God is good and wishes us to be with Him as a partaker of the divine nature

This is repent to enter paradise on earth - good news, not bad news. For God is good and wishes us to be with Him as a partaker of the divine nature. But to be in his presence, we must become pure through death of our sinful nature on the Missing Cross to Purity - the inward cross of self-denial that leads to purity - missing from, and forgotten by Christianity today. These writings show the way to purity and union through the inward cross of self-denial.

If any man desires to come after me,
he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
Luke 9:23

He who does not take his cross, and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:38

You follow Jesus by listening to His word in your heart, hearing Him, and obeying Him.
Luke 6:46-48

How else are you going to follow Jesus? You can't follow him reading the Bible. He can only lead you with commands tailored to your individual circumstances. To be led by him, you must humbly get quiet to listen, then you must wait to hear Him, then you must obey Him. We grow by hearing and obeying his commands tailored to us. Jesus tells us six times that we must pick up our cross and follow him. Self-denial with obedience to the Lord's voice is the cross. Until you can hear and obey him, you must do your best to obey the moral core of the law: don't steal, don't lie, don't covet, don't commit adultery, forgive, do for others as you would have them do for you, etc. Incline your ear, and come to me. Hear [and obey], and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies promised to David. Isa 55:3, Luke 6:46-49. Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. Proverbs 8:34, Luke 11:28.

The Jews had the scriptures, but did not have the word; so they failed to recognize Jesus because they were not listening to God's voice. Jesus told them: He who is of God, hears God's words. You cannot hear his words because you are not of God. John 8:47. The Jews heard the scriptures read frequently, but Jesus just told them they did not hear God's words. I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. John 8:37.You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form...you do not have his word abiding in you, John 5:37-38. Scriptures or the Bible is not God's word; if the Bible were God's word, then the Jews who killed Jesus were his mother and brothers; for Jesus said: My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God, and obey. Luk 8:21. Clearly the Jews made the mistake of substituting reading scriptures for listening to and obeying the Voice of the Lord, Jesus, who is the Word of God, in your heart to hear and obey; now Christendom, making the same mistake, has lost the true hope and the way to God.

A great darkness has perverted salvation to be instant, supposedly actuated by various forms of heathenish ritual, leaving us captive to our sinful natures; confusing the Kingdom of God, within you and around you, which does not come with outward signs to be observed, to be an after-death-only heaven; and then again confusing the return of Christ with his Kingdom to individuals purified from their sinful natures, to be a future one-time return of Christ to the whole world. This site's purpose is to unravel the knot of lies blanketing Christianity and scripturally correct the confusion, in hope of inspiring you to seek the available union with Christ and God in the Kingdom while on earth, which comes to individual persons by repentance to purity.

There are those in Christendom who are content to find the minimum requirements to escape Hell; for them there is the broad, easy way that seems right to a man, but ends in destruction. Then there are those in Christendom, seeking the narrow way that few will find, who are ready to give their entire life's energy and direction to please God to the maximum possible; to those this site is directed.

From the Voice of the Lord: "This is the day of your visitation, regarding the business of obedience feared and repentance required."
