The Bible is NOT what is claimed for it – Part 1
By
Dr James A Robertson
The Almighty says:
"Bible study is obsession with history without understanding the present and the future"
and
"Bible based belief is 'minamalist' belief"
Caution
Many visitors to this page will find the content shocking and even offensive
I DO understand that what you will find here is EXTREMELY CHALLENGING for most believers
However, it IS the truth
Some context
In 1993 after a dramatic encounter with the Almighty and subsequent exposure to Bible based teaching that made sense I took my Bible, held it up and said something to the effect of "Father, these people say this is your word, I do not understand it but I choose to believe that it IS your word and I ask you to answer ALL my questions"
In the years that followed I read the Old Testament about twenty times in a wide variety of translations and the New Testament about 35 times in at least as many different translations, I filled about 14 notebooks with notes during my Bible reading, for many years I spent at least an hour a day and frequently more reading the Bible, I once read the Bible from cover to cover in about ten days
Then, around mid 2002 Father said to me "the Bible is NOT my Word"
It took me around two years to internalize this to a point where i posted an article in June 2004 -- "1AD.04.06.04 A Reality Check - Is the "Bible" REALLY the Inerrant Word of the Almighty"
It took me until around 2009 until I was prepared to write about this with confidence and it is ONLY in 2013 that I could hear the truth of what Yah has to say about the Bible and I may STILL be adjusting
Accordingly I counsel you to read what follows prayerfully, NOT to reject it out of hand but to go to the Almighty for confirmation

If you scan this page from bottom to top you will roughly follow the more recent stages of the journey of adjustment and discovery that I have followed.
I pray that as you study this page you will come to understand the truth about the book commonly known as "The Bible".

2013.10.08 The Essence of the issues relating to the Bible
The following are what I currently understand to be THE issues with regard to the Bible
1. Yah wants relationship
Yah wants us to seek a DEEP personal relationship with HIM NOT a book. He created us for relationship. Yah says that the Bible is “the greatest idol on earth”. People mistake Yah’s grace in working with the Bible as indicating His approval, big mistake.
2. The Bible is the outcome of a battle between Yah and Satan that Yah lost
The Bible is the outcome of a battle between Satan and Yah through men that resulted in only one very limited collection of fragments of writings being preserved to become what we call “The Bible” – from biblios – Greek for book.
3. The English translations and derivatives are massively corrupt
The English translations and those derived from them are massively corrupt in in terms of the use of blasphemous and corrupt names and concepts such as “The LORD”, “God”, “Jesus”, “Christ”, “holy”, “cross”, bias towards deity of Jesus, “Old Testament – New Testament”, false bias against Yah’s form of union between man and woman, etc, etc. Much material on the website discusses this.
4. The Bible is mostly a reasonably accurate historical account
The writings in the Bible ARE for the most part a reliable and accurate, albeit very limited, historical record, as far as it goes, there are massive gaps.
5. Less than 2% of the Bible is inspired
Yah says that “less than 2% of the Bible is inspired”. The Bible DOES included some passages and verses that ARE direct from Yah but these are scattered amongst the other text which is simply writings based on knowledge. Key elements of Revelation ARE accurate.
6. The Bible is based on fragments of manuscript
The Bible is based on fragments of manuscripts preserved through persecution and neglect. Very little of the original text in the “New Testament” was written in Greek and there was NO control of scribal error and emendation. Much of the “Old Testament” was written from memory in Babylon.
7. Massive emphasis on building doctrine from the Bible leads to massive error
The massive emphasis on building doctrine from the Bible has led to what Yah calls “wholesale error” and given the forces of darkness almost total freedom to mislead believers. The church is breaking ALL of the Ten Commandments assisted by the Bible.
8. Yah hates the Bible because it leads men away from Him
Yah hates the Bible because it is Satan’s way of forcing Yah to interact with nearly all believers on Satan’s terms. Satan hates it for the limited truth it DOES contain and that Yah IS able to lead some people to deep relationship with Himself through it.
9. Yah wants relationship
Fundamentally Yah wants DEEP personal relationship with EVERY single person and the Bible gets in the way of that.
See other articles below for much more information.
2013.10.07 Positive aspects of “The Bible”
The previous article focused heavily on the weaknesses and negative aspects of the Bible, this article lists what IS positive about it.
1. Most of the book IS reasonably accurate historically
Most of the Bible is a factual and reasonably accurate historical account of Yah’s interaction with men from which we CAN derive significant learning IF we turn to Yah to answer our questions and interpret.
2. Fundamental commandments ARE accurately recorded
The fundamental laws in the form of the so-called “Ten Commandments” ARE accurately recorded.
3. Basic application of the Commandments is addressed to a point
The basic interpretation and application of the commandments is demonstrated to a point IF we turn to Yah to answer our questions and interpret.
4. Various principles at a headline level
Various principles relating to being in relationship with Yah are demonstrated and discussed at a headline level, again subject to turning to Yah for detailed understanding and application.
5. Some limited inspired sections
There are SOME limited inspired passages, sometimes single verses, albeit frequently badly translated, which DO provide a foundation for Yah to build on – primarily some of Proverbs, some elements of historical accounts both relating to Yahooshua, pre-Yahooshua and post-Yahooshua, particularly by Shaul {Paul} and parts of Revelation.
6. Some statements of Yah’s plans – so-called “prophecy”
Some statements of Yah’s plans and intent by His spokesmen {prophets}}, generally at a sketchy level so that Yah’s servants in later generations have some limited guidance as to what to pray and intercede for. Most important in this generation are elements of Revelation.
7. All of this is compromised
All of this coloured and influenced by the factors discussed in the previous article so, while a useful basis for seeking Yah for clarification the Bible is NOT a basis for in-depth intellectual analysis without the Spirit of Yah. It is also and wide open for demonic interference coloured by the worldly context that totally corrupts the fundamentals and detracts from deep knowledge of Yah such that a few draw closer to Yah and the majority worship the book {bible} or walk away.
8. Satan does hate it because it contains remnants of truth
The forces of darkness DO hate the Bible because it DOES contain accurate history and facts about Yah and some inspired words and Yah HAS managed to work through it to a point. Remember that the goal of the forces of darkness is to UTTERLY defeat Yah on earth but that does NOT validate it as “the Word of God / Yah”.
9. Read prayerfully and in different translations there IS much to learn
Read prayerfully there IS much to learn from the Bible as a STEPPING STONE BUT it MUST be read in close consultation with Yah and with openness to finding error, particularly in the English and other translations derived from / informed by the English versions. I recommend “The Scriptures”, “The Living Torah” and “The Amplified Bible” in particular although they all contain substantial errors. There are many thousands of pages on this website http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.orggiven by Yah at various levels that will enable those who study them to learn much about the things of Yah.
Summing up re “The Bible”
I was asked to sum up my understanding with regard to the book commonly referred to as “The Bible”.
Following is a reasonably comprehensive summary of the headline points regarding the Bible which are discussed in greater detail in the articles listed at the end of this article:
1. Bible is NOT a magic word
Bible is derived from the Greek Biblios which means a book and is related to Biblos which was a major centre of papyrus manufacture. So, the word Bible has NO significance at all.
Assigning special meaning to the Bible massively distracts people from serving Yah in person.
2. The Bible does NOT claim to be “The Word of Yah” or to be without error
Nowhere IN the Bible does ANY author let alone ALL authors claim that the Bible is given by Yah. Even in the preamble to the average Bible NO such claim is made. Furthermore no claims are made in the book regarding it being without error.
“The Word of Yah” and “without error” both massively distract people and are false.
3. It is highly unlikely that the Bible is “the living word of Yah”
“The living word of Yah” implies an extremely high level of anointing and therefore infilling of the Spirit of Yah. For it to be the “living word of Yah” the entire book would have to be written by people with this level of infilling of the Spirit of Yah. There is no indication in any of the writings that the people who made these records were at this level of infilling at the time they wrote and, in my personal experience, Yah does NOT give that level of anointing for general documentation purposes. He desires us to apply our minds and our intellect so, generally it is unlikely that Yah would dictate these exact passages and, most of them are NOT worded in such a way as to suggest that they are direct dictation from Yah.
“The living word of Yah” ascribes a level of anointing to the writers that is completely unjustified and, again, distracts others from seeking to know Yah deeply.
4. Most of the Bible is simply history so no need for it to be inspired
A large proportion of the Bible comprises historical accounts that require NO anointing or inspiration to record.
Ascribing inspiration to simple historical accounts devalues the entire essence of inspiration.
5. The Bible contains obvious errors
Both the so-called “Old Testament” and “New Testament” contain obvious errors which denies any claim that it is “without error”. For example the accounts of the death of Judas Iscariot in Matthew and Acts do NOT agree. The genealogies in Matthew and Luke do NOT agree. The reasons given for David numbering Israel differ, one attributes his action to Yah, the other to Satan. The exact wording of the Ten Commandments differs although the different accounts claim to be verbatim transcripts of what Yah spoke on the Mountain, etc. There are websites that list the discrepancies in detail and there are other websites that go to great lengths to explain and justify the discrepancies.
Denying the errors and constructing convoluted arguments to justify obvious errors makes Yah look foolish, compromises the integrity of the believers who advocate such lies and opens the door for massive demonic infestation.
6. No such thing as “The Canon of Scripture”
Yah says there is NO such thing as the Canon of Scripture. He has spoken to millions of people in detail over the years, millions of documents have been written, Yah HAS at some level influenced the thoughts of every human being who has ever lived.
The concept of the “Canon of Scripture” is one of the most destructive lies associated with the Bible. The consequence of believing the “Canon” is that people believe that Yah has only taken the trouble to speak to men in such detail to the sum total of a bit over a thousand pages in six thousand years. This massively devalues the reality of Yah’s interaction with mankind.
Another consequence of the lie of “The Canon of Scripture” is that anointed servants devalue the revelation, visions and messages given to them and fail to give them the import that they deserve. Yah speaks to His servants today, as He has spoken throughout time and His messages today are MOST important today, two and three thousand year old texts are NOT the MOST important message from Yah today. The entire spiritual dispensation today is radically different to that which any person except Yahooshua could have envisaged at the time the texts that make up the Bible were written.
7. Worship of the Bible massively limits Yah
All the above points give rise to a situation in which the Bible is effectively worshiped and, in the process, massively limits Yah.
People hold that the Bible is THE authoritative document and under value millions of other writings. People rely on “Bible Study”, “Bible School”, “Bible …” instead of seeking Yah’s spokesmen {prophets} and a personal relationship with Yah.
Massively corrupt and fundamentally inaccurate and false interpretation and extrapolation of isolated verses builds huge intellectual and demonically inspired constructs that bear NO relation to the truth with the result that human beings are totally mislead with regard to what is really going on in the spiritual realm. The prevalent interpretations of the Book of Revelation are the most dramatic example of this.
8. Current Christian Bible assembled by a group of men in a corrupt dispensation
The current Christian Bible has its roots in Rome and was assembled by a group of corrupt men in a corrupt dispensation.
Many modern believers distain or reject the Roman church yet they worship one of the early Roman churches most significant achievements, the Bible.
Lack of awareness of readily available history compromises the intellect of believers and again opens them to demonic attack.
9. 66 books in the Protestant Bible indicates men have tampered with it
The Protestant Bible contains 66 books, 6 is the number of man. Yah indicates that this indicates that men have tampered with the Bible and states that the Roman church excluded substantial bodies of text which were NOT aligned with their beliefs.
So this supposedly definitive and complete book is fraudulently deficient.
10. All major English translations of the Bible are fundamentally corrupt in terms of names, etc
All the major English translations of the Bible are fundamentally corrupt, they all contain the same errors with regard to “The LORD”, meaning “Baal” instead of “Yahooeh” or “Yah the eternally self-existing”, “God” instead of “Mighty One”, “Jesus” instead of “Yahooshua”, “cross” instead of “stake”, “Christ” instead of “anointing of the Spirit of Yah” or “anointed of Yah”, names containing “Yah” translated completely differently, etc.
The consequence of this is that English speaking believers and those who rely on translations based on the English versions are completely misled in terms of the names and led frequently into paganism rather than relationship with Yah.
11. Most of “New Testament” written in Aramaic and NOT Greek
Supposedly the “New Testament” was written in Greek. This is false.
Yahooshua and those who followed him spoke and wrote Aramaic. Only a few letters to Greek believers were written in Greek.
The reason the source documents are in Greek is that the Jews hated those who followed Yahooshua because they used the true names and challenged the traditions of Israel, as a consequence the Jews seized all available manuscripts and destroyed them. From the other side, the Roman occupiers of Israel and surrounding nations hated the followers of Yahooshua because they confronted their paganism and therefore they too seized the Aramaic documents and destroyed them.
All that survived were Greek translations. These translations were prepared under less than ideal conditions, with no formal quality control and filtered through increasingly corrupt doctrines.
Relying on these translations as being definitive is fundamentally flawed.
12. New Testament compiled from fragments that differ in about 1,250 places
The “New Testament” as it exists today was compared from fragments of manuscripts that were collected and which differ to the extent of something like 1,250 points from one another.
Some sources refer to “the most reliable sources” and others claim that these “reliable sources” were found in a rubbish tip outside a monastery in the Sinai Peninsula. “In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”, the source of Trinity doctrine occurs only once and then only in SOME manuscripts.
13. “Old Testament” largely compiled from memory in Babylonian exile
The “Torah scrolls” on which the “Old Testament” is allegedly based were destroyed at the time of the Babylonian exile and pieces were recreated from memory by Jews in Babylon after a massively traumatic defeat and forced march.
14. Tradition regarding “Moses wrote the five books before he died including what happened after he died, is fundamentally flawed
Certain people claim that Moses was given the five books attributed to him by inspiration such that he wrote about what would happen after he died.
This is fundamentally false. Yah has repeatedly said to me that we are NOT glove puppets and that He deals with situations as they unfold, we are NOT living some bizarre and perverse pre-scripted pantomime. Again we see traditions relating to the Bible leading people away from understanding the way Yah works.
15. The Bible Code is a smoke screen
Yah says that “the Bible Code is a smoke screen”. The entire creation, the Universe, every plant and animal, the minute precision of DNA, the Periodic Table of the Elements in Chemistry, ALL evidence the existence of the Creator. To suggest that Yah has seen it necessary to hide some code in the “original Bible text” in order to prove that He exists and that the Bible is inspired by Him simply does NOT correlate with the facts that are available with the simplest observation.
16. Prophecy fulfilled is testimony to Yah’s spokesmen NOT the Bible
People argue that the fact that there are statements in the Bible about the future that have been fulfilled proves that the Bible is the Word of Yah. This is NOT so, it proves that Yah spoke through His spokesmen {prophets} then just as He does today and that someone, who was not necessarily at all inspired, recorded what was said.
The fulfillment of statements made by Yah is MORE a sign that in the age when those statements were fulfilled there were spokesmen who prayed those events into existence.
17. The Bible is a manifestation of the war between Yah and Satan
The Bible is fundamentally the remnant that Yah has managed at some level to preserve as mankind has capitulated to Satan on so many fronts and, on the other hand, it is the remnant that Satan has NOT been able to destroy and therefore Satan hates it and has done all that he can to neutralize it.
Conclusion – almost all of what is claimed for the Bible is FALSE
The bottom line is that virtually all that is claimed for the Bible is FALSE, all that can really be found to be true is that it is a collection of writings about man’s interaction with Yah that are at some level factual.

2013.09.05 About the Bible
Recently someone asked me for guidance with regard to which bible version they should be using
This is my response:
“Important to recognize that the bible was compiled by the Roman Church under Constantine in about 300 AD
It is the work of men and because of the lies believed about it it has MASSIVELY limited the way in which the Almighty has been able to interact with the majority of believers
The bible is one of the greatest victories of Satan and Yah hates it because of the way He is forced to work with a book approved by Satan
Furthermore the English translations of the bible and all other translations that have used the English translations as their source are full of massive error in terms of the true Name of the Creator – “Yah the eternally self-existing” NOT “God” or “The LORD”, the Name of Yahooshua (NOT Jesus), reference to “the anointing of the Spirit of Yah” as “Christ”, etc and this has fed almost universal error in the body of believers who rely on the bible
Satan hates the bible because it still contains some truth and it has enabled many to retain some level of relationship with the Almighty and has therefore done all he can to destroy it and, in the process, has given greater credibility to worship of the bible as “The Living Word of God” and other mistaken beliefs
So, while we CAN learn from the bible and I, myself, have come that route, using the bible to substantiate anything of substance is highly suspect
Yah wants a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with each and every one of us and He hates it when people put their worship of the book {bible from Greek Biblios = “book”) in the way of learning to hear Him personally and learning to talk to Him and be guided by Him constantly
2013.05.02 The Arrogance of Christian Ignorance
I came to a close relationship with the Almighty at Passover 1993 after He spoke to me audibly when I was considering taking my life. He showed me that if I had died then I would have been cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone and that I was about to pass the last opportunity that I would have in my life to turn to Him. I gave Him my life unconditionally and committed to do whatever He called me to do.
He put me in touch with a strong believer who I knew through business and he in turn took me to his assembly. I was impacted by the level of knowledge and immediately assumed that everything that they taught was accurate. However, having made such an intense commitment and being an engineer with an extremely analytical mind and knowing that I had used up the grace available to me I rapidly started asking questions.
I soon discovered that the answers to my questions were frequently unacceptable to the church even though Father validated them repeatedly, on a number of occasions through dramatic spiritual events.
In 1995 I prayed for the first time “Father, I ask you to lead me into ALL truth”, I also asked Him to bring the people He wanted into my life and take the people that He did NOT want in my life out. I also asked that I might be found a “good and faithful servant on the Day of Judgment”. Following these prayers my life started to change dramatically and nearly everyone who was in my life was taken out in the next twelve months. I was also kicked out of a number of churches for my unacceptable beliefs – yet Father continued to say I was going in the right direction and confirmed this repeatedly through numerous of His spokesmen and women who did NOT understand the significance of what they were saying.
Father continued to work with me and in 1998 I prayed “Father judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly” and “Father, please show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it”. I continue to pray all the above prayers regularly today. The revelations continued.
In the middle of 2000 I found myself in a situation where I was totally dependent on Father for my provision and I found that what I was praying and doing – in line with what I had believed from the church – was not working. In desperation I decided to fast and seek His face and I embarked on what ended up being 8 three day fasts at intervals of ten days – 3 day fast, 7 days eating normally. Concurrently all I did was to pray, read the bible and other sources of information and write what I was shown. With the fasts I prayed to be shown my error – the fasts were specifically directed at CORRECTING ERROR in my life. Within a few weeks I started to receive a barrage of revelation through emails, direct words from the Almighty, spiritual experiences, things I observed around me, etc, etc.
By the end of the eighth fast on 31 December 2000, Father gave me a message “The Wrath of God for the Church” which was about the doctrinal error in the church – I was battling to internalize all the information that had deluged and so I still used “God” although I had recently encountered “Yahweh”.
Father called me into full time prophetic ministry but kept me almost totally isolated at home. We sold assets to survive. I continued to spend all my time seeking Father, reading about Father and writing what I was shown. In the space of about two years I wrote about 750 articles amounting to about 10,000 A4 pages. By the end of 2001 almost nothing that I had believed remained, I had been shown that just about everything the Christian Church teaches was false and that the demonic realm was dominating the Church. I was isolated and alone, a few people remained on my mailing list but the vast majority of Christians rejected me. It was an extremely difficult time and then Father told me to return to my business and rebuild it.
During this period I was shown that it was time for Satan to be sent to the Pit for a thousand years and that since only men have authority on earth only a man could bring the charges against Satan. I was further shown that if the man concerned subscribed to any of the lies or errors that Satan had brought upon the earth that man would have NO legal standing in the Court of Heaven to bring the charges. I understood that I was being prepared to do this but I was NOT permitted to discuss this with anyone, not even my wife.
On 3 May 2003, while worshipping, the Spirit of the Almighty came upon me as described in the article at
http://end-time-issue-ministries.org/Articles/ArticleViewPage/tabid/511/ArticleId/165/2011-02-03-Satan-sentenced-to-one-thousand-years-in-the-Pit-on-3-May-2003.aspx
I requested a hearing of the Court of Heaven, commanded that Satan be brought before the Court, read out the Charges (as given by the Spirit of the Almighty), secured a conviction, requested a sentence of 1,000 years in the Pit and called on the messengers {angels} of the Almighty to cast Satan into the Pit.
For most of the next ten years I hardly wrote, I grappled with the truths that I had been taught, attempted to put some critical truths into practice and failed repeatedly, I took some wrong turnings and picked up some extremely heavy demonic infestation which I was finally delivered of in 2010. At this point I went on seven three day fasts at intervals of seven days requesting cleansing and correction. At the end of this period I had a settled assurance that the bulk of the fundamentals of what I believed were solid and validated and I resumed writing. Since then I have published over 250 articles of which about 80% are on the website http://end-time-issue-ministries.org and elsewhere.
These articles were published to a small group of people, some of who have been on the list for many years. Recently I have been impressed to increase the scope of the list and therefore most of those who are receiving this email know little or nothing about me.
As before I have experienced a substantial amount of rejection and argumentation and been called a “false prophet” on a number of occasions.
About a month ago the Almighty said to me “son of man, have you seen the arrogance of these who call themselves ‘Christian’ in their ignorance” and I was given the outline of the article below.
I have given the above context so that you may know that what I write below I do NOT write lightly and that what I have written in the last three years I have ALSO NOT written lightly – it is the settled and considered opinion of one who has been walking with Yah and seeking ALL TRUTH for twenty years. If you do NOT understand or do NOT agree, rather go to Father and ask Him for guidance than reject me and, in the process, reject Him who sent me.
I submit for your consideration that UNLESS you pray the prayers above repeatedly and over a number of years and undertake at least one set of seven three day fasts EARNESTLY seeking truth and UNLESS you are open to having just about everything you believe turned on its head, NOTWITHSTANDING how many times you have been caught up into Heaven and had other dramatic experiences with the Almighty you have no real prospect of fully understanding what I am writing about and have written about previously.

for more information on this, this article was also sent out to the list a few weeks ago.
Following is the article “The Arrogance of Christian Ignorance”:
The Arrogance of Christian Ignorance
By
James Robertson
As outlined above I have been on an intense journey to learn the truths of the Almighty and found that virtually everything that the Christian Church teaches is false. I have also found that the vast majority of Christians are NOT interested in reviewing their doctrines and changing.
About a month ago the Almighty said to me “son of man, have you seen the arrogance of these who call themselves ‘Christian’ in their ignorance” and gave me the headlines of a message as follows:
1. The Almighty and His ways are huge and massively complex
The Almighty, His ways, His kingdom are huge and massively complex. It is beyond the ability of any single human being to fully experience Him or fully comprehend Him or fully know His ways or fully walk in His ways. This is particularly true of the degenerate people who live today – we have ALL (including myself) degenerated massively from the first man and woman whom Yah (Yah the eternally self-existing, the Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth) {also known as “The LORD” and “God” both of which terms are fundamentally wrong and blasphemous} created just over 6,000 years ago.
We are greatly deluded if we think we know Him and His ways fully and where we judge others based on our miniscule knowledge of these things.
2. Yah is merciful and meets us where we are
Yah is merciful and gracious and full of compassion. He meets us where we are and does what He can to help us and guide us but is constrained by our ignorance and our arrogance and our inability to hear Him outside our existing paradigm’s. Yah grants us dramatic spiritual experience, speaks to us, gives us revelation, catches some of us up to Heaven, grants some of us to meet and speak to Yahooshua {Jesus} personally NOT because we are perfect but because He loves us and because we are at some level seeking and at some level have some small relationship with Him.
3. Even those close to Him have miniscule knowledge
Even those who are closest to Yah have, in truth, miniscule knowledge and experience of Him. We are incapable of comprehending all that He is and all of His ways as individuals. “For we who are MANY are ONE body”.
4. A dramatic encounter with Yah is NOT an endorsement of our doctrine – there are legal constraints
A minute number of us in this generation have had dramatic encounters with Yah. I have had the wind of Pentecost blow in my bedroom and had Yah lay His hand on me and impart a significant anointing, I have had Him speak to me personally through many prophets and others, I have had Him speak audibly to me directly, I have had Him call me His friend – NONE of that in any way confirms my doctrine – it simply means that in some small measure I have pleased Him and connected with Him in such a way that He has been able to touch me and grant me some experience that is effectively so miniscule in His scale of things as to be almost insignificant. These experiences do NOT endorse my doctrine or prove that I am without error or …
This is one of the greatest mistakes that those who have had experience of Yah make, they think that because they have been touched in some way, been used as spokesmen or women {prophets} or had other experiences that this signifies that they are fully in-line with Yah. I have interacted with some who have been taken up to heaven and interacted with Yahooshua and others, some of whom have had Yahooshua appear to them. Almost without fail they assume that such an experience, filtered by their knowledge and experience fully VALIDATES who they are, what they believe and their relationship with Yah. This is NOT so. There are legal constraints on what Yah can do and say in such an experience. He may NOT correct doctrine UNLESS you have expressly requested correction of doctrine and then you may well be unable to hear Him on many issues because you cannot believe He will say such things.
Correction of doctrine, in my experience, is frequently an arduous and challenging journey as, frequently, one will find oneself doubting whether Yah would say such a thing. You must be REALLY committed to seeking truth in this age in order to truly find the REAL TRUTH.
5. The level of ignorance and wrong belief in ALL groups is huge -- The world is flooded with sin and error
Just over 6,000 years ago, Adam, who knew NO evil, chose to disobey Yah and eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The consequence is that for over six thousand years mankind (the sons of Adam) have been learning ALL there is to know about disobedience, error and sin – i.e. evil such that, despite common Christian belief, this generation is, in Yah’s terms, the MOST evil generation that has ever lived.
Accordingly IF serving Yah and being found to be a “good and faithful servant” and an “overcomer” on the Day of Judgement is of any significance to you it is VITAL to understand that YOU will have to WORK HARD to find the truth that applies to you let alone “ALL TRUTH” that applies to you. Working hard means constantly and sincerely praying for correction, it means fasting periodically in a SERIOUS manner, it means being willing to challenge EVERYTHING you believe other than the existence of the Almighty Himself and even there you are likely to find that He is FAR DIFFERENT from what you have believed about Him.
And, even once you have been exposed to a new truth or been corrected it will frequently take YEARS for you to internalize it and apply it. In some cases it has taken me the best part of ten years to internalize and adjust my thinking to some of the revelation and correction that I have been given and I STILL find myself slipping into the old thinking and language from time to time.
IF you are serious the approximately 750 documents on the websitehttp://www.etimin.org/ provide a step by step record of my journey with varying degrees of error, particularly in the earlier documents. More importantly, the approximately 180 documents on the website http://end-time-issue-ministries.org present my consolidated understanding as documented from the Day of Atonement 2009 to Passover 2012, a limited number of further articles have been written since then but NOT uploaded.
Amongst all these documents you will find a large amount of challenging truth but also some error, particularly in some of the older documents – the challenge is, that to the extent there IS error I do NOT always know it is error – and to the extent that my time is very limited it is NOT practical for me to go back and censor the earlier articles and Yah has told me NOT to. He says clearly that it is the responsibility of each of us to sift truth from error J
6. The vast majority oppose and condemn Yah’s truth
It is so that, in reality, the vast majority of the world’s people, even the vast majority of the 5,000 most highly anointed one’s who are at some limited level having an impact on the earth, are in serious error and, because of their experiences, opposing Yah’s truths and therefore Yah Himself.
7. The world and church are sinking ever deeper in apostasy
For the reasons given today the world and the church are sinking deeper and deeper into apostasy. The Christian church is smitten with pride and arrogance in their great error as custodians of the vital truth about Yahooshua which they have grossly corrupted, the Muslims are full of error, not as extreme as the Christians but severe none-the-less and all the other groups are also massively corrupt and in apostasy.
8. The Christians are Arrogant in their Ignorance
The net effect is that the Christians are massively ignorant and in massive error because they almost universally fail to truly recognize the Hebrew roots of their faith, the massive falling away and schism between the “Christians” and the “Jews” that had taken place by 600 AD in the time of Constantine and the errors that have been perpetrated ever since.
Charismatics speak badly of Protestants who speak badly of Catholics who speak badly of … and yet ALL have the same fundamental errors with regard to the names of Yah and Yahooshua, the personage of Yahooshua, the bible, etc, etc, etc and, as discussed in a previous article, they ALL break all of the ten Commandments most of the time.
Because of their ignorance and their mistaken belief that THEY have the truth rather than a desperate and humble seeking after judgment in this life and therefore seeking after truth they are nearly ALL arrogant in their ignorance. They do NOT know what they do NOT know and therefore they THINK that they DO know. Those who have been privileged to be granted some significant spiritual experience are frequently the most arrogant and the most resistant to change.
9. Appropriate prayers and fasting are vital
IF this scares you – which it should – there is ONLY one solution – pray the prayers that are mentioned above and in the document cited above, fast and constantly examine your life. Ask for correction, expect it and receive it.
The entire world system AND particularly the Christian Church WILL oppose you – it is a lonely and isolated road. Expect things to go wrong constantly and to suffer loss – it is only by being judged and learning from your judgments that you will climb the mountain of the Most High Creator and be found to be a good and faithful servant and an overcomer on the Day of Judgement.
2013.03.06 Relationship with the Almighty NOT Worship of Intellect
In recent months I have received a steady stream of emails on various topics that argue matters of doctrine (teaching) from in-depth intellectual analysis of the Bible and other texts.
Frequently these arguments and the resulting conclusions are totally at odds with what the Almighty is saying and it becomes apparent that the writers place high reliance on their intellect and the intellect of other “learned” people.
In doing this they totally miss the message of Yahooshua {Jesus} and every other prophet that has ever lived which is fundamentally, “seek a personal relationship with Yah (the Almighty Creator) and seek to please Him” – fundamentally nothing else matters and nothing else will qualify one to sit on a high throne with Yahooshua for eternity.
This is simple to do but so difficult because it requires one to lay down the worship of one’s intellect and accept that one does NOT know how to overcome, or to please Yah or even how to have a relationship with Him – it is simple because one is only required to completely set aside one’s intellect and walk with Yah by faith and, in a sense, blind trust, it is difficult because our entire upbringing fights against doing this.
Together with this article is also “2012_01_05_Getting close to Yah -- appropriate prayer and fasting are VITAL” which was published on this list slightly over a year ago which sets out a range of measures that one can take in order to hear the Almighty Creator clearly.
I commend this document and the approach that it advocates for your earnest and prayerful consideration.
2012.01.05 Getting close to Yah Appropriate prayer and fasting are VITAL (the answer to doctrinal differences)
I regularly encounter people who disagree with what is published on this list and on the ETI websites.
Some just walk away and refuse to have contact, others say nothing and some try and reason with me by stating what they deeply hold to be true.
In responding to your reaction if you disagree with something on this list or on the websites it is important to consider the following:
1. My error
If what is on the list or the websites is error, that is my problem and if I do NOT come to correction and repent before my death I will burn for some part of eternity for that sin. So, IF you do NOT agree with me the solution is NOT to be offended by my error but to pray that Yah will show me the error of my ways that I may repent.
Note that I have repeatedly stressed that we are each responsible for what we believe and it is up to YOU to decide what you believe of what is written on the list and websites.
Note also that on the old website http://www.etimin.org/ there are articles where my understanding has developed considerably over the years and it is therefore certain that some of the articles on that site contain SIGNIFICANT error so you should pray for guidance when reading articles from that site (and from the new site http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/ as well).
2. Your error
If YOU are in error then YOU will burn for part of eternity if you do NOT repent before your death. So, if you disagree with what is published here it is important that YOU seek the truth diligently.
Somebody said to me yesterday that Yahooshua died so we do NOT have to pay the price for our sins, YES, BUT, ONLY if you repent in this life – Yahooshua did NOT die so we can be sloppy about what we believe and teach lies – Yah HATES that teaching and you will burn terribly if that is something you believe and worse still teach to others.
3. Other people’s error – “my pastor says”
Then there is the dilemma faced by many people that they subscribe to what they have been taught at church or read in books, or what the majority believe, or what they were taught as children, etc – problem is, as we have seen, nearly everything that is taught is lies!
BUT
If a person challenges or questions what is being taught they are frequently told in no uncertain terms that they are in error, that the pastor has been to Bible School and they have not, that the majority agree, etc and people are made to feel stupid for disagreeing. They are also frequently given to understand that if they persist in discussing their “wrong doctrines” or questioning the teachings of their leaders they will be cast out of the congregation.
Under such circumstances you will STILL burn for part of eternity for believing those lies and even more so if you have taught them or propagated them BUT the pastor, writer, etc will ALSO burn, not only for their own sin but the sin they have forced you and others into.
Please remember that nearly everything that is taught in the church is false, nearly everything taught in Bible Schools is false and just about everything that the majority agree on is false – Satan is IN the church and controls the church through his demons just as he controlled the “church” in the days of Yahooshua.
4. What to do – based on someone else?
The ONLY reason you should believe on the basis of something that someone else forces on you is if they are willing to commit, IN WRITING, that what they are teaching is the truth AND that they indemnify you and will burn FOR you.
IF they do that they may be walking in presumption so you might want to get out anyway.
IF they tell you that “Jesus paid the price” and you will NOT burn if you are in error then GET OUT immediately!
IF they get sarcastic or aggressive, or harsh in any way then GET OUT.
You should NOT believe based on James Robertson, or Joe Smith, or Pastor X, or some imminent historical character (note that “The Final Quest” reports that “The Great Reformer” almost did NOT make it into heaven – see the article on “Where will YOU spend eternity?”) or EVEN on what “Jesus / Yeshua / Yahooshua allegedly said” based on your corrupt English translation (interpretation) of the Greek translation of the record allegedly recorded by someone who claims to have walked with Yahooshua {Jesus} in the book {bible}.
You should ONLY believe based on your PERSONAL relationship with the Almighty Creator, Yah the eternally self-existing {The LORD, God, Allah, etc).
The ONLY time you should believe someone else is in the case of a woman joined to a man in which case you are commanded to submit to him in EVERYTHING and that INCLUDES accepting his teachings {doctrine} and he will burn for your sin.
5. Guidance by Yah
How do I make decisions based on personal relationship?, I hear you cry!
Well, first of all you need to realize that Yah created YOU to have a personal relationship with Him – if you do NOT have a personal relationship with Yah then your ENTIRE life is POINTLESS and at the end of your life you will be cast into the fire and consumed!
Secondly you need to pray appropriately.
I regard the following prayers, in no particular order, as vital and non-negotiable – all prayers should be prayed to the Father, Yah, in the name of Yahooshua so I will leave those parts out after the first prayer:
Father, I come to you in the name of Yahooshua and I ask you to show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it;
Judge me severely and correct me harshly – if you do nothing else, pray this;
Help me to overcome to the end and be found a good and faithful servant;
Help me to draw close to you;
Help me to hear you clearly and close my ears to all voices that are not from you;
By your Spirit blow away all that I have read or heard or thought that is not of you and imprint all that IS of You;
Where I am unable to hear you please speak to me in whatever way I am able to hear you through people, video, radio, TV, books, magazines, emails, websites, other people, etc, etc;
Open my eyes to see what you want me to see and close my eyes to what you do NOT want me to see;
Enlarge my territory in knowledge of You and Your ways and Your will and Your Kingdom and in relationship with You and in anointing with Your Spirit;
Please fill me with your Spirit;
Help me to put on the WHOLE armour of Yah, the belt of truth (note that truth comes first), the sure footed shoes of the good news of peace, the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation and the shield of faith, help me to wield the sword of the Spirit which is your commandments and to pray in the Spirit at all times without ceasing (note that you can ask Yah to teach your spirit to pray in the Spirit 24/7);
Bring the people you want into my life and take the people you do not want out; -- be prepared for lots of people to leave and all sorts of unpleasant things to be revealed;
Speak to me through your emissaries {apostles} and spokesmen and women {prophets} and send them across my path; -- be prepared for unusual and sometimes difficult people who may easily offend you
Open the doors in my life that you want opened and close the doors that you want closed;
Show me all demons and curses that are attached to me and how to get rid of them, send people across my path with the anointing to deliver me; -- you need to study demons and deliverance and seek out people who can help you to get free – guaranteed that unless you have put in MAJOR effort over a number of years to get free of demons you HAVE demons and they are corrupting your thinking and leading you into all sorts of sin – you need to deal with blood-line curses and the demons associated with them, etc, etc
Show me all the sins I need to repent of; -- this is an ongoing process for years and probably decades, sit down, pray and make a list of all your sins starting with blood line stuff that you inherited and then list year by year from birth to the present all the things you did wrong and repent of them AND pray for those that you harmed with your sins to forgive you – you will need to do this several times over a period of a year or more with the assistance of the Spirit of Yah before you have cleaned up and you will still find yourself remembering things years later – Yah may require you to go to people and repent of what you did wrong to them, you may need to make restitution, restore things your stole, compensate them for losses they incurred because of the wrong you did them, etc
Show me all the people I need to forgive; -- all the people who have wronged you, forgive them and release them from their debt towards you, including things they have stolen, etc – you may be able to just pray this but you may need to go to people and actively forgive them and release them
Teach me to quieten my spirit so I can hear your still, small voice;
Help me to qualify to sit on a high throne with Yahooshua for eternity;
Put my flesh to death so that I may live by your Spirit; -- if you are truly Spirit filled the strength of your physical body will diminish and you will become increasingly dependent on the strength of the set-apart {Holy} Spirit of Yah. If something then happens like major sin, fear, anger, strife or other things that drain the anointing of the Spirit of Yah you will find that you become very weak and you will age rapidly – strife in a marriage is a particular problem here
Help me to bring You joy every day;
Whatever else you are led to pray at any particular time.
By the way, once you start praying the above it is probable that if you are still in the formal “church” Yah will take you out very quickly.
You also need to worship regularly – not “feel good” worship, definitely NOT worshipping Yahooshua or Jesus but worship that lifts Yah up and makes Him feel good and that humbly requests Him to move in your life, etc – refer the article “2011.07.05 Some important worship songs” for a list of songs that I have used for years and keep coming back to – there are many others but not that have the significance and anointing that those on this list have.
6. Sensitivity and obedience
Praying the prayers is NOT enough.
You need to be sensitive and obedient – Yah can start closing a door but you can storm through it or block it open, or ignore it, or ...
You can ignore His voice.
You need to PRACTICE hearing His voice, you need to get on your knees so you can hear better, you need to do things because you THINK you heard His voice – if you think Yah has spoken to you then ACT, if you are unsure then ask for confirmation or guidance but if it is NOT a massive issue then just tell Him you are going to do what you think He has told you to do and DO it and check in with Him if you did it right – ask Him to guide you, to close and open doors, etc.
Spending hours or days, or weeks checking and double checking is SIN and it is NOT helpful – walk by faith – JUST DO IT!
Expecting other people to confirm and advise you -- if you are young and inexperienced -- well, maybe for a while -- but Yah wants YOU to hear Him and obey Him.
It is better to do something because you think Yah told you to do it but are not sure than it is to NOT do that thing.
Yah wants obedient servants and servants do NOT argue with their master – yes we do, but that is NOT what Yah wants.
You have to go through SERVANT to get to FRIEND and confidante – it will likely take some years before Yah takes you into His confidence and asks your opinion and consults with you the way He did, for example with Abraham and, unless you really work at it you are not very likely to get there – you do not get to become the Friend of Yah by accident, you get there through commitment and hard work and laying down your life.
If it is a really BIG thing, like sell everything, give it to the poor and move to … halfway round the world, THEN it is reasonable to do a bit of checking and ask for confirmation but even then there is a point at which Yah does NOT expect even such a decision to take you much time – when He tells you to raise your staff over the sea and tell it to open in front of millions of people Yah does NOT want you to take five months of arguing and asking Him for confirmation, He expects you to do it NOW and if you got it wrong take the risk of making a fool of yourself BUT chances are you DID hear Him because His ways ARE foolishness to the ordinary man (including almost all those who claim to believe).
7. Fast and fast again!
In my experience the above is just the entry point.
It is NOT ENOUGH!
I only started to get dramatic revelation eight years after I had been walking intensely with Father when He led me to go on eight three day fasts at intervals of ten days – in other words three days fasting and seven days eating normally – in that case the fasts culminated on the 31st of December 2000 and Yah then gave me the message “The Wrath of {God} Yah for the Church” and said the church was breaking ALL of the Ten Commandments.
During those 80 days I received massive revelation, about the true names Yah and Yahooshua, about the true Sabbath, about the true feasts, about the pagan and Satanic nature of Christmas, etc, etc.
On those fasts during the three days all I took was the bread and wine – remembering the covenant made by Yahooshua {communion} and limited water.
In the year that followed I continued to get continuous revelation, saw Yah move significantly in my life and wrote hundreds of articles which are included on the old website at http://www.etimin.org/msg3.htm
In the years that followed I fasted periodically, most significantly on the Day of Atonement.
Then, towards the end of 2010, Yah impressed on me to go on seven three day fasts at intervals of seven days, three day’s fasting and four days eating normally, culminating on the 26th of December 2010 (Christmas).
On the first two fasts and the last fast I drank only a small amount of Grape Juice and ate a small amount of unleavened bread twice a day because I had to take medication.
On the remaining fasts I took the bread and wine morning and evening and drank a significant amount of water as well as I was advised that repeated withholding of liquid could cause permanent damage to my kidneys. My kidneys were quite painful at the end of the seventh fast and took some months to recover fully – so there is need for caution, do NOT do total three day fasts unless you are SURE Yah requires it.
Note that a total three day fast is required to break certain witchcraft and get rid of certain demons and curses and shift certain other things.
Over that period of fasting and in the months that followed my understanding of various things consolidated and I wrote well over one hundred articles all of which are on the new website at:
http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/Articles/tabid/503/language/en-US/Default.aspx
In 2010 I was also told that in order to enter into full blown ministry operating in the power gifts of the Spirit of Yah, conducting spiritual warfare at a level where one could combat major demons, witches, etc, heal the sick, raise the dead and by used for other miracles it was necessary to go on a forty day total fast only drinking water. I have met several people who have done such fasts and who walk in GREAT power and authority in the Spirit realm, one of these people had been used to raise about 19 people from the dead, one who had been in the morge for two days!
Note that you are likely to become extremely weak during a forty day water only fast and are unlikely to be able to engage in business or even normal domestic activities after about two to three weeks so the series of three day fasts is more practical for many people but is NOT a substitute for a forty day fast IF you are really going ALL OUT.
On the basis of this experience I have to say to you that IF you claim to be serious about serving Yah and you have not fasted at the sort of levels referred to above then you are kidding yourself and playing games.
IF you are serious about serving Yah you need to pray the prayers above REGULARLY and start fasting – it is as simple as that!
8. If you disagree with what is on the End Time Issue Ministries websites
If you disagree with what is on the two websites, taking account of the fact that particularly some of the older articles DO contain error and taking account of the fact that I may still have error I have not recognized then you are welcome to let me know you think I am in error.
BUT
Taking account that I have prayed most of the prayers above over more than a decade, that I have been through ALL the sanctification processes I mention above AND others and that I have fasted extensively I ask you to understand that I will NOT pay much attention to what you have to say in disagreement with me UNLESS you have gone through a similar cleansing process.
So, rather than dismissing me as a madman or heretic, rather than walking away and cutting me out of your life, rather than speaking ill of me, pray ALL the above prayers sincerely and regularly, examine your life and clean it up comprehensively, go on at least one series of eight three day fasts at ten day intervals, walk the road you find yourself on after the fasts for six months and then IF you still disagree with me we can sit down and talk – I FULLY expect that if you do what I have outlined here you will almost certainly AGREE with me on all the critical issues
AND
You will be far closer to Yah than you have ever imagined possible.
Conclusion
A high level of sanctification and hard work is required to come to a deep personal relationship with Yah and a clear understanding of what really IS truth.
