The Answers
Are we misrepresenting biblical verse?
Many years and great care have been taken to insure correct presentation of
biblical verses in this work. If you have found any misrepresentations of
biblical text or improper renderings of biblical translations on this site, we
will correct them. We sincerely want to know if we have made a mistake and will
welcome the information. We have changed errors in the past when mistakes have
been brought to our attention.
The scriptures say "heaven", why do you say sky?
Contrary to popular belief the word heaven is English and was never used by any
of the biblical authors. King James did not have those authors dictate directly
to the translators. Insight into how and when this word is used is the key to
understanding the true nature of the God of the Bible. For a thorough
explanation of this go to Part 2
of the Introduction and scroll down to HEAVEN
IS THE SKY.
What's wrong with
the King's English.
The language used in the
Bible, the Court English, is a serious problem when trying to determine the true
meaning of the original authors words. From our research we have found King
James to be anything but a divinely inspired servant of God. We believe that
this form of English was used not to enlighten the people, but to shroud the
true meanings in the haze of a rare and exclusive tongue. For a more thorough
explanation of this go HERE
and scroll down to KING JAMES, Inspired by God or Greed?
What makes you think your interpretation is correct?
We have checked every
key word for true meaning in the original language and carefully considered
context. Links to many biblical resources are on the site for checking
definition and we check all sites and email challenging our views for any
scripture that may prove us in error. You will find links to those sites that
oppose our presentation on this site. It is an organizational principle that if
we are proved wrong we will change our beliefs and our presentation. If you can
present scriptural evidence that proves us wrong, we will change our beliefs.
We do not fear the truth, but we will not accept religious commentary without
scriptural backing. And, we do not believe God inspired King James. If the
Christian church believes he was inspired, why don’t they include the Apocryphal
books, which he did? We firmly believe the bulk of mainstream doctrine is based
on tradition, not scripture. And, we also believe the fear of UFOs
expressed by
the church is without biblical basis and a complete contradiction of
scriptural reality. Bible reference links are

How
can you claim multiple Gods in Bible?
The concept of multiple
gods is taken from only one word, Elohiym. This is the word used in the first
verse of Genesis, is the word almost exclusively used where you see the word God
in the Old Testament and it is plural. The “hiym” when found at the end of any
Hebrew word makes that word plural. The Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance is the
most respective work of its kind renders this word thusly: Strong's Ref. # 430
'elohiym, pronounced el-o-heem', plural of 433; gods in the ordinary sense; but
specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the
supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and
sometimes as a superlative: The singular word for God does not appear until the
22nd chapter of Deuteronomy: Strong's Ref. # 433 'elowahh, pronounced el-o'-ah;
rarely (shortened) 'eloahh {el-o'-ah}; a deity or the Deity: As you see there
is a singular word for God, but it is seldom used. The other word used that you
thought was Jehovah is Yhovah: Strong's Ref. # 3068, Yhovah, pronounced
yeh-ho-vaw', (the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of
God: This is the God, the individual being that was the God the prophets dealt
directly with. This God became Jesus and said that he was not the supreme God,
but a child of that God. You know him as the Father. He is the Supreme God.
Yhovah just created the Earth, the Father, Pater, created Yhovah. There is
absolute evidence for at least two gods and clear indications in the Bible that
Yhovah is not an only child.
Why
are clouds in Bible not just clouds?
Clouds do not ascend,
descend, hover for months, take people into them and allow them to leave, spin,
glow, take off at high speeds or destroy entire armies with a single shot.
These are not clouds.
Why
do you claim Jesus had short hair?
The depiction of of Jesus
with long hair and a beard is contrary to the social reality of the time and a
contradiction of biblical principle in the book. There is no evidence that
Jesus took any vows to any secular order as some assert. It is a matter of
historical reality that the depictions of Jesus changed after the discovery of
the Shroud of Turin. Prior to it's public presentation, all pictures and
sculptures of Jesus are of an individual with short hair and no beard. It is
our belief that the orthodox portrayal is no more than a clever and demeaning
deception.
What was Ezekiel's wheel?
Ezekiel was visited by a
heavenly body (an angel) in a craft he describes as making a whirring noise and
propelled by what he describes as a wheel within a wheel. A careful study of the
1st and 10th Chapters of Ezekiel will show that the craft itself was not shaped
like a wheel in a wheel, but some devices attached to the main body are, which is
also described separately.
See Eze. 1:26.
10:1. We personally believe that this
was Yhovah, a being called Elohiym that was in charge of this vehicle and
communicating with Ezekiel.

Why
do you reject the Trinity?
The concept of a trinity
is traditional, but not biblical. A quick study of this concept will reveal that
the Trinity is, in fact, a tradition that simply gained acceptance in the early
history of the orthodox church. It is not a biblically supported doctrine. It
is the concept of men, not of God. The Holy Spirit / Ghost seems to be a force
rather than an entity and is covered more in depth

Are
there Lost Books?
Yes, there are at least
600 books that contained biblical accounts of which 73 survived to be translated
by King James. The Catholic Church, starting from the 4th century AD, removed
the rest as heresies. The names of at least 130 are known and some of these
have survived and are available in print. The most extensive collection is in
The Lost Books of the Bible and Forgotten Books of Eden by Rutherford Hayes
Platt and J. Alden Brett. The writings of Enoch and Barnabas are also available
and very interesting. The Mormon Church has done extensive research into the
lost books and this research is available, though one should remember this, of
course, is a church sponsored project. Of course, all books relating to
"Bible
subjects” were and are under the control of the Catholic Church. There are
thousands of peripheral books and documents, but most are dogmatic in content.

Why
are you criticizing the Bible?
You will find no
criticism of the Bible in this work. We are not criticizing the Bible, but the
king that interpreted it and the churches that use the Bible as a weapon.
Why claim the Burning Bush was a UFO?
4000 years ago a UFO on the ground could very easily have appeared to
be a burning bramble, the proper meaning of the word. How else would someone in
that age describe a large artificially glowing object on the ground? In other
places the phrase fire infolding itself is used to describe this phenomenon.
Ezekiel did not see a cloud or a bush, but it was Yhovah and this is his
description:
Ezekiel 1: 4. And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of
the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was
about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst
of the fire. The word amber properly translated means polished bronze. This was
not a burning bush that Moses saw, but it was his way of describing it.
Why
do you claim Jesus was Yhovah?
Scripture says this, not
us:
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. 2
The same was in the beginning with God.
3
All things
were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In
him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in
darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6
There was a man sent from
God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of
the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light,
but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which
lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10
He was in the world, and the
world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own,
and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he
power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of
man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth. 15
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he
of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was
before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the
bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. This is covered
