“Isolation and its ill effects”

As worshipers of God we all need others to congregate with.  In the book of proverbs there are warnings for those who isolate themselves from others.  At proverbs 18:1 the New World Translation of the Holy scriptures reads, “One isolating himself will seek his own selfish longing; against all practical wisdom he will break forth.” One Christian brother who chooses to remain nameless says that “When I am isolated sometimes I watch a lot of pornography. This would make me want to emulate certain things I saw on the videos and it would later lead to me experimenting with persons in fornication (sex outside of marriage). Some of the perverse things I would see tended to become the norm for me. Due to the free sites on the internet I could watch all sorts of outrageous scenes that I would find amusing.  This would also lead to masturbation which is a bad habit. (Masturbation saps energy that can be vital even though the release of endorphins can help one to sleep better). My selfish longing got so bad that I even resorted to paying for sex.” At Galatians 5:19,20,and 21 we see that fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God. Uncleanness and loose conduct are also spoken of as some of the works of the flesh that Jah disaproves of. (Jah being the shortened name for Jehovah) Masturbation leads to being unclean many times.

Satan would love to prey on the isolationists of the world.  This is why we all need brothers and sisters to congregate with. Satan is described as a roaring lion seeking to devour someone in the bible. Through prayer and bible reading we can defeat Satan. He knows he only has a short period of time before the end to try and deceive us all.  If you like the messages in this article and past articles then start a wordpress page online and comment.  If you are unclear about any of the things written in this newsletter and you would like clarity, leave a comment and we will get back to you.

“Is there a true religion” part 2

There are many different religions in the world. Some claim to have the truth, others just operate with faulty doctrines and really just exist to extract money from the masses.  The only religion I know that claims to be the “truth” is Jehovahs Witnesses.  They have made mistakes in the past that make them look bad, such as predicting the end of the world. They said it would end in 1914. Meanwhile the bible teaches that the end would come like a thief in the night. That is what the Christ said. This means the end would come when we least expect it.  Their leaders also told followers that they would ascend to heaven on a certain date but this never happened.  This makes persons wonder about the religion. In a recent Watchtower magazine an article claimed that their governing body does not claim to be inspired so they are capable of making mistakes.  One might ask, If they are not inspired then why are they dispensing spiritual food to the masses in an organization that claims to be the truth.

The Witnesses teach a lot of good from the bible but some of their flaws are hard to explain. Seventh day adventist teach a lot of positive things also but they are flawed because they still follow the sabbath. True Christians are not obligated to follow the sabbath. It is part of the law. We are supposed to look towards Christ as opposed to the law (examine Hebrews chapter 10, also examine Galatians 3:24,25).

I would talk about other religions but there are too many so called Christian religions to examine from Catholic to Protestant religions.  There can only be one true religion.  That religion must follow the God of Abraham, and Moses. This Most High God gave his name to Moses in the form of four Hebrew letters.  Some interpret the name to be Yahweh and some call Him Jehovah. Both names are acceptable.  The name means He causes to become.  Any religion that does not praise this God is false. I am skeptical of all the religions of the world. We should all be skeptic. After all it is written that Satan would be misleading the entire inhabited earth Revelation 12:9.  All we can do as Truthseekers and Christians is to keep seeking the Most High Gods direction and read his word plus pray daily, knowing that we are all sinners and none of us are perfect. When we learn the word then we are obligated to speak the word to others. Jesus the son of God commanded his followers to go and make disciples of peoples of all nations, teaching them to observe all things he commanded (examine Matthew 28: 19,20)

One thing is certain according to prophecy. God of heaven will eventually set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. That kingdom will crush and put an end to all other kingdoms. This Godly kingdom will remain forever (see Daniel 2:44). We want to be in good favors with God at that time so that we can either reap the blessings of paradise on earth or ascend to Heaven (see 2 Peter 3:13). As I have said before one thing is certain. In the end we will have a choice of either following Jah Jehovah or being destroyed and there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. Some will get life others will get judgement by God. Keep reading the bible daily and praying. Continue to seek the truth and the kingdom.(Matt. 6:33) This is a message by the Truthseeker and Truthspeaker organization. We are not a part of the Watchtower bible and tract society.

The Truthseeker and Truthspeaker newsletter vol.14

This is the newsletter of wisdom and current events.

Subject “Should you believe in a trinity?”

Many God fearing persons believe in a Trinity of God (Jehovah), Jesus, and the Holy Ghost (or holy spirit). Some believe that Jesus and Jehovah are the same. What does the bible teach? At John 1:1 it reads In the beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God and the Word was God, in many bible translations.  If Jesus is known as the Word, and he and God (Jehovah) are the same being why does it say the Word was with God?

No being that we know of lives as two beings. In other words no being that we know of can be with itself. This is just some scriptural evidence that Jehovah and Jesus have distinct personalities. According to the scriptures Christ also prayed to the Father on at least one occasion  thus showing that him and Jehovah are two separate beings. At Matt.26:39 it reads: And going a little way forward, he fell upon his face praying and saying: “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me.  Yet, not as I will, but as you will.”

The word Trinity does not even appear in the Holy Bible. The trinity seems to have become a part of Christian worship because of pagan influence and Platonic logic.

Does the bible teach that the Holy spirit or what some call the Holy Ghost is a person? Nowhere in the Holy Bible is a name designated to the Holy Spirit. In fact the scriptures indicate that the Holy Spirit is Gods active force which he uses to accomplish things. In other words Gods energy. Not some individual Ghost working on its own.

I hope that I have clarified the issue of the trinity and whether these three are one.  Please leave a comment and I will try to respond promptly.

 This is the newsletter of current events and wisdom.

There is a rumor about a meteor that should be hitting the earth later this month around the 24th of September.  The person whom I heard the rumor from thinks that billions may become casualties. According to this source the Russians were clued in about the meteor and they tried to shoot it down in outer space but failed. This source also claims that the meteor may hit near the gulf of mexico. I have yet to do extensive research so I do not know all the propaganda out there about this but I am working on it. Check back on this site for an update or do your own research. It is worth checking out. I may be getting a plane ticket out of the country soon.

Is there a secret underground war going on?

I was informed about an underground war going on between the U.S. and aliens from another planet a while back. There are videos on youtube about this that you can check out. One video is “Base Dulce and the Underground alien war”. There are videos on secret underground tunnels etc. (check under D.U.M.B.). There are supposedly underground bases and superspeed railways that move at mach speed. Check the youtube video “The Alberino analysis” and you will see a lot on the underground bases and railways in dept. People have speculated for years about whether there are alien lifeforms out there. May the speculation continue.

Secret Societies

We have to pay attention to the secret societies of the world. I have recently come into contact with persons who claim to be a part of secret societies and I have read some info online about secret societies that is very interesting.

Some people believe there is a secret society known as the Illuminati who are trying to run the world and they are using celebrities and politicians to help promote their cause. Some people believe that the president is an Illuminati member and that the Illuminati is responsible for handpicking most of the past presidents of the U.S.  If you go to youtube and search for Wesley Veras; On his site you will see that he has some interesting things to say about the Illuminati.  If you also search under “Illuminati sellouts exposed” on his page you will see some shocking things in his video. He has some info about the Rothschild family and David Rockerfeller that is interesting.

Revelations chapter 13 speaks about wild beasts.  Persons who interpret the bible have identified these beasts as being governments.  Revelations is a symbolical book. Not everything is literal.  Many of the things spoken of in Wesley Veras’s article remind me of things spoken of in revelations.

The Illuminati is supposed to be composed of many powerful persons in the world. In the article “Illuminati sellouts exposed” it says that many powerful persons meet at a certain site on the West Coast to discuss certain secretive things. These people were the who’s who over powerful people worldwide. Why is there so much secrecy.

According to the article many celebrities pose showing devilish hand signs for some strange reason. Does this show their allegiance or are they just trying to be fashionable is the question. Some celebrities shown were Jay-z, Beyonce, Lady gaga, and Rihanna, amongst others.

I recently came in contact with a person who claimed to be one of the Skulls also.  Another secret society.  There are movies out about the Skulls and they appear to be very wealthy. I have heard a little about the Skulls.  If you are a God fearing person and you come in contact with a person who claims to be a part of a secret society, you should remember that they may be wealthy and it may seem cool to be aligned with them but that does not mean that they are doing Gods will. If you are interested in doing Gods will then read Ecclesiastes chapt.12:13 and Matthew 6:33 and Matthew 28:19,20. You cannot take riches from this world into God’s Kingdom. Do not try and slave for riches. Seek to do what your heavenly father wants for you.

                                                     Who’s world is this?

While unsuspecting people are unaware of the perils of this world we live in.  According to Gods word the bible we live in a world that is occupied by demons, which are spirits that we cannot see that manipulate the world. Spirits are not actual physical people.  They are creatures that we can’t see but we need to be aware of.  Many God fearing persons are aware of some of the things that are about to be exposed in this article. They have been documented in past truthseeker newsletters.  The title of this article is who’s world is this and many God fearing persons understand that we live in a world ruled and deceived by the devil Rev.(12:9).  At Revelations 12:9 it says “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil,and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him”  If you notice, it says that he deceiveth the whole world, not just part of it, but the whole world.  There are many ways that the world has been deceived.  Satan uses false religion to distract persons trying to live a Godly life.  In the scriptures false religion is called Babylon or Babylon the Great in some bibles.  It is described as a harlot. At Rev.17:5 it says, “And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery,Babylon the Great, The Mother of Harlots And Abominations of the Earth.” At Revelations 18:4 it says “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

False religion or Babylon is supposed to receive plagues from God eventually. At Rev.18:8 it says : “Therefore shall plagues come in one day, death and mourning, and famine: and she shall be utterly burned with fire: For strong is the Lord who judgeth her.”  Therefore knowing this we should try to stay away from false religion as it is dangerous to be a part of and we do not know when plagues will come. We are supposedly living in the last days and we do not know exactly when the last day itself will be. We want to be alert however so that we do not have the plagues fall upon us.

There are other aspects of this world that Satan and his demons use to mislead persons. Entertainment can be destructive if we let ourselves get influenced by the wrong things. Music and movies are very influential especially to children and we need to stay aware of that. They can be destructive to the minds of adults too if we allow ourselves to be immersed in it excessively. Be careful what you put into your mind.

Materialism can also be a lure that Satan uses to grab the attention of greedy persons. Money is very necessary for protection but we should guard against being too desperate for it. Lusting after riches can lead to all sorts of evil.  Let us keep our eye simple and focus on kingdom goals. At Mt.28:19,20 it says ” Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Due to this command given from Jesus, many persons such as myself feel obligated to speak the word of God to others. After all this is a command from the messiah.

Truthseeker and truthspeaker forum: What do you think about weed in todays society?

Marijuana has been praised by some for it’s medicinal purposes and denigrated by others who view it as a hallucinogen and gateway drug.  It is now being legalized in many states.  In California it is legal to sell it and use it privately. Many other states are legalizing marijuana too. Weed can be used in liquid form or smoked. As a medicine it is said to be good for treating glaucoma, stress and other ailments. When it is abused however, it is said that weed kills brain cells, slows down the maturing process, and some say that it can also cause cancer. So what is your view on weed today? The forum is open. You are welcomed to start a wordpress page and comment.

                                                   Guard against fornication

In Gods word the bible, fornication or sex outside of marriage is constantly spoken of as something that Godly people should stay away from.  Fornication can lead to many harmful things, such as std’s, unwanted pregnancies, and marital distress Col.3:5, 1 Cor.6:13.

Pagans and persons who do not follow the bible are more likely to commit fornication because they do not follow Gods laws.  Reading the word daily will make a person more conscious of what they are doing.  We must all recognize that Gods laws in the bible are actually there to protect us. Std’s can lead to miscarriages, all sorts of pain, etc.  Yahweh or (Jehovah) does not wish for us to suffer. This is why he warns us about fornication in His word.  Once again, fornication can also lead to unwanted pregnancies, and marital distress.  It is in our best interest to heed Gods word and stay away from promiscuous persons.  At 1 Corinthians 5:11 the scriptures say that you should “quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother who is a fornicator”.  Many religions have laws set up for their members to eliminate or quarantine persons who disobey their laws.  The bible clearly states that fornicators should be removed from Christian congregations 1 Cor.5 :13.

One thing to note is that the scriptures are not saying to condemn all persons of the world who fornicate, or to try and avoid them at all costs 1 Cor.5:10.  A person would have to actually get out of the world itself in order to do that.  The scriptures say to avoid “brothers” who are fornicators.

We should keep in mind that although a brother in the faith may fornicate or have sexual relations outside of the marriage, Yahweh is a forgiving God Jas. 5:15.  He forgives many times and He is loving.  Through repentance or hard work a person can work their way back into favor with God.  Prayer can definitely help with the situation.  Also when a spiritual brother is having a problem of this nature we should not be harsh towards them or try to make ourselves seem overly righteous.  We should try to be understanding and realize that we are all still sinners and that none of us are perfect Rom. 5:12.  At Romans 5:12 it says “That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned_.” Yes, none of us are perfect so we should not try to look down on others for stumbling.

We hope that this article has been beneficial to you and that you have gained from it. We urge you to set up a wordpress page so that you can comment and speak about the articles even if you disagree with something written.  We do not learn from one another by being ignorant.  You can also see past Truthseeker newsletter/blogs by clicking on the archives on the right of this web page. Amen and God bless.

The Truthseeker Forum

We posted that we would be discussing such topics as “Should a man have more than one wife?” etc. recently.   As far as the topic of Polygamy goes, it is known that most Christian religions do not practice polygamy. However men of God having more than one wife was tolerated by God in the past so, is it okay today? In the days of the old testament after Adam Godly men took more than one wife and God (Yahweh or Jehovah the God of Abraham) even instituted measures to assure proper relations in such instances by Mosaic law.  Even back then however, Gods followers (men) saw that this was not an easy task though.

It is said that Jacob became a polygamist because of deception by his father in law.  The Bible tells of the unhappy rivalry between his wives at Gen.29:18-30:24.  When a man takes more than one wife it can become stressful because of the bickering back and forth between wives. This should be taken into account. Even  Abraham for example had problems with his wife when he chose to marry and sleep with his wives maidservant. Sarai actually requested that Abraham do this because she was having trouble conceiving a child.  This decision led to a lot of friction in his household as well. Gen.16:1-4.

Because of fornication or adultery, accumulating wives can be detrimental in many cases.  You might have a lot more plates of food but the stress or consequences may just not be worth it (also take into account std’s).  It is also well known that Solomon had many wives and concubines.  In doing so he was in violation of Gods law at Deut.17:17 which is part of the law, there it says in regards to the king,” He should also not multiply wives for himself, that his heart may not turn aside; nor should he increase silver and gold for himself very much.”  Because of the influence of foreign wives, Solomon eventually turned from following God (Yahweh or Jehovah) and ended up worshiping false gods and doing what was bad in Gods eyes.  1 Ki. 11:1-9.

The New Testament of the Bible written for Christians has many scriptures indicating that God wants his servants to have one mate.  (1 Tim.3:2,12) At 1 Cor.7:2 it says “yet, because of prevalence of fornication, let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband.”

That concludes this topic this time around. The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures was used when referencing the bible for this article.  We hope it was informative and insightful for you all and we would like to see your comments on these topics.

 

Tattoo Marking, is it for you and what does God think of it?

Many religious persons choose not to cover their bodies in tattoo marking.  This is probably because of what it says at Lev.19:28.  There it says, “And you must not make cuts in your flesh for a deceased soul, and you must not put tattoo marking upon yourselves.  I am Jehovah.” This is basically the only scripture in the Bible that speaks about tattoos.  It is noteworthy that this is written in the Old Testament. It is written in the law.  The law was given to Gods people to show them that not even Gods people could live up to Gods standards and that they were all still sinners.  It was also written to keep them safe and give them guidelines but the point I am getting at is that we are no longer under the law or binded by it, even though it does show us Gods viewpoint.  (Heb.10.1) (Gal.3.19,24,25) At Galations 3:24,25, it says that “the Law has become our tutor leading to Christ, that we might be declared righteous due to faith.  But now that the faith has arrived, we are no longer under a tutor.” So you see the Law is good for seeing Gods viewpoint on certain things but we are not binded word for word by the Law.

Since tattoo marking is only spoken of in the Law and not outlawed in the New Testament for Christians, it is my opinion that getting tattoos is a personal decision.  God can change his mind on things.  Just as he once tolerated polygamy and then spoke against it later, who’s to say that he can’t change His mind on something as simple as body art.  It is up to you to use your discretion.

Once again this is an open forum and we invite you to comment on what is being said. Thank you for reading and we hope these articles were enlightening.  Look through the archives on the right of the web page to see past articles.
