Subject: Envy Brings Hatred and False Accusations!

“Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before envy?” [Proverbs 27:4]

A major problem with a good many people is to desire to have something that is possessed by another. They envy someone’s wife, their house, their car, something/anything that they don’t have but are too lazy to work for and obtain. “For vexation kills the fool and envy slays the simple one.” [Job 5:2]

It has become apparent that Carol and I are seriously envied by many people, including but not limited to members of the Assemblies of Yahweh current and past. We both work hard for our money and we spend little money on foolishness. Therefore we are considered fiscally responsible individuals. We purchase good products including cars, motorcycles, and other items that we deem necessary for our personal use. This however, has created problems among some who are just too lazy to do the same. We have found that many members (current and past) are wasteful and irresponsible with their finances. They spend their resources on junk and items that do not last.

One of the major problems the Assemblies of Yahweh has faced, and still do, is gross obesity! Many members, quasi, spend a large portion of their resources on food! “For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the torture stake of the Messiah: whose end is perdition, whose elohim is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.” [Philippines 3:18-19] “For such persons do not serve our Master the Messiah, but their own appetites.” [Romans 16:17] And because of these passages, personal experience with these types, I can truthfully say, food is the most important thing to them next to sex.

Now, to point! If these envious people were to cut their food budget in half, they could own a new or perhaps better car. They wouldn’t have to KBB someone else’s vehicles and fill themselves with envy because they too could have better units of travel as well. However, you can hardly separate a glutton from their food, so it is probably a waste of time to even suggest it. But, this is only one of many problems that come with envious individuals. Let’s remember the story of Joseph, a type of suffering Messiah.

“Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his brothers, since he was born to him in his old age, so he had made a richly-embroidered tunic for him. When Joseph's brothers realized that their father loved him more than all of his brothers, they hated him so much that they were unable to speak politely to him.” [Genesis 37:3-4] This begins the time of trouble for Joseph, an individual who would suffer many things and be accused of things that he did not do! Carol and I feel and believe that Almighty Yahweh has given us great gifts and abilities. All glory to His Name! But, along with these blessings we also have found ourselves in the same predicament as did Joseph, Yahshua and others who were gifted for His honor and glory. People envy and hate you for them. Why don’t they take this matter up with Almighty Yahweh who gives these gifts, challenge Him, and call Him on it!

One of the major vilifiers on the Voy Forum has posted serious untruths concerning us. If you knew us personally, and this person does not, you would know that we would never do the things we are being accused of. However, members of the Assemblies present and past would rather read the Voy Forum than their Bibles. Paul says it best concerning these types of people. “They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and viciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, Elohim-haters, haughty, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to their parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, and ruthless.” [Romans 1:29-31]

Because, anyone reading, believing, and living the Bible, would never do these evil things, nor would they accuse others of doing them. However, you cannot answer them because it only causes more vitriol and capitalized hostility. Psychologically, these people are seriously damaged! They have the mind of Satan, not the mind of Yahshua! Regardless, accusations come from only one source, Satan! And this scripture testifies to that fact: “Even the archangel Michael, when he argued with the devil and fought over the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him. Instead, he said, "May Yahweh rebuke you!" [Judah 1:9] Michael did not accuse or bring a railing accusation as do those on the Assemblies of Yahweh Abuse Voy Forum do! So, one can simply discern the difference between those who accuse and those who are accused.
