God's Son Is Ready
for the Harvest

The world is a shambles and getting worse every day.
People all over the world are asking:

Why were our homes destroyed by earthquakes,
fires and flooding?

Why is there so much violence and warfare?
Why is the economy so bad?
Why is my job gone?
What will happen next?

Why is the world a shambles?

Mankind was allowed to run amuck in this world
for many thousands of years. Just look at what
we have accomplished!

What does the world have?

Poverty and famines.
Widespread hatred.
Oppression, wars, pollution, disease, squalor, unrest and despair.

Not only that, but the problems are growing!

Not once have the governmental leaders of this world,
in their wisdom, ever solved any of these problems in
any country.

They never have and never will. Because of widespread
corruption and incompetence, the world’s leaders solely
look out for their own interests and disregard the problems
of the people they supposedly serve.

Who can save the world from certain disaster?

"...for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of oppressors,
and he will send them a saviour, and a defender, and he
will deliver them."
(Isaiah 19:20) (ASV)

"...At the time that God has already decided,
he will send Christ back again."
(1Timothy 6:15) (CEV)

That is wonderful news! Jehovah and His son
are about to do something about the havoc
and chaos in the world soon.

But what must occur first?

A small thing – and yet – a large accomplishment!

Before God’s son takes over, all of his true followers
must stop calling him "Jesus".

Why?

"The Hebrews called their coming Savior, the Messiah,
Jahshuawah (Jehoshua). The disciples of the Savior
accepted Him as such, and to them He was known as
Jahshuwah the Messiah. The Greeks, however, rejected
the Hebrew name, and called Him (IESOUS-Jesus) instead."
- The Origin of Christianity
by A.B. Traina

"It is interesting to note - that throughout his life - the
one now known as Jesus Christ never did hear himself
called by that name."
- "Man’s Great Adventure,"
by Edwin W. Pharlow, professor of history,
Ohio State University.

"It is known that the Greek name endings with sus,
seus and sous were attached by the Greeks to names
and geographical areas as means to give honour to
their supreme deity, Zeus."
-Dictionary of Christian Lore and Legend
Professor J. C. J. Metford

That is why. God’s son is not Jesus! Just as the Bible
translators substituted "GOD" and "LORD" for God’s
actual name, Jehovah, they also painstakingly traded
"Jesus" for "Jehoshua" in place of Christ’s true name.

Has it always been that way?

"In the 1611 KJ New Testatment the name Yahshua
(Yehoshua) appeared originally wherever the Messiah
was spoken of. Yehoshua means Yehovah's (Jehovah's)
Salvation. Later the Messiah's name was replaced with
Iesus (Greek) which later in the 1600's it became Jesus
starting with the new English letter 'J' which was
introduced at that time. Further, the Greek 'Iesus'
comes from the name Zeus, the ruling God in the
Greek pantheon."
-Gospel of The Kingdom
True Names and Title
Dr. Henry Clifford Kinley
1931 - Ohio USA

Instead, true Christians will let go of Christendom’s
three-headed trinity god named Jesus and call our
savior by his correct name.

Jehoshua

Christ's name (Jehoshua) is of Hebrew origin and
is taken from the name Yehoshua, which in English
is often translated as Joshua. Yehoshua, in Hebrew
means "Yehovah Saves".
-Strong's Exhaustive Concordance

Jehoshua was the name given to Christ by his
heavenly Father, Jehovah God. Many years
after his death - Rome changed his name to
suit their pagan heritage and to please their
pagan converts. "Ieous" was Greek for "Hail
Zeus", which was translated later into English
as "Jesus". And this error has continued to the
present. "The name Joshua (Jehoshua) derives
its greatest importance and highest sanctity
from the fact that it was sacredly chosen as the
name to be borne by the Messiah. This name was
corrupted and altered in time into the name Jesus."
--Personal Names in the Bible
by Dr. W.F. Wilkinson, M.A.
Joint Editor of Webster and Wilkinson's
Greek Testament: pages 342-343.

"Jesus. That was a name given to him many years after
His death. Rome wanted to remove any Jewishness from
the new church. They eliminated His Jewish name and
blended the name of Zeus in order to make it comfortable
for all those who had previously worshipped the Greek
and Roman gods. Since Zeus was the top god of their
experience, attaching the name Ioesus (hail Zeus) to
Yahshua - gave Him top priority in the worship hierarchy."

Believer or Follower?
The Sound of the Shofar
By Jon Thompson

CHRIST DECLARED :

"I have come in My Father's name and with His power..."
(John 5:43) (AMP)

And as we can plainly see, that name is not "Jesus"!

Christ will not take action on behalf of his true followers
until they give up their "J-zeus" error. Only when Jehovah's
people begin to call upon "Jehoshua" - will they obtain the
Salvation that Jehovah has promised to them.

But some will balk against such a change!

They will resist this request from God's Chosen King.
For whatever reason, there are some that will rather
leave Jehovah's earthly organization rather than
call Christ "Jehoshua".

That would be "the weeds".

"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't
you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the
weeds come from?' 'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The
servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them
up?' 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the
weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both
grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the
harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles
to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "
(Matthew 13:27-30) (NIV)

All over the world weeds have been sown in with the faithful.
They have served Jehovah side by side for some time now
just as Jehoshua Christ said they would. The time has finally
come to sort the weeds from the wheat.

"Be patient like those farmers and don't give up.
The Lord will soon be here!"
(James 5:8) (CEV)

"...I know you can't stomach evil, that you weed
out apostolic pretenders..."
(Revelation 2:2) (MSG)

"...limp souls. Useless as weeds, fragile as grass,
insubstantial as wind-blown chaff."
(2Kings 19:26) (MSG)

"...Soon, oh very soon, her harvest will come
and then the chaff will fly!'"
(Jeremiah 51:29) (MSG)

"I know your deeds... You have kept My word,
and have not denied My name."
(Revelation 3:8) (NASB)

And it was for this very reason that Christ waited so
long to reveal this truth to his followers. The Harvest
wasn't ready and he didn't want to uproot the wheat
with the weeds. But now that will not be a problem
anymore because the Harvest is ready.

The First Command directed to Jehovah's people by
God's chosen King, Jehoshua, is to begin calling
Christ by his rightful name. It is not a difficult thing
to do but it will mean putting God and Christ first
in our lives and it may also mean a loss of favor with
the rest of the Jesus-worshiping world.

A similar but tremendous dividing work happened
when Jehovah God began to take out of the nations
A People For His name. When the International Bible
Students made the decision to become "Jehovah’s
Witnesses" - to fulfil Bible Prophecy and identify
themselves as His people, some fell away - as they
were weed-like and refused to be called by Jehovah's
Divine Name.

This same dividing or separating - is happening again
today - at this time of "The End". But now, instead of
Jehovah’s name separating true followers from the
unfaithful, this time it will be the name of God's Son,
"Jehoshua" Christ that will uproot the weeds that were
sown by Satan.

A choice has to be made. A choice will be made.
One way or the other - each of us will choose the
side on which we will stand. From such a small
change will come a tremendous accomplisment.

THE HARVEST IS ON!

The wheat and weeds are about to be sorted and gathered.

Which side will we choose?
"Jesus" or "Jehoshua"?

"Now what I am commanding you today is not too
difficult for you or beyond your reach. No, the word
is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart
so you may obey it."
(Deuteronomy 30:11,14) (NIV)

"...YOU will by no means see me until YOU say,
‘Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah’s name.’"
(Luke 13:35) (NWT)

"There is salvation in no one else! God has given no
other name under heaven by which we must be saved."
(Acts 4:12) (NLT)

"Blessed is he who is coming In the name of Jehovah..."
(Psalm 118:26) (YLT)

And while we are at it…

ARE YOU SAYING "AMEN" – IN IGNORANCE ?

"By ending our prayers in 'amen'... one could very
well ask, "Have we been misled to invoke the name
of the Egyptian 'Sun-god' at the end of our prayers?"
-United Hebrew Congregation
Charles J. Voss

It is common to end a discourse on spiritual matters,
(or end a prayer) with (the word) "Amen". Few of us
realize that the word 'Amen' is an Egyptian word. It
refers to the Egyptian god of Thebes. The Hebrews
adopted the word and it passed into Christian use as
"Amen". It is a petition for (the god - Amen) to fulfill
our words.
- MYSTIC GIFTS FROM ANCIENT EGYPT
By Dr John Palo ; 1999

The Israelite exiles from Egypt knew that Jehovah was not
the same as the Egyptian god Aten, and so they presumed
he must be the equivalent of the great State God of Egypt.
It was decided, therefore, to add the name of that State-god
of Egypt to all prayers thereafter, and the name of that Egyptian
god was "Amen". To this day, the name of Amen is still recited
at the end of prayers in both Jewish and Christian religions.
- Genesis of the Grail Kings
by Sir Laurence Gardner; pg. 6

Finally, we may note that the word "Amen" occurs in gnostic
spells… especially of Egyptian origin, and a sort of magical
efficacy seems to have been attributed to this word.. The
practice of answering "Amen" at the end of prayers appears
in the Canons of Hippolytus (No. 146) and in the Egyptian
Church Order (p. 101).
- New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia
Thurston, Herbert. "Amen."
The Catholic Encyclopedia.
Vol. 1. New York:
Robert Appleton Company, 1907.

When we did it in ignorance, maybe God looked past that.
But now that you know the truth, what will you do? Will you
continue to use the name of a pagan god to close your prayers?
Is it too hard to change that now? Because you’ve been using
the ‘amen’ tradition for a long time - will you rationalize and
justify why you keep on invoking the name of the Egyptian
god, Amen? Will you find a pastor or teacher to reassure you
that "it’s okay to say ‘amen’ - Or will you give thanks to God for
revealing His truth and stop using the name of a pagan god?"
-And they all Said, "AMEN"
by J.D. Roberts

The true followers of Jehovah and
His son will know what to do.

God Bless America?

Most Americans and many people around the world
regard the USA as a fine country, even “The Land of
Opportunity”. Logically, it would seem as if God favors
the USA by the way the country has apparently been
blessed in the past by so many good fortunes. Historically,
the country went from being an unimportant colony of
Great Britain in the early 1500’s to becoming a world power
less than 500 years later due mostly to an abundance of
natural resources and “Yankee ingenuity”. God is widely
worshiped by the citizens of this country, so it makes sense
that God must have given His blessing to this land a long
time ago. The citizens of this country seriously consider
America to be truly blessed by God.

Is it true that God favors the USA over all of the others?
Does God favor any country?

What does the Bible say?

16 Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in
Hebrew is called Armageddon. 17 The seventh angel poured
out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud
voice from the throne, saying, "It is done!" 18 Then there
came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a
severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred
since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake.
19 The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the
nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and
gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.
20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be
found. 21 From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred
pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account
of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.
(Revelation 16:16-21) (New International Version)

This does not appear good for our country
or for any other country.

What will happen next?

 11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a
white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With
justice he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like blazing
fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written
on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in
a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white
horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Out of his
mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the
nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads
the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On
his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF
KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. 17And I saw an angel
standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds
flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper
of God, 18 so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals,
and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of
all people, free and slave, small and great." 19 Then I saw the
beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered
together to make war against the rider on the horse and his
army. 
(Revelation 19:11-19) (NIV)

1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples:
let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof; the world, and all
things that come forth from it. 2 For Jehovah hath
indignation against all the nations, and wrath against all
their host: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered
them to the slaughter. 3 Their slain also shall be cast out,
and the stench of their dead bodies shall come up; and the
mountains shall be melted with their blood.
(Isaiah 34:1-8) (American Standard Version)

21 And I will set my glory among the nations; and all the
nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and
my hand that I have laid upon them.
(Ezekiel 39:21-24) (ASV)

44 "In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set
up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be
left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms
and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.
(Daniel 2:44) (NIV)

1 Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain
thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the
rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against
his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bonds asunder, And
cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens
will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision. 8 Ask of me,
and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And
the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou
shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in
pieces like a potter's vessel. 10 Now therefore be wise, O ye
kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11 Serve Jehovah
with fear, And rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the son, lest he
be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be
kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.
(Psalm 2:1-4, 8-12) (ASV)

26 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers
gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One.
(Acts 4:26) (NIV)

2 Jehovah will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion:
Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. 4 Jehovah hath sworn,
and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever After the order
of Melchizedek. 5 The Lord at thy right hand will strike
through kings in the day of his wrath. 6 He will judge among
the nations, He will fill the places with dead bodies; He will
strike through the head in many countries.
(Psalm 110:2-6) (ASV)

26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with
another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are
upon the face of the earth… 29 For, lo, I begin to work
evil at the city which is called by my name; and should
ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished;
for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of
the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts. 31 A noise shall come
even to the end of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy
with the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh:
as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, saith
Jehovah. 32 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, evil shall
go forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be
raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth. 33 And the
slain of Jehovah shall be at that day from one end of the
earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be
lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung
upon the face of the ground.
(Jeremiah 25:26,29,31,32,33) (ASV)

This does not look good for the USA either. These prophecies
indicate that all of the countries of the world – every “kingdom”
will be utterly destroyed. The rulers, the armies, the political
elements and the people in office will all be annihilated.

Why?

After centuries of inept, apathetic and corrupt rule by kings,
dictators, and other assorted rulers, Jehovah intends to take
over rulership of the earth with His Son as our King!

4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been
given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who
had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and
because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the
beast or his image and had not received his mark on their
foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned
with Christ a thousand years.

(Revelation 20:4) (NIV)

This was prophesied long before Christ was even born:

17 "Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth.
The former things will not be remembered, nor will they
come to mind.
(Isaiah 65:17) (NIV)

So what would be the wise thing for us to do now?

2 Serve Jehovah with gladness: Come before his presence
with singing. 3 Know ye that Jehovah, he is God: It is he that
hath made us, and we are his; We are his people, and the sheep
of his pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into
his courts with praise: Give thanks unto him, and bless his name.
5 For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness endureth for ever,
And his faithfulness unto all generations.
(Psalms 100:2-6) (ASV

Are Psychics or Witchcraft
Helpful to Us?

People go to psychics for advice because many psychics
seem to have the supernatural ability to forecast the future,
see the past and describe a person's present situation.

Is it a good idea to consult a psychic with the intention
of learning what the future holds for us?

No. It may seem like a good idea, but it is not.

Why is it a bad idea?

First, consider that the Bible contains numerous warnings
from Jehovah himself that condemn all occult practices.
This warning was given to the Israelites before they were
to inhabit the lands promised to them:           

⁹ When thou art come into the land which Jehovah thy God
giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the
abominations of those nations. ¹⁰ There shall not be
found with thee any one that maketh his son or his daughter
to pass through the fire, one that useth divination, one that
practiseth augury, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, ¹¹ or a
charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a
wizard, or a necromancer. ¹² For whosoever doeth these
things is an abomination unto Jehovah: and because of
these abominations Jehovah thy God doth drive them out
from before thee.
(Deuteronomy 18:9-12) (American Standard Version)

All of these occult practices were being performed by the
pagan people who inhabited the land that Jehovah was
going to give to the Israelites. For emphasis, the same
rules against occult practices were repeated:

³¹ Turn ye not unto them that have familiar spirits,
nor unto the wizards; seek them not out, to be defiled
by them: I am Jehovah your God.
(Leviticus 19:31) (ASV)

²⁶ Don't eat the blood of any animal. Don't
practice any kind of witchcraft.
(Leviticus 19:26) (Contemporary English Version)

⁶ "I will set my face against the person who turns to
mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following
them, and I will cut him off from his people."

(Leviticus 20:6) (New International Version)

²⁷ "Men and women among you who act as mediums
or psychics must be put to death by stoning. They
are guilty of a capital offense."

(Leviticus 20:27) (New Living Translation)

So Jehovah very clearly did not allow His people to become
proficient in occult practices or to consult with psychics.

Were the early Israelites the only people
warned against occult practices?

No. The Apostle John also warned the followers of Christ as well:

^{7 “}All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I
will be their God, and they will be my children. ⁸ But cowards
who turn away from me, and unbelievers, and the corrupt, and
murderers, and the immoral, and those who practice
witchcraft, and idol worshipers, and all liars--their doom is in
the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death."

(Revelation 21:7-8) (NLT)

¹⁴ "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may
have the right to the tree of life and may go through the
gates into the city. ¹⁵ Outside are the dogs, those who
practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers,
the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.”

(Revelation 22:14-15) (NIV)

Where does the power to foretell the future come from?

Is it a God-given gift?

The Apostle Paul had an encounter with a girl
who was possessed by a demon of divination:

¹⁶ Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we
were met by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she
predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money
for her owners by fortune-telling. ¹⁷ This girl followed
Paul and the rest of us, shouting, "These men are servants
of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be
saved." ¹⁸ She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul
became so troubled that he turned around and said to the
spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to
come out of her!" At that moment the spirit left her.

(Acts 16:16-18) (NIV)

From this story we can see exactly why Jehovah does not want
us to practice or consult psychics such as astrologers, tarot card
readers, ouija boards, etc. The power to foretell the future does
not come from Jehovah. Obviously the power comes from demons.

Jehovah wants to help us go in the right direction. People who let
Him take the lead are better off than people who go their own way.

So how do we acquire Jehovah's help to direct us?

We must pray to Jehovah for His direction and
He will direct us if we want Him to.

⁹ Jehovah hath heard my supplication;
Jehovah will receive my prayer.

(Psalms 6:9) (ASV)

⁶ I call on you, O God, for you will answer me;
give ear to me and hear my prayer.

(Psalms 17:6) (NIV)

Can we find the right path by ourselves?

Not likely. Our tendency is to walk on the wrong path.

²³ O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in
himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
(Jeremiah 10:23) (NIV)

Many millions, perhaps billions of people around the world
consult psychics and practice witchcraft. These practices are
not only forbidden to us but they are about to become extinct. 

The advice given to us through these methods does not
come from our Heavenly Father, Jehovah but from
demons that do not care for us.

Who Tampered With
the Bible Scriptures?   

The Bible was written thousands of years ago by the
prophets designated by Jehovah, the God who created
us and the entire universe. Through the ages, many people
copied the scriptures carefully and accurately because they
knew that the words written were from Jehovah God
Almighty Himself.

Is it possible that in recent years some people may have
actually altered the written words so as to change the
meaning drastically? Are there scriptures in the Bible
now that were added without Jehovah’s consent?

Who are these people who dared to alter the Bible and
why did they dare to make unauthorized changes?

Despite the Bible’s warnings not to add to, nor take
away from the words of the Holy Scriptures, some
translators and copyists have altered and changed the
wording of various scriptures in order to support false
beliefs such as the Trinity Dogma.  

Was that a good idea?

“¹⁸ For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the
prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
¹⁹ And if any man shall take away from the words of the book
of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of
life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written
in this book.”
(Revelation 22:18-19) (King James Version)

While some verses were added that were not part of the
original text, God’s name, Jehovah, was removed to obscure
the distinction between God and His son – such as:

^“44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my
right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?”
(Matthew 22:44) (KJV)

Which lord is which?

The answer is obvious when the scripture has
not been tampered with:

”Jehovah said to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand until
I put your enemies beneath your feet?’”
(Matthew 22:44) (New World Translation)

What do Bible Scholars say about mistranslation of the Bible?

“What I discovered in most of the versions of the Bible produced
by trinitarians which I studied - is irrefutable proof of intentional
 mistranslation of words which refer to the spirit of God.  This
statement is not intended as an antagonistic denunciation of those
translators. It is simply a statement of fact, and it is a fact that no
scholar on earth can refute. In the versions of the holy scriptures
which they produce, I learned that Christian trinitarians routinely
and purposely mistranslate Greek pronouns, so as to promote
the doctrine of the holy Trinity.”

”Every time a trinitarian finger is pointed to a verse or to a word
which might, by a great stretch of imagination, be interpreted
as endorsing the doctrine of a “holy Trinity”, it only serves to show
how devoted to his faith a trinitarian can become.”
-The Influence of Trinitarian Doctrine on Translations of the Bible
   by John David Clark, Sr

From: http://www.isaiah58.com/TRINITY.HTM

“It’s interesting to see that many of the scriptural “evidences”
said to be in favor of the doctrine of the Trinity, are grounded
in mistranslation, errors in textual transmission, and sometimes
even outright forgery. These can often be exposed by even a
cursory glance at an English/Greek interlinear Bible or a Greek
concordance.”

“After all, if the Bible already clearly taught that God existed as
‘three co-equal and co-eternal persons,’ it should hardly seem
necessary to tamper with the text. The truth is, it’s unlikely the
idea of a triune God could have ever been derived from the pages
of scripture as originally given by God, for it seems to have been
unknown to the writers of God’s Word, and to the first century
church.”

Was, for example, 1John 5:7-8 altered?

1 John 5
⁷ For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
(1John 5:7) (KJV)

The NIV translation of the Bible says that it is so:

1 John 5
⁶ This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ.
He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And
it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
⁷ For there are three that testify: ⁸ the Spirit, the water and the
blood; and the three are in agreement.

are three that testify on earth: the (not found in any Greek
manuscript before the sixteenth century).

Greek text.   Under Roman Catholic pressure,

of the inspired Bible"
(Word Meanings in the NT ,  Ralph Earle. P. 452).

What about Matthew 28:19?

¹⁹ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
(Matthew 28:19) (KJV)

“When did the corruption of the baptismal formula arise?  
According to Canney’s Encyclopedia of Religion, the early
church baptized in the name of Jesus until the second century.  
Encyclopaedia Brittanica (11^th ed., Vol 3, p365) agrees, stating
that baptism was changed from the name of Jesus to the words
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost in the 2^nd century.  And in Volume
2 of the Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics, p.389, it notes that
baptism was always performed in the name of Jesus until the time
of Justin Martyr.”

Who rewrote the Bible to support the Trinity Doctrine?

”Learned men, so called Correctores were, following the church
meeting at Nicea 325 AD, selected by the church authorities to
scrutinize the sacred texts and rewrite them in order to correct
their meaning in accordance with the views which the church
had just sanctioned.”
-Einfhrung in die Textkritik des griechischen
 Testaments: Eberhard Nestle

Despite the fact that God's Son repeatedly confirmed many
times that his Father was distinct and superior to himself,
the newly formed doctrine of the Nicea Council completely
ignored his teachings. 

The trinity doctrine says they are equal, but…

Christ said that his Father was greater than he was:

²⁸ You have already heard me say that I am going and that I will
also come back to you. If you really love me, you should be glad
that I am going back to the Father, because he is greater than I am.
(John 14:28) (Contemporary English Version)

He said that there were some things he didn’t know…

³⁶ ”However, no one knows the day or the hour when these things
will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.
Only the Father knows.
(Matthew 24:36) (New Living Translation)

…and some authority that belonged to his Father was not his…

²⁰ Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons
and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. ²¹ ”What is it you want?”
he asked. She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may
sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”
²² ”You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can
you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” they answered.
²³ Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit
at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to
those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”
(Matthew 20:20-23) (New International Version)

...yet Trinitarians ignore these and many other
scriptures where Christ denied equality with God.
They had to do this to make the trinity doctrine work.

Over the years, various Scholars have researched the
question - "why are there contradictory statements
in the Bible"? Why would Christ say he was not God
in many scriptures and then declare he is God in a
few others? 

The experts have come up with findings that religious
pressure to support the Trinity Dogma caused some
copyists and translators to falsely insert and alter
certain scriptures in order to support the pagan trinity
formula that ancient Rome forced upon all of her subjects.

Was everybody fooled?

“Who but a thoroughly deluded man would be so bold as, to
intentionally mistranslate for his own doctrinal purposes, the
words of the apostles of Jesus? Who but a thoroughly deluded
man could have so little fear of the righteous judgment of God
that he would publish a translation of the Greek that he himself
knows is unfaithful to the original words, as almost all the translators
in this study have done? Jesus said that the time would come when
his followers would be murdered by those who think that they are
doing a service to God (John 16:2).”

“And if throughout Christianity’s sordid history its leaders have
felt constrained by their faith to execute people, for the simple “crime”
of refusing to receive some of its teachings, why should it be surprising
to learn that Christianity’s scholars feel free to alter, without comment,
some of the words of the Greek text in order to promote their trinitarian
doctrine?”

So today, many still believe the pagan trinity lie - and equate
it with true Christianity, while those who reject it as spurious
are labeled as a cult.  They have thus pronounced good as
being bad - and evil as being good!  

²⁰ Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who
put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter
for sweet and sweet for bitter.

(Isaiah 5:20) (NIV)

In this, the last days - all of these false doctrines, which came
from pagan Rome, would be exposed. Unfortunately, not all
will seek the light but actually prefer the darkness and have
the gall to call it “the light”.
 

The good news is that there is a group of people who
preach the truth and there are Bibles in existence that have
been translated faithfully into English without deliberate
miswording. One of them is the New World Translation Bible.
This Bible may be acquired from any of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Where Is Our Eternity -
Heaven or on the Earth?

Most Christians believe that our time here on the earth is
short and that our preferred destiny is to live forever in Heaven.
But the Bible does not say that everybody is destined for Heaven.
Many scriptures point to eternal life here on the earth such as
this well-known one the Messiah, himself said:

⁵ Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
(Matthew 5:5) (New International Version)

SOME DO GO TO HEAVEN TO RULE WITH CHRIST

"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father
has been pleased to give you the kingdom."
(Luke 12:32) (NIV)

BUT MOST OF US WILL BE EARTHLY
SUBJECTS OF THAT KINGDOM RULE
 
"I have other sheep, which are not of this fold;
I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice;
and they will become one flock with one shepherd."
(John 10:16) (New American Standard Bible)

THE  FIRST  RESURRECTION  IS  TO HEAVEN

The first resurrection is to heavenly life as our priestly
judges and leaders who will rule with Christ over the
earth for just a thousand years.
 
"I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been
given authority to judge... They came to life and reigned
with Christ a thousand years. The rest of the dead did
not come to life until the thousand years were ended.
This is  'the first'  resurrection. Blessed and holy are those
who have part in the first resurrection... they will be priests of
God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years."
(Revelation 20:4-6) (NIV)

"...with Your blood You purchased men unto God from every tribe
and language and people and nation. And You have made them
a kingdom - a royal race - and priests to our God, and they shall
reign as kings over the earth!"
(Revelation 5:9,10) (Amplified Bible)

THE SECOND RESSURECTION IS TO A PHYSICAL
BODY HERE ON AN EARTHLY PARADISE

This is the general resurrection of all the other dead,
who may live forever on a paradise earth, under
the kingdom rule of Christ and his "little flock".

"But the meek in the end shall inherit the earth and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of peace. Then the consistently
righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever."
(Psalm 37:11,29) (AMP)

How will the people who died long ago live forever?

"Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto these bones:
Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you,
and ye shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you,
and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover
you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall
live; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
...there was a noise, and behold, a rattling;
and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them,
and flesh grew and skin covered them... Thus
says the Lord GOD, 'Come from the four winds,
O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they
come to life... and the breath came into them,
and they came to life and stood on their feet."
(Ezekiel 37:3-10) (NASB)

"Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will
exalt you to take possession of the earth. When
the wicked are cut off you shall see it."
(Psalm 37:34) ASV)

SURVIVORS OF ARMAGEDDON WILL BE RULED
BY CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM CO-RULERS

"He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead
and crushing the rulers of the whole earth."
(Psalm 110:1) (NIV)

"May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule
the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth."
(Psalm 67:4) (NIV)

"...See, your king comes to you, righteous and having
salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey... He will proclaim
peace to the nations. His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River to the ends of the earth."
(Zechariah 9:9,10) (NIV)

People pray for the Heavenly Kingdom every day!

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
(Matthew 6:10) (King James Version)

What does this mean?

"May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be
done here on earth, just as it is in heaven."
(Matthew 6:10) (New Living Translation)

What kind of kingdom will it be?

⁵ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and
the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. ⁶ Then shall
the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the
dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break
out, and streams in the desert.
(Isaiah 35:5-6) (King James Version)

⁶ And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the
leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf
and the young lion and the fatling together; and
a little child shall lead them. ⁷ And the cow and
the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie
down together; and the lion shall eat straw like
the ox. ⁸ And the sucking child shall play on the
hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put
his hand on the adder's den. ⁹ They shall not
hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for
the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah,
as the waters cover the sea.
(Isaiah 11: 6-9) (NIV)
