubtful, that is a more unwitting accomplice in leading others into the Christmas Trap, than many of the religious professionals.

So the Children of Truth find themselves, stressed out, from trying to meet all of these demands on their time, and suffocating from debt, like fish hauled out of the water in a net.  Many of them, take almost until the next Christmas season, to pay off that debt.  A lot of them are secretly thankful, that the entire ordeal is over.  Yet, the next year, they will again find themselves, caught in the Christmas Trap.

The next step to escaping the Christmas Trap, is to realize who is really behind the Christmas Trap.

The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) would never teach people to do observe the many traditions of Christmas, that are contrary to the commandments of the Law of Truth (Matthew 5:17-19).  He never put the heavy burden of celebrating Christmas on people, because he seeks to bring rest to their souls, instead of the stress, that they experience in the Christmas Trap (Matthew 11:28-30).   He would never command people to keep traditions, that are contrary to the commandments of his Father, in the Law of Truth (Matthew 15:3).  Mislead religious professionals are the ones, who lay the heavy burden of Christmas upon people (Matthew 23:4).  It should be obvious, that the Man of Truth is not the one, who set the Christmas Trap!

All of this coveting over gifts at Christmas, designed to fulfill the desires of the flesh, all of this focusing on decorating for Christmas, because it looks so beautiful, and all this emphasis on what was done for Christmas, that people are so proud of, is not from the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) (1 John 2:16)!  It is obvious that the Father of Truth, is not who set the Christmas Trap (1 John 2:16)!

The real architect of the Christmas Trap, is the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil).  Anything that is based on lies, is from the Father of Lies (John 8:44).  Everything about the Christmas Trap, is based on lies!

For example, many of the religious professionals try to keep Christmas about the Man of Truth, yet they know, by even a casual reading about his birth in the Gospels, that December twenty fifth cannot be the right answer to the question, "When was Jesus born?".  Many of them realize, that the Wise Men showed up at the house of Joseph the Jew, instead of the manger (Matthew 2:11).  Many of them realize, that the Wise Men showed up two years after the Man of Truth was born, instead of when he was born (Matthew 2:16).  Not only that, but many of them also know, that there is nothing the Book of Truth (The Bible), about observing his birthday.  Many of them know, that there is no commandment for people to observe the customs of Christmas.  Many of them know, that there is no more validity to observing Christmas, than there is to observing Ash Wednesday.   Many of them know, that Christmas was introduced by the False Church of Rome, and that it was never part of the original form of Celtic Christianity, or anything else that was taught by the Apostles of Truth!  So, even their efforts to keep "Christ" in "Christmas", is based upon lies.  In fact, practically everything about Christmas, is part of the Doctrine of Lies.

So it is important to recognize, that while many merchants are setting the Christmas Trap, and many religious professionals have been blindly leading their congregations into the Christmas Trap, that the Christmas Trap is really the creation of the Father of Lies, and that is who the Children of Truth are fighting against, to escape the Christmas Trap (Ephesians 6:12).

The next step to escaping the Christmas Trap, is to be aware of the motive and means of the Father of Lies, so he cannot entice them into the Christmas Trap (2 Corinthians 2:11).  They need to on the look out, to avoid being caught in the Christmas Trap, because the Father of Lies has created it, to devour their lives (1 Peter 5:8).

The Father of Lies does not want the Children of Truth, to carry out the Great Commission, and teach all people to follow the Man of Truth (Matthew 28:18-20).  He does not want them, to go to all nations, and preach the Good News, with supernatural signs to confirm the message (Mark 16:15-18).  He does not want them, to tell people about what the Man of Truth did on this Earth, so they could come into the House of Truth, and he especially does not want them, to be baptized in the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) (Luke 24:46-49).  He does not want them, to be taking care of the business of the Man of Truth on this Earth, regardless of the cost (John 21:17-22).  He simply does not want them, to be carrying out their part of the Great Commission!

So, the Father of Lies created the Christmas Trap, to get the Children of Truth, caught up in the very things, that the Man of Truth told them to avoid getting caught up in, that would keep them from being worthy to escape the Tribulation, and be caught up in the Rapture (Luke 21:34-36).  He does not want them to heed the warning of "People get ready!", by doing their part to carryout the Great Commission!

The Father of Lies sets up the Christmas Trap, for the same reason, that he sets up any other trap.  Everything he does, is done to steal from people, what the Man of Truth came to give them (John 10:10).  He does not want the Children of Truth, to get their gifts from the tree, so that they are equipped to do their part, in carrying out the Great Commission.

The Father of Lies gets the Children of Truth, caught in the Christmas Trap, by the same means that he gets people caught, in any other trap that he sets.  He uses their fear of not meeting the expectations of other people, to ensnare them in the Christmas Trap (Proverbs 29:25).  He uses the cares of this world, the endless demands that Christmas places on their time and money, along with the extra time they spend working to get more money, in a vain attempt to buy happiness, to ensnare them in the Christmas Trap (Matthew 13:22).

Now that the Christmas Trap has been exposed, that the Father of Lies is behind the Christmas Trap, has been exposed, the motives of the Father of Lies for setting the Christmas Trap has been exposed, and the means of the Father of Lies to bait the Christmas Trap have been exposed, it is now time to reveal, what the Children of Truth need to do, to escape being caught in the Christmas Trap, year after year.

The Children of Truth escape the Christmas Trap, by repenting for being involved with Christmas, once they are no longer ignorant, of the truth about Christmas (Acts 17:30).  They need to renounce every dishonest thing about Christmas, that was formerly hidden from them, by the Father of Lies, who sets the Christmas Trap (2 Corinthians 4:2-4).  Now, that they are no longer in darkness, they should be seeking to expose the truth, about everything comes from the Father of Lies, like Christmas, so that they will only do, what the Father of Truth has approved (Ephesians 5:8-11).  The Children of Truth all need to be, like the Mensch who killed Christmas, if they are going to escape the Christmas Trap!

The Children of Truth escape the Christmas Trap, because they cannot love anything, that they know is from the Father of Lies, like Christmas, if they love the Father of Truth (1 John 2:15-17).  The Father of Truth commands them to walk in truth, instead of celebrating something that is based on lies, like Christmas (2 John 1:4).  The Children of Truth need to be walking in truth, if they are going to escape the Christmas Trap!

The Children of Truth escape the Christmas Trap, when they start storing up their treasure in Heaven, because then the business of Heaven will be their focus (Matthew 6:19-21).  When they do this, then they stop focusing on getting stuff, and put their focus on carrying out the Great Commission, instead (Matthew 6:31-33).  Instead of seeking to get more stuff, they give what they can, to take care of those who are truly poor, because they understand, that this is how, they can store up their treasure in Heaven (Luke 12:33-34).  They realize that it is useless, to get everything their hearts desires, if it is only going to cause them, to leave the House of Truth, and perish (Mark 8:35-37).  The Man of Truth will give them the strength, to be content, regardless of how little, or how much, stuff they have (Philippians 4:11-13).  They put to the death, the pursuit of gaining material things, that they used to idolize, so that they will no longer be lured, into the Christmas Trap (Colossians 3:5-7).  They are content with having food, clothing, and shelter, because the Father of Truth is center of their lives, so they cannot be lured, into the Christmas Trap (1 Timothy 6:6-8).  They flee the endless pursuit, of getting more stuff at Christmas, because that pursuit, will only bring them trouble, and move them out of the House of Truth (1 Timothy 6:9-11).  The Children of Truth need to end, the endless pursuit of getting bigger, better, newer stuff, if they are going to escape the Christmas Trap!

The Children of Truth escape the Christmas Trap, when they realize that going into debt, to feed the Christmas greed of everyone else, makes them a slave to the banks (Proverbs 22:7).  The Father of Truth does not want them to owe anyone, anything, except love, so they can fulfill the Law of Truth (Romans 13:8-10).  He does not want them, to be slaves to banks, in order to feed the greed of others, at Christmas, but rather to be free, to devote their resources to the Man of Truth, who bought them with his own blood (1 Corinthians 7:21-23).  The Children of Truth need to be in pursuit, of all that really matters, if they are going to escape the Christmas Trap!

There is one more thing, that the Children of Truth can do, to make it easier, to escape the Christmas Trap.  They could celebrate, the same holidays that the Man of Truth celebrated, instead of those, that came from idolatry.  They could get off of the calendar of the False Church of Rome, completely, and get on the calendar of the Father of Truth, instead.  The Children of Truth must not think, it's a Jewish thing to celebrate these holidays, and that it is not for them, when these holidays, are what the Man of Truth celebrated.  It's not just a Jewish thing, to celebrate the holidays, found in the Book of Truth!

The Children of Truth could celebrate Chanukah (Hanukkah) like the Man of Truth did (John 10:22-23).  The Festival of Lights celebrates the victory of the Children of Truth, over an evil society, that tried to force them, into celebrating the holidays of idolatry.  It celebrates dedicating the Temple to the Father of Truth, which reminds the Children of Truth, to dedicate their lives to the Man of Truth.  They just need to be sure, that they do not let Rabbinic Distort, lead them into new traditions, that contradict the Book of Truth, because then they would be escaping the Christmas Trap, only to find themselves in the Chanukah Trap!

However, like the Maccabees of old, the Children of Truth need to be prepared, to face hardship, for escaping the Christmas Trap.

The Children of Truth may lose their relationship with their families, when they start escaping the Christmas Trap (Matthew 10:34-37).  It will be a sacrifice for them, to live differently than everyone else, as they allow the Word of Truth, to lead them into thinking about things in the right way (Romans 12:1-2).

It is religious professionals, who have taught people to celebrate Christmas, even though they often know that it is contrary to what is written in the Book of Truth, but have lead people into believing, that getting what they want for Christmas, shows that they are blessed by the Father of Truth (1 Timothy 6:3-5).  The main persecutors of the Children of Truth, for leaving the Christmas Trap, in order to live a life that is in line with the truth found in the Book of Truth, will be religious professionals, who have been deceived, by the Father of Lies (2 Timothy 3:12-15).

The Children of Truth are not to grieve the Spirit of Truth, by giving anything from the Father of Lies, like Christmas, any place in their lives (Ephesians 4:27-30).  They must put on everything, that the Father of Truth has given them, to fight the Father of Lies, if they are not going to be caught in the Christmas Trap (Ephesians 6:11).  They must protect themselves with the truth, shield themselves with the Word of Truth, and pray in the Spirit of Truth, if they are going to escape the Christmas Trap (Ephesians 6:13-18).  They must not let themselves, be pulled into the Christmas Trap, by focusing on material things, or be pushed into the Christmas Trap, by doing what pleases other people, but they must instead, escape the Christmas Trap, to show that they have confidence, in what the Word of Truth says (Hebrews 13:5-7).

The Children of Truth need to persist, in escaping the Christmas Trap, because they will rewarded for any persecution that they face for doing so (Matthew 16:25-27).  They will be blessed by the Father of Truth in the end, if they are persecuted like the Prophets of Truth, for doing what He says is right (Matthew 5:10-12).  They will reign with the Man of Truth if they suffer, like he did, for telling people the truth about everything, like he did, including Christmas (2 Timothy 2:12).

Of course, there is no eternal reward for escaping the Christmas Trap, unless you first come into the House of Truth.  The Spirit of Truth will help you with each step, that you need to take to escape the Christmas Trap, after you come into the House of Truth (John 16:12-14).  You come into the House of Truth, when you surrender control of your life to the Man of Truth, because you believe that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  After you come into the House of Truth, then the Spirit of Truth will be able to help you to finish escaping the Christmas Trap (1 Corinthians 2:10-12).

Come into the House of Truth!






 

Taken Out Of Context

What is the most misunderstood phrase in the Book of Truth (The Bible)?

Once there was a man who liked to help the police stop crimes.  He would watch people to look for unusual behavior.  He would then investigate to see if there was any indication of criminal activity that was causing this behavior.  Several times he had discovered significant evidence and had called his friend who was a detective at the police department.  His tips had lead to several arrests and sometimes even prevented a serious crime from being committed.

This man had a neighbor whom he did not really know.  He knew the name of his neighbor and some things like that but he never really spent any time with his neighbor.  They never did anything together so that the man might know the character of his neighbor.  The man did his thing and his neighbor did likewise.  It was safe to say that he had a very casual and superficial relationship with his neighbor.

After a while the man noticed that his neighbor would leave his house by foot every Tuesday evening and be gone for a few hours.  When his neighbor returned sometimes he was very happy and other times rather glum.  This made the man curious about what was going on.  So one Tuesday he decided to secretly follow his neighbor to try to learn what he kept doing every Tuesday night.

The man followed his neighbor into the industrial part of town.  His neighbor went into the darkened building that looked like a warehouse then used a chain and lock to secure the door behind him.  The man quietly crept up to the door to find see if he could see or hear anything that might give him a hint of what was going on.

The door was slightly cracked a few inches so the man could make that out his neighbor and some other men, some in ordinary clothes and some wearing business suits, were gathered around something like a table.  He heard his neighbor say "The die is cast" and then he heard a faint rattling sound.  Then his neighbor handed something to one of the other men and said "I'm betting on this".  The other man stepped slightly out of sight and then there was a spinning sound.  The other men all began stirring excitedly.  Finally his neighbor exclaimed with great delight, "It looks like I got finally got lucky."  Then one of the men in a business suit said, "Your gamble paid off and you are going to be rich."

The man suddenly believed that he understood what was going on. It all fit together: the mysterious trips every Tuesday, the change in moods after the trips, the comment about the die being cast, the spinning sound like that of a roulette wheel, the neighbor finally getting lucky and becoming rich because his gamble had paid off.  He had obviously stumbled upon an underground casino!  His neighbor had been gambling every Tuesday which was totally illegal in the state they lived in.  The men in the business suits were probably gangsters.  The other men were probably fellow gamblers.  The man slipped away as quietly as he could and called his friend at the police station.  His friend listened to his story and then said that the police would move immediately to catch them in the act before any of them could escape.

About an hour later, his friend called him back and asked him to meet him at a local diner.  When the man arrived his friend said that he had to show him something.  They got in the car and his friend drove him to the warehouse.  His friend told him that the police had acted immediately on his tip and had caught the entire group in their secret business.  He wanted to show his friend exactly what that secret business was.

When they arrived and went into the warehouse the man could hardly believe his eyes.  There on the table that everyone had been gathered around was a mold for making an object out of metal.  His friend explained what had really happened.

His neighbor had been working on a secret invention with some of his friends.  They would each work on a piece of the invention during the week and then meet every Tuesday night to collaborate together.  Sometimes things went well and sometimes they did not go well so the mood of his neighbor was effected accordingly.  When his neighbor said that the die had been cast he was referring to the metal die that had been recently cast into the last missing piece of his invention.  One of his friends got excited and accidentally dropped a hex nut on the table which made the rattling sound. His neighbor was betting that the new piece would solve the last remaining issue with the invention.  When they tried out his invention with the new piece attached it finally worked and produced the spinning sound that he had heard.  This caused his neighbor to make the comment about finally getting lucky.  The men in business suits were investors to help with the mass production of his invention and one of them said that his neighbor was going to rich due the risk he had taken to create his invention.

You see there were reasons for the man coming to the wrong conclusion.  He did not really know his neighbor. He had preconceived notions about the motives of his neighbor. He did not have all of the facts because he was outside of the warehouse looking in.  So it was inevitable that he came to the wrong conclusion.

Even though what he had heard and seen could have meant that there was an illegal gambling operation going on it proved to not be the case.  The statements he heard when taken out of context had lead him to believe something about his neighbor that were completely false.  The text of the words taken out of context lead to a pretext that was complete nonsense.

The real problem is that this man is hardly unique.  Every day millions of Americans and others do the exact same thing.

They have heard that the Man of Truth (Yah'shua aka Yeshua aka Jesus aka Mashiach aka Messiah aka Christ) said "Judge not, that you be not judged" without considering the context in which these words were spoken.  They have concluded that no one is to ever judge anything that anyone else is doing as ever being wrong nor are they to judge that anyone is ever good or bad based on their actions.

They will use this to say that the Man of Truth was teaching that no none should ever say that anyone else is doing something wrong when they do things like men having sex with women that they are not married to, men having sex with other men, getting drunk, taking hallucinogenic drugs and the like.  They use this to say that the Man of Truth was teaching that no one that does these things are not in anyway evil.

Is this what the Man of Truth really meant?  If so, then he was also teaching that no none should ever say that anyone else is doing something wrong when they do things like murdering people, gang raping women, kidnapping children, spraying a mist containing anthrax in a crowded subway car, torturing innocent babies and the like.  The Man of Truth would also be saying that people like Hitler, Stalin, Jeffery Dahmer, and Osama bin Laden were not in anyway evil.  After all, if that is what he meant then who are we to judge?

"Judge not, that you be not judged" is the most misunderstood phrase in the entire Book of Truth.  It has been used to justify anything that people can imagine to do as right and to say that nothing that people can do is ever evil.  In fact, taken out of context, "Judge not, that you be not judged" could mean that there is no moral standard of any sort that the Father of Truth (Yahoveh aka Yahweh aka God aka THE LORD) will hold anyone to.  There would be no basis for Him to judge anyone.  In fact, taken out of context, "Judge not, that you be not judged" could be  mean that the Ten Commandments and everything else in the Law of Truth (The Torah aka The Law) was not valid.  Is this really what the Man of Truth was teaching when he said "Judge not, that you be not judged"?

The only way to understand what the Man of Truth was teaching when he said  "Judge not lest you be judged" is to examine it in the context of when it was spoken.  We are now going to look at the passages where he said "Judge not that you be not judged" to see what it means in context.  We will be able to understand what he was teaching when "Judge not lest you be judged" is no longer taken out of context.

So what is the context of "Judge not, that you be not judged"?

The best place to start is by looking at where the phrase occurs in the Book of Truth and see what was the circumstances when the Man of Truth spoke this phrase.  This exact phrase occurs in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 7:1).  It was part of a long teaching on how the Children of Truth (those that obey the Father of Truth because they love Him) are to live that starts when he calls those who want to learn how to follow him to come up on the mount to learn (Matthew 5:1-2).  That teaching continued until he left the mount (Matthew 8:1).  This long teaching is commonly called "The Sermon on the Mount".

So we will now examine the Sermon on the Mount to see whether or not it supports the idea that no one is to ever judge anything that anyone else is doing as ever being wrong nor are they to judge that anyone is ever good or bad based on their actions.

The Man of Truth started the Sermon on the Mount by saying that it is those that humble themselves before His Father that will be part of His Kingdom (Matthew 5:2-5).  He said that those that desire to do what is right and show mercy to others will be brought in by the mercy of His Father (Matthew 5:6-7).  He said that only the pure heart that seek to be at peace with others are who will see His Father and be called His Children (Matthew 5:8-9).  He said that those who are persecuted for doing what is right are who the Kingdom of His Father belongs to (Matthew 5:10).  He said that they are blessed because they are rejected by others for the same reasons as the Prophets of Truth (Matthew 5:11-12).  He said that like the Prophets of Truth they are to let the world know what is right and wrong (Matthew 5:13-16).  He said that he came to show people how to do what the Law of Truth defines as right and wrong (Matthew 5:17-19).

The Man of Truth said to that putting on a religious show is not enough to enter the Kingdom of His Father (Matthew 5:20).  He then explained how to fulfill many of the commandments of the Law of Truth as His Father intended (Matthew 5:21-37).

The Man of Truth explained how to fulfill the commandment to not seek revenge on those who wrong us (Matthew 5:38-39).  He explained that instead of taking revenge we are to give them what they need need including them love loans as commanded in the Law of Truth (Matthew 5:40-42).  He explained that loving people as commanded in the Law of Truth is more than just loving those that love us (Matthew 5:43-49).   He explained how to fulfill the commandments to give to the poor (Matthew 6:1-4).  He explained how to pray in a way that shows that we do not despise those commandments but rather have faith in His Father who gave them (Matthew 6:5-13).  He explained the absolute necessity of forgiving others for harming us when they transgressed those commandments if we want the Father of Truth to forgive us for transgressing those same commandments (Matthew 6:14-15).  He explained how to fast as His Father desires (Matthew 6:16-18).  He then explained that if we take care of the needs of others as commanded in the Law of Truth then His Father will take care of our needs (Matthew 6:19-34).

It was in the context of this giving to take care of others that the Man of Truth said that we are not judge rather or not they deserve our help when they ask because we do not want the Father of Truth to judge whether or not we deserve His help when we ask (Matthew 7:1-2).  He said we cannot help people with the lessor matters of the Law of Truth until we have taken care of these weightier matters (Matthew 7:3-5).  He said to be careful to not give help to people that enables them to do what is contrary to the Law of Truth (Matthew 7:6).  The Man of Truth said that His Father will give those who do obey these commandments in the way that he instructed whatever they ask Him for (Matthew 7:7-11).  He said that taking care of others as we would want them to take care of us fulfills the Law of Truth as the Prophets of Truth warned Israel to do (Matthew 7:12).

The Man of Truth went on to warn that the way of life that comes from obeying these commandments was a narrow path that few will find (Matthew 7:13-14).  He warned of the Prophets of Lies who are religious professionals that seek to destroy people by getting them off of that path (Matthew 7:15).  He said that we can tell the Prophets of Lies from the Prophets of Truth by whether or not they are doing what is commanded in the Law of Truth (Matthew 7:16-20).

The Man of Truth even said that even people who may have at one time been used by the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) in a spectacular way still do not know His Father and will not enter His Kingdom if they did not do the will of His Father by keeping these commandments (Matthew 7:21-23).  He finished the Sermon on the Mount by saying that it was absolutely foolish to hear his teaching on how to keep these commandments of the Law of Truth and not put that teaching into practice (Matthew 7:24-28).

There is also another place in the Book of Truth with very similar phrasing, "Judge not and ye shall not be judged".  This exact phrase occurs in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 6:37).  It was part of a much shorter teaching than the Sermon on the Mount about on how the Children of Truth are to live that starts when people seek out the Man of Truth to healed by him after he arrived on the plain (Luke 6:17-19).  That teaching continued until he went to Capernaum (Kfar Nahum) (Luke 7:1).  This long teaching is commonly called "The Sermon on the Plain".

The Man of Truth taught many of the same things in this sermon that he taught in the Sermon on the Mount.  The Man of Truth started the Sermon on the Plain by saying it is those that suffer in this world who are blessed (Luke 6:20-21).  He said that they are blessed because they suffer for the same reasons as the Prophets of Truth (Luke 6:22-23).  He said it is those that are doing well in this world who are cursed (Luke 6:24-25).   He said they are cursed because they are doing well for the same reasons as the Prophets of Lies (Luke 6:26).

The Man of Truth explained how to fulfill the commandment to not seek revenge on those who wrong us (Luke 6:27-28).  He explained that instead of taking revenge we are to give them what they need need including love loans as commanded in the Law of Truth (Luke 6:29-30).  He said He said that taking care of others as we would want them to take care of us fulfills the Law of Truth (Luke 6:31).  He explained that loving people as commanded in the Law of Truth is more than just loving those that love us (Luke 6:32-34).  He explained that showing love to even those who mistreat us by giving love loans when they need them as commanded in the Law of Truth shows that we are merciful like His Father (Luke 6:35-36).

It was in the context of this giving to take care of others that the Man of Truth said that we are not judge rather or not they deserve our help when they ask because we do not want the Father of Truth to judge whether or not we deserve His help when we ask (Luke 6:37).  The Man of Truth said that His Father will cause other people to give to us when we obey these commandments in the way that he instructed as generously as we gave to others (Luke 6:38).

The Man of Truth said that we are blind and unable to show anyone how to live until we learn to obey these commandments (Luke 6:39-40).  He said we cannot help people with the lessor matters of the Law of Truth until we have taken care of these weightier matters (Luke 6:41-42).  He said that we can tell the Children of Lies from the Children of Truth by whether or not they are doing what is commanded in the Law of Truth (Luke 6:43-45).  He finished the Sermon on the Plain by saying that it was absolutely foolish to hear his teaching on how to keep these commandments of the Law of Truth and not put that teaching into practice (Luke 6:46-49).

So we have seen that both "Judge not, that you be not judged" and "Judge not and ye shall not be judged" are both references to giving love loans to those that ask for them when take in the context of the sermons where they appear.  They are both about showing love to other people without judging their worthiness by giving them love loans to meet their needs as explained in The Love Loan.

In fact we have shown the sermons that contain these phrase themselves say that we are to tell others to do what is right and to warn them against doing what is wrong.  These sermons say that the Law of Truth is what the Father of Truth has given us to tell what is right and what is wrong.  These sermons say that those who do what is right in the Law of Truth are righteous and those that do what is wrong in the Law of Truth are evil.  The only way to get the idea that the Man of Truth told us to not judge any action or person as evil is by these phrases being taken out of context.

Why do people take these phrases out of context?  Why do they tell other people something that is simply not true about the Man of Truth?  They are just like the man that thought the wrong thing about his neighbor.

They do not really know the Man of Truth.  They have preconceived notions about his motives.  They do not have all of the facts because they are outside of the House of Truth looking in.  So it is inevitable that they will come to the wrong conclusion.

Even though what they have heard could have meant that no one was to ever judge any action or person as evil it has been proven to not be the case.  The statements they heard when taken out of context have lead them to believe something about the Man of Truth that is completely false.  They have taken the text of his words out of context which lead them to a pretext that is complete nonsense.

These phrases are taken of context to somehow make the Man of Truth teach something completely different in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) than what His Father taught in the Law of Truth.  It is not hard to see that this a lie.

The Man of Truth and His Father are one (John 10:30).  The Renewed Covenant still defines sin as transgressing the Law of Truth (1 John 3:4).

There is no difference between what is right and wrong in the Law of Truth and the Renewed Covenant. For instance, the Law of Truth says homosexuality is evil and those that do these things will suffer death (Leviticus 20:13).  The Renewed Covenant says the exact same thing (1 Corinthians 6:9).

These phrases are taken out of context due to an evil desire to change the definition of right and wrong instead of repenting of sin (Isaiah 5:20).  Those that choose to believe and spread this lie instead of repenting will never enter into the Kingdom of the Man of Truth (Revelation 22:14-16).

The Man of Truth came to call people to repent of doing what His Father called evil - not to call good that which His Father had called evil (Luke 5:32).  He said that the Children of Truth were to also preach repentance so that others could come into the House of Truth (Luke 24:45-47).  Only those that repent of their sins will come into the House of Truth (Acts 3:19). 

What about you?  Perhaps you have taken these phrases out of context out of ignorance and are wondering what to do now.  Now that you are not longer ignorant then you know that the Father of Truth commands you to repent and to come into the House of Truth (Acts 17:30). Instead of rebelling against Him based on these phrases taken out of context you can come into the House of Truth through repentance from these evil actions that lead to death (Hebrews 6:1).  The Father of Truth is calling you to repentance because He does not wish for any to perish but for all to come into the House of Truth (2 Peter 3:9).

Those that come into the House of Truth will lose all interest in doing what the Law of Truth calls evil (Romans 6:2).  Instead of basing your faith on a lie that arose from these phrases being taken out of context you can come into the House of Truth and be freed from your sin (Romans 6:22).  You come into the House of Truth by surrendering to the Man of Truth because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).

Come into the House of Truth.

The Greatest Fairy Tale Ever Told

 What is the greatest fairy tell ever told?

Fairy tales are stories where things magically happen that defy all common sense and every observable fact of reality.  In fairy tales there is often no need for things to have an original source.  The story usually just begins with no explanation of how the things that are in them came into being or of the forces that brought about their beginning.  In fact, it is often implied that there was no underlying cause for the effect of what followed but rather things just "poof" into existence all on their own for no reason at all.  In those fairy tales where there is an active force it is usually some mysterious entity that either defies explanation or otherwise cannot be demonstrated to exist in real life.

People find fairy tales fun and interesting because they do not have to stand up to close scrutiny, they do not have any resemblance to reality, and they can provide people with a metaphor that gives permission to do about anything.  After all a fairy tale can end anyway that the one telling it wants it to end and can be considered proof of the worldview of the teller to anyone that is willing to hear and believe it.  The fairy tale can be modified over and over as needed by people when it is retold to reinforce whatever idea is fashionable at the time.

Of course, the truth is that no fairy tale is ever true.  Every fairy tale that has ever been told, has been the work of the vain imagination of someone, and has no factual basis in reality.  In short, ever fairy tale is really just an elaborate lie.

The Walt Disney company has made a fortune from retelling fairy tales such as Cinderella and Snow White. Many of these same fairy tales have been repackaged for the consumption of the same audience as they grow older by various video entertainment companies.  For example, there are many versions of Cinderella that have been retold in more modern settings to appeal to teenagers.  Then Cinderella was retold in another way to these same people when they were in their twenties as a romantic comedy.  There have been retelling of some fairy tales as scary stories in television shows.  There have even been porn films that retold classic fairy tales in a completely different manner than what is usually told to children.

So what is the greatest fairy tale every told?  What story has been modified the most to suit the times of the audience throughout all of history?  What tale have people went to the greatest lengths to make seem to be so real that other people will believe it no matter how much their own common sense, history, and demonstrable science contradict it?  What is this unimaginably unrealistic story that cannot stand up under close scrutiny but is presented as fact by so many because they simply wish that it was true?  What is the most elaborate lie ever concocted by the human mind?

The greatest fairy tale ever told starts out like many fairy tales without any actual explanation of an original source that made the fairy tale possible to happen in the first place. In fact the greatest fairy tale ever told insists that there was no original source and everything just magically happened.

A version of this fairy tale that might be told to young children would go something like this.

Once upon time there was a land that was completely barren.  In that land there was a magic potion that formed all on its own for no reason at all.  Then for absolutely no reason at all one day this magic potion was magically zapped and then "poof" it became alive. The magic potion was now a mindless living blob known as a magite.  The magite magically had everything that was needed for life in that magic moment and could of course magically make more magites.  Each magite had the very magical ability to give the magites that it made to posses abilities that it did not possess itself.

(Some say that the magites gave these new abilities to the magites that they made in response to changes in their surroundings as the magites moved further and further from the original location of the magic potion.  Others say that the magites gave new abilities willy-nilly to the magites that they made and the ones that had the abilities that worked out best would continue the process.  Those on both sides are sure that they are right and claim to have indisputable proof that those on the other side are complete nincompoops.  It does not really matter since this is a fairy tale and logic need not apply.)

One day a magite made another magite with a definite shape instead of just keep being a shapeless liquid blob like other magites.  This caught on and soon all of the magites were making magites that had more defined shapes and other characteristics that allowed the magites that they made to do more and more fantastic things.  Soon there were magites that grew roots to the center the earth and grew branches that reached above the top of the clouds.   There were magites that had wings and could fly higher than high.  There were magites that had legs and could run faster than fast.  There were magites that fins and could swim deeper than deep.  The magites also began making magites of all sizes.  Some magites were so small that a billion could live on a speck of dust.  Other magites were so large that it seemed that they could cover the entire world.

Eventually some magites made some magites that were not completely mindless.  These magites in turn made more magites that were even smarter than themselves.  This process continued for a long time until magites were made that were so intelligent that they called themselves "the Wise Ones".  It was the Wise Ones then made up this fairy tale about the magic potion to explain the origin of the Wise Ones and all other magites.

A version of this fairy tale aimed at teenagers would go something like this.

Once upon time the Earth that was completely devoid of life.  Then came along a god named "Hixie-Pixie".  No one could reliably predict what Hixie-Pixie would ever do for the actions of  Hixie-Pixie seemed completely random.  One day Hixie-Pixie made a mystical ooze completely on accident.  Then for absolutely no reason at all Hixie-Pixie spread his fingers apart and lightening came forth from his fingers that zapped the mystical ooze and it came to life. There was now a mindless living blob known as a zoa.  The zoa magically had everything that was needed for life in that magic moment and best of all could magically make more zoas. Hixie-Pixie would then sometimes give a new child zoa abilities that the parent zoa did not possess itself when he came upon the scene.

(Some say that Hixie-Pixie gave these new abilities to the zoas in response to changes in their surroundings as the zoas moved further and further from the original location of the mystical ooze.  Others say that Hixie-Pixie gave new abilities willy-nilly to the new zoas and that the ones that had the abilities that worked out best would be used to continue the process.  Those on both sides are sure that they are right and claim to have indisputable proof that those on the other side are complete morons.  It does not really matter since this is a fairy tale and logic need not apply.)

One day Hixie-Pixie gave one of the new zoas a definite shape instead of just being a shapeless liquid blob like other zoas for no particular reason.  Hixie-Pixie thought this was fun so soon all of the new zoas had more defined shapes and other characteristics that allowed the new zoas that they made to do more and more fantastic things.  Soon there were zoas that grew roots to the center the earth and grew branches that reached above the top of the clouds.   There were zoas that had wings and could fly higher than high.  There were zoas that had legs and could run faster than fast.  There were zoas that fins and could swim deeper than deep.  Hixie-Pixie also began resizing the newest zoas.  Some zoas were so small that a billion could live on a speck of dust.  Other zoas were so large that it seemed that they could cover the entire world.

Eventually Hixie-Pixie made some zoas that were not completely mindless on a fluke.  Whenever these zoas in turn made more zoas then Hixie-Pixie would occasionally give some of then newest zoas the ability to be even smarter than the zoas that made them.  This process continued for a long time (since Hixie-Pixie always acted in a completely unpredictable and random manner) until zoas were made that were so intelligent that they called themselves "the Wise Ones".  It was the Wise Ones then made up this fairy tale about Hixie-Pixie and the mystical ooze to explain the origin of the Wise Ones and all other zoas.

The version of this fairy tale told by professors to students in most universities goes something this.

Once upon time the Earth that was completely devoid of life.  Then came along a god named "Random Chance".  The actions of Random Chance were completely random and totally lacking in purpose.  One day the primordial ooze was made by Random Chance.  Then by Random Chance an electrical current of just the right amperage and voltage zapped the primordial ooze and it came to life. There was now a mindless living blob known as an organism.  The primordial organism magically had everything that was needed for life in that magic moment.  This included a minimum of 100,000 right handed nucleotides that each happened to have a matching left handed nucleotide that was needed to zipper up and form the simplest possible RNA and DNA that is sufficient to define an organism that has everything that is needed to live.  (The simplest organism ever found has 500,000 pairs of nucleotides but microbiologists have theorized that an organism might be able to get by on 100,000 pairs of  nucleotides.)  The  primordial organism had been magically given by Random Chance the ability to locate nutrients, relocate to those nutrients and then convert those nutrients into every thing that was needed to continue to be alive. Best of all by Random Chance the primordial organism could magically reproduce. Sometimes a new child organism would by Random Chance have abilities that the parent organism did not possess itself.

(Some say that new organisms acquired these new abilities in response to changes in their surroundings as organisms moved further and further from the original location of the primordial ooze.  Others say that they acquired these new abilities by Random Chance and that the ones that had the abilities that made them most fit survived to continue the process.  Those on both sides are sure that they are right and claim to have indisputable proof that those on the other side are uneducated buffoons.  It does not really matter since this is a fairy tale and logic need not apply.)

One day by Random Chance, for no particular reason, one of the new organisms had a definite shape instead of just being a shapeless liquid blob like other organisms including the one that produced it.  Soon by Random Chance all sorts of new organisms had more defined shapes and other characteristics to do more and more incredible things.  Soon there were organisms that grew roots to deep into the earth and grew branches that reached towards the clouds.  There were organisms that had wings and could fly high.  There were organisms that had legs and could run fast.  There were organisms that fins and could swim deep.  There also began to be a resizing of the organisms by Random Chance.  Some organisms were so small that millions could live on a speck of dust.  Other organisms were so large that they could cover the large areas of land.

Then on a fluke by Random Chance an organism reproduced and made another organism that was not completely mindless.  Whenever this organism in turn reproduced then by Random Chance some of their offspring had the ability to be even smarter than the parent organism.  This process continued for a long time (some say millions of years since Random Chance always acts in a completely unpredictable and random manner) until organisms were made through reproduction that were so intelligent that they called themselves "Homo Sapiens" (literally "Wise Men") or the Wise Ones.  It was the Wise Ones then made up this fairy tale about Random Chance and the primordial ooze called Evolution to explain the origin of the Wise Ones and all other organisms.

The Fairy Tale of Evolution like all fairy tales is really just an elaborate lie.  Its details change from generation to generation because it will not hold up to close scrutiny.  It is in constant need of rescue mechanisms as people ask more questions about its many deficiencies that are obvious to anyone that has not drank the kool-aid given to them by their science teachers. It is like when someone tells one lie and then has to tell other lies to cover up discrepancies in the original lie.  The web of lies just keeps becoming more elaborate because deep down inside people sense that it is a lie.  The truth on the other hand always remain simple because it never needs a rescue mechanism.

When I was first heard this fairy tale in middle school science class I thought that maybe it could be true.  But when I began to examine it more closely I found that it was no more true than stories of Leprechauns.

I loved mathematics and when I was sixteen I studied the mathematics of evolution over my summer break. The mathematics of evolution showed the complete absurdity of believing that the complexity of even the simplest organism imaginable, the primordial organism, came about by random chance.  Of course, there were other things that were equally impossible from a logical viewpoint like an organism adding complexity to its offspring that did not help the cause of evolution.  I had to let go of all belief in evolution just like I had previously let go of all belief in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.

Another thing that makes the Evolution Myth so far fetched is its total dependence on random chance.  There is no notion of anything occurring by random chance in science or mathematics any where except when it comes to theories about the origins of the universe and human life.  "Random Chance" is the god of the Evolution Myth.  So in a sort of loopy logic that would never work in an actual computer program those that cling to this myth insist that Evolution is the proof of the existence of Random Chance and Random Chance is the proof that Evolution happened.

In every other endeavor of science the universe runs on laws instead of random chance.  The science of physics is possible because of the laws of physics.  The same is true for chemistry, astronomy, and every other branch of science including computer science which deals with the laws of logic.  Mathematics is the study and discovery of the laws of mathematics. 

The truth is random chance does not really exists anymore than the gods of Greek mythology or Hixie-Pixie.  There is an entire area of mathematics devoted to dispelling the notion of random chance but instead showing that everything in the physical world indeed works by the laws of mathematics and science.  The entirety of the fields of science and mathematics is nothing more than discovering the laws that the universe works by and determining how to apply those laws to solve real life problems.  For example, it was by discovering and applying the fundamental laws of aerodynamics that allowed the Wright Brothers to create a heavier-than-air machine that could fly.

Random chance is just a perception of the human mind but not a physical reality.  For example when someone rolls a pair of dice the outcome of the roll is determined by the laws of physics.  The outcome is unpredictable to the roller because they do not know all of the laws involved and cannot control all of the parameters that apply to those laws.  However, those that have enough understanding of the laws involved and know how to control the parameters that apply to a pair of dice can change the dice to always come up with the same number.  This is done by moving the center of gravity of each die away from the center and towards the side that will be face down when the desired side is face up.  It is those that understand that dice operate by the laws of physics instead of random chance that can produced "loaded" dice that always produce the same number when rolled.

More than that there is no precedence of evolution ever being observed in any living organism throughout history.  There are one cell organisms with short time spans between when they became a separate organism when another organism divided and when they will divide into two organisms.  Some of these organisms have had millions of generations of reproduction since the time of Darwin and yet they remain identical to the ones observed at the time of Darwin.  Millions of species of organisms that have been discovered by man and no one has ever actually observed any sort of evolution occur.  There has not been one instance of anyone observing any organism ever producing offspring that is outside of the box that defines the core characteristics of its species.  Instead every organism just keeps reproducing more organisms of its own kind.  Would you believe that evolution only occurs when nobody is looking?  If so would you also believe that the word "gullible" is not in the dictionary?

Make no mistake evolution is at the core of a religion that requires people to ignore reality in order to believe that religion.  In this religion there is supposedly no god but in reality there is a god called "Random Chance".  Everything in this religion of human secularism relies on the god of Random Chance for all explanations of the past, all morality for present behavior, and all expectations of the future.

As has already been shown the universe operates on laws rather than random chance.  The god called "Random Chance" is just another idol made by people that has no ability to do anything (Deuteronomy 4:28).  The truth is that evolution is just another idol that was the skillfully made by some scientists just like a wooden idol that is made by some carpenters (Isaiah 44:13-15).  No matter how many people claim that they were made by random chance it is no more credible than those that claimed that they were made by some other idol (Jeremiah 2:27).  Those that believe in the god of Random Chance and the doctrine of evolution are foolish brutes who worship the work of their own minds like those that worship the work of their own hands (Jeremiah 10:8-9).

It was the god of "Random Chance" that Aaron claimed made the golden calf when the people of Israel threw their gold into the fire (Exodus 32:24).  In reality, "Random Chance" did not exist but was only an excuse for their rebellion against the Father of Truth (Exodus 32:21-23).  There was an original source that made the golden calf (Exodus 32:35).  Nothing ever occurs without a cause (Proverbs 26:2).  The universe was made on purpose by the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) just like the golden calf was made on purpose by Aaron instead occurring without a cause by Random Chance.

You might think that evolution is relatively modern invention that started with Darwin but it actually goes back much further than that.  There were Greek philosophers like Aristotle that taught similar notions but there is evidence of these ideas being believed by many of the elite in ancient Egypt way before that.  The truth is there is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9-11).  Evolution is nothing more than this ancient religion being falsely called science (2 Timothy 6:20-21).  Real science that is practiced by the kings of science like Newton is methodically discovering and applying the laws of science that the Father of Truth has concealed (Proverbs 25:2).

If the structural design similarities between fins of a whale and the wings of a bat are not the product of random chance then how can they be explained?  It turns out that the obvious answer is the correct answer and that is that they have a common design because they have a common designer.  Instead of believing that there is intelligence in their design by random chance it is far more reasonable to believe that there is intelligence in their design because their design is the product of an intelligent designer.

The Father of Truth is that intelligent designer who created the universe (Genesis 1:1).  The Earth has an atmosphere of clouds that is necessary to support life by design (Genesis 1:6-7).  The Earth has oceans and dry land that are needed to support life by design (Genesis 1:9-10).  The Earth has plants with roots that go deep into the earth and branches that reach up towards the clouds which can create seeds to reproduce more plants of the same kind by design (Genesis 1:11-12).  The Earth has animals that fly high and swim deep with the capability to reproduce more animals of the same kind by design (Genesis 1:20-22).  The Earth has animals that run fast with the capability to reproduce more animals of the same kind by design (Genesis 1:24-25).  Most importantly, there are men on the Earth because the Father of Truth designed people to be miniatures of Himself (Genesis 1:26-27).  The universe and everything in it was made on purpose to take care of the needs of His crowning achievement called the human race (Genesis 1:28-30).

Every religion attempts to answer three questions.  Where did we come from?  Why are we here? Where are we going?  The religion built on evolution has an answer for each question.  The answer to the first question is by accident.  The answer to the second question is no reason at all.  The answer to the third question is extinction.  What a depressing religion!

The Book of Truth (The Bible) has much better answers to these questions.

The Father of Truth made the Earth and controls the atmosphere that surrounds it (Jeremiah 10:12-13).  He is the former of all things (Jeremiah 10:16).  He created the Earth to be inhabited (Isaiah 45:18).  The Earth was given to the human race as a place for them to inhabit (Psalm 115:16).

The original man was made by Him (Genesis 5:1).  From this original man came every nation of people (Acts 17:24-26).  We came from Him instead of coming from something that was made by man like an idol called Random Chance (Acts 17:28-29).

The Father of Truth made people so they could know Him but we have separated ourselves from Him (Genesis 3:8-10).  He wants all people to come to know Him instead of seeking after a man made god like Random Chance that offers no help in times of trouble (Isaiah 45:20-22).  He made all people and scattered them across the Earth to cause them to seek after Him so that they would find Him (Acts 17:26-27).

Our entire duty is to trust and obey Him because everything we do shall be made known to everyone (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).

The Father of Truth told Moses that since people could not stand in His presence that He would send a man that they must listen to (Deuteronomy 18:15-20). He sent the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) so that people could come back to Him (John 3:16-18).  He sent His Son into this world so people could understand what He is like (John 14:8-10).  His Son became like us so we could become like His Father (1 John 3:1-3).  That is our entire purpose!

Where we are going depends upon which path we decide to follow.  We will all be resurrected and each person will either suffer eternal punishment or enjoy eternal reward (Daniel 12:1-3).

Some will follow the Man of Truth in obeying the Father of Truth (Matthew 7:20-21).  They will live with forever with their Father in the renewed universe (Revelation 21:1-4).

Most will follow the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) by believing elaborate lies like the fairy tale of evolution because he is the original source of all lies (John 8:44).  They will live forever with their father in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:10-15).

You might be wondering since evolution is the greatest fairy tale ever told why do so many people believe it.  People follow this fairy tale for the same reason that they worship idols.  People worship at the altar of evolution because they have rejected the Father of Truth (Romans 1:21).  People irrationally cling to evolution because they want to believe a lie instead of the truth (Romans 1:25).   People drink the evolution kool-aid because they are in rebellion against Him (Romans 1:28-31).  People believe in evolution because they refuse to hear the truth and turn from their wickedness just like the kingdom of Judah (Zechariah 7:9-11).  In short, they believe in evolution because they want the fairy tale to be true regardless of how unreasonable it is.

You still might want some proof of the validity of the Book of Truth.

The universe is way too complex to have happened by Random Chance but instead is proof of a universe maker (Psalm 19:1).  The very universe and every living thing on Earth is proof of a creator by their very existence and complexity (Romans 1:20).   All you need for proof is to look at the sky on a starry night.

The Father of Truth tells of things before they ever occur which can never be contributed to Random Chance or any other idol (Isaiah 42:8-9).  There is no possibility of this occurring by any other means (Isaiah 45:21).  He declares the end of a matter from its beginning like when the Babylonians came from the east to remove the Jews from the land of Israel (Isaiah 46:9-11).  He declared while the nation of Judah was still standing that the Jews would be scattered all over the Earth and then regathered to once again create the nation of Israel (Jeremiah 31:9-11).  All you really need for proof is to look at a map of the Middle East.

The Father of Truth has given assurance of all of these things by raising the Man of Truth from the dead (Acts 17:30-31).  This was not done in the corner of some long lost place in the obscurity of unwritten history but was a well known event in the land of Israel and throughout the Roman Empire (Acts 26:23-26).  All you really need for proof is to read the history of the Middle East during the first century AD.

But better than all of that, the Father of Truth makes an offer of proof that neither Random Chance nor any other idol can ever make.  He promises that you can still find Him even if you have been lead astray by the idol like the one called Random Chance (Deuteronomy 4:28-29).  He promises that if you will seek after Him with all your heart then He will show Himself to you in a way that is meaningful to you (Jeremiah 29:13).  So the proof is available to anyone that is willing to look for it.

The story of how things began never changes in the Book of Truth because the Book of Truth never changes (Isaiah 40:6-8).  Not one part of one letter will ever change in the Book of Truth (Matthew 5:18).  The Book of Truth will outlast the universe (Matthew 24:35).   If you look at a part of the Book of Truth found in the dead sea scrolls written in the original language (Hebrew) in 200 BC you will find that not even a part of any letter is different in that same passage in a modern writing in Hebrew.  There is no need for new versions or rescue mechanisms or any other sort of change because the Book of Truth is true.

Those that preach evolution call themselves wise ("homo sapiens") but have become fools (Romans 1:22).  Those that believe that there is no god will always end up as fools (Psalm 14:1).  Those that believe there is no god will inevitably lose all restraint so they commit all kinds of evil (Psalm 53:1). That is why the atheistic leaders of the twentieth century like Lenin, Hitler, Stalin and Mao Zedong managed to kill more people than all of their predecessors combined.  It is as foolish to trust in evolution as it is to trust in an idol (Habakkuk 2:18-19).  Those that make up this fairy tale called evolution will be shown to be fools like those that make idols (Isaiah 45:16).  Those that teach this foolishness because they relied on their own strength instead of the Father of Truth will all be shown to be fools (Psalm 52:5-7).

The Father of Truth will one day show the world that all idols like the god called Random Chance are completely worthless so that no one worships them (Jeremiah 10:10-11). The doctrine of evolution is a lie that has no life to it and those that worship at the altar of evolution are completely in error so that they will one day perish (Jeremiah 10:14-15).

If you have drank the kool-aid of evolution now is the age for you to be enlightened.  It is time to reject this escape from reason and face the facts of life with a sober mind. It is time to listen to the voice of reason.  It is time to lose your religion.

The Father of Truth wants to reason with you so that you can be cleansed from your sins (Isaiah 1:18).  He is the one that is drawing you to the Man of Truth (John 6:44).  He has been allowing mankind to continue in evil because He is not willing that any should perish but desires that all should repent (2 Peter 3:9).  He has sent His son because he wants all men to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:3-5).

You will not understand this with your head (mind) at first because you believe with your heart (spirit) not with your head (Romans 10:10).  You will understand more clearly as your mind is made new by reading the Book of Truth afterwards (Romans 12:2).

It is time for you to leave behind the greatest fairy tale ever told because you are no longer ignorant of the truth (Acts 17:30-31).  You need to come into the House of Truth by submitting to the Man of Truth in total surrender because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-9).

Come into the House of Truth.

Whose Wife Is She?

Could you be committing adultery with your spouse?

I once heard a story about a man who was lost at sea.

He had inherited some land on a point with a magnificent view of the ocean that had a grand house with a tower in the center where one could see for miles in every direction.  The man fell in love with a beautiful woman and they were married.

Not long after their second child was born, the man went to sea on a merchant ship.  Tragically, a tremendous storm arose when the ship had been at sea for many days.  The storm blew the ship far off of its charted course and finally destroyed the ship.  Neither the ship nor anyone on the ship was found despite considerable search and rescue efforts.

After a number of years he was declared legally dead and his wife remarried.  She had two more children with her second husband and they all lived happily in the house that the man lost at sea had left her in his will.

Unexpectedly the man lost at sea was found living alone on a deserted island far from the area where the ship had been presumed to have gone down and was rescued.  The man then returned to his home town and returned to the house that he had inherited from his father.

When the man lost at sea arrived home he discovered that there was another man living in his house with the woman that he had married.  He demanded that this other man and his children leave his house so that he could resume his life with his wife and children.  The other man refused saying that the woman was his wife and the house belonged to her.

Soon the case went to court where the judge ruled very quickly that the house did indeed belong to the man lost at sea since his will was not in effect as long as he was alive.  The real question that remained was that of the woman.

Whose wife was she?

Even though the circumstances have usually been less dramatic than those of the man lost at sea this has been an age old question that has bothered people as long as women have been remarrying.

Fortunately, the Book of Truth (the Bible) gives the truthful answer to this question.  To find the answer we will begin by looking at similar case involving David.

King Saul (Shaul) had promised to give his daughter Merab to David to be his wife, but instead he gave her to another man, that she was in love with (1 Samuel 18:19).  So he gave his daughter Michal, who in love with David, to be his wife instead (1 Samuel 18:20-21).  Later, Michal helped David escape, when her father, King Saul, tried to kill him (1 Samuel 19:11-13).  When King Saul hunted David to kill him, he declared David legally dead, and he gave his daughter Michal to a second husband, named Paltiel (1 Samuel 25:44).

Whose wife was she?

After King Saul was dead, then David demanded his wife Michal be given back to him, since he was no longer as good as dead (2 Samuel 3:14).  The second husband, Paltiel, protested that Michal was his wife, but she was returned to David (2 Samuel 3:15-16).

David claimed Michal as his wife, and so did Paltiel.  In fact, Michal and Paltiel may have had children together, during the many years that King Sual tried to kill David.  David hid from King Saul, and may not have been heard from for years.  Paltiel and Michael may even have believed, that David was dead at times.  But in the end, he returned to claim his wife, like the man lost at sea.

Whose wife was she?

Michal was the wife of David, because David had not died, as King Saul may have made her believe (Romans 7:2).  So what about the entire time that she was married to Paltiel, while David was still alive?

Paltiel and her were committing adultery, the entire time they were married, since David was not dead (Romans 7:3).  Though Paltiel and Michal could have been sinning in ignorance, but they were still sinning, and had to take corrective action to make things right, when it was revealed, that they had been living in sin (Leviticus 4:27-28).

A woman is the wife of her husband, even when people do not know that she is married. 

Pharaoh suffered greatly for intending to make Sarai (Sarah) his wife, even though he was ignorant, that she was the wife of Abram (Abraham) (Genesis 12:17-19).

King Abimelech was as good as dead, when he took Sarah (Sarai) to marry her, even though he was ignorant, that she was the wife of Abraham (Abram) (Genesis 20:2-4).  King Abimelech would have died, if he had not taken corrective action, once he was no longer in ignorance (Genesis 20:5-7).

Even though Isaac (Yitzhak) had lied, about Rebecca (Rivkah) not being his wife, anyone who would have married her, would have been sinning (Genesis 26:9-10).

You might be thinking, how often does things like that happen?

The truth is not very often, but there is another far more common scenario, where the same question must be answered.

Whose wife is she?

One example of this is the case of Herodias.  Herodias had married Herod, after his brother Philip had previously married her (Mark 6:17).  Herodias had obtained a divorce from Philip under Roman law, but according to the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) it was not lawful, for Herod to marry her (Mark 6:18).  It was not lawful for Herod to marry her, because she was still the wife of his brother Philip, even though she had obtained government approval to divorce Philip, and marry Herod (Luke 3:19).

Herodias was still the wife of Philip, because Philip was still alive.  (He did not die, until about three years after Yochanon the Mikveh Man (John the Baptist) told Herod, that it was unlawful for him to marry her.)  If Philip had died, then she could have married Herod, because she was free to remarry (1 Corinthians 7:39).

In fact, if Philip had died without leaving any children, then Herod would have been required to have married her by the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) (Deuteronomy 25:5-6).  In fact, she would had to have kept marrying his brothers, when one of them died, as long as there were any to marry, until she left a child for each of brother, that she had married (Matthew 22:24-26).

Since Philip was still alive, then Herod could not marry her, for she was still the wife of his brother Philip (Leviticus 18:16).  In fact, they never had any children, because they were under the curse of the Father of Truth, as long as Herod remained married to Herodias, and his brother Philip was still alive (Leviticus 20:21).

So even though Herodias had obtained a government approved divorce, under the law of the land, she was still the wife of Philip.  This is because the government cannot annul any covenant, that the Father of Truth has set up including marriage (Mark 10:7-9).

You might be thinking, that you do not of anyone that has married the same woman as his brother, so how does this apply to most people?

The Pharisees (Parushim) asked the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) these same questions.  They want to know if divorce was legal for anyone (Mark 10:2).  They were directed to examine the law that the Father of Truth had given to Moses (Mark 10:3).  This law said that they could write a bill of divorce to end their marriage (Mark 10:4).  The Man of Truth told them that this law of divorce was included because they were hard-hearted but divorce was not the original intention of the Father of Truth (Mark 10:5-6).

In this law of divorce a man could divorce his wife by writing her a bill of divorce if he found uncleanness in her (Deuteronomy 24:1).  Once she was given a bill of divorce under those conditions then she was free to marry another man (Deuteronomy 24:2).

It was the phrase "uncleanness causes a wife to lose favor in the eyes of her husband" that was the real issue.  The majority of the Pharisees (Parashim) maintained that this phrase meant anything that displeased a man qualified so there was divorce for any cause.  In fact, because of this teaching that divorce was legitimate for any cause more than fifty percent of all marriages in Judaea ended in divorce at that time.

One bill of divorce found from that era lists carelessness in seasoning of the gravy as the uncleanness that caused the wife to lose favor in the eyes of her husband.  Also a woman could demand a divorce from her husband and the Pharisees would compel her husband to give it to her.  They would even write a bill of divorce on his behalf if he refused.

The Man of Truth said that this uncleanness was unfaithfulness that would cause a woman to give her body and affections to another man (Matthew 5:32). 

There was also another type of uncleanness that did not apply in the case of those that worshiped the Father of Truth and that was spiritual unfaithfulness to Him.  It was this type of uncleanness in their wives that turned the men of Israel from Him (Judges 3:5-7).  It was for this type of uncleanness that Ezra commanded that the men of Israel to divorce their foreign wives (Ezra 10:10-12).

What if the woman had been divorced under any other conditions or her husband had refused to give her a bill of divorce?  What if she married another man after receiving a divorce on illegitimate grounds?

Whoever married a woman that did not have a legitimate divorce was committing adultery with her because she was still the wife of her former husband (Matthew 19:9).  A woman that did not have a legitimate divorce was committing adultery when she remarried because she was still the wife of her former husband (Mark 10:10-12).  Anyone that is marries someone that has an illegitimate divorce or that marries again without a legitimate divorce is in an adulterous relationship because she is still the wife of her former husband (Luke 16:18).

Because a woman is still the wife of her husband unless he divorces her for unfaithfulness the Man of Truth has commanded that a wife to not depart from their husband (1 Corinthians 7:10).  If she does depart then she must not remarry because she is still his wife and will be committing adultery if she should remarry but the same thing applies to her husband (1 Corinthians 7:11).

In the case of a Child of Truth (one who obeys the Father of Truth because they love Him) that has married someone that has not came into the House of Truth then they are not to divorce their spouse (1 Corinthians 7:12-13).  They need to stay married for the sake of their children (1 Corinthians 7:14).  If their spouse then leaves them for following the Man of Truth then the divorce was over spiritual uncleanness and they are free to remarry because the spiritual uncleanness of the one that did not come into the House of Truth made the divorce legitimate (1 Corinthians 7:15).  The goal of the Child of Truth should never be to seek a divorce from their spouse but to bring their spouse into the House of Truth (1 Corinthians 7:16).

So what are you supposed to do if you realize that are married to the wife or husband of someone else?

First of all you must recognize that you will not be saved if you continue in this adulterous relationship (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).  Your flesh will want the adulterous relationship to continue (Galatians 5:19).  Continuing in this adulterous relationship will bring the judgment of the Father of Truth upon you (Hebrews 13:4).

Secondly, you must recognize that you must repent from this sin. It is not enough for you to just confess that you have been committing adultery with the wife or husband of another person - you must take corrective action (Matthew 3:6-8).  You must end this adulterous relationship now that you are no longer ignorant that you have been sinning against the Father of Truth (Acts 17:30). 

Finally, realize that this sin is not unforgivable if you will repent.  The blood of the Man of Truth was shed to cleanse you from all sin when you repent including being married to another man's wife or another woman's husband (1 John 1:7).

The Man of Truth will give you the strength to repent if you will come into the House of Truth (Philippians 4:13).  You can come into the House of Truth by submitting to the Man of Truth in every area including this area because you believe that the Father of Truth raise him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth.
