I was on your side of the fence only a few short years ago. Believing exactly as you now do. And, until Almighty God drew me,nothing in the Bible made much sense to me. I thought as you do, Why would God do this or that, it doesn't seem fair. If God is all loving why. I could give recite all the standard Christian explanations, but most of that stuff is just plain wrong. It comes straight out of Constantine's playbook. Constantine was a war-monger, a murderer a tyrant and as far as I'm concerned, an agent of satan. And he was the father of Roman Catholicism. And if you don't know it, that is a religion of deception. And so, Christianity was bent to the will of One evil man, and his mother. While the Hebrew religion was nearly irradicated, and that which survivived, is not the same religion as was authored by God thru Abraham.
But putting that aside, all modern Christian religions have their roots in the RC church. And because of that, they are nearly as corrupt as their parent church.
So I get where you are coming from, as I was right there with you, only a few years ago.No one could change my mind, and no one can change yours. Only God can help you change your mind, and you have to ask Him to.
I must have read the Bible a dozen times and never got a thing out of it. That's because, it was not written for the unbeliever. God specifically says, that He put a veil over it, that you have to want to desire to know God from deep inside you, to understand it, and the desire has to be put there by God Himself. Many Bible scholars who have studied that Book, and come to understand it quite well, yet never Believed.
In the Book, it is written, no one comes to the Cross unless God draws him.
You might think, that is just plain wrong. But you don't understand that we are God's creation. We are His. You don't understand that this life here on Earth is
just a test.
A test to see who will willingly bow the knee and call Jesus king; and will come to death's door with a rebellious heart, and on Judgement Day will be FORCED to the same position, and then destroyed forever.
It's just a test.
A test to separate the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the tares, God's children from the seed of satan. There is no in-between.
It's just a test.
But the test, if you capitulate, has benefits in this world. As Believers we have the Promises of Abraham. One of which is freedom from the diseases of the Gentiles. It's real simple, if we follow God's rules, making Jesus our King, we have the RIGHT to be BLESSED, and Health is just one of the blessings.
The problem is, the Promise is in the Old Testament, and Christians mostly don't go there, deceived into believing that the OT was done away with at the Cross. So they never or rarely read about the Promises. Their pastors are not likely to preach it. In fact mine told me bluntly, They don't go there unless it is tp hammer home a lesson that originates in the New Teatament.
So Christians get sick, just as the heathen's do. They suffer pretty much the same divorce rate, and addictions to pornography, to pedophelia, etc; and by and large they are NO lights to the World. The religion has become corrupted; and it started with Constantine, as far as I can figure out.
So; the best thing I ever did was to break free from the sick and dying Christian church, and start reading the Bible again. Because one day, I tripped over those verses that said No one comes to the Cross unless God draws him. And the Word finally came thru the veil.
After that God wouldn't take no for an answer, and I really battled it, but God kept after me, and I finally gave up the old life I so much valued and loved. I mean, I was not a particularly bad person, but there was certainly very little good in me.
Soon I was baptized, and that is when my life changed; not in an instant mind you, but God put a hunger in me to read the Bible again, with my new Holy-Spirit filled eyes, and my new Spirit-led heart. I didn't even know it had happened to me, I just knew I had to read the Word.
Then one day I I woke up. I read Faith comes by hearing , and hearing the Word of God. So I read the Word out loud.And the veil parted some more. And my life changed forever.
Ok now as to your question
If you don't already know it; where is God, and where is His Son, and who exactly is in charge down here?
The answers are; When Jesus arose on the Third day, He still hung around here for several weeks, but on Pentecost He swapped homes with the Holy Spirit, at the invitation of His Father, who boomed from His Home in "Heaven" saying; "Come up hither and sit at my right hand." So neither one of them is down here since that Day.
And satan was given dominion down here, to do his best to deceive the masses. But God put into every person, an awareness of Him, and you can break free from satan's rule. You can get your DNA changed, by inviting God to save you from the destruction, that is your current destiny. God wants you. He sent His son to suffer and die in your place.
People are sick because it is in satan's power to make them sick. And they die for lack of knowledge, that they don't have to be sick. Science has brought them to this place as the new god of this world. Science teaches all manner of lies and deceptions, and out of ignorance, or laziness, or lack of desire, the citizens of this World take the broad path that leads to destruction.
So it is not GodAlmighty who allows people to be sick; God is not here. It is not Jesus who allows people to be sick; He is not here.
It is satan that makes us sick, because it is his right to do so. It is his right and greatest love to steal kill and destroy. Because the more people he kills, or turns aside from Salvation, the longer he gets to exist before his time in the abyss begins. He is fighting desperately to continue to exist for as long as possible.
So put this;
on satan where it belongs.
Then get on God's side, get some FAITH, then learn your rights and claim them;; it's just that easy. This plan is in the Old Testament. Paul preaches on it, but Paul is sometimes hard to understand.
Another thing you have dominion over is your body. I never got it until I got baptized. IDK if it's like that for every Believer. But once I got it, I talk to it. Rather I talk to whatever spirit is attacking it. You know where evil-spirits come from? Ok I'll tell you another day. Evil spirits put symptoms on you to emulate a disease. You can tell they are real, cuz; say you are sick with something, and you cannot figure it out, and no medicine is working. Well the Bible program is to go to the elders, have them anoint you with oil, lay hands on you, and command that evil spirit to come out of you. Ok now the Bible assumes the elders are connected to God, in that they know what the heck to do . Just try to find two elders today, that know how to battle principalities, powers , dark and evil forces; just try. There may be one here or one there, IDK, but if they were we would hear about it. No, I find them in the community. I bump into them. I hear a rumor. I ask around. And I ask pretty much everybody I meet. If we are on the same page, we have Bible Study right there where ever we are. If the person is not on the same page, I throw out bait, and if he bites, we talk. But occasionally I meet an angry person, who wants nothing to do with God, and there is no way I can reach him. The point is this; the elders are the Believers walking around in plain site looking for to help people; they are usually ex-church goers, because their pastor was preaching to itchy ears, and never got to the meat. Believers crave the meat. We're done with milk and pablum.
So anyway, you go find TWO Believers to do what God said to do, and badaboom you get your cure. You don't even have to be a Believer yourself, it is the FAITH of the Elders who follow the God given plan, that do the work, in the PROPER name of the Son of AlmightyGod. God said it. God cannot lie. The cure is usually instant. That's how you know it was an evil spirit; you are sick to; you once were sick; in a blink of an eye. The first time you get a super-natural cure, your FAITH will explode! And you will never again doubt that God exists. You will probably not ever see him, for it is written that no man has seen him. But He will make Himself known all the same. You just gotta stay alert.
After you get on God's side, and you get a measure of Faith, then you can start to proclaim dominion over your own body. Now we're back to testing. Except now, it is written; God tests those that say they love Him.
Who are they that love Him? The answer is in Book of John, where God speaking says " if you love me you will obey my Laws and Commands".
Christians love to qualify their faith with things like;
Lord if it is your will that I be cured then take this illness off me. That is the laziest most useless prayer you can make, because, when no cure comes they can say; " oh well, I guess it wasn't God's will. That's a lie and a trick of the devil. Jesus already suffered your illness and died in your place, so of course your cure is His will. But you prayed wrong!You're a double-minded person. And God Says; Let not that double-minded man think he will receive anything from God. You gotta be a Believer, or be connected to a Believer. Or the Holy Spirit might just cure you because; just because. Probably because God has a plan for you, but nobody knows; it just happens.
Or they sit around the camfire having a pity-party, begging God time after time after time. That is not the plan. Nowhere in the Bible do we read that we outta beg God for a cure. No, Jesus put the ball in our court and said " greater works than these shall you do, because I go to the Father. He's saying and I paraphrase; " I'm outta here, now you do what I taught you to do". Which was; Believe,Have Faith, be of One mind, Ask anything in my name, and I will do it!. This was to be done AFTER Jesus left. So the ball is in our court.
So the key is in knowing the name of the only begotten Son of AlmightyGod..
And therein is the deception.
The Son's name is NOT Jesus. There was never a J in the Hebrew alphabet until about the time the KJV came out. Jesus is a transliteration of the Greeks name for the Son, which was Iasus. or Iaesus I forget. But Mary (not her real name either), never gave her Son a Greek name, so Iaesus wasn't it either. No Mary gave her Son a Hebrew name, and God put power into THAT name. After much searching, and you can search it out for yourself, I have settled on the Fact that God's name, before the KJV was written YHWH. And in the OT he was occasionally called Yah. Also in the OT, God practically screams at us saying " Tell me if you can; what is my name, and what is my son's name?" Elsewhere He says His name is in the Son's name. So The Son's name has to have YHWH in it as well, and be at least one letter longer than YHWH.
Now I ask you, do you see YHWH in the word Jesus? Or even in the word Ieasus? No of course not. So if you're with me, you will know that something fishy is going on in your KJV. Over 7000 times AlmightyGod's name was removed from it, and the space filled in with LORD. That is problem #1. Problem #2 is is this; who is LORD. LORD is the title of Ba'al, another name for satan, or the devil, the serpent of old. Go ahead study it out. Once you know this, you will never again pray to LORD. And is it any wonder your prayers are not answered.
Mark; if you were in a crowded room, and you heard a stranger shouting to you from across the room saying Johnny, Johnny, come sit with us and share our supper. How would you respond? Your name is not Johnny, and the Son's name is not Jesus.
We already know that God has a name, and that He wants us to call Him by it. And we have seen that part of it is Yah, and all the consonants are YHWH, so that makes it YaHWH , no J so forget Jehova, there was also no V in the Hebrew alphabet until it got the J. So Jehova is impossible.
Part of the proof of God's name comes from the names given to the prophets before the KJV came along. All the ones that King James authorized to end in iah, before that time ended in yahu, so Jeremiah was Yerimy-yahu, Nehemiah was Nehimy-yahu. The Yahu denotes of God. So Jeremiah meant Yerimy of God and so on. God gave them these new names.
So now we have Yahu, and WH
Smarter men than me filled in the blanks to Yahuwha. Notice the YHWH. Because, they say, Yahuwha means I am he who breathes Life. When Moses asked God Who shall I say sent me, The KJV sanswers with " I am that I am. The Italics denote that that word was added to the KJV, so it was never in the scrolls. What was there, was just; I am, I am; no that and no punctuation. As in the second I am was there for effect. IDK but I read that in Hebrew all vowels are deleted so in the original scrolls, I'm speculating that all that was there was "a-a" which could just as easily been translated " Yahu, Yahu. Remember, I' speculating.
In any case, I now use Yahuwha in my prayers.
And if that is true;
It is well acknowledged, that min the scrolls; the same word that is translated Joshua, is also translated Jesus, what a krok the KJV translaters were.
Joshua, with the J returned to Y, and without the vowels is Ysh. Elsewhere I found that this might have been translated Yahoshua, or Yashuwha, or Yeshuwha. I any case you can see the obfuscation with all the Ws and Hs and the roaming S .
IMO, the most trustworthy to me source, says the Son's name is Yahuwsha. Take the vowel out; and you get YHWSH. Now recall that God said; "my name, (YHWH) is in the Son's name!"
So I tried it
And got instant results. That was all the proof I needed.
Jesus said; " ask anything in my name and I will do it."
The Christians either missed this, or somebody is holding back,or satan has his mark in the KJV.
I submit it is probably all three.
And perhaps there is a Fourth. But that, is, another story.
So, Mark, if you're still with me;
I dare you to switch camps, get on God's side, get some FAITH, and start using the name. You will never want your old life back.
For me that was 1994. I'd rather be murdered, slaughtered, or be a martyr for Yahuwsha, than to have my old life back.
Caution, the first time you use the name, and it works!, close you mouth, and bite your tongue, else a string of old-life words might come out,lol.
