About the Book

There are certain things in the Bible that cannot be "safely" overlooked, if you plan on getting eternal life. And there are very few preachers out there bringing these to peoples attention. In many cases the preachers are appointed, and anointed by "men," and "not" God!! Only those anointed by God have the true insight to what the Scriptures really mean. The ones anointed by men can only use the materials provided by men, to interpret the Bible. Jesus said, "it is not given unto them to understand." Since he said that, what makes humans think they their schools, and books and research can override the Son of God?? Even Solomon said many times, "you will not find it out." Paul said certain ministers are "stewards of the mysteries." Keepers entrusted by God to reveal certain things, at certain times. Not all at once. And even they are "not" entrusted with "all" the answers.

So here is a number of Bible studies people truly "need." They may go against what you have been taught. But each lesson has at least 2-dozen Scriptures all pointing at the same subject. So listen to your heart, and feel the Holy Spirit for the answers. Many of these you "can" go to Hell for if you don't get them right. In these last days people just don't take the Bible that serious, as they once did. It seems to them Jesus is never coming back. They've heard that rumor to long. Now they want to eat, drink and be merry. As they did in Noah’s day. Hopefully these studies will shake that "foolish" thinking. There is one study in here taking a very close look at Hell, and what you may be missing.

There’s one thing I need to warn you about. When you accepted all the nice parts of the Bible, then see it's harsher than you thought, will you turn away from God altogether?? Jesus told his disciples, "will you also leave." Then there is the book John ate in Revelation 10.

It was "sweet in his mouth." That's the first taste. But it was, "bitter in his belly." That was the full understanding. Just keep in mind, God is God, and truth is truth. If "you" believe it or not. And what will happen, "will" happen, if you believe it or not. So don't hurt "yourself."

Lastly don't be to hard on your ministers if you see the realities in most of these. God said some things were hidden from the foundation of the world. Many preachers are doing their best. And yes there are many false prophets out there also. These lessons will definitely give you the tools to tell them apart!!

I truly want to write on some of the mysteries in Revelation. I see the experts have gotten it very wrong!! But I haven't gotten permission to write that. Sure it would make money. But this is not about money for me at "all"!! But as these last days come quickly to and end, revelation will be revealed in time for you to make a final, but "quick" choice.

The first 2 chapters are on the Pharisees. The religious leaders who went against everything new Jesus brought to them. I expect the same from the "new" Pharisees!! And they sure are here in the same spirit, and style, you'll see. The people judged then, and the church is still here. Don't let the scholars, and leaders judge for you either!!!!!!!! I'm praying for you.

About the Author

I was born on the Navy base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where my father was stationed. He was a career man, so we moved from base to base. Finally, we ended up at a brand new base called Point Mugu in California, in 1957 or 8. On all these bases we were the only black family. I grew up with, and went to school with, all white children for my first 11 years and adopted their ways in every respect. I never knew any difference between us, nor recognized any prejudice at that age. Even looking back as an adult, I see very few incidents I'd call prejudice. Children don't know prejudice until a parent or grown up teaches them.

We moved from those base havens to the L.A. ghetto in 1961. I never knew there were that many black people in the world. I never knew people commit crime fro real. I never knew people would actually hit you to hurt you. One guy told me his big brother was going to whip my ass, and I truly thought he meant he was going to take off his belt and whip me. My every thought and manner was opposite theirs. The other kids had a ball running over me, but it was short-lived because after a few months it was "no more Mr. Nice Guy." I became one of the most violent in our gang, but for those first five years I did get chumped out a few times.

I was truly saved at age 11 and had an extreme passion for the Lord. I carried my New Testament bible to school and witnessed in the 5th and 6th grades. My brothers and I even filled the church with some of our gang members. My father was a preacher as long as I can remember. the I backslid in Jr. High and got into serious gang fighting. The gangs in the '60s were no joke even without many guns, and that was the beginning of my 31 years in a backslidden state. After being kicked out of several schools for fighting, I was sent to an all boy's school for bad kids. There were two in L.A. One was all black and the other was for the dangerous Mexicans, whites and a very few blacks also went there.

I was sent to the mixed one because the principal at my school thought it would help keep my grades up if I was kept away from my friends at the black school. And sure enough, it worked! I graduated the 9th grade with straight A's, but never went to school again. Back then, high school started at the 10th grade. I never saw a prom, grad night or cap and gown, and whatever else they do in high school.

In this backslidden state, I grew to hate the church with a passion. My parents had separated and the church people thought they were supposed to help raise us any way they thought right. I was hard as nails by then and was not going for it at all. But with my father a minister, I had a real tough time bucking the program. So rather than go to church, I ran away from home and stayed a year at the age of 15. I put my age up and went up north to the farm labor camps where I picked lemons and oranges, and lived in the labor camps. I contacted my mother after 5 months and went to New Jersey to live with her. The she said I had to go to church out there also, and go to school. so I left there in 3 weeks, back to the lemon camps. Seeing how hardheaded I was, my mother then changed her mind and I went back to Jersey.
