How Satan’s Deception Mill Has For Close To Two Millennia Produced All These Many Christians (Final Part 6 )

For example, if one believes all these revealed truths of the Most High One, but falls short of knowing, accepting, and expressing sincere faith in the fact that the Savior came to earth physically as one begotten of a virgin, one would never have the Most High One grant that person His salvation (cf. First John 4:2-3).

So then, since there is no witness of the Holy Scriptures about anyone called JESUS being begotten in the flesh of a human being, people who believe in the name JESUS would have believed in some phantom—an imaginary being that never lived in human flesh—and, thus, would have believed in vain, unable to gain the salvation of the Most High One!

From the accounts of the Holy Scriptures, while there are many witnesses to testify to the fact that YESHUA was the one crucified on Mt. Calvary in the year 30 CE, there is no single person in these same accounts who can witness to anyone by the name JESUS as being the one that was crucified; and for anyone today to try to do so by means of whatever skills in language translating he may have, would be telling lies and trying to do the impossible.

If Joseph and the Virgin Mary, Peter, James, and John, the closest apostles to the Savior were to visit our earth together now, and were asked the simple question as to what the name of the Savior is, what do you think their answers would be? Without a doubt, they would in unison shout out: YESHUA HaMashiach; the only name of the Savior that was in the beginning, is now, and shall forever be, time without end.

If it were also possible for Saul of Tarsus to talk to us on this same issue today, I am sure he would have vehemently refuted the claim of translators that he heard the Savior say to him—“I am JESUS whom thou persecutest:” (Acts 9:4). This is because the Savior could never have uttered the English “JESUS” as being his name—or even the Greek “IZEUS”—when he spoke in Hebrew to Saul!

For translators to try to make people believe that it was JESUS who ascended Mt. Calvary and was subsequently the one who was crucified under the instructions of Pilate is to teach and peddle falsehood; and for anyone to believe translators in this is to have allowed himself to be cheaply deceived.

Even though translators have, by their swap of YESHUA with JESUS, given the impression that the Most High One had accepted and approved what work they did, and that the Most High One would still grant His salvation to mankind in and by the name JESUS, salvation seekers would have seen through their deception long ago, if they had been a little more vigilant in their search for the truth of the salvation of the Most High One.

Consider what would have been the case if the Holy Scriptures in Hebrew were never translated into English (or Latin, or Greek)? The fact is that, but for the work done by translators in their translation of the Holy Scriptures, the name JESUS would never have come into the faith of salvation seekers at all.

The name, YESHUA, which had been set apart, hallowed, and ordained by the Most High One to be the name of His son by which mankind must enter His salvation would have been the only name known in the Holy Scriptures.

In that case, in all verses of the English Bible where we have translators state JESUS, we would have instead been reading YESHUA. Just think about this! Have salvation seekers not been deceived in and by their faith in the name JESUS as the Savior, arising from the work of translators?

Sad to state the obvious, but it is the faith of people in the name JESUS CHRIST that has produced and continues to produce all these many CHRISTIANS, throughout all these many centuries, purporting to have produced saints to populate the Kingdom of the Most High One. I shudder to think about what all these many kinds of CHRISTIANS truly are, and about their fate in the scheme and plans of the Most High One, when wheat and tares finally get sorted out from each other and the destruction of tares in unquenchable fires is commanded by YESHUA; or when sheep and goats are separated from one another in judgment!

Dear salvation seeker, remember that while men slept, the devil went and planted tares among the wheat the Most High One had planted by His wisdom. All the wheat the Most High One first planted and will always continue to plant, he does so in YESHUA. Sad to say that not long after the Most High One had first planted His wheat, the devil came along with his invention of the name JESUS CHRIST and, in and by this name, has planted his tares!

Yes, tares look very much like wheat; and this is where the salvation seeker needs wisdom from the Most High One to be safe in His salvation. Be not deceived, if miracles are performed in the name JESUS CHRIST, to think that it is the genuine name of the Savior, or even his nick-name, or his alias! You must know that Satan can do all manner of miracles in all manner of names, and since the name JESUS CHRIST does not originate from or belong to the Most High One, He has no hand in any miracles performed in this name! Just beware.

Know that the strength of Satan lies in his craftsmanship as master counterfeiter! Satan has wisdom enough to be able to make a counterfeit look very much like the genuine. I dare say he has achieved this in his faking of “Christians” to look very much like “The People of the Way”. Please, dear reader, just beware of Satan's prowess in counterfeiting.

Tares, by their nature and function, will always be more populous than wheat, so they will have the power and effect of choking the wheat to death. Where are “The People of The Way” in our world today? They are hardly available. They seem to have been choked to death by all the many CHRISTIANS of the numerous and ever-increasing denominations.

All these Christian denominations believe they are on the same pilgrimage that will take them assuredly to the Abode of the Most High One, and yet they cannot agree to be of one body, beliefs, and practices. While here on earth, confusion galore characterizes their faith and practices; all because the ruler of this world—Satan—who is the author of confusion has managed to confuse them in and by their faith in the name JESUS CHRIST.

Dear reader, I would like to end this article here by sharing with you a verse of scripture from Ezekiel 33:6. “But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned: if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand”.

Hopefully, this verse of scripture will explain my passion displayed in this write-up in trying to save my skin. It is my prayer that the Most High One will open your mind and spirit to understand and accept the issues revealed in this teaching. May you be aided by patience, humility, and perseverance, to accept this teaching so you may escape the sword of the devil which is about to devour the earth.

Shalom, shalom.
