to CHANGE this world or convert this world or make it a better
world, as Protestants think. He came to start a whole new and
different world. So he chose and called 12 men--drafted them, so
to speak. For 3 l/2 years he TAUGHT them the WAY OF GOD--which is
the GOVERNMENT of God. Through them he started his Church--people
called OUT of this world--people who had grown up IN this world,
but to REPENT, BELIEVE his teachings based on GOD'S LAW, which is
the basis of God's GOVERNMENT. Still living IN the world, but no
longer part OF it, learning GOD'S WAY of life based on God's LAW,
which is the basis of God's GOVERNMENT. On real repentance and
believing Christ and living as we shall in GOD's coming world--
living as God and Christ have always lived--the TREE OF LIFE is
open to us, even as it was open to Adam before he sinned.
Receiving the Holy Spirit of God to dwell with our human spirit,
the two spirits become ONE--just as Adam and Eve became ONE family
humanly, we become spiritually ONE in mind with God.
Under the 12 apostles, the 120 disciples who had followed
Jesus, having received the Holy Spirit of God on the day of
Pentecost, taught the other 3,000 baptized that same day. They, in
turn, were to teach a multiplied larger number converted in the
following days. THEY BECAME THE START--THE EMBRYO--OF AN ENTIRELY
NEW AND DIFFERENT WORLD, to reign and rule and teach others in
GOD'S WORLD, beginning with their resurrection at the Second Coming
of Christ. But Satan was still on earth's throne. By A.D. 53, 22
years after the Church started, much or most in the Church had
turned away. The Gospel was suppressed. A false gospel of MEN
about the person of Christ, but denying the GOVERNMENT and law of
God, counterfeited the true Gospel of Christ--the Gospel OF THE
KINGDOM--of GOD'S GOVERNMENT.
When I was converted, 56 years ago, the true Church still
retained the Sabbath and the name "Church of God," but had lost
knowledge of the true Gospel of the KINGDOM OF GOD, knowledge of
the whole PURPOSE and Master Plan of God--knowledge of who and what
God is, what and WHY man is, what salvation really is.
Brethren, think a moment. HOW did the first Church of God
receive its doctrines--its teachings--its beliefs? Answer: Only
through the APOSTLES. And how did they receive this teaching?
Direct from JESUS in person. He is the WORD of God. The Bible is
the SAME Word of God in writing! How did YOU receive the true
teachings of Christ? From God's apostle. How did I receive this
wonderful truth? From the SAME JESUS, only IN WRITING. The Bible
is a coded book. The Catholics and Protestants have access to it,
but can't UNDERSTAND IT! WHY? "A GOOD UNDERSTANDING have all they
that DO his COMMANDMENTS," says Christ in writing--in the Bible.
Catholics and Protestants say his commandments are DONE AWAY--
nailed to the cross! They CAN'T understand the Bible. Jesus said
these truths are hidden from the wise of this world and revealed to
babes--to those who submit to his commandments and his GOVERNMENT.
I was astounded, 56 years ago, to see that what I had been
taught in a Protestant church was the very opposite of the plain
teaching of the Bible. I submitted to the GOVERNMENT OF GOD! I
GAVE my life to Christ, to let him live his life IN ME. He opened
my understanding to HIS TRUTH, used me to share it with you and all
