To all of my friends, past, current, present and future, please take a moment to understand the wisdom I have been shown through grace from none but the Lord God. My words may prove harsh, in fact I pray that they are, the better to speak such a message as I bear with all the zeal I possess through Him.

The Kingdom of God is here, and with that realization comes the fact that so few of you are truly looking to Christ. I worry for your salvation, for who wants a friend to suffer the pains of Hell? Even those who claim to hold Christ dear are in the shadows of deceit. You claim to have chosen the Lord and are saved. I demand - yes, demand - in the Lord's name that you silence your blasphemous bleatings, for what power do you hold over God that you chose Him? Yahshua, Jesus the Savior, God in the flesh himself, refutes the statement in the fact that He chose His followers, hand-picked among the world's nations.

So you can hear His message, then you are chosen. If this is so, why do you twist His words around and follow false teachings? Belief alone cannot and will not bring you salvation. Did not the emissaries of Satan reveal their belief of Christ as the Messiah in their acknowledgement of such? I ask you, are the demons and fallen angels saved? No, for Hell was made for the likes of them. Simple belief will fall short of the mark, and through the wilderness will you wander until death comes and you will learn of your failings: the fact that your believing was not supported by faithing, listening, learning and obeying scripture.

I warn you readily that in God's own presence I will deny any ties to all who call me friend, as Christ denounces those who falsely say they are of His flock. Even should I have a wife who proves to be faithless in the Lord, I will shun her rather than be allied to her damnation. If I would treat a woman as dear as that to me in that way, what manner do you think I will treat those I call friend? Without hesitation I will say I do not know you, and I will watch you go into the flames. Right now my heart weeps for the many not of the Way, but then my tears shall be stayed, for God did not choose you, you had the chance to seek Him and you neglected Him. Despise me for bringing this message to you if you must, but seek His light.

To those who claim to already see the path before them, I ask you if you celebrate holidays that hold pagan roots. Do you erect Asherah poles, and call the day you do so the Day of Christ's birth? Repent from that sin, discard your trees and beg for forgiveness with all haste! Christmas and Easter are foreign customs brought to Christianity through the Romans, the corrupt leaders who owned the church for the sake of politics, and held firm still their wicked ways. Why pay the price they will for worshipping foreign gods? Do not be fooled by false, rotten doctrine, for countless times does God demand that we destroy these practices. We only need to look back on those who held these idols dear all throughout the Old Testament. Note that they were destroyed or cursed countless times. Deny the practices of celebrating the winter solstice and spring equinox, for such are these days based on. Deny that path and return to the arms of the God who forgives those who openly repent. He will rebuke you and punish you, because He loves His chosen, but those who accept their correction are wise, and will be saved for their wisdom through grace.

Deny all ways but what is written in scripture. We will stumble and fall but we must not lose sight of God. I would rather stumble a million times and bleed each time for all of my sins, to have my body pay for my countless crimes, to have my soul be uplifted for my faith in Him, than I would live a long, easy life living as I like, the life of flesh, of sin, and pay eternally with body and soul. The world has the power to destroy or save the flesh, and flesh alone. God an save the soul and body, or destroy them as He sees fit. Which way is the way most worthwhile?

Time remains in the moment you are reading this to begin following the Way, though how much time is known to God alone. Do not procrastinate, but start now with your repentance. I will keep you in my prayers, in the hopes God will speak to you and we may meet again in Heaven, rather than we should let our friendship shatter during the days of judgement.

Yours in faith,
John A. Stussy II
