    About this ebook

    Too many of Christ's words have been misused by Church leaders to go unanswered. This book reveals many accepted doctrines inside Church walls are in fact doctrines that have been man made. This has happened because the words of Christ have not been looked upon carefully enough by today's leadership. False doctrines have invaded the Church due to erroneous understandings of what Christ said. Let me give you an example of such a case.
    Today, the leadership would have you believe that you must be born again. The problem with this doctrine is that it is NOT what Christ taught. Yes, Christ used this terminology when speaking to Nicodemus. However, when carefully read, we find that the singular is used when speaking of the born again experience. Christ was not telling Nicodemus that "he" needed to be born again. He was explaining that He (Christ) had to be born again in order for Nicodemus to see (not enter) the Kingdom of Heaven.
    It was not Christ speaking to Nicodemus at this point, but rather the Father explaining to Nicodemus that Christ had to die and resurrect in order for Nicodemus to see the Kingdom of Heaven. In other words, Nicodemus was being rebuked for the hardness of his heart towards Yeshua. When carefully reviewed, the words of Yeshua during this encounter show that Nicodemus was never going to be saved. We find only that Christ told Nicodemus that he and his peers believed NOT His testimony. Nicodemus was merely a spy sent by the Scribes and Pharisees. He is told by Christ that if he could not even understand earthly things, he could not understand the things of Heaven. This means he was never going to be saved. Nowhere does Christ say anything good here about Nicodemus. He only tells him why he cannot understand. It is because of his refusal to accept Christ's testimony.

      You Have Heard it Said

      You may have heard it said, but is it true? This is the question one must ask his/her self in order to unmask untruths that have been embedded within Church walls for centuries. Asking this question is one thing, finding out is something else entirely. Seeking out truth is a lifelong task, one that requires endless questions and study.

      Christ dealt with many false doctrines and misconceptions within the Old Testament Church. He strongly rebuked the leadership for teaching false doctrine and presenting fabled conceptions of what God wanted from those under their leadership. Needless to say, Christ was not happy with what was being taught as the Word of God in His lifetime upon this earth.

      The intention of Christ was to leave behind those who understood in a much clearer light what was expected of them by God. He succeeded. Those He left in Charge fully understood the doctrine Christ left behind. They maintained Christ’s truths until they died. It was after they left, that these doctrines began to be both manipulated for personal gain, and changed due to ignorance and purposeful deceit.

      Yeshua stated, You have heard it said… He then began to correct what was being taught as the Word of God. He didn’t leave people ignorant of what had happened to the purity of God’s Words and Commandments. His purity caused those who were used to twisting what God had said, to become uneasy and confused. Yes, even to the point of becoming murderers within their hard hearts; hating Yeshua without cause.

      Following God was a full time commitment with Yeshua. This did not seat well with those running the religious communities. Their doctrines were constantly being shown as impure by Yeshua. They were being exposed, and they didn’t like what was happening to their followers as they began to question their authority.

      It is no different in today’s Church world. When a man comes along who has the ability to see through impure doctrine and exposes it for what it is, there are bound to be repercussions. Both for himself, and for those who are waking up due to his preachings. Both suffer the scorn of those who have for too long, been unchallenged as to whose doctrines they are actually preaching; Christ’s or theirs?

      With this in mind, I challenge you the reader to consider carefully what you have heard said, within the walls of your Church building; what you have heard concerning the Word of God. You just may want to reconsider what you have been taught as gospel where the Word of God is concerned.

      Prayerfully this is the right time and season for you to hear what sayeth the Spirit of God to the seven Churches. If not now, then when? The time is short. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no man. It’s time for those who claim to know Christ to rise to the occasion of listening properly to what He left for us; what we today call the Word of God.

      Some of what you read here you will have never heard before. Those who heard Christ often stated that they had never heard doctrine like Christ’s. They stated, What manner of doctrine is this, for He commands the unclean spirits and they leave! Yes, they were astonished when they heard the pure doctrine, as opposed to what was being taught as truth.

      Although there will be those who conclude that some of what is revealed in this book is of no consequence, they will be wrong. Yeshua said it best: Till Heaven and Earth pass away, not one jot or title shall fall from the law, till all be accomplished.

      There are many preaching that all was accomplished when Christ died and resurrected. This is a fallacy. Christ’s words specifically state that the law will continue until Heaven and Earth pass away. This has not happened; therefore the law has not passed away.

      When do Heaven and Earth pass away, thus causing the law to pass away as well? Revelation 20:11 tells us when. Behold I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose face Heaven and Earth fled away and no place was found for them. This is when the law will pass away.

      You might ask yourself, Why then does Scripture state; ‘You are not under the law… The problem isn’t that these two statements are contrary to each other. The problem is that the understanding of what the above Scripture means has been lost.

      The law that we are not under, is the law of sin and death. In other words, we are not under the eternal wrath of God when we die. But this in no wise relinquishes our responsibility to the Ten Commandments that are the very character and love of God being lived out in our daily lives.

      Christ Himself told us, If you love Me, you will keep My Commandments (plural). So then we are to keep Christ’s Commandments, which are the same as His Father’s Commandments. I’m sure logic will tell you that Christ didn’t come to Earth making up His own Commandments. He Himself said, My doctrine is not Mine own, but is His who sent Me; even the Father."

      Again Christ said, Why do you call Me Lord and do not the things I say (command)? In other words, if Yeshua is your Lord, you will be an obedient servant as well as a son. No matter which way those who try to twist what Christ said, the Word of God has an answer for them.

      Paul stated, That which I would do; that I do not. That which I would not do; that I do. On the surface it appears that Paul is complaining because he is sinning too much. However, is this really what Paul is saying? In reality it is the opposite that he is saying.

      What Paul is saying, is that His flesh wills to do evil, but he is restraining it from doing its own desires which are evil. Therefore, that which he would normally do, he doesn’t do. His flesh doesn’t want to do good, but he forces it to do good by subjecting it to the Spirit of God within him. This is the truth of what Paul is saying. He was not saying he could not control his sinful nature. Quite the contrary, he was stating that although his flesh would not (didn’t want to) do good, he forced it into subjection of his God given Spirit.

      For too long the Church has used these words of Paul to hide their sinful lifestyles, teaching that even Paul had sins he could not control. They comfort themselves in their sin by using Paul’s words wrongfully to justify their lack of self-control.

      In other words, Paul was saying that he was constantly battling his flesh in order to keep God’s Commandments. He was winning, not losing the battle. Yet he cried out for the day that he would be delivered from his sinful flesh (his body of death), that was constantly trying to force him to disobey God.

      Paul felt the battle every day, but every day, he placed his flesh into subjection, forcing it to do what was against its own sinful nature. He forced it into obedience by the Spirit of God within him. This is what Paul was stating in the above Scriptures. He longed for the war between his ungodly fleshly desires, and God’s lifestyle to end.

      He concludes his statement with a victory cry, I thank God, through my Lord Yeshua Christ. In other words, he knew the war would end when Christ returned and gave him his new glorified body. At this juncture, his body would no longer have sinful cravings. He would not have to war aganst his fleshly desires in order to obey God’s Commandments.

      Yet Paul was not saying he was losing the battle. He was merely acknowledging that the battle was constantly going on within him. It was not an easy battle, and was always there. He was telling the Church he realized the battle they were in also. He was encouraging them to do as he was doing. He was not doing what his flesh wanted to do, but was doing that which was contrary to his flesh; living in the Spirit in order not to obey the lusts of the flesh. This is what Paul was saying.

      But someone will say, Paul states, ‘If I do that which I would not do, it is no longer I who do it but sin that lives in me. Once again, it appears as if this means that Paul is stating that he is doing that which he hates. However, I want you to notice that Paul uses the word "IF’ in the above Scriptre.

      Paul is saying, that IF someone saw him do something they deemed sinful, it was not him doing it, but rather sin that momentarily took control over him. Yet Paul is not saying that he sinned. He is rather saying that the person, who saw him doing what they considered sinful, was mistaken. Yet even if it was indeed sin, it was caused by the sin
