Your list of Godly Achievements Within the Building Called a “Church”

Recently I have been privy to hearing the “achievements” someone accomplished within the building called a “church.” Well, all the while the Holy Spirit kept placing these verses within my head as I heard these “accomplishments.”

Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV – “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Now why would the Holy Spirit place these verses in particular into my head?

For one. The people proudly proclaiming what they saw as what was required of them to be one with God through Jesus Christ.

Second, how these verses end: “I never knew you; depart from Me, YOU WHO PRATICE LAWLESSNESS!”

Christ made it very clear in John 14 what you are required to do if you truly love Him:

John 14:15-21 NKJV – “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

“He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me,

So, in this list of achievements within this building called a church do they include these commands given by Christ as the Sermon on the Mount:

When you give do so in a way where no one knows it is you giving the money to those in need. (Matthew 6:1-4)

When you pray. Pray in secret where no one can see you. Therefore, if you pray in public and especially in a church you are breaking this commandment. (Matthew 6:5-6)

When you fast do not make a show of it or let anyone know you are fasting. (Matthew 6:16-18)

Now the next one is one of the biggest commandments that most refuse to even accept, acknowledge or even attempt to do.:

Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

You know what else is considered earthly treasures? Achievements within a building called a “church.”

1 John 2:15-17 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

These achievements you achieve through your own desires and wants makes you proud in what you have accomplished and don’t even see that you are walking in darkness.

Ephesians 5:1-10 NKJV – Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

Just because you go to a building called a “church” and you do activities made by and sponsored by this building does not place you in heaven. For they are not commandments offered by Jesus Christ, but by men. This is why Jesus says this right after telling those that are loyal to Him to not store up earthly treasures:

Matthew 6:22-24 NKJV – “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

In churches people belief they are in the light, when in reality, since they are not imitating Christ they are actually walking in earthly darkness. Then Christ makes it clear that churches teach to seek after mammon.

Why do I say this? Because they teach you can keep 90% of your income as long as you give 10% to the church. This is not what is taught in Matthew 6 or 1 Timothy 6. In both of those locations within the Bible it is made clear that we are to live off 10%. Give 10% to those that are True representatives of Jesus Christ. Then have the rest ready at a moment’s notice to help those in need.

Just so you know mammon is defined as riches (jewelry and fancy clothes), money, possessions (objects that gather dust and vehicles [which include luxury cars, trucks, RVs if they are not your actual home, motorcycles, boats, jet skis etc.]) and property (owning huge houses and/or multiple houses [ once again RVs count as a house] as well as land filled with nothing useful to those in need).

This is all churches say you can keep thus canceling out any achievements you may think of to whitewash your filthy garments.

Revelation 3:1-5 NKJV – “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

“He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I WILL NOT BLOT OUT HIS NAME FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE, but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.”

Revelation 3:15-20 NKJV – “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

Those that wish to list their churchly achievements are blind and proud and have been vomited out of the Body of Christ and Christ Himself removed their names from the Book of Life.

Revelation 20:15 NKJV – And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

You should know at first: Christianity loses

Here is one of the things that really surprises me about those that profess to being “Christian.” Their total lack of understanding the Word of God.

This is the fault of those that teach all you need is faith alone. Being a True Disciple of Christ means to STUDY the Word of God. Which will empower the person studying to spread the True Word of God and also live a needs-only existence by striving to follow what they learned when they studied the Bible.

Once they know the Word of God they learn a major fact. That those that Truly seek after Christ will be persecuted, hunted down and ultimately killed. Especially in the first half of the tribulation. For at the middle of the tribulation a great multitude will appear before the heavenly throne of God who purchased their robes by being true followers of Christ.

Revelation 7:9-14 NKJV  After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

They washed their robes by becoming martyrs.

Revelation 6:9-11 NKJV – When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

It is completed in chapter 7. For all of those that are True Christians must be removed from the face of the earth. Therefore, Christianity loses in the first half of the tribulation. They are starved and beheaded. Only one religion desires the beheading of Christians, and they will win the first half. Also, those that reject Christ and God will be left behind, and they all will have taken the mark of the beast.

There are those that are praying over a dead country that was once great and Holy in the sight of God. That being the United States of America. Yet note this from Chapter 6 of the book of Revelation right after the mention of the martyrs under the altar.

Revelation 6:12-17 NKJV – I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

This correspondence to this:

Revelation 18:2-8 NKJV – And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

This destruction in one day. The sky receding as a scroll, every mountain and island being moved will be caused by one thing. The eruption of a super volcano that will wipe the United Stated as well as parts of Canada and Mexico from the face of the earth. Leaving what is left covered in ash which will cause mourning and famine for what is left of these three nations.

So, stop trying to save the United States and start to save the people within these nations so that they may avoid these events. For Christ promised all that follow His commandments and strive to live a Holy live will avoid the tribulation all together:

Luke 21:34-36 NKJV – “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

By the way. In this posting today it has been shown that there will be multiple raptures. The first was just shown in the verses just presented. The second rapture was mentioned in Revelation chapter seven. Therefore, Any who teach there is only one rapture. Those that teach there are no raptures. Those who teach these things are false teachers and need to be avoided. For we are instructed to remove ourselves from those that live in sin and teach false doctrine.

This is evident if you look at the way those within the United States now behave. They were spoken of in these verses which were inspired by the Holy Spirit:

2 Timothy 3:1-9 NKJV – But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

Time is nearly up till the first rapture occurs. Then there will be nearly three and a half years of true physical suffering which will include be-headings. All because most would rather have their luxuries aka mammon and they refused to leave the city of Babylon by downsizing and living a needs-only lifestyle. This is the majority that now profess to being “Christian” and they will have to suffer through the tribulation till every single person that confesses Christ as their Savior and is then filled with the Holy Spirit is removed from the face of the earth. Which means Christianity loses……….. at first.

Let us continue to talk about those that say they are “Christian”

Again, I was looking at videos on social media and two of them stuck out.

In the second video an ill-prepared street preacher was confronted by an alphabet false teacher aka a woman wearing a minister’s attire.

She confronted him saying “what is the core premise of the Bible.” Paraphrased for the record.

She stated it was “Love,” which is a lie, a falsehood, a false teaching. The actual answer is this:

Matthew 22:37-40 NKJV – Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

You shall LOVE GOD is the actual answer to what is the core premise of the Word of God.

God must be first in ALL that we seek after, even if that means we must abandon something that gives us personal pleasure.

Then we are to treat all as we would like to be treated. The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have done unto to you.

But finally we see this from Jesus Christ Himself:

“On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

This means all the laws and the prophets must still be listened to and followed. The only thing removed by Christ going to the cross was the act of having to commit sacrifices. This  means that this is still law:

Leviticus 18:22 NKJV – You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

This brings us to the book of Romans:

First, I wish to show this:

Romans 1:16-17 NKJV – For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

“The Just shall LIVE by Faith. To live is considered works. How you live your daily life must fall into doing what Christ commanded, which are works:

John 14:15 NKJV – “If you love Me, keep My commandments.

As you see by the verse just stated we return to LOVING GOD FIRST AND FOREMOST.

But let’s continue into Romans 1:

Romans 1:18-32 NKJV – For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

By teaching the core premise of the Bible is love alone those that did this fulfilled these verses:

“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”

This resulted in this:

Romans 1:26-27 NKJV – For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

This clearly shows that the alphabet club exists because they rejected the True God and His True Son Jesus Christ. Therefore, any who embraces and support the alphabet club are not welcome in heaven, which is what the second person in the videos did. They must end these sins and repent. This is made clear here:

Romans 1:32 NKJV – who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Now as to those that call themselves “Christian:”

Romans 2:1-11 NLT – You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things? Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness.  There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.

Key Statement in these verses: “You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things.”

“For you who judge others do these very same things.”

This is what it means when it says not to judge. If you commit the same sins, you condemn yourself. For God will judge ALL that stand before the Great White Throne Judgement.

The goal of a True Christian is to spread the True Word of God and to live a needs-only lifestyle and follow the teachings found within the Word of God and to end their personal sins and repent.

As shown from the Word of God, the core of which is to LOVE GOD is to end ALL sins especially those that will not allow us to be part of the raptures. For only by being part of the raptures can someone avoid standing being God at the Great White Throne Judgement.

Any who calls themselves “Christian” now and finds themselves at this Judgement must weep for they will most likely enter into the lake of fire for billion upon billion upon billions of year in eternal agony.

Just saying “I am a Christian” doesn’t necessarily mean you are a disciple of Christ

The other day I watched one of those videos on social media. In it a woman berated a street preacher. She insisted that the Bible doesn’t say anything about the alphabet soup club. Then when he tried to read the Truth from the Bible, she attacked him again before he even got a word out. Claiming that the KJV of the Bible is corrupt and inaccurate. Again, insisting that she was right and she was holy all the time wearing a rainbow skirt from a tutu.

One of the greatest travesties that has occurred is those that have changed the Word of God into a people pleasing, watered down verses of the Truth. AKA they twisted the Word of God into lies. The Bible says this about those that turn the Word of God into a people pleasing document:

Galatians 1:6-10 NKJV – I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

Those that say the alphabet club is not mentioned in the Word of God and are welcomed into heaven are reading and teaching lies. Which is exactly what the father of all lies wants. For he has no desire to enter into the lake of fire. So, he thinks of bringing as many as possible along with him into that place of eternal pain. He will be able to look around him and get a sense of relief as he does so. He even lies to himself.

Does this mean those that profess to being true disciples of Christ hate those of the alphabet club? This is the furthest thing from the Truth. It is only through True love that we teach the Truth which is painful to hear and even more painful to strive and overcome these sins.

Proverbs 13:24 NKJV – He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

Sparing the rod is saying that the alphabet club is welcome into heaven. Which clearly shows that those that do this show true hatred for those that do these things. Thus, allowing them to remain in a sin which will exclude them from the Glorious presence of God.

Now, we will hear those protesting talking about churches that have alphabet club people standing upon the dais or behind the pulpit. These are just social clubs. They even have yoga classes, which are teachings of another religion. How can a building that teachs multiple religions be a building that teaching that only through Christ alone can someone be welcomed into heaven?

Now, don’t get a swelled head if going to a building called a “church” that does teach that the alphabet club is full of sinners who refuse to repent. For most within all churches live in sins that they refuse to let go of. They prove this when they seek after expensive clothes and wear them to these buildings. They prove this by living in luxuries and expensive homes and driving expensive vehicles. This is all sin, For we are to live a needs-only lifestyle. If God has cursed us with earthly wealth we are to have it available at a moments notice to help those in need.

1 Timothy 6:6-10 NKJV – Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

1 Timothy 6:17-19 NKJV – Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Those that keep their earthly wealth unto themselves sin against God and defy His commandments. They place themselves above God. They worship themselves above God and so are not welcome into heaven. Even though they call themselves “Christian” they live in haughtiness and believe they are special, exempt and rewarded by God, when this is the furthest thing from the Truth.

1 John 2:15-16 NLT – Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.

Since all they have and seek after comes from the world who is it they truly worship?

2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT – Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

These last two groups of verses bring up another point which was hit upon at the beginning of this message. The versions of Bibles and calling them a lie. To start with: the NIV is a recent translation, and one filled with a people pleasing message. Thus, those that wrote it per Galatians chapter 1 are twice cursed to damnation. As for the KJV it is the closest to the True writing of the original words written in Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. Any and all translations have errors, which must be addressed. This is accomplished through STUDYING the Word of God. Studying means to find the way the words were written down upon parchment in the first place in these original languages. Even down to their meaning at the time they were written down. Simply the KJV is a guide into the Truth and is the closest we have to knowing the Truth of the Word of God. Therefore, if it says that the alphabet club Is not welcome into heaven then accept the pain and end the sin. For those that keep their earthly wealth. Accept that pain and downsize quickly because it is already too late for most since the midnight cry has already come and gone.

The Ravenous Wolves (False Christians)

Matthew 7:15-23 NKJV – “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Many have assumed and even taught that these verses are exclusively for those that stand upon the dais or behind the pulpit. To a degree that is very True. However, what are those that choose to follow Christ told to do?

Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV – And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of Jesus Christ, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

“Go therefore and make disciples.”

“Baptizing them in the name of Jesus Christ.

“Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.”

Therefore, you too can be included amongst those that are “false prophets.” You too can be a ravenous wolf.

Now let us focus in on this sentence:

“Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.”

Many if not most that profess to being “Christian” believe in their own minds that they bear “good fruit.” However, I have observed this is the furthest thing from the Truth. For in reality they are ravenous wolves.

Now why make such a statement? This is why.

As I have looked about at those that are religious I see their hypocrisy. In daily behavior, actions and attitude. I even see it over the long-term is some cases and see how they have failed to follow the Bible time after time all for their status within a building called a “church.”

It is this seeking after status within a building called a “church” that I have witnessed the reality of the description of “ravenous wolves.” They dress in their finest and don’t wish to tarnish their image within this little social club. They berate their offspring, and cause their children to turn away for God and salvation and most likely heading them towards eternal damnation all for the sake of status.

To them they are focused solely upon how they are seen. How they interact with other. It is always about them. How self-centered and egotistical can people be? However, what else can be expected for the Word of God says this about those that are so self-absorbed:

James 3:14-16 NKJV – But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

If this attitude and behavior is “earthly, sensual, demonic.” The question must be asked: Are they even saved if they had once been or have they never truly been saved?

Becoming saved is the easy part. All you need do is believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and only through Him can you find Salvation which leads to God. However, faith and believing  alone can lead to death.

James 2:14-26 NKJV – What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS ACCOUNTED TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

If the works that people have accomplished has led their children to sin and to walk away from God. Then they have shown that their fruit is bad and are not welcome into heaven and that Jesus Christ never knew them.

Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV – “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Which explains why Christ followed this statement with this parable:

Matthew 7:24-27 NKJV – “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

Ponder deeply. Have you been foolish or wise. Truly search your soul. Review your actions and behavior before and after you asked Christ to enter your life. If there has been no change between the two are you truly saved? Evidence, your works, says no. If you have been within a building called a “church” and have your children, if you had any, walk away from God? Then you are foolish, and destine to be washed away to damnation. For you not only bore bad fruit, but it was so bad that you were a ravenous wolf and devoured your own offspring to damnation for all eternity unless they find their way to God through trials they may have avoided if you had born good fruit.

For a very long time the buildings called “churches” stopped bring places of God and have given birth to those that are ravenous wolves instead of disciples.

WAKE-UP!! REPENT!!

For many it is already too late for them. However, leave those buildings called “churches” and seek a true relationship with God through Jesus Christ by studying the Word of God for yourselves. Not read. STUDY! There is a huge difference. Because if you had studied the Word of God you would have left those buildings called “churches” long ago and let them go out of business. For that is all they are a business only interested in money not God nor His Son: Jesus Christ.

When you study do not follow commentaries. To Study break down the word as they were originally written down in Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic, for the Bible was written in these three languages in the first place. For when you understand what the Words meant when originally placed upon parchment then you will begin to see the Truth of the Word of God.

Obituary of a modern-day Pharisee

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

She has lived a long life and still does. Her husband was quickly and violently removed from her life so she could not infect him any further away from his salvation. She has three children. All of whom she drove away from God through her religious fervor. The eldest is wondering lost. The middle seeks after what is esteemed by the world. Both are a reflection of her true self. The third she pushed to commit murder through abortion just so her social standing within the “church” would not be tarnished.

Within the “church” she taught children Bible verses, which has led most into a lukewarm life and most likely damnation. Instead of teaching the full Word of God which made it clear we are to live a needs-only lifestyle and to place all others before our own wants, and desires. However, to her it is all about her placement within the “church.” Her achievements, her standing, her possessions. All opposite the Word of God.

Now as her mind leaves her. All she cares about is her past experiences. Her possessions and that people don’t steal them. Yet, in her mind she believes she is saved and not destined to awaken to the Great White Throne Judgement.

She fears letting go and passing on. For her soul knows what her mind has not yet comprehended. That she will not awaken till she stands in judgement. Even though she hears knocking in her dreams. The knocking of the Lord seeking to accept her and her surrender unto Him. Yet she refuses to let go. Clinging to this temporal existence as her mind and body falls apart.

The Bobbing Heads That Don’t Verify the Word of God (How religion enter into the Christian faith and when)

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, history, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , Leave a comment

Most that go to the buildings called “churches” are those that qualify as the bobbing heads.

Yet why do they qualify?

They qualify because they take the words of the person standing upon the dais or behind the pulpit as sacred and true.

They qualify because they do not verify through the Word of God.

 1 Thessalonians 5:21 NKJV – Test all things; hold fast what is good.

Acts 17:11 NKJV – These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

1 John 4:1 NKJV – Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

One of the greatest examples of the need to do this is found in the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. For within this chapter, we see two sides of one coin. The coin of belief in God. Yes, it is now Scripture, but within it we must still test it. However, the bobbing heads don’t, nor ever have for the most part.

Therefore, we will do now what most have never done. For they would rather bob their heads then to even bother to open the Word of God and see what is True or was found wanting.

We will begin after the greeting. We see the Truth of the Word of God and of Jesus Christ:

Acts 1:6-11 NKJV – Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

We need to note these Words form our Savior:

“And He said to them, ‘It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.’”

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.”

The “you” in this sentence was aimed to all. For none had yet received this power that is the Holy Spirit, because we know that this Spirit is named and so is Jesus Christ.

Why point this out? Because something that occurs in the coming verses, which should make people pause. To research, to study, to verify. So, let us now look to these verses:

 Acts 1:12-17 NKJV – Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.”

In these verses Peter makes mention of the Holy Spirit which has not yet descended upon them:

“This Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who because a guide to those who arrested Jesus.”

Psalms 41:9 NKJV – Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.

Yet does the Holy Spirit speak through the OT about appointing through humans a replacement for Judas?

Peter used these verses:

Psalms 109:1-13 NKJV – To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Do not keep silent, O God of my praise! For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful Have opened against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause. In return for my love they are my accusers, But I give myself to prayer. Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love. Set a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. When he is judged, let him be found guilty, And let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few, And let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow. Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places. Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder his labor. Let there be none to extend mercy to him, Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off, And in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

Yet we have no record of Judas having a wife or children. Therefore, we must question the relevance of connecting these verses to Judas.

Peter, the man who denied Christ three times. Shouldn’t these verses apply to himself in some form? Additionally, we see nothing within the teachings of Christ to make such an endeavor by those that profess to follow Christ. We are to seek all things through Christ and verify that they fall within the Word of God. Since there is doubt here. Why did Peter insist they pursue such an enterprise without first waiting for what he had made clear David heard ……. The Holy Spirit, which has not descended upon them as of yet. Simply why did He not just wait?

It is the Holy Spirit that is the guide, the leader, the focal point. Without the Holy Spirt how can it even be considered Holy?

Therefore, what is done here is not Blessed by God. This is given foundation by the fact that they seek to pray as a group in defiance of the commandment given by Jesus Christ:

Matthew 6:5-6 NKJV – “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Christ makes it clear where we are to pray and why.

“But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place.”

“For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men.”

Now just because you go into a “secret place” as a group of followers of Christ does not remove the key element of praying secretly.

“that they may be seen by men.” Are not your fellows humans? Then they qualify as men. Therefore, NONE should pray as a group or in a church. Prayer is a private time between you and God.

So, back on topic.

So Peter is forcing an issue with dubious Scripture since Judas had no wife or offspring that we are aware of. We must ask why not wait for the Holy Spirit first then seek to appoint a replacement?

This is an act of religion. Which is something that Peter was found guilty of pursuing in Galatians when Peter was forcing circumcision, as covered by the True replacement to Judas – Saul who will be called Paul when his apostleship begins. Therefore, We see the other side of the coin. Those that seek to place men’s action above the blessing given by the Holy Spirit.

Especially since the choice was achieved through the casting of lots in addition to the breaking of a commandment in how to pray from Christ Himself.

Acts 1:21-26 NKJV – “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.” And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

So list for us the great teachings and wonders accomplished from Matthias beyond dying a martyrs death.

There is none!

Because this is what comes from religion and not faith through Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirt whose name is Jesus Christ.

So, let’s talk about Matthias. Who’s that??????

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Most have no idea who Matthias is. There is a reason for this, and a lesson to the modern-day religious that go to the churches and don’t study the Word of God or even abide by it.

The story takes up only fifteen verses in the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. Within these verses the name “Matthias” only appears in two of them. This in itself should send alert signs to those that actually bother to read it. To those that study it becomes understood why this is.

Let’s look at these fifteen verses:

Acts 1:12-26 NKJV – Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.” (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.) “For it is written in the Book of Psalms: ‘LET HIS DWELLING PLACE BE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE LIVE IN IT’; and, ‘LET ANOTHER TAKE HIS OFFICE.’ “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.” And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.  And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Within this telling we see that the apostles took it upon themselves to pick the replacement for Judas. They state it was inspired by the Holy Spirit. Yet the Holy Ghost does not descend upon them until after this event.

Therefore, we can come to one conclusion. Peter has once again denied Christ. Peter is confronted about denying Christ in the book of Galatians as well by forcing gentiles to circumcise.

Also note that Joseph called Barsabas Justus and Matthias had witnessed the events of Christ ministry and seen that He had ascended into heaven. In simpler terms they were of once accord and fellow followers of Christ. From other sources we find that Matthias also died a martyr’s death.

Now I made mention about Peter denying Christ once again. He also encouraged those with him to break one of Christ commandments. Therefore, becoming the second time Peter denied Christ. What was this event?

“These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.”

What was Christ commandment about how we are to pray?

Matthew 6:5-6 NKJV – “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”

Praying in a group as these did was in defiance of this command. For Christ made it very clear:

“But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place.”

This means each person is to pray by themselves to God where no human can see them. When praying in a group all present see you and thus it is sin.

This sin they committed resulted in the picking, through gambling, a false apostle. Even though he was of one accord with them.

The true replacement for Judas was someone chosen by Christ Himself and in fact hated, hunted and killed those that were the followers of Jesus Christ.

It has been proven that when someone that truly does an 180 degree turn in their beliefs, that was so totally against a cause or a religion, becomes someone that is fully and completely committed to the cause they once opposed.

Saul who was a Pharisee and truly hated those that are now called “Christians” that he killed several hundred of them. The most notable was Stephen. He wrote most of the letters that now form the New Testament.

He was not chosen by a haggle of people gathered together in pray, in defiance of Christ, but by Christ Himself. Additionally, no lots were cast.

The lesson: 1) Obey Christ in all His commandments including where and when you pray to God. 2) God chooses, not humans. 3) Peter denied Jesus Christ three more times. Therefore, is not worthy of any type of praise. Only God through Jesus Christ should be praised and honored forever and ever.

The Covenant and Humanity. Who Really Has It?

bible, Bible study, Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

One of the great issues that has come from those that follow religion above following the teachings of God through His Son Jesus Christ; is the belief that one group has more importance to God than any other group. It was this mentality that led in part to the holocaust that resulted in the death of over six million Jews.

This mentality of one group being superior to another group has always been prevalent. It was seen in the rise of Babylon, then Medo-Persa, then Greece and Rome. In which the pagans hunted down those that called themselves “Christians” to being those that Called themselves “Christian” to supplanting the pagans of Rome. It was seen in the crusades. It was seen in the spread of Islam. It was seen in the conquest of Napoleon. It was seen by those that hunted down other humans to make slaves of them no matter the color of their skin. This mentality is showing its head once again, but that is another story.

Why mention all these things that show the sinful nature of humanity at this time?

Because there are those arguing over the covenant of God with a certain groups of people. Are they the Jewish people or are they now the Christians? The real answer?

God made a covenant with Abraham and made it clear that through his descendants His Son would come to redeem ALL. Not just Christian, not just Jews. All that acknowledged Him as God and that His Son is Jesus Christ. Now I want to look at this parable that was stated to the Pharisees and by the way note the Pharisees reply:

Matthew 21:33-41 NKJV – “Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country. Now when vintage-time drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, that they might receive its fruit. And the vinedressers took his servants, beat one, killed one, and stoned another. Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them. Then last of all he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But when the vinedressers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?” They said to Him, “He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.”

The key statement is found in their pronouncement of their own fate:

“He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.”

“Lease his vineyard.”

Lease – will let out – G1554 – ekdidómi – let forth, rent.

  1. Rent – a payment made periodically by a tenant to a landlord in return for the use of land, a building, an apartment, an office, or other property.

This means the item in question doesn’t belong to anyone. It is being given for use from the True Owner who is God.

Therefore, It doesn’t belong to Christians or Jews. It belongs to God who puts those who are leasing through a screening process.

A screening process called salvation and then seeking sanctification by following the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christ made it very simple. “Go and sin no more.”

Yet nowadays most live in sin and think they aren’t living in sin. Mainly due to how things have been presented to them by various influences about them and they aren’t even aware of it because they have not studied the Bible for themselves.

What do we know for sure?

Those that are left to suffer in the tribulation to come are ALL the enemies of God. Because the word “tribulation” means the punishment of an enemy.

Praying in public is a sin. Per Matthew 6:5-6. Yet they show people praying publicly everywhere. In movies on TV, this in itself should be a sign to those that understand, yet do they acknowledge it? No. Therefore, they live in sin and refuse to change their ways.

People seek after wealth and a fancy house and fancy vehicles as well as fancy clothes. Per 1 Timothy 6 that is all sin as verified by Jesus Christ in Matthew 6:19-24 and Luke 16:13-15.

Yet people again ignore these sins and think they are fine with God, which they aren’t.

So, Study the Word of God for yourselves. I don’t mean to read. I mean STUDY. For when you study the Word of God you will see that true salvation is only accomplished through obedience to God by following the teachings and commandments found in the Word of God.

Get this in your head people.

I Thessalonians 5:2 NKJV
[2] For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

I know for a fact that the return of Christ will occur at any moment.
However, we know this as well.

Matthew 24:36 NKJV
[36] “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

IF ANY HUMAN NAMES A DATE FOR THE RAPTURE. THAT PERSON IS A FALSE TEACHER.
IF ANYONE LISTENS TO THAT PERSON THEY ARE FALSE CHRISTIANS.

As for those that listened to September 23th as the day of the rapture.

REPENT!!!!

If you sold off all you had. Now you are ready to learn the Truth.

I Timothy 6:6-8 NKJV
[6] Now godliness with contentment is great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [8] And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

You had too much Mammon in the first place.
