Hi, my name is Mark.
Welcome to A Matter Of Truth.
I admonish everyone who visits my website here at AMatterOfTruth.com to begin their search for the TRUTH by praying the following prayer.
Opening Prayer
Heavenly Father, you know the desire and the intent of my heart; teach me your ways that I may walk in them in all pleasing to you. Search my heart O' God, and if there is any iniquity in me I ask you to cleanse me now and make me whole. Reveal to me my secret faults, and help me to understand the error of my ways. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart always be acceptable in your sight O' Lord for you are my strength and my redeemer.
From your word O' Lord I know that there are many evil seducers and deceivers in the world on every side, not only on the outside of the church but within the church as well. And as the day of the return of your Son Jesus draws closer these deceptions and deceivers will increase and grow even worse.
Therefore, I ask you now Father to give to me wisdom to discern and to know the difference between these deceiving doctrines of devils and these false teachings compared to your word of truth. May this distinction between truth and error be to me as distinguishable as the bright light of the day is to the darkness of the night.
I pray that your Holy Spirit will immediately bear witness with my spirit whether the things I hear or the things I read as being either truth or error. Help to always know the difference between truth and error. Father, I thank you right now that from this day forward that this witness from the Holy Spirit will bear witness with my spirit to everything that I read or hear that I will know in an instant as to whether it is truth or error.
And I also pray that all that which I have already been taught will be made known to me whether it is truth or error. My heart cries out to you to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I desire only to know and teach your pure undefiled word of truth, for your words are pure words O' Lord.
Heavenly Father I pray that everything that I have learned from the time that I was born, and everything that I will learn from this day forward, until the time of your return that is not the truth, that you will make known to me plainly and help me to purge all that is in error from my life. Help me to be that vessel of silver or gold that may be used by you to bring glory and honor unto your Holy name. Help me to renew my mind with your pure and undefiled word of truth so that I may not remain conformed to the patterns of this world, but rather, that I may prove your word and know what is your perfect will for my life.
Father, you have given your Holy Spirit to lead and guide me into all truth. Your word is the truth. So I lift up this Bible, your Holy word, before you right now and ask you to teach me your word. Help me to discern truth from error. You said in your word that if I continue in your word that I would know the truth and that the truth would make me free. So I ask you, Father, to help me always to continue in your word and seek your kingdom every day.
I thank you, Lord, for hearing and answering my prayer this day for I know that you are faithful to confirm your word with signs following. Therefore, I know and I am assured that the evidence of this prayer will begin to take place from this moment on. Thank you, Father, for revealing your word of truth to me in all areas of my life so that I may live in all pleasing to you and help others to come to the knowledge of the truth as well. May all, who hear the teaching of your word of truth, whether your truth comes forth from my lips, or shines forth from the words in which I write, or whether the word of truth comes from any other person, may ALL who hear or read your undefiled word of truth also continue in your word of truth and be found faithful unto the coming day of your Son, Jesus Christ.
I now commit my spiritual growth into your hands from this day forward to keep me in your ways for all of my days. And Father I know and I am assured from your word that you are able to keep all that I commit unto you until the day of the coming, the return of your Son, my Lord, and Savior, Jesus the Christ.
Your word assures me that your Son, Jesus, is the author and finisher of my faith. So I thank you, Father, for writing your word upon my heart and upon my mind. Holy Spirit I yield my spirit, my mind and my body to you that you may lead and guide me into all truth. Help me to crucify the flesh and put my body under the authority of my inner man. And help me to renew my mind with the pure and undefiled word of truth, according to your will and direction. Holy Spirit I ask you to help me to keep both my mind and my body pure from any and all fleshly desires, in order that I may walk in obedience to your guidance every day of my life from this day forward.
I thank you for helping me to take heed to all that I hear, whether this hearing is through the ear, or through the eye, or through feeling and touch. Help me heavenly Father by the leading of your Holy Spirit to guard my hearing in all these areas, so that I may discern your word of truth from any deceitful words of error that would bring harm and hinder my spiritual growth. I also thank you for teaching me how to hear and to keep my heart open to learn continually of your ways. I thank you for the hunger you have placed in my heart for your word. Help me to hide your word in my heart that I may not sin against you.
Heavenly Father, as I learn of you and grow in the revelation of your word and faith help me shine as a light to others so that they may also come to the knowledge of the truth. May my words always be seasoned with salt and grace so that they will minister to those that hear them and bring glory and honor to your name always.
Father your word says that your people are destroyed for lack of knowledge and that if I reject knowledge, then you will also reject me. So I ask you now Lord for the wisdom to discern your knowledge of truth to distinguish your truth from the commandments of men and the doctrines of devils, and that I discern your word of truth from any misguided truth and error.
Father help me never to reject you or your words, so that I will be found to be your good and faithful servant at the coming of your Son, Jesus. Help me not to judge a matter before hearing the WHOLE matter and getting all sides of the matter and then help me to judge all matters correctly in your eyes. Help me, Lord, to judge rightly concerning all things.
I thank you, Lord, for hearing all my petitions and granting all my requests in the name of your Son Jesus, according to 1 John 5:14,15, which ASSURES me that if I ask ANYTHING that is according to your will that you WILL hear me. Your word of truth also assures me that if I know that you hear me that I WILL HAVE the petitions which I have asked of you. This is your written guarantee to me and to ALL who stand upon your word of truth.
1 John 5:14,15 assures us that you O' God always ANSWER our prayers, which are prayed according to your will, and which are being prayed in FAITH without wavering.
1 John 5:14,15.
“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him (Or in you O' God), that, if we ask ANYTHING according to his (Or according to your) will, he HEARS us: (Or then you O' God hear us)
15. And if we KNOW that he HEARS (Or if we know that you O' God hear) us, WHATSOEVER we ASK, we KNOW that we HAVE the petitions that we have desired of him.”
In other words, BELIEVE that God has heard your prayer to know that you HAVE ALL of the petitions that I desire of you O' God, which are according to your Will.
I encourage you, the reader, to take the word of God and PERSONALIZE it as a prayer to Almighty God our Father. The above prayer is based solely on the word of God, therefore according to 1 John 5:14,15 we are ASSURED that God will HEAR and ANSWER this prayer. You have HIS WORD on it!
Dear Reader.
After praying this prayer, then please sign and date it. I urge you to read and reread this prayer often and give Almighty God, the Father thanks for answering your requests.
I also urge you to read the study entitled “THE WHOLE MATTER”, because all of us have been TAUGHT how we believe. And it is not always the case, that, which we have come to believe through the teaching of others is, in fact, the pure undefiled TRUTH of the WHOLE of God's word. It may be that which we have come to believe through the teachings of others is NOT the truth of the whole word of God.
Now we may sincerely believe that which we have been taught is the truth. However, in reality, it MAY be that what you have been taught is NOT the pure and undefiled word of TRUTH of God's whole word or TRUTH, but rather you may have been misguided by teaching that is in error. Now those who have taught you what you have come to believe then you no doubt sincerely believe that those teaching you were and are teaching you the truth.
However, they themselves, the ones teaching you, may have been deceived by others and have not searched the word of God thoroughly to find out whether or not what they were taught is, in fact, the WHOLE TRUTH of God's word, but rather they may have merely repeated or parroted what they have themselves been taught not knowing or realizing what they themselves have come to believe is in fact in error and contradicts the WHOLE word of God.
So I ask you now, are you yourself absolutely sure and know without a doubt that that which you have been taught is the pure undefiled word of TRUTH of the WHOLE word of God? Are you confident enough to base your eternal salvation on what you have been taught by others? All I am asking from you is to take the time to prayerfully hear the WHOLE matter before you judge for yourself that which you have been taught by others as to whether it is, in fact, the truth, or whether it is in error.
If you TRULY desire to know the WHOLE TRUTH of God's word and be saved, then it may be necessary for you to purge from your learning some things that you have been taught, which you now presently hold and truly believe to be the truth, but some of which are in fact the deceitful lies of the enemy coated with a little truth of God's word. Be NOT DECEIVED! Open your heart and mind to the truth or reality that just maybe you have been taught wrong in what you now sincerely believe with all your heart to be the truth.
Do not be deceived into believing that you are ABOVE being able to ever be deceived. May God bless you richly in your search for the WHOLE TRUTH as you read the studies.
Search the WHOLE word of God daily for yourself in order to prove what you have been taught is, in fact, the pure undefiled TRUTH of the WHOLE word of God.
Also please be sure to view my teaching videos on YouTube at my channel name AMATTEROFTRUTH and here on this website under the video section.
Here is the LINK to the MENU list of **ALL of the studies** that I have on my new website at AMatterOfTruth.
The RED TITLE WITHIN the Studies themselves will take you to my Google Docs page to read the SAME studies on a WHITE BACKGROUND page WITH COLOR HIGHLIGHTING, which is great for STUDYING the Bible!
And the red TITLES with ** the number 0 ** between the double stars are SUBJECT heading MENU lists of LINKS to studies on my website.
Below at the bottom of the page is an explanation of the four colors that I use for highlighting words and phrases.
Also, if you are NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE that you are saved, then please read all the studies under the heading ** E-0 What MUST I Do to be SAVED? **
And if you are a Calvinist Christian, then I implore you to read the studies under the heading ** Cc-0. Is CALVINISM BIBLICAL? **
Now, if you already know all there is to know concerning being RECONCILED to God or ** What MUST We Do to be SAVED! **
And you already know all that you MUST do in order to receive eternal life in the world to come.
And if you already know what NOT to do AFTER you are reconciled to God concerning WHICH Covenant to keep.
In other words, if you already know NOT keep the WORKS of the law contained in ORDINANCES in the commandments under the OLD Covenant that Jesus ABOLISHED on the cross to keep Jesus, our NEW Covenant, as our ** TRUE Sabbath! **
Then there are still many other things yet to learn that will help keep you strong in your faith and help you to continue to grow stronger in your faith and closer to God.
I have studies on the subjects ** G-0. How to PRAY and STUDY the BIBLE! ** and about ** H-0. DIVINE HEALING! **
And I have studies on the second coming of Jesus under the heading at the top of the page called ** J-0. PROPHECY the COMING of Jesus! **
And I have many studies covering the many false teachings about how to not be deceived by those false teachings.
At the top of my homepage, there are subjects or categories which contain compiled lists of **ALL the Studies ** I have written on that particular subject.
Or you can scroll down to the MORE dropdown menu list to find those studies as well.
But if you know the subject it may be under, then it might be easier to use the links at the top of the page.
I will do my best to keep the lists of studies updated as I ADD NEW studies in that category.
Please read all the studies linked within this study and all the studies linked below.
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
More studies are coming in this SHORTER Biblical Unitarian view of who Jesus is according to the WHOLE word of God.
If you have a PARTICULAR verse of Scripture that you would like to know the sound Biblical Unitarian meaning, then please email me at MarkatAMatterOfTruth@Gmail.com and let me know.
For further and more in-depth studies on this subject of Jesus being created to STILL the enemies of Yahweh, please read the studies called D-25. A NEW LOOK at JOHN 1:1, In the BEGINNING!
And also read the study called D-28. The PRE-ADAMIC LUCIFERIAN FLOOD!
At the top of my homepage, there are subjects or categories which contain compiled lists of ** ALL Studies! ** I have written on that particular subject. So, if a link within a study is broken, then click on ** ALL Studies! ** to find the suggested study.
Or you can scroll down to the MORE dropdown menu list to find those studies as well.
Thanks again for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
And again, for ALL of the studies on the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus, please click on the subject heading ** D-0 The BIBLICAL UNITARIAN VIEW of Jesus! **
And for the SUBJECT on the true foundation of the church, please click on the subject heading ** C-0 The TRUE FOUNDATION of the Church! **
This way you can just send ONE link to those who you want to share the TRUE sound Biblical FOUNDATIONAL teachings of the church that Jesus and his Apostles taught in the first century church.
Your brother in our Lord Jesus Christ,
Brother Mark.
My heartfelt prayer is that all Christians RETURN to the TRUE FOUNDATION of the church that is taught by the very Apostles of Jesus in the first century.
So let us all come into the UNITY of the faith and return to what Jesus and his Apostles taught us in SIMPLICITY in the New Testament.

COLOR CODING EXPLANATION of HIGHLIGHTING!
Please notice the studies I write, I have three options, Bible studies on a light blue page background, Bible studies on a white page background, and on my Google Docs page, I have Bible studies on a white page highlighted colors for emphasis, which is great for STUDYING the Bible.
To find my color highlight version of any study, simply click on the RED TITLE.
I basically use FOUR main colors when highlighting in my Bible studies.
Each of the four colors have a coded representation or meaning.
Below is a list of the four colors and what each color represents.
#1. The ORANGE highlighting refers to Yahweh, Almighty God the Father as being the ONE TRUE God in ONE person.
#2. The YELLOW highlighting refers to Jesus, the Son of God, DURING the days of his FLESH.
In other words, the color yellow represents the HUMAN Son of God BEFORE his God and Father highly exalted the Son of MAN, Jesus.
I also use the color yellow just as an emphasis to draw your attention to key words and phrases.
#3. The BLUE highlighting refers to Jesus AFTER God highly exalted His human Son and CROWNED him with glory and honor to be MADE Lord after the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:36.
God made or SET His human Son on His throne as His King and Lord to rule in PEACE over the earth for 1000 years in the world to come.
The light blue color also represents TRUTH.
#4. The GREEN highlighting refers to FALSE doctrines of devils.
I use the color green in most cases to draw attention to things that the word of God teaches AGAINST.
In other words, I use the green color to point out things in the Scriptures that do NOT FIT or do NOT AGREE with the man-made church doctrines.
But in SOME cases, the color green is for emphasis only.
In other words, when I want words like AND, ALSO, FOR, and THAT to stand out in a phrase that is highlighted in all yellow, then I will also use the green and or blue color just to emphasize a word.
With my color coding being explained, here is a list of LINKS to each of the in-depth Bible studies on that subject.
For example, here is a link to the SUBJECT heading called ** E-0. WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? **
The RED Title of the subject HEADING MENU list of Studies with LINKS will always be placed the between two stars like so, **E-0. Subject Heading Menu List of Studies**.
I do this to let you know that the RED LINKS will always take you to my Google Docs page to read the studies in the COLOR HIGHLIGHTED format.
Each SUBJECT Heading MENU List of Studies is coded with a LETTER of the alphabet followed by a ZERO.
And then, each study listed under that subject heading will have a number in the ORDER that I suggest them to be read.
For you see, each study builds or adds more understanding to the previous study above it.
Thus, learning God’s word is kind of like learning math or arithmetic, you need to learn the BASICS before you can know HOW to solve the more complicated mathematical problems.
