This is the Whole Bible Christian Home Page

(Paul to the Ephesian elders Acts 20:27 NASB95)

A Whole Bible Christian is one who accepts the whole of God's Word as absolute and authoritative truth, reads it on a regular basis, and does all of what it says.  Our Father loves us and saves us by grace through faith without charge, so it is only reasonable for His children to return His love by living according to all of His instructions.  God did not give us a half-hearted effort when He chose to save us; therefore His children should not be half-hearted in their efforts to follow Dad's every word.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all."

(Ephesians 4:4-6 NASB95)

The battle for the Bible in many congregations (church or synagogue) has been lost, in our opinion, because a majority of those who claim to be God's children have rejected some or all of the Scriptures as authoritative and practical.  The church in general has led the way into the present moral disintegration of society by selectively rejecting and reinterpreting The Word as if we can 'take it or leave it' as we choose.  The synagogue, again in general, has participated in this by elevating the Oral Law or Talmud to a position equal to or greater than the Word of God.  Both groups tend to place their own (frequently) extra- and even non-biblical culture and traditions ahead of other people's, while putting God's Ways on the back burner.

The goal of the whole Bible is Jesus the Messiah, so practicing the whole of the Word brings us closer to Him.  When we take in His Word and act on it the Word nourishes us like bread, and indeed it is the Bread of Life.  As we follow each instruction we make another connection to our Father and Messiah, and each other.  The more connections we have the better our understanding of our God, and the flow of the Spirit and spiritual blessings increases without end.  Jesus followed God's Word, and the true meaning of 'What Would Jesus Do' is found in following our Father's Instructions as He did.

The question of 'Must I follow' or 'Am I required to follow' is really a non-issue.  It is curious to pose such questions in the first place.  God loves me; I attempt to return that love as best as I am able in as many ways as He directs.  I don't 'have' to love God and He doesn't 'have' to love me (setting aside the idea that He 'must' love because He 'is' love).  However, as a child in His household or a citizen of His Kingdom, voluntarily accepting His fatherhood over me and His position as my King and Master, it doesn't make any sense to ask if I 'have' to follow His Word.  I am obliged to do what He asks; not because it is 'required' but because it is the relationship I have chosen.  Obligation is one of the main ideas missing in Christianity today.

A cursory check of the web will introduce you to a few different people who refer to themselves as 'whole bible.'  A deeper evaluation of the information presented on their web sites reveals that they are 'whole bible' in name only.  At some point they have a tendency to stop looking at the Word and substitute their own extra-biblical agendas instead.  Some even go so far as to come up with their own translations to support those agendas.

We are not a Hebrew or Jewish Roots ministry because our roots are not Hebrew (language or culture) they are in Jesus the Messiah.  We don't think that Jews have to convert to Christianity, and neither do we think that Gentiles have to convert to Judaism.  Conversions to a culture or way of thinking that are outside the Word are wrong according to the Word.  Perhaps it is closest to consider us 'Bible-ists' (a term that has been used to insult us, but we liked the name) in the sense that we think if God said it we should do it.  But if He didn't say then we shouldn't add to or subtract from His Word by putting our words in His mouth.

Those who are 'part-Bible' limit the instructions they want to follow to certain sections such as the New Testament, or the Psalms and Proverbs, or the first five (Torah or Law) or other combinations of books using 'slice and dice' theology.  But in doing so we believe they rob themselves and those they teach of vital nutrition, health, and help for the believer's daily walk. All of God's Word is meat for all of His children, and is given for the  blessing and benefit of His people, to help us relate and interact with Him and with each other in a manner that is good for us and pleasing to Him.  We acknowledge that some of His Words may apply only to certain people or events, while others are more universal.  This is made clear by the context.  But His Instructions are not to be dismissed merely because they are uncomfortable.  There is nothing wrong with simple obedience.

To find out more about us, click on TWOG Goals, Personal Facts, or Doctrinal Specifics.  The Commentary is full of articles not only by us but by teachers in other ministries, using insights gleaned from years of study to comment on various issues or sections of Scripture.  It is also a pretty complete index of all articles on our site and links to good articles on other sites.

The Study Helps has such things as charts for studying Torah, lists of references, commandments, tables and our recommendations for software.  Theology is a page that has definitions and discussions on, oddly enough, theology and related subjects.  The Interpretation section covers different types of methods or techniques for interpreting the Bible. 

Identity Issues is the place where we have articles relating to the so-called Two House movement and also other identity oriented items.  Whole Bible Community is intended to lay out the parameters of congregational relationships in view of living out the whole Bible.  The Reaching Out section has suggestions for involvement in other needs beyond your family and local congregation.  Where to Buy has some information on sources for buying various articles or publications that are pro-Israel and that you may not be able to find in mainstream sources. 

Be A Berean is not just about an ancient city north of Jerusalem, but a bulletin board-type of learning, debate, and discussion group for biblical issues.  It is a place where you can ask questions, make comments or share information, and connect with other people who share a passion for love and truth.

Inspirational has stories that make us think.  The Humor department was included, as well as the Reverend Twistruth pages, because we need to laugh more.  Christian and Jewish Myths has a listing of common teachings that are not taught in the Word, but float around in Christian or Jewish circles anyway, along with scriptures debunking them.  You can also take a gander at the Frequently Asked Questions page for common questions we have received.

Feel free to browse as you want.  If you print out an article all we ask is that you properly acknowledge the author and the source.  We had to take out our Guest Book because of unscrupulous spammers putting sleazy web site URL's in it, but please use the Contact Us form if you want and just be constructive with criticism.  Thank you for looking us up, and the Father bless you, your family, and your walk together with Him.
