The Holy Bible

2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation.

2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of YAHWEH spoke as they were moved by the holy Spirit.

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See you do it not: I am your fellowservant and of your brethren that have the testimony of Yahshua: worship YAHWEH: for the testimony of Yahshua is the Spirit of prophecy.

It is curious that in the system of doctrine of the Trinity where the Holy Spirit was made to a person named “Holy Spirit”, the Father himself was even made to a SPIRITLESS GOD. For if the Holy Spirit is personalized (the Holy Spirit has done this and that) then the Father is subject to dull spiritless existence. It is strange, very strange. Still, the Holy Scripture has been written for all people by the prophets of God! The human doctrines that have been introduced since the fourth century denigrate the word YAHWEH’s in its clarity. That has been also so before the first coming of our Master Yahshua in Israel occupied by the Romans, as the word of YAHWEH as well as the rules to be followed by the faithful were made impossible and as tightened in the interpretation of the high scholars, the Pharisees, Sadducees, chief priests, that it was very difficult for the faithful to fulfill all these requirements. A system that had turned into a system of rule.

Since the first century many people worldwide have been denounced for their faith, persecuted and killed because they have been accepting the Holy Scripture, the Word of YAHWEH, as the only legitimate benchmark and have distanced themselves from human teachings which are contrary to the Scriptures.

The basic principle is:

“Whoever either kills or murders a person or gives an order for murder to state institutions, special facilities, special units is a murderer: “The spirit of Satan in this human has come to its full expression!’”

“Whoever smokes, takes drugs!”

Here is another remark that is not preached in the churches, like it should be:

“Whoever SMOKES, takes drugs - including ALCOHOL, abuses and corrupts his body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit [i.e. the temple of God], will be ruined by God himself.”

These people put themselves under the control of a different spirit coming from below, not from above.

1 Corinthians 6:19 What? Know you not that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from YAHWEH? And you are not your own;

1 Corinthians 6:20 For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify YAHWEH in your body, and in your Spirit, which are Elohim (YAHWEH).

1 Corinthians 3:17 If any man destroys the temple of YAHWEH, him shall YAHWEH destroy; for the temple of YAHWEH is holy, which temple you are.

Smoking tobacco.

Tobacco is a slow, treacherous, but a very vicious poison. In whatever form it is used, it has an effect on the entire body. The more it is dangerous because its effects are first slowly and barely perceivable. It excites and after that paralyzes the nerves. It weakens and befuddles the brain. Our nerves are usually attacked stronger than numbing beverages. Tobacco and its consequences are difficult to eradicate from the system. Its use awakens our thirst for strong drinks and in many cases it is the cause of drunkenness.

The use of tobacco is detrimental, costly, dirty, stains the one who uses it and harasses other people. One can come across its followers everywhere... It is unpleasant and unhealthy to stay in a railway car or a room where air is filled with alcohol and tobacco smells...

Tobacco use is doing unspeakable harm to children and young people. The unhealthy habits of past generations exert their effects on children and youth of today. Mental incapacity, physical weakness, disordered nerves, and unnatural desire are inherited from parents to their children. The same habits of the children multiply the evil and propagate it. Physical, mental and moral deterioration, which gives so much cause to concern, is in no small measure attributable to that.

Boys begin smoking tobacco at a very early age. If this becomes a habit at a time where body and mind are particularly susceptible to the consequences, the body power is undermined, the body becomes stunted, the mind is addled and the moral is poisoned...

No human needs tobacco, but countless numbers of people collapse due to the lack of means, which are rather than wasted if used.”

“Intoxicating beverages.”

~ Ephesians 5:18; Titus 2:3; Proverbs 9:4-6; 20:1; 23:20, 29-35 ~

No human hand has ever designed an accurate picture of slaveryand humiliation of the victims of intoxicating beverages. Subjugated, humiliated, they awake in a feeling of misery, they are powerless to get out of these tights; they will 'require the same again and again.'

No proof is necessary to show the severe impact of intoxication on the drinker. The befuddled, bewitched, human wrecks - souls for whom Christ died and angels cry about - are everywhere. They are the shame, the curse and the bane of the country.

Who can imagine the misery, the agony, the despair hidden in drunkards’ homes? Just think of women, often well-educated, sensitive, built-up and accustomed to a more refined way of life, who are allied with men who turned into drunkards or a demons due to drinking...

Intoxication is generated by wine, beer and cider to the same extent as by stronger drinks. The enjoyment of these beverages gives taste for stronger ones, thus resulting in drunkenness. Moderate drinking is the school where men are educated for the career of a drunkard. But the influence of these mild stimulants is so insidious that the path to drunkenness is entered before the victim even suspects any danger ...

In the Old Testament Christ gave the warning to the people of Israel: “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” (Proverbs 20:1) ... Tea, coffee and similar beverages, tend in the same direction as alcohol, spirits and tobacco and in some cases, it is equally hard to break the habit, as it is for the drinkers to give up consuming intoxicating beverages. Those who try to give up these irritants will miss them for some time and suffer without them. But they will overcome the desire by their power of endurance no longer feeling a lack thereof. Nature may require some time to recover from the suffered injury, but you should give her a chance, and it will rise again and do its work well and willingly.

from “The Ministry of Healing,” by EG White, 1907, p. 334-339, 342

Why does the German translation say “God” and the English translation, the Bethel Edition, is “Elohim” instead of “God”?

This is a problematic case. It’s about the name “Elohim.” In most Bibles the word “Elohim” is translated as “God” directly. Unfortunately this is not an accurate and correct translation. The difficulty lies in the translation from the Hebrew, Aramaic text into German, English and other languages where we deal with word-for-word translations, also as far as the word “Elohim” is concerned. However, this word has many meanings, whereby due to these options and consequential difficulties in the meaning and thus in the translation, the reader should be aware that one should leave the word “Elohim" as it is written.

The word “Elohim” has been put in its original position. In the present work the name for God is also “El”, “Eloah” and “Yah,” which are all short descriptions of his title or his name. An interpretation that Jesus/ Yahshua is called by the name of YAHWEH is to reject as fundamentally wrong and to declare as misleading and God vilifying. This interpretation has the sole purpose to present the Master Jesus/ Yahshua as God and herewith destroying the personal relationship of the Father and the Son. This is a contradiction which will come up again and again on reading the Scriptures. (Hebrews 10:7; Psalm 40:6-8)

As we can see from the scripts “Yahweh’s Assembly in Yahshua” (see attachment), the letter “J” was for the first time introduced in the Middle Age. To allow better reading and pronouncing of the names to the reader, the letter “J” has been kept in the German part: "JAHWEH" and "Jahschua". In the English part, the old spelling “Y” of the names "YAHWEH" and "Yahshua" was reinstated.

2 Kings 4:42 And there came a man from Baal-Shalisha (translated from Hebrew = Lord/ Master of the Trinity, a Truine God!), And brought the man of Elohim bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of grain in his sack. And he said, Give it to the people that they may eat.

Explanation by an editor: “There came a man who worships the God Baal-Shalisha or written differently: Baal-Salisa, i.e. a pagan God, and brought the man of the living God bread of the first-fruits. The reader can hereby recognize that these are two different Gods. Translated from Hebrew the word ‘Baal’ means ‘the Lord’ or else written ‘the LORD’. The Hebrew word ‘Shalisha’ or in other Bible translations written as: ‘Salisa’ interestingly means ‘Lord or LORD of the Trinity, a Truine God’:

This means nothing other than that the doctrine of the Trinity - a Gods’ system also called ‘The Triads’. It’s all one and the same.”

Experiment: Should the written word ‘LORD’ or spelled differently as: ‘LOrd’ or ‘Lord’ (standing for the Father in the most Bibles) be removed from most existing Bibles and replaced by the Hebrew word ‘Baal’, the reader can see that in reality, the existing Bibles serve to worship God of the sun “Baal,” “Sun worship system of Baal,” who could not be anything else but ‘Lucifer’, say ‘Satan’.

To analyze all this, the result, the synthesis is:

“Not the living God YAHWEH, YAHWEH Elohim, our true Father in heaven, gets the true worship in the existing Bibles by the name LORD (standing for Father), but his opponent - called’ Satan ‘.

Every person should think about this result using his clear mind and take a decision whom he is going to worship in future.

The German word „Herr“ is predominantly translated in English as ‘Lord’. In its verbal explanations The Bethel Bible Edition comments as follows:

a) ‘lord’:

- A common term for ‘master, ruler.’ Its use is equated with that of the Hebrew word ‘baal’ – a pagan, unacceptable word to True Worship and abhorred by YAHWEH.

b) ‘LORD’:

- in the KJV (King James Version), supposed translation of the Tetragrammaton, the four-letter Hebrew proper noun which is the revealed personal Name of the Heavenly Father, Yahweh, arrived at by transliteration of the Name from the Hebrew. Properly substitute Yahweh when reading.

On revision of the translation by Dr. Martin Luther, the words “wicked, wickedness” could be found in many verses. However, in retrospect it has to be noted that the term “lawless and lawlessness” would be more appropriate, see also Elberfeld Bible of 1871.

Reason: Everyone in this world has a god, whether a football god or other gods, a human puts himself, cars and other values at the top position hereby downgrading the priority of the living God, even being convinced: “There is no God.” Since the law, WRITTEN WITH THE FINGER OF ELOHIM, existed already on the day of creation and was revealed to Israel in writing first on Mount Sinai, and the King Solomon explained very clearly in Ecclesiastes chapter 12, verses 13 and 14 that the commandments of YAHWEH Elohim, His law, have to be kept by everyone, all those people who do not observe the commandments are to be called lawless.

So I wish all of those who do not believe in the Son of God that one day they would realize the existence of the living God and not receive the plagues for their disobedience and their lawlessness, and thus may be granted eternal life, if this should correspond to the will of YAHWEH, the Elohim of hosts/ YAHWEH Sabaoth. For he knows our hearts, our deepest thoughts, “for God is pure light!” So, repent for, confess your sins and love the Master Yahshua. - Do not love the world [and do not find yourself in secret organizations]! For friendship with the world, means hostility with God!

(1 John 1:5; 5:13; Galatians 3:10; Deuteronomy 27:26, 1 John 2:15; James 4:4)

“For You are blessed, O YAHWEH {1 Corinthians 1:31}, for all your goodness and mercy and for Your blessing upon this work in the last time of grace before the plagues of the seven bowls will descend upon the world- ‘the final expression of your anger’. (Revelation 18:3-4) We are at the end of the world’s history just before the second coming of your Son Yahshua the Messiah.

‘Who should pull us out of your hands? All who love you, O YAHWEH, are under your wings, under the arms of the Almighty! Who should separate us from Your love! Be it the celestial powers, the forces, the world leaders of this darkness, the underworld, the army of evil spirits in the heavenly places, you’ll shrink them all! Be it the powers of darkness, which get people depressed, people who do not know you - you will keep safe your people, spiritual people of Israel from this disease created by the hands of Satan. Hallelujah!

“In the name of Yahshua the Messiah, you are blessed forever and ever. Amen.”

{Daniel 12:1; Malachi 3:16, Ephesians 6:12, Revelation 20:12+15, 21:27, 22:18-19}

John Biermanski in the Master Yahshua the Messiah

“Pilgrims at all seasons resorted to the shrine of the virgin; but at the great yearly festival of its consecration multitudes came from all parts of Switzerland, and even from France and Germany. Zwingli, greatly afflicted at the sight, seized the opportunity to proclaim liberty through the gospel to these bond-slaves of superstition.

"Think not," he said, "that God is in this temple more than in any other part of creation. Wherever he has fixed your dwelling he encompasses you and hears you. ... What power can there be in unprofitable works, weary pilgrimages, offerings, {images}, prayers to the virgin and the saints, to secure (for) you the favor of God? ... What signify the multiplying of words in prayer? What efficacy in the cowl or shaven crown, or priestly garments falling, and adorned with gold? {What efficacy has a glossy cowl, a smooth-shorn head, a long and flowing robe, or gold-embroidered slippers?} God looks at the heart - and our heart is far off from God." "Christ," he said, "who offered himself on the cross once for all, is the sacrifice and victim that satisfies for all eternity, for the sins of all believers."

“In seeking to cast contempt upon the divine statutes, Satan has perverted the doctrines of the Bible, and errors have thus become incorporated into the faith of thousands who profess to believe the Scriptures. The last great conflict between truth and error is but the final struggle of the long-standing controversy concerning the law of God. Upon this battle we are now entering, - a battle between the laws of men and the precepts of Jehovah {YAHWEH}, between the religion of the Bible and the religion of fable and tradition.”

“It is one of the leading doctrines of Romanism that the pope is the visible head of the universal church of Christ, invested with supreme authority over bishops and pastors in all parts of the world. More than this, the pope has arrogated the very titles of Deity {God}. He styles himself “Lord God the Pope," assumes infallibility and demands that all men pay him homage. Thus the same claim urged by Satan in the wilderness of temptation is still urged by him through the Church of Rome, and vast numbers are ready to yield him homage.

But those who fear and reverence God meet this Heaven-daring assumption as Christ met the solicitations of the wily foe: "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God {YAHWEH your Elohim}, and Him only shalt thou serve." Luke 4:8. God has never given a hint in his Word that he has appointed any man to be the head of the church. The doctrine of papal supremacy is directly opposed to the teachings of the Scriptures. The pope can have no power over Christ's church except by usurpation.”

There his no shadow of turning with Thee;

Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;

As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

"Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!"

Morning by morning new mercies I see;

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided,

"Great is Thy faithfulness!" YAHWEH to me!

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,

Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above,

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.

Refrain:

Pardon for sin and (a) peace that endureth,

Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,

Blessings all mine, With ten thousand beside!

The Bible.

Its Origin, History, and Place in the World.

The Bible contains proof in itself of its divine origin. No other book can answer the questionings of the mind or satisfy the longings of the heart as does the Bible. It is adapted to every age and condition of life, and is full of that knowledge which enlightens the mind and sanctifies the soul.

In the Bible we have a revelation of the living God. Received by faith, it has power to transform the life. During all its history a divine watch-care has been over it, and preserved it for the world.

How, When, and Why Written?

After the flood, as men became numerous, and darkness was again settling over the world, holy men wrote as they were moved by the Spirit of God. Thus God spoke to His people, and through them to the world, that a knowledge of God and of His will might not perish from the earth.

For centuries this work went on, until the Messiah, the promised Seed, came. With Him, and the blessed message of light and salvation proclaimed by Him and by His apostles, the Scripture record closed, and the Word of God was complete.

Printing and the Bible.

Printing, however, being yet unknown, copies of the Bible could be produced only by the slow, laborious, and expensive process of handwriting. Tnhis necessarily greatly limited its circulation. Worse still, its illuminating and saving truths were largely hidden for centuries by the errors, superstitions, and apostasy of the dark ages. During this time the common people knew little of its contents.

But with the invention of the art of printing about the middle of the fifteenth century, and with the dawn of the reat Reformation in the century following, the Bible entered upon a new era, preparatory to the final proclamation of the gospel [good tidings] throughout the world.

The Bible in Native Tongues.

Thus far, however, the Bible had been published only in ancient tongues, now little understood by the common people [in Aramaic, {in Greek} and in Latin]. Without the Word of God in their hands, the good seed sown among them was easily destroyed. "O", said the advocates of its pure teachings, "if the people only had the Word of God in their own language, this would not happen! Without this it will be impossible to establish the laity in the truth [But Satan hate the Bible and all reader of the common people: The Bible brings light in Satan's dark and deceitful working method.]."

And why should they not have it in their own tongue? they reasoned. Moses wrote in the language of the people of his time; the prophets spoke in the tongue familiar to the men whom they addressed; and the New Testament was written in the language then current throughout the Roman world.

The translation of the Bible into English by John Wyclif, in 1380, was the chief event in the beginning of the Reformation. It also prepared the way for the revival of Christianity in England, and the multiplying there of the Word by the millions, for all the world, that has followed.

To make such a translation at that time, says Neander, "required a bold spirit which no danger could appal." For making it Wyclif was attacked from various quarters, because, it was claimed, "he was introducing among the multitude a book reserved exclusively for the use of priests." In the general denunciation it was declared that "thus was the gospel [good tidings] by him laid more open to the laity, and to women who could read, than it had formerly been to the most learned of the clergy; and in this way the gospel [the good tidings] pearl is cast abroad, and trodden underfoot of swine." In the preface to his translation, Wyclif exhorted all the people to read the Scriptures.

A sense of awe and a thrill of joy filled the heart of the great German Reformer, when, at the age of twenty, while examining the volumes in the library of the university of Erfurt, he held in his hands, for the first time in his life, a complete copy of the Bible. "O God," he murmured, "could I but have one of these books, I would ask no other treasure." A little later he found in a convent a chained Bible. To this he had constant recourse.

But all these Bibles here, as elsewhere, save in England were in an ancient tongue, and could be read only by the educated. Why, thought Luther, should the living Word be confined to dead languages? Like Wyclif, therefore, he resolved to give his countrymen the Bible in their own tongue. This he did, the New Testament in 1522, and the Bible complete, the crowning work of his life, in 1534.

Impressed with the idea that the people should read the Scriptures in their mother tongue, William Tyndale, likewise, in 1525, gave to the English his translation of the New Testament, and later, of portions of the Old Testament Scriptures. His ardent desire that they should know the Bible was well expressed in the statement that if God spared his life he would cause the boy that drives the plow to know more of the Scriptures than was commonly known by the divines of his day [and also more to our time: the 21st century!].

The first complete printed English Bible was that of Miles Coverdale, printed at Zurich, Switzerland, in 1535. Matthew's Bible, Taverner's Bible, and The Great Bible prepared at the suggestion of Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex, appeared soon after. Thus the light of truth began to shine forth once more; but not without opposition.

Burning of Bibles.

As Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes under King Zedekiah showed their contempt for God by burning the writings of Jeremiah, and confining the prophet in a dungeon (Jer. 36:20-23; 38:1-6), so now men sought to stem the rising tide of reform by burning the Bible and its translators.

Bible burning was inaugurated in England by the destruction of copies of the Antwerp edition of Tyndale's New Testament, at St. Paul's Cross, London, in 1527, followed by the burning of a second edition in 1530. A little later there were wholesale burnings of the writings and translations of Wyclif, Tyndale, Basil, Barnes, Coverdale, and others.
