Gateway To Jesus Ministries - Unbiased Bible Studies.
I urge you to read this introduction FIRST, before going to the MAIN MENU below for the individual studies to see what the Bible really says about what you believe. It’s important that you know the purpose of these studies.
Are you at the point in your life that you REALLY need to know the truth, and are trying to understand Ggod's Word and your beliefs? Are you confused by biased interpretations of Scripture, and the opinion of men in your church, about teachings and beliefs you acquired over the years that don’t align with the plain words in Scripture? Can you trust Gods literal Words, or should you depend on your church to interpret His Words and tell you their opinion of God's real meaning?
Here are some examples of subjects that are addressed in my studies on what the Bible really says. Don’t believe me and My opinion. It's no different than the opinion of your church leaders and teachers. Believe words God ACTUALLY SAYS, and no one else! I’ll simply show you the exact Scriptures that plainly state words God says and you can see it for yourself with your own eyes with no interpretation, no biased opinion, no denominational spin, just God’s plain words. You are free to accept or reject God words and the things He actually says about these subjects.

Curious? I know I was when I first asked myself what the Bible really says about teachings I believe? It’s funny how Satan works with us through our churches. On any important truth the devil tries to get you to stop too short, or go too far, by listening to the false human reasoning and biased interpretation of God’s Word by men. When you learn how to actually study the Scriptures yourself you won't get fooled with false interpretations based on denominational church bias. I encourage you to personally study and see what the Bible really says about your beliefs. See with your own eyes the simple and plain truth in the Word of God, and question your churches teachings on these subjects that may be false.
It's all quite simple! Go directly to the source of knowledge and truth and see words God Himself actually says in His Word. That’s it. Today you can learn how you do not need to blindly follow unreliable teachings of your church, or just accept the word of some fallible mortal human being who wrote a commentary or study. You don’t need some priest, preacher or minister to interpret through their own bias, words God plainly says in Scripture, to understand things God wants you to do, or not do, in your life! The Good Book is called "God's Word" for a reason. Words in there are literally HIS SPOKEN WORDS! Most of the time they are plainly written and we just need to listen to them and believe them without all the complicating reasons given by fallible men in our churches to convince us that words God says do not apply to us! It usually does! 99% of the time it requires no explanation by “men” to underestand “Gods" true meaning.!
The studies below compares what the Bible really says, God's actual words, to teaching we hear from our churches. Some reinforce what we already believe that is true and are intended for non-Christians. Others plainly show the truth spoken by God as opposed to what we have been taught or just believe. See words the Scriptures actually say, plainly written, without ANY interpretation, denominational bias, church spin, or human reasoning, concerning common false church doctrines and false teachings. These studies just show God literally speaking to us in His inspired Word. In these studies, find out the surprising truth. You can learn about some false Christian doctrines, teachings and beliefs that are NOT supported by the God's actual words. See with your own eyes, then ask, does the Word of God ACTUALLY say things I personally believe? Is His Word more reliable than the enlightened interpretation of Scripture by mere fallible men in my church? God's Word is definitely the only reliable source for uninterpreted truth!
READ THIS STUDY FIRST. It will help you better understand the rest of them.

Is God judging America with catastrophic disasters as a warning of His soon coming final catastrophic judgment on the USA? Is He rendering serious judgment against the United States today for our every increasing sins. We sin in many cases because we do not understand the Bible. Our Creator is now warning America with ever more powerful judgment for us kicking Him out of our liberal, watered-down, churches, that do not teach doctrines the Bible says about obeying Him. God is judging us with destruction and record breaking catastrophes for all of the horrible sins that have become so common place and accepted as "normal" in the United States. Judgment will be coming even more for not believing what Gods Word says and not being in alignment with His WILL about doctrines about Sunday rest, celebrating pagan holidays like Halloween, Easter and Christmas, tithing, lying, and divorce. Have you looked around the U.S. these days? Have you seen the signs in the news showing we are getting closer and closer to total destruction of our country? Is God judging America with major disasters now? These ever increasing destructive events are just a warning of the catastrophic judgment from the Lord that is coming upon us in full blown power very soon. Learn more here!
Is God Judging America With Record Judgment Disasters
When you first learned how to study the Scriptures did your church teach you to question everything, to prove it is true? Most believers just assume the doctrinal beliefs and teachings they have are actually true and reliable, straight from the Word of God. Most Christians ever look deeply into Scripture and see if it does actually say certain things about some of our beliefs, in plain, uninterpreted words. They seldom take the time to PROVE the doctrines and teachings they believe are actually supported by the words God literally says in plain language. They don't ask themselves, does my church teach errors? Almost every person believes the erroneous doctrines and teachings learned from their church and family when they were young. They were never encouraged to learn how to actually study the Bible themselves to find the truth.
In the studies above you learned how to study Scripture, and saw with your own eyes God's literal words that DO NOT actually support anything about heaven as you may already believe, or believers lying and deceiving people. The reliable truth is plain to see about the question of Sabbath or Sunday as the day of rest, and people giving God His tithe. Most people don't believe the adage, "give God what is right, not what is left". You found out the actual truth about holidays like Christmas, Easter, and Halloween, the Holy Spirit, homosexual relationships, and getting divorced. All questions about a Rapture of believers to heaven, having eternal security once they are saved, the reasons for keeping all ten commandments, and today being the only day for everyone in the world to be saved, were ALL answered with the plain reliable Word's actually spoken by your Creator. If America gets in alignment with God's Word and obeys Him He may have mercy on America and spare us from total disaster. At the very least, if YOU do all the He says YOU and your family may be personally spared from the destruction that will hit our country.
Does Your Church Teach False Christian Doctrines? You are free to continue to hear and believe the false teachings inspired by Satan, that are biased and interpreted by men in every denomination and religion, or you can actually look at the Scriptures, seeing for yourself the plain words that will help you get 100% right with your Father and Creator.
Today you have had the opportunity to see the answer to the question, "what the Bible really says" about a variety of teachings you may have believed for years. Will you decide to obey the commandments and laws of the Lord, or will you continue to believe things you have seen for yourself in His Word that are simply false? Consider today with an open mind, the simple truth from Scripture about resting on the Sabbath, going to heaven, divorce, the Holy Spirit, telling lies, a 10% tithe, observing Easter, Christmas, and Halloween, the Rapture, Gay relationships, being "Once Saved Always Saved", now being the only day of salvation, and believers keeping all ten commandments? Will you believe your Creators reliable Word or will you continue to believe your church? Are we taught errors by fallible preachers who can make mistakes. I have simply explained how and when the differences in understanding occurred. Fallible ministers can actually misinterpret the Bible. Fallible Priests have denominational bias. Fallible human beings can actually be wrong, but God is never wrong! He spoke His Word in the Scriptures. Now it's up to you to make a personal decision to listen to the truth, or continue to follow the devil's lies. It's your choice for all eternity!
Gateway To Jesus Ministries is a personal non-denominational Internet Ministry with no affiliation with any church. After originally being seminary trained, I have spent 55 years unlearning the errors taught by most churches, and then learning how to study the Scriptures without any denominational or church interpretation, bias, or spin, to find the simple truth concerning common beliefs held by many believers. The older I get the more God shows me how wrong my early seminary study years really were. I hope you have found these studies helpful in your own search for the truth of Scripture as you study with an open mind and an open heart.
