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

[A Freeman]

The Gospel (Good News) warning delivered by Christ incarnated inside of Jesus:-

Luke 13:22-27
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 is risen up, and hath closed the door, and ye begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not nor where ye are from:
13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you NOT nor where ye are coming from; depart from me, ALL [YE] WORKERS OF INIQUITY.

iniquity (definition)

ĭ-nĭk′wĭ-tē
noun

1. Gross immorality or injustice; wickedness.
2. A grossly immoral act; a sin.
3. Lack of equity; gross injustice; unrighteousness; wickedness: as, the iniquity of the slave-trade.

What is sin?

1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also The Law: for sin is the transgression of The Law.

How then do we keep from being among those who work iniquity? The ONLY Way to do that is by keeping/obeying The Law/Commandments of God.

Matthew 19:16-17
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 callest thou ME good? [there is] none good but One, [that is], God: but IF thou wilt enter into Life, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.

This is the TRUE Gospel of Christ.

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".

How about you move to the new thread where your religion's unique teachings in chapter 4 are going to be looked at now?
The topic is YOUR ebook you advertise at every opportunity.

Since i see we're back to promoting marijuana, again, i will raise my question again:

According to jah, what are the "groves" mentioned throughout the old testament, which the people were instructed to burn down and destroy and are associated wih idolatry?

If my question goes completely ignored again by the jahtruthers then i will take that as confirmation that i am onto something....

Here's my original post with information about the "groves".

Yes, that (the part i've bolded) may be, but have you ever considered that there is a deeper spiritual implication as well?

You seem to be well versed in the teachings of jah truth. Tell us, what does jah believe the "groves" mentioned throughout the old testament refer to?

I went ahead and checked a good number (though not all) of the verses mentioning "groves" in the king of kings version, and sure enough, the word "groves" appears. But even if they had been referred to as "asherah", as the new versions do, it still would be referrring to the same thing. What are these "groves" that are often mentioned in connection with idolatry or apostasy?

What are “groves?”

WHAT ARE “GROVES?” by Shawn Brasseaux Friend, there seems to be much confusion as to what “groves” are in Scripture. Hopefully, we can make sense of this topic for you. THE KING JAMES BIBLE SPEAKS …

forwhatsaiththescriptures.org

The word “grove” appears 41 times in the Authorized Version. Before we look at these verses, we must note one exception. Genesis 21:33 contains the first occurrence: “And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.” This “grove” is in a positive light, as Abraham is a Bible believer. The Hebrew word is “’eshel” (Strong’s #H815), a tamarisk or myrica tree [Tamarix orientalis]. It was rendered “tree” in 1 Samuel 22:6 and 1 Samuel 31:13. This fact will prove useful to us later.

As for the remaining “grove” verses (40 in all), they are negative. We present them now, reminding you the reader to sense the associated evils:

• Exodus 34:13: “But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:….”
• Deuteronomy 7:5: “But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.”
• Deuteronomy 12:3: “And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.”
• Deuteronomy 16:21: “Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.”

• 2 Chronicles 31:1: “Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.”
• 2 Chronicles 33:3: “For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.”
• 2 Chronicles 33:19: “His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.”
• 2 Chronicles 34:3: “For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.”
• 2 Chronicles 34:4: “And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.”
• 2 Chronicles 34:7: “And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.”
• Isaiah 17:8: “And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.”

• Jeremiah 17:2: “Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.”
• Micah 5:14: “And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.”

Regarding the last 40 instances, it was the Hebrew word “Asherah” (Strong’s #H842). The term is defined as: “from H833 [happy]; happy; Asherah (or Astarte) a Phoenician goddess; also an image of the same:—grove. Compare H6253 [Ashtoreth, the Phoenician goddess of love (and increase)].”

These groves are associated with the worship of a phoenician goddess. Good kings of israel cut down the groves. What does this tell us about how God feels about these groves?


Marijuana is also associated with idol worship in india (this time to shiva the destroyer, who as i understand the elites pay devotion to)

The ‘holy' drug authorities ignore

The cannabis plant’s role in Hindu mythology has authorities turning a blind eye to India’s drug shops.

www.bbc.com

However, the most popular order at Pathak’s stall, known as ‘special thandai’, is made with a dash of freshly ground bhang, an intoxicant made from the leaves of the female cannabis plant.

Bhang has long been of cultural significance in India. In Hinduism, bhang takes on special meaning as the plant preferred by Shiva, the god of destruction, who was believed to have used bhang to focus inward and to harness his divine powers for the good of the world.

In the Atharva Veda, one of the four sacred texts of Hinduism, cannabis is named one of the five most sacred plants on Earth. The text also refers to it as a ‘source of happiness’ and a ‘liberator’.

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2016/03/07/469519964/shiva-is-a-god-who-likes-marijuana-and-so-do-many-of-his-followers

Shiva is one chill deity.

He's one of the three major gods in the Hindu religion. And he has a penchant for pot.

"Shiva loves marijuana. So we come to share Shiva's prasad [offerings] with everyone else," explains a 60-year-old holy man who gives his name as Radhe Baba.

It's the eve of the festival of Shiva Ratri, or "The Night of Shiva" — March 7 this year. The celebration marks the day Shiva saved the universe from darkness and married the goddess Parvati.

...

And they also smoke hashish. Marijuana smoke mingles with the bonfires. Both are symbols of religious devotion. Shiva, it's believed, used marijuana both to relax and to focus better for meditation.

That [smoking marijuana] makes us forget everything and we communicate with Shiva," 50-year-old Madhan Lal Baba says, sitting next to Radhe.

These people acknowledge that they are using it to communicate with something , and it's not the God of the Bible...

How much more evidence would be needed to show that consuming this plant is just as much sorcery - or idolatry, if you will - as taking pharmaceuticals?

It is incredibly hypocritical to label all life saving surgery or medicine "sorcery" while promoting a plant that pagans literally use to communicate with their false gods.

I've already speculated as to the motive:

Could it be that jah looks favorably on this because it causes, in some people at least, an "openness" to the kind of ideas he teaches?

It is incredibly hypocritical to label all life saving surgery or medicine "sorcery" while promoting a plant that pagans literally use to communicate with their false gods.

I've already speculated as to the motive:

Dictionary:

groves
Plural form of grove

grōv
noun

1. A small wood or stand of trees lacking dense undergrowth.
2. A group of trees planted and cultivated for the production of fruit or nuts.
3. A group of trees of indefinite extent, but not large enough to constitute a forest; especially, such a group considered as furnishing shade for avenues or walks; a small wood free from underbrush.

And read what the Bible says about them.

There is a place in America called the Bohemian Grove, where there is a giant owl statue (idol) in there hidden in the woods, where the so-called elites meet to commit abominations and offer sacrifices to their idol, which they believe, then relieves them of all the "care" in the world, for all the evils that they commit every year in order to subvert society.

It was exposed in the past by Alex Jones, who went there and secretly filmed them performing their satanic "cremation of care" ritual. So, yes, as you said it is associated with idolatry. Those people do not worship the One True God.

He then made a film about it, that you could watch if you wish. It's still on YT:

The fact that it was never taken down, shows that these people literally do not "care" if or that you and I know about it. They are quite open about it, calling it a "social club" but it's a real grove, with an idol in it. AJ only filmed them sacrificing what was said to be an effigy, but who knows what else happens there. One thing we can be sure of, it's pure evil.

The Bible is pretty clear, about what the groves were (and evidently still are) about - evil people congregating there to worship and make sacrifices to their false gods / idols.

To just also correct what you wrongly said in your post: JAH does not look favorably on it. However, that does not mean it is not allowed to be used as a natural medicine by people who are sick, if that is able to benefit them (for instance, if someone has cancer). We don't use weed and I know JAH tells people who have used it that they should stop using it and has helped multiple people to quit using weed. Hopefully this helps to answer your question @ToxicFemininitySucks

WHY PEOPLE REALLY TAKE DRUGS

A few "pleasant" effects of some drugs:


ALCOHOL - makes most of us "happy", initially, and creates the illusion of general friendship; others can be aggressive.

TOBACCO - calms nerves by relieving the craving it has created.

VALIUMS - remove (numb) the pain and revulsion at the world that we have created.

AMPHETAMINES - give us energy and intensity of thought.

CANNABIS - provokes short-term "peace of mind"; relaxation
and thought.

ECSTASY - provokes emotion that people think is joy and love.

L.S.D. - causes pleasure and a magnified appreciation of the awesome immensity of reality.

HEROIN - creates a "shield" or "bubble" that protects one from the "outside world vibes".

All the "pleasant" effects these drugs provoke are; in essence; things that CANNOT be found in the world or system we live in today. Some people, at least, desperately need to feel them. No-one goes around loving each other, we all walk around WARY of each other. When some-one sees the Divine in us (the Being) and smiles in recognition, we think: "What do they want from me?"

The world or system in which we've been brought up has taught us nothing in relation to these, our spiritual needs. Its only concern has been to teach us to want its products and to feed every want that we might have ("Self"-ish wants)* and ingrain the illegal hierarchy of the "System" deep within us. People who don't mind this "reality" are either VERY STRONG human+Beings, or, I'm sorry to say, humans deeply lacking IN ANY SPIRITUALITY WHATSOEVER.

* so we join the "rat race" to buy the system's products and consume; consume; consume and waste, thereby destroying ourselves; the planet and its natural resources.

Looking at it from a "God's Eye" perspective - all these drugs are "freely" available to any of us, in order to CANCEL the NEED for HIM (GOD). Drugs supply a very bad imitation, with very bad side-effects, of all that we feel when in DIRECT CONTACT with HIM (Love, Joy, Etc...).

Let's make no mistake - Satan / the Opposer / Evil (whatever you prefer) directs drugs at the more spiritual people to soothe the feeling that "something's not right with the world today" and prevent them from finally (after the heart-ache, sorrow and depression) DOING something about it (BEGINNING TO CHANGE THE WORLD) the system. That we cannot do this ("it's impossible") and that he doesn't exist, are 2 of the 3 biggest lies that the father of lies (the Devil) has ever told us. It is because we have believed his lies that we are in such a mess. The BIGGEST of these lies is that we are ONLY human.

The "comedown" that you feel when the effects of these chemical / physical, poor substitutes wear off, comes about because you have not used your WILL (your spirit or Being) to arrive at those feelings. You simply take the "quick and easy" human path which ALWAYS lets you down (when the drug's effect wears out). The more spiritually sensitive a person is, the greater the high, but also the greater the "comedown".

If we begin to will our way towards these BEAUTIFUL states of mind, it would then be a CONSTANT CLIMB (a PERSISTENT CONTINUAL RUSH) which will never reach its peak throughout ALL of ETERNITY. Multiply the good "feelings" drugs give by INFINITY and we begin to get an idea what HEAVEN is all about...

What will give us the impetus (the kick start) to do this is the TRUTH of why we are here on this planet and why it is so bad; why we don't just "feel good" all the time, why WE QUESTION in the first place (which is a very good question!) and knowing THE PLAN.

It is up to every individual to look for the answers wherever you want to, or right here, but please bear this in mind - make sure the ones you go to, provide you with the answers YOU are looking for and don't just provide you with THEIR OWN answers. If you believe the LIE that for some questions there is no answer, then you will never receive them: "Let him who seeks, not cease (stop) seeking until he finds, and when he finds, he will be TROUBLED (the Truth hurts...at first!), and when he has been troubled, he will MARVEL and REIGN over the ALL (he will know)" - Christ, in "The Gospel of Thomas" (The Doubter).

In this evil world, people give drugs to people in order to "remove" their drug problem?!! People, your drug-dependency or usage is the result of a CAUSE, a SPIRITUAL and NON-PHYSICAL cause. We aren't chemical-dependent, we are LOVE-DEPENDENT. We have been conned into believing that, by using something physical, our Spirits / Beings / Souls (the real us); which are non-physical Light / Essence; will feel better. With every comedown you feel WORSE and the next "high" is always LOWER. The only permanent solution is to learn how to use your will-power, not only so you "don't take drugs", including pharmaceutical ones, but primarily to water the vast spiritual desert inside every one of us and fulfill the very reason for our existence.

The positive grove that Abraham planted was obviously a natural grove of trees.

The negative (unnatural, man-made) "groves" that the Israelites were COMMANDED to destroy, were the temples/churches that were built with human hands (Acts 7:48; 17:24), to engage in the idolatrous worship of the non-existent "queen of heaven" (’ă-šê-rê-hem / ‘aš-tō-reṯ, etc.).

Asherah/Ashtoreth is known by many names. She is the Roman goddess Diana, aka Inanna (Sumer), Ishtar (Akkad & Babylon), Ashtoreth (1 kings 11:5)/Astarte (Syria), Isis (Egypt) Aphrodite/Artemis (Greek). She was of Babylonian origin.

Source: http://goddessschool.com/projects/dianavan.html

Today, Ishtar/Easter is worshiped in every "Christian" church, many of which have Easter egg hunts for the children before or after the Sun-day service. That is how "Christianity" incorporated the Babylonian practices of sun-worship on Sun-days and of idolatrous worship of the Babylonian "queen of heaven" Ishtar/Easter into their organized religion. What do eggs and bunny rabbits and Ishtar/Easter egg hunts have to do with the resurrection and crucifixion of Jesus?

This is why God COMMANDED that the "groves" (churches/temples/mosques/synagogues, etc.) be destroyed. It's also why Christ plainly stated that only heathens and hypocrites go to such places, to be seen by others (Matt. 6:5-8).

It's also why we can be absolutely certain that the one instance of the Greek word "pasha", which is correctly translated as "PASSOVER" the other 28 times in the New Covenant/Testament, has been WRONGLY translated in the KJV as "Easter" in Acts 12:4.

Of course this error in Acts 12:4 has been corrected in the King of kings' Bible, where "pasha" appears as God's "Passover", instead of pagan Ishtar/Easter, exactly as it should be.

The negative (unnatural, man-made) "groves" that the Israelites were COMMANDED to destroy, were the temples/churches that were built with human hands (Acts 7:48; 17:24), to engage in the idolatrous worship of the non-existent "queen of heaven" (’ă-šê-rê-hem / ‘aš-tō-reṯ, etc.).

Asherah/Ashtoreth is known by many names. She is the Roman goddess Diana, aka Inanna (Sumer), Ishtar (Akkad & Babylon), Ashtoreth (1 kings 11:5)/Astarte (Syria), Isis (Egypt) Aphrodite/Artemis (Greek). She was of Babylonian origin.

Today, Ishtar/Easter is worshiped in every "Christian" church, many of which have Easter egg hunts for the children before or after the Sun-day service. That is how "Christianity" incorporated the Babylonian practices of sun-worship on Sun-days and of idolatrous worship of the Babylonian "queen of heaven" Ishtar/Easter into their organized religion. What do eggs and bunny rabbits and Ishtar/Easter egg hunts have to do with the resurrection and crucifixion of Jesus?

This is why God COMMANDED that the "groves" (churches/temples/mosques/synagogues, etc.) be destroyed. It's also why Christ plainly stated that only heathens and hypocrites go to such places, to be seen by others (Matt. 6:5-8).

It's also why we can be absolutely certain that the one instance of the Greek word "pasha", which is correctly translated as "PASSOVER" the other 28 times in the New Covenant/Testament, has been WRONGLY translated in the KJV as "Easter" in Acts 12:4.

Of course this error in Acts 12:4 has been corrected in the King of kings' Bible, where "pasha" appears as God's "Passover", instead of pagan Ishtar/Easter, exactly as it should be.

So you are happy to discuss what is on the *website* but not the book?
That actually makes sense.
