Our story – please read carefully – we may have some things in common you may not have expected!
- Notes:
- You may find a few grammatical errors. Please be forgiving. I am here to share truth, remain humble, and not looking for the wrong attention.
- I use ‘we’ and ‘I’ throughout as it applies in those we. My family (we) are all impacted, yet I lead us in scripture for our church related edification.
Like many families, we thought we were good Christian people (but outwardly, that idea must have been a true disgrace). Like many ‘Church People’; can be terribly mean when not in the church building or not part of your church. Ouch!
We truly thought we Loved God and Jesus and thought we were saved because, again, like many others are told, just “Invite Jesus into your Heart” (WRONG!)
I was on the road to becoming a Pastor of a church. Was nearly fully endorsed but was stopped when I learned that ‘Speaking in Tongues’ was required of myself, to be demonstrated before the entire congregation, as evidence of the Holy Ghost. Yes — this was approximately our 14th Church (you know, the Ole — trying to find a Good Church, for us), in which this time, I had landed in a Pentecostal church (which also used 5 different Bible Versions).
We later had left for a KJV Only Church, a Baptist Church (is similar to what I remember growing up, with). We were happy here-in at first. However, one day, when the preacher had one of those “Altar Calls“; I later realized I was bowing before a man, not my Lord. This frightened me and my family (as I had explained) that by my actions and I immediately felt betrayed by the church. It was at this point, we just sat at home and stopped going to church, altogether.
Frustrated because we were dying to learn the Word, but couldn’t understand enough of it. All we found were a few answers and 4 times the questions! No matter how hard I prayed, tried to read the bible, I ended also ended up focusing on the few verses I already knew (shamefully not very many to be over 45 years old) and nothing newer! It was at this time I purchased a brand new NKJV. My reasoning at the time: I wanted the KJV but I wanted what was New. I also heard it was easier to read! Again, WRONG!
My background is as a Sr. Information Systems Security Engineer . With my background, I wondered how I could better learn in the Bible, how could I best serve God, but then it hit me like a freight train: “Since many bibles are now On-Line, this means they digitally reside on someone else’s computer. With a local systems administrator, what is stopping that person from making changes to God’s Word?” Of course, the real answer is a big fat “NOTHING!” Given 30+ years in the field of InfoSec, this sent me into a research frenzy!
>> God took over from here. This is phase 2 of my journey which leads to this web site.
With a specially crafted search, the 1st result I found changed my life! I discovered in a YouTube video by one “David W Daniels” of Chick dot com (https://www.chick.com/authors/about?author=david+w+daniels), that God’s word has been under attack and changed multiple times. Later, I learned those Thee’s and Thou’s, and Ye’s were critically important (Note: These words translate into the word ‘You’ BUT, the word ‘You’ does not translate directly back!!)(That is to say, if it starts with a “T” it is singular and if it starts with a “Y” then it is Plural (often meaning ALL of you), that King James bible was on a 5th Grade Reading level by the Flesch-Kincaid scale (while NKJV was between 11th grade and college). I learned the History of Bible versions from expert “Samuel Gipp” (Refer to some of his findings: https://biblebelievers.com/Gipp/answer/gipp_answer_index.html). I then learned about a lady who has spent most of her life chasing Truth, starting with ‘In Awe of Thy Word – Gail Ripplinger’ https://avpublications.com/product/in-awe-of-thy-word/. Again, from Mr. Daniels (of whom we exchanged communications by email), my eyes were opened further. This was just the BEGINNING.
After discovering that Christmas was a Pagan Holiday (Jesus was born in the spring,, like all other ‘lambs’). I will do an entire page just on this, alone! I don’t know that I agree with everything written by the Author, but here is where I started: https://creationliberty.com/articles/christmas.php
Below is a HINT:
- Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Finally, I stumbled into 2nd Timothy 2:15 somehow.
- Now, while I have read this verse before, it finally dawned on me at some point. God does not say to READ his word, we are directed to STUDY!
- 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Tim 2:15 lead me to a specific YouTube Channel called “Believe the Bible”. I have forever been one in agreement with person. Give it a look, try the Shorts!
“Rightly Dividijng the Word of Truth” (https://www.youtube.com/@Believe_the_Bible/shorts). From this point, we found ‘our intended Gospel’, which has been hidden since before Creation! Praise the Lord!
Today – we find great comfort in the Gospel of Paul. No longer are we trapped with Lies of those in the church buildings! No longer are we paying Tithes for some preacher to lie and give false hopes just to have free money. We should NOT charge money to share God’s Word. Conditionally, we believe in donations if required – where ‘you’ believe applicable, I believe in a being cheerful giver, in general, whereas not everyone is blessed as others. No Longer will we be trapped thinking the Law of the Gospel of the Kingdom applies to us today. Peter and Paul did NOT preach the same Gospels
Gal 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
Gal 2:8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
More This Site:
- Designed for You – that you:
- Might be actually saved (as only the current Gospel can do). We hope to see you in the Clouds and in Heaven!
- Might better understand the word of God
- Realize you don’t need to look for a good church, we ARE the church, the Body of Christ, His Temple indeed! More to come on this matter, too. In the meantime, please consider 2nd Timothy 2:15 (Not all scripture is To us but it is all For us!).
- Created by myself but with my 13 y.o. Son who is now big into computers, coding, God, Scripture and wants to grow in the Lord so that 1 day he might lead his family, in that distant (distant, is my hope, as a Father/Dad) future.
