    Van Davis

    I am Van Davis, a worshipper and follower of the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Until four years ago, I spent all of my life as a Christian. I worked in the Healthcare Industry, and then in Corporate America, and then as a pastor. After spending years in the Corporate world, I spent a few years as a pulpit supply pastor, filling in at various denominations as regular pastors went on vacations, or were ill. And then I spent four years as a Baptist pastor in Swea City, IA. After fighting with the congregation for four years for refusing to tickle their ears, I was eventually forced to resign. It was unfortunate they had plenty of interest in traditions, but no interest in Scripture. And then, solely by the grace of Yahweh, we (my lovely wife and family) answered the call to become His followers, being granted salvation through His Son Yeshua. I have had more back surgeries than I care to count anymore; I have been diagnosed with arachnoiditis, and peripheral neuropathy, and chronic back pain; I am a walking encyclopedia of conditions you really want to stay away from! It seems like the more I yield my life to the Spirit of Holiness, the more I get attacked by the Adversary. Currently I am working on a couple of ebook projects dealing with the true understanding some of the epistles of John and Shaul (Paul).

      Intro

      Most churches do not teach you how to understand your Bible. Why is that? There are probably a number of reasons for this. But, one of them surely is to keep you, if you are a member of the Christian Church family or if you attend a Christian Church, ignorant of the Truth of Scripture. Christianity is a religion built on deceptions, lies, and falsehoods. So, much of what it teaches will be geared to deceiving those who come to believe in it. And what does this have to do with this ebook? Simply this: Most of you who are reading this ebook will have spent time in a Christian church, and so your frame of reference will be from there, as is mine (I not only grew up in the Christian Church, I pastored one as well). And all of what we will talk about will be in contrast to what many of you have been taught in the Christian Church. Like the ebook, What If Christianity Is Wrong, many of you will be angry after reading this and that is to be expected. This ebook, along with others we will publish, will be a severe challenge to your closely held Christian beliefs. As with all our ebooks, please read this with your Bibles and concordances (Strong’s, TWOT, BDB are good ones) and other biblical references. Our purpose is to help educate you. Shaul says he does not want his brethren to be ignorant; neither do we. Over one-third of the human race, (2 billion people), is Christian. If the other 2/3 are not Christian, i.e., 4 billion, and if only a remnant belongs to Yahweh, then most of the people on the earth do not belong to Him. Think Exodus. When we look at the Exodus out of Egypt, everyone above the age of twenty died; only Caleb and Joshua made it out of the Wilderness who were above the age of twenty into the Promised Land. According to Numbers 1:46,
