The Truth
Wednesday, December 31, 2014
Jesus is not an angel according to the word of God
Jehovah’s witnesses, Mormons and Seventh day Adventists teach
that Jesus is an angel.
Seventh day Adventists and Jehovahs Witnesses both came from
a group called the Millerites.
Jesus is not an angel according to the word of God
Hebrews Chapter one makes this very clear
Jesus purged our sins by Himself. Hebrews 1:3
Jesus sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High Heb.
1:3
God appointed the Son to be heir of all things Heb. 1:2
God made the worlds by His son Heb. 1:2
Jesus has a more excellent name than they angels Heb 1:4
Jesus is better than the angels Heb: 1:4
(not better than the “other” angels. He is not an angel. If he was, it
would have read “better than the other angels”)
See, right here is where a lot of 7th day Adventists
miss it. They have been so preconditioned to thinking Christ is an angel, they
subconsciously add the word “other”. The Jehovahs Witnesses actually alter
their scriptures and add the word “other” throughout these texts. This is not
surprising. Remember, they both sprang from the same group, the Millerites.
Only Jesus is called the Son. No other angels are Heb. 1:5
Only Jesus (not any angel) is begotten of the Father. Hebrews
1:5
He got his name through inheritance Heb 1:4
When Jesus was brought into this world, the angels
worshipped him at God’s bidding Heb. 1:5
Jesus’ throne is forever and ever. Heb 1:8
The angels are ministers Heb. 1:7
But Jesus is God! Heb. 1:8

An Open Letter to Pastors RE: ISIS CRISIS
Recently, three American Rabbis were shot and killed in their synagogue by Hamas. The Rabbis were praying for peace. They are survived by three widows and twenty-four children.
Recently Washington invited Muslims only to attend a private prayer in the National Cathedral. Since Muslims everywhere believe we are the great Satan, do I really believe that they are praying for peace? No one shot and killed these Muslims. On the contrary, only one protester was there.
She was a Christian woman who had driven all the way from Tennessee to make her voice known. Somehow she slipped into the service. She was not disruptive and she definitely did not harm anyone, however she did make her voice heard.
http://www.wnd.com/2014/11/christians-muslims-conquering-washington-national-cathedral/
She said something to this effect: We are a Christian nation, we serve our lord Jesus Christ. That cross over there is a cross like the one Jesus died on. This is a church. Even though we are Christians we allow you Muslims to build Mosques in our country. Why must you come in our churches to pray?
Again, she harmed no one and calmly stated the truth, yet she was forcibly removed from this Christian cathedral of our great nation. Conversely, the welcomed Muslims prayed everywhere with their faces to the ground Also, Muslims believe that when they pray on a piece of property, it becomes “sacred” and belongs to them
But perhaps the most important thing we need to remember is, these are the same people who have sworn that they would raise their Muslim flag over the White House. I think it’s time that we as Christians make our voices heard and take back America. After all, this is a Christian Nation and it was founded on Christian principles.

One of the amazing things to me is that this cross still exists in the National Cathedral. It would have been unfathomable to our forefathers to ever think that one day Christian prayer would be replaced with Muslim prayer and I think they would want us to do something about it.
That’s why this Sunday I’m encouraging all pastors to make this day different. I’ve decided to call it “Make a difference Sunday” because really, that’s what Christ has called us to do. But it doesn’t matter what you call it, the point is, we all have a pen and most of us can afford a stamp.

This Sunday I urge you to put the names and addresses of your area’s Senators, congressmen and representatives on the overhead of your church. Urge your parishioners to make a difference and write their representatives. You needn’t be “political” if that bothers you, you need only state the facts of what’s happening. Most people would write if they knew who to write, so make that plain and they will take action. But if you don’t tell them, they won’t know what’s going on. If you give them no CLEAR call to action they will not act. So this Sunday, I am asking you to please make a difference. Encourage your people to take a stand and make their voice heard.
Together, we can make a difference.

Where is your Lamb
Living Waters
"Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation"
I have a friend who is a Messianic Jew. That means, she is a Jewish woman who became a believer in Messiah. Now that she is a "completed" Jew, (i.e., she has accepted the One who came to save her, who is also himself a Jew,) I was wondering how her people, the Jews, dealt with the whole sin issue.
Her eyes flashed as she told me, if you want to rankle any Jew, just ask them one question: where is your lamb.
Oh come on Sandy, I told her. Surely there is some provision that Jewish people make for their sins. And of course I don't believe that we must sacrifice bulls and goats as the children of Israel did. After all, that's why Yeshua came. To be a living sacrifice to atone for our sins. And I know that Jewish people don't believe that. So, I asked her, since they don't sacrifice animals for their sin like they used to, what DO they do to address the sin issue.
Sandy explained to me that they have some sort of ceremony where they draw water out of some vessel, as mentioned in Isaiah 12:3 "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation". It's really cool, because when I looked this verse up, it reminded me of the account of Jesus with the woman at the well. Check it out:
John 4
King James Version (KJV)
When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
