On the Brother Of Yeshua Blog (see http://brotherofyeshua.blogspot.com/ ) it is demonstrted that while Christians claim to rely upon the New Testament, it is the very scriptures they champion that rejects their doctrines of belief as being turned out of TheWay. Where the modern Church promotes the doctrine that they are saved by Grace regardless of the manner they live their lives, Peter warns that: "It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them." Every Christian should ask themselves: How Can This Be??? Christians promote the doctrine that only those who believe can be saved. Yet. both Peter and Paul warn that the opposite is true - that those people who claim to believe, may be worse off after they have come to believe, than before they began to believe. That Christians can't come to terms with this fact, is because they cling to manmade beliefs.

Yes and no.
Christ does the converting and saving.
True repentance is a change of heart and not a license to sin.
Every person including yourself will be judged.
How are you doing? Is your salvation according to the law?
I'm not responsible for what churches teach, but if they or anyone is teaching God's Word, the Spirit of truth, there is no better teaching.
As long as we dwell in the flesh, we are going to fall short, all are sinners. Coming to this reality is peace of mind and better than guilt trips. Perfection is full age or maturity in God's Word.
Christ's burden is light and you want to lay a heavy burden on people and put them on a guilt trip.
A fisherman uses a net, bait or a lure. But a fisherman never hits the fish over the head with a stick, at least not a successful fisherman.
Believe, means so much more than just believing in Christ.
It means you believe God is creator of all things.
It means you believe God is loving Father.
It means you believe in His Word.
It means you believe God is our Savior.
It means you believe God wants no one to perish.
It means you believe God is righteous and fair.
The list goes on and on.
Believe, means so much more than just believing in Christ.

The great truth that is presented in this article, is the fact that the teachings of Jesus were purely spiritual, and the Church has made them of the flesh in the manner of the Pharisees. It should be a wake up call to all believers. It very much appears that their doctrines were condemned by Jesus, Peter and Paul. In this festive season of celebration, Christians should be morning what the Church has done to the spiritual essence that makes a living temple. But sadly, since I seriously doubt that they have the eyes to see, and the ears to hear, they will continue to walk the broad-way of self destruction. Calling upon the name of the Lord with their lips, while their lifestyle and pagan beliefs and worship obstruct their path into the kingdom.

The author of the article in the Blog claims to be James, the Brother of Jesus, who has re-entered this world to restore the original teaching of The Way. To his credit, he uses many New Testament teachings that are all ignored by the Church today. So Christians must ask themselves if they can have salvation while embracing beliefs that are convenient and popular, or does belief in Jesus mean that you must believe and live as he taught? These verses and what James has presented, represent a real spiritual dilemma for modern Christians. It appears that they will pass from this life and find that they are even more the children of hell than the people they looked down their noses at. What will they do when they find out that their complacency made them even more the loosers than the unbelievers?
This article by the Brother Of Jesus, should be read to all the Christians in the Churches this Christmas. In view of the fact that Dec. 25th is the birth of the Mithraic sun-god of Pagan Rome, they should examine their beliefs in relation to what the restored teachings of Jesus is presented as. Surely, they have nothing in common with the teachings and concepts that are presented in this article by the Brother of Jesus.

What is demonstrated on the Brother of Yeshua blog demonstrates that Christians reject Jesus, and embrace the doctrines of pagan Rome. In learning about Jesus and the path to salvation, they have the opportunity to fulfill the requirements to enter into Life and the Inner Kingdom (see http://GateOfEden.com ). But because they cling to the doctrines of Martin Luther and Constantine, they are an abomination to the Kingdom. Thus, as both Peter and Paul clearly state, they are worse off now than before.

What is presented to all believers in the article on the Brother of Yeshua Blog, is a true gift from the Lord. If they recognize that they are following the false shepherds that Jesus predicted would rule over the Church, and they seek to walk in The Way, there is still time for them to come into the Light.
Praise the Lord!!!

Never, belief can never be disproved. That is the essential power of belief, it is base on nothing. Nothing can disprove it. Belief is the result of a closed mind. An open mind is free to challenge all thoughts. A free mind does not believe. A free mind will learn and also unlearn. Belief will accept and reject, on a whim.
If you understood it is wrong to steal, it becomes impossible to steal. By stealing you reject your own thinking, you reject yourself. It is true if you believe it is wrong to steal, yet continue to steal, you reject your belief. A person can accept and reject belief quickly, without any reason. As no reason existed to believe in the first place, none is need to reject.
A person who only believes and does not understand will be capable of this hypocrisy. A person who understand, is unable to commit this hypocrisy. This hypocrisy is a simple test to determine belief and understanding.
Look at how many people smoke cigarettes, yet medical science has shown cigarettes kill. When you know this, you will not smoke. If you believe this, you can still smoke. The difference is a level of understanding.
You can believe anything with no understanding. You can know something with complete understanding.
I agree, the more you have, the more will be demanded. Leaders and people in authority have a greater responsibility and will suffer more for any evil.
Like the internet, the bible can be twisted to provide you with any interpretation. You can argue both ways at once, talking out of both sides of your mouth. You can only understand the truth by learning, yet believe anything in ignorance.
You say belief gets you into heaven, I say understanding. Belief and faith are tool of the devil, the path of simple minds.

As stated on Divine Strategery ( http://DivineStrategery.com ), Christians are ruled over by the god of this world. They consciously dwell in the "outer darkness" of what is portrayed as Plato's Cave. The Church has long ago lost its way and its spiritual compass. In the same way that the Pharisees condemned Jesus, the Christians will condemn his Brother, because they worship in the flesh and hate the spirit. The fact that the author of this Blog can use the very Bible that the Christians champion as the Word of God to demonstrate their condemnation of being turned out of The Way, should awaken every Christian in every Church to re-evaluate their doctrines of belief.

This article is the most profound spiritual dissertation that I have seen in a long time. Christians proclaim that they are saved, and yet the Bible not only states otherwise, but teaches that they will be worse off than the unbelievers who they condemn. It appears that Christians don't know the Bible at all. This article provides the research to demonstrate that the majority of Christians are merely just heretics who reject Christ.

It very much appears that Jesus did not in any way nail the law to the cross. Only that the Gentile Christians didn't understand the Law that James, the Brother of Jesus, said remained in effect. What are Christians going to do now that James/Jacob has come and restored The Way? Will they crucify him, like the Pharisees crucified Jesus? I find this whole issue amazing.

My Lord. It appears that Christians don't know anything about the bible. How can they say they are saved, and yet ignore these biblical warnings that very clearly state they are not? I can't believe that Paul warned them that if they willfully sin after coming to the Church, that they not only crucify the Christ afresh, but that there is no longer any sacrifice for salvation that can be made for them. These NT biblical verses oppose everthing that Christians believe. Christians are condemned by their own bibles as heretics and unbelievers who have no salvation.

The pagan Christians who were the heretics in the fourth century, murdered the Spiritual Christians who were known as Gnostics. This article by the Brother of Jesus proves that the Christains who call themselves the true people of faith, are not only unbelievers, but are in fact the disciples of Satan.
