James, 1:25- But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed
James, 2:14- What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
James, 2:18- 18] Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
James, 2:22-Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
James, 2:24 -Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James, 2:26-For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
EVENTUALLY
If works are not present after knowing the truth in the word of God and accepting it, it is because your faith is false.
(Faith = believe)in the word of God and put it into(practice = works)so the works come automatically otherwise it is faith does not come from God and this faith cannot save you!!
THE FAITH
GRACE
REPENTANCE
PRACTICE GOOD WORKS
BAD WORK = SIN
GOOD WORK = SAVE AND SANCTIFY
It is good works that demonstrate that a person is saved
You cannot(BELIEVE = FAITH)in the word without
(PRACTICE = WORK)and you cannot(PRACTICE = WORK)without having heard, received and believed in the word.
ATTENTION: Beware of false teachers, pastors, prophets.
HERE IS THE CONTROVERSIAL VERSE
Ephesians, 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
(it is by grace that you are saved);
FOR WHAT
Because it is used without taking into consideration the entire Bible.
LET'S START, FOLLOW ME WITH YOUR BIBLE!
Titus, 1:16 They professthat they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Ephesians, 2:10- For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Philippians, 1:6 - Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Hebrews, 13:21 - 21] Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Titus, 2:7- In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing
Colossians, 1:10- That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
WARNING
Romans, 13:12 -The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the worksof darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Ephesians, 5:11 - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works ofdarkness, but rather reprove them.
GOD JUDGES WHAT????
1 Peter, 1:17- 17] And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
Romans, 2:6 - Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
YOU CANNOT HAVE FAITH WITHOUT PRODUCING GOOD WORKS.
Revelation of JESUS Christ,which GOD gave unto Him,to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass;
Three angels proclaim the righteous Judgment of GOD
Revelation 14:6-13 (Compare with Gen.18 -Three angels visited Abraham before destruction of Sodoma)
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth,and to every nation,and kindred,and tongue,and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice,Fear GOD and give glory to Him;for the hour of His Judgment is come:and worship Him that made heaven, and earth,and the sea,and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel,saying,Babylon is fallen,is fallen, that great city,because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them,saying with a loud voice,If any man worship the Beast and His image,and receive his mark in his forehead,or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the WRATH of GOD,which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation;and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels,and in the presence of the Lamb:
Genesis 18:1-33&19:12-17&27-29
- First,the Lord appeared unto Abraham in the plains of Mamre:and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;And he lift up his eyes and looked,and,lo, three MEN stood by him:and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door,and bowed himself toward the ground,
- Soon after,Abraham offered the three MEN a delicious lunch,in fact a banquet,and stood by them under the tree,and they did eat.
- And they asked unto Abraham:Where is Sarah thy wife?I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life;and,lo,Sarah thy wife shall have a son
- The Lord also said:Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do? they rose up from thence and looked toward Sodom:Abraham asked: Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Titus 1:16] They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Christanity rebells when they have to be perfect thry immediately pass it on to Jesus when Jesus preached in Matthew 5:48 we (human beings) have to be perfect even as our Father which is in heaven is perfect. Why does Christanity argue agianst Jesus? Because they were never told the truth. Let's look in the bible to find more perfect people before, during and after, Jesus. Adam and Eve were in Genesis 1&2 before thry heard another gospel in Genesis 3 from Rev Serpant/Rev Devil.
Before: Genesis 6:9] These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
Genesis 17:1] And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Deuteronomy 18:13] Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
Job 1:1] There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
2nd Chronicals 16:9] For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
Psalm 37:37] Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
During Jesus:
Matthew 1:[19] Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
See part 2
2 Timothy 2:15
James 2:
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Romans 4:
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Ephesians 2:
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Titus 3:
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
May we be intercessors in CHRIST name, Isaiah 59:16, for those who have been blinded by the god of this world, 2 Corinthians 4:3, 4.
We are called to stand in the gap for others, Ezekiel 22:30, and plant the seed of the word that others may water and that GOD will give the increase.
Acts 15:
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
Salvation is by faith in CHRIST alone.
GOD bless everyone!
Without the live of the truth mankind do know know what the love of God in Christ is about 100% conditional love. Everybody claims to know God and love him, however, does God know you in Christ? The preacher preaches God loves you when it is nothing but idle words to occupy their pews every Sunday just vain deceit, vain words to get at your pocketbook and not for the saving of the soul. Without Jesus Christ the Son of God and his words in you there is no love in a man or woman as Jesus' words are spirit and life John 6:63. The preacher who preaches God is love does not themselves have a stitch of that love. The live they posess is the live of money the root of all evil, the live for your pocketbook and nothing for the saving of your soul. Sunday school is not that love of the truth. It is every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God spoken by the Son of God Jesus Christ the law of spirit and life the words of spirit and life which sents us free from the law of sin and death.
Being a sinner is not God's love. God's live is that he washed us from all sin through the blood words of Jesus John 15:3 and Rev 1:5. In order to have something you must first posess it. In order to have love you must first posess it. No truth = no love.
2nd Thess 2:10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
[11] And for this cause God shall send them strong deluson, that they should believe a lie:
[12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Part 1
Here is something I wanted to address earlier but I had to wait until the weekend due to my busy work schedule.
Jordyn said;
"The wages of UNBELIEF is DEATH.
The Gift of BELIEF is IMMORTAL LIFE and Christ ONLY has IMMORTAL LIFE."
and then in a few more lines you said the unbelief and those who believe will receive eternal life.
SO, THEY BOTH RECEIVES THE GIFT IN HIS THEOLOGY.
Well, there is no reward for the righteous.
HE'S CALLING GOD A CORRUPT JUDGE.
Here is more blasphemy in this theology.
Here is a direct quote of what he stated. (Pay close attention to 1a!
Those who believe they DIED and were made ONE in Christ, will never die again.
1a) "Those who don't believe they DIED, and the resurrection made them ONE as the Father and Son and son are ONE will be cast into prison, the GRAVE. Revelation 20:2-3. End quote.
(Shouldn't it be those who didn't receive Christ and had their names written in the Lambs book of life will be cast into prison?)
Jordyn is saying who ever don't believe in his theology is the unsaved! I WILL COME BACK TO THAT.
1b) After God has gather all his SONS to be priest in the Kingdom, he will resurrect the unbelievers back to their flesh and blood bodies, they will be loosed out of their prison ( Revelation 20:7).
After all the dead are raised at the second resurrection the Sons of God will preach the gospel to them about the truth of the resurrection, judge them by the words of God, and give them the truth and mercy given to us, and they will DIED the second death, and also become the SONS of God. End quote.
SO ACCORDING TO HIM ALL HUMANITY WILL EVENTUALLY BE SAVED.
Recap;
From what he has mentioned in the past, according to him the devil is our flesh.
The bottomless pit mentioned in Revelation 20:2-3 is the grave.
The unbelievers/Devil will be loosed out of the grave, "resurrected" in Revelation 20:7.
I will deal with this in part 2.
See Part 2.
1) The Lord after His crucifixion appeared unto Philip (ONE he taught) and instructed him to visit the eunuch on the wagon. It is clear that God from time to time make use of people HE TAUGHT to go and do work for HIM. Now then if you are not a taught of Christ how will he appear unto you?
2) The eunuch did read the Scripture but did not understand (hidden from). This again shows me if you are not taught by Christ himself or by one he directly taught and or they taught you will not understand the scripture. And therefor not one of HIS. As it is written in the scripture where Jesus told them who did not understand - you dont understand cause you not of my flock.
My last two posts discussed how we should be in fellowship especially in light of today's trends of reduced church attendance and that is part of the bigger issue of rapidly increasing percentages of the population becoming atheists. Having been involved in a home church in the past as well as being a regular attendee of a formally recognized church (now a member) I have seen factors that can be calculated in decisions as to what works best for someone considering these two options. For me it wasn't an "either or" proposition; I always had a regular Sunday church experience along with attending prayer meetings; and evangelical outreach with those in the home church along with Bible studies. There were times that conflicting events would necessitate a decision which place to attend on a given night but that was never a huge issue.
There were issues of inordinate disputes and hypercalvanism that caused some division and strife in the home church. The communion and choice of elders wasn't exactly according to church protocol in my opinion; and that along with a split caused me to move away from there. In general; I saw a distinct advantage in zeal for evangelism and prayer and the results in divine appointments from such efforts. Once this group split off; several individuals eventually attended a local church and some became members; one becoming an elder recently. This has in my opinion blessed the church with those who are committed to regular evangelism; but also brought out the contrast with others who are more lackadaisical in my opinion.
I have found recently that a strange paradox seems to be occurring. There is support for starting a new prayer group on my end. I haven't seen the desire for many in that regard based on the conversations beyond those who already are involved during the week for online prayer. Some churches are so regimented that the leadership wants to dictate.
1In those days came John the Baptist,preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2And saying,Repent ye:for the Kingdom of heaven(3rd heaven)is at hand.(Kingdom of Heaven will be established here from now on-Re.5:10 combined with Ephesians 1:3-14 and Re.1:6&20:6.Take a look)
7When John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism,he said unto them,O generation of vipers,who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Mat.23:13-35
13Woe unto you,scribes and Pharisees,hypocrites!for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men:for ye neither go in yourselves,neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
15Woe unto you,scribes and Pharisees,hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte,and when he is made,ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
23Woe unto you,scribes and Pharisees,hypocrites! ...
24Ye blind guides,which strain at a gnat,and swallow a camel.
31... ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers
33Ye serpents(serpents are sons of serpent),ye generation of VIPERS,how can ye ESCAPE the DAMNATION of HELL?
34Behold,I send unto you prophets,and wise men,and scribes:and some of them ye shall kill and crucify;and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues,and persecute them from city to city:
35That UPON YOU may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth,FROM THE BLOOD of righteous Abel UNTO THE BLOOD of Zacharias,whom YE SLEW between the temple and the altar.
Lk.21:22-23:->22 these be days of VENGEANCE,that ALL THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN may be fulfilled.23...for there shall be great distress in the land,and WRATH upon this people.(The Word is GOD,self-executable,understand?)
2Th.1:7-9
7...the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven...8In flaming fire taking VENGEANCE on them that know not GOD,and obey not the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ:9Which shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord...
Revelation 12:2-6 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Matthew 24 13-16 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (Before the end, and start of Tribulation) (Jesus goes from signs of the end to speaking of when Daniel mentions the 'antichrist' stands in the holy place. (let them that are 'in Judaea') 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
End From a primary tello (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly, the point aimed at as a limit, i.e. (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination (literally, figuratively or indefinitely), result (immediate, ultimate or prophetic), purpose); specially, an impost or levy (as paid)
Greetings in Christ JESUS
Get ready Get ready Get ready
At midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him-Mat.25:verse 6.
The bridegroom tarried, all slumbered and slept-verse 5.
The bridegroom comes; and only they that are ready go in with Him to the marriage: and the door will be shut acccording verse 10.
Reemember that the disciples privately asked two important things to JESUS,saying:
1-What shall be the SIGN of thy coming?
2-and of the END of the world? (the current Devil's world)
Our Lord JESUS listed several signs that would happen previously before His coming as is written in Matthew 24:3-7,and He warned in the verse 8 saying that the signs listed were only the beginning of sorrows. Are you see that the SIGNS LISTED
of the coming of our Lord are LITERALLY be fulfilled? If not, wake up, yeah wake up and get up quickly.
Get ready. Get ready. Get ready.The Day of Vengeance arrived,the Day of the Lord.
Revelation 11:15to18
15-The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
18-And the NATIONS were (will be) angry, and GOD's WRATH is come, ... and should destroy them which destroy the earth.
Revelation 6:15-17
15 The kings of the earth,and the great men,and the rich men,and the chief captains,and the mighty men,and every bondman, and every free man,hid(will hide)themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks,Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17For the GREAT Day of His wrath is come;and who shall be able to stand?
The ANGEL of the Lord,John the Baptist,warned the Jews,saying:O generation of vipers,who has warned you to flee from the WRATH to come? Luke 3:7. He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: he that believes not the Son shall not see life;but the WRATH of GOD abides on him- John 3:31
In Ezekiel chapter 38 the battle of the Magog, the question I have is in Ezekiel 39, 9.
When is clearly understood that the battle is most likely going to happen at the end of the first half of the tribulation, 3 1/2 years of peace.
Explain verse 9 of chapter 39, and when Christ returns after the battle of Armageddon, with all his saints, he cleanses the Earth.
So, if the fire that he is talking about is for 7 years after the Magog battle, there's only 3 1/2 years left in the tribulation.
Any feedback is welcome.
Brothers in Christ
We know that GOD CURSED the Earth because disobedience of man,and warned him,saying:"Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;...in sorrow shall you eat of it all the days of thy life;In the sweat of thy face shall you eat bread,till you return unto the ground;out of it wast you taken:for dust you art,and unto dust shall you return.
As above described,the terrible picture after GOD cursed the Earth, what our GOD meant by His words or even revealed when He said of the existence of the world of Devil full of"Thorns and thistles"? Well,with the proliferation of human beings after Earth had been CURSED by Him,nations would emerge or be formed on Earth,and would be like"thorns and thistles".GOD said: Numbers 33:52-55
55If ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you;then it shall come to pass,that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes,and thorns in your sides,and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
52Ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures,and all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
53And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land,and dwell therein:for I have given you the land to possess it.
Joshua 23:11-16
11Take good heed therefore unto yourselves,that ye love the Lord your GOD.
13Know that the Lord GOD will no more drive out any of these nations from before you;but they shall be snares and traps unto you,and scourges in your sides,and THORNS in your eyes,until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord your GOD hath given you.
Rev.11:15&12:12
15The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the Kingdoms of our Lord,and of His Christ;He shall reign for ever and ever.
12Therefore rejoice,ye heavens,and ye that dwell in them.Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!for the Devil is come down unto you,having great wrath,because he knows that he has but a short time.
