Can White People Be Saved? Part Three "Salvation for 'True' Believers"
and read the first paragraph of what 
published addressing the question, Can White People Be Saved.
The media and those who misunderstood the message of
reported repeatedly that He taught hate of white people.
To dispel this myth, let us continue to analyze His words written over twenty years ago concerning this matter.
From the pen of
, it is written,
"SALVATION BELONGS TO THOSE WHO 'BELIEVE' INTo better our understanding of this proclamation, we will first define the word believe.
Documented in Chambers 21st Century Dictionary, copyright 1996, on page 120, believe is denoted as "to accept what is said by someone as true." True as referenced in The Synonym Finder, by J.I. Rodale, copyright 1978, on page 1261, is synonymous to "factual and real." From these facts, we can deduce that all people who accept what is said by
--that He received of His Father,
--as factual and real, it is to you that salvation belongs. With this being the case, then let us closely examine
what it means to accept what is being said by that He received of .
Accept (in Chambers 21st Century Dictionary) on page 7 is stated as, "to be willing to listen to and follow (advice, etc)." Listen in the Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, copyright 1999, Computer Software, is defined as "hear"; and to hear is described as "to take the testimony of (someone)." Testimony, usually testimonies, is referred to as "the precepts of God." On the other hand, said, as referenced in The New Oxford American Dictionary, copyright 2001, Software Edition, is "the past and past participle of say"; and say means to "utter words so as to convey an instruction."
We can now surmise from the information written by
in conjunction with the definitions stated,
that all people,
regardless of nationality, who are willing to take the precepts of God, , and make them real in their everyday lives
by following them--according to the instructions conveyed by --to you salvation belongs. So what exactly
did proclaim concerning salvation?
Salvation according to Chambers 21st Century Dictionary, on page 1242 is defined as "a person that saves another from harm." In this same source, on page 1250, save is described as "to deliver from the influence of sin; to act as a saviour"; the Saviour is mentioned on this same page as "a name for Christ." Christ, on page 245, means "the Messiah whose coming is prophesied in the Old Testament." And on page 613, harm is documented as "moral injury."
From these words, we can conclude that over twenty years ago,
proclaimed His existence as
the Messiah whose coming was
prophesied in the Old Testament. Although He came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel first,
He and His message belongs to all people,
regardless of skin color, who are willing to follow His instructions concerning the precepts of God, . To follow the precepts of
is to follow the teachings of , that is, to keep
the commandments, judgments, laws, and statutes of , which will deliver your soul from the influence of sin and moral injury.
For this purpose was the Son of
manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil, which is to entice all men to transgress
the laws of (1 John 3:8). John, Chapter 3, verse 16 reminds us:
"For God,In our next article, we will closely examine the second paragraph of Can White People Be Saved, which was written by
over twenty years ago.
For two specific laws of
, read below
Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets
"... In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord,The Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets is a perpetual statute that
has set aside exclusively for us, Israel, to remember our past.
It serves as a reminder of the blessings we receive when we keep the laws of , as well as the consequences we and our children suffer as a result of not doing so.
On this day,
has commanded us to ... offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord,
. The word offer means "to declare one's readiness or willingness"; offering is
described as "a course of instruction; sacrifice." And fire is a "burning passion"
(as referenced in Merriam-Webster 11th Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 2003,
Computer Software).
Thus, the Lord,
, our God, decreed The Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets
as an annual event for us to remember to keep alive a burning passion to declare our readiness to follow His course of instructions--the commandments, judgments, laws, and statutes--that He prescribed for us, as written in the Holy Bible (KJV). And to also express our willingness to make sincere sacrifices for the sake of doing His "divine" will.
We are sounding the trumpet to proclaim that the Messiah,
, came and made
the ultimate sacrifice to teach us the laws of : that we may learn them, and keep, and do them (Deuteronomy 5:1), that we might be saved.
So let us offer exclusionary praise and much thanks to
for setting aside this "special day" for us to remember and reflect on all of these things as we await the Second Coming of His Son, .
Day of Atonement
"Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord,"...
is the propitiation for our (Judah and Israel's) sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world" (1 John 2:2). Propitiation in Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, Sixth Edition, copyright 2007, Computer Software, means the same as "atonement." And atonement in Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, means "the redeeming of humanity and its reconciliation with God through the suffering and death of []." Redeem, the root of redeeming, is defined as "to release from blame; to free from the consequences of sin; to free what distresses or harms; or to change for the better" (according to Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 1989, on page 986).
so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, , to suffer and to die--not just for the sins of Israel only, but also for the sins of the whole world. If you receive and follow the teachings of , then will release you from being blamed for breaking His laws; and, correspondingly, from even having to suffer the "consequences." Plus, He will also free you from the distresses and harms of this world and, ultimately, change you for the better.
There can be no greater love than this that
lay down His life for us, His friends. In return for this, He only asks that if you love Him, to keep His commandments (John 14:15).
So, on the Day of Atonement--as we fast and afflict our souls (without food and water)--reflect on the great love and boundless mercy of God,
, for us,
and earnestly seek forgiveness for our past trangressions, commit ourselves to exacting
obedience to the laws of , and give sincere praise to for having
made the ultimate and "one-time" atonement that we might have an opportunity to be
reconciled to , and receive eternal life.

How do you overcome the rulers of the darkness of this world? How do you stand against the wiles of the devil? How do you wrestle against spiritual wickedness in high places? How do you withstand the evil day? You must take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the SPIRIT of

CHALLENGE YOUR PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENT
It was only a few years ago that real estate values throughout the country were very high. Today, this is not the case. Therefore, you need to make sure that your local government is not over taxing you based on over inflated property values in your area. If you feel that your property taxes have been unjustly increased based on current property appraisals in your area, then you may appeal to a property-tax assessment review board within your local city or county government. Protesting a Tax Assessment may vary depending upon the state in which you live; but to file a protest, just follow the procedure that accompanies your property tax assessment.
In our next article, we will continue with budgeting tips to help you trim your household budget: auto insurance.
DID YOU KNOW?
1. Did you know that there are over 800 prison camps in the United States, fully operational, staffed, and surrounded by full-time guards and ready to receive prisoners, but they are all empty?
2. Did you know that these camps are to be operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as "concentration camps" or "Centers for Public Safety" should Martial Law need to be implemented?
3. Did you know that to activate these camps all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general's signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached?
"I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came,..." (Daniel 7:21-22).The Ten Plagues of Egypt, Part 22
In continuing with part 22 of our segment on "The Ten Plagues of Egypt," Exodus, Chapter 9, verse 20, affirms that:
He that feared the word of the Lord,
, among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
According to the Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, copyright 1960, on page 1331, a servant, the singular of servants, means the same as "a public servant." On the authority of the universally accepted Merriam Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition, copyright 1999, on page 944, a public servant is actually "a government official"; and the Bartlett's Roget's Thesaurus, copyright 1996, on page 1156, furnishes documentary evidence to prove that the word official (reference number 52.7) is indicative of vice president, cabinet member, senator, congressman, and the like.
In addition, the word servant from yet another perspective is considered to be "a helper or supporter" (as referenced in the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software). In the same identical source, a helper is a "farmer"; and in The New Oxford American Dictionary, copyright 2000, Computer Software, a supporter is characterized as "a financier." While a financier is an "investor"; to invest, from the word investor, means "to sink money into or buy stocks in" (as documented in the aforementioned Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus).
Therefore, all of these definitions fully set forth the conclusion that the vice president and some among the cabinet members, senators, congressmen, and the like, who fear the word of
and His command to let the children of Israel go shall
have extreme feelings of apprehension as a result of the imminent danger they see
bringing upon America. And because of this, they shall make known to farmers
and those who have sunk money into farming or have bought agricultural stocks to flee
into the houses.
And not only that, but they will also make known to their associates or constituents to cause their cattle--previously defined as farm animals such as sheep, cattle, pigs kept for the production of meat, milk, wool, etc. or for breeding purposes--to flee into the houses.
This act will show that they have finally come to realize the seriousness of the command of
to let the children of Israel go.
With that, be on watch for our next article, as we shall continue with "... flee into the houses."
Why Should I Not Become A Whisperer?
Thus saith the Lord,
, Learn not the way of the heathen, ... (Jeremiah 10:2).
This book, Beware of Whisperers, shines the brightest light on those who seek to slide in and overtake those who posses a weak mind. However, if you take a step back and let it shine on yourself for a minute (like I did), you will actually see and hear the words of
talking to you, and telling you about yourself.
For example: Chapter 7 entitled, "Whisperers Come in Many Disguises,"
me that when I meddle in other people affairs, I am guilty of being "Mr. Nosy"
and "Mr. Busybody."
