Welcome
to a renewed call on all German speaking people to beware.
Thesis: Don’t be any longer deceived!
Today, we live in a world in which only a few people still hold to or
believe in absolute Truth. The new philosophy over tolerance proclaims
every idea anyone has as truth for him or her. This also has come to be
believed when it comes to the faith, the Truth of the Word of God. In a
situation like this, it is very easy for a person, especially for young people, to
follow a way that misleads or deceives them.
Adam and Eve, the very first two human beings, lived with God in the
Garden of Eden, in Paradise. He had given them every fruit to eat but one,
the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We read: “And the
Lord God commanded the man, “you are free to eat from any tree in the
garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
for when you eat of it you will surely die.” (Gen. 2:16,17)
Adam and Eve, in their discussion with the serpent, Satan, admitted
that they had understood God’s command about a certain tree. But when
they began, under the influence of Satan, to doubt the command and will of
God, they opened themselves up to the deception of the evil One. He didn’t
force them to do it. They decided that for themselves, especially Eve.
(Please read Gen. 3:1-6) So it is with every person today who doubts God’s
commands and instructions. This has happened to the Catholic, the Lutheran
and other denominations when their leadership doubted the Word of God and
followed the deceptions of Satan. Satan made them feel good and proud just
like he did Eve. (Gen. 3:6) Today he has those denominations so strongly
under his dominion, it will be very hard for any of you, dear Reader, to escape
his power. But it can be done completely with the help of Jesus and your
faith in Him. For that reason it is most important that you inform yourself
over the beginning and foundation of the Lord’s Church.. Don’t be any
longer deceived by them! Be free in Christ! (See Lessons # 27 and # 29)
People are often able and willing to help Satan’s deception!
My father wrote from a French prisoner of war camp. He had been
placed there after his capture in 1945.
Hyeres, 18. 11. 1945
Dear most beloved mother! (His wife, my mother) My much, much
loved children!
At the end of the terrible happenings of the past years, I am in a French
prisoner of war camp. From all that I have experienced I can see clearly now,
that our nation had become a victim of unscrupulous and mad leadership.
My mother Luise, who kept a diary on the empty pages in the back of
our family Bible wrote:
Bretten, 1944
On July of this year cowardly murderous hands tried to kill our beloved
Führer (leader) Adolf Hitler. However they did not succeed, because God
was with him or he wouldn’t be here anymore now.
In 1945 she put lines through that statement and wrote: All were lies
and deceptions. It’s hard to believe, that the men, who wanted to be our lea-
ders had sunk so deep and didn’t have a spark of conscience left in them. Our
poor nation has to suffer for it now because it believed to be told the truth.
When all of us, dear German speaking readers, at the end of our lives,
stand before the Judgment seat of Christ, it will be to late to find out if the
churches, we were joined to in infancy, were churches whose faith was accor-
ding to the will of God or not. It will then be to late to flee the wrath of God
or eternal life in Hell.
Therefore: “ Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts..”
You are hearing His voice now and every time when you read your
Bible. Every time you read it, ask God to show and lead you into more Truth.
Ask Jesus to open your eyes to His Truth. If you are really honest about it
God will know that and will do it.
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask
anything according to his will, he hears us.” (1. Jn. 5:14)
Remember God wants all men and women “to be saved and come to
the knowledge of the truth.” (1.Tim. 2: 1-7) This is the Good News or the
Gospel of Jesus’ suffering for you.
We would be delighted to hear from you, and if you desire, to receive
more help in finding your way out of these, from Satan deceived, so called
churches, write us or send an e-mail. Our address is in Lesson # 1.
Jesus has helped us and He is today more than willing to help and save
you too!
