salvation ~ who's in - who's out

[Shmanu YAH]

shalom aly'chem - peace to all. first and foremost >>> "ALL praises, honor and glory to the Most High YHWH alone" - our King everlasting and from where all true wisdom and knowledge comes. Then we must all profess: baruk h'shem YHWH meaning "blessed is the name YHWH" and also baruka h'bo b'shem YHWH meaning "blessed is YOUR coming in the name of YHWH" @ Yahushua.

                                    I pray all is well or will be soon, todah YHWH

In this brief message I feel it's necessary to deal with another matter / topic of scripture I constantly hear mistaught these days, the topic of: WHO is eligible to enter into the Kingdom. There is so much confusion generated by the so-called biblical scholars - I actually think some of these clowns can almost make Yahushua puke even from his seat in the throne room!

wisdom: There is a major divide between saints and sinners and sinners will in no wise enter into YHWH's Kingdom, we can all agree on that, >>> but pointing out other's peoples sins DON'T make YOU a saint!, .....NUFF SAID!

As always we should ask that the Most High add a blessing to the reading of his word.

I am so "put off" by having to do the saints and their so-called "teachers" homework for them again and it's sad that I have to in the first place due to irresponsible teachings, but I will again because many of us are too lazy to cleanse ourselves inside-out and read and study the whole word of truth.

So I'm only going to give just ONE example: The Samaritians.

It is massively taught that our mashiach told his disciples to only go to the Israelites, and yes he did! So we should understand the main stronghold and teaching on this topic comes from what's recorded in Matthew 10:5-6,

These twelve Yahushua sent forth, and commanded them saying, "Go NOT into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye NOT - 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel".
.....~ so this in itself shows why many have declared why only the Israelites are eligible for salvation - and he specifically forbade them to go to Samaria, but obviously and unfortunately the so-called "learned" fail to understand: Yahushua was speaking to them for THAT appointed time, NOT FOREVER!

Let's review what's recorded in John chapter 4 to get correctly edified and begin to humiliate the current taught garbage, we read:

4:3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 4:4 And he must needs go through Samaria. 4:5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Yahushua therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
note: this was noontime when the water wasn't as cool

4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Yahushua saith unto her, "Give me to drink". 4:8 ( For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

note: This sinful woman of shameful renown went to the well at a time when most women didn't, as not to be mocked! and Yahushua was waiting.

4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him: How is it that thou, being a Yehudah, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? - for the Yehudym have no dealings with the Samaritans.

4:10 Yahushua answered and said unto her, "If thou knewest the gift of Elohim, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water".
4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

note: 1st she said the Samaritans father was Jacob, WRONG! ...then also we need to realize Yahushua never did any miracle to serve himself, not even making himself a cup of water or even a cup for the water!

4:13 Yahushua answered and said unto her, "Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life". 4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
4:16 Yahushua saith unto her, "Go, call thy husband, and come hither".

4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Yahushua said unto her, "Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 4:18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly".

note: in today's society we have a name for women like that... a lot of BAD names, but what BAD name did Yahushua call her? >>> none!

4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

4:21 Yahushua saith unto her, "Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father".

note: Yahushua made it plain - there is NO salvation by location!

4:22 "Ye worship ye know not what, we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Yehudym".

note: Yahushua made it plain the them Samaritans or any other nation can't usher in salvation to anybody!

4:23 "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 4:24 Elohim is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth".

4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that the Messiah cometh, when he is come, he will tell us all things.

note: even these people were at least looking for the arrival of Messiah

4:26 Yahushua saith unto her, "I that speak unto thee am he".

note: Yahushua directly told this gentile woman what he didn't directly tell to many true Israelites, - remember he even asked his own disciples at one time "who do YOU say that I am?"

4:27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
note: His disciples even saw she was a heathen Samaritan, but notice THEY didn't challenge him like many of the mouthy would today, .....selah

4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Messiah? 4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
4:31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

4:32 But he said unto them, "I have meat to eat that ye know not of".

note: He made it plain that they don't yet understand the Kingdom of Elohym is not meat and drink, >>> but RIGHTEOUSNESS (Romans 14:17).

4:33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 4:34 Yahushua saith unto them, "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work".
note: to do the work and finish the work of Elohym is to seek out and gather ALL believers, >>> period! ( even these non-Israelite Gentiles ).

4:35 "Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest".

note: He showed it was time for his disciples to reap some GENTILES

4:36 "And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together".
note again: sowing and reaping ALL believers.

4:37 "And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
4:38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours".

4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
4:40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there TWO DAYS.

wisdom: for you that can receive it, pertaining to his return, a day with the master is as a thousand years, so those two days Yahushua spent with the Gentiles is metaphorical for the two thousand years we are in now since that declaration by h'mashiach -> to graft in ALL that will choose to believe, .....selah

4:41 And many more believed because of his own word;

4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Messiah, the Saviour of the world. 4:43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
4:44 For Yahushua himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

note: He was FIRST focused on his own people, but his own received him not ( John 1:11 ) so he was sent elsewhere .....and that can't be argued!

Yahushua was dealing with a Samaritan woman that was probably saturated with "physical" whoredoms, but this is nothing compared to his own people that were constantly saturated with "spiritual" whoredoms, ...now which is worse?

NOW LET'S FIND OUT WHO THE SAMARITANS ACTUALLY WERE IN THE TIME OF YAHUSHUA SO WE CAN SEE IF HE TARRIED WITH ISRAELITES OR GENTILE HEATHENS. (again, this is where true scholarship enters in)

In 2nd Kings chapter 17 we should have read and learned:

17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

17:2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.

17:3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.

17:4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

17:5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

17:6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

17:7 For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against YHWH their Elohim, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharoah king of Egypt, and had feared other elohim,

17:8 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom YHWH cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

17:9 And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against YHWH their Elohim, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

17:10 And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:

17:11 And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom YHWH carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke YHWH to anger:

17:12 For they served idols, whereof YHWH had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
note: BAD CAREER MOVE !!!

17:13 Yet YHWH testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

note: I guess proverbs 23:9 wasn't for the Israeltes

17:14 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in YHWH their Elohim.

17:15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom YHWH had charged them, that they should not do like them.

17:16 And they left all the commandments of YHWH their Elohim, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

note: These Israelites had NO good reasons to behave like the heathens

17:17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of YHWH, to provoke him to anger.

17:18 Therefore YHWH was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

note: here comes the eviction notice!

17:19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of YHWH their Elohim, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

17:20 And YHWH rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

note: eviction in process....

17:21 For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following YHWH, and made them sin a great sin.

17:22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

17:23 Until YHWH removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.

note: EVICTION ACCOMPLISHED!

17:24 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. ....~ NOW we see who was in the cities of Samaria for many decades later even until the time of Yahushua, HEATHEN Babylonians!, HEATHEN Cuthahnites!, HEATHEN Avites!, HEATHEN Hamathites!, and HEATHEN Sepharvites! >>> but NO Israelites!

17:25 And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not YHWH: therefore YHWH sent lions among them, which slew some of them.

note: these heathens also didn't respect YHWH or his land.

17:26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the Elohim of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the Elohim of the land.

note: they were more ignorant than they were rebellious, but it cost them!

17:27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the Elohim of the land.

17:28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear YHWH.

note: just one Levite was drug back to Samaria to teach.

17:29 Howbeit every nation made elohim of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.

17:30 And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

17:31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the elohim of Sepharvaim.

note: Heathens will be Heathens!

17:32 So they feared YHWH, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
note: these fools got scared and created their own priesthood from "bums" to try to protect them from the true and living Elohym, ....pure foolishness!

17:33 They feared YHWH, and served their own elohim, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

note: they got scared enough of YHWH to try to get protection from their "gods".

17:34 Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not YHWH, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which YHWH commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

17:35 With whom YHWH had made a covenant, and charged them saying, Ye shall not fear other elohim, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them

note: Them Heathens from the cities of Samaria never ever did follow torah like the children of Israel once did.

17:36 But YHWH, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.

17:37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall NOT fear other elohim.

17:38 And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other elohim.

17:39 But YHWH your Elohim ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

17:40 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.

17:41 So these nations feared YHWH, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
again: from generation to generation, >>> Heathens will be Heathens!

So we see the woman Yahushua sat and waited for at the well came from a long line of heathen pagan worshippers, her and her people were NEVER Israelites. He sat there and waited for her like he's sitting at the right hand of the Father right now waiting for others that are NOT Israelites, .....selah

question: Did Yahushua give her and them a chance for salvation? ( re-read Revelation 22:14 & 19 )

Also for more clarification on just this one example we read in Luke 9,

9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

9:52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the >>> Samaritans, to make ready for him.

9:53 And THEY DID NOT receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

note: the Samaritans were mad because they wanted him to stay with them, thus they got caught up in their feelings.

9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Rabbi, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as EliYah did?
9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them". And they went to another village. .....~ Yahushua made it plain that these non-Israelites were considered men worthy of salvation, and he did it with rigor! He stated that was his whole purpose whether we agree with his directives or not. >>> translation: FALL BACK !

conclusion: If Yahushua himself went to some NON-ISRAELITE Heathens to save them, and said that was the work for him to do according to his and our heavenly Father, >>> WHAT RIGHT DO WE HAVE TO QUESTION THAT?

We must stop being lazy and listening to those that claim they deeply study scripture but really don't understand much at all, But WE should always be dedicated enough to continue the thought process for correct context. Continuing to Luke chapter 10:30-37 we read,

10:30 And Yahushua answering said, "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

10:31 And by chance there came down a certain PRIEST that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
note: Yahushua's point was Priest don't really care

10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
note: Levites were the lineage of Moses and Aaron that were supposed to be the represenatives of the Israelite tribes.

10:33 But a certain SAMARITAN, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, >>> he had compassion on him,

10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee".

note: A Gentile "Heathen" Samaritan was more of a loving humanitarian than the bloodline Israelites and Yahushua was the one making this point, .....selah

10:36 "Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?"

10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Yahushua unto him, "Go, and do thou likewise". .....~ Maybe many missed the point intended, but Yahushua used a Gentile as a example to this lawyer of torah that tried to test him, He showed certain Gentiles lacking true torah understanding are more worthy than many torah claiming Israelites!

To further show how certain Samaritan heathens were eligible for salvation we need to revisit whats recorded in Acts,

1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, "ye have heard of me.
1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Set-apart Spirit not many days hence".
1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Rabbi, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
1:7 And he said unto them, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Set-apart Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in >>> Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth".

note: Samaria was still full of the descendants of Babylonians, Cuthahnites, Avites, Hamathites, and Sepharvites, (2nd Kings 17:41) yet and still some of them were counted worthy to be witnessed to, and they weren't Israelites!

Also we saw in Acts chapter 8:14-25,

8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of YHWH, they sent unto them Kepha and John:

8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Set-apart Spirit:
8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Master Yahushua.)
8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Set-apart Spirit.
8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Set-apart Spirit was given, he offered them money,
8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Set-apart Spirit.
8:20 But Kepha said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of YHWH may be purchased with money.
8:21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of YHWH.
8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray Elohim, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
8:23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
8:24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Saviour for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

8:25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of YHWH, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. .....~ again these people got opportunity for the word of YHWH.

HOW DID THEM WANNA-BE SCHOLARS MISS ALL THIS???

understand: this type exposure and correction is what it means when you hear someone say: "your teacher needs a teacher" .....NUFF SAID!

We have those that claim they have understanding of who's eligible to get into the Kingdom and who's not, but when we ourselves study we can find out more often than not they are -> self-anointed / self-appointed teachers.

unfortunately again we have to apply Hebrews 5:12, "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of YHWH; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat". ....nuff said!

I myself am in NO position to decide in part or the fullness of who gets into the Kingdom and who doesn't, so I don't - but I can assure you that those that try to sit in YHWH's judgement seat on the sly, >>> WILL NOT get in!
(They need to go read Romans 2:1-3)

learn: some still ask their teachers if you can "loose your salvation" because they were taught by some leaders "once saved always saved" ...BUT if these know-it-all teachers had any real understanding they would point to torah. YHWH delivered many souls out of Egypt to save them, but when they got out every time they started acting up >>> He DESTROYED them didn't he? ( how's that for a loss? )

GO BACK AND READ THIS SHORT WRITING AGAIN SLOWLY AND YOU WILL FINALLY SEE WHY I DON'T DEBATE PEOPLE ABOUT SCRIPTURE, >>> THEY JUST AIN'T QUALIFIED! ( just lazy sound biters and one-liners ).

This: "who is eligible", is just ONE example of several but I had to address it because unfortunately many still don't want to do their own homework!

selah and shalom

[Linda Scott]

YES INDEED, INDEED!!!

SO TRUE -  ANOTHER STATEMENT FROM YAHUSHUA ON THIS MESSAGE IS  ROMANS 10:19,  OF WHICH I HAVE TO ADMIT I'M GUILTY OF  "SOMETIMES"  ( PROOF, HIS WORD WILL NOT RETURN  VOID ),

  HAL LE LU YAH!!!
