True Believers of Jesus Christ are Strangers and Aliens on Earth – The Nation of Israel is Not the Promised Land

Hebrews chapter 11 in the New Testament part of the Bible is often called the "Faith Chapter" by Christians, with its long list of Old Testament "heroes of the faith." This is the chapter that is supposed to define "faith" with verses like this: "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1) "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." (Hebrews 11:6) But this chapter, within the context of the entire book of Hebrews, is more than just a showcase of "heroes of the faith." It is the last chapter that culminates the argument that the New Covenant is superior to the Old Covenant. The earlier chapters deal with the superiority of Jesus Christ over the Mosaic Law, the superiority of the priesthood of Jesus Christ, and how the "household of God" has now replaced the Temple. This chapter, chapter 11, deals with the promise given to Abraham under the Old Covenant that his descendants would inherit the "promised land" forever, believed by most Christians today to be the nation of Israel, and clearly shows that this promise had nothing at all to do with the nation of Israel, nor any other nation on earth. And, of course, none of the people of faith named in this chapter were "heroes" at all during the time they lived. They were outcasts in their societies.

New FREE eBook! Restoring the Foundation of New Testament Faith in Jesus Christ – by Brian Shilhavy

I am offering to the public, free of charge, my first book published in 2026: "Restoring the Foundation of New Testament Faith in Jesus Christ". This new book is a compilation of articles I have written on “Christians” and “Christianity” and published on the Health Impact News network for over a decade and a half. I felt the need to put these all together, as all too often people read just one article that makes up the current totality of my writing on this topic, prompting them to comment or criticize something that is covered in other articles that would answer their questions, or potentially prevent the criticism once they know the full teaching on this subject that includes the other articles I have previously written. I offer the same Creative Commons copyright license for this book as I do on all of my articles, which allows you to copy and distribute freely with proper attribution, for Non-Commercial purposes. My purpose in writing and distributing this is to restore the foundation of New Testament Faith in Jesus Christ. Please copy and distribute this eBook so we can pull as many people out of the fire from the corrupt Christian Churches while we still can!

There is Only “One Faith” – Who will “Fight the Good Fight” for “The Faith” in these Evil Last Days?

What does the Bible teach about Christianity? The Bible doesn't teach anything at all about Christianity. As I have previously written, the Christian Religion was defined and adopted in the 4th Century by the Roman State, under the Emperor Constantine. The Romans were mostly a polytheistic culture believing in most of the named Greek gods, until they made Christianity the official State Religion, and converted all of their Greek, "pagan" gods and holidays, into "Christian" ones. What the New Testament writers referred to, instead of the misconception and false belief that they were referring to a new religion called "Christianity," is what they referred to as "The Faith." What is "The faith"?
