Back to the truth taught by Prophets not by scholars.pdf
- 1. Back to the truth taught by Prophets, not by scholars. Back to the truth that every person can validate. The true religion teachings teach compassion, patience, feeding the hungry, defending the oppressed, self-constraint, forgiveness; those should bring people together and should transform earth into a paradise. The manipulated teachings by scholars are based on boasting, promote hatred, skepticism, lack of faith and unnecessary conflicts. There is only one God who has revealed the same message to all prophets. The same message revealed to the prophets by the same God must be consistent. Although the core religion teachings guide us to believe in God and to do good deeds to help others, scholars of each religion have distorted some teachings to claim that their religion is the only true religion and that they have the only way for salvation. Jewish scholars teach that Jews are the chosen people of God Christian Scholars teach that they are the predestined and the glorified before the creation of the world Muslim Scholars teach that Jews are cursed, Christians are misguided, and that Muslims are the truly guided people (they should have taught that the Muslims who do not follow the prophets’ teachings are also cursed) Brahmins teach that God created them from his mouth to glorify them and created some other castes from his feet to let them serve the Brahmins - – Laws of Manu Chapter 1 They wanted to indoctrinate people that the bad caste discrimination is ordained by God; that is how Hindu priests manipulate the Hindu scripture to their benefits. Buddha did not ask people to worship statues, he did not ask them to make statues for him; it is a profitable business to those who make and market the statuses (they advise people to look at the statuses for effective meditation; that is how they promote their business based on incorrect teachings) All those scholars are not teaching the core message that God has revealed to the prophets. The common ground of religion teachings includes:
- 2. In obedience and repentance is your salvation, if you obey and do good deeds, you will be blessed, if you disobey you will be lost; that is the clear message. That message is the most consistent message by Moses, confirmed by Jesus and by Islamic teachings Amos 8:11-12 teach that People will be thirsty for the true word of God but they will not find it anywhere Psalm 56:5 teaches ‘All day long they twist my words’ Jeremiah 8:8 teaches the lying pen of the scribes has distorted the word of God Jeremiah 5:30-31 teach that the priests have distorted the religion teachings and that the people love those distorted teachings People are confused by the contradicting teachings, they try to search the internet for the true word of God, but they find many distorted teachings Instead of the true teaching ‘You shall not murder ‘in Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy 5:17 The scribes who glorify defeating their enemies ignored the true teaching and added some verses to justify the killing like Exodus 23:23, Numbers 31:16-18, Joshua 6:20- 21, Judges 15:14-16 and Judges 16:30 Instead of ‘Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore’ in Isaiah 2:4, they have justified atrocities. Instead of the true and most consistent teachings of ‘blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience’ in Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28, Deuteronomy 11:26-28, Deuteronomy 4:40, Deuteronomy 6:24-25, Deuteronomy 7:12-15, and Deuteronomy 8, they teach that God has chosen them regardless of their obedience as in the distorted teachings of Deuteronomy 9:5-6 and Deuteronomy 7:6-8 Jewish scholars teach that Jews are the unconditionally chosen people of God; that is wrong according to the teachings of Moses like Exodus 19:5, Leviticus 18:4-5, Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy 28, Deuteronomy 30:15-16 , and Deuteronomy 30:19, Deuteronomy 32:46-47 Moses did not teach that the Jews are the only chosen people; the correct definition of the chosen people of God as taught by Moses is an open invitation to each person to be a chosen son of God by obedience, by maintaining justice, by applying one measure or one law for Jews and Non-Jews, for taking care of the orphans, the widows, and the strangers
- 3. Jewish scholars do not teach the original teachings anymore; they teach the distorted teachings of Deuteronomy 9:5-6 and Deuteronomy 7:6 in order to claim that God has chosen them regardless of the condition of obedience Those claims were not taught by Moses, David, Solomon, Isaiah, or by the Prophets; those prophets have warned of the wrong teachings Why do scribes and scholars manipulate the word of God? They want to provide attractive teachings instead of the strict teachings to make people feel happy and donate more. Instead of “Blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience” they teach “you are the chosen people of God” Instead of “unless you repent, you too will all perish” In Luke 13:3 and 13:5 They teach that people are born sinners, cannot save themselves, priests have provided a free salvation by someone who died for their sins. Deuteronomy 24:16 and 2 Kings 14:6 teach that the children are not responsible for the mistakes of the fathers The fathers shall not be put to death for the children; neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin Most churches do not teach the true teachings like Matthew 10:8 ‘Freely you have received; freely give’; they teach that it is o.k. to reap the financial gifts in exchange of the spiritual gifts and preach the attractive teachings like: ‘And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified’ Romans 8:30 They try to make people feel happy with such attractive teachings in order to receive more donations. “If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?” 1 Corinthians 9:11. Most churches do not follow the strict teachings which urge us to obey God as taught by Jesus in Matthew 22:35-40, Luke 10:25-28, Mark 12:28-34, but they prefer the attractive teachings of Paul like ‘We are saved by grace through faith apart from works’ - Ephesians 2:8-9
- 4. ‘Even when we were dead in sins, we are saved by grace’ - Ephesians 2:5 ‘A man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law’ - Romans 3:28 ‘A man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith’ - Galatians 2:16 ‘For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse’ - Galatians 3:10 Most churches do not follow the strict teachings like If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away which is taught by Jesus in Matthew 18:9, Matthew 5:29 and Mark 9:47, but they prefer the attractive teachings of Paul like: ‘God has chosen us before the foundations of the world’ - Ephesians 1:4 ‘God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation’ - 2 Thessalonians 2:13 ‘For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation’ - 1 Thessalonians 5:9 ‘But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed!’ 1 Corinthians 15:51 ‘God has saved us and called us’ - 2 Timothy 1:9 ‘We have been justified through faith’ - Romans 5:1, Romans 5:9 Most churches believe that Jesus’ death was necessary for the forgiveness of sins. But Jesus, like all other prophets, taught that we can earn salvation by obedience, repentance, and good deeds to help others. No human sacrifice is necessary for salvation. No human bloodshed is necessary for salvation. No savior should die for the salvation of others; everyone is responsible for his own salvation. Jesus has also confirmed the same in Matthew 18:21-35, 6:14-15, Mark 11:25-26, Luke 6:35-38, Matthew 19:16–19, Matthew 21:43, and Matthew 25:41–46
- 5. If the teachings of Moses, David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jesus, and the prophets confirm that there are evil and righteous, then Paul in Romans 3:23 says that all people are sinners are evil, then he must be wrong. If the teachings of Moses in Deuteronomy 30:11-14 and the teachings of Jesus and the prophets confirm that obedience is possible then Paul change that in Romans 10:5-9 and Galatians 3:10-13, then he must be wrong. If the teachings of Moses, Jesus, and the prophets affirm that salvation and eternal life are through obedience, repentance, mercy, and good deeds, then Paul says otherwise, then he must be wrong. If Jesus emphasized on following the law and said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, and my words will not pass away,” then Paul says otherwise and says not to follow the law, then he is contradicting the words of Jesus that will not pass away until heaven and earth pass away, which are written in Matthew 24:35. If he mentioned that he saw Jesus and there were differences in the three times he mentioned seeing Jesus, and he did not bring witnesses to confirm his story to the disciples who doubted his credibility, then he cannot be trusted. See Acts 9, Acts 22, Acts 26. If he did not learn anything from Jesus nor from the disciples whom Jesus taught, then he taught what contradict teachings of Jesus and the disciples, then he must be wrong. Jesus denied his divinity: In Mark 10:18, Luke 18:18-19, Matthew 19:17, Jesus was asked: “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said: “Why do you call me good? No one is good—except God alone”. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” There is no mention of the original sin, atonement, sin inheritance, salvation by faith alone, or accepting Jesus as saviour, but inheriting eternal life by obedience. That is also confirmed in Luke 10:28 “Do this and you will live.” And in Luke 10:37 “Go and do the same.”
- 6. When the scribes wanted to support the doctrine of atonement, they have added verses like Matthew 18:11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost The bible footnotes explain that verse Matthew 18:11 was not in the original old scriptures Hebrews 9:22 “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” is a misunderstanding of verse Leviticus 17:10-14 which is not about atonement but is about dietary laws. God has clarified that blood in meat is not good for health; that clarification was necessary to the people who did not have advanced medical tools to know that eating the meat with the blood still in it is bad for health The true word of God is not what is written by the unknown writer of Hebrews; it is what has been taught by Moses, David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jesus and the Prophets who taught the forgiveness is possible by obedience, repentance, and prayers Proverbs 16:6 teaches that “In mercy and truth atonement is provided for iniquity.” Psalm 69:30-31 teaches that praise worship is better than sacrifice 2 Chronicles 7:14 teaches that forgiveness is obtainable without a blood sacrifice ‘If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin’ Jonah 3 teaches that people are forgiven when they repented and fasted, without offering any sacrifice and without shedding any blood The Muslims who justify killing of innocent people are not true Muslims because they do not obey the Qur’an verses like 5:32, 4:90, 2:190, 8:61, 17:33, 25:68 and 6:151 which teach ‘You shall not kill - God has made life sacred’ The Muslims who teach to kill the unbelievers are mistaken; verse 9:6 is enough proof for their mistakes, because Muslims are supposed to protect the unbelievers and they cannot protect them after killing them The Muslims who justify killing of those who leave Islam are mistaken because they do not obey the Islamic teachings like Qur’an verses 2:256, 16:125 and 18:29 which teach Freedom of Religion The Muslims who justify the killing of the hostages are mistaken; verse 8:70 proves that the hostage is not to be killed, because Muslims are supposed to comfort the hostages and they cannot comfort them after killing them
- 7. The Muslims who teach that Islam is the only true religion are mistaken; they have been ordered to believe in what has been revealed to Moses, Jesus and other Prophets as taught in Qur’an verses 3:84, 4:136, 4:152 and 42:13 The Muslims who teach that the fate of people had been determined before they were born and before they had any chance to do good or bad are mistaken; they ignore the basic Qur’an verses like 4:147, 4:152, 6:48, 6:54, 17:15, 45:15,43:72, 16:35, 19:63, 19:76, 20:112, 34:50, 37:39, 39:41, 39:70, 40:17, 47:17, 55:60, 56:24, and 18:107 The verses teach that God does not predestine people’s fate but gives them the choice either to obey and do good deeds or to rebel and do evil deeds; there is no punishment for those who choose to obey and to thank God. Brahmins urge simple people to donate and offer generous gifts to the Brahmins claiming that people will get hundred-thousand-fold rewards – Laws of Manu Chapter 7 An offering to Brahmins saves from misfortune and from great guilt. – Laws of Manu Chapter 3 Brahmin sanctifies any company (which he may enter), seven ancestors and seven descendants, and he alone deserves (to possess) this whole earth – Laws of Manu Chapter 1 Chapter 7 teaches that Kings should honor Brahmins, should be lenient towards Brahmins, and should consult them in important decisions and should always obey them Hindu priests teach that money given to Brahmins is declared to be an imperishable treasure for kings Chapter 8 teaches that Brahmins are the masters of everything and authorizes Brahmins to decide in justice and law matters Chapter 9 provides exceptional inheritance rights to Brahmins Chapter 11 entitles Brahmins to take the law into their own hands and settle the disputes without referring to law and justice system of other castes Brahmin is the image of God and is the master of all castes – Laws of Manu Chapter 2 and 10 Bhagavad Gita indoctrinates the military leaders to obey the Brahmins even if the military leaders were asked to kill their family members
- 8. Moses warned of the expected turning from the way he has commanded Jews, in Deuteronomy 31:27-29 he used strong words like “For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against God while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die!” And “For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall on you because you will do evil in the sight of God and arouse his anger by what your hands have made” Jesus has warned the priests who spend more time in the houses of widows. In Matthew 23:14 he said “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation” In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus warned of the false teachers who mislead people Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves The same teaching is also written in Luke 6:43-44 As Moses and Jesus warned of the false teachers who explain religion to their benefits, the prophet of Islam has also warned of those who ignore the true teachings and teach different teachings “I will say those people are from me. It will be said, 'You do not know what changes and new things they did after you.' Then I will say, 'Far removed (from mercy), far removed (from mercy), those who changed (the religion) after me!” That is recorded in Bukhari 7051 Book 92, Hadith 4 and in Volume 9, Book 88, Hadith 174 The best advice is to follow the common ground of the clear teachings as taught by the prophets. The same message revealed to the prophets by the same God must be consistent, clear, and easy for all people regardless of their level of education or experience
- 9. How can you validate my claims? The best advice is to ask God to guide us to the truth. The door is open for everyone to experience divine intervention The wise and merciful father keeps his door open for his children God has more wisdom and mercy than any wise merciful father People can communicate with God at any time Prophets of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have urged us to ask God and taught that God answers the prayers of the obedient believer. Example verses are: Psalm 107:28-30, Psalm 18:6, Psalm 145:18, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Isaiah 58:9 Matthew 7:7, Mark 11:24, Luke 6:27-28, James 4:2, Qur’an 2:186, Qur’an 40:60 Even if you are agnostic, you should not have a problem accepting a creator for that marvelous universe, pray to that God. Agnostics do not deny the existence of a creator, they do not like the wrong religion teachings and the bad priests who reap the financial gifts in exchange of the alleged spiritual gifts. Do not call any name like the God of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, or Hinduism, just pray to the only true God who has created everything. Do not worry about how you will receive and understand the answer; God has created us and he knows how to convey his message to us. I have spent years wondering about what the purpose of life is. I have analyzed the teachings of Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, and Islam and prayed to God to guide me to the truth. I had some doubts about the teachings of a certain teacher, I have prayed to God to guide me to the truth I saw in a very clear dream that teacher in a form of a criminal prisoner, has committed evil, waiting for his trial. In another dream I saw a wolf hiding after attacking sheep; I understood that message as the bad teacher who try to mislead people by the bad teachings as Jesus explained in Matthew 7:15-20
- 10. “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves”. I also remembered the Parable of the Weeds in which Jesus warned us about the enemy who insert false teachings into the scripture in Matthew 13:24-43 ‘an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat’ Pray and ask God to guide you about the teacher who claims that God does not exist; you will see him in a bad image Pray to God to know the truth about the teacher who teaches that Jesus is God Pray to God to know the truth about the teacher who claims that God tests us in this life and will reward us according to our obedience and good deeds Pray to God to know the truth about the teacher who taught original sin, atonement, salvation not based on obedience but taught free salvation by a savior to die for our sins Pray to God to know the truth about the priests who teach that God created them from his mouth to glorify them and created some other casts from his feet to let them serve the Brahmins Pray to God to know the truth about the priests who teach that it is o.k. to worship Vishnu, Shiva, Rama, or Krishna If you see good roads, green views, good food that could be explained as the true path and the spiritual food If you see those priests in bad images, dirty roads, or rotten food those could be indicators about the bad path of the false teachers and their bad fruits (wrong teachings and deeds) You do not have to accept my views; you may check and analyze the mentioned verses You do not have to accept my claims about communication with God; try to establish your own communication You do not have to accept my personal experience; you know how to communicate with God and it will be your own personal experience Scholars have been debating religions for thousands of years People should not wait for thousands of years when they have been asked to consult God to guide them to the truth
- 11. In our business, we do not let debates continue forever, we escalate to higher levels to settle the disputes Again, do not worry about how you will receive and understand the answer; God has created us and he knows how to convey his message to us. Isaiah 58:9 ‘Then you will call, and God will answer, you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I’.
