Proclaiming the Everlasting Gospel

BibleTruth.cc is a Bible study website that promotes and proclaims "the whole counsel of God" - both Old Testament and New Testament. We are convinced that all the Scriptures are as relevant today as when they were written. We uphold the Torah (found in the 5 books of Moses) as the eternal and binding Covenant of YHWH the Creator. We proclaim the Everlasting Gospel which was revealed to the patriarchs and prophets, and was explained through Messiah and his disciples.

Furthermore, we believe that the Old Testament prophesies are being fulfilled right before our eyes as the other "lost" house of Israel is realizing its identity and is returning in repentance to that eternal Covenant YHWH made with the patriarchs and with our forefathers. We also proclaim that Yahusha (aka Jesus or Yeshua) is the promised Messiah ben Yoseph (the Suffering Servant) and that he will soon be revealed in esteem as Messiah ben David (the Reigning King).

Shalom and Welcome to this Bible study website. I'm glad and honored that you have found this resource for correct biblical interpretation and understanding of Scripture truth. There is no such thing as "luck" or "coincidence" or "happenstance" with the Creator God. The Sovereign Maker is in control of us and has led you here to discover the life-giving message of the Bible. This is so because you are searching for insight into some Bible topic. You are likely tired of the worn out and irrational interpretations of the Scriptures which you have found in traditional Christian churches and assemblies or in Jewish synagogues.

Many are the denominational interpretations of the Bible. You can find hundreds of thousands of web pages which provide a traditional Christian interpretation of the Bible with all of their sectarian twists. But most are flawed because their understanding is rooted in a faulty and misguided theological model, the underpinnings of which are in the traditions and commandments of men.

The difference that this website provides is a re-examination of the Scriptures without all the sectarian trappings and nuances you find elsewhere. The writings and studies on this website are an outflow of my deep desire to know the Creator and to explain and proclaim the truths the Almighty has revealed through the Scriptures. We endeavor to seek out the true meaning of Scripture regardless if that interpretation supports any preconceptions we may have had or not.

You may be thinking, "Why does the writer of BibleTruth.cc think that his interpretation of Scripture is to be believed over the long standing teachings, doctrines, traditions and customs of the Christian churches and denominations? What makes this guy so sure that his teachings and interpretations of Bible are better than all these?" These are great questions to ask. And I have endeavored to answer these questions and queries in an article you can open here, entitled, "BibleTruth."

So this website provides a "proclamation" (teaching and living) of the Scriptures based upon an understanding that the Scriptures teach a unified, consistent message to mankind. This is rooted in the understanding that God himself does not change in his character and attributes, nor does he change his mind when it comes to sin and righteousness.

The Old and New Testaments are not mutually exclusive. The New does not replace the Old! Neither does the New Testament make the Law and the Prophets go away. The New Testament is a continuation of the Tanach (Old Testament). Messiah came to teach a proper observance and understanding of the Torah and the Prophets. Therefore, whenever someone's interpretation of the New Testament teaches a new and different thing than that which is taught in the Old, that interpretation must be off the mark. The New Testament teaches us of the renewal of the Covenant relationship which Yahuwah made with the patriarchs through the work and teaching and atoning sacrifice of Messiah.

What's New on BibleTruth.cc?

January 2012: The Everlasting Gospel is the subtitle to my website. Revisit this study article, if you please, and understand the scope of the Gospel that Paul writes about in his letters. I have updated and expanded this study to show the source materials of Paul's Gospel as found in the Torah and the Prophets.

October 2011: Every Christian has heard sermons about what Paul meant in Romans 12:1-2 about presenting your bodies as a living sacrifice. Yet, it is time to revisit this well known text to see what are the underlying Torah teachings to which Paul is referring. This is what we have put together in this article entitled, Romans 12:1-2 Presenting Your Body as a Living Sacrifice.

September 2011: It was time to update some of my original Bible study articles concerning the coming of Messiah. I have combined the old article called "The Rapture" and the article "The Coming of Messiah" into a comprehensive study of the major Pauline "rapture" passages. I think this study will put to rest the antiquated false doctrine of the pre-trib rapture for any serious Bible student who wants to know the truth. In The Coming of Messiah and the Rapture of the Church, I have provided ample evidence that Paul's teaching on the "rapture" was merely repetition and amplification of Messiah's teachings about his post-tribulation coming as recorded in Matthew 24 and its parallels.

July 2011: I have updated an article, formerly entitled An Apology, but now entitled What is BibleTruth, in which I explain the meaning of "truth" and offer additional instructions for how one can find out the true meaning and interpretation of Scripture. This article is my Apology, or Defense of the interpretations of Bible topics which I have written about here on BibleTruth.cc.

May 2011: The confusion about when Messiah was laid in the tomb and when he rose to life is cleared up and explained in an article called The Sign of Jonah: Three Days and Three Nights. Find out for yourself about what the Bible teaches on this important event. An understanding of the timing of these events is critical to validate Messiah's clear teaching about his death and resurrection.

April 2011: As the Easter season rolls around, I've done a major revision of my study on this topic. Entitled, the Truth About Easter, this study deals with the shocking origins of the Christian practices of the Lenten season, Good Friday observances and Easter Sunday. Though Easter may be the so called highest of Christian holy days, the study will show that there is very little that is Christian about Easter. Read the scandalous details, if you dare....

January 2011: Many times over the years I have tried to explain to Christians that the New Testament walk of faith is one of obedience to the Law of Moses. There is almost always blow back from conservatives who have been taught all their lives that the Old Testament Law has been done away with. I've been called names and my salvation has been questioned along with my motives. In an article entitled, Answers For My Conservative Christian Friends, I present the common objections Christians have against the notion of keeping the Old Testament Law. I want to answer these objections so that the Christian can see in a non-confrontational way that the Bible really teaches us that followers of Messiah are called to obey all God's Law as their faith response to the love of Messiah who died on the tree for us.

January 2011: In this article entitled, The Truth About Death, I have updated an old writing of mine explaining what happens to people when they pass away. Christians believe that believers' souls go straight to heaven to be in the presence of Jesus when they die. And they believe that sinners without Jesus will spend all of eternity in a conscience state in a torturous burning hell with no relief from their agony for all of eternity. This article sets the record straight about what really happens to people when they die.

December 2010: Order in the Body of Messiah is a controversial fresh look at the issue of the roles and responsibilities of men and women in the congregation of Yahuwah. For too long there has been chaos in the Body of Messiah as apostatizing churches and Messianic congregations have ignored the model displayed in the Torah and in the New Testament for the operation of the set-apart assemblies of Yahuwah. With rampant feminism unleashed in our midst, and with men abdicating their responsibility of leadership in the home and in the congregation, our meetings have been contaminated with the shame of secular liberalism. In this study article, you will find out what the Torah and the New Testament say about proper conduct of men and women at home and in assembly.

A Few of My Favorite Studies on BibleTruth.cc

The Sermon on the Mount is an eye opening study for anyone who wants to follow Messiah and walk in his footsteps. This is a concise commentary on the teachings in Matthew 5-7 with an emphasis on showing how the Messiah supported, explained and upheld the Torah of Mosheh as the correct walk of faith for all who follow Him.

1 Yochanan (The First Epistle of John) - A Practical Guide for the Walk of Faith is a thematic commentary. It's emphasis is to uncover and display the underlying Torah principles which inform Yochanan on the proper walk of faith.

"The Just Shall Live By Faith" explores the true meaning of faith from the Hebraic mind. It exposes the false and misleading notions of popular Christianity's concept of "faith." It compares Paul's righteousness by faith alone message with James' righteousness by works teaching. It proclaims the scriptural formula for pleasing the Almighty and finding oneself in favor before him.

The Gospel is an article which explains the Good News of Scripture from the point of view of the Hebraic context and culture of Israel. Popular Christianity sees the gospel as something very different than what the Scriptures teach, because they have torn it away from the prophetic utterances of Mosheh and the Prophets. This article seeks to restore an understanding of the Gospel by revisiting Paul's interpretation in the light of the Law and the Prophets.

DISCLAIMER:

You will not find any advertisements in the pages of this website. We are not owned or controlled by any man-made organization. Thus, we do not have to "tow the party line." We are able to unabashedly, unashamedly, and without sectarian pressure proclaim the truth propositions of the Bible.

Nonetheless, it would be foolish of me to say that I know it all and that all other interpretations are wrong. I cannot say that. What I present in this website is my understanding of the Scriptures after stripping (as best I can) all the flawed influences of tradition and custom from my thinking. If at any point I have misunderstood or misrepresented Scripture, I am always willing to hear the reasoning and adjust my understanding accordingly.
