The Prophetic Parable Of Lazarus And The Rich Man – Part 1

Introduction

This article could and perhaps should have been entitled: When Christians Die, Do They Instantly “Go To Be With The Lord”? – Part 3, (see link below for parts 1 & 2), but that, to some degree, would be missing the point. The question of whether this passage of Holy Scripture proves or does not prove that we ‘go to be with The Lord’ when we die is really only a side issue. Yashua Messiah’s (The Lord Jesus Christ’s) intended theme and Spiritual thrust of this story has a different purpose altogether. Needless to say, this theme is totally missed or ignored by the Bible ‘experts’. Moreover, this parable is so well known, and so much discussed, it had to be used as the title of this article. You will therefore notice that I have deliberately referred to this passage of Holy Scripture as a Prophetic Parable, for that is what it is.

Now calling it a Prophetic Parable will upset many in the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion (mainstream Christianity), because it is one of their ‘golden nugget’ sections of the New Testament, which they misuse. This is because they use it to support their mythical ideas that they: 1) instantaneously ‘Go to be with the Lord’ when they die, that is, they go straight to heaven when they die (yet another lie) and 2) ‘sinners’ go straight to a fiery hell; otherwise known as Purgatory by deluded ignorant Papists.

However, unfortunately for them, the parable of Lazarus and the rich man is just that – a parable, and not a factual literal description of what happens when we die. It’s a Spiritual analogy, as are all of Yashua Messiah’s (the Lord Jesus Christ’s) parables.

The Rich Man and Lazarus

The Parable of Lazarus and The Rich Man

The Prophetic Parable

Luke 16:19 (KJV) There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. (All emphasis mine)

Some interesting points before I move on. This parable can only be found in Luke’s Gospel and Lazarus is named, but the rich man remains anonymous. And don’t forget that it is mostly prophetic – for the future, that is, the near future, post Yashua Messiah’s death and resurrection and the distant future at Yashua Messiah’s second coming – both events are involved in this parable.

The Explanation

So how do we know this story is a parable? Easy, the opening verse tells us straight away, because Yashua Messiah makes special reference to the colour of the rich man’s robes – PURPLE. Now this may seem, at first glance, all very trivial and insignificant, but nothing could be further from The Truth. Purple raiment is always synonymous with God, royalty, the priesthood and the counterfeit priesthood of the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion:

FakeChurch-1-380x230

Two Fake Christians With One in Purple, and Wearing a Heathen Dagon Fish Hat

Exodus 26:1 (KJV) Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.

Numbers 4:13 (KJV) And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:

John 19:5 (KJV) Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

Revelation 17:4 (KJV) And the woman (the mother of harlots) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.

In these four Scriptures we can see various connotations associated with purple cloth, but they have some things in common: God, Royalty, the Priesthood, and the counterfeit priesthood in Revelation 17. So, this rich man, dressed in fine purple linen, is symbolically a priest or a representative of the counterfeit priesthood and/or The Sanhedrin as it was known in the first century.

Now this parable is another of those parables that Yashua Messiah (the Lord Jesus Christ) frequently used in order to attack the hypocrisy of the Jewish Pharisee and Sadducee religious leaders. There they were, all dressed up for the part, but in reality they were “whited sepulchres” or “whited walls”, cold, ruthless and hollow and empty within – lacking any love or Spiritual substance. They were Spiritually dead with “throats like open graves”. Notice, too, this man lived it up everyday, well he was loaded with money and therefore a lover of filthy lucre, as were the Pharisee Jews, so why not eat, drink and be merry, eh?

Moving on, and as always, keeping it in the Spiritual dimension, we then have poor Lazarus who represents all those who are desirous and hungry, nay starving, for lack of Spiritual food, for lack of even just a few crumbs of Spiritual Truth and/or the Word of God. In the early first century that meant Moses and The Prophets, but in the prophetic future sense it is highlighting Yashua Messiah (Jesus Christ) and His glorious message taught by His Messengers, that is, The Good News of Grace, Salvation and Eternal Life in the coming Kingdom of God.

On top of this poor Lazarus’ malnourished Spiritual condition is compounded by the trials of this life – his sores. As a Spiritual babe he is even tormented and spiritually attacked by dogs or spiritual prostitutes – or those of the circumcision, as described by Paul in Galatians – legalists and Grace killers.

Philippians 3:2 (MCV) Beware of Judaising mongrel dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the circumcision.

In Strong’s Concordance the Old Testament definition for ‘dogs’ is male prostitutes – sodomites:

Dog – H3611 – keleb – keh’-leb – From an unused root meaning to yelp, or else to attack; a dog; hence (by euphemism) a male prostitute: – dog.

Have you yet noticed the picture that is developing here? no man, unless he is being drawn to The Son by The Father, can be desirous for Spiritual food, so this means Lazarus represents those The Father is calling and has chosen! Notice, too, how we also have purple garments and spiritual prostitution in association – one with the other – the the purple robed dogs of the meaningless, vain Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion.

The next thing we must understand is that Yashua Messiah (The Lord Jesus Christ), on numerous occasions said The Kingdom of God is at hand. What did He mean by that turn of phrase? Quite simply, He was referring to a time in the very near future or the time directly after His death and resurrection when Salvation would be made available to all those The Father would be calling and choosing through hearing the Messenger’s (apostles’) preaching.

Now keeping this Truth in mind we now continue with the parable, and next we have the death of Lazarus, here called a beggar, which means he is hungering and thirsting after mercy and righteousness plus justice and justification:

Matthew 5:6 (KJV) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Notice here, too, that Lazarus is desirous to be fed the Spiritual scraps, not to mention the literal scraps of food, that fell from this selfish self-indulgent purple clothed minister’s table.

OK, so now we have Lazarus crying out for The Word of God – The Good News of The Kingdom, salvation and righteousness (justice and justification). However, what happens? he dies, but what kind of death is Yashua Messiah (the Lord Jesus Christ) really referring to here, apart from a physical death?

Lazarus’ death here is symbolic of the watery grave of Baptism – the old Lazarus dies and then what happens – he is lifted up by the angels into Abraham’s bosom and his name is written in the Book of Life. This means he is lifted up a new man – born of God (born again) into Abraham’s bosom. How does that work? Who and what does Abraham represent? Easy, he represents faith and the faithful – he is the elder of the faithful and the man that the men dressed in purple fine linen thought they were descended from, and were supposed to represent, that is, the Spirit of The Law, not the letter of The Law.

Don’t forget, too, this message is being delivered by Yashua Messiah under the Old Covenant and Abraham’s Bosom is a forerunner or type of the Kingdom of God to be ruled by Yashua Messiah. Please note, Lazarus’ physical death, as with all those who are born of God (born again), has no hold over him, as his place in the Kingdom of God at Yashua Messiah’s return is assured. Make sure you understand that there is no resurrection of the dead for ANYONE until Yashua Messiah returns, and that includes Enoch and Elijah. (Future articles on this pesky subject coming soon)

1 Corinthians 15:36 (KJV) Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

Colossians 2:12 (KJV) Buried with Him in Baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the Faith (Abraham’s Bosom) of the operation of God, who hath raised Him from the dead.

Romans 6:4 (KJV) Therefore we are buried with Him by Baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by The Glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (All emphasis and brackets mine)

Now, notice, Lazarus is comforted in Abraham’s bosom and in the not too distant future, after The Lord’s death and resurrection, those called and chosen would also be comforted just like Lazarus. Comforted by whom? why, by Yashua Messiah of course. This proves that Yashua Messiah is using Abraham’s bosom here as a type for Himself in His Kingdom.

John 14:18 (KJV) I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

In part two I will explain the meanings of the tormented sufferings or ordeals of the rich man.

The Parable Of Lazarus And The Rich Man – Part 2.

The Explanation continued

Now what of the rich man? He dies and is buried and comes to a place called hell. How does this work? because we know that the dead are dead and know nothing? (Please see link below to my article “Are Christians going to heaven?”) Yet this rich man is conscious and can see Lazarus in Abraham’s bosom and Abraham, too, is alive and can see him. So what is this all about and at what point in time is all this taking place?

First of all, it’s all about mental and spiritual torment, not physical torment. Secondly, the time is just after that time when the rich man, (representative of the Jews and counterfeit religious priesthood), will have been resurrected with all those who were called and chosen. This is the time of the return of Yashua Messiah (The Lord Jesus Christ) to this earth and the First Resurrection. The rich man is like the five foolish virgins who ran out of oil. Here though, The Lord has taken the scenario one step further and placed the rich man in a metaphorical place of torment. This ‘hell’ is a point in time in the future where all the unrepentant men in purple robes will realise it’s too late, like the unwise virgins who discovered their purchased oil was useless. If we refer to the end of that parable, the unwise virgins are not allowed into the wedding feast and Yashua Messiah informs them that He does not know them even though they were given oil (Grace) in the first place. In this instance Yashua Messiah does not elaborate on their reaction to this horrendous news.

However, in this parable, we are told about the rich man’s ordeals and/or his reaction to the news that he has been excluded from the Kingdom of God – Abraham’s bosom – Salvation. He, like the unwise virgins at the beginning, was given oil – Grace or here referred to as the ‘good things’ – the Spiritual Law of Moses and the Prophets – The Gracious gifts of God to the priesthood. This rich man, like modern mainstream Christian ministers of The Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion, had all the benefits the knowledge of God can bestow upon a man. His, (the rich man) and their wickedness, has resulted in the Children of God, that is, those they were, and are, responsible for, and supposed to look after (shepherd) were/are starving through lack of Spiritual food. So here he is, as a result, in wretched mental torment for his just reward:

Matthew 8:11 (KJV) And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven (God). 12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Wretched fearful mental torment and/or emotional ordeals).

Luke 13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all The Prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. (Wretched fearful mental torment and/or emotional ordeals).

Make no mistake, this rich man represents a “child of the kingdom” as are all those who are called into the ministry, but many run out of oil – Grace, and turn to religious form and legalism as a blasphemous replacement. Turning or making The Word of God to none effect. This parable was given as a warning to them and, notice, they understood The Lord’s parables so were, without excuse.

Luke 16:14 (KJV) And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

Now in order to respond in this way, these men must have understood what Yashua Messiah was talking about. Only the Learners (disciples), after The Lord had explained to them the meaning, were privy to this understanding, that is, apart from these satanic men of religion.

Moreover, we now move on to where the rich man, in his ‘burning tormented’ condition catches sight of Abraham with Lazarus in his bosom and he cries out, but what is he crying out for? Just a drop of water from the tip of Lazarus’ finger. The thing is, if the rich man is in a real burning cauldron how is a drop of water on the end of Lazarus’ finger going to bring him any relief, how will it quench his thirst? Well, quite plainly it won’t, so what does this water represent? Again we return to the Spiritual Truth of Yashua Messiah:

Just One Drop of Water

Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life

John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

Wow!! I think this is one of the most emotional and uplifting passages of Holy Scripture in The Bible. Here we can see the amazing God given wisdom of the woman, by the well, who longed to have her thirst quenched, once and for all time, by The Lord’s metaphorical Holy Spiritual water. Indeed, we can now see the water the rich man was crying out and pleading for, in a new Light. He knew what kind of water would be on Lazarus’ finger tip and he also knew that just one single drop would be enough to rescue him from his mental anguish and torment – a well of water springing up into everlasting life and him, being comforted by Yashua Messiah (Abraham’s bosom) in The Kingdom of God.

Furthermore, we then learn that there is a gulf between the rich man and Lazarus in Abraham’s bosom, a gulf that cannot be bridged from either direction. This gulf is the same gulf that denied the five unwise virgins a share of the oil from the five wise virgin’s lamps. This is a ‘never the twain shall meet’ situation. This situation can be likened to the sheep and goats, with one; the sheep on God’s right hand and the other; the goats, on His left – the sheep inherit and the goats do not. (see link below)

This is the future point in time that the rich man has reached and he vainly requests that Abraham send Lazarus from the dead to his five brethren who, again, remind us of the five unwise virgins. It was too late for them and it’s too late for the rich man’s brethren, the Grace has gone out of their lives.

We then get the killer verse. Verse 31 And He said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Here in this verse Yashua Messiah is referring to Himself as the “one rose from the dead” and look at what He is saying. This verse not only covers the Jewish religious leaders of the first century, but brings us loud and clear into the last days which commenced on the first Pentecost AD 31. We are talking about so called men of God here, now in this age – ‘teachers’ and ‘preachers’, not the unsaved. Even though Yashua Messiah came and died to take all of mankind’s sins, was resurrected to give us new lives in Him or in ‘Abraham’s bosom’ and give us His glorious Grace, there are still those rich men who stand in their pulpits each week and ‘teach’ the same Pharisaical message against it – those men dressed in their fine purple linen – both metaphorically and/or literally!

Finally, and to end on a more positive note, we must also understand that the rich man’s punishment is only for a season – albeit a thousand year season, but eventually he will be part of the second resurrection as described in Revelation 20. The Father God does not remain angry forever, but vengeance is always His, and all the Lazarus’s of this world must be avenged.

“No one who has been martyred by the Jews should remain unknown. And no one who has been martyred by the Jews will remain unavenged.”

— Eustace Mullins

Unravelling The So-Called Pastoral Epistles – 1 Timothy 3 – Part 6

Before reading this article I recommend that you read “Unravelling The So-Called Pastoral Epistles – Parts 1-4 and 5” first, to gain a full understanding of where I am coming from on this exposé of these highly suspect epistles. (see links below)

Now chapter 3 of 1 Timothy is a dead giveaway for satanic religiosity, with it being full of Nicolaitan hierarchical nonsense, with bishops here and deacons there; all lusting after their positions of POWER and AUTHORITY – as you do NOT, if you’re a real Christian and part of the egalitarian Church of God!!

OK, so let’s get straight on with the first two verses of 1 Timothy 3:

1 Timothy 3:1-2 (KJV) This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach.

1 Timothy 3:1-2 Notes Part 1: “This is a true saying.” he says, but is it a true saying? We shall see. If a man desire the office of a bishop! So let’s have a look at what the Greek MSS says about offices and bishops:

1 Timothy 3:1 (Greek Transliteral) Believing the saying if any-one of-on-noting (supervision) is craving of-ideal work he-is-on-feeling (desiring).

Now why would a humble Christian be craving an alleged position of supervision (authority), in a supposed church? Does this phoney creature fancy his chances of being ‘king of the heap’ in this congregation, or see himself as lording it over his brothers and sisters, whom, he perhaps feels are in need of a good whipping into shape? You betcha!

Is ‘supervision’ the right word, or would ‘overseer’ be a better word? I speak here as if giving the benefit of the doubt to most of the verses of 1 Timothy 3, that is, verses 1 through 13, as being genuine Pauline verses which, in truth, I will prove are not.

So what policy or agenda were the KJV translators trying to impart here, and promote, with this word ‘office’? Well obviously it’s administrative and GOVERNMENTAL, is it not? and nothing to do with egalitarian Christian brotherly and sisterly love and fellowship at all. This is the modus operandi of the pecking order system of the Nicolaitans which is being promulgated here – plain and simple.

We then get this 100% religious BS term ‘BISHOP’, translated from the Greek word ‘episkope’, which means an ‘overseer’, that is, someone who keeps a watchful eye, as a protector and guardian, over the flocks, and who, no doubt, was selected by the elders of the congregation as someone fit for the job, not some upstart who fancied himself as a big shot in his so-called local church and desired, that is, most likely lusted after the position.

1 Timothy 3:1-2 Notes Part 2: Not only that, but this religious, 100% mythical, lustful Hellenising bishop must be blameless, eh? That’s a tough call to say the least. Where do you find a blameless counterfeit Christian who fancies himself as a bishop? Nowhere! And vanity, not repented of, must be the first blot on the list with regard to the character of this would-be so-called ‘bishop’.

And then we get, and wait for it! ‘The husband of one wife’!! Wow!! What’s going on here? This suggests to me, that in these Hellenising congregations there were a few bods with MORE THAN ONE WIFE! Was this permissible in the first century congregations of God? I have no idea, but here’s something on it:

http://www.liquisearch.com/polygamy_in_christianity/early_church_period&p=6&pos=6

Either way, I am not really interested, other than in what went on in the true Congregations of God, and I doubt very much that polygamy was something practised by them, so, yet again, bringing into doubt the provenance of these so-called Pastoral Epistles.

After the ‘only one wife’ hoo ha we get: ‘vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach’. I find this totally hilarious! What kind of so-called Christians are we dealing with here? If the laity are prone to being a load of inhospitable, yobbish boozers who lack the character quality of vigilance, what’s going on? Are we having described for us here a load of reprobates or Christians?

Then we get ‘apt to teach’. So are these bishop candidates gifted with the Spiritual gift of teaching or not? I would say that if someone who fancies himself as a bishop, is NOT gifted with the Spiritual gift of teaching, he’s next to useless for the job.

1 Corinthians 12:28 (MCV) And God hath placed some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, pilotage or guides, diversities of tongues.

Notice how the list of gifted abilities above does not include governors, administrators, bosses, leaders or tin pot dictators.

I will leave it there and move on:

1 Timothy 3:3 (KJV) Not given to wine, no striker (no quarrelsome bruiser), not greedy of filthy lucre (not a lover of money); but patient (lenient), not a brawler (peace loving), not covetous; (Brackets mine)

1 Timothy 3:3 Notes: The comedy continues…and in the same vein as verse 2 we have all these worldly characteristics being highlighted, as if we were dealing with lost and unsaved reprobates. Unrepentant sinners no less, who, if truly under Paul’s stewardship and guidance, would have been severely reprimanded or admonished and possibly threatened with expulsion from The Church. Furthermore, what would such people be doing in a Christian fellowship at all, let alone stand to be considered as a candidate for a bishop overseer!? I trust you can see the ignorant nonsense message these verses portray.

1 Timothy 3:4-5 (KJV) One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

1 Timothy 3:4-5 Notes: OK, this one could be taken as somewhat ambiguous: ‘one that RULETH well his own house’! Does this mean that the same rigid dictatorial mindset that operates in his household is then transferred to his local congregation? For it then says: ‘having his children in subjection with all gravity;’ so we have to assume that this transfer of strict ruler-ship is what the forger means by this, and then classifies it by adding in the gratuitous: (‘For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?’). ‘Taking care’ meaning ruling the roost? Still at least he got the name of The Church right.

Now don’t get me wrong, for a certain amount of no-nonsense discipline is definitely required when bringing up children properly, but, should this Victorian sounding, parent-child, disciplinary regime be transferred to the Church? Let’s be clear, sound informative Gospel teaching is all that is required when dealing with Christian adults, not a big stick pseudo-tyranny. My verdict, therefore, on these two verses is take from them what you will and for what they are worth, and use much wisdom. Always bearing in mind that the agenda being served here in these epistles is not a Christian agenda, but, rather, the Hellenising Religious agenda of the Cainite-Judeo-Christian Religion.

1 Timothy 3:6 (KJV) not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of The Devil;

1 Timothy 3:6 Notes: Now this sounds like don’t give the keys to your Ferrari and the booze cabinet to your 18 year old son, whilst you’re away for the weekend. The only thing I’ll add is this: Would the elders of genuine congregation of God be giving the position of overseer, with all the great responsibilities that that entails, to a boy or a novice new convert to the faith and to the fellowship? Not a chance!

1 Timothy 3:7 (KJV) and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of The Devil.

1 Timothy 3:7 Notes Part 1: Now get a load of this! ‘and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without’. YOU WHAT!!?? So are we to believe that Paul would have written this irrelevant worldly garbage? Are select members of God’s church now chosen based upon the so-called ‘good reports’ of worldly sinners or the lost and unsaved!? What business do the Spiritually dead and/or unregenerated have with The Church of God other than to be recipients of Christian good works? NONE! ZILCH! ZERO!

1 Timothy 3:7 Notes Part 2: ‘that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of The Devil’.

From Adam Clarke’s Commentary:

“Lest he fall into reproach, for his former scandalous life. And the snare of the devil. Snares and temptations, such as he fell in and fell by before. This is called the snare of the devil; for, as he well knows the constitution of such persons, and what is most likely to prevail, he infers that what was effectual before to their transgressing may be so still;”

Looks like repentance and forgiveness was non-existent in these illegitimate Hellenising fake churches, and in contrast, judging was a full time occupation. Let’s be clear about this, real Christians repent before they are Baptised. That means they TURN from their old ways, they give up their old lives and bury them in the watery grave of Yashua Messiah’s death/sacrifice. They then rise out of the water a new creation – a new man or new woman, not capable of sin; once gifted with The Holy Spirit. This means that if our former scandalous life is still held against us by certain people within this so-called church, then we have an untenable situation and those enforcing such a policy are judgemental, spiritual renegades and apostates, who do need dealing with.

1 John 3:6 (KJV) Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.

1 John 3:9 (KJV) Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Rest assured, the clown who penned 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus hadn’t a clue about Christian regeneration.

1 Timothy 3:8 (KJV) Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

1 Timothy 3:8 Notes: Again, as before, what kind of Christians are we dealing with here, if they’re double tongued boozers and money grabbers? It would be hilarious if not so serious. It looks like matey, the second century author of these epistles, hasn’t a clue about regenerated Christians and Christianity.

1 Timothy 3:9 (KJV) Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

1 Timothy 3:9 Notes: You what? What is he rambling on about? ‘mystery of the faith’? what mystery? how is SIMPLE faith in Yashua Messiah mysterious? is it not all very straight forward. Paul confirms it for us, doesn’t he?

2 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV) But I fear, lest by any means, as The Serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

If someone or something is simple to understand, where is the mystery? There is no mystery, but there’s plenty of mystery in the Cainite Babylonian MYSTERY Religion otherwise known as the Cainite-Judaeo-Christian Religion. (see links below)

He then, almost gratuitously, throws in ‘in a pure conscience’. Answer me this, dear readers, what kind of conscience does a regenerated Christian have, if it’s not pure? Does this author creature have any understanding at all? Is a Christian completely forgiven or not – is he or she beyond reproach or not, that is, beyond condemnation?

1 John 3:3 (KJV) And every man that hath his hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.

Romans 8:1 (MCV) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 3:10-13 (KJV) And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 3:10-13 Notes Part 1: Much of this is just a repeat of the nonsense that applied to their so-called bishops, however, there are one or two other issues within these verses: “Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things”. I will highlight once more, what kind of Christians are we dealing with here? Are they regenerated or not? Are they being led by the Spirit or not? All I see in these verses are the characteristics of the heathen, not born of God Christians.

1 Timothy 3:10-13 Notes Part 2: “For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.”

From Adam Clarke’s Commentary:

Verse 13. ‘That have used the office of a deacon well’ They who, having been tried or proved, 1Ti 3:10, have shown by their steadiness, activity, and zeal, that they might be raised to a higher office, are here said to have purchased to themselves a good degree.

Here we can graphically see explained for us by Adam Clarke the pecking order system of the Nicolaitans, that this forger is promoting. “If you do well then the sky is the limit and one day you could be a pope” This is the spirit that’s at work here – advancement as if an employee in a large corporation, which is exactly what the Cainite-Judaeo-Christian Religion is.

1 Timothy 3:14-16 (KJV) These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

1 Timothy 3:14-16 Notes – Part 1: Now the above last verses of 1 Timothy 3 are 50/50 in terms of Truth and religious hogwash. Verse 14 is irrelevant to the subject matter at hand, as the forger is quite obviously attempting to pass himself off as Paul. However, this statement is true, if the message is figurative: “how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the Truth.” If it’s not figurative, and the forger is referring to a literal CHURCH BUILDING, made with man’s hands, then he gives himself away in no uncertain terms. In fact it could carry a dual meaning, as we know how their grandiose church buildings and cathedrals would feature in the future, and then be referred to a house of God.

1 Timothy 3:14-16 Notes – Part 2: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness.” Once more we have this religious bunkum word ‘godliness’ which I previously unravelled in my earlier writings on 1 Timothy 2. (see link below).

1 Timothy 3:14-16 Notes – Part 3: Finally we get this: “God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

“God was manifest in the flesh” I have no problem with that, but “justified in The Spirit” I am not so sure about. Did the only begotten Son of God need to be justified? And “believed on in the world”. Is this speaking generally or referring to a select few that He met on His travels? Not very clear is it?

Now also notice, how there is no mention of who Yashua Messiah really came for, so let me refresh your memories:

Matthew 15:24 (KJV) But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto The Lost Sheep of The House of Israel.

He also gave The Twelve disciples Learners explicit instructions:

Matthew 10:5-6 (KJV) These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to The Lost Sheep of The House of Israel.

Please take note: I am not referring to the Serpent Seed Canaanite Jews when mentioning The Twelve Tribes of Israel.

To summarise, these last verses are probably the best verses in the whole chapter, but still leave a lot to be desired and certainly don’t let the Hellenising religious forger off the hook. 1 Timothy 4 coming up.
