ARE YOU LIVING A LIE ??? OR THE
REAL TRUTH ???

SHOULD YOU INVESTIGATE THE TRUTH
???

‘‘Has your belief system taught you
HOW to think or have you been
taught WHAT to think?’’ Islam
Agnosticism Freemasonry Jews
Muhammad Buddha Allah Rev. Moon
Jesus Wicken Mormon Jehovah
Witness’s Hindu’s Hare Krishna
Atheist Christianity Scientology
Satanism New Age Darwinism /
Evolution Witchcraft......



Have you ever thought for sure
whether you new the real truth
about the religions of the world?
You could be accepting half truths
if you have never investigated the
facts!!! Is what you believe about
your god or higher power a ‘‘lie’’,
a ‘‘fable’’, a ‘‘tradition’’, a
‘‘half truth’’ or is it the
‘‘complete truth’’??? It seems
many religions and higher powers
claim to have the ‘‘complete
truth’’ Can they all be right????
How many religions do you suppose
have a foundation built on’’lies’’
or ‘‘half truth’’ ? What is a
‘‘fable’’? A fable is a story that
is not true or make belief. How can
you be sure what you believe is not
‘‘make belief’’? What is
‘‘tradition’’??? ‘‘Tradition’’ is
when you believe what you believe
only because of what mom believes
and what grandma believes and what
great grandma believed? What is a
‘‘half truth’’? The ‘‘half truth’’
tells half the story or partially
twists the story so the end result
is a lie.
..........................................................................................................
What is ‘‘truth’’? Many religious
beliefs do not have a definition
for truth, they just insist they
have the truth. Truth is an
established or ‘‘for real’’
[proveable] fact. The Christian
Bible according to Jesus disciples
says that truth is......<‘‘I tell
you the truth, we speak of what we
know, and we testify to what we
have seen, but still you people do
not accept our testimony....John
3:11 {this is their first hand
verified experience of Jesus}.
Archeology, history, prophetic
writings and creation itself give
testimony to the truth about Jesus.

..........................................................................................................
Jesus said I am the way, the truth
and the life....John 3:11
..........................................................................................................
Whoever believes in Him is
not condemned, but whoever does not
believe stands condemned already
because he has not believed in the
name of God’s one and only Son
. John 3:18
..........................................................................................................
“He who is not with me is against
me, and he who does not gather with
me scatters.Matthew 12:30
..........................................................................................................
Do you know the REAL truth? Can you
verify what you belief by PROVEABLE
EVIDENCE. Are you aware that the
Christian Bible is the most sold
book in historical time? It was
recorded from generation to
generation by a fool-proof Hebrew
and Greek historical system. Many
people have witnessed the facts
that this holy book records. The
prophecies{prophecy is historical
events which were fortold before
they ever happened} in the Bible
are proof in themselves to the
truth of it’s content. The last
centurie’s discovery of the Dead
Sea Scrolls are accurate evidence
that the Bible contains written
truth.


..........................................................................................................
Has your believe system taught you
HOW to think or have you been
taught WHAT to think? Do you
understand the difference?

Islam, Mormonism, New Age,
Buddhism, Jehovah’s Witnesses,
Hinduism, Rev. Moon, Freemasonry,
Elks Lodge and others can provide
some comfort but no name can take
you to the throne of God except
JESUS. Only the God-Man JESUS
dealt with the sins of men. The
only thing keeping you from knowing
the TRUTH of JESUS is a lack of
SALVATION FAITH {this is a faith
that is mysterious because your
ability to experience this truth
comes only after you accept it
which at that moment JESUS will
contact you}.
..........................................................................................................
This poor man cried and the Lord
heard him. Psalms 34:6
..........................................................................................................
By faith, believing He will answer,
PRAY to JESUS and ask Him to wash
away your imperfections {SIN}, and
ask Him to SAVE your life that you
may live in ETERNAL happiness and
joy with Him. Confess with your
mouth that JESUS is Lord and died
and rose from the dead to wash you
of sin and give you life more
abundantly and believe {FAITH} in
your heart that He has done it for
you. Tell someone that you have
accepted JESUS as your Savior and
you are going to follow Him the
rest of your life. Go to
church and be baptized in the name
of JESUS and discover the leading
of His HOLY SPIRIT to guide you {IN
YOUR INNER MAN} into all truth.
Pray this prayer: JESUS, wash me of
my sins and give me life eternal.
Be Savior and Lord of my life. Be
my Savior so that I can know the
ultimate truth in life and be my
Lord that I may live the rest of my
life for you. Give me your love
and show me that I have truly
become your child by sending the
power of the Holy Spirit in my life
as the evidence of your love and
power. I Attend ‘‘Angelus

I [Michael V. Howell] graduated
from Fuller Theological Seminary
with a M.Div. in Theology with
emphasis on Youth Ministries, Small
Groups, Evangelism and Preaching.
I was raised in the Catholic
Church, have fellowshipped in the
Vineyard Christian Fellowship from
1984 to 1995 and brief association
with Church of God in Christ and
Foresquare. My undergrad degree is
a B.A. in Newspaper Journalism from
Central State University, Edmond,
Oklahoma with experience in Sports
and Feature writing for small
newspapers. I took 1st Place
honors in Sports Feature Writing in
college competition in Oklahoma.
also served three years as a
Quartermaster lieutenant in the
U.S. Army I have gained many but
yet simple understanding,
exhortation of scripture and
interesting testimonial
experiences.

..FOR THE WORD OF THE CROSS IS TO
THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING
FOOLISHNESS, BUT TO US WHO ARE
BEING SAVED IT IS THE POWER OF GOD.
FOR IT IS WRITTEN ‘‘I WILL DESTROY
THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE
CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET
ASIDE.’’ WHERE IS THE WISEMAN?
WHERE IS THE SCRIBE? WHERE IS THE
DEBATOR OF THIS AGE? HAS NOT GOD
MADE FOOLISH THE WISDOM OF THE
WORLD? FOR INDEED JEWS ASK FOR
SIGNS, AND GREEKS SEARCH FOR
WISDOM; BUT WE PREACH CHRIST
CRUCIFIED, TO JEWS A STUMBLING
BLOCK, AND TO GENTILES FOOLISHNESS,
1 COR 1:18-23[EXCEPT 21] EVEN IF
OUR GOSPEL IS VEILED , IT IS VEILED
TO THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING. IN
WHOSE CASE THE GOD OF THIS WORLD
HAS BLINDED THE MINDS OF THE
UNBELIEVING, THAT THEY MIGHT NOT
SEE THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF THE
GLORY OF CHRIST, WHO IS THE IMAGE
OF GOD. 2 COR 4:3-4 God, after He
spoke long ago to the fathers in
the prophets in many portions in
many ways, in these last days has
spoken to us in His Son, whom He
appointed heir of all things
through whom also he has made the
world. Hebrews 1:1-2 But the
natural man does not accept things
of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolish to him, and he cannot
understand them because they are
spiritually appraised. 1 Corth 2:14
