To the Jew First, and also the Gentile
Are you looking for something better than the religious trash being offered out there?
If you want to know what the Bible says without a lot of fluff, and deception,
you have come to the right place.
Elijah
On the following pages, you will find articles and studies from the Word of God...the Bible...the Tenakh.
Whether you are a Jew or a Christian, you need to read what is here because world events are fast moving into Bible prophecy and will affect every person.
I have spent almost half a century studying the Scriptures outside the typical Jewish and Christian dogma, using only the Word of God; what I write is not based upon tradition or denominational doctrine.
If you are serious about understanding the Bible and finding God, then here is the place for you.
Of course, the world is full of Bible teaching, but if you read a little of what I have to say, you will begin to realize that you have not been hearing the truth, that those calling themselves Christians and Jews are NOT living according to the truth of the Scriptures.

Whether or not you believe the Bible, you should read at least some of what this site contains; I have been sitting at the feet of Jesus Christ outside the camp, as it were, learning from God apart from traditional explanations...oh yes, I started out in it as most folks do, whether Jew or Gentile, but I found that what the Bible says and what is being taught in synagogues and churches are two entirely different worlds.
I have been writing newsletters for many years as I have learned, trying to show folks that the Bible is a treasure house of wisdom and knowledge...of great truths not taught in traditional religions; if you come to God with an honest and sincere heart, you will be absolutely amazed what the Bible says...it is like a completely different read than what you have heard.
The Bible is different in that it is a LIVING WILL, that is, it is God speaking to us, but it also is a closed book in that you must approach God His way or He will not open it to you, as James one of the inspired Jewish writers said, 'God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble' (Ja.4.6); the protocol for understanding the Bible is very simple: you must come to God willing to accept what He says without debate or argument; you must simply believe that He is, and that He is the rewarder of those who seek Him (see Heb.11.6).
There are many who claim to represent God...the world is full of them, but any Bible reader will have some difficulty justifying what many of them do...building elaborate buildings, distorting the plain teachings of Jesus and the Prophets, and rejecting His commandments. You see them on television, listen to them on the radio, and you see their temples along every street and lane...but bigness does not beget godliness.
Oh, I know; you watch these self-made evangelists and rabbis on television waving the Bible in your face trying to convince you that they represent God...NOT SO. The things they teach are far from the truth, and as I have been telling folks for almost 50 years, they need to come out of denominations, no matter which one, and sit down with a Bible in their lap and read, read with a view, 'what saith the Lord,' rather than trying to justify what you have already been taught.
A few samples
Alright, let me pique your interest just a bit; let me ask you a few questions then I will give you the answers; here: what is eternal life? Want to think about that a little, okay...but when you are ready, read this:
3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.' (Jn.17.3 ESV)
TO KNOW GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE...TO KNOW JESUS, who is the Word of God IS ETERNAL LIFE! But, let's not stop there; read this also:
2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence...' (2 Pet.1.2,3 ESV)
You see, I have spent many years of my life trying to get people to sit down and read, but most are too busy; they do not know God from a Georgia peach pit, but they still think they have eternal life...not so!
Okay, next question: what is the bottom line of all we are asked to do in the Bible? What is the end of it? Come on now, you who suppose you know your Bibles, give me an answer...think on it, and then read this:
But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned...' (1 Tim.1.5 ASV)'
Love out of a pure heart?...do you know what love is? Here:
2 Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.' (1 Jn.5.7 ASV)
Love is not an emotion; if you love God you will be keeping His commandments (including the Sabbath) and you will be loving your neighbor as yourself...but consider what it says; A PURE HEART! A GOOD CONSCIENCE! GENUINE FAITH! God's people have none of these things, yet they claim to have all the promises of God.
