Shalom all dear doves,

Please don't be offended when I say that I have mixed emotions when I
see some new guru, though bringing forward some awe filled Biblical
truth  ... but wanting to captivate heads (and seat pocket books too).

We are not to be tossed back and forth by every wind of doctrine by
self promoting teachers who like to use and twist the Word to their
own tell-tale wallet profit ... THOSE self proclaimed 'profits' we are
to avoid. (Even great signs and wonders are NOT the proof positive of
ones true knowledge of the Lord ... rather Jesus taught ... it is
faithful humility to His untwisted words ... to humbly do them ... and
then to say that we are but unprofitable servants because it was just
our duty.)

We are to preach THE WORD, not philosophy, not self ... and NOT mysticism.

PLEASE BEWARE ... of anyone claiming to be an Apostle today. Are there
not just 12 names on the 12 foundations of New Jerusalem ... ?  If
anyone presents themselves to you as an Apostle, ask if they expect
you to believe that their name will be found on the foundations of New
Jerusalem. (Yes, that also quashes Mohammed's apostleship claim ...
Joseph Smith's claims ... and all popes claims too.)

Those twelve men chosen personally by the Lord were under a special
anointing and inspiration of the Holy Spirit to have INFALLIBILITY in
the proclamation of THE Gospel. There are none other so ... since.
Their proclamation of THE Gospel was indeed INFALLIBLE and Thus Saith
the Lord, and all the people who have received THE Gospel say AMEN.
THE Gospel, of the Apostles, is immutable, and is not to be changed
for different cultures, or times or so-called dispensations. THE
Gospel is to be held in the highest regard as absolute truth. Anyone
who would ever presume to preach to the people of God better have ears
to hear the admonitions of The Scriptures regarding The Gospel, and
handle it with the greatest respect and even great fear and trembling.
We are all to earnestly contend for this most Holy Faith which was
once for all received by the Apostles to be handed down to the Saints.

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto
you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As
we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel
unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Gal 1:8-9

The essential facts of the Gospel are very specific in the Word of
God. Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I
preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto
you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first
of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose
again the third day according to the scriptures. I Cor 15:1-4

We see The Gospel there very clear, concise, and simple. Yet it is
complete and it describes the only way salvation of the world may be
found. THE Gospel of Jesus Christ rests upon two great foundations,
His death and resurrection. The reference to his burial is important,
not just because it fulfilled the prophecies but also validates the
truth of His death. The denial of His death is central to Satan's
largest religion of Islam, and most high level occultism. His death
lays the ESSENTIAL foundation for the great truth of His resurrection
and ascension.

Everyone who truly receives The Gospel receives the great commission
and is commanded to do the work of an evangelist by preaching THE
WORD, not philosophy, not self-image improvement, not how to prosper,
not the Talmud, and certainly not the Kabala and other occultism and
mysticism. We are called not only to proclaim the truth, and to
explain the truth, but ... by the empowerment and for the glory of God
in Christ ... to live the truth.

With careful study of The Word being led by the Holy Ghost, we are to
diligently ... 'Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.' 2
Tim 2:15

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on
him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of
God. John 3:16-18

Baruch haShem and shalom shalom,

David
