To all who may read this:
Chuck is WRONG. Any who would espouse what Chuck has written may not be in the Messiah and could put their eternal salvation in danger.
However, rather than expounding on the dangers of fair speeches and false wisdom, I would just like the Scriptures to address Chuck's post. That I may not appear to be "disrespectful".
If you are in Messiah, you CAN and WILL know the truth. If you don't know or receive the truth, maybe you are not one of His and cannot be saved!
Yaacov
1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Yoch
18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice
2 Cor
4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of YHWH deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of Elohim.
4:3 But if our evangel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
I Thes
2:13 For this cause also thank we without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of YHWH which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of YHWH , which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
2 Thes
2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom YHWH shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
I Tim
2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of YHWH our Savior;
2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
I Tim
3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of YHWH , which is the assembly of the living Elohim, the pillar and ground of the truth.
The truth is what separates us who are in Messiah from the rest of the world. Let NO ONE deceive you to think otherwise:
1 Timothy
6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Master, the Messiah, and to the doctrine which is according to reverence;
6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is righteousness: from such withdraw thyself.
2 Tim
2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto YHWH , a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more wickedness.
2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker:
3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Kepha 2
2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Master that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Those who deny the truth can be known are none of His...
I Yoch
1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
3:18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
3:19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.
4:6 We are of YHWH . He who knows YHWH hears us; he who is not of YHWH does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
YHWH is looking for those who worship in truth:
Yoch
4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
4:24 Elohim is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Yoch
8:31 Then said Messiah to those Yahudim which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Yoch
14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Yoch
16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Yoch
17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
I will end this post, echoing the words of Yochanon:
2:21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
2 Yoch
1:2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
Shalom in the name of YHWH,
