Dedicated to Daniel, Sara, Moriah and Ely Anna Mia, my memory is now slipping so I will tell you this while I still can remember. I am your biggest fan. I have faith in all that you do. If you attempt it, I will encourage you till you finish, and when you finish, I will cheer louder than anyone when you reach the goal. Trust in Yahweh and believe always in His only begotten Son Yahshua called Jesus. Pray always and the Holy Spirit will guide you. I love you, no, just don’t read not that I just love you, but know that I love you more. Dad

Forward:

This Book will cover so many areas of the human experience and look into the core of many of our relationships, answering many questions not from a denominational perspective, but from the Bible’s perspective. This book answers many questions like, why believe in the Bible or existence of God? What is a kingdom and what is in a kingdom? Is Yahshua called Jesus God? What is sin? Is there a Biblical diet given to man by God Himself in the Bible? What is a man’s role in relationship with his wife? The Bible is clear about the role of a husband and a wife, as this Book reveals. The topic of sex in a relationship is opened up in great detail. Who God says should have sex as well as what type of sex is permitted by God

Many conflicts found in the organized religions are described in this Book. Conflicts, consisting of the divine name of God, and of the many religions, which religion is teaching the right doctrine to get to a place called heaven? What does the Bible say concerning abortion? The Heavenly Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, are they all God? These questions are all answered, with Bible scripture references, in this Book. This Book also answers why religion is such a turn-off to so many people.

This Book will discuss the difference in being religious and being in the Kingdom of Heaven. What is the difference and what is the payoff of each? This Book contains the dietary plan that God has given to mankind, also many ways that will show the difference in the culture of heaven versus the contrary lifestyles that organized religion have deemed as okay to live by and still please God. This Book looks at the difference between Holy Days and holidays celebrated around the world.

The purpose of this Book is to examine and uncover the untruths that are being openly taught in organized religions. These untruths are either not challenged by the faithful members, or the faithful members have never been exposed to the truths that are revealed in this Book, the truths concerning the gross errors that are found in most organized religions. This Book focuses particularly on the repetitive and wrong messages preached to millions in the organized religion called Christianity. The other four major religions of the world which are Judaism, Islam, Buddhist, and Hinduism, are also examined and weighed on the scale against the Bible which is God’s word, and all five organized religions and are found wanting or not measuring up to what Jesus said to preach.

After the uncovering, I reveal the only message that Jesus preached throughout His entire ministry. The message Jesus preached, shamefully, is now only being preached by just a handful of religious leaders worldwide. The message that Jesus taught is Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Jesus gave this message to the heads of the churches to teach. The preachers are not preaching what Jesus said to preach; instead, they are preaching about Jesus, going to heaven, and a lot of other off-topic messages.

This teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven is not a new teaching. It is not an often-taught subject. One reason it is not spoken of is, a lot of the preachers cannot preach or teach of a subject of which they have no knowledge. Jesus answered and said to him, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (St. John 3:3) What Yahshua was actually saying here was /is: no man can understand the kingdom unless they are born into the country, the kingdom of God.

Here in America, much of the lifestyle is considered a norm if this is all that Americans have known. When visiting another country, the norms change. Some of the changing norms are driving on the left side of the road, daily dress apparel, diet, speech, laws, the way parents are cared for when they become senior citizens and can no longer take care of themselves, the domestic treatment of a spouse by a spouse, and much more.

Many religions teach, in one form or another, a get closer to GOD reward system. The reward system requirement is for the person being drawn to God to give financially to a religious institution, and/ or submit spiritually to a more structured, spiritually-disciplined lifestyle, and in return, God will give to the cheerful giver or the converted, obedient person a reward of some type for living a righteous lifestyle.

The hook of many religious institutions is teaching: God blesses, rewarding givers that give financially to the institution. Another hook in religious teachings is, if you are a sinner, give your life to God and he will turn your situations around, and if you live righteously, God will bless you with the house, the car, the job or whatever the sinner is in need of, but God requires a change in return for His blessing. The truth revealed in this Book is God has made mankind managers over the planet earth.

The revelation without a hook is God gives more things to those who are showing that they can manage more things. There are many in religious institutions that are living a righteous lifestyle and put their last hard-earned money in the offering plate, hoping for the reward system that was taught of in the religious institution that will never pay out. The payout from God is not necessarily conditioned on the individual’s righteousness.

I have now grown very irritated while watching this faulted reward system teaching that has existed for years in religious circles. This 312 page Book, THE REAL TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE will reveal in detail from the Bible that man was put on earth to manage it. This Book will answer who God is, who Yahshua, called Jesus is and what He, being King of the universe and beyond, requires of citizens in His kingdom.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. (13) For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. (14) But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (Hebrews 5:12-14) These three verses, with great substance, verify the message of this book, which is, most preachers of today are not preaching the message of Yahshua, called Jesus, for maturing people today in righteousness.

Look closely at each verse. Most religious teachers should stop teaching; they need to be taught themselves. The words first oracles of God, directs back to But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33) This is the first and only message Yahshua, called Jesus, preached. Every preacher that is not preaching the Kingdom of Heaven message is unskillful and is a babe themselves. Strong meat is a reference to the Kingdom of Heaven teachings and to those who know that there is something more to God’s word that is not being taught, and they are missing it.

Christ said seek the Kingdom of Heaven, get into it, and do what the King says is right. Kingdom of Heaven citizens, being given the Holy Spirit, now can discern the good and evil judged by the King's laws. Sin and other baby food milk messages will stop being preached when preachers preach what Yahshua, the King preached. The message Jesus wants to be taught is not about the miracles He performed. The only message Jesus taught and wants to be taught is, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

This Book ends with answering several questions. What is the Kingdom of Heaven? How to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? What is and how to be born again? What is there to do after entering the Kingdom of Heaven? I close by addressing six basic areas that need to be strengthened in the body of Christ, for the citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven as we await the return and the second coming of Jesus the Christ, Lord and King.

The Human Experience and the Biblical Message

The human experience here on earth is full of unexplainable events. Our lives are unique. Each of our lives should be considered very precious. We only get one life to live, then like a vapor, we are gone.

No one can point to a place and say, there is where the dead go. We use common words to describe the expiration of life. Common words for living no longer including: went home, went to a better place, passed on, or passed away, or simply their dead.

The human experience should be more than going to school, working, and then home waiting to die. Every day we should treasure each moment. Not only treasure the moment, but also treasure our family and loved ones around us. There is not another promised moment after the moment you are in. Some say I will see you tomorrow, taking for granted tomorrow will come. For many tomorrow never comes. Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: (14) Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.(15) For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. (James 4:13-15)

We will have many experiences along the way. Many of our experiences we will share with others like our first right of passage from child to adult, whether it be by a celebration, a ritual, a first sexual experience or children we were fortunate to parent. Begin to listen closely to what is being shared by others to you. Funny how people have a way of paying attention to words people said after they are dead, but did not seem to hear the person when they were still living. I guess I too will have met my demise before some close to me will finally hear what I am now saying.

Some of us will share experiences to see just how we differ from our decision making or if we really are like the other six billion plus people on this planet. We all have genius locked inside of us waiting to be exposed. In different areas, we all shine. Some shine when it comes to mathematics, others shine in athletics. We only need the one opportunity to present its self for us to realize what skill we excel at. A skill that comes so natural to some, others have to spend a great deal of time practicing trying to perfect the same skill.

Some or many experiences will not even be remembered by us or others. It is hard to put them into words, but I will try to bring articulation to my thoughts, but even after I try to give words to my thoughts, I will leave out so much. In the human experience there is excitement, work, eating, drinking, we all need air to breathe, we all experience levels of pain.

For some, the pain is so intense it extracts from deep within the very desire for wanting to exist here on earth any longer. Some pain is so intense it makes a person isolate from others, and then there is a terrible build of anxiety, and loved ones are no longer important. The only thing a person with this kind of pain wants to do is stop hurting.

This particular pain is a different kind of pain. The only way to explain this kind of pain is, if you slam your hand in the door, and you break the bones and sever the skin on your hand you will understand the pain a person that is deeply grieving feels, except it is in the griever’s heart. This pain causes many to not see past the pain; rather they tragically bring an end to their own lives.

This type of pain is something many preachers and believers in God have preached about. Like many in great pain, so quickly even the preachers often forget the scriptures when they themselves are found in a severe life storm. This is no average storm, this is a tsunami that rocks the core of a person’s desire to want to live any longer, but the Holy Spirit on the inside of the grieving person speaks aloud not to take their own life saying, why don’t you trust me?

The feeling of this particular pain is inconceivably unbearable. Why inconceivable? A so called normal life has dips of emotional lows, but nothing comprehendible to the deep dip of not wanting to live anymore. A great spirit of depression accompanies this pain. The spirit of depression covers the individual like a warm blanket in the winter. The worst questions in general conversation to ask the individual hurting is how are you, or how are you doing today? The person’s entire life just got swept away like a hand wiping particles off a table. The person now has no hope, no direction, and no desire to live.

There are no words from friends or loved ones for this person in pain that will bring any comfort. It is not that the hurting person does not know the family cares for them. It is not that they no longer love their family members. It is just that the pain is so intense, no drug, no hug, no words of love can console or stop the internal pain. This hurting person just wants the pain in the heart to stop hurting. Seemingly, the only way to stop the pain is suicide. How do I know? I am not a person with a degree on this subject. I know because I have been there.

After a terrible break up, the loss of a job, being the victim of constant bullying, going through a divorce, the loss of a loved one and many more life changing events can trigger thoughts of suicide. Now that the thought, I do not want to be here anymore, has entered and exited a severely depressed person’s mind like a revolving door, friends, family, job and nothing else matters anymore.

At this point, this hurting person begins to think of how many ways there are to leave here. Do they have the courage to take their own life? Are they scared suicide might send them to hell? This is the born again believers personal conflict. A constant prayer of Lord, please take me away is a constant prayer that the hurting wants to be heard and swiftly answered. There is a constant small voice in the depression that says, Get a rope, and tie it around your neck. If this voice is not answered, other methods to bring about a self-expiration come into the mind. Thoughts of wrist cutting, drowning, suffocation, hypothermia, electrocution, jumping from a great height, using a firearm on self, hanging, getting hit by a bus or a train, car collision, poisoning, drug overdose, carbon monoxide poisoning, starvation, dehydration, and explosion. It is not a good feeling to walk around hurting all day long. Deep depression just waits for death to arrive. Be careful to what you say to people. You do not know who is walking around not wanting to be here anymore. Terrible how people cut each other with their words, I’m not sure they understand the damage it really does. Then again, maybe they do know.

I am reminded of a storm that arose in the Bible recorded in the fourth chapter of St. Mark’s gospel, and also the eighth chapter of St. Luke’s gospel, where the Apostles asked Jesus, Master, carest thou not that we perish? Jesus was near when the Apostles were in a great panic, but there will be moments when it will appear Jesus is asleep when we believers seemingly are about to die from a life threatening storm that removes the rug of faith we had been standing on for years.

Depending on which gospel you read, Jesus awoke and rebuked the Apostles, and asking them a question. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith? (St. Mark 4:40) St. Luke; however, rephrases the question, And he said unto them, Where is your faith? (St. Luke 8:25) If you are going through a life’s tsunami, hold onto these words, God Almighty, the One that sits on the throne, has not forgotten you. He sees, He knows, and He cares. Sometimes He appears to be asleep, but God is still God even in the storm, and none of our situations will cause Him to panic, as if the problem is too great and out of control for Him to handle even when we feel, Lord if you do not do something for me right now, there will not be a need for you to move after a while.

Our human experiences are made up of many positive, and/or negative contributing factors. Experiences that can be sudden or tragic can change our lives at the drop of a hat. We humans have accepted that it is just normal and a part of life that some kill those around them, others hate for no reason, while there are a few that are still walking around that genuinely are caring people.

Humans are so different, but in many ways, we are so alike. Some of the commonalities we all share are family, giving love, receiving love, sleep, nourishment, learning new things, changes, vulnerability to extreme weather changes, power, money or resources and relationships. Some of the relationships are long while others are short and meaningful, others are life changing.

The human experience has to do with worshipping. Some worship the sun, others the moon. Some carve out statues and call them god, while others have come to the conclusion that there is no God other than the god in them. For some, the human experience has a lot to do with the management of our time, resources, constant learning, growing, enjoyment of different stages of this life. We go from baby to toddler, from toddler to youth, from youth to young adult, from young adult to adult, from adult to mature adult, from mature adult to upper-aged full of days adult, with tales and adventure of a full life lived, to pass on to those up-and-coming behind them in years, and then there is death.

This book will open the understanding of Bible scriptures which have been sealed from many readers. This book is not an attack on any person’s belief of any faith. Instead, this book will tear down, brick by brick, the rules religious leaders have made up and used to control people.

Of what benefit would it be for you to read the Bible? In the Bible are all the answers for social and heavenly relationships. Where has the love of humanity gone? Societies across the world have deteriorated so, that now we seem to be just a group of people on this planet trying not to kill one another. What would it take for sudden violence-just one look, just one unkind word and family members, neighbors, and or countries will show you exactly where their stress level is. My hope for this book is for lives to be saved by Jesus Christ. I want people to come out of religion, and into the country called the Kingdom of Heaven.

People have put their learning in the hands of Webster dictionary and various institutions across the world. College Bible instructors teach men and women the scriptures of the Bible in hope to prepare them for pastoral ministries across the globe. These institutions prepare one for a career, but cannot equip one for life’s accomplishments which the Almighty God has sent everyone on this planet to fulfill. Institution prepares us for careers, not for a person’s spiritual journey. The people that hire us can fire us, but the calling on our lives follows us wherever we go. The call on a person’s life may not be to pastor, or other professions in the way they received training.

The problem with accepting handed-down information from priests, preachers and evangelists, is some of the information was not accurate. No one researched or questioned the preachers of yesterday. Following are three examples of untrue statements often said in the churches, even from famous preachers. These false phrases should cease after I bring attention to the truth. Often I have heard, the Bible says cleanliness is next to godliness. Search your Bible. Where does it say that? Matthew, however, does record Yahshua rebuking the scribes and Pharisees for looking like holy men on the outside, but inside, being very unclean. (Matthew 23:25-26.) Again, in Ezekiel 36:24-25, the Almighty makes a reference to cleaning His people. It is commonly mistaken in the Christian churches that God’s people is spoken of in reference to the children of Yisrael. The truth is everyone that is now born again is His child. Another common phrase in church is the race is not given to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but to he who endures until the end. The phrase is actually two verses: " I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance
