Showing Love By Exposure of False Religion and Doctrine:

INTRODUCTION:

It is a genuine (true) follower of Jesus (Yeshua) obligation to warn all about false religion and doctrine. All genuine (true) followers should show love to all by exposing false doctrine so they have an opportunity to get in good standing with Jesus (Yeshua) and his Father, Almighty God (YHWH) per John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me." (American Standard Version; ASV); and this in keeping with what Jesus (Yeshua) said at Matthew 22:37-40, "And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40 On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets." (ASV).

Exposure of false religion and doctrines would of course include the exposure of false religious books that many claim falsely came from the true God (YHWH) of Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, and Jacob, creator of all there is, Almighty God (YHWH) by an angel or some other medium including ones that are a knockoff of the Bible. To understand why, let's look at what the Bible actually is. It is NOT the product of one committee or strongman. It has over 40 individual writers who wrote under divine inspiration/guidance putting the thoughts of God (YHWH) into the words of men much as transcribing secretaries today taking transcription and then later typing it out. In other words one real author, God (YHWH), and many scribes each of whom wrote in his own style over a period of approximately 1,600 years. All of what people call or consider inconsistencies are really not such, but most often just a problem of translation and/or understanding, i.e., lack of understanding of what the original writer writing in his own language and culture meant/said in his original writing. What is remarkable, is the writers over such a period of time all wrote in harmony when even most posters on threads on this forum can not even stay on track or subject over a period of a few days and/or weeks at most with the original subject of the thread. This fact of harmony over a period so great as to almost stagger the imagination shows that it had one guiding force or author who divinely inspired its writers as humans of their own volition can not keep on track over short periods of time.

To wit, the Bible is the ONLY book God (YHWH) ever inspired men to write as his scribes. In other words, God is its author and men only put his thoughts given to them by divine inspiration into their own words, the words of men. Not only that, all the other writers of later so called religious guidance books borrowed from it and made changes in accord with their strong man or so called prophet. Take the example of Joseph Smith who borrowed from it to write the Book of Mormon, but failed to give credit or source to the Bible and twisted some borrowed things into bizarre distortions. Other examples are of course the bizarre writings of David Koresh the Prophet of the Branch Dividians of Waco, Texas; and the Quran, etc.

WHY EXPOSURE IS NECESSARY AND LOVING:

Now all need to be showing love to their neighbors including Jews and telling them of the first step toward salvation given at John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (AV). Messages of hate assist no one in learning the truth per John 8:32, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (Authorized King James Bible; AV).

With respect post of exposure of false religions, doctrine, traditions, etc., they have a worthy objective; to wit, enabling individuals to correct their wrong path. Articles of exposure of wrong are NOT ones of hate, as are many of others, but ones that expose false doctrine and wrong practice to lovingly give all the correct information so they can bring their life in harmony with the will of Jesus (Yeshua) Christ and his Father, Almighty God (YHWH). All should read these articles instead of writing hate literature and articles making false accusations. In any article I write you will find not one word of hate or bashing, only truth. They are posted to assist all in knowing the truth, per John 8:32, and to assist all in making a change in their lives by getting out of groups and/or religions that practice false doctrine and wrong practices.

All need to learn about love and that includes warning others with respect false doctrine and wrong practices instead of thinking of hate as many do and attacking the messenger who brings them the truth. One writer wrote,

Exercise of Prudence is NOT Bigotry, but Learned Discretion:

INTRODUCTION:

In life, one must exercise prudence and treat situations and/or people and/or animals with circumspection if they have proved disadvantageous and/or dangerous in the past. This is not bigotry which is a showing of strong partiality to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ; whereas, prudence is based on learned experience and is essential for avoiding dangerous situations and/or people and/or animals in the future. Of course this will lead to one's holding something to be dangerous that is similar to what proved dangerous in the past even if it is NOT DANGEROUS.

Let's look at some illustrations:

Situation #1 = For an example, once many people are bitten by a dog, they treat all dogs for ever more with suspicion, best be safe first rather than sorry. Now of course all dogs are not dangerous, but based on past bad experience, many feel it is prudent or circumspect to treat all dogs as dangerous until proven otherwise - guilty until proven innocent. This is an psychological aspect of mankind that is built into his psyche as a measure to protect him/her from harm.

Situation #2 = For example, many mushrooms are safe to eat, but others are highly poisonous. Now the prudent thing to do when one is not sure of the safety of any particular mushroom is to not eat it until it has been proven none poisonous - treat it as guilty until proven innocent.

Situation #3 = For example, there are many evil people in the world who will do you harm. If a neighborhood or group have individuals that have proved dangerous in the past such as crime infested areas, it is the prudent thing to avoid both these neighborhoods and/or groups until they are proven otherwise - treat as guilty until proven innocent.

TRUST MUST BE EARNED BUT CAN EASILY BE DESTROYED:

Situation # 1, In Cherry Hill, N.J. lived a well respected Albanian Muslim family who ran a roofing business and a pizzeria and to all outward appearances were normal individuals. The family members delivered pizzas to many locations in fort Dix and were never regarded with any suspicion. They had earned the trust of the community with their good behavior and were NOT discriminated against because they were Muslim.

However, they did NOT live up to the trust that had been given to them as shown by their secretly plotting to murder many individuals as follows:

<<<"Sylwia Kapuscinski for The New York Times [5/8/2007],

CAMDEN, N.J., May 8 -Six Muslim men from New Jersey and Philadelphia were charged Tuesday with plotting to attack Fort Dix with automatic weapons and possibly even rocket-propelled grenades, vowing in taped conversations "to kill as many soldiers as possible," federal authorities said.

The arrests came after a 15-month investigation during which the F.B.I. and two informers who had infiltrated the group taped them training with automatic weapons in rural Pennsylvania, conducting surveillance of military bases in the Northeast, watching videos of Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers and trying to buy AK-47 assault rifles.
The authorities described the suspects as Islamic extremists and say they represent the newest breed of threat: loosely organized domestic militants unconnected to - but inspired by - Al Qaeda or other international terror groups.
The suspects include three ethnic Albanian brothers who entered the United States illegally, part of a family that has lived for years in Cherry Hill, N.J., where they attended public schools and ran a roofing business and a pizzeria. They were joined by a brother-in-law, who was born in Jordan and is a United States citizen, and two other legal United states residents: an ethnic Albanian from the former Yugoslavia, and a Turk who lived in Philadelphia.
The men, ages 22 to 28, held jobs ranging from roofing to driving a cab to delivering pizza, and had no clear motivation other than their stated desire to kill United States soldiers in the name of Islam. They considered a variety of targets, including the annual Army-Navy football game and warships docked in the Port of Philadelphia, but ultimately dismissed Dover Air Force Base in Delaware as having too much security and picked Fort Dix largely because one of their fathers owned a restaurant nearby that delivered to the base.
The authorities first caught up with the men in January 2006, when personnel at a video store alerted the authorities after the suspects requested that he transfer onto a DVD a videotape of the group shouting about jihad as they fired assault weapons at a range in the Pocono Mountains.
"This is a new brand of terrorism where a small cell of people can bring enormous devastation," Christopher J. Christie, the United States attorney for New Jersey, said at an afternoon news conference in the courthouse here.
As the suspects were charged before a United States Magistrate Judge, Joel Schneider, prosecutors described a complicated operation that was at once ambitious and meandering, marked by deadly weapons and a certain lack of sophistication. The suspects alternately declared themselves eager to sacrifice their lives in the name of Allah and expressed ambivalence, worrying about getting arrested or deported for buying weapons or possessing a map of a military base...".[source - New York Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/09/us/09plot.html?ex=1336363200&en=3b4af6b0b61c9abf&ei=5088&partner=r ] >>>.

These individuals who had earned trust for Muslims in Cherry Hill, N.J., but then destroyed it by proving themselves to be just hateful, greedy, and lustful for violence individuals. They have not only destroyed trust for themselves, but all Muslims in the psyche of those in the Cherry Hill, N.J. area. Most people in this area will of course do the prudent and circumspection thing - regard ALL Muslims with extreme suspicion until proven not dangerous - guilty until proven innocent. Is this bigotry? No, not at all, but is a learned reaction to a group of people some of whom have proven very dangerous in the past - strictly a defensive measure against perceived danger which is prudence.

Situation # 2, The murder of over 3,000 individuals and the destruction of the prettiest building in New York City on September 11, 2001 by a group of Muslims acting under the orders of a Muslim Sheik named Usama bin Ladin, and his subsequent launch of other murder plots.

The sociological fallout from this is of course the invoking of prudence and circumspection with respect to the group to which these belonged as all being dangerous and to be regarded with extreme suspicion until proven innocent. Some might wrongly call this bigotry, but it is not. It is simply people reacting to a perceived danger and the prudent and circumspection thing - regard ALL Muslims with extreme suspicion until proven not dangerous - guilty until proven innocent. Is this bigotry? No, not at all, but is a learned reaction to a group of people some of whom have proven very dangerous in the past - strictly a defensive measure against perceived danger which is prudence.

This prudent action is called generalization, and is a basic human reaction to perceived dangerous and/or disadvantageous situations. All humans do it, some consciously and others unconsciously - it is a built in by nature self preservation instinct.

CONCLUSION:

Groups must take action against their misbehaving members if they do NOT want to be adversely generalized as being dangerous as a measure of prudence and circumspection. If they fail to take sufficient measures against their misbehaving members, then they should be expected to be considered suspicious and dangerous until proven otherwise.

In the above cases, the members of the group they belonged to failed to take the necessary action against their misbehaving members and therefore they will reap the odious generalization by the world community at large for failing to do so. They should not blame others for being prudent and circumspect, but themselves for their failure to take preventative measures.

Discourse on Exposing Techniques of Bigots:

INTRODUCTION:

Bigots and haters of righteousness through the ages have always tried to make any action by those whom they hate seem irrational. The Nazis were experts at this perverse propaganda style charging all they hated with being mad. And saying all articles and writings those they hated were the product of madness.

In other words, the favorite deceit of bigots and haters of what is right is to falsely claim any writing of those they hated was done out of madness. When many Jews throughout the world protested the persecution of the Jews in Germany by the Nazis from 1936 to 1939, the Nazi propaganda machine stated the reports of atrocities were just reports made by mad extremist and not true.

Now this same devilish technique is still being used by bigots and hatters against others whereby they label anyone taking issue with their evil deceit mad. But when the facts are examined it is readily seen that the bigots and hatters are the ones taking things out of context and/or telling outright lies to discredit others. Let's look at the historic facts.

JESUS WAS CHARGED WITH BEING MAD BY RELIGIOUS LEADERS:

The religious leaders of Jesus' (Yeshua's) day thought him mad and were indignant against him as recorded at Matthew 21:15-16, "But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant; 16 and they said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes; have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast brought perfect praise'?" (Revised Standard Version; RSV); and Mark 11:18, "And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching." (RSV); and this was clearly shown at John 2:19-22, "Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." 20 The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?" 21 But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken." (RSV). Clearly they were afraid of him and his teachings and hated him.

They accused him of having done all his great works by Beelzbol (Satan) and he as being Beelzbol (Satan) himself as testified to at Matthew 12:22-30, "Then a blind and dumb demoniac was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the dumb man spoke and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, "Can this be the Son of David?" 24 But when the Pharisees heard it they said, "It is only by Be-el'zebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons." 25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand; 26 and if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Be-el'zebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. 30 He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters." (ASV). In the book, "The Complete Who's Who in the Bible" on page 80, it says, "The extraordinary fact in the NT is that the word [Beelzbub] is only used in passages where Jesus (Yeshua] was being accused of himself being Beezebub or Satan or was talking of persecution. The extent to which the religious leaders of this day were prepared to assign the works and words of Jesus [Yeshua] to Satan himself reveals how deeply ran their antagonism to the Messiah."[source - The Complete Who's Who in the Bible with Dr. Paul D. Gardner, M. Div., A.K.C., PhD. A minister and dean in the Church of England in Cheshire, pub. By Zondervan Publishing House, ISBN: 0-310-21122-0]

In fact, many today opposed to true Christianity insinuate or say Jesus (Yeshua) was mad due to his chasing the money changers out of his Father's (YHWH's) house as testified to at Matthew 21:12-13, "Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the sabbath." 13 Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, whole like the other." (RSV); and Mark 11:15-17, "And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons; 16 and he would not allow any one to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he taught, and said to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers."" (RSV), and John 2:13-17, "The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; you shall not make my Father's house a house of trade." 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for thy house will consume me." (RSV). But what are the facts?

Jesus (Yeshua) was NOT acting due to being mad, but due to righteous indignation.

Now, let's look at what the dictionary says one each per the Funk & Wagnalls Standard College Dictionary, ISBN 0-308-10309-2,:

Indignation - anger aroused by injustice or baseness; righteous anger.

Mad - angry; going beyond the bounds of reason, decorum, or safety; subject to an overpowering emotion; violently moved; unhinged; turbulent and confused; extremely disorganized, etc.

So as can readily be seen, Jesus (Yeshua) was not mad, but was filled with righteous indignation at the money changers who were making his Father's (YHWH's) house a den of thieves. In fact, sometimes their practices were so bad that even the Jewish religious leaders who received profits from the money changers had to act against them. The Mishnah tells of a time when they were charging a golden denar (25 silver denars) for a pair of doves and Simeon the son of Gamaliel declared, "By this thempl! I will not suffer the night to pass by before they cost but a [silver] denar." On that very day the price was drastically reduced." [source - Kerilot 1:7 as translated by H. Danby].

SOME DISCREDITING TECHNIQUES BEING USED BY HATERS AND BIGOTS TODAY:

Today, the adversaries and hatters of true Christians are still up to their old tricks. They claim that true Christians who show righteous indignation at their false charges, insinuations, etc. are mad and/or doing so out of being mad. They distort truth by taking things out of context, and as we all well know things taken intentionally out-of-context are misleading and meant to be so by those doing this evil work. A good example is:
In fact one of the most infamous twisting by using things out of context was the twisting by a pair of atheist and anti-God individuals that put forth as an exact quotation from the Bible the following.

"He [Judas] went away and hanged himself, go, and do thou likewise." To discredit both God (YHWH) and the Bible.

They did this by taking parts of two scriptures out of context, the following two:

Matthew 27:5:
And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. (ASV)

Luke 10:37:
And he said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.(ASV)

In fact, the leader of the bigots and intolerant individuals, Satan the Devil, even tried to mislead Jesus (Yeshua) when he tempted him in Matthew 4 chapter by taking scripture out of context. Let's look at Matthew 4:1-10, "Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered. 3 And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." (ASV). But Jesus (Yeshua) saw right through his deceit and answered each time, "it is written", and proceeded to quote scripture showing the Devil's deceit.

No surprise here as this is what the Nazi propaganda machine did also and bigots and haters do today. Take the case of Helene Gotthold from which all can learn about their evil tricks.

These same types, individuals filled with pride and full of hate continue to do likewise. Adolph Hitler made extensive use of this evil practice and took, as some posters do today, things out of context from literature of true Christians to try and discredit them. This is of course a very evil practice. Let's look at one case in brief. The case of Helene Gotthold whose complete case is detailed in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C.

CONCLUSION:

Be not surprised at these evil deceptive practices since the Bible says at John 8:44, "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies." (RSV), and like Jesus (Yeshua) said, of those who hated the truth and used these evil discrediting practices at John 8:45-47, " But, because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God." (RSV) is still true today, they "are not of God."
His opposers just like the bigots and hatters of today of course falsely accused him of having a demon as testified to at John 8:48-50, "The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?" 49 Jesus answered, "I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he will be the judge." (RSV).

Discourse on Bigotry and Hate by Individuals Under the Control of Satan:

Bigots and haters and intolerant individuals try to run down others and discredit them by twisting and taking things out of context. Why, clearly these individuals are under the control of Satan the Devil as revealed at 2 Corinthians 4:4, "in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn [upon them]." (American Standard Version; ASV); and John 8:44, "Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

The Devil and all his stogies through the age have made use of twisting and taking things out of context. Some of his most infamous stogies were Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin who always twisted everything to discredit those they hated, of course unjustly.

In fact one of the most infamous twisting by using things out of context was the twisting by a pair of atheist and anti-God individuals that put forth as an exact quotation from the Bible the following.

"He [Judas] went away and hanged himself, go, and do thou likewise." To discredit both God (YHWH) and the Bible.

This is of course a very evil practice. Let's look at one case in brief. The case of Helene Gotthold whose complete case is detailed in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C.

Here the Nazi's took parts out of context from Watchtower publications to make a false case against Helene Gotthold that she and the true Christian organization she belonged to was subversive and working to overthrow the Nazi regime. They took over one hundred items out of context in their case against Helene Gotthold, and in their kangaroo court convicted her on a charge that basically meant treason against the Nazi regime. Of course, she was definitely not guilty as she was a true Christian neutral, but she was eventually executed nevertheless.

For all those wishing to no more, when in Washington DC you can learn much more about the case of Helene Gotthold and many others falsely discredited and convicted on things taken out of context at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and learn more about the history of these martyrs to true Christianity, and the inhuman crimes committed against them by bigots full of pride who were under the control of Satan the Devil. So believe not evil individuals who take things out of context to discredit others.
