THE MAJOR ERRORS OF CHRISTIAN ZIONISM

2jerusalem-oldnew_city3

Genesis 12:3  “I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

Hebrews 11 :1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

God’s everlasting covenant with Abraham is firstly not  the JEWISH  or the ARABIC nations he would birth rather it is solely  the Christian Church, the Church of Jesus Christ. The  the promises of the covenant are to be understood literally or spiritually not in terms of  the defunct, old covenant shadow but in the  new covenant of Jesus Christ, of God  in reality. the truths that  many falsely refuse to face, admit . 

Matthew 1
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

Acts 3
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

Matthew 3
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Matthew 8
11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

Luke 1
55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

Acts 13
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

Luke 3
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Luke 13
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

John 8
33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Romans 4
1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Galatians 3
6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

 

Mark 12
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

Luke 16
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

 “Zionism,  the national movement of  the return of the Jewish people to their homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel, is not substantiated in the New Testament, is not from God..

http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2010/08/09/even-heaven-awaits-jewish-return-to-god-jesus-christ-and-rather-not-to-the-promised-earthly-land/

.

While the Jews had a  special relationship  with God in terms of their past national destiny and their  national homeland it all has been lost because of their  rejection of Jesus as Messiah, and therefore the Church has become the new Israel. The Church has then inherited all the blessings promised to Israel and  the judgments and curses still remain over the Jewish people.

.

God does not show the Jews a racial  favouritism or  special  favours or exclusive status as God always  is no respecter of persons, He is not a racist.  Acts 10: 34 “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:”

.

Clearly Bible ignorant professing Christians even are swayed by the false Christian Zionism’ that misleads  so many Christians along today. The Middle East Council of Churches (MECC), drawing together the historic as well as evangelical churches of the Holy Land, rejects Christian Zionism ‘ for representing a heretical interpretation of Holy Scripture’, and even the Rev  John Stott has described it as ‘biblically anathema’. There is no New testament evidence that the Jesus or  apostles had believed that the Jewish people now  still had a divine right to the land, or that they Jewish possession of the land would be important, let alone that Jerusalem itself would remain a central aspect of God’s purposes for the world. The emphasis is on a new Heavenly Jerusalem.  The new Heavenly Jerusalem   http://mccainvrsobama.wordpress.com/2010/10/15/the-new-heavenly-jerusalem/

.

The false Christians favouring the rebuilding of the destroyed by God  temple in  Jerusalem falsely advocate a return to the very practices made the same temple redundant by the once-and-for-all atoning work of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

.

Too many Jewish organizations  presently do beguile Christians in various ways, including falsely leading them (1) to ignore Jewish mistreatment of Palestinians; (2) to believe Israel’s interests are more important than America’s and are morally sufficient to wage unprovoked wars; 93) demand the false worship of Jews, the Old Testament, Mosaic laws, Jerusalem, Israel  too  and (4) to pay Jews’ travel expenses for aliyah, their immigration to Israel.

.

The  false interpretation of biblical literalism of Christian Zionism leads them to falsely  to demonise Arabs and Palestinians as permanent Satanic enemies of the Jewish people…  Christian Zionism a false teaching that focuses on the Jews in the land rather than an inclusive theology that centres on Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world  consequently provides a theological endorsement for racial segregation, apartheid and war. This is diametrically opposed to the inclusive theology of justice, peace and reconciliation which lie at the heart of the new covenant, the New Testament, the teachings of  Jesus Christ and his Apostles too.

.

The Jewish state of Israel is seen by many Christians rather  at best  as tolerable and at worst positively immoral, a country that is not to be supported on biblical grounds.

BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS

Now as to the book of Revelations most decent Bible scholars say the symbols in Revelation refer to events and places familiar to its intended audience – Firstly to the first century Christians in Asia Minor. The book, itself, states that its message is directed at the first century Christians in Asia Minor, and that the events it describes would happen “soon” (Revelation 1: 1-4, 1:9-11, 22:10). Face it  next even now there is much disagreement as to the actual interpretation of this book.

The Old testament prophecy of Jeremiah clearly stated that the original Babylon would be destroyed, never to be inhabited again. The physical city of Babylon was originally built by Nimrod after the flood. It was located on the Euphrates River, about 55 miles south of where Baghdad, Iraq stands today. The name Babylon came from the Tower of Babel that was constructed there. Babylon became a large city of global prominence around 1728 BC during the reign of Hammurabi. The glory years of Babylon were achieved under Nebuchadnezzar II (604-562 BC). The city declined during the reign of Belshazzar, and came to ruin when Xerxes, the Persian king, destroyed it in 478 BC. Thus, Jeremiah’s prophesied destruction of Babylon was accomplished, and, just as the prophecy said, it has never been inhabited to this day

.

The city Babylon described in Revelation is Jerusalem which is called “Mystery Babylon.” The prophecy of Mystery Babylon is found in Revelation 17:3-5. “So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

.

Verse 18 of the chapter tells us that the woman is a city. “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” In verse 1, we are told that the woman sits on many waters. Verse 15 explains the meaning of the waters. “And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” Not only is this woman a city, but the city is apparently the headquarters over a vast international commerce, financial, political system. The Angel’s warning was that God’s people might hear His voice saying: “Come out of her, MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Rev. 18:4

Do you have amnesia or you in denial?

2_n

Many  in the Christian faith  have a memory problem,  amnesia or maybe denial. They have forgotten who they were, and are now still  sinners.. and whence they came, they were  born in Sin and next they still are slaves of Jesus Christ. We must all  still  reject any doctrine that does not lead us only towards holiness and to exalting Christ as well.  Believe it in your heart; and say it with your mouth will not come to pass if it is not God’s conformed word for you too. .

Jude 4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Christianity in the western world has been falsely and heavily influenced in many quarters by the confession by faith movement,  cheapened grace in the form of a positive confession,  and a Prosperity Gospel one that are not Holy Spirit inspired.. But is a carnal Movement of the flesh and the devil where the supposed Christian believer is now elevated to the position of being a God-man in the same way Jesus was a God-man. We can confess the promises of God that God has personally now confirmed as being applicable to us, and if in doubt merely ask God to confirm his word, his promise to  you.. but confessing the desires of your evil heart, lusts is not acceptable.. I have seen Christian liars who would not confess they were sick, or that they had sinned, were sinners,   when it was very obvious they were for they were really not seeing honestly themselves  as God sees us.. 

The false  move among the positive confession folks also includes now a confession that they are holy and pure and blameless and loved by God despite their still  false denial they living in in unrepentant  sin, are thus being unrealistic. It is absurd for one to they can break the laws of the land, cheat, lies, steal, abuse others, slander others,  or watch ungodly movies or listen to ungodly music or do whatever they desire because they are  still “loved by God” and “holy in Christ.” We can confess all day long that we are this or that but if our lives are marked by sin and rebellion, we are not forgiven, are still going to Hell, our prayers are not even being heard or answered.

 To be personally  forgiven of our sins we need to daily even admit, confess them and renounce them as well as to ask God’s forgiveness for them.

Scripture, however, is clear on this issue  1 John 3: 4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.

John 8:34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

2 Corinthians 7:1  Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.

 Some lie and claim that our positive thinking or our ordinary words alone, can changes our negative circumstances  or  under certain circumstances, become vehicles for creative or supernatural power on earth. they lie and say that our words can control both the spirit world and the physical world.  This gives too much credit to mostly still sinful mankind in whom there is still nothing good in them alone.. What people merely speak things into existence?  Dream on deceived carnal souls.. Occultists also do  believe and practice this but they are giving the devil permission to act falsely on their words. Many falsely thus do teach that our own words are so powerful that they can influence the physical and spiritual worlds, but in reality now not without Jesus, we can do nothing without him still. . The word  Creation of one’s desires  is not substantiated by the word of God, the Holy Spirit, by faith is not taught anywhere in the Bible even if some claim otherwise..  Praying in Jesus name is..

Further more Jesus himself was always firstly submitted to the direct revealed will of the Father, did all things by the leading of the Holy Spirit as well and not the carnal mind, the corrupted body. When most preachers, even Word-Faith teacher or their teachings are openly exposed,  criticized, there absurdly  often  will be allegations of “sowing division in the body” or lack of belief in healing, or demons, or the miraculous, clearly a false denials  cover-up for their false teaching, even with false threats of damnations, false slanders, and name calling.. yes that is how the devil and the carnal flesh, ungodly person  often reacts still. Christians are still told to compare any teachings, and the gospel they bring, to the Word of God and to cast off any that contradict Scripture (Acts 17:11; Galatians 1:6-9; 1 Thessalonians 5:21).

 If major error are now  been found and exposed they still need to should be dealt with in love for the truth, and compassion for all  those damaged by the deception, as well as a rightfully request for the false preacher to repent now too. 

Jesus came so that man’s spirit might be re-created  in having  dominion over the Earth but it is still always  directly subject to the Will of God.. Re-created Christian men  now do  have the full nature of God… nor the full ability of God and are not independent of God.. dominionism is not also   filling in their false lusts and false desires.. “Everything that does not come from faith is sin” (Rom. 14:23). And faith comes from exercising the revealed will of God to you, as confirmed in his word, the Bible.

Any teaching that exalts man or the flesh or allows for ongoing sinning without a call to repentance is not the Full gospel.  The Full gospel is a call to repent (Acts 2:38; 17:30-31; Romans 2:4; 2 Corinthians 7:10).  The Full gospel is a call to holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16).  The Full gospel includes a radical transformation wrought in us by the Spirit of God (2 Corinthians 5:17).  Thus when the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us, He, by nature of His presence, begins to make us holy and pure (Philippians 2:12-16; Hebrews 10:10, 14).  Our aim always as children of God is to be like Jesus (1 John 2:6) in all that we say or do (Philippians 4:8-9). We know that we can’t be holy apart from Jesus and the Holy Spirit. and  as we abide in Him, He helps us to be holy (Romans 8:12-14).  The reality of our holiness is that we are also holy through our personal daily repentances of our sinful acts too.

Jms.4:17: “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” Jam 1:14-16  “But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren”  1 Peter 4:18: “Now If the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” And anyone who lies and I  stopped sinning is really nuts too.. I Jn.1:8-10  “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned,  we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”

And anyone who removes our salvation, healing, deliverance, redemption, sanctification, holiness, prosperity, etc.  by the way of the finished  work on the Cross of Jesus Christ is teaching another gospel and they will face damnation in Hell  for doing so still.. no matter how many Bible verse they even do quote to you now too.. Remember that.

the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch

relgious freak

As to now why are so many Christians falling for false doctrine in today’s churches?  And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Matt 24:10-11 –

They are still mostly carnal and not spiritual as they do not know still Jesus, the holy Spirit or the Bible basically..so the devil and his followers can so easily lie to them..

 Most people still do put too much trust on who is delivering the supposedly Biblical message without reading it for themselves.

Too many falsely rely on others, the pastors and spiritual leaders to “feed” us the Word, and trust them blindly to do so but in reality, many have a different agenda and God is not in it, so most people are still being deceived.

Everywhere you look, the Word of God is being continually distorted and false teachings have infiltrated our churches so much that it has divided the body of Christ .

 I was reviewing the 100 hundred things that an end time prophecy site was claiming to be the truth and half of them were lies.. for two reason even.. 

Everywhere you look, the Word of God is being continually distorted and false teachings have infiltrated our churches so much that it has divided the body of Christ and too often it is the Jews, Messianic Jews who are behind much of this too..   Want to admit it, face it or not the Jews undeniably have tended to still to be the biggest liars, Bible distorters, and still falsely tend to hate Jesus, the Church, Christians the last 2000- years and falsely do promote their own false religion, Judaism or various versions of it.. Messianic Jews now included plus the cults too now..

and the second reason was  they were still falsely holy Spirit ignorant persons, holy spirit haters rather too.. who know nothing about the real being filled with the Holy Spirit, being anointed,  Baptized with the Holy Spirit.

Ii is important to read and study the Holy Scriptures, firstly the New testament too,  to understand the Word of God and keep it stored in your heart so that you would not be deceived. You will then be able to discern if what is coming out their mouths is in alignment with God’s Word, if it is not, then it is false teaching. Do not just rely on what your spiritual leaders or anyone (including myself) is telling you, read it for yourselves. If you do not read humbly, prayerfully the Word of God you will not know Jesus Christ, the God. You will also lack the knowledge of the Word and become vulnerable to the many  lies being preached today. But most importantly you will lack the close relationship with Jesus Christ, His holy Spirit  that He so greatly desires and you will still go to hell as a direct result.

We must be like the Bereans who searched the scriptures daily for the truth (Acts 17:11). Many Christians assume because their spiritual leaders went to Bible College, have a theology degree, and are ordained they are delivering the truth when in fact many are not. Christians are lacking discernment and do not test the spirits as the Word of God tells us to do (1 John 4:1-3) because a false teacher will never teach them, Christians need  to search for the truth for themselves.

The common way lies are introduced into the church. One of the best way of doing this is to falsely claim the preacher is  presenting a new, unique, biblical, God honoring teaching that others have not discovered yet, appealing to your carnal vanity.  To introduce false teachings straight out into the message would be too obvious. The false teacher would instead mix a bit of the lies together with the truth of God’s words to make it un-detectable. They already have your love and trust, the rest is easy. Now real discernment is .when we do have the Holy Spirit in us, who is our teacher and our guide, the gift,  the  power to see what is not evident to the average mind.”.

That’s when I made the decision to open my Bible, and to prayerfully with the Holy Spirit insights read it and not just by verses but in context,   to understand it, and to rightfully dividing the word of truth. As I did that I had discovered almost all, most   of the wrong things   taught to me were not from the Bible even, It  became very clear also that now still most of God’s sheep were being led astray and straight into hell now  hell is not just for the unsaved but for everyone who abides in the lies.

For example Is the term “give a financial seed” by faith scriptural?  How often have you heard a FALSE preacher or spiritual leader say “Give a financial seed?” In the Bible, the word “seed” refers to the agricultural seed as in “seed-bearing plants” during the creation of the world, as found in the book of Genesis and contained within the other books of the Bible. The word “seed” also refers to the Word of God; it refers to faith, as mentioned in the books of Matthew, Luke, John, and other books of the Bible. And, it refers to a spiritual seed (1 Cor 9:11). You will only find the words “financial seed” in the distorted teachings of merchant preachers or prosperity teachers, NOT the Bible.

OR  the supposed fact that you cannot lose your salvation? How about this? Have you been told that “You cannot lose your salvation?”  What does the Bible actually say on this.. Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.  James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

OR Is tithing unscriptural under the New Covenant? as per  Malachi 3:8-10. Well there is no New testament verse commanding or confirming tithing..Galatians 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.  1 Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. Today there are many unscrupulous preachers out there that use the old law of tithing for their own gain. These lying, thieving predators pray on the vulnerable, the ignorant, and weak, and their methods of coercion is frightening. They like to play with people’s minds and plant guilt and fear in their followers by telling them that they are ”under the blessing” if they tithe and if they do not, they “are robbing God” and are under a “curse.”

Re-read Malachi 1 and 2. Then you will find that God is rebuking the priests for their disobedience and because they were dishonoring Him by not keeping the covenant. The priests were grumbling and robbing God and offering Him blind, sick and crippled animals. God admonishes them and tells them to bring the food into the storehouse. Again, Malachi 3 is not about money. Jacob made a conditional vow to (voluntarily) give God a tenth, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear so that I return safely to my father’s house, then the LORD will be my God and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth” (Gen 28:20-22). This tenth was not a requirement placed on him or any of his descendants up until the “law” was given. Jesus did not teach or demand a tithe.

Or We are still  under the Law of Moses.. this teaching false places God’s children under the obsolete, redundant Mosaic Law…  (Gal 3:10), Moasiac Lwas were written temporaty only for the jews now too. . Apostle Paul made it clear that we are no longer under the law anymore but under grace (Rom 6:14); Jesus fulfilled all 613 laws to its entirety when He died on the cross for the sins of mankind. This does not mean that we break God’s commandments and kill, bear false witness, steal, etc. Even in the New Testament, the Bible tells us that we should not do so, we will not do so as we are filled with the Holy Spirit and follow his leading, teaching.; It is simple to understand why the old laws were done away with, the old law was not working; people were not keeping the laws that the Lord put forth. Furthermore, the law justified mankind by works; it made them clean outwardly. In order to resolve this problem, Jesus was chosen by God the Father as the new “high priest forever” after the order of Melchizedek, no longer in the order of Aaron (the Levites) (Gen 14:18-20; Ps 110:4; Heb 5; Heb 7:1-28).

Now the old covenant is no longer in effect because there was a change in priesthood, from the Levite priests to Jesus, and Hebrews 7:12 clearly stated it “ For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law . ” If God’s children continue to believe in these teachings, we are reverting to the old laws and the works of the flesh, and then we are no longer under grace and are not justified by faith. As Paul states, ” I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain ” (Gal 2:21).  Once Jesus died on the cross, the Old Law was fulfilled (Gal 4:4-5). Once He fulfilled the Law, the debt was paid for and no longer due by God’s children. He became sin, a curse for us, and He freed us from sin and the “curse of the law.” Now, there is one law that will combine all the laws and commandments of God and Galatians 5:13-14 expresses it “ For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” In other words, if you have love, you would be keeping all of God’s commandments.

We are free from the curse of the law, free to praise and worship Him every day, free to give with no unit of measure, and free to love and adore Him in spirit and in truth because we are not bound by any religion, rule or law, but by the leading of the Holy Spirit alone, and we need to thank Jesus for that freedom\, gift.

What is still need for you to read and study the Bible on your own and get the answers, not from me or anyone else, but straight from God. 

John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

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

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

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

Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

The New testament Bible  also cancels all untrue lies about  Jews being still  the chosen ones, the false end time signs, about Mary the Mother of Jesus , Mary Magdalene, the Rapture,  and homosexuality being acceptable. It is also still very common today to find people who reject the Bible out of hand because they have heard it misrepresented by a false preacher, teacher.

These false teachers, prophets,  hirelings who are money hungry, smooth talkers (2 Peter 2:3).Yes a growing number of TV evangelists epitomize this. They twist the Scriptures, using misleading words, to make merchandise of the unwary.; Read your Bible instead..  2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. James 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts.  Some would depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1).;  People would reject the sound doctrine of the Word of God and follow the doctrines of men that appeal to their own lusts (2 Timothy 4:3-4; Acts 20:29-30). Others would confess faith in Christ, but not obey His Word (Matthew 24:48-51; Matthew 7:22-23).

;Idolatry would be pervasive (Revelation 9:20; 13:12-15; 19:20; Micah 5:10-15; Zechariah 13:1-2). An idol is anything that competes for the attention due only to our Creator. Statues, images, charms, false gods, angels, apparitions, as well as possessions, position, pleasure, a person, self, and any created thing can all become idols (Romans 1:18-25).;

Sexual immorality would be rampant (Jude 18; Revelation 9:21). Keep in mind, Jesus said whoever looks to lust has already committed adultery in his heart (Matthew 5:28). Therefore, God equates Internet porn, lustful movies, TV shows, and magazines to fornication.

The availability and consumption of sensual products has exploded in our generation.;  Men would sear their conscience so they could continue in sin (1 Timothy 4:2).

 Also  the Bible points out that   Israel would eventually have a peace treaty in place that the Antichrist will confirm and eventually break (Daniel 9:27). Jerusalem would be a cup of trembling to all surrounding peoples (Zechariah 12:2).  Jerusalem would be a burdensome stone to all nations (Zechariah 12:3).;

There would be an increased interest in vegetarianism anticipated (1 Timothy 4:3-4).; Deadly diseases (which the Bible calls pestilences) would be common (Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:8). Emerging diseases such as AIDS, ebola, Hanta virus, Dengue, West Nile, SARS, bird flu, etc., underscore this fact. Ironically, just a few decades ago, some scientists were forecasting that advances in medicine might soon eradicate deadly diseases.;

Men would be lovers of themselves (2 Timothy 3:1-2).; Jesus still said Christians would be hated for His name’s sake (Luke 21:17; Revelation 6:9-11; 20:4). The banning of the Bible, prayer, nativity scenes, Christmas songs, etc., reflects this trend. Also consider that more Christians were martyred during the past century than during all previous history.; a  global counterfeit Judaic religion  in the last days  (Revelation 17; 18:7).;

 Epidemic drug use foreseen (Revelation 9:21). The Greek word translated sorceries is pharmakeia which can also refer to drug use, both illegal drugs and mind-altering drugs. The use of illegal drugs and the dispensing of mind-altering drugs has risen sharply during our current generation; Sorceries referring to witchcraft, magic, or occult practices used to enchant and deceive are also anticipated in the last days (Revelation 9:21; 18:23; 21:8; Isaiah 47:9-15; Micah 5:10-15). Today, interest in the occult is flourishing.;

Jesus still had said that His name would be great among the nations (Malachi 1:11; Philippians 2:9-11).; In the last days we will have power to overcome the enemy. Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:  Hebrews 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; You are my all in all !!! jesus christ prophesied that even after heaven and earth pass away, His words would never be forgotten (Luke 21:33).;

Keep in mind, God sees every secret sin of your past as if it just occurred. Nothing is hidden from His holy eyes. Also remember that Jesus rebuked the pious religious leaders of His day because, though they appeared good on the outside, inside they were prideful hypocrites. They were trusting in their own goodness, but the Lord saw their hearts. No matter how upright we may appear on the surface, all of us have broken God’s holy commandments and need the Savior.

Please listen to  the Holy Spirit firstly, always too.. Be blessed in the name of the   Lord Jesus.Christ..

God wants you to go to Church too

church

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

1 Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Galatians 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

2 Corinthians 9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

Romans 15:26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

I find it unbelievable, demonic that some people would lie and say that God told them not to go to a Church..

 Some of best spiritual times, closeness with God and his people has been in a good church.. yes there are bad churches, but find a goo church, pray for God to lead you to a good church.  I did not at all volunteer for it, God specifically talked to me and told me about 30 years ago  he wanted me to give it all up and become a pastor, to look after his flock, to feed them, to love them, comfort them. do home and hospital visitations..

 I love going to Church,3 or 5 times a week.. For a few years I went to church 5 times a week where ach service was at least 4- 6 hours…   I have attended about a hundred different churches as well.. as a pastor I support people going to church.. 

I tend to see still see the people who do not go to church as weirdo’s, unbalanced, un spiritual, extremists but it seems these days many who go to church are the same too. Going to church does not save you, but it can change for  the better..

Ephesians 4 1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Romans 16 1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. .

Hebrews 2: 12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. .

 1 Corinthians 4:17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.  

 

God Doesn’t Want Your Sacrifices , He Wants Your Obedience!

0MOSES2

 

So God Doesn’t Want Your “Sacrifices”… He Wants Your Obedience!

1 Samuel 15:22  But Samuel replied: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams  Hebrews 10:4  because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous;” him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him. Pro 24:24;

All people have sinned against God.  But, God is infinitely holy and righteous.  He must punish the sinner, the Law- breaker.  If He didn’t, then His law is not Law for there is no law that is a law without a punishment.  The punishment for breaking the Law is death, separation from God. Therefore, we sinners need a way to escape the righteous judgment of God.  Since we are stained by sin and cannot keep the Law of God, then the only one who could do what we cannot is God Himself.  That is why Jesus is God in flesh.  He is both divine and human.  He was made under the Law (Gal. 4:4) and He fulfilled it perfectly.  Therefore, His sacrifice to God the Father on our behalf is of infinite value and is sufficient to cleanse all people from their sins and undo the offense to God. Acts 4:12  Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Colossians 1:22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation

When Jesus had said that “I have kept My Father’s commandments” (John 15:10). he did not mean solely now all the laws of Moses, he also obeyed God’s direct will for him which many persons still do not.  Many Jews lie, distort,  as to what Jesus came for and did still..Christ camr to earth to die on the cross to show us by example the extent of our obedience required; for as he died on the cross in loving obedience to God, so we also must obey the promptings and commands of God, to crucify our sinful nature on the cross of self-denial.

But so that the world may know that I love the Father, I only do exactly as the Father has instructed me to do. John 14:31

And so Jesus next dies as a sacrifice for sin, so each one of us can make a choice to Go to heaven to be with Jesus. That was why he came to earth..The reason Jesus had to die for our sins was so that we could be forgiven and go to be with the Lord.  Jesus is God in flesh (John 1:1,14; Col. 2:9) and only God can satisfy His own Law requirements of all humans must live a perfect life fulfill a perfect sacrifice that cleanses us of our sins. But in vain do they worship me; they teach the commandments of men. Mat 15:9, Mark 7:7.

If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.  Gal 5:18

Until you are led by the Spirit, the Law (the moral core) is your schoolmaster, Gal 3:24-26

Most who profess to follow Christ do rightfully  believe that all of the Ten Commandments were abolished by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. They believe that Christ came to “do away” with those “harsh” commandments.  When Jesus was on earth, he kept the laws of Moses — but he also criticized them. Soon after he went back to heaven, his followers met to decide whether Christians should keep the laws of Moses. The question came to the foreground when people who weren’t Jewish began to follow Christ: “Some  said, ‘The Gentiles must be   required to obey the law of Moses’” (Acts 15:5).;What were these laws? Were they biblical laws, or the unbiblical traditions of the elders? In every other New Testament mention of the “laws of Moses,” the biblical books of Moses are meant (Luke 2:22; 24:44; John 7:22-23; Acts 28:23; 1 Cor. 9:9; Heb. 10:28). Luke could have said “traditions,” but he did not. Anyone who knew the teachings of Jesus would already know that unbiblical traditions were not required. They did not need to debate about Jewish traditions. “The apostles and elders met to consider this question” (Acts 15:6).  Peter then began to scold the people who wanted the gentiles to obey the laws of Moses: “Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are” (vs. 10-11).Peter’s point is that the yoke of Moses was a burden that the Jewish people were not able to keep successfully. Those rituals showed that, no matter how hard people worked, they could never be perfect. They showed, for anyone who ever wondered, that works can never lead to salvation. Salvation is attained in a different way—by grace. We can’t earn it, so it has to be given to us. Since the law of Moses cannot bring us salvation, there is no need to require the gentiles to keep it. God gave them the Holy Spirit and showed that he accepts them without all those rituals. They are saved by grace, and the Jews are, too. If we follow Peter’s logic, we will see that Jewish believers do not have to keep the laws of Moses, either. They are saved by grace through faith, just as the gentiles are. The old covenant is obsolete, so its laws are no longer required for anyone, and that is why Peter could live like a gentile (Gal. 2:14).   In Acts 15, the question is only whether gentiles have to keep the laws of Moses.The  apostle James was in complete agreement with Peter and Paul. “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God” (ACTS 15. 19). James then suggested four rules: “Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood” (v. 20). Instead of making things difficult for the gentiles, these four rules would be enough. The Ten Commandments, Paul SAID , came with glory, but they are fading away, just as surely as the glory of Moses’ face also faded. The new covenant not only has much greater glory, but it also “lasts.” The Ten Commandments, Paul implies, do not last forever. They were designed as a temporary “ministry of condemnation,” designed to lead people to Christ. Paul SAID that there is a fundamental change in the way people relate to God. The old way is a written law that condemns people to death. The new way is the Holy Spirit, which brings forgiveness and life. The Spirit leads us to obey God, but it is a fundamentally different relationship, a different basis of relating to God. Many people today, Jewish or not, do not seem to understand. They keep reading the Bible with old covenant eyes. The only solution is Christ. Only in him can the “veil” be  removed.  “Whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away” (verse 16).What does it mean to “turn to the Lord”? It means to see Jesus as the basis of our relationship with God. It means seeing our identity in him, not in the Law of Moses. Christ becomes central. We obey his law, the law of Christ (1 Cor. 9:21). When we put him first in our identity, he will help us see the covenantal change more clearly. The commands that God gave the Jews  are instructive but not necessarily imperative for us. They are informative but not normative. They are descriptive for ancient Israel, but not prescriptive for Christians. And the New Testament tells us that one commandment — the Sabbath — is no longer in force. We cannot preach the Ten Commandments for Christians today, because there is an important exception right in the middle of the Ten, and it is confusing to say Ten when only Nine are meant. Moreover, Christians have a better standard of behavior in the New Testament — a bigger body of literature with better balance. We have the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. We should point people to Christ, not to Moses, for instruction on how to live like a Christian. http://www.gci.org/bible/torah/exodus2a

Do you not know brothers, (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?  Rom 7:1

The law has dominion over a man as long as he lives.   You live until you do now mortify your sinful nature also on the inward cross of self-denial. That is a major problem still with many professing Christians and especially Jews, messianic Jews now too who really have not died to self have not made Jesus Lord, are not in God’s will for them too.. Until you lose your life by crucifying your sinful nature, your carnal mind, and your evil spirit, you are still under the law; until then you are still walking in restricted flesh; until then the law is your schoolmaster. Until Christ replaces your nature, mind, and spirit with His so that your selfish, sinful nature is dead, you are under the law. When Christ controls your thoughts, words, and deeds, then the law no longer has dominion over you because the selfish “you” has died. Even those who know no law, have the inner law on their hearts by which a man is judged and which has dominion over him until the death.

Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Christ is the end of the law as a means to righteousness to everyone that believes, but the new law of the Holy Spirit instruction that is on every man’s heart is still alive and to be observed. The law on every man’s heart reflects the teaching of the Holy Spirit now sole cannot merely be summed up in tone  command: do to others as you would have them do to you as they are continual leading of the holy spirit for all of us.. . Until you are walking under total control of the Spirit of God, you are still going to hell.. . Most people falsely  grove the holy Spirit, shut him out rather still.. Yes there is a liberty from the Old Testament law, but only after a man has made Jesus Christ as both Lord and savior, has been filled and Baptized with the holy spirit and  most Christians have already fail in these steps even,  has crucified his sinful nature on the inward cross of self-denial; only after a man has also waited on the Lord, watches and listens to hear the Holy Spirit of who will also now   teach him   to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts,  to live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world , yes and only after a man’s thoughts, words, and deeds are totally controlled by the Holy Spirit of God. Until then, sadly  the condemning law that sends you to hell only is your schoolmaster that tries to sounds out your deficiencies and motivates you to further go to God to seek and to obey him in all thins,. You are really now free from the Law of Sin and Death only when you are controlled by the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, Rom 8:2; when the commands of the Holy Spirit are given to you continuously, controlling your every thought, word, and deed — you are following after, walking in obedience to the Holy Spirit, thus  not walking in the fleshly desires of your carnal mind and imagination. Rom 8:1

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

2 Peter 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

Rom 6:17 (Phi) But thanks be to God that you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted…

1 Pet 4:17 (Phi) What will become of those who do not obey the Gospel of God?

1 Timothy 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

1 Timothy 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

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

Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

For all [non Jews] who (continue to) sin without the law will also perish without the law; and all [Jews] who (continue to) sin under the law will be judged by the law. Rom 2:12

For of this you can be sure, that no sexually immoral, or impure, or covetous person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Eph 5:5-6.

If you think you can remain an unrepentant  thief. liar, slanderer, an abusers, bully, hypocrite,  alcoholic, drug users, gay, wife beater, Bible distorter, adulterer,   and will still obtain salvation, easy forgives  you are grossly deceived, mistaken: 

Do you not know.. you are the slaves of whom you obey; whether of sin that leads to death,  or of obedience that leads to righteousness? Rom 6:16 

“Truly, Truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.” John 8:34 

Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? Luke 6:46

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened. And another book was opened, that is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of those things that were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them; and every man was judged according to his works. Rev 20:12-13

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will reward every man according to his works. Mat 16:27

I am he who searches the minds and the hearts; and I will give to each of you according to your works. Rev 2:23

I the LORD search the heart, I try the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings [works]. Jer 17:10

Shall he not render to every man according to his works? Pro 24:12

the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to every man according to his deeds. Rom 2:5-6

Every man’s work will be exposed. For the day [of the Lord] will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will try and test every man’s work, of what sort it is, 1 Cor 3:13; for everyone will be salted with fire. Mark 9:49;

Listen to and obey My voice, and I will be your God and you shall be my people;  and walk completely in the ways that I command you. Jer 7:23;

He [Jesus] became the Author and Source of eternal salvation to all those who give heed and obey Him. Heb 5:9;

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but [only] he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord,   have we not prophesied in your name,  and in your name cast out demons?  And in your name done many wonderful works? And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you;  depart from me, you who work iniquity [sin, rebellion, lawlessness or wickedness]. Mat 7:21-23;

The Son of Man will send forth his angels,  and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend,  and those who practice sin [or lawlessness]; and will cast them into a furnace of fire,  where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Mat 13:41-42

Even so, you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity [sin]. Mat 23:28;

signs of the end times..

ChurchSketch

We often hear quoted that there are signs of the end times..  supposedly rather signs…

2 Peter 31 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of rEmembrance:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy propheTs, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:3 Knowing this first, That there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the Beginning of the creation.5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of thE waTer and in the water:6 WherEby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto firE against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count Slackness; but is longsuffering To us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Well here are clear tell signs that I can spot a false professing Christians now more easily including these   aspects

1: they reveal a hatred towards the Church, Christians, thus really Jesus Christ himself 2: they tend to  not mention the Holy Spirit at all… or are clearly holy spirit gift haters, they lie and say the gifts of the Holy Spirit no longer exist.. They do not uses worlds like anointed, filled with the holy Spirit, baptized with the Holy Spirit 3: they try to deny others their right of free speech, right to be hard and try to remove, kick out, divorce the people who disagree.. 4: they falsely preach that the way to get to heaven is to love God or Jesus, but they manifest falsely their hatred towards other Christians..  5:  they likely preach the Rapture, Zionism, eternal security  even are falsely Jew lovers.. 6 they falsely   believe in  Once Saved Always Saved / Unconditional Eternal Security – This doctrine says that once you are “saved”, you can never lose your salvation, no matter what! 7 they falsely   believe  in Pre-Tribulation Rapture – This doctrine says that all born again Christians will be caught up to Jesus BEFORE the 7 year tribulation starts. Thus Christians will escape any end time trials. 8 they fail to live fully for Jesus now,so next they take a false negative view of the future, of all Christianity output.. the see judgments, doom and gloom instead of glorious revivals.., miracle 9 A writer admits to me  he does not go to any church, as he has said that Jesus said in the last day all the churches were, will be corrupt and we were not to go to any one of them.. there is n such verse in the whole new Testament.. you see what the devil is trying to do here.. he is trying to get you away from real decent Christian fellowship. to falsely separate you from the flock so he the devil can kill, destroy you so the devil can get you.. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.   They  have been kicked out of churches  cause they are still a wolf in sheep clothing, a trouble maker, a rabble rousers.. I would have myself now rightfully already kicked them  out my church..  Some of these sad people we know seem to have too many bad personal days so they falsely try to take it on those around them..  Those unacceptable persons, the oppressors, bullies, abusers, control freaks, liars, slanderers, jungle fighters.. who are clearly still even lost.. they need to change themselves solely and not work on changing  the others.

NOW WHY IS IT BAD PEOPLE DO NOT CHANGE NEXT BESIDE THE FACT THE LIKE TO DO BAD THINGS, IT IS ALSO CAUSE THEY FALSELY  REFUSE TO ADMIT THE THINGS THEY DO ARE BAD.  SADLY MANY PERSONS GO TO EXTREMES , DEVELOP  FALSE VALUES, STILL LIVE IN UNREPENTANT SINFUL ACTS.. SO GOD DOES NOT HEAR THEIR PRAYERS  . Those unacceptable persons, the oppressors, bullies, abusers, control freaks, liars, slanderers, jungle fighters.. who are clearly still even lost.. they need to change themselves solely and not work on changing  the others. Most of these people trying to change others themselves are even still really big liars still too, even the average person  is immoral and lies once very 8 minutes, lie to themselves and others, but some are much more liars, they lie as to why they do things now too.

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

(Rom 12:18 KJV) If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

(Heb 12:14 KJV) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 1 John 3: 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

(Rom 12:18 KJV) If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

(Heb 12:14 KJV) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

(Micah 2:8 KJV) Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.   (Heb 12:14 KJV) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

(1 Cor 13:1 KJV)  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.  2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

(Rev 3:19 KJV) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

In most churches there are still less than 30 percent real Christians, the rest are just religious persons or socializers.. One thing for sure I have observed that where there are sheep now there are also many wolves, for where there are real Christians there are also the liars,  pretenders amongst them now, today as well. The pretender, imposter, wolf in sheep clothing do now show up for all kind of reasons even to seduce the sheep. They masquerade as helpers, pastors,, assistant pastors, elders, youth ministers, Bible college students now as well.  (Mat 7:20 KJV) Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

It is an accurate assessment that 80 percent of all persons suffer from having a very poor self worth, a poor self esteem of themselves and they feel guilty, depressed over it, not knowing what to do cause their humanistic endeavors at self improvement tend to fail them..

Likely 20 percent of all persons are a TROUBLE MAKER, they are an aggressive bully while the rest, 80 percent are a TIMID SHEEP, over fearful, overly submissive. We often do meet the loud mouthed trouble makers in many places, such as on the net, on the street, in churches now too but we also do encounter those overly timid, overly fearful, cowardly persons sadly now.

Most people fail to realize that they do even still now need to have a balance of their life of being “assertive”, as well as being “submissive”, and being unbalanced in one or the other is not a positive aspect still as well. And what about you now too? what are you realy like.. overly asssertivae or overly submissive..

It is very likley that 20 percent of persons tend to have an exaggerated  opinion of themselves, an unreal  one, and they think they can readily teach others meaning acting like basic dictators, lords. oppressors over others, they are actually bullying others? In the process both of these inbalanced groups tend to try to teach others when clearly they themselves still do  have a lot to learn.. and the bullies need to take the beam out of their own eyes.. including learning humility.. for God realy still hates the proud hearted persons..;

(Prov 14:29 KJV) He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

(Prov 15:18 KJV) A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

(Prov 16:32 KJV) He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

(2 Pet 2:10 KJV) But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.;

(Luke 17:3 KJV) Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.;

I have studied the subject of end times prophecy  for 50 years, talked to some of the greatest preachers on the subject even face to face.. and there is nothing really to support most  of these prophecy nuts.. It is mostly dispensationalist  lies where most of the expositors cannot agree even with each other.. last week a friend told me he could have bough a car on those past useless, false prophecy books, tapes, videos, conferences he had wasted money for 122 years..  Look at what the angel said to Daniel on this subject

Dan 12: 1    And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 5    Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

 Many people seem to forget this.. while they try to force their views , interpretations without the holy Spirit..

Preaching the truth is not the same as living it..

00

I still do hear so many supposedly Christian parrots on the net.. I rightfully still now would prefer if the preacher firstly practices what he preaches to others, I am not impressed by  any of his personal bad works still but by his personal  real Christian application.. Preaching about Jesus is not an alternative to having the fruit of the holy Spirit, ant is not an alternative to not ling others, it is not an  alternative for spitting at the others, hatred of them, abusing others, telling lies, slander.. if I cannot see the evidence of the holy spirit life in the preacher it is cause he is till going to hell.. lip service Christianity does not save you from hell, not even if you preach it.. I would rather see a sermon lived over one merely preached..

Matthew 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Matthew 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

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

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

Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Luke 3 9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Luke 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Matthew 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

Luke 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.

For of this you can be sure, that no sexually immoral, or impure, or covetous person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Eph 5:5-6.

 If you think you can remain an unrepentant thief. liar, slanderer, an abusers, bully, hypocrite, alcoholic, drug users, gay, wife beater, Bible distorter, adulterer, and will still obtain salvation, easy forgives you are grossly deceived, mistaken:

 Do you not know.. you are the slaves of whom you obey; whether of sin that leads to death, or of obedience that leads to righteousness? Rom 6:16

“Truly, Truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.” John 8:34

 Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? Luke 6:46

 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened. And another book was opened, that is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of those things that were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them; and every man was judged according to his works. Rev 20:12-13

 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will reward every man according to his works. Mat 16:27

 I am he who searches the minds and the hearts; and I will give to each of you according to your works. Rev 2:23

 I the LORD search the heart, I try the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings [works]. Jer 17:10

 Shall he not render to every man according to his works? Pro 24:12

 the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to every man according to his deeds. Rom 2:5-6

 Every man’s work will be exposed. For the day [of the Lord] will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will try and test every man’s work, of what sort it is, 1 Cor 3:13; for everyone will be salted with fire. Mark 9:49;

 Listen to and obey My voice, and I will be your God and you shall be my people; and walk completely in the ways that I command you. Jer 7:23;

 He [Jesus] became the Author and Source of eternal salvation to all those who give heed and obey Him. Heb 5:9;

 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but [only] he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and in your name cast out demons? And in your name done many wonderful works? And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who work iniquity [sin, rebellion, lawlessness or wickedness]. Mat 7:21-23;

 The Son of Man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice sin [or lawlessness]; and will cast them into a furnace of fire, where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Mat 13:41-42

 Even so, you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity [sin]. Mat 23:28;

Things Children of God Can Do:
.
1. Fall from grace – Gal. 5:1-4,13
2. Be led away with error – 2 Pet. 3:17
3. Err from the truth – James 5:19-20
4. Weak brother may perish – 1 Cor. 8:11
5. Fall into condemnation – James 5:12
6. Be moved away from the hope – Col. 1:21-23
7. Deny the Lord who bought them – 2 Pet. 2:1
8. Depart from the living God – Heb. 3:12
9. Can be a castaway – 1 Cor. 9:27
10. Can become accursed children – 2 Pet. 2:14
.
As you will notice, we have selected the passages which clearly demonstrate that the inspired writers were referring to Christians (children of God). This destroys the very convenient dodge: “If they are lost, they weren’t saved to begin with” and/or “If one is a child of God, he could never cease to become a child of God.”  As shown in those verses, the inspired writers are referring to children of God.
.
A Christian (a true believer who has his sins forgiven by Christ’s blood), can sin so as to be lost and cast into hell. Thus losing his previously attained salvation.

More scriptures that refute “Eternal Security”
1 Parable of sower
•Mark 4:16 (Luke 8:13) “And in a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; (they believe for a while) and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away.
2 Fallen from grace passage:
•Galatians 5:4 “You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.”
3 Pruning passages:
•John 15:5-6 “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.”
•Romans 11:19-23 “You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you. Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.”
4 Hebrews Passages:
•Hebrews 6:4-6 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame.
•Hebrews 10:26-27 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.”
•Hebrews 10:38-39 “But My righteous one shall live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.”
5 Doctrinal Apostasy passages:
•Acts 20:17,28-30 “And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church.” … “I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.”
•1 Timothy 1:18-21 “fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith. Among these are HYMENAEUS and Alexander”
•2 Timothy 2:16-18 But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are HYMENAEUS and Philetus, men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and thus they upset the faith of some.
•1 Timothy 4:1 “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons”
•1 Timothy 6:20-21 “O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge”-which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith.”
•2 Peter 2:1 “But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.”
•2 Peter 3:17 “You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard lest, being carried away by the error of unprincipled men, you fall from your own steadfastness”
•2 John 8-9 “Watch yourselves, that you might not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward. Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.”
6 Moral Apostasy passages:
•1 Timothy 6:9-10 “But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang.”
•2 Peter 2:20-22 “For if after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment delivered to them. It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “A dog returns to its own vomit,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.””
•James 5:19-20 “My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth, and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.”
7 Revelation passages:
•Revelation 2:4-5 “‘But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. ‘Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you, and will remove your lampstand out of its place-unless you repent.”
•Revelation 3:5 “‘He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels.
•Revelation 3:16-17 ‘So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. ‘Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked”
.
A. The fact the Bible exhorts to faithfulness proves one can be lost
1.be steadfast immovable: 1 Cor 15:58
2.If these qualities are yours…2 Pe 1:5-11
3.we will reap if we do not grow weary: Gal 6:9
4.be faithful unto death and I will give crown of life: Rev 2:10
5.practice these things and God will be with you: Phil 4:9
.
B. Man has a free will: Josh 24:15 to argue otherwise is nonsense and is a veiled form of existentialism
.
C. The Bible clearly prophesied some would fall away: Acts 20:28; 1 Ti 4:1
.
D. Christians are to restore the fallen: Gal 6:1; Jas 5:19-20
.
Also 1948 Statehood of Israel does not fulfill Bible prophecy.   Paul said the hope of Israel was not physical restoration, but only in Christ:
.
a.      “And now I am standing trial for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers; the promise to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly serve God night and day. And for this hope, O King, I am being accused by Jews. “Why is it considered incredible among you people if God does raise the dead? “So then, I thought to myself that I had to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. ” (Acts 26:6–9)
.
b.      “For this reason, therefore, I requested to see you and to speak with you, for I am wearing this chain for the sake of the hope of Israel.” (Acts 28:20)
.
 It is totally false that God wants any of  the Jews to again practice full Mosaic Old Testament Temple worship, complete with animal sacrifices.
.
a.      “It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you. And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. ” (Galatians 5:1–4)
.
b.      “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. … When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.” (Hebrews 8:6-7,13)
.
c.       “When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.” (Hebrews 8:13)
.
d.      You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. ” (Galatians 5:4)
.
2.      The whole idea of restoring temple worship, with a restored Aaronic priesthood, complete with ashes of the Red Heifer is to deny Christ as the true Passover lamb. It is absurd to try to restore the Old Testament law along with Temple sacrifices because it is a denial of the sacrifice of Christ’s blood once for all to end all animal sacrifices.
.
The signs of Matthew 24 prophecies the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD not the second coming and certainly not some “Rapture” theology that was invented in 1830 AD by John Darby. When Christians saw the signs, they fled the city and were saved.
.
It is false to expect God to give the Jews a second chance at accepting Jesus as their earthly king. In fact, Jesus was never intended to be their earthly king. Jesus was prophesied to be Israel’s spiritual king. Jesus plainly told Pilate that he was not an earthly king who would compete with him, but a spiritual king in heaven:
.
a.      “Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” … Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
.
 While the Evangelical Rapture doctrine is widely believed today, but it did not exist before it “popped” into John Darby’s head in 1830 AD. If you believe in the Rapture, you probably wrongly assumed it was a historic Bible doctrine, when in fact it was born in the era of the cults (1830-1880 AD). Rapture doctrine is one of the most recent “new. false  doctrines” in the history of the Church. The only false  doctrine more recent is the invention of the sinner’s prayer for salvation by Billy Sunday in 1930, which was made popular by Billy Graham in 1935. There are too many also false teachers who are false “Date setters” like Camping whose DATE is not the rapture but their own self-extinction on the world religious stage… if they are honest. “Date Teasers” even like Jack Van Impe are cowards who promote the end as being VERY VERY soon, but never specific, in order to keep the hundreds of millions of dollars flowing TO THEM ALONE.

To be spiritual must I know Greek or Hebrew?

JC

.
People have wrestled with whether we really need to learn the Biblical  languages for a very long time.  https://witnessed.wordpress.com/2013/12/11/the-bible-and-the-greek-language/
 .
No matter how good your intentions Learning Biblical Hebrew is still basically absurd, it has nothing to do with  the reality of knowing better today  the New Testament,
 .
The New Testament the only book that matters to all  today and it was written now  also solely in Greek and not in Hebrew..
 .
Yes  it’s certainly not necessary for Christians to learn the Biblical languages, and that knowing Greek and Hebrew doesn’t divinely make you better at reading the Bible or being a Christian, it does not mean for certainty that you have grasped the meaning of God’s Book (studying God’s Word).
 .
As we know the so called language experts disagree with each other here on the Bible meanings still too.. .Using the biblical languages foes not  exalts Jesus as w know there are still many bad and unsaved Hebrew speaking Jews and still bad, unsaved even  Greek speaking persons. While studying Greek and Hebrew is an important part of much seminary and ministerial training we still do know that these cemeteries tend not to produce Godly, Christ like persons next still.
 .
For all persons  learning a new language expertly  is years taking endeavor, an exhausting, frustrating, and spirit-killing endeavor, one that has been scientifically proven to cause premature hair loss, marital discord, excess  frustration, loss of sleep.. and that is with one language and never mind three..
 .
Did you notice how many of these scholarly type still rarely quote the Bible now too?
 .
There are supposedly some good translations out there that you can help you to understand the Bible more?
 .
Many people who pay close attention to the original texts, have still missed the Gospel meaning  itself. As even the already trained, well educated Bible translators cannot seem to agree with each other. Why? Our modern English Bible  translations are excellent.
 .
Most of the major English translations available today are supposedly superb renderings of the original Greek and Hebrew and yet why is it still that only a few of the readers next do even get saved, get a proper relationship with Jesus Christ and his Holy Spirit?.
 .
We must constantly remind ourselves that we are not studying the original languages; we are studying the Word of God. is an absurd statement still too. The human mind cannot understand any of the Holy Scriptures anyway cause all truths come solely by divine revelations from the Holy Spirit.. if you do not have the Holy Spirit wisdom here you are really still dumb. The Bible also makes it clear that the Spirit is the author of the Bible and that He will help us to understand the His Word  2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.; John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
 .
Again You do not have to know Hebrew and Greek in order to understand the Bible.
 .
John 7:38: “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
 .
Luke 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
 .
Matthew 13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
 .
Mark 6:2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
 .
Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
 .
Acts 6
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
 .
Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
 .
1 Corinthians 1
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
 .
1 Corinthians 2
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
 .
1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
 .
 By the way the too often lying Jews would let you believe you need their help to get to know God better,  they would like to be your false teachers.. your false masters…. this is all demonic  still.. The Jews did not understand even what Jesus had said
 .
Luke 19:43,44: For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
 .
so in 70 Ad the Romans surrounded Jerusalem. destroyed the temple, and dispersed all the Jews
 .
Matthew 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
 .
Luke 13″35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
 .
Acts 1:20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

Most of the old Testament laws are now Obsolete to all Christians even as Jesus Christ had provided a new way, a New Testament here instead… http://witnessed.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/so-what-about-the-ten-commandments/

The Sacred Name movement consists of those false, cultish persons, groups, and assemblies who use the Hebrew names for God (i.e. Yahweh, Yahvah) and for Jesus (i.e. Yahshua) in the devotion and worship. They have falsely characterized themselves as “the True Worshippers” eschewing the name ‘Christian’ as being of pagan origin. The history of the Sacred Name Cults shows them to be derived of the Millerite sects, the Adventists and the Church of God, and thus from the false prophet William Miller who prophesied the return of Jesus in 1843 and made a subsequent false prophecy concerning 1845. Though his group self destructed by the mid 19th century the followers became the Adventists and later Church of God sects, preserving the strict legalism and false prophetic bents of the original group. The Sacred Name Movement (SNM) is a movement in Christianity that seeks to conform Christianity to its roots in Judaism in practice, belief and worship; This movement seeks to destroy and blot out the name of Jesus… The Sacred Name dogma has enormous errors, Antichrist elements inherent within its beliefs and practices. http://pjmiller.wordpress.com/2009/06/21/the-cult-of-the-sacred-name/
