How To Be A Success! How To Successfully Serve Jesus. Sharing The Gospel In Your Christian Life Is Essential. Biblically Explaining Philippians 3:13-14.

Philippians 3:13-14. How to Be Successful In The Christian Life. The Quick Simplest Biblically True Explanation is: Jesus is our Example to Follow.

There is No Success in a Christian Life outside of Jesus. Yes, Life is Hard. The Christian Life Often Feels Impossible. As a Christian Please Do Not Quit, Give Up The Christian Life. Forget The Past: The Good, The Bad, Keep Moving Forward. Jesus will Reward Hard Working Christians who haven’t Quit Standing up for their Christian Faith. They are Moving Forward in their Christian Life until the End of their Life.

The Christian Life is Not Working Your Way to Heaven. Following the Golden Rule, Living a Moral Life to Get to Heaven. Salvation is Settled for a Christian. A Christian is Saved and is Not in an Endless Process of Attempting to Please God in a Vain Attempt to Get to Heaven. Salvation is 100% Jesus 0% You, Human Effort. A Christian is Saved by Believing in Jesus, in his Finished Work on the Cross, to Believe the Gospel Only.

Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

There are Thousands of Sermons, Books, and Christian Writings on Philippians 3:13-14. Because these Verses are very Encouraging with a Promise of a Prize.

It is Essential to Understand that most of what you will find in Sermons and Published Writings about Philippians Chapter 3 is False. Counterfeit Christianity. They Twist the Scriptures to Teach Works.

The Bible Doesn’t Teach Works as a Way to Get to Heaven.

Philippians Chapter 3 DOES NOT TEACH WORKS SALVATION. Philippians 3:13-14 and the CONTEXT of the Passage IS NOT TEACHING YOU CAN WORK YOUR WAY TO HEAVEN.

“…the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Salvation is 100% Jesus 0% Works, Human Effort.

The Entire CONTEXT of Philippians Chapter 3 is Salvation through Jesus Christ ONLY:

The Point is, Christians Should NEVER GIVE UP Serving Jesus in the Christian Ministry.

Because if You Give up and Quit Serving Jesus You will Not Receive the Rewards, Prizes, for Specific Biblical Rewards that You would have Earned because of the Work You Did as a Christian.

This Prize, Reward is Not Eternal Salvation / Eternal Life which they Already Have:

1^st John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

Salvation CANNOT BE Won, Earned. Salvation is Not a Reward, a Prize for Works You have Done.

Salvation is Freely GIVEN to Everyone who has Believed on Jesus Christ Only. To Everyone who has Believed the Gospel ONLY for their Salvation:

The Entire Passage.

1^st John 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Also:

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Jesus is Clear that Salvation is Not What You can Do to Work Your Way to Heaven. Salvation is Not a Reward for Your Good Works.

This is Very Clear in the Bible. The Bible From Genesis to Revelation Only Teaches Salvation Through Jesus:

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Salvation is a Freewill Choice to Either Believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Go to Heaven or to Reject Jesus, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and Go to Hell.

To Understand Philippians Chapter 3 it is Essential to Understand what the Christian Life is and is Not.

The Christian Life is NOT A Process of Working Your Way to Heaven.

The Christian Life is How Christians Should Live Because: THEY ARE SAVED.

What is the Christian Life?

After a Person is Saved, the Christian Life Begins.

The Christian Life is Serving Jesus in the Christian Ministry. That Does Not mean: Go to Bible College, Become a Pastor / Traveling Evangelist, Having an official title in your Church, etc…

The Christian Life is Following Jesus Example in the Bible. Jesus Main Focus was to Preach the Gospel. To Live according to what the Bible Teaches.

Christians should Share the Gospel, Never Be Ashamed of the Gospel. Another term for Sharing the Gospel is Evangelism. Being an Evangelist is Simply sharing the Gospel with Other People. This is something All Christians should Naturally do. (To be an Evangelist you do not have to be Ordained. Given the Title by a Church a College, by anyone Official in the Church.)

All Christians Are supposed to be Evangelist’s

At the Very Minimum Every Christian Must Be an Evangelist. To be an Evangelist You Need to Share the Gospel. The Biblical Foundation of this is Everywhere in the Bible. For example:

Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) 3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Key Points:

1) A Servant of Jesus Christ 2) An Apostle 3) Separated unto the gospel of God 4) We have received grace and apostleship

All Christians are to Serve Jesus, be his Servants. An Apostle: The Definition of an Apostle / Apostleship is to be a Messenger of God.

(All of the Witnesses of the Resurrected Jesus Christ were Officially An Apostle of Jesus Christ. This was an Official Title within the Christian Church. These Apostle’s had an Official Ministry to Preach the Gospel to All of the World.)

People get easily confused about an Official Title in the Church, which is an Official Ministry. And Simply being an Evangelist or what the Bible Also Calls being an Apostle, and having an Apostleship.

I will do my best to clarify that in the Bible there were Both Titled Apostles and regular Non Titled Apostles at the same time. They were all Given a Specific Ministry to perform. The Titled Apostles were All Witnesses of Jesus Resurrection. Their Specific Ministry is Over Today Because they are All Long Dead. Right now there are Apostles / Apostleship’s with no official title in the Church.

People who are Active in Spreading the Gospel, in Soul winning are doing the Work of an Apostle of an Evangelist. They have an Apostleship, a Mission from Jesus to do the Work that they are doing. They Do Not Need a Bible Degree from a Bible College to do the Work, the Ministry that they are Doing. Most of Jesus’s Apostles were Not Educated Formally in a Public Institution of Biblical, Studies. They were Not All College Graduates or what would have Equaled that at the time.

Biblical Examples:

Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) 37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

This passage in Acts Chapter 10 is where the Definition of an Apostle comes from. These Apostles were Actual Witnesses of the Resurrected Jesus.

These Apostles were Eyewitnesses of Jesus Earthly Ministry from the beginning to the end when Jesus ascended into Heaven. Their message was Powerfully received and Believed. There is No more Believable Testimony then Eyewitnesses. This is How / Why The Gospel of Jesus Christ was Quickly spread around the World from these Eyewitnesses. There were Hundreds of these Apostles. Eyewitnesses that Preached the Gospel throughout the Earth.

Now Back to the passage in Romans Chapter 1

Romans 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 1:5-7 Clearly Paul is saying that an Apostleship, being an Apostle is another thing as well. There were the Eyewitnesses Apostle’s who with Authority were Spreading the Gospel throughout the World. There are / were Also Apostles who do / did not Claim to be Eyewitnesses of the Gospel who are / were sharing the Gospel with people and were told to do so by Paul and Jesus.

This is Clear: 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 7 To all that be in Rome…

The Message Could Not be More Clear: “YE ALSO THE CALLED OF JESUS CHRIST”

ALSO, ALSO, ALSO, ALSO!!!!

Paul is saying that the Ministry of Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ is ALSO for ALL CHRISTIANS.

Understand this:

In Verse 7: 7 To all that be in Rome… This Letter (The Book of Romans) Romans, that Paul wrote was written to ALL the Christians that were in Rome.

The Message is Clear as a Christian the Ministry of Sharing the Gospel was Not Only a Ministry of Paul’s and the other Apostles that were also Eyewitnesses of the Resurrected Jesus. Evangelism, being an Apostle is ALSO the Responsibility of ALL Christians.

Giving up on Your Life Can Happen because of Early Success or Failure:

Failures:

Relationships that Fail. Breaking up with the person you are or were in Love with can Destroy your Life, but it should Not. People Stop living their Lives over someone they were Never even Married to. Others feel their Life is Over Because of being Divorced. They Live Bitter Lives, because of the one that got away. Or Bitter Lives because of Getting Divorced.

I Find it Sad, Disturbing, Disgusting when men (Women do the same thing, I have heard them. There are too many Movies about it.) from 18 to 50 years old and older who are living back in High School in their minds. I have listened to too many of them (I refuse to still Listen to men 30 and older who have this conversation. I steer away from it. If they will Not talk about anything else I will say: “I have to go. You need to get over it and live the life you have now. You are Never going to be happy still thinking about a 13, 14, 15 year old girl etc…, who rejected you in High School. Get over it and Forget it.) going on and on about how Good it was in High School. How they wish they could have a Do Over. “If I could live it over again, have a do over, I would know how to have gotten such and such a Girl… I saw her the other day and she still looks Good. I could have made it with her if I did things differently…”

My reply: “No, You Don’t know what she was thinking about you. You will Never know why she rejected you then. You then and Now are thinking Only about her Looks. It is Disgusting for you 30 years old (even 50+ years old) to be longing for a 15 year old Girl because of Physical Attraction. This is exactly what you are wanting, by wishing you could go back to High School again…”

Not Achieving important Goals. People set Goals and if they cannot get to them they Quit instead of setting a New Realistic Goal. Quitting would be going back home and living with your parents… Find a New Career. If College does not work for you enroll in a Trade School for example.

Success:

People who have an Early Success often Never do anything of Value afterward. The Success could have been High School and or College Glory: Academics, Social, Sports etc… You might Laugh at this one but it is Absolutely True. There are Millions of Men and Women in their 50’s, 60’s and Older that Never Achieved Anything they want to talk about other than what they did in High School / College. They Never Stop Talking about the “Good Old Days…”

Living in the Past is Bad.

I am nearly 60 now and I just will not go down that road with people any longer. I do not want to have those conversations any more. I am tired of hearing them from people of any age. People in College miss their Days in High School.

Seriously, this is a Dangerous rut to Live your Life in. I was in Navy Boot camp when I was 17 and I was glad to be off living my life. High School and the Past was Not what I was thinking about. There were Dozens of guys in my Boot Camp wishing they were still back in High School. I told them they would Never make it in the Military if they were Not focused on getting through Basic Training, then A, School, etc… In Boot Camp I was the Education Petty Officer. One of my Jobs was to help people make it through Boot Camp. So Yes, I had dozens of men I helped to focus. So they could make it through Boot Camp. I had to Get them to Forget Everything in the Past and to Concentrate on making it out of Boot Camp Successfully.

In the Military Boot Camp is just the first step. Many People have 2 years of training they have to get through before they even get to their first command. Then at their first command they have to get through OJT: On The Job Training. Before they can even be Qualified for the Military Job they signed up for, went through schools for. People can and do Wash out of the Military at any phase. The most Advanced Jobs take Many Years of Training before you are Qualified to hold the Title that you went to Advanced Schools for.

This is also True for Numerous Civilian Careers. In the Military you can washout to the point you get discharged. Typically though if you wash out During a Military School you are then sent to a Ship or a Squadron and you will be unrated… It is the lowest rung on the ladder. Many people who have found themselves in this position have valued it later. Because they worked their way up from the bottom to a New Career Field. A job that they were better suited for. They rose through the ranks and became Very Successful in the Military and in Life.

The First Point is We all Fail. Failures are Never a Reason to Quit.

The Second Point is when you Fail Get up and Keep Moving Forward.

Find a different New relationship. Maybe you Need a New a Different Career. Do Not Go Backward. Whatever you have Failed at should Not be used as an Excuse to Not Keep Moving Forward in your Life.

The Third Point is Forgetting the Failures, and the Successes in your Life.

Both Failures and Successes if you dwell on them can Keep you from Moving Forward. Life is about Living and Moving forward. You can always be moving forward.

Everything I have Said is Biblical:

Philippians 3:13-14 are the text verses for this message. But it is always essential to have the complete context of the passage to be sure the passage is being correctly explained.

The Entire passage:

Philippians 3:6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Paul in verse 6 is explaining that he had a Zeal for God. He was active in doing what he knew was God’s Will.

Paul was a Very Devout Priest in Judaism he was a Highly educated Pharisee. He Persecuted, had Christians Murdered because his understanding of Judaism told him to do so. He was also under orders from his Temple to do so.

In verses 7-8 Paul is regretful of what he did in the Past: Persecuting, having Christians Murdered, his Life as a Pharisee. Everything he had done before he became a Christian he said is Dung, is Loss.

Our Lives Before Salvation add up to Nothing. Without Jesus, we are Nothing. Paul is Speaking from the Heart.

In Verses 9-15 When Paul says Win Christ.

The Context is Clearly to Grow in the Knowledge of Jesus Christ. To Become more and more Like Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul spent decades Not Knowing Jesus. Decades Lost without Salvation, without Understanding the Scriptures.

Philippians Chapter 3 and Romans Chapter 7 are Extremely Emotional Chapters where Paul is using examples about himself, his life, to Teach Biblical Truths.

You will find many other Verses in the Bible where Paul is Deeply Personal and Speaking Powerfully from the Heart in Hopes that People will Understand the Biblical Truth he is Teaching.

Back to Verses 9-15

Paul is talking to a Group of Christians here in Philippians Chapter 3. He is so Emotional because, he doesn’t want these people to waste their Lives. He is Essentially Pleading with them to Not Waste their Lives.

The Word Apprehend / Apprehended is used several times in this passage. So Let’s look at the definition of this Word:

Apprehend

APPREHEND’, v.t. L. apprehendo, of ad and prehendo, to take or seize.

1. To take or seize; to take hold of. In this literal sense, it is applied chiefly to taking or arresting persons by legal process, or with a view to trial; as to apprehend a thief.

2. To take with the understanding, that is, to conceive in the mine; to understand, without passing a judgment, or making an inference.

I apprehend not why so many and various laws are given.

3. To think; to believe or be of opinion, but without positive certainty; as, all this is true, but we apprehend it is not to the purpose.

Notwithstanding this declaration, we do not apprehend that we are guilty of presumption.

4. To fear; to entertain suspicion or fear of future evil; as, we apprehend calamities from a feeble or wicked administration.

apprehended

APPREHEND’ED, pp. Taken; seized; arrested; conceived; understood; feared.

APPREHEND – Definition from the KJV Dictionary

Paul is saying Plainly that He is Not Finished with the Ministry Given to Him by Jesus.

There is More to be Done. He can Still Grow Stronger in his Faith in Jesus. He can Become More Like Jesus.

Paul also uses the word Perfect which Biblically means Complete.

Paul Doesn’t think he, or anyone else, can be Perfect in the sense of being Sinless, Flawless, Being an Exact Copy of Jesus, etc…

Paul’s Goal, the Goal We Should All Have, is to Follow Jesus’ example to us written in the Bible.

1^st Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

1^st Corinthians 4:9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. 10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. 11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; 12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. 14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. 15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. 17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church. 18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. 19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. 20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

I must point out that there are Corrupt So-Called Christian Churches / Christians that are Following Paul. They Completely Reject Jesus. They Discard Everything that Jesus says in the Bible: “Jesus Ministry was Not for the Salvation of the World. Jesus came to Save Israel, the Jews Only. Paul Brought in the Plan of Salvation for the Gentiles.”

Dispensationalist are so messed up with their False Unbiblical Man Made Doctrines. They Teach Multiple plans of Salvation. The Bible Teaches there is ONLY One Plan of Salvation for Everyone!!!! Dispensationalist they WORSHIP THE APOSTLE PAUL. DISPENSATIONALIST REJECT JESUS!!!! They Reject the Gospel only for Salvation.

Beware and Reject Counterfeit Christians, Counterfeit Christianity.

These False Churches / Christians, including Almost All IFB Baptist Churches, Teach this ( They Falsely Teach that Jesus ONLY came for the Jews, that his Entire Ministry was to Israel to the Jewish People. So Today what Jesus Taught is part of the Old Testament. They Directly say to Ignore Matthew, Mark, Luke and John that Jesus Ministry was Nothing Different than any other Old Testament Prophet. They Falsely use Dispensationalism to throw out Everything Jesus said. “You cannot Base Christianity on what Jesus Preached, what he Taught. Jesus was Not Speaking to anyone other than the Jews.” “Paul came to Bring the Doctrine of Christianity. His Writings are Entirely what Christianity is Based on. You cannot Base Salvation on what Jesus Taught…”)

To one degree or another IFB Baptist Churches, 90% or more of All Baptist Churches teach this. They Speak out of Both Sides of their Mouths.

When Paul said to Follow him he Never Said: Reject what Jesus Taught. I have my own Doctrine that is Different than what Jesus Taught.

Paul Doesn’t teach a Different message than what Jesus Taught.

Repeatedly in the Bible when Paul says to Follow me. He makes sure to say as I Follow Jesus. Paul is Extremely Clear that Everything he has to say is what Jesus Taught to him. If you compare what Jesus said / taught and what Paul and all the other Authors of the Bible (The Bible was written by the Holy Spirit of God through Men.) taught you will Not find a Single Actual Contradiction.

2^nd Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

All False Churches/ False Christians Reject Jesus. They Worship a Different Jesus that they invented:

Jesus speaking:

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

For any Honest person, The Above Passage in John Chapter 10 will Forever Close the Conversation on Who to Follow.

There is a Reason the Christian Faith is Called Christianity.

Jesus is the Author of Christianity. Jesus is the One who Died for All of the Sins of the World, Not The Apostle Paul or anyone Else.

Salvation is Through Jesus Alone.

All False Counterfeit Churches / Christians Deny what Jesus Clearly Taught:

They either Add Works (Water Baptism, Repent of Sin, Forsake Sin, Give Your Life to Jesus Christ, Turn From Sin, Penance, You must Join this Church, Turn From Sin, etc…) to Jesus Finished Work of Salvation, The Gospel, or they like the Mormon’s Completely set up their Religion Based on a Person: Joseph Smith.

Please Do Not Put Your Life, your Eternal Soul, in the Hands of anyone but Jesus. The Apostle Paul Never said to Follow Him Instead of Jesus.

Beware of All Churches that Follow the Writings of someone other than Jesus. Like: John Calvin “Calvinists”, Peter Ruckman “Ruckmanites”, The Catholic Church, Lutheran Churches, Methodist Churches, Baptists Churches, etc… Also Churches that are Part of a Convention steer clear of.

Southern Baptist’s they are Tied to the Southern Baptists Convention, An Unbiblical Governing Body that is above the Authority of the Bible.

All Baptist Churches have an Origin Based on a Man other than Jesus. The Religion of the South was Baptists. The Baptists of the South were Behind the Civil War. Without Baptists Churches there would Not have Been a Civil War. The KKK Origin and membership was Baptist. The KKK was a Baptist Religious Organization.

Baptists Churches Absolutely Deny this. Well the KKK wore hoods they covered their Faces, covered up their identities so it should Not Surprise Anyone that Baptists Churches will Deny their KKK History.

To this Day I have Never Been to a Baptist Church in the South that Wasn’t Extremely Racist. I attended Baptist Churches for more than a Decade starting in the early 1980’s. The more I looked into the History of the Baptist Church the More I realized I had to Leave the Baptist Church Completely. Yes Because of Racism. The Final Straw, my Ultimate Reason was Because 99% of Baptists Churches teach Works. They are a False Religion, Counterfeit Christianity.

What Church to Go to? How to Find a Church?

I am 59 years old and I am Not Certain that I ever Attended a Church with a Saved Pastor. So I cannot say that I was Ever Part of a Christian Church.

How was I Saved? I was Saved by the Holy Spirit of God. I would Say the Person Responsible for my Salvation was my Grandmother. She Gave me Several Bibles to Read and I Devoured them. I Loved Jesus and I wanted to Spend Eternity in Heaven with Jesus. I found Salvation in the Bible.

I Believed the Gospel Only for my Salvation. My Next Door Neighbor Also Hosted a Vacation Bible School at their Home teaching Bible Salvation to Children. They Taught the Gospel and we Memorized many Salvation Bible Verses. The Next Sunday in Church the Pastor had a Sermon on Salvation and he had Children come forward to the Altar who had Gone to Vacation Bible School. He talked with each Child individually.

I was 8 years Old. He Asked Me? “At Vacation Bible School Did You Learn how to Be Saved?”

I replied: “Yes. Jesus Died for Me. He Paid for All of My Sins on the Cross. He was Buried and Rose from the Dead to Save me. Than I quoted John 3:16.”

He Asked me: “Do You Really Believe this or are you saying this because this is what you were taught at Vacation Bible School and You are just repeating what you were told?”

I replied: “This is What I Myself Believe. I Believed it Before Vacation Bible School. I learned it in the Bible…”

My Pastor Finally said: “Good. If You Truly Believe this then Please Stay on the Altar and Pray to Jesus as Long as you want to. Tell him what You told me here. Ask Jesus to Save You. If You Truly Believe what You told me, you do, than Jesus will Answer Your Prayer and he will Save You.”

There were 7 Children in total, from what I can remember that the Pastor talked to on the Altar. I was the Last one…

I stayed on the Altar for a few minutes Praying…

The Reason I think that this Pastor Might Not have been Saved is Because the Church was a United Methodist Church. The United Methodist Church Doesn’t Teach Bible Salvation. They Teach You Can Lose Your Salvation.

Looking back on my years in his Church. He like a Good United Methodist Pastor was Very Catholic. He had the Doxology, We Always had to repeat the same verses every Service. People including myself had 15 minutes of Pre Sermon Rituals Remembered that we All Like Robots had to repeat. He Baptized New Born Babies to Get rid of Original Sin.

I think what he did with Children is whatever a Child told him was correct. No matter what the Child said to him. He would Ask them if they Truly Believed it. If they did he told them to Pray that then and Ask Jesus to Save You.

Like the Catholic Church the Methodist Church Doesn’t Teach a Person can Know for Sure that they are Saved. They Believe in Works Salvation so when You Die You cannot know if you will Really Go to Heaven.

The Altar Call for Children was just part of the Process for Methodists. This is common in many different Churches.

Saying that Prayer was Just one Step in Many Steps to a Possible Salvation. If You lived a Good Enough Life when You Died you would Go to Heaven is the Basic Concept…

My Father was so Messed up and Stressed out because of Church he Gave up Church Completely when I was around 13, when he was 40. My Dad lived the Next 42 years without Faith in Jesus. I remember my Mother Crying about it and Arguing with him about going to Church. They had a Huge Blow-up.

My Father Said: “Get Yourself a Drivers License and then you can take the kids and yourself to whatever Church you want to go to. But I am Done with All of that.”

I think that was the Last word my Dad ever said about it. I Learned Later that my Mom was Very Afraid of Getting my Dad Angry. Once my Dad made up his Mind that was it. The end of the Conversation forever.

When he died he did not have a Church Funeral. His Obituary Did Not Mention Church at All.

People who Believe they are a Christian who Belong to a Church, they will have a Christian Church Service and a Church Burial. Their Obituary would say Something like: “A Faithful Serving Member of the United Methodist Church for over 50 years…”

Their Last Pastor would Typically write their Obituary. My Dad was in Hospice for several months before he Died. He could have written his own Obituary. Since he had a published Obituary I think he either wrote it or he approved of what was written. His Obituary mentioned his Military Service, His Post Military Career and His Love for Woodworking. He had the other Basic Elements of an Obituary a list of names: His Wife, Parents, Siblings, his Children and his Grand Children. There was Nothing at all about him being a Christian. All I can take from this is My Dad Died without Faith in Jesus at All. Seriously, he could say that he Loved Wood Working but he couldn’t say he Loved Jesus… My Dad is an Example of a Man who REJECTED JESUS AND WENT TO HELL.

(Working with Wood is Something my Dad rarely did. Once every 10 years or so until he was 60 he would do something that could be called Wood Working. He did Nothing that was actually Wood Working. Home Improvement would be more accurate than Wood Working. He hung some drywall to replace Paneling he did not like for example. He did very little with wood. I think the Wood Working was added because when the News Paper read what was submitted they Asked is there anything He Loved to do? Hobbies? Anything? So my Brother said Woodworking… I am just brain storming what possibly happened.)

Counterfeit Christianity Destroys Lives for many reasons.

For some because they were taught there is Only a Small Hope for Salvation at best. They think they Deserve to Go to Heaven. The thought they might go to Hell is Always in the back of their minds.

Countless People Lose their Temper Easily when it Comes to just the Topic of Jesus. They are driven over the edge if someone wants to have a Conversation with them about Jesus.

I see this Everyday. People Hate God, they Hate Jesus. They Are Angry that God Would Dare Send them to Hell. They Are Angry because they Dwell on the Possibility of Going to Hell. This thought is like a Constant itch they cannot scratch. It deep down causes them real mental and physical anguish.

Death and Hell is Always in the back of their minds.

To Cope with it most people Reject that Hell is Real. The Most they are willing to Believe is that: Heaven is Not Real. Hell is Not Real. Or Everyone will go to Heaven. At the Very Worst They will have to do Penance in Purgatory for sometime before they will get to Heaven.

This is what I know people think because they write this type of stuff continually on Social Media. They even make videos saying exactly this. I am not guessing. This is what Thousands of people say daily online.

As Life Goes on I think Everyone thinks about Heaven and Hell, at least occasionally. People Try different things: Going to a Church. Going to some sort of Religious Organization.

Everyday I see People with a Deep Hatred for Christianity. I feel this Anger comes from Frustrated people who Don’t want to go to Hell. They Lash out at Christians / Christianity because they Feel they will Go to Hell and they Hate to think about it. They Think they are Victims of Christianity. They want to just Reject Hell as a Place they Might Go to but they cannot get the thought out of their heads. Because The Voice of the Holy Ghost is inside their Heads telling them they have the Choice between Heaven and Hell.

This is not a Theory on mine. This is From the Bible. Jesus said this:

John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Everyone Knows that they are a Sinner.

Everyone was Given a Conscience by God to Tell them what is Sin and what is Not Sin. When we Sin we know that we are Sinning. We also Understand that there is Always a Consequence for our Sin.

Jesus called these Hypocrites out for their own Sins. They wanted this Woman to Be Stoned to Death but Jesus said Wait up… You Guys are Hypocrites. You are Guilty of this Exact Sin too. Where is the man she was having Adultery with…

Jesus Forgave her of her Sins because he is God and as God he can Forgive Sin.

Note when Jesus told her to Go and Sin No More he was Not saying that is how a Person is Saved by Not Committing Sin. He is Really saying to her that Sin Does Have Consequences. So Do Not think it is OK to Sin Because it is Not OK.

Also You must understand that this passage is Not a Salvation Passage. The Point of the Passage is Jesus is The All Knowing God. He Knew the Sins of All of these people and he Pointed out their Sins, their Hypocrisy. Jesus Never makes Light of anyone’s Sin. He Also Never Tells a person that they can Save themselves from Hell by Not Sinning.

This Passage in Jude Explains that Jesus Hates Sin, But Jesus is Merciful to Sinners:

Jude 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

The Conclusion of this is that We All Know that we are Sinners that Need Jesus to Save us from Hell.

Christians Need to Actively Share the Gospel with People and Despite their Sins, No Matter how Vile their Sins are we Need to Work as Hard as we can to Open their Eyes to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To Drag them away from the Very Fire of Hell itself.

Jesus is makes it Clear Hell is Real and it is a Place of Fire.

Jesus is our Only Savior From Hell Fire. We cannot Save ourselves from Hell. The Consequence for Our Sin is Hell if we Reject Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

Everyone Knows that there are Consequences for their Sins.

The Vast Majority of People Chose to Believe that Being Good Enough in their overall Lives will cancel out All the Bad they have done. People want to think of themselves as Being Good. Too Good to Ever Go to Hell.

Almost No one Believes that Jesus is Enough to Save a Person from Hell. They Reject this. False Counterfeit Christianity has taught them that they have to Suffer, Do Penance, Because of their Sins.

John 16:1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

I Do Not Get Angry at Catholic’s, Mormon’s, the 7^th Day Adventists or any other Religious people because of their Religion.

People in Public have Blown up at me Just for Carrying a Bible.

My Carrying my Bible with me Caused them to Blow up. I did not even look at them or say a word to them. They ran at me and started shouting at me because they saw I was carrying a Bible. This type of thing has been very common in my Life. Passing out Gospel Tracts, having actual interaction with people, that I started, about Jesus causes people to lose their minds…

This Unhinged Anger is from people that Fear Hell and Death.

It is Very Easy to Ignore a Bible, to refuse a Gospel Tract… The simple thing to do is to Ignore the Bible, the Gospel Tract. There are Angry People you don’t want to waste your time with. Just walk past them. This is simple.

They Angrily engage with Christians because of their Extreme Hatred for Christians, Christianity for Jesus.

Counterfeit Christianity is Counterfeit because it closely looks like the real thing.

A Trick that Counterfeit Churches do is to talk out of both sides of their mouths. The Pastor will sometimes Preach the Gospel without Works. But the Gospel Tracts and most of the Church literature will Add Works to Salvation.

This is done to Bring down the Homes of True Christian Families. Real Christians will Join the Church because they casually look at it and might just be very Ignorant Christians. They will become Corrupted and Doubt their Salvation because of the Mixed Messages they keep hearing in this Counterfeit Church. Their Unsaved Children will possibly Never Become Christians because 99% of the time they hear a False Gospel taught Preached.

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Mark 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Life is Meaningless without Jesus.

The Only way to Live Life is to become more and more Like Jesus. To share in his sufferings…

Breaking this down we need to have the full context of what Paul is talking about.

In Philippians 3:10-14 the Apostle Paul is talking about being Christlike. He wants to Follow the example Jesus gave us.

Paul wants to Know Jesus on the Deepest Level possible, including his sufferings.

Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

Paul when he says apprehended, in this context it means to have achieved.

Counterfeit Christianity, Biblical Ignorance Is An Epidemic. Spiritual Discernment Does Not Exist within the Christian Church.

Spiritual Discernment / Biblical Knowledge doesn’t exist in the “Christian” Church.

Counterfeit Christian Church Goers are Biblically Ignorant Because they Don’t Read the Bible.

“Christian” Pastors are Not Christians at All. They are Lost False Teachers. Biblical Ignorance is a Bible Prophecy as is False Teachers and Counterfeit False Churches / Christians

1^st John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Christians are Commanded to: Believe Not Every spirit!!!!

Counterfeit Christianity Says the Opposite:

“Stop Judging me!!!!” “How Dare You Question anyone’s Faith!!!!” “Believe Everyone who Says they are a Christian!”

This is the Simple Truth. Online Christianity Doesn’t Exist. (Sure there are a handful of Christians. But that is Not a Real Presence, actually Existing online.)

True Christianity is Blocked, Hidden Shadow Banned online to a point it is Nearly Invisible.

Blind Faith is Spiritual Blindness. Christians Must Question Everyone, Everything.

Counterfeit Christians / False Teachers are Everywhere calling for Christian Unity. That is Not Biblical!!!!

These Frauds, False Teachers are Telling Christians to Blindly Accept False Doctrines, False Teachers, False Counterfeit Christians.

Any Christian who has Read the Bible will see that Jesus’ own Disciples fought each other. They Argued Frequently about what Jesus Taught, the Scriptures. Their Arguments always brought out the Truth.

The Apostle Paul, had Extreme Disagreements / Arguments with Peter, with his Missionary Partner Barnabas and many others.

Christians in the Bible were Tough on Each Other and Fought Each Other because they wanted the Truth. They were Not going to be used by Satan to corrupt Christianity.

A Big Fight was over Circumcision:

Galatians 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. 13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. 14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? 15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. 18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

The Apostle Peter and many others were Wrongly teaching that the Gentiles needed to be Circumcised and to Keep the Jewish Law.

Paul was Very Angry and Told them that No One was Saved by being Circumcised, by Keeping the Jewish Law.

Galatians 2 verses 16 and 21 are two of the most POWERFUL verses in the Bible:

Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Paul Confronts the Galatians Harshly about this in Galatians Chapter 3:

Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. 22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

All Christians Are Required to Boldly Stand Up, Fight For the Christian Faith.

This Fight is Not a Violent Fight. It is Not a Physical Fight. It is a Verbal Fight. You must Communicate with Words to Defend the Christian Faith.

If you find yourself in a Church that is Teaching a False Gospel You need to Immediately Leave that Satanic False Church.

You must Spread the Gospel and Expose Everyone who is a False Counterfeit Christian / a False Teacher.

If You have Discovered that people you consider to be Your Friends are Two Faced Hypocrites. That say one thing and do another, You must Confront them and Hold them accountable to the Truth. You cannot associate with Frauds like that without compromise.

The Bible Teaches that a Person is Saved by Believing the Gospel Only for their Salvation:

1^st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

What does it mean to TRY THE SPIRITS WHETHER THEY ARE OF GOD…

…but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Every Person is a Body, a Soul and a Spirit. So in the Simplest Terms to try a spirit is to Simply Ask Everyone You associate with:

“If you were to Die Right this Second and you were standing before Jesus Right Now and Jesus Asked You… Why should I let You into Heaven? What would you say?”

That is a very Simple Straightforward Question that 99.9% of People either Refuse to Answer (Many Counterfeit Christians get Mad and offended. “How Dare You Ask me that!!!!”) or they are Trusting in their own Good Works to get them into Heaven.

An Actual Christian will Not be offended by someone wanting to know what they are trusting in to get them to Heaven.

Try the spirits: Ask many Questions about a Person’s Faith.

Wrong Answers:

I Repented of My Sins. (Repent of Sin is Not in the Bible. It is a False Works Salvation.)

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/14/beware-of-the-repent-of-sin-false-gospel/

I was raised in a Christian Home. (So What…)

I was Baptized in Water. (Water Baptism is Not Required for Salvation.)

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/14/acts-238-explained/

I have Always Been a Christian. (My Ex Wife told me this. She was Never Saved, she is a Counterfeit Christian. I made a Huge mistake Trusting her when she said she was a Christian. FYI going to Church doesn’t make anyone a Christian. Church Membership doesn’t equal Salvation.)

I am: a Catholic, a Baptist, a Mormon, Church of Christ, Church of God, a Lutheran, a Methodist, etc… (Jesus wasn’t any of those, Neither was anyone in the Bible. Being a member of a Religious Organization Doesn’t Save You.)

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2023/04/12/jesus-said-i-never-knew-you-depart-from-me/

A Person is Saved by Trusting in Jesus Only:

“Jesus, when I was 8 years Old I Believed the Gospel Only to Save me. I Asked You to Save me. I am Trusting Only in your Death, Burial and Resurrection to Save me From Hell. You Died in my Place, Shed Your Precious Blood to Pay the Penalty for All of My Sins. You Bore All of my Sins in Your Body to Save me from Hell. Jesus I am Trusting in You Only to Let me into Heaven.”

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2024/11/29/to-be-saved-biblical-bible-salvation-what-does-it-mean-to-believe-on-in-jesus/

Because Virtually Everyone knows this is the Right Answer I will ask people who say this Follow up Questions.

(People will Say things they Don’t Believe to Deceive You.)

You Didn’t Repent of Your Sins? Their Answer Typically: “Yes, I Repented of My Sins. That is Part of Believing in Jesus…

Counterfeit False Christians are Very Deceitful Liars… They are Trained in Telling you what they think You want to Hear. To Get at the Truth about what they Really Believe You have to Dig Deep.

Trying the spirits Requires a Lot of work.

You cannot Blindly Believe a Person just because they Claim to be a Christian.

I have had to Call People Liars right to their Faces Because I could tell that they were Lying to me.

“Joe, Stop it!!!! I saw a Video you put online where You are Telling people they have to Surrender their Lives to Jesus Christ to Be Saved.”

Joe Replies: “So? That is Obviously Just Part of the Gospel…”

People who are Lying to you will run you in circles.

So, when you realize they are Lying to You Call them out for it. Then end the Conversation as soon as You can. Stay away from Lying Frauds like this.

Biblically Explaining Catholic, Baptist, Other Churches Use, Definition of Penance, Repent / Repentance

Penance, Repent / Repentance As Used in Almost All “Christian” Churches, Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, etc…, Is A Catholic Teaching.

Ecumenicalism is the Rule Not the Exception in Churches Worldwide. There is a Fake Notion that Mainstream Non Catholic “Christian” Churches offer a Different Plan of Salvation than the Catholic Church Does.

Strip the Catholic Church of its Mary and Pope Worship. All of their Paganism: Praying to the Dead, Lighting Candles, Saint Worshiping. All of their Hail Mary’s, Punishments (How they Do Penance for one instance.) If You strip this All Away what is Left is the same Teachings that are taught in 90%, more or less, of Baptist and Other Non Catholic “Christian” Churches.

There is a Huge Amount of Paganism, and Non Biblical Teachings in Baptist Churches too.

I am calling out the Baptist Churches because they are the Biggest Frauds when it comes to Churches. They Twist the Bible around like a Pretzel to Teach their Numerous False Doctrines, their False Gospel of Works. This is also True of at least 90% of All the Other so called “Christian” Counterfeit Churches.

I have directly called out dozens of Pastors in these Churches for their False Gospel, their False Unbiblical Teachings.

Not one of them could Defend what they Teach with the Bible. Once they see I know the Bible and they cannot Lie to me with All of their Bible Twisting they cut off All Communication with me. When Confronted with Numerous Bible Passages that Absolutely Refute what they are Teaching they say something like:

False Counterfeit Pastor: “You have to look at the Bigger Picture. You are Correct that the Bible Doesn’t say Repent of Sin but the Bible Does Teach Repent of Sin, Turn from Sin, to Be Saved. You are just too Ignorant and Not taught how to Rightly Divide the Bible…”

These Bible Twisters Go On and On… They Twist Many Bible Verses to push their False Gospel. These Verses Do Not say or Remotely Teach that Repent, Repentance means to Repent of Sin. They Do Not Say To Turn from Sin, Forsake Sin, etc…, to Be Saved.

My Reply: “Not One of the Scriptures you are using Says what you claim they say. You Add Repent of Sin and or to Turn From Sin to them when the Scriptures Don’t say that in anyway. Also None of the Scriptures you are using is a Salvation Passage. No one is Saved in Any of the Passages you are Using. I have given you more than a dozen Salvation Passages and Not one of them mention a Person has to Repent of Sin, Turn From Sin, Forsake Sin, etc…, to Be Saved.”

False Counterfeit Pastor: “The Trinity is Not Mentioned by that Word in the Bible Either but there is a Trinity in the Bible. This is the Same Concept in Use when I, when Pastors say You have to Repent of Sin, Turn From Your Sins to Be Saved. Repent of Sin, Turn From Your Sins Does Not have to be Directly said Anywhere in the Bible to be True. When You Repent You are Repenting of Sin. That is Clear to All Bible Scholars. To anyone with a College Degree from a Good Bible College. You do not know how to Rightly Divide the Bible.”

My Reply: “The Only Reason the word Trinity is Acceptable to be used is Because: in the Bible God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit / The Holy Ghost are All Clearly defined as One God in three Persons. Trinity is Obviously just another Word for Three. It is Not what you are doing with the words Repent / Repentance, Turn from Sin, Forsake Sin, etc… What You and everyone that teaches this are doing is Adding Words to the Scriptures that are Not there. You are Taking Scriptures Completely out of Context to Teach Your False Works Gospel. It is a Big Deal that the Bible Says A Person is Saved by Believing the Gospel Only. It is A Big Deal that Not One Person was Saved in the Bible by Repenting of their Sins, Turning from Their Sins etc… Jesus, None of his Apostles, None of his Disciples Taught what You and People like You are teaching.”

This is how a Typical Conversation Goes Between me and a False Pastor / Evangelist. The Example above is just a small look at it.

Jesus Constantly stood against False Religious Leaders.

All throughout the Bible, we find Numerous Scriptures that talk about False Religious Leaders. Much of Jesus time in the New Testament is taken up with Battling False Teachers.

False Teachers have Ignorant Lemmings in their Congregations that Do Not Read and Study the Bible for themselves. They just know how to Repeat the Propaganda they hear in Church. These people are All over Social Media Pushing this False Counterfeit Gospel.

To Be Clear This Biblical Message is Against the False Teachings You will Find in the Catholic Church and All Non Catholic Counterfeit Christian Churches.

Please be Sure to Read to the End because I will show you that there is No Substantial Doctrinal Difference Between what the Catholic Church Teaches on Penance, Repent / Repentance and What the Mainstream Baptist, and other Non Catholic “Christian” Churches Teach.

All of these Churches Are Teaching Works Salvation. They All Teach a False Counterfeit Gospel.

Note There are a small Percentage of Independent Baptist and Other Independent Churches that Have Salvation Correct. The Percentage of Churches that are Teaching the Only True Gospel is Very Small.

Before I get into the Main Points I Must First Explain what the Truth is. The True Gospel, The Truth about Repent / Repentance:

There is a REAL, a Clearly defined Difference between what people are Falsely taught the Bible says about Repent / Repentance and what the Bible Actually says.

Below are a few facts about “Repent” as it is found in its various forms in both the Old and New Testaments:

The word “Repent” is found forty-five times in the King James Bible; “Repentance” twenty-six times; “Repented” thirty-two times; “Repentest” one time; “Repenteth” five times; “Repenting” one time; and “Repentings” one time – a total of 111 times in both the Old and New Testaments.

The word in its various forms is found forty-six times in the Old Testament and sixty-five in the New Testament. Of the forty-six times the word appears in the Old Testament, twenty-eight times God does the repenting, not man.

For example, inExodus 32:14the Bible says, “And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.”

What did God Do??? Did God Repent of his Sin???

No God does not Sin.

God Changed his mind. Repent means to Change your mind.

In addition to the twenty-eight times that God Repents in the Old Testament, there are nine other passages that tell of things about which God does not or did not Repent.

Of the forty-six times a form of the word “Repentance” appears in the Old Testament, only nine times is man doing the Repenting. Thirty-seven times it has reference to God’s Repenting or telling us of things about which God did not or will not Repent.

Now, if “Repent” means to Turn from Sin, to Repent of Sin, to Forsake Sin we have a huge problem.

That would mean God had to Turn from His Sin, To Repent of His Sin, To Forsake his Sin.

God is Sinless and does not Sin.

But if “Repentance” means a change of mind, then it is consistent with the Bible. God changes His mind over and over again in the Bible.

“Repent of your sins,” it is not found in the Bible.

Repentance means to change your mind.

Acts 17:30And the times of this ignorance God winked at [overlooked]; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.

What they were to repent or change their mind about is clear fromverse 29. Here the Scripture says, “…we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold or silver or stone, graven by art and man’s device!”

They needed to change their mind about God and see that He is not a graven image made of gold, silver, or stone but that He is a living God and is going to be their judge.

Verse 31, “Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”

InLuke 13:5Jesus said, “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”

The context of this verse shows that they needed to repent or change their mind regarding punishment and sin.

Luke 13:1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

In this passage, Jesus was talking to people who believed that people suffered only because of their sins, and they concluded that those in Galilee whose blood Pilate mingled with sacrifices and those on whom the tower of Siloam fell were greater sinners because they died such horrible deaths.

Jesus contradicts the thinking of these self-righteous people and tells them that they need to Repent or Change Their Mind and see themselves as sinners, too, or they will perish in their own self-righteousness.

You will never find any verse in the Bible that Says to Repent of Sin.

Repentance / Repent / Penance is also Falsely Called to be Sorry over Sin. This is Not Found in the Bible.

People Falsely use 2nd Corinthians 7:9,10 to say Repentance is sorrow over Sin.

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

Verse 9 makes it crystal clear that Repentance does not mean to be Sorry over Sin. To be Sorry at all.

Paul says: “I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry,” he was not Happy that he made them Sorry.

He was happy that they Repented. It is clear that Repentance is not Sorrow. Paul said their Sorrow caused them to Repent.

Repentance is not Sorrow.

10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

See the verse Clearly says “godly sorrow worketh repentance…” Godly sorrow is not Repentance, it causes a person to Repent.

You Have to Realize, to See Yourself as a Sinner 1st. Once You See and Know that You are a Sinner, This Makes You Sorry and You see Yourself for the Guilty Sinner that You are. Someone that Deserves to Go to Hell.

Then 2nd After this Realization You Repent and Change Your Mind. You Change Your Mind about Your Need for Jesus to be Your Savior.

Let me give you an example.

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Repentance is when a person realizes by the Holy Spirit of God that they are a dirty rotten Sinner that deserves to go to Hell. This sorrow over being a Sinner causes a person to Repent to Believe on Jesus only to Save them.

Repentance is not Sorrow. Sorrow leads a person to Repent, to Believe on Jesus.

Notice the above passage does not say to Repent of Sin. It also does not call Repentance Sorrow.

The Holy Spirit is shouting to the entire World “You are a Dirty Rotten Sinner. Jesus died for your Sins….”

People only seek Jesus because the Holy Spirit of God makes them realize they are a Sinner that needs Jesus to Save them.

It is important to look at the context of verses we use.

2nd Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.

4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.

8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.

Right hear in verse 8 Paul is defining Repent as to Change your mind.

Paul did not Change his mind (Repent) because he made them Sorry with his letter. He did not Regret what he wrote to them.

“…though I did repent:” What he is saying here is when Titus told him that his letter made the Church sorry at first he changed his mind at the letter he had sent and felt it was a bad letter.

Then after he completely understood what affect his letter had on the Church he realized his letter was good and had the needed affect on the Church. So Paul’s final reaction to the news from Titus was to be glad that he sent the letter. To not Change his mind (Repent) of the letter he had sent.

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.

13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.

15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.

The entire passage is talking about Titus giving a good report to Paul about the Change (Repentance) his letter caused in the Church at Corinth.

Everyone is Saved by the Gospel Only. You will not find Jesus, Paul or any of Jesus other Disciples teaching to Be Saved you have to Repent of Sin.

The Gospel:

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Repentance is from Unbelief in Jesus to Belief in Jesus. To Believe the Gospel Only to Save you. Repentance Is Not From Sinful Behavior.

Another Verse False Teachers use is Acts 3:19 it is Twisted to Teach Repent of Sin.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Notice It Does Not Say to Repent of Sin.

Repent ye therefore, (The Comma Separates thoughts, words, items.) and be Converted,

Repent ye therefore, and be Converted, This Means You Repent Change Your Mind about Your Unbelief in Jesus to Belief in Jesus.

Now that you have Believed on Jesus You are Converted, Your Sins have Been Given to Jesus to Pay for. You Do Not have to Pay for Your Sins now.

This is what Converted means to Be Changed from One Condition to Another.

Now Jesus can Blot Out Your Sins. Because You Changed Your Mind about Jesus from Unbelief to Belief. You have Believed on, in Jesus Only, to Save You look:

The Context: The Entire Passage:

Acts 3:12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? 13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. 14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; 15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. 16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. 17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Peter Preached the Gospel to them and Finished with:

Change Your Mind, and Let Jesus Convert You From a Lost Person Full of Sin, to a Saved Person who has Believed on Jesus Sacrifice on the Cross to Save You From Hell the Penalty for Your Sins.

The Main Message:

Most Non Catholic Churches Claim they Do Not Teach Catholic Doctrines. This Frankly is Not the Truth.

Baptist Churches for the most part are Very Catholic. Their Core Doctrines are 80% Catholic as are Protestant Churches. That Percentage is an Average some Churches are More Catholic than others are. But they All take Heavily from the Catholic Church in the Doctrines they Observe and Teach.

In these “Christian” Churches Penance, Repent / Repentance go hand and hand. They are the two sides of the same coin.

In the Catholic Church Penance, Repent / Repentance are Defined as:

The Following is from Catholic Online:

Penanceis a sacrament of the NewLawinstituted byChristin which forgiveness of sins committed afterbaptismis granted through the priest’sabsolutionto those who with true sorrow confess their sins and promise to satisfy for the same. It is called a “sacrament” not simply a function or ceremony, because it is an outward sign instituted byChristto impartgraceto the soul. As an outward sign it comprises the actions of the penitent in presenting himself to thepriestand accusing himself of his sins, and the actions of thepriestin pronouncingabsolutionand imposing satisfaction. This whole procedure is usually called, from one of its parts, “confession”, and it is said to take place in the “tribunal of penance”, because it is a judicial process in which the penitent is at once the accuser, thepersonaccused, and the witness, while thepriestpronounces judgment and sentence. Thegraceconferred is deliverance from the guilt ofsinand, in the case of mortal sin, from its eternal punishment; hence alsoreconciliationwith God, justification. Finally, theconfessionis made not in the secrecy of the penitent’s heart nor to a layman as friend and advocate, nor to a representative of human authority, but to a duly ordainedpriestwith requisite jurisdiction and with the ” power of the keys “, i.e., the power to forgive sins whichChristgranted to His Church.

REPENTANCE

Voluntary sorrow because it offends God, for having done something wrong, together with the resolve to amend one’s conduct by taking the necessary means to avoid the occasions of sin. To repent is to be sorry for sin with self-condemnation. (Etym. Latin repoenitere, to be very sorry, regret intensely.)

The Above Catholic Church Definitions are Virtually the Same as in 90% (give or take a little) of Baptist and of All Churches that Call themselves “Christian” Churches.

The Baptist and Other Non Catholic Churches they Bundle Penance in with their Definitions of Repent / Repentance

Repentance-Penance-and-the-Forgiveness-of-Sins They Will Say You have to Have Godly Sorrow (This Fits the Definition of Penance) to have True Real Repentance.

I have Not been in many “KJV Bible Baptist Churches” that Doesn’t have a Pastor that Acts like a Catholic Priest when it comes to Repent / Repentance and Yes Penance. They Expect Their Church Members to Abstain from Everything Under the Sun. And to Be Sorry, to Feel Extreme Guilt for their Sin as Part of their Repentance for Sin.

Church Members when caught in Sin are Shamed Before the Entire Church.

They are Required to Confess these Sins Before the Church and Vow, Swear that they will Turn Away from the Sin / Sins, and Not do them again.

I have seen this Public Humiliation too many times. This is a Big Reason I Left KJV Only Baptist Churches.

This happened in A KJV Only Baptist Church I was in:

The Pastor had a Public Humiliation and Confession of Sin of his Assistant Pastor and his whole Family. He had an Accuser Accuse them of Breaking a Rule the Pastor had made. They Admitted what had happened and Apologized to the Church in Great Sorrow.

After the Public Humiliation, the Assistant Pastor and his Family Standing in Front of the Church, the Pastor said:

“The Assistant Pastor and his Family is No Longer Welcome in this Church.”

Their Crime was to Have a Television in their Home.

This type of Legalism and Excommunication is Extremely Common in many “Christian” Churches.

This “Pastor” went on and Demanded that Every Church member Spy on one another and Tell him All of the Sins that they see from members in the Church.

In this type of Legalistic Church, people who are Struggling with Actual Sin cannot seek help by talking to the Pastor or another Church member about their Battle Against Sin because they don’t want to be Publicly Shamed and Excommunicated from the Church.

At least in the Catholic Church the Confession of Sin is kept behind closed doors.

Baptist Churches and Others Publicly Shame Everyone about Sin.

Most of the time the People being Shamed about Sin are Falsely accused of Sins that they are Not Guilty of.

From the time I was a Teenager to my 30’s I was always being Falsely accused of Sexual Misconduct. For Example:

The Deacon of my Church saw me walking into the Church with a Young Woman:

He said to me: “I know what is going on. You Know the Rules. You cannot be alone with a Female. Giving a Female a Ride to Church and From Church without a proper Escort is Not allowed. It is Obvious what is going on Between you two.”

The Female in Question She Immediately Started Crying and said to him: “I haven’t been to Church in 3 weeks because You and Your Family Stopped coming by and picking me up for Church. I called in advance and every time I was told you would be there to give me a ride to Church. After it was obvious that You were Not going to come and give me a Ride to Church I called the Church and he answered and came over and gave me a ride to Church.”

She Continued: “You are Falsely Accusing us. I am used to this type of Horrible Behavior from people I work with because I am a Single Female in the Navy. You know the talk: Navy Women Join the Navy because they are Looking for Men to hook up with. You know they say the Absolutely Worst things about Women in the Navy… To Accuse him as well as me is Wrong because You know he is Well Respected in this Church and is Not the type of Man you are accusing him of being. You are the Only Person at Fault here.”

The Deacon Red Faced said to Me: “I stand by what I said. You Knowingly Broke the Rules so your Motive is Obvious. You cannot do this again. She has money she can take a cab to Church, buy a car etc… It is Her Responsibility alone to get to Church. It Certainly isn’t my Responsibility to give her rides to Church. We drive by her place and pick her up when she is outside. She wasn’t outside so I kept going. I am Not going to be Late to Church because she is Not where she should have been to get a ride from me.”

She Replied: “You Did Not Drive by the Bus Stop, where you told me to be today and for the Last two weeks. I am always at least 15 minutes early to the Bus stop. I waited for at least 45 minutes past the time you told me that you would be there to pick me up. Today because I did not want to miss Church again I waited for 30 minutes than called the Church to get a ride. Also the Church Service Doesn’t Start for another 15 minutes. None of us made it to Church Late.”

Red Faced the Deacon Glared at her than he Glared at me. He said to me: “You know that there is No Excuse for Your Behavior. This Church doesn’t Tolerate it at All!”

The Deacon Grabbed her by the Arm and Pulled her into the Church Office and Closed the Door.

KJV Only Baptist Churches are this Strict, Legalistic. The Churches I was in were even much worse. I cannot share with the Public how bad it gets.

This All Connects to Penance, Repent / Repentance because:

Baptists and Non Catholic Churches Do Not Separate Their Definition of Penance from Repent / Repentance at All. To them Penance is a Required Part of Repentance.

Accordingly A Person who is Actively “Sinning” In their Eyes is Not Saved. A Saved Person Would Not be Caught Breaking the Rules of the Church. And When Caught they would Do Penance by Being Immediately Sorry and Explaining how they were Wrong. How they would TURN FROM THEIR SIN AND NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

The Deacon Expected Us to Confess to our Fornication. At a minimum he wanted us to Admit Our Behavior was going to End in Fornication.

Neither of us Admitted to Doing Anything Wrong. Because we did Nothing Wrong. We Did Not Sign a Pledge to the Church that we would Never be Alone with a member of the opposite Sex. There was Nothing in the Church’s Documentation about Not being Alone with the opposite Sex. I was Never Directed by the Pastor or the Deacon, etc… about Not Driving a Single Woman alone to Church.

Still the Deacon Expected Us to Show him our Penance, Repentance. She Did Cry but her Tears came from Anger at being Falsely accused. He wanted Real Public Penance and Repentance from from us. He did not get it so the Dozens of People who witnessed this scene told the rest of the Church. (Endless Church Gossip accused us of Fornication, and Not being Saved at All because we Refused to Confess, Do Penance and Repent of our Sin.)

Being Publicly Shamed to the point of Crying is Doing Penance.

If You have Ever Heard Baptist, Southern Baptist, Many other Denominations Preach About “True Repentance” you will Quickly Realize that they Always Bundle Penance into their Definition of True Repentance. Because they say:

“True Repentance Doesn’t Happen without Tears and Deep Sorrow Over Your Sins. You have to Be Deeply Sorry For Your Sins and You Must Turn From All of your Sins. You Must Confess All of Your Sins and Commit to Not Repeat them Again. If You Do Not Do this. If You Do Not Hate Your Sins, What You have Done than You are Not Saved. You Also Have to Turn Away From All of Your Sins and Walk in a New Direction. You have to Do Works Good Enough to Be Worthy of Going to Heaven…”

The Catholic Church and Almost All Non Catholic Churches They have the Same Definition of Repent / Repentance.

Baptists and Other Churches just Simply Bundle the Definition of Penance in with their Definition of Repent / True Repentance. A Quick online Search will Clearly show this to be True.

To Be Saved, Biblical Bible Salvation: What Does It Mean To Believe On / In Jesus?

Belief In Jesus. To Believe On Jesus is How a Person is Saved. This is Biblical Bible Salvation. When You Understand who Jesus is. Who the Biblical Jesus is.

The Problem Confusion on the Belief In / On Jesus, starts Immediately in the Bible. In the Garden of Eden and it has Continued until today.

There are Huge Major Controversies about what Belief In / On Jesus Means, (Is) for Salvation. I will Clear this All up Biblically, All of the Confusion, in this Message.

**** NOTE **** This will be a Long Message. It has to be to do Justice to the Topic and to Give a Complete Readable Clear Conclusive Biblical Explanation. People (Actually, Dishonest Trolls, that Do the Work of Satan. Counterfeit Christians who Demand that I explain every word I say with the Bible.) Demand that I Go into Great Detail than when I do they say: “I am not going to Read that Novel…” These Lying Frauds Demand Detailed Explanations but when I give them what they are requesting they refuse to read what I have written. These Devils Don’t care about the Truth. They All have Rejected the Truth Long ago. They just want to Tear Down the Truth so they can Push their False Gospel of Works.

**** Please Don’t Ignore the Truth. Please take the time to read this entire Salvation Message. This Salvation Message is the Most Important Message on Salvation You can Ever Read. ****

The Top Salvation Issue is Belief In / Belief On Jesus Himself. The Belief in the Bible. Belief in what Jesus says in the Bible.

People Get Easily Confused Because they Expect to Hear the Truth in Church. Sadly they are Taught Lies in Most Churches. Their Family and Friends Repeat the False Gospel they were taught too, so it is Understandable why People are Confused about Salvation.

God IS NOT the Author of Confusion.

1^st Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Satan, Lucifer, the Devil is the Author of Confusion.

To Be Clear I have to go over the Fight against the Truth of Jesus, the Belief In / On Jesus. The Origin of this Fight:

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Jesus was Attacked by Satan from the Very Beginning of the Human Race. Satan Lied to Eve in the Garden of Eden. Satan the Liar, called Jesus a Liar.

Questioning the Truth of Jesus Words is What All False Counterfeit Christians and Churches do.

They make People Doubt, Question what the Bible is Clearly Saying. Like Satan they Add to Jesus Words and Subtract, Omit Words that Jesus said. They Openly Call Jesus a Liar.

By Doing this they make themselves God.

Almost Every “Christian” Church on the Earth says: “Belief On / In Jesus Alone will Not Save You.”

They Openly Mock the Suggestion that You are Saved by Believing On / In Jesus Only to Save You.

What the Bible Says on Salvation:

Acts 16:30 “…Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

The entire passage:

Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

Acts 16:30 “…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…”

This Message Will Explain what it means to Believe On In the Lord Jesus Christ.

Explaining Acts 16:30:

The Jailer he Asked how to Be Saved. The Answer was: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

To Be Saved You Need to Understand what it means to Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Look at verse 32: 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

Paul told him the Words of Jesus…

He Explained to him who Jesus was and what his Ministry was. Basically a summary of the Gospel’s. What he and Jesus other Disciples have been Preaching. What Paul was Jailed for Preaching.

Satan, False Counterfeit Churches All Add Works to Salvation, or Just Omit Jesus Own Words on Salvation to Keep People from Being Saved. To Confuse people. To Confuse the Truth of the Gospel.

God is Not the Author of Confusion, which means False Churches, Counterfeit Churches are Deliberately Twisting the Scriptures to Teach a False Gospel that is Not Taught in the Bible.

Understand A Lie is A Lie Not Only when You Tell Something that is Not True. A Lie is Also A Lie when you Tell Half Truths, Omit the Whole Truth. Like Say: “Belief in the Gospel Only to Be Saved, means that You Do Not have to Believe that Jesus is God…”

Satan is the Author of Confusion. He is a Liar:

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The entire passage:

John 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. 48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

Jesus was Crucified because he Said he was God, the Promised Messiah.

We are Saved by Believing In, On Jesus Only, by Believing the Entire Gospel:

False Teachers, Counterfeit Christianity, Ignore: “…if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.”

Here in Verse 2 Paul is calling Everyone’s attention to his Prior Preaching on Salvation. There is No Doubt that Paul and All of the Disciples Taught the Basic Long Established Truths: Jesus is God, Jesus was Virgin Born, Salvation is Eternal Life, etc… Jesus Taught, Preached All of this in the Bible, during his Ministry.

You cannot be Saved if You Deny these Truths and other Essential Truths that Jesus Taught / Preached. Paul and All of Jesus Disciples Taught / Preached the same Truth, the same Gospel Message.

To Be Saved a Person must be Taught, hear the Word of God Preached over time. Preaching takes place over time.

This Means there are many Things that a Person Must Believe about Jesus to be Saved. You cannot just give a person a few Bible Verses and tell them that they are Saved if they Believe them Only.

Countless People who Claim to Believe the Gospel Only for their Salvation will say: “I Don’t Believe Jesus is God.” “I Don’t Believe in Eternal Life.” “You have to be Baptized to Be Saved. ETC…”

People Add Works to the Gospel and they Deny Essential Facts concerning Jesus and the Gospel and Claim they are Saved. This All Happens because they were taught a False Gospel.

Thousands of these People Have NEVER HEARD THE BIBLE TAUGHT / PREACHED A DAY IN THEIR LIVES. Many of them read False “Christian” Tracts, Books and Believed them. Or they grew up in, went to a False Counterfeit Christian Church. Thus they have Never Heard the Bible Preached. A False Message is a False Gospel. Hearing Only Part of the Gospel, Not Hearing the Biblical Gospel Preached, Taught Completely is Not the Hearing the Message of the Gospel.

1^st Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

We Are SAVED Through the Preaching of the Word of God.

Belief in the Gospel is 100% how we are Saved. With the Understanding of the Teaching the Preaching that Jesus did in the Gospels.

You Have to Believe In / On the Biblical Jesus to Be Saved.

The Bible Tells us Warns us of False Gospel’s, False Christ’s. Repeatedly Jesus Warns us about these False Prophets that Teach a False Gospel, a False Jesus.

In the 4 Gospels we can read Jesus words he Taught. Jesus Directly taught these words to his Disciples to the Apostle Paul too.

What Jesus taught in the Bible in the 4 Gospels is Essential for us to Believe for our Salvation, to be Saved.

The Word of God from Genesis to Revelation is ALL Jesus Words spoken by himself to us written down by men he chose to do so in the Bible.

Jesus makes it Clear in the Gospels what the Essential Beliefs are for Salvation. (Believe In, Believe On Jesus to be Saved.)

Believe In Jesus, Believe On Jesus Clearly Means to Believe what He Taught / Preached about Himself.

Jesus said He was God in the Flesh. Jesus said he was Virgin Born. Jesus taught Salvation is Eternal Life. Jesus said we are Saved by Believing his Words, by Believing what the Scriptures said about him. What this means is what the Old Testament said about him. Jesus taught the Complete, Entire Gospel Contrary to what Ignorant people believe. Jesus being the Savior of the World is Taught in the Old Testament, Not just in the New Testament.

Everything that the New Testament Teaches about Salvation is also Taught in the Old Testament.

Jesus was Crucified because he Claimed to be the Promised Messiah / that he was God in the Flesh.

So if You want to Understand How to Be Saved you Need to Understand Exactly what Jesus Preached and Taught which I am in the Process of Explaining in this Message.

Any Honest Person who Reads this Entire Message will see that Everything I am saying is Firmly Established in the Bible and is Not my own Independent Teaching.

Every True Christian Church Believes what I am including below. Everything I am saying is Well Established Church Doctrine. It is just Summarized and Explained in Plain Language to make it Easy for people with a Grade School Education to Understand.

1^st Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

James 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

To Be Saved a Person Does Not Need to be a Bible Scholar. But they Do Need to know what Jesus Taught. They Need to Understand what Jesus Preached.

Belief, to Believe has to Based on Jesus on what Jesus Preached and Taught in the Gospels, in the Bible.

Counterfeit Christians, Counterfeit Evangelists and Churches they are Pushing Salvation without Preaching, without Teaching. As if a Person who is Ignorant of the Bible, of Jesus Ministry can Somehow be Saved with Complete Ignorance of the Scriptures. That is NOT WHAT JESUS TAUGHT!!!!

Jesus Ministry Lasted for 3 ½ years for a Good Reason. He Preached Continuously Quoting the Scriptures. He Declared that he was the Promised Messiah. He performed Numerous Miracles to Establish himself as the Promised Messiah, God in the Flesh.

Too Many So-Called “Christian” Evangelists will spend 10 minutes with a Person and Get them to Say a Prayer and they will Declare that Presto they are Saved.

Many False Counterfeit Christian Evangelists / Churches Do this!!!! Where is the Preaching!!!!

Preaching is Required for a Person to Be Saved!!!! The Bible is Very Clear on this.

1^st Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

Preaching! Preaching! Preaching!!!!

Christianity 101 You must Believe Everything Below to Be Saved.

There is NOT ONE LEGITIMATE CHRISTIAN CHURCH THAT WILL DENY JESUS / THE BIBLE HAS ESTABLISHED THE BELOW CORE BELIEFS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR SALVATION.

For Example: If Jesus had a human Father than Jesus could Not Save us. Jesus could Not Save us if he was Not God in the Flesh. These (The Virgin Birth and Jesus Deity / Jesus is God in the Flesh) are just two Examples from Christianity 101 of why there are Essential Biblical Beliefs for a Person to Be Saved. Jesus Himself Established All of these in the New Testament and in the Old Testament.

Many False Teachers / Counterfeit Christianity, will Claim that these Essential Beliefs are All or in Part Just False Catholic Teachings that are Not All True and even if True are Not Essential to a Person’s Salvation. Only a Lost Biblically Ignorant Person would Believe their Lies.

Christianity 101:

Jesus Virgin Birth:

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The Deity of Jesus Christ, Jesus is God in the Flesh:

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

1^st John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

The Trinity / There is 1 God in 3 Persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit / the Holy Ghost:

Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. 25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

The Bible is the Inerrant Word of God:

Psalms 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Psalms 18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. 29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God? 32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

**** The above passages in Proverbs 30 and in Psalms 18 are telling us to Trust in the Scriptures and if we Do God will Protect us. Psalms 18 is Establishing that God’s Word is a candle a light that will show us the way. If we Believe and follow God’s Word God will Bless us and give us the ability to Accomplish Everything he has Directed us to do.

****Note**** John Chapter 5, as do other Chapters in the Bible, Establishes All the Essential Points of Christianity 101. The Bible is Highly Repetitive and Some Passages Speak to Jesus Deity / Virgin Birth, Eternal Salvation, the Authority of the Belief in the Scriptures to Save You, The Gospel.

John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. 15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. 16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. 17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. 19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

**** Verse 24 is a Direct Reference to Jesus Preaching, that they would have known and heard:

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

**** When Reading the Bible there are countless cross-references to other Scriptures that are clear from the text that you are reading like the above passage.

**** It is Essential to read the Bible Completely, Continually to be able to understand it for yourself.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. 31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. 34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. 35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. 36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41 I receive not honour from men. 42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Salvation is Not Hard, or Difficult to Understand when You Believe the Bible, read it for Yourself. Salvation is Not by Works. We cannot Work our Way to Heaven. Salvation in and of itself is Not a Process.

Salvation Does Require Knowledge of the Scriptures: Again “…it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.”

Jesus Preached for 3 ½ years and he performed Many Miracles to Prove that he was indeed God the Promised Messiah.

1^st Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Belief In / On Jesus Requires You to Believe in the Biblical Jesus. People are Believing In / On a False Jesus.

Please Beware of Blindly Believing People who Just Say Believe On Jesus. Believe In Jesus. That Message Does Nothing at All to Define Jesus. What Jesus are they telling You About???

If it is Just Left open ended without Definition that is Not a Salvation Message.

Jesus warned against False Prophets, False Anti-Christ’s. About False Christ’s.

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Mark 12:38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, 39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: 40 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. 33 I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. 34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

To Be Saved You Must Believe In / On the Biblical Jesus. The Jesus in John Chapter 10:

John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. 19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? 21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? 22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

Salvation is Easy when You Understand who Jesus is Biblically in the Bible. The Jesus of the Bible. Not the made up False Jesus’s from False Churches, False Religions.

Jesus is God in the Flesh, Born of the Virgin Mary who Gives Eternal Life to Everyone who Believes In / On him Only For Salvation.

Beware of False Teachers that Teach it is Works to Ask Jesus to Save You. That if You Pray and Ask Jesus to Save You that it is a False Salvation.

They will Falsely Tell You that the Thief on the Cross who Asked Jesus to Save Him was Given a Special Unique Salvation that Does Not Apply to You.

The Bible Says that there is Only One Gospel, Only One Way to Be Saved For Everyone:

Galatians 6:1 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Beware of Anyone, Any Church that Teaches more than One Way to Be Saved in the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation there has Always Only Been One Way to Be Saved.

Belief In The ENTIRE Gospel, On / In Jesus is The Only Bible Way to Be Saved.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Asking to Be Saved is Biblical:

Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

The Thief on the Cross Asked to Be Saved and it was Clear he knew who Jesus was. Jesus Immediately Answered him: “To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

Salvation Happens Immediately when you have Asked Jesus to Save You, Because You have Believed In / On him.

You Do Not have to Ever Doubt Your Salvation.

A Quick Review:

To Be Saved You have to Believe On / In the Biblical Jesus. Understand that Jesus is God. Born of the Virgin Mary. (Mary is Not a Virgin Now she was a Virgin when Jesus was Born. The Bible Clearly Tells us Jesus had Brothers and Sisters.)

Jesus Died, was Buried, and Rose from the Dead to Give us Eternal Life. Jesus Died for All of the Sins of the World. The Word of God is the Final Authority, not man, and Tells us the Truth Concerning Jesus and Salvation. Salvation is 100% Jesus. You cannot do Anything to Add to Jesus Sacrifice for Salvation. Salvation is Jesus Only Plus Nothing Else.

You are Not Saved if You Deny that Salvation is Eternal Life.

Asking to Be Saved is Biblical.

We Are Saved by the Bible, by the Preaching of the Word of God.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Why Did Jesus Say: “…unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan…” Matthew 16:23

Jesus Told Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan because Satan was trying to use Peter to Hinder Jesus, to Stop Jesus…

It is Essential to Understand a Person is Either Benefiting Jesus or they are Benefiting Satan. A Christian, anyone, is Either Promoting Jesus or Satan. There is Nothing in between.

Every Christian should automatically realize this when they are told this. If You do not understand this Truth and or do not want to hear this, I question your Salvation if you claim to be a Christian.

If You are a Christian and are not Actively Involved in the Christian Ministry than You are Being Used by Satan.

Jesus Hates Lukewarm Christians.

Lukewarm Christians are the People who Just Occupy the Pews and Shout the Loudest in the Church.

When it comes time to Go Out and Do the Work of the Ministry of the Church they Seldom do it. They will Go to Potluck Dinners, Picnics, Non Evangelist Activities. You will not normally see them working in the Homeless Ministry, the Nursing Home ministry, anything challenging.

Lukewarm Christians Get in the way of the Core Missions of the Christian Church.

Which are: Evangelism, Caring for the weak, helping Widows / caring for children (Orphans), the elderly, etc… I know First hand that these Church Ministries are always begging for Help in Christian Churches.

Church Goers / Pew Sitters: want the most Visible Jobs in the Church.

The Jobs they want are: Sunday School Teacher, Youth Leader, Group Leader, etc… They want to be a Leader in the Church without having ever done the Core Work of the Church. The Bible is Clear on This:

Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Satan Uses People within the Church to Destroy the Church

Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

27 Neither give place to the devil.

28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Neither Give Place To The Devil!!!! This is What Jesus was Saying to Peter When He Said: “Get thee behind me, Satan…”

Ephesians Chapter 4 is Reinforcing what Jesus said to Peter “Get thee behind me Satan…”

A Christian Is Either Promoting Jesus, Doing the Work of the Christian Church, or they are Doing the Work of Satan.

Satan wants to Stop Christians from Serving Jesus and Doing the Work of the Church which is their Responsibility as a Christian.

Satan Stirs Up Anger and Strife in the Christian Church causing this Conflict to Stop the Church from Doing the Ministries they are supposed to Do, Need to Do.

“Neither Give Place To The Devil.” “Get thee behind me, Satan…”

These Words: “Neither Give Place To The Devil.” “Get thee behind me, Satan…” they apply to Every Christian. At One time or another. More often than we are willing to Admit these Words Apply to us.

Peter was a Great Man of God. He went momentarily astray and Jesus Immediately Came Down on Him Hard Like a Sledgehammer: “Get thee behind me, Satan…” Jesus was Not Going to Allow this!

There is Not a Christian Alive today that can match up to the Apostle Peter, so Do Not think that you are Not Ever Used by Satan.

The Bible is Full of examples of His People Being Used by Satan:

1^st Corinthians 10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

****NOTE**** Self-Righteous “Christians” (Typically Lost People within the Church.) will use Verse 13 to Attack Christians who have a habitual sin that they know about.

Verse 13 was Not written for Christians to use to Attack other Christians for their Sins. The entire context of the passage Refutes that use. Verse 12 Refutes that use of Verse 13.

Verse 13 is given because it is True and it encourages Christians to Fight. To Fight against the Temptations that come their way, including Habitual Temptations.

Read Romans Chapter 7. The Apostle Paul had a habitual Sin that he was unable to Stop. As a Christian he said:

Romans 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

1^st Corinthians 10:13 IS NOT TO BE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT AND USED TO BEAT DOWN CHRISTIANS STRUGGLING WITH SIN.

Again, typically Counterfeit Christians in Churches take this verse and use it against people to PUFF THEMSELVES UP, to attack people within the Church. “I am Better than you are. You are Weak and Pathetic.”

1^st Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

This Message is a Wake-Up Call to Christians to Not Be Lazy Lukewarm Christians. There are Infinite ways Satan uses Christians.

When Christians Get Angry, Wrongfully, (There is a Correct Time to Be Angry. Jesus and Paul in the Bible Showed their Anger, their Righteous Indignation. Jesus Used a whip, and overturned tables in the Temple for Example. Paul Fought against False Doctrine and was Very Angry doing it. He Split with Barnabas and was Very Angry while doing this… So Being Angry in Defense of the Gospel is Biblical. There is a Time to be Angry.) they are being Used by Satan.

The Christian Ministry includes Everyone that is Saved.

A Christian Church Only Works as Jesus wants it to when Every Member is Actively A Doer, A Person Working within the Church.

Ephesians 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Doers is an Active Word. If YOU ARE NOT ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN CHRISTIAN EVANGELISM, IN THE WORK OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH THAN YOU ARE BEING USED BY SATAN!!!!

In the Gospel’s Jesus is Repeatedly Focusing on Doing. Actively Working in the Ministry. His Number #1 Focus is Evangelism, Soul Winning:

John 4:31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

In the above passage Jesus makes it Clear that Soul Winning is the Job of the Entire Church.

One Person will Sow Seeds, Spread the Gospel. Another Person will Follow up and Lead that Soul to Heaven by their own Evangelism. Jesus is Saying that you cannot expect a Person will be Saved the First time that they hear the Gospel Message. It might take more than one person to Save that Lost Soul.

So, Christians Need to Actively Work at Soul Winning even if they themselves Never see any Fruit. Jesus is Saying once you are in Heaven You will See the Fruit of all of Your Efforts, in Evangelism.

The Picture Jesus Paints is that some people will see a lot of Fruit, a lot of people Saved on Earth. While others might not see anyone Saved while on the Earth. Both the Person who Sowed the seed First and the Person who saw the Fruit Spring Forth as a Saved Soul they are Both credited for Winning that Soul to Jesus Christ.

Soul Winning is a Group Effort according to Jesus. It is the Responsibility of the Entire Church.

James Chapter 1 is what Jesus is Talking about when he said “GET BEHIND ME SATAN…” Peter was Interfering in Jesus Ministry. He was Telling Jesus NO!!!!

You can easily identify False Counterfeit “Christian” Churches by how they Reject Jesus’s Words. How they say “Jesus was Speaking to the Jews Only.”

Yes Churches say this. In Fact 90% probably more than this of Baptist Churches say this.

****NOTE BEWARE**** They Say (IFB Baptists, Many Other Counterfeit Christian Churches.) Paul was sent to Reveal Christianity. They Falsely Claim that Christianity was NOT KNOWN UNTIL PAUL DEFINED IT, EXPLAINED IT. ACCORDING TO THEIR FALSE DOCTRINE, JESUS NEVER TOLD THE TRUE GOSPEL FOR THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. THEIR FALSE DOCTRINE TEACHES MULTIPLE TRUE GOSPEL’S. THIS FALSE DOCTRINE COMES FROM THEIR INVENTION OF DISPENSATIONAL TRUTH.

The False Dispensationalism Doctrine:

False Churches that Teach Dispensationalism Divide the Bible into 7 or more Dispensations. “Dispensationalism / Dispensational Truth Theology” These False Churches, Counterfeit Christianity are: Many Baptists Churches, 99% of IFB Baptists, Calvinist Churches, etc…

If you are Not Familiar with this concept, False Doctrine / Teaching of theirs, and others this is how they explain it:

“The New Testament doesn’t begin until Pentecost in the Book of Acts when Saved people received the Holy Ghost.”

So they “Rightly Divide the Truth” and Falsely say that the Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Hebrews and other Books in the New Testament are Old Testament Books that CANNOT be used to Teach New Testament Salvation.

They use the Unbiblical “Dispensational Truth Theology” to Falsely claim that the Bible teaches more than 12 True plans of Salvation. The number Varies from Church to Church. I have seen in Print Between 7 and 18 different Plans of Salvation that these Counterfeit Christians of one type or another say are True Gospel plans of Salvation. This All Comes under the Umbrella of Dispensationalism.

They are Extremely Wicked SATANIC. They Claim Jesus NEVER TAUGHT Salvation for the “Christian Church.” According to them Jesus Salvation Message was Old Testament Preaching to the Jews ONLY.

Again Dispensationalist Teach New Testament Salvation came through the Apostle Paul NOT JESUS.

So, According to Dispensational Theology / Dispensational Truth Jesus, Peter, and Paul, All taught a Different way to be Saved.

These are Traditional Baptist Churches, IFB Baptist Churches, Calvinists Churches, plus others…

“Bible Believers” this term is a Joke.

Beware of the Following Churches: ALL Churches that have Bible Believer’s in their title, IFB Churches, ALL KJV ONLY Churches, Any Church that Puts Bible in their Title. For Example: Cornerstone AV1611 KJV ONLY Bible Baptist Church.

Note on a rare occasion some of these Churches teach the Truth, but it is like One out of One Thousand (1 in a 1,000).

They are Like a Child who Broke the Cookie Jar. “Mommy I don’t know how it Broke. It just fell…” While they have Chocolate all over their face, on their Clothing, on their hands.

We are supposed to Believe them because we Love them, they are our own Children, after all.

Churches Behave like Children in that they Expect to Be Believed ONLY Because they Say it.

You Must Trust and Believe us Because We are The Church.

“This is the Highly Respected: IFB KJV ONLY AV1611 River Road Baptist Church of Tuna, Alabama. Because we Have IFB KJV ONLY AV1611 in our Title then You must Believe it when we say we Believe and Teach the Bible Only here.”

As You Might Expect they are Extremely Arrogant and High and Mighty in Every Way.

I Have Learned Not to Go to a IFB KJV ONLY Church, to any of the Churches I mentioned Above, without closely reading their Website. If they do not have a website there is no chance I will go to their Church. I will watch a few of their online Sermons if their Website doesn’t have any obvious red flags. If the Sermons are Biblical then I would give them a try in person.

Bible Believing Church, KJV ONLY, AV161 in the Title of a Church is a Huge Red Flag.

“Bible Believing / Bible Believer” in itself is a HUGE BAD JOKE

It is a Bad Joke Because If It Is True You Do Not Have to Proclaim It So Loudly In The Title of Your Church.

I know what to Always Expect when Walking into these Churches. Maybe once or Twice I was Surprised in a Good Way.

For the most part these Churches are Clones of Each Other. They are So Fake. So Rude and Arrogant.

They are the Most Ignorant People in how they Behave and their Bible Knowledge.

(IFB KJV ONLY) Independent Fundamentalist Baptists Churches (99%) don’t Teach the Bible. The Bible is Not their Final Authority.

They use Books written by people like Clarence Larkin and others as their Bibles. This is True because Dispensationalism / Calvinism is their Bible.

Dispensationalism / Calvinism is where their Plans of Salvation Comes From. Not the Bible.

They Strictly Follow the Writings of John Calvin / Dispensationalist over the Bible. They are Calvinists, though many Deny it. You can see Calvinists Theology in their List of Beliefs. You will hear their Pastor’s / Preaching and Quoting Other Calvinists.

They Teach and Preach what Dispensationalists and Calvinists Teach ABOVE the Bible. Their Content includes Other Non-Biblical Sources. They Deny what the Bible Says. They Do Not Care that what they Teach Contradicts the Bible:

“You Just Have Not Learned How to Rightly Divide the Bible. If you would Just Read All of these Books then you would understand.”

They Twist the Bible to Fit what their False Teachers Teach.

Dispensationalist Churches are No Different than any other Cult. They are Not Bible Believers. They are Bible Twisters.

Dispensationalism is the Biggest Lie Sending Millions of Baptists (Plus others) to Hell.

They are Nearly All Calvinists. They Follow Men / Women Not the Bible like All Cults.

Dr. Peter S. Ruckman said that he could count 7 Different Plans of Salvation in the Book of Acts alone and 14 or more in the Bible. He did not care about the exact number of Dispensations he was sure that the Bible Taught at least 10 Different Gospels….

The Bible makes it Crystal Clear that there is Only One Gospel.

There is Only One Way to Heaven for All of mankind in the Entire Bible. From Adam to the Last Person Saved there is Only One Path to Heaven.

Jesus’ Death, Burial, and Resurrection Gives Eternal Salvation / Eternal Life to all who Trust in him, the Gospel Only to Save them from Hell, whether they lived before or after him.

In both the Old and the New Testament everyone is Saved By Grace, through Faith in Jesus Only. Belief In Jesus’ Death, Burial and Resurrection, the Gospel. This is what the Bible Clearly Teaches.

The Law was given to Show all Mankind that no one could keep the Law. The Law showed us that we were Sinners in need of a Savior.

Believers in the Old Testament were not Saved by being obedient to the law of God. The Bible clearly teaches this:

Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

We are not Good enough to earn Heaven. That is True for us Now, and it was also True for Believers in the Old Testament.

Old Testament Believers were Not Saved by animal sacrifices:

Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

The Old Testament sacrifices pointed towards the One Sacrifice that Jesus would make on the cross to bring Eternal Salvation.

Galatians 1:3-9

[3]Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

[4]Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

[5]To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

[6]I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

[7]Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

[8]But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

[9]As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

The Gospel:

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Dispensationalist’s Deny the Plain Truth of the Bible. Paul is the God of Dispensationalist’s, Not Jesus. Like Catholics that Worship Mary Dispensationalist’s Worship the Apostle Paul.

You will constantly hear this from Dispensationalist’s:

“Do Not Go to what Jesus said in the Bible for Salvation, Jesus Message was for Old Testament Jews Only.” This is Mainstream Baptist Dispensationalist’s False Doctrine.

This is Not Just a Baptist Theology, it is a False Theology that All Cults Believe. The Cults Deny that Jesus is the Savior. Cults Churches are more than 90% of Every Church that exists today.

BEWARE OF: Pauline Churches. A Pauline Church Focus is on Paul, NOT ON JESUS. I am not saying that they do not mention Jesus. They will Mention Jesus a lot but they Falsely Claim that Jesus’s Ministry was Only to the Jews.

The Entire Passage below is a Sermon against Being a Cold, or a Lukewarm Christian. The Word Christian Means Christlike.

James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 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: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 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. 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

The Core Work of the Christian Church is to be Out in the Community Being an Evangelist. Bringing people into the Church:

Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

A Christian Must be Active Daily in the Christian Ministry.

Pastor’s, People who have an Official Position in the Local Church are Not the Only People who are in the Christian Ministry. Matthew Chapter 16 make this Very Clear. If You are Saved, a Christian, then You must, at the Very Minimum, be part of the Evangelism Ministry. Sharing the Gospel with people.

If You Don’t care enough about the people you see everyday to Witness to them, to Share the Gospel with them then how can you call yourself a Christian?

Just saying “I am a Christian,” on Social Media, while you are in your Favorite hiding place, is a meaningless gesture. That is Not Sharing anything. The word Christian is the most misused word in History. The Secular World Only knows Counterfeit Christianity. Counterfeit Christianity is as Fake as a Pink Dollar Bill.

A Christian will verbally share the Gospel with their Immediate Community. With their Neighborhood, and with as many people as possible in their Daily Life. This is the Very least you can do to be part of the Christian Ministry.

Online Evangelism is Good to Do But what I see Online is Not Christian Evangelism.

90 Percent or More of Online “Christian” Evangelism is Meme’s, or a Single Bible Verse that will Not Save a Person reading it. The Bible Versions used are Not Bibles.

I Only Use the KJV Bible but I don’t Proclaim it as if that makes what I am Saying Automatically True. Having the Right Bible Means Nothing if the person using the KJV Bible is Teaching a False Gospel and Twisting the Scriptures.

There is a Reason that Hundreds of New Bible Versions Came out After the KJV Bible was published. The Reason is Satan is a Liar, and the Author of Confusion. His Bibles are From Corrupt Manuscripts. Common Sense will Tell You there is No Need for All the New Bible Versions Other then to Cause Confusion and to Teach Lies.

If you want to do Real Christian Evangelism online you have to Actually Share the Gospel. Finding “Christian” Meme’s and Non Salvation Bible Verses Online to post, Especially if you are using a Corrupt Bible is Not Christian Evangelism.

The Apostle Peter:

The Apostle Peter is the Most Misunderstood, Most Slandered Person in the Bible… 99% of what has been written about him is Wrong.

Peter was Married with his own Family. He was one of the oldest of the 12 Disciples Jesus called. Jesus was 30 years old when he started his Public Ministry. His Disciples were all at least 30 years old and older.

Jesus had to wait until he was 30 years old to begin his Public Ministry because at 30 years old Jesus was old enough to be a Respected Rabbi / Teacher. The masses Never would have Respected and followed Jesus at a Younger age. All of Jesus’s 12 Disciples had to have the same level of Respect to take part in his Ministry, they were all sent out on Missionary Journey’s separate from Jesus.

Jesus calls Peter Satan:

Matthew 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

The Entire passage:

Matthew 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. 5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. 21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

This Message is a Caution to All Christians that Satan will use Every Opportunity to Corrupt You and to Have You Working for him instead of Jesus.

How to Be Saved:

Believe the Gospel Only for your Salvation:

Yes, I Said You Are Wrong! You Are A Liar! It Is Always Right To Expose Lies, Liars!

I Am a Christian Evangelist. I Say: YOU ARE A LIAR, to Liars. I Daily Expose Lies, Liars. I Expose False Churches. False Pastors, Evangelist, Teachers. People who Are Wrong, People who Lie. It is One thing to be Wrong. It is Another to Know You are Wrong, that Makes You a Liar.

The Audience, the Masses, the Crowd they Support People who are Wrong who are Full of Lies, who are Liars. People Hate to Be Called a Liar. They support them because they tell Lies and are Liars too. Birds of a Feather do stick together. You can see this Daily in Life, online. People Love to Attack Me for Telling Someone that they are Wrong and or for Telling the Truth that they are Telling Lies, that they are a Liar. Jesus’s Whole Ministry was about Telling the Truth Calling a Liar, a Liar. Jesus Daily Exposed Lies, Liars.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

1st John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

1st John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Psalms 25:5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Psalms 25:8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

Jesus is The Way the Truth and the Life.

Even Jesus’s Enemies Admitted Jesus was Honest, he told the Truth. Jesus Spent a Major Part of his Time Face to Face Calling Out Liars. He Always Called Out the Pharisees and the Sadducee’s for their Lies:

Matthew 22:15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. 17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21 They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. 22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. 23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

****NOTE**** It is Essential, it is Important to Understand Exactly what Jesus Said and Did. Right Here Jesus Is Exposing the Sadducees for Being WRONG!!! JESUS DID NOT JUST ALLOW THEM TO GET AWAY WITH BEING WRONG!!! Jesus Always Exposed People who were Liars, who were Telling Lies!!!

I Get So Sick to my stomach at Lies, Liars, Phony Fake “Christians” Counterfeit Christians who are Actually the Modern Day Pharisees and Sadducees, that Constantly Act Holy, Pious, and Wrongly call me Out for Exposing their Lies, or the Lies of Others. Yes, I Expose them when they are Wrong. I in fact give them the Benefit of the Doubt that they are Just Wrong. I Only Call them Liars when it is Clear that they Don’t Care about the Lies they are Spreading. They Don’t Care About the Truth. They Just Put out Stuff that they Haven’t even Researched themselves and Don’t care Enough to Learn the Truth by Reading the Information I have given to them in an attachment to Read.

People are LIARS when they Refuse to even Look at the Truth.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. 34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

The Pharisees and the Sadducees they were Always Lying and Trying to Trick Jesus. They wanted to catch Jesus being Wrong.

Jesus Always Told the Truth. He used the Truth to Expose the Lies of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. He knew what they were up to. That they were Liars. He Always Called Them Out for being Liars he Exposed Their Lies to Their Faces:

John 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

****NOTE**** Lost People Do Not Understand the Bible, God’s Words because their Father is the Satan, The Devil. As Long as a Lost Person is NOT HONESTLY SEEKING to Know the Truth, God will NOT Reveal the Truth to them.

2nd Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Everyone that is Seeking the Truth God will Show them the Truth.

Anyone that Honestly Wants to Know the Truth, How to Be Saved God Will Show them the Truth:

Psalms 145:18The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

Please Ask Jesus to Save You. If You have Not Yet Asked him to Save You.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. 52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? 54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: 55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

The Pharisees and the Sadducees were Filled with Hate, with Satan. They Hated Jesus because he Told the Truth and he Exposed Their Lies. He Called them Out for Being Liars. They Wanted to Murder Jesus…

Today’s Modern False Counterfeit Christians / Churches Hate the Truth too.

Because the Truth Exposes their Satanic Lies. Proves that they are Liars. This is Why True Christians are so Hated:

John 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. 23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

“Christians” Counterfeit Christians Continuously Hatefully Attack Me.

A common thing they say: “What Makes You Right and me Wrong!”

I reply: Romans 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

“The Bible is Right. I am Quoting the Bible. Your Problem is with Jesus, the Bible. I am Not telling You, my Opinion. I am Quoting what the Bible Says.”

More things Angry Counterfeit Christians say to me: “I Am Wrong!!! What Makes You God that You can Tell me I am Wrong!!!”

My Reply: “Your Hate is Pouring through You. Nothing You have said is True. Nothing You have said is in the Bible. You are Just Repeating things you have heard that are Not True. That are Not in the Bible. Show me in the Bible Proof of what you are Saying…”

The Most I ever get are Bible Verses that are Used Incorrectly, Twisted, taken out of Context.

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/15/2nd-chronicles-714-explained/

Like 2nd Chronicles 7:14 as a Salvation passage. 2nd Chronicles 7:14 is Not a Salvation passage it is Talking about a Specific Covenant Between God and The Nation of Israel.

2nd Chronicles 7:14 Doesn’t use the Words Repent or Repentance. But Counterfeit Christians / Churches put those words into it. They use it to Teach the False Teaching, the False Gospel Repent of Sin to be Saved. Repent of Sin is Not in the Bible. So, to Falsely put Repent of Sin in the Bible, False Teachers Twist the Scriptures, they Add words to Verses that are Not in them.

As an Evangelist, I cannot just Ignore it when People are Liars Spreading Lies. Or are Just Wrong.

Yes, if someone is a Liar, telling Lies, are Wrong it is Essential to Point out that they are Wrong. It is Right to call out Lies, Liars, People who are Wrong. You are Not doing People any Favors by Letting them say things that are Wrong. Tell them they are Wrong, Correct them and if they Admit the Truth they will Correct their Errors.

Jesus Did Not Let it pass when People Told Lies, were Liars, Were WRONG:

Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: 23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! 24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Since the Beginning LIARS, HAVE TWISTED THE SCRIPTURES to Justify their Sins. They ATTACK EVERYONE WHO EXPOSES THEIR LIES.

All Christians have an Obligation to Expose LIES, LIARS:

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Proverbs 19:8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good. 9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

All Christians Need to Read and Study the Bible so that they will Know the Truth.

False Teachers are Everywhere Spreading Lies. Christians Must Know the Truth so they can Expose these False Teachers and Call Out All of their Lies:

2nd Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

****NOTE**** Hymenaeus and Philetus They told Lies. THEY WERE WRONG!!!! WRONG, concerning Bible Doctrine: The Resurrection from the Dead. They were False Teachers that Told Lies within the Church. They were Physically Destroyed because of their False Teachings. Telling Lies will Physically Harm You. To tell Lies Daily this will Damage your Health. Stress is a Serious Harmful Health Issue. When People Tell Lies it is Stressful. Criminals who spent Years Repeating the same Lies when they Finally Told the Truth it was a Big Relief to them. I have seen Numerous Police Officers Say in interviews that They could see the Stress Relief That Immediately happened to People who Finally Admitted the Truth. The Lies they kept telling were a Huge Burden on them. To Finally Confess what they had Done was a Real Relief to them. Knowing that they did not have to keep saying the same Lies over and over again made them sigh with Relief.

Experienced Law Enforcement Officers say that Most Crime Suspects They Interview they can see their internal struggle with the Truth on their faces. A Big Part of them wants to just Tell the Truth and to Confess. Sometimes Just saying: “I can see you are Struggling with Something Right Now. Listen Telling the Truth is Easy Once you get Started. Here is a Pin and Paper maybe if we Leave the Room, you could Just write out the Truth.” This Approach Works a lot.

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

****NOTE**** Repent / Repentance means to Change Your Mind. Verse 25 is Clearly saying that Hymenaeus and Philetus Need to have Repentance, to Acknowledge the Truth… This is Clearly saying that Repentance is to Change your mind. Hymenaeus and Philetus needed to Repent, change their minds concerning their False Teachings on The Resurrection. Sin is Not Mentioned. Repent of Sin is Not in the Bible. Hymenaeus and Philetus were Not Told to Repent of Sin!!!

26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. 19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. 20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

I Do Not Argue with People. I Do Call a Liar a Liar. I Expose Lies. I Do Not Let People Get away with their Lies when they are talking to me. I Tell the Truth. You can Tell the Truth without Arguing. I Do Not Try to fit a Square Block through a Round Hole.

If People Will Not Accept the Truth, there is Nothing We can Do to Change that.

But We Must Expose Them As LIARS, FALSE TEACHERS TO EVERYONE ELSE SO THEY WILL NOT BE DECEIVED BY THEM.

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. 10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. 11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: 12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: 13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: 14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: 15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: 16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. 17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. 18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. 19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. 20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Be Sure to Read and Study Your Bible so You will Know the Truth and will Not be Deceived by Lies, by Liars, by False Teachers:

2nd Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

What Is Sin?

2^nd Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Sadly,Most People Have No Clue what Sin is. Many people call Sin, a Mistake. They minimize Sin.

“Christians” Falsely Claim that there is a Difference between Sin, and Intentionally Sinning. “I Never Commit Intentional Sins…”

This “Christian” saying “I Never Commit Intentional Sins.” is No Better than anyone who says I make mistakes, I don’t Sin.

The Bible Definition of Sin:

1^st John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

1^st John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Simply put Sin is: Sin is the Transgression of the Law.

Simply put Sin is: All Unrighteousness.

Even Knowing these two verses Most People are Still Very Confused about what Sin is.

The Facts about Sin Everyone Needs to Know is:

We All Sin. We are All Sinners, that Deserve to Go to Hell.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

The Entire Passage:

Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

Jesus Died For All of Our Sins. Jesus Died for All of the Sins of the Entire World. No one goes to Hell for Sin.

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

1^st Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

People Only Go to Hell because they have Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Salvation is Simply Believing on Jesus Only to Save You. To Believe the Gospel Only to Save You.

1^st John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

“He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”

Salvation = Belief in Jesus Only to Save You. If you have Never Asked Jesus to Save you than you are Lost and on your Way to Hell.

The entire passage:

1^st John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Salvation is Eternal, Never Ending Life.

Myths about Sin:

Myth, Christians Don’t Sin.

1^st John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Ecclesiastes 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

Job 15:14 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? 15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. 16 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?

Myth, My Good Works, Deeds, the Good things I do in my Life will be compared to My Bad Behavior by Jesus. Myth, Everyone who has more Good Works than Bad Works Will Go to Heaven.

This Lie is taught by the World. Most Churches teach a version of this. This is one Reason Santa Claus is so Bad. Santa Claus gives Rewards / Gifts to the Good Children. The Bad Children get only a lump of Coal.

This Lie, Myth is a form of Works Salvation.

Salvation Is Through Jesus Only.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

1^st Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Myth, we have to Obey the Law to be Saved.

Romans 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 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. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Myth, Repent of Sin, is in the Bible.

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/?p=208

The Big Lie is that Repent means to Repent of Sin. Repent is Never connected with Sin in the Bible. God Repents in the Bible more than anyone else. God Does Not Sin. Every time God Repents in the Bible he changes his mind. Repent = a Change of Mind.

In Salvation Repent = Change your mind from Unbelief in Jesus to Belief in Jesus, the Gospel Only to Save you.

Repent of Sin, is also called: To Turn From Sin to be Saved, To be willing to Turn from Sin to be Saved, To Forsake Sin to be Saved, To Give Your Life to Jesus to Be Saved, To Make Jesus the Lord of your Life, To Have a Relationship with Jesus, etc…

Repent of Sin is expressed by False Teachers, False Churches in many different ways… They Falsely Say that Repent of Sin is Not Works.

Repent of Sin is Not in the Bible. Repent of Sin is a False Gospel that means you have to Keep the Law to be Saved.

James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

Jesus Never said in the Bible to Repent of Sin to Be Saved. Neither does anyone Else.

Bible Salvation:

https://www.bitchute.com/video/KdWKXIEfGUN5/

Notice Neither Paul nor Silas told the Jailer that he had to Repent of Sin to be Saved. Also, the Jailer and his Family were Baptized in water after they were Saved. After they had Believed on Jesus Only to Save them.

Myth, Sin is OK, Christians are Free to Sin as much as they want to because Jesus Died for All of their Sins. This is a Lie, it is what is called a Half Truth, which is a Lie.

Jesus Died for All Sin. Sin does Not send a person to Hell.

Just Because you will Not Go to Hell for Sinning doesn’t mean that you get a Free Pass to Commit Sin as a Christian.

You can Lose other things other than Eternal Life by Sinning. Christians who Sin often Die early because of their Sins.

A Sinful Lifestyle is Dangerous.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Sin causes Death. Not just Eternal Death in Hell, but Physical Death also.

One extremely obvious truth is people who Live the most Sinful Lives typically Die young / younger than everyone else.

High Risk Sinful Activities: Smoking, Drinking, Doing Drugs, many Sexual Relationships, being a Criminal, etc…

Also,Christian who is very Sinful will Lose Eternal Rewards.

1st Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

1st Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

No Christian wants to meet Jesus after a Life Spent wasted in Sin. Jesus will Not Send anyone who has Believed on him to Hell. That doesn’t mean he will be Happy with Lazy Christians who did Not live a Christian Life.

Good Works Will Not Save a Person from Hell. Good Works will Not Save anyone. But Good Works are necessary for a Christian to Live a Biblical Christian Life.

Is Halloween Just Harmless Fun?

The Pagan Origin of Halloween

The name “Halloween” comes from the Roman Catholic Church celebration of All Saints Day. A day set aside for the Remembrance of the Martyrs, Catholic Heroes.

All Hallows Eve, the evening before All Saints Day, begins this time of Remembrance. “All Hallows Eve” was eventually contracted to “Hallow-e’en,” which became “Halloween.”

All Saints Day is the Catholic Church Celebration of the Dead. Yes. The Catholic Church Prays to the Dead, Lights Candles to the Dead, in truth Worships Dead “Saints” daily. All Saints’ Day begins the observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to Remembering the Dead saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful Departed.

As Catholicism moved throughout Europe it melded with the local Pagan Cultures their Occult Satan Worship. Their Satanic Pagan Holidays and Festivals became part of the Catholic Church. This is how the Catholic Church grew so Fast. By including the long established Worship of Ancient Pagan God’s to Catholicism countless Millions were added to the Roman Catholic Church.

The Ancient Satanic Pagan Rituals became a mix of their Gods / Rituals combined with Catholic Symbolism and Worship practices. You can see All of the old Roman God’s in the Catholic Church today.

Pagan Gods And Goddesses That Became Catholic Saints – Coming In The Clouds

Who Is The Roman Catholic Church Really Worshiping? – Roman Catholic Beliefs

All Saints Eve — The Origin of Halloween.

The Celtic people of Europe and Britain were Pagan Druids their major celebrations were marked by the seasons. At the end of the year in northern Europe, they made preparations to ensure winter survival. They harvested the crops and slaughtered animals for food. Life slowed down as winter brought darkness (shortened days and longer nights), fallow ground, and death.

The Druids used the imagery of Death, symbolized by Skeletons, Skulls, and the color Black in their Worship. Catholic Priests and Nuns wear Black Robes, this is because of their Druid Roots.

Today’s Halloween celebration is much like the Druids celebration of the Dead.

The Pagan Samhain festival (pronounced “sow” “en”) celebrated the Final Harvest, Death, and the onset of winter, for three days—October 31 to November 2. The Celts believed the curtain dividing the Living and the Dead lifted during Samhain to allow the Spirits of the Dead to walk among the Living. Ghosts Haunting the earth.

They embraced the season of Haunting by engaging in Occult practices such as Divination the communication with the Dead. They sought “Divine” Spirits (Demons) and the Spirits of their ancestors regarding weather forecasts for the coming year, crop expectations, and even romantic prospects. Bobbing for apples was one practice the pagans used to divine the spiritual world’s “blessings” on a couple’s romance.

The focus on Death, Occultism, Divination, and the belief that Spirits returned from the Dead to Haunt the Living, fueled their Satanism. They believed Spirits were earthbound until they received a proper sendoff with treats: possessions, wealth, food, and drink. Spirits who were not suitably “Treated” would “Trick” those who had neglected them. The Fear of Haunting only multiplied if that Spirit had been offended during its natural lifetime.

Trick-bent Spirits were believed to assume grotesque appearances. Some traditions developed, which believed wearing a costume to look like a Spirit would fool the wandering Spirits. Others believed the Spirits could be warded off by carving a grotesque face into a gourd or root vegetable (the Scottish used turnips) and setting a candle inside it—the jack-o-lantern.

This Dark, Satanic, Superstitious, Pagan Worship and Rituals are very much Alive and Thriving Today. The Behavior, of people today is the exact same, even worse than the Pagans of the ancient times. Modern Worshippers in Catholic, Protestant, Baptist and other Churches Celebrate Halloween. Calling it a Harvest Festival changes Nothing.

Halloween is Clearly Pagan.

If you are a Christian and you call Halloween Christian (Yes countless “Christians” keep telling me the origin of Halloween is Christian. No the origin of Halloween is Pagan, Satanic.) if you say there is No Harm in it you need to read all the following Bible verses:

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

2nd Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

When you teach your children that Halloween is Not Evil you are Lying to them. You are training them to Celebrate Satanism, to Worship Satan.

Deuteronomy 18:9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

Over and Over Again God Tells us Not to Be Like the World. God Warns us Not to Worship Other Gods. He Warns us About Satan.

Ephesians 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

1^st Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

1^st Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Leviticus 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.

1^st Chronicles 10:13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;

1^st John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Leviticus 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

Christians are Supposed to Glorify God in Everything they Do.

1st Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Does Halloween Glorify God? No it Glorifies Satan.

1st Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”

Why do “Christians” so strongly defend the Celebration of Halloween?

There are a lot of reasons. The #1 reason is Money $$$. Yes Churches depend on Church members to give them money.

Churches are so commercial they compromise their Church to appeal to as many people as possible.

Halloween is and has been for decades the most celebrated Holiday on the Earth.

If you call yourself a Bible Believer than you should Do Nothing that does not Glorify God. You should Fight against Evil, Not give into Satan.

Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Celebrating Halloween is not serving Jesus, it is serving Satan.

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Do not tell me you are a Christian, a Bible Believer if you are defending the Celebration of Halloween.

If your Church has a Harvest Festival, or any other celebration to give your kids a safe place to celebrate Halloween than you are Celebrating Halloween.

Changing the name of your Halloween celebration is not changing the fact that you are observing and celebrating Halloween.

The things “Christians” say to justify their celebration of Halloween shows they do not care what the Bible says:

“There is nothing wrong with letting kids dress up and get candy in a safe environment at Church, or in a Church supported event.” “It is not right to deprive kids the opportunity to dress up and get candy…”

These so called Bible Believers ignore the Bible.

Christians are not suppose to love the things of this world. To be like the world.

Halloween is not Christian in any way. Halloween celebrates: the Dead, Ghosts, Witches and Witchcraft, Zombies, Evil Spirits…

John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Jesus tells us not to be part of the World: “Keep them from the Evil.”

“Keep them from the Evil.” The celebration of Halloween is Evil and Jesus wants to keep Christians from Evil.

Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Jesus Saved us out of the World. We are not to continue to live our lives like the world after we are Saved. We are suppose to love the things of God and not the things of this world.

1st John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

There is no defense for Celebrating Halloween, if you are actually a Christian.

The Bible 101. Is The Bible God’s Word? How To Read And Study The Bible.

Why I Believe The Bible is 100% God’s Word

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

God’s Word is True. Prophecy Proves this. History Proves Bible Prophecy.

When I read the Bible I feel the Holy Spirit of God in my mind talking to me. When I Study God’s Word The Holy Spirit Opens up the Truth of the Bible to Me.

When God Speaks to me he often puts a Scripture in my Mind. I go to that Scripture read it and more and more Scriptures are given to me to read as I read. The Holy Spirit of God explains the Scriptures to me.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

The Bible Obviously has One Author the Holy Spirit of God

The Bible has 66 Books. These books fit seamlessly together, referring to each other hundreds of times. In the New Testament Old Testament Prophecies are seen Fulfilled.

The Scriptures were written by 40+ men through the Holy Spirit of God.

“God wrote the Bible.”

If you read the Bible you will see: The Word of God, My Word(s), Thy Word (God’s Word.), etc…, repeated over and over and over again, in the Bible.

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

1^st Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes. 13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. 14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. 15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. 17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. 18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word. 108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments. 109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. 111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. 113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. 114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. 115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. 116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. 118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. 119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. 120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. 121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. 122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. 123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. 124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 126 It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law. 127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. 128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

The Holy Spirit Wrote Through Common Men like Gad, Luke and Mark. Through Prophets, Kings, Apostles, etc…

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Revelation 1:1,2 Is a Perfect Example of how God Wrote the Bible. Here John is Given a Special Revelation by Jesus Christ. (Paul was also taught by Jesus Christ After his Resurrection. Paul was Given Special Revelations from Jesus.) Every Word John wrote in the Books of John and Revelation were Given to him by God to Write. This is how every Book of the Bible Was Written.

Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write…, 7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write…, 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write…,

2^nd Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

2^nd Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2^nd Peter 1:21 the entire passage

2^nd Peter 1:12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. 16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

God Wrote every Word of the Bible. The Bible is Infallible. It is the Perfect, Inerrant Word of God.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Psalms 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

2^nd Samuel 22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

The Bible Foretells Specific Events in Great Detail. Many years before they happen. Bible Prophets have successfully made Prophecies hundreds of years before they were Fulfilled.

Over 2,500 Prophecies are written in the Bible. Around 2,000 Prophecies have been Fulfilled according to the majority of people who took the time to Study and research this. The Key Finding is the Bible is Error Free. Of the 2,500 Prophecies found in the Bible there is No Errors in Prophecies Foretold. The Bible is Error Free.

Fulfilled Prophecies

Before 500 BC, the Prophet Daniel Prophesied that Israel’s long-awaited King, The Messiah would begin his public ministry 483 years after a Decree to Restore and Rebuild Jerusalem is made.

Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

DanielProphesied that the Messiah would be “cut off,” Killed. This event would happen before Jerusalem and the Temple would be Destroyed for a 2^nd time. Written History and Archaeology Prove that these Prophecies were Exactly Fulfilled.

The Life, Death by Crucifixion, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ were well written about Historically, not just written about in the Bible. This is further Proof of the Bible Prophecies. The decree regarding the restoration of Jerusalem was issued by Persia’s King Artaxerxes to the Hebrew priest Ezra in 458 BC, 483.

Over 500 Years later the ministry of Jesus Christ began in Galilee. The Start of Jesus’ Public Ministry was in 26 AD. Jesus’ crucifixion happened in 30 AD. Forty years later, in 70 AD Titus Destroyed Jerusalem and the 2^nd Temple.

How to Study the Bible

To Study the Bible First read it a few times 3 or more times. From the Beginning to the End. Always Pray before you read the Bible and Ask the Holy Spirit to Open your Eyes, your Mind to the Truth of God’s Word. Ask the Holy Spirit to Teach you God’s Word.

After you have read the Bible over a few times. Than you can Study the Bible. When I was only 8 years Old I read the Bible end to end 4 or more times in a year. The Bible is Only 1,200 pages depending on what your text size is. People will read a 1,200 page Novel in just 1 week. I know I have many different times, so it doesn’t take forever to read the entire Bible.

How many times you are able to read the entire Bible in a year is up to you. It is possible to read the Bible end to end 52 or more times in one year.

The reason you need to read the Bible end to end Several times before you Study it is because you have to have a Good, Basic understanding of the whole Bible before you Study it.

Do Not be overwhelmed. At first just read the Bible just like you would any Novel. Do Not worry if you think you do Not understand a lot of it. The Bible in Truth is a History Book. The basic Truths of the Bible are written very plainly and are Not hard to understand. Maybe 10% or more of the Bible is difficult to understand without Studying it. But at the first step you will just be reading the Bible.

When you Read the Bible it is Good to make your own Highlights. The more you read the Bible the more you will understand it.

OK How to Study the Bible

Pick a Subject, let’s Say Salvation. Look what the Bible says about Salvation. Since you have already read the Bible Several times you should immediately know how the Ethiopian Eunuch was Saved.

Acts 8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. 32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: 33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

This passage about the Ethiopian Eunuch referred to Isaiah Chapter 53 so you read that entire Chapter. It is about Salvation.

You should know:

Acts 16:27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Above are just a few examples of Salvation Bible Scriptures, what a proper Bible Study on Salvation will entail.

Here is a finished example on a Salvation Bible Study. Study it. You will see how I did my Bible Study. Then you will understand the basics of Bible Study:

When you want to Study the Bible for yourself use the Bible.

The Bible explains itself.

If you want to understand what a Word used in the Bible means, do Not use a Dictionary, even a Bible Dictionary is often Not Good to use.

Get a Bible Concordance. Look up the Word in a Bible Concordance and see how it is used over and over again in the Bible. Soon the meaning will become clear. This type of learning I was taught in Elementary School.

Always use the Bible to define Words, to Explain itself.

Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

A Precept can be a Word. It can be a term like Covenant. So to learn the meaning if you don’t immediately understand the meaning you find this Precept (Word, Term, etc…) throughout the Bible and learn its meaning by seeing what the Bible says about it.

Line upon line means When you want to Understand a Bible Verse you Need to read the Whole Chapter to understand the Context. “Line upon line, line upon line..” This is what it means. Read more than just single verses.

You cannot take one single verse and Teach a Bible Truth with it by itself. That is what False Teachers, Cults do.

The context of Isaiah 28:10

Isaiah 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

Salvation How to Be Saved:

Does Christianity Teach You Can Lose Your Salvation?

Does Your Church Teach You Can Lose Your Salvation?

Do you know if your Church teaches you can Lose your Salvation? The typical Church has a Head Pastor. A Worship / Music Ministry Pastor, A Youth Pastor, various other Pastor’s. Then they have Deacons, Sunday School Teachers and leaders of other Ministries. So these people make up in some Churches up to 10% of the Church. There maybe another 10% very Strong Devout Christians. The other 80% or so are mostly very Ignorant of the Bible, even about their Church.

You may Not think this is True of your Church… The above Numbers are very accurate. I have been in the Christian Ministry for 40 years and No matter what Church I have been at those Numbers remain the same.

I am saying this because I want you to Look into what your Church Believes. It is at least a 90% certainty that your Church teaches you can Lose your Salvation.

LYING To Christians Telling Them They Can Lose Their Salvation Causes Constant FEAR.

Church Denominations and Eternal Security, Eternal Life:

The Catholic Church:

First off the Catholic Church Does Not Teach Eternal Life. They Teach No One can Know that they are Saved. The best you can hope for is to go to Purgatory. From Purgatory you will eventually Go to Hell, nearly everyone, will go to Hell. The rest will go to Heaven after possibly spending thousands of Years in Purgatory. Purgatory is a place that is like Hell. It is full of constant punishment, Penance.

Purgatory is Not Biblical. Neither is The Catholic Church’s teaching on Salvation.

Nearly 100% of “Christians” think that the Catholic Church is Christian. The Catholic Church is Not Christian. The Catholic Church has fought many wars against Christianity. They have slaughtered countless Christians. The Catholic Church Burnt many thousands of Christians to Death.

To Call the Catholic Church Christian is the Most Bizarre, Ignorant thing a person could say.

Calvinist Churches Teach:

You Do NOT have FREEWILL. What Does this mean? It means God chooses who will go to Heaven and who will Go to Hell. Nothing you do matters. Yes, Calvinism teaches before the foundation of the World God decided who would Go to Heaven and who will Go to Hell.

There are 5 points of Calvinism. All 5 Points will send you to Hell.

Christianity 101: Freewill is Essential to Salvation. Why? Because Salvation is a Choice. To Be Saved you have to make a Decision to either Believe on Jesus and Ask Jesus to Save you, or you Reject Jesus.

Which Churches are Calvinist Churches?

Every Reformed Church is Calvinist. There are Reformed Baptist Churches, Reformed Presbyterian Churches, Reformed Methodist Churches, etc… If Reformed is in the Title it is a Calvinist Church.

Also The Southern Baptist are Calvinist as are most Baptist Churches in General. A Calvinist Church will not always have Reformed in the title of the Church.

Freewill Churches:

All Churches that have Freewill in their Title, Freewill Baptist Church for example, teach you can Lose your Salvation.

All Churches that teach you can Lose your Salvation do Not have Freewill in their Title. But many will have Freewill, in the section on what we Believe, on their website.

Freewill Churches have corrupted the Bible definition of Freewill. They say Freewill means you can be Saved than Lose your Salvation because of your Sinful behavior. After All having Freewill means you can live like the Devil. They also Say Freewill means you can Reject Salvation after you have Been Saved. Their teaching on Freewill is Not True, it is Not Biblical.

You can Not Assume that your Church teaches Eternal Security.

What Does Christianity Teach?

Jesus Taught Eternal Life, Eternal Security:

John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one.

John 11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Salvation = Eternal Life in Heaven with Jesus.

John 5:24 and John 6:47 both say: “Hath Everlasting Life.” Do you understand what this means? It means Salvation is Not a Process. Once you have Believed on the Lord Jesus Christ you are Immediately Saved. You Immediately have Eternal Life.

John 11:23-26 Teaches that everyone who has Believed in Jesus shall be Resurrected to Eternal Life with Jesus.

Jesus said Eternal Life = Shall Never Die! Shall Live For Ever!

John 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

“Shall Never Die!!!” Shall Never Die, Shall Live For Ever = Eternal Life. Jesus over and over again teaches Eternal Life.

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Shall NEVER PERISH!!! = Eternal Life!!! “Neither Shall any man Pluck them out of my hand!!! This means that NO ONE can Steal Your Salvation. No One can Take Away Your Salvation.

The Definition of Eternal = Forever, Never Ending.

It is Absolutely Insane, Unbelievable that a person can see that the Bible says numerous times Believe on Jesus and have Eternal Life. Than say you can Lose your Salvation. If you have Eternal Life when you are Saved like the Bible Teaches than you can Not Lose your Salvation.

What Happens Immediately When A Person Is Saved:

A Christian is Born Again. Physical Birth happens at a definite time. As does spiritual Birth. So this is Proof Salvation is Not a Process that takes place over time. A physical birth can Not be undone. You are either born or you are Not. Being Born Again, a spiritual birth can Not be undone either. Being Born is a Fact. Being Born Again is a Fact.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

In the above passage Jesus is saying that only Human Beings can be Saved. Meaning that Heavenly Spiritual Beings can Not be Saved. Jesus Died to save Mankind. He did Not Die for Angels or any other Spiritual Being.

Jesus said this when he said: “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Angels all Spiritual Beings were a Special Creation. They did Not have parents. They were individually made as Adults. Verse 5 is describing both a Physical and a Spiritual Birth. A human baby being born is a Water Birth.

When you are Saved you become New, a New Creature:

2^nd Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

This is the New Birth, being Born Again. You can Not Lose your Salvation because once you are Saved you are Not the Old person you once were. You are a New Person in Christ Jesus, an Eternal Person.

Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Salvation, the New Birth, Being Born Again is a spiritual Transformation. When a Person is Born Again they become New: Verse 15 “… for to make in himself of twain one new man,”

When you are Saved you become, “One New Man.” Salvation makes you an Eternal man.

1^st Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

“… but we shall all be changed…” Shall be changed!!! This Will happen!!!

When a Person is Saved they have a Certainty / a Guarantee of being resurrected unto Eternal Life with their New Glorified Heavenly Immortal Body. But We Shall All Be Changed!!!

Sealed by the Holy Spirit of God = Eternal Life

Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Warning If You Deny Eternal Salvation Than You Will Go To Hell:

To Be Saved you Have to Believe the Gospel:

11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

Jesus Resurrection from the Dead is the 1^st Fruits of the Resurrection. We will also be Fruits of the Resurrection. We will be Raised into Eternal Life.

The Gospel Teaches we will be Resurrected like Jesus was. If you don’t Believe in Eternal Life you do Not Believe the Gospel.

You have to Believe the Gospel Only to Save you, or you will Go to Hell.

Philippians 3:13-14. How to Be Successful In The Christian Life. The Quick Simplest Biblically True Explanation is: Jesus is our Example to Follow.

The Bible Doesn’t Teach Works as a Way to Get to Heaven.

“…the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Salvation is 100% Jesus 0% Works, Human Effort.

The Entire CONTEXT of Philippians Chapter 3 is Salvation through Jesus Christ ONLY:

This Prize, Reward is Not Eternal Salvation / Eternal Life which they Already Have:

Salvation is Freely GIVEN to Everyone who has Believed on Jesus Christ Only. To Everyone who has Believed the Gospel ONLY for their Salvation:

The Entire Passage.

To Understand Philippians Chapter 3 it is Essential to Understand what the Christian Life is and is Not.

What is the Christian Life?

All Christians Are supposed to be Evangelist’s

Biblical Examples:

Now Back to the passage in Romans Chapter 1

Paul is saying that the Ministry of Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ is ALSO for ALL CHRISTIANS.

Understand this:

Failures:

Success:

Living in the Past is Bad.

The First Point is We all Fail. Failures are Never a Reason to Quit.

The Second Point is when you Fail Get up and Keep Moving Forward.

The Third Point is Forgetting the Failures, and the Successes in your Life.

Everything I have Said is Biblical:

The Entire passage:

Paul in verse 6 is explaining that he had a Zeal for God. He was active in doing what he knew was God’s Will.

Our Lives Before Salvation add up to Nothing. Without Jesus, we are Nothing. Paul is Speaking from the Heart.

The Context is Clearly to Grow in the Knowledge of Jesus Christ. To Become more and more Like Jesus Christ.

Philippians Chapter 3 and Romans Chapter 7 are Extremely Emotional Chapters where Paul is using examples about himself, his life, to Teach Biblical Truths.

Apprehend

Paul is saying Plainly that He is Not Finished with the Ministry Given to Him by Jesus.

Paul’s Goal, the Goal We Should All Have, is to Follow Jesus’ example to us written in the Bible.

Beware and Reject Counterfeit Christians, Counterfeit Christianity.

When Paul said to Follow him he Never Said: Reject what Jesus Taught. I have my own Doctrine that is Different than what Jesus Taught.

All False Churches/ False Christians Reject Jesus. They Worship a Different Jesus that they invented:

For any Honest person, The Above Passage in John Chapter 10 will Forever Close the Conversation on Who to Follow.

All False Counterfeit Churches / Christians Deny what Jesus Clearly Taught:

What Church to Go to? How to Find a Church?

Counterfeit Christianity Destroys Lives for many reasons.

Death and Hell is Always in the back of their minds.

This is not a Theory on mine. This is From the Bible. Jesus said this:

Everyone Knows that they are a Sinner.

This Passage in Jude Explains that Jesus Hates Sin, But Jesus is Merciful to Sinners:

The Conclusion of this is that We All Know that we are Sinners that Need Jesus to Save us from Hell.

Jesus is makes it Clear Hell is Real and it is a Place of Fire.

Everyone Knows that there are Consequences for their Sins.

People in Public have Blown up at me Just for Carrying a Bible.

This Unhinged Anger is from people that Fear Hell and Death.

Counterfeit Christianity is Counterfeit because it closely looks like the real thing.

Life is Meaningless without Jesus.

In Philippians 3:10-14 the Apostle Paul is talking about being Christlike. He wants to Follow the example Jesus gave us.

Share this:

Like this:

Spiritual Discernment / Biblical Knowledge doesn’t exist in the “Christian” Church.

Christians are Commanded to: Believe Not Every spirit!!!!

Counterfeit Christians / False Teachers are Everywhere calling for Christian Unity. That is Not Biblical!!!!

A Big Fight was over Circumcision:

Paul Confronts the Galatians Harshly about this in Galatians Chapter 3:

All Christians Are Required to Boldly Stand Up, Fight For the Christian Faith.

What does it mean to TRY THE SPIRITS WHETHER THEY ARE OF GOD…

Because Virtually Everyone knows this is the Right Answer I will ask people who say this Follow up Questions.

Trying the spirits Requires a Lot of work.

People who are Lying to you will run you in circles.

Like this:

Penance, Repent / Repentance As Used in Almost All “Christian” Churches, Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, etc…, Is A Catholic Teaching.

There is a Huge Amount of Paganism, and Non Biblical Teachings in Baptist Churches too.

I have directly called out dozens of Pastors in these Churches for their False Gospel, their False Unbiblical Teachings.

Jesus Constantly stood against False Religious Leaders.

To Be Clear This Biblical Message is Against the False Teachings You will Find in the Catholic Church and All Non Catholic Counterfeit Christian Churches.

Please be Sure to Read to the End because I will show you that there is No Substantial Doctrinal Difference Between what the Catholic Church Teaches on Penance, Repent / Repentance and What the Mainstream Baptist, and other Non Catholic “Christian” Churches Teach.

Before I get into the Main Points I Must First Explain what the Truth is. The True Gospel, The Truth about Repent / Repentance:

Below are a few facts about “Repent” as it is found in its various forms in both the Old and New Testaments:

Now, if “Repent” means to Turn from Sin, to Repent of Sin, to Forsake Sin we have a huge problem.

Repentance means to change your mind.

You will never find any verse in the Bible that Says to Repent of Sin.

People Falsely use 2nd Corinthians 7:9,10 to say Repentance is sorrow over Sin.

Let me give you an example.

The Holy Spirit is shouting to the entire World “You are a Dirty Rotten Sinner. Jesus died for your Sins….”

It is important to look at the context of verses we use.

The Gospel:

Another Verse False Teachers use is Acts 3:19 it is Twisted to Teach Repent of Sin.

The Context: The Entire Passage:

1^st Corinthians 10:13 IS NOT TO BE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT AND USED TO BEAT DOWN CHRISTIANS STRUGGLING WITH SIN.
