You just demonstrated one thing you did keep from your university degrees: an improved ability to word-game, side step and attempt to steer the discussion. Church is the word formed to describe a special community, united in their faith in Jesus Christ OF THE BIBLE, Christian beliefs, morals and goals. You know that, everyone who has English as their first language and is fully literate knows that. Even my atheist relatives know that!
This opinion of yours is totally dishonest. The Greek word "ekklesia" does NOT and NEVER did mean "church". Only someone who despises Christ and His True Teachings would mistakenly believe that Christ wants us gather in a building full of heathens and hypocrites (Matt. 6:5-8) where God does NOT dwell (Acts 7:48; 17:24), to listen to some spiritually blind preacher/pastor/priest that doesn't know what they're talking (Isa. 3:12) and sing silly songs that help no one (Isa. 42:10; Rev. 15:3).

I am fully aware of both sides of the coin. Most of my biological family is very educated as well. The people I have got to know in this little town are way **wiser** than my family though. (They have a very strong Christian faith as well as proper bible knowledge - they are very precious people).
Christ on the so-called "strong Christian faith" (strong by your opinion/estimation) during these end-times:-
Luke 18:7-8
18:7 And shall not God avenge His own Elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them?
18:8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find Faith on the Earth?

Matthew 7:21-24
7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into The Kingdom of heaven; ONLY he that doeth 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 thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work inequity.
7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a Rock (the Truth):

WHO is this Father?
Anthony John Hill, or JAHtruth as you call him?
Father is God. The Father and God of our Lord Christ, the Saviour and of us too, IF we obey Him (Matt. 23:9).

John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my God, and your God.

1 Peter 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Christ the Saviour, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God.

How can you claim to be "strong in faith" (faith is trust in Father/God) and not know these things?

has his own "certified cult translation" of these texts
Translation* with a massive astricks because i dont think he speaks any of the languages. Hence literally translating the word “Ramadan” in that instance from “Ramadan” to “the same time as the Torah”. It’s just going through the text and editing parts to fit his teaching. Even removing entire chapters from the bible if need be.

as to how people find this cult, a freeman seems to function as their main propoganda arm. I imagine like all cults they find disenfranchised outcasts and introduce them to the normal principles of faith, which work well in helping them, before using their cult tactics of manipulation to get them to stay.
These seem to be telling them everyone in the world is evil except them, the cult of personality around Anthony hill, threats of hellfire like freeman does when he’s on his back foot in the argument, gaslighting (you didn’t see that, that never happened) - There was even a woman who came and posted all the emails here that Anthony hill had sent her, telling her he was in a sexual relationship with a woman in Ireland, and if she wanted, he’d start another one with her. Freeman reported them and they were removed here, and now if you bring it up he goes “what emails, that didn’t happen” LOL

Today, same as it was 2000 years ago, people believe their worldly standards, like those with "letters" after their names, e.g. BS, MS, PHD, MD, etc. (more on that below).

All people NEED to do is to DO God's Will, which begins with keeping God's Law, and they will see for themselves whether what Christ/JAH teaches is true, or whether He is speaking of Himself.

This is the one thing the "Jews" wouldn't do, which is why they could not see Christ - The Firstborn Son of God -- inside of Jesus (John 1:10). And it is exactly why the "Christians" are following in their footsteps today, not able to see Christ -- The Firstborn Son of God -- inside of JAH…
And just like that, I know what the AJH movement reminds me of!

“History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today."

Henry Ford was clearly not a man who cared for learning and forming an accurate understanding of the past, and yet he felt more than confident to promote one piece of revisionist history that learning would have helped him avoid…

Henry Ford's anti-Semitic views echoed the fears and assumptions of many Americans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Anti-Semitism in America saw a change in expression and virulence when increased immigration from Europe brought millions of Jews to the U.S. during Ford's childhood in the latter half of the 19th century. It reached its peak during the mid-1920s: a time when Ku Klux Klanmembership had reached four million, Prohibition restricted alcohol consumption, and discriminatory immigration policies were enacted favoring immigrants from northern and western Europe over other parts of the world.

A close friend recalled a camping trip in 1919 during which Ford lectured a group around the campfire. He "attributes all evil to Jews or to the Jewish capitalists," the friend wrote in his diary. "The Jews caused the war, the Jews caused the outbreak of thieving and robbery all over the country, the Jews caused the inefficiency of the navy…"

In 1918, Henry Ford purchased his hometown newspaper, The Dearborn Independent. A year and a half later, he began publishing a series of articles that claimed a vast Jewish conspiracy was infecting America. The series ran in the following 91 issues. Ford bound the articles into four volumes titled "The International Jew," and distributed half a million copies to his vast network of dealerships and subscribers. The rhetoric was not unusual for its content, as much as its scope. As one of the most famous men in America, Henry Ford legitimised ideas that otherwise may have been given little authority.

The King of kings' Bible is based upon the KJV 1611 for the Old and New Covenant and upon the 1938 Yusuf Ali for the Quran, because these are the most accurate translations available in the English language, at least until the King of kings' Bible was completed in 2000.
What you're doing here is called doubling-down. You've now admitted that KOK is not an 'inspired' translation of any kind (not even in the way that Joseph Smith claimed of his own). You can't just go an mutilate a mere translation of a text (in English of all things) and then claim to have restored a long-long, non-existent text. It is just incompetent and pathetic.
Both English translations are also not the most accurate translations by any stretch of the imagination. KJV dominated the Protestant world for a little while but itself contains many flaws not found in earlier manuscripts of the original Hebrew and Greek (a subject of it's own), many far greater translations have come since in the past century including the NRSV.
Yusuf Ali's translation was the best English one at the time, but that isn't saying much. Translations have become far more accurate and closer representative of the flow of the original Arabic in the past 60 years. His translation has never been held as a certified standard anywhere, only a a famous one for westerners.

KOK was not 'inspired' and it didn't rely on original manuscripts. It is at best a joke and at worst a fraud.


I'm gonna give you a taste of The Way To Sanity or How Put Out The Fire, which is the true and inspired translation of The Way Home or Face The Fire:

1:3 Anthony John Hill; now known here on Earth as Satan (the Opposer) the Devil (the Liar/Slanderer)(RED dragon/serpent - Rev. 12:3, 9) from which the word D/evil is derived; because of his selfish and arrogant nature, wanted to over-throw the Lord and to take His place, so that he could rule, and inflict his own selfish opinion and evil desires on the heavens. He encouraged and misled many of the other inhabitants of Britian; whom people on Earth know by the name Fascists; to join him and he then started a war, against God (Rev. 12:7 & Isaiah 14:13-14).
1:4 Fascists do not have brains or intelligence and cannot comprehend an argument, this group of Fascists in particular believe in an ideology called British Israelism, they merely have an obnoxious screeching type of voice and they are blind. The very simple mentality of the people of the early caveman days.
1:5 Anthony John Hill did not tell the truth or try to make a positive change in the world, but sneaked around desperate to fornicate and lied dishonourably (John 8:44 / Gangster of gangsters’ Bible, John 8:35), as ALL cult leaders do

This is what the TRUE Way Home And Face The Fire says. Anthony John Hill has LIED and DECIEVED you. WAKE UP.

Where is the second mention of Ramadhan in the Koran/Quran? Just like with "Mecca", there isn't one.
And where is there ANY mention of "Ramadhan" in the Bible, where the prescribed instructions for fasting are found? Again, NOWHERE.
Further, if someone misses the prescribed period for fasting, and has to make it up later, where are the instructions for doing that in the Koran/Quran? Again, NOWHERE.
Why would the Qur'an need to mention Ramadan or Mecca on every page? the early Muslims already knew where they were/migrated from and didn't need a month described to them in terms of days or the full extent of the calendar, just like I don't need to describe for you when April is.

What is the prescribed period of fasting? you just dance around answering any direct questions.

This is how ridiculous it is that almost 2 billion so-called Muslims have been duped by Satan into believing that God gave us some lunar based lunacy, so that we could all be nocturnal for a month (a form of moon-worship which God said He abhors), and where silly people without common-sense die from dehydration, because they are too stupid to drink water while they are fasting.
Both Judaism (Yom Kippur) and Christianity (Lent) has it's own observances of fasting, I don't see how fasting is moon worship, yet you've kept fasting in your mutilation of the text.

"People without common-sense die from dehydration" - I can confirm that, given that I am doing the "Satanic" fast myself currently, that I have died several times this Ramadan and I am severely dehydrated to the point of collapsing on the floor when writing this. Everything you say makes complete sense.

"because they are too stupid to drink water while they are fasting" - duhduh what is water?

An entire article has been written on this subject, in truth and in love for all "Muslims", so that we can come and reason with Father together. Please find it at the following link:
And it is exactly what I am responding to. Your lies, fraud and flat-out utter nonsense. It is a stupid article and a waste of time reading, I read it before I made post #46 in this thread.

If not here, than that information should be available and easy searchable elsewhere. He's clearly a terrible person, and a very creepy old man.

Another thing is the way Anthony John Hill and his sycophants use libertarian-right atheist lingo.

One thing A Freeman always brings up is "organized religion", this nonexistent term only exists in that context. It is the lingo of people who believe in stuff like tax avoidance but simultaneously are hyper-capitalistic and want all the money in the world. They don't believe in God or responsibility and just care about profits.
AJH's sycophants teach very newagey gnostic stuff which perfectly coincides with their form of secularist-libertarianism informing their overall lingo. It makes sense too because AJH criticizes the 'religions' which dominate worldwide culture (mainly Christianity and Islam), while also wanting to recruit idiots to his fringe little cult to teach them 'secret knowledge'.

He also has no distinction between the types of roles people play within these different 'religions'. It is very cringeworthy to see him for instance, conflate an Imam (which in the Sunni context is solely someone who leads prayer, does a sermon on Friday and helps finance a mosque, maybe teach Arabic, nothing else, but otherwise has no authority or special rank, in the Shia context this type of person is often known as a Mulla) to a Priest and a Rabbi and other roles which simply have nothing to do with each other.
He treats the socio-liturgical systems of these different 'religions' as all synonymous and inherently bad etc, yet also with no understanding at all what they even do.

Priests hold liturgical and ecclesiological roles, they do a lot of study and have a higher position of authority than an average member of the Church congregation but they don't make any of the big decisions. Bishops on the other hand have authority at ecumenical councils and therefore hold an important position of the rank of the Magisterium which is the ultimate authority in Catholicism next to the Bible.
Rabbis on the other hand are scholars and legislators, for Jews they hold quite a high level of authority.

Communally Islam is the most loose of the three because it is a congregational religion, you attend to worship (5 daily prayers at your choice, and the one obligatory prayer in the Mosque on Friday) and there isn't much beyond things like fundraising for charity which goes on in Mosques, anything else would be by association (like a school or organization partnered with a Mosque but which is located somewhere else in that same city). Islamic schools (masrasas) and scholars are a completely different area of the religion which doesn't play a role in the life of the average Muslim.

Whereas a Priest is an essential part of the life of a Catholic (Orthodox too), given their visible presence in the Mass and their weekly role within the Church, given that they devote their lives to it as their 'profession'.
Catholicism is the only truly institutional religion and it is proud of having that status, as for Catholics it is a sign of their legitimacy.
Protestants (who are most Christians on this site) have a related system of running their churches but it has a more loose structure and greater level of secularity to the roles of church figures (like pastors).

Judaism has the same kind of formality as Catholicism and Orthodoxy but on a much smaller scale, so it is in the middle between Islam and Catholicism on the scale between congregationalism (Islam) and institutionalism (Catholicism).

Divide and conquer is unmistakably a satanic strategy.

Anyone who cannot see that ALL organized religion was created by Satan with that specific intention -- to put up a totally unnecessary barrier in between God and man -- is already so far into Satan's grip there is no hope.

For doubters, please observe how the participants in all of these corporate fictional SECTS, CULTS, DENOMINATIONS, etc. try to justify their particular SECT, etc., or SECTS in general, in their vain effort to con themselves into continuing their worthless traditions and oblations, etc., e.g. pagan Christ-mas/Yuletide/Saturnalia, pagan Ishtar/Easter, and pagan Ramadan, all of which Father -- THE One True God, Whose Name is "I AM" (YHWH in Hebrew) -- and His Christ/Messenger (Exod. 23:20-23; John 5:23; Sura 7:157-158) have repeatedly CONDEMNED.

Psalm 23
23:1 <A Psalm of David.> The "I AM" [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.
23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
23:3 He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in The Way of righteousness for His name's sake.
23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou [art] with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in The House of the "I AM" for ever.

Jeremiah 23:1-6
23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture! saith the "I AM".
23:2 Therefore thus saith the "I AM" God of Israel AGAINST the pastors that feed My people; Ye have scattered My flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the "I AM".
23:3 And I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the "I AM".
23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the "I AM", that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute Judgment and Justice in the earth.
23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE "I AM" OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Matthew 23:8-15
23:8 But be not ye called priest (etc.): for One is your Teacher, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
23:9 And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even] Christ.
23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
23:13 But woe unto you, lawyers and (Pharisees - Farsis - Persian converts to Judaism, who were the) politicians, hypocrites! for ye shut up The Kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither allow ye them that are entering to go in (see Enoch 93:4-104:6).
23:14 Woe unto you, lawyers and politicians, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
23:15 Woe unto you, lawyers and politicians, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one convert, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell-fire than yourselves.

Sura 23:49-61 (The Believers)
23:49. And We gave Moses The Book (Torah), in order that they might receive Guidance.
23:50. And We made the son of Mary and his mother as a Sign: We gave them both shelter on high ground, affording rest and security and furnished with springs.
23:51. O ye Apostles! Enjoy (all) things good and pure, and work righteousness: for I am well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
23:52. And verily this Brotherhood of yours is a SINGLE Brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore fear Me (and no other - Matt. 10:28).
23:53. But people have cut off their affair (of Unity), between them, into SECTS (Sura 6:159): each party rejoices in that which is with itself.
23:54. But leave them in their confused ignorance for a time.
23:55. Do they think that because We have granted them abundance of wealth and sons,
23:56. We would hasten them on in every good? Nay, they do not understand.
23:57. Verily those who live in awe for fear of their Lord;
23:58. Those who believe in the Signs of their Lord;
23:59. Those who join not (in worship) partners with their Lord;
23:60. And those who dispense their charity with their hearts full of fear, because they will return to their Lord;-
23:61. It is these who hasten in every good work, and these who are foremost in them.

Nobody needs satanic priests, pastors, rabbis, imams, etc., who are the spiritually blind leading the blind, making the Commandments of God of no effect by their tradition (Matt. 15:1-14).

All Scriptural quotes above are from the King of kings' Bible, the most accurate Bible on Earth, inspired by God Himself and presented to the world by His Christ/Messenger, as a free gift to unite all mankind into a single brotherhood of believers under God, exactly as God always intended us to be.

On itablet, so I am responding to two things only.
This opinion of yours is totally dishonest. The Greek word "ekklesia" does NOT and NEVER did mean "church". Only someone who despises Christ and His True Teachings would mistakenly believe that Christ wants us gather in a building full of heathens and hypocrites (Matt. 6:5-8) where God does NOT dwell (Acts 7:48; 17:24), to listen to some spiritually blind preacher/pastor/priest that doesn't know what they're talking (Isa. 3:12) and sing silly songs that help no one (Isa. 42:10; Rev. 15:3).
You are echoing AJH again.
Every Bible version from biblegateway.com says church.

Christ on the so-called "strong Christian faith" (strong by your opinion/estimation) during these end-times:-
Luke 18:7-8
18:7 And shall not God avenge His own Elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them?
18:8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find Faith on the Earth?

Matthew 7:21-24
7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into The Kingdom of heaven; ONLY he that doeth 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 thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work inequity.
7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a Rock (the Truth):


Father is God. The Father and God of our Lord Christ, the Saviour and of us too, IF we obey Him (Matt. 23:9).

John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my God, and your God.

1 Peter 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Christ the Saviour, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God.

How can you claim to be "strong in faith" (faith is trust in Father/God) and not know these things?
The Father of the Bible and the "Father" of JAHtruth's ebook sound completely different.
That is worthy of a separate thread eventually.

Why would the Qur'an need to mention Ramadan or Mecca on every page? the early Muslims already knew where they were/migrated from and didn't need a month described to them in terms of days or the full extent of the calendar, just like I don't need to describe for you when April is.

What is the prescribed period of fasting? you just dance around answering any direct questions.



Both Judaism (Yom Kippur) and Christianity (Lent) has it's own observances of fasting, I don't see how fasting is moon worship, yet you've kept fasting in your mutilation of the text.

"People without common-sense die from dehydration" - I can confirm that, given that I am doing the "Satanic" fast myself currently, that I have died several times this Ramadan and I am severely dehydrated to the point of collapsing on the floor when writing this.

A Freeman would not enjoy it if people decided to be creative with JAHtruth's ebook, the way AJH is creative with the Bible and quran.
With enough effort I am sure we could "translate" it into a medicine-endorsing/ pro-vaccine/ pro-feminist/ pro-LGBT+ and pro-universalism book.
I learned to write 'feminist', interpreting everything through a woman's rights lenses while doing my nursing degree university papers, I could have great fun with that book.

I could claim my translation of AJH's ebook was divinely inspired, from the "god" who revealed herself as a woman for women, because Father God is so powerful he could identify as a mother if he/she wishes to do so.

Widening it out, to use the parlance of modern debate, there are people who are Christians and there are people who identify as Christians. This reflection on denominations is very interesting and I am grateful to @e-Enoch for putting me on to this video series.

Please show us ANYWHERE else in Scripture, other than in what has been labeled as 1 Timothy 3 in some versions of the Bible, where God talks about deacons and bishops.

And again, where is there ANY mention of bishops and deacons (church offices) ANYWHERE in any other part of Scripture?

The Scripture CANNOT be broken, so there MUST be a second witness for this passage to be true
Well, since you said please...

Titus 1:7
5For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: 6If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 7For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.


In kok he translates "elders" from v5 and "bishop/overseer" from v7 as the same word, despite them being different in greek.

1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are left undone, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
1:7 For an elder must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good things, sober, just, holy, temperate;
1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

elders
πρεσβυτέρους (presbyterous)
Adjective - Accusative Masculine Plural
Strong's 4245: Comparative of presbus; older; as noun, a senior; specially, an Israelite Sanhedrist or Christian 'presbyter'.

an overseer
ἐπίσκοπον (episkopon)
Noun - Accusative Masculine Singular
Strong's 1985: From epi and skopos; a superintendent, i.e. Christian officer in genitive case charge of a church.

Now, let's discuss this:

Note: Blameless? Please.

Romans 3:10-12 (see also Ps. 53:1-3)
3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
3:12 They are all gone out of The Way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
As i quoted above, kok ALSO uses the word "blameless". Or are you acknowledging that perhaps the kok is in error?

Or it could be the obvious - in this context, "blameless" means "not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers." ?

Now, you've mentioned "priests" in too many posts for me to quote them all, surely you know that the Law in fact does mention priests? Unless the kok changes them to the word "channels" like it does in Revelation 5:10.

i guess only one way to find out...

Exodus 19:6 "purists"? By this point i can't tell if this is a typo or deliberate...

Ex 19:22, 24 "priests"
Lev 1:5, 8, 11 "priests"
Lev 2:2 "priests"

There is no need to continue, we can see that "priests" are mentioned in kok. So if we REALLY have to keep the Law, AND kok is absolutely without errors, then we need priests!

(Before the strawman arguments and mental gymnastics begin, i am NOT saying we have to keep the Law. I'm saying IF we did, as a freeman has told us multiple times we must, then it involves priests, as they are mentioned under the Law even in kok)

A Freeman would not enjoy it if people decided to be creative with JAHtruth's ebook, the way AJH is creative with the Bible and quran.
With enough effort I am sure we could "translate" it into a medicine-endorsing/ pro-vaccine/ pro-feminist/ pro-LGBT+ and pro-universalism book.
I learned to write 'feminist', interpreting everything through a woman's rights lenses while doing my nursing degree university papers, I could have great fun with that book.

I could claim my translation of AJH's ebook was divinely inspired, from the "god" who revealed herself as a woman for women, because Father God is so powerful he could identify as a mother if he/she wishes to do so.
We could do that and it'd still come out making more sense than AJH's actual book, it'd also be entertaining to read.
Actually AJH's stuff would probably fit an extreme feminist subject matter very well, including WITH ALL OF THESE ARBITRARY BOLD CAPITALS.

Divide and conquer is unmistakably a satanic strategy.

Anyone who cannot see that ALL organized religion was created by Satan with that specific intention -- to put up a totally unnecessary barrier in between God and man -- is already so far into Satan's grip there is no hope.

For doubters, please observe how the participants in all of these corporate fictional SECTS, CULTS, DENOMINATIONS, etc. try to justify their particular SECT, etc., or SECTS in general, in their vain effort to con themselves into continuing their worthless traditions and oblations, etc., e.g. pagan Christ-mas/Yuletide/Saturnalia, pagan Ishtar/Easter, and pagan Ramadan, all of which Father -- THE One True God, Whose Name is "I AM" (YHWH in Hebrew) -- and His Christ/Messenger (Exod. 23:20-23; John 5:23; Sura 7:157-158) have repeatedly CONDEMNED.

Psalm 23
23:1 <A Psalm of David.> The "I AM" [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.
23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
23:3 He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in The Way of righteousness for His name's sake.
23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou [art] with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in The House of the "I AM" for ever.

Jeremiah 23:1-6
23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture! saith the "I AM".
23:2 Therefore thus saith the "I AM" God of Israel AGAINST the pastors that feed My people; Ye have scattered My flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the "I AM".
23:3 And I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the "I AM".
23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the "I AM", that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute Judgment and Justice in the earth.
23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE "I AM" OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Matthew 23:8-15
23:8 But be not ye called priest (etc.): for One is your Teacher, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
23:9 And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even] Christ.
23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
23:13 But woe unto you, lawyers and (Pharisees - Farsis - Persian converts to Judaism, who were the) politicians, hypocrites! for ye shut up The Kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither allow ye them that are entering to go in (see Enoch 93:4-104:6).
23:14 Woe unto you, lawyers and politicians, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
23:15 Woe unto you, lawyers and politicians, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one convert, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell-fire than yourselves.

Sura 23:49-61 (The Believers)
23:49. And We gave Moses The Book (Torah), in order that they might receive Guidance.
23:50. And We made the son of Mary and his mother as a Sign: We gave them both shelter on high ground, affording rest and security and furnished with springs.
23:51. O ye Apostles! Enjoy (all) things good and pure, and work righteousness: for I am well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
23:52. And verily this Brotherhood of yours is a SINGLE Brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore fear Me (and no other - Matt. 10:28).
23:53. But people have cut off their affair (of Unity), between them, into SECTS (Sura 6:159): each party rejoices in that which is with itself.
23:54. But leave them in their confused ignorance for a time.
23:55. Do they think that because We have granted them abundance of wealth and sons,
23:56. We would hasten them on in every good? Nay, they do not understand.
23:57. Verily those who live in awe for fear of their Lord;
23:58. Those who believe in the Signs of their Lord;
23:59. Those who join not (in worship) partners with their Lord;
23:60. And those who dispense their charity with their hearts full of fear, because they will return to their Lord;-
23:61. It is these who hasten in every good work, and these who are foremost in them.

Nobody needs satanic priests, pastors, rabbis, imams, etc., who are the spiritually blind leading the blind, making the Commandments of God of no effect by their tradition (Matt. 15:1-14).

All Scriptural quotes above are from the King of kings' Bible, the most accurate Bible on Earth, inspired by God Himself and presented to the world by His Christ/Messenger, as a free gift to unite all mankind into a single brotherhood of believers under God, exactly as God always intended us to be.

Peace be upon you and within you.
Take a shot of vodka every time A Freeman says "Organized religion", "Spirit-being", calls someone else "Satanic" for doing what he's doing, and arbitrarily refers to priests, rabbis, imams, "Ego" and reincarnation.

obviously don't literally drink alcohol because it's forbidden, incase he's that stupid

Well, since you said please...

Titus 1:7
5For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: 6If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 7For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.


In kok he translates "elders" from v5 and "bishop/overseer" from v7 as the same word, despite them being different in greek.

If we were going to do that satirical book in a comical format, I personally would leave the Star Wars storyline pretty well alone. [I only watched several older movies once.] The only science fiction series I was a fan of was the British comedy series Red Dwarf. Star Wars fans and Trekkies should do that bit.

However if we were going to do it more seriously, as if we actually did believe we were hearing from AJH's Father [who we should be hearing from 24/7 apparently], all other gnostic / other religions' books/ mythology AJH has "borrowed permanently" should be clearly cross-referenced from as well.

How could there be churches, synagogues, mosques, etc., when Christ says they don't exist?
Funny you should say this because it was the custom of our Saviour (the real One) to attend the synagogue every Sabbath. If ever it was the wrong thing to do He wouldn't have set foot in one....to say nothing of the laws that every male had to go up to Jerusalem (the temple) 3 times a year. First born males (Luke 2:22-24)

Luke 4:14-16
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. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
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, and stood up for to read.
How could there be such a thing as a priest, pastor, rabbi, imam, etc., when Christ says they don't exist?
In His dialogue with Nicodemus, Christ said; "You are Israel's teacher...and you don't understand these things?" (John 3:10). Again, if the office of a "teacher" was ever a horrible idea, these are things that Christ would have denounced. And the call of Samuel to the priesthood? (1 Samuel 3, 2:35)
Nowhere in The Law are bishops and deacons mentioned; those are positions that were created by the satanic churches, etc. to try to justify their existence and teach people their lies,
A Master is a TEACHER. How could there be bishops and deacons teaching others anything, when Christ said they don't exist?
You can rail all you want about hierarchy but that won't stop the Holy Spirit from gifting people according to their disposition inorder to advance the cause of Christ.

1 Corinthians12:27-31
"Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration and those speaking in different kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers?...

The Greek word “ekklesia” means "the ones called out" (the "Elect"); it does NOT mean “church”

John 15:17-21

15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it HATED me before [it hated] you.
15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world HATETH you.
15:20 Remember the Truth that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they WILL also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not Him that sent me.

Let us make it clear from the very beginning that the established religious system, which manifests itself in the abomination called "church", is NOT of God. We intend to make it very clear, by studying the Greek words found in the New Testament, that the pattern which God intends His people to follow and live by is the ECCLESIA system, and is RADICALLY different than that which calls itself "church" in our day. As you read this short study the truth will dawn on you that Christians today have been fed a LIE, and that they have been enslaved by the religious systems of men. If you truly love Jesus and desire to follow Him in total obedience then you must seriously consider the facts that follow. We encourage each and every person who names the name of Christ to PRAY, FAST AND SEEK GOD concerning the important differences between how the first Christians lived and how Christians live today.

THE CORRECT MEANING OF "CHURCH"

(The following information is from ACMTC Library and BenWilliamsLibrary.com)

Let's start by defining the word. "Church" comes from the Old English and German word pronounced "kirche." In Scotland, it was "kirk."

The following entries are from the Oxford Universal English Dictionary:

Church [Old English cirice, circe; Middle English chereche, chiriche, chirche; whence churche, cherche, etc.: -Greek Kuriakon...]

Kirk The Northern English and Scottish form of CHURCH, in all its senses.

In the earlier Greek It was pronounced "ku-ri-a-kos" or "ku-ri-a-kon." As you can see, this word doesn't even resemble the Greek word "ecclesia" whose place it has usurped. The meaning of "Ku-ri-a-kos" is understood by its root: "Ku- ri-os," which means "lord." Thus, "kuriakos" (i.e., "church") means "pertaining to the lord." It refers to something that pertains to, or belongs to, a lord. The Greek "kuriakos" eventually came to be used in Old English form as "cirice" (Kee-ree-ke), then "churche" (kerke), and eventually "church" in its traditional pronunciation. A church, then, is correctly something that "pertains to, or belongs to, a lord."

Now, as you can see, there is a major problem here. The translators broke the rules in a big way. When they inserted the word "church" in the English versions, they were not translating the Greek word "kuriakos", as one might expect. Rather, they were substituting an entirely different Greek word. This was not honest! The word "church" would have been an acceptable translation for the Greek word "kuriakos." However, not by the wildest imagination of the most liberal translator can it ever be an acceptable translation for the Greek word "ecclesia." Are you following this? Consider it carefully. This truth will answer many questions you've had about churches, and the kingdom.

"Ecclesia" is an entirely different word with an entirely different meaning than "kuriakos." In fact, the Greek word "kuriakos" appears in the New Testament only twice. It is found once in I Corinthians 11:20 where it refers to "the Lord's supper," and once again in Revelation 1:10 where it refers to "the Lord's day." In both of those cases, it is translated "the Lord's..." - not "church." This word does not appear again in the New Testament. Nonetheless, this is the unlikely and strange history of the word "church" as it came to the English language. Eventually, through the manipulation of organized religion "church" came to replace "ecclesia" by popular acceptance. Again, we must emphasize the importance of knowing word meanings in order to know the intent of those who wrote the Scriptures.

THE CORRECT MEANING OF "ECCLESIA"

Now, let's look at the word, "ecclesia". This Greek word appears in the New Testament approximately 115 times. That's just in this one grammatical form. It appears also in other forms. And in every instance, except three, it is wrongly translated as "church" in the King James Version. Those three exceptions are found in Acts 19:32, 39, 41. In these instances the translators rendered it "assembly" instead of "church." But, the Greek word is exactly the same as the other 112 entries where it was changed to "church" wrongly.

In Acts 19, "ecclesia" is a town council: a civil body in Ephesus. Thus, the translators were forced to abandon their fake translation in these three instances. Nonetheless, 112 times they changed it to "church." This fact has been covered-up under centuries of misuse and ignorance. The Greek word "ecclesia" is correctly defined as: "The called-out (ones)" [ECC = out; KALEO = call]. Thus, you can see how this word was used to indicate a civil body of select (called, elected) people.

Church includes anything and anybody from a building to the Vatican, from a minister to a pope, a pastor to a priest, an evangelical to a scientologist.

Church is derived from kurios, which means Lord, and led to k-ir-k and to ch-ur-ch. However, church cannot be derived from Ekklesia.

Ekklesia comes from ek and kaleo. Kaleo means to “call out” and ek means “out” in the sense of “away” and “from”.

I, therefore, argue that “church” is a bad translation of “ekklesia” and that, as a result of this erroneous translation, the whole concept of “church” is not a New Testament concept so that whatever we understand by “church” today has no Scriptural warrant whatsoever.

Source: https://forum.evangelicaluniversalist.com/t/ecclesia-should-never-have-been-translated-as-church/2995

-------

On the mountain, Jesus "called to Him those He Himself wanted" (Mark 3:13).

Presumably there were more people following Jesus than the five handpicked men Mark mentions. Out of that group, He called Peter, Andrew, James, John, Matthew, and others. He called them not to a study of the law, of science, or of a trade; rather, He called them to Himself. Jesus called the ones He wanted, and His call was a sovereign one, because everyone He called to that office came to that office, and they came willingly to join that band of men who were to be a part of whom He was.

In a sense, this is a microcosmic look at what Jesus does for the whole kingdom of God—He calls those whom He wants. The Greek word that is translated as "church" in the Bible is ekklesia. This word is made up of a prefix and a root. The prefix is ek or ex, which means "out of " or "from." The root word is a form of the verb kaleo, which means "to call." Thus, ekklesia means "those who are the called-out ones."

So the King of kings’ Bible has it right, and the translations that wrongly translate “ekklesia” as “church” – to keep their evil places of idol worship in business – have it WRONG.

Thank-you for bringing this up, as this is a great example of why the King of kings’ Bible is so desperately needed NOW, to set straight mistakes in translations and in people’s understandings that have been caused by thousands of years of satanic programming through worldly institutions.

The Greek word that is being translated as “bishop” in the KJV is ἐπίσκοπον (episkopon), which refers to an “overseer” (an elder in the Old Covenant or a governor, e.g. Ps. 22:28).
https://biblehub.com/text/titus/1-7.htm


A comparison of other translations for Titus 1:7:
https://www.biblestudytools.com/titus/1-7-compare.html

Interestingly, the same Greek word ἐπίσκοπον (episkopon) is also found in 1 Peter 2:25, where it is also translated as “overseer” in some versions/translations, and again as “bishop” in the KJV, and elsewhere as “guardian”. This is interesting, because the verse is speaking of Christ, The Shepherd and yet, if we are to believe the KJV translation in this particular instance, Christ is allegedly also a “bishop”.

KJV – 1 Peter 2:21-25 (in context, so we can see it is talking about Christ)
2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

Using the translation “Bishop” (of our souls) is being done to imply “churchianity". The same worldly church and worldly church-going practice that Christ has CONDEMNED and has warned us: COME OUT OF HER (Rev. 18:4)? How could anyone actually believe that the man made-up office of a bishop somehow applies to Christ? Seriously?

Please also note well that this passage is also telling everyone that we MUST keep The Law of God, just as Christ did, because that is the example that He set for all of us (be perfect/blameless – Matt. 5:48 which, unfortunately for all of us, we have never done).

Further, Acts 20:28 uses a plural form of the same Greek word ἐπισκόπους (episkopous), which the KJV translates as “overseers” instead of “bishops”.


On the subject of “priests” (or pastors/shepherds, rabbis, imams, etc.), a priest, etc. is allegedly a teacher and a mediator between God and the rest of us.

So how many masters/teachers did Christ say there actually are besides Him? NONE (Matt. 23:8-10). How many mediators are there, according to Scripture? And how many good pastors/shepherds are there according to Christ (John 10:1-18)?

1 Timothy 2:5 For [there is] ONE God, and ONE mediator between God and men, the Man Jesus Christ;

ONE God doesn’t leave any room for any 3=1 Babylonian/Roman triads/”trinity” nonsense, regardless of whatever mental gymnastics anyone uses to try to explain away how 3 allegedly equals 1 in their minds.

And similarly, ONE Mediator, ONE Good Shepherd and ONE Teacher and doesn’t leave any room for ANY other priests, pastors, teachers, etc., nor for any bishops or cardinals or any other authoritative positions in the corporate fictional WORLDLY institutions and buildings known as “church” (or “synagogue”, “mosque”, or any other man-made temple), does it?

So The King of kings has every right to explain Scripture and the "mystery of God" to everyone right before the end of time, to provide those who love truth and righteousness, and aspire to draw closer to Father (God - James 4:8) a final opportunity to COME OUT OF HER (the world, and its worldly institutions, including state/government and church, etc.).
