The Author of Jesus' Words Only (2007).

The author is a California litigation attorney, in practice for thirty years. In school, he studied Classical Greek and Latin and achieved designation as a Classical Language Scholar. He is also fluent in Spanish and Italian. He graduated law school cum laude in 1981, and was on the board of Law Review.

The author became a Christian at age 15 at a campout of Faith Bible Church on a visit to Florida. Back home in New York City, he was baptized in a Baptist church, and attended a Baptist church for several years. Later, in Los Angeles, he joined the Westwood Hills Christian Church for several years and then for 15 years he belonged to a conservative Presbyterian Church. At each church in California, he served as legal advisor.

A true scholar and prolific author, the author approaches his extensive treatises on spiritual faith from a truly unique perspective. As an accomplished attorney for many years, he advances each quest-to-substantiate through exhaustive research, meticulous analysis, thorough presentation of opposing points-of-view, and indisputable verifications in defining his own interpretations of Christianity and the Bible. In the end, he presents a faithful answer, providing an incomparable bottom-line truth of what is conveyed in the inspired Bible. (Written by K. Atred.)

The Author's Beliefs

The author regards himself today as an evangelical Christian whose doctrine is Sole Christus -- only what the words of Jesus teach -- which includes

  • that we hallow the true name of God -- Yahweh (Matt 6:9);
  • that the "Father dwells in" Jesus (John 14:10, "Father...dwells in me") which renders Jesus Divine;
  • that Jesus died for our sins in fulfillment of the atonement principle of the Torah-Law;
  • that we can go to heaven maimed by repenting of sin or we can go to hell whole, i.e., by not repenting of sin, as Jesus taught (Matt 18:6-9; Mark 9:42-47);
  • that the sin we commit is judged by the Law of which Jesus said "not one jot or title will be removed" until all things are accomplished; and that the "greatest in the kingdom" are those who teach the principles of the Law (Matt 5:17-19) - without man-made additions or subtractions, as the Pharisees wrongfully did. (Matt 15:6);
  • And that as we walk in the light by repentance and obedience, the blood of Christ keeps us clean. (1 John 1:7,9.)

The author believes that only the Law's provisions which apply to "sojourners" or "foreigners" intended to apply to Gentiles, viz., most of the 10 commandments are repeated as applicable to them, e.g., Sabbath observance, and not provisions stated as applicable only to Israelites, e.g., Lev. 12:1-3 (circumcision). See Law Applicable to Gentiles.

The author promotes non-denominationalism and home churches whose only recognized pastor and teacher is Christ in conformance with Jesus' doctrine that He was the "sole teacher" (Matt 23:8, 10) and "sole pastor" (John 10:16.)

The author also exhorts adherents of Jesus to support widows and orphans as the primary beneficiaries of their charity -- a virtue which Jesus exhorted as essential in the Parable of the Sheep & The Goats. Several orphan charities unaffiliated with the author are identified here.

The author does not seek / request or facilitate donations ever for his benefit. Nor does he run a church nor leads any group of believers in a 'movement,' nor desires to do so.

The author seeks only to educate more people to find Christ, and those who find Christ to remain loyal to Him as King Messiah over them. A follower of Christ cannot become allegiant to doctrines from Paul which are not tied directly and exclusively to Christ's words.

The author has made available free online all his materials. For those who seek a printed-book or e-book, the author has made them available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble, but they are not necessary to purchase if one utilizes the online materials.
