# 21 Why God "Confirms" the TruthDecember 24, 2007
Article By: Tom Demeter How God and the Anti-god Works Dear Friend, There is a difference between “the way” our Creator, Jesus our Christ Eph.3:9 works, and the Anti-god, Satan. God “crated” Satan Jn.8:44 to be the “god of this world” 2Cor.4:4, to rule the world as an Anti-god, an opposite to our Creator. Jesus came that “we might have life and have it more abundantly” Jn.10:10, while the Anti-god’s function is to “steal, to kill and to destroy” us if we don’t “obey” our Creator Jn.10:10. Christ, the “first begotten son of God” Heb.1:6 “is the truth” Jn.14:6, while Satan has “no truth” in him Jn.8:44. This means that our Creator “reveals” truth to us the opposite way as Satan. We all should know that “truth” comes by “revelation,” as it did to Apostle Paul Eph.3:3. The Anti-god gives “revelations” also, but in a different way. We must know this, that we may not be “deceived” by the “many” prophets of the Anti-god, and to recognize the Creator’s true “few” Prophets. The issue gets a little more complex, when we realize that we are all “deceived” Rev.12:9, and individually we must “come out” Rev.18:4 from our “deceptions,” and “confusion” Dan.9:7,8. This is specially true now at the “End of the World” Mat.24:3, when we are like the people were in Noah’s day Mat.24:37, who were not saved, because they did not have God’s “holy spirit” or the “knowledge of salvation” Lk.1:77. ( If you are a new reader, this is a shocking truth, so please read some of the previous newsletters to prove this point to yourself. ) We must realize that the “truth” was “hidden” Mat.13:35 from us, and much is still “hidden” Jn.16:12, as a “mystery, until the very end” Rev.10:7. Now, God is “restoring” the truth to us, by sending a “refreshing” from His throne Acts.3:19, using His Two Witnesses Rev.11:3, as He used Elijah and John the Baptist Mat.17:11. These Two Witnesses are doing God’s “WORK” He promised to do at the End of the World Acts.13:41, Hab.1:5. This is why we know that God has three (3) “laws,” upon which He has His three (3) “religions,” and upon these rests His three (3) “governments.” We must realize that “truth” is revealed three (3) different ways in these three (3) administrations. God’s way is the “difficult way” Mat.7:14, and it is complex as His “operation of salvation” is Col.2:12. God gave “revelations” to the Old Testament’s “carnal” people, in-directly, like Satan. God talked to His Prophets, by using His angels, talking to them sometime audibly, or into their minds, or by visions, and spiritual manifestations by physically sending an angel, like to Moses. In the more advanced New Testament, God’s revelations came from God’s “Faith to (our) faith” Rom.1:17. In God’s Mystery Administration, given to Apostle Paul Eph.3:3, He is talking to us directly, as we do with each other. In the New Testament, the “revelation” had to be “CONFIRMED” that we may not miss its meaning, for the Adversely has ways to confuse us. Growing in Truth and Knowledge To grow in truth and knowledge 2Pet.3:18, we must “CONFIRM“ the truth, if we are in the New Testament administration of God. We must do it, because God is communicating with us in a very sophisticated manner. Here God require us to “obey” the “gospel of faith,” based on the “laws of faith” Rom.3:27, where “whatsoever is not of faith is sin” Rom.14:23. This is why God’s “revelations” are given to us from His “Faith to our faith” Rom.1:17. The Old Testament gives us the “pattern” ITim.1:16 how to “confirm” the New Testament truth. In the Old Testament God made a promise, then a covenant with Abraham. Abraham “walked with God” like Noah Gen.6:9. Abraham was willing to be “perfected” by God IJn.2:5, to become “perfect” as our Father is in heaven Mat.5:48, in God’s sacrificial love Mat.15:13. To become “perfect” in God’s love, to be in the “resurrection” ICor.15:52 takes time. Time is needed because our Creator is asking us to “give up” or LOSE our physical life, willingly, and progressively, and in stages, to FIND eternal life Mat.16:25. God has a “process” to receive “revelations” of the truth, as He has one for our salvation. The first step is when our Father personally “calls” us Jn.6:44. We can’t chose to come to God, UNTIL He chose us Jn.15:16. We can only come to Him, when He gives us the “earnest” of His holy spirit 2Cor.1:20, that we may have the capacity to “hear” His call Jn.10:27. Next God gives us a choice to accept or reject His truth. If we accept the truth, we must qualify to have it, by fulfilling its “requirements,” not using it for our benefit directly but for the benefit of others. After this we must live, or apply God’s truth in our life, which will cause us to “sacrifice,” because God’s way and the Anti-god’s or the world’s way are opposite. We must come out of our “deceptions,” and Satan’s power in the world. This is called confirming the truth to ourselves. This requires that we must be willing to “fall on our face,” to make a mistake if it is needed. After this will God comfort us and give us the revelation of the truth. Abraham was ready to receive the “covenant” promised to him, AFTER he has passed his greatest test, of giving up not his life, but the life of his son, through whom God’s promises were given. Abraham had to “believe” God and have “faith” to receive the truth. He had to wait a long time, when the promise of God was impossible to receive in the worldly realm. Once the truth is received, we must be willing to start the process again, to “grow” in knowledge, until we are “perfect” in love Mat.5:48, and have overcome all of our fears. This growing in truth and knowledge will continue, even after our resurrection, as Jesus, and now our Christ is growing still as the book of Revelation tells us. This is why Jesus said that my Father is “greater than I” Jn.14:28. This is why our Father will give a “new name” to Christ when this phase of our physical and spiritual creation process is finished Rev.3:12. As God’s followers we must grow from the Old Testament, to the New Testament. Christians must grow to the Mystery Administration of God. Christians are divided into God’s seven churches in the book of Revelation. Christ puts us in a church by the knowledge we are willing to accept, and have an opportunity to receive. Every church has a different function in the coming government of God. Knowing that your “calling” was “pre-ordained” as our salvation was before the creation of the world 2Tim.1:9, tells us that nothing is left to chance in God’s plan of our salvation. Nobody can separate us from the “Love of God,” only ourselves Rom.8:34, and only if we are Christians and have God’s power, His “holy spirit,” not an angelic spirit which most Christians have before they are “re-baptized” by God’s 1st Witness. Confirming God’s Truth We need to confirm the truth, because our “reality” or what we think and live by as “truth,” is not truth from God’s perspective. We have seen that “truth” is based on law, upon which we have our religions, and on our religions we have our governments. This makes it clear that the Old Testament truth differs, and is a “lower” truth than the New Testament’s truth. We also see that God’s Mystery’s truth is “higher” in rank and differs from the New Testament’s truth. We now see better why we need to “grow in grace / truth and knowledge” 2Pet.3:18. Those who are in the Old Testament, do not know our Creator as well as those who are in the New Testament. The Old Testament believers don't know that God is our Father. Those who are in God’s Mystery administration know God the best. This is why the Bible is not offering SALVATION in the Old Testament, for it is for “carnal” people only. This is why the Jews and Israel and the Gentiles need to “convert” to Christianity to be saved. A Christian can gain salvation, but because the “gospel of faith” is a temporary religion, as the Old Testament’s, you can receive salvation through death. Death is needed because God’s “full salvation” was not revealed by Jesus in the “gospel of faith,” given to His twelve Apostles. This is why Jesus said to His disciples: “I have MANY things to SAY unto you, but you cannot bear them now” Jn.16:12. This was not only because they did not have the “holy spirit” in them, but because they did not have the full “knowledge of salvation” Lk.1:77 either. God’s “full salvation” was revealed to another Apostle, who was called later, and separate from the Twelve Apostles. The twelve who were working and business men, except Judas, who betrayed Jesus. Paul was a priest among the Pharisees, a very educated man, a student of Gamaliel. Paul spoke Greek, and leaned “Hebrew” later. Paul was called for a “higher” office than the twelve. Paul was called to preach to Israel, in the Diaspora, or outside of the country, and to the Gentiles. Paul was given two gospels, the “gospel of faith,” with the twelve, and also God’s “mystery gospel” Eph.3:3. Paul was not allowed to separate the two gospels properly by Christ that it may be “hidden” until the very end of the world” Rev.10:7. This is why it is so difficult to read and understand Paul’s writings, and was even for the other Apostles 2Pet.3:16. Now by seeing God’s three (3) different religions, “restored” by God’s 1st Witness, we can “confirm” our deception, and that we are at the End of the World Mat.24:3. We can also confirm which religion of God we have been called into. If we are “called” into “Christ’s mystery” Rom.16:25, we have God’s “full salvation” taught to us, and we can be in the RESURRECTION without dying ICor.15:52; IThes.4:17. This also confirms that we are the “last generation” when Christ will return Mat.24:34. Now you can confirm that the End of the World is upon us, and its destruction as it was in Noah’s day Mat.24:37, and the world’s re-created as during and after the flood. This will make us see that Christianity as a whole is “deceived,” like all the religions were before the flood. If you have access to God’s truth, like Noah did, you will be putting aside all other activity, and dedicate your life and all your efforts to WARN people, and to CALL people out from their “deceptions,” that they might have a chance to know the truth, and be protected and saved from the End of the World’s scenario. Now you can confirm to yourself, that you must “come out” from the physical kingdoms of the “world,” to enter into God’s spiritual Kingdom of Heaven, not to receive the world’s “plagues” Rev.18:4. You will confirm your love to God, by loving your fellow man, by warning them. God "Confirms" His Covenant with Us God “promised” to Abraham to be a blessing to every nation of the world Gen.12:1-2 by a son. The promise was changed to a “covenant,” when he was ninety nine years old, because Abraham “obeyed” God Gen.17:10. After Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac, the covenant with Abraham was “confirmed” Gen.22:12. To understand the trial of Abraham we need to know that Isaac was a miracle baby, because he was born after Abraham was one hundred years old, and Sarah was beyond the age to have a child. Abraham to “obey” God, was willing to sacrifice everything, not only his life, but Isaac’s, and all the promises of God to him. When Abraham was willing to “trust” God not only with his life, but the very “covenant” God made with him, the promise was “confirmed” to Abraham. The New Testament requires more than the Old. The promises of God will not manifest in this life to a Christian, for “It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth; the FLESH profits nothing” Jn.6:63. We are told that our “reward” will come at Christ’s second coming Mat.16:25. Does this mean that Christians are condemned like the Apostles to be the “last” in this world, who were made the “filth of the world,” who had to endure “hunger and thirst, being naked, and beaten, without a place to live” ICor.4:9-13? No! We can be blessed, but our “reward” to rule with Christ will come after His second coming. Our righteousness, our obedience is “tested” IPet.1:7 by our “faith,” as Abraham’s was. We are told that we will be “rewarded by our faith” Mat.9:29. This is because we are given the “laws of faith” Rom.3:27 upon which rests Jesus’ “gospel of faith.” Our covenant is “better” than the Old Testament’s Heb.8:6, because our condition is more difficult than ever or ever shall be Mat.24:21. Our requirements are also much “higher” than the Old Testament’s. This is why our opportunities for rewards are much greater also. Our covenant with God is to do His “work” Acts.13:41 at the End of the World, to help God’s 1st Witness to “restore” Christ’s “laws of faith,” and its “gospel of faith,” and His “laws of the spirit” Rom.8:2, and its “gospel of the mystery” Eph.3:3, that through our “work” the “great multitude” Rev.7:9 could qualify to be in the “resurrection” at Christ’s second coming. Our “covenant” is to be in God’s truth’s REVIVAL Acts.3:19 at the End of the World, that the End of this tremendous “evil,” holding the world in its grip could come to an end. Our final test is our willingness to give up, “sacrifice” our life for the life of others, as Jesus did no the cross. Apostle Paul tells us that as he “filled up that which was left behind of the afflictions of Christ in his flesh” Col.1:24, it is required of us to do the same Phil.1:29; IPet.4:13. I pray that you see that our Father is "calling" you Jn.6:44, not only to start His salvation process in you, to be protected from the "plagues" of Satan in the "tribulations," and the re-creation of the world, but that you may be among the “elect of God” Mat.24:22, and be in the RESURRECTION without dying IThes.4:17. This is the greatest “reward” we can have in this physical life. Nothing compares with our eternal life, compared to this life, absolutely nothing!
May Christ bless, Protect and SAVE you
at the End of the World. |
