Raw Milk – Freedom to Choose!

How is it that people can smoke themselves to death or drink their lives into oblivion, and the government makes some lame gestures at trying to say it’s bad for your health? But you dare mention “raw milk” and you have the health police on your door step and all your activities monitored!

Raw milk is a health food in its natural state - no additives, preservatives, GMOs, or other harmful ingredients – just real food that’s good for you.

Michael Schmidt in Ontario, Canada is on a hunger strike until he gets a meeting with Dalton McGuinty, the premier of Ontario, to discuss changes to the sale of raw milk, making it legal for those who choose to buy it.

This debate is about the right to make choices. In an interview, Michael Schmidt made an interesting observation, “It’s really more about the right to informed choice, so it’s largely a political issue. I'm not trying to convince everyone else to drink raw milk. I just think that people who want to should have that right. You don't see the government banning the sale of sliced meat, even though 22 people died during the lysteria outbreak. The hypocrisy is staggering.” (Source: http://www.thegridto.com/city/people/michael-schmidt-raw-milk-activist/)

The issue before us is our freedom to choose wholesome food. Do whatever you are able and feel free to do in support of a courageous man with a just cause, and pass along this information to everyone you know!

The Ways of the Accuser

We received an anonymous note:

I pray the Lord Jesus will forgive your blasphemy, twisting the word of God-Bible and propagation of demonic messages. Amen.

Victor's reply:

Hi Emmanuel,

My, but you certainly could be more specific about how we are in error, couldn’t you? We could learn and receive so much correction from you, if you would only tell us how we are wrong and back it up with Scripture.

It seems that if what we teach is blasphemy and demonic to you, then what you believe would be blasphemy and demonic to us. Could that be?

Let’s see… let me run by you a sample of our key doctrines and you tell us which of them are as evil as you declare:

• The Bible, including both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God in the original languages. It is a testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ and His dealings with His chosen people and the rest of the world.
  


• Jesus Christ/Yeshua HaMashiach is Lord of lords and King of kings, Creator of all things. Jesus Christ is God Almighty.
  


• All men need saving from sin, death, hell, this world, darkness, Satan, and themselves.
  


• No man can save himself, every man being totally unregenerate and lost.
  


• Only Jesus Christ, God Almighty, can save man. There is no other name under Heaven whereby we can be saved.
  


• In Jesus Christ is life, and His life is the light of men. By Him, all things consist.
  


• Jesus Christ came to earth bodily nearly 2,000 years ago, born of a virgin and of the Holy Spirit; He humbled Himself to the level of man, lived a sinless life, which only He could live, laid down His life, and paid for the sins of all mankind, once for all.
  


• Jesus Christ was raised from the dead after three days and has given His Spirit to those who believe on Him.
  


• We are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, confessing Him as Lord and believing He died for us and was raised bodily from the dead.
  


• God calls on all men to repent of their sins, those being the breaking of His Commandments, summarized in the Decalogue.
  


• None of the Law of God has been done away with. Jesus Christ came to fulfill the Law, and saints are assigned the high privilege of establishing the Law.
  


• God gives the Holy Spirit to them that obey Him.
  


• Those who have His Spirit are called and chosen to be witnesses unto Him. These are born again; they are saints; they are His sons and daughters, destined to be as Him when His work is completed in them.
  


• By His cross, He has reconciled all things unto Himself, whether things in Heaven or in earth or under the earth. In the fullness of time, we will see the glorious fruits.
  


• As His obedient servants, we are all unprofitable. When we obey Him, we are only doing that which is our duty. That is the true faith.
  


• To Jesus belong all glory, power, praise, thanksgiving, honor, and worship.

So, Emmanuel, which of these doctrines do you think God should forgive us for? Which do you consider to be “twisting the word of God-Bible”? Which of these is a “propagation of demonic messages”? Tell us.

Is your name really “Emmanuel”?

Our anonymous accuser, it turns out, hides behind a phony email address. The email bounced back:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at gateway02.websitewelcome.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<emman@gmail.com>:
74.125.45.27 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist.

Why so scared to come out in the open and face us honestly, if one is praying for our welfare? Why so unwilling to give us the proof of their charges, or to hear our response? What does this say about their credibility and motives? Are not the answers obvious? So we share this scenario with you, for those who would like to say the same things to us, and to those who would like to hear our answer to our accuser.

Unlearned Saying & Objection - “God alone knows the heart.”

We respond to a correspondent:

Hi Helene, Victor here.

There is a common falsehood (among so many others) propagated in nominal Christendom. It goes like this:

“We mustn’t ever judge anyone. God alone knows the heart and mind.”

You repeat the mantra several times: “BUT only God knows their heart.”

We can provide you with links on judgment to deal with the false notion that only God knows the heart and therefore we ought not to judge anyone. To be sure, there’s some truth in those words, which makes the matter confusing for many, because they don’t have understanding.

Consider that Jesus spoke positively of judging others, when He said:

“Hypocrite! First cast the beam out of your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to cast the splinter out of your brother's eye” (Matthew 7:5 MKJV).

And: “Do not judge according to sight, but judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24 MKJV).

Is it true that only God knows the heart? Where do you ever find that in the Scriptures? It isn’t there, but the opposite IS:

“But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged by no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:15-16 MKJV).

Jesus had the Father’s mind. He said they were one. He prayed that we would be one with Him as He was one with the Father (John 17). Accordingly, He gave His Spirit to His disciples, and still does today, so that they and we might have His mind and be one with Him. John says to the saints, “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things” (1 John 2:20 MKJV).

So, I show you that those truly in Christ, with His mind, do know others’ hearts, and judge righteous judgment, with Him.

But, Helene, aren’t you also making judgments on hearts when you say, “The rest of them I turn off cause I believe that they are a bad witness”? I don’t fault you for that. It’s true, and we are given to know truth and error, otherwise we are vulnerable to evil and as good as lost. Now, isn’t that knowing the heart?

You write, “They believe in their heart of hearts that they have the truth.” There you go again! If only God knows the heart, how can you say what you just said?

How have you judged those people to be bad witnesses, if not at least partially by the fruit of their lips? At least I hope that your judgment is not just by appearance, which Jesus condemned.

Now the record is that the mouth speaks from the heart:

“Offspring of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings out good things; and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings out evil things” (Matthew 12:34-35 MKJV).

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he; Eat and drink, he says to you, but his heart is not with you” (Proverbs 23:7 MKJV).

The Bible, in all its instruction, tells us to know the heart, time and time again:

Matthew 7:15-18 MKJV
(15) Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
(16) You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
(17) Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
(18) A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Would you like to know who prefers to believe the lie that only God knows the heart? It is those who are afraid of discipline and refuse to be criticized or corrected. And why is that? Because they prefer their sins.

John 3:19-21 MKJV
(19) And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.
(20) For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
(21) But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.

If we are to represent the Lord in this world, we will be as Him:

“In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that as He is, so also we are in this world” (1 John 4:17 MKJV).

In the day of judgment? Where does our judgment begin? “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” (1 Peter 4:17 KJV)

Helene, I can know the nature of the well by the bucket of water I draw from it. That is God’s calling and will for His saints.

Duplicate Scriptures

We're compiling a list of duplicate Scriptures to be used in one of our postings, and also to make available on the internet as a resource. Here, in a Word document, is our list, as we have it so far: Duplicate Scriptures. If you know of, or find, any others, please e-mail the references to me at sara@thepathoftruth.com. I'll update the list as I have more Scriptures to add. We appreciate any input.

A Creature of Darkness

We got this letter from an anonymous, non-working email address:

Subject: evolution.
From: joe <anon@e-mail.com>
To: ask@thepathoftruth.com
Date: 4/18/2011 10:35 PM

jesus didn't comment on the creation myth in genesis.

you people are bat-shit crazy aren't you?

Our reply, for the sake of the reader:

The question that must be asked of this devil is, “What use do you have for Jesus Christ, using Him as a source of authority for your arguments, when you have no use for what He says or Who He is?”

But Jesus says anonymous “Joe” is wrong, because He often cited the Scriptures as the authoritative truth and final word on any matter, and never as “myth.” Who would know better than the Author of Scripture and our Creator, the Truth incarnate and Lord of all?

But the insecure soul who thinks to mock the Lord Jesus Christ, using Him to justify a personal agenda, always runs smack dab into a stone wall. Though “Joe” tries to avoid the collision, using a fake email address that bars him from hearing the answer to his foolishness, his insecurity has already condemned him.

“Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom did not know God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe” (1 Corinthians 1:20-21 MKJV).

What we have here is a creature of darkness, as depicted in I Am Legend, which will rip you to shreds in the dark and doesn’t dare to venture into the light, because light is death to the fool.
