Who wrote the Book of Hebrews? Who was the author of Hebrews?
… The letter closes with the words “Grace be with you all” (Hebrews 13:25), which is the same closing found in each of Paul’s known letters (see Romans 16:20; 1 Corinthians 16:23; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Galatians 6:18; Ephesians 6:24; Philippians 4:23; Colossians 4:18; 1 Thessalonians 5:28; 2 Thessalonians 3:18; 1 Timothy 6:21; 2 Timothy 4:22; Titus 3:15; and Philemon 25). However, it should be noted that Peter (1 Peter 5:14; 2 Peter 3:18) used similar—though not identical—closings. It is also possible that it was simply customary to close letters like this with the words “Grace be with you all” during this time period.
Church tradition teaches that Paul wrote the book of Hebrews, and until the 1800s, that issue was closed. However, though a vast majority of Christians—both and scholars and the laity—still believe Paul wrote the book, there are some tempting reasons to think otherwise.
The bride makes herself ready.
5:45 The word God gave Wes for this meeting: “My promises are not guarantees.”
Hebrew 6:11-12 We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end, that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.
“You can have a promise from God and never see its fulfillment because of your own inaction and your own lack of faith and perseverance related to the promises.”
“Are you ready to enter into the fulfillment and make the changes that are necessary to lay hold of the promises.”
33 “Are we responding to Him with quick obedience?”
“He will not do it all. You cannot do His part. He will not do your part.”
“The reason we cultivate that fellowship with the Holy Spirit is so we can obey Him. …even if it is difficult. We cannot have the fullness of power unless we have surrendered our lives fully to His leadership in every area of our lives.”
“Look at your own life, and say ‘Lord, where am I resisting Your leadership?’ … It’s so easy to point at others. … I want to live in nearness to You. I want to walk under the leadership of the Holy Spirit that I might walk in the power as Jesus walked in the power of the Holy Spirit.”
“Don’t despise the day of small beginnings. … Use what He gave you. Step out in the day of small things, and He will multiply it as you step out and release it to others.”
“He will not do your part. We cannot do His.”

I’m very excited about this, and hope the healed Bibles, by replacing the removed verses becomes a trend!
My previous article: Progress! The Gideon Bible is now an ESV plus the removed verses including Romans 8:1b!
– –
Romans 8:1 in a regular ESV Bible:
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:1 in the Gideon’s ESV Bible:
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh (but according to the Spirit).
ESV Gideons edition explains what happened:
About 30 years ago, I saw this from on top of Masada, and asked others what this city ruin was. No one knew. It definitely looked like the ruin of a city to me.
– –
9:10 Gomorrah is below Masada, next to the Dead Sea. Sodom is at the southern end of the Dead Sea.
14:35 Sulfur balls, brimstone that landed on the city — millions that rained down, burning even rock. Tested to be 96% sulfur plus phosphorus.
They even found parts of human skeletons, burnt and gnarled.
31:00 Drone footage from below Masada
34:35 Thermal ionization from the extreme heat — “exceeding 2,000°F” (Ron @ min. 53:40)
41:05 The ziggurat
42:50 The sphynx with Masada behind and above it
54:00 Regarding all of this ash, Ron quotes part of this text from Malachi 4:
“For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up,” says Yahweh of Armies, “that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall. 3 You shall tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make,” says Yahweh of Armies.

Ron Wyatt, his sons and wife describe the adventure! Ron has since died.
When Ron Wyatt 1st went to Turkey to search for the boat-shaped object he had seen 17 years earlier in Life Magazine, he had no idea where to look. He didn’t speak the language. All he knew was that it was in the mountains. Then, one simple prayer, as he and his 2 sons entered the area in a taxi, led to incredible discoveries, all connected to Noah and the ark. Ron and his sons, Danny and Ronnie tell the story and some new information is shared, especially at the end. Originally made for Warriors for Christ, it is long, and I thank you for watching and hope you enjoy!- Mary Nell (Mrs. Ron Wyatt) Lee.
Genesis 6:15 says the ark shall be 300 cubits, which is what this artifact is in Egyptian cubits.
Acts 7:22 “And Moses (author of Genesis) was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians….” Was raised as an Egyptian.
This boat artifact is exactly 515 feet long!
40:15 Noah’s wife’s grave explained. She was a giant. Her sarcophagus was 18 feet long. [Elsewhere it’s said she was 15 feet long. Kent Hovind explains why in his creation series.] Gold and jewels in her coffin were sold by the “Christians” for $100 million on the black market in Istanbul.

“A man who started to paint his front porch while his house was on fire would be considered an idiot. Is the picture overdrawn when I say that this is what the modern church is doing?” – Leonard Ravenhill
It’s not because of Covid. They’re burned out because it’s fake — not real worship. God requires worshipers worship in Spirit and in truth, which requires holiness, being right with God and others, like Paul always practiced (Acts 24:16). Then God responds with His love and glory, and it’s never boring, dull or unfulfilling.

Worship Leaders Hit with Pandemic Burnout
Music ministry has always been demanding, but the past two years have made it unsustainable for some.
|
JANUARY 26, 2022
Dianna Holden had been looking for an opportunity to step down as her church’s worship leader for a few years. After 27 years of serving, Holden felt like she was drawing from an empty well. … She didn’t have any reserves left.
As winning athletes must, Paul exercised self-control in all things, brought his body into submission so he would win an incorruptible crown, making sure he would not be rejected.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27:
Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win. Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible [eternal life in heaven]. I therefore run like that, not aimlessly [focused]. I fight like that, not beating the air, but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
Great news! The Gideons new ESV-based Bible is now one of the most reliable, keeping the ESV’s correct translation of John 3:36, and correcting their removal of Romans 8:1b — two key texts for understanding salvation — to be free!
Bible Gateway Removes The Passion Translation
Bible Gateway, a popular site that contains a wide range of Bible versions, has removed The Passion Translation. The Passion Translation (TPT) has attracted controversy because it is a very loose “paraphrase” rather than a translation of the translation, that contains a theological bias.
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. – Romans 8:1 MEV
“I did an interview with Will Knowland about sex, women, repentance, and modern culture.”
Too soon to tell what the longterm effects will be. Certainly, some have been injured. Very interesting!

“The talk I’ve been doing around the country is the spiritual ramifications of the Covid shot. And that’s really heavy on my heart. … I really believe that there are strong ramifications to what this Covid shot does to our genetics as a genetic modification technology, that our God given genes…. These Covid shots are actually going in and snipping these sulfide bonds, and removing Yahweh from our genes. When you do all the spiritual, Biblical texts that say ‘our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit,’ and we volunteered to contaminate it. … I think that those people who’ve taken the shot, and look at all the ramifications, it’s going to become a spiritual revival…. People need to get back to God.
These are unusual days
We’re finding ourselves in a whole other life
So let’s be the ones who have changed
And speak only words that can bridge the divide
Hold on, hold on, the timing is right
To lay down the anger and leave it behind …
Tragically, many pastors today are falsely rejecting God’s precious gift of praying in tongues because they say it’s not exactly like what happened in Acts 2, when many foreigners were in Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, and could hear the newly Spirit-filled Christians speaking in their own languages. “So this is always the way it’s supposed to happen or it’s not Biblical tongues,” pastors say.
Paul explains God’s gift of praying in tongues to God privately, to be free:
1 Cor. 13:1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love….
1 Cor. 14:1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries. 3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation. 4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly. 5 Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages [everyone could pray in tongues], but rather that you would prophesy [during public church services]. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.
On December 27, 2020, we were given the opportunity to write on the unfinished main auditorium’s walls and floors. The roof collapsed in 2012. About 25 feet from here, what my Bible school teachers Jerry Wilkinson and Frank Gularte had written more than 40 years ago is still there.
I wrote this blueprint for revival so it would happen this year, having been trying since the ’80s. The response has been total silence. So now I’ll post it here exactly 1 year later.
NOTE: “No condemnation” in Romans 8 requires walking according to the Spirit, like Paul: “I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and *men*.” (Acts 24:16)

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him. – James 1:12
Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him. – John 14:23
The Health Benefits of Masturbation
Matt Fradd is the author of Delivered: True Stories of Men and Woman Who Turned from Porn to Purity.
..there are no health associations when it comes to masturbation, and it instead has negative effects. For instance, men who masturbate more tend to have more prostate abnormalities, have less of an ability to recover from ED, and tend to have more signs of depression.
In short, we can say this:
- There is no documented health problems associated with not masturbating.
- Masturbation does not have the same kind of health benefits that intercourse does.
- Masturbation, in specific ways, can be shown to be unhealthy.
I would like to add that if we feel guilt because they hurt someone, we can’t just “let that go,” acting like things are okay when they’re not. The Holy Spirit is Who is making us feel guilty, because we are — until we reconcile — TO BE FREE!
Paul learned how to be FREE from condemnation, walking according to the Spirit:
“Herein I also practice ALWAYS having a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENSE toward God and MEN.” (Acts 24:16)
We can’t fight God.

A friend whom I attended Bible School with in the ’80s is reading John Bevere’s book, Thus Saith The Lord: How to know when God is speaking to you through another. Thankfully, she recognized this paragraph as being so important that she transcribed it from chapter three, “The True Prophetic Ministry I”:
Many of the deceived even now attend church and feel they’re ready for Jesus’ return. Not unlike the multitude in John the Baptist’s time, they comfort themselves with their church attendance, tithing record, ability to speak in tongues, or ability to flow in other gifts. They feel certain God is obligated to accept them because they once prayed a sinner’s prayer, though they have yet to submit to the Lordship of Jesus. They only obey when it is convenient or doesn’t conflict with their schedule or agenda. If obedience to the Master interferes with their pleasure, they casually ignore His leading, claiming ‘the grace of God.’ They may believe they are justified, but are they? Could they be the lukewarm church Jesus confronts in Revelation, which finds confidence in a false grace (Rev. 3:14-22)? Unfortunately, this condition is further propagated by false prophets and teachers who tell them they are in right standing with God.
Telling people what they want to hear at the expense of what they need to hear weakens the church.
