Who
Are We?
We often get
asked who we are, why we are doing this, and what we
believe.
To answer them in order...
"Who
are
you?"
We are a small group of people who believe in explaining scripture,
making sense of it, making it plain, and clear, and then teaching it to
others to change their lives for the better.
"Why
are you
doing this?"
We believe it is the job of everyone who knows a truth that his
neighbour does not know, to tell his neighbour. If you were reaching
your hand towards a hot stove, wouldn't you want to be warned?
Leviticus
19:17 Thou
shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou
shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and
not suffer sin upon him.
Likewise, if you were about to do something that would hurt you much
worse than a slight burn, something that could destroy your life,
wouldn't you want told? We would. For that reason, we feel responsible
to show everyone possible how to avoid the pain and suffering that this
land, and it's people, are headed towards, and indeed, already
experience. Who is happy today? Who lives a peaceful, full life? Why is
it that noone does? THAT is why we do, what we do - the answering of
that question.
Lamentations 2:14
Thy
prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have
not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have
seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
The
world today is full of
ministers saying "Peace, and safety". But it is the job of a TRUE
minister to discover the sin that is separating a person from God, and
help them to see it, and change, so that God will be pleased with them.
Proverbs
28:23
He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find
more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
"What
do you believe?"
We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired word of God, given to
help mankind avoid grief and misery. We believe that EVERY WORD of the
Bible, as it was written, agrees with one another. If they appear to
disagree, it is man
who understands it wrong and can learn from this apparent
contradiction.
John
10:35 ...and the
scripture
cannot be broken;
We believe truth is repeatable, and reproveable. Thus, if you proved
something once, no matter how many times you examine it and look at it,
it will ALWAYS be true. So TRUTH is safe from examination, and you
should WELCOME anyone helping you to examine your beliefs, to make
certain that they ARE true.

Timothy 3:15-16 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:
These scriptures that
young Timothy had known, the only
scriptures that EXISTED then, the only scriptures that had been WRITTEN
when Christ spoke those words in John
10:35, were the books of the Old
Testament! And THEY were able to make him WISE UNTO SALVATION - and not
just any salvation, but SALVATION THROUGH FAITH!
Therefore, we believe the WHOLE Bible is the word of God, and it
is ALL as binding and true today as the day it was written.
Some
things have changed through time, but the BIBLE, and the Bible ALONE
tells us what changed, and not that only, but it also tells us
WHY.
In short, we believe that the BIBLE interprets, and EXPLAINS the Bible.
IT explains
itself, MAN doesn't explain IT!
