Please Note WellIt is not our intent to belittle, unduly criticize, or “bash” anyone who may hold religious or political persuasions or opinions other than our own. Even though we may absolutely and totally disagree with your opinion, we will defend to the death your G-d-given right to hold it. Since this website was originally launched in 1995, we have held the position that We are not “anti-”anybody; we are only pro-Truth [click here for the definition of “Truth”].

We firmly believe that it can be proven with absolute certainty that the Bible, and the Bible only, is the revealed Word of G-d, and is the standard by which all knowledge and opinion must be judged. Information on this website that concerns non-Biblical religious beliefs is provided for the sole purpose of comparing those beliefs with the Revealed Truth of the Bible.

We also attempt to demonstrate how far the true Body of Messiah has drifted from its Jewish origins. We earnestly await the return of Messiah and the “Restoration of All Things” as promised by the prophets. For more on this subject, please CLICK HERE.

As the End-Times (Olam Habah) quickly approaches, each of us is being faced with some very difficult choices. One of these choices is whether or not to defend ourselves from those who would force us to “submit” to the rule of Islam and Allah over every aspect of our daily lives. (The word “Islam” literally means "to submit" or "to surrender" to Allah.) “As for me and my household, we will serve ADONAI!” (Jos 24:15 (CJB) - Show Context)

Our political and religious leaders tell us daily that Islam is a peaceful religion and that the great majority of Muslims want only to live next to us in peace. However, it is expressly forbidden by the Qur'an to accept a non-Muslim as a friend (Sura 3:28), and whoever does so “shall have nothing of Allah” (i.e., cannot, by their own definition, be a true Muslim). If a person claims to believe the Qur'an, they must believe the whole Qur'an, which also says: “Say to those who disbelieve: You shall be vanquished, and driven together to hell; and evil is the resting-place” (Sura 3:12). In Islamic eschatology (the teaching about the future) the ultimate goal of Islam is to kill all Jews and Christians, and to have a one-world Islamic government and religion. Click here for more from the Qur'an. Due to the numerous threats we have received, we have been forced to remove our physical address from the website.

The Great Religions of the World

In order to effectively share the Gospel of Yeshua HaMashiach with a non-believer it is always a good idea to have at least some idea of what that person already believes. Remember that when Rav Sha'ul addressed the people in Athens (Acts 17:16-34) he began his message to them by mentioning that they had in their city an alter to “an unknown G-d.” From that point he was able to tell them that the G-d that they considered “unknown” was the only true G-d. He started from a point in their own belief system and from there was able to share the Gospel with them.

King Solomon once said, “There is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Virtually all of the cults that the Bible-believer will encounter are either based on old heresies that have been dusted off and given a fresh coat of paint to make them look new, or they are simply a Westernized version of one or more of the religions of man.

This section provides a brief summary of the core teachings of many of the world religions and the cults that are derived from them.

Most of the documents in this section of our site are compiled from a series of lectures on the cults and world religions delivered by Prof. Rickard L. Sawyer, ThM, ThD, DMin (Ari Levitt) and Prof. Grady L. Davis, BD, MCM, PhD in the Department of Comparative Religion on the Alameda, California, campus of Golden Gate School of Theology from 1983 to 1985, and in numerous churches in California and Tennessee from 1980 to 1995. Some minor editorial changes have been made to present a more Messianic Jewish viewpoint than that of the original Baptist-oriented presentation.

Please Pardon Our Dust
while we remodel our site
to make it more “User-friendly”

   Victims of Arab Terror

Please note: When we are finished with our current “remodeling” project we will be creating “printer-friendly”
pages for all of our articles and sheorim (lessons). Thank you for your continued patience and support.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to a significant lack of interest in the Messianic Message in our geographical area, Adat B'nei HaMelech has been forced (at least for the foreseeable future) to cease functioning as an active congregation. These adverse circumstances have forced me to take a full-time secular position which will require me to work evenings and weekends for the foreseeable future, precluding group Bible studies due to schedule conflicts. I will, however, continue to operate this website as an on-line ministry for as long as the LORD leads me to do so. As the LORD leads you, your continuing prayers and financial support to offset the on-going web-hosting and other operating costs will be sincerely appreciated. — Ari
