CULT-ure!

Soldier of Truth · Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2003 7:08 pm Post subject: CULT-ure!

Michael Travesser is not a Cult, but George Bush is. United Nations is a global Pe(A)ce imitation cult. People who have faith in lies, sacrificing their life for the BEAST.

Michael is not a cult, but paper Dollars, Euro's and the rest. We in Europa and the States had no inflation for 300 years, when we used silver. The Beast is eating their money Fortitude. Work for taxes for Global War Machine.

I say this out of love. Truth is beautifull. A living Three. The Gospel of John starts of like the genius, that Michael Travesser is, being ripened into us, THE SONS OF GOD!

Sorry but Michael Travesser is a deluded fool making himself out to be God or the Christ, anyone who can read the Bible can read the warnings that are clearly written there aobut people like Michael. The only real Truth there is is in the Bible in the KJV it is the Truth. The Bible even says let every man be a liar but the WORD of GOD be TRUE. I will not listen to man I will listen or read the BIBLE, man can fail man can be deluded and corrupted by Satan, and even be possed with a religious spirit! A religious spirit is a spirit of lies and deception with the apearance of Godliness. Soory I dont buy it! Michaael or whatever his name is needs deliverance and needs to get saved!
This has nothing to do with George Bush.

Anyone who has the guts to say that he is the Messiah, isolates himself and other innocent souls, filling their hearts and minds with unbiblical hogwash, I would say qualifies him for a Cult Leader.In today's world we need to abide in God's word to be free from the epidemic of deception. "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables."
2Timothy 4:3-4 KJV
Beware the antiChrist is coming. "The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they may be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong dilusion that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2Thessalonians 2:9-12 KJV

Check your Bible Travessers. The Old Testament is a great place to start or go to www.yeshuaconnection.com. They have a list of Messiahic Prophecies. My heart aches for your lost souls. I love each and everyone of you. E-mail me and we will talk. Remember the Bible is truth and the truth will set you free. If something or someone dosen't line up with scripture, it or they are not of God and if it's not of God you know who it is of.

I agree with you 100% T Doty. It really amazes me how so many people are being deceived in these latter days.

Thanks

This is a letter that I wrote to Michael Travesser and his church. Read this with more to follow.

Greetings Brethren,

As a child of God, I wish to share with you this letter I have written to Michael, and I pray that it would be both educational and enlightening.

God is truth. "He is the rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are justice, a God of truth and without injustice righteous and upright is he." Deuteronomy 32:4 KJV

As you read this letter, I pray that you will take out your Bible and read each scripture reference contained. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, and thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:18 KJV

God's word is truth and the truth shall set you free. "If you abide in my word, you are my disciples indeed and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." John 8:31-32 KJV

Greetings Michael,

I found your recent article entitled "Who was Jesus ?" very interesting, but somewhat fictional. If you will permit me to, I would like to clarify a few points that you made.

First of all, I agree with you that much of the Church today has gotten away from the method of worship intended by God, but to state that "Modern Man does not worship a historical Jesus" is a false statement. The fact is, that the Church governed by fallible man, over the years has adopted some traditions that are not contained in or based on scripture. This is unfortunate, but the Holy Spirit has not departed from the Church as a whole.

In a word of encouragement, I would like to say that your opinion or views could never diminish the life or works of Jesus; or Y'shua as is his real name. This is a Biblical fact as stated in the Gospel. "and there are also many other things that Jesus (Y'shua) did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written." John 21:25 KJV. In using the Library of Congress as an example, the two largest sections on a single subject are the Civil War and Jesus (Y'shua). So you see, your opinion or views could never diminish the life or works of Jesus (Y'shua).

You are partially correct in your conclusion that Jesus (Y'shua) was jobless and without a home. It is unfortunate for many individuals that there is little record of the first 30 years of Jesus' (Y'shua) life. So, although the Gospels do paint a picture of Jesus (Y'shua) as being jobless and homeless, this was his choice with a purpose and a message. Jesus wished to devote all of his time and efforts to the work of God and is an example of how faith in God is all we need. He is Yehovah Yireh Genesis 22:14 (meaning God provides in the Hebrew spelling). Jesus (Y'shua) was a carpender by trade. Does the Bible say this? No. It is only by an understanding of ancient Hebrew customs and society that one can logically conclude this. In the society of this time it was customary that the father trained his son in the ways of his livelihood. So it would be safe to say that Jesus (Y'shua) was a carpenter. Furthermore Jesus was homeless by choice, again the custom of the times was that the child resided with the parents until such time when they chose to leave. It was common practice that even after marriage, children lived in an addition built onto their parents' house.

I'm comfused by your statement that Jesus (Y'shua) referred to himself as the Sacrificial Lamb. With all due respect I would like to point out that I have searched The Strongs Exhaustive Concordance (an in-depth bible reference) for the scripture that you refer to, and have not been able to locate it. Is it possible that you are thinking of the Gospel of John? John; Yochanan Ben Zechariah as he was called, twice referred to Jesus (Y'shua) as the Lamb of God. "The next day John saw Jesus (Y'shua) coming toward him and said "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." John 1:28 KJV. "And looking at Jesus (Y'shua) as he walked, he said "Behold the Lamb of God" John 1:38 KJV. Please share the scripture with me that you refer to.

Although your point about Jesus (Y'shua) referring to himself as the son of God is well taken, I pray that you have considered the facts that support his claim. These people you refer to in San Francisco who make a claim to Messiahship probably don't have the credentials to meet the defined criteria contained in the Old Testament (Tanak in Hebrew).

It is true that Paul; Saul as his real name was, was a Pharisee of Pharisees. A man of great social stature, who as you have said would never have associated with society's sinners of the day. You can understand why if you were to study the attitude and way of life of the Pharisees during this time. To help you better understand, it is important to note that the Pharisees were a small, but very influential sect of Judaism who evolved during the time of the Macabean Dynasty (164-37 B.C.E.) . They followed the Jewish traditions to the letter of the law, but were very self righteous and hypocritical in nature. Many times their acts and attitudes offended Jesus (Y'shua). I believe the best Scripture that describes how Jesus (Y'shua) felt about them is the entire chapter of Matthew 23. So, you are correct, Paul (Saul) would never have associated with the sinners that Jesus (Y'shua) associated with until after his conversion, but you also have to remember that Jesus said "For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance" Matthew 9:13 KJV. He went down to their level for that very reason. As far as the majority of the Pharisees, Sadducees or Scribes, he knew better than to waste his time on anyone with such a hard self righteous heart.

History would not support your statement that there were many Prophets and Messiahs around the time of Jesus. In the writings of Josephus; on of the great ancient historians of Israel, he noted that after the time of Malachi (around 400 B.C.E.) no more Prophets arose in the land. It was as if God had become silent until the time of John The Baptist, Yochanan Ben Zechariah as he was called. John was the first to appear on the scene; in well over 400 years, as he predicted the appearance of the Messiah (Jesus (Y'shua)) and the ushering in of Gods' kingdom. I believe you are also mistaken in your claim that Barabbas was a Messiah. Although he was guilty of murder and rebellion, there is no information to support that he or anyone else believed that he was a Messiah. I also can't find any fact that Barabbas was called Jesus. The first notable False Messiah to appear on the scene after the time of Jesus (Y'shua) was Bar- Cochba in around 132 C.E.. He was believed to be authentic by a large number of Jews and a very influential Rabbi Akiba. Rabbi Akiba was one of the five main Rabbis that formulated the beginning of Modern Rabbinical Judaism from 70 - 80 C.E..

Why is it so hard to for you to accept that Jesus (Y'shua) entered Jerusalem for the last time on a borrowed ass? The Prophet Zechariah predicted this hundreds of years before it happened. "Behold, your king is coming to you; he is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt the foul of a donkey" Zechariah 9:9.

Let me explain to you why Jesus (Y'shua) made such a scene in the outer courts of the Temple. Consider the money changers and the merchants that sold the sacrifices, crowding the outer court, so they could charge astronomical prices for their services. Jews coming from other places to sacrifice had no other choice, but to pay the ridiculous prices they charged. This was not for what God intended the outer court to be used. The outer court was intended to be a place where Jews could go and pray, and both Jews and Gentiles could come and be educated on the ways of the God of Israel. Many gentiles committed to a Jewish conversion here. The corrupt Priests of the day allowed this thievery to happen and it infuriated Jesus (Y'shua). His actions were justified.

Another point to consider is the fact that Israel had not had a true High Priest in his rightful position since the time of the conquest of Antiochus III (198 B.C.E.). At that time the real heir to the priesthood (descendent of Aaron) was run off to Egypt. After this the High Priesthood became a prize to be seized by intrigue, violence or sold to the highest bidder. It was filled by a succession of men who were more concerned with their own interests than the work of God. This was one of the reasons why so much corruption existed in the running of the temple.

The educated Christians of today acknowledge that both Jesus (Y'shua) and Moses (Moishe) were dark in complection. All people who live in the Middle East are. It's not the Christians of today but Hollywood who paints the picture of two white Anglo-Saxons.

Moses (Moishe) was a highly educated man being brought up as the son of Pharaohs' daughter. The Egyptian elite thoroughly educated their young so he probably spoke both Egyptian and Hebrew quite well. Aaron spoke to Pharaoh for Moses (Moishe) because Moses was not an eloquent speaker as he admitted in Exodus. "Then Moses (Moishe) said to the Lord, I am not eloquent, not before or since you have spoken to your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue." Exodus 7:1 KJV. He had not forgotten how to speak Egyptian. Remember Aaron was brought up as a Hebrew and Probably only spoke Egyptian as a second language.

God never said he made Moses (Moishe) a God. What God meant was that he had made him as a God to Pharaoh; by the miracles that he would perform through him, and Aaron was to prophesy the plagues. God would never make anyone a God. He is a Jealous God. "(for you shall worship no other God, For the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God)". Exodus 34:14 KJV.

I agree that God does not look at the outward appearance. God makes that perfectly clear to the Prophet Samuel. "But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance or his physical stature because I have refused him, for the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart" 1Samuel 17:7 KJV. Jesus (Y'shua) was a carpenter, Moses and King David were shepherds, Paul (Saul) was a tent maker. Gods takes pleasure in using common everyday people to obtain his purpose. This leaves no doubt in the mind of anyone that it is the Holy Spirit doing the work of God, not people working in their own strength. Some of Jesus' (Y'shua) disciples were highly educated individuals. Luke was a Physician, Matthew a tax collector and some were Pharisees. "After this, Joseph (Yoseph) of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus. And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds." John 19:38-39 KJV

It is true that Jesus (Y'shua) didn't write any of the scriptures, but to say that Jesus was uneducated is incorrect. In the ancient Hebrew culture, one of the privileges and advantages of being a boy was the ceremony of Bar Mitzvah. To qualify for Bar Mitzvah a boy had to read and write Hebrew. Only after he was able to do this, was he given the privilege of performing his Bar Mitzvah in front of his congregation. Jesus (Y'shua) not only spoke Hebrew fluently, but probably Aramaic and Greek also. "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" Mark 15:34, this is clearly the Aramaic language, but Greek was so common that the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament (Tana), was translated into Greek during the 2nd and 3rd century B.C.E. This is what is called the Septuagint.

It is a very confusing to me how any man of God could refer to Elijah, one of God's greatest Prophets, as an evil man. This is a man who was held in such high esteem by God that he was literally taken directly up into Heaven. "Then it happened, as they (Elijah and Elisha) continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into Heaven." 1Kings 2:11 KJV

The Bible doesn't say that Elijah killed 400 of the Kings Religious Ministers by cutting off their heads. The correct number of false prophets that you speak of is 450 as stated in 1Kings 18:19 KJV "now therefore send and gather all of Israel to me on Mount Carmel, the 450Prophets of Baal and the 400 Prophets of Asherah". The word of God does not contain mistakes.

The method of death was a sword, but nowhere does it mention decapitation. "And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets by a sword," 1Kings 19:1. Elijah was justified in doing this. Under the Levitical laws of the Old Testament (Torah of the Tanak) the punishment for a False Prophet was death by stoning. "But the Prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or speaks in the name of other Gods, that prophet shall die". Deuteronomy 18:20 KJV "and you shall stone him with stones, until he dies" Deuteronomy 13:10 KJV

Finally to make a claim that you are the second coming of Jesus (Y'shua) is a powerful statement. First of all, you would have to be Jewish and born of a virgin. "Therefore the Lord will give you a sign: behold; the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." In Hebrew "Immanuel" literally means God with us.

You would have to be a member of the tribe of Judah. "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to him shall be the obedience of the people." Genesis 49:10 KJV "Shiloh" is a name recognized by Rabbis as another name for Messiah. So we see here that the Messiah is from the tribe of Judah.

Were you born in Bethlehem, Israel? "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to me the one to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from old, from everlasting." Micah 5:2 KJV. There is only one Messiah and he was born in Bethlehem, Israel.

I'm not going to continue with the other over 300 prophecies that Jesus (Y'shua) fulfilled because I don't believe, that you can honestly say, that you fulfill these basic ones.

John 3:16 KJV states "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Romans 10:9-10 KJV "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus (Y'shua) and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes onto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made onto salvation"

I pray that my sharing this information does not offend you. Jesus the Messiah (Y'shua H'machiah) loves you more that you can imagine. Please, won't you repent, turn to him and profess him as the true and only Messiah.

If any of you have any questions or comments, please email me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Love, in Y"shua H'Machiah

This is his response.

I can appreciate your arguments, but I cannot appreciate your spamming people on our site.

By this intrusive behavior, you already prove yourself unworthy of comment. It is your comment to me that is fictional. You like to have a nice clean picture of the body you worship, but if you had been living in Jesus day, you would have seen the very Jesus I describe. You would have written a letter to him, being the faithful Jew that you would have been, trying to dissuade he and his followers. You cannot hear my words, so there is no need for me to go on.

Michael

P.S. Please no more spamming. It is rude and unchristlike.

Hello T. Doty, It looks like you have really been doing your research that is great. It is true, every bit of the WORD of God is TRUE some will hear and some will not, apparently this Micheal guy is not able to hear he is caught up in his own deception and that is really a shame. I can't believe he is acusing you of spamming that is bogus! Apparently he thinks it is ok to spam others and spread his lies, we have the right to free speech, he has his right but I dont agree with his beliefs, and we have our right to our belief and opinion too. People like Michael do not want people to be able to study and think for theirselves he wants slaves to do his bidding, he has made himself a god. The TRUE and Living God of the Bible is a Jealous God, he has said thou shalt have no other gods before me! So this Michael making himself out to be a god is doing a very dangerous thing and will pay the ultimate price unless he repents and gets saved.

By the way T. Doty what is the e-mail to their site? I will be glad to send e-mail there, I have seen their web site but no way to e-mail them. It seems like many cults do this, I guess they fear others may hear the TRUTH

Take Care

Hi Larry, Thank you, but I can not take the credit. It was the work of the Holy Spirit, although I in my flesh made some spelling errors. Micheal can be reached at either michaeltravesser@travesser.com or michaeltravesser@bacavalley.com. Pray for him and his church, that God will remove the spiritual eyes that plauge them.

I would like to share with you my response to Michael's e-mail. The truth is Larry I did spam his web site, but I feel lead to expose anyone who dares to exhalt themselves to the level of the Messiah.

I read what you had to say, this is why I have written to you and your church. I love all of you in Christ and desire that none of you should perish in Hell. Can you say that? Probably not, you harbor ill feelings because the Seventh Day Adventist Church rejects your teachings. I have the discernment of the Holy spirit; who lives in me, to recognize who the Christ is. If I would have seen Jesus face to face and would have checked out his facts, I would have known that he was the Messiah. I would based my devotion to him on scripture, not a feeling or what any man would say. I would have been a follower, such as Nicodemus or Joseph of Arimathea. But you are deceived by the spirit of the Anti Christ and make no factual claim to Messiahship. I deceive no one, everything I say I back up with scripture.
"and the Angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;". "Yet Michael the arch angel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, the Lord rebuke you!" Michael, the real arch angel, dared not make an accusation against the devil. That's very enlightening. Jesus simply said "Away with you Satan" Matthew 4:10 (in part)

To your church I say, "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different Gospel. which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Gospel of Christ. But even if we, or any other angel from Heaven, preach any other Gospel than what we have preached to you; let him be accursed. And we have said before, so now I say again if anyone preaches any other Gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:6-9
The Scriptures are truth and every man is a liar.

I didn't give the reference for the scripture about The arch angel. You can find it in Jude 1:6,9. Here is Michael's reponse to my next e-mail.

I have told you in the very first post of the public site the
prophecies I fulfill. IF you had read what I wrote you would have
known, but you are like the Jews. You only see what you want to see
and no evidence will convince you because you do not want to be
convinced. You are your own deception, I have deceived no one, for my
words and my coming are purely from the Scriptures. If you knew
anything about the Scriptures and the Spirit of God, you would have
known me. You do not have sufficient oil to recognize me. You are one
of the foolish virgins.

Hello Soldier of truth, Are you still with us?
I wanted to clarify the fact that I posted my e-mails to Michael in the wrong seqence.
Hi Larry, I hope everything is well with you.
Here is the last e-mail I got from Wayne(Michael).

You have what you want. Your life is as you love it. I have nothing
to convince you of otherwise.

Michael

P.S. You have the Spirit? Then why has he not told you that most all
of those e-mails you are sending out go nowhere. Most all of them are
addresses that do not exist. So it is with your vanity. You think so
much of yourself, and your cunning, that you spend much of your time in
vanity, and wishful thinking. The people in my land have life, and
your words are as dry stubble to them. You are as the Pharisees who
attacked Jesus. You are all fair on the outside, but inwardly you are
a dead man. If you had eyes to see, you would know this and if you had
the Spirit of my Father, you would know this.

In the good ol' days people could excercise the First Amendment in America and not be criticized or chastized... it's really a shame what the nation has come to. I guess I too will be criticized or labeled as a pagan/heathen. To that I say this: I honestly do not care.

This Strong City group has brought no harm upon anyone (to my knowledge, and Mr. Bent seems like a nice guy, so I hope he would not think to do anything of the sort), so why can't they be left alone?

T. Doty · hopefully saved by grace Joined: 13 Sep 2003 Posts: 28

Hi Stormrider,
I don't believe that you realize the impact of what Wayne Brent is doing. He professes to be the second coming of Christ. This is serious, and not only does he believe it, but he has a following of about 150 people. I have challenged him a number of times on this, and when I expose his errors through scripture, his responce is that I am not of a spirit that can discern him. Well he is right about that. He does not possess the spirit of the true living God, and if he were the Messiah; the chosen one, his claims would line up with scripture.
Maybe you should check your Bible and gather an understanding of what he professes. He obviously is not the Messiah, and to make such a claim is a sin worthy of Hell Fire. I do not judge Wayne Brent, or any of his followers for that matter, but I will say that the Word of God does. I have been, and will continue to pray for Wayne and his followers. There is an old saying, If you don't stand for something, then you will fall for anything. There are allot of uninformed people out there that are seachiong for answers, and if they don't get their answers from the right places, then they could find eternal damnation. Hell is a reality, so we should know what and why, we believe what we believe, and the Bible is the standard that we should go by.
To address your claim that the Bible has been altered, I would like to point out, that even the most ancient transcripts that exist today; including the Dead Sea Scrolls which predate Jesus, hold the exact same meaning as our modern text. It is true that there are many different versions of the Bible, but they all basically say the same thing, with the exception of a few i.e. the New World Translation used by the Jehovah Witnesses.
I do not wish to chastise you in any way, and I assure you, if I thought that the Word of God was in any way incorrect, I would not follow it. God was powerful enough to create this world, and I believe that he is powerful enough to guide the hands of the great men of faith, who penned his words under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. God is limited by nothing, and his Word is his greatest gift to man, next to Jesus. Please consiter that, but don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself. I believe that you will be both enlightened and blessed.
Love in Yeshua H'mashiach (Jesus the Messiah)
