Dear Editor,
Thanks for printing my letters. All Christians know that scripture can be taken out of context and the Hebrew came first. Between 200 and 300 B.C. the Greeks changed the Hebrew to Greek, then came the Latin after 300 A.D.
The Greek scriptures use a lot of symbols instead of plain words. For instance, the Messiah is the lamb, but he was really a man. Human beings become sheep, messengers become angels, etc. The donkey spoke the word to Baalim and the Messiah is the Word.
In Isaiah 1-3, Deuteronomy 25-4 and 1 Corinthians 9-9, the Ox is not to be muzzled that grinds out the corn or grain in some versions. No animal or man can eat if they have a muzzle on; also Ox grind with their teeth and are used for pulling.
The Hebrew woman would grind out the grain between two rocks as the Indians did. The grain is used to make the bread, the Messiah is the bread of life.
We do not muzzle anyone who preaches the scriptures and interprets correctly.
In Luke 13, verse 14, 15 and 16, the pagan Hebrew rulers told the crowd that there are six days that men ought to work and that the Messiah should not heal on the seventh day Sabbath. The Messiah told them that they let their Ox or Donkey out of the crib (home) to go to water (Messiah is the living water).
In the last verse (16), the woman bound by Satan is free. Later the Messiah was bound (wrapped) in the tomb but came out not muzzled by death to speak again. The Roman Catholic Universal Christian Church bound (chained) the word to the pulpit, killed and tortured millions of people, all the way to the 1800 A.D.
Call me anything but a Christian. Saint Nick, the Devil is a Christian (reference the W.B.E.). Rev. 2-6 Nicololations I hate, AND Nickodemus means victorious over the people in GREEK.

Sorry about that,I FORGOT,you don't research anything but the Bublos,I mean book.
The quote is from someone you should know.
"Don't call the Messiah one who does not tell the truth,he said he would be in the grave three days ,The 'WORD'said this ,can he lie???
Those in the pulpit say he can,what about you my friends?????// "

It has long been known that those who cannot support their presupposition with facts will soon begin to malign the character of their debate opponent. We see it again here with the statement "Those in the pulpit say He can (lie)."
No biblically based and orthodox preacher of the glorious Gospel of Christ would ever suggest that the LORD Jesus Christ has or would or can or may in the future lie.
On the contrary, false teachers have a long history of claiming "special knowledge and insight" which no other group has discovered. In this case we have men with no formal training in the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic language telling us that they are the only ones who know the true meaning of the text. This would be somewhat humorous if the subject matter was not so important.
Personally, let me encourage you to look to the Word of God as the basis for your faith and authority. The opinions and conjectures of men are truly worthless.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." Romans 1:16-17
"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth
Romans 10:1-4 (KJV)
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 1 Tim 1:5-11

Consider the truths found in 1 Corinthians 10:32 "Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God." Here we have three groups identified. The Jews, who represent Israel. The Gentiles, which includes everyone else that is not Jewish. Third, the church of God. Made up of all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and thus become part of His church.
The Lord Jesus stated in Matthew 16:18 "I will build my church...." Those that do not understand the difference between God's plan and purposes for the church and those for His people Israel, will be both confused and very confusing in all they attempt to teach and or explain.
Believers in Christ Jesus do not become Jewish when they ask Him to be their Savior and quoting some Hebrew words out of a Hebrew dictionary does not make anyone a child of God or a Hebrew scholar. Salvation is the free gift of God granted solely on the basis of the sinners faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Consider the words of the Apostle Paul. "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.
2 Corinthians 11:3
Consider the words of the Apostle Peter.
Later, when Peter came to Antioch, I had a face-to-face confrontation with him because he was clearly out of line. Here's the situation. Earlier, before certain persons had come from James, Peter regularly ate with the non-Jews. But when that conservative group came from Jerusalem, he cautiously pulled back and put as much distance as he could manage between himself and his non-Jewish friends. That's how fearful he was of the conservative Jewish clique that's been pushing the old system of circumcision. Unfortunately, the rest of the Jews in the Antioch church joined in that hypocrisy so that even Barnabas was swept along in the charade.
But when I saw that they were not maintaining a steady, straight course according to the Message, I spoke up to Peter in front of them all: "If you, a Jew, live like a non-Jew when you're not being observed by the watchdogs from Jerusalem, what right do you have to require non-Jews to conform to Jewish customs just to make a favorable impression on your old Jerusalem cronies?" We Jews know that we have no advantage of birth over "non-Jewish sinners." We know very well that we are not set right with God by rule-keeping but only through personal faith in Jesus Christ. How do we know? We tried it—and we had the best system of rules the world has ever seen! Convinced that no human being can please God by self-improvement, we believed in Jesus as the Messiah so that we might be set right before God by trusting in the Messiah, not by trying to be good. Have some of you noticed that we are not yet perfect? (No great surprise, right?) And are you ready to make the accusation that since people like me, who go through Christ in order to get things right with God, aren't perfectly virtuous, Christ must therefore be an accessory to sin? The accusation is frivolous. If I was "trying to be good," I would be rebuilding the same old barn that I tore down. I would be acting as a charlatan. What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man. Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that. Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God's grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily. Gal 2:11-21 (MSG)
Sincerely, Brett Jones
Remember the words of the Apostle Paul to Timothy and through him to all of us to "continue in the things we have learned and been assured of knowing the character of those that have taught us. If the Word of God was good enough for Peter, Paul, James and John and the rest of the Apostles and believers in the first century, it surely is good enough for you and me.
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:10-17 (KJV)
