The Secret TRUTH of OFFENSES Revealed! The TRUE GOSPEL Offends The Disobedient & Unbelievers; But, Honors The Obedient and Believers. Here's How To Deal With The 2 Sources of Offenses.



To help everyone understand Offenses and how to properly handle them, this article was written. The subject of OFFENSES is one of the most misunderstood subjects in the Bible. Thus, many people, including Christians and Jews, do not know how to handle such a recurring force. Christ Himself prophesied that OFFENSES are sure to come. Know the Truth about OFFENSES and learn how to properly deal with them, even to your advantage and benefits.

The Filipino "Man From The FAR EAST" is regularly posting comments and revelatory articles that have the effect of offending some people. This cannot be avoided because we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Messianic Kabbalah True Gospel of Christ, so we speak, NOT to Please Men, but rather to PLEASE GOD (1Thessalonians 2:4). 

If you are one of those who felt offended, please be informed that you are just being given an opportunity to improve yourself, and to be accepted by JESUS CHRIST who is a "ROCK-OF-OFFENSE..." (1Peter 2:8, Romans 9:33).

WHAT DOES IT MEAN, OFFENSE, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE?

 Biblically speaking, OFFENSE means everything, or everyone that causes someone to sin, or to stumble in God's Law. To expand this meaning, OFFENSE means everything or everyone that goes AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD THE FATHER (1Peter 2:7-8, Isaiah 8:14-15).

To THOSE WHO ARE DISOBEDIENT, CHRIST is...a Stone-of-Stumbling and a ROCK-OF-OFFENSE to those disobeying, who stumble at the [Kabbalistic] Word... (1Pet 2:7-8 MKJV)


... A STONE of  STUMBLING and for a ROCK OF OFFENCE to both the Houses of Israel...  
(Isa 8:14 KJV)

And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.  (Isa 8:15 KJV)

OFFENSES ARE SURE TO COME; FROM TWO DIFFERENT SOURCES!

Now, the thing that almost all people do not understand are the sources and targets of these offenses. Without the proper knowledge and understanding of offenses, people react wrongfully. And without realizing it, their offended reactions actually strengthen Satan -- Mankind's enemy! So, for the True Christians to wisely fight and win the war against their enemy, they must understand the nature of offenses.

There are Two (2) Kinds or SOURCES of offenses with their corresponding Targets. These offenses are applied both to God, who is pure GOOD, and to Satan, who is pure EVIL. 

1. The OFFENSE THAT COMES FROM CHRIST AND HIS FOLLOWERS. TARGET: Satan and his Followers.

CHRIST is called a "STONE-OF-STUMBLING and a ROCK-OF-OFFENSE" to Satan and his Followers (1Peter 2:8). The offenses that Christ and His Followers throw at Satan and his followers are God's Laws, Commandments, Statutes, and Righteous Judgments. In other words, the very [Kabbalistic] WORD OF GOD.

2. The OFFENSE that COMES FROM SATAN and HIS FOLLOWERS. TARGET: Christ and His Followers.

On the other hand, Satan and his cohorts, with all their subtle deceptive techniques, are also offenses directed to True Christians and Jews. Their weapons are Lies, Falsehood, Spirit of Disobedience, etc. If Satan and his camp are successful in deceiving and offending Christ's followers, then Christ and God the Father's family and workmanship are damaged. 

So, we must not be surprised if offenses come; what we must do is to identify properly the SOURCE and TARGET of those offenses that comes in our way.
  • Woe to the world because of OFFENSES! For it is necessary that OFFENSES come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!  (Mat 18:7 MKJV)
DON'T BE OFFENDED PERSONALLY. YOU ARE JUST GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO OVERCOME, AND BE PURIFIED OF YOUR EVIL INCLINATION!

If you feel offended personally, don't give in to that hurt  feelings and emotions. What is really offended in you is NOT THE REAL YOU; but rather the Evil Inclination (Heb. Yetzer Hara) injected inside you by the Serpent because of the Sin of our First Parents -- Adam and Eve.

Actually, the Evil Inclination that dwells in the Psyche of every Human Being is Satan! Satan has many names, and Yetzer Hara or Evil Inclination is just one of those many names! Today, the modern name of Satan is called EGO.

You must control the Yetzer Hara (Ego) or the Satan inside you, and finally subjugate it. If you can successfully do this, you will never be put to shame (Romans 9:33). Instead, you will receive a great reward and honor from God The Father! 
  • TO YOU WHO BELIEVE IS THE HONOR. (1Pet 2:7 MKJV)
  • The LORD of Armies is who you must regard as HOLY. He is the one you must Fear. He is the one you must dread.  (Isa 8:13 HNV)
  • And HE SHALL BE FOR A SANCTUARY... (Isa 8:14 KJV)
KNOW THE TECHNIQUE ON HOW TO PROPERLY REACT TO OFFENSES

 Here is the technique on how to properly react to offenses. And please be informed that these offenses could come from both God and the Devil, for different and opposite purposes! But their target is the same: YOU, and every Human Being on Earth!

The OFFENSES that come from God are intended to defeat and remove the Spirit of Satan from inside you and me. On the other hand, the offenses that are thrown at you by Satan and his cohorts are for the purpose of strengthening the Satan inside you, and to make him continue to dwell inside you!

So, if you are offended because your ego is hit, then stop for a moment and think it over. Allow your ego or Yetzer Hara to be hurt and defeated, which means to humble and submit yourself to God Almighty! As I said, it is NOT YOU that is being hit, but the Yetzer Hara or Satan inside you. If you fight back, or take revenge for the hurt feelings you experienced, please be informed that you are fighting in favor of your Yetzer Hara, which is the Satan in your psyche! So, instead of defeating your enemy within, you even make it stronger!

But, if the OFFENSE is directed toward Jesus Christ and God the Father's WILL, then that's the time that you should be really offended! Then, fight that offense directed to God. This is what David did, when the proud giant Goliath insulted God and the Army of Israel. Of course, you must fight back God's way, not your own way.

So, again, always remember, that when you feel personally offended, it is an opportunity for you to overcome your Yetzer Hara, for you to be purified and cleansed of it. In other words, you are given the opportunity to be set free from your real enemy -- the Evil Inclination or the Spirit of  Satan inside you! This is the secret meaning of John 8:32. 

Yes, the TRUTH, who is Jesus Christ, will SET YOU FREE from your EVIL INCLINATION or the SPIRIT OF SATAN! And this we can achieve successfully if we CONTINUE to be purified by the powerful Kabbalistic WORD OF GOD, which is Christ. And Christ is the sharp two-edged sword, and the the ROCK-OF-OFFENSE that will pulverize and vanish away the Evil Inclination inside the Psyche of every True Christian and Jew (John 8:31-32).
  • Jesus said to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in My [KABBALISTIC] WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed;  (John 8:31 KJV)
  • Then, You will know the Truth, and THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. (John 8:32)
The END-RESULT OF BEING SET FREE FROM EVIL INCLINATION OR SATANIC OFFENSES

If you are truly successful in eradicating this Evil Inclination or the Spirit of Satan inside you (with the help of Christ), then, only then, can you say that the "TRUTH HAS SET YOU FREE" (John 8:31-32, Psalms 119:165).
  • Great peace have they which LOVE THY LAW (Torah): and NOTHING SHALL OFFEND THEM. (Psa 119:165 KJV)
From Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible:
Here is an account of the happiness of good men, who are governed by a principle of love to the word of God, who make it their rule and are ruled by it. 
  • They are easy, and have a holy serenity; none enjoy themselves more than they do: Great peace have those that love thy law, abundant satisfaction in doing their duty and pleasure in reflecting upon it. The work of righteousness is peace (Isa_32:17), such peace as the world can neither give nor take away. They may be in great troubles without and yet enjoy great peace within - abundance of internal light. Those that love the world have great vexation, for it does not answer their expectation; those that love God's word have great peace, for it outdoes their expectation, and in it they have sure footing. 
  • They are safe, and have a holy security: Nothing shall offend them; nothing shall be a scandal, snare, or stumbling-block, to them, to entangle them either in guilt or grief. No event of providence shall be either an invincible temptation or an intolerable affliction to them, but their love to the word of God shall enable them both to hold fast their integrity and to preserve their tranquility. They will make the best of that which is, and not quarrel with any thing that God does. Nothing shall offend or hurt them, for every thing shall work for good to them, and therefore shall please them, and they shall reconcile themselves to it. Those in whom this holy love reigns will not be apt to perplex themselves with needless scruples, nor to take offence at their brethren, 1Co_13:6, 1Co_13:7. (Emphasis by: Lope Columna)
