The purpose of this blog is to:
- Point people DIRECTLY* to God’s Word. Follow Jesus, follow Jesus, follow Jesus (read God’s Word directly), and
- Demystify [make easier to understand] some of God’s Word.
- “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law”.
Deut. 29:29.
All of the translations are flawed in some way. Some are bad translations, and some are antiquated English which we don’t use any more. Some use “religious language”, which is nonsense. Has this been deliberate over the centuries, or is it just fallible human beings trying their best? Who knows (?), but we will try to clarify the important parts.
*DIRECTLY MEANS DIRECTLY. NO PASTORS NOR INCORPORATED, SO-CALLED, “CHRISTIAN” CHURCHES (CURRENTLY > 45,000 DENOMINATIONS, WORLDWIDE). ABSOLUTELY NO HUMAN BEING BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR CREATOR.
READ AND BELIEVE GOD’S WORD (THE BIBLE) DIRECTLY.
Jesus is the Word. The good message of John, first chapter:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Verse 14: And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace [graciousness] and truth.
John 1:1-5, 14.

LIGHT HEARTED CHEERFULNESS
That should help you in your understanding of the hurtful world around you, and your place in it.
Have you tried formal, humanly organized, “Christianity”, and not found it useful? Cheer up, you’re not the first:
Hypocrites [actors (stage players)]! Well did Isaiah prophesy [foretell events] about you, saying:
‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart [thoughts and/or feelings (mind)] is far from Me.
And in vain [to no purpose] they worship [revere/adore] Me,
Teaching as doctrines [instructions] the commandments [injunctions/religious precepts] of men [human beings].’ ”
Mat. 15:7-9
Very few human beings, in this day and age, are fearful before God’s Word:
. . . “But on this one will I look:
On him who is poor [depressed, in mind or circumstances] and of a contrite [smitten] spirit,
And who trembles [(is) fearful] at My word.
Isa. 66:2

PERSEVERE IN THE ORIGINAL, TRUE, DELEGATES’ INSTRUCTION [WITHOUT GETTING INTO PICKY DETAILS, WHAT WE CALL THE NEW TESTAMENT]:
And they continued steadfastly [earnest towards/persevered] in the apostles’ [delegates’] doctrine [instruction] and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Acts 2:42
Definition: Delegate: a person sent or authorized to represent others.
That is the original Greek. The delegates were sent out to represent Jesus. They did an amazingly good job.
