When found the necessary books to read and how to read them

The Bible is not only the best sold book in the world, it is also the book which gives the best advice, but that is something man does not like to accept from Some One or Some Thing he cannot see or touch, though if man would be willing enough to hear and feel, he could feel the presence of the Most High and feel His Guidance.

Until today lots of people have been rebellious against God and it is that rebellion which made it so difficult for mankind. When more people would follow the teachings of the Holy Scriptures we would have a much better world.

When a person has found what is important in his or her life he or she has come to see what books are the most important to read. Once this is known he or she has to come to find the right way how to read those books and how best to understand what is written in them.

The Bestseller all times, the Book of books or as it is known by many under the title “the Bible” should be recognised as the best guide in life for getting the best life. People also should know that that guidebook “the Bible” is not only restricted to what we call the Kethuvim Bet or ‘second writings’, the Messianic Scriptures, which is generally known under the name “the New Testament“. The Pre-Messianic Scriptures or Old Testament is a big part which is of utmost importance to come to understand the Word of God.

The book that tells about The Elohim, the Most Almighty Divine Creator and Most High Ruler of the universe is that Super Being or Spirit so many are looking for, can give mankind ideas why and how everything went wrong and why we are still in such a mess.

Those books all should read tell us how mankind evolved and how people who have seen sufficient evidence still suppressed the truth about the Most High Divine Elohim Hashem Jehovah.

Looking in those books you shall come to see and understand that the Divine Maker of all things was and is not pleased with man who keeps doubting God His right to be the Most High Governor. Therefore  God’s extreme anger is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who restrain the truth [from being known and obeyed] by their wickedness. Look around you and you will find many people who shall try to convince you that god is quatch, that there is no such thing as a divine Creator. They and we should know that for what is known about God is plain to these people [i.e., to the Goyim or Gentiles], because God has also made it clear to them. Namely in each person, being created in the image of God, there is an intern feeling, an instinct, which whispers that they are an element of the creation by the Creator. For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities of eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, and even up to today nobody can ignore those things seen in the surroundings. Nature can be perceived through the things that the Most High has made. So, these people have no excuse [i.e., for not believing in the divine Creator the Elohim Hashem Jehovah].

Big problem of our world is that man loves his own words and prefers to listen to philosophies of men instead of listening to the Words written in the Bible. Not prepared to take those words serious but holding fast to the words of  so called theologians and commentators to the Bible, many are blinded by them and their churches. Listening to all those philosophical talks they are often engaged in their useless speculations and their foolish minds get filled with spiritual darkness because they enjoy so much those discussion on matters man wants to give his own twist, instead of taking those words written in the Bible just for what they say black on white.

I too can see, what I hope you shall see too, that there are many organisations, institutions, who claim to be wise and to be the only ones who can have you come to understand the Bible. They forget that is all in the Power of God. It is He Who gives the light and insight in His Ow Words. He does not need extra people to explain His Words. On their own God His words can tell everything. People perhaps can help others to come to read God His Word and can perhaps help to guide them to get through those Words. Then they can only hope they may be a helping hand in the Name of God, a workforce for the Most High Powerful Power and Giver of Light.

In this world we can see how many peoples have made themselves gods. We can see that there are people who call themselves ‘Christian‘, what should mean ‘being a follower of Christ‘, who ignore many teachings of that Christ and came to make their Jesus into their god, becoming fools according to the apostles, exchanging the honour belonging to the immortal God for the statues of a mortal god (when they believe Jesus died), mortal men, and birds, and animals and reptiles. Everywhere in the world we look for the way how people worship their gods we can see that like in the Catholic Church and other religious groups they have made pictures of their god to which they bow down and bring offers.

A lover of God must know that God has allowed this to happen. But He abandoned them to have the impure desires of their hearts, and to practice degrading behaviour with their bodies among themselves. For they exchanged the Elohim’s truth for the devil’s lie, i.e. for the sayings of the slayers or avengers of God.

Those books man should read from the Library of God shows man how and Who man has to worship and serve. Those books also show how man came to worship those things God Himself made. In those Holy books you shall be able to find why God allowed [or, abandoned] them to [practice] degrading passions and / or even allowed them to leave natural functions for what they were supposed to be and for what man and woman were originally made.

You shall come to see that the Guidebook, the Bible, shall show you why there are so many things in the world which may disgust you or may let you wonder if that is normal. You shall come to see how man went wrong in his desires but also how you can keep yourself on the right track.
You too shall be able to find ways to have the right desires for each other for not doing indecent sexual acts or having indecent behaviour against others. In those books you shall be able to find ways to avoid trouble or not getting a penalty because you shall have learned from them not to contribute to perversion or wrong acts.

By reading the Scriptures you shall be able to avoid degrading your mind and to practice those things which you as a decent person should do, avoiding all kinds of wickedness, evil, greed, and maliciousness. You shall come to see that when you read those books any form of envy, strife, deceit and malice shall go away form you, if you are willing to follow the good advice given in those Holy Books. The words in those books are no gossip, no slanderer, but are actual facts which we should take at heart. They show us not to be hateful toward God, not to be arrogant, proud and boastful, but to come respectful to all creatures of God, even to those who do not want to know about God.

I wonder if those who do not want to know about God and about the sent one from Him would be aware what they are missing. Probably not. They do not mind to do not kosher things as long as it can serve them. They are so much busy with their own good in the here and now. They do not mind not keep their promises or to show natural affection. Often we can see that they also are merciless.

We should know that these people know that God’s decrees require that those who practice such things deserve to die [i.e., either spiritual or temporal punishment], yet they not only do the same things [themselves], but even approve of other people who practice them.

Romans 1:18-32 The Scriptures 1998+  (18)  For the wrath of Elohim is revealed from heaven against all wickedness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,  (19)  because that which is known of Elohim is manifest among them, for Elohim has manifested it to them.  (20)  For since the creation of the world His invisible qualities have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, both His everlasting power and Mightiness, for them to be without excuse,  (21)  because, although they knew Elohim, they did not esteem Him as Elohim, nor gave thanks, but became vain in their reasonings, and their undiscerning heart was darkened.  (22)  Claiming to be wise, they became fools,  (23)  and changed the esteem of the incorruptible Elohim into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds and of four-footed beasts and of reptiles.  (24)  Therefore Elohim gave them up to uncleanness in the lust of their hearts, to disrespect their bodies among themselves,  (25)  who changed the truth of Elohim into the falsehood, and worshipped and served what was created rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.  (26)  Because of this Elohim gave them over to degrading passions. For even their women exchanged natural relations for what is against nature,  (27)  and likewise, the men also, having left natural relations with woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing indecency, and receiving back the reward which was due for their straying.  (28)  And even as they did not think it worth- while to possess the knowledge of Elohim, Elohim gave them over to a worthless mind, to do what is improper,  (29)  having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoring, wickedness, greed, evil; filled with envy, murder, fighting, deceit, evil habits; whisperers,  (30)  slanderers, haters of Elohim, insolent, proud, boasters, devisers of evils, disobedient to parents,  (31)  without discernment, covenant breakers, unloving, unforgiving, ruthless;  (32)  who, though they know the righteousness of Elohim, that those who practise such deserve death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practise them.

People should believe more in themselves in in their Creator. When they would believe more in the Power of God they would know that it is He Who shall give them the necessary knowledge and the necessary guidance.
They also should know that God has given somebody to bring them to God. That man is Jesus, the sent one from God, son of man and son of God. He is the truth, the salvation and the glory of God in which man should come to believe that he (Jesus) is the Way to God and not God himself like so many churches preach, contrary to the Word of God.

When listening to Jeshua (Jesus) his words, presented in the Messianic writings, people shall have no excuse any more not to come to understand Who God is and what He has done and should also know how they have to behave in this world.

Are you willing to belong to the good people to whom Jehovah, the Only One true God of Israel, has given the Holy Land, because the others are so wicked?

Deuteronomy 9:4-6 The Scriptures 1998+  (4)  “Do not think in your heart, after יהוה {Jehovah} your Elohim has driven them out before you, saying, ‘Because of my righteousness יהוה {Jehovah} has brought me in to possess this land.’ But it is because of the wrong of these nations that יהוה {Jehovah} is driving them out from before you.  (5)  “It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you go in to possess their land, but because of the wrong of these nations that יהוה {Jehovah} your Elohim drives them out from before you, in order to establish the word which יהוה {Jehovah} swore to your fathers, to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ.   (6)  “And you shall know that יהוה {Jehovah} your Elohim is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.

Let us not be stiff-necked (or having an iron sinew) not forgetting how God’s People had provoked the Adonai to anger from the beginning of their wilderness journey. They were liberated but forgot very quickly. Now the 2nd Adam brought also a liberation, though many have soon forgotten who it was in whose Name. Again those people who were liberated from death made them graven images. (This time no golden calf but golden crosses and other images of their god Jesus.) Until today lots of people have been rebellious against God. In this world of rebellion we can show to God we do not want to be the rebels but prefer to follow His Word and not that of man. to do that it is best to take up the Bible and to start studying thoroughly, so that you really come to know what God wants from you and me and from all the world.
