On the Wrong Side of the Tracts

Learn why almost no one is going to Hell—or Heaven—yet!

On the Wrong Side of the Tracts — why Christian mini-leaflets fail to reveal "the Way, the Truth, and the Life"

WHAT ARE TRACTS?

They are tiny, single sheet leaflets, sometimes folded to perhaps 3x5 inches, that supposedly present Christianity in a theological "nutshell". Just agree with the "verses" on one side of the leaflet; connect the eight, or so, "scriptural dots"—if that's not too confusing—sign on the (dotted) or solid line on the back of the tract, and "presto chango"; you have single-handedly "flipped the switch" that sends your "soul train" up the mountain tracks to eternal life in Heaven, instead of its "from-the-moment-of-conception" default descent into "the valley of the shadow of eternal death", which apparently means eternal life in ever-burning hell-fire. The choice is yours —supposedly.

And those who leave anonymous leaflet droppings all over the place assure themselves that someday they will see thousands of "stars" in their "heavenly crowns" because they went to all the trouble of letting a leaflet do what neither Jesus (YAHshua), nor any of his disciples could do—get people to sign a do-it-yourself "contract" guaranteeing eternal salvation simply by agreeing to believe a handful of Bible verses that neither Jesus, nor his disciples knew about—because they hadn't been written yet.

As I've mentioned before—if all that GOD requires for a human to instantly qualify for eternal life in Heaven, instead of eternal life in Hell, is to agree with a few "scripture verses", why didn't GOD think of enabling every human baby to be able to read, and understand a few "New Testament" scriptures from birth—and make those scriptures available around the World from the first day of Adam and Eve's existence?

Lest you get the impression that I have a problem believing that each and every scripture found on most traditional Christian "gospel tracts" is revealed truth—I don't. The verses mean what they say to someone who reads them in context—with surrounding verses that help explain their fullness.

But too many "salvation tracts" present an "empty nutshell" version of the way to "salvation"—meaning the literal saving of one's personality-generating "spirit" from annihilation by GOD at some point after the end of one's only physical life. No one is truly saved until after his or her personal judgment by the Angel of the LORD—YAHshua. For most who take the minute or two needed to read a typical tract, it will have as much value in the real World, and in the "next World", as the tiny message found in a Chinese "fortune cookie".

GO NOT HOUSE-TO-HOUSE

Some who go "door-to-door" trying to get strangers on the track to Heaven, instead of to Hell, believe they are emulating the disciples of Jesus who were sent out to present an extremely simplified announcement of the "gospel", or good news of the impending Kingdom of GOD, which will be administrated by the Messiah/Christ on Earth. They aren't.

LUKE 10:1-9

10:1 After these things the Lord appointed another seventy also, and sent them two and two before [he showed] his face into every city and place, where he himself would come.

10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Pray you therefore to the LORD [GOD] of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest.

10:3 Go your ways. Behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

10:4 Carry neither purse, nor pouch, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way [don’t attract attention].

10:5 And into whatsoever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

10:6 And if the "son of peace" [those who can relate to, or have a kinship with peace] be there, your peace shall rest upon it. If not, it shall return to you again.

10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give [don’t be concerned with religious prohibitions on food and drink]; for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house [like door-to-door religion salesmen].

10:8 And into whatsoever city you enter [which YAHshua, himself, would soon enter after them], and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:

10:9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The Kingdom of GOD has come near unto you.

Jesus told those he sent out to spread the "news" of the coming Kingdom of GOD, "Go not from house to house". Jesus' normal method of operation at the beginning of his ministry, was to preach his gospel messages in synagogues, with hope that there would be some in the audience interested in expanding their existing belief in the coming of the Messiah of Israel. He preached to those most likely to listen.

But Church venues have always been a "tough audience"—as they continue to be, today—in regard to teaching anyone something "new". In fact when he decided to reveal more about himself than ever before in the synagogue of his childhood—the "bouncers" (sometimes called "deacons") tried to throw him off of a cliff!

LUKE 4:14-19

4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

4:15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day [not only in Nazareth, but through all the region] and stood up in order to read.

4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written [Isaiah 61:1-2],

4:18 The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted; to preach deliverance to the captives; and recovering of sight to the blind; to set at liberty them that are bruised;

4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the LORD [the fiftieth year of Jubilee—Leviticus 25].

LEVITICUS 25:17-18

25:17 You shall not therefore oppress one another; but you shall fear your GOD: for I am the LORD your GOD.

25:18 Wherefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.

LUKE 4:20-32

4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

4:22 And all bore him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

4:23 And he said unto them, You will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal yourself [he still looked emaciated from his forty-day fast in the wilderness of "Armageddon"]: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum [where he lived], do also here in your country [your old "home town"].

4:24 And he said, Truly I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country [by those who knew the prophet before he became a prophet].

4:25 But I tell you truthfully, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months; when great famine was throughout all the land;

4:26 But unto none of them was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

4:27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

4:28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,

4:29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

4:30 But he, passing through the midst of them [as if they were put into a trance], went his way,

4:31 And came down to Capernaum [where he had a private home], a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath days [in his local synagogue].

4:32 And they were astonished at his doctrine; for his word was with power.

When his healing miracles began to draw large audiences (or more accurately, spectators, since few could hear him clearly—and even his closest disciples seldom understood him—he continued to attempt to teach those who came to him—as long as they were "Jews" or Israelites, and not "Gentiles".

MATTHEW 10:5-8

10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter you not:

10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.

10:7 And as you go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand [not that one could instantly "believe" his way into a "mental Kingdom of GOD"].

10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give.

The apparent reality was, however, that the disciples were not given supernatural power "freely", or liberally, from GOD, to "perform healings" "at will"—as some current day "evangelists" claim to be doing. There is no evidence any of the disciples raised anyone from the dead. Even YAHshua, himself, was rarely recorded as authorizing the return of anyone to a continuation of mortal life—though that doesn't mean he wasn't doing it.

MATTHEW 15:22-28

15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, you son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she cries after us [what compassionate guys].

15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel.

15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

15:26 But he answered and said, It is not proper to take the children's bread, and to cast it to "dogs" [he was being facetious about Samaritans being called "mongrel dogs" by some discriminatory "Jews" because of their lack of ancestral "purity"].

15:27 And she said [knowing he wasn't being serious], Truth, Lord; yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is your faith [not just in his healing power, but in his position of authority with GOD]: be it unto you even as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

HAS JESUS BEEN "KNOCKING" ON EVERYONE'S "DOOR" IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE EVERYONE THROUGHOUT HISTORY?

In spite of an often misappropriated spiritual image found in Revelation 3:20 which refers to the Lord attempting to regain the attention of those in the Church of GOD in Laodicea who had claimed they were believers, but had "closed the door" of their spiritual receptiveness to him— the Lord never had, and still doesn't have any reason to try to "get a foot in the door" of anyone's private life, or house, with a "life, or death", "now, or never" "hair on fire" message requiring an immediate decision regarding one's "preferred" choice of eternal, after-death destination— Heaven, or Hell.

REVELATION 3:14-22 (continued below)

3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen [one of YAHshua's names is "Amen", or AH'mun, as it was when the Israelites in Egypt were being taught, by means of not entirely "pagan" symbolism, to call the Sun-god, or "God, the Sun", the "King of Gods"— "Amon Ra(e)", or Amon "Ray"] the faithful and true witness, the beginning [Angel] of the creation of GOD;

Those who end their prayers by saying "in Jesus' name— Amen" have no understanding of its true significance. But those closest to the Angel of the LORD, frequently call him by his name "Amen", or AH'mun. The sound is also heard in the name "almond"— an exceptionally symbolic creation designed to illustrate several spiritual concepts— which will be revealed in later publications.

REVELATION 5:14

5:14 And the four "beasts" said, "Amen". And the four and twenty Elders fell down and worshipped him that lives for ever and ever.

REVELATION 7:11-12

7:11 And all the angels stood round about the Throne, and about the Elders and the four "beasts", and fell before the Throne on their faces, and worshipped GOD, [who usually speaks through His Angel, who personifies Him, in a singular embodiment],

7:12 Saying, "Amen— blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our GOD, for ever and ever— Amen".

REVELATION 19:4

19:4 And the four and twenty Elders and the four "beasts" fell down and worshipped GOD that sat on the throne, saying, "Amen; Alleluia [Hallelujah— Hallelu YAH— Hallowed be YAHWH, or His Angel YAHwh, who is authorized to use His name].

EXODUS 3:13-15

3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them?

3:14 And God said unto Moses, “I am what I am” [I’ll be whatever I want to be— or what I allow others to think I am]; and he said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, “I, Am, [I, "Am'n"; the God of your fathers— or "Om"; as the name has become in Hinduism, and other "Eastern" religions] has sent me unto you.” ["Om" is also seen in "omen"— a presumed "sign" or "revelation" from the God named "Om", or "Am'n"— whether it is "good news", or ominous (Am'n-ous) "bad news". For example— the Gospel of the establishment of the Kingdom of GOD is not "good news" for everyone!]

3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, the Lord [YAHwh], God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me unto you; this [YAHwh] is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

REVELATION 22:20-21

22:20 He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly.

[to which John adds] Amen— even so, come, Lord Jesus.

22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all— Amen.

"Amen" (mispronounced— A' MEN'), is not a "magic" word that causes the "activation" of a prayer. "Amen" is one of the names of the Word, or Angel of the LORD GOD, who is able to cause the "activation" and fulfillment of a prayer if GOD authorizes it.

But back to the issue of whether or not Jesus has been knocking on everyone's physical, or, perhaps "mental", door trying to get every person "saved" and destined for Heaven before he or she dies— the moment which supposedly ends all opportunity for a "death-bed repentance"— even if one dies a moment after one's own birth— or a moment before.

Have no concern about the future opportunities for salvation that will be given to any human who has been born reasonably close to a normal gestational development period— whether alive, or dead. According to James, the brother of Jesus, any human body—even a "living" new-born baby's body— is not considered to be a "living soul" until it begins taking in "the breath of life" which symbolizes receiving the GOD-given, individualized "spirit" which enables every body to exhibit a "unique" human personality.

JAMES 2:26

2:26 For as the body without the spirit is "dead"; so faith without works is "dead" also [even though it—the body, or the faith—may appear to be "alive"].

GENESIS 2:7

2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust [clay] of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Just as Adam and Eve were "raised up" with fully adult minds, after their unusual "births"—in like manner, any less-than-adult individual who has been born a first time, but who died before "adulthood", will be given a resurrection opportunity, with an "adult" mind, to be "born again".

JOHN 3:6-8

3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

3:7 Marvel not that I said unto you, All of you must be born again.

3:8 The wind blows where it decides, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell where it comes, and where it goes. So is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Individuals who have become adult—able to make "mature" decisions—and have truly begun on the path to salvation, but who "fall away", are in danger of failing to qualify for salvation during the "First Resurrection". That does not include someone who signed the back of a "salvation tract" because "it seemed like a good idea at the time", but forgets about it the next day.

MATTHEW 24:11-14

24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

24:14 And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the World for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the End come.

REVELATION 2:26

2:26 And he that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

It is those who have understood enough to make a knowledgeable "decision" who are the focus of the spiritual "door knocking" of the Lord—not those who are spiritually "cold", or unconverted, and still available for a face-to-face opportunity for salvation during their resurrection to a Final Judgment.

2 PETER 2:20-21

2:20 For if, after, they have escaped the pollutions of the World through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

HEBREWS 6:4-6

6:4 For it is "impossible" for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the Heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

6:5 And have tasted the good word of GOD, and the powers of the World to come,

6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of GOD afresh, and [figuratively] put him to an open shame.

But what men think is impossible, GOD doesn't. Which is why the Lord does not give up hope that some who are in danger of losing their potential salvation, will once again, "see the light".

LUKE 18:25

18:25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of GOD.

18:26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with GOD.

REVELATION 3:15-22 (continued)

3:15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.

3:16 So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.

3:17 Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

3:18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

3:19 As many as I love [which is definitely not everybody], I rebuke and chasten [if necessary]. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock. If any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

3:21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my Throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His Throne.

3:22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto [all] the churches.

WAS JESUS A "NOW OR NEVER"—"ETERNAL HELL-FIRE AND BRIMSTONE" PREACHER?

Most of those to whom Jesus preached didn't even believe in anything resembling the "Hell" described by what's left of the "eternal hell-fire and brimstone" traditionalists who continue to purvey their "old time religion"—which is a lot "younger" than they think. It isn't supported by the "New Testament", as has been, and will be presented, at length, on the Xrayzr Revelations website.

LUKE 20:27

20:27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection . . .

And "current", but not "modern" traditional "eternal hell-fire theology" wasn't, and isn't supported by the "Old Testament"—any of it. Few, if any of the "Sadducees" of Jesus' day—those who had their heads buried in the "Books of Moses", and elsewhere, didn't even believe in a "resurrection"—even though the various resurrections are clearly supported throughout the traditional scriptures, beginning with Adam's awakening after a symbolic "death", to a "new life" with Eve.

GENESIS 2:21-23

2:21 And the Lord God caused a deep [death-like] sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept. And he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

2:22 And from the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

In a sense, Eve's body arose—as a new version of Adam's "flesh and bones"—from his symbolically "dead" body.

In an earlier Presentation,If You Want to Know Good and Evil — Read This, I portrayed one of the primary ages-old World-wide indicators of GOD's Master Plan for the "salvation" of virtually all humans . . .

Adam and Eve “knew good” from the first day of their existence. That’s just about all that they had experienced during their short lives—probably a few months—from the beginning of a “Mediterranean” Spring, to the end of Summer, just before the Fall, when many trees take on the colors of burning flames preceding their apparent “death”, which continues through the “dead of Winter”, until they are “resurrected” to continuing life the following Spring, and they are given another chance to be fruitful.

GENESIS 4:25-26

4:25 And Adam had sex with his wife again [after they had generated many other sons and daughters who married, and had children who became the populations of the first "cities"]; and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, has appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord [Seth apparently began a restoration of faith toward the Creator, among the small, but expanding population centers].

GENESIS 5:3-5

5:3 And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth [as an adult, Seth looked just like Adam looked when he was created; as Adam had looked just like the Angel of the LORD—the Creator. in Genesis;, and the one who became YAHshua, of Nazareth.]:

5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begot sons and daughters:

5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

The birth of Seth, after the righteous shepherd Abel was killed by Cain, was intended to illustrate the future resurrection of another "good shepherd" who was slaughtered because of hatred without a cause.

JOHN 15:25

15:25 But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

The Sadducees missed the latter day resurrection doctrine—as have many "Jewish" theologians—but an "eternal hell-fire" doctrine wasn't there to be missed. Or if it's there, and everyone missed it, then they must all be sizzling in eternal hell-fire wondering what they did wrong in their life that caused GOD to allow that to happen to them—or what allowed GOD to cause that to happen to them.

Don't be concerned. No one has been sizzling in hell-fire since they died because they didn't "believe in Jesus". Not only is there no support for such an obscenely atrocious doctrine in the "Old" Messianic scriptures—one can't find it in the "not quite as old, Messianic/Christian scriptures—as I have, and will be proving again, and again, in Xrayzr Revelations.

JOHN 15:22-25

15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, [the relatively few individuals he spoke to who hated him] they would not have had sin [for not believing in him]. But now they [those few] have no cloak for their sin.

15:23 He that hates me, hates my Father also.

15:24 If I had not done among them the works [miracles] which no other man did, they would not have had sin [for not believing in him]. But now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

15:25 But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their Law, They hated me without a cause.

NO HUMANS ARE "AUTOMATICALLY" SENT TO AN ETERNITY IN HELL, AFTER DEATH

No "Jews" or "Gentiles" from any time or place in human history will "automatically" suffer "eternally"—or even during their brief, individualized, private "Last Judgment"—for not "believing in Jesus" during their one and only original life-time—although some are "in danger of eternal damnation" if they personally witnessed his miracles during his brief human ministry and hated him, and what they thought they heard him say.

That statement will be instantly rejected as "heresy" by those who apparently believe, and sometimes want to believe, that at least 99.99% of all humans who have lived on Earth throughout human history will be thrown into eternal hell-fire immediately after death because, "regrettably", they weren't handed a "magic tract" with a few scripture verses on it that would have "saved" them instantly if they had agreed with what the verses seem to say.

It's no secret that many denominational "Protestant" Christians believe that only their denomination's collection of "beliefs" is sufficient for "true salvation" and that most of the hundreds of millions of "probably false" Christians in other major and minor Christian denominations (such as Catholics, Pentecostals, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and many others) might as well be atheists, in regard to their chances of GOD allowing them to "go to Heaven" when they die.

Some Christians even look at others within their own local church with suspicion, wondering how many actually believe every single doctrine of "their" church as "perfectly" as they do. It is an attitude that was displayed by Jesus' cousins, James and John, the "Sons of Thunder" (Mark 3:17). Jesus told them what he thought of their "holier-than-thou, elitist" and counter-productive attitude, and what kind of "spirit" they were exhibiting.

LUKE 9:49-56

9:49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in your name; and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.

9:50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not [deliberately fighting]against us, is "for" us [in the sense of not hindering the spread of the Gospel].

9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up [after his resurrection], he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

9:52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem [They were being inhospitable to "Jews" because many religious "Jews" had historically rejected them as being "mongrels"—calling them "dogs"]..

9:54 And when his disciples [and first cousins] James and John saw this, they said, Lord, will you that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?

9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, You know not what manner of spirit you are of.

9:56 For the Son of Man is not come to destroy men's lives [with lightning strikes, or fire-storms], but to save them. And they went to another village.

PEOPLE DIDN'T FOLLOW JESUS JUST TO HEAR HIM SPEAK—IN FACT MOST PROBABLY COULDN'T HEAR HIM SPEAK

Few would have come to listen to Jesus' messages if he had not been able to perform healing miracles. It was the healing miracles that drew crowds to see his "performances"—not desire to hear him—if any of what he said could be heard farther than several yards away. The crowds followed him hoping that they, as individuals, might be healed.

The same "drawing" power is used and abused by many "evangelists" with big microphones who claim to have "miracle healing" power—"from Gaahduh!"—accompanied by a pitch for "support" in the form of "generous" tithes and offerings. Licensed physicians will probably cost less and have a slightly better outcome in expediting one's psychosomatic, or just plain "psycho" healing "needs"—even though they usually don't put on a very entertaining "show"—that's what you do for them.

Jesus wasn't concerned whether most people could hear him—or understand him, even if they did hear him. He often attempted to minimize people's awareness of who he was and what he might be able to do for them.

MATTHEW 16:20

16:20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

MARK 7:36-37

7:36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;

7:37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He has done all things well: he makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak [I shall refrain from joking].

LUKE 8:49-56

8:49 While he yet spoke, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

8:50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

8:51 And when he came into the house, he allowed no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

8:52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.

8:53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

8:54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.

8:55 And her spirit came again, and she arose immediately: and he commanded to give her food.

8:56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

MARK 9:9-10

Mar 9:9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.

Mar 9:10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

JESUS SPOKE IN PARABLES TO CONFUSE THE MAJORITY WHO WEREN'T READY FOR CONVERSION AND ITS RESPONSIBILITIES

MATTHEW 13:10-23

13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speak you unto them in parables?

13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but to them it is not given.

13:12 For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever has not, from him shall be taken away even that he has.

13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables; because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive:

13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

13:17 For truly I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.

13:18 Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.

13:19 When any one hears the word of the Kingdom, and understands it not, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the word, and soon with joy receives it;

13:21 Yet has he not root in himself, but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, by and by he is offended.

13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it; which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

MARK 4:8-13

4:8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred.

4:9 And he said unto them, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

4:10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of GOD: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

4:13 And he said unto them, Know you not this parable? and how then will you know all parables?

There is an important reason why Jesus didn't want to put most who saw and heard him in a position of having to make a decision to "believe in" him, "then-and-there". It is the reason GOD does not care how many, throughout human history, have heard an intelligible presentation of who He is, and who His Angel is, and was, and will become. And it's only reasonable—and true—that everyone should have an opportunity to hear something intelligible about GOD, and His Master Plan for humanity before anyone should be expected to "believe in it".

That reason was given above, and will be given again, and again, as one of the most important verses in the "New Testament" which "now-or-never, no second chance" John 3:16 sticklers apparently have never read.

If someone has not heard or seen YAHshua in person—they are not condemned for "disbelief". Even if someone did see YAHshua and witnessed his healing miracles—they are not already condemned if they weren't sure of what they were seeing. The closest disciples of YAHshua were still in that category after his resurrection.

Only those who heard YAHshua's personal warning messages, and saw him verify his GOD-given authority with healing miracles—yet hated him without a cause—are already condemned for disbelief. Yet, even they will probably get a "second chance". And it is not heresy to believe that GOD will give even the worst of blasphemers a "second", and "third", and any number of chances. It should be considered "heresy" to believe he will throw the vast majority of humans into hell-fire without a "first" chance.

MATTHEW 18:21-22

18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord; how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?

18:22 Jesus says unto him, I say not unto you, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.

JOHN 15:22-24

15:23 He that hates me, hates my Father also.

One time Jesus made a crowd wait for three days without attempting to provide food for them, so that only those who were truly interested in hearing him would remain—as opposed to those who were mostly trying to see a healing miracle—especially one performed on themselves, or a loved one.

MATTHEW 15:29-39

15:29 And Jesus departed from that place, and came near unto the Sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

15:30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb [unable to speak], physically disabled, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet [ouch!]; and he healed them:

15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak [not his disciples], the physically disabled to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way [sounds like the waiting rooms of most modern physicians].

15:33 And his disciples say unto him, From where should we obtain so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

15:34 And Jesus says unto them, How many loaves have you? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

15:37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken food that was left seven baskets full.

15:38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala [the former "home-town" of YAHshua's closest female friend, Mary].

WHY CHRISTIAN MINI-LEAFLETS FAIL TO REVEAL "THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE".

What can we learn from those tracts, or mini-leaflets that seem to make "the only way to salvation" so simple a child can understand it? We won't learn from such a tract that the pathway to understanding salvation is so difficult to find, that most humans will never find it during their one and only original life—even if they search for it in every Sunday School class in their home-town.

MATTHEW 7:11-14

7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in Heaven give good things to them that ask him?

7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets.

7:13 Enter you in at the strait [or narrow] gate [like the "eye" of a needle]: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it [find the spiritual "needle" in the "haystack" of "Churchianity"].

LUKE 13:22-30

13:22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.

13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

13:25 When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not, or where you are from [this has no reference to anyone in the World, or throughout human history, except those few who had a full opportunity to believe in the Lord while they saw him do miracles no human could do, and heard him warn them of the consequences of hating him and rejecting him]:

13:26 Then shall you begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.

13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not, or where you are from. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.

13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of GOD, and you yourselves thrust out.

13:29 And they shall come from the East, and from the West, and from the North, and from the South [the innumerable multitude of End-Time believers from all nations and languages around the World], and shall sit down [on Thrones] in the Kingdom of GOD.

13:30 And, behold, there are [those who will have the] last [chance to become faithful believers] which shall be first [to qualify for the Kingdom, or Government of GOD], and there are those [who had the] first [chance to qualify for the Government of the Messiah] which shall be last [to see it in action].

REVELATION 5:9-10

5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; for you were slain, and have redeemed us to GOD by your blood, out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

5:10 And have made us unto our GOD kings and priests; and we shall reign on the Earth.

ROMANS 11:25-29

11:25 For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.

11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob [Israel].

11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

11:28 As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes; but as concerning the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

11:29 For the gifts and calling of GOD are without repentance [will not be changed].

And GOD plans far more than saving "all Israel", except for a "handful" that have already had a reasonable opportunity to see and hear the Final Judge of all humans.

1 TIMOTHY 2:3-6

2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of GOD our Savior;

2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

2:5 For there is one GOD, and one mediator between GOD and men, the man Christ Jesus;

2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Why is it so "impossible" for some incorrigible (uncorrectable) "theologians"—and other "Sunday School teachers"—to believe that GOD will eventually ensure that all humans become saved when they've been given full knowledge of the truth about Salvation, and how it can be received. Such "incorrigibles" seem to take fiendish "delight" in concocting depictions of horrible eternal "punishments" for everyone but themselves—and punishments even for those "heretics" who don't believe in "eternal retribution" exactly as they describe it.

THE LORD, JESUS HAS A GOAL OF SAVING AS MANY HUMANS AS POSSIBLE, EVEN THOSE WHO HAVE HATED HIM WITHOUT A CAUSE

MARK 3:28-29

3:28 Truly I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith whatsoever they shall blaspheme:

3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation [if such blasphemy, or attribution of the goals of GOD to Satan is not repented of].

Notice that the final decision regarding eternal damnation, or annihilation of one's spirit, has not been made even for those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, or Mind of GOD the Father, who intends to save all men. Many who hated what they thought they heard Jesus saying, were honestly attempting to protect those who might have been led astray by false prophets claiming to speak for GOD. Jesus own "kin" ("blood relatives"), thought he was "crazy" and needed to be "put away".

MARK 3:21-30

3:21 And when his "friends" [next of kin] heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

3:22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and by the Prince of the devils casts he out devils.

3:23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? [he did not say that Satan, or any other devil, could not enter and then leave a person voluntarily, such as Judas—while allowing a "false teacher" to pretend to "cast him out", with the intent of giving his false teaching the appearance of being from GOD].

3:24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

3:25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

3:26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but has an end [eventually].

3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

3:28 Truly I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith whatsoever they shall blaspheme.

3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness [without repentance], but is in danger of eternal damnation [not irreversibly damned. YAHshua had just stated that "all sins" of blaspheme, of whatsoever form, could be forgiven, or overlooked—with the exception that anyone who deliberately and maliciously implies that the Father's Holy Spirit is "Satanic" will require extraordinary, individualized forgiveness by the Father].

3:30 Because they said, He has an unclean spirit.

YAHshua, of Nazareth attended the local synagogue services, and the equivalent of "Sunday School" almost every seventh-day Sabbath from the time Joseph and Mary returned to Nazareth, after living in Egypt for about eight years, until he established his own home in Capernaum throughout his twenties. Yet the chief members of the synagogue in Nazareth were completely unable to recognize "the Way" leading them to future salvation, even though "the Way" was personified before their eyes, in the form of YAHshua.

And even more astonishing, even after hearing and witnessing most of what YAHshua said and did throughout his ministry—his own disciples always seemed suspicious of who he "really" might have been.

JOHN 14:1-7

14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in GOD, believe also in me.

14:2 In my Father's House are many "mansions" [offices of authority]: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you [an office of authority in the Millennial Kingdom of GOD—not a luxurious eternal retirement home "just over the hill-top" in Heaven].

14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am [as Messiah and King of the World], there you may be also [that will be, primarily, the surface of our Earth].

14:4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.

14:5 Thomas says unto him, Lord, we know not where you go; and how can we know the way?

14:6 Jesus says unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me [and has no sin of "disbelief" unless he sees the Son of Man and rejects him face-to-face].

14:7 If you had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth you know him, and have seen him.

DOUBTING JESUS

According to Jesus, even his closest disciples did not know him, or understand him, after hearing him teach them for over two years, and seeing him perform innumerable miracles of every category. Yet he gave them "the benefit of the doubt" he had that they would ever be truly converted. Jesus said plainly that Peter wasn't converted, nor any of the others, until after Jesus' resurrection, when the Father's Holy Spirit was fully merged with their spirits in the process called "begettal".

LUKE 22:31-32

22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.

22:32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not. And when you are converted, strengthen your brethren.

In need of even more "benefit of the doubt" were those who thought they were protecting their synagogue from a false teacher—by trying to throw YAHshua off a cliff. Have they lost all hope of being saved during their future Last Judgment by YAHshua who will be the future, final judge of all resurrected humans who have lived since Adam and Eve began to record history?

Of course not! We shall see what you will probably never see on a tract, because those who "write" tracts have probably never read, or heard of, the scripture verses that clearly state that salvation is not a "now or never" proposition.

In fact, only a relative "handful", or Temple "room-full" of individuals who saw YAHshua perform miracles that no other man could do, and speak about himself, as no other man should do, will be "in danger of eternal damnation". And even they are not necessarily doomed to spirit annihilation without hope of salvation—unless they reject YAHshua, face-to-face, again, with hatred, during their final judgment, as they did the first time. Repeating, once again—

JOHN 15:22-24

15:23 He that hates me, hates my Father also.

All human history should have provided, and should be providing a World full of evidence proving that GOD has always been completely unconcerned about ensuring that everyone in the World becomes aware of the supposed unalterable consequences of not "believing in His only begotten Son" at some point in one's physical life-time. GOD reveals that it is His will that all be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth—about the requirements for salvation.

GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF GLOBAL RELIGIOUS CONFUSION AND IGNORANCE

Some "think" that GOD has managed to reach a minority of the World's population only with a morass of confusing and conflicting theological approaches to the "one way only" unalterable requirement for salvation He supposedly has been enforcing throughout human history—that requirement being "belief in His only begotten Son".

But the Angel of the LORD did not become "the only (supernaturally) begotten (physical) Son" of GOD until 4,000 years of human history had passed—including the "passing", or death of billions of humans who could not have believed in an "only begotten Son" of GOD—because there wasn't one to believe in!

Yet many preach that they had to "somehow" know that they had to believe in him because it has been "decreed by someone" that there can be no "second chance" to believe after one's death. If only those billions had stumbled over a "salvation tract" left on their doorstep that told them "the good news-gospel" that they had better believe in him now—or else!

Perhaps hundreds of millions of Christians have been literally born into their religious belief system, and continue to believe whatever they were told to believe, as toddlers, about the "Christmas stories"—including the one about Santa Claus. And part of the required dogma often includes an "understanding" that there can be no "second chance" to "believe in Jesus" after one's death. Thus, they have no "logical" choice but to believe that uncountable billions of humans will never be saved, because of simple ignorance about a belief that GOD alone supposedly requires, but doesn't bother to make known to most humans.

But the worst part of that grim "fairy tale" is that the "GOD" who hasn't bothered to teach the majority of humans a "thing or two" about his required belief, does find the time to teach billions a "thing or two" about ignoring something they never knew existed—the moment after they die. And they are "taught" about their uninformed "rejection" of the requirement as they are being thrown into sulfurous, ever-burning hell-fire because they died before someone could slip them a "gospel tract" that could have given them automated "fire insurance" and a "get out of Hell free" card, or leaflet, which they could have activated simply by signing their names on the back of the "contract"—or "con" tract.

If any of that simplistic "sulfurous theology" was true, it would make a mockery of one of the most misleading claims one might find on a "salvation tract". It might contain the scripture John 3:16 and imply that GOD loves you "soooo much" that He required His "only begotten Son" to be slaughtered in an excruciating manner so that He might not have to require you, and billions of others, to endure endless eternity in excruciating burning hell-fire, which is the only way He can think of to teach you how much He hates your disbelief in something you never heard of—or in something so distorted, you shouldn't have heard it.

JESUS DID NOT BELIEVE IT WAS NECESSARY THAT HE "DIE FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD"

MATTHEW 26:37-39

26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee [James and John], and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

26:38 Then says he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry you here, and watch with me.

26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this "cup" [a euphemism for the long, agonizing death he would have to endure—as if it was death from a cup of poison] pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as you will.

MARK 14:34-36

14:34 And says unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry you here, and watch.

14:35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto you. Take away this "cup" from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what you will.

LUKE 22:41-44

22:41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

22:42 Saying, Father, if you be willing, remove this "cup" from me: nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done.

22:43 And there appeared an angel [Michael] unto him from Heaven, strengthening him.

22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

In the Presentation Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled you can read a full explanation of why YAHshua did not think his crucifixion was necessary for the salvation of anyone—and how he attempted to convince his Father in Heaven to stop the progression of horror he was about to endure.

You will also see why GOD knew His Angel, who had become His "only Spirit begotten physical Son"—but wasn't before his supernatural conception—could not have properly fulfilled his future position as the Final Judge of all humans unless he understood the full intensity of the final punishment he may have to administer to some who reject his final offer of salvation—face-to-face during a short period of judgment, and opportunity to repent—if necessary.

HEBREWS 5:5-9

5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a High Priest; but He [GOD] that said unto him, You are my Son, Today have I begotten you.[YAHshua was not the "only begotten Son" before that "day".]

This is a revelation of what GOD, the Unlimited said to His Angel, at the "moment of conception", or "begettal" of the physical, mortal body that the Angel of the LORD would have to live in, and die in, after its birth. The "spirit", or personality of the Angel of the LORD was not reduced to a human level until his body was born. There was no reason to do it sooner—just as the individualized "spirit" created for each of us, to match the projected appearance type of the human body each of us will have, is not "given" and activated until after breathing commences after birth.

5:6 As He [GOD] says also in another place, You are a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

5:7 Who in the days of his flesh [as YAHshua], when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

5:9 And being made perfect [in being faithful and obedient to GOD until death], he became the author [agent of the beginning] of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

GOD PROBABLY DOESN'T LOVE YOU—AND MAY BARELY KNOW YOU EXIST!

One of the first concepts one needs to understand in order to understand almost anything else in "the Bible", is that GOD does not love you with instinctive emotion that compels Him to do anything—to you, or for you. GOD has designed all emotional response "mechanisms" and is not controlled by any of them.

His Angel, however, is controlled by many instinctive emotions, very similar, and often more powerful than our own—without the unneeded spectrum of "fear" emotions while he is personifying GOD. But those became a very necessary part of his final night on Earth as a mortal human—and he could barely tolerate them—partly because he was completely unfamiliar with them. The whole realm of the reason for emotions in any, and every specie, will be explored, in depth, in future publications.

GOD "loves" you in the same way most humans "love", or should "love" all humans in the World—not with emotional love, but with "no malice aforethought"—no pre-determination to destroy them through warfare, or throw them in Hell forever for not believing something they never heard of.

Sadly, countless millions of "Church-going" Christians, who "believe in Jesus as their personal Savior"—because they've never heard anything about any other "religion"; and very little about their "own" religion—have no problem whatsoever, believing that "their God" is planning to throw billions of other humans into Hell forever for not believing something none of them ever heard of! And if you seriously question them about the validity of that heinous "dogma", they might label you as a despicable heretic and hope "their God" will send you to Hell as soon as possible—to prove they were right!

GOD does not love any human with the uncontrollable, and somewhat desperate emotion some call "infatuation"—a designed, and very instructive emotion. Though the natural hormonal chemistry of "infatuation" can last long enough for some to go as far as marrying their new-found "soul mate"—the reality of life eventually returns a person's hormonal euphoria to normal.

The chemistry of producing such "euphoria" is so well "understood", in a laboratory sense, that drugs have been designed—mostly, illegal drugs—to stimulate one's body chemistry to produce a simulated sense of euphoric "love" and sense of inappropriate intimacy among those who are accepting of that self-destructive behavior. One of the drugs of this type is known as "ecstasy"—but the negative side effects—or the "down side" effects of the temporary euphoric state are a danger to one's health and reputation.

GOD would be incapable of judging any humans, if He loved any humans with the virtually "unconditional love" that most mothers (of every specie) instinctively lavish ("slavishly") on their obnoxious and demanding broods. I'm only slightly "kidding" about "kids" that are obnoxious and demanding. The attitudes that most young brats—I mean children—exhibit, are part of the persona of immaturity that all of us are expected to outgrow after "babyhood"—not without effort—but by learning continual self-control.

Unfortunately, too many parents are able to dismiss complaints about the earsplitting "ape-like" screaming of their young children by justifying it with the old lame excuse—"kids will be kids". But if such "kids" are never told by adults to "quiet down", they can "grow-up" to be the @#%&*'s that enjoy blaring their "music" as loud as possible outside, or roaring around aimlessly with deafening, unmuffled motorcycles, or "hot-rods", eliciting curses from everyone within "earshot".

GOD is not controlled by any of the infinite number of instincts He has designed and created to be appropriate behavioral responses in any specie's individual life. If GOD hadn't created the "mothering instincts" of all creatures that need them—few offspring would survive. In many cases, the mother would just literally eat them—rather than provide for their needs. And many male "mammals", and non-mammalian species, without "mothering" instincts, do actually kill and eat some of the progeny they may have engendered. It's called "infanticide".

The Bible says that humans have to make themselves "worthy" of GOD's voluntary, self-generated emotional love by being well-behaved and self-disciplined. But since few can do that with any consistency, GOD has provided an incentive program that encourages humans to love Him, and His Angel, who personifies Him in the form of a singular personality.

"EASY BELIEVISM" WITHOUT "GOOD WORKS" IS "GOOD FOR NOTHING"

The incentive program designed by GOD to encourage a believer to be well-behaved and self-disciplined, is a promise of rewards for "good works" One makes oneself "worthy" of the love of GOD by attempting to be obedient to the simple commandments of GOD—not ridiculous religious rituals—but the basic, fundamental "laws of love" that prove one's own love of GOD.

MATTHEW 19:16-21

19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

19:17 And he said unto him, Why call you me good? There is none good but one, that is, GOD. But if you will enter into [eternal] life, keep the commandments.

19:18 He says unto him, Which? Jesus said, You shall do no murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness.

19:19 Honor your father and your mother. And, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

19:20 The young man says unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up. What lack I yet?

19:21 Jesus said unto him, If you will be "perfect", go and sell that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in Heaven; and come and follow me [that was a serious, personal, offer that only a "room-full" of humans have ever heard directly from YAHshua.].

JOHN 15:9-10

15:9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Continue you in my love.

15:10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love.

JAMES 1:26-27

1:26 If any man among you seems to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before GOD the Father is this, To "visit" the fatherless and widows in their affliction [not necessarily visit them literally, but let them know you can offer them help], and to keep himself "unspotted" from the World [by living a "clean" life].

JAMES 2:14-20

2:14 What does it profit, my brethren, though a man say he has faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?

2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be you warmed and filled; notwithstanding you give them not those things which are necessary to the body; what does it profit?

2:17 Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone.

2:18 Yes; a man may say that he has faith; and I only have works. Show me your "faith" without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

2:19 You believe that there is one GOD. You do well. The devils also believe, and tremble.

2:20 But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD!

Millions of "fundamentalist" Christian believers have been taught to reject the concept that "works", or "efforts" to be "profitable servants" is a necessary component of the faith or "belief" in GOD, and Christ that will lead to true "salvation"—the saving of one's spirit for eternal life after one's physical life ends. Some have been so indoctrinated in hatred toward the term "works" that their hair bursts into flames if some "heretic" doesn't agree with them. Well get out your fire extinguishers if you are one of them.

The following scriptures—and I—won't be referring to time-wasting, non-sensical, religious rituals added to "simple" logical theology. Those are referred to as "dead (useless) works". But some have gotten their religious façade so turned inside out with their vindictiveness toward all "works" that they consider the informal observance of a seventh-day of the week Sabbath rest as a "work" that will cause GOD to question the validity of one's dedication to "belief only".

MATTHEW 5:16

5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.

MATTHEW 16:27

16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

ROMANS 13:3

13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same.

EPHESIANS 2:10

2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which GOD has before ordained that we should walk in them.

1 TIMOTHY 6:17-19

6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living GOD, who gives us richly all things to enjoy;

6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

6:19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17

3:16 All scripture [that] is given by inspiration of GOD, is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

3:17 That the man of GOD may be perfect; thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

TITUS 1:16

1:16 They profess that they know GOD; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate [opposite of good].

TITUS 2:1-15

2:1 But speak you the things which become sound doctrine:

2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience.

2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of GOD be not blasphemed.

2:6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

2:7 In all things showing yourself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing incorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

2:8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

2:9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again [talking back with rude "back-talk"];

2:10 Not embezzling, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of GOD our Savior in all things.

2:11 For the grace of GOD that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great GOD, and our Savior Jesus Christ;

2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself an exclusive people, zealous of good works.

2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise you.

TITUS 3:8

3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that you affirm constantly, that they which have believed in GOD might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

TITUS 3:14

3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

HEBREWS 10:24

10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.

REVELATION 2:2

2:2 I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you can not bear them which are evil: and you have tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars:

REVELATION 2:19

2:19 I know your works, and love, and service, and faith, and your patience, and your works; and the last to be more than the first.

REVELATION 2:26

2:26 And he that overcomes, and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.

YES, THERE ARE HUMANS WHO ARE RIGHTEOUS—AND YOU CAN BE ONE OF THEM

A favorite "tract" scripture that is supposed to make a potential "convert" admit that he is an "evil sinner"—even though he isn't—is Romans 3:10.

ROMANS 3:10-18

3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

3:11 There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after GOD.

3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become useless; there is none that does good, no, not one.

3:13 Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:

3:18 There is no fear of GOD before their eyes.

It is based on what is written in Psalms 14 and 53 by King David, who often had a very dejected and foul attitude toward God and everyone else during his progressively degenerative final years.

PSALMS 14:1-3

14:1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no GOD. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.

14:2 The Lord looked down from Heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek GOD.

14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one [did David include himself? He should have.].

But a judgment that may have been applicable to some "focus group" at one point in human history, may not be applicable to everyone in the rest of human history.

1 JOHN 3:7

3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you—he that does righteousness is righteous; even as [to the degree] he is righteous.

BEGETTAL, OR CONCEPTION IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING BORN

It is very important when reading the King James Version of the apostle John's works, to understand that the Greek term "gennao"—which can be translated as "beget" or "conceive", has also been translated very inconsistently as "born"—which has resulted in confusion and misunderstanding of important symbolism that makes perfect sense when compared to its physical parallel in the reproductive processes of human beings.

In later publications there will be a full, amazing explanation, or expose' of how all major Messianic/Christian doctrines are symbolized and clarified by parallels found in the complex interdependence of the many components of the human body often called "private parts"—not only those associated with reproductive processes, but other vital processes centered in the centers of male and female human bodies.

1 JOHN 3:8-11

3:8 He that commits sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sins from the Beginning. For this purpose the Son of GOD was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil.

3:9 Whosoever is begotten of GOD does not commit sin [habitually]; for His [GOD's Holy Spirit] "seed" remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of GOD.

3:10 In this [way] the [begotten, but not yet born again] children of GOD are manifest, and the "children" of the Devil. Whosoever does not righteousness is not of GOD; neither he that loves not his brother.

3:11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

1 JOHN 3:22-24

3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

3:23 And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

3:24 And he that keeps His commandments dwells in Him, and He in him. And hereby we know that He abides in us, by the [Holy] Spirit which He has given us [creating the status of being Spirit begotten, by GOD the Father].

THE ONLY HUMAN WHO HAS EVER BEEN "BORN AGAIN" IS JESUS—BUT ALL MUST BE "BORN AGAIN" BY TRANSFORMATION INTO SPIRIT EMBODIMENT

JOHN 3:3-8

3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see [participate in] the Kingdom of GOD.

3:4 Nicodemus says unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

3:5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Except a man be born of "water" [amniotic fluid] and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom [or Government] of GOD.

3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

3:7 Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again.

3:8 The wind blows where it decides, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell whence it comes, and where it goes. So is every one that is born of the Spirit.

The following text in this section is from: Are you prepared for the "Second Coming" — of Elijah?

If you believe you have already been "born again", please demonstrate your ability to be an invisible force like the wind, suddenly appearing in flesh and bone form "from out of nowhere" to teach those who need it.

LUKE 24:36-47

24:36 And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and said unto them, Peace be unto you.

24:37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed that they had seen a [devil] spirit.

24:38 And he said unto them, Why are you troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts [minds]?

24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me, and see; for a [devil] spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have.

24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.

24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have you here any food?

24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb.

24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.

24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it was essential for Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day;

24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

ISAIAH 30:20-21

30:20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner [of a classroom] any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers [after they appear "from nowhere"]:

30:21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.

The "spiritual Body" of Christ—the only true Church of GOD maintained within the Holy Spirit, or hallowed, "halo'd" central "Mind" of GOD, (the Church whose members GOD only knows), will all be "born again" at the same time (at the second-coming of Christ, the Messiah) and fully joined to the "Head", YAHshua, who was the "first-born of many brethren " (the first to be "born again" into a Spirit embodiment). That is symbolized by the fact that in virtually all human births, the head is born first—usually amid the mother's excruciating pain, and "blood, sweat, and tears"—then the body is "eased" out, "in the twinkling of an eye."

COLOSSIANS 1:12-18

1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us suitable to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

1:13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son;

1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins;

1:15 Who is the image of the invisible GOD; the Firstborn of every creature.

1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are on Earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by him, and for him:

1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

1:18 And he is the Head of the Body, the Church; who is the Beginning; the Firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence.

HEBREWS 12:22-25

12:22 But you are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the City of the living GOD, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

12:23 To the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in Heaven [in the Lamb's Book of Life], and to GOD, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just[ified] men [and women] made perfect [the spirits of all saints who die are perfected by GOD to enable all future manifestations of their glorified personas or personalities],

12:24 And to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel [his sacrificing of lambs].

12:25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on Earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from Heaven:

The "Body" of Christ on Earth, and in Heaven, is very much attached to the Head, wherever he might choose to be—or wherever he is assigned to be by GOD, the Father. Any humans who have become "written in the Lamb's Book of Life—in Heaven", beginning with Adam and Eve at the "foundation" or founding of our human World, and including any added throughout human history, and those who will become part of that Most Holy Book; are known only to GOD and His Angel.

Those who have fully died in an Earthly sense are not considered "dead" by GOD, and their "spirits" or "minds" are literally "sleeping" in GOD's Spirit and are not usually aware of anything unless "awakened" in GOD's Spirit for periods of communication and training for the responsibilities they will be awarded when they are finally given uninterrupted continuous consciousness and authority to utilize glorified levels of embodiment beginning at the "First Resurrection".

NONE OF THOSE WHO BELIEVED IN THE MESSIAH, OR IN JESUS AS THE CHRIST, AND DIED BEFORE HE DID, OR AFTER, "WENT TO HEAVEN"—WHERE DID THEY GO?

JOHN 3:13-14

3:13 And no man has ascended [bodily] up to Heaven, but he that came down from Heaven. (even the Son of Man which is in Heaven) [added by John long after "Christianity" had begun]

3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. [YAHshua attempted to persuade GOD to change that, the night before it happened]

MATTHEW 21:17-21

21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.

21:18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

21:19 And when he saw a [huge. multi-trunked] fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

21:20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

The fig leaves that were covering that huge, strategically placed, multi-trunked fig tree, which had been grown to symbolize Israel, "withered" and fell away exposing the bareness and barrenness of "Israel" just as the fig leaf "works of Adam and Eve's hands" withered and fell away as they tried to cover their embarrassing shortfalls.

Adam and Eve then witnessed their Creator sacrifice a lamb and use its "hide" to cover their increasingly uncomfortable nakedness as he forgave them for temporarily having another "god" before him. The fig tree symbolizing Israel's spiritual barrenness became exposed but was soon covered by the "blood of the Lamb" during Jesus' crucifixion on Passover in 30 A.D. And he forgave "Israel" because of their ignorance, just as he had forgiven Adam and Eve, as their God, because of their ignorance.

21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Truly I say unto you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree [who would want to?], but also, if you shall [along with Christ at his return] say unto this mountain [the Mount of Olives], Be you removed, and be you cast into the Sea [the Dead Sea]; it shall be done.

MARK 11:1

11:1 And when they came near to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage [Beth Fig] and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent forth two of his disciples,

ZECHARIAH 14:4

14:4 And his feet shall stand in that Day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the East, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the East and toward the West, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the North, and half of it toward the South.

ACTS 13:29-30

13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the [fig] tree [on which the yoke-like cross-piece had been bound—to which his wrists were nailed], and laid him in a tomb.

13:30 But GOD raised him from the dead.

JOHN 3:15-21

3:15 That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

3:16 For GOD so loved the World, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

3:17 For GOD sent not His Son into the World to condemn the World [in which he walked and talked]; but that the World [not just Protestants, or Catholics] through him might be saved.

3:18 He that believes on him is not condemned; but he that believes not is [conditionally] "condemned" already [until he does believe] , because he has not [yet] believed in the name [authority] of the only begotten Son of GOD.

3:19 And this is the [reason for the conditional] condemnation, that light has come into the World, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil [obviously this was a reference to the "room-full" of evil opponents of YAHshua as a teacher—not every human that has ever been born on Earth].

3:20 For every one that does evil hates the light [but not necessarily the "spot-lights"], neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

3:21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in GOD.

In light of the "confession" mentioned above, that Jesus did not believe that his crucifixion execution was necessary for anyone's "salvation", and sought his own physical salvation by attempting to convince his Father to stop the proceedings—it should not seem strange, or "heretical" to "interpret" the famous John 3:16 verse in a far more reasonable, and acceptable manner—as is confirmed by John 3:17.

GOD did not "give" His "only begotten Son" to those prepared to slaughter him. He "gave", or "sent" His only begotten Son to the World He loves—not necessarily to those who live on it—so that eventually He can fulfill His desire to bring all humans to an understanding of the Truth that will enable all to qualify for salvation.

1 TIMOTHY 2-3-6

2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of GOD our Savior;

2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

2:5 For there is one GOD, and one mediator between GOD and men, the man Christ Jesus;

2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

WHAT IS TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS?

Don't be concerned if this section sounds completely confusing to you. Much of what Paul attempted to say was as theologically "deep" as he was. And Peter warned converts not to "go off the deep end" diving-board with untrustworthy "Bible teachers" that should have been made to "walk the plank" because of their misapplications of Paul's 'hard to be understood" scriptures—such as rejection of all "works" as a necessary component of qualification for salvation.

2 PETER 3:13-18

3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new Earth, wherein dwells righteousness.

3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;

3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable, twist, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

3:17 You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.

3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

ROMANS 3:19-28

3:19 Now we know that what things whatsoever the Law [of Moses] says, it says to them who are under the Law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the World may become "guilty" [unworthy of receiving the gift of eternal life] before GOD.

3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the [ritualistic] Law [of Moses] there shall no flesh be justified [deemed worthy of eternal life] in His sight; for by the Law is the knowledge of sin [the continual requirements of purification and sacrifices kept a focus on sin—not the "sin" of improper ritual protocol, but the sin of breaking the Ten Commandments that made the ritualism "necessary".]

3:21 But now the righteousness of GOD [the "righteousness" accepted by GOD] without the [ritualistic] Law is manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets;

3:22 Even the righteousness of GOD [the "righteousness" accepted by GOD] which is by faith of Jesus Christ [given] unto all, and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference;

3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD [extremely "short", obviously];

3:24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

3:25 Whom GOD has set forth to be a propitiation [means of reconciliation] through faith in his blood [in his suffering of a substitutionary death penalty], to declare his [YAHshua's] righteousness [to be applied to a believer] for the remission [forgiveness] of sins that are past, through the forbearance of GOD;

3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his [YAHshua's] righteousness: that he [YAHshua] might be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus.

3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what Law [can one justify himself]? Of [or by religious] works? No; but by the law of faith [in YAHshua's substitutionary payment of each person's potential exposure to eternal death if any person does not repent of "do-it-yourself righteousness" when given a face-to-face opportunity by YAHshua.

3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified [cleared of blame and need of punishment] by faith in Jesus [who acted as a substitute by suffering an actual death penalty usually reserved for extreme sinners, in the same way animals were sometimes used as a substitute which could suffer a death "penalty" sometimes deserved by human sinners] without the [continuing requirement of ritualistic]deeds of the Law.

Throughout the ancient, historical generations of Israel, animals have sometimes been "sacrificially executed", though innocent, as a substitute for any humans who might have deserved a death penalty for their worst crimes; which often involved idolatrous worship of devil gods—even during the Exodus. In like manner, YAHshua was "sacrificially executed", though innocent, as a substitute for any who might have deserved a death penalty for sins—especially rejection of the will of GOD. Of course most humans don't deserve a permanent death penalty for sins unless they hatefully reject the "sacrifice" of YAHshua and insist that their own "righteousness" should obligate GOD to give them eternal life.

The many biblical laws of purification, separation, and sacrifices found within the "Law of Moses" were only intended to be temporary and were primarily designed to be burdensome punishments for disobedience to useful and beneficial laws such as the Ten Commandments. Many ritualistic religious laws in the "Law of Moses" never had any real value and have been "set aside".

1 JOHN 3:4

3:4 Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law; for sin is the transgression of the law.

"Sin" may be defined as transgression of a law—and if there is no specific law prohibiting a behavior, there should be no "sin" charged in regard to engaging in that behavior. But it would be illogical to eliminate all written ethical and moral laws as a means of eliminating "sin". GOD's ethical and moral laws are always in effect no matter how many of them are "officialized" by humans printing them on paper.

ROMANS 5:12-13

5:12 Wherefore, as by one man [Adam] sin entered into the [human] World, and [potential reason to enforce permanent "capital punishment", or eternal] death because of sin; and so [the potential for the enforcement of a permanent] death [penalty] passed upon all men [but not an automatic, unalterable, eternal death penalty simply for being born], for all have sinned [and a few have deserved an eternal, or permanent death penalty even though there may have been no official written "capital crimes"]:

5:13 For until the Law [of Moses] sin was in the World: but sin is not imputed when there is no law [thus it can be inferred that in every society, GOD always expects humans to obey the basic moral laws finally codified in the Law of Moses, even if they are unwritten].

Abraham did not have to wait for the Law of Moses to understand what GOD expected from him in regard to morality and ethical behavior—although he made his share of questionable judgments as to what GOD wanted him to do.

GENESIS 26:5

26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

Of course, a "lawless" society—one with few written, or codified laws—will not be a "sinless" society. If societies lack laws to "break", it does not mean there shouldn't be laws in a society. And the more "sinful", or immoral, and unethical a society becomes, the more important it becomes for "wise men" to create simple, enforceable behavioral guidelines that even the dumbest of "scoff-laws" can understand and respect—but they must produce a useful result.

The problem with too many "laws" is that often they are completely unnecessary and worthless—especially ritualistic religious rigmarole that exists primarily to entertain those who enjoy enforcing it. Many, and probably most laws that humans print on paper are of no concern to GOD in regard to His charging anyone with "sin". Countless religious laws exist only in the minds of self-righteous religionists who love to concoct new religious "laws" for others to obey.

MATTHEW 23:1-10

23:1 Then spoke Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

23:2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe [from the Law of Moses], that observe and do; but do not you after their [hypocritical, worthless] "works"; for they say, and do not.

23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

23:5 But all their works they do in order to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries [small boxes containing scripture verse tracts, tied to the arms as a reminder of their existence—not to be confused with prophylactics], and enlarge the borders of their garments,

23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

23:8 But be not you called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all you are brethren.

23:9 And call no man your "Father" [as a religious title] upon the Earth: for one is your [Spiritual] Father, which is in Heaven.

23:10 Neither be you called masters [or Mister/Mr.—stay on a "first name" basis]: for one is your Master, even Christ.

No one has ever lived a perfectly "sinless" life; and even if someone did, they would not automatically qualify for GOD's gift of eternal life. GOD is not obligated to give anyone eternal life—even those who have signed their names on the back of a "salvation tract". And likewise, no one automatically "qualifies" for eternal death simply by being born and having one's name put on a birth certificate. And even a life of sin doesn't permanently, and unalterably, disqualify a person for consideration for GOD's gift of eternal life.

MARK 3:28-29

3:28 Truly I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies with whatsoever they shall blaspheme.

3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness [if he never repents], but is in danger of eternal damnation [permanent annihilation—though he can avoid it by repenting during his final judgment].

All laws in the Bible that are of any general use in controlling society can be summarized in the following manner"

MATTHEW 22:34-40

22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him, and saying,

22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the Law?

22:37 Jesus said unto him, You shall love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

22:38 This is the first and great commandment.

22:39 And the second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

22:40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.

It is refusal to constrain one' behavior to conform to those two primary guidelines that is the true "sin" that might require punishment specifically administered by GOD—though GOD has chosen not to spend time in this World "micro-managing" the misbehavior—or even the abominable atrocities committed before the "end-point" He has chosen to put an end to it.

DANIEL 9:24

9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your Holy City, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins [put an "end" to freedom to "sin"], and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy [the Messiah/Christ].

"EASY BELIEVISM" AND "MINI-LEAFLETS" WON'T PROTECT YOU DURING THE END-TIME

Before GOD "makes an end of sins", Satan, and all of his alienated angels, will be given a period of forty-two "long" months to demonstrate to the World the consequences of "Sin Gone Wild". It will be a period in which evil laws will be abundant, but good laws will be ignored. Not only will the Ten Commandments be rejected and ridiculed—laws that stabilize society will be set aside.

If a major symbolic, yet overwhelming solar event occurs that "flips the electrical switch" on our modern World, and a new "Dark Age" enshrouds the Globe, it will be deceptively easy for the Anti-Christ to claim that he has power to "move heaven and Earth".

DANIEL 7:24-25

7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

7:25 And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws: [change World-recognized calendars, and the age-old pattern for the progression of the seven day week which allows proper observance of weekly and annual Sabbaths] and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time [three and a half years].

But it will be GOD who has done it to create the appropriate "atmosphere" for the time-limited, yet "unlimited" rule of Satan, and his alienated angels.

DANIEL 2:20-22

2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of GOD for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are His:

2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons: He removes kings, and sets up kings [if He chooses to do it]: He gives wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

2:22 He reveals the deep and secret things: He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him.

The following is prophesied to occur at the very end of the End-Time—but GOD is famous for creating historic prototypes of prophetic archetypes.

ISAIAH 13:9-13

13:9 Behold, the Day of the Lord comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the Sun shall be darkened in "his" going forth, and the Moon shall not cause "her" light to shine.

13:11 And I will punish the World for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

13:12 I will make a man more "precious" [scarce] than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir [there will be more gold piled up than men to buy and sell it in that ancient seaport].

13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the Earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of Hosts, and in the Day of his fierce anger.

In addition, authority to marry will be forbidden to some degree during the End-Time, in an attempt to destroy the child-protective aspect of marriage which enables stable family structures.

1 TIMOTHY 4:1-5

4:1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats [foods], which GOD has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

4:4 For "every creature" of GOD is good [or creation normally eaten as food], and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

4:5 For it is "sanctified" [made acceptable, or, in an informal sense, "kosher"] by the word of GOD and prayer.

ROMANS 10:9

10:9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that GOD has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

ROMANS 10:13

10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Do not assume that statements such as these imply that one will be permanently and unalterably "saved" the moment one "calls upon the name of the Lord", or "confesses with the mouth the Lord Jesus"—which could mean almost anything.

MATTHEW 7:21-23

7:21 Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in Heaven.

7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?

7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

JOHN 9:22

9:22 These words spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

JOHN 12:42-43

12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of GOD.

Among Jerusalem Jews, in the middle of the "First Century", confessing one's belief that YAHshua was the Christ was equivalent to breaking all ties to one's synagogue. And for some who caught the attention of the murderous "goon squad" boss named Saul, who became the apostle Paul, confession could result in imprisonment or worse.

ACTS 8:1-4

8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

8:2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

8:3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the Church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

8:4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

ACTS 9:1-2

9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the High Priest,

9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of "This Way", whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

YOU'RE DAMNED IF YOU DO—AND DAMNED IF YOU DON'T

JOHN 3:16

3:16 For GOD so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Some might wonder if it's worth believing in an unverifiable, future "salvation" from "perishing" at the hands of GOD—which, to some, means "not perishing for the rest of eternity"—if it means being threatened "here and now" with slaughter, or imprisonment by murderous religious bigots like Saul, who claim to be GOD's law enforcement officers and executioners.

Hundreds of millions have been taught that the worst "sin" that exists, in GOD's opinion, is disbelief in His "only begotten Son"—Jesus of Nazareth. If you don't believe—even if you never heard that you were supposed to—you will be damned for eternity by the GOD who loves you "soooo much" He hasn't bothered to reveal the one and only "way to salvation" to most humans who have ever lived.

Supposedly the "easy believism" that John 3:16 seems to support (but doesn't) sums up an "airtight , fire-proof case" for the interrelated "required" belief (lest one be labeled a heretic) that probably 99.99% of all humans who have lived on Earth will be fried in Hell for eternity because they didn't, at some point in their human lives "believe in Jesus Christ as their personal savior".

WHAT IF A PERSON NEVER GETS A CHANCE TO "CONFESS" HIS BELIEF IN THE LORD JESUS TO ANYONE—IS HE THEREFORE, UNQUALIFIED FOR SALVATION?

ROMANS 10:9-10

10:9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart [mind] that GOD has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

10:10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

It has been utterly impossible for the vast majority of all humans who have lived on Earth to "confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus", because no one can "confess" something they've never heard of—and had no reason to "confess" to anyone even if they did.

Who is a "confessor" supposed to be "confessing" to? Certainly not some human calling himself a "Father", who, undoubtedly, has a lot of "unconfessed" sins between himself and whatever he believes "God" to be—or whatever he believes "the mother of God" to be—it being, apparently, less risky and intimidating to "confess" to a "mother" than a "father"—even a "fellow father" who knows almost nothing about being a true father.

The scripture makes it crystal clear who one must "confess" to in order to be saved from "eternal deletion" or spirit annihilation. Every tongue shall confess to GOD.

ROMANS 14:9-13

14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

14:10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you set at nothing your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

14:11 For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to GOD [with "adult" knees, and "tongues" able to do that].

14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to GOD.

14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more, but judge this rather; that no man put a stumbling block, or an occasion to [presumably] fall [into hell-fire"] in his brother's way [such as a bogus "eye of the needle" requirement that one must believe precisely what a preacher decides is the one and only qualification for salvation, or that one must obey a collection of qualifications for salvation lest one still be pre-destinated for eternal punishment with hell-fire and brimstone. What despicable, blasphemous heresy against the true love of GOD, and His love of this World.]

There is only one true Spirit Father, or Holy Father—GOD, the Father. Confess anything that bothers you about your behavior to Him—not to Jesus; not to Mary; not to your local parish "father"—perish the thought. Don't bother confessing to pseudo "fathers" who should know the teaching of YAHshua that none of us should call any human "Father" as a religious title. Especially those who are anything but honorable "fathers of the faith" due to their own sexual aberrations.

Yes, I know that the unmarried apostle Paul referred to himself as a "father" in the honorable sense of acting as a "symbolic" father to the "child-like" membership of several churches of GOD.

1 CORINTHIANS 4:14-17

4:14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved "sons" I warn you.

4:15 For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have you not many "fathers" [unlike some Churches that have tens of thousands of "fathers", but not many instructors in Christ]; for in Christ Jesus I have "begotten" you through the Gospel [contributed to the beginning of your spiritual life].

4:16 Wherefore I plead to you, be you followers of me.

4:17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved "son", and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

But Paul followed the proper tradition of having people address him by his "first name"—Paul—not "Father Paul". And no human, not even YAHshua—has any right to have other humans call him "Holy Father"—a title that applies only to GOD, the Father.

MATTHEW 23:9

23:9 And call no man your "Father" upon the Earth [who isn't your actual father]: for One is your Father, which is in Heaven [not some pompous "holy father", or "godfather", or "papa", or "pop", or "pope" on a throne].

MATTHEW 18:2-7

18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

18:3 And said, Truly I say unto you, Except you be converted, and become as "little children", you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child [once they get past their screaming "terrible twos", or "threes", or "fours"], the same is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

18:5 And whoso shall receive one such "little child" [humble, or unpretentious convert] in my name receives me.

18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these "little ones" [converts] which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the Sea.

18:7 Woe unto the World because of offenses! For it must essentially be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! [there were many in that category—especially Judas, and Saul, who became the apostle Paul.]

THE PERILS OF PAUL

The apostle Paul became the epitome of the fulfillment of that judgment by YAHshua, in being required to personally suffer as much as he had attempted to make new converts suffer to "prove" his "super-righteous supremicism".

2 CORINTHIANS 11:23-29

11:23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often [he apparently died from assaults, more than once, but was restored to continuing mortal life. It's interesting that the word "Saul" is part of the word "assault"].

11:24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

11:25 Three times was I beaten with rods; once was I stoned; three times I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

11:26 In journeys often; in perils of waters; in perils of robbers; in perils by my own countrymen; in perils by the heathen; in perils in the city; in perils in the wilderness; in perils in the Sea [see Acts 27]; in perils among false brethren;

11:27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

11:28 Beside those things that are without, that which comes upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? [Paul's pomposity was punctured in many places, until it was thoroughly deflated.]

YOUR SALVATION DECISION WILL BE MADE BY GOD—NOT YOU!

The belief, or lack of belief, of any human in anything during a person's one and only human life does not compel, or require GOD to execute an automatic death penalty at any time. Such a concept is simply insane! GOD does not "love righteousness" soooo much that He is willing to throw anyone into ever-burning hellfire because of some unknown, and unfulfilled "requirement", or collection of "requirements" imposed by Protestants, or Catholics.

Scripture verses that have been used for hundreds of years to support the belief that some humans will be thrown into Hell-fire, may be "true", as originally written, but only to the degree that they are illuminated by many other clear scriptures that reveal the true will of GOD, and His Angel, YAHshua the Christ.

1 TIMOTHY 2:3-4

2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of GOD our Savior;

2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

All of the scriptures that seem to support eternal life in hell-fire are easily "extinguishable" by parallel scriptures that make them comprehensible and sensible. Those scriptures will be fully explored, and explained in future publications.

No "Jew" or "Gentile" has ever missed his, or her chance to be saved because he, or she didn't know about Jesus Christ, or couldn't believe any of the misrepresentations of Jesus Christ preached by those who don't know what they're talking about.

Only when one meets Jesus Christ, or YAHshua the Messiah, face-to-face in a final individualized judgment after a fully dimensional visionary resurrection, "in the Spirit", will it be required of any person to "believe in Jesus" as a "personal Savior". There will be no "hearsay" conversions at that time. It will be the time when all "men" will come to a knowledge of the truth and will be given ample proof that Jesus is who he says he is.

At that time it will be a simple matter for each individual to confess one's belief to YAHshua himself, that he has power from GOD to save anyone from a future punishment for any past sin.

ACTS 17:30-31

17:30 And the times of this ignorance GOD "winked" [winced, or grimaced] at; but now commands all men every where to repent:

17:31 Because He has appointed a day, in the which He will judge the World in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; whereof He has given assurance unto all men, in that He has raised him from the dead.

JOHN 5:22-27

5:22 For the Father judges no man ["in Person"], but has committed all judgment unto the Son [who usually personifies Him]:

5:23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.

5:24 Truly, truly, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on Him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

5:25 Truly, truly, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of GOD; and they that hear shall live.

5:26 For as the Father has life in Himself; so has He given to the Son to have life in himself;

5:27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of Man.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:10

5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad.

No one is required to confess to any other human, anything about one's personal belief in Jesus Christ. Why would that be a requirement for confirming one's belief? GOD knows whether anyone's belief is genuine, or not. And mere "belief" doesn't automatically "save" a person anyway. No one is saved permanently until there is the existence of a reality, in the form of a "Lake of Fire" in which one is in danger of being "lost"—or more accurately—"deleted", or annihilated.

WHAT IS SALVATION?

Often a "salvation tract" will use the verse regarding the supposed necessity of "confessing one's belief" as a "kicker" that will confirm that one believes that all one has to do is "believe in Jesus" and repeat a phrase to some human, and "thou shalt be saved". But the assumption that "thou shalt be saved" begs the question—from what? Are you being "saved" from being able to control your own life without interference from a preacher telling you what "Gaahduh!" requires you to do? Which usually involves giving money, for some reason.

It is true that you can't "earn" salvation from GOD by performing ritualistic religious "dead works" in any form—whether "Jewish", Catholic, Protestant, or the "works" of any other Church—you name it. Sitting in a Church every Sunday, warming a "pew" with your butt is often a "dead work". Salvation will ultimately depend on simple faith in YAHshua's authority from GOD to literally save one from eternal annihilation of body and soul after a final judgment.

MATTHEW 10:28

10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell [not preserve both soul and body in Hell forever and ever].

1 THESSALONIANS 5:23

5:23 And the very GOD of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray GOD your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Although much of the "busy work" that some preachers assign to their "flocks" falls into the category of unnecessary "dead works"—the scriptures say that while we are still alive in this physical World, simple faith without "works" is a dead faith. "Works" in this context, are "good works"—not useless religious "works" that help no one and simply waste time that could be spent helping someone.

GOD expects good works from believers, and he will reward believers for doing good, useful works in this life. Often the satisfaction of doing something good for someone is its own reward. "Charity begins at home". It is better to give than to receive—unless you are a preacher counting the receipts of contributions to the Church's latest "building fund".

Good works—not useless ritualistic "works"—will result in rewards after physical death, into eternity—primarily freedom to enjoy the infinite potential pleasures that will become available once all former humans have been transformed into spirit beings capable of enjoying "Life" as GOD, and His Angel enjoy it.

PSALMS 16:9-11

16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

16:10 For you will not leave my soul in hell [the "hell", or hole of a grave]; neither will you allow your Holy One to see corruption [in that hole, or "hell"].

16:11 You will show me the path of life: in your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

FINDING THE "INSIDE TRACK" TO SALVATION

If the "easy believism" presented on most tracts had any merit; that system of "preaching the Gospel" would have made YAHshua's difficult, and almost fruitless ministry, unnecessary. He could have just covered the Earth with "salvation leaflets" growing from trees—especially fig trees—and saved everyone a lot of grief caused by ignorance of the "mini-theology" portrayed on tracts.

Imagine how "fruitful" the withered fig-tree could have been if it had been covered with "mini-salvation-leaflets". It still would have been "unfruitful", because Christian mini-leaflets fail to reveal "the Way, the Truth, and the Life".

Perhaps the handing out of tracts, or the littering of doorways with them, or the unexplained dumping of complete "Gospels of John" out of airplanes over "foreign" countries , is not seen as such a beneficial endeavor by GOD. Why not dump a copy of the "Gospel of Malachi" on those who have to clean up the mess, as if it's the day after "New Year's Eve".

MALACHI 4:1-6

4:1 For, behold, the day comes, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

4:3 And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, says the Lord of Hosts.

4:4 Remember you the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the Lord:

4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the Earth with a curse.

Well, at least it's "good news", or "gospel" to those who won't be burned to ashes. Notice that the "wicked", who will have had three and a half years of opportunity to choose a way of life other than idolatrous evil, will be burned to ashes—not condemned to an eternal life as an ever-sizzling human "shish kebab"; or a never-purchased "tube steak" "sweating like a pig-dog"—a "pork-products" frankfurter—rolling around for days under a heat-lamp in the local "get food and gas fast Quick Shop", instead of being able to "roll around Heaven all day".

Perhaps the premise of instant, do-it-yourself "salvation", is not really what GOD considers true "Salvation". He has no reason to save anyone after death because a person signed his name on the back of a tract.

Don't be distracted by the "wrong side" of tracts—the side that misconstrues truly revealing verses into misleading irrelevance because of loss of context. Even GOD, the Father couldn't reduce the revelations in the entire Bible so they would fit on a 3 x 5" leaflet with room to spare. Go to the Bible and start learning the Way to the Truth about the one who can give you eternal Life.

JOHN 14:6

14:6 Jesus says unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.

JOHN 3:16-21

3:16 For GOD so loved the World, that He gave [sent] His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life [perishing is the opposite of being eternally alive].

3:17 For GOD sent not His Son into the World to condemn the World; but that the World through him might be saved.

3:18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not [yet] believed in the name of the only begotten Son of GOD [No one "believes on him" from birth—thus, all of those who now "believe on, or in him" were, before belief, among those who were potentially "condemned already", but moved to the other category when they were presented with a "Son of GOD" they could believe in—not a distorted image of "the Son" that doesn't deserve to be believed.].

3:19 And this is the [reason for the] condemnation, that light has come into the World [but "the light" was only seen by relatively few who were able to learn enough to believe], and [a few] men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

3:20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

3:21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in GOD.

WHY DOES GOD LOVE "THE WORLD"?

GOD loves our World, because it is a Universal showcase of all He has been creating for our "human World". And He "loves" especially, the potential of those who are the focus of His attention in this World—humans—to whom He wants to give access to Life as He has created it—for His own self-generated pleasure, and for the future "instinctive" pleasure of all who will satisfy a very minimal requirement—either now, or during their final judgment.

That requirement is not a simple agreement with what you think, or what someone else thinks a handful of scriptures say; or signing your name on the back of a tract and telling someone you did it. What a pathetic miniaturization of the concept of spirit salvation that is.

It won't be, and can't be a tiny printed tract that will result in true spirit salvation for the enormously vast majority of all humans who have ever been born. That will happen when virtually all humans are given a full opportunity to understand the salvation of their spirits during a personal, face-to-face introduction to the only supernatural Being authorized to represent GOD the Father in the form of a singular personality—His Angel.

After 4,000 years of human history, the Angel of the LORD GOD became the only supernaturally begotten physical, or mortal "Son of Man", and "Son of GOD". He has now been tested, and trained, and is ready to become the long-awaited Messiah, or Christ of the World—the only Being authorized by GOD, to provide access and union with GOD, his Father, and in due time, the GOD and Spirit Father of all who will accept their opportunity to become one of His Holy Spirit "begotten", and ultimately, "born again" children.

Don't get lost "on the wrong side of the tracts" that offer empty, instant, imaginary "salvation" to those who believe that's all GOD has to offer. The way of salvation is narrow, and few find it—but you have begun to find it. And if you "follow" it to the end—"thou shalt be saved".
