Scripture Advocate Wiki
We all want to go to heaven. Why do I say that? All over the world people recognize two things: that the soul wants to exist and that the soul wants a purpose. Within the monotheistic religions [Christianity, Judaism, and Islam] they directly have a concept of Heaven where man kind goes through a judgment and then those who do well shall dwell with the Creator for eternity. In the polytheistic religions [Buddhism, Hinduism, the Greek and Roman Pantheons, etc] there are various forms of karma or re-incarnation as life goes on. In the pantheistic beliefs and religions [Wiccan, Witchcraft, etc] a persons life force goes on and may itself be part of 'god'.
At Scripture Advocate Publishing, we believe the Bible has the answer to getting into the Kingdom of Heaven. Furthermore, we believe that Scripture is the accurate and authoritative description of both the physical and spiritual aspects of life. There is no other answer that will get a person into Heaven. We need the basic truth of Scripture to have the promises and covenants that the Eternal has made with man kind, to receive salvation from sin through the Savior, and to hold the promise of eternal life in Heaven.
- If Scripture is true, then ... While this phrase may not have been a literal motto for myself during the last quarter century, it certainly has been the mindset with which I have approached life. "What if Scripture is true ..." has defined my way of life. I have been slowly getting away from the denominational traditions taught to me when growing up and, instead, learning to simply follow what the Eternal has told us to do through His Word. It has been an amazing journey of growth, cleansing, and learning to love.
- What Is Scripture Advocacy? If Scripture is true, then scripture advocacy is standing for purity, truth, and righteousness in a post-truth world full of wickedness. It means going against the mainstream in religious, scientific, and societal standards ... because the acceptance of Scripture as an accurate guide to life and life eternal is now an extremely small minority view.
- Living Life to the Fullest If Scripture is true, then there is a way to live life to the fullest. This starts by gaining eternal life and then continues building a close and loving relationship with our Creator, learning to love and care for man kind, and how to work for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Relationship With the King Unit
If Scripture is true, then we can have an active and growing relationship with the Eternal rather than just a set of religious traditions. This comes by learning His Word, understanding what He has done, respecting His position, and honoring Him.
- Scripture Strategy Chapter If Scripture is true, then the Bible, as the word of Elohim, is the accurate and authoritative description of both the physical and spiritual aspects of life. We should make the effort to know and understand it in order to obey and worship properly rather than be deceived by the enemy through inaccurate doctrine, twisting of Scripture, or false prophets.
- Honoring the Eternal Chapter If Scripture is true, then there is nothing more powerful than an active relationship with the Eternal for it is He who is Creator, Lawgiver, and Redeemer and it is He who is worthy of our worship while the adversary is a pride driven fraud who promotes idolatry and fear to steal and take what does not belong to him.
- Helmet of Salvation Chapter If Scripture is true, then perhaps the most important and foundational truth is that of salvation; the availability of forgiveness of sin and the opportunity to be a child of Elohim in the Kingdom of Heaven throughout eternity which can motivate us to withstand anything the enemy can throw at us from this world.
If you believe this, then you can have the peace and security that comes with being loved and protected by the Eternal. It is a choice we make by humbling ourselves and submitting to Elohim's caring authority.

- Base Camp of Original Creation Chapter If Scripture is true, then the book of Genesis supplies the answers to life and death, the relationship between physical and spiritual, and what genuinely helps or harms man kind. It is little wonder that the enemy would attack this in both theology and science.
- Belt of Truth Chapter If Scripture is true, then following it will lead you to the Savior and to eternal life while following falsehood will lead to sin and death.

Responsibility In the Covenant Unit
If Scripture is true, then man kind has lost the close relationship that originally existed with Elohim and now faces death; however, through the covenants and priesthood, He lovingly offers a path back to life and close relationship which would be impossible for man to do on his own.
- Man Kind's Marching Orders Chapter If Scripture is true, then our Creator instructed man kind to serve Him be by caring for the Earth and to love each other; however, after the fall into darkness, man struggles with being disobedient, selfish, destructive, and acting as our own authority.
- Covenant Command and Control Chapter If Scripture is true, then the Eternal has offered a series of covenants to restore relationship with man kind; yet each person must choose to enter and follow these covenants to enjoy the promises and blessings that come within them.
- Overcoming Defeat at Judgment Chapter If Scripture is true, when man kind breaks the covenant law through sinful actions, there is a Heavenly High Priest and an atoning sacrifice that returns him to righteousness; but we must repent and seek that forgiveness through the Savior if we are to make it through judgment.
- Shield of Faith Chapter If Scripture is true, then our trust in the Almighty and His ways will not only provide us with peace, hope, joy, and love, but it will also protect us from the negative influences and harsh effects of a greedy world constantly pursuing pride, control, and the lusts of the flesh.
This means we have a choice to help or harm our relationship with our loving Heavenly Father, to receive blessing or cursing in this lifetime, and to obtain salvation or destruction for eternity.

If Scripture is true, then we are called not only to build up our own relationship with the Eternal, but to also help others start / build a relationship with Him.
- Sharing Salvation Chapter If Scripture is true, then sharing the Good News is one of the best ways to help people live life to the fullest. Surprisingly, it will also reveal the amount of corruption in the world and how much people fear the truth of consequences for their sin.
- Helping the Poor Chapter If Scripture is true, we are not only called to love our neighbor as ourselves, but specifically called to help the poor, the widow, and the orphan ... those who have significantly greater hurdles in taking care of life than most.
- Persevering through Persecution Chapter If Scripture is true, then we can expect to be in the minority when we support righteousness and fight wickedness. This can bring persecution in many forms including the loss of friends, slander, restrictions, oppression, and (at the extreme) death.
- Mantle of Zeal Chapter If Scripture is true, then ignoring and surrendering to evil is not an option because accepting evil will bring the consequences of evil just as fighting for truth will help bring the consequences of truth.

- Encouraging Life Children's Mission Chapter My personal calling is to help children (and their family) who are impoverished. This is not limited to feeding them because the genuine help comes in healing the problem(s) that are causing the poverty individually, locally, and nationally.
- Publishing Projects One of the more prominent causes of poverty is the lack of education. Therefore, the Mission is working to produce it's own series of books and materials in hopes of keeping production costs low and to enable freely giving away as many books as possible.
