Simple Salvation Church of God

Love, and obey the Lord
for rewards in heaven and earth  

There is some criticism of writings, that skip around citing Bible scriptures to prove a point. Most pastors use this style of preaching. “Whom will He teach knowledge? for precept must be upon precept: line upon line, here a little, there a little.” ( Isaiah 28: 9,10)

Since the appearance of the Messiah 2000 years ago: there have been changes and additions to the scriptures, and doctrines, made by man. The Greeks, and later translators of the King James Bible, took license with their work.

They changed the Hebrew names of Yahweh to god, which is a pagan Anglo Saxon name. It’s also used for satan, as god of this world. (2 Corinthians 4:4) Most demonic deities are referred to, by that name. The name Christ is Greek for Messiah or Mashiach.

The name Jesus is a Greek and Latin combination, and has changed over time. In the 1611 Bible edition, Jesus is translated as Iesus, and in earlier writings, as Isous. The Bible translators fabricated the name Jesus, and put it in place of Yeshua. “There is No other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

The Old Testament was in Hebrew, in the New Testament, Paul spoke to the populous in Hebrew.
 (Acts 21:40) The Messiah spoke to Paul in Hebrew, when he was traveling to Damascus. (Acts 26:14)

Some of the Hebrew names are: Elohiym, (Creator) Adonai, (Lord, Master) El Shaddai, (All Mighty) Yahweh, (Eternal) Yeshua, (Savior) Mashiach, (Anointed) and Hayah ( I Am) The proper names, shows reverence to our Creator. “For His Greatness, that is unsearchable “ (Psalm 145:1-3) (Psalm 113:1-3)

This is not important to some people to call Yahweh, or Yeshua, by a pagan, Greek, or fabricated name, which is in error. None of them are: Holy, Glorified, Wonderful, Blessed, Exalted, or Excellent, as His names. “The Lord will sanctify His Great Name, which has been profaned among the nations.” (Ezek.36:23) Those that love Him, will keep His name Sacred.

In the fourth century A.D, the Christian church took a left turn. King Constantine changed the seventh day Shabbat worship to the first day of the week. This was done with the auspices of the Roman Catholic church.

The pagans, that they were converting, had worshiped the sun god on that day, and was known as sun day. Today’s church reasoning, for changing to Sunday worship is: “The Apostles came together on that first day of the week to brake bread, and Paul preached to them.” (Acts 20:7) There is no authority to change the day, not even the Pope’s.

As far as we know, the scriptures show that Paul preached on Sunday only once. He preached many times on the seventh day Sabbath. In Acts, he preached on the Sabbath 86 times, as recorded in the Bible. (See Bottom line 4)

Theologians say, “We keep Sunday because, Yeshua rose on that day.” ( No authority) In Daniel’s prophesy, “ When The Messiah shall be cut off, in the middle of the week the sacrifices shall end.” (Daniel 9:26,27)

Mid Wednesday afternoon: to Saturday afternoon, is exactly three days, and three nights, just as Yeshua Messiah predicted. ( Matthew 12:40) The Jews wanted the Messiah taken off the cross that afternoon, after He died. It was the preparation day for the High Sabbath.

The first day of Passover is a High Sabbath, (John 19:31) and no work is to be done. There were two Sabbaths in that week: Thursday, Saturday, and a preparation day, for each one. The Apostles, and the women, didn’t visit the tomb again, until Sunday morning. It was still dark when they arrived, and no one witnessed Yeshua Messiah’s resurrection. (John 20:1)

That morning: two people were walking, when Yeshua came upon them and asked, what they were talking about? One said: “Are you a stranger? Yeshua was crucified, and this is the third day this was done.” (Luke 24:17-21) Remember, a day, is still a day, and a night, 24 hours.

The following explanation ties it all together. “When Yeshua was risen, early the first day of the week, He appeared to Mary.” (Mark 16:9) Punctuations were not added to the Bible until the 9^th century A.D. In the 1611 Bible edition, the comma was put after the word (early).

In the modern day Bible, it was put after the word (week). Apparently those translators weren’t inspired of Yahweh. When the comma is put after the word (risen). This proves that all the factual evidence shows. Yeshua Messiah had already risen just before sun down on that seventh day of the week. In Bible and Jewish tradition, sun down, to sun down, is a day.

Would the Messiah be resurrected in the dark, when the Bible compares it to evil.? (John 3:19,20) Would the Messiah be resurrected, on a day that pagans were worshiping the sun god, on pagan Easter? Or would the Messiah be resurrected, on a day that was Blessed, Sanctified, Hallowed, and written in stone by, our Creator Yahweh? Not a difficult choice.

Many churches teach, that the 10 Commandments are done away with. “We are not under the law, but under grace. “What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Yahweh forbid.”(Romans 6:14,15) Sin is, breaking the law. (1 John 3:4)

The answers to those questions are in Galatians. “ Those that are under the law, and don’t do them are cursed.”(Galatians 3:10)“The law is not of faith, those that do them, shall live by them.(Gal 3:12) How do we have faith, and live by the Commandments, to be cursed, if we break them?

Yeshua has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us.”(Gal 3:13) We can have faith, and live by the Commandments, and not under the curse. Yeshua doesn’t curse us, but He chastens us, for our sins in this life. (Hebrews 12:5-11)

Since we are redeemed from the curse of the law, should we obey Yahweh to live by them, including the Sabbath? Yeshua Messiah said: “If you love me, you will keep My Commandments” (John 14:15)
These are Messiah’s and Yahweh’s commandments.

“Love Yahweh: with all your heart, sole, mind, and your neighbor, as yourself.”(Mt 22:37-40) (Deuteronomy 6:5) (Leviticus 19:18) The first four commandments are to love Yahweh, and the next six are to love your neighbor.

To simplify the next three scriptures, for people not used to Hebrew names, the Greek and pagan names are used. “Here is the patience of the Saints: that keep the Commandments of Theos, (God) and the faith, of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)

“The conclusion of the matter is: fear Yahweh (God) and keep His Commandments, for this is the whole duty of mankind.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13) “For this is the love of Theos: (God) that we keep His Commandments, and His Commandments are not grievous.” (1 John 5:2,3)

The Commandments are grievous, for people who won’t live by them. “ If we break one point of the law, we have broken them all.” (James 2:10) That is the excuse they use for not keeping them. No place in the Bible does it say; “Give up, don’t even try to keep, or live by them.

The big problem for most, is that Sabbath. “Why should I give up: Friday night TV, or the movies, Saturday swap meet, shopping, or the beach after.? I have work, and things to do on Saturdays. I would have to change my whole life style. Just because the Creator of the universe: inspired words to be written down, in a book thousands of years ago, called the Bible. “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, (deceiving yourselves).” (James 1:22)

The Commandments were given, in one of the greatest spectacles in all of the Bible.Yahweh descended upon Mt. Sinai in fire, and smoke like a furnace, as the mountain burned. The whole mountain quaked greatly. Yahweh spoke out of the fire, showing His Glory and Greatness. With thundering, lightnings, and exceedingly loud trumpets, so that the people trembled. Then the ten Commandments were written in stone by the finger of Yahweh.

No scripture can even come close, to resending that awesome, and profound declaration.That is not to be confused, with the law of ordinances, given by Moses to Israel, that were symbolically nailed to the cross. (Colossians 2:20-22) ( Heb 9:9-15) There are over 600 laws.

The Sabbath is the fourth commandment, the last book of the Bible still says to keep the Commandments.(Rev 12:17,14:12, 22:14) Yeshua and the apostles kept them. There are no scriptures in the Bible, that changes the seventh day Sabbath for another, or eliminates it.

They say: “The days of the week have been changed over the centuries.” Not so, only the dates have been changed. An example is: our leap year, we change only the date, and not the days of the week. “The Jews have kept the oracles and the Sabbath.” (Romans 3:2)

Some say: “We can keep any day we want, for the Sabbath.” Yahweh was very emphatic on which day, and how the Sabbath is to be kept. Yahweh said, “Remember The seventh day,” not A seventh day.“ There remains a rest for the people of Yahweh: for he who has entered His rest, has also ceased from his works, as Yahweh did from His.” (Hebrews 4:9-11)

The fallowing can’t be emphasized enough.Yahweh said three times in the Old Testament, and Yeshua said three times in the New Testament. “ If you love Me, you will keep the Commandments.”  (Exodus 20:6) (Deuteronomy 5:10) (Nehemiah 1:5) ( John 14:15) (1 John 5:2,3)

Some won’t accept all Bible teaching, you have to make a decision, love, or not to love, choose. Even though it’s not unto salvation, it shows your love, and thanks giving, for the one who created you. The heavenly rewards you receive, if you love and obey, are up to you.

The church teaches that hell and the Lake of Fire are the same. Hell is a Teutonic word, meaning to cover up: Gahena, Sheol, Tartaroo, and Hades, are translated, as hell in the Bible. The meanings given in Strong’s Concordance are: pit, grave, place of the dead, and fire, is not mentioned. Gahena is linked to hell fire, which was a trash dump outside of Jerusalem. It was kept burning continuously, to take the cities garbage, dead bodies, and waste. This was the place where Israel, in earlier times, sacrificed their children by fire: it was known as the Valley of Hinnom. (2 Chronicles 33:6)

A synopsis of Revelation and the Lake of Fire. Plagues are forced upon the end times People: of those living on the earth during the tribulation in the last days. The beast: false prophet, death, and hell, will be cast into the Lake of Fire. (Rev 20:10-14) The fearful: murderers, liars, ect, and those that take the mark of the beast, and are not written in the book of life. These humans will be taken over by satan, until they are released from their body of death. (2 Timothy 2:26) Their spirit will not be cast into the Lake of Fire: only that spirit of evil, wickedness, and sin, dwelling, within them are cast there. (Romans 7:20-24)

Their spirit will return to Yahweh who gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12:7) An analogy, is the man with 2000 demons that Yeshua cast into a heard of swine, his spirit wasn’t evil. (Mark 5:15) For the most part, Christians don’t think their sin’s are that bad, they judge the severity of other peoples sins. They think that the worst sinners should be cast into the lake of fire, because they deserve it. “Judge not, lest YOU be judged, with the same measure YOU USE.”

Christians don’t understand the complexity of sin. Just thinking about breaking one of the 10 Commandments, the penalty is hell fire. (Matthew 5:28,29) Whether it’s Hitler, that caused the deaths of 6 million Jews, or you calling someone a fool, you would both end up in hell fire. (Matthew 5:22) These are fictitious parables, and this won’t happen. People keep forgetting, Yeshua Messiah died, for all sins, for everyone, small, and great. (1 John 2:2)

The Apostle Paul said, “ What I don’t want to do bad, that I do, but, it‘s not me, it’s the evil, wickedness, and sin, that dwells within me.Who will deliver me from this body of death? (Rom 7:15-25) Paul said it right there, the only way to free us of the sin within us, is to die. All mankind’s sins are paid for by, our Savior, and not taken to the resurrection with us. “As far as the east, is from the west, so far has He removed our sins from us.”(Psm 103:10-12)

The resurrection is for all people, that ever lived, from Adam on, even those that never had a chance to confess. And remember, rejection of Yeshua is a sin, that He died for. Then comes the judgment. “We shall all stand before the judgment seat of Yeshua.” “As I live saith Yeshua: every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue, shall confess to Yahweh.” (Romans 14:10-12) Preachers say: “ THEY WON’T WANT TO, and after they confess, then, they shall be cast into the Lake of Fire.” If you read the Bible from Geneses to Revelation, you will never see one scripture that says that.

One of the main themes of the church is, you need to choose to be saved in this life. That’s by believing and accepting Yeshua. The main problem is, when were all people able to choose? Yeshua was born 2000 years ago, and The Bible says:“ There is no other name, whereby we must be saved.” It doesn’t take much intelligence, to understand that all of the people living, from Adam till Yeshua, never got a choice. Some may, as Christians do, quote some vague scripture or their own idea. They try to explain how all mankind, individually, had a choice, even those in this age.

Bowing their knees before Yeshua Messiah at the judgment. That’s for all, who never had a choice, till the resurrection. And those who did, but were under satan’s influence. All will be sin free, and not influenced by satan. THEN they will have their choice. “And it shall come to pass, that whoever calls on the name of Yeshua shall be saved.”(Acts 2:21) (Romans 10:13)

Many people are incensed, that all mankind will be saved, they say “it isn’t fair.” See if you think this example is fair. There are people that have committed heinous, unspeakable, crimes. It would make you sick to hear about them. Preachers say, “If they recite the sinners prayer, they will go to heaven.” But then they say: “It’s too late to confess and accept Yeshua for salvation, at the judgment.” Even for the common people? Now that isn’t fair. (Yeshua IS)

People in the Bible parable, worked 12 hours in the hot sun. They received the same wages, as the people that worked 1 hour, and were incensed. The land owner said:“ Is it not lawful to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye because I am good?” (Saith the Lord)

This is the parable of the prodigal son, when he came home. His brother was incensed, because his father killed the fatted calf, and gave his brother a party. The good son said, “I have been good, you have never done this for me, only for that son of yours.” His father said, “He was dead and now he’s alive, and besides, all that I have is yours. (Matthew 20:1-15), (Lk15:11-32) You should understand, that the prodigal son was still in the family, but lost his inheritance, and any position.

The Bible tells of Christians inheriting the earth. They will be part of the government when Yeshua comes back, with rewards, and positions, for those who love Him.They will reign with Yeshua Messiah, over the multiple billions of people.They eventually, will bow, and confess, at the judgment toYeshua. (Rev. 5:10) They are the nations, and like the prodigal son, they will be in the family. They will have no inheritance, or positions. But, they will also benefit from the love of Yehovah. HE IS FAIR, FORGIVING, AND HE IS LOVE. (1 John 4:8-10)

There are doctrines that churches teach, which differ from the Bible. After 2000 years and with the devil’s hand in it, there is bound to be changes. It wouldn’t be so prevalent, if people were reading and studying the Bible. The following, are examples of some, church doctrine.

The Catholic church teaches, that the virgin Mary’s mother was also a virgin. That Mary is the mediator between Yahweh and mankind. She was Co-Redeemer with Yeshua Messiah at the cross. They have graven images they bow down to, and the Pope believes in evolution. How could they be wrong?

The Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t believe, that Yeshua Messiah is Co-Creator with Yahweh. How could they be wrong? The Morman church believes, that Yeshua Messiah is satan’s brother. The Father in heaven is flesh and blood like us, and there are gods on other planets. How could they be wrong?

Some denominations teach, if you don’t speak in tongues, you don’t have the Holy Spirit. How could they be wrong? Most protestant churches believe. If you aren‘t saved before you die, there’s no chance after that, even after bowing the knee, and confessing to Yeshua, at the judgment. They will be cast into the Lake of Fire and be tormented forever, mostly because of their ignorance. How could they be wrong?

There are charismatic persons, that have organized large groups of people. They have their prophesies, visions, and they claim, direct words from Yahweh. How could they be wrong? Many people are born into a religion, and never know their doctrines. If mom and dad believe, it must be true. How could They be wrong?

Most churches celebrate the pagan holidays, instituted by the Roman church. Some break the second Commandment, by displaying so called likenesses of Yeshua, or Mary. Some pastors break the third Commandment, by calling themselves reverend, which is Yahweh’s name. (Psm 111:9) How could they be wrong?

There are several churches that believe, you must be a member of their church, or you will burn in hell for ever. How could they be wrong? Of the thousands of Christian denominations and doctrines. The real question is, How could they all be right?

Basically, its all about control, what ever denomination your in, you have to play by their rules, or your out. In their interpretations of the Bible, they use vague and grey area scriptures. They embellish them and put a spin on anything that fits their theology.

The churches have ignored some of the most important doctrines in Christianity. Ask yourself, who should I believe, and obey. The Apostle Paul said, “ We ought to obey Yahweh rather than men.” ( Acts 5:29) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)

There are people that don’t believe things in this document. Even if they believe it’s true, they don’t think it’s that important. They are comfortable with their own ideas. They have a saying, that is their problem, (I Think). It is not what they think or, not think. The Bible is given to us as, the words of our Creator.You don’t decide what you think, is important or not.

The conclusion is: the modern Christian church of today is a parallel religion. They keep a different Sabbath. They don‘t refer toYahweh, and Yeshua by Their Holy names. They keep the pagan holidays instituted by the Roman Catholic church. They preach the wrong salvation, that’s for a few select people. And they don’t preach the ten Commandments. Yeshua said “In vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men” (Matthew 15:9)

“Study to show yourself approved unto Yahweh, a workman that doesn’t need to be ashamed, rightly dividing, the words of truth.” (2 Tim. 2:15) “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32) If you are not obeying the truth, are you willing to stand before Yeshua Messiah at the judgment, and sing, I did it my way? (Sinatra’s song)

Leaving you with four, of over 100 scriptures from Bottom Line documents, that proves Universal Salvation .“ Trust in Yeshua who is the saviour of all mankind, specially of those that believe. (1Timothy 4:10) Specially, does not mean only.

The next scripture will give the knowledge to believe. “Our Savior.Yeshua Messiah, will have all mankind to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:3,4) The next scripture, is the knowledge of the Truth.

“If you confess to Yeshua, and believe Yahweh raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9,10) “Through the Greatness of Yahweh’s power, His enemies shall submit themselves to Him, and all the earth shall worship Him. (Psalm.66:3,4)
