Christian Religion- the great whore " mystery Babylon ( Hypocrisy) or Godliness ( A personal relationship with LORD GOD YESHUA MESSIAH with faith and Obedience to HIS ship teaching ) what you have?
Father Abraham had Faith and Obedience to the Almighty God WHO called him.
LORD' YESHUA MESSIAH calls you to FOLLOW HIM WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH FAITH AND OBEDIENCE TO HIM.
LORD' GOD YESHUA MESSIAH calls each and every one of earthly human to HIM
Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I AM humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
I tell you the truth, I AM the gate for the sheep. All who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. Yes, I AM the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
“I AM the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep.
“I AM the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.
“The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded.”
YESHUA, the True Vine
“I AM the true grapevine, and MY FATHER is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.
“Yes, I AM the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my FATHER.
There is one GOD and one MEDIATOR WHO can reconcile GOD and humanity—the Man YESHUA MESSIAH (Christ Jesus). HE gave HIS life to purchase freedom for everyone.
This is the message GOD gave to the world at just the right time. And I have been chosen as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles this message about faith and truth. I’m not exaggerating—just telling the truth.
In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to GOD, free from anger and controversy.
And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to GOD should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.
Women should learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly. For GOD made Adam first, and afterward HE made Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result. But women will be saved through childbearing, assuming they continue to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty.
The Truths of Our Faith
I am writing these things to you now, even though I hope to be with you soon, so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of GOD. This is the church of the living GOD, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth.
Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith
ELOHIM was revealed in a human body
and vindicated by the SPIRIT.
HE was seen by angels
and announced to the nations.
HE was believed in throughout the world
and taken to heaven in glory.
LORD GOD YESHUA replied to the Jewish Rabbi Nicodemus, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of GOD .”
“What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”
YESHUA replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of GOD without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the HOLY SPIRIT gives birth to spiritual life. So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the SPIRIT .”
“How are these things possible?” Nicodemus asked.
YESHUA replied, “You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don’t understand these things? I assure you, we tell you what we know and have seen, and yet you won’t believe our testimony. But if you don’t believe me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life.
“For this is how GOD loved the world: He gave* his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. GOD sent HIS SON into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through HIM.
“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in HIM. But anyone who does not believe in HIM has already been judged for not believing in GOD’s one and ONLY SON. And the judgment is based on this fact: GOD’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what GOD wants.”
YESHUA Claims to Be the SON of GOD
So the Jewish leaders began harassing* YESHUA for breaking the Sabbath rules. But YESHUA replied, “ MY FATHER is always working, and so am I.” So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill HIM. For HE not only broke the Sabbath, HE called GOD HIS FATHER, thereby making HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD.
So YESHUA explained, “I tell you the truth, the SON can do nothing by HIMSELF. HE does only what HE sees the FATHER doing. Whatever the FATHER does, the SON also does. For the FATHER loves the SON and shows HIM everything HE is doing. In fact, the FATHER will show HIM how to do even greater works than healing this man. Then you will truly be astonished. For just as the FATHER gives life to those HE raises from the dead, so the SON gives life to anyone HE wants. In addition, the FATHER judges no one. Instead, HE has given the SON absolute authority to judge, so that everyone will honor the SON, just as they honor the FATHER. Anyone who does not HONOR the SON is certainly NOT HONOURING the FATHER WHO SENT HIM.
“I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in GOD WHO sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.
“And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when the dead will hear my voice—the voice of the SON of GOD. And those who listen will live. The FATHER has life in HIMSELF, and HE has granted that same life-giving power to HIS SON. And HE has given HIM authority to judge everyone because HE is the SON of MAN. Don’t be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of GOD’s SON, and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment. I can do nothing on MY OWN. I judge as GOD tells ME. Therefore, MY judgment is just, because I carry out the Will of the ONE who sent ME, not my own will.
Witnesses to YESHUA.
“If I were to testify on my own behalf, my testimony would not be valid. But someone else is also testifying about ME, and I assure you that everything he says about ME is true. In fact, you sent investigators to listen to John the Baptist, and his testimony about me was true. Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I say these things so you might be saved. John was like a burning and shining lamp, and you were excited for a while about his message. But I have a greater witness than John—my teachings and my miracles. The FATHER gave me these works to accomplish, and they prove that HE sent ME. And the Father WHO sent ME has testified about ME himself. You have never heard HIS voice or seen HIM face to face, and you do not have HIS message in your hearts, because you do not believe ME —the ONE HE sent to you.
“You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to ME! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.
“Your approval means nothing to me, because I know you don’t have God’s love within you. For I have come to you in my Father’s name, and you have rejected me. Yet if others come in their own name, you gladly welcome them. No wonder you can’t believe! For you gladly honor each other, but you don’t care about the honor that comes from the one who alone is GOD.
“Yet it isn’t I who will accuse you before the FATHER. Moses will accuse you! Yes, Moses, in whom you put your hopes. If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. But since you don’t believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
YESHUA, the Way to the FATHER
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in GOD, and trust also in ME. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.”
“No, we don’t know, LORD,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
YESHUA told him, “I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one can come to the FATHER except through ME. If you had really known ME, you would know WHO my FATHER is. From now on, you do know HIM and have seen HIM!”
Philip said, “ LORD, show us the FATHER, and we will be satisfied.”
YESHUA replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the FATHER ! So why are you asking me to show him to you? Don’t you believe that I am in the FATHER and the FATHER is in ME? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through ME. Just believe that I AM in the FATHER and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do.
“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the FATHER. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!
YESHUA Promises the HOLY SPIRIT
“If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another ADVOCATE, WHO will never leave you. HE is the HOLY SPIRIT, WHO LEADS into all TRUTH. The world cannot receive HIM, because it isn’t looking for HIM and doesn’t recognize HIM. But you know HIM, because HE lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live. When I AM raised to life again, you will know that I AM in my FATHER, and you are in me, and I AM in you. Those who accept MY commandments and obey them are the ones who love ME. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”
Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to him, “ LORD, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?”
YESHUA replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My FATHER will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey ME. And remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the FATHER WHO sent me. I am telling you these things now while I AM still with you. But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the HOLY SPIRIT — HE will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
“I AM leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. Remember what I told you: I AM going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the FATHER, who is greater than I am. I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.
“I don’t have much more time to talk to you, because the ruler of this world ( Anti Messiah- satan, devil the old crooked deceiving SERPENT) approaches. He has no power over ME,but I will do what the FATHER requires of ME, so that the world will know that I love the FATHER. Come, let’s be going.

HE was believed in throughout the world
and taken to heaven in glory.
LORD GOD YESHUA replied to the Jewish Rabbi Nicodemus, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of GOD .”
“What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”
YESHUA replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of GOD without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the HOLY SPIRIT gives birth to spiritual life. So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the SPIRIT .”
“How are these things possible?” Nicodemus asked.
YESHUA replied, “You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don’t understand these things? I assure you, we tell you what we know and have seen, and yet you won’t believe our testimony. But if you don’t believe me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life.
“For this is how GOD loved the world: He gave* his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. GOD sent HIS SON into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through HIM.
“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in HIM. But anyone who does not believe in HIM has already been judged for not believing in GOD’s one and ONLY SON. And the judgment is based on this fact: GOD’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what GOD wants.”
YESHUA Claims to Be the SON of GOD
So the Jewish leaders began harassing* YESHUA for breaking the Sabbath rules. But YESHUA replied, “ MY FATHER is always working, and so am I.” So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill HIM. For HE not only broke the Sabbath, HE called GOD HIS FATHER, thereby making HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD.
So YESHUA explained, “I tell you the truth, the SON can do nothing by HIMSELF. HE does only what HE sees the FATHER doing. Whatever the FATHER does, the SON also does. For the FATHER loves the SON and shows HIM everything HE is doing. In fact, the FATHER will show HIM how to do even greater works than healing this man. Then you will truly be astonished. For just as the FATHER gives life to those HE raises from the dead, so the SON gives life to anyone HE wants. In addition, the FATHER judges no one. Instead, HE has given the SON absolute authority to judge, so that everyone will honor the SON, just as they honor the FATHER. Anyone who does not HONOR the SON is certainly NOT HONOURING the FATHER WHO SENT HIM.
“I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in GOD WHO sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.
“And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when the dead will hear my voice—the voice of the SON of GOD. And those who listen will live. The FATHER has life in HIMSELF, and HE has granted that same life-giving power to HIS SON. And HE has given HIM authority to judge everyone because HE is the SON of MAN. Don’t be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of GOD’s SON, and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment. I can do nothing on MY OWN. I judge as GOD tells ME. Therefore, MY judgment is just, because I carry out the Will of the ONE who sent ME, not my own will.
Witnesses to YESHUA.
“If I were to testify on my own behalf, my testimony would not be valid. But someone else is also testifying about ME, and I assure you that everything he says about ME is true. In fact, you sent investigators to listen to John the Baptist, and his testimony about me was true. Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I say these things so you might be saved. John was like a burning and shining lamp, and you were excited for a while about his message. But I have a greater witness than John—my teachings and my miracles. The FATHER gave me these works to accomplish, and they prove that HE sent ME. And the Father WHO sent ME has testified about ME himself. You have never heard HIS voice or seen HIM face to face, and you do not have HIS message in your hearts, because you do not believe ME —the ONE HE sent to you.
“You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to ME! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.
“Your approval means nothing to me, because I know you don’t have God’s love within you. For I have come to you in my Father’s name, and you have rejected me. Yet if others come in their own name, you gladly welcome them. No wonder you can’t believe! For you gladly honor each other, but you don’t care about the honor that comes from the one who alone is GOD.
“Yet it isn’t I who will accuse you before the FATHER. Moses will accuse you! Yes, Moses, in whom you put your hopes. If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. But since you don’t believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
YESHUA, the Way to the FATHER
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in GOD, and trust also in ME. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.”
“No, we don’t know, LORD,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
YESHUA told him, “I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one can come to the FATHER except through ME. If you had really known ME, you would know WHO my FATHER is. From now on, you do know HIM and have seen HIM!”
Philip said, “ LORD, show us the FATHER, and we will be satisfied.”
YESHUA replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the FATHER ! So why are you asking me to show him to you? Don’t you believe that I am in the FATHER and the FATHER is in ME? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through ME. Just believe that I AM in the FATHER and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of the work you have seen me do.
“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the FATHER. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!
YESHUA Promises the HOLY SPIRIT
“If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another ADVOCATE, WHO will never leave you. HE is the HOLY SPIRIT, WHO LEADS into all TRUTH. The world cannot receive HIM, because it isn’t looking for HIM and doesn’t recognize HIM. But you know HIM, because HE lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live. When I AM raised to life again, you will know that I AM in my FATHER, and you are in me, and I AM in you. Those who accept MY commandments and obey them are the ones who love ME. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”
Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to him, “ LORD, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?”
YESHUA replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My FATHER will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey ME. And remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the FATHER WHO sent me. I am telling you these things now while I AM still with you. But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the HOLY SPIRIT — HE will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
“I AM leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. Remember what I told you: I AM going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the FATHER, who is greater than I am. I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.
“I don’t have much more time to talk to you, because the ruler of this world ( Anti Messiah- satan, devil the old crooked deceiving SERPENT) approaches. He has no power over ME,but I will do what the FATHER requires of ME, so that the world will know that I love the FATHER. Come, let’s be going.
