Let me introduce my wife and myself:
My name is Timothy Malone Youngblood
and my wife is Mary Sue Youngblood.
We welcome
you to the Master's table
I began my biblical study and historical research around 1971 at age 22 and because as a child I was not introduced into any religion at all I could see early into my studies that many Christian denominations taught contrary to one another even though they all used the same book to preach from. Greatly concerned I set out to find the reason and became interested in finding the truth concerning the word of God and how that matched up with what was being taught. My wife helped me with extensive research and study into the scriptures for 25 years and is versed in Jewish / Hebrew history as well. I thank God for my loving wife, and I thank her for all her hours of research and questions that has lead this site in the right direction. She is truly my helper as God intended.
My wife Mary Sue and I have fellowshipped with many Church groups over the years, but are no longer affiliated with any group or organization as members, but we do fellowship with various believers as we are able. My wife and I realize that we must continue to study and correct ourselves as there is no end to learning. Although we are considered as independent so far as our Church affiliation please understand that My wife Mary and I do accept the Messiah of the Christian bible as the one and only true Son of God and we have accepted Him as our only Master and savior. We thank the Messiah for His great blood sacrifice and mercy on all those that will accept Him as their savior.
Please understand that we do not believe that God has called us to do this work on the Master's Table web site as we have not heard any voices from heaven nor have we been visited by some angel with instructions. We do pray that God leads us by the power of His Holy Spirit and we thank God for giving us His Holy Spirit to open our understanding to His truth and these studies are written on the promise of our Lord Jesus the Messiah when he stated…"However, when the Spirit of truth, has come, It will guide you into all truth; for It will not speak on It’s own authority, but whatever It hears It will speak; and It will tell you things to come. John 16:13.
We started The Master's Table web site sometime in 1997 in order to help brethren with information needed for bible studies at home. We place as much useful study information as we can on the Master's table to make it a research tool for those that want this information. We do not believe God wants us to just have OUR agenda that promotes OUR beliefs but to present truthful historical information and where the facts come from so the bible student can decide for themselves what is correct. We never intend to speak evil of any person, or group. Our only intent is to present what the bible states. This being our conviction, my wife Mary and I do have a deep desire to research and find where the teachings, right or wrong came from. We do investigate the bible without bias, or prejudice and examine what doctrines have been injected into the Christian Religion, then carefully examine what the Christian bible, and history reveals about these subjects. We never ask for, nor will we accept money for this work (See article on tithing .)
We do teach against the hierarchical type Church government system which the scriptures refer to as the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. The word Nicolaitan broken down is Nicole which means Victory and Laitan or Laity which means the people and when we put the two meanings together we get "Victory over the people" or the same thing as the hierarchical type government which is men RULING from the top down as if they have the authority of Christ. For more understanding as to why the apostle John may have used this as doctrine that God hates is because there was a man named Nicolaus which is said to have started a sect called the Nicolaitans who's doctrines was similar to that of Balaam, "who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication" Rev 2:14-15. We also stress teaching against what we term "a false gospel of unity for the sake of peace" which means a coming together even if that means to compromise the truth of God. We have found that this teaching is infiltrating almost every Christian Church today. This is the doctrine of the Ecumenical movement which is the great deception that is designed to bring all Churches back under the Catholic Church thus leading them away from what clear scripture teaches. It's a fact of history that Rome was full of pagan gods and the church of Rome never gave up those gods.
We teach that the Protestants were correct in their fight during the reformation, however after their many sincere leaders were murdered by being burned and beheaded, their followers did not complete the reformation but conformed to most of the Old Catholic doctrines. We teach that all Christians should look to Jesus alone for their place in the body of the Christ (Church) and that the true structure of the Church is like a vine as Jesus Himself described in John 15:4-7. We teach that no man should ever claim by virtue of a right to be the successor or advocate of Jesus here on earth and that we all need to learn of, and return to the original teaching of the first church that Jesus is the head, and we need to realize that there is error and be faithful in correcting it.
A book I wrote titled "The Great Apostasy", which is published on this site, covers subjects that help correct error that has been injected into the Christian churches and discusses subjects such as "The divinity of Jesus the Messiah", "The credibility of the Bible", "The true gospel, and false doctrine." It covers "The new covenant and God's seven-point plan of salvation." It covers the ecumenical movement, and expounds on the apostasy's snare that can lead into committing the unpardonable sin, and how to avoid it. It warns of what the anti-Christs are teaching and how to refute them using the word of God. It also covers the very important subject of who truly holds the keys to the Kingdom and what He will do with them. After studying these subjects the student will understand that it is not about religion but more about the importance of the first oracles of the Church of God. Jesus stated that we can't receive salvation by any means except through Him, but we find many other ways being presented to the people today by way of religion. Just as the Messiah is convicted that the truth is to be first and for most, any sincere Christian should be just as concerned about the truth, and this book will guide many to the true savior whom has the real keys to the door of salvation that Satan wants to lock. This book is not to be just read, but studied!
If we are truly doing what Jesus gives us to do then we will be ready when He returns and we will be able to give our Master back an increase of five fold or ten fold from what we started with. It is the doing of the gospel that keeps us moving forward, and gaining strength as we focus on the task of getting the message of the gospel of the Kingdom of God out to this dying world. The closer we get to the time of the end the more there is a necessity to add more defenders of the truth to the ranks of the army of God. We truly believe that we must alter our opinions to fit the truth and never alter the truth to fit our opinions.
