Comparison of JAHtruth's "The way home or face the Fire" to the bible (part 2)

[A Freeman]

That is a massive overgeneralisation again.

You keep offering your opinion, as if it is worth something other than to prove to everyone you don't know what you're talking about.

FACT: The chemical-medical-pharmaceutical industrial complex is a MULTI-TRILLION A YEAR INDUSTRY. We poison the soil, crops, food, water and air with chemical poisons, and then sell more chemical poisons in the form of pharmaceutical "medicines"/drugs, etc. to allegedly heal people from the other chemical poisons.

FACT: Christ made it crystal clear that it is IMPOSSIBLE to serve God and materialism (mammon).

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and materialism (mammon).

So why are you trying to con people into believing your opinion instead of believing Christ? Or do you think what Christ said is a "massive overgeneralisation" too?

Some doctors and medical companies are after the money only. That doesn't mean all are corrupt.

As above please. According to the Bible, if they are in business of selling their chemical/pharmaceutical and surgical treatments, etc. to make money, or doing anything else to break God's Law, they are corrupt/satanic (criminals in God's Eyes).

1 John 3:8-10
3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth 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 born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever DOETH NOT righteousness is NOT of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

I have seen many other similar claims made towards lawyers, police, religious leaders and anyone else in power.

Because anyone in any of those positions is breaking God's Law. Lawyers and the police enforce man-made legislation, policies, procedures, man-made statutes and "codes", etc. (the traditions of men), all of which are UNLAWFUL (Deut. 4:2; 12:8; 12:32) because they make the Commandments of God of no effect (Matt. 15:3; 15:9). The same goes for all political and religious leaders, which is why Christ COMMANDED that none of these people should be scribes (lawyers), pharisees (politicians), rabbis (priests, pastors, rabbis, imams, etc.) or teachers of any kind.

Read all of Matthew 23.

L.Ron.Hubbard, the founder of Scientology wrote similar things about psychologists and psychiatrists.

IF so, then he was correct in pointing out that psychobabble and those professions are working against God, exactly as it says in the Bible. Why would anyone need the counsel of shrinks and drug-pushers to "cure" them of their weakened mental state? The reason that people get depressed and/or do things to harm themselves or others is for one reason and one reason only: they lack the Divine Guidance that they could have free of charge from our Creator, The King Ruler of the Universe, aka as "God", our heavenly Father. They certainly don't need to be psycho-analyzed or fed psychotropic drugs.

Exodus 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the "I AM" thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His eyes, and wilt give ear to His Commandments, and keep all His Statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the "I AM" that HEALETH thee.

God -- Who knows everything -- is the answer to ALL of our difficulties and the cure for every dis-ease, exactly as it says in The Way home or face The Fire by JAH.

Humans -- who know absolutely nothing of any value -- are only in it for the buck, regardless of what they may say to the contrary.

(national library of medicine) A war over mental health professionalism- Scientology versus psychiatry

More conquer and divide strategy. There shouldn't be any "scientology" nor any "psychiatry", nor any corporate fictional governments, nor any corporate fictional organized religions, nor any corporate fictional pharmaceutical companies, nor any corporate fictional courts, nor any corporate fictions of ANY kind, all of which are in BUSINESS to work AGAINST God and His Christ.

And no, that isn't a "massive overgeneralisation"; it is Biblical and historical FACT. But people today cannot envision a world without these worldly institutions, because this beast system of business has grown up all around them, and made merchandise of them.

Revelation 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war against it?

 

[A Freeman]

Is sow what you reap the same as karma?

According to God, yes.

I agree with the article, Christianity does offer forgiveness for the sin committed and in this life only (even though some consequences will remain).

"Christianity" is a lucrative, corporate fictional BUSINESS (Matt. 6:24), that has absolutely ZERO authority or power to forgive anyone of anything. Only God and The One Whom God Anointed, Appointed and Sent (His Christ) have the power to forgive sins (Mark 2:5-11; John 5:22).

Karma only brings condemnation and fear.

Says someone who obviously doesn't know what they're talking about.

When someone does good (God's Will), they have nothing to fear, as God will fill them with joy, wisdom and love, and healing from within, until their "cup runneth over".

 

[A Freeman]

It all depends on the situation.

No, it doesn't.

There isn't a one size fits all answer.

Yes, there is: God is THE Solution.

Specifically Faith that He is All-Powerful, Loving and our Healer, and can always make EVERYTHING better, IF we are doing His Will here on Earth, as it is done in heaven.

Matthew 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-fire.

Prevention is better than cure, but once cure is needed a person needs to seek help.

Agreed. And the best prevention is to do God's Will, which begins with His Law. It also happens to be the best and only cure for ALL ills, regardless of what Satan through his worldly institutions, corporate fictions and army of "experts" may say to the contrary.

 

[Red Sky at Morning]

This is a dramatic clip, but I believe it helps to illustrate. It looks like Gandhi also had this belief.

"A Way out of Hell" (Movie Clip - Gandhi)

I remember watching this clip years ago and feeling the emotional power of it!

In a sense, it sums up the promise of good works to cure a wounded conscience. I once listened to a great talk by Dick Keyes from L’Abri on Guilt and Shame. Guilt is a black and white, legal standard. If I have committed a crime, I am guilty. Shame is the shattered sense of self resulting from doing something awful, as in the case of this man.

Gandhi offers him a way to deal with shame, which is certainly a good thing, but consider this -

He remains guilty.

He still killed a child.

He needs more than good works alone can give him - he needs salvation. Paul sent Christians to their deaths, but when he met Jesus, he didn’t open an orphanage, he preached the gospel.

Total gibberish.

The organized religion (church) of Jesus' time here on Earth was Talmudic Judaism (the "Jews"). The leaders of that organized religion conspired with the Roman government (state) to murder Jesus.

Only people who don't actually believe in Scripture -- which covers virtually everyone in organized religion throughout history, including present-day -- would do such a thing. The "Jews" very obviously didn't believe the Bible, instead believing their "traditions" which make the Commandments of God of no effect (Matt. 15:3; 15:9). If the "Jews" had believed the Bible, they would not have murdered an innocent man.

John 7:19 Did not Moses give you The Law, and [yet] NONE of you keepeth The Law? Why go ye about to kill me?

The organized religion (church) of today that calls itself "Christianity" is exactly the same as their Jewish counterparts 2000 years ago. "Christianity" teaches an entirely different 'gospel' to that of Christ, as evidenced by the fact they advocate the breaking of The Law/Commandments of God, as if none of us have any personal responsibility for all of the evil we do to each other.

If Christ were standing before "Christians" today, in any human body, they too would call for Him to be crucified again today, as evidenced by this very thread.

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):

Please note well that among the organized religions, there is only one group of people on Earth that calls Christ "Lord" while refusing to do what He says: "Christians".

The “religious mindset” has always been and the “lure of legalism” never really leaves us.

Cain offered the work of his hands and Abel gave a sacrifice. It didn’t mean that Abel did no work.

It was the self-righteous Pharisees who opposed Jesus more than anyone and those who advocated the full return to the Law who opposed the gospel of grace given to Paul.

Before I had started reading TWHOFTF I was already aware that Gnosticism could be either legalistic or lawless, but I had only read about cults that were the obviously immoral ones.
At chapter 4:1 the legalism is apparent.

In the end, the deepest root of all is pride.

WE want to be our own saviour. We want to have accomplished the 40 day fast etc so we can be “like Jesus”.

Even the disciples had something of that mindset about them.

John 13:36-38 NKJV

36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward.”​

37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake.”​

38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times.​

It seemed like Peter wanted to save Jesus from the Romans, not realising that he had his limits and would soon fall, and need saving and forgiving himself. I like Peter because he wants to follow Jesus, falls on his face and carries on anyway.

 

[A Freeman]

The “religious mindset” has always been and the “lure of legalism” never really leaves us.

You NEED to understand the difference between what is LAWFUL according to God, and what is "legal" according to men.

God gave us His PERFECT Law of Liberty which, if followed, brings with it all of His Blessings, including the GIFT of the Holy Spirit.

Men have made their traditions "legal", i.e. they have "legalized" that which is unlawful, e.g. theft in the form of taxes, and murder in the form of war, etc., and they have made "illegal" that which is lawful, e.g. carrying out the lawful penalties for adultery, homosexuality, etc.

To further muddy the waters, Satan has used the leaders of the corporate fictional organized religion known as "Christianity" to con their paying customers into redefining obedience to God as "legalism", so that they can continue to break God's Commandments and teach others to do the same, making them the lowest of the low in God's Eyes (Matt. 5:19).

Cain offered the work of his hands and Abel gave a sacrifice. It didn’t mean that Abel did no work.

Abel (which means "the breath of Life") OBEYED God and brought the sacrifice that God Commanded, just as ALL of God's Servants -- the Prophets and finally Jesus -- have done.

Cain (which means "possessions") DISOBEYED God, and brought the sacrifice that Cain wanted to bring instead of what God COMMANDED, just as ALL organized religions have done, and are still doing today.

Out of anger/jealousy/rage, Cain slew Abel, i.e. "possessions slew the breath of Life".

It was the self-righteous Pharisees who opposed Jesus more than anyone and those who advocated the full return to the Law who opposed the gospel of grace given to Paul.

The pharisees did NOT advocate returning to The Law, because THE PHARISEES DID NOT KEEP/OBEY GOD'S LAW.

John 7:19 Did not Moses give you The Law, AND [YET] NONE OF YOU KEEPETH THE LAW? Why go ye about to kill me?

The self-righteous pharisees instead followed in Cain's footsteps, advocating that people needed them and their made-up rules and traditions (the Talmud) INSTEAD of God, just as ALL organized religion does and is still doing today. ALL organized religion OPPOSES Christ (THE Teacher), and the keeping of God's Law/Commandments (just as you do), Who unequivocally stated the following:

Matthew 5:17-20
5:17 Think NOT that I am come to destroy The Law, or the Prophets: I am NOT come to destroy, but to FULFILL [fully preach The Law (The Torah) and fulfill the prophecies about the first coming of the Messiah].
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no way pass from The Law, till all be fulfilled.
5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least COMMANDments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in The Kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in The Kingdom of heaven.
5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall EXCEED [the righteousness] of the scribes (lawyers) and pharisees (politicians), ye shall in no case enter into The Kingdom of heaven.

It is SELF-RIGHTEOUS "CHRISTIANS" who believe they are a law unto themselves, using their twisted, misinterpretations of the letters of Paul as an alleged excuse as to why they can continue disobeying God, just as Cain did. And these self-righteous "Christians" mistakenly believe that God is going to reward them for being criminals.

FACT: Paul NEVER did away with The Law, which Paul himself kept (Rom. 7:25), described as "holy, just and good" (Rom. 7:12), and was establishing everywhere he went (Rom. 3:31), knowing full-well knowing that there is no other way to teach faith and bring others to Christ (Gal. 3:24).

[A Freeman]

I just watched this while pondering your words
. Sometimes a short video is better than a long reply!

And sometimes a short video (8min) filled with half-truths and the opinions of men, is a colossal waste of time, whereas someone could read a post filled with truth in less than half the time (approx. 3.5min. at a leisurely pace).

Simple, truthful observations:

1. God cannot die . Period.
2. God didn't come in the flesh (Num. 23:19).
3. Christ, the SON of God, was sent by God to incarnate Jesus.
4. If "Christianity" was actually following Christ's Example and doing half as much good in this world as its paying customers like to brag about, then why is the world becoming more and more evil as the number of "Christians" increases?
5. Belief in God and in the Bible, and in the sacrifice that Christ made for us does not require being a member of the organized religion that calls itself "Christianity".

 

[Red Sky at Morning]

You ask a great question here:

“why is the world becoming more and more evil as the number of "Christians" increases?”

Certainly the world is becoming increasingly full of people who identify as something they are not, with the result of much confusion and wordy debate.

So…

Looking at John 3, what does being “born again” mean to you?

 

[The Sojourner]

I remember watching this clip years ago and feeling the emotional power of it!

Yes, it's very thought provoking. Gandhi gave the man who felt completely hopeless, condemned and lost because of what he had done, a very practical answer that showed him that he still had the opportunity to turn around and to do, what would help him to be able to put that past behind him, and good in the process. It's known that Gandhi had read the Gospel. It seems that Gandhi had grasped, that Christ preached not only to profess faith, but about the importance of putting faith into action, like when Christ taught about the wounded Samaritan:

Luke
10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt Live.
10:29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain [man] went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead.
10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked [on him], and passed by on the other side.
10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion [on him],
10:34 And went to [him], and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave [them] to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
10:37 And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

In a sense, it sums up the promise of good works to cure a wounded conscience. I once listened to a great talk by Dick Keyes from L’Abri on Guilt and Shame. Guilt is a black and white, legal standard. If I have committed a crime, I am guilty. Shame is the shattered sense of self resulting from doing something awful, as in the case of this man.

Gandhi offers him a way to deal with shame, which is certainly a good thing, but consider this -

He remains guilty.

He still killed a child.

He needs more than good works alone can give him - he needs salvation. Paul sent Christians to their deaths, but when he met Jesus, he didn’t open an orphanage, he preached the gospel.

Agreed, but Paul wasn't told that he could just sit around either. How must Paul have felt, about what he did. And then He was told by Christ, that from that point on, he would preach the very Gospel that he had in the past persecuted, and also serve the very community that he had persecuted, in a complete turnaround. From this point on, Paul had a lot of work to do, and we can read about how it wasn't easy, he was yet to endure a lot of hardship, was imprisoned, got shipwrecked, had to face many troubles in his task and even had to endure being stoned and bitten by a snake. Paul wasn't told that he could just sit somewhere in comfort, with held out open palms, and to just preach the Gospel without any action. He had to travel widely, and in the course of it was to face and endure a lot. So, one could look at all that, and see that he was clearly being led through it all, but he also ended up having to make up for his past actions, and in the course of it he had endured a great deal of sufferings for the sake of the Gospel, and the community, that he had before persecuted. So in what Gandhi told the man about knowing a way out of hell, did in fact hold the same principle. The man was told he would have to take action, in very similar principle to what Christ taught with the Gospel, and do what he could and had the opportunity to do, and to as much as he was able to, strive to make up for what he did in the past with the remaining time that he had, through good deeds.

Certainly the world is becoming increasingly full of people who identify as something they are not, with the result of much confusion and wordy debate.

So…

Looking at John 3, what does being “born again” mean to you?

Unsurprisingly, it means exactly what it says in Scripture.

1 John 3:8-10
3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth 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 BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; for His seed remaineth in him (Gen. 3:15): and he cannot sin, BECAUSE he is born of God.
3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever DOETH NOT righteousness is NOT of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

The reason the world is getting darker and more evil by the day, if not by the hour, is precisely because most people refuse to keep/obey God's Law, instead taking pleasure in unrighteousness, and preferring the darkness to the Light, because their deeds (works) are EVIL.

John 3:19-21
3:19 And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.
3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the Light, neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be revealed.
3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

 

[Maldarker]

Um no the reason its getting to be like it is is because GOD said it would get that way just before HIS return. Truth be told you had worse things going on during the western expansion of the USA for out right killings. Problem is you hear about it none stop today. But will it get worse yes because again read the bible. I bet freeman would have you think he is with out sin no one has asked that of him yet have they?

 

[A Freeman]

Christ, about our present situation, brought about because we haven't kept/obeyed God's Law, as Christ COMMANDS us to do (Matt. 5:17-20):-

Matthew 24:21-22
24:21 For then shall be great oppression, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the Elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

We have brought this evil on ourselves.

 

[The Sojourner]

Thinking of everything that Paul went through after he repented, it's no wonder that he was able to so confidently proclaim in Galatians:

Galatians
6:5 For every man shall bear his own burden (responsibility for sin).
6:6 Let him that is taught in the Word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, THAT shall he also reap.

Paul knew and understood this to be true, because of his own personal journey and experiences, but also including all the times that he experienced God's Mercy. He survived shipwreck, prison, even being stoned, and also when the snake bit him, but it caused him no harm.

Koran, Sura 2:196 ...And fear God, and know that God IS strict in punishment.

So, TWHOFTF is proven to be right on target, yet again. -

9:77 You are responsible for your actions and thoughts and words, and ONLY God can forgive
you, if you are GENUINELY sorry. Just because He may forgive you, it doesn’t mean that He won’t
punish you too. So you had better really live a good life.

The sooner we repent and start to pay back our Karmic debts by having faith and doing good works, the better:

13:77 You have to FACE your problems, ADMIT your weaknesses and faults, to YOURSELF and
to God, and overcome (Rev. 2:26) your problems, and pay your Karmic debts. Admit that you are
not perfect, and lose your ego, and the pain will go with it. If you were perfect you would not be
here. No-one else is perfect either, in fact, they are probably worse than you, but their egos would
never let them admit it, to you. They don’t need escapism, because they are happy, being bad.
13:78 Then ask God, with humility, to help you to overcome your faults and weaknesses, and put
on God’s Armour, and FIGHT your weaknesses, with His guidance, and overcome them; solve your
problems, by finding the solutions, and make your world bearable. If you do that, you will gain
(earn) some spiritual self-respect; through the victories, that God has helped YOU to win; and learn
to like the person, that God has helped you to become. Remember though, ALWAYS to remain
humble, because you could never have won alone.

 

[Red Sky at Morning]

Someone who strongly wishes to reject the true gospel and cling to salvation by works cannot be helped.

 

[The Sojourner]

Philippians
2:10 That at the name of the Saviour every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in Earth, and [things] under the earth;
2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Christ Jesus [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
2:13 For it is God Which worketh in you both to will and to do of [His] good pleasure.
2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the (adopted) sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
2:16 Holding forth The Word of Life; that I may rejoice in The Day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
