Until further notice the messages that accompany this notice will be part of the “Come out of her my people” series. They will be harsh. They will cause people to get upset. This is as it should be. They must question the way they think and live.

Discussion

Church attendance is on the decline. It was accelerated due to COVID. However, it was decreasing before that though. The highest attendance in churches within the last one hundred years occurred in 1959. In 1962 the Supreme Court removed the teaching of the Bible from public schools. This caused a slight increase in church attendance in 1963. However, it was already starting to decline and continued. Accelerating at the beginning of the new century we now live within.

One of the main reasons for this decline is because those from the Great Depression were now in control of all the church denominations. They had embraced covetousness. A major item the Bible states several times they must never pursue.

Ephesians 5:3-7 NKJV – 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.

We are told not to partake with them. As you just heard or read. This isn’t the only time this occurs.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 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!

1 Timothy 6:3-5 NKJV – If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

Being covetous creates a mentality that causes these lists of sins to flourish. As these sins thrived, hearing that this behavior was a sin made people’s desires to go to churches be of less importance. In turn churches stopped teaching about sin and instead increased teaching about self-glorification and other people pleasing messages as well as allowing sin and many teachings that are based upon believes that are against God. That are antichrist.

Many think being covetous is the strong pursuit of money. Of greediness and pursuing vast wealth. It is the interest in seeking after mammon. Mammon is defined as riches, money, possessions and property. Within the Great Depression most were reduced to what God says we are to be content with.

1 Timothy 6:6-8 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.

Yet all due to just having food and clothing they were not content. I have heard multiple times from multiple people that grew up in this time that because they were forced to do without, they must have it all. This is the true definition of being covetous. It is due to their leadership and behavior that has removed God from the buildings called “churches.”

Churches are now empty shells that no longer help people come to God. In fact, they are nothing but glorified social clubs. They need to close their doors and people need to turn to the Word of God for themselves and learn the Truth of how they are to live.

A key element to accomplish this goal is found in the second chapter of Acts.

Acts 2:43-47 NKJV – Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

It has been well established for centuries that when something is repeated three times within the Bible it is of extreme importance and must become ingrained into the hearts and minds of those that profess to being a follower of God through Jesus Christ. One of these teachings is the interaction between Christ and the young rich man.

Mark 10:17-21 NKJV – Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ ‘DO NOT MURDER,’ ‘DO NOT STEAL,’ ‘DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER.'” And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

Within this interaction we see that the young rich man is very devoted to God. Most that enter churches can say the same. In Matthew chapter six a commandment is given by Christ during the sermon on the mount.

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.

Christ rephrases this command to the young rich man.

“One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

As I said this interaction is in three gospels, which makes it mandatory for ALL to heed. Something that is outright ignored by most. I am reminded of a confrontation I encountered with a person that held to believes that included denying God. This person said to me: “Well sell off all your possessions.” This is how the ungodly see those that profess to being “Christian.” As what they truly are. Hypocrites.

This is another reason why churches are emptying. When those that follow the lies of Satan can see the truth of those that parade their wealth and prosperity about in the buildings called “churches.” Along these lines they also see those in power that state they are “Christian” yet they reek of evil. This also scares people out of the buildings called churches.

This is why these messages are called the “Come out of her My people.” Series.

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.

Those that reject their covetous ways, and do as Christ commanded the young rich man, thus repenting, will have removed themselves from the city of Babylon. This city of Babylon is identified to those that have been given sight by the Holy Spirit. That this “city” is the United States of America.

But how can this huge nation receive the plagues of death and morning and famine in one day?

It is called the super volcano Yellowstone. This will not only accomplish these stated plagues in one day. It will also cause the effect of creating the lake of fire all those that sin are destine to be placed within. Its devastation will be enough to wipe out the entire nation as well as parts of Canada and Mexico. The effects of this eruption are described in the sixth chapter of Revelation.

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?”

However, remember this statement in Revelation chapter eighteen:

“Lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.” 

Those that repent and get rid of their covetousness will receive the promise Christ has given us.

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.”

People think talking like this is a joke. Especially when it comes to their precious mammon. Jesus knew how people would think and behave.

Matthew 6:24 NKJV – “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.

By refusing to see that mammon is your riches, your property and your possessions you show who you worship and it is not God. That is why so many laugh, ridicule and refuse to downsize. To quote a woman I asked the question “Have you downsized?” Her reply: “Have I downsized?? To what? Less faith? Less Truth? Less relationship? NO!!!”

Her answer said it all. She didn’t even know the True Word of God. This is a prime example of how the majority that call themselves “Christian” think, believe and act. Living in a world of their own creation. She has let her “heart be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and cares of this life.” As do most of humanity. For they care only for their mammon and not God through Jesus Christ. This is why churches are empty, as they should be. For they do not serve God, but their bottom line of income from people.

Repent

God Bless

They must question the way they think and live. So, they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

I see it clearly. However, most don’t, nor in many cases do they seek to.

It is this last statement that is truly sad. Due to the failure of the institutions called universities, colleges and believe it or not churches. Most are unaware of what is found within the teachings of the Word of God.

They say there is nothing beyond this earthly existence. This empowers them to do the most horrifying things to their fellow human beings. Beings they have been taught within the institutions mentioned before that are lesser than themselves.

What the Word of God truly teaches is to treat all others as our equals and to even treat them better than we would treat ourselves. To be humble.

Romans 12:16 NKJV – Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

Most due to these institutions think themselves wise in their own opinions. It is this mentality that causes wars. It is this mentality that causes murder. It is this mentality that causes racism. It is this mentality that causes people to believe they are superior to those they think are ignorant and simple. I run into this mentality all over social media by those that have not even truly STUDIED the Word of God.

As we look at the way most are acting and behaving currently, we see that most have no knowledge of what is found within the Bible at all. I could describe instances but that would infuriate and that is not my goal at this time. My goal is to help people to seek the light. For the darkness is growing ever darker. For the midnight hour is nearly upon us. For some that may read this at some future date the last stroke of midnight may have already struck.

People, especially in North America, need to awaken now. For their time is more rapidly coming to an end than for most others. Before the midpoint of the tribulation there will be an event that causes the sun, the moon and the stars to diminish in their light. There is only one thing that can cause this to occur. The eruption of a super volcano. It will cause the spewing out of an ash cloud large enough to affect the entire globe and will in essence cause the sky to roll up like a scroll. It will send rocks large enough to be considered a mountain to fly through the air and crash into the ocean.

This is something that should cause people to think as this realization comes into clarity. The Truth of the Bible. For none could have speculated of the existence of a super volcano or even conceive of such an environmental thing could exist at the time these words were placed upon parchment for the first time in the 90s AD. However, the Bible describes it with true and complete clarity and an exact description of its power. Even to the point of mentioning multiple eruptions that continue into the second half of the tribulation period.

Yellowstone, the super volcano, is getting ready to erupt. This will destroy the United States of America as well as parts of Canada and Mexico. The United States has a name within the Bible. It is called the city of Babylon. For once it was great in the sight of God but now it is filled with and run by demons.

Revelation 18:2 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!

Most scholars don’t understand that this verse is speaking of an event that has already occurred. It is just describing why the United States will be destroyed. They didn’t tie together the darkening of the sun and the moon and the stars due to a global ash cloud caused by an eruption of a super volcano. Many who show their true colors of being false teachers mention nuclear warfare or the use of such weapons. That would give men power they have no right to have.

God is the judge, and God will dole out how and when judgement will be fulfilled and how. It will never include the use of tools made by humans. It will be given with His creation to show that He is God and that His Son is our Savior. This is the Truth of all. This is something that false teachers do not see or comprehend. They see from the level of humans, not from God via the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:13 NKJV – These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Most plagues are caused by the sins of humans. The arrogance of humans. They are created by humans. The sun, the moon and the stars dimming are the actions of God and require something of natural creation to cause them to be. The destruction of the city of Babylon, the United States will be done by God for God’s glory and His Son glory and for no other being. That is why the antichrist will run to the third temple and defiled it. So, he can take the credit for God’s judgement upon the now corrupt nation that was once made to follow His True teachings. Which was seen as a great servant to God but is no longer.

This is why these words are said in chapter 18 of the book of Revelation:

Revelation 18:4 NKJV – 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.

Seeking after mammon as always been a major factor that had started the decay of the United States. It is the one sin that came over to the Americas by those that lived in sin in Europe. Its corruption took its toll upon this nation till it cast God out of its schools and then legalized the sacrifice of the unborn upon the alter of earthly comforts and rewards. Which helped in the spread of the ignorance of the Truth of the Word of God to take hold in what was left of this once great nation. Allowing it to be taken over by demons and their worship of whom they follow. The father of all lies. Causing it to be eligible of the name “city of Babylon” and befitting the plagues that it is going to bring upon itself in that fateful day in the near future.

Revelation 18:5-18 NKJV – 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 is the fate all now can escape for there is still time. For the Tribulation has yet to start as of the writing for this podcast. The smallest rapture has not yet occurred.

Turning to the True gospel is required. A life that is not centered upon the self. It must be centered upon God as is taught by the greatest commandment.

Matthew 22:36-40 NKJV – “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 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.”

Note the last verse:

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

This tells us that not only the commandments, but parts of the laws given to use in the books of Exodus, Deuteronomy and Leviticus are still in effect. It is only the laws that revolve around sacrifice that have been removed by the cross. This is made very clear by Christ Himself earlier in the book of Matthew:

Matthew 5:17-19 NKJV – “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

We are to follow all the teachings within the Bible. This is fortified here:

Romans 6:15-23 NKJV – What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Accepting Christ means we become a slave to His teaches and commands, which means they must be followed. Any who says the laws do not affect them heard their answer in verse 15 from the 6th chapter of Romans.

“What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law by under grace? CERTAINLY NOT!”

Any who says you can live your life as you so choose to, is denying this teaching and in so denies the Word of God. And Who is the Word of God.

John 1:1-5 NKJV – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Next you must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ:

John 3:5 NKJV – Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Acts 2:38 NKJV – Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Then we are to downsize, and we are to spread the Word of God as told to the young rich man in three different gospels.

Mark 10:21 NKJV – Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

This is our calling. This is our commission, and we must do this if we desire to enter into the service of God. Do it now. Do it quickly. For time is nearly up. This is how we come out of her for God and be His people. Thus avoiding being wiped out in one day when Yellowstone erupts if you live in North America.

God Bless

Discussion

While there is still some trace of this memory in your minds for those that go to the buildings called a “church.” I wish for you to look upon what many of you may have encountered on the last Sunday service before the celebration of Christmas. As a matter of fact. Jesus was born during Tabernacles which occurs in September. However, let’s get back on topic.

Usually during these Sunday services many churches let the children reenact the birth of Christ. All put their own twist upon it. Within these twists we see the truth of these buildings. The last building I went to that performed this show highlighted a young lady who perform a dance. She oozed of self importance and loved being in the spotlight.

In simple terms. She should never have been allowed to stand upon the dais. Yet she was. Most likely because her family was seen as important people within the congregation. Christ talked about this mentality.

 Luke 16:13-15 NKJV – “No servant 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.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Because this building sought after her family’s money, they allowed this girl to fall further into a belief in her own self value. Leading her further away from God than towards Him. It was truly sorrowful to see and know that since I was just a visitor, I had no voice in this building.

Most buildings that call themselves churches thrive upon allowing sins like this to come into play. All because those that run these businesses need and love money and seek more. Becoming an abomination and making those that come to their buildings into abominations as well.

To become an abomination is to worship the mentality of the antichrist, which is why I say that most the buildings that call themselves “churches” do not serve God, but Satan and they prove it every time they allow things like what I have just given as an example to happens within their walls.

The true church is not a building or those that go to these buildings. But those that truly seek to follow the teachings of Christ, which includes downsizing and seeking to spread the Word of God. It is not allowing people that only seek to glorify themselves to have power within these buildings. We are to make them uncomfortable.

Buildings that are called “churches” technically shouldn’t exist. The true church is to meet in people’s homes. To consist of a small group of people that respect, help and honor those that are about them. There should be someone that ministers to them. However, he should not have come from a collage or a university, but chosen by God to help guide them to being them closer to God and further from the influence of the world.

The true churches should be small communities throughout the world. Never one building where people chose to go to. We are given a model of how we are to live in the book of Acts.

Acts 2:44-47 NKJV – Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

In the 1960’s one of the moves by those that wished to deny God used this concept to make communes. They had the right idea, but they wished to do this without God or His Son Jesus Christ. Therefore, they ultimately failed.

This type of mentality has been tried many times by those that deny God in various ways. It is an attempt to make themselves appear to be righteous not only to others in humanity but themselves as well.

What is bad about this. Is those that go to the buildings called a “church” feel redeemed in their choice and their believe that they are following God. This, however, is the furthest thing from the truth as shown by my earlier example.

It is these actions from other humans that cause people not to see the truth and accept that we are to live in small communities near where we work and use all our resources to help our fellow believers not ourselves who owns and wants earthly desires.

I know of no such place that seeks to do this at this time. But I know that within the thousand-year reign of Christ that this will be the true norm that will come to exist upon this planet till Satan is released once again to corrupt those that live normal human lives toward the end of the Christ’s thousand-year reign.

I have a feeling, but no solid proof, that lifespans may be a bit longer during the thousand-year reign. So, I will go no further with this notion.

Enough speculation.

The topic is the behavior with those within the buildings called “churches.” Let me give you another anecdote.

When I went to high school, I was a wall flower. Now mind you, as a teen, I didn’t mind this too much. Like any normal teen it did affect me, but overall, I would say it was a balance of caring and yet not caring.

Now why bring this up now, forty-six years later?

At the last church I attempted to join I attended a Men’s Retreat. This was the first time I have ever done this. It was an eye-opening experience.

It showed me the humanity of all. This is something that should not make those that go to churches proud. This is not something for those men that do go to Men’s Retreats to feel pride and joy in what they “accomplished,” either.

I was once again the wall flower. The person off to the side looking in. This time though, being a Christian. A follower of Jesus Christ. In a group that professed to being the same. Being the wall flower is somewhere I should not have found myself.

In the way those that are the Pastors, not only of this church I was trying to attend, but any church, teach. Once you are of the family of Christ. You are welcomed and loved as a brother or sister. A fellow child of God.

This was not how I felt. I saw once again the clicks, and social groups of High School. I literally saw myself shoved off to the side. Someone to be ignored and not associated with. This is not the teaching of the Bible. This is not the message of salvation within the Bible.

We cannot, nor ever should, place our beliefs in how those of humanity perceive us. Be they within the fellowship of Jesus Christ or not.

Why is this?

Because they are only human. They have their own interpretation of the Bible, most of which, is flawed and broken. Even my own view is not perfect, nor will it ever be till I stand before God. It is flawed because most have not studied their Bible for themselves and take the word of others.

What I find ironic is the first group session of the retreat was to reach out and to seek to befriend all. Yet those at this gathering really did not listen for the most part. There were those that did embrace this teaching and were outgoing and friendly. Even unto me. Yet for the most part. If you were not of the click you were not welcome within the conversation.

It is sad. Very, very sad.

For they do not see that their own actions turn those away that seek a relationship with Jesus Christ. Yet due to not understanding that God’s love of all is equal and undying. People seeking God see those within a church behaving like the jocks and the preps in High School. Turning their backs upon them instead of welcoming them with arms open. In just the way Jesus Christ Himself is desiring to do. Embracing all that come seeking Him and His Father.

This is one reason churches are dying. For they are filled not with the love of Jesus Christ and His Father. However, they are filled with the exclusion, and the segregation of human scruples which has ever been present. For the separation of social classes due to how humanity sees worldly wealth, to the color of one’s skin.

This is not how God see us. God sees all as equal. Those that accept Him to those that deny Him. God loves ALL OF HUMNAITY.

He desires all to come to Him. To stand before Him. Yet He already knows that most will never do so. To God this is something He has wept about and will weep over once again. For all of humanity must choose their own fate.

Will they come to God through Jesus Christ and accept the teaching of the Bible? Desiring to abandon all sin. Or will they choose to reject Him, because their lusts for the pleasures of this temporal world which are more important to them than their own eternal salvation.

These are lessons even those that go to churches have not fully learned and accepted in many cases. As a result, their actions which causes those that seek to be their fellows in Jesus Christ are shunned and reject. Many times, without them even being aware that they are not acting in a Christian manner.

As a result, there are those like me. That once again feel the emotions and feeling of exclusion that they many have encountered in high school as they became a flower upon the wall.

If you encounter this mentality within a building called a “church” understand that most likely you will encounter it time and again in another, yet another and yet another building.

Learn that this is how it is going to be. For we are no longer in a world that God is the center. To be frank. God has never been the center. He has come close many times. However, humans steal what is God’s and try to keep it for themselves. which results in the two examples I have given here today.

However, we are told that when the darkness within humanity becomes so dark that is when Christ will return as a thief in the night. That is soon. It is time to repent if you profess to being a follower of Christ.

If you deny God. It is time to turn to His Son Jesus Christ if you see that humans are living as humans not as caring humans. Caring for each other. They are not followers of Christ. No matter where they are. In a church or out of one.

Understand it is not the fault of God, but by humans caring only for themselves and no one else. It is selfishness and self-serving that has brought humanity to this point. It is an all-out rejection of God. Which is why Jesus Christ is soon to appear in the sky.

Get right with God now. Accept Jesus Christ, get baptized and downsize.

God Bless

Blog for podcast #242 (Come out of her My people) Part 3 [Why most would Rather be Hypocrites than to follow Christ]

Until further notice the messages that accompany this notice will be part of the “Come out of her my people” series. They will be harsh. They will cause people to get upset. This is as it should be. They must question the way they think and live. So they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

This is a message many will not want to hear or even accept. It will hit too close to home. It will make them uncomfortable. Don’t shoot the messenger. But instead listen to God through His Word: the Bible.

First, we must understand the core of the mentality of being a hypocrite. Therefore, we will define the word.

Hypocrite – Someone who says they have particular moral beliefs but behaves in a way that shows these are not sincere. A person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.

Now this is the label that was given by Jesus Christ Himself to the Pharisees and Scribes. However, the Glorified Christ gave them another name as well.

Revelation 3:15-16 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.

Hypocrites are lukewarm. This is how most that call themselves “Christian” will act and behave just before Jesus Christ returns.

Now this may be a short lesson if this was all there was to see. In fact, most think and see this about what they find in the Bible. It is this short definition that has caused the creation of the lukewarm. Why most that now profess to being “Christian” are the lukewarm.

For they think and care for only one being. They seek the comfort and glorify only one being. Themselves.

Now let us look to the sermon on the mount for more about what defines what a hypocrite is.

Matthew 6:1-4 NKJV – “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

I know of many who make a show of helping those in need. They post it on YouTube. They brag about it on social media. They have their reward. This is hypocrisy even if they profess to follow God or not.

Matthew 6:5-7 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. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

I know of many people that make a show of praying in public. I know of others who insist upon praying aloud in all things. This is the acts of hypocrites.

Matthew 6:16-18 NKJV – “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Once again this is something that I know of many that make a show of this behavior or making it known to all that they are denying themselves nourishment. Once again. This is hypocrisy.

  Matthew 6:19-24 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. “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.

It is these verses that now create most of the lukewarm. Most of the hypocrites. It is these verses that cause the greatest issue to most at this time. However, to those that question this. We have verification from the Glorified Christ.

Revelation 3:17 NKJV – 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—

This verse confirms those from Matthew. If you doubt that. Let us define the word “mammon.”

Mammon – G3126 – mamónas –  riches, money, possessions, property.

The very thing that Jesus said not to gather unto yourselves, which most now do and have been taught to seek after for generations is hypocrisy. As the centuries have gone by more and more seek after mammon. More and more seek after hypocrisy. Most don’t even know that they do this. Which explains these words:

“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!”

Most believe they live in the light of the Lord. However, since they seek after the world, they live in darkness.

“If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness.”

This is why most cannot see that they are hypocrites. That they are the lukewarm and have been vomited out of the Body of Christ by their own actions and desires. Many hearing this don’t want to even contemplate what is being stated here. For to do so would mean they have been living a lie. Listening to lies. That their family members before them have done the same and are not in heaven waiting for them to join them or even made it into heaven. When in reality they are with Death or Hades waiting to be called out when the Great White Throne Judgement occurs.

What is needed now is to acknowledge that yes you have listened to lies. However, you can change and learn the Truth. Start by accepting. Then continue by changing.

One of the greatest teachings within the NT was given three times in three different gospels.

Mark 10:17-21 NKJV – Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,’ ‘DO NOT MURDER,’ ‘DO NOT STEAL,’ ‘DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER.'” And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.” Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

The young rich man followed the commandments. The young rich man thought himself blessed. Christ even looked upon the young man with love. However, he lacks the most important elements to True Faith. To truly attaining eternal life.

“One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

All that have earthly wealth otherwise known as mammon are commanded to sell it all off. Yes all. We are to live off the least for ourselves, because our true riches are not here on earth, but in heaven and the future life that is to come. We are to give those that are True ministers of God ten percent. (Hebrews 7) Then we are to give the rest to those in need. And then use what is left to spread the Word of God.

James 1:27 NKJV – Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Those that keep their earthly wealth unto themselves. Seeking after earthly comforts into their old age are the ultimate examples of the lukewarm. The hypocrites. Those that are destine not unto salvation and eternal servitude unto God in the new heavens and new earth. Spending billions upon billions of year exploring the new universe. Doing as God commands. But are destine to live for all eternity in the lake of fire, which is located in one spot. Where there is fire and worms that live as long as they. Forever.

Revelation 21:8 NKJV – But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

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

Isaiah 66:24 NKJV – “And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.

Abandon what you thought was the truth. Accept the real Truth given to us by God through His Son our Savior Jesus Christ.

Cast off the desires, lusts and luxuries of this world. Sell off that which was never offered by God ever. (1 John 2:15-16) Use your earthly wealth to help those in need. Then spread the True Gospel.

Understand that Paul when he was Saul was extremely wealthy. When he was killed for spreading the Truth he died a pulper. He had used his earthly wealth to learn the Truth and then to spread this Truth to the gentiles, as was his calling.

Your called this moment is to sell off all your earthly mammon and use the excess to help those in need. Then as said a moment ago spread the True Word of God. For time is quickly running out.

God Bless

Discussion

Now we have to come to an understanding people. There are three camps within the USA at this time. Those that deny God and believe they have a moral right to dictate to others how to live their lives so that they can live as they want to live. Then there are those that have been celebrating the last few weeks due to the election of Trump back into the office of the president of the USA just so they can have their mammon. Those that live to celebrate the soon return of their earthly income so they can get more of their possessions and property. Then we have the smallest group. Those that wish to follow Jesus Christ as their Savior and so spread the Word of God and live a needs-only lifestyle. Living off the least of their earthly income and using the majority to help those in need and to continue in teaching that Jesus Christ is soon to return.

As to the second group there are many that think they are amongst the last group. That is a lie, and they show it by keeping and seeking after mammon. They think they are in the light when in reality they are in darkness. Thus making themselves an abomination in the sight of God.

Matthew 6:19-24 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. “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.

Luke 16:13-15 NKJV – “No servant 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.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

As to those that deny God outright. They are also mentioned in the Bible. To be exact. In the first chapter on the letter to the Romans.

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.

Think now folks. Think hard. Has there not been malicious behavior. Has there not been whispers, backbiting, unforgiveness? Well? Take a hard look at your own way of thinking. Your own behavior for the last few weeks. Has there not been calls of racism of looking down upon women by certain parties? Has not many women shaved their hair and said they would deny their husbands what they are not just by duty but out of love to their husbands to offer unto them.

As to those that worship possession, property and money, which is how mammon is defined. Has there not been this behavior within your own group as well? Well? Ok now.

You of the first two groups need to start to listen and take the blinders off your eyes. By the way. The news media is a form of blinder. Turn off the stupid TV. Stop listening to the news. Yes, I am speaking to both groups.

Next go and get a Bible if you don’t have one. If you do have one. If it is an NIV Bible throw it in the trash. Then Go out and get a real Bible. KJV or if you must a NKJV. Why throw out the NIV? Because it is a false gospel. Yes, the entire book is filled with lies and omissions. ANYTHING filled with lies and omissions becomes a false gospel and those that made it fall under the curses given to those that do such a thing in Galatians chapter one.

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 made the NIV created a people pleasing message and so are twice cursed to damnation. I didn’t say it. The Holy Spirit did through the apostle Paul. Any who challenge this deny the Word of God and if you deny the Word of God, you also deny your salvation.

John 1:1-3 NKJV – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

Matthew 10:33 NKJV – But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

Now we come to the next important step. If you profess to being “Christian.” REPENT!

If you have denied there is a God and only humans are the greatest beings in existence. Forget you ever thought like that and then ask Jesus Christ to become your Savior. For if you truly desire eternal life, you MUST do this.

Now a special note to those that say there is no God and that they cannot attain eternal life, but the following generations of humanity will achieve a higher lifeform that will live forever. This is another lie.

Right now, right this moment all humanity will have eternal life. A higher lifeform. A body that will last for billions upon billions of years. The only difference will be each person’s destination. For there are only two destinations. One that will focus upon True life, the other will be suffering in eternal pain.

Now stop getting upset and making false accusations. Yes, I am talking to those that just started saying that is why God is not real for no being would intentionally send people to eternal suffering.

The thing is there are such beings. You know how you can find them. Look in a mirror and look hard. For that being is yourself. And it is you that you are damning if you don’t listen to what is being said right now.

We can no longer put off for tomorrow what must be done right at this very moment. Your eternal life depends on it.

What else is required?

Following the laws of the land that do not go against what is taught in the Bible and speaking of the Bible. Following all the commandments that were not removed by the cross.

When it comes to following the laws of the land. One that most refuse to follow now. The speed limit. Also, the use of handicap placards. Most that use the placards actually don’t have a legitimate claim to use them. This is proven by the fact they don’t get handicap license plates. For there is no additional cost to get a handicap license plates. However, most pursue the placards. It is little things like this that show people are not members of the third group. The group that is to be hunted and hated, much like how many are responding to these words that have been written down and spoken today.

If you aren’t ignored. If you aren’t looked down upon. If you are not making people feel uncomfortable you are definitely not within the third group. Especially at this time. Especially by those that think they are returning to prosperity in a few months. It is this prosperity that will lead more to damnation than the way that those that deny God want to go. Those that wish to force their way of thinking upon others. That way actually could lead many to true Salvation. For those that are persecuted by those wishing to force their views upon them turn to God not deny Him. However, those that live in prosperity turn their backs upon God and worship the humans that brought them to their mammon.

This was shown and taught within the OT time and again to the tribes of Israel. For that is what the OT is. An operator’s manual for those that profess to being Christian. As well as following the laws within it that were not removed by the cross. By the way only the laws governing sacrifice were removed. For example the law that tell us not to get tattoos is still in effect for 1 in every 4 humans has a tattoo, which means it is of the world.

Romans 12:1-2 NKJV – I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

“And do not be conformed to this world.”

Then what follows these words:

“But be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Getting tatts is against the will of God. Disobeying the speed limit is not acceptable to God. Following the commands which start with the greatest commands are to be followed.

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.”

So don’t even attempt to throw out the slavery card or the racist card. For those that truly follow Christ treat all as they themselves wish to be treated. None would place themselves into slavery and degrade themselves due to another’s skin tone. So don’t even try to use that lame excuse, for it is truly an excuse made of true ignorance of the Word of God. Which is why it is so important to STUDY the Word of God for yourselves, and never take the word of others……. Even me.

Repent, accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. Downsize. Live a needs-only existence. Then spread the Word of God.

God Bless

Discussion

Exodus 32:33 NKJV – And the LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.

And what book is being referred to here? For that answer we look to the book of Revelation:

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.”

The book referred to in Exodus is the Book of Life. And shows that those that are written in the Book of Life can sin and in so doing can be removed from that very book.

A statement most especially those that profess to being “Christian” do not wish to hear. For to hear would mean they have lived a lie. A lie that they are favored by God Himself, for they are blessed beyond all belief with their earthly rewards.

Words that are saved in their minds. Words that shows they have no true knowledge of the Word of God. Nor, in most cases the True Word of God has never even been heard by their ears. So they do not know these words found within the Bible:

2 Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV – All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Nor do they know or acknowledge these Word:

Romans 2:11 NLT – For God does not show favoritism.

Or these:

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.

For to acknowledge these Word spoken by the Holy Spirit unto those that penned the words to parchment would mean that they do not worship the True God of the Universe, but the god of this world.

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.

A god who rewards with what he has been power to give to all that worship him.

Luke 4:6 NKJV – And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

Anger rises. Hatred for what has been spoken, what they have just read says they are not welcome into heaven. They say I, the messenger, am a liar. I show what the Word of God says, what the Holy Spirit instructed Paul to write down on parchment:

Galatians 5:19-21 NKJV – Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The works of the flesh are…. Hatred…. Contentions…. Outbursts of wrath…. That those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Which means they have sinned against God as was made clear in Exodus:

“Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.”

This shows that God does not show favoritism. That seeking after the world is to seek rewards from Satan Himself. Which brings the reality to the statement:

James 4:4 NKJV – Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Why should someone that has a huge house, fancy vehicles and clothing be rewarded with eternal life when they show where their heart is.

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.

Those that seek after worldly treasures and rewards shows that their heart belongs to the one who rewarded them, which as the Bible has shown is not God the Creator of the universe, but the father of all lies.

John 8:44 NKJV – You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

His lies say to those that listen that they can have it all and they will be welcomed into heaven. This is when he murders those that listen. For it is made clear that what they seek after is what all men seek after. What they esteem.

Luke 16:13-15 NKJV – “No servant 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.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

As I have taught multiple times in the past. The word “abomination” is used six times in the NT. Four of those times it describes the antichrist and those that willingly follow that person. Therefore, those that seek after earthly riches, money, possessions and property follow the antichrist’s mentality and so are worthy to be removed from the Book of Life. For they are the lukewarm.

Revelation 3:15-17 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—

When they are vomited from the Body of Christ they are blotted out of the Book of Life. Again, people don’t want to hear this and blame the messenger. All I have done is show the Word of God. The dictation of the Holy Spirit whose name is Jesus Christ.

If what you have heard angers or upsets, it is because it is the Truth. Yes, that means all you have heard before, from other humans that do not preach this Truth was a lie. That is obvious by the fact that you still seek after what the world seeks after. The fact that it disturbed you. That is not my fault.

The problem is the lies have become so ingrained into the world that no one really wants to hear what is real. Because for centuries people have been born, lived and then died in the lie of the world. Many thinking they have lived a Godly life. However, since they sought after money, riches, property and possessions they led a life of lies that doesn’t lead to heaven, but to eternal death. This is why Jesus Christ said this:

Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV – “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Then shortly later said this:

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!’

When you argue against these Truths with vigor you are in essence denying Jesus Christ publicly.

Matthew 10:33 NKJV – But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

When Jesus Christ denies you to his Father, He is also blotting your name form the Book of Life.

If this makes you laugh, or not think this is the Truth then you have shown all that God is not within you, nor most likely never was. Therefore, the verse from John chapter eight fully applies to you. So, I will restate it.

John 8:44 NKJV – You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

And what is the fate of those that have their names no longer written in 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.

God Bless

Luke 6:30-34 NKJV – Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.

I was reminded the other day that many who live in sin and even denial of God Himself do good. They love, they care for their loved ones. They go about living as decent earthly law abiding citizens. However, they deny the Godly laws and so live in sin.

This is why these things are not considered works. Yet we are all judged by our works. This is verified to those that profess to being “Christian” In Romans 2:1-11. To all others in Revelation 20:11-15.

Then what constitutes the works we are judged upon? That is actually easy to answer. However, most refuse to obey.

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 my name, 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.

Make disciples of all the nations.

Baptize them in the name of Jesus Christ.

Teach them to observe all things that Jesus commanded.

So let us look at what Jesus commanded.

Matthew 5:17-19 NKJV – “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Remove anger from your heart (Matthew 5:21-26)

Do not even think of lusting after anyone (Matthew 5:27-30)

Only divorce in cases of sexual immorality or not at all (Matthew 5:31-32)

Do not swear an oath on anything especially God (Matthew 5:33-37)

Do not retaliate or seek vengeance (Matthew 5:38-42)

Love your enemies and be kind to those that hate you and persecute you (Matthew 5:43-48)

When you give to those in need do it where you will receive no recognition by anyone safe God Himself (Matthew 6:1-4)

Never pray in public where others can see you and only pray in the way shown in these verses (Matthew 6:5-15)

When you fast do so in secret, so no human is aware that you do so. (Matthew 6:16-18)

Do not seek after earthly wealth, property or possessions. For if you do seek after it you will care more for these things than for God and His Son Jesus Christ. You will think that you are the light of God but in reality, you are blind and live in evil darkness. (Matthew 6:19-24)

Do not worry about your daily troubles for they are a test to see if you will depend upon God through Jesus Christ. (Matthew 6:25-34)

Do not judge others when you are committing the very same sins. First remove the sins from your life then you can teach others not to commit these sins. (Matthew 7:1-5)

Do not try to help those that will turn and attack you. (Matthew 7:6)

Matthew 7:12 NKJV – Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

These are Christ’s commandments in addition to following those laws and commands from the prophets that were not removed by the cross. For clarification. Only those laws governing sacrifice were removed by the cross. All other laws on how to live. How to dress, and to govern how we live are still in effect and governed by the greatest commandments.

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.”

These two are the most important. To live with God at the center of our daily lives. To treat all others as we would treat ourselves.

Would you do evil to yourself? Really, would you? Then stop throwing out the cruelty of humans in the past. Did you live then? Did you commit these cruelties? Then stop using them as an excuse not to place God at the center of your life and to treat all others as you treat yourself.

Then actually start to follow the commandments.

Now we all need to get this into our heads. How we live now. Especially if you profess to being a follower of Christ. Is not. I repeat is not how Christ taught us to live. Only an extremely few live or strive to live their lives as taught by Jesus Christ.

Extremely view.

Get that into your heads.

We have to abandon all that we have thought and been taught by humanity. We must embrace a new mentality. One that begins with living a needs-only lifestyle as taught within the Bible.

1 Timothy 6:6-19 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. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. 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.

This is how we are to live. This is how we are to act. How most live and act now is not what the Bible has taught. In fact, Jesus mentioned this behavior.

Luke 16:13-15 NKJV – “No servant 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.” Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Mammon – G3126 – mamónas – riches, money, possessions, property.

Riches, money, possessions, property. All this is what men esteem and so is an abomination in the sight of God.

As I have taught in the past. The word “abomination” is only used six times in the NT. Four of those times it is in reference to the antichrist and those that follow him. Therefore, seeking after riches. Seeking after money. Seeking after possessions. Seeking after property. All this is seen as being as equal to the antichrist.

This explains all the cruelty. All the hatred. All the destruction humans have done to other humans since before Christ. In fact, even before the flood. It is a cycle of abomination that will only end when God creates the new heaven and new earth.

However, we must strive to follow Jesus Christ if we accept Him as our Savior. Which means to reject all things that are an abomination in the sight of His Father.

God Bless

It is once again time to for some hard truth. Most will tune out. Others will deny it pertains to them. It doesn’t change the fact that it is the truth. They will still do nothing to fix their relationship with God. Because to them they are fine with God. They are going to heaven. They will stand before God in robes of white.

This is the furthest thing from the truth.

Most that believe they are all good and well with God live under the man-made teachings of faith alone and OSAS. They say that the laws are not needed. That all you need to do is believe in God and Jesus is their Savior. However, they live their lives without changing. They still seek after what the world seeks after.

They think they are better than those about them because they go to church on Sunday. Then leave the buildings to go play golf or watch the modern-day gladiator sports called Baseball, Basketball, Football, amongst others. They leave these buildings in expensive vehicles with all the bells and whistles built into them.

All of this is sin. All this labels them as lukewarm. But they don’t want to hear this. They just want to keep living their lives as they want. Not as God tells them to live it, but how they want to live it. With all their comforts and earthly pleasures.

All the while they are losing their salvation. Again, here will be denial and arguments from those that wish to believe they are exempt and special in the sight of God.

The mere fact that these thoughts crossed their minds shows they don’t know the Bible. That all their thoughts were opposite what Jesus Christ taught. Therefore, this announces to the world and more specifically to God Himself that if they were “Christian” they are not bearing fruit. If they think they are “Christian” they really aren’t.

Those that are angry right now. Those that are calling me a liar right now. It is time for your trial.

Let’s work backwards from what has been stated here.

  1. You believe you are exempt and special in the sight of God.

Romans 2:11 NLT – For God does not show favoritism.

This is the last sentence in a paragraph that is dedicated to speaking directly to those that call themselves “Christian” and live in these sins listed in Romans chapter one.

Romans 1:28-32 NKJV – 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.

Now look to yourself. Have you done these sins? Are you living these sins? Then you are guilty as charged. You are losing your salvation or were never saved. This is from the Bible. Not me. From God, and it is God you are calling a liar. Which seals that verdict against you.

  • Who are the “lukewarm?”

Revelation 3:15-17 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—

“You say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy and have need of nothing.’”

Are you living in an expensive house? Do you horde your earthly wealth for yourself? Are you seeking after and gathering unto yourself possessions? You have so much you have need of nothing? Not want, need.

The Bible teaches this:

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.

Those that seek after the what moths will eat and what rust will destroy and what can be stolen. This is where their heart is. It is not with God at all. Again guilty as charged. Again by the Word of God. They have been vomited out of the Body of Christ. Therefore, they are no longer in the Body of Christ.

How are they supposed to live their lives?

1 Timothy 6:6-8 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.

You are to be content with a needs-only lifestyle. If you have wealth what are you to do?

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.

We are to share our earthly wealth and this can ONLY be accomplished by living a needs-only lifestyle. For we are to have this cash available this wealth ready at a moments notice to help those in need. This is impossible for those that horde their wealth for themselves as well as their wants and lusts. This is how most now live their lives that profess to being “Christian.” Therefore, as we have just established they are guilty of sinning against God per the Word of God and most refuse to repent. They are confessing to the world and any with an ear to hear and an eye to see that they are not of the Body of Christ.

What can you do to fix your relationship with God? For that we will turn to the Bible once again.

Ephesians 5:1-21 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. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.

Let’s beak down how we are to act as true followers of Christ.

“Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us.”

To show love is to abandon the self. True love places all others before ourselves or our wants, lusts or desires. That is what it means to be imitators of God through Christ.

“But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints.”

Those that seek after the large house, the fancy vehicles and the tons of possessions are covetous and idolators. Period. We are told not to be this way for it is not the ways of a Christian. Therefore once we accept Christ as our Savior we MUST down-size. We must reduce our financial footprint and seek to live off of the least of your earthly wealth. For the majority belongs to God.

Lets break down the words: fornication and uncleanness.

Fornication – G4202 – porneia – whoredom, harlotry (including adultery and incest) pornography.

Uncleanness – G167 – akatharsia – impurity (physically or morally) no cursing, no tattoos, no piercings.

Again. Right here people will be throwing a hissy fit. Here we go again to another part of the bible.

Romans 12:1-2 NKJV – I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

“And do not be conformed to this world.” 1 in 4 people on this earth has a tattoo. This means tattoos are of this world. Therefore if you seek after tattoos especially religious ones you insult God, and have earned what is spoken of in 2 Peter 2:

2 Peter 2:20-22 NKJV – For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A DOG RETURNS TO HIS OWN VOMIT,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

Let’s continue how you should show you are a child of God.

“Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.”

Let’s look at this from the amplified bible:

Let there be no filthiness (obscenity, indecency) nor foolish and sinful (silly and corrupt) talk, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting or becoming; but instead voice your thankfulness [to God].

If you challenge all that had been said to this point. I will re-read the next verse.

Ephesians 5:5 NKJV – 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.

“Nor covetous man, who is an idolater.” Let this be very clear. God doesn’t care how much you go to the buildings called “churches.” It is your behavior. It is you actions. It is your works that matter.

If you seek after earthly wealth, possessions. If you live in sin, have tattoos you are not going to heaven, by your own actions. Your own choices. Your own words that leave your lips.

That is unless you truly repent. And truly seek to follow the commandments given to us within the Bible. The Bible is not full us suggestions. It is full of rules that must be followed. You can’t have wealth, possessions and huge homes. For the money you used to get that was God’s not yours.

Repent. Downsize. NOW! Right now. Not tomorrow. NOW!

God Bless

Discussion

Since before the great flood humanity has sought after the here, the now. Part of the here and now is the collection of objects and possessions to worship and admire. This is spelled out in the first chapter of Romans:

Romans 1:18-23 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.

Important phrases are within the verses. One of which is:

“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.”

We will return to the other element later. Because this one needs to be expanded upon. God makes it known to every single human that is alive or has ever lived that He does exist. In many ways it is subtle. In others it is right in their face. However, God wants them to know he does exist. He wants them to make a choice between Him or a temporal existence. All about us is the subtle. Most reject the blatant, simply because it is in their face at that moment and they respond in a retaliatory manner instead of an accepting one. It is something I see nearly daily. God is trying to get people’s attention. Most reject His advances.

Why? Because they like how they have things.

Part of this response has been handed down from one generation to the next for centuries. They have been sold a bill of goods which says they can live their lives as they desire. That seeking after worldly property and possessions is the norm and what all should seek after. Especially if they profess to being Christan.

The thing is. These are all lies. Yes, you heard that correctly: lies. Only one being gives earthly rewards and he does this to reward those that follow his lies.

Luke 4:6 NKJV – And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

Most do not acknowledge this verse for to do so would mean they follow lies as I have just established. Yet Jesus knew this and made it very clear in one of His talks to the people of the tribes of Israel.

John 8:42-44 NKJV – Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Now note how Jesus started this statement: “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God.”

How is it we are to show our love for Christ?

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

Therefore, following the commandments not removed by Christ going to the cross will continue as He made very clear:

Matthew 5:17-19 NKJV – “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Now I wish to go back to John chapter eight once again.

“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.”

“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do.”

Now in the next sentence the desires of the devil are detailed. He is a murderer and does not stand in the truth.

What is the Truth within the Bible.

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.

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.

Most store treasures in this world which is not from the God our Father. However, most profess to being followers of God. Many through Jesus Christ. What does this turn them into?

James 4:4 NKJV – Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

This means they have not listened to the Truth and so they are the enemy of God no matter whom they profess to follow. Therefore, they are dead. Therefore, they have been murdered by father of all lies Satan. Who has rewarded those that follow him with earthly rewards. Masking their death not only to themselves, but the world as well. For they have chosen eternal death and damnation for a few temporal trinkets and bobbles. Like a fancy house or houses, fancy vehicles and earthly wealth. All of which was never given unto them by the Father as made clear in first John.

Let us move on to the next key element of the first chapter of Romans.

“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.

Within this statement we see humanities choice to make for themselves a “god” in their own image. One which allows them to seek after and covet temporal wealth. This in turn leads them to entering into sin, of their own free-will. Choices which leads to the sins described in the next part of Romans chapter one.

Romans 1:24-32 NKJV – 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.

Many that profess to being “Christian” are confronted in chapter two of Romans, which again most do not want to hear or accept.

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.

Most Christians reject these words as not pertaining to them. But since most live in fancy houses and adornment it does make them qualify. But, by choice they reject it all for that would mean they would have to change their ways, which they refuse to do. Turning the Ture God into a god for their own making which is corrupt. A liar, who gleefully rewards them with earthly treasures which will rot away. Having no true value to anyone. Therefore, it leads them to damnation and eternal death and destruction.

But then that is their choice.

God Bless

Discussion

Last week we started the case against those that profess to being “Christian.” That go to church on Sunday. Yet they live or seek after large houses. They seek fancy vehicles. They seek after and gather possessions.

Many that do this believe they are special, exempt, chosen. (Romans 2:11) Many even act haughty because they are rich and important in their own eyes. (Romans 12:16)

The Verdict.

As was established last week most of these that live this way are false Christians. The case was proven through the Word of God not by hearsay or conjecture. However, there will be those that still wish to throw out the “you are judging” card.

So, let’s go to a judgement. The ultimate judgement. The judgment for all those that missed the rapture, which will be most that now profess to being “Christian” at this very time. As well as the millions that have passed from this earth over the last two thousand years that also professed this very belief as well.

Revelation 20:11-15 NKJV – Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

How are those that stand before the judgement tried?

“And books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.”

“And the dead were judged according to the their works.”

Works – G2041 – ergon – work, task, employment; action; that which is wrought or made, a work. Toil (as an effort or occupation), by implication an act, deed, doing, labor.

Also, note what is said in Roman 2 for those that profess to being “Christian.”

Romans 2:5-11 NKJV – But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who “WILL RENDER TO EACH ONE ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.

“Will render to each one according to his deeds.”

As we read and heard in the definition of the word “works.” The word “deeds” is within the definition. Therefore, any who say works is not a requirement for salvation are calling the Judge that sits in the Great White Throne a liar. This accusation by the way counts as an action, a deed, works, against the Judge.

Any who calls the Judge a liar works for the father of all lies. But then Jesus Christ knew that and called out those that worked for their father.

John 8:44 NKJV – You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

This is an item within the books that is used to convict those that think their name is written in the Book of Life. This is why Jesus said these words:

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!’

They think they served God through Jesus Christ. However, they received earthly rewards, and in most cases, they teach others not to follow the commandments of Christ. Thus, making them those that practice lawlessness.

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

Therefore, since they are not known to Jesus Christ and so defy him. Who is it that rewards with earthly rewards?

Luke 4:6 NKJV – And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

These are written in their book of their life’s works and is used against them. In the trial before the Great White Throne.

However, once they have been vomited out of the Body of Christ their name is no longer written in the Book of Life. As is witnessed again from the Word of God:

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.

“I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.”

And.

“He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life.”

“Blot out his name from the Book of Life.”

Through their works they are seen as dead, otherwise known as removed from the Book of Life. Murdered by Satan by rewarding them with earthly rewards which rot and rust away.

Many will protest and become angry at these words. Those that do this add more to the books which document their works, which will be read before the Great White Throne. Why will their protest and anger be used against them?

Galatians 5:19-21 NKJV – Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

“Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

Again the verdict is given from the Word of God.

In another book in the NT the verdict is given out that will be passed down on the great day of judgement before the Great White Throne:

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 NKJV – Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

Time is very quickly running out. The first rapture is due any time. Only those that live a needs-only lifestyle and do their best to spread the True Word of God, as well as helping those in need with their earthly riches will see the kingdom of Heaven. This is made very clear within Christ’s teachings.

It is now that change and true repentance must come. For without doing so those that reject these Truths pass judgement upon themselves as it has always been and always will. By their own works as is make very clear within the Bible.

For only by faith and works do we show loyalty to God through Jesus Christ.

James 2:26 NKJV – For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
