A AND E
HI! WE ARE THE ARTIST AND THE ENGINEER...
…the folks behind TheREDWords. So good to meet you.
So, who are we?
We live in the USA. We are retired from corporate America, where we worked in an industry that, throughout our careers, provided us with unusual insights—mainly to be logical, pragmatic, analytical thinkers who rely solely upon reality, truth, and certitude.
Toward the end of our careers, God opened our eyes to the fact that these three critical ideals were vanishing in the States. Instead of retiring us to a life of leisure, God revealed how He wanted us to utilize the skills He provided throughout our careers to serve Him. We did as He asked. He unfolded before our eyes the sharp decline of the USA’s political, financial, medical, educational, social, moral, and military structures. Then, we waited for Him to identify our area of ministry. It took a few years because the Lord had to hone some things in our lives before we could begin, but in late 2018, He began moving us toward TheREDWords. The Lord slowly removed the barriers from our lives so that we could wholeheartedly commit to Him. And this we have done. We obeyed His calling by producing videos and articles that teach seekers the truth about Who He is. Then the Lord expanded the work to Brighteon.com, where we share videos and podcasts on a variety of topics. And now, His expansion continues through this website.
One of us is a long-time believer; the other is newly re-born. We dedicate ourselves daily to worship, praise, prayer, and communication with the Triune Godhead. In our obedience, God utilizes our juxtaposition of mature and new to offer our readers a unique teaching perspective into the Lord Jesus Christ—Who He is, what He’s done, and what He is about to do. We strive to present His principles from both perspectives, and we have been tasked to teach mainly in these three areas:
- Help anyone who is seeking the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation, redemption, and justification.
- To teach believers to love the truth about God’s knowledge, wisdom, and discernment.
- Reveal the Lord Jesus Christ’s future plan to remove His beloved believers from earth in “the blink of an eye”. Most commonly referred to as the Rapture, departure, vanishing, disappearance, Harpazo (in the Greek) which means “snatching out“, or Rapturo (in Latin) same meaning.
Subareas include:
- The importance of serving through Holy Spirit inspired understanding of God’s will in each believer’s life
- Working toward and understanding the act of Godly sanctification and reaping the subsequent everlasting rewards
- Sharing information on the Lord’s incredible books of Revelation, Ezekiel, (Daniel, Isaiah, and Romans upcoming)
And so, that brings us to the next point. The Triune God, or the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) loves you so completely that Jesus died for you on the cross as a ransom sacrifice—as a payment—which was required to return humanity to the Father. Then the Lord Jesus Christ rose up out of that grave and now lives forever as the conquerer of death!
You see, the Lord Jesus Christ can’t NOT love you. That’s impossible for Him because loving you is Who He is, and He proved it through ultimate sacrifice. His death saved mankind from the world and the false god who currently controls it. So understand! Jesus loves you right now, at this precise moment, and He loves you into the future. Jesus has hopes for you. He prays for you and wants to bless you in ways you cannot imagine. He wants you with Him forever!
All He asks in return is a relationship with you. It’s simple, but for many, it’s not always easy. And so, to assist, He told us to step up and serve Him. Hence, on this website we fight for you because you are important and because the Lord Jesus Christ created you to be His!
Every second of every day, people fall farther away from their Creator, and the Son of God wants His people back! In the stealing away of souls, He provides the Truth through His Word, and the reasoning to help you regain your RIGHTFUL position in God’s kingdom, because God created you to be His child.
You deserve to know Who He is.
AMEN!
Our goal is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ by providing a safe landing place for people to learn about God and His Son. We live in a world bereft of love, wisdom, discernment, and knowledge—where people seek tangible, viable solutions for the issues they face. As believers we declare the Lord Jesus Christ is the answer to life, therefore, in obedience, we strive to provide scriptural information.
We are not influencers; rather, we pray the Holy Spirit inspired information will encourage visitors to seek what God has to say. Our job is to peak interest and point you toward scripture. (Acts 17:11)
We believe and know firsthand that God’s Word is precise, and for that reason we teach the topics He declares and share this information obediently. We never alter scripture.
Regarding Religion: We refuse labels (denominational or otherwise), opting instead for a personal relationship with the Triune Godhead—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This involves daily worship, praise, communication, imploring, and obedience to Him.
Why?
Because religion is man made. Instead, we chose God’s Way, provided through the Lord Jesus Christ. This offers a direct and specific path, and guarantees nothing comes between the Lord and the believer. For His way is narrow, individual, personal, and secure. His love is everlasting, and no man stands between Him and the believer’s choice. The blessedness of fellowship is found in the home church.
Lastly, we are NOT Christians—we are BELIEVERS and FOLLOWERS of His Way. Refer to the ‘BELIEVER AND CHRISTIAN’ blog post to learn the vital importance of this identifier, that is separate from the world view. Amen and AMEN!

You won’t be judged here. All of us are sinners trying to do our best.
You will not be pressured or coerced into anything, as we believe pressuring chases people away FAST!
Questions about God, about the times we live in, about any information we post (or don’t post) is welcomed. TheREDWords is here to provide straightforward, practical, and easy to understand Godly information from one source…the written Word of God.
If you need prayer, are struggling, seeking, don’t know how to proceed, find it difficult to speak to God, or are stuck somehow, send us an email: theredwords@protonmail.com
The Bible
We believe the Bible, comprised of 66 books, written by 40+ men over 2000 years to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. We believe God placed every letter, word, paragraph, chapter, and book together from outside our understanding of time. We believe the Bible to be inerrant, Holy Spirit-breathed, and complete—without error or omission.
We believe in one God, who is Creator of everything, who reveals Himself in three distinct Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but nevertheless is one in being. The Triune Godhead is eternal, infinite, and sovereign, as well as omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, and unchanging. God is holy, just, and righteous. God is love, gracious, merciful, and good beyond all measure.
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is God incarnate, God in human form, the express image of the Father, who, without ceasing to be God, became man in order that He might demonstrate who God is and provide the means of salvation for humanity.
We believe Jesus Christ was conceived of Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. He is fully God and fully man and He lived a perfect, sinless life. We believe all His teachings are true and irrefutable. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for all humanity as a substitutionary sacrifice to pay our ransom. We believe He physically rose from the dead into His resurrected body and that He was seen and experienced by hundreds of people. We believe His death is sufficient to provide salvation for all who receive Him as Savior and that a believer’s justification is grounded in the shedding of His blood. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven in His glorified body and is now seated at the right hand of God and advocates for us. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ will leave the throne room of God, call His beloved believers, and gather them to Him in the air. This Rapture, Harpazo in the Greek, will quickly remove believers from earth resulting in a vast disappearing, vanishing, departure of many millions, possibly more—and the Lord will take them to heaven.
We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit. He regenerates sinners and indwells believers. He is the agent by whom Christ baptizes all believers into His body. He is the seal by whom the Father guarantees the salvation of believers unto the day of redemption. He is the Divine Teacher who illumines believers’ hearts and minds as they study the Word of God. We believe that the Holy Spirit distributes the spiritual gifts.
We believe in the reality and personality of angels. We believe that God created the angels to be His servants and messengers. We believe angels are not to be worshiped under any circumstances.
We believe in the existence and personality of Satan and demons. As an angel, Satan was created by God. He is an outcast from heaven who led one-third of the angels in a rebellion against God. He deceived Adam and Eve to gain control of earth, and is the evil world entity who continues to deceive mankind. He is the great enemy of God and man, and the one-third fallen angels and demons are his servants in evil. He, the angels outcast with him, and his demons will be eternally punished in the lake of fire.
We believe that mankind came into existence by the direct creation of the Lord Jesus Christ and that humanity is uniquely made in the image and likeness of God. Because of Adam’s fall, we believe that all humanity has inherited a sinful nature, that all human beings choose to sin, and that all sin is exceedingly offensive to God. Humanity is utterly unable to remedy this fallen state. Therefore, Jesus Christ, through His sacrificial death, became the blood bridge providing righteousness back to God for those who choose Him as their Lord and Savior.
We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Christ’s death fully accomplished justification through faith and redemption from sin. Christ died in our place and bore our sins in His own body. On the third day after His death, Jesus physically rose again, demonstrating His victory over sin and death.
We believe salvation is received by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Good works and obedience are results of salvation, not requirements for salvation. Due to the greatness, sufficiency, and perfection of Christ’s sacrifice, all those who have truly received Christ as Savior (His chosen believers) are eternally secure in salvation, kept by God’s power, secured and sealed in Christ forever. Just as salvation cannot be earned by good works, neither does it need good works to be maintained or sustained. Good works and changed lives are the inevitable results of salvation. However, those who choose to become His faithful overcomers, who obey, grow, and serve Him by following the guidance of Holy Spirit, earn their Sanctification.
We believe that the Church, the Body of Christ, is a spiritual organism made up of all believers of this present age. We believe in the ordinances of believer’s water baptism by immersion as a testimony to Christ and identification with Him, and the Lord’s Supper as a remembrance of Christ’s death and shed blood. We believe it is the obligation of all believers to witness, by word and life, to the truths of God’s Word, therefore the gospel of the grace of God is to be preached to all the world.
We believe in the personal and impending return of the Lord Jesus Christ in the air to rapture His beloved believers. Harpazo in the Greek, this event is the vanishing, disappearance, departure of all God’s believers who are on earth at the time the Lord Jesus Christ calls them to Him in the air. Furthermore, we believe in the visible, physical bodily return of Christ to this earth with His saints to establish His promised Millennial Kingdom. We believe in the physical resurrection of all human beings—believers during Harpazo to everlasting joy with the Triune Godhead, the saints of the tribulation and Great Tribulation—and the unsaved wicked to eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
We believe that the souls of believers are, at death, absent from the body and present with the Lord, where they await their resurrection when spirit, soul, and body are reunited in the air at the Harpazo, to be glorified forever with the Lord. We believe that the souls of unbelievers remain, after death, in conscious misery until their resurrection when, with soul and body reunited, they shall appear at the Great White Throne judgment and shall be cast into the Lake of Fire to suffer everlasting punishment.
