The 2 Greatest Evangelists Of All Time: Billy Sunday and Billy Graham?

Billy Graham and Billy Sunday

They will be forever linked because Billy Graham said he was Saved at a Billy Sunday revival. There are numerous books, videos, articles, etc…, from them and about them. Billy Sunday and Billy Graham are credited with reaching the most people in History. They Preached to more people than anyone else in their Revivals / Crusades. Under their Preaching Millions of people were supposedly Saved. I question that either one of them Saved even one person in their entire Lives.

Why? Neither on of them have a Christian Testimony. Billy Graham was a Southern Baptist. The Southern Baptist Church does not teach the Gospel Only for Salvation. They Teach the Gospel plus Works as does every other “Christian” Cult. The Southern Baptist Teach to be Saved you have to Repent of Sin. Repent of Sin is not in the Bible. Billy Graham was a very Good Southern Baptist. He taught you have to Repent of Sin to be Saved.

Billy Graham Hypocritically said repeatedly that Eternal life is a Gift, obtained by Grace Alone through Faith, and it sounds great what he said. But like All False Teachers he double Talks. Many False Teachers will at one time in their Ministry have taught Salvation correctly but later on they add Works to Salvation. Some False Teachers one day will teach Salvation Correctly than the next day they will add Works to Salvation. People will show me where they said Salvation correctly and I will show them where they taught Works. No Saved Pastor will ever teach Works as Part of Salvation.

Typically Billy Graham will Say: “Salvation is 100% Jesus without Works. We are Saved by Grace Without Works…” Then after he gains the crowd’s confidence, he changes direction and he starts adding requirements to be saved. Such as, to be Saved you have to change your behavior. You cannot continue in your current Sinful lifestyle and go to Heaven. You have to Turn From Your Sin before you can be Saved. You must openly confess Jesus Christ before people to be Saved. You have to fully Surrender to Christ’s Lordship to be Saved.. None of these things are the Gospel! Are part of Salvation. Are how a person is Saved. And he said you must CONTINUE doing these things to have Eternal Life! That is NOT the Gospel set forth in the Bible!

Billy Graham Like all Southern Baptist Preachers Taught you Have to Repent of Your Sins to Go to Heaven.

All Repent of your Sins False Teachers Falsely teach that the definition of Repent is to: Repent of Your Sin, To Turn From Sin. They Falsely Claim that this is not Works.

It is Works because according to them you must Agree to Stop Sinning before you can be Saved. Also they teach if you do not Ask For Forgiveness for every Sin that you commit, Another way they define Repentance, you will go to Hell. Turning From Sin is their illustration that to Be Saved You Have to Turn From Sin: Stop Sinning to Be Saved. This is 100% Works. Do not Forget Repent of Sin is not in the Bible.

The Bible Teaches that To Turn From Sin, To Repent of Sin, is Works.

Jonah 3:10 “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.”

God saw their Works. What Works? That they turned from their Evil Way. Evil Way = Sin. God / the Bible Defines Repent, Turn From Sin as Works. It could not be any more Clear.

Also see God Repented (Changed His Mind) of the Evil, God was going to Kill them, that he had said he would do unto them; and he did it not. So God here Changed his mind, which is Repentance.

Below in this YouTube Video Billy Does what All Repent of Sin False Teachers Do He Falsely Defines Repentance. He Says the Definition of Repent is to Stop Sinning, To Change Your Life Style. To Repent of Sin. The Bible Does not Define Repentance as to Repent of Sin. The Bible Definition of Repentance is to Change your mind. Do you realize that God Repents in the Bible more than anyone Else. Every Time God Repents he changes his Mind. Bible Repentance is to Change your mind from unbelief in Jesus, unbelief in the Gospel, to Belief in Jesus, to Belief in the Gospel as the Only Way to Heaven.

Billy Graham a brief Bio:

William Franklin Graham Jr. (November 7, 1918 – February 21, 2018) was an American Evangelist and an ordained Southern Baptist Pastor who became well known internationally starting in the late 1940s. He was a prominent Evangelical Christian figure, and according to a biographer, was “among the most influential Christian leaders” of the 20th century.

Billy Graham held large indoor and outdoor Revivals with sermons that were broadcast on radio and television. Many are still being re-broadcast . In his six decades to this day. On Television, he hosted annual Crusades, Evangelistic Campaigns that ran from 1947 until his retirement in 2005. He also hosted the radio show Hour of Decision from 1950 to 1954. He Repudiated Racial Segregation and insisted on racial integration for his Revivals and Crusades, starting in 1953. He later invited Martin Luther King Jr. to Preach jointly at a revival in New York City in 1957. In addition to his religious aims, he helped shape the worldview of a huge number of people who came from different backgrounds. Leading them to find a relationship between the Bible and Contemporary Secular viewpoints. According to his website, Billy Graham preached to live audiences of 210 million people in more than 185 countries and territories through various meetings, including BMS World Mission and Global Mission.

Billy Graham was particularly close to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson (one of Graham’s closest friends), and Richard Nixon. He was also lifelong friends with Robert Schuller. Another televangelist and the founding pastor of the Crystal Cathedral. Billy Graham talked Schuller into starting his own television ministry. Graham’s Evangelism was appreciated by mainline Protestant and Catholic Denominations. He encouraged those mainline Protestants who were converted to his Evangelical message. To remain within or return to their mainline churches. Billy Graham embarrassed Catholicism he encouraged unity between Catholics and Protestants.

I must Break in on this Bio… Billy Graham was not A Christian and this Bio makes that absolutely clear. He was an Ecumenicalist. Ecumenicalists Believe all Roads Lead to Heaven. Today’s Ecumenicalists  push “COEXIST” that all Religions are Equally Valid and they Will All Get You to Heaven.

President Lyndon Johnson was a very openly Vile Human Being. He was a well Known Racist Bigot a member of the KKK. The Leftist Press hid this Fact from the Public.

Robert Schuller was a Weirdo. Calling him a Preacher a Pastor is misusing those words. He was like Norman Vincent Peale the Power of Positive Thinking. Schuller was really just a motivational speaker that included Bible Verses. He did not Preach the Gospel.

In the Below YouTube Video Robert Schuller says He Does Not Believe In Everything the Bible Says. He actually Mocks Belief in the Bible.

Billy Graham in the Below YouTube Videos Said that No One will Go to Hell. He said Everyone is A Christian Even if they Do Not Know It. This False Un-Biblical Belief is called Universalism.

Billy Graham’s inclusiveness was all PR. He made more money the more people he allowed into his Revivals, into all of his meetings. His SBC was 100% White when he joined it. The Southern Baptist Church is the most Racist Church in History. Today the SBC is 85% White.

Now the rest of Billy Graham’s Bio:

Billy Graham operated a variety of media and publishing outlets. According to his staff, more than 3.2 million people have responded to the invitation at Billy Graham Crusades to “accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior”. (My Note: That is not what Billy Graham Taught he Taught you have to Repent of Your Sins to Be Saved. When someone made an Alter Call To Be Saved they were met by a person who had them pray a Sinner’s Prayer in that Prayer they had to Repent of their Sins to be Saved. At every Revival Billy Graham had handouts that Said to be Saved you have to Repent of Sin.)

Graham’s estimated lifetime audience, including radio and television broadcasts, topped billions of people. As a result of his crusades, Graham preached the (His False Repent of Sins Gospel) gospel to more people in person than anyone in the history of Christianity. Graham was on Gallup’s list of most admired men and women a record 61 times. Grant Wacker writes that by the mid-1960s, he had become the “Great Legitimator”: “By then his presence conferred status on presidents, acceptability on wars, shame on racial prejudice, desirability on decency, dishonor on indecency, and prestige on civic events.”

Billy Graham was in Love with Hollywood. He spent a lot of his time living it up with Satanic Hollywood Stars.

Billy Graham was Friends with many Country Music Stars. Country Music is Vile these friends sung about Whiskey getting Drunk, Adultery, Random Sex, they Glorified every Sin you can think of.

Billy Graham was the President’s Pastor. Nothing could be more Wicked than to be called the Pastor to POTUS. What Billy Graham was doing is telling Everyone this Guy is a Christian you should support him. None of those Presidents were Christians. Most of them were very Vile and Evil and so were their politics. If Billy Graham was Alive and healthy right now he would be standing with Joe Biden just like he stood up for the Clinton’s. Billy Graham was great Friends with the Clinton’s and the Bush’s some very Evil people.

Billy Sunday

His Bio: “Billy Sunday ( William Ashley) (1862–1935) was an American athlete who, after being a popular outfielder in baseball’s National League during the 1880s, became the most celebrated and influential American evangelist during the first two decades of the 20th century.

Born into poverty in Iowa, Sunday spent some years in an orphanage before working at odd jobs and playing for local running and baseball teams. His speed and agility provided him the opportunity to play baseball in the major leagues for eight years, where he was an average hitter and a good fielder known for his base-running.

Converted to evangelical Christianity in the 1880s, Sunday left baseball for the Christian ministry. He gradually developed his skills as a pulpit evangelist in the Midwest and then, during the early 20th century, he became the nation’s most famous evangelist with his colloquial sermons and frenetic delivery. Sunday held widely reported campaigns in America’s largest cities, and he attracted the largest crowds of any evangelist before the advent of electronic sound systems. He also made a great deal of money and was welcomed into the homes of the wealthy and influential. Sunday was a strong supporter of Prohibition, and his preaching almost certainly played a significant role in the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919.

Despite questions about his income, no scandal ever touched Sunday. He was sincerely devoted to his wife, who also managed his campaigns, but his three sons disappointed him. His audiences grew smaller during the 1920s as Sunday grew older, religious revivals became less popular, and alternate sources of entertainment appeared. Nevertheless, Sunday continued to preach and remained a stalwart defender of conservative Christianity until his death.

While Billy Sunday was a remarkable evangelist of his time, one of his greatest converts is Dr. Billy Graham. Dr. Graham writes about his conversion in this book, “Just As I Am” published by Harper Collins in 1997.”

Who Billy Sunday really was as an Evangelist.

IFB Baptists love Billy Sunday who was not even a Baptist he was a Presbyterian. Baptists Beliefs are a lot different than Presbyterian’s. Especially IFB Baptists that only use the KJV Bible. I always found it very Weird that in every IFB Church I have attended that Billy Sunday was a Huge Hero. After three years in Professional Baseball, he became a famous Revivalist Preacher. He held packed Tent Meetings across the country. He preached against the Consumption of Alcohol, gaining a reputation as a Temperance Leader.

The Presbyterian Church is not a Christian Church it teaches and has always taught Calvinism.

https://www.learnreligions.com/presbyterian-church-beliefs-and-practices-700522#:~:text=The%20beliefs%20and%20practices%20set%20forth%20by%20the,reformer.%20Calvin%27s%20theology%20was%20similar%20to%20Martin%20Luther%27s

Billy Sunday as a Temperance Preacher preached against Sin!!! His messages were all: “Repent of your Sins before it is too Late. If your do not Turn Away from Alcohol, Adultery, Fornication, all of your Secret Sins you will Go to Hell. Turn or Burn. All Drunks will Go to Hell. Stop your Sinning or Go to Hell.”

This message is why IFB Churches Love Billy Sunday. Preaching against Everything is all the IFB does. The IFB invent Sins to Preach against. They Do not understand the Bible. People do not Go to Hell for their Sins. They Go to Hell for Rejecting 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.”

See the Bible is Clear a person is Saved by Believing on Jesus Only. A person does not Go to Hell for their Sins. They Go to Hell For Rejecting Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

1st 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.

Jesus died for All Sin. He paid for all the Sins of the Entire World.

It is impossible to go to Hell for Sin.

Jesus either Died for All Sin or he did not. If Jesus did not Die for All Sin like the Bible says than we are All Lost.

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.”

1st 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:”

Hebrews 10:12 “But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;”

Jesus is the ONE AND ONLY SACRIFICE FOR ALL SINS FOREVER.

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

The Bible makes it Crystal Clear that Jesus Died for ALL SIN. ADDING ANYTHING TO JESUS BLOOD ATONEMENT IS WORKS.

Billy Sunday passed out booklets that taught lordship Salvation at all of his Tent meetings. Billy Sunday was not a Christian.

The truth is what Billy Sunday taught about Salvation how to be Saved is not Biblical. I know you can find Billy Sunday saying a lot of Biblical things. He quoted lot of scriptures. The bottom line is he talked out of both sides of his mouth like all False Teachers. He contradicted himself constantly.

Below is Billy Sunday telling how to be Saved. It is not Biblical. It is Works.

“Have you surrendered to Him as your Lord and Master? That is, are you willing to do His will even when it conflicts with your desire? Have you confessed to Him as your Saviour and Master before the world? Is it your purpose to strive to please Him in everything day by day? If you can sincerely answer “YES” to the foregoing questions, then you may know on the authority of God’s word that you are NOW a child of God.”

The Gospel, the only Way to be Saved according to the Bible is not included in Billy Sunday’s False Plan of Salvation.

Billy Sunday is teaching lordship salvation. Lordship salvation says before you can be Saved you must make Jesus the Lord of your Life. The Bible doesn’t say this.

Read the quote carefully. It tells you that you must Surrender to Jesus ( Also commonly said as: Surrender, give your Life to Jesus to be Saved. This is not Biblical. Jesus gave his Life to Save us. We do not give our Lives to Jesus to be Saved.) to be Saved.

It says you have to make A Public Confession of your Faith as part of your Salvation. The Bible doesn’t say that.

Billy says to be Saved you have to agree to strive to do his will in everything you do. That means: You Must Agree That You Will Strive Not To Sin as a Condition a Requirement for you to be Saved. This is not Biblical.

Nothing in his statement is Biblical. A person is Saved by Believing the Gospel Only not by anything in Billy Sunday’s False Plan of Salvation.

We are Saved by Believing the Gospel only, by Asking Jesus to Save us, Accepting Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

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:

Who Was Charles Stanley? Was He A Christian?

Charles Stanley was a Southern Baptist Pastor.

No Christian should ever have a problem defending their Faith. So do not attack me for Asking, was Charles Stanley a Christian. I will firmly say that Charles Stanley was not a Christian. He was a False Teacher.

As a Southern Baptist he held to every False Teaching taught by the Southern Baptists. More on this Later.

Below is a brief Bio of Charles Stanley:

“Charles Frazier Stanley (September 25, 1932 – April 18, 2023) was an American Southern Baptist pastor and writer. He was senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Atlanta for 49 years and took on emeritus status in 2020. He founded and was president of In Touch Ministries, which widely broadcasts his sermons through television and radio. He also served two one-year terms as president of the Southern Baptist Convention, from 1984 to 1986.

Stanley joined the staff of First Baptist Church of Atlanta in 1969 and became senior pastor in 1971.

In 1972, Stanley launched a half-hour religious television program called The Chapel Hour. In 1977, Stanley founded In Touch Ministries with the mission to lead people worldwide into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and to strengthen the local church. The Christian Broadcasting Network began televising In Touch in 1978. The show has since been translated into 50 languages. In the United States, In Touch is broadcast on approximately 500 radio stations, 300 television stations, and several satellite networks including The Inspiration Network and Trinity Broadcasting Network. Stanley’s sermons, along with other audio and video programming, are available on the In Touch website. The ministry also publishes In Touch magazine. In Touch uses tools like radio, television, magazines and digital media in its effort to advance the Gospel as quickly as possible. Stanley took the ministry name In Touch from a Living Bible he owned.

Stanley’s writings and broadcasts address issues such as finances, parenting, personal crises, emotional matters, relationships, and Protestantism. According to the In Touch website, “Dr. Stanley fervently believes the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God, a belief strongly reflected in his teaching.”

In 1985, Charles Stanley was elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention. In 2017, Stanley named Anthony George to succeed him as senior pastor of First Baptist Church at some point in the future. On September 13, 2020, Stanley announced his retirement as senior pastor and transition to pastor emeritus, but noted that he would continue to work at In Touch Ministries.

With regard to theology, Stanley was a conservative evangelical, and his eschatology was dispensationalist. Over the course of his ministry, Stanley developed “30 Life Principles.” He credited his Pentecostal grandfather, George Washington Stanley, with inspiring one of his most referenced principles: “Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.” In his book Courageous Faith: My Story from a Life of Obedience, Stanley said, “Granddad told me, ‘Charles, if God tells you to run your head through a brick wall, you head for the wall, and when you get there, God will make a hole for it.'” Stanley also addressed his influences and philosophy when he wrote in 2009 that he “began to apply the principles of [Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich] to my endeavors as a pastor, and I discovered they worked! For years, I read [it] every year to remind myself that the truth of God is not just for one career field. It is for all manner of work and ministry.”

Exposing False Teacher Charles Stanley

The above Bio is a real mess. Obviously written by someone who does not understand Christianity. The term Evangelical is a made up Term. It is not a Christian Denomination. It is just like the term Ecumenical which is also not a Denomination. These are broad terms that seek to put specific Churches into one big happy Tent.

Churches that use the term Evangelical are Lost they teach Repent of Sin to be Saved. Repent of Sin is not in the Bible. Repent of sin means that to Be Saved you have to not Sin again. In this False Gospel Jesus does not and cannot Save you. You have to Stop Sinning. Some will say it is Actually you have to Repent of Every Sin you have Ever Committed, Ask God to Forgive each and everyone of your Sins. If you skip even one Sin you will go to Hell.

Repent of Sin False Churches say both. Many who teach it will deny teaching it. When Asked they say: “No you misunderstand. We do not Believe you have to Repent of Sin as such… But what Saved person lives in constant habitual Sin? They in fact do believe you have to Repent of Sin. They claim a Christian cannot live in Sin. My answer to them is to Read Romans Chapter 7 where the Apostle Paul is in Agony over his Habitual Sins that he cannot stop. They are the worsts Frauds, complete Hypocrites.

Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

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.

Charles Stanley like most False Teachers took teachings from the Catholic Church, from the Pentecostal Church, and many other Churches. Most Baptists including Charles Stanley are very Calvinist in their beliefs.

His Dispensationalist beliefs are 100% unbiblical. Dispensationalism is not found in the Bible it is completely made up. The short meaning of Dispensationalism is that there is not one plan of Salvation. There are many different plans of Salvation. According to them God kept changing how a person is Saved. They teach the Bible has 12 or more different ways to Be Saved in it. Not one of these plans that they have invented is Jesus Only.

These Dispensationalist Love to say that they Believe right now in the Church Age Dispensation Salvation is through Faith Alone, by Grace Alone, by Jesus Alone. They say this, Charles Stanley always said this, and use the correct Bible verses to defend this. But they do not Believe it for a Second. They all teach Repent of Sin to Be Saved which is Salvation by Works by what you do. They do not Trust in Jesus only for Salvation.

Charles Stanley’s Southern Baptist Convention:

If you want to know what is happening at the Southern Baptist Convention please watch all of the YouTube Videos I am including and open and read all the links I have included.

People often read maybe 1% of my Blogs and want to argue with me. They have not read my Blog but want to argue with me about it. It is obvious when I talk to them. They demand information I have already given in my Blog. I kindly tell them that before they argue with me about my Blog they have not even read they need to read it. Including all the information in my links.

They want me to repeat everything I said in the information I already provided to them. All the questions they ask me I have already answered in my Blog. So please read my entire Blog including all the videos and links. Afterward we can have an Adult conversation if you would like to.

Recently a Woman who engaged me in conversation, well she wanted to argue with me, told me: “Why would I read your Blog?” (She was Angry at my Blog. She possible just read the Head line and the 1st few sentences only. But she did not read 98% of my Blog.)

“I know I will not agree with anything you have to Say.”

The truth is she, the Devil inside of her, did not want to Change her Mind. She wanted to tell me what she Believed. But she refused to hear me out. She wanted a one Side Conversation. “Listen to Me!!! I will just Ignore what you have to Say!!! Just Listen to me and Shut up!!!

That is what happens online typically. People go online to Argue not to Learn and Listen to someone else. They are all know it All’s who in truth have zero idea what they are talking about. They cannot defend their position. 

Repent of Sin to be Saved is the SBC’s plan of Salvation. Calvinism is now and has been Historically upheld. Note Calvinism is not Biblical. It is a non-Christian set of beliefs invented by John Calvin. A former Catholic who created his own Religion. He blended Catholic teaches into Calvinism. This is no different than Joseph Smith inventing Mormonism.

The Southern Baptist Church is a non Christian Cult. Many unsaved Cults have Baptist in their name. Like all Freewill Baptist and all Reformed Baptist. In the link below is the Southern Baptist Convention reaffirming their belief in Repent of Sin to be Saved.
The recent decision by delegates to the Southern Baptist Convention to affirm the use of the “sinner’s prayer” – known as a prayer of repentance and “inviting Jesus into your heart” – has undermined Calvinism in the denomination and placed a renewed emphasis on traditional Baptist soteriology: if you repent, call on the Lord and believe in Christ for mercy, you are saved.
The resolution, which passed Wednesday by a majority vote of around 80 percent, affirmed the belief that “repentance from sin and personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are necessary for salvation.” Citing Romans 10:13, it also affirmed that “repentance and faith involve a crying out for mercy and a calling on the Lord,” more commonly known as the “sinner’s prayer,” as a “biblical expression of repentance and faith.”

I have included my message on the Sinners Prayer. I sent it earlier in one of my 1st emails. Maybe you did not see it like you missed the pictures I sent you about Jack Hyles book on Soul winning. I have also included the information about Billy Sunday I talked about in the same earlier email that you wanted to see. The Sinners’ prayer is Biblical. Cults like the Southern Baptist always put Repent of Sin or another version of lordship salvation in their Sinners prayer.

People often ask me, not how to be Saved only, but how do I know that I am Saved. I know I am Saved because I have the Holy Spirit of God inside of me. I tell people that after being Saved God speaks to me. The notion of God speaking to people is a reason to put that person in a straight jack and to lock them away in a mental hospital according to the Lost World. A popular police TV series Blue Bloods had an episode with the family praying at the dinner table and the young police officer son told his Father: “Today I arrested a guy who said God speaks to him. Do you think God speaks to people?” Tom Selleck’s character said: “This man you arrested, obviously was very disturbed. There are no burning bushes with God speaking to someone out of.” This good Catholic family is the core of Blue Bloods. TV and movies are used to push Satan’s False Religions and to mock the truth of the Bible.

The Southern Baptist Convention, as the Denomination is formally known, has been in the news recently amid questions over its pro-slavery past and allegations of sex abuse. Last year, one of the denomination’s key seminaries fired its president over an alleged cover-up of rape.

The South and the Southern Baptist Church during Slavery was 100% Democrat. There was not one Republican in a Southern Baptist Church. Republicans freed the Slaves. The Southern Baptist Church is 85% White today and is still full of Racist. I know this from having lived in Virginia, and Florida for over 20 years. I do not believe for one second that it is true that the Southern Baptist Church is by majority Republican now. Many top Southern Baptists were / are big supporters of the Republicans but that is not true across the board.

I hate it how Republicans who claim to be Christians scoff at the issue of Slavery. They wear blinders and falsely claim that people today are not even slightly influenced by the Bigots, the historic Evil attitude towards Blacks that Whites in both the North and South had. Yes most people in the North did not fight to free the Slaves. They fought to keep the South in the United States of America.

The Civil war was fought over States Rights. A popular quote at the time in the North was: “I would never risk my life to Free Slaves. I am fighting for the Union, for the United States.” Lincoln’s speeches were all about saving the United States not about freeing the Slaves. His Anti-Slavery Speeches came after the start of the Civil war. He Said: “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it.” Lincoln said this because he knew the people in the North would never go to War to end Slavery alone.

Lincoln’s only chance to Save the Union was the plea to Save the Union. The Slavery argument would not have gone anywhere. The argument for the North was to Save the Union. The South was fighting to keep Slavery that was the only issue for them. People feared that England, and France would come back and take over the United States again if it was broken apart. The Civil War is called the 2nd American Revolution for a reason.

Republicans ignore that even today the South is full of Racist Whites. The North if we are honest is also filled with Racist Whites. All of this Racism is because of Slavery. To say otherwise is a Lie. The excuse for Slavery was that Blacks left to themselves were no better than animals. They claimed Blacks were inferior in intelligence and a life in Slavery was a good life for them. Just read Gone with the Wind for proof. Gone with the Wind was Southern propaganda post Civil War. Margret Mitchell was raised by people who lived through the Civil War. She had 1st hand knowledge of how the South was before, during and after the Civil War by people who taught it to her.

To say White Racist no longer exist is a huge Lie. It is not as bad as it was in the past but it is still a huge problem that should not be ignored. All my life I have known White Racist. The military in the 1980’s, when I joined the military, was full of White Racists. A Black man in my squadron was tarred and feathered out in the hanger bay. He was left there for 12 hours for everyone to see. There was a mob of men standing by to prevent anyone from freeing him. He was tied to a chair. The officers, including the Commanding Officer had to have known about this.

Everyone on the ship was talking about it. It was no secret. No one was held accountable for this. I was told if I tried to interfere I would not be tarred and feathered. I would be thrown overboard without a life vest… You know people go missing at sea every cruise. That statement was true. I never went to sea when we did not lose at least one person who went overboard. Death at Sea is a fact. Murder at Sea is also a Fact.

My point concerning Charles Stanley is that he had to be a Racist to be a part of the Southern Baptist Church. At the time he joined the SBC it was extremely Racist.

How to Be Saved:

Acts 16:30 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.

The Greatest possible Question and Answer.

Question? What must I do to be Saved?

Answer: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

If you Believe the Bible is the 100% True word of God than this is how a person is Saved, period!!!! Plus nothing else.

It is hard to find any Church that Believes this and teaches this. Either the Bible is 100% True or it is a Lie.

When you read the Bible you need to look at the entire context of the verse you are using.

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.

What does it mean to Believe on Jesus? To Believe on Jesus you Believe what the Bible says about Jesus.

John 6:63 “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

This is a very deep and powerful verse. I have never heard a Pastor, a Preacher, an Evangelist, no one ever expound on and teach this entire verse.

I am not going to either, there is too much in this verse to be able to explain in one message.

I want to focus on “… the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

The condensed meaning is Jesus Words are Alive. A spirit is Alive. “… they are Life.”

They are Life means that Jesus Words are what gives us Eternal Life. Also we need to live our lives according to the Bible as Christians.

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.

Jesus is literally the Living Word of God. The only Way to Heaven. JESUS ONLY. Not Jesus plus anything else.

Jesus words:

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.

Jack Chick, Dr. Peter Ruckman were they Christians?

Men of God or Satan’s False Teachers?

Jack T. Chick and Dr. Peter S. Ruckman they were Life Long Friends. They both Taught you have to Repent of Sin to Be Saved. That you have to Turn from your Sins to Be Saved. If you do not agree to Stop Sinning than you cannot be Saved. Is this True or False? I will completely answer this. 

Jack T. Chick, Chick Publications, Christian or not Christian? I will answer that Question Completely.

After Jack Chick Died on October 23, 2016 numerous major publications like the New York Times Published articles about him. Many I have seen were very respectful. Others were Mocking him.

Countless Religious organizations, and people wrote Articles, Blogs, comments on Social Media that were very Hateful of him. People were dancing in Joy because he Died. Ironically they are just as Wrong on Salvation, Theology, the Basic understanding of the Bible as Jack Chick was.

Below is a generic standard short Bio for Jack T. Chick.

“Jack Thomas Chick (April 13, 1924 – October 23, 2016) was an American cartoonist and publisher, best known for his fundamentalist Christian “Chick tracts“. He expressed his perspective on a variety of issues through sequential-art morality plays.

Chick’s views have been spread mostly through the tracts and, more recently, online. His company, Chick Publications, says it has sold over 1 Billion tracts, comics tracts and comic books, videos, books, and posters designed to promote Evangelical Protestantism from a Christian fundamentalist perspective. They have been translated into more than 100 languages.

From 1953 to 1955, Jack Chick drew a single-panel cartoon, whose text was written by P. S. Clayton, titled Times Have Changed? It thematically resembled the B.C. comic strip and The Flintstones animated cartoon, but predated both. These were syndicated by the Mirror Enterprises Co. in Los Angeles area newspapers.

After converting to Christianity, Chick wanted to evangelize others, but he was too shy to talk to people directly about religion. Chick heard from missionary Bob Hammond, who had broadcast in Asia on the Voice of America, that the Chinese Communist Party had gained significant influence among ordinary Chinese in the 1950s through the distribution of small comic books. Chick also began working with a prison ministry and created a flip chart of illustrations to use with his presentation. He hit upon the idea of creating witnessing tracts, which could be given to people directly or indirectly.

While working for the AstroScience Corporation (a maker of tape recorders and avionics for the U.S. government) in El Monte, California, he self-published his first tract, Why No Revival? in 1960. He paid for it with a loan from his credit union. He published his second tract, A Demon’s Nightmare, in 1962. He decided to create more tracts and began “using his kitchen table as an office and art studio”. Christian bookstores were reluctant to accept the tracts, but they were popular among missionaries and churches.

He officially established Chick Publications in 1970 in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Initially, Chick wrote and illustrated all of the comics himself, but in 1972 he hired another artist to illustrate many of the tracts. Fred Carter illustrated tracts anonymously until 1980, when he was identified in an issue of Chick’s newsletter Battle Cry. Carter also painted the oil paintings seen in The Light of the World, a film Chick produced that related the Christian gospel.”

Life long Friends Dr. Peter S. Ruckman and Jack T. Chick

Dr. Peter Sturgis Ruckman (November 19, 1921 – April 21, 2016) was close friends with Jack Chick he sold Chick Publications / Tracts for 40 plus years. Like Chick Ruckman was an accomplished artist.

They were both Hated by Millions. Much more people Hated them than liked them. Jack T. Chick was much more known by the public than Ruckman. For example a simple Google Search of both of their Deaths will show numerous top Media Sites like the New York Times writing about Jack T. Chick.

Do the same search for Dr. Peter S. Ruckman and you will not see any major Media Site writing about him. His son another Dr. Peter Ruckman comes up because he murdered his two sons in cold blood and committed Suicide. He was obviously seriously mentally ill. Not a good look for the “Christian” influence of his Father on his life.

They were Loved by Radical KJV AV 1611 IFB, Independent Fundamental Baptists Churches because they wrote against every other possible Religion. Every Church Organization that was not a Radical KJV AV 1611 IFB Baptist Church they Mocked, Said were Lost Apostates.

Ruckman who Contradicted himself constantly also said: “People are Saved in almost every Church Denomination. There are Saved Catholics in most Catholic Churches. You will find Saved people in Mormon Churches, in Hindu, Buddhist Religions, in basically all Religious Organizations. You find them there because, many were Saved as Children than as Adults they rejected what they were taught and sought out something else. Even Adults will get mad at God and seek something else.

Exposing Lost False Teacher Jack T. Chick

At the end of every Jack Chick tract we find the following plan of salvation: “Be Willing To Turn From Sins.”

Jack Chick's: False Gospel
Jack Chick’s: False Gospel

Jack Chick’s “be willing to turn from sins” at the end of each of his tracts. Is clear PROOF that he is portraying Salvation as a Contract made, a DEAL with God. Not a gift. The Bible says Salvation is a Free Gift.

Jack Chick is Twisting the Scriptures. Acts 17:30 Explained:

Acts 17:30 “And 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 from verse 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.” 

 In Luke 13:5 Jesus 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.

In this passage, Jesus Christ was talking to good 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.  

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. To Make a Deal with God to Stop Sinning to Be Saved.

Jack Chick’s False Gospel: “I will give you this car, BUT you must be willing to wash it before I will give it to you”. This is not a Gift! And the implication is clear they must be willing do something to have the car.

Understand in Jack Chick’s (Also, Peter S. Ruckman’s and KJV AV 1611 IFB Baptist Churches, Evangelical Churches, The vast Majority of Churches.) False Gospel if you are not Willing to Stop Sinning as a Condition of Salvation than you will not be Saved. Their Salvation is conditional not a Free Gift. It is Works Salvation.

Beware of their Buzz Words the Scriptures they share that say they Believe in Salvation by Grace Alone, By Only Jesus, By Faith Alone. They do not Believe any of this or the Scriptures that say it. If you have enough time in their Churches. Or if you talk with them long enough you will hear them say: “Repent or Perish.” “If you do not Change Your Ways you will Go To Hell.” “Turn or Burn.” They have a Lot of unbiblical sayings, teachings.

Repent of Sin is not in the Bible.

Salvation is never presented in the Bible as a 4 step plan. There is not one example in the Bible of this. Only the issue presented in step 3 is relevant to getting saved. It is the job of the Holy Spirit to convict the Lost Sinner of their Sins and their need for Jesus as their Savior.

The Bible commands “preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). 1st Cor 15:1-4 is the Gospel. Anything presented as the Gospel, the plan of Salvation. That is not the Gospel, (“any other gospel”-Gal 1:8) being preached is first of all disobedience to the Word of God. Second of all it is salvation by works. Because something is being ADDED. I don’t see “Turning from your Sins,” “Repent of Sin,” any other Work, in 1 Cor 15:1-4.

Millions of Lost people say it is a matter of semantics. I say if it does not match with the Word of God PRECISELY, it is False. Adding Words to the Gospel is NOT Semantics. An agreement to Stop Sinning to Be Saved is WORKS, it is not Semantics.

Satan Often says a lot of Half-Truths to Deceive. If you read the Bible you will clearly see this. The Bible is the Absolute Final Authority in Every WORD Spoken and Life Lived. If your Salvation is not the Gospel Only than you are Lost. If you are Saved and you do not Live your Life by the Bible than you are being Deceived by Satan.

Your Salvation is not determined by Good Works, by a Commitment to not Sin. A Friendly Warning If you choose to Live in Sin it is Wrong and it only Helps Satan. You will not Go to Hell but you do not want to meet Jesus after living a very Sinful Life.

Matthew 4:4
“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

God has NEVER commanded us to present Salvation to Lost Sinners as a “Step-By-Step” process. That is not in the Bible anywhere. The Bible does not say “Preach a Plan”, it commands “preach the GOSPEL.”

Sadly Jack Chick Publications is poisoning multitudes with this deadly Salvation by Works message. I exhort you if you are Saved. If you have Believed the Gospel Only. The Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus to pay for the Penalty of your Sins. To STOP distributing Chick Tracts. To Immediately throw them out in double Bagged Dark Trash Bags, and start Preaching the Gospel. Make your own Gospel Tracts.

Surrender your life to Christ? That’s Lordship Salvation!

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

On their website’s statement of faith, they state concerning salvation:

“Salvation is the gift of God and includes the forgiveness of sins, the imputation of the Righteousness of Jesus Christ, and the gift of eternal life. Union with the triune God provides all blessings in this life and the life hereafter. Salvation is received by faith alone, apart from all good works and merit.”

SOURCE: http://www.chick.com/information/general/statementoffaith.asp

Yet, Mr. Chick horribly contradicts himself in every tract he writes when he REQUIRES lost sinners to “Be willing to turn from sin” to be saved. No Sir! Why doesn’t he state that in his statement of faith? This is deception! Jesus plainly said in Revelation 21:6, “I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life FREELY.” Jesus said in John 7:28, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

I always loved the booklets, “This Was Your Life!” and “Love Story” Unfortunately, I really didn’t fully read each tract. I was looking at the pictures that told a story I thought was correct. Years Later God Forced me to carefully read these Chick Tracts and Others and I immediately Realized Jack Chick was Teaching a False Gospel.

“Ask Jesus to come into your heart,”  To “Invite Jesus into your life” Is a False Gospel Chick Tracts often uses. To “Ask Jesus into your Heart” is a False Gospel. To “Surrender your life to Christ” is a False Gospel. To “Trust Jesus” is a False Gospel.

“The Gospel” is defined as: Christ DIED on the cross for our sins, He was BURIED, and bodily RESURRECTED three days later according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” Beware of all the garbage being taught in churches and on religious radio today!

Jack Chick is Confusing!

Mr. Chick states on one hand that he believes “salvation is the gift of God”; but then on the other hand teaches that a person MUST “be willing to turn from sin” to be saved. What a contradiction! 

Regardless of what Mr. Chick claims to believe, we must analyze his Gospel tracts based upon their content. 

In order to be saved, Jack Chick requires a sinner to pray the words… “I am willing to turn from sin.” This is unbiblical. The implication is that a person must cease from the activity of sin to be saved. This is the heresy of Lordship Salvation, which is nothing less than works salvation, and a sure road to hellfire.

Biblical salvation is when a person turns toward Jesus Christ to be saved from their sin; NOT turning from their sin in order to be saved. 

Romans 3:19 “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.”

Carefully notice that a person is only required to turn to Jesus to be saved from the condemnation of sin, and not from the act of sin itself. The Law of God shows us our sinful condition, which causes us to realize that we are GUILTY! 

Repentance is when we “turn” to Jesus to receive His free gift of forgiveness and eternal life. To turn to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins is Biblical repentance.

This is drastically different than what Jack Chick is teaching, i.e., that a person is required to be willing to turn from the act of sin itself to be saved. You won’t find the phrases “repent of sin” or “turn from sin” anywhere in the Bible. 

It is false doctrine to require lost sinners to “be willing to turn from sin” as part of saving grace. Jesus shed His precious blood to pay for our sins, because our own self-righteousness could NOT save us. Isaiah 64:6 declares our own self-righteousness as “filthy rags” in the sight of God Almighty. 

Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you.” 

To go to Heaven my friend, you need HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, i.e., Jesus’ righteousness. We read in: 

Romans 10:3-4, “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” 

Jack Chick asks sinners to establish their own righteousness when he tells them they MUST “be willing to turn from sin” in order to have God’s free gift of eternal life. 

If a person is required to be willing to do anything to obtain a gift (other than receive it), then it is no longer a gift. If I say to my son… “You may borrow the car if you’re willing to bring it home with a full tank of gas.” The implication is clear—I expect him to completely fill the gas the tank before he returns the car!

The implication is the same in Chick Tracts. If a person MUST “be willing to turn from sin” to be saved, they are required to Forsake their Sinful behavior to be saved. They have to Stop Sinning.

According to Mr. Chick, you cannot be saved unless you’re “Willing To Turn From Sin.” (Which clearly implies that you must Forsake your Sinful Bad Habits to be Saved) There’s nothing in John 3:16, 1st Corinthians 15:1-4, or anywhere in the Bible, about Being Willing To Turn From Sin to be Saved.

Jack Chick False Gospel

In This Tract Party Girl, Grandma says: “If you Repent of Your Sins and Receive Jesus Christ by Faith then you will Receive God’s Love Gift.” Jill Prays “…Please come into my Heart and become my Savior.” Come into My Heart??? Really that is not in the Bible. To Be Saved Jill needed to Believe the Gospel. To Believe Jesus Died, was Buried, and Rose from the Dead to pay for the Penalty of All of Her Sins.

This Prayer if Believed will Save You: “Jesus I know I am a Sinner that deserves to spend Eternity in Hell. I Believe the Gospel that You Jesus Died in my Place. You were Buried and Rose from the Dead to Pay for All of My Sins. Jesus Please Save Me. I accept you as my Savior.”

Exposing Lost False Teacher Peter Sturgis Ruckman.

I first discovered Dr. Peter S. Ruckman in 1984. I have read a lot of what he has written and have heard and seen him preach numerous times. I went to his Church briefly. I think he was great in his defense of the AV 1611 KJV Bible. His chalk talk sermons were very original and mostly good.

If you are a person like me who has read a lot of Dr. Ruckman’s books, heard a huge amount of his preaching… Than you know he beats a dead horse better than anyone. He is very, very, very repetitive.

I find it extremely Hypocritical of people who are followers of Dr. Ruckman, that get Hateful, even violent, anytime he is questioned. They cannot dispute the criticism given so they lash out with Extreme Vile Hate.

It is so hypocritical because no person who ever lived (In my opinion) has been more critical and vocal in lashing out at people he disagreed with than Dr. Peter S. Ruckman.

He was full of himself with such pride. He loved to pat himself on the back. In his sermons he would demand that people shout Amen at him. “What are you all asleep? If you will not say Amen…. I will!!! Amen. Amen. Amen.

He repeated himself over and over and over again in each of his commentaries. Try reading one of his longer books a Bible Commentary and you can skip at least 25% of the book because it is him repeating the same stuff he has said at least a few hundred times in his other books. He goes on the same long rants in his books that really have nothing to do with the topic at hand. These rants are directed at people he disagrees with.

The purpose for these rants is to heap praise on himself….. “I am more intelligent than anyone else.”

He should have just written one book with all of these rants in it. He could have called it: My analysis of the errors of Christian Scholarship. And the errors of celebrated Lost People.

I do not think repeating the same rants over and over and over again was driven by anything other than his own ego. Something that may be true doesn’t need to be repeated in many different Bible Commentaries. This is redundant.

The biggest issue I have with Dr. Ruckman is his False Dispensationalism. His False Gospel, the Same False Gospel of Jack Chick. He teaches up to 12 different plans of Salvation. He also contradicts himself on almost everything if you are well read up on what he has written and have listened to and or watched his sermons.

Dr. Ruckman has a booklet the ABC’s of Salvation which I think is one of the best explanations of how to be Saved. But he also has another book: Soul Winning. In this book he teaches Lordship Salvation.

He talks about using Chick Tracts and how he really loves them. He also talked about a Tract from John R. Rice… which I do not think is in print any longer, I could not find it.

In this book of his on Soul Winning he said he was in a barber shop once. That there were several other men in the barber shop that were looking at a Kinsey Sex book… (Right now I will say I doubt this ever happened. The time this was to have happened would have been in the 70’s maybe the 80’s not later. Not once in my life have I ever been out in public and seen men anywhere openly looking at pornography and being rude and crude over it.)

Dr. Ruckman said he thought of just getting up and leaving even without his haircut being done. But he finished getting his hair cut. And as he was leaving he said: “I told those guys they needed to Repent, they need to stop their sinful ways or they would all go to Hell.” He told them to Repent of Sin or they will go to Hell. That is what his words meant.

This is 100% Lordship Salvation. When I read that book I could not believe that Dr. Ruckman would say this, let alone say this in a book on Soul Winning.

His book on Soul Winning did not teach how a person is Saved. It pushed Lordship Salvation. He did not even mention the Gospel in it. It was all about passing out Chick Tracts and telling people to Repent of Sin.

I have been apart of many different KJV only Churches IFB Baptist Churches. I have not seen many KJV only Churches that do not sell Chick Tracts and Fellowship Tract League Tracts both teach Lordship Salvation. (Half of Fellowship Tract League tracts are good the other half teach Lordship Salvation.) While I was in these Churches for nearly 10 years I never heard one Sermon on Repent of Sin. This was in the 1980s and the early 1990s.

I was Saved in 1973 long before I was involved with IFB Baptist Churches. I read the KJV Bible. Plus other Bible Versions back than. When I read Chick Tracts I never connected them with their False Gospel. I think because I knew the Truth my brain was hard wired to the Gospel. I trusted the Pastor’s and the People in these Churches so I did not carefully read Chick Tracts. I have talked with numerous other people that told me they had the same experience.

Over the years I have confronted a bunch of KJV only Pastors about Lordship Salvation. Most of them either believed in Lordship Salvation or they refused to even discuss it.

If you are Saved you should have a serious problem with Dr. Ruckman and with Jack Chick. These False Teachers are responsible for thousands if not Millions of people going to Hell.

False Gospels:

Lordship salvation: “You have to Turn from your sins in order to be saved.” This is simply not True and is not found in the Bible.

A person is saved by believing on Jesus Only. The Gospel by which we are Saved is the Belief that Jesus Died, was Buried and that he Rose again on the 3rd day to pay the entire world’s Sin Debt.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say to be Saved a person has to 1st Turn From Their Sins.

Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Peter S. Ruckman Love him or Hate him. People In the ministry Hate Dr. Ruckman. They rejoiced in his Death. The main issue is over the AV 1611 KJV Bible.

These people Hate Dr. Ruckman because they could not defend their position on the AV 1611 KJV Bible. Dr. Ruckman exposed them for making themselves the final authority over the Bible.

The Fans of Dr. Ruckman have the Same amount of Hatred for anyone that dares to question anything about him. They refuse to be objective.

The quickest way to get Blocked by fans of Dr. Ruckman is to ask them to be objective and to see the Flaws, Faults he had.

Ruckmanites are a Cult. They proudly call themselves Ruckmanites. How is this different than being a Calvinist? It is no different because they believe Calvinist False Doctrines. Most Ruckmanites are Calvinist, despite the fact most of them will not admit it.

When you put Dr. Ruckman ahead of Jesus you are not a Christian you are a Ruckmanite. Everyone who calls themselves a Ruckmanite is putting Dr. Ruckman ahead of Jesus.

The Worship that Dr. Ruckman gets is alarming.

It is very distressing how people will Worship men. Dr. Ruckman Worship is not a first. Most popular and noted Pastor’s have a multitude of people who Worship them. I find that people put their Pastor on a pedestal and refuse to ever question him. (Her for wicked people who will be in a Church with a Female Pastor.)

When you question someone like Dr. Ruckman the fangs of people immediately come out. I have never found a Ruckmanite that would be Civil when I tried to talk about things Dr. Ruckman was wrong about. Interestingly enough they are unable to use the Bible they claim to Believe to defend Dr. Ruckman’s False and Contradictory Bible teachings.

What they do is Attack me. “How DARE YOU question Dr. Ruckman.” “You think you know the Bible better than him?” Their go to position is “Well Dr. Ruckman is the greatest defender of the AV 1611 KJV that there ever was. How can you question him.”

Just because a person is correct about one thing does not mean that they are never wrong. When you cannot use the Bible to defend a False Teaching you believe. And you have to say “Well he defended the AV 1611 KJV Bible…” you are just Worshiping a man.

Dr. Ruckman’s False Teachings are sending people to Hell. He taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin, to Repent of Sin.

I was blocked by a Ruckmanite Pastor, who said that Dr. Ruckman never taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin. I provided indisputable proof to him. He rejected the proof saying I was making too much of it. That it was wrong of me to say that Dr. Ruckman taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin. Even when he said it over and over again in his book Theological Studies Volume 2 Chapter 54 “Repentance.”

When people reject published proof they are Frauds. Almost everyday I provide written proof, video proof to people who are supporting a False Doctrine, a False Teacher. If you are given the published evidence that proves you are wrong you need to be an adult and say: “OK you just proved it.”

Almost no one will admit they are wrong even after they are proven 100% to be wrong. They will just Block you. Ignore, Avoid you.

This person I am talking about said I was wrong and denied all the evidence I showed him. He did not deny that the information I provided was true. He said it just did not matter. He made me out to be the Bad Guy for saying that Dr. Ruckman taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin. He said so what he taught the truth too.

Satan mixes Truth with Lies. A person that sometimes Teaches Salvation correctly but also will later teach Repent of Sin, Works Salvation, they are not Saved they are a False Teacher. Any Saved person will Never Teach Works as a part of Salvation.

Most people know that Dr. Ruckman taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin, and they agree.

The Bible does not teach that Repent means to Turn from Sin. To defend his False Teaching that Repent means to Turn from Sin. Dr. Ruckman adds Turn from Sin to the Bible.

Word for word, from his book on Theology: “Gospel Repentance” is turning from Sin and turning to God. It is best illustrated in Acts 20:21, where Paul said:

Acts 20:21 “Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Sin is not mentioned at all in Acts 20:21. It does not say to Turn from Sin.

Dr. Ruckman is adding Turn from Sin to this verse. He is a Hypocrite who endlessly screams about people adding and taking away words from the Bible. He is just like them adding words to the Scriptures and taking away words.

In this same Chapter Dr. Ruckman defines Repent as to change your mind which is correct. Like I said Dr. Ruckman constantly contradicted himself.

Let’ look at this more. So the verse: “… repentance toward God, (a change of mind from unbelief in God to belief), and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”

John 3:16 is saying the same thing as Acts 20:21.

To be Saved a person must believe:

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.”

The essence is: Believe in God, and put your Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, to Save you.

Exactly what Acts 20:21 is saying. If you do not see this your mind is Blinded.

Dr. Ruckman adds Turning from Sin to Acts 20:21.

The Bible is very repetitive. The entire theme of the Bible is Jesus was sent by God to Save the world from the Penalty of all their Sins. Believe in God and put your Faith in Jesus to Save you.

Another passage saying the same thing:

1st 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.

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.

Bible Salvation Bible Verses:

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:

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.

Every time in the Bible a person is told to Believe on Jesus to be Saved. No place in the Bible does it say to Repent of Sin to be Saved.

FYI In the Bible God Repents more than anyone. God does not Sin.

Repentance has nothing to do with Sin.

God Repents in the Bible more than anyone else. God does not Sin.

Every time God Repents he changes his mind.

When a Person Believes on Jesus they have just Repented because they Changed their mind from Unbelief in Jesus to Belief in Jesus.

More Salvation Bible Verses.

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.

The Bible is Clear. A Person is Saved by Believing on Jesus. A person only goes to Hell for Rejecting Jesus. Because of their Unbelief in Jesus. No One goes to Hell for Sin.

In the included video starting at 10:00 minutes Dr. Ruckman teaches that Repent means to Turn from Sin.

C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Christians?

C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien are celebrated by “Christians.”

I see them quoted by these “Christians” every time I am on Social Media. Why are they so popular among “Christians?” Neither one has an Actual Salvation Testimony. Neither one taught Biblical Salvation: Belief in the Gospel only for Salvation.

C.S. Lewis was a vocal Atheist until 1931 when he became a Catholic at the age of 33. His conversion to Roman Catholicism was with the help of his close friend and devout Roman Catholic J.R.R. Tolkien. Lewis described these changes in his autobiography Surprised by Joy (1955), an account of his spiritual and intellectual life through his early 30s.

What has always shocked me is how IFB Baptists, and Evangelicals call both C.S. Lewis and Tolkien Great Christians.

They will even sell their books in their book stores. Why is it shocking? Because IFB Baptists (Baptists in General) and most Evangelicals do not believe that Catholics are Christians.

It always shocks me when I show people books upon books that document the Bloody History of Warfare that the Roman Catholic Church had against Christians, and they just scoff at them.

They deny the vast amount of documented History of the Roman Catholic Churches. Like Mormons they deny the Factual, History of their Church. They just say: “Those books were written by people who Hate the Catholic Church.” My reply: “No, those books are documented History by respected Historians. Thousands of the books written about the Catholic Church were written by eye witneAnyone with a little understanding of History and the Roman Catholic Church would never call the Holy Roman Catholic Church Christian. For nearly 2000 years the Catholic Church has had bloody Wars against Christians / Christianity. During the Spanish Inquisition they not only murdered Christians they invented Horrific new methods to cause Painful slow death. Daily Christians were burned at the Stake.

The Catholic Church has a long Bloody History of Murder.

Below is a limited partial timeline of part of the Bloody History of the Roman Catholic Church. Possibly the most tragic one, that concerns the Word of God, is the persecution during the Middle Ages of anyone daring to oppose the Roman Catholic Church. The Bible predicts this, that the saints of the Most High would be persecuted for 1260 years.

Historian J. A. Wylie said this:

It is idle in Rome to say, “I gave you the Bible, and therefore you must believe in me before you can believe in it.” The facts…conclusively dispose of this claim. Rome did not give us the Bible—she did all in her power to keep it from us; she retained it under the seal of a dead language; and when others broke that seal, and threw open its pages to all, she stood over the book, and unsheathing her fiery sword, would permit none to read the message of life, save at the peril of eternal anathema” (emphasis in original).

During these years of oppression in which the masses were kept in ignorance and the priest held sway over every aspect of life, here and there arose individuals willing to shine a light into the darkness. Dave Hunt tells us that because they rejected transubstantiation, “Christians were burned at the stake by Roman Catholics by the hundreds of thousands.”ii

In 1940, French statesman Baron DePonnat stated, “Roman Catholicism was born in blood, has wallowed in blood, and has quenched its thirst in blood, and it is in letters of blood that its true history is written.” Indeed, the history of Papal Rome has been one of brutal torture, slaughter, and mass murder. 

There are Thousands of History and Historical Books that document the Fact that the Catholic Church was not, is not Christian. How can people call the Catholic Church Christian when the Catholic Church has literally Murdered Countless Millions of Christians. Fighting long Wars against Christian Nations.

The Roman Catholic Church’s Bloody Past

1096 Roman Catholic crusaders slaughter half the Jews in Worms, Germany.

1098 Roman Catholic crusaders slaughter almost all of the inhabitants of the city of Antioch.

1099 Roman Catholic crusaders massacre 70,000 Muslims and Jews when they capture Jerusalem.

1208 – 1226 The Albigensian Crusades in southern France. Roman Catholic crusaders slaughter approximately 20,000 citizens of Beziers, France, on July 22, 1209. Albigensian Christians and Catholics were slain. By the time the Roman Catholic armies finished their “crusade,” almost the entire population of southern France (mostly Albigensian Christians) has been exterminated. During the six centuries of papal Inquisition that began in the 13th century, up to 50 million people were killed. Read what J. A. Wylie’s The History of Protestantism has to say about the Crusades against the Abigenses

1236 Roman Catholic crusaders slaughter Jews in the Anjou and Poitou regions of western France. The Catholic crusaders trample to death under their horses 3000 Jews who refuse baptism.

1243 Roman Catholic mobs burn alive all the Jews in Berlitz, Germany (near Berlin).

1298 Roman Catholic mobs burn alive all Jews in Rottingen, Germany.

April 26, 1349 Roman Catholic mobs burn to death all Jews in Germersheim, Germany.

1348 – 1349 The Jews are blamed for the bubonic plague. Author Dave Hunt tells us, “Accused of causing the ‘Black Death’ Jews were rounded up [by Roman Catholic mobs] and hanged, burned, and drowned by the thousands in revenge.”

1389 Roman Catholic mobs murder 3000 Jews in Prague when they refuse to be baptized.

1481 – 1483 At the direction of the Roman Catholic inquisitors, authorities burn at the stake at least 2000 people during the first two years of the Spanish Inquisition.

1540 – 1570 Roman Catholic armies butcher at least 900,000 Waldensian Christians of all ages during this 30-year period.

1550 – 1560 Roman Catholic troops slaughter at least 250,000 Dutch Protestants via torture, hanging, and burning during this ten-year period.

1553 – 1558 Roman Catholic Queen Mary I of England (aka “bloody Mary”) attempts to bring England back under the yoke of Roman Catholic Papal tyranny. During her reign, approximately 200 men and woman are burned to death at the sake. Her victims include bishops, scholars, and other Protestant leaders.

1572 St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. French Roman Catholic soldiers begin killing Protestants in Paris on the night of August 24, 1572. The soldiers kill at least 10,000 Protestants during the first three days. At least 8000 more Protestants are killed as the slaughter spreads to the countryside.

1618 – 1648 The Thirty Years’ War. This bloody, religious war is planned, instigated, and orchestrated by the Roman Catholic Jesuit order and its agents in an attempt to exterminate all the Protestants in Europe. Many countries in central Europe lose up to half their population.

1641 –  1649 Eight years of Jesuit-instigated Roman Catholic butchery of Irish Protestants claims the lives of at least 100,000 Protestants.

1685  French Roman Catholic soldiers slaughter approximately 500,000 French Protestant Huguenots on the orders of Roman Catholic King Louis 14 of France.

Circa 1938 –  1945 Catholic dictators such as Adolf Hitler and Monsignor Tiso slaughter approximately six million Jews in Europe prior to and during World War 2.

1941 – 1945 The Roman Catholic Ustashi in the fascist state of Croatia butcher up to one million Serbian Orthodox Christians. Roman Catholic killer squads are often led by Franciscan priests, monks, and friars. This genocide is choreographed by two Jesuit prelates: Aloysius Stepinac and Ivan Saric.

It is An outright Lie to call Roman Catholics C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien Christians.

From Mary Ann Collins: “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” is the third book in the Narnia series. It directly promotes spells and magic.

Chapter 10 (“The Magician’s Book”) features a book of spells that is on an island inhabited by invisible creatures called Dufflepuds. Lucy works a spell to make the Dufflepuds visible. She goes through a spell book, and it is beautiful and fascinating. Then she finds the right spell and says the words and follows the instructions. And then the Dufflepuds (and Aslan) become visible. Her spell made Aslan visible, and he is pleased with what she did.

Many Christians are treating the Narnia books as being an allegory, with Aslan representing Jesus and the children representing Christians. If you do this with “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” then you portray Jesus as being pleased when Christians do magic and work spells. And you support the idea that that there are “good” spells and “good” magic. That belief is the basis for modern “white” witchcraft. However, the Bible clearly forbids any form of witchcraft:

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.

In the book, the Dufflepuds are ruled by a wizard. He uses magic to rule the Dufflepuds because they aren’t yet mature enough to be ruled directly by Aslan. So there is good magic and a good wizard. This magic prepares people for relationship with Aslan. Again, if Aslan is taken as a symbol for Jesus, then magic prepares people to become Christians. In our modern culture, that would mean that Wicca is a way to get to know Jesus and become His follower.

Back when C.S. Lewis wrote the Narnia stories, Wicca did not exist. Kids who read the books couldn’t experiment with spells. But this is a different world today. Now kids are surrounded by movies and TV shows that promote witchcraft, and they may know kids at their school who dabble in it. (Kids that have Satanic Spell Books and use them to cast Spells.)

What will happen when Disney comes out with a movie of “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader”? Christian kids may wind up feeling free to practice magic. And this could help break down the barrier between Christianity and Wicca. It could “Christianize” witchcraft in the eyes of some Christian kids.

There are some other problems with C.S. Lewis’ widespread influence. Blending God’s truth with occult tales, he laid an enticing foundation for apostasy. (His books are a gateway to Devils, Evil, Spirits. He believed in and practiced “White” Magic. There is no such thing as White Magic. All Magic is Satanic.)

For starters in understanding the man, here is a quotation from a letter that he wrote describing a trip that he and his wife Joy took to Greece in 1960. He wrote,

“I had some ado to prevent Joy and myself from relapsing into Paganism in Attica! At Daphni it was hard not to pray to Apollo the Healer. But somehow one didn’t feel it would have been very wrong”.

Lewis also said that “Christianity fulfilled paganism” and “paganism prefigured Christianity.”[1]

In his autobiography (Surprised by Joy), Lewis tells how at age 13 he abandoned his Anglican faith due to the influence of a school mistress who was involved with “Theosophy, Rosicrucianism, Spiritualism; the whole Anglo-American Occultist tradition.” And Lewis developed a “lust” for the occult that remained with him even after he returned to Anglicanism. He said,

“And that started in me something with which, on and off, I have had plenty of trouble since–the desire for the preternatural, simply as such, the passion for the Occult. Not everyone has this disease; those who have will know what I mean. I once tried to describe it in a novel. It is a spiritual lust; and like the lust of the body it has the fatal power of making everything else in the world seem uninteresting while it lasts.”[2]

Lewis said that he described that lust for the occult in a novel. It occurs in the third book of his science fiction trilogy. A man is in the process of being initiated into an inner ring of scientists who are occultists. They worship demons, which they call “macrobes” (huge, powerful invisible things, as opposed to microbes, which are tiny invisible things).

“Here, here surely at last (so his desire whispered to him) was the true inner circle of all, the circle whose centre was outside the human race–the ultimate secret, the supreme power, the last initiation. The fact that it was almost completely horrible did not in the least diminish its attraction.”[3]

“These creatures [demons]… breathed death on the human race and on all joy. Not despite this but because of this, the terrible gravitation sucked and tugged and fascinated him towards them. Never before had he known the fruitful strength of the movement opposite to Nature which now had him in its grip; the impulse to reverse all reluctance’s and to draw every circle anti-clockwise.” (“That Hideous Strength,” p. 269.)

Note that Lewis said that he had trouble with that lust for the occult ever since his encounter with the Matron in his boys’ school. He wrote that statement in 1955. By then, he had written all but three of his (Narnia) books.[4]

Lewis dedicated his autobiography (“Surprised by Joy”) to Bede Griffiths, a former student of his who became a long-time friend. Griffiths founded a “Christian ashram” in India. He said that Hindu temples are a “sacrament.” And he said, “No one can say in the proper sense that the Hindu, the Buddhist or the Muslim is an ‘unbeliever.’ I would say rather that we have to recognize him as our brother in Christ.”[5] This is not Christian. All roads do not lead to Heaven.

What Bede Griffiths did and said is the logical conclusion of a statement that C.S. Lewis made in “Mere Christianity.”  He said,

“There are people in other religions who are being led by God’s secret influence to concentrate on those parts of their religion which are in agreement with Christianity, and who thus belong to Christ without knowing it. For example, a Buddhist of good will may be led to concentrate more and more on the Buddhist teaching about mercy and to leave in the background (though he might still say he believed) the Buddhist teaching on certain other points. Many of the good Pagans long before Christ’s birth may have been in this position.”[6]

Lewis said that he was strongly influenced by George MacDonald, who was a universalist. MacDonald’s book “Lilith” is based on an occult teaching that Adam was married to a demon named Lilith before he married Eve. By the end of MacDonald’s book, Lilith is redeemed, and Adam says that even the devil will eventually be redeemed.

This universalism shows up in some of Lewis’ fiction books. In “The Great Divorce,” Lewis is in Heaven. He speaks with George MacDonald and asks him about universalism, and MacDonald answers that Lewis cannot understand such things now. In the last of the Narnia books (“The Last Battle”), a pagan makes it to Heaven (“Aslan’s Land”) because of his good works and his good motives, in spite of the fact that he did not believe in Aslan and he worshipped Aslan’s enemy, a false god named Tash.

Lilith shows up in “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” Mr. Beaver tells the children that the White Witch is descended from Lilith, who is the “first wife” of Adam. This could cause confusion, especially for children. Although Mr. Beaver is a fictional character, he is speaking authoritatively about the real world–the real Adam and Eve of the Bible.

Lewis spoke very highly of Charles Williams and his books, so I read all of his books. They are novels that mix darkness and occultism with some insights about Christianity. In “The Greater Trumps,” the hero is a saintly woman who saves the day by doing magic with Tarot cards.

Williams was as much a mixture as his books were. He started out as a serious occultist. He believed Theosophy and other occult teachings, and he joined the Golden Dawn, a group that practices “sex magic,” which is ritual sex that is done for the purpose of getting occult power. (The notorious Satanist, Aleister Crowley, was a member of the Golden Dawn.) Williams left the Golden Dawn and joined the Anglican church, but he kept some of his Theosophical beliefs.

Lewis also had a close friend named Owen Barfield. He dedicated the Narnia books to him and named Lucy after Barfield’s daughter. Barfield was a philosopher who started out with Theosophy and developed his own version of it.

According to Theosophy, the God of the Bible is a tyrant, and Lucifer (the devil) came to rescue mankind from him. Even this dark view of God shows up in C.S. Lewis’ writings.

After his wife Joy died, Lewis wrote “A Grief Observed,” a book describing his thoughts and emotional struggles as a result of her death. The dark Theosophical view of God shows up in this book, as shown in the following quotations.

“Supposing the truth were ‘God always vivisects’?”[7]

“Is it rational to believe in a bad God? Anyway, in a God so bad as all that? The Cosmic Sadist, the spiteful imbecile?”[8]

Lewis didn’t stay there. He vacillated between despair and hope. But in his moments of agony and despair, the Theosophical view of God came back to haunt him.

There is another problem with his messages. I have read all of his books, and I do not recall any reference to the authority of God and to the timelessness of His ways. Lewis’ worldview seems to be based primarily on human feelings, wants and perceptions (including evolution and Freudian psychology). For example, in his last book, The Discarded Image, he tells us that nothing is permanent; everything changes — along with human thought, wants, and speculations:

“No Model is a catalog of ultimate realities, and none is a mere fantasy. Each is a serious attempt to get in all the phenomena known at a given period…. But also, no less surely, each reflects the prevalent psychology of an age almost as much as it reflects the state of that age’s knowledge….”[9]

Lewis ends his book with this prediction:

“It is not impossible that our own Model [for many of us, that refers to the Biblical worldview] will die a violent death, ruthlessly smashed by an unprovoked assault of new facts — unprovoked as the nova of 1572. But I think it is more likely to change when, and because, far-reaching changes in the mental temper of our descendants demand that it should. The new Model will not be set up without evidence, but the evidence will turn up when the inner need for it becomes sufficiently great. It will be true evidence.”[9]

That unbiblical conclusion could easily wipe out any lasting Christian certainty in the minds of his readers! Now compare that personal and subjective speculation with actual certainties of the God who is the sovereign, all-knowing, Creator of all:

1st Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

1st Timothy Chapter 4 speaks against all Roman Catholic False Teachers (All False Teachers.) like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.

Colossians 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Let’s Look more at J.R.R. Tolkien

For “Christians” (I do not think most people who claim to be Christians are. They are in truth caught up in Works based Salvation, Counterfeit Christianity.) who insist on promoting and celebrating the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien as a rich tapestry of Christian allegory and symbolism that powerfully informs their faith. Many sobering facts need to be exposed. The absolute truth is, that Tolkien’s, deep love of Pagan Norse mythology is evident in his Books. His Lord of the Rings Books and the Hobbit are littered with Anti Christian Paganism. You have Wizards, Demonic Creatures, Magic. To call this Christian is a Wicked Lie.

The Truth is there is nothing Christian in anything that Tolkien wrote. People who call Tolkien’s Books Christian are Ignorant of what Christianity teaches. They have been deceived by False “Christians” by unsaved Pastors, Priests etc…

The evidence is Vast: Neo-Pagans, Gnostics and other Satanic Occult-based religions absolutely adore Tolkien’s works, but are not turning to Christianity for spiritual understanding. Instead, they are extracting new beliefs out of his writings that support and bolster their own alternative religions.

Why? Tolkien, indiscriminately wove many Biblical-condemned occult elements throughout his narratives to enhance the pagan mystique and mythic landscape of his stories, this is Theosophy and Neo-paganism.

Tolkien’s extensive cosmology, created outside the bounds of Genesis and other books of the Bible, reflects in many ways the esoteric understanding of Gnosticism, the ancient enemy of Biblical Christianity, to the delight and approval of most modern-day gnostics.

Tolkien’s published letters and essays reveal his true Pagan Beliefs which are Clearly opposed to Christianity: 1) the frequent veiled assertions that his myths were not invented, but “recorded” by him as revealed ancient truths, perhaps divinely inspired; and 2) his regressed ancestral memories of Atlantis which hint at a belief in both reincarnation and Plato’s imaginary “island of Atlas.”

These are just the facts concerning Tolkien’s literary works. It is obvious why the growing Neo-Pagan communities Love Tolkien’s Satanic books. The extensive proof of this dangerous syncretism in Tolkien’s mythology is compelling and overwhelming, as revealed in the groundbreaking analysis by Markus Altena Davidsen in his 2014 doctoral thesis, The Spiritual Tolkien Milieu: A Study of Fiction-based Religion. Tolkien created his own Religion. A Religion countless people worship today because of Tolkien’s Satanic Beliefs.

How to be Saved:

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.

Neither Paul nor Silas told the Jailer to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

The Jailer Believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, and he was Saved.

Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ is not receiving Jesus and it is not making Jesus the Lord of your Life.

A person who Believes on the Lord Jesus Christ has believed the Gospel only to Save them.

The Gospel:

1 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:

Explaining Zionism / Christian Zionism.

Psalms 122:6

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.”

Zionism IS Wrongly Being Attacked.

Attacking Zionism Is Jewish Hate. It is Anti-Semitic, A Movement Against The Nation of Israel. Most of the Muslim World Attacks Zionism because they do not want the Nation of Israel to Exist.

Zionism is Simply the Right for the Nation of Israel to Exist.

The Bible is Clear about the Rebirth of Israel as a Nation. It is Clear that God will Bless all Nations that Bless Israel and Curse all Nations that Harm Israel.

Genesis 12:1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Numbers 24:9

“He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.”

The Zionist Movement:

Zionism is a Jewish Religious and Political effort that successfully reestablished the Nation of Israel. Zionists efforts brought thousands of Jews from around the world back to their ancient homeland in the Middle East. The Zionist movement has existed for hundreds of years. Modern Zionism started in the late 19th century. Jews throughout the world were suffering extreme Anti-Semitism.

For example, in 1894 a Jewish officer in the French army named Alfred Dreyfus was falsely accused and convicted of treason. This event, which became known as the “Dreyfus Affair,” sparked Anger, Outrage among Jewish people and many others. This may have been the incident that caused the widespread desire for Jews to go home to reestablish the Nation of Israel. Persecuted Jews everywhere traveled to the Biblical Land of Israel.

Modern Zionism was established by Theodor Herzl in 1897.

Herzl was a Jewish Journalist from Austria. Herzl believed that the Jewish people would not survive unless they reestablished the Nation of Israel.

After the Dreyfus Affair, Herzl wrote Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State), a pamphlet that called for the world to recognize the Jewish Homeland in the Biblical Land of Israel. In 1897, Herzl organized the Fierst Zionist Congress, which met in Basel, Switzerland. He also formed and became the first president of the World Zionist Organization. Although Herzl died in 1904 years before Israel was officially declared a State. He is considered the father of modern Zionism.

Past Leaders of Zionism / Christian Zionism

Christian Zionism’s origin reaches back to the 1st Century Gentile Christians. Who supported the Biblical Nation of Israel. Modern Christian Zionism grew up with mainstream Zionism beginning in the late 16th Century. The following are some of the more prominent Christian Zionists from the last five centuries:

  • 1587 – Francis Kett is burned alive for expressing his belief in a Jewish return to the Land of Israel based on Biblical Prophecies.
  • Late 1700’s – Thomas Newton, Bishop of Bristol, expresses belief that the Jews would soon be restored to their ancient homeland; condemns growing anti-Jewish sentiment in Europe.
  • Late 1800’s – William E. Blackstone, dubbed the “American Christian Father of Zionism,” advocates the return of the Jews to the Land of Israel. See: Reagan, Blackstone and Why American Christians Really Support Israel
  • 1845-1931 – William Hechler, Chaplain of the British Embassy in Vienna, works side-by-side with Theodor Herzl to bring about the goals of the Zionist cause; attends the First Zionist Congress in 1897; dedicates 30 years to the Zionist cause, dying only a short 17 years before the dream is realized.
  • In addition, numerous Christian Zionists risked their lives to save Jewish lives during the Nazi Holocaust. Their heroic deeds are commemorated at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem.

The list could go on and on. The point is that Christian Zionism is a very real ideology. A commitment by believers in the God of Israel to do all in their power, even risk their lives, to work for the fulfillment of God’s Word.

Christian Zionism has grown over the years. Millions of Christians from all over the world believe that there is no other Moral, Biblical option than to support Israel and the Jewish people by any means.

World War Two

Millions of Jews living in Europe were stripped of all of their human rights. They were openly murdered in public, taken from their homes and put in Death Camps. During Russian Pogroms and under Nazi rule the Jewish Genocide was accomplished. Most historians estimate that at least 6 million Jews were killed in Europe during the Holocaust. After the Holocaust ended, Zionist leaders actively promoted the idea of an independent Jewish nation, the Nation of Israel. After the British army’s withdrawal from the Middle East, Israel was officially declared an independent state on May 14, 1948.

Today

Israel is still growing in Population. Having a current population of nearly 10 million. The rebirth of Israel was greatly helped by Israel’s 1950 Law of Return. This Law allowed Jews born anywhere in the world to have the right to become an Israeli citizen, while other people aren’t granted this privilege.

Christian Zionism Explained:

The Right for the Nation of Israel to exist in the Land God Gave to them according to the Scriptures.

Deuteronomy 30:1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee,

2 And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

3 That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.

4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

5 And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

6 And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

7 And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

9 And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

Jeremiah 31:10 Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

11 For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.

12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord.

15 Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.

16 Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border.

Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

Christians (Millions of Jews in Israel are Christian Zionists) who believe God is not Done with the Nation of Israel. The Nation of Israel will always exist in the Land God Gave to them. The Jewish people have the God Given Right to all the Land that God Gave to them.

Christians should be politically active in advancing this. The former Israeli ambassador to the United States provoked a huge controversy when he said that the State of Israel should realize that American Christian Zionist political support is more important than the support coming from the American Jewish community. He was speaking of Anti-Zionists Jews in America. There are Millions of Jewish Zionists in The USA. The World Media wants to deny that the Millions Christian Jewish Zionists Exist. They paint a False Picture. That All Christian Zionists are NON-JEWISH. In truth nearly a majority of the Jews in the World are Christians and not followers of Judaism.

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has often said publicly that Jewish Zionism would not have succeeded without Christian Zionist support.

I Defend and I stand with Christian Zionism.

It is Anti-Semitic to be against Christian Zionism. The Mainstream Media, almost all Politicians in the World are against Christian Zionism. They are against the Nation of Israel. There is non-stop 24/7 propaganda against Christian Zionism.

Anti-Semetic Counterfeit Christians.

The Pseudo-Christian Cult “World Council of Churches” has been crusading against the Christian pro-Israel Jewish community for decades. Slandering, bashing Christian Zionism is a favorite topic of False Christian Churches and of numerous Jewish hating Bloggers / YouTube Channels.

“Dangerous Fundamentalist Heresy,” Slanderous speech: from British, European, American, all Anti-Jewish preachers who lack respectable theological pedigrees. These detractors charge that Christian Zionists share a dark hidden agenda of forced conversions of Jews. They also charge Christian Zionists with being the main obstacle to Middle East peace due to their unquestioning support for the Nation of Israel.

For at least 40 years, these people / churches have been at the forefront of a crusade against the Christian Pro-Israel community. In recent years, new players have jumped on the bandwagon against Israel and its Christian supporters. These include Evangelicals (Evangelical is an overly broad label that includes Churches / people that do not believe, teach Bible Salvation).

One of the latest expressions of this Unchristian Evangelical hostility to Christian Zionism comes out of the respected Fuller Theological Seminary in California. After leading a “study mission” to Israel, two professors – Dr. David P. Gushee and Dr. Glen H. Stassen – published an open letter to America’s Christian Zionists, whom the authors accused of being not only sinful but producing sin in others. In their most outrageous charge, they warned that Christian Zionists will be the cause of any upcoming war against Israel, including a nuclear attack by Iran – and even suggested Israel might be deserving of such a conflagration.

Christian Zionism seeks to refute the Misinterpretation of scripture known as “Replacement Theology.”

This effort is based largely on the Book of Romans Chapters 9-11, in which Paul clearly states that Israel is the spiritual root of Christianity’s hope and faith in the God of Israel.

Beware of New Covenant Theology. It is nothing less than Replacement Theology a False Doctrine, a False Gospel. This teaching claims God is done with the Jews and the Christian Church now gets all the Covenants God made with Israel.

The New Covenant is for the Nation of Israel:

Jeremiah 31:

31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

In the New Testament Covenant is used 18 times. Every time it is a Covenant with Israel.

In Romans 11: God is telling us that he is not done with Israel and that all his Covenants with Israel are still in effect.

The Covenant and the Promise of Jesus the Messiah for Israel is that Jesus would take away all of their Sins (The Nation of Israel). This is not a Covenant with the Church, with Christians.

Romans 11:

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

Salvation came to everyone through Abraham. Galatians 3 makes it clear that Abraham’s children the Jews are not replaced by the Church. It says the Church is blessed because of Abraham, because of the Nation of Israel. And because of God’s promise of Jesus to Abraham and to the Jews.

Galatians 3:

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.

Galatians 3 summarized: God promised Abraham Salvation through Faith in Jesus Alone. The Law was given to show mankind their Sin and the need for a Savior. No one can be Saved by the Law Now or in the Past. Eternal Life is given to all that Believe on Jesus Only for their Eternal Salvation.

Jesus is the Everlasting Covenant that was promised to Abraham. Jesus sacrificed himself to give everyone who believes in him Eternal Life.

Hebrews 13:20

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,”

We are Saved by Believing the Gospel Only:

1 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:

Homosexuality, Transsexuals, LGBTQIA+, the Baphomet vs. Christianity

In Christianity God created Marriage.

Homosexuality is against nature. It is Satan’s direct attack on God. Man was made in God’s image. It is perverse to corrupt God’s image with Homosexual Sex.

Genesis 1:27

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

Genesis 2:21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

God made Man and Woman. He did not create any other Genders. God established Marriage between a Man and a Woman.

Mark 10:2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

The Bible is clear that Homosexuality is a Sin.

Leviticus 18:22

“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

Leviticus 20:13

“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”

Genesis 13:13

“But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.”

The word Sodomy comes from this City of Sodom. Anal Sex is Sodomy.

The Bible is very clear on Homosexuality. People who want to live life as Homosexuals will ignore Bible verses that clearly teach that Homosexuality is a Sin.

Satanist worship a Transsexual Devil the Baphomet. There is nothing harmless about the LGBTQIA+ community, it is Satanic. They are taking children away from their parents because the parents will not allow their children ( as young as 5 years old ) to have their penises cut off. For Girls to have their breast cut off. This is Horrific, Evil.

The LGBTQIA+ Agenda is not new. It is part of Satan’s original Agenda. It is the Evil that happened in Sodom and Gomorrah.

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.

People who reject God will fall into the most Vile Sins as described in Romans Chapter one.

These people of old are just like the Counterfeit Christians in the USA around the Earth. They reject God and go about making False gods. False Religions to worship.

Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

The people of Sodom and Gomorrha were sexual deviants. They had no respect for any kind of authority. They would not obey the Laws of the appointed Leaders. They Hated God.

The way of Cain? The way of Cain refers to any individual who attempts to approach God on his or her own terms rather than on God’s terms. The way of Cain describes any Religious System that attempts to Earn God’s favor by Works and Rituals rather than by our Faith in God’s Grace Alone. Cain murdered his brother Abel because God accepted Abel’s offering but rejected his offering of Works.

Balaam:

Revelation 2:14

“But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.”

Deuteronomy 23:4 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. 

5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee. 

Balaam had intended to curse the Israelites.

He told the Moabites to seduce the Israelites with Baal worship, read Numbers Chapter 25. Because of Balaam the Israelites worshipped Baal and committed many Vile Sins.

Part of Baal worship was to throw children into the Fire. Child sacrifice. The Abortions committed in the USA and and around the world is Satanic Baal worship. It is the same as the child sacrifice in Baal Worship. In the USA children have been having Satanic Sex change surgeries for decades. In the 1930s medical Sex changes became popular in the USA, in Europe too. So the current state of the United States has a long history. The LGBTQIA+ agenda did not just start, it has been on going since the early 1900s.

https://vigilantcitizen.com/vigilantreport/did-the-opening-ceremony-of-the-2022-commonwealth-games-contain-baal-worship/

Why does the United States of America allow this?

This is nothing new for the USA. Children having sex changes has been happening here in the USA for decades.

The Baphomet:

The USA is called a Christian Nation.

Please let’s be honest. The USA has never been a Christian Nation. The USA was modeled after Ancient Rome the most wicked perverted Nation in History. Rome from the start to the finish was a Homosexual Transgender Nation. Almost all of the men were GAY, or what people today call Bisexuals, men that have sex with men and women.

The “Christian” USA never once mentioned Jesus or Christianity in the US Constitution. Our form of Government is a Republic. Modeled after the Roman Republic. Our Laws were taken from Roman Laws not from the Bible. The Founders did add the Bill of Rights and Amendments that gives the USA Citizens protections from the Government and Freedoms that no other Nation has. This is Outstanding. Having the 1A, the 2A sets the USA apart from the World. In the USA there is Freedom to Worship. The Freedom to own and bear arms. I am thankful for this.

I am proud to be an US citizen. I am a 20 plus year, Navy and Army Veteran. I will not Lie though and say that the USA is now or has ever been a Christian Nation.

The American Revolution did not Free the Salves. The Civil war nearly 100 years later ended Slavery. The KKK and other Murderous Hate Groups were created after the Civil War to murder Jews, Blacks and Whites who supported the Jews and Blacks. These Hate Groups thrived for another 100 years in this so-called Christian USA. A Christian Nation does not enslave 25% or more of the population. People do not realize the fact that there were more white slaves in the USA than Black Slaves. The treatment of Native Americas was as bad or worse than the treatment of Blacks.

The Southern States in the United States of America are called the Bible Belt.

These were the Slave States. Southerners all during Slavery called themselves Christians. Beware of the Label “Christian” it is meaningless. In the name of Christianity Evil men have done Horrific Evils. The KKK lynched families and burned crosses than went to Church. This is typical of the “Christians” in the South.

What I am saying is that Hollywood, the Leftist Democrats and RINOs could never have grown up and existed in a Christian USA. The United States is by polling agencies said to be 75% Christian. If this was true we would not have Abortion, all the Pedophilia, all the Sex Trafficking, the LGBTQIA+ agenda, cities like war zones full of Theft, Rape and Murder.

More than Half of the Republican Party is Pro-Abortion. These people call themselves Christians. They are running around having Sex with as many people as they want to and use Abortion as Birth Control. These Hypocrites call themselves Christians. They behave no differently than Democrats.

More. What the Bible says about Homosexuality:

Genesis 19:

1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. 12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.

14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:

19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.

22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;

25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:

28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

Lot was a man of God. He became corrupted wanting wealth.

2nd Peter 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

Lot is called, “just Lot.” Why?

We do not see Lot doing anything good. To stop God from destroying Sodom, Gomorrah and the cities of the plain all Lot had to do was to Save his family and servants. Lot could not do that.

Lot was a Believer in Jesus Christ. (God spoke to Adam, Eve, Abraham, Moses, many men in the Bible about Jesus the promised Messiah. The Scriptures foretold of Jesus coming, the Old Testament Scriptures.) There is only one plan of Salvation in the Bible not multiple plans of Salvation.

Lot failed at Sharing the Word of God with his Family. He was OK with living in Sodom one of the wickedest Cities ever. He just kept his head down and tried to ignore the Evil happening all around him.

The United States is the way it is because actual Christians, today are behaving just like Lot did. Putting their kids in the public schools. Doing nothing to fix what is broken and Evil in the USA.

How to Be Saved:

Acts 16:30 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.

If you Believe on Jesus than you Believe 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:

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.

Please if you have not Asked Jesus to Save you Please Ask Jesus right now to Save you.

As soon as you Believe the Gospel as the only way to be Saved than you will be immediately Saved.

Jesus Said, I Never Knew You: Depart from me…

The 7 Words No One Wants To Hear: I Never Knew You: Depart From Me…

Matthew Chapter 7 is twisted by False Teachers to Teach a Works based Salvation.

Matthew 7:23 “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Why did Jesus not know them? Because they were not Saved. They never Asked Jesus to Save them. They Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation. They were trusting in their own Self-Righteousness to get them into Heaven.

John Chapter 10 explains their Rejection perfectly.

John 10:22 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.

Jesus did plainly say that he was the promised: Christ, the Messiah. He was daily reading in the Temple proclaiming he was the Messiah foretold in the scriptures. Jesus Preached his coming Kingdom everywhere he went. Jesus Declared himself God and King.

John Chapter 5 is a perfect example.

John 5:17 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.

Jesus was Crucified because he Claimed to be the Christ, the Messiah foretold in the Scriptures. Verse 18 is clear the Jews sought to Kill Jesus because he said he was God.

Jesus Daily made it clear that he was God in the Flesh that came to Save the World from their Sins.

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

Right here in verse 14 Jesus is Telling the People that he would be Crucified. Moses put a serpent on a wooden stick and lifted it high so everyone could see. The people who looked upon it were Saved.

Numbers 21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

John 3:15 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.

John 3:14-18 are Jesus own words describing how he came to Save the World. Everyone who Believes in Jesus will be immediately Saved.

The Jews in Chapter 10 are the same Jews that are here in Chapter 5. Like all Unbelievers / False Teachers, from the past and from today they instantly Rejected the Truth when it was told to them. They endlessly asked Jesus to keep repeating himself. They constantly badgered Jesus with the same questions.

All throughout the Gospels. These Unbelievers and the False Religious Leaders (the Sadducees and the Pharisees) continuously demanded Jesus to submit to their Authority. They Rejected Jesus as the Messiah. Today is no different. “Christian” Churches Reject Jesus as The Savior. They add Works to the Gospel. “You must Repent of your Sins to be Saved.” “You have to be Baptized to be Saved.” “You have to speak in tongues to prove you are Saved.” And on and on and on with False Conditions to Salvation…

John 5:19 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.

Verses 19-21 Explain Jesus relationship with God the Father. Jesus is God the Son, the second member of the Holy Trinity. God is one God in 3 Person’s. We see that Jesus is equal to God the Father. Whatever God the Father does, Jesus can do too. It is important to know that God knows we can not comprehend this.

1st Timothy 3:16 “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

Jesus being God in the flesh is a great mystery. Our human minds can not process this. This is why Christianity is called the Christian Faith. It takes Faith to Believe this, to Believe the Bible. The Truth of the Bible is proven through Historical Facts. Jesus life, Crucifixion, and resurrection are all Historical facts.

John 5:22 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.

Verses 22, 23 Jesus is saying he is God. The Jews present understood this.

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 Salvation, Eternal Life verse. The Bible teaches a person is Saved by Believing Jesus Words given to us in the Bible. What words in particular? In particular Believe on me, Believe in me. Jesus says this over and over and over again. Jesus’s Apostles his Disciples say this too. Salvation is Belief in Jesus Only to Save You. To Believe the Gospel to Save You.

John Chapter 3 teaches we are Saved by Believing in Jesus. Believing that Jesus came to Save the world. Jesus declared himself to be the promised Messiah. The Old Testament teaches that the Messiah would die for the Sins of the World. Just Read Isaiah 53.

Jesus opened to Isaiah 53 in the Synagogue he said these Scriptures refer to me. Jesus said that he came to fulfill these Scriptures promises. This is exactly why the Jewish Leaders sought to Kill him because Jesus claimed to be the Promised Messiah that would Die for the Sins of the World. They Rejected Jesus and went about working their way to Heaven. The Church Leaders of today are doing the same thing.

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.

Jesus’s miracles: feeding thousands of people, healing the sick, raising the Dead were done to Prove that he is God, the Promised Messiah.

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.

Verses 26-30 Jesus is calling them out for not Believing in him. They are not his Sheep because they have not Believed in him. Jesus is again explaining that he is God who gives Eternal Life, which no one can take away from those who have Believed in him.

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.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

Verses 31-39 The Jews Intended to Stone Jesus to Death. Because he in their words is committing Blasphemy. By calling himself God / the Son of God. In verse 38 even though they want to Murder him, Jesus is pleading with them. To Believe in him because of all of the Miracles he has done. Jesus has Incredible Mercy.

Matthew Chapter 7.

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.

Take the Narrow Gate.
Take the Narrow Gate

People (People who claim to be Christians) do not understand verses 13 and 14. There are numerous illustrations of the Straight Narrow Path to Heaven, and the Wide Broad Path to Hell. None of these illustrations come close to getting it right. The typical illustration is the Broad Path (The way to Hell) being 3 times wider than the Narrow Path leading to Heaven. No that is not close to right. (The illustration I found above is just equal paths. That illustration is just showing that you have to make a Choice to either Accept Jesus and Go to Heaven or to Reject Jesus and Go to Hell. It shows 1 person on the Narrow Path and a lot of people on the Wide Path which is accurate.)

The Narrow Path in a more realistic Biblical illustration would be a Narrow River 3 feet wide just a stream. While the Broad Path would be the Pacific Ocean. Yes this is what Jesus is saying. Vs. 14 “…and few there be that find it.”

Few is an incredibly small number. Jesus wants Everyone to know that of the Billions of people that are Born from the Beginning of time to the End of time there will be Few people that get Saved. My Belief is that A Million or Two Million people of everyone who has ever been born will be Saved. Everyone Else Will Go to Hell / The Lake of Fire because they Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

Most Pastors / Bible Teachers (Almost all of these people are Lost) Act like the Numbers are: (Let’s say that 10 Billion is the total number of people who will have ever lived.) out of 10 Billion People 7 Billion will go to Hell / the Lake of Fire. And 3 Billion will go to Heaven. That is not what Few means. That is still a huge number of Saved people.

Another example would be: A mother tells her son that he can open the new bag of Candy. (The Bag is marked, 500 pieces of candy.) You can have a few pieces, do not take more than 3. That is what a Few means. 3 out of 500 is a Few. As the number grows the ratio stays small like a Million or Two Million out of 10 Billion. In this case the number of a Million or Two million would be Few. Even though a Million taken by itself is a Large Number.

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

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Verses 15-20 are twisted to teach Works Salvation. The entire context is in verse 15: “Beware of False Prophets…” everything in verses 15-20 is talking about False Prophets not anyone else.

These False Teachers are Corrupt. Jesus contrasts them with a Good Tree, which is a God called Preacher / Pastor / Teacher. These Good Ministers of God will Bring forth Good Fruit, Good Works. But the False Teachers can not produce anything but Bad Fruit, Bad Works, because they are not Saved.

Verses 15-20 does not teach that people have to Do Good Works to go to Heaven. That a Person can do enough Good Works to Earn their way to Heaven. These verses are not talking about personal Salvation, about how a person is Saved. Salvation is not even mentioned. Today’s False Teachers put Salvation in these verses when Salvation is never the topic. False Teachers is the topic.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Again False Teachers Twist this verse to Teach Works Salvation. They say see: “…but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” So you have to Work your way to Heaven. You must have enough Good Works to Go to Heaven.

This passage does not say anything about doing Good Works. It says doeth the will of my Father. Here is the Will of God the Father:

John 6:39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

1st 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.

Simply put God’s Will is that Everyone would be Saved, to have Eternal Life.

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Verse 22 completely refutes False Teachers that Teach you have to Work your way to Heaven. (Repent of Sin, be Baptized, etc.) Here they are Telling Jesus they should go to Heaven because of all of their Wonderful Works. Because of Everything Good they Did for him. You can do Nothing to Work you Way to Heaven. Salvation is 100% the Work of Jesus Alone.

Romans 4:3 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.

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Jesus reply: I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME…

Jesus clearly was not impressed with their Self-Righteous Good Works. In fact Jesus called their Good Works Iniquity. It is Vile to Say to Jesus, Your Blood Atonement is not Good Enough to get me into Heaven. I will (I have to do) do Good Works to add to your Sacrifice. Jesus Your Blood Atonement is Not Good Enough…

That is the Biggest Insult you could say / do to Jesus. This is Rejecting Jesus as your Savior.

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Verses 24-29 Are Jesus explaining that People who Trust in Him Only for Salvation are Wise. Everyone who Rejects Jesus is Foolish.

We are Saved by Believing the Gospel Only for our Salvation. 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:

Is The Sinner’s Prayer Biblical?

The Sinner’s Prayer is Biblical. Beware of the Repent of Sin Sinner’s Prayer.

Type The Sinner’s Prayer in a search engine like Google or Yahoo. You will Find Satan’s UnBiblical Sinner’s Prayer. Almost ALL “Christian” Tracts and Publications Publish Satan’s False Sinner’s Prayer. The Sinner’s Prayer is Biblical.

Do not Blindly Believe what you see online, in print. Always do your own research. I will show you that The Sinner’s Prayer is Biblical. Is in the Bible.

What is a Prayer? A Prayer is simply talking with Jesus / God. Jesus told people how to be Saved. He said Ask me. Believe in me.

The Woman at the Well.

John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

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.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

Jesus told the Samaritan Woman. (The woman at the well.) If she would have Asked of him. He would have given her Living Water. Eternal Life. She did Ask Jesus. And Jesus Saved her.

This is a Sinner’s Prayer. Today the only way to talk with Jesus is through Prayer. Jesus offered Salvation and the Samaritan Woman Asked Jesus to Save her. Salvation is that Simple. What happened? She Believed in Jesus. She Believed Jesus Words. Ask Jesus to Save You and he will.

Luke 23 A Sinner’s Prayer.

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 Jesus to Save him. And Jesus did.

Today the only way to talk with Jesus is in Prayer. Pray and Ask Jesus to Save you. This is The Sinner’s Prayer.

Why do people, Churches say a Sinners Prayer will not Save you? Why do they say it is not in the Bible? In the Bible Jesus tells people to Ask for Salvation. We see people Asking to be Saved. Why do they deny the Sinner’s Prayer? The Answer is they are Lost. They are working for Satan.

It is a Lie. It is EVIL. When Religious People. Pastors. Evangelists. Say that you will Go to Hell. If you Ask Jesus to Save You. If you say The Sinner’s Prayer. Yes, they say this exactly. They claim Asking Jesus to Save you is a Work. They call Asking Jesus to Save you Works Salvation.

False Teacher’s Falsely Accuse people. Who Ask Jesus to Save them in a Sinner’s Prayer. Of Believing a False Gospel.

They say a Person cannot be saved by Asking Jesus to Save them. “Saying The Sinner’s Prayer. Will do nothing for a person.” “It will make Lost people think they are Saved.”

Many say this is “Easy Believism.” Easy Believism is a term made up by lordship Salvationist. They deny the Bible. And say You have to Repent of Sin. Forsake Sin. Make Jesus the Lord of your Life. Turn From Sin. Give Your Life to Jesus to be Saved. They have a lot of terms they make up that are not in the Bible.

What is 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:

We are Saved by believing the Gospel.

Verse 1 You Receive. How do you Receive something? You Accept it. Like when the mail carrier Gives You a Package. Just seeing the package does nothing. You have not Received the Package until you have Accepted it. Taken it. The people in Corinth. They heard the Gospel preached unto them. And they Accepted it. They received it. Which means they Believed it.

Look at verse 2. “By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. What Paul Preached is recorded in Romans.

Paul wrote 1st Corinthians and Romans.

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.

Paul said which WE Preach. WE? Yes, Jesus, All of Jesus Disciples.

Dispensationalist, IFB Baptists, teach many different Gospels. They say that Paul Preached His own Gospel. Jesus Had his own Gospel. Peter Had Another Different Gospel. Right there is 3 different Gospels.

The Bible has ONLY ONE TRUE GOSPEL. Jesus and Paul warned us of False Gospel’s.

Galatians 1:3 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.

There is only One True Gospel.

As soon as your Church. “Christians.” Start talking to you about other Gospel’s. Saying that the Bible has many different Plans of Salvation. You need to RUN. RUN from them. Do not go back to that Church.

Dr. Peter S. Ruckman admits in his Books. And in Sermons. That in the Book of Acts there were at least 7 different Gospels Preached. That is 7 different ways to be Saved. He is not alone in this False Teaching. This is what Dispensationalist Teach.

In 1st Corinthians and in Romans Paul explains how a person is Saved.

You, cannot say Paul is lying in one place. And telling the Truth in another place. Well, people say exactly that. Some deny both 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 and Romans Chapter 10. They also Deny the whole book of John.

This sounds incredible but it is the Truth. These False Teachers deny these Scriptures. Because the Word Repent is not used. Only verses that include the word Repent, are Salvation verses according to them. 

They Falsely define Repentance / Repent. They define Repent as, Repent of Sin. Repent of Sin is not in the Bible. Repentance = Belief in Jesus. Because Repentance means to Change your mind from unbelief in Jesus to Belief in Jesus.

False Teachers

Satan does not want people to Pray and Ask Jesus to Save them.

If you do not Ask Jesus to Save you than YOU ARE NOT SAVED.

It is clear that when you Believe on Jesus you are in fact Praying to Jesus. You are Saying The Sinner’s Prayer. We have many thoughts in our heads. Thinking about Believing on Jesus is not Believing on Jesus.

For example. Ask People what the Gospel is? Many people will say John 3:16. Many people will say that Jesus died for the Sins of the World.

There is not a lot of Ignorance about what the Gospel is. The majority of Lost people you ask will correctly tell you the Gospel. A big reason for this is TV and Movies Love Mocking Christian’s, Christianity. People on TV, in the Movies will Mockingly Say things like. “Yes, I know Jesus Loves Me. He Died for all of My Sins. He wants to Save me. Blah, Blah, Blah.”

Lost people do know. That Jesus, Died, was buried and he Rose from the Dead. To Save the World from their Sins. That is in their minds. In their thoughts.  Knowing the Gospel is not Believing the Gospel.

If You Believe the Gospel You will Ask Jesus to Save You.

“I Believe in Jesus.” But you Never Asked Jesus to Save You. This Does Not sound like a Person who Believes the Gospel. Who has Believed in Jesus Only to Save them.

The last example. You can Believe that Tylenol will take away your headache. That is a great Belief. But until you actually take the Tylenol you will still have your headache.

Salvation is something you have to Accept. Receive. Ask for. The Thief on the Cross Asked Jesus to Save him. The Samaritan Woman Asked Jesus to Save her. Jesus told the Samaritan Woman, if you would have ASKED.

I will Believe Jesus over anyone Else.

Jesus said ASK. Yes, Jesus said ASK to Be Saved. Everyone Saying you will Go to Hell. If You say the Sinner’s Prayer. They are Going to Hell. Do not Go to Hell Believing them.

Praying The Sinner’s Prayer is Biblical. You are doing what it Says in Romans 10:13. Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

How do you call on the name of the Lord today? Well, You Pray.

Beware of False Teachers.

The Flesh Versus The Spirit

Our Internal Struggle. The Flesh Versus The Spirit.

If you are a Christian your Flesh will fight against your spirit. The Flesh Versus The Spirit. This constant struggle is a tough daily battle. We fight to control our thoughts. Our minds will drift. We will not always know what we are thinking about. Our deep thoughts we are not usually conscience of. Many times we are spacing out and suddenly become aware of what we were dreaming about. X-Rated thoughts.

It is a fight to keep our thoughts clean. And not full of thoughts of revenge against people who have wronged us. To not lust for attractive people we see, or may know. To not dream about Bad things (Things we enjoyed doing. Sinful things.) we have done in the past or hope to do in the future.

Galatians 5:17 “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”

One proof that a Person is a Christian is they Struggle with Sin. For most Lost people Sin is a way of life. Sin is not something they Worry about. They will have Sex with whoever they want to. When they want to. If they can make it happen. Replace Sex with: Drugs, Drinking any Vice / Sin depending on the person.

Most people spend all day and night thinking of what Sins they want to commit. Feelings of Guilt never cross their minds. Their sinful plans, how to successfully get away with Sin, are Devious.

They commit Adultery without Remorse. They commit crimes that if they were caught at would put them in jail. The thought of being caught, being exposed, is their only Fear. The desire to Sin out weighs their caution.

A Christian is a Sinner. Many False Teachers Lie and Say that a Christian cannot Sin. The Bible calls them Liars.

Christians Struggle with Sin.

Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Legalistic Churches twist this verse. Liberty means Christians are in Control of their own lives. This goes against Calvinism. Against the Lie that God is in Control. No God is not in Control. God gives us LIBERTY to Control our own lives, to make our own decisions.

Christian Liberty

Liberty means if I want to drink coffee it is OK. Many Churches say it is a Sin to consume caffeine. Liberty means I can own a TV. Many Churches say it is a Sin to own a TV. There are numerous other things I could list. The point is Christians can live doing what they feel is Right. It is not Wrong to live according to the conscience God gave you.

Galatians 15:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Too many Pastors think LOVE is a 4 letter word. Yes they Mock what they call the False Love Gospel. They are Lost if they do not realize that the Gospel is about Love.

Christians go to Churches where the Love of God is Mocked. Where Love is considered a weakness. Men who are Kind, Loving, Always Happy are called Effeminate in many so called Christian Churches. These False Churches have no Love in them. Many IFB Churches are like this.

People / Churches who do not Love others are not Christian.

15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

There are many other verses like this one. I have discovered that the Worst people in the world are “Christians” I am not saying these people are Saved. I am saying Christian Churches are filled with Fake Christians that Destroy people’s lives and cause Churches to Split, to End.

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

This takes time. A person does not get Saved and on day one know how to be a Spiritual Christian. It takes time to grow into a Spiritual Christian. Time in the Bible, on your knees talking with Jesus.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

If you never struggle with Sin than maybe you are not Saved. A Christian should not easily Sin. Christians should have an internal conflict before they indulge in Sin.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

The Law has never Saved anyone. A Saved person has the Spirit of God inside of them. Jesus fulfilled the Law. Freeing man from trying to keep the Law which was an impossible task. Our Salvation Lies in Jesus not in trying to keep the Law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 

Verses 19-21 do not mean that to Go to Heaven we have to Repent of Sin.

That We must Forsake Sin, Turn from Sin to be Saved. These verses list the Sins of the Flesh. A Lost Person’s Sins are attached to their Flesh. A Lost person will pay for their Sins in Hell. A Saved person’s Sins have been forgiven by Jesus who Paid for their Sins in Full.

A Christian to be part of The Kingdom of God has to earn that right. The Kingdom of God is a real literal Kingdom. Christians cannot live their Lives sold out to Sin, living like the Lost World. Do not twist what I am saying. I am not Saying to be Saved you have to Earn it. I am saying that Heaven has Earned positions that will be given to people who have Earned them. Salvation is 100% the work of Jesus. But you will Earn your place in Heaven by how you live your life on this Earth. Your role in Eternity will be determined by your Christian service.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Verses 22-26 Christians should have the fruit of the Spirit. Christians should live in the Spirit not in their rotten Flesh. Christians should not Provoke other Christians. Be full of Envy and desire Glory which is Vain.

1st Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”

All Christians need to Stand and Fight against Satan and his minions.

Lay hold on eternal Life: You are Saved. Grasp the reality you will live forever with Jesus. Lay hold, embrace Jesus your Saviour. Live for Jesus.

Once a person is Saved they become a target of Satan and powerful wicked spiritual beings.

Ephesians 6:12 “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.”

Satan and his Devils are real. There is a spiritual realm which exists. but we cannot see it, that fights against us. You can feel these Evil spirits though. For example, have you ever physically felt someone else’s Hatred for you.

If you are Saved you can physically feel Evil. I have felt other people’s Hatred of me. Sometimes I feel the Evil spirits that are influencing the person who Hates me. Other times I am feeling the spirit of the person who Hates me plus the Evil spirits.

I had a Devil possessed man in my Church.

I knew he had at least one Devil in him. The Devil in him had spoken directly to me several different times. This Devil would laugh at me. “He is just playing with you. You are pathetic a joke. He Hates You. He Hates Jesus. We Hate you both.” 

This is something that cannot be faked. Because you can feel the Devil’s unclean spirit. The physical transformation is Eerie. There is a voice change and a physical change. When you look into the eyes you know you are speaking to a Devil not a human being.

I was surprised once when he came to Church. He was very Happy and smiling at first. He sang the hymns with a smile on his face. Than suddenly the Devil inside him threw the hymnal and the Devil started cursing. It was pushing everyone around it.

Some people said Let’s pray this Devil out of him. Several people laid their hands on him and began to pray. With Great Power they were all Flung backwards. I walked up to them and for a second it was him not the Devil. His eyes pleaded with me and he shrugged his shoulders. The Devil flung swear words at me then they left.

30 years later I talked with him a few times. He told me he had gotten out of Witchcraft and is now going to Church.

Devil Possession is a Bible Truth.

Mark 5:1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

The reason Devil possession Films, TV series are popular is because Devil possession is a Fact.

People will laugh at Devil possession but inside they know it is real. Things that have no Truth to them are usually box office bombs. There are exceptions sure, but most things made have a basis in the Truth.

You might be thinking not Super Hero and Fantasy Films. They are really about the Super Natural World which is REAL. Superman (Charters like him.) is a type of the Anti-Christ. These movies are about Greek gods, legends from history, that have a basis in fact.

Christians Need to Give up their Old Sinful Lives

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;)

Every unsaved person belongs to Satan.

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.

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.

A person is Either Saved Or Lost.

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. 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.

Christians now that you are Saved you no longer belong to Satan.

You are a Child of the King. You are now in Christ Jesus. Jesus is your Father. You do not have to be Satan’s Slave, a Slave to Sin anymore.

Serving Jesus Faithfully is a daily struggle. The cares of this life can easily overwhelm us. Unexpected circumstances can, make our lives very hard.

Battling against Sin is a second by second Battle.

I hear many “Christians” claim that they do not Sin at all anymore. They say that they have the victory over Sin.

Lordship Salvation teaches that to be Saved a person has to “Turn from Sin.”

“Repent of Sin” This contract means that you have to live a Sinless life. In this False Gospel God makes a deal with you. You can only be Saved if you agree to Forsake Sin all together.

People who are a part of this False Gospel. Say “I never commit a willful Sin. I do not Sin willfully.”

They are Liars that Lie to the whole world and to themselves. They are Lying to God.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

We all Sin. When we Sin we are following OUR OWN Lustful Desires. This is Willful. 

We are Tempted every second. It is not a Sin to be Tempted. It is Sin to indulge in the Temptation.

For example nearly everyday we live we encounter Beautiful people. Realizing other people are attractive is not a Sin. The Sin comes in when we start Lusting after these people. Having impure Sexual thoughts, Desires.

It is NORMAL to Sin. If you claim you do not Sin, that you do not fall into Sin than you are a LIAR.

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

James 4:17 “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”

Paul possibly the Greatest Christian who ever lived. He struggled with Sin.

Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

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.

We can Limit our Sin. If we live according to the Bible.

1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Many people get Saved and try to keep the same friends that they had when they were Lost. You have to have Christian friends. Having Lost friends will always lead to Trouble and Sins.

Socializing with Work Friends will put you into constant Temptations. Understand too they want you to Sin, so they can feel their Sinful Life is OK.

1 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.”

We need to keep our mind on Jesus, on our Salvation.

When we make bad decisions. We find ourselves doing Sinful things. Things that were once very common to us. We go back to our Sinful Life Style. Many Christians completely reject Christianity and they live like the Lost.

Proverbs 14:3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.

18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.

21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. 22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.

23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

Jesus is so Kind and Merciful that he will Limit the amount of Temptation that we get.

All of our Sin is not because of Temptation. We can run after Sin. How? Why? Christians sometimes, feel lonely and rejected. We can seek comfort in our old Sins.

I have seen people use 1 Corinthians 10:13 as a CLUB to Beat a Christian with. Do not do that. They SAY you have no excuse for your Sin. “Jesus provides a way out….. So you do not have to Sin.”

Everyone Sins.

We should have compassion on Christians who are struggling with Sin more than we are. It is Wrong to Mock them to Make Examples of them. Wagging our fingers at them.

Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Many “Christians” act Holier Than Thou.

They enjoy seeing Christians who are Caught Sinning. They Lecture them, Humiliate them. Act like they are so much Better than them. They carelessly throw out Scriptures to them that they do not understand. Not to be helpful but to MOCK, to BELITTLE them.

1 Corinthians 10:12 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.

These Dagger Throwers always forget verse 12. “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”

Yes, Jesus provides a way for us to Escape the Temptation. For many different reasons we ignore the Escape and we Sin. WE ALL DO THIS. Let’s not LIE ABOUT OUR OWN SIN.

Sometimes we have Horrible days. I mean the absolutely Worst day. We might Smoke, Drink, have Sex – Fornication with an old flame, run to Sin to comfort us. Sin does provide a Temporary Relief. We Hate going back to our Past Sins. If we are not careful we can fall so hard into Sin we cannot find our way out without help.

Please do not be a Hypocrite that finds Pleasure in other people’s Pain, their Sin. They did not take the Escape Jesus provides. We, are Guilty of this too. Do not be so SMUG. Hypocrites have no problem using Scriptures as a Weapon to Condemn others. Scriptures are intended to be used to Help people not to Cut people who have fallen into Sin.

Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof

The best way to avoid Sin is to “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.”

This means always be a Christian. Do not be two faced. By acting one way at Work and a different way at Church. Be one person not a Bipolar Wreck.

Too many Christians have many different faces. Do not be a many faced person. Always be the same.

When you make provision for the flesh, you are putting yourself in a position to Sin.

If you used to be a Drunk. And you know someone who will offer you a Beer, a Drink. If you go over to their home. You should never go over to that person’s home. When you plan on going over to their home. You are going to get that Drink. Well, you just made provision for your flesh. This is just one example, it could be Sex, (Seeing someone you used to have Sex with) Drugs, Pornography, Gossip, thousands of different Sins.

Do not Tempt yourself.

James 4:8 “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”

Matthew 15:8 “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”

Always be close to Jesus. The further we are from Jesus the closer we are to Sin.

Please Share the Gospel with the Lost. If you have not Please ask Jesus right now to Save you.

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.

The 7 Churches In The Book Of Revelation Explained.

Beware Dispensationalist Pervert The 7 Churches in the Book of Revelation. They Pervert Bible Prophecy. God Clearly Warns us not to Add to His Words.

It is almost impossible to Find a Book. A Church. An Evangelist. Christians that understand that the 7 Churches in the Book of Revelation were REAL CHURCHES. Dispensationalist False Theology has corrupted most Churches. Bible Prophecy has become a way to make Billions of dollars. False Teachers get rich selling their False Prophecy Doctrines.

Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

This is God Talking Directly to the people who invented Dispensationalist Theology.

God is talking to ALL Dispensationalists. They have ADDED Words to The Book of Revelation, Teachings that are not There. Why else would God have given this Warning? Dispensationalist Have Absolutely ADDED to the Book of Revelation.

This Warning should be enough for you. To not Follow Dispensationalism. To not Spread its False Teachings.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

God Warns Against ADDING or SUBTRATING from His’s Word.

Dispensationalist’s will throw out these verses. Because God is Directly talking to the Jewish people. Let me remind you. That you cannot just throw out Bible verses for any reason.

2nd 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.

Every Scripture that is about Not Adding To. Not Subtracting From God’s Word. That is about the Truth of God’s Word. Is Always Bible Doctrine for Everyone at any time in History. This should be Crystal Clear to Everyone who Claims to be a Christian.

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.

Matthew 22:28 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.

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.

In Matthew 22. Jesus is talking to Sadducees. Jewish Religious Leaders.

Leaders who had the Authority over Jewish people who practiced Judaism. They taught the Scriptures. And devoted their Lives to reading and following the Scriptures. Jesus is calling them out for their IGNORANCE OF THE SCRIPTURES.

This applies to everyone who claims to be a Christian Pastor. An Evangelist. To Any man who is Teaching the Scriptures in an official capacity. They  all have a responsibility to know what they are talking about.

No, marriage in Heaven is an established Bible Truth. This is what Jesus is telling the Sadducees. The Counterfeit Christian Church gets this Wrong today too. They think there will be marriages in Heaven. Within the Resurrected Christian Church. Today’s Modern day Pharisees and Sadducees. 

To follow Dispensationalism after seeing how they ADD to the Bible. Is Asking for God’s Judgment against you.

There were Seven Real Churches that the Apostle John wrote to.

Dispensationalist, ignore that these were Seven Real Churches. They Pervert the Scriptures. Turning each letter written to a real Church into a period of time. That describes the Christian Church through Fictional Church Ages. 

The Letters to the Seven Churches in the Book of Revelation

Revelation 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

When you read the Bible. 

It is essential to know who the passage is being written to. Some Bible Doctrine is a Universal Truth that applies to everyone. Four examples are: God is One God in Three Persons. Jesus is God. There is only one True Gospel in the Bible. And God Hates Sin. Some Doctrine. Applies only to the People the Scripture was written to. If you cannot apply Doctrine from a passage to you. It will still have a spiritual application. The Bible tells us the true History of God’s dealing with mankind.

The Bible is full of prophecies. 

The Book of Revelation is a very prophetic book. No one understands completely everything written in it. People need to say I do not understand this passage instead of inventing False Doctrines. These people do not understand because they are Lost False Teachers.

It is important to teach only what the Bible says.

Too many Greedy Writers. Pastors. Preachers and Churches Pervert the Scriptures. They make Billions of dollars Writing Fiction Books. Making Movies. Building Churches etc.

There are prophetic passages in the Letters to the Seven Churches. I heard one Dispensationalist Pastor say. The existence of Seven Real Churches that had the same names as the Churches in Revelation, does not change the Truth of what Dispensationalist teach.

That is like saying. The 10 lost tribes of Israel are the United States of America. Something many Bible Perverters say. Dispensationalist have invented a False Church History. What Dispensationalist teach concerning the Seven Churches is mostly Fiction.

The Term Bible Believer Means Nothing. It is a Self-Righteous Term. It Does not Mean the person. The Church that uses this Term is Saved.  Most people who use this Term are Lost.

IFB Baptist Bible Believers claim the Bible is almost all literal facts. A History of Past, Present, and Future events. The Bible must be read literally. Unless a passage is clearly written as a Parable. As a clear illustration. Bible Believers do not teach the Bible this way though. They are huge Hypocrites. Their adding to the Bible and subtracting from the Bible goes against their own rules.

I have never seen any Church that Adds to the Bible and Subtracts from the Bible more than they do. They throw out whole books of the Bible. Using their Dispensationalist Theology that splits the Bible up. They will say that was written to people in a different Dispensation. So we can ignore those scriptures. Those scriptures do not apply to the Church Age Dispensation.

The Divisions they use, Dispensations, are not in the Bible. They are invented. Just like they have created Fictional Church Ages. That do not exist in the Bible. They are the worst Bible Perverters in the world.

Please understand when you read the Bible. The Bible is a Book of History. What is written in the Bible has happened. Or will happen in the future.

Beware of Dispensationalist False Doctrines. They teach that the letters to the Seven Real Churches in Asia Minor. (Modern day Turkey.) In Revelation 2 and 3 represent Seven Ages of Church History. Guess what this is not found in the Bible. It is made up.

The view that these Seven Churches. Represent Seven consecutive periods in the History of the Church. Has no basis in fact.

Simply put. The Bible does not say. Or even imply. That the letters to the Seven Churches. Is about Seven Future periods of Church History.

Nobody is able to accurately pinpoint. When each invented Age began and ended. Variations in the conclusions. And in charts of different expositors. Prove that there is no consensus among them.

Different suggestions. Have been put forward. Some expositors try to find ecclesiastical organizations. And movements in some of these stages. Thus trying to insert too much prophesy into it.  All attempts at this are speculative and subjective. There is no objective hermeneutical guideline in reaching their conclusions. Their speculations are not Biblical.

It is Heresy. To label and identify the Seven Churches as relating to specific Time Periods in History.

The Scriptures do not say. That the Seven Candlesticks are Seven Church Ages. It clearly says that the Candlesticks are Seven Real Churches. Churches that existed at that time.

John Walvoord, a respected prophetic scholar. Admits that, “The prophetic interpretation of the messages to the Seven Churches, to be sure, should not be pressed beyond bounds. As it is a deduction from the content. Not from the explicit statement of the passage.” (The Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter 52.)

J. Allen also admits. That, “sometimes prophetic interpretation can be pressed too far. And owe much to the imagination of the commentator.”

In support of the prophetic view. He writes, “To deny its existence. (In the book of Revelation.) Is to exclude a line of thought. That Christ meant to become clearer. As the age moves to its climax. His coming for the church.” (Revelation, 13:8.)

C. I. Scofield. Clarence Larkin. And numerous other Writers. Invented / invent things out of thin air about the Seven Churches. Fables you cannot find in the Bible anywhere.

Dispensationalist are “Bible Believers?” No They Are Liars. That Add To And Subtract from the Bible.

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 

The Seven Churches were REAL Churches. That existed at the time John wrote the Seven letters to them.

Each letter was a Specific Message to a Real Church. Some of these Churches. Had a closer relationship with Jesus than others. Jesus gave each one a short “report card.”

Ephesus:

“…thou hast left thy first love…”

They lost their first love for Jesus Christ. Which in turn affected the love they had for others.

Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Smyrna:

Was warned it was about to face persecution.

Revelation 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Pergamum:

Had fallen prey to a cult called the Nicolaitans. Heretics who taught that since their bodies were evil. Only what they did with their spirit counted. This led to sexual immorality and eating food sacrificed to idols.

Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

Thyatira:

Had Jezebel a False Prophetess who was leading people astray.

Revelation 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Sardis:

Had the reputation of being dead, or asleep.

Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Some of the passages written to Sardis are not just Historical. They are talking about the Great Tribulation.

Verse 3 “… If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”

Verse 3 is difficult. It could be talking about about the Rapture of the Church or it could be talking about the Rapture that happens during the Great Tribulation.

Verse 5 “… I will not blot out his name out of the book of life…”

Right Now in the Christian Church. A person has Eternal Life and their name cannot be Blotted out of the Book of Life.

During the Great Tribulation. A person who was Left Behind can Believe on Jesus. And have their name written in the Book of Life. When people who went to Church see they have missed the Rapture. Some of them will Believe the Gospel. Even people who never went to Church but knew about the Rapture. Some of these people will also Believe the Gospel.

Any of these people. If they take the Mark of the Beast. Than their name will be Blotted out of the Book of Life.

In the Great Tribulation there is No Eternal Security. Because of the Mark of the Beast. Again, if a person who Believed the Gospel takes the Mark of the Beast. There name will be Blotted out of the Book of Life. Because they took The Mark of the Beast.

A person is Saved the Same way in the Great Tribulation. By Believing the Gospel only. As we are today. In fact, there is only one plan of Salvation in the Bible.

They do not have Eternal Security. Because at any time they can take the Mark of the Beast. It is not a Works Based Salvation. Because No Work they have Done will get them into Heaven. Not taking the Mark of the Beast is not a Work.

Taking the Mark of the Beast is Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. The only unforgivable Sin.

People who take the Mark of the Beast. Are Claiming Satan is the real Jesus Christ. Making Jesus Works the Works of Satan. Which is what Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is.

Philadelphia:

This Church had a little strength. And kept God’s word. They did not deny Jesus name.

Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

Historical:

The Synagogue of Satan is mentioned twice in Revelation. Once in Jesus’ letter to the first-century church in Smyrna. And once to the church in Philadelphia. In both cases, the Synagogue of Satan is opposed to the mission and message of the Church.

To the church in Smyrna. Jesus says. “I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9).

To the church of Philadelphia in Asia Minor. Jesus says. “I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you” (Revelation 3:9).

In short. The Synagogue of Satan. Was a group of unbelieving Jews. Who were Persecuting Christians.

These groups were guilty of Slandering the church in Smyrna. And opposing the Church in Philadelphia.

The majority of the persecution the New Testament Church faced. Came from the Jewish community. Even most of the Roman persecution. Was an effort to appease the Jewish authorities.

This is true of Pilate’s condemnation of Jesus. (John 19:1–16.) And Paul’s imprisonment by the Roman governors Felix. (Acts 24:27.) And Festus. (Acts 25:16.) This pattern held true throughout the Roman world in the first century.

As long as Christians were considered a sect of Judaism. They were Safe from Roman persecution.

They were exempt. From the required observance. Of certain aspects of Roman state religion. However, as Christians were expelled from synagogues. And denounced by the Jewish leadership. Rome began to see Christianity as a new religion. That did not have these same exemptions. Therefore, Christians outside the protective umbrella of the synagogue. Were open to Roman persecution.

The Synagogue of Satan say they are Jews. (The people of God.) And they Persecute those who Believe in Jesus the Messiah. In reality, by rejecting Jesus The Jewish Messiah. They have renounced their status as “True” Jews. That is why Jesus calls them “liars.”

This distinction between ethnic Jews. And faithful Jews. Is also seen in Romans 9:6. (“Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.”) And Romans 2:28–29. (“For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter.”)

By their Persecution of the True people of God. These unbelieving Jews had become a Synagogue of Satan. A gathering of people who were actually following Satan’s wishes.

Laodicea:

Had Lukewarm Faith. Its members had grown complacent. Because of the riches of the city.

Revelation 3:15 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.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

The Laodicea Church Period. Is said to be happening Right Now.

At this Current time in Church History. I do not buy it. The Bible does not say this. Today’s Church is much, worse than the Laodicea Church was. Jesus questioned if there would be “ANY FAITH” on the earth. When he returned. Talking about the Rapture of the Church.

The Laodicea Church was Lukewarm. Not Ice Cold. Like the Church is today. Today people get Saved. Go to a Church that does not preach the Bible. And live like the devil the rest of the week.

Luke 18:8 “I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”

Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

This famous verse is not talking about Jesus knocking on the door of the Lost. Jesus is knocking on the door of the Laodicea Church. Because they are so far from him. That he is knocking on their doors saying. “Hey let me into your Church.” “I want to fellowship with you.”

Dispensationalist reject that these Letters were written to the real Churches in Asia Minor.

They Invent, ADD to the Bible, their own Fables about these Seven Real Churches.

They say the message to the Church in Ephesus. Is really to the Church Period at the end of the Apostolic age. Please show this to me in the Bible. Where is that in the Bible? FYI it is not in the Bible.

The letter to the Church in Smyrna. Represents the “Period of the great persecutions to A.D. 316.” Where is this in the Bible? It is not in the Bible.

The letter to the Church in Pergamos. Represents “The church under imperial favour. Settled in the world, A.D. 316 to the end.” Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to Church in Thyatira. Represents “A.D. 500-1500. The triumph of Balaamism and Nicolaitanism. A believing remnant (vs. 24-28.)” Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to Church in Sardis. Represents “The period of the Reformations. A believing remnant (vs. 4, 5.)” Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to the Church in Philadelphia. Represents “The true church. The church that preaches the Gospel.” The Church period right before the church becomes Lukewarm. Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to Church in Laodicea. Represents the final state of Apostasy in the church. The current Church Age we are now living in. Where is this in the Bible?

This Heresy is not found in the Word of God. It is complete Fiction written by men not by God.

These Seven Letters to the Seven Churches are exactly that. The churches were named. “1 The church at Ephesus.” “2 The church at Smyrna.” “3 The church at Pergamos.” “4 The church at Thyatira.” “5 The church at Sardis.” “6 The church at Philadelphia.” And “7 The church at Laodicea.”

These Seven Churches had problems like all churches do. The Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle John to write letters to these churches. To help the churches get straightened out. Would somebody please show me in the Bible. Where these Seven Letters represent The Seven Invented Church Ages. Of Church History Claimed by Dispensationalist?

Please Ask Jesus to Save You. If you have not already. Believe the Gospel Only To Be Saved.

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:
