About my purpose on this Library

 

Dear friends of this Library,

I hope it will help someone in the Library, if he is interested in my work in this case. I was invited to study and make research like many of you.

 

I am glad that many of you have a strong faith and multiple knowledge in the Bible topics. Reading your interest in my posts, it is possible also that many have troubles in understand some Bible topics well. God’s plan is well placed on the prophecies of the Bible and I have little to add or remove. Having faith in God Almighty and in His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, by grace, we will be fine and not affected by the coming great crisis in which the world struggles in the future. We will stand in hope and prayers. Why shouldn't we be afraid? Because Lord Jesus, the Son of God told us not to be afraid, God, his Father, is in control in our life (Matthew 10:26-31).

 

Regarding my work in this Library is not to undermine the Bible, and I do not believe that somebody see me doing this, or for this purpose. Maybe there are new people who didn't understand this. That is why I want it to be clear to everyone, the Bible message is holy and its prophecies will soon certify this to skeptics as well. Textual comparison is a very sensitive area - it also has a strange name in it, which makes it sound bad "textual criticism" and many confuse it with criticizing the Bible. Not at all! What we must do, is to understand better the text.

 

Why back to Bible manuscripts?

The Bible Translation Net states: "Unfortunately, there are no original manuscripts (called" autographs ") of any of the biblical books that have been recovered, and since there are no existing manuscripts that would agree with each other in every detail, textual evaluation is needed to solve the problems of variation. Alfred E. Housman, a textual evaluator of classical works, shows that textual evaluators are based on "common sense and the use of reason." In short, textual evaluation is science and art, which aims to determine the [initial] drafting of a text. It is a science because specific rules regulate the evaluation of different types of copyist errors and readings, but it is also an art, because these rules cannot be rigidly applied in any situation."

 

So, as you see, Textual Evaluation ( or “textual criticism”) is a kind of spiritual textual journey behind the ancient scribal scenes, it shows us by what chain the biblical text reached us, the text differences between manuscripts, the modifications operated in them accidentally or not, including the time (century) in which these changes were operated, by writers (copyists).

 

A good evaluation of the text coming only by knowing the whole Bible. There is no harmony in the Bible unless we use the whole Bible. We will not understand the Bible in depth unless we not read it as a whole.

 

The mastery of things must go from the simple to the difficult. For example, according to Lord Jesus, we will not be forgiven unless we forgive (Matthew 6:15).

Understanding and practice of  the love must go hand in hand. I had a friend who wanted to understand the whole Bible, being hardcore learned in theology and then start living it. He died as a young man, having a heart attack, without starting to do what he intended.

The Biblical law of God is didactic, preventive and corrective, in order to know our role and place in society. We do not consider it a fence that impedes our freedom, but a fence that protects our freedom. We do not confuse freedom with anarchy. In one word, the Law of God is love, without which mankind cannot be happy or saved. If we want to be happy for a moment, take revenge. If we want to be happy all our life, let’s forgive and love.

A warning! Whoever does not wish to be saved through the Gospel of Love during his life loses this opportunity forever (be careful!): “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. "(John 3:36) This is why the Gospel or the Good News is of paramount importance.

 

I have collaborators who are very curious and sometimes they ask me if I am a Jehovah’s Witness, Bible Student, Adventist or Pentecostal or Baptist, etc.. None of this. People are amazed that in some things we look like all of them, yet we are not like any of them. You probably wonder who we are as a Christian group, what do we think? I am just a Christian, called only in this way, being interested in the classic Christianity way of thinking and living. Because some have asked me, if we only preach the message about the Father and his Son Jesus Christ - meaning who they are - or their message, what does the news of the Father and Son tell us? I answered them as both, because these two cannot be separated. I find it strange to just announce the message of the Father and the Son and not to say the message about them, meaning who they are, right? That is why I would like everyone to understand me well, as possible.

 

The Christian message is not only who the Almighty Father is, the wonderful Creator of Heaven and Earth and His glorious Son, our Lord, Savior and High Priest – King Jesus Christ, but also their loving message to mankind: From His love for the entire human race, God sent His only-begotten Son, who mirrors (reflects) the glory and being (likeness in character and character) of God, and His Son came from heaven -  from love, not forced by anyone, teaching us what the love of God and our fellowmen really means, giving his life as a ransom for us, to save us from sin and eternal death, which destroys each of us (John 1:1, Hebrews 1:1-3, John 3:13,16, John 17:1-3, Exodus 21:23, Matthew 20:28).

 

The biblical order of future events is this: 1. The rapture of the church in heaven - and here I refer only to the faithful, who will have passed the test, who will not fall. Who will fall remain on earth, but will have one last chance, to repent in the short time they are given. God will give this after the rapture, in a time called the gathering of all the peoples - that is, of the living, who have not died yet - for the trial. The world will be warned by the faithful church beforehand, before the rapture, that this evil world will be judged by some great plagues, those who will be afraid and repent in this great tribulation, will be saved, who will not, will perish: He said with a loud voice, "Fear God and give Him glory, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of waters!" (Revelation 14:7) Note that this period will be very short, because it is called a hour, the events from that time will be lightning fast.

2. Gathering of all the nations of the earth to be judged - great attention my dear sir, this will be done before the millennium, not in the millennium or after the millennium, I say this according to Scripture, please read this important fragment carefully from the Gospel about this judgment, which stands before all the peoples of the earth: Matthew 25 31. When the Son of man shall come in his glory with all the holy angels, he shall sit upon the throne of his glory. 32. All nations shall be gathered before Him. He will separate the others as the shepherd divides the goats; 33. and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left. 34. Then the King will say to that of His right hand, "Come you blessed of My Father and inherit the Kingdom that has been prepared for you since the foundation of the world. So whoever does not believe the message of warning to the world, which will be made by true believers before being taken to heaven, will suffer the losing of their lives. The true church here is very beautifully called the "brethren" of Jesus (Matthew 25: 40,45). 3. THE REGIME OF A THOUSAND YEARS or the Messianic millennium. What is this Millennium? A curious but unhappy lady asked me why it is so long until the rapture, because here 2000 years have passed and Jesus still does not come. Well, this problem of salvation is not so simple. Salvation does not mean belonging to Christianity and going to church on Sunday. This is formalism or cultural Christianity and most do this, without thinking deeply about what Christianity really means and therefore they are not Christians, only by name, but in their being they are not Christians and will be rejected as inauthentic. To be a Christian is to live according to God's requirements. Whoever does not live like this is not a Christian, can be called any way he wants: pope, bishop, priest, old man, deacon, Christian or anyway he wants. They are like empty words. So that is why it is so long since there were not enough people to achieve this goal. The lady was not too pleased with my answer, because as the rich young man in the gospel, seeing that being faithful also means sacrifices not only joys, this did not suit him. They want a talisman-god, when you need something to rub a little the lamp and have it at your command. This means the reduction of God from the sovereign state, to something derisory, to the position of your slave. When the number of believers chosen for heaven will be reached, this great grace, of being with God always in heaven, will close forever. Then the period called "the great tribulation" will begin, which will choose, so to speak, the world's population. Billions of people will be killed in a relatively short period of time. Only those who will understand and agree with what is going on, will be saved and will enter the millennial kingdom of the earth, letting themselves be governed by God, through Jesus and his companions (the true church): The Revelation of John 15 1. Then I saw another great and wonderful sign in heaven: seven angels who had seven plagues, the last, because with them the wrath of God was wrought. 2. And I saw a sea of ​​glass mixed with fire; and on the sea of ​​glass, with the instruments of God in hand, were the victors of the beast, of its icon and of the number of its name. 3. They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb. And they said, "Thy works are great and wonderful, O Lord God Almighty! Right and true are Your ways, King of the nations! 4. Who will not fear, O Lord, and who will not glorify your name? For only Thou art holy, and all the nations shall come and worship before Thee, for Thy judgments have been revealed. " Of course, the kingdom of the earth will be splendid, death will cease, all will live in peace and harmony, will have everything, will be judged righteous, if someone will do something wrong and will be unintentionally, he will be forgiven, if not he will be automatically eliminated, that there will be no prisons, billions of people will be born and educated according to the heavenly laws and then put to the test after the end of a thousand years. Whoever falls will be eliminated, whoever will resist the temptation will be blessed forever. The role of the millennium is for all creatures to see the DIFFERENCE between the rule made by Satan and that of God. In this thousands of years, God will show the future world that His rule is far superior to all rulers inspired and led by the forces of darkness, Satan and his demons. Only those who recognize this and worship Him in obedience will have the right to eternal life.

Why will all this happen? Because a (former) high angel (cherub) became Satan the Devil, because he rebelled against the Creator, desiring to overthrow him and fulfill his own reign in the Universe (Revelation 12: 9). The time we live in is called the "end time", so to speak, the last years of the Devil's reign. His reign of terror and suffering will soon end, being removed from the loving reign of the Father and his Son. Satan the devil has introduced sin into existence and for this reason he is responsible for all the sins that have been committed (John 8:44). The payment of the sin is death, first the common one, the Adamic death and then the second death, which will be applied after the resurrection and the judgment since then, to those who consciously practiced sin. Eternal grief as a payment for sins is not biblically justified, as you will see from Hebrews 10:26. "For if we sin freely, after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there is no sacrifice left for sins, 27. but a frightening expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire that will consume the rebels." This is the TERRIBLE FIRE WHICH CONSUMES PEOPLE, AS WE SEE from Malachi 4: 1. For behold, the day cometh, which shall burn as an oven. All the deceivers and all the wicked shall be as stubbornness; the day that cometh shall burn them, saith the LORD of hosts, and shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2. But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise, and healing shall be under his wings; you will go out and jump like the calves in the stable. 3. And thou shalt tread upon the wicked: for they shall be ashes under the soles of thy feet in the day that I shall prepare them, saith the LORD of hosts. In the last days of the reign of terror and suffering of the Devil, will be a great tribulation on earth and during this time a NUMBER of all nations will leave the cults of the corrupt religious system, preparing for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 25: 1-13, Revelation chapters 7 and 18). At that time, traditional religions - and here we refer to all, including the heathen - will not only lose the support of state authorities, but will be abolished by a political decree of the World Government of the New World Order (NWO), which will appear on the stage of the new political world (Revelation 17:16). Instead, to fill the void of spiritual needs, the World Government will establish worship at the beast's icon (Revelation 13:15). During this period, what the apostle Paul called "denial of faith" will appear a charismatic political leader called "the man of iron, the son of perdition" (2 Thessalonians 2: 3). But the Antichrist will not rule much, for he will be destroyed at the second coming of the Lord, and God will restore his kingdom to earth through his Son, the King appointed for it, who, after its preparation at God's will, destroying any opposition and enemy, he will surrender all the authority of his Father, that God the Father may be all in all (1 Corinthians 12: 6). As spiritual soldiers in the army of the Father and His Son, God calls us to be conquerors and carry us in His victory chariot, until we conquer even the last devil's redoubt, which is death. God's message is that he loves us and wants our highest good, which is why he urges us to always be on his side. The purpose of the commandment is love, because true love builds, but comes from hearing the truth that makes us free, in the sphere of peace. May God bless you, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Hallelujah, Amen!

 

God bless everybody with His truth! In Lord Jesus name, amen!
