Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that He may have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:6-7)

Jesus's Warning About Competitor With Signs & Wonders.
+
Three years after Jesus' Ascension, Christians were waiting for Jesus's return on clouds of glory which Jesus promised every eye would see from "eastern to western sky." (Matthew 24:26-29.) Only the day or hour was unknown. At that point, Paul was breathing "murderous threats" on Christians. He was clearly a lost man. Paul then had a wilderness encounter outside Damascus with someone saying "I am Jesus whom you persecute" -- the voice implying he was the Christ. (Acts 9:1-11). However, those with Paul "saw no one." (Acts 9:7.)
+
What was Paul's proof he was chosen by the true Jesus? Paul in Second Corinthians 12:12 said what proved his validity: "The things that mark an apostle—signs and wonders—were done among you with great perseverance." Paul in Romans 15:19 likewise said: "Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ." The Greek roots for signs and wonders were "semeion" and "teraton."
+
But Jesus was repeatedly concerned about the "signs and wonders" prophets, especially those claiming to have met in the "wilderness" someone coming "in my name" saying in effect 'I am Jesus' -- an imposter Jesus -- whom Jesus tells us we know is false because not everyone on earth will have seen this imposter from "eastern to western sky" coming on clouds of glory. (Matthew 7:15-23, especially verse 22; Matthew 24:11 &24, & 26-28; Revelation 1:7 "coming with clouds, and every eye will see him".)
+
Jesus warns again of the false prophets in Mark 13:22. They "shall show signs and wonders to seduce, if possible, even the elect."
+
The Greek words in each warning by Jesus about false prophets quoted above were "semeion" and "teraton" -- the same words as what Paul claimed proved his validity. Jesus said the false prophets will be "ravening wolves" in "sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15.) - that is "false prophets" who appear to be following the true Christ but follow a false Christ.
+
God Identified From What Tribe This Ravening Wolf In Sheep's Clothing Would Come From.
+
Did God send a prophecy to warn us about one who would claim to follow Christ but inwardly was a "ravening wolf" as Jesus called him? And did God tell us from what tribe? Indeed, God did so.
+
Jacob in Genesis prophesied a warning of a "ravening wolf" from the tribe of Benjamin who would come in the latter days. This was the same time "Shiloh" -- the Prince of Peace -- would come, and who would be from Judah (i.e., the Messiah). The Benjamite Wolf prophesy is in Genesis 49:27. [For full discussion of the Benjamite Wolf prophecy, see Jesus' Words Only chapter 14 and chapter 18.]
+
Thus, Jesus' familiar warning about a "ravening wolf" in sheep's clothing (Matthew 7:15) -- one who would claim to be one of Christ's sheep -- borrows language right from Genesis 49:27.
+
Is that a coincidence? It does not appear so for the term "ravening wolf" is only spoken about in 3 places in Scripture -- Genesis 49:27, Matthew 7:15 and last but not least Ezekiel 22:26-30. This last use depicts those who claim in visions revelation which they use to lead the people to abandon the Law, especially resting on Sabbath, and God calls them "ravening wolves." Does that sound like anyone we know in his post-'conversion' messages?
+
Jesus used this label to depict one who is not a true sheep but wears sheep's clothing that make him appear like a sheep. Genesis prophesied this would be a "ravening wolf" from the tribe of Benjamin. Who could this "ravening wolf" claiming to be a "sheep" from the tribe of Benjamin possibly be?
+
The Book Jesus's Words Only.
+
In line with the above, an attorney in the book Jesus Words Only argues the inspired New Testament consists of Jesus' words only. Paul's status is questioned. First, Paul never made a valid prophecy. Second, Paul must be rejected under Deuteronomy 13:5 because he taught the Law of Moses was nullified (unlike Jesus who said in Matthew 5:17-19 that it continues, and that the greatest in the kingdom would teach its principles). Lastly, Jesus most likely intended we understand Paul was the person in Revelation 2:2 whom the Ephesians put on trial and proved was a false apostle. This Ephesus trial is alluded to in Acts chapter 19 where after 3 months of Paul teaching at the Ephesus congregation, the same Ephesus assembly expelled Paul. Paul refers to his trial in Ephesus several times as well, referring to "Asia" -- the region of which Ephesus was the capital. To order through Amazon, see this link.

Reviving Focus on Jesus' Words Alone. [Audio Version]
+
Our mission is to proclaim our Lord Jesus' lesson that He was the "sole teacher." (Matthew 23:8-11). He sternly told the apostles they were not to call themselves or anyone else a "teacher"! In John, Jesus explained why when He insisted that the "apostolos isnot more important than the one who sent him." (John 13:16.) The Greek word apostolos means either the title of Apostle or messenger or one that is sent. Here Jesus meant He was more important than any Apostle or messenger.
+
Even John the Baptist realized that despite knowing he himself was the greatest prophet who ever lived prior to Jesus (Matthew 11:11), yet he "must decrease" so that unfettered acceptance of Jesus' message would "increase." (John 3:30-31.)
+
Once Jesus began preaching the kingdom, then it would rob him of the authority God gave Jesus to treat anyone else's words -- particularly from mere correspondence whose author does not claim to quote Jesus -- as an authority on the same level as Jesus: "All authority has been given me in heaven and on earth." (Matthew 28:18.) For more on this principle, see our article "The Jesus' Words Only Principle Explained from Numbers 12 & Deut. 18."
+
Competing Love For Paul / Pauline Doctrine.
+
The Modern Church has instead fallen in love with Paul, or, more correctly, the points in Paul's writings that soften the requirements of costly grace which Jesus taught. This causes a vying for control over the church. Either Paul and his Dispensation of Grace applies, or Jesus and His costly grace gospel applies, as Bonhoeffer highlighted. We have developed two masters. Mainstream Christian theologians largely defend dismissing Jesus' words as applicable only to a prior dispensation of Law. Sometimes this is called Dispensationalism or Covenant Theology, but it all ends up the same: marginalizing Jesus' words. The famous theologian Rudolf Bultmann even claimed Paul teaches us in Second Corinthians 5:16 that it is necessary to treat Jesus's teachings pre-resurrection as irrelevant.(Bultman on Paul.)
+
Based upon this, Bultmann has influenced evangelical seminaries ever since to teach young pastors to emphasize the message of Paul, dismissing as largely irrelevant the words of Jesus. To dismiss Jesus' words as pertinent only to an old covenant of Law disregards entirely the prophecies that the New Testament was supposed to place the Law more proximately on our hearts, and God would give us a heart wanting to obey His statutes. See our New Testament in Prophecy. PS The Law on Gentiles in the Law is a short list -- largely just the Ten Commandments. Importantly, Gentiles had the option to use atonements provided in the Law - and this is why we can invoke Jesus' atonement for us. See Law Applicable to Gentiles.
+
Bultmann's influential dismissal of any ongoing validity to Jesus' words in the NT, putting all the emphasis on Paul's words, proves the danger of two masters as Jesus said: you will love the one and hate the other. (Matthew 6:24.) This is where the church is today--having been wooed from its first love for Christ. To avoid making any apostle a competing master, we must remember the apostles only had one inspired function -- that is when they served to carry Jesus' words (John 14:26), that is, when they serve the role of a "messenger" -- the meaning of the Greek word apostolos. Otherwise, they are at best edifying.

Growing Realization Of This Truth In The Church.
+
This message of focusing only on the words of Jesus as the New Testament inspired scripture appears overdue. The hunger for this information is reflected by the number of visitors. Since January 2008 through March 2019, there have been over 15.1 million hits, increasing at a present rate of 2.8 million per year. (In 2016, the rate was 1.6 million per year. In early 2018 it was increasing by a 2.7 million rate.) Interest on this topic is speedily growing.

Over 400 true followers of Jesus / Yahshua have written positive emails and book reviews on Jesus' Words Only and Jesus' Words On Salvation. (See "Reviews" Tab above.) These two books are available here free for download in PDF. (The chapters also have been converted to webpages with free links in the list below.) If you wish to share these books with others, they can also be purchased from Amazon and major online retailers.
+
Works by other authors are highlighted here because they too draw us to trust only Jesus as our true sole teacher and our divinely-indwelled Lord (John 14:10 "father dwells in me.")

Jesus' Words Only was written by an evangelical Christian who was motivated to write the book in his quest to reconcile Paul to Jesus' words. The historical origins of the canon prove that it originally was intended to focus only upon Jesus' words as the inspired canon. It was a much later notion to believe that letters of apostles were inspired too. Moreover, upon careful examination, there is no validity to saying "Apostle Paul" was appointed as an apostle of Jesus Christ, as it is not verified by two independent witnesses, as Jesus required for His own status as Son of God. Moreover, Jesus appears in Rev. 2:2 to have intended to condemn Paul for teachings contained in Paul's post-conversion period. Specifically, Paul's permission to eat meat sacrificed to idols, which Jesus condemns in Rev. ch. 2. As a result, this bolsters the conclusion that Jesus is the sole inspired prophet (and more than just a prophet) speaking in the New Testament. All others are secondary and unless quoting Jesus, not inspired, and the weight they deserve is for wisdom, not inspiration.

Jesus' Words On Salvation
+
The 584-page book, Jesus' Words on Salvation, is a clear easily read presentation analyzing carefully every reference by Jesus on the topic of salvation. The author, a Christian attorney, proves Jesus' doctrine of salvation involved more than just faith. Jesus reiterated a believer must have works. "The tree without good fruit is cast in the fire." (Matt. 7:19.) The branch "in me" that bears no fruit is "cut off" and "thrown in the fire." (John 15:2, 6). These verses are corroborated in numerous other passages. The Preface reviews how the Reformers Tyndale, Melancthon, Bucer, and even the mature Luther made a course correction, and taught "double justification" to incorporate this truth. This doctrine taught that initial salvation is by faith alone for the non-believer. However, once one was a believer, salvation depended upon a secondary justification by works. This is what persuaded Bonhoeffer to teach the same. This book is an effort at a scholarly review which is intended to be readable by anyone. It is designed to be fair, by including all significant sides of the interpretation of the words of Jesus so that the reader can make a fully informed decision on what the final judge, Jesus, will require on Judgment Day.

Did Calvin Murder Servetus?
+
Did Calvin Murder Servetus? We recommend this book because it makes us focus on Jesus by proving one of the icons of the Reformation was quite human. This book examines the conflict between Calvin and Michael Servetus, a medical doctor and Christian who challenged the doctrine of the trinity while maintaining Jesus' divinity. Servetus published his view that Jesus' divinity derived solely from being the Word, and not from His status as the "eternal" Son of God. John Calvin filed a criminal complaint against Servetus as a heretic for this view and for Servetus dissent from infant baptism. Calvin then had Servetus tried and put to death. The author, Mr. Rives, a practicing attorney and Christian, thoroughly examines the case and concludes that John Calvin deliberately murdered Servetus contrary to his own principles of tolerance of heretics as well as the prevailing laws at Geneva. Rives concludes that Calvin took offense at Servetus' view in 1546 that Calvin had a "doctrine of demons" for believing an infant becomes a member of the New Covenant by baptism. Calvin's revenge was to have Servetus killed for points of doctrine when Calvin himself previously said killing heretics was un-Christian and violates Scripture.
