My Understanding of The True God - Cathrine Thomas (robert munsch read aloud TXT) 📗

a dream some time ago: I was standing by a man in a long garment; he was looking in a book and said to me, “It will be in 3 months’ time”, but in my dream I remember seeing something that was either reversed or in a mirror image. I woke up much later to realise what this dream meant: Jesus did not die for our sins; no man can die for another mankind sins; but you will die because you believe he died for our sins and taking him as a god; this is what the reversal in my dream meant for me.
We have also been told in the Torah that we must remember where we were descended, from Abraham our Father and Sarah our Mother.

As for Judaism, Jewish people today are also just as sick as others: they do not want to see that we are going through physical changes; they may be God’s chosen ones, but in the Bible it says that God will scatter his children throughout the earth; the Messiah will come from a far country; the Messiah will also be from the root of Jesse; the Branch will be in his name; the Messiah will bring good tidings. Yet today’s Jews are getting ready to build the third temple while they are still waiting for the Messiah. Who told you to build the third temple? When people like me ask you questions, why don’t you answer us correctly? Why are you waiting for your prophets to tell you what you can and cannot do? Aren’t you meant to inform people that God the Creator is the only one? When I read the Bible (the Old Testament), no wonder I cry so much, because it was the Jews that first went up against God’s word, and that was why people started other religions for their own gain. Why don’t you stand up for our God and make things right? You also do things in vain, and not in the correct manner: the Passover, for instance: why do you sell the leaven goods to the Rabbi and then buy them back or sell them after seven days when they have gone bad? Is this not in vain for what the Passover is to symbolise? The Passover is to show us that God helped Moses out of Egypt from slavery, and they walked very far without food; Moses eventually got near the promised land because of God’s power, and yet what have you done to the beautiful land? Once again it has been destroyed because of the love of power and money and because you have forgotten how you got there. Judaism should first correct this: you are God’s chosen people: start acting the part. You are not the only suffering servants; we are all suffering servants, because of your errors. We are meant to remember the ancient and consider the new; stop your sacrifices that are done in vain. You are rich suffering servants and you think only about money. To take an example from the present time: I went onto the internet, to get information about Judaism: I didn’t get the answers I wanted, but you were quick to ask for donations to buy something that I don’t think is valid or beneficial to anyone: when you help someone, it should be from your own giving; if I want to make a donation, it should be for the correct reasons: to help the unfortunate; and it should be from my heart. Israel is not the promised Land, but Jerusalem is. The Bible talks about the House of Israel, not the land Israel. If I remember correctly, God said that mankind will call a country after Israel.

I consider that the Jews made the initial mistake: Moses had not come down from the mountain, and what were the Jews doing? Creating other gods. Then King David’s son Solomon went all wrong. It is only if King David’s children keep the word of the Lord God that they will sit on the throne of King David. The Jews have so interbred with other nations that I doubt that they can still be called the blood line of King David.

Today Donald Trump declares that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel: the Prime Minister of Israel is afraid to say anything to counter Americans. Present-day Israel wishes to continue to be America's trusted allies. The world knows what it is all about: Israel and America want to rule the world, but it is not going to happen. Read Isaiah 18:2, in which Isaiah prophesies against the people of Israel when they “Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth of skin, to the people terrible from their beginning onward, a nation powerful and treading down, whose land the rivers divide."

The Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said that King David will be very proud of him, but, if God was cross with King David for all the bloodshed that took place, why would King David be proud of you? I consider that the people of present-day Israel are self-righteous people: they steal from the poor; there are small children are getting killed; they take people’s land and water away from them. Are they righteous?

South Africa did the right thing when it took its embassy out of Israel: I hope that many other countries will follow suit.

Let us return to the role of the Messiah: I cannot find any reference in the Old Testament to our having to pray to the Messiah to get to God. Let us study some Old Testament passages: first Jeremiah 31:31-34:

31. “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah
(The Bible refers to “the house of Israel” and “the house of Judah”, not the countries. God will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.)
32. “Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them,” says the Lord.
(This is the covenant God will make with us, not sending Jesus to die for your sins.)
33. “But this is the covenant that I make with the House of Israel after those days,” says the Lord: “I put My law in their minds, and I write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
34. “No more shall every man teach his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord’, for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” says the Lord. “For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I remember no more.”
(“No more shall every man teach his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord’, for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” says the Lord. “For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I remember no more.” Why has this been changed?)

Let us now go back to Jeremiah 23:

5. “Behold the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; a King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgement and righteousness in the earth.
6. “In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7. “Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’
8. “but, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the north country and from all the countries where I have driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own land.”
(This tells us that wherever we were driven, we shall go back to our own land.)
The Messiah will have the spirit of God upon him, and not claim to be God.

The Lord “brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt”. We, as believers in the God of Creation, are all “children of Israel”. Why do we take another mother and father? In today’s world children often do this, and, the only time they get to know their biological parents, is when they need money. If you are true children of Israel, why did you take another god or pray to someone else to get to God?
It is time now for you to go back to the original God, who created you and named you, and ask him directly, “Am I a true child of Israel?”

What I wish for is that all God’s children return to Him. I think He will be so happy if all His children turn back to Him. He can tell us all the stories and how he made the earth, stars, moon, and sun; we can all walk with Him, and, when we get tired, God can carry us: the Lord tells us in the Bible, “I will carry you even in your old age.”

The child of one of my friends died, and I wondered how she felt, and then I wondered how God must feel about His children who have all gone away from Him, following after falsehood.

It says in the Bible you must not say it is a conspiracy. Whatever God has said is going to happen: for example, our children will be sinister towards us; mankind will be bad; women will encircle men, but He will send a man to devour the earth.

Let us read Micah 7:5-6:

5. Do not trust a friend; do not put your confidence in a companion; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom.
6. For the son dishonours his father, a daughter raises against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own household.

And now Isaiah 31:1-2:

1.Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many, and in horsemen, because they are exceeding mighty; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord!
2. Yet He also is wise, and bringeth evil, and doth not call back His words; but will arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
3. Now the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh, and not spirit; so when the LORD shall stretch out His hand, both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall perish together.

Let us now read Isaiah 66:7-9 with reference to what some Christians refer to as the Miracle Baby:

7. “Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before her pain came, she delivered a male child.
(Some Christian followers quote this as referring to the miracle baby, Jesus.)
8. “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children.
(It is your God who is asking, “Who has heard such a thing?” These Christians do not pay attention to these words.)
9.”Shall I bring the time of birth, not to cause delivery?” says the Lord. “Shall I cause delivery and shut up the womb?” says your God.
(Despite these words, our world has artificial insemination, cloning of human beings, and other practices that go against God’s words in the Bible.)

Let us now consider whether Jesus died for our sins by looking at verses from Deuteronomy:

Deuteronomy 24:16. Fathers shall not be put to
