Introduction to Victorious Life Ministries

Victorious Life Ministries Posted on by

As our name states, the purpose of this site is to assist G-d’s People in living a victorious life. Of course, this begs the question: What is a victorious life and who makes that determination? To answer this question, I refer you to the New Covenant book of the Revelation to John1:

“They defeated him because of the Lamb’s blood and because of the message of their witness. Even when facing death they did not cling to life” (Complete Jewish Bible, Rev. 12:11).

So, the victory is complete when we victoriously stand before the Throne of G-d, and He tells us:

“Excellent! You are a good and trustworthy servant. You have been faithful with a small amount, so I will put you in charge of a large amount. Come and join in your master’s happiness!” (Matt. 25:21).

With that established, I’ll get to the meat of this site. You are here, because you have questions, and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) has brought you here. There are a multitude of questions that religion does not answer, and, yes, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are religions as much as Hinduism, Buddhism, and all such are. However, no acceptable teaching (doctrine or tenet) can be established on only one scripture or witness account, so all answers, here, will be substantiated or supported by a minimum of two scriptures and/or witness testimonies.

Here, again, we have issues to resolve. Can we believe ANY English “translations” of either the Hebrew or Christian Bible? Are you aware that each Bible “translation” into English MUST be in different English words from other Bible “translations?” This is required because, even though the original manuscripts are ancient and cannot be copyrighted, the English “translations” are not the original and they both can be and are copyrighted. Therefore, each new “translation” must not infringe on the copyrights of the other, existing “translations.”

So, why do I enclose the word “translation” with quotes? Because they are not true translations. They are interpretations! And what are those interpretations based on? They are based on the doctrines or teachings of the people who interpret them. So, do you want to learn the doctrines and interpretations of specific groups of men, or do you want to learn the Word of G-d from the earliest manuscripts that we can locate? This site is based on the latter: The earliest manuscripts and the most accurate meanings of the words written in them.

Questions I answer will include but are not limited to the following. As I get them completed, you will be able to hover your cursor over a question to expand it for a brief answer and a link to the corresponding article with the full answer to that question:

Live Guilt Free … Forever!

Seeking answers and solutions?

You will live forever. We all will. That means that this life is only the beginning, and the death of our earthly body is not the end. The question, then, is where will you live forever? (You can know, right now.)

The answer to that question is determined by you. Have you hurt people? Have you lied to people or stolen from them or gossiped about them? Have you violated G-d’s* Rules? Do you even know what G-d’s Rules are? Whether you know them or not, you can be forgiven. (You can be forgiven, right now.)

Almost everyone knows right from wrong behaviors, actions, and speech. Most humans have what is called a conscience and are given training by parents and educators—and sometimes by their local community and their peers—about proper ways to act and interact with others in society. Such training is often based on G-d’s instructions, and, as they are learned, they are written on people’s hearts. Even though such people may have never heard of G-d’s Instruction Manual—Moses’s Torah—they do what it requires because it is written into their hearts and minds. That is what G-d will base His Judgement of them on: Whether their behavior and actions have complied with what they know is right and wrong. That is what Apostle Paul wrote in the second chapter of his letter to believers in Rome: His letter we call “Romans.”

If a person violates G-d’s Rules, it is called “sin.” Sin simply means “to miss” or “go wrong” in the Hebrew language and to “miss the mark” in the Greek language. It means to miss G-d’s instructions or His requirements, which are sometimes called “Commandments.” (You can be forgiven, right now.)

If a person knows G-d’s Torah and His Rules, but violates them knowingly, G-d’s Lessons become more intense and more difficult. Try not to be one of those.
