1 Preface WHY THIS BOOK? This book is written, not because of what God has provided to us, nor what we can accomplish, get, or do through Him. These may be wonderful motives, but they may be all self-serving, selfish, and not the least bit with proper purposes. This book is written for a much higher consideration, one of which most people totally ignore. Most people may have grown up in church, or even gone to a Bible School or Seminary (actually different Cemeteries, very few ever come out alive) for learning about God, for the purpose of proclaiming Who God Is. "Who God is," is the most profound understanding a person may have. So this book is written for this purpose. ***Only when we comprehend "Who God is," and what His four Attributes (Love, Truth, Holiness, and Wisdom) and six Characteristics (Spiritual, Sovereign, Omniscience, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Immutable) are, and how only His Attributes govern His behaviors and Judgments, can we truly begin to understand Him.*** Then, after understanding our Creator, we can truly understand who we are, both in our lost condition with a natural sinning nature, but separated from our God for Eternity. Only then can we understand our great need and what our Creator did to Restore us to a relationship of fellowship with Him now and for eternity. These are the two greatest needs of people today to know, (1) Who God is, and (2) Who am I? And, not jokingly, where am I? Professing Christians generally have no true understanding of what our "flesh nature" is or what Christ did about it on His cross for us. Most all the world has been following totally false teachings in this regard, and so don t know where they are, in Truth. We seek the Truth of God, as only God knows it. We think the Truth (ALL doctrines, teachings) concerning our Creator God has been nearly totally perverted and lost in ALL the teachings of most all so-called Christianity today, whether Calvinism or Dispensationalism. What we will say in this book will be neither dead Calvinism nor Gnostic satanic Dispensationalism. We think they're teachings are a direct cause of our godless social degeneration and Marxist tyranny today in the USA. One may ask why we seem to slander most all "Christians" today. Slander means to deliberately lie against the Truth. And telling the Truth as one sees it,

2 may be a difference of opinion. It is not a slander if it is Truth as expressed by all the best evidence we have, which is the Bible. Basing opinion on the best facts of evidence is not slander, it is common sense. We shall present what we think the Bible teaches by using the Bible. We challenge your common sense. It will be your own choice that decides what you want to accept. If you want to live your life totally according to absolute Truth (Himself), regardless of any present beliefs, you may learn something. Otherwise, you are not following your Savior and Lord, you are blinded by your other master; you cannot learn anything of God. You may be playing church or even a pastor, but you are headed to hell. Most all so-called Christians today are headed for hell. We think that what the original Greek and Hebrew scriptures so clearly teach is absolute Truth (John 17:17) without equivocation. But the method of interpretation (Hermeneutics) is critical. There is a false Hermeneutic principle that is taught in every Bible School and Seminary in the world, but not in His true Church of true saints. It is blinding every person who learns it. Many are (inwardly) called, FEW are chosen (in the end). Matt 20:16 and 22:14. The Bible was given to us as God's Holy Word in Greek, Hebrew, and some Aramaic. We believe that every single word in original language Word of God is pure, one meaning throughout the Word OT and NT, and every single word having only one meaning, defined by the way the Holy Spirit uses any single word throughout in all contexts. There are no synonyms in God's Word. When we hear or read people using doctrinal words as synonyms, you know you are listening to a false teacher. Or if you hear someone giving different meanings to the same English word or Greek word in different contexts, you are listening to a false teacher. Illustrations are faith = belief = trust, or grace = God's Love = unmerited favor = forgiveness = kindness =tolerance (etc.), or repentance = belief, and so forth. Using a worldly dictionary or Lexicon's of multiple synonym meanings to determine scripture word meanings is a display of obvious blind ignorance of God's Kingdom of His Word vs. satan's world kingdom of all the Lexicons and dictionaries of synonyms. There are no synonyms in God's Word. Every word (rhema) of God is pure. Indeed, if one reads nearly every statement of faith on the internet that attempts to be complete and detailed, one finds a complete lack of understanding of Christ's Law and commandments in the OT: what Christ did in His Atonement of us, how He accomplishes our salvation, what our response should be, what such a salvation accomplishes, even how we are saved to Heaven, and a huge lack of understanding of God Himself. Indeed, for most anyone on Internet, radio, or TV to tell how to get saved, is a mockery of our Lord Himself in their explanations.

3 After such false teachings for nearly a hundred years in this country, it is little wonder that we now have regressed to a totally pagan country, celebrating sodomy for a full month each year, now promoting witchcraft and sorcery as the best way to experience God (Emergent church), and satanic Marxist socialism is being established as our form of government. Our reason for writing this book is twofold. First, it is to tell what we think is the Truth as taught in His Word, concerning "Who God is," and second, it is hopefully to open the eyes of all people to the Truth taught in His Word about His expectations of them, through His Love offered to them, by His own Coming upon earth in likeness of sinful flesh nature, Dying for them to take their inherited sinful flesh natures and sins into His Grave, and His Resurrection to Justly Give His Cleansed vessels His Indwelling Holy Spirit Mind of Christ to Live obediently to their Heavenly Father just as Christ gave us His example when He was on the earth (Jn 20:21). With this objective, we additionally understand that since most all professing Christians today are truly ignorant and blind to the teachings of the Bible, that this book cannot possibly give them the background of understanding necessary. We will make no great effort to document every detail written here with appropriate scripture. This book would become too large, and documenting with multitudes of scriptures for every statement made, we know, is not usually looked up anyway, since most in our degenerate Ibook society today only want pictures and entertainment. Schooling doesn t require them to even read or write today (2016). We can only hope that the Holy Spirit will enlighten some to search the scriptures and diligently apply themselves to read and learn Truth in the Holy Spirit, and not what the multitude of modern false teachers are orally telling them in their so called churches or so called Christian book stores. We highly recommend getting computer software to give instant searches in Greek-English Interlinear with parsings and cases and Englishman's Concordance, giving them everyplace (verse) in NT that each single Greek word occurs, regardless of how it has been translated... Word studies can be done in seconds now which years ago took many minutes, if not hours. We have also provided you with a rather comprehensive website concerning doctrines of God, Hermeneutics, and salvation in Doffun.com. Today's Christianity in USA Our hearts are in sadness, knowing that most all people attending churches today are only going to be as superficial as they can be to enjoy themselves only playing and blindly socializing to be Christians supporting extremely false teachings by Nicolaitan professional pastors and teachers for money to support themselves. Extremely few people study day and night the Bible only, or even at

4 all, to give themselves understanding of Truth and to be approved by God and to so teach their young children. Children today are raised as pagan urchins. To find any person today that is whole heartedly seeking full-truth above all else is, indeed, a very rare bird. No one (not one) in a Bible School or Cemetery (some call Seminary) is learning the Truth of God. They are falsely taught that there is no need to work or change our behavior in any manner, since they are saved by "grace" only. What ever that means, is a totally blind understanding. "Isn't 'grace' wonderful?" they say. Their hireling pastors will do all the work; just obey him as a lord, and enjoy the many amenities, entertainments, and refreshments, as long as you pay your fees to the club. These are godless satanic teachings and practices today pervading everyone's darkened understandings. And the people love it to be so. We are NOW in the latter days of the last days. We do not have many years before the antichrist will be revealed. We estimate that we are now in the beginning time of the Third Seal or Black Horse of Revelation chapter 6. The Truth of God is being extinguished from the minds of man. And all governments worldwide are becoming, without saying, Marxist (satanic) Socialist. We are told in the Bible, that in the latter days ALL nations will be killing the true Christians (Fifth Seal, Rev 6), the rapture occurs in the Sixth Seal, immediately followed by the Wrath of God for many months, and then ALL nations will knowingly go to battle against God Himself. The millions of professing Christianity today will betray and persecute the true Christians, thinking they are doing God a service. Amazing, but we can see it coming to pass very rapidly now. In fact, we are no longer a Christian nation in the USA; our society is now pagan, defined as worshipping a false god of their own making. Younger generations among us are so ignorant of our Christian heritage and country as founded by our forefathers, that the oldest generations, in their 70's and 90's, living today are dumbfounded at people s lack of understanding of most anything relating to God and their once Christian country and government in the USA. Mostly lies are being taught about it, even in our schools, turned against our God by satanic forces in our schools for the past 60 years. We no longer have schools; we have satanist Marxist Socialist indoctrination camps for our children. And our nation shall soon combine with all the other pagan nations in a New One World Order heralded by the Emergent church in religious parlance, and previously called Marxist Socialism in governments. This is in the TV and radio news nearly every day now, but, of course, fails to define it for what it really is. Even in the last Democratic caucus meetings of 2008, they were discussing how to clear the world of anyone who will oppose the One World Order of god is all

5 and god in all consciousness with unity of all mankind, regardless of religions. These teachings of the Emergent church today are clear and revealing to those with ears to hear. And even now the Roman Catholic church is vying for leadership in this One World forum. The purpose of this book must be understood from the beginning. Truth is about "Who God is," and, thereby, what a saving relationship is to Him. Otherwise, we individually perish Forever in the fires of hell. But we can live now on this earth and for Eternity as citizens of Heaven itself. Your choice.
