INTRO
Have you ever wondered: Why you are alive physically? Why the sky is blue? Why you have 2 eyes, 1 nose, 2 ears that don't look like almost all other animal's ears, 10 or 12 fingers (yes, some people do have 12), and 12 pairs of ribs (none are missing from the man)? Why? If someone could answer a thousand of my "why" questions, I'd have a thousand more. This is true until the answers become alike. But why would the answers become alike, you may be asking? Has anyone told you, "You ask too many questions?" If yes, then good. Why? Everything we have learned and have come to think of as common knowledge is because someone asked why. So, what if I told you everything is related? Planets, colors, time, space, atoms, animals, your body, and everything that has an existence are all related to the first ancient alphabet. Impossible? Why? What if man didn't make the alphabet, but the One who made everything else made it? Now we are talking about God? Yes! Did you know it is harder to not believe in God than to believe in God. Here is the proof: The whole point of evolution is to prove we were made by something other than God. If we were made by God, evolution is not needed. If evolution is true, you do not need a God. Even if aliens made people, something made the aliens. So, evolution or God? I'm going to paraphrase "A Skeptic's Search for God" by Ralph O. Muncaster: There are no laws of physics 100% proven, they are considered laws and proven when there is 1 chance in 1050 of the law not happening (1050 is 10 with 50 zeros behind it). Gravity is a law; it is assumed there is less than 1 chance in 1050 of something not falling when it is dropped. The odds of the first cell/bacterium to be randomly made with 10,000 amino acid links to make 100 protein chains (way less than what are in any bacteria today) with DNA of 100,000 base pairs (500,000 is the least amount seen today) having all left-handed and right-handed orientations take place in both DNA and amino acids within a 15 billion time period(assumed age of the universe) are (the odds are) 1 chance in 1099,999,999,879. That is a 10 with 99,999,999,879 zeros behind it. This is the possibility that one bacteria was made by chance. So, according to science, it is completely impossible life was put together randomly. Also, this impossible situation only puts a dead bacteria together, it still has to be given life. With it being easier to believe in God than evolution, what god is the right God? Can this be proven? If we are going to say one of the many books of all the religions was written by God telling a few men exactly what to write, then the book(s) of those writings has to be beyond man. We are talking about a God who created the Universe. It is not a little place or simple in its construction. We can spend our time studying the books of many religions (which I've done), or we can look at this from a different direction. The Bible states there is only one God and no others (Dt 4:35; Mk 12:28, 29, 30). If the Bible can be shown to be beyond man, we no longer have to test the other books. Detailed 100% accurate prophecy of future events is impossible for anyone but the Lord who created the heavens and the earth. There are hundreds of prophecies in the Bible that have 100% accurately come true. Some of these prophecies are posted HERE and HERE. Also, If man alone wrote the Bible, which was written 1000s of years ago, he would have written about the Earth being flat and not a sphere as stated in Isaiah. This is something beyond man. This type of material is absent from other religious books. (I do not want to rewrite what so many others have already written, so I am directing you to a good website. This website starts with science written in the Bible which a human could not have written at the time without the direction of something beyond man. You can read the science & prophecy section, then come back and read the short version here or stay there and get an in depth look. I may not agree with everything at this site, but so far I really like the site. Click HERE for the science.) Next, I would like to paint a word picture of the Bible. First, let us look at a picture of the city of Heaven. The city of Heaven is the new Holy of Holies (place where the Glory of God resides) and is called the New Jerusalem. This is a city of pure gold (Rev 12:18), with a street of pure gold (Rev 21:21), with the jeweled walls of the city being the same length, width, and height of about 1500 miles. This makes the city slightly smaller than the Moon or about 1/2 the size of the U.S.A. Each of its 12 doors are a single pearl (Rev 21:16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21). In the city everything is holy and perfect (Rev 21:4, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27). There is a crystal clear river running from the throne of God that waters the grass and trees [whose leaves heal the nations] (Rev 22:1, 2). God's glory is what gives light to the city where there is never darkness. A perfect place to live. The Lord Who created mankind is holy and nothing unholy can be in His presence without being consumed by fire (Ex 19:18, 24:17; Lev 10:1,2; Dan 7:9, 10, 11). When a person does anything against the Lord (or sins), the person becomes unholy. The Lord created all mankind and is not going to destroy what He has made, so all mankind will live forever (Rev 20:12, 13). Sin cannot be in the presence of a holy God without being burned and, as a loving Father, the Lord is going to bring all created mankind back into His presence. This creates a big problem for us. Our sin is like putting oil on a rag (ourselves); an oiled rag can no longer be made new again. How many sins does it take to make a person unholy? How many times does a person have to murder to be a murderer? Once. If the murderer goes to jail and gets out, goes to church, does all the good in the world, and saves other people from death, is he still a murderer? He still murdered, so yes. How many times does a person have to lie to be a liar? Once, and before a holy God there is no such thing as a good lie (Rev 21:8; Isa 66:24). The Bible states no one is good and all have fallen short of the glory of God (Rom 3:10, 11, 12; Ps 5:9; 140:3; 10:7; 36:1; Isa 59:7). If you say you have never sinned, then you would be calling the Lord a liar. That would be a sin in itself. If we all have sinned and the unholiness cannot be removed from our bodies, we will be consumed by fire forever when we come into the presence of the Lord forever with our bodies never being destroyed (not a pretty picture) (Rev 14:10,11; Mk 9:43, 45, 47, 48). This is not what our Father wants for our eternal lives (2Pe 3:9). So, what does Yeshua/Jesus dying on a cross have to do with this picture? We deserve death/punishment for our sin. The first and only rule was to not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, or man would surely die (Ge 2:16, 17). Death was the punishment and was a result of us being separated from God; for it is God who gives us breath to live and without God we die (Ge 2:7). There is a second death called the "Lake of Fire" (Rev 21:8; Dan 7:10). The "Lake of Fire" is the same river flowing from the throne in New Jerusalem/city of Heaven into a new Holy Place (a place beside the Holy of Holies) where a person with sin still on them will be in the presence of the Lord, but not before His face or in the city of Heaven/Holy of Holies. Yeshua is both man and God and has never sinned. If He was just a man, He would have sinned and deserved to die. Since He never sinned, He did not deserve to die. He chose to die for us. The easiest way to explain this is to see the Lake of Fire as the Continuous Punishment Place. In our house, someone can take the punishment of someone else and the punishment is still met. So, a person in trouble who deserves a punishment can have someone else who volunteers to get the punishment instead. This is what Yeshua did on the cross. He volunteered to get our punishment of death for anyone who will accept Him and what He did. He is not going to force anyone to take His death for themselves. But, if a person believes Yeshua did die on the cross for them, then that person no longer has to go to the Continuous Punishment Place/Lake of Fire/Second Death, because Yeshua already died a death (He did not deserve to die) for the person who deserved to die the Second Death. All mankind has to die the first death because we sinned and pushed the Lord away, leading to our breath of life from the Lord being removed from us. A person does not have to die the second death, if they accept Yeshua's death as his/her own second death (Rom 10:9, 10; 1 Jn 5:10, 11, 12, 13; Jn 3:16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21). Not only did Yeshua have to be God in order not to sin, He had to be God to die for every sin of everyone who accepts Him. If Yeshua was just a man, He could only die for the sin of one person. Since Yeshua is an infinite God, He can die for an infinite amount of sins of an infinite amount of people for an infinite amount of time. Why are those who believe in Yeshua not consumed by fire since they are still sinners? All who believe in Yeshua as their Savior and Lord/God in their hearts will receive a new holy body before they enter into the city of Heaven/New Jerusalem. These new bodies do not have any sin for the Lord's fire to burn. Anyone who rejects God's offer will remain with their sin in their old bodies. Each person has a choice. The Lord will not force anyone to follow and worship Him (1 Cor 15:50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57). Remember we can die at any time, and our choice can not be changed after we die. There is no reincarnation in the Bible (Heb 9:27). (If you believe in reincarnation and reincarnation is a false teaching, you will not have a second chance to find out.) It is time to continue with the Hebrew alphabet. Some things to keep in mind: Everything comes together through this ancient alphabet. Like each letter of the alphabet has to be learned before you can read and write, so learning each ancient letter will help you read the story of creation. A map that interrelates everything, helps bring everything together, but becomes quite large. Some items within the map are or will be clickable to give you more information. The Map may also be purchased as a poster from the store link off to the left (the best deal so far being when they mark items 15% off, if you know of a cheaper site to print posters please email me). The categories off to the left side of this site are overall introductions and information to this site and will be where you want to begin if you choose not to continue below. May your journey be blessed. (As of yet, this site is very much incomplete and will continue to grow. Much of the information is given in small amounts, if it exists, in order to get someone started. Future plans are to elaborate more on each topic.) |
