He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. (John 7:18)
by Brian Shilhavy
I do not think I am exaggerating when I say that a significant portion of the world’s population is traumatized today, since the most recent dump of the Epstein files, while still not complete, reveals so much about the character of the leaders who run the world today, from politicians to business leaders to religious leaders.
The lies continue to pour out from those exposed in the Epstein files, especially from the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who continues to try and make this a partisan issue.
The one question I see people asking over and over again is, who can we trust?
Jesus actually taught his disciples who to trust, by determining who was true, and who was not, based on the evidence of their motives.
Jesus spoke these words in the context of the Satanic Jews calling him a “liar”.
The Jews were amazed and asked,
“How did this man get such learning without having studied?” (Human Superior Intelligence Network [1])
Jesus answered,
“My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.
If anyone chooses to do God’s will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.
Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?
If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing.
My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.
Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.
John chapters 7 and 8.
Every single human being is created in the image of God. Every baby born into this world is a unique person who can grow up to know God, and choose to follow him and receive instructions from him, to determine their life’s true purpose.
The people who are true are the ones who seek the will of God, and not their own personal desires. They know God.
Those who choose to be part of the world system, which belongs to Satan, seek the things this world has to offer to try and become successful by the world’s standards and values.
They have no problem lying and withholding justice, if it benefits them and those they congregate with.
Now, in the verse I quoted above from John 7:18 is from the 1984 New International Version of the English translation of the Bible.
People frequently ask me which English version of the Bible is best, and which one I use.
But there is no clear answer to this question, as ALL of the English language translations of the Bible have problems, and the best way to study the Bible is by looking at several translations, and then looking up the Greek words and seeing their full usage, and how they are used in other passages.
In the passage quoted above where it says “a man of truth“, the word “man” is actually not in the original text, and in the Greek language many pronouns are used that can be either masculine or feminine.
Here is the New American Standard Bible (NASB) translation that does not use the word “man” but still keeps the masculine pronouns:
“The one who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.” (John 7:18)
In the electronic Bible program that I use (e-Sword [2]), we can look up the underlying Greek words for the NASB translation. Here is a screenshot from that program for the word “himself” where we can see the Greek word, its definition, and how many times it is used:
As you can see, the base Greek word that is translated “himself” in the NASB, can be used to refer to either gender, or to the neutral “it”.
In the English language, we do not have clear non-gender pronouns (“it” typically is NOT used for people) unless they are in the plural, such as “they”, “them,” etc. where the gender is not specified.
Since I believe that every person is uniquely created in the image of God, I am obviously NOT promoting “transgenderism” here, but am rather showing that when it comes to evaluating whether a person is true or not, that it equally applies to women as well as men.
Women are equal with men when it comes to salvation and knowing God, and they are equally guilty as well when they seek their own glory, rather than the glory of the one who created them and sent them into this world.
We have a lot of women in the political realm in this administration, such as “Lyin’ Karoline” who spews forth lies almost every day from the White House, to Kristi Noem, whom I have in the past referred to as Jezebel. They are all part of Trump’s political harem where most of the women serving Trump must be attractive and sexually appealing, and apparently liars.
Returning to the verse from John chapter 7, where Jesus defines who is the person of truth, let’s look at the word in the Greek that is the opposite of “true” that we find in people.
In the NIV84 translation they write “nothing false“, and in the NASB they write “no unrighteousness“.
The Greek word is ἀδικία (adikia). Thayer’s Greek dictionary writes this of its usage:
- injustice, of a judge
- unrighteousness of heart and life
- a deed violating law and justice, act of unrighteousness
Here is how this same word is translated in Romans 9:14:
What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!
Now that the pedophiles who run this world have been exposed for all to see, we must be prepared for what comes next, because Satan will not take this lying down. His minions are exposed now by the light of the truth, and he will surely attempt to plunge everyone into darkness in an attempt to continue his work.
War seems to be imminent in the Middle East, and America is very rapidly becoming a militarized police state. The Satanic Jews are preparing for their next move.
People you thought your whole life you could trust, will now start betraying you if they are seeking their own glory, rather than the glory of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God. It is already happening in my own life.
Be true to the one who created you and sent you into this world, by continuing to shine the light into dark places, and expect the rest of the world to hate you and try to kill you, just as they did to Jesus.
Only the ones who are true will be saved in the end.
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.
Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
This is my command: Love each other.
If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.
As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. (John 15:16-19)
