Bible Matters 403: One World Church

For anyone that is a parent, brother or sister you’ll recognize that all members of a family are not made with the same level of empathy and love towards others.  Everyone is different. Some will drop everything and jump right in to help others in need.  Some will hoard money, while others will share freely.  Some will care about others with an open heart, while others turn and walk away.  Jesus told you exactly how people will behave.  In this following parable, the certain man had to be a Jew traveling from the Jewish towns of Jerusalem to Jericho.  After being robbed, a Jewish priest and a Jewish Levite passed by the man which was beaten half dead and laying on the street.  A Samaritan, with love in his heart, dressed the man’s wounds and then transported him to an inn to be cared for.  He paid for the man’s room and board at the inn.

Luke 10:30-36 – And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.  And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.  And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.  But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,  And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.  And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.  Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

In this parable, the priest and the Levite were the elite of the Jewish religion.  They walked right past the injured Jew.  It was a Samaritan that helped a Jew.  In that culture, the Samaritans were half Jew and half Gentile.  They were considered outcasts and the Jews wanted nothing to do with the Samaritans.   Yet, it was a Samaritan that was full of love.  Love that was made available to those that hate you.   In this parable, who did the will of God?  When God said love your neighbor, it goes beyond those that you like or associate with.  Ironically, I went to a church service several months ago and the lector was teaching on helping your neighbors.  He identified your neighbors as those that believe like you do!  Exactly the opposite message from the word of God. 

Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses, God’s commandments for the Jews and Gentiles are clear in the New Testament:

1)      Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.

2)      Love your neighbor as yourself.

Luke 10:27-28 – And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.  And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

All the other commandments from God are based on these two commandments.  If you can do this, then thou shalt live.  If man can follow these commandments, then the world shall be saved.

John 3:17 – For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

God knew that the sons of Noah were not spiritually the same.  Some descendants were spiritually strong, full of love and saw God reflected in their daily lives.  They lived in harmony and peace with the God of the earth.  They loved God, loved the earth and loved each other.  God did not have to worry about these spiritually strong individuals destroying the earth and mankind.  These spiritually strong neighbors got along and occasionally had to defend themselves from the spiritually lost.   These spiritually strong individuals are not spiritually lost.  They are doing as commanded by the Lord God and Creator of heaven and earth.

God messages for mankind are sent in three. 

1)      For Nineveh living in sin, God sent Jonah to teach them to repent and turn to God.  God would judge them if they did not turn.  They put on sackcloth and turned to God.   God saw their works!  God made them a great city. 

Jonah 3:10 – And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

2)      God immediately saw the Israelites turn from him and worshipped the golden calf when Moses was collecting the ten commandments on Mt. Sinai.   Works of animal sacrifice and cleansing of their sins with the spreading of blood on the altar. In all these works of religion, the Jews may not have experienced a change of heart toward God and fellow man.  God sent Jesus Christ, to teach the gospel and for the people to do the will of God.  When you hear and keep the sayings of God, you shall never see death.  (See Bible Matters 379: Gospel).  Jesus told you to repent and turn from your sin.  To purify your heart by obeying the truth through the Spirit and love one another.  To be converted from a child of the devil and to be born again as a child of God. To love God and your neighbor.  To follow the gospel of God.  To be willing to share God word.  Not for lucre but out of a ready mind. God sees the heart and he will be the judge.   (See Bible Matters 398: The Judge)

John 8:47,51 – He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

1 Peter 1:22 – Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

1 Peter 4:17 – For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

1 Peter 5:2,8 – Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

3)      You know that the twelve apostles and also Paul was sent to preach the gospel to the Jews and Gentiles. (See Bible Matters 368 – Gentile Apostles) God’s gospel message was clear through Jesus and yet he was ignored.  Eleven times, God said in the bible that out of the mouth of two or three witnesses, you shall know the truth.  I do not serve an arrogant God, but a loving and understanding God.   God knows the hearts of man   God knew that the Arabs were not going to worship God, brought to them out of the mouth of a Jew.   God recruited Paul to bring God’s gospel message to the Gentiles.    Paul was a Roman as well as a Jew.   God sent Muhammed to bring God’s gospel message to the Arabs.   Mohammed’s gospel message brought worship and glory to the God, as the creator of the heavens and earth.  In the seventh century AD, The Islamic prophet, Muhammad, was sent for the unification of Arabia.    The Arabic term Islam means surrender to the will of Allah (God.)   Allah is viewed as the sole God – creator, sustainer and restorer of the world.  In Islam, Muhammad is considered the last of the series of prophets and his message in the Koran, consummates and completes the “revelations” attributed to the earlier prophets.  A true Muslim man is just, kind, compassionate, forgiving, responsible, hard-working, humble, patient, forbearing, truthful, trustworthy, courageous, soft-hearted, honoring women, controlling his lower desires and impulses, fulfilling the needs of others before himself, continually refining his intellect, improving his character, seeking knowledge as a life-long learner, avoiding undignified behavior and sinful deeds, and emulating the character Prophet (ṣ) and his righteous followers to the best of his ability.

From 2) and 3) above, you recognize that a true follower of Christ, as taught by Jesus, is to live a righteous life in the same manner as a true Muslim man as taught by Muhamed.  In God’s eyes, there is no difference.   

What is 11/9/24 in Bible numbers:

11 – incompleteness, disorder, imperfection

9 – visitation

24 – priesthood

On Saturday, after a quick round of golf with a Christian friend of mine at Cedar Trace, I ate at a local restaurant and then visited Stonelick Lake.   Stonelick Lake is where God gave me verse after verse on Saturdays, after the jail ministry, which has led to the doctrine based on the truth in God’s word out of the mouth of two or three witnesses.  

After a period of prayer and meditation, God gave me Daniel 12:3

Daniel 12:3 – And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

In this year, “24”, of priesthood, God has visited us and is asking you to shine as the brightness on the firmament.  He has a job for us.   “To love him and to be his witness and bring others into his church of love, turning them to righteousness.”

Why incomplete?  “11”

God has sent prophet after prophet with a message of believe, change, love and live a life unto righteousness.  Simple enough, but man has turned each one of these prophet’s messages into self-serving doctrine with a message of self-righteousness.  Unless you believe like they believe, then you are going to hell.   Man has turned God’s word into hate and wars.   The truth in God’s word is not about worshipping the creature, but worshipping the creator.

 Romans 1:25 – Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Man has been ignorant to God’s word.

Today, that changes.   11/10/24 launches the One World Church which follows God divine order.     

10 – Divine Order, Law

In the One World Church the divine order that God has been given to man.  We recognize that God sends prophets to spread his message of love and his Gospel to the lost.  To teach the lost of sin and that after turning from sin, you are to live a righteous life by doing the will of God.  To seek knowledge and to serve God by serving others.  To be respectful of all and love others as you love yourself.   We are not ashamed to call on God, the creator of heaven and earth.  With a heart turned from stone and with the spirit within, to do the will of God.

Ezekiel 36:26-27 – A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.  And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

To live according to the royal law.

James 2:8 – If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

In the One World Church, we judge no one.  We know that we will be judged by God.  We worship God as the creator and not his creations.  Regardless if you identify as Hindu, Christian, Islam or other, God will know if you love him and served others from the heart.  The Inca Indians were living the will of God and religious men full of love for filthy lucre and false doctrine wiped out the Inca Indians in forty years.  Do not worry how someone else may be serving God and ask yourself, if you are doing the will of God from the heart.  God will know if you are ashamed of his gospel or if you trusted him and shared his word openly by your actions, words and acts of charity. Our God, is the God of love and not a God of hate.  If you claim to be part of any religious denomination and you practice hate, sin, murder or think that only you are the only ones going to heaven, then you have misunderstood the truth in God’s word.  

If you want to understand more about the will of God and the truth in his word from the bible, then go to www.churchofnineveh.com and understand God’s doctrine from the mouth of two or three witnesses. 

To God be the glory in all you do, Amen.
