DISCOVERING FALSE CHRISTIAN'S
This is not surprising to me, that many people who calls themselves a Christians and saying that they are Saved, just by Believing. Sure, even the demons and all those who are in hell now, even believe. Just by believing by itself, does not mean that one is Saved.
People would read in the Bible this these Sriptures and stop there and disregard rest of God's Word.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world (presents the God kind of love), that He gave His Only Begotten Son (gave Him up to the Cross, for that’s what it took to redeem humanity), that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life.
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved (presents the most beautiful explanation of Salvation that could ever be given), and your house (means that Salvation is not limited merely to the jailer, but is available to the entirety of his family as well, that is if they will meet the conditions of Faith in Christ required of them).
I have talked with many souls this past week and it really doesn't really surprise me that they would read that and say that they are Saved and totally disregard what is commanded in the Book of Acts on how one is Saved, which is Repentance. Acts 2:38 and rest of the Book of Acts, absolutely has nothing to do with Water Baptism. The Book of Acts is talking about Baptism with the Holy Spirit or Ghost, which means the same thing. Repentance and the Blood of Jesus Christ is totally ignored by many people and the reason why that is because, of false doctrines of fools and of foolish false Preachers. I am adding verse 39, to prove the fact that 2:38 is talking about the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38-39, Matthew 28:19
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent (admit that God is right, and we are wrong), and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ (by the authority of that Name; there is no baptismal formula given in the Book of Acts; the only formula given was given by Christ in Mat. 28:19) for the Remission of sins (should have been translated, “because of remission of sins”; one is Baptized in Water because one’s sins have already been remitted due to Faith in Christ, and not that sins should be remitted), and you shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit (Repentance guarantees Salvation, which makes the Believer ready to be Baptized with the Holy Spirit; one is not Baptized with the Spirit automatically at conversion; it is an experience that follows Salvation, and is always accompanied by speaking with other tongues [Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:1-7]). 39 For the Promise (of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit) is unto you (directed toward the many Jews standing in the Temple listening to Peter that day), and to your children (means that this great outpouring did not stop with the initial outpouring, but continues on), and to all who are afar off (meaning that it’s not only for those in Jerusalem, but the entirety of the world as well), even as many as the Lord our God shall call (that “Call”is “whosoever will”[Jn. 7:37-39; Rev. 22:17]). 19 Go ye therefore (applies to any and all who follow Christ, and in all ages), and teach all nations (should have been translated, “and preach to all nations”, for the word “teach” here refers to a proclamation of truth), baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (presents the only formula for Water Baptism given in the Word of God):
Faith
Faith is also ignored by fake Christians and false preachers.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by Grace (the Goodness of God) are you Saved through Faith (Faith in Christ, with the Cross ever as its Object); and that not of yourselves (none of this is of us, but all is of Him): it is the Gift of God (anytime the word “Gift”is used, God is speaking of His Son and His Substitutionary Work on the Cross, which makes all of this possible): 9 Not of works (man cannot merit Salvation, irrespective what he does), lest any man should boast (boast in his own ability and strength; we are allowed to boast only in the Cross [Gal. 6:14]).
Romans 10:17 So then Faith comes by hearing (it is the publication of the Gospel which produces Faith in it), and hearing by the Word of God (Faith does not come simply by hearing just anything, but rather by hearing God’s Word, and believing that Word).
Galations 2:20 I am Crucified with Christ (as the Foundation of all Victory; Paul, here, takes us back to Rom. 6:3-5): nevertheless I live (have new life); yet not I (not by my own strength and ability), but Christ lives in me (by virtue of me dying with Him on the Cross, and being raised with Him in Newness of Life): and the life which I now live in the flesh (my daily walk before God) I live by the Faith of the Son of God (the Cross is ever the Object of my Faith), Who loved me, and gave Himself for me (which is the only way that I could be Saved).
The Blood of Jesus Christ is also ignored by fools and foolish false preachers.
The Blood of Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood (some few things were purged with water, but almost all with blood); and without shedding of blood is no remission. (The shed Blood of Christ on the Cross is the only solution for the sins, the ills, and the problems of this world. The problem of the world, and of the Church as well, is that it has ever sought to substitute something else. But let all know, it is alone the Cross! the Cross! the Cross!)
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another (if we claim fellowship with Him, we will at the same time walk in the Light, which is the sphere of His Walk), and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. (Our Faith being in the Cross, the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, constantly cleanses us from all sin.)
Matthew 26:28 For this is My Blood of the New Testament (New Covenant), which is shed for many for the remission of sins (His Death at Calvary would settle forever the sin debt, and for all of humanity, at least for all who will believe [Jn. 1:29]; as is obvious, the Lord’s Supper ever directs the Believer to the Cross).
Revelation 1:5-6 And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful Witness (earthly life of perfect obedience), and the first begotten of the dead (refers to His Resurrection, which is the Firstfruits [Rom. 8:23]), and the prince of the kings of the earth. (This refers to His rulership of the world, which is a key theme of the Book of Revelation.) Unto Him Who loved us, and washed us from our sins in His Own Blood (the Cross proves the fact of His Love in no uncertain terms), 6 And has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father (made possible by what Christ did at the Cross, and only by what Christ did at the Cross); to Him be Glory and Dominion forever and ever. Amen. (Christ is the Redeemer, so He deserves the “Glory and Dominion,”which will be His forever and ever.)
Listen Saved and unsaved and false preachers, as you have just read for yourselves, in order to be Saved, you must Believe through Faith, in Jesus Christ, the Cross and Him Crucified, which allows the Holy the Holy Spirit to Baptise you, which is the Only way that one is Saved. Speaking of the Finished Work, that Jesus Christ has accomplished for us. No other Work is needed.
You are not to remain as you are, there must be a change.
The Truth.
God Bless.

EVERY DAY IS THE SABBATH
EVERY DAY IS THE SABBATH
If you are a Reborn Again Christian (Saved), then everday is the Sabbath Day. The first day of the week is Sunday and that makes Friday the start of the weekend and Saturday the end of the weekend. In the old Testament, Saturday was the Sabath Day until Jesus Christ died. Jesus Christ is the Sabbath and the Law. Now that Jesus Christ, our God and Savior resides in the hearts of Believers who has Faith in that Finished Work, speaking of what Jesus Christ did at the Cross. Now, that Jesus Christ resides in Believers, everday is tge Sabbath and a day of rest, no matter what day it is. Once again, the Sabbath is not a certain day. If you are hanging on to Law? You then are committing Spiritual Adultery.

You then are committing Spiritual Adultery.
IN MY TIME OF TELLING SOULS TO REPENT AND CHANGE.
IN MY TIME OF TELLING SOULS TO REPENT AND CHANGE.
I love God and other people enough and I am willing to tell others the Truth. I have had lost souls tell me, don't Judge, your going to drive souls away from God, that is not Christ like. That is just a few things that lost souls have said to me but, the fact is, they all have pushed themselves away from God, by their rebellion. I am going to touch a little on about Judging. We are to Judge all things. Many of you have asked, what about thou shall not Judge? My question to you are, why did you not read about 20 verses before and 20 verses after thou shall not Judge and read other scriptures and chapters in the Bible?
Don't twist scripture, unless ye be like Satan.
Matthew 7:1-6 1 Judge not, that you be not judged (this statement by Christ harks back to Verses 25 through 34 of the previous Chapter; the idea is, God may permit poverty to test His Child, but fellow Believers are not to err, as Job’s friends did, and believe the trial to be a judgment for secret sin; as well, the word, “judging,”as used here, covers every aspect of dealing with our fellowman). 2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged (whatever motive we ascribe to others, such motive will ultimately be ascribed to us): and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again (a double emphasis is given here in order to proclaim the seriousness of the Words of our Lord; when we judge others, we are judging ourselves). 3 And why do you behold the mote that is in your brother’s eye (the Believer is not to be looking for fault or wrongdoing in the lives of fellow Believers), but consider not the beam that is in your own eye? (We have plenty in our own lives which need eliminating, without looking for faults in others. The “mote”and “beam”are contrasted! The constant judging of others portrays the fact that we are much worse off than the one we are judging.) 4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the mote out of your eye (the seriousness of setting ourselves up as judge, jury, and executioner); and, behold, a beam is in your own eye? (Once again draws attention to the fact that the person doing the judging is in far worse spiritual condition than the one being judged.) 5 You hypocrite (aptly describes such a person), first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then you shall see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother’s eye (the very fact that we do not address ourselves, but rather others, portrays the truth that our personal situation is worse; when we properly analyze ourselves, then, and only then, can we “see clearly”; this is speaking of character assassination and not the correction of doctrine). 6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast you your pearls before swine (there may be problems in the Church, as Verses 1 through 5 proclaim, but still, the Church is never to reach out into the world, i.e., “dogs,”for help in order to solve its internal disputes), lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you (no help will be coming from the world, but rather destruction.; we are to take our problems to the Lord, obeying His Word, concerning disputes [Mat. 18:15-17]).
That is talking about the heart, which would be Motives. We are to Judge bad fruit, which is sin, sinful living and yes, even using foul languages.
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance (in effect, says, “if you think you have not violated the Sabbath in Circumcision, then how can you think I broke the Sabbath when I healed one of you who had been helpless for thirty-eight years?”), but judge righteous judgment (says that Judgment must be rendered according to the whole Word of God, and not merely by taking a part and perverting it to one’s own satisfaction).
People who have said to me, your going to drive people away from God. The fact is about that, they already have driven themselves away from God by their unbelief and Faith. They are followers of Satan and are blinded by Satan's darkness. When God speaks to others through me, people ends up hating me, for sharing the Truth. That does not bother me one bit but, they are actually hating God and wanting to continue to live as they please. Now that bothers me. Their souls are in danger of hell fire.
1 Thessalonians 4:8 He therefore who despises (despises the Commands of the Lord), despises not man, but God (treating the words of men lightly is one thing; treating the Word of God lightly is something else altogether), Who has also given unto us His Holy Spirit. (The Holy Spirit is given to Believers in order that we might live a Holy Life, which is done by us evidencing a constant Faith in the Cross of Christ.)
1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft (the taproot of all sin is “rebellion”; witchcraft is the effort to manipulate the spirit world through demon spirits; how is that like rebellion? To rebel against God’s order, which is “Christ and Him Crucified,”is to take matters into one’s own hands, which is the same as witchcraft), and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry (“stubbornness”is an intractable spirit that refuses to believe God’s Word). Because you have rejected the Word of the LORD, He has also rejected you from being king.
Psalms 50:17 Seeing you hate instruction, and cast My Words behind you (to most nations of the world, the Word of God means little; now they will answer!).
Hosea 4:6 My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no Priest to Me: seeing you have forgotten the Law of your God, I will also forget your children. (“My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” is the cause of all the problems in the church, and the world, for that matter! The “knowledge” spoken of is the Bible. This “lack of knowledge” was not ignorance, but rather a willful rejection of the Law of God. They didn’t know, but it was because they didn’t want to know!)
Am I wrong for doing Rightous Judging? No, not at all. I Pray and hope that this will lead you closer to God but, it starts with denial of yourselves through Repentance.
Luke 9:23-24 23 And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me (the criteria for Discipleship), let him deny himself (not asceticism as many think, but rather that one denies one’s own willpower, self-will, strength, and ability, depending totally on Christ), and take up his cross (the benefits of the Cross, looking exclusively to what Jesus did there to meet our every need) daily (this is so important, our looking to the Cross; that we must renew our Faith in what Christ has done for us, even on a daily basis, for Satan will ever try to move us away from the Cross as the Object of our Faith, which always spells disaster), and follow Me (Christ can be followed only by the Believer looking to the Cross, understanding what it accomplished, and by that means alone [Rom. 6:3-5, 11, 14; 8:1-2, 11; I Cor. 1:17-18, 21, 23; 2:2; Gal. 6:14; Eph. 2:13-18; Col. 2:14-15]). 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it (try to live one’s life outside of Christ and the Cross): but whosoever will lose his life for My Sake, the same shall save it (when we place our Faith entirely in Christ and the Cross, looking exclusively to Him, we have just found “more Abundant Life”[Jn. 10:10]).
Repentance
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted (Repentance is an admittance that God is right, and we are wrong; he was speaking to the Rulers as well as to the people), that your sins may be blotted out (speaks of Justification by Faith), when the times of refreshing shall come from the Presence of the Lord (should have been translated, “In order that the times of refreshing shall come from the Presence of the Lord”);
Luke 13:3 I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish (this is a Message of somber note; evidently, they had assumed in their minds that the judgments suffered by these people was because of their great sins; they reasoned that they themselves were much more righteous, and would not suffer such — Jesus tells them differently).
2 Chronicles 7:14 If My People, who are called by My Name (Believers), shall humble themselves (humility), and pray, and seek My Face (the prayer of Repentance), and turn from their wicked ways (which proclaims the manner of true Repentance); then will I hear from Heaven (but not otherwise), and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (God’s Prescription for spiritual sickness).
Saying this Prayer will not Save you unless you Believe in what you are reading through Faith.
THE SINNER’S PRAYER
"DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN, I COME TO YOU TODAY AS A LOST SINNER." "I AM ASKING YOU THAT YOU SAVE MY SOUL AND CLEANSE ME FROM ALL SIN." "I REALIZE IN MY HEART MY NEED OF SALVATION, WHICH CAN ONLY COME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST." "I AM ACCEPTING CHRIST INTO MY HEART AND WHAT HE DID ON THE CROSS IN ORDER TO PURCHASE MY REDEMPTION." "IN OBEDIENCE TO YOUR WORD, I CONFESS WITH MY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND BELIEVE IN MY HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD." "YOU HAVE SAID IN YOUR WORD WHICH CANNOT LIE, 'FOR WHOSOEVER CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED' (ROM. 10-13)." "I HAVE CALLED UPON YOUR NAME EXACTLY AS YOU HAVE SAID, AND I AM SAVED."

Until you Repent, turn away from all, not some but, all of your sins and leave them at the Cross through Faith,
You will never receieve the Blessings and help from the Holy Spirit and be Saved.
You will never receieve the Blessings and help from the Holy Spirit and be Saved.
THE REBELLING SOUL
THE REBELLING SOUL
Roman 8:1-5 There is therefore now no condemnation (guilt) to them which are in Christ Jesus (refers back to Rom. 6:3-5 and our being baptized into His Death, which speaks of the Crucifixion), who walk not after the flesh (depending on one’s personal strength and ability or great religious efforts in order to overcome sin), but after the Spirit (the Holy Spirit works exclusively within the legal confines of the Finished Work of Christ; our Faith in that Finished Work, i.e., “the Cross,”guarantees the help of the Holy Spirit, which guarantees Victory). 2 For the Law (that which we are about to give is a Law of God, devised by the Godhead in eternity past [I Pet. 1:18-20]; this Law, in fact, is “God’s Prescribed Order of Victory”) of the Spirit (Holy Spirit, i.e., “the way the Spirit works”) of Life (all life comes from Christ, but through the Holy Spirit [Jn. 16:13-14]) in Christ Jesus (any time Paul uses this term or one of its derivatives, he is, without fail, referring to what Christ did at the Cross, which makes this “life”possible) has made me free (given me total Victory) from the Law of Sin and Death (these are the two most powerful Laws in the Universe; the “Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus”alone is stronger than the “Law of Sin and Death”; this means that if the Believer attempts to live for God by any manner other than Faith in Christ and the Cross, he is doomed to failure). 3 For what the Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh (those under Law had only their willpower, which is woefully insufficient; so despite how hard they tried, they were unable to keep the Law then, and the same inability persists presently; any person who tries to live for God by a system of laws is doomed to failure, because the Holy Spirit will not function in that capacity), God sending His Own Son (refers to man’s helpless condition, unable to save himself and unable to keep even a simple Law and, therefore, in dire need of a Saviour) i n the likeness of sinful flesh (this means that Christ was really human, conformed in appearance to flesh which is characterized by sin, but yet sinless), and for sin (to atone for sin, to destroy its power, and to save and Sanctify its victims), condemned sin in the flesh (destroyed the power of sin by giving His Perfect Body as a Sacrifice for sin, which made it possible for sin to be defeated in our flesh; it was all through the Cross): 4 That the Righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us (the Law finding its full accomplishment in us can only be done by Faith in Christ, and what Christ has done for us at the Cross), who walk not after the flesh (not after our own strength and ability), but after the Spirit (the word “walk”refers to the manner in which we order our life; when we place our Faith in Christ and the Cross, understanding that all things come from God to us by means of the Cross, ever making it the Object of our Faith, the Holy Spirit can then work mightily within us, bringing about the Fruit of the Spirit; that is what “walking after the Spirit”actually means!). 5 For they who are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh (refers to Believers trying to live for the Lord by means other than Faith in the Cross of Christ); but they who are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit (those who place their Faith in Christ and the Cross, do so exclusively; they are doing what the Spirit desires, which alone can bring Victory).
1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. (The “world”spoken of here by John pertains to the ordered system of which Satan is the head.) If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (God the Father will not share the love that must go exclusively from Him with the world.) 16 For all that is in the world (there is nothing in the system of this world that is of God), the lust of the flesh (refers to evil cravings), and the lust of the eyes (craves what it sees), and the pride of life (that which trusts its own power and resources, and shamefully despises and violates Divine Laws and human rights), is not of the Father, but is of the world. (These things have the system of the world as their source, not the Heavenly Father.) 17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof (whatever the allurements of the world, they soon fade): but he who does the Will of God abides forever (the one who keeps on habitually doing the Will of God).
Do you feel like your life is falling apart and have placed your faith in other things to help you relax or to cover your troubles, temporarily but, your life is still falling apart?
You will continue to struggle with life if, you keep looking to other things for your answer and placing your faith in other things. The only answer and solution for your life is exclusively the Cross and that alone, should be the only object of your Faith and not a beer bottle. By rejecting Jesus Christ and the Cross, by continuing to live in sin, by drinking alcohol, by pushing drugs or anything else that is against God, for that matter, you are hindering your spirit from being able to receive the help from God. If there is any sin that you are living in? It can and will hinder you from receiving the help from God. You must Repent of your sins and sinful living, you must turn away from your wicked living and then, only then, God can help you in your time of need. Sin blocks the help of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ died on the Cross to Save you from your sins and not, in your sins.
Placing your faith in a beer bottle for your life struggles, placing your faith in cigarettes for your life struggles, placing your faith in drugs or in anything else, for your life struggles, totally hinders your soul from getting help, from the Holy Spirit. Those who are after the things that pleases the flesh, is after the flesh and it is evil in the Sight of God. The one who is after the Holy Spirit is Spirit and that pleases God. The things of the world, will keep you from getting the Blessings of God. You cannot walk with God and hold hands with the devil at the same time. The rebelling soul, is a soul that is a follower of Satan and will never get the help of the Holy Spirit.
If you are not Right with God and want the help of the Holy Spirit? It starts with Repentance and denying of yourself and turning away from the trash of the flesh at the Cross through Faith in Jesus Christ.
The Cross is the only answer for your life.
Roman 8:1-5 There is therefore now no condemnation (guilt) to them which are in Christ Jesus (refers back to Rom. 6:3-5 and our being baptized into His Death, which speaks of the Crucifixion), who walk not after the flesh (depending on one’s personal strength and ability or great religious efforts in order to overcome sin), but after the Spirit (the Holy Spirit works exclusively within the legal confines of the Finished Work of Christ; our Faith in that Finished Work, i.e., “the Cross,”guarantees the help of the Holy Spirit, which guarantees Victory). 2 For the Law (that which we are about to give is a Law of God, devised by the Godhead in eternity past [I Pet. 1:18-20]; this Law, in fact, is “God’s Prescribed Order of Victory”) of the Spirit (Holy Spirit, i.e., “the way the Spirit works”) of Life (all life comes from Christ, but through the Holy Spirit [Jn. 16:13-14]) in Christ Jesus (any time Paul uses this term or one of its derivatives, he is, without fail, referring to what Christ did at the Cross, which makes this “life”possible) has made me free (given me total Victory) from the Law of Sin and Death (these are the two most powerful Laws in the Universe; the “Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus”alone is stronger than the “Law of Sin and Death”; this means that if the Believer attempts to live for God by any manner other than Faith in Christ and the Cross, he is doomed to failure). 3 For what the Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh (those under Law had only their willpower, which is woefully insufficient; so despite how hard they tried, they were unable to keep the Law then, and the same inability persists presently; any person who tries to live for God by a system of laws is doomed to failure, because the Holy Spirit will not function in that capacity), God sending His Own Son (refers to man’s helpless condition, unable to save himself and unable to keep even a simple Law and, therefore, in dire need of a Saviour) i n the likeness of sinful flesh (this means that Christ was really human, conformed in appearance to flesh which is characterized by sin, but yet sinless), and for sin (to atone for sin, to destroy its power, and to save and Sanctify its victims), condemned sin in the flesh (destroyed the power of sin by giving His Perfect Body as a Sacrifice for sin, which made it possible for sin to be defeated in our flesh; it was all through the Cross): 4 That the Righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us (the Law finding its full accomplishment in us can only be done by Faith in Christ, and what Christ has done for us at the Cross), who walk not after the flesh (not after our own strength and ability), but after the Spirit (the word “walk”refers to the manner in which we order our life; when we place our Faith in Christ and the Cross, understanding that all things come from God to us by means of the Cross, ever making it the Object of our Faith, the Holy Spirit can then work mightily within us, bringing about the Fruit of the Spirit; that is what “walking after the Spirit”actually means!). 5 For they who are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh (refers to Believers trying to live for the Lord by means other than Faith in the Cross of Christ); but they who are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit (those who place their Faith in Christ and the Cross, do so exclusively; they are doing what the Spirit desires, which alone can bring Victory).
1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. (The “world”spoken of here by John pertains to the ordered system of which Satan is the head.) If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (God the Father will not share the love that must go exclusively from Him with the world.) 16 For all that is in the world (there is nothing in the system of this world that is of God), the lust of the flesh (refers to evil cravings), and the lust of the eyes (craves what it sees), and the pride of life (that which trusts its own power and resources, and shamefully despises and violates Divine Laws and human rights), is not of the Father, but is of the world. (These things have the system of the world as their source, not the Heavenly Father.) 17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof (whatever the allurements of the world, they soon fade): but he who does the Will of God abides forever (the one who keeps on habitually doing the Will of God).
Do you feel like your life is falling apart and have placed your faith in other things to help you relax or to cover your troubles, temporarily but, your life is still falling apart?
You will continue to struggle with life if, you keep looking to other things for your answer and placing your faith in other things. The only answer and solution for your life is exclusively the Cross and that alone, should be the only object of your Faith and not a beer bottle. By rejecting Jesus Christ and the Cross, by continuing to live in sin, by drinking alcohol, by pushing drugs or anything else that is against God, for that matter, you are hindering your spirit from being able to receive the help from God. If there is any sin that you are living in? It can and will hinder you from receiving the help from God. You must Repent of your sins and sinful living, you must turn away from your wicked living and then, only then, God can help you in your time of need. Sin blocks the help of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ died on the Cross to Save you from your sins and not, in your sins.
Placing your faith in a beer bottle for your life struggles, placing your faith in cigarettes for your life struggles, placing your faith in drugs or in anything else, for your life struggles, totally hinders your soul from getting help, from the Holy Spirit. Those who are after the things that pleases the flesh, is after the flesh and it is evil in the Sight of God. The one who is after the Holy Spirit is Spirit and that pleases God. The things of the world, will keep you from getting the Blessings of God. You cannot walk with God and hold hands with the devil at the same time. The rebelling soul, is a soul that is a follower of Satan and will never get the help of the Holy Spirit.
If you are not Right with God and want the help of the Holy Spirit? It starts with Repentance and denying of yourself and turning away from the trash of the flesh at the Cross through Faith in Jesus Christ.
The Cross is the only answer for your life.

CHRISTIAN VALUES.
CHRISTIAN VALUES.
I WOULD RATHER HAVE MY LIFE, BE ALL ABOUT GOD, SPEAK ALL ABOUT GOD, EVERYHING BE ABOUT GOD BECAUSE, EVERYTHING WE HAVE, OUR BODIES AND EVERYTHING BELONGS TOO GOD EXCEPT, THE THINGS THAT BELONGS TOO SATAN.
IF YOUR NOT LIVING FOR GOD? YOUR SOUL THEN, WILL BE TORMENTED BY SATAN, FOR ALL ETERNITY.
CHRISTIAN VALUES.
MATTHEW 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (this is flat out, stated as, an impossibility; it is total devotion to God, or ultimately it will be total devotion to the world; the word, “mammon” is derived from the Babylonian “Mimma,” which means “anything at all”).
Proverbs 19:1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity, than he who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. (The intention of this Proverb is that poverty with integrity is better than wealth with dishonesty.)
James 1:22-27 But be ye doers of the Word (the “Word”has the potential to do great and mighty things within our lives), and not hearers only (while hearing the Word is definitely necessary, at the same time it must be heard properly, and that refers to a heart that wants to receive), deceiving your own selves. (It’s bad enough to be deceived by others, but worse yet to purposely deceive ourselves. If we think we can live this life without total Faith in Christ and the Cross, we are doing exactly what James said not to do, “deceiving ourselves.”) 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass (he sees only that which is external and, therefore, cannot make a proper evaluation): 24 For he beholds himself, and goes his way (which is not God’s Way), and straightway forgets what manner of man he was. (An evaluation of ourselves is necessary. However, it is God Alone Who knows the heart which the Word of God, properly presented, reveals.) 25 But whoso looks into the perfect Law of Liberty (defines the whole body of revealed truth concerning the Word of God), and continues therein (there must be a continuous abiding in the Word), he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (Obeying the Word of God brings great Blessing. However, the only way it can be obeyed is for the Believer to unequivocally place his Faith in Christ and the Cross.) 26 If any man among you seem to be religious (would have been better translated, “if any man among you seems to be spiritual”), and bridles not his tongue (again, only the Holy Spirit within our lives can do this), but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. (This would have been better translated, “profession is vain.”) 27 Pure religion (should have been translated, “pure spirituality”) and undefiled before God and the Father is this (refers to that which pleases God), To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction (proper Faith will always produce proper works), and to keep himself unspotted from the world (Victory in everyday life and living, which again must have the help and Power of the Holy Spirit).
Mark 11:24-26 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever you desire (one seeking to do the Will of God, will want only what God desires), when you pray (the value of prayer, without which these things cannot be done), believe (have faith) that you receive them, and you shall have them (as is obvious here, the receiving of these things, whatever they might be, requires relationship, and that is the key). 25 And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have ought against any (implying, that the above Promises will not be honored, if we harbor unforgiveness): that your Father also which is in Heaven may forgive you your trespasses (forgiveness from the Lord on our part, is predicated on us forgiving others). 26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in Heaven forgive your trespasses (implies, unforgiveness breaks down relationship, which destroys the whole program of God; in such a case, our sins are not forgiven, and neither can we expect God to answer prayer; these are extremely serious implications).
Acts 20:35 I have showed you all things (means that this particular aspect of unselfishness is to serve as an example), how that so labouring you ought to support the weak (everything the Believer does is to set a spiritual example), and to remember the Words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive (these words are not recorded in the Gospels; however, we know that only a tiny part of what He said and did is recorded; Peter, or one of the other Apostles who were with Jesus, evidently related this to Paul).
Hebrews 13:18 Pray for us (presents a common request by Paul [Rom. 15:30; Eph. 6:18; Col. 4:3; I Thess. 5:25; II Thess. 3:1]): for we trust we have a good conscience (concerns all things; however, I personally think the Apostle is speaking here of the way he has handled the Law of Moses regarding this Epistle to the Hebrews), in all things willing to live honestly. (This refers to his daily living for the Lord.)
THE GOLDEN RULE
Luke 6:31-42 And as you would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise (this is the Verse referred to as the “Golden Rule”; it is also a teaching of the Law [Lev. 19:18]). 32 For if you love them which love you, what thank have you? (The idea is Jesus loved us when we were unlovable [Rom. 5:8], and we are to do the same for them who are unlovable.) for sinners also love those that love them (to love those who do not love us portrays Godliness). 33 And if you do good to them which do good to you, what thank have you? for sinners also do even the same (the rule of man is to return good for good and evil for evil; then beneath this there is the returning of evil for good, which is devilish; while above it there is the returning of good for evil, which is Divine —that commanded of the followers of Christ). 34 And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thank have you? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again (how can we call it “lending,”if it is not to be repaid? Solomon gave the answer: “He who has pity upon the poor lends unto the LORD; and that which he has given will He pay him again”[Prov. 19:17]); and your reward shall be great (the idea is the Lord will repay, and He does so abundantly), and you shall be the children of the Highest (means that we will be like our Heavenly Father): for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil (what we should do as well). 36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful (as He has been merciful to us, we are to be merciful to others; everything we do is to be based on what He has done for us). JUDGING OTHERS 37 Judge not (do not judge one’s motives), and you shall not be judged (implying that you will be judged by the Lord, if you do not obey this admonition): condemn not (do not pass sentence), and you shall not be condemned (meaning conversely, that if you pass sentence on others, the Lord will ultimately pass sentence on you): forgive, and you shall be forgiven (implying that if you do not forgive, God will not forgive you, which puts a person in a terrible dilemma): 38 Give, and it shall be given unto you (God’s economy; it refers not only to the giving of money, but as well to mercy, grace, love, help, etc.); good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom (constitutes a remarkable Promise). For with the same measure that you mete withal it shall be measured to you again (is a Law of God which everyone should take very seriously, for Christ means exactly what He says). 39 And He spoke a Parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? (These are false religious teachers.) 40 The disciple is not above his master (those who listen to false teachers will become as perfectly deluded as their masters, for pupils cannot see more clearly than their teachers; hence, the disciples of Romanism, Mormonism, etc., become as wholly deluded as their teachers): but every one who is perfect shall be as his master (would have been better translated, “but every one who has been perfected,”i.e., “embraced this false doctrine,”shall be as his teacher). 41 And why behold thou the mote that is in your brother’s eye (don’t look for faults in others), but perceive not the beam that is in your own eye? (If you want to inspect, inspect yourself. You have plenty there to inspect, which desperately needs improvement.) 42 Either how can you say to your brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in your eye, when you yourself behold not the beam that is in your own eye? (This does not pertain to doctrine, which must be judged constantly [Mat. 7:15-20], but rather one’s person and character. Once again, we have enough about ourselves that needs improving, rather than condemning others.) Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of your own eye, and then shall you see clearly to pull out the mote that is in your brother’s eye (if we deal with ourselves as we should, then we will then be able to “see clearly,”which means we’ll have no desire to find fault with others).
Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets (this rule does not authorize capricious benevolent action, but only what is reasonable and morally helpful, and controlled by Divine imitation [Mat. 5:48]; this principle of action and mode of life is, in fact, the sum of all Bible teaching).
GOD SAID IT, I BELIEVE IT AND THAT SETTLES IT.
I WOULD RATHER HAVE MY LIFE, BE ALL ABOUT GOD, SPEAK ALL ABOUT GOD, EVERYHING BE ABOUT GOD BECAUSE, EVERYTHING WE HAVE, OUR BODIES AND EVERYTHING BELONGS TOO GOD EXCEPT, THE THINGS THAT BELONGS TOO SATAN.

THE GOLDEN RULE
Luke 6:31-42 And as you would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise (this is the Verse referred to as the “Golden Rule”; it is also a teaching of the Law [Lev. 19:18]). 32 For if you love them which love you, what thank have you? (The idea is Jesus loved us when we were unlovable [Rom. 5:8], and we are to do the same for them who are unlovable.) for sinners also love those that love them (to love those who do not love us portrays Godliness). 33 And if you do good to them which do good to you, what thank have you? for sinners also do even the same (the rule of man is to return good for good and evil for evil; then beneath this there is the returning of evil for good, which is devilish; while above it there is the returning of good for evil, which is Divine —that commanded of the followers of Christ). 34 And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thank have you? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again (how can we call it “lending,”if it is not to be repaid?

DOING THINGS MY WAY
DOING THINGS MY WAY
(King James Expositor Study Bible).
Isaiah 55:7-8 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. (A general promise of forgiveness of sin upon Repentance and amendment of life was implied by the Lord from the very beginning [Gen. 4:4], but was actually given to Israel through Solomon [II Chron. 7:14]. The Doctrine is largely preached by the Prophet, but is nowhere so distinctly and emphatically laid down as in this place. God’s Will is to “multiply pardon,”if man will only turn to Him. The words, “abundantly pardon,”have the idea of “Justification by Faith.”God sets the sin aside as though it never happened, which can only be brought about by Faith in Christ and what Christ did at the Cross, of which the Sacrifices in Isaiah’s day were symbols.) 8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My Ways, says the LORD. (The idea of this Passage is that the “thoughts”of God and the “Ways”of God are so far above the comprehension of man, that man must take these statements by Faith. However, Verse 8, in essence, points toward the Sacrifice of Christ, which would be nearly 800 years into the future, and which would bring about the Redemption of mankind, at least for those who will believe.)
II Chronicles 7:14 If My People, who are called by My Name (Believers), shall humble themselves (humility), and pray, and seek My Face (the prayer of Repentance), and turn from their wicked ways (which proclaims the manner of true Repentance); then will I hear from Heaven (but not otherwise), and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (God’s Prescription for spiritual sickness).
After Repentance, there must a change in Living and a change in the way we talk.

THE LAW OF MOSES IN THE NEW AND OLD TESTAMENT. Part 1
THE LAW OF MOSES IN THE NEW AND OLD TESTAMENT. Part 1
(King James Expositor Study Bible).
(Old Testament).
Exodus 20:3-17 You shall have no other gods before Me (the manner in which this First Commandment is given indicates that each individual of the nation is addressed severally, and is required personally to obey the Law, a mere general national obedience being insufficient; this Commandment requires the worship of one God Alone, Jehovah; it implies, in point of fact, that there is no other God). 4 You shall not make unto yourself any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in Heaven above, or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the water under the Earth. 5 You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them who hate Me; 6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them who love Me, and keep My Commandments. (The prohibition intended here does not forbid the arts of sculpture, painting, photography, etc., or even to condemn the use of them, but to disallow the worship of God under material forms. Those who ignore this Commandment are guilty of the sin of idolatry. Also, many have tried to derive from Verse 5 that which they refer to as the “family curse”; however, let it be known and understood, every curse was addressed at the Cross of Calvary [Gal. 3:13-14]. As well, Jesus has perfectly kept all the Commandments, and all who trust Him, and what He did for us at the Cross, are participants of God’s gracious Mercy.) 7 You shall not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His Name in vain (taking the Name of the Lord in vain pertains to all blasphemy, all swearing, all perjury and, in fact, all irreverent use of God’s Name in ordinary life). 8 Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labour, and do all your work: 10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath Day, and hallowed it. (The seventh day was not so much to be a day of worship, as we think of such now, but rather a day of “rest.”Even the very beasts, pressed into man’s service since the Fall, shall rest. All were to observe this day. Everything pertaining to the Law of Moses, in some way, spoke of Christ. The “Sabbath”was no exception. It was meant to portray the fact that there is “rest”in Christ and, in fact, that there is rest “only in Christ”[Mat. 11:28-30]. So, when a person presently accepts Christ, they are in effect keeping the Sabbath, which speaks of the “rest”that we have in Christ —rest from self-effort to attain unto Righteousness. Even though there was no written command by the Holy Spirit to do so, gradually we find Believers, during the time of the Early Church, as recorded in the Book of Acts, making Sunday, the first day of the week, the day of our Lord’s Resurrection, their day of worship, etc., which is different than the Sabbath of old, because Christ has fulfilled in totality the old Jewish Sabbath.) 12 Honour your father and your mother: that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God gives you (honoring the father and the mother sets the stage for the honoring of God; the first five Commandments have to do with man’s obligation toward God, while the last five have to do with his obligation toward his fellowman). 13 You shall not kill (should have been translated, “Thou shalt do no murder”; God, in His Holy Word, commands magistrates to put evil men to death [Rom. 13:4]; that is not murder; to “kill”and to “commit murder”are two different verbs in the Hebrew Text). 14 You shall not commit adultery (regarding this sin, both man and woman are placed in the same category; our duty toward our neighbor is to respect the bond on which the family is based, and that conjugal honor which to the true man is dearer than life; marriage, according to the original institution, makes the husband and wife “one flesh”[Gen. 2:24]; and to break in upon this sacramental union was at once a crime and a profanity; it is a sin against man and against God). 15 You shall not steal (as it regards our neighbor, we are to respect his property; we simply don’t take that which doesn’t belong to us). 16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour (false witness is of two kinds, public and private; we may either seek to damage our neighbor by giving false evidence against him in a court of justice, or simply culminate him to others in our social intercourse with them). 17 You shall not covet your neighbour’s house, you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is your neighbour’s (covetousness addresses what causes the evil deed; this Commandment teaches men that there is One Who sees the heart; to Whose Eyes “all things are naked and open”; and Who cares far less for the outward act than the inward thought or motive from which the act proceeds).
(New Testament).
1. Thou shall have no other gods before me.
Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said unto him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind (this is the foundation of all the Law, and as well, applies to the present Day of Grace). 38 This is the first and great Commandment (Love of God must be “first”before anything else can be claimed). 39 And the second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself (as one loves their neighbor, accordingly, one loves God). 40 On these two Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets (this includes the New Testament, as well!).
2. Thou shalt not make upon any graven image.
1 John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. (This does not refer here to the heathen worship of idol gods, but of the heretical substitutes for the Christian conception of God, or anything that pulls us away from Christ and the Cross.)
Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Matthew 5:33-37 Again, you have heard that it has been said by them of old time (such phraseology means that the Word of God had been twisted to mean something it did not say), You shall not forswear yourself, but shall perform unto the Lord your oaths (Vss. 33-37 have to do with the Third Commandment, “You shall not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain”[Ex. 20:7]): 34 But I say unto you (proclaiming the true meaning of the Law), Swear not at all; neither by Heaven; for it is God’s Throne (this has nothing to do with profanity, but rather of flippantly using God’s Name): 35 Nor by the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King (not only must the Name of God not be flippantly used, but as well, His Creation is off limits also). 36 Neither shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black (man is God’s highest creation). 37 But let your communication be (verbal communication with others), Yes, yes; No, no: for whatsoever is more than these comes of evil (the followers of Christ must stand out by their truthfulness, honesty, and integrity; subterfuge and doubletalk are out).
James 5:12 But above all things, my Brethren, swear not, neither by Heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath (refers to the fact that the Lord is guiding every Believer, even in times of trial, and correspondingly we must not lose Faith, thereby, taking matters into our own hands): but let your yes be yes; and your no, no; lest you fall into condemnation. (Even though we do not understand the reason for the situation, whatever it might be, we aren’t to question the Lord!)
Remeber the Sabath day and keep it Holy.
Hebrews 4:4, 8 For He (God) spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise (Gen. 2:3), And God did rest the seventh day from all His Works. (God ceased from the Work of Creation simply because the Creation was finished.) 8 For if Jesus (should have been translated, “Joshua”) had given them Rest (refers to the fact that even though Joshua was able to lead Israel into the land of Canaan by the Power of the Holy Spirit, this was only a symbol of the True Rest which was to come, namely the Lord Jesus Christ), then would He (God) not afterward have spoken of another day (meaning the Law could not bring about what was desired, but definitely did point to that which was to come, namely the Lord Jesus Christ).
Matthew 12:8 For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath day (rejected by the nation as Messiah the King, He now presented Himself to them as Elohim the Creator of the Sabbath).
Luke 4:16 And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up (makes vivid the fact that Jesus was Very Man, even as He was Very God): and, as His custom was (in our language presently He was faithful to Church), He went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read (it was common to ask visitors to expound on the Word).
Mark 2:27 And He said unto them (its original construction contains the idea that He said these things over, and over; it took some talking to get the idea across to their minds, which were warped with a warped theology), The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath (the force of the argument is this: the Sabbath was made on account of man, not man on account of the Sabbath; the Sabbath was a day of rest; it was meant to point to the “spiritual rest”which would come in Christ):
5. Honour thy father and thy mother.
Ephesians 6:1-3
DUTIES OF CHILDREN
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. (This means to be under authority. As well, it refers to parents who know God. If not, they are to be obeyed as far as possible, but not in that which violates the Scripture.) 2 Honour your father and mother (all of this is important because family Government is designed to be an imitation of the Government of God); (which is the first Commandment with Promise;) 3 That it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth ([Deut. 5:16; Ex. 20:12], as should be obvious, failure to obey carries a penalty).
(King James Expositor Study Bible).
(Old Testament).
Exodus 20:3-17 You shall have no other gods before Me (the manner in which this First Commandment is given indicates that each individual of the nation is addressed severally, and is required personally to obey the Law, a mere general national obedience being insufficient; this Commandment requires the worship of one God Alone, Jehovah; it implies, in point of fact, that there is no other God). 4 You shall not make unto yourself any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in Heaven above, or that is in the Earth beneath, or that is in the water under the Earth. 5 You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them who hate Me; 6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them who love Me, and keep My Commandments. (The prohibition intended here does not forbid the arts of sculpture, painting, photography, etc., or even to condemn the use of them, but to disallow the worship of God under material forms. Those who ignore this Commandment are guilty of the sin of idolatry. Also, many have tried to derive from Verse 5 that which they refer to as the “family curse”; however, let it be known and understood, every curse was addressed at the Cross of Calvary [Gal. 3:13-14]. As well, Jesus has perfectly kept all the Commandments, and all who trust Him, and what He did for us at the Cross, are participants of God’s gracious Mercy.) 7 You shall not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His Name in vain (taking the Name of the Lord in vain pertains to all blasphemy, all swearing, all perjury and, in fact, all irreverent use of God’s Name in ordinary life). 8 Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labour, and do all your work: 10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath Day, and hallowed it.

THE LAW OF MOSES IN THE NEW AND OLD TESTAMENT. Part 2
THE LAW OF MOSES IN THE NEW AND OLD TESTAMENT.
Part 2 (King James Expositor Study Bible)
Matthew 19:19 Honour your father and your mother: and, you shall love your neighbour as yourself (this latter Commandment is taken from Lev. 19:18; it was not a part of the original Ten, but actually summed up all the Commandments, which dealt with one’s fellowman).
Matthew 15:4-6 For God commanded, saying, Honour your father and mother: and, He who curses father or mother, let him die the death (Ex. 20:12; 21:17). 5 But you say (in direct contradiction to what God commanded), Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift (dedicate their estate to the Temple so that they wouldn’t have to take care of their aged parents, and a crooked Priest would then give it back to them, after taking a percentage), by whatsoever you might be profited by Me (making an illegal profit off of God, which compounded their sin); 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free (free from responsibility). Thus have you made the Commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
6. Thou shall not kill.
JESUS AND ANGER
Matthew 5:21-22 You have heard that it was said by them of old time (referring back to the Law of Moses), Thou shall not kill (should have been translated, You shall not murder); and whosoever shall kill (murder) shall be in danger of the judgment (Ex. 20:13; Lev. 24:21; Num., Chpt. 35; Deut. 5:17; 19:12); 22 But I say unto you (Christ gives the true interpretation of the Bible, with in fact, the Bible and Christ, in essence, being one and the same), That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause (places unjust anger in the same category as murder, i.e., “springs from an evil heart”) shall be in danger of the judgment (certain of judgment): and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca (the words “Raca”and “thou fool”were Hebrew expressions of murderous anger), shall be in danger of the Council (Sanhedrin): but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire (men may beat justice in a human court of law, but will never do such in God’s Court of Law).
Matthew 19:18 He said unto him, Which? (A ridiculous question!) Jesus said, you shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness (Jesus didn’t say keep one Commandment, but rather all of them, which the man had not done, nor any other man for that matter — except Christ),
1 John 3:15 Whosoever hates his Brother is a murderer (the absence of love proclaims the presence of hatred; where hatred is, there is murder): and you know that no murderer has Eter nal Life abiding in him (comes back to the absence of love).
James 2:11 For he who said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you commit no adultery, yet if you kill, you are become a transgressor of the Law. (The breaking of even one Commandment puts the person in the position of a “transgressor.”)
7. Thou shall not commit adultery.
James 2:11 For he who said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you commit no adultery, yet if you kill, you are become a transgressor of the Law. (The breaking of even one Commandment puts the person in the position of a “transgressor.”)
Matthew 19:18 He said unto him, Which? (A ridiculous question!) Jesus said, you shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness (Jesus didn’t say keep one Commandment, but rather all of them, which the man had not done, nor any other man for that matter — except Christ),
Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication (an adulterous lifestyle), and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoso marries her which is put away doth commit adultery (if the marriage is dissolved for Scriptural grounds —fornication or desertion [I Cor. 7:15], remarriage is Scripturally allowed).
Matthew 5:27-28 You have heard that it was said by them of old time (the Mosaic Law), You shall not commit adultery (the Seventh Commandment [Ex. 20:14]). 28 But I say unto you (the phrase does not deny the Law of Moses, but rather takes it to its conclusion, which could only be done by Christ; the Old Covenant pointed the way to the New Covenant, which came with Christ), That whosoever looks on a woman to lust after her (to look with intense sexual desire) has committed adultery with her already in his heart (the Lord addresses the root of sin, which is an evil heart; the Cross is the only answer).
8. Thou shall not steal
Matthew 19:18 He said unto him, Which? (A ridiculous question!) Jesus said, you shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness (Jesus didn’t say keep one Commandment, but rather all of them, which the man had not done, nor any other man for that matter — except Christ),
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness.
Matthew 19:18 He said unto him, Which? (A ridiculous question!) Jesus said, you shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness (Jesus didn’t say keep one Commandment, but rather all of them, which the man had not done, nor any other man for that matter — except Christ),
10. Thou shall not covet.
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? (In Verses 1 through 6 of this Chapter, Paul has shown that the Believer is no longer under Law; in the remainder of the Chapter, he shows that a Believer putting himself under Law, thus failing to avail himself of the resources of Grace, is a defeated Christian.) Is the Law sin? God forbid (man’s condition is not caused by the Law of God, for the Law is Holy; rather it is exposed). No, I had not known sin, but by the Law (means that the Law of Moses defined what sin actually is, but gave no power to overcome sin): for I had not known lust, except the Law had said, You shall not covet (tells us that the desire for what is forbidden is the first conscious form of sin; this is the sin nature at work!). 8 But sin (the sin nature), taking occasion by the Commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence (“concupiscence”is “evil desire,”meaning, if the Believer attempts to live for God by means other than the Cross, he will be ruled by “evil desires”; and no matter how dedicated he might be otherwise, he will not be able to stop the process in that manner, with it getting worse and worse). For without the Law sin was dead (means that the Law of Moses fully exposed what was already in man’s heart; that’s one of the reasons God gave the Law).
We are under Grace, due to Faith in Jesus Christ, the Cross and Him Crucified. If you are Saved? Why would you not want keep the Law as an example to look at for guidence, through Jesus Christ?
The Law of Moses will not Save you because, there is no Salvation in the Law and yes, God did away with the Law but, as you have just red, in the New Testiment, it is still important today because, by living in sin in any way without Repentance and without a change, there will be a consciences that your soul will have to deal with in hell, if there is no Repentance.
What Saves? By Faith through Jesus Christ the Cross and Him Crucified but, you still need to Repent and try to stop living in sin. God will Save you from sin but, not in your sins.
Think really hard on this and Come to the Cross (come to Jesus Christ) and Repent and you will be Saved.

Matthew 15:4-6 For God commanded, saying, Honour your father and mother: and, He who curses father or mother, let him die the death (Ex. 20:12; 21:17). 5 But you say (in direct contradiction to what God commanded), Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift (dedicate their estate to the Temple so that they wouldn’t have to take care of their aged parents, and a crooked Priest would then give it back to them, after taking a percentage), by whatsoever you might be profited by Me (making an illegal profit off of God, which compounded their sin); 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free (free from responsibility).

No, I had not known sin, but by the Law (means that the Law of Moses defined what sin actually is, but gave no power to overcome sin): for I had not known lust, except the Law had said, You shall not covet (tells us that the desire for what is forbidden is the first conscious form of sin; this is the sin nature at work!). 8 But sin (the sin nature), taking occasion by the Commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence (“concupiscence”is “evil desire,”meaning, if the Believer attempts to live for God by means other than the Cross, he will be ruled by “evil desires”; and no matter how dedicated he might be otherwise, he will not be able to stop the process in that manner, with it getting worse and worse). For without the Law sin was dead (means that the Law of Moses fully exposed what was already in man’s heart; that’s one of the reasons God gave the Law).
We are under Grace, due to Faith in Jesus Christ, the Cross and Him Crucified. If you are Saved? Why would you not want keep the Law as an example to look at for guidence, through Jesus Christ?
The Law of Moses will not Save you because, there is no Salvation in the Law and yes, God did away with the Law but, as you have just red, in the New Testiment, it is still important today because, by living in sin in any way without Repentance and without a change, there will be a consciences that your soul will have to deal with in hell, if there is no Repentance.
What Saves? By Faith through Jesus Christ the Cross and Him Crucified but, you still need to Repent and try to stop living in sin. God will Save you from sin but, not in your sins.
Think really hard on this and Come to the Cross (come to Jesus Christ) and Repent and you will be Saved.
FOUL MOUTH = FOUL HEART.
FOUL MOUTH = FOUL HEART.
Ephesians 5:3-4 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becomes Saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient (out of character): but rather giving of thanks. (The Believer’s protection against all these sins is the Cross of Christ, and the Cross alone. Keeping the Cross as the Object of one’s Faith guarantees Victory [Gal. 6:14], and for that we are ever to give thanks to God.)
James 3:10-11 Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing (presents the tongue devoted to uses so different). My Brethren, these things ought not so to be. (If the Lord has His Way in our hearts and lives, they won’t be.) 11 Does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? (Of necessity, this question must be answered in the negative.)
Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth (let no slander or faithlessness proceed out of your mouth), but that which is good to the use of edifying (does what we are saying buildup or tear down?), that it may Minister Grace unto the hearers (a Blessing). 30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God (proclaims the fact that the utterance of evil or worthless words is repugnant to the Holiness of the Spirit), whereby you are sealed unto the Day of Redemption. (This should have been translated, “In Whom you are sealed unto the Day of Redemption.”The Holy Spirit is Himself the Seal God has placed on us.)
If your a cussing Saint (Christian), then you are Cussing sinner that has fallen from God's Grace.

Dogs in the mire
Dogs in the mire
Proverbs 26:11
As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly. (Peter referred to this Proverb by using it in reference to backsliders who go back into sin [II Pet. 2:22]. This shows that Peter was a student of the Proverbs.) 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true Proverb (Prov. 26:11), The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. (This completely refutes the Unscriptural Doctrine of Unconditional Security, and gives the reason — a departure from Christ and the Cross.)

THE CROSS
THE CROSS.
IF YOU, DO NOT UDERSTAND THE CROSS? YOU WON'T BE SAVED, UNTIL YOU DO.
1 Peter 2:24-25 Who His Own Self bear our sins in His Own Body on the tree (gave Himself in Sacrifice on the Cross, taking the full penalty for our sins, which was physical death; it was not Christ’s suffering that redeemed us, although that definitely was a part of what happened, but rather the price He paid by the giving of Himself), that we, being dead to sins, should live unto Righteousness (we are “dead to sins”by virtue of us being “in Christ”when He died on the Cross, which is done by our exhibiting Faith in Christ [Rom. 6:3-5]; and we were raised with Him in “newness of life,”which guarantees us a perfect, spotless Righteousness): by Whose stripes you were healed. (This refers to the healing of our souls, and the healing of our physical body as well. The Atonement included everything man lost in the Fall, but we only have the Firstfruits now, with the balance coming at the Resurrection [Rom. 8:23].) 25 For you were as sheep going astray (we were like a flock without a shepherd); but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls (refers to the Lord Jesus Christ; He Alone is the True “Shepherd,”and He Alone is the True “Bishop”of our souls; if we allow man to take His Place, we spiritually wreck ourselves; man can only serve as an under-shepherd).
Romans 6:3-5 Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ (plainly says that this Baptism is into Christ and not water [I Cor. 1:17; 12:13; Gal. 3:27; Eph. 4:5; Col. 2:11-13]) were baptized into His Death? (When Christ died on the Cross, in the Mind of God, we died with Him; in other words, He became our Substitute, and our identification with Him in His Death gives us all the benefits for which He died; the idea is that He did it all for us!) 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death (not only did we die with Him, but we were buried with Him as well, which means that all the sin and transgression of the past were buried; when they put Him in the Tomb, they put all of our sins into that Tomb as well): that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the Glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life (we died with Him, we were buried with Him, and His Resurrection was our Resurrection to a “Newness of Life”). 5 For if we have been planted together (with Christ) in the likeness of His Death (Paul proclaims the Cross as the instrument through which all Blessings come; consequently, the Cross must ever be the Object of our Faith, which gives the Holy Spirit latitude to work within our lives), we shall be also in the likeness of His Resurrection (we can have the “likeness of His Resurrection,”i.e., “live this Resurrection Life,”only as long as we understand the “likeness of His Death,”which refers to the Cross as the Means by which all of this is done):
Romans 8:23 And not only they (the Creation, and all it entails), but ourselves also (refers to Believers), which have the Firstfruits of the Spirit (even though Jesus addressed every single thing lost in the Fall at the Cross, we only have a part of that possession now, with the balance coming at the Resurrection), even we ourselves groan within ourselves (proclaims the obvious fact that all Jesus paid for in the Atonement has not yet been fully realized), waiting for the Adoption (should be translated, “waiting for the fulfillment of the process, which Adoption into the Family of God guarantees”), to wit, the Redemption of our body (the glorifying of our physical body that will take place at the Resurrection)..

Are You Saved?
Are You Saved?
Have you been saved? Have you come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? It is a question that is almost exclusive to Christianity.
The word saved in the Bible had three tenses. We were saved from the penalty of sin the very moment we put our trust in Christ Jesus as our savior. We are now being saved from the power of sin by the process of progressive sanctification.
Moreover, we shall be saved from the presence of sin at the coming of our Lord in His glory.
We were justified by faith in Christ, we are being sanctified by the Holy Spirit and we shall be glorified when Christ returns for us.
The word salvation is related to the good news of the atoning death of Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul wrote, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek" (Romans 1:16).
God has delivered us from the penalty and power of sin and has preserved us with His gift of eternal life. It is the sum of all blessings bestowed by God through Jesus Christ.
It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we can ever be saved. Acts 4:12 says, "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” “For whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).
In salvation God deals with the whole person: spirit, mind and body. The gospel of salvation includes justification, sanctification and glorification.
In the context of this great verse, the apostle Paul reminds his readers, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them" (Romans 1:18-19).
Therefore, we are all without excuse. "And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things" (Romans 2:2). What “things”? Paul tells us in vivid detail in 1:18-3:20.
The Jews were guilty of breaking God’s revealed law. "For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified" (Romans 2:13). The only problem is no one, but Jesus Christ ever lived up to the Law. All stand guilty before God. “There is none righteous, not even one” (3:10). “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (v. 23).
In vivid contrast Jesus Christ revealed the perfect righteousness of God.
However, not only have the Jewish people broken the written Law of God, but “When Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus" (Romans 2:14-16).
What was the problem? Again all stand guilty before God. “For there is no partiality with God. For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves” (Romans 2:11-14).
What is the solution since we are all depraved sinners? Jesus Christ is our only hope. Salvation is a gift of God by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Rom. 3:22-25; Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 5:6-8, 10:9-10, 13:8-11).
"For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17)

DISCERNMENT IN YOUR DECISIONS. Part 1
DISCERNMENT IN YOUR DECISIONS. Part 1
In your decisions of where to Worship, who to listen to, who to hang around with, who to be friends with, who to marry, what activities that you choose to get involved in and on what places to hang out at, must all be maid in discernment because, it may or may not be of God or godly and evil spirits could be present. If, if you are a Reborn Again (Saved Christian)? You are to avoid such places and things, due to false doctrines from evil spirits. They can lead your soul to hell. Let get started on reading about what God, has to say on this subject.
TEST THE SPIRITS
1 John 4:1-21 Beloved, believe not every spirit (behind every doctrine there is a “spirit”; if it’s true Doctrine, the Holy Spirit; if it’s false doctrine, evil spirits), but try the spirits whether they are of God (the criteria is, “is it Scriptural?”): because many false prophets are gone out into the world (and they continue unto this hour). 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God (as Believers, we are to know what the Spirit of God sanctions): Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God (the Incarnation of Christ speaks of the Cross of Christ, the very reason for which He came; this means the Spirit of God will place his sanction on the Cross and the Cross alone; anything else is not of God): 3 And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God (Christ came in the flesh to go to the Cross; this refutes the error of Gnosticism, which claims the flesh of Christ was evil, as much as all matter they claim is evil; also, anyone who denigrates or even minimizes the Cross in any way is not of God): and this is that spirit of Antichrist (the spirit that denies the Cross is the spirit of the Antichrist), whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. (The Doctrine of the Cross is essential to the Christian system. He who does not hold it cannot be either regarded as a Christian or recognized as a Christian Teacher.) 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them (some of the Christians of John’s day were tempted to believe the doctrine that denigrated the Cross, but had overcome that temptation): because greater is He (the Holy Spirit) Who is in you, than he (Satan) who is in the world. 5 They are of the world (refers to the false teachers of Verse 3): therefore speak they of the world (refers to the fact that the source of their false doctrines is the world), and the world hears them (because the false teachers are saying what the world wants to hear). 6 We are of God (those who accept Christ and the Cross): he who knows God hears us; he who is not of God hears not us. (Man’s attitude toward the Message of the Incarnate Saviour ranks him on God’s side or the world’s.) Hereby know we the Spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error. (The “Spirit of Truth”is the Holy Spirit, Who leads us into all Truth, which refers to “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified [I Cor. 1:23; 2:2]. The “spirit of error”refers to any doctrine that denigrates or ignores the Cross, which is fostered by Satan, who employs seducing spirits [I Tim. 4:1].)
GOD IS LOVE
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God (speaks of agape love, of which the world knows nothing, and, in fact, cannot have to any degree); and every one who loves is born of God, and knows God. (This is the God kind of love, and cannot be faked. In fact, something will always happen to show what type of love the person possesses, whether it’s the God kind or that of the world.) 8 He who loves not knows not God; for God is love. (“As to His nature, God is love.”) 9 In this was manifested the Love of God toward us (if we truly have the Love of God in our hearts, we will, as well, manifest such love toward our fellowman), because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world (our Lord is the uniquely Begotten Son of God in the sense that He proceeds by eternal generation from God the Father, co-possessing eternally with God the Father and God the Spirit the essence of Deity), that we might live through Him. (It is only through Christ and what He did at the Cross that we can find life, and, as well, live through Him as He lives through us [Gal. 2:20].) 10 Herein is love (the Greek says, “herein is the love”), not that we loved God, but that He loved us (the unconverted human race does not love God; nevertheless, He loved the human race), and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (“Propitiation”is the Sacrifice, which fully satisfied the demands of the broken Law and did so by our Lord’s Death on Calvary’s Cross. His Death eternally satisfied the Righteousness of God.) 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. (The Love of God is portrayed by the Cross more so than anything else. For us to understand His Love, we have to first understand the Cross.) 12 No man has seen God at any time. (The idea is no one has ever yet seen Deity in all its essence.) If we love one another, God dwells in us (Saints having this agape love habitually for one another show that this love, which God is in His Nature, has accomplished its purpose in our lives), and His love is perfected in us. (The words “His Love”do not refer to our love for Him, or even to His Love for us, but to the Love that is peculiarly His own, which answers to His Nature.) 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and He in us (“dwells”speaks of fellowship between two or more individuals; in this case, God and ourselves), because He has given us of His Spirit. (The Holy Spirit has been caused to take up His permanent Residence in us.) 14 And we have seen and do testify (John was an eyewitness of Jesus Christ, both to Who He was and to What He did as well) that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. (His Mission was to Redeem lost humanity, which He did at the Cross.) 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God (the confession John speaks of here is a lifetime confession, and represents the sustained attitude of the heart), God dwells in him, and he in God (proclaims the union of the Father in the Believer and the Believer in the Father, all made possible by what Christ did at the Cross). 16 And we have known and believed the Love that God has to us. (The love God has shown to us is manifested in Him giving His Son to die on the Cross.) God is Love (which is proven by His Act of the giving of His Only Son); and he who dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him. (This is all made possible by the Cross, and only by the Cross.) 17 Herein is our love made perfect (our love is brought to fruition, i.e., “made complete,”by a continued confession of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and what He did for us on the Cross), that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment (the Judgment addressed here is the coming “Judgment Seat of Christ): because as He is, so are we in this world. (Christ is totally victorious, and due to the fact that we are in Him, we as well can be totally victorious in this world.) 18 There is no fear in love (the type of “fear”spoken of here is not a godly fear or a filial reverence, but rather a slavish fear for a master or of a criminal before a Judge); but perfect love casts out fear (God has a Perfect Love for us, and if we have a perfect love for Him, which we surely can have, then we know He is going to sustain us, so there’s nothing then to fear): because fear has torment. (It is guilt that makes men fear what is to come.) He who fears is not made perfect in love. (If we do not properly understand the Cross, then we are not made perfect in love.) 19 We love Him, because He first loved us. (The first initiation of Love was on the part of God, and not us, as was necessary.) 20 If a man say, I love God, and hates his Brother, he is a liar (as James said, “does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?”[James 3:11]): for he who loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God Whom he has not seen? (If a professed Christian does not love one who bears the Divine Image, whom he sees and knows, how can he love God, Whose Image he bears, yet has not seen?) 21 And this Commandment have we from Him (the Holy Spirit, through John, proclaims all of this as a “Commandment”), That he who loves God love his Brother also. (True love for God will always bring forth the correct action.)
1 Corinthians 12:8-11 For to one is given by the Spirit (proclaims the Holy Spirit as being the One Who carries out the instructions of Christ, relative to who gets what) the Word of Wisdom (pertains to information concerning the future, whether of people, places, or things); to another the Word of Knowledge (concerns the past or the present, relative to persons, places, or things; it is to be noted that it’s “the Word of,”which means a small amount) by the same Spirit (it is the Holy Spirit Who functions in all of these Gifts); 9 To another Faith (special Faith) by the same Spirit; to another the Gifts of Healing (prayer for the sick) by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of Miracles (extraordinary things); to another Prophecy (this is for “edification, exhortation, and comfort [I Cor. 14:3]”; this has nothing to do with the Office of the Prophet); to another discerning of spirits (whether the Spirit of God, human spirits, or evil spirits); to another divers kinds of Tongues (meant to be interpreted); to another the interpretation of Tongues: 11 But all these work that one and the selfsame Spirit (refers to the fact that all the abilities and powers of the Gifts are produced and operated by the energy of the Spirit), dividing to every man severally as He (the Holy Spirit) will. (All the distribution is within the discretion of the Holy Spirit, which means that men or women cannot impart Gifts to other individuals. That is the domain of the Spirit Alone!)
In your decisions of where to Worship, who to listen to, who to hang around with, who to be friends with, who to marry, what activities that you choose to get involved in and on what places to hang out at, must all be maid in discernment because, it may or may not be of God or godly and evil spirits could be present. If, if you are a Reborn Again (Saved Christian)? You are to avoid such places and things, due to false doctrines from evil spirits. They can lead your soul to hell. Let get started on reading about what God, has to say on this subject.

1 John 4:1-21 Beloved, believe not every spirit (behind every doctrine there is a “spirit”; if it’s true Doctrine, the Holy Spirit; if it’s false doctrine, evil spirits), but try the spirits whether they are of God (the criteria is, “is it Scriptural?”): because many false prophets are gone out into the world (and they continue unto this hour). 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God (as Believers, we are to know what the Spirit of God sanctions): Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God (the Incarnation of Christ speaks of the Cross of Christ, the very reason for which He came; this means the Spirit of God will place his sanction on the Cross and the Cross alone; anything else is not of God): 3 And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God (Christ came in the flesh to go to the Cross; this refutes the error of Gnosticism, which claims the flesh of Christ was evil, as much as all matter they claim is evil; also, anyone who denigrates or even minimizes the Cross in any way is not of God): and this is that spirit of Antichrist (the spirit that denies the Cross is the spirit of the Antichrist), whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. (The Doctrine of the Cross is essential to the Christian system. He who does not hold it cannot be either regarded as a Christian or recognized as a Christian Teacher.) 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them (some of the Christians of John’s day were tempted to believe the doctrine that denigrated the Cross, but had overcome that temptation): because greater is He (the Holy Spirit) Who is in you, than he (Satan) who is in the world. 5 They are of the world (refers to the false teachers of Verse 3): therefore speak they of the world (refers to the fact that the source of their false doctrines is the world), and the world hears them (because the false teachers are saying what the world wants to hear). 6 We are of God (those who accept Christ and the Cross): he who knows God hears us; he who is not of God hears not us. (Man’s attitude toward the Message of the Incarnate Saviour ranks him on God’s side or the world’s.) Hereby know we the Spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error. (The “Spirit of Truth”is the Holy Spirit, Who leads us into all Truth, which refers to “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified [I Cor. 1:23; 2:2]. The “spirit of error”refers to any doctrine that denigrates or ignores the Cross, which is fostered by Satan, who employs seducing spirits [I Tim. 4:1].)
GOD IS LOVE
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God (speaks of agape love, of which the world knows nothing, and, in fact, cannot have to any degree); and every one who loves is born of God, and knows God. (This is the God kind of love, and cannot be faked. In fact, something will always happen to show what type of love the person possesses, whether it’s the God kind or that of the world.) 8 He who loves not knows not God; for God is love. (“As to His nature, God is love.”) 9 In this was manifested the Love of God toward us (if we truly have the Love of God in our hearts, we will, as well, manifest such love toward our fellowman), because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world (our Lord is the uniquely Begotten Son of God in the sense that He proceeds by eternal generation from God the Father, co-possessing eternally with God the Father and God the Spirit the essence of Deity), that we might live through Him. (It is only through Christ and what He did at the Cross that we can find life, and, as well, live through Him as He lives through us [Gal. 2:20].) 10 Herein is love (the Greek says, “herein is the love”), not that we loved God, but that He loved us (the unconverted human race does not love God; nevertheless, He loved the human race), and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (“Propitiation”is the Sacrifice, which fully satisfied the demands of the broken Law and did so by our Lord’s Death on Calvary’s Cross. His Death eternally satisfied the Righteousness of God.) 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. (The Love of God is portrayed by the Cross more so than anything else. For us to understand His Love, we have to first understand the Cross.) 12 No man has seen God at any time. (The idea is no one has ever yet seen Deity in all its essence.) If we love one another, God dwells in us (Saints having this agape love habitually for one another show that this love, which God is in His Nature, has accomplished its purpose in our lives), and His love is perfected in us. (The words “His Love”do not refer to our love for Him, or even to His Love for us, but to the Love that is peculiarly His own, which answers to His Nature.) 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and He in us (“dwells”speaks of fellowship between two or more individuals; in this case, God and ourselves), because He has given us of His Spirit. (The Holy Spirit has been caused to take up His permanent Residence in us.) 14 And we have seen and do testify (John was an eyewitness of Jesus Christ, both to Who He was and to What He did as well) that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. (His Mission was to Redeem lost humanity, which He did at the Cross.) 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God (the confession John speaks of here is a lifetime confession, and represents the sustained attitude of the heart), God dwells in him, and he in God (proclaims the union of the Father in the Believer and the Believer in the Father, all made possible by what Christ did at the Cross). 16 And we have known and believed the Love that God has to us. (The love God has shown to us is manifested in Him giving His Son to die on the Cross.) God is Love (which is proven by His Act of the giving of His Only Son); and he who dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him. (This is all made possible by the Cross, and only by the Cross.) 17 Herein is our love made perfect (our love is brought to fruition, i.e., “made complete,”by a continued confession of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and what He did for us on the Cross), that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment (the Judgment addressed here is the coming “Judgment Seat of Christ): because as He is, so are we in this world. (Christ is totally victorious, and due to the fact that we are in Him, we as well can be totally victorious in this world.) 18 There is no fear in love (the type of “fear”spoken of here is not a godly fear or a filial reverence, but rather a slavish fear for a master or of a criminal before a Judge); but perfect love casts out fear (God has a Perfect Love for us, and if we have a perfect love for Him, which we surely can have, then we know He is going to sustain us, so there’s nothing then to fear): because fear has torment. (It is guilt that makes men fear what is to come.) He who fears is not made perfect in love. (If we do not properly understand the Cross, then we are not made perfect in love.) 19 We love Him, because He first loved us. (The first initiation of Love was on the part of God, and not us, as was necessary.) 20 If a man say, I love God, and hates his Brother, he is a liar (as James said, “does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?”[James 3:11]): for he who loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God Whom he has not seen? (If a professed Christian does not love one who bears the Divine Image, whom he sees and knows, how can he love God, Whose Image he bears, yet has not seen?) 21 And this Commandment have we from Him (the Holy Spirit, through John, proclaims all of this as a “Commandment”), That he who loves God love his Brother also. (True love for God will always bring forth the correct action.)
1 Corinthians 12:8-11 For to one is given by the Spirit (proclaims the Holy Spirit as being the One Who carries out the instructions of Christ, relative to who gets what) the Word of Wisdom (pertains to information concerning the future, whether of people, places, or things); to another the Word of Knowledge (concerns the past or the present, relative to persons, places, or things; it is to be noted that it’s “the Word of,”which means a small amount) by the same Spirit (it is the Holy Spirit Who functions in all of these Gifts); 9 To another Faith (special Faith) by the same Spirit; to another the Gifts of Healing (prayer for the sick) by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of Miracles (extraordinary things); to another Prophecy (this is for “edification, exhortation, and comfort [I Cor. 14:3]”; this has nothing to do with the Office of the Prophet); to another discerning of spirits (whether the Spirit of God, human spirits, or evil spirits); to another divers kinds of Tongues (meant to be interpreted); to another the interpretation of Tongues: 11 But all these work that one and the selfsame Spirit (refers to the fact that all the abilities and powers of the Gifts are produced and operated by the energy of the Spirit), dividing to every man severally as He (the Holy Spirit) will. (All the distribution is within the discretion of the Holy Spirit, which means that men or women cannot impart Gifts to other individuals. That is the domain of the Spirit Alone!)
DISCERNMENT IN YOUR DECISIONS. Part 2
DISCERNMENT IN YOUR DECISIONS. Part 2
Mark 16:17-18 And these signs shall follow them who believe (not these “sins”shall follow them who believe); In My Name shall they cast out devils (demons —Jesus defeated Satan, fallen angels, and all demon spirits at the Cross [Col. 2:14-15]); they shall speak with new tongues (baptism with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking with other tongues [Acts 2:4]); 18 They shall take up serpents (put away demon spirits [Lk. 10:19] has nothing to do with reptiles); and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them (speaks of protection; in no way does it speak of purposely drinking poison, etc., in order to prove one’s faith; the word, “if,”speaks of accidental ingestion); they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (means to do so “in the Name of Jesus”[Acts 5:12; 13:3; 14:3; 19:11; 28:8; I Tim. 4:14; II Tim. 1:6; Heb. 6:2; James 5:14]).
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things (when Prophecies are given, or anything that claims to be of the Lord, it should be put to the test; the test is, “is it Scriptural?”); hold fast that which is good. (This refers to the sifting process of accepting that which is definitely of the Lord, and rejecting that which isn’t!)
Galations 5:22-23 But the Fruit of the Spirit (are not “fruits”but rather “Fruit”; they are to be looked at as a “whole,”which means they grow equally) is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, Faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no Law. (Against such there doesn’t need to be a Law. But let the Reader understand that this “Fruit”is of the “Holy Spirit,”and not of man. It can only develop as we are “led of the Spirit.”And we can only be led by the Spirit by making the Cross the Object of our Faith.)
Everything that you do? You must use discernment through the Holy Spirit and if it is not of God? If you are a Follower of Jesus Christ? You are to avoid it. That even goes for some Churches because, many Preach and teach on false doctrines. They will lead your soul to hell.
In my choices and decision's of what I do or take part in, I use discernment, through Jesus Christ because, not everything is good for this soul. I would rather follow the ways of God, than to follow the ways of man (ways of satan), that only leads to hell for all eternity.

SEEKER SENSITIVE
SEEKER SENSITIVE
I see postings like, be yourself, God maid you the way you are. The issue with that lie from hell is, God created you to serve and live for Him and to be a follower of Jesus Christ and Live and be more like Him. The confused souls who says be yourselves, are seeker sensitive and their soul is in danger of hell fire.
Next, you have souls that says the Cross is old fashioned and we no longer need to hear about the Cross. Friends, if there was no Cross, there would be no Blood shed for the sin in your lives. Without the Cross, there would be no Salvation and Victory to Heaven. Those souls who believes that there is no need to study and Preach about the Cross, is seeker sensitive and in great danger of hell fire.
There are souls who says that we don't need to Preach against sin, death and hell and says that we are Judging them.
Yes, we are Judging, Judging bad fruit in hopes, that souls will Repent and turn away from their sins so, they can be Saved. If souls are not warnned and those souls ends up in hell, you can be held accountable and their blood guilt, will be shared in your hands. If you are Reborn Again (Saved)? You are to Preach about Jesus Christ, the Cross and Him Crucified. You are also to Preach about Heaven, sin, death and hell and if you are not Preaching about and against sin, death and hell? You are seeker sensitive and on your way to hell.
If you are Reborn Again (Saved)? You are a new creature, a new creation, the old Man/old Women is gone. You then will have a new heart, new way of thinking, new way of speaking and living. In God's Word, He never said to stay the way you are. Being yourself is what placed you into sin and has placed your soul in trouble with God. Sin seperates souls from God and, that only leaves you, going to hell. You cannot walk with God and hold hands with Lucifer at the same time. Living a Holy Life on this planet, means your walking with God. Living a sinful, seekersensitive life, means your hold hands with Lucifer and on your way to hell.
Family and friends, you really need to think and Pray Hard about this, if you are seeker sensitive.
God Bless

Galatians 5:19 -21
Galatians 5:19 -21
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these (if one attempts to function by means of Law of any nature, the “works of the flesh”will be manifested in one’s life); Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like (if one is walking after the flesh [Rom. 8:1], one or more of these sins will manifest themselves in one’s life; the only way, and I mean the only way, one can walk in perpetual Victory is to understand that everything we receive from God comes to us by means of the Cross; consequently, the Cross must ever be the Object of our Faith; this being the case, the Holy Spirit, Who works exclusively within the confines of the Sacrifice of Christ, will exert His mighty Power on our behalf, which will enable us to live a Holy life): of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past (refers to the fact that the Apostle was not afraid to name specific sins), that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. (This tells us in no uncertain terms that if our Faith is not everlastingly in Christ and the Cross, we simply won’t make it. God doesn’t have two ways of Salvation and Victory, only one, and that is “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified.”)

WHOREDOM THROUH THE WORD OF GOD Part 1
WHOREDOM THROUH THE WORD OF GOD Part 1
(Please keep in mind as your reading all three parts, that I am speaking of willful whoredom, willful sins and willful stupidity, that fools wo refuses to Repent and stop doing them. The sinful things that you maybe doing, if you repent of them? You need to get rid and avoid them. Those who have gotten tattoos? You are pretty much stuck with them but, if you Repent from getting them and do not get anymore? God's Grace will Save you. Whores, stop it and get out of it and that also goes to the homsexuals and lesbians, get out of it and Repent and you all can be Saved as well. Those who have extreme piercings and men who also who wears womens garments and yes, earings in any part of your body, Repent and lose them. If you Repent and keep them? How much are you being really serious with God? You can be Saved from everything mentioned up above but, Repentance requires a change in the way you live and carry yourselves).
Lets get started.
WHOREDOM THROUH THE WORD OF GOD Part 1
(King James Expositor Study Bible).
Hosea 4:11-14 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. (Idol worship and its licentious rites destroy the understanding and make men insensible to their own good.)
ISRAEL’S IDOLATRY; JUDGMENT
12 My People ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declares unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms has caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God. (The phrase, “Their stocks,”refers to wooden idols. “Their staff”refers to divination rods [Ezek. 21:21-22].) 13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery. 14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people who do not understand shall fall. (The tops of mountains, of hills, and of houses were chosen for the worship of idols because they were nearer to the sun, moon, and stars. The wives and daughters were guilty of actual adultery, because their husbands and fathers had volunteered them to temple prostitution; consequently, the Lord, impatient with the recital of such shameful licentiousness and indignant at such presumptuous sinning, closes abruptly with the declaration of the ruin of all such offenders with the words, “the people who do not understand shall fall.”In other words, anyone who would have no more spiritual sense than this, especially those who belong to God, can expect coming Judgment.)
Ezekiel 23:19-20 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. (Recalling old sins frequently leads to a resumption of them.) 20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. (“For she doted upon their paramours,”refers to the Egyptian princes, whose favor Judah courted. She threw herself into the idolatrous ritual of Egypt with an almost orgiastic passion. The last phrase is likened to a wife who, in her unfaithfulness, not only commits adultery with a man, but has sexual relations with an animal. He uses such as an example to portray Judah leaving His Presence for the presence of the idol worshipping heathen.)

WHOREDOM THROUH THE WORD OF GOD Part 2
Revelation 17:1-18 CHAPTER 17 (A.D. 96)
(King James Expositor Study Bible).
THE GREAT WHORE
1 And there came one of the seven Angels which had the seven Vials, and talked with me (probably is the seventh Angel; however, we actually have no way of truly knowing), saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto you the judgment of the great whore who sits upon many waters (the “great whore”refers to all the religions of the world that ever have been, which are devised by men as a substitute for “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified”; God’s Way is Christ and Him Crucified Alone; as well, the “many waters”are a symbol for multitudes of people [Vs. 15]): 2 With whom (the great whore, i.e., all type of religions) the kings of the earth (from the very beginning, most nations have been ruled by some type of religion) have committed fornication (all religions devised by men, and even the parts of Christianity that have been corrupted, are labeled by the Lord as “spiritual fornication”[Rom. 7:1-4]), and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication (proclaims the addiction of religion; the doing of religion is the most powerful narcotic there is). 3 So he (the Angel) carried me (John) away in the spirit (a vision) into the wilderness (every religious effort that attempts to take the place of the Cross is a spiritual wilderness): and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast (the woman is organized religion; by that we mean any religion or form of religion claiming to have a way of Salvation or victory other than the Cross; the “scarlet color”indicates blood and pertains to great persecution), full of names of blasphemy (refers to this “woman”opposing the Plan of God in every capacity), having seven heads and ten horns. (This pertains to the scarlet colored beast, not the woman. The “seven heads”represent seven Empires that persecuted Israel in the past, with the last one yet future. They are “Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.”The “ten horns”represent ten nations that will arise out of the old Roman Empire territory and persecute Israel, and is yet future. These ten nations make up the seventh head. The Roman Empire, which made up the sixth head, was the last of the Empires that persecuted Israel before her destruction as a nation in A.D. 70. When the ten-horned kingdom arises, which it will shortly, it will persecute Israel as well.) 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour (all of this pertains to Israel, but with a carry over into the Church Age; the “purple”represents the dominion of these religions over nations, with the “scarlet color”representing the persecution of Israel), and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls (these religions have always been very rich; a case in point is Islam, which controls some 60% of the oil reserves of the world), having a golden cup in her hand (all of these religions have an allurement, symbolized by the cup being golden) full of abominations and filthiness of her for nication (proclaims what this cup holds, despite its outward attractiveness): 5 And upon her forehead was a name written (the “forehead”symbolizes the fact that all these religions are devised by man, and not by God), MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT (the word “mystery”separates spiritual Babylon from literal Babylon; it is “great in the eyes of the world, but not in the eyes of God”),
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
(This proclaims the actual content of this “golden cup,”even though it looks wonderful on the outside. If it’s not “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified,”then it is labeled by the Lord as “harlots and abominations.”Regrettably that includes much of modern Christianity as well.) 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the Saints (refers to these Empires and their false religions, which persecuted Israel during Old Testament times, actually up to the time of Christ), and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus (points to the millions in the Church Age who gave their lives for the Cause of Christ; the Roman Empire began these persecutions of Christians, and was followed by the Catholic Church): and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration (John is amazed at seeing all of this). 7 And the Angel said unto me, Wherefore did you marvel? (The Angel knew John would marvel at the scene that unfolded before his eyes, and would need an explanation.) I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast who you saw was (represents a fallen Angel who helped the leaders of these Empires of the past in their efforts to destroy Israel), and is not (was not active during the time of John); and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit (this powerful, fallen Angel was confined to the bottomless pit about 2,300 years ago and remains there still, but will be released soon to help the Antichrist), and go into perdition (means that after his escapade of helping the Antichrist on Earth, he will be consigned to the Lake of Fire [20:10]): and they who dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world (presents the fact that all the unsaved people on Earth during the time of the Great Tribulation will be startled and amazed as they observe the Antichrist, who will do things no other man has ever done; this will be because this fallen Angel is helping him, but of which he is not aware), when they behold the beast who was, and is not (was not functioning during John’s day), and yet is (will be released out of the bottomless pit to help the Antichrist). 9 And here is the mind which has wisdom (is the mind that knows and believes the Word of God). The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits (represents these seven Empires which were controlled by false religions, i.e., “demon spirits”). 10 And there are seven kings (actually refers to the “seven heads,”speaking of the leaders of these Empires, whomever they may have been): five are fallen (five of the Empires were fallen during John’s day; they are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece), and one is (refers to the Roman Empire, which was in existence during John’s day, and could, therefore, be spoken of in the present tense), and the other is not yet come (refers to the ten nation confederation symbolized by the ten horns, which in John’s day had not yet come, and, in fact, has not come even yet); and when he comes, he must continue a short space. (The “ten horns”will be the seventh head, and refers to ten nations that will arise shortly and persecute Israel, which will probably take place in the first half of the Great Tribulation, a time span of about three and one half years.) 11 And the beast (fallen Angel) that was, and is not, even he is the eighth (this fallen Angel will help the Antichrist, and will head up the eighth Empire to persecute Israel), and is of the seven (refers to the fact that he helped all the Empires of the past, with the exception of Rome, in their efforts to persecute Israel; but this fallen Angel gave the greatest help to Alexander the Great, who headed up the Grecian Empire; we know this because John, in his Vision, said, “and the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,”with that animal being one of the symbols of ancient Greece [Rev. 13:2; Dan. 7:6]), and goes into perdition (refers to the fact that irrespective of his power and plans, Eternal Hell will be the due of this Satanic Prince; the same goes for Satan, the Antichrist, the False Prophet, every fallen Angel, every demon spirit, and, in fact, all the unredeemed who have ever lived). 12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings (Dan. 7:7), which have received no kingdom as yet (refers to John’s day); but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. (These ten nations will come to power before the Antichrist, making up the seventh head. Then they will be taken over by the Antichrist, who is referred to by Daniel as the “little horn”[Dan. 7:8]. The “one hour”refers to the “short space”this confederation of the ten kings and the Antichrist will hold together. It will last for approximately three and one half years, and will be destroyed by the Second Coming of Christ [Dan. 2:34-35].) 13 These have one mind (this ten nation confederation, making up the seventh head, will all be in agreement respecting their joining with the Antichrist because they don’t have the power to successfully oppose him), and shall give their power and strength unto the beast (refers to the Antichrist now coming to full power, and making up the eighth kingdom as described in Verse 11). 14 These shall make war with the Lamb (has to do with the Antichrist attacking Israel as it regards the Battle of Armageddon; Satan hates Israel for many varied reasons, but above all because of Jesus; so, to attack Israel is to attack the Lamb), and the Lamb shall overcome them (speaks of the Second Coming, but also speaks to the fact that Jesus is worthy to administer Judgment and Justice because of what He did at the Cross): for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings (proclaims the fact that this “Lamb”is “King”of all and “Lord”of all, and all because of the Cross): and they who are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Every Saint of God who has ever lived, both Jews and Gentiles, will come back with Christ at the Second Coming.)
Revelation 17:1-18 CHAPTER 17 (A.D. 96)
(King James Expositor Study Bible).
THE GREAT WHORE
1 And there came one of the seven Angels which had the seven Vials, and talked with me (probably is the seventh Angel; however, we actually have no way of truly knowing), saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto you the judgment of the great whore who sits upon many waters (the “great whore”refers to all the religions of the world that ever have been, which are devised by men as a substitute for “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified”; God’s Way is Christ and Him Crucified Alone; as well, the “many waters”are a symbol for multitudes of people [Vs. 15]): 2 With whom (the great whore, i.e., all type of religions) the kings of the earth (from the very beginning, most nations have been ruled by some type of religion) have committed fornication (all religions devised by men, and even the parts of Christianity that have been corrupted, are labeled by the Lord as “spiritual fornication”[Rom. 7:1-4]), and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication (proclaims the addiction of religion; the doing of religion is the most powerful narcotic there is). 3 So he (the Angel) carried me (John) away in the spirit (a vision) into the wilderness (every religious effort that attempts to take the place of the Cross is a spiritual wilderness): and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast (the woman is organized religion; by that we mean any religion or form of religion claiming to have a way of Salvation or victory other than the Cross; the “scarlet color”indicates blood and pertains to great persecution), full of names of blasphemy (refers to this “woman”opposing the Plan of God in every capacity), having seven heads and ten horns. (This pertains to the scarlet colored beast, not the woman. The “seven heads”represent seven Empires that persecuted Israel in the past, with the last one yet future. They are “Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.”The “ten horns”represent ten nations that will arise out of the old Roman Empire territory and persecute Israel, and is yet future. These ten nations make up the seventh head. The Roman Empire, which made up the sixth head, was the last of the Empires that persecuted Israel before her destruction as a nation in A.D. 70. When the ten-horned kingdom arises, which it will shortly, it will persecute Israel as well.) 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour (all of this pertains to Israel, but with a carry over into the Church Age; the “purple”represents the dominion of these religions over nations, with the “scarlet color”representing the persecution of Israel), and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls (these religions have always been very rich; a case in point is Islam, which controls some 60% of the oil reserves of the world), having a golden cup in her hand (all of these religions have an allurement, symbolized by the cup being golden) full of abominations and filthiness of her for nication (proclaims what this cup holds, despite its outward attractiveness): 5 And upon her forehead was a name written (the “forehead”symbolizes the fact that all these religions are devised by man, and not by God), MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT (the word “mystery”separates spiritual Babylon from literal Babylon; it is “great in the eyes of the world, but not in the eyes of God”),
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
(This proclaims the actual content of this “golden cup,”even though it looks wonderful on the outside. If it’s not “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified,”then it is labeled by the Lord as “harlots and abominations.”Regrettably that includes much of modern Christianity as well.) 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the Saints (refers to these Empires and their false religions, which persecuted Israel during Old Testament times, actually up to the time of Christ), and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus (points to the millions in the Church Age who gave their lives for the Cause of Christ; the Roman Empire began these persecutions of Christians, and was followed by the Catholic Church): and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration (John is amazed at seeing all of this). 7 And the Angel said unto me, Wherefore did you marvel? (The Angel knew John would marvel at the scene that unfolded before his eyes, and would need an explanation.) I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast who you saw was (represents a fallen Angel who helped the leaders of these Empires of the past in their efforts to destroy Israel), and is not (was not active during the time of John); and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit (this powerful, fallen Angel was confined to the bottomless pit about 2,300 years ago and remains there still, but will be released soon to help the Antichrist), and go into perdition (means that after his escapade of helping the Antichrist on Earth, he will be consigned to the Lake of Fire [20:10]): and they who dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world (presents the fact that all the unsaved people on Earth during the time of the Great Tribulation will be startled and amazed as they observe the Antichrist, who will do things no other man has ever done; this will be because this fallen Angel is helping him, but of which he is not aware), when they behold the beast who was, and is not (was not functioning during John’s day), and yet is (will be released out of the bottomless pit to help the Antichrist). 9 And here is the mind which has wisdom (is the mind that knows and believes the Word of God). The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits (represents these seven Empires which were controlled by false religions, i.e., “demon spirits”). 10 And there are seven kings (actually refers to the “seven heads,”speaking of the leaders of these Empires, whomever they may have been): five are fallen (five of the Empires were fallen during John’s day; they are Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece), and one is (refers to the Roman Empire, which was in existence during John’s day, and could, therefore, be spoken of in the present tense), and the other is not yet come (refers to the ten nation confederation symbolized by the ten horns, which in John’s day had not yet come, and, in fact, has not come even yet); and when he comes, he must continue a short space. (The “ten horns”will be the seventh head, and refers to ten nations that will arise shortly and persecute Israel, which will probably take place in the first half of the Great Tribulation, a time span of about three and one half years.) 11 And the beast (fallen Angel) that was, and is not, even he is the eighth (this fallen Angel will help the Antichrist, and will head up the eighth Empire to persecute Israel), and is of the seven (refers to the fact that he helped all the Empires of the past, with the exception of Rome, in their efforts to persecute Israel; but this fallen Angel gave the greatest help to Alexander the Great, who headed up the Grecian Empire; we know this because John, in his Vision, said, “and the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,”with that animal being one of the symbols of ancient Greece [Rev. 13:2; Dan. 7:6]), and goes into perdition (refers to the fact that irrespective of his power and plans, Eternal Hell will be the due of this Satanic Prince; the same goes for Satan, the Antichrist, the False Prophet, every fallen Angel, every demon spirit, and, in fact, all the unredeemed who have ever lived). 12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings (Dan. 7:7), which have received no kingdom as yet (refers to John’s day); but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. (These ten nations will come to power before the Antichrist, making up the seventh head. Then they will be taken over by the Antichrist, who is referred to by Daniel as the “little horn”[Dan. 7:8]. The “one hour”refers to the “short space”this confederation of the ten kings and the Antichrist will hold together. It will last for approximately three and one half years, and will be destroyed by the Second Coming of Christ [Dan. 2:34-35].) 13 These have one mind (this ten nation confederation, making up the seventh head, will all be in agreement respecting their joining with the Antichrist because they don’t have the power to successfully oppose him), and shall give their power and strength unto the beast (refers to the Antichrist now coming to full power, and making up the eighth kingdom as described in Verse 11). 14 These shall make war with the Lamb (has to do with the Antichrist attacking Israel as it regards the Battle of Armageddon; Satan hates Israel for many varied reasons, but above all because of Jesus; so, to attack Israel is to attack the Lamb), and the Lamb shall overcome them (speaks of the Second Coming, but also speaks to the fact that Jesus is worthy to administer Judgment and Justice because of what He did at the Cross): for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings (proclaims the fact that this “Lamb”is “King”of all and “Lord”of all, and all because of the Cross): and they who are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Every Saint of God who has ever lived, both Jews and Gentiles, will come back with Christ at the Second Coming.)
WHOREDOM THROUH THE WORD OF GOD Part 3.
WHOREDOM THROUH THE WORD OF GOD Part 3.
(King James Expositor Study Bible).
15 And he (the Angel) said unto me (John), The waters which you saw (refers back to Verse 1, and presents the word “waters”being used as a symbolism), where the whore sits (if it’s not Jesus Christ and Him Crucified [I Cor. 1:23; 2:2], then God refers to it as the “Great Whore”), are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. (This covers the entirety of the world, and tells us that billions have died and gone to hell as a result of following false religions.) 16 And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast (pertains to the ten nation confederation, which will make up the seventh head), these shall hate the whore (at least some, if not all, of the ten nation confederation will come out of the Middle East; Islam rules this part of the world, and it is a rule which has all but destroyed these countries; the implication is the religion of Islam will be put down by this confederacy), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. (This proclaims the fact that the ten nations under the Antichrist will institute and carry out a campaign of elimination as it regards the religion of Islam, and, in fact, any other religions in his domain. All of these religions will be replaced by “beast worship.”) 17 For God has put in their hearts to fulfil His Will (while the ten nations have their own agenda, God will use it to bring about His Will), and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast (the ten leaders of these nations will give their authority to the beast, i.e., “the Antichrist”), until the Words of God shall be fulfilled. (This will last “until”the Great Tribulation has ended, which will be at the Battle of Armageddon in which these nations will be totally destroyed [Dan. 2:34-35].) 18 And the woman which you saw is that great city (refers to rebuilt Babylon portrayed in Rev., Chpt. 18), which reigns over the kings of the earth. (Rebuilt Babylon will not only be one of the commercial centers of the world, but as well the religious center. The Antichrist will have replaced Islam and other religions with himself as the one being worshiped. It all began at Babylon, and it will all end there [Gen. 11:1-9; Rev. 18:10].)
If you are a whore of any kind, rather it be male, female prostitutes, whore with smoking, drinking any type of alcohol, getting tattoos, extreme piercings? Heaven for bid, Repent, come out from among them and be ye seprated, says the Lord. Turn away from the wicked and from your wicked living. Your soul and Eternal Life in Heaven, depends on it. No sin at all, can enter into the Kingdom of God, and if it does? It will instantly burn into flames and be burned away.
How much more Warning from God, do you really need.
Just read the whole intire Book of Revelation.
Satan, sin and all sinners will lose at the End.
