The Worst Kind of Hatred

What is the worst kind of hatred?

The first thing that might pop into the minds of many people would be the hatred that Hitler and the Nazis had for the Jews.  After all, they developed and implemented a plan designed to take everything that the Jews owned, then start gathering Jewish people into concentration camps, force those Jews to perform work that made it possible to gather more Jewish people into more such camps, and then systematically start killing them off, starting with those who were the least useful in continuing the operation.  They planned on continuing this operation until every single Jew in Europe was dead and then take over the world so that they could kill every single Jew on Earth.  The hatred that the Nazis had for the Jews was undoubtedly strong.

What is the worst kind of hatred?

Yet other people would argue that there has been another form of hatred that is even greater as that of the Nazis for the Jews.  Whereas the hatred of the Nazis was active and vocal this other form of hatred is passive and silent.  Yet for many people in many places it has similar effects on their lives as the concentration camps had on the Jews.  This passive hatred leads to the young and the old dying slowly over a period of days or years from many of the same causes of death among Jews in the concentration camps such as starvation and treatable diseases.  This passive hatred allows the slavery, rape and death of young girls and boys to continue through its inaction similar to what happened to many Jews.  This passive hatred is not a hatred whereby one group goes out of its way to harm another group, like the Nazis did with the Jews, but is a hatred whereby one group goes out it way to ignore the suffering of those in another group, like many people in modernized countries do with many people in undeveloped countries.  This passive hatred is one whereby those who possess it are simply indifferent to the suffering of others.

This passive hatred of indifference finds any sacrifice to relieve the suffering of others to be too great - no matter how small of a sacrifice it really is.  This passive hatred of indifference will never give anything to help those who are suffering unless there is something in it for the giver.  This passive hatred of indifference is not spread by stirring speeches of brilliant orators but by the allure of pursuing momentary pleasure.  This passive hatred of indifference does not arise from an anger that seeks to hurt others but from a myriad of self-centered pursuits that take away the ability to help others.  This passive hatred of indifference is found among people of every religion, race and creed in the world.  More people have suffered through this passive hatred of indifference than could fit into all of the concentration camps that have ever been built.  The suffering caused by this passive hatred of indifference cannot be put to an end by military intervention like the suffering caused by the Nazis came to an end when the Allies captured their concentration camps.

This passive hatred of indifference is often fueled by the endless pursuit of bigger, better, newer stuff as explained more thoroughly in Bigger, Better, Newer.  Those who possess this passive hatred of indifference may give at times to help with the suffering of others but it is only because they believe that they will benefit in some fashion as explained in Giving To Get.

What is the worse kind of hatred?

Of course, active hatred and passive hatred often work together to create suffering for others.  The Nazis could have never carried out their program of active hate against the Jews if it were not for the passive hatred of most of the rest of Germany that allowed it.  The actual original members of the Nazi party were less than one percent of the population of Germany in the beginning but the Nazi party was able to grow to the point of taking over because most of the other ninety-nine percent of the Germans were indifferent.  The one percent of active haters were able bully the 98 percent of passive haters into co-operation. (About one percent of the population actually made efforts of resistance.)  The madness of the holocaust happened due more to the indifference of the many than the actions of the few.

In the same way, the famines, starvation and treatable diseases, which is often brought on by the military action of evil dictators, could never kill so many people if the majority of people in the world would simply make the effort to provide food and medicine to these people while destroying the evil dictators.  There would be no sex trade if the majority of people in the world would simply make the effort to destroy the sex traders and their customers from the face of the Earth.  Yet the suffering continues due to the actions of the active haters working with the indifference of the passive haters.

What is the worst kind of hatred?

Still there is another kind of passive hatred that is even worse than these other two kinds of hatreds working together.  The Book of Truth (The Bible) tells about the worst kind of hatred.

What is the worst kind of hatred?

That of not warning people to turn from their sins when you see them committing them.  Some people will tell you that love does not say anything to other people when they sin.  However, the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) says that saying nothing to other people when you see them sin is actually hating them in your heart (Leviticus 19:17)!  Those who refuse to confront others about their sin despise those people that He made (Matthew 18:10)!

It is for this reason that the Father of Truth said that if anyone did not warn the Children of Lies to turn from their sins then the blood of those who sinned would be on the hands of those who did not issue the warning (Ezekiel 3:18).  In like manner, He said that if anyone did not warn the Children of Truth (those who obey the Father of Truth because they love Him) to turn from their sins when they backslide then the blood of the backslider would be on the hands of those who did not issue the warning (Ezekiel 3:20).

It is for this reason that the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) said that whenever one of the Children of Truth see one of them backslide then they must confront the one who is sinning by themselves (Matthew 18:15).  He said that if the backslider will not listen to them by themselves then they must proceed to confront the backslider again with one or two more of the Children of Truth (Matthew 18:16).  He said that if the backslider still persists in their sinful behavior then they must be confronted in front of the entire congregation and if the sinful behavior continues then the congregation must stop treating the backslider as if they were still living in the House of Truth (Matthew 18:17).  Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) said that this means that none of the Children of Truth must not even so much as eat with the backslider who continues their sinful behavior while calling themselves one of the Children of Truth (1 Corinthians 5:11).  This treatment of the backslider may seem harsh but love makes it necessary as explained in It Is Time For Some Tough Love.

Why is indifference towards the sin of others the worse kind of hatred?

It is the worst kind of hatred because the suffering caused by this hatred is so bad that it would be better for a person to lose parts of their body than to experience it (Matthew 18:8-9).  It is the worst kind of hatred because the suffering caused by this hatred never ends (Mark 9:47-48).  It is the worst of hatred because the suffering caused by this hatred that is way beyond anything people can experience on Earth (Luke 16:23-25).  It is the worst kind of hatred because the terrors of Hell are so much worse than anything that can happen to someone on Earth as told in more detail in Chamber of Horrors.

It is the worst kind of hatred because the Man of Truth suffered and died to prevent people for experiencing this suffering (Matthew 18:11-13).   It is the worst kind of hatred because the Father of Truth is not willing that anyone should perish (Matthew 18:14).  It is the wost kind of hatred because the eternal destiny of people is determined by rather or not anyone cares enough about them to confront them about their sin (Matthew 18:18).

It is the worst kind of hatred because the Father of Truth and the Man of Truth will help the two or three of the Children of Truth who gather together to confront the backslider so that they will repent instead of suffering (Matthew 18:19-20).  It is the worst kind of hatred because the Man of Truth commanded the Children of Truth to preach repentance from sin as part of the Good News (Luke 24:45-47).  It is the worst kind of hatred because repenting from sin to escape this terrible suffering is the foundation of the Good News that the Man of Truth taught (Hebrews 6:1-2).

It is the worst kind of hatred because it does not require money, influence, military might, power or special talents to in order to prevent this terrible suffering from ever beginning.  It is the worst kind of hatred because all that it takes to help others escape this horrible suffering is to care enough about others to speak up so that they might believe the Good News (1 Corinthians 1:21).

What hinders people from caring enough about others to confront them when they sin?

Some people will say that the Man of Truth said that no one should judge what anyone else is doing as wrong.  The truth is that he said no such thing as explained in Taken Out Of Context.  The truth is that saying nothing to someone who is putting themselves in danger of Hell by continuing in sin is worse than not warning them to leave a burning building as explained in The Burning House.  Anyone that does not warn people to repent of sin is hating them with the worst kind of hatred.

Some people have been religiously brainwashed by religious professionals into believing that there is no need to confront the Children of Truth if they return to sinful behavior because they will not suffer the consequences.  This has already been shown to be a lie and is proven so in more depth in Where Did You Get That Idea?  People must not just come into the House of Truth to be saved but they must stay there as shown in Stay In The House.  Anyone that does not warn the Children of Truth to remain in the House of Truth is hating them with the worst kind of hatred.

Some people have been told that Jews do not need to come into the House of Truth to be saved. Some people have been told that Jews cannot come into the House of Truth to be saved.  Both of these ideas are lies designed to keep Jewish people from being saved by coming into the House of Truth.  The Man of Truth first told only the Jews that they must repent of their sins to be saved (Matthew 10:5-7).  The Jews will suffer in Hell just like Gentiles unless they come into the House of Truth (Romans 2:5-11).  Any Jew who comes into the House of Truth will be saved just the Gentiles who come into the House of Truth (Romans 10:11-13).  Anyone that does not tell Jews about the Man of Truth is hating Jews with the worst kind of hatred.

Some people have been told that some people are just born gay so they will not suffer for their actions.  Some people have been told that telling homosexuals to repent of their homosexuality is hate.  Both of these ideas are lies designed to keep homosexuals from being saved by coming into the House of Truth.  We must love the homosexuals enough to tell them the truth that they were not born gay as proven in My DNA Made Me Do It.  We must tell them to repent because those who continue in homosexuality will suffer both in this life and in Hell as explained in Married In Sodom.  Anyone who does not tell the homosexual to repent of their homosexuality is hating homosexuals with the worst kind of hatred. 

What is behind these lies that keep those who claim to be part of the Children of Truth from confronting others when they sin?

The most common reason is that they are afraid is that they will be persecuted by those who are sinning.  They do not want others to accuse them of being judgmental (Genesis 19:7-9).  They surely do not want to confront others if they still need to repent of the sin that is in their own lives (Matthew 7:3-5).  They know that they will be separated from family members if they obey the Man of Truth by rebuking others for their sin (Luke 12:51-53).   They know that they will be hated like the Man of Truth was hated if they tell others that they must repent (John 7:7).  They do not confront others about sin because they love the praises of other people than more than the praise of the Father of Truth (John 12:42-43).  Since they care more about their own comfort than the eternal suffering of others they say nothing when they see others sin which is the worst kind of hatred.

The Children of Truth are those who obey the Man of Truth (John 14:15).  The Children of Truth love others enough to warn them to repent from sin because they obey the Father of Truth (1 John 5:1-3).  This is what it means to live in the House of Truth.

The Father of Truth never told you to go along to get along.  You must love other people even more than your job as explained in Are You Wearing A Costume.

You may have came into the House of Truth at some point but now find that you have been guilty of the worst kind of hatred.  You may have been paralyzed from action by the lies of others.  You may have been afraid to act before but now you understand that you must.  If you continue to deny the Man of Truth before people by ignoring his commandment to preach repentance then he will deny you before His Father (Matthew 10:32-33). 

If you have been guilty of the worst kind of hatred then you have been living in darkness (1 John 2:9-11).  If you have been guilty of the worst kind of hatred then you are no better than a murderer (1 John 3:15).  If you have been guilty of the worst kind of hatred then you really do not love the Father of Truth (1 John 4:20-21).  If you have been guilty of the worst kind of hatred then you need to repent right now.

Perhaps you have been a victim of the worst kind of hatred and no one has ever told you that you must repent of your sins to come into the House of Truth (Acts 3:19).  Perhaps no one has ever told you that you come into the House of Truth by surrendering control of your life to the Man of Truth because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  Perhaps no one has ever told you that you will be made into a brand new person with new desires if you come into the House of Truth (2 Corinthians 5:17).  Perhaps no one has ever told you that you will be able to stop sinning because the Man of Truth will be living in you when you come into the House of Truth (Colossians 1:27).

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.

It Is Time For Some Tough Love

How far should the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) go to keep each other from sin?

Am I my brother's keeper?  People have been asking this every since Cain was confronted by The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) for killing Abel (Genesis 4:9).  What does it mean to keep your brother?  The Hebrew word translated as "keeper" literally means "one that guards from harm".  So does the Father of Truth expect each and every Child of Truth to guard each Child of Truth that they know from harm?

We are to love the Father of Truth will all our spirit, soul and body (Deuteronomy 6:5). We are to love those in the House of Truth as we love ourselves. (Leviticus 19:18)  All that is written in the Book of Truth (The Bible) is to help us carryout these two commandments (Matthew 22:37-40).  It is our love for one another that shows that we are the Children of Truth (John 13:35).  If we love the Father of Truth then we must love each and every Child of Truth (1 John 4:21).

So the Father of Truth expects us to guard each other from harm.  We must warn every Child of Truth that we see sinning to avoid sinning against the Father of Truth ourselves (2 Chronicles 19:10).  We must warn them to keep their blood from being on our hands (Ezekiel 3:21).

How are the Children of Truth to keep guard over their fellow Children of Truth?  How far are we to go in guarding our brother (or sister) from harm?

The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) uses some tough love to bring those that leave the House of Truth back into the House of Truth and he commands us to do the same.

The Man of Truth commands the Children of Truth to confront their fellow Child of Truth one on one whenever their fellow Child of Truth has sinned against them and to warn them of the danger that they are in (Matthew 18:15).   What if they refuse to hear the warning and continue in their sin?

It is time for some tough love.  The Man of Truth commands the Children of Truth to take one or two more and then again confront their fellow Child of Truth and warn them of the danger that they are in (Matthew 18:16).  What if they still refuse to hear the warning and continue in their sin?

It is time for some tough love. The Man of Truth commands the Children of Truth to confront their fellow Child of Truth in front of the entire congregation and warn them of the danger that they are in (Matthew 18:17).

What if despite all of this the Child of Truth continues in the sin?

It is time for some tough love. The Man of Truth says that the Children of Truth are to then to treat them as if they are no longer a Child of Truth because they have left the House of Truth (Matthew 18:17).  What are we to do so they know they are still in danger?

We have an example of how to put this tough love into action (1 Corinthians 5:1-2).  We are to not intercede to the Father of Truth to protect them from the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) from physical harm so that they will come back into the House of Truth and be saved from eternal death (1 Corinthians 5:3-5).  We are to not spend time with them even to the point of refusing to eat at the same table with them (1 Corinthians 5:11-13).  We are to treat them this way because we love them and we want them to come back into the House of Truth (2 Thessalonians 3:14-15).  We are not to offer them any help as long as they remain outside of the House of Truth even to the point of refusing to say to them "God Bless You" (2 John 1:9-11).

What if they finally repent after all of this?  We are to forgive them and once again show that we love them as part of the family (2 Corinthians 2:6-8).   If we will show the Child of Truth that leaves the House of Truth some tough love so that they come back into the House of Truth then we will have saved them from death and we are to never mention their sin again (James 5:19-20).

What if they want to come back to us without repenting of their sin?

It is time for some tough love. The Man of Truth says that we must confront the Child of Truth that leaves the House of Truth because we demonstrate what is allowed and forbidden in Heaven by what we allow and forbid on Earth (Matthew 18:18).  You might think that marking them as unacceptable and avoiding them when they persist in sin is too harsh but this is to prevent them from will leading other people out of the House of Truth (Romans 16:17-18).  You might think that handing them over to the Father of Lies is too extreme but this must be done to prevent their disobedience to the Father of Truth from spreading throughout the entire congregation (1 Corinthians 5:6). You might think that the public humiliation of confronting them in front of the entire congregation is too tough but this must be done to protect others in the congregation from going into the same sin (1 Timothy 5:20).  We must not allow them to poison the entire congregation by refusing to confront them or the Man of Truth will not be pleased with us despite our other good works (Revelation 2:19-20).

What if we are not strong enough and wise enough to apply this tough love to the Child of Truth that leaves the House of Truth?

The Father of Truth will give us the strength and wisdom that we need to in bring the wandering Child of Truth back into the House of Truth if we ask him (Matthew 18:19).  The Man of Truth will be with us to give us the strength to in bring the wandering Child of Truth back into the House of Truth if we gather together in his name to intercede for the wandering Child of Truth (Matthew 18:20).  We can be tough enough to love them because the Man of Truth is tough enough and he lives in us if we will live in the House of Truth (John 15:4-7).  We can have a love that is strong enough if we will spend time with the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) (Galatians 5:22).

What if you do not apply this tough love to the Child of Truth that leaves the House of Truth?

It is time for some tough love. If you do not confront the Child of Truth that leaves the House of Truth then you hate them in your heart (Leviticus 19:17).  If you do not confront the Child of Truth that leaves the House of Truth then you are still in darkness (1 John 2:9).  If you do not confront the Child of Truth that leaves the House of Truth then you are a murderer and the life of the Man of Truth is not in you (1 John 3:15).  If you do not confront the Child of Truth that leaves the House of Truth then you are a liar and you do not love the Father of Truth (1 John 4:20).

You might think that hate is too strong of a word to use for your avoiding a confrontation, but it is not.  If you do not speak up against what they are doing then your silence is consent to their sin (Numbers 30:14).  If you do not warn them then the Father of Truth will require their blood from your hand (Ezekiel 3:20).  If you stand to the side to avoid getting involved instead of doing all that you can to rescue them from destruction then you are the same as one that sought their destruction (Obadiah 1:11).  If they do not repent on their own, then the Man of Truth will be forced to destroy them to protect the congregation, to cast those who they deceived into great tribulation to bring them to repentance, and even kill their family to put fear in the churches but he will hold you responsible (Revelation 2:21-23).

It is time for some tough love. They first came into the House of Truth when they called the Man of Truth their absolute ruler and believed that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  You must have a love for them that is tough enough to cause them as much sorrow as it takes so that they repent and come back into the House of Truth (2 Corinthians 7:9).  They cannot be saved if they do not repent to the point of returning to the House of Truth and never doing that thing again (2 Corinthians 7:10).  You must be willing to be an instrument of the chastisement for the Father of Truth to use when they leave the House of Truth so that they might live  (Hebrews 12:7-9).

Come into the House of Truth.

The Burning House

Do you know how to save others from a burning house?

In 1977 the Beverly Hills Supper Club caught fire and a bus boy named Walter Bailey decided to help people escape the burning house because he knew the firemen would arrive too late to save those in the Cabaret Room.  Walter knew that he could not force one person to leave the burning house against their will so he did the only thing that he could do to save them.  Walter took to the stage of the Cabaret Room, told the drunken crowd that they were in a burning house and gave them instructions on how to leave safely.  If everyone had followed his instructions immediately then not one soul in the Cabaret Room would have been lost.  However only some of the patrons paid attention to him and were saved.  The rest waited until it was too late and burned to death.  Many were found dead on the edge of safety at the main entrance.  Those that perished had been warned that they were in a burning house and given instructions on how to reach safety just like those that were saved.  They alone were responsible for the Hell that came upon them.

Perhaps some of those that perished were too drunk to understand the warning.  Perhaps some had not given credence to the warning because Walter was only a bus boy - the lowest position in the night club.  Perhaps some did not listen to the warning because Walter was young.  Perhaps some intended to follow the instructions after they finished whatever they were doing.  Perhaps some did not follow the instructions immediately because they would have had to leave something behind that they valued.  Perhaps some did not follow the instructions because they did not want anyone telling them what to do.  Perhaps some did not follow the instructions because their friends or family members would not follow the instructions.  Perhaps some thought that Walter hated them for shutting down their party and telling them that they had to follow his instructions to be saved.

In like manner, when we warn others that they are in a burning house due to the consequences of sin (disobedience to the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD)) and give them instructions on how to be saved then they may hate us.  It was telling others that they were in disobedience that caused people to hate the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) (John 7:7).  If you are a Child of Truth (someone who obeys The Father of Truth because they love Him) then you will also be hated for telling others that they were in disobedience (John 15:18-19).  However, it is love, not hate, to tell someone to leave a burning house.

Those that are not following the Man of Truth are in a burning house.  They will perish unless they leave the burning house (Luke 13:5).  They must come into the House of Truth to have their sins blotted out (Acts 3:19).  Those that come into the House of Truth are saved from perishing in the burning house (James 5:20).

The Father of Truth and all that are with Him rejoice when people leave the burning house (Luke 15:10).  The Father of Truth raised the Man of Truth from the dead to bring people out of the burning house (Acts 5:30-31).  The Father of Truth has granted those that do not know Him an opportunity to leave the burning house (Acts 11:18).  The Father of Truth commands that people leave the burning house once they are warned (Acts 17:30).  It is the goodness of the Father of Truth that brings people out of the burning house (Romans 2:4).  The Father of Truth had the Book of Truth (The Bible) written so people could be warned that they were in a burning house (1 Timothy 2:3-4).  The Father of Truth wants everyone to come into the House of Truth so they can be saved (1 Timothy 2:3-4).   The Father of Truth brings people into the House of Truth when they leave the burning house (2 Timothy 2:25).  The Father of Truth does not want to leave anyone in the burning house (2 Peter 3:9).

The Man of Truth was sent to warn people that they are in a burning house and to tell them how to leave the burning house (Matthew 9:13).  The Man of Truth warned those in the burning house and told them how to leave the burning house (Mark 1:14-15).  The Man of Truth has sent the Children of Truth to warn others that they are in a burning house and to tell them how to leave the burning house (Mark 6:12). 

If you are a Child of Truth then you must do what you can to save others from the burning house. The Man of Truth has told us that we must warn others that they are in a burning house and tell them how to leave the burning house (Mark 16:15-16).  The Man of Truth has commissioned us to warn everyone that is in the burning house to leave by coming into the House of Truth (Luke 24:47).  The Children of Truth save others from the burning house by the foolishness of preaching that the Man of Truth was crucified and raised from the dead (1 Corinthians 1:18-21).   The Children of Truth are to use both compassion and fear to convince people to leave the burning house (Jude 1:22-23).

If you are a Child of Truth and you do not do everything in your power to warn others that they are in a burning house and to instruct them how to leave the burning house, then the Father of Truth will require their blood at your hands (Ezekiel 3:18).  If you are a Child of Truth and you do everything in your power to warn others that they are in a burning house and to instruct them how to leave the burning house but they remain in the burning house, then the Father of Truth will hold you guiltless (Ezekiel 3:19).

If you are not a Child of Truth then you are being warned that you are in a burning house.  You can come out of the burning house and into the House of Truth by calling the Man of Truth the boss of every area of your life and by believing that the Father of Truth raised the Man of Truth from the dead (Romans 10:9).  There is no salvation without repentance and there is no repentance without total surrender (2 Corinthians 7:9-10).

Come into the House of Truth.
