“The Way” Explained

 

1.  What is The Way? Answer:   It is the belief system that Jesus Christ, himself, established before He left this earth.  Many believe that the Catholic Church is the oldest Christian  religion but it is not. 

 

2.  Where does it say in the Bible that Jesus established The Way?  Answer: Jesus said it himself when He said at John 14:6, “I am The Way, the Truth, and The Life; no one comes to The Father, except  through Me.” and then He shows that He is The Way. Please turn to Acts 9:1-5.  (1.) But Saul, still breathing out threat and murder  against the Lord’s disciples , called on the high priest(2) and requested of him letters  to the Damascus  synagogues, so that if he should find there any men or women who were of “The Way,” he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.(3)But as he traveled and approached Damascus, a light  from heaven  suddenly shone all around him.(4)He fell to the earth and heard a voice that spoke to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”(5)He said, “Who are you Lord?” He answered “I am Jesus, whom you have been persecuting.”  In other words Dear Reader, Jesus  is telling him, that when you are persecuting the believers in “The Way,”you are persecuting Jesus  himself, who is “The Way.” ( Gal.1:1,9,10,11,12,13,22,23,24)

  3.  What did Saul do when he realized that Jesus Christ truly did exist and was resurrected and that He had returned to heaven to sit at the right hand of His Father?(Hebrews 10:12,13)  Answer: At verse (6) we read: Trembling and astonished, he asked, “Lord, what would you have me to do?” The Lord said to him “Rise and enter the city and it will be told you what you must do.”(7) The men who were with him stood speechless; they heard the voice well enough, but saw no one. (8)Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened  his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.(9) and for three days he remained blind and neither ate nor drank.(10)Now there was in Damascus a disciple by the name of Ananias, to whom the Lord said in a vision,“Ananias!” He said, “Here I am Lord.”(11)The Lord said to him,“Arise and go into the street called Straight and inquire at the home of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus; for he is there praying.(12)And he has seen a man named Ananias entering and laying hands on him so that he may see.(13)Ananias replied, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much he has hurt Your saints (The believers in The Way) in Jerusalem.(14)and here he has authority from the chief priests to put into chains every one who calls upon Your name.”(15)But the Lord told him, “Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.”(16) For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.” (17) So Ananias went and entered the house.  Then placing his hands upon him he  said, “Brother Saul, the Lord appeared to me–Jesus who appeared to you on the road you traveled so that you may recover sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”(18)Instantly it was as if scales fell from his eyes; he saw again.  He arose and was baptized;(19)then, after eating something, he regained strength. (Heb. 1:1-4 and Acts 7:55,56)

 4.  Did Saul, who later became known as Paul, join the believers known as The Way?(Acts 13:9)  Answer: Yes, he certainly did. Dear Reader please turn to Acts 24:14, “But this I confess  unto thee, that after The Way which they call heresy, (sect, or cult) so worship I  the God of my fathers, believing all  things which are written in  the Law, and  in the Prophets” (K.J.V.)

 5.  What is The Way made up of?  Answer: Living stones that believe in Jehovah God and His firstborn Son, Jesus Christ.  Let me explain.  Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them: “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone that the builders rejected is the one that has become the chief cornerstone.” and turn to Isaiah 28:16 “therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste.”(A.S.V.1901) So The Way are living stones that Jesus’ Father adds on to his Son Jesus Christ because we read that you can’t go to His Son unless He, the Father draws you to His Son.  Turn to John 6:44 “No man can come to Me unless the Father, who sent Me, draws him”  Now to those of you who believe that Jesus and His Father are one and the same,(They are one in purpose but not literally One) if the Father is going to be totally ignored in all of this, why would He draw you to His Son, only to have You disregard Him who Sent His Son to You?(John 17:21) Could it be that some people are worshiping the Creation rather than the Creator? Yes. Jesus is a creation: Proverbs 8:22 Jehovah created Me,, the beginning of His Ways, for His Works.” (The Septuagint Bible) and Romans 1:25 says this about it: “and reverenced and served the created thing more than Him having created, who is worthy of praise into the ages.”(taken from the Emphatic Diaglott by Benjamin Wilson published 1864) I am  endeavoring to show you how important it is for you to be drawn by Jesus’ Father and given to His Son Jesus.  You cannot be part of their temple made up of living stones unless their arrangement is followed.  Not yours or mine.  So you might ask the question, “How do I know if I am drawn by Jesus’ Father Jehovah?” Turn to Malachi 3:16 “Then they that feared Jehovah spake one with another; and Jehovah hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written up before Him, for them  that feared Jehovah, and for them  that thought  upon His name.(A.S.V.1901) Dear reader, Paul writes at 2nd Corinthians 6:16 “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?  For ye are the temple of the Living God; as God hath said,“I will dwell in them (living stones are temples) and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” and John 14:22,23,24, says this: Judas, not Iscariot, asked Him, “Lord, how does it happen that You are going to show Yourself to us and not to the world?” Jesus  answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word and My Father will love him and We shall visit him and make Our dwelling with him.  The one who does not love Me does not keep My word though the word you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.” Dear Reader, Jesus said that, when you belong to His Body you are all “One Man” in He Himself.  Please turn to Galatians 3:27,28, “For as many as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. (28) There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male or female; for ye all are one man in Christ Jesus.(29)And if ye are Christ’s then are ye Abraham’s seed, heirs  according to a promise.” and please turn to Luke 8:19-21 “Then came to Him, his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. (20) And it was told him by certain (ones) which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without desiring to see thee.(21) And he answered and said unto them, “My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.”  Dear Reader do you have a better understanding of the fact that when you belong to Jesus’ body, THE WAY, you lose all earthly labels.

 6.  Is the Church of God a building made with human hands?  Answer: No.

Please turn to Acts 17:24, “ The God who made the world and all it contains, who is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples built by human hands” and now turn to Galatians 1:13,(Paul is speaking here) “You have heard of my previous career in Judaism, how violently I persecuted the church  of God (The Way) and devastated  it” Now go back to Acts 9:1-5 and you will see that the believers in The Way were the church of God and not a building made with human hands. (A.S.V.1901 ACTS 7:47)

 

7.  How many living temples  does it take to have a church?  Answer: Jesus said at Matthew 18:19,20, “ Again, I say to you, that if two of you on Earth may agree, about any thing which they may ask, it will be done for them, by the Father of Me, that is in heaven. For where two or three are assembled in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”(E.D. “Original Greek Scriptures” 1864)

 

8.   Is it a serious thing to leave The Way and go follow something that Jesus did not establish? Answer: Galatians 1:8,(Paul speaks) “But even if we or an angel from  heaven should preach to you a gospel that differs from what we have preached to you–a curse on him.”  And Proverbs 15:10 says, “Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh The Way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.” Also Jesus said at Luke 11:23 “He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.”

9.  What happened to The Way? Answer: As long as men like Paul were around they acted as a restraint against the tide of Grievous Wolves who  were chomping at the bit to dismantle The Way.  But now I’ll let Paul speak. Turn to Acts 20:28,29 30,“Be on guard for yourselves and for the entire flock over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers; shepherd the church of God,(The Way) which He has bought with His own blood.” “For I know that after I have  left, Grievous wolves will make their way to you, that have no mercy on the flock; and from your own number also persons will arise who will teach twisted things  to draw away the disciples after them.” Dear Reader, the main reason that the Grievous Wolves  would want to draw men out of The Way is this; turn to 2Peter 2:3, “And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of You”(in other words extract money from You, even though Jesus said at Matthew 10:8 “Ye received freely, give freely” and  now can You see the plan Dear Reader, The Grievous Wolves that were going to draw men out of The Way planned on building large churches, made with human hands and ran by greedy men, saying twisted  things, and that  takes  money, yours and mine.) Please  turn to 2nd Thessalonians 2:1-12(1) But we entreat you, Brethren, concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our assembling to Him,(2) that you not be quickly Agitated in Mind, nor Alarmed, neither by a Spirit, nor by a Discourse  nor by a Letter as from  us, as though the day of the Lord was present.(3) Let no man delude You by any means, because the APOSTASY must come first, and there must be Revealed That Man of Sin, that Son of Destruction.(4) the Opponent, who indeed  lifts  himself  above everything called Divinity or Majesty; so as to seat  himself in the temple of God, exhibiting himself that he is a God.(5) Do you not remember that while I was with you I said these things to you?(Grievous wolves will enter among you yourselves to draw men after themselves)(6) and now you know What Restrains, in order to his Being Revealed in his own Season.(7) for the secret of Lawlessness  is already working, till only the One Restraining for the present shall be out of the way, Acts 20:28-30;(8) and then will be revealed the Lawless One; whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of His mouth, and annihilate by the Appearance of His Presence: (9) Whose Coming is according to the Energy of the Adversary, with All Power, and Signs and Wonders of Falsehood,(10) and with Every Deception of Iniquity to those who are Perishing, because they admitted not the love of the Truth in order that they  might  be saved.”(11)And on account of this God sendeth  them a working of error, that they should believe a Lie:(12) that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” Paul rented a house for two years and received all that went unto him, preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things  concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, The Way with  all boldness, none forbidding him.”Paul would not have charged for the good news either.(Acts 28:30,31; 2ndThess.3:8)The Way disappeared after the restraint (Paul, and the brotherhood known as The Way was done away with) thus clearing the way for the Apostasy (packed with Grievous Wolves) to take root and mislead the masses with their LIES, and desire for money, and power being their goal.(1st Cor.10:1;11:2;15:1-9)

10.  How does The Way feel about graven images?  Answer: Graven images were not tolerated by Jesus’ Father Jehovah God.(Exodus 20:4,5) The fact that merchants were then, and still do today, make a fine living selling religious images must be addressed. This is brought out by the New Catholic Encyclopedia,(1967)“Vol.IV p, 486“The representation of Christ’s redemptive death on Golgotha (depicting of such on a carving of a cross in wood, metal or plastic) does not occur in the symbolic art of the first century Christians due to their awareness of Jehovah God’s  prohibition of graven images.  They were reluctant to depict even the instrument (of death) of the Lord’s Passion. Now this goes along with Acts 19:23 where the makers of religious images and idols are upset with The Way, and Paul for we read here at verse 23: “And about that time there arose no small stir concerning The Way.(24) For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto the craftsmen;(25) whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like  occupation ,and said ,Sirs, ye know that by this business  we have our wealth.(26) And ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost  throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away many people, saying that  there are no gods, that  are made with human hands” (A.S.V.) And Psalms 115:(1) “Not unto  us, O, Jehovah, not unto us, But unto thy name give glory, For thy loving kindness, and for thy truth’s sake.(2) Wherefore should  the nations say; Where now is their God?(3) But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever  he pleased. (4) Their idols (gods) are silver and gold, The work of men’s  hands.(5) They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not; (6) They have ears, but they hear not; Noses  have they, but they smell not; (7) They have hands but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their Throat.(8) They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea everyone that trusteth in them. (9) O Israel, trust  thou in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.”(a.s.v.1901) Since 2001 The Way  has been revealed, in order that those of you who have understanding can “COME OUT OF HER (the Apostasy spoken about in 2nd Thessalonians 2:1-12 and Revelation 17: read all of chapter 17 and 18:4 and 1st Corinthians 6:15 ) MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”   

11.  What does The Way believe, in comparison to the religions that sprang up after the restraints were  gone? Answer:(1.) Jesus’ Father has a name above all others. That name being JEHOVAH or some Bibles say YAHWEH.  Psalms 83:18, “That they may know that thou ‘alone’ whose name is JEHOVAH, Art the Most High over all the earth.”(Use a  King James Bible and not a New King James to look up above verse) (2) The name Jesus means Jehovah  is Salvation.(3) The Way does not believe the doctrine of the trinity that was basically forced  upon the bishops to accept at the council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. Because the Trinity  doctrine says that The Father, The  Son and the Holy Spirit  are three individuals all inhabiting one body, all co-eternal, and co-equal, with no beginning and no end. In today’s times God would be diagnosed with “multiple personality disorder.”  Thus the Trinity Doctrine cannot be true because Jesus, as you read previously had a beginning.  He was the first  Son, His Father, Jehovah, ever created and then Jehovah through His Son, Jesus Christ created everything else that exists.  Also the Father, Jehovah God is Holy Spirit and His entire heavenly family is Holy Spirit.  Jehovah  can pour out as much or as little of His Holy Spirit upon individuals as he likes.  It is a Holy Spirit  unlike any other because with His Spirit  that is Him, He created His Son, and then, together, everything, the universe, etc.  The Trinity Doctrine  also teaches that of all three, none is greater than the other, again this is not true because Jesus says at John 14:28, “Ye heard how I said to you, I go away and I come again unto you.  If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than Me.” (John 14:28; Isaiah 53:1;Proverbs 8:22; Colossians 1:15;and 3:1;Acts 2:1-17) Dear Reader, if the men at the council of Nicaea would have had the Father’s blessing he would have poured out Holy Spirit upon all of them, just as He did on the day of Pentecost. Now please note that on the day of Pentecost, Holy Spirit  was poured out and tongues  like flames of fire sat upon each one of them and they were filled with Holy Spirit.  Please turn to Hebrews 1: 7;“And with respect to the Angels, indeed He says, “It is He who makes His angels  Winds, and His Ministering Servants a “FLAME OF FIRE.”(4) The Way  believes  that we, who are living temples,  blessed  to be drawn to Jesus Christ by His Father Jehovah, know that we become ONE body just like His Father and Him are ONE, but knowing that they and we are not literally ONE.(John 17:2,3,21) If anyone desires to become ONE with the Father and His  Son  they must read 1st Corinthians 3:16,17; “Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? (17) If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God , and such are ye.” (5) The Way  believes that the way of Salvation is what is said at Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thy heart that God (Jehovah) hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”(6) The Way also knows that we are on the verge of being branded like cattle exactly as The Way, Jesus Christ revealed to His disciple John at Revelation 13:15,16; “ And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that  the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.(16) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark  in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.(18) Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”(K.J.V.)  The temple of God that is You, if you accept the Father and His Son, must not be numbered  by Satan’s world. Please  turn to Leviticus 19:28 “ Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon You: I  am Jehovah!” (A.S.V.) Dear Reader, perhaps you or people you know have tatoos or cuttings  upon their flesh, having done these things because they didn’t have accurate knowledge of how Jehovah  felt about such things.  If this  is so, please understand that our Father can forgive anyone who did not have accurate knowledge  of the Scriptures and what Jehovah  expects of us.  You still have time to ask Jehovah  for forgiveness and ask it in His Son Jesus’ name and you will be forgiven (John 15:16) Jesus says at verse 17; “ These things I command you, that ye love one another.(18) If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you,(19)If ye were of the world , the world would love it’s  own”but because ye are not of  the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.(20) Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his Lord.  If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.(21) But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they do not know Him that Sent Me.” (7) The Way believes the Bible is true when it comes to what happens to people when they die. Please turn to Genesis 3:19: “In the sweat of your brow you must make a living until you return to the ground, because out of it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you shall return.” The Bible says also at Ecclesiastes 9:5 “The Living know  that they shall die, but the dead do not know anything.”and verse 10; All that your hand finds able to do, do it with all your might: for there is neither work nor invention  nor knowledge  in sheol, (grave) toward which you are moving.” And turn to Psalms 146:4 “When his  breath  departs  he reverts to his earth, and in that day his plans go to ruin”The Way knows that death is the result of sin that we inherited from our earthly Father Adam.(Romans 5:12)  Jesus referred to Lazarus as being asleep, and the disciples took Him to mean literal sleep, until he explained that  this sleep was not normal sleep, but death, and he was on His way there to awaken  him from death.( John 11:11-14 ) When Jesus was put to death His Father, Jehovah God, woke Him up from  literal death. Turn to  Romans 10:9, and read please.(8) The Way  does not consult with spirit mediums who claim to be able to talk to our dead loved ones.  Here is why; Please turn to 1st Samuel 28 and read the account of when King Saul inquired of a medium who communicated with the so-called dead.  Jehovah certainly punished him for doing what He said never to do; consult with  the dead, so  in battle God made sure King Saul and his sons would die at the hands of the Philistines. The Way believes that Satan the Devil, is the Father of  the lie exactly as Jesus said that he is. He and his demons (fallen angels) are extremely crafty and experts at misleading people into thinking that they are communicating with their dead loved ones.  Most people are aware that when you enteract with a ouija board you are at grave risk of bringing into your presence a demon or the Devil himself, the same goes for tarot card reading and palm reading but especially so with the ouija board. The information  gained from these tools (or any tools used to get in touch with the demons) can  be uncannily accurate because demons  can walk beside us our whole life and so they “know”our secrets but so does our Father and the Father is the Only One who can read our hearts.  He wants us to rely on Him for all of our needs. (John 8:44;1st John 5:10-12; 2ndCor.11:14,15;1st Kings 8:39) Think, Dear Reader ,if  Satan is the deceiver of the entire  inhabited earth, why couldn’t him and his army of demons convince one person that they actually visited with their dead loved one(s) when they consulted a spirit  medium? Revelation 12:9 “And the great dragon, the serpent of old, called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of “all” humanity, was forced out and hurled to the earth, and his angels were flung out along with him.” and Deuteronomy 18:10-12: “There must not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire, anyone  practicing divination or soothsaying, observing omens, applying sorcery, a charmer, a medium, a wizard, or a necromancer. (consulter of the so-called  dead) For all who do these things are offensive to the Lord;(Jehovah) and because of these abominable practices  the Lord your God will be driving out these nations  before you.” and Leviticus 20:6; “And the soul that turneth  after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off  from among his people.” and 2nd Cor.11:14,15; “And no marvel; for Satan himself  is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers (demons) also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”(9) The Way believes that Jehovah will soon be giving the command to His First Born Son, Jesus Christ, to gather their Heavenly Army of Angels  to return to the earth to do battle with Satan, his army of Demons and  all the people who are happy with the Beast system, and robot technology that they would do to everyone if Jesus did not return. The Way knows that Jesus is coming back because He said He is. The return  is going to bring about the bloodiest battle in earth’s history. It is called  Armageddon. But before the slaughter begins Jesus is going to send  out His Angels  to gather from one extremity of the earth to the other, His chosen people and take them to safety, making sure they are not destroyed in the battle. Jeremiah 25:31; “A  noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for Jehovah  hath  a controversy with the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, (Jesus) saith Jehovah. (32) Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great  tempest shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.(33) And the slain of Jehovah shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung (manure) upon the face of the ground.(34) Wail, ye shepherds, (they that taught the Lie) and wallow  in ashes, ye principle of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and ye shall fall like a goodly vessel.(35) and the shepherds will have no where to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.(36) A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principle of the flock ! For Jehovah layeth waste their pasture.(37) And the peaceable folds  are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.(38) He hath left His covert, as the Lion; for their land is become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing sword, and because of His fierce anger.”(Matt.24:31-51; Rev. 19:11-21) (10) The Way believes that  it is  the readers responsibility  to read their Bible for themselves in order to acquire accurate knowledge  that can save  not only their lives but those who listen  to them. Please turn to 1st Timothy 4:16 “Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching.  Continue in these  things; for in doing this  thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee.”

Dear Reader,

Have you ever heard someone say; “I know I am a good person, I pay my bills on time, I’m honest and I am a good provider   to my family;” or “ I am a good mother and take great  care of my family and home;” Well in our Father, Jehovah’s  eyes  if you are not  taking in lifesaving knowledge about HIM and HIS  SON, that He Sent as THE WAY out of this Evil world, then you are considered “wicked” in His Eyes. Please turn to Hosea 4:6; “My people are destroyed  for lack of knowledge, because thou hath rejected Knowledge I will  reject  thee;”  And Jeremiah 10:25; says “Pour out  thy  wrath upon the nations  that know thee not, and upon the “families” that do not call upon Your Name;” and this verse here is of Vital Importance, to You, Dear Reader. John 17:3 “And this is Life Eternal, that  they  should “know” thee, the Only True God, (JEHOVAH) and Him  whom  thou  didst  Send, JESUS CHRIST.”(11) The Way knows that  the ancient Babylonians worshiped a three-headed god and the grievous wolves (part of the great APOSTASY that rose up out of Rome) incorporated this  pagan belief into their Lie!; The blasphemous Lie that Jesus Christ and Jehovah are the same person!! Dear Reader, IF Jesus Christ  is the Most High God, JEHOVAH, Who sits or stands  at HIS RIGHT HAND?? (Acts 7:55,56) (12) The Way  believes  that proper headship consists of four heads. Please turn to 1st Corinthians 11:3 “But I would have you know that the head of every man is Jesus Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Jesus Christ  is Jehovah God.”(13) The Way believes that there is a distinct separateness between Jehovah God and  His Son Jesus Christ and that they are not literally ONE, but ONE in purpose.  Turn to Matthew 3:16, 17; “And Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened  unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God  descending as a dove, and coming upon Him; (17) and lo, a “VOICE” out of the heavens, saying, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM ‘ I’ AM WELL PLEASED.” And Matthew 17:5 “While He was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a “VOICE” out of the cloud, saying, “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM ‘ I’ AM WELL PLEASED; HEAR  YE  HIM.”

And understand that Jesus wanted everyone to know that He was not the one to be worshipped and He endeavored to make that clear to everyone.  Please turn to John 12:28-30;“Father, glorify thy name.  There came therefore a“VOICE” out of heaven,“saying,” “I  HAVE  BOTH  GLORIFIED  IT, AND WILL GLORIFY IT AGAIN.”(29)The people therefore, that stood by and HEARD  IT, said that it had thundered: others said, An Angel spake to Him.(30)Jesus  answered and said, This VOICE came not because of Me, but for YOUR  SAKES!” (14) The Way understands that  Jesus cannot be the  Most High God, Jehovah, because  no man has seen God at any time!

Please turn to Deuteronomy 4:24 it says that “For the Lord thy God is a Consuming Fire and a Jealous God.” and turn to John 4:24; “God is a Spirit: and they that  worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and Truth.” And John 1:18 says “No man hath seen God at “any” time; the only begotten Son, which is in the  bosom of the Father, he hath declared Him.”(To Us) And if Jehovah shows you His Face one time You will die!

Please turn to Exodus 33:20; “ And he said, Thou canst  not see My Face; for man shall  not see Me and Live.”  And now turn to Hebrews 10: 12,13; But He, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the Right hand of God;(13) henceforth expecting  till  his enemies be made the footstool of His  feet.”

Dear reader, careful thought will help You See that if You were Sent to earth by Your Father, did everything He sent You to do, spoke Only what Your Father wanted You to, and made known Your Father’s name, JEHOVAH,(John 17:6) glorified Your Father continuously in word and prayer, and taught Your followers to do the same, and then later on, after You had returned to Your Father and Looked down on Earth and saw millions of people worshipping“You” Only and Ignoring Your Father , Who Loved Them So Much Even To Send “You”to be The Way, their Savior, wouldn’t You feel terrible?? You would be “hurt” to Your very core for Your Father who is being denied  the “Worship” due “HIM” and Furious at the Millions  who give the credit and the glory to “You,” and You knew You Left complete instructions for “WHO TO WORSHIP in  the Scriptures.  You set  the example! Well Jesus did know that this would happen and that may be the reason He said at Matthew 7:13,14, “Enter ye in by the narrow gate: For “Wide” is the gate, and Broad  is the road that leadeth  to Destruction, and “Many” are they  that  enter in thereby. (14)For narrow is the gate, and narrow  is “THE WAY” that leadeth  unto LIFE, and “Few” are they that find it.”

Dear Reader  please get off the popular wide roads and become one of the  “Few” that follow “THE WAY” May Jehovah, the Only True God richly bless You through His Created first born Son, Jesus Christ. Amen!   I used the King James Bible, The American Standard Version of 1901, the Emphatic Diaglott, by Benjamin Wilson 1864 containing the Original Greek  Scriptures, from the Vatican 1209 Manuscripts of the 4th and 5th century, and the Septuagint Bible containing the oldest  translation of the Old Testament, and the Revised Berkeley Version.

Dear Reader,

You are probably wondering what brought about the resurfacing of The Way, after two thousand years.  Well in 2001 a Biblical Scholar by the name of Bryant Hopson was studying his Bible as he had done everyday for over fifty years.  One night as he was reading his Bible he came across the verse John 14:6 where  Jesus said unto him, “I am The Way, The Truth and The Life: no man cometh  unto the Father, but by Me.”  Well, he had read that verse thousands of times  before but this  time something about  it really stood out and he knew  that The Holy Spirit was showing him something..  And he remembered that the Bible said at Psalms 146:3,4 “Trust not in chiefs, nor in the sons  of men, in whom  there is no safety.”

He then turned to Acts 9:1-5 and as you read in the beginning of this document, the earliest believers in Jesus Christ were called The Way, after Jesus Christ who is The Way.  After hours of research  about The Way, he realized that most organized religions, many claiming to be the only way to salvation, are really only brokerage houses each one telling their followers that they have the best deal to get you into  Heaven or Paradise and that takes away from the words Jesus himself said: “I am the Way, the Truth and The Life.” and the  fact  that Jesus  truly  is The Way.(Jesus is also the Only door! Please read John 10)

I now want to tell you, Dear Reader, how I met Mr. Hopson.  My husband and I went to Fort Bragg, California on March 28, 2003.  The next day while I was making copies of my spiritual drawings, I met Mr. Hopson .  Not long after that he was sharing his spiritual knowledge with me.  I had been searching  for some real answers, for I was very disillusioned with what was being preached by all religions I had studied.  I prayed to Jehovah, whom I already knew to be God, to show me something real and true.  He did!  He brought me to Fort Bragg to meet Mr. Hopson.  Now you have a chance to know him too.

If you would like to know much more about The Way please feel free to write or call him,

“The Way”

CAN YOU HEAR ME?  CAN YOU HEAR ME RUNNING?

Proverbs 18:10 “The Name of Jehovah is a Strong Tower; The righteous runneth into it and is Safe.” (American Standard Version 1901)

Isaiah 42: 1-8 “Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit  upon Him; He will bring forth  justice to the Gentiles.(2) He will not cry, nor lift up His voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.(3) A  bruised reed will He not break, and a dimly burning wick  will He not quench: He will bring forth justice in truth.(4) He will not fail nor be discouraged, till He have set justice on Earth; and the isles shall wait for His  Law.(5) Thus saith God Jehovah, He that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; He that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: (6) I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;(7) to open the blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the dungeon, and them  that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.(8) I AM JEHOVAH, THAT IS MY NAME; AND MY GLORY WILL I NOT GIVE TO ANOTHER, NEITHER MY PRAISE TO GRAVEN IMAGES.(9) Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.(10) Sing unto Jehovah a new song, and His praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.”

Dear Reader, here’s a quote from the exact  translation from the Original Greek Scriptures that are contained in Benjamin Wilson’s Emphatic Diaglott written in1864, from the Vatican1209 Manuscript.

John1:1 In A beginning was the word and the word was with God and A god was the word.  This was in the beginning with The God.”(Note that Jesus is referred to as A god, with a small g, showing that One is greater than the other) Please turn to Deut.18:18 “I will raise up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words  in His mouth, and He shall speak unto them “All” that I shall command him.(19) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him.”

And Exodus 23:20-23 says:“Behold, I send  an Angel  before  thee to keep thee by The Way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.(21) Take ye heed before Him, and hearken unto His Voice; provoke Him not; for He will not pardon your transgression; for My Name is in Him.(22) But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto His Voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries,”and now please turn to John 14:24, “He that loveth me “not” keepeth “not” My words: and the Word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.”

BELIEVE  IN ME,  I’M  WITH  THE  HIGH  COMMAND Dear Reader,

As you probably know the word god, or lord, are mere titles. Even Satan is referred to as Lord by his followers, that is why it is important to know which god, the Most High God, Jehovah, or the Second in Command, the Mighty  god, Jesus Christ. With this  in mind, and understanding that many verses would not make sense if you just inserted “Lord”for a name some translators decided to put Jehovah’s  name “everywhere” it should be instead of just the 4 places that the King James Bible actually allowed it to stay.  The American Standard Version of 1901 and 1929 restored the name Jehovah everywhere . And knowing that Satan did not want it in the Bible, at all, it is a blessing to mankind that it made it in there four times! For instance at Isaiah 42:8 this verse cannot make sense when they put Lord there for His name.“I am Jehovah, that is My Name; and My Glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.”The King James Bible has been around since 1611 and Jehovah’s name appears four times, when it should have been in there approximately seven thousand times! Psalms 83:18 Exodus 6:3;Isaiah 12:2;26:4)  At Jeremiah 23:27; Jehovah said this: “that think to cause My people to Forget My Name by their dreams which they tell every neighbor, as their fathers forgot My Name for Baal.”(Satan is the god of all false god images and carved lifeless foreign statues, Baal, included) Jesus said to the man at Mark 10:18;“Why do you call Me good? Nobody is good, except One, God.” and again at Matthew 23:9, Jesus says: “Moreover, do  not call anyone your Father on earth, for One is your Father, the Heavenly One.”Dear Reader, don’t be destroyed for lack of knowledge! (Hosea 4:6) “And this  is Life  Eternal, that they should  know thee  the only True God,(JEHOVAH or YAHWEH if you prefer) and Him whom thou didst Send, even JESUS CHRIST.” John 17:3 (K.J.V.) ( Can you hear me running?” and “Believe in me, I’m with the high command” from a song titled “Silent Running.”These lines speak to me. Jesus is with the High Command. John 14:31)

Dear Reader,

If you want to become a living temple and want to learn more please get in contact with us.  Something that I can tell you right now is that Jehovah and His Son will not dwell in an unclean temple. If you want to clean up your temple so that The Father and His Son can come and dwell with you, then begin to take in lifesaving knowledge now and pray fervently for them to hear your prayers.  The more knowledge you take in the stronger your spirit will become and then when Satan’s world puts the squeeze on you, instead of breaking, You will be strong enough to withstand it. (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) Become a member of The Way, the True Church of God, made up of living stones.  Make copies of this document and any other documents you receive from us.  Share them with your family and friends.  This is Good news we have here.  The Earth is in labor and in the process Satan’s evil world must be overthrown and Jesus’ Kingdom  born.

Jesus said at Matthew 24:36; “But no one knows about that day and hour; neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but Only The Father.” and Matthew 24:37, says: As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son Of Man be;(38) for as in those days before the flood people ate and drank, married and were given in marriage until the day when Noah entered the Ark,(39) and (they) did not understand until the deluge (flood) came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man be.”

The birth of the New Earth will also give birth to a new knowledge, because even the animals  that formerly would have harmed people will have the instinct  that would have caused them to attack us removed, for we read here in relation to the New Earth that is coming Isaiah 65:25, The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent’s food; they shall not hurt nor destroy on any of My holy mountains, says the Lord.”So if the animals have a new knowledge in the New Earth, not to harm humans or each other, we also have been given a New Command by Jesus Christ. At John 13:34;“I give you a New Command, “Love one another.” Just as I have loved You, so You should Love one another. By this every one will recognize that You are My disciples, if You Love one another.” Jesus also said at John 14:29, I have now told You this before it takes place so that when it does happen you may have faith.(30) I shall not talk over many things anymore; for the World’s Ruler comes He has No hold on Me;(31) but I act as I do in order that the World may learn that I LOVE  THE FATHER and Act in Full Agreement with His Orders.
