If you are in the process of re-examining old childhood beliefs and have realized there has to be a “more excellent way”, this book is for you. With this in mind, I invite you to “Take Another Look” at some of the most important tenants of fundamental Judeo-Christian dogma. We will explore these basic ideas from the cultural context in which they were experienced and written, as well as the influences of the translators. This will take us from a fear-based message to the Gospel, or good news, with a love-based premise.

In this day, there are several versions of the Bible. I suggest choosing the version which best suits your understanding of language. II Timothy 2:15 says: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The study presented in this book is based on the “Thompson Chain-Reference Bible”, “Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible”, the guidance of the inner teacher - the Holy Spirit, and spiritual common sense. The result has challenged much of the second-handed information that has been passed down through Christian patriarchy. This scripture also mentions, “rightly dividing the word of truth”. To do this, we need to discern which scriptures are inspired by God and which scriptures contain man's perceptions and hidden political and cultural agenda's.

I ask that you listen to your own inner Christ intelligence which is able to lead you into all truth, rather than listening to the feeble attempts of men's voices on the paths that seem right, who are only plunging us into the depths of unanswered questions, ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

From the book:

A Scriptural Review of Law and Grace

We will never move on to understand our perfection (wholeness) until we establish ourselves in the principles of the true teachings of the universal Christ. We have invested a great deal of time laying our foundation on the shifting sands of second-handed, passed-down information, rather than on the solid rock of our ability to show ourselves approved. Due to a perception of a separate God, we have focused on what we can get from God, rather than on what we can give to God. We have not considered His heart and His desires. We have forgotten that relationship is a two-way street where God is concerned.

"Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto your name give glory…” Psalms 115:1

Present truth is experienced when the inherent Word enters our consciousness from Spirit, tuning the soul (mind) to the same vibration of Spirit, making them one. From this union, the body follows. The word that brings this revelation is not just another revelation about God, but is a word that reveals the heart of God. The heart of God is saying, "I thirst and hunger for a people to be my body. I desire an availability to express my love, mercy and grace to humanity at an earth level."

God's desire is to speak to us face to face. Yet, we have used the law and letter of the word in such a way that we have drifted away from God. He does not need the word to be condensed or watered down by religious interpretations. The law is not the heart of God. The spoken and written words of the law were intended to bring humanity to know its need for God. The realm of prophecy, gifts, miracles and healing is seeing where God has been, but it is not seeing God in the present. Let's go a step further. The so-called five-fold ministry has been given for perfection, but we, as a spiritual creation, are already perfect as our Creator is perfect! Certainly, there is a need for ministry and gatherings, but their purpose is only to remind each of us how to know God in ourselves.

We have settled for “a” blessing long enough. “A” blessing includes the temporal gifts such as prophecy and physical healing. “THE” blessing is eternal and life evermore. (Ps. 133) The fact that we are born into this earth gives us the God-given right to life. You do not have to earn immortality; it is your identity. A ministry which teaches that healing and deliverance can only come through the ministry of another man, short-changes its people. God is ready to reveal Himself in His sons to deliver creation from the limitations imposed by the law. God's will is for life and immortality to be brought to manifestation! He is ready to reveal the Word in its purest essence. We will begin to experience true manifestation as people tune into their oneness with God.

"Come now and let us reason together saith the Lord. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient ye shall eat the good of the land." Isaiah 1:18-19

This scripture does not refer to people just getting together to reason out their problems. But rather, it is a call from God to man to communicate His heart. All that is required from us is our willingness to leave our doctrines of law and legalism as interpreted by human perception. Are you willing to meet God at the reasoning table of the heart? God doesn't want His Word being twisted and used to build great organizations that use "thus saith God" to hold people captive to its hidden agendas. God is ready to direct your thinking toward ways that will resonate deep inner truths. It is time to drop our pretenses and stop being religious with God. It is time to communicate with God face to face.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. (II Timothy 3:16 KJV)

The Greek lexicon shows us that translators omitted a comma after the word scripture and added the word is in the King James Version. Therefore, the scripture should read, in its proper context, “All scripture, given by inspiration of God and profitable for doctrine….” It is important to note that italicized words indicate that the translators or KJV have added them.

I realize that this book may not be for everyone at this time. However, it is necessary to challenge the sensibilities of man-made traditions, which have made the word of present truth of no effect to this generation.
