About 27 years ago, an old man shouted at me in the face saying: “You don’t believe in the cannon of scripture!” I wonder if he gets to heaven, will he shout at Jesus in the face, or Peter, or Paul, or James, or Jude, etc. All of them quote scriptures that are not in the Bible, or maybe he doesn’t know the Bible good enough to realize that. Or maybe he was so full of hatred that he didn’t know what he was doing. I was about to join the church he was in, but I never went back. I am tired of hatred. I prefer love.

About 1,600 years ago the Romans made the cannon of scripture, so does that mean I must go backwards about 1,600 years to fit into churchianity? To me it feels like I must quit driving a car and start riding a donkey! Actually, some church people are like that, and they don’t drive cars.

Because of the things that the Holy Spirit has taught me, I have gone way beyond the Bible.

Beloved, I had a vision of the coming of Jesus back in 1977, and the Holy Spirit said to me: “The Lord cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones.” Jude was quoting from the writings of Enoch, so to my way of thinking the Holy Spirit put his stamp of approval on the writings of Enoch. Many years later I came across the writings of Enoch, and have some of them in my possession. Enoch says some very important things. For example, he explains where the demons come from.

In 1995 I had a dream where the Holy Spirit showed me the names: “Jannes and Jambres.” Those names are not in the Old Testament, yet Paul mentions them in 2 Timothy 3:8, and he is quoting from a different Bible! When Paul says “All scripture” in verse 16, he does not mean the same Bible as any of the Bible producers make. Nobody has the right Bible. How can the man of God be ‘perfect’ if he doesn’t have all the right scriptures?

Many years later I found the names ‘Jannes ans Jambres’ in the Book of Jasher, which is mentioned twice in the Bible. (Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18) So how come the people who make the Bibles don’t put the Book of Jasher in our Bibles? They are stuck on the Romans. Maybe they are scared of being burnt at the stake or something. That’s what happened in the old days when people didn’t agree with the Romans.

Beloved, I am just following the leading of the Holy Spirit, and I am sorry if I offend people. Jesus knew that healing the sick people on the Sabbath day offended the religious people, but he kept doing it anyway. God blessed the Sabbath day (Exodus 20:11), and the greatest blessing that anyone can receive is to be healed. Lots of millionaires have died from sicknesses, and their millions of dollars could not buy them their healing. So healing is an even greater blessing than money!

Many years ago I read lots of ancient writings, so I don’t think the same as other people. There is a whole lot more to everything than what we have in our Bibles. I am just searching for the truth because I have been taught many things by church people and ministers of religion that are not the truth. Jesus said that he is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6), and that the Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth. (John 14:17)

Actually, the verse that caused this big problem with that old man, was found in Colossians 4:16, where Paul says: “And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.”

So Paul wrote a letter to the church in Laodicea, but I have never heard it read in any church, because it is not in anybody’s Bible. So I thought I would be fulfilling Paul’s words by reading it in a church. It is not my fault that the people who make the Bibles don’t put it in their Bibles.

I did it as part of a sermon I was doing, because Jesus refers to the church in Laodicea in Revelation chapter three. Beloved, Jesus said some very important things to that church. If we want to make it through the pearly gates one day, I think we should obey the words of Jesus.

Jesus said that if we are ‘lukewarm’ he will spit us out of his mouth. I wrote a song about that in 1966. It is called: “Don’t sit on the fence.”
