Truth or lie?!

in #yeshua6 years ago

There are those in this world who believe they have a monopoly on the truth and I have found that most of these people are religious people. More and more I find myself confronted with people like that who will argue simple points to prove themselves as being the only ones who know the truth. What gets me is how fully they have deceived themselves to get to that point of belief.
Now you will tell me, "yes but you believe you have the truth as well" so why can't I?!
Contrary to the popular belief in this world that you can all have your own version of the truth, the actual truth is that there is only ONE Truth!
Truth is absolute! It is a binary matter! Yes or no! Off or on! Truth or lie!
If you believe the opposite to be true you have no logic in you nor any perception of reality!
It is for this reason there can be only One God, One True God and His Name is Yeshua(Jesus). There is no other God as Yeshua is the Truth! There are however many false gods just as opposed to the Truth there are many lies! Truth is and will always prevail as Yeshua is God and He is the Truth. (John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.)
Therefore all He says is Truth for He cannot lie, He is God Almighty! (Titus 1:2 Upon hope of life eternal, which promise was made by God who cannot lie, before time eternal).
Man on the other hand is a liar although capable of telling the truth but because we are also able to lie we cannot be trusted! Who is to know whether we lie or tell the truth?! (Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. )
So going by that scripture the only time we can tell the truth and know it is when we speak God's Word! Therefore only God's Word is to be trusted and let me be careful also here to mention that it is only in its original versions that it can be fully trusted as there have been many translations, in fact most of which have not only mistakes but purposed alterations in them be it additions or omissions!
It is why we need to be born again and led by the Holy Spirit to be able to discern the difference between the Truth and a lie. We are the lie but God in us is the Truth and all we need do to have the truth is to fully submit to His will and obey Him in all things! Not just some things and not just what you choose to obey because it suits you!
Alas many people live like this, living according to all that suits them and their version of the truth and once they live like this they reject the truth and thus reject Yeshua in their actions.
Any who live like this serve idols and the main idol is themselves! They have believe that age old lie of satan, that lie that made Adam and Chavah(Eve) fall in the garden of Eden! He said to them that they could be like God in other words taking His rightful place and dethrone Him in their lives!
That is exactly what these people do who follow their own version of the "truth".
So to them, hear this and open your hearts! Repent and follow Yeshua in Truth and by His Holy Spirit and stop lying to yourself and following self and worshipping self. Stop telling yourself you follow Yeshua when you don't even know His Word or will and you do not obey Him.
When He says don't serve other gods He also meant yourselves and those you manufacture in your own heads, gods who will agree with all you say and think and do!
These gods are preached to you not only by yourselves but by false prophets and preachers which say all you want to hear and reject all that the One True God is saying to you!
You know very well the reward that awaits you and them but you tell yourself that is something other people do and not you because you have the "truth", your version that is!
If what you believe to be the Truth does not conform to God's Word in any way it is a lie and not of God.
Just as an example many of these people love the prosperity gospel as it suits them and their agenda! They will accept preachers and false prophets telling them God wants to bless you and prosper you, look it says so here, (Deu 28:11 And Jehovah shall prosper you in goods, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers to give you. ).
And yes indeed you can make a case for God wanting to prosper you but it is not in worldly wealth that He means this! He means to prosper us in His Way, to be more like Yeshua, in His image we are to conform! For if He meant to prosper you with wealth than why would He say this, (Luk 14:33 So then, everyone of you who does not forsake all his possessions, he cannot be My disciple. ) or this, (Mat 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. )
But for those who do not care for Truth and following God's Word in obedience to His will this is easily dismissed with some doses of self deception and prescriptions of false gospel as preached by the false prophets!
Yeshua said, (John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. )
If then you wish to follow Him in Truth you would do so and keep His commandments and not make excuses why you can't and tell lies regarding them saying they no longer apply etc.
I have already had people arguing over these simple facts simply because they wish to make excuses for themselves as to why they live in disobedience to God's Word and His commandments! And just like the young rich man who spoke to Yeshua and said to Him, (Mar 10:20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. ) these people claim the same saying they have always tried to keep His commandments instead of telling the Truth and saying I have broken many of these Lord, please forgive me! It is then you notice they are the same as the rich young man in the parable when he went away dejected because Yeshua had asked him to give up all his money and come follow Yeshua! Yeshua had already made His will clear for those wishing to follow Him and that will has not changed since! For He is not a man that He should change!(1Samuel 15:29 And also the Glory of Israel will not lie nor repent, for He is not a man that He should repent.)
Yet still somehow these people manage to deceive themselves by saying God wishes to always bless them with money, even seeing money as a blessing from God when in actual fact it is the opposite to those who love it! (1Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all evils, of which some having lusted after, they were seduced from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.)
Yeshua said, (Mat 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. ) and if we follow Him that has to be the expectation for us as well, that we have nothing but what the Lord chooses to give us! Money is never a gift He gives to cherish but for a specific purpose be it to build His Kingdom in some way. He never gives more than is required. A case in point here when money was required, (Matthew 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.)
We are not to live according to the world's ways unless it is as above to avoid offending them. We as Yeshua's own have no need for money as He will provide for us all we need and yes sometimes that may be money as in the case here for paying tribute(taxes).
So let it be known among you people who claim to belong to Yeshua that you cannot have your own version of the "truth" but there is only One Truth, One Way and that is Yeshua, He is the Truth and it is He we need to obey in ALL things and be led by His Holy Spirit in ALL things.
If you hear yourself making excuses in your head, beware! You may very well have that all too common false god in your head that is really called self! The flesh will always seek to be the god in your life that controls you and that is why Yeshua said what He did through James, (James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.)
The word there for resist in Greek is αντιστητε and it means oppose or stand against and so it is much more than just resist, it requires your active participation in the process! Being a true believer and follower of Yeshua is not a passive role, it requires your action and as such your inaction or your apathy will eventually be your undoing as a true follower of Yeshua!
Speak only Truth and stand against the lie with all that you have and all that God has given you, stop lying to self and placating the devil!
Grow a backbone and stand straight, stand firm in your faith or you will not stand at all. The storm is coming and it is already here, stop being blown in the wind and being tossed to and fro! Stop tolerating several "versions of the truth"! There is only One and His Name is Yeshua and all who do not conform will lose and be counted among His enemies!
Remember before you go accusing me again of harshness, arrogance and whatever else I have had thrown my way it is spoken to you in this fashion, in TRUTH!
(2Ti 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
2Ti 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; )
In meekness, NOT weakness I tell you all as above stop opposing yourselves and deceiving yourselves! Fall in line with Yeshua or fall away! It is either Truth or lie, there is no in between, no grey area, no fence to sit on any more!
