Standing the Gap

Abraham is our Father!

2011-10-03T14:37:00.003-04:00

We couldn’t possibly be Wrong! This Doctrine is handed down to us by our fathers. Such is the attitude of the Religious System. They refuse to be Challenged. Even the Master Himself was unable to convince them they had strayed into the path of error. Their ‘Doctrine’ was more important to them than simply Walking in the Steps of Faith and Obeying God. (As their father Abraham did)

Today the Church Pastors are satisfied that Man is a Sinful Being; Born Depraved, Inbred, Dead in sin, and unable to do anything good. Therefore he must be ‘Saved in his sins’ and Covered by Grace (which is unmerited favor)

This teaching was handed down to them by their ‘Fathers’ (the Reformers) and cannot be altered by the slightest degree whatsoever. As a result their Churches are filled with half-baked, lukewarm, Cold and Dead so-called converts, Full of hypocrisy and deceit. People who have been attending Services since early childhood know nothing more about God or His Word than the average Pagan and proudly proclaim themselves Biblical illiterate.

Truly the Churches are ever learning but never able to come to a Knowledge of the Truth. They keep getting further from it and re-enforcing the Doctrinal fallacies they inherited from the past. The Possibility of anyone falling under a real Conviction of the Spirit and experiencing a godly sorrow that leads to Repentance is not likely given that everyone is ‘Saved’ already and fairly self-satisfied with the not of works Message. Many of them will faithfully attend church and even perform a wide range of services, which attributes to the appearance of godliness in our society. The Pastors are experts at keeping the peace and smoothing out any bumps in the road that may come along. Their most important missions are to maintain the status quo, grow the church and entertain the people. Thus all the programs, activities, focus groups, and amenities. The people love it!

But WHAT IF they are Wrong and the WHOLE System is in Jeopardy? Are you willing to Stake your eternal Soul on a ‘Chance’ they MIGHT be Preaching the Truth? Jesus said that only a Small Minority would find the Narrow Gate to Life and push through it. Has your Pastor sufficiently warned you how Difficult it is to inherit Eternal Life? Does he Demand Repentance and Faith PROVEN by DEEDS? Or merely ‘Confess, Trust and Receive’ Depending on the ‘Manner’ in which you are hearing him will determine whether or not you will be left with Nothing at the end. (Read Lk8:18, 19:26) You may indeed ‘seem’ to have the proper terminology but your actions speak louder than your words! As the Pharisees’ were Clean on the outside but Defiled within, so you glory in your shame boasting as the Chief Wretch of your twisted doctrines.

Escaping layer upon layer of Deception is not easy. That’s why the Lord said to DIG DEEP! (Lk6:48) But in Church you’re told to ‘Trust’ that He did all the Digging for you. So you search no further than what the Pastors is teaching. You’re confident they know what they’re talking about. They proudly proclaim the Doctrines of their founders and expound the common Message in circulation according to the Present day material available to them. It is assumed that all things taught date back to Christ and the Apostles (since they come directly from the KJV of the Bible!) No one has a clue that they are following Pagan teachings out of ancient Rome. Their perspective is taken NOT from the Early Saints, but from Roman Councils that Blended heretical teachings into the original creeds of the Apostles.

Consequently they use the Epistles to support their notions by molding them to correspond with their doctrines. Playing on the abject ignorance of the people they can make the Bible defend such things as Original Sin, Moral Transfer of Christ’s Righteousness and Obedience, Sins forgiven in advance and Eternal Security. NONE of these things were in the Early Creeds of the Saints, nor did the Apostles promote them. The Biblical and Historical evidence is Overwhelming and freely available to anyone who wants to dig it out. But Most are content to remain in a state of infancy concerning these things, believing that the System can’t be Completely Wrong and that their Traditions are sufficient to be a ‘Christian’.

Bringing someone out of this Mess is extremely difficult. Deception lurks at every turn. The Errors are classical and must be unraveled in stages. There is little hope of success unless the person has passed through a real Repentance experience and is now indwelled with Spirit of Truth. The Eyes of the Understanding MUST be open before you can even began to pull down the Strongholds and vain imaginations of lies they have been under for so long. Remember: they are coming out of a situation where they have been taught that God Saves them in their sins and then Cleans them up later. What are Basic truths to you is completely foreign to them. You Must start from Scratch! If they have laid a solid foundation of Repentance and faith (and that will be obvious) you begin from there. If there is any chance of them remaining on the

Narrow Road

and not falling prey again to the error of the wicked, YOU have to keep your discernment sharp and be forever vigilant of the winds of Doctrine blowing from every direction.

There is Great deal at stake in this Race. As a Professing Christian you can’t afford to be wrong because the consequences are dire. This is not something you take lightly or ignore. You’re faced with a Challenge whether you like it or not. At the final Judgment there will be no more excuses. Can you PROVE what you Believe is TRUTH?

Having Loved this Present World

2011-10-03T14:36:00.000-04:00

“For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world.” 2Tim4:9

The Early Saints understood that they were at War with evil. That Satan was a Roaring lion seeking to devour them at every turn. They knew that the Weapons of their warfare were not carnal but spiritual for pulling down Strong holds. The Cry was ‘Love NOT the World or the Things that are in the world!” To them all that in the World, ‘the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the Pride of life is NOT of God.’ As Sojourns and Pilgrims in a Strange land, they seen the World as Passing away and the lust of it, but DOING the Will of was Eternal.

Christians are not in this World to enjoy themselves or partake in the vanities of life. The trappings of Success are nothing more than a snare that will drown men and pierce them through with many sorrows. The Persona of Prosperity and normality of life is nothing more than a deception designed keep professing Christians under strong delusion. They think that the blessings and longsuffering of God are His approval rather than an incentive for them to Repent. Thus they bask in their false Religious Systems oblivious of the Truth.

Those who follow Christ are promised nothing more than spite and hatred of the World. ‘Beware when all men speak well of you!’ Families will be Divided, friends will desert you. The Religious System will cry for your head on a platter! Be Certain that if you are Comfortable in your associations with this world, that you are either NOT of God or fallen into Deep Compromise. The Truth of Christ is always at odds with the world. It’s a War you cannot avoid if you choose to follow Christ. There is no neutrality. You cannot trifle with evil. The entire World is the under the influence of Satan. He is called the Prince and Power of the air, the god of this age. He confronted Christ in the wilderness and offered Him all the Kingdoms of earth! (They are his to give!)

The World exits under his Dominion of sin and death. There are no Rules, no Code of Conduct, no Order, ONLY under his control. Anything Goes! All the institutions of men that THINK they represent God exist under the influence of the Prince and Power of the air. The Governments, the Justice System, the authorities and the systems of religion, are Corrupted to the Core by his manipulative power. Once men have sold themselves into his bondage they serve his agenda of deceit and deception. The ONLY way to escape his grasp is through Christ! You Must Come out from among them and be Separate! This World is not your home. It will be dissolved in the flaming fire of vengeance. In Christ we look for a New Heaven and New Earth in which Righteousness dwells.

He who loves this world and is fascinated by its amusements and self-importance and still consider themselves in the Light of God, are horribly deceived. There is no promise of worldly success and prosperity. We brought nothing into this world and we will take nothing out. If we have food and clothing, we should be content. We are passing through enemy territory and must fend for ourselves. There is no place for complacency. Without the full Armor of God you do not stand a chance against the fiery darts of the wicked one. We are surrounded by false teachers and deceivers of every kind! Satan can transform himself into a Minister of Righteousness. Pastors appear as Sheep, but inwardly have become Ravenous Wolves! The faithful are assaulted from every side. FEW endure Steadfast in the face of opposition. MANY have capitulated already.

The spirit of anti-Christ controls the institutions of man. In most cases he is a willing participant for personal gain, more power and influence. For his thirty pieces of Silver he has sold his birthright to the Devil. He has rationalized his way into Satan’s Web of lies. Now it’s impossible to escape! The amenities are too appealing, rewards too great.

The alternative is loneliness and alienation. Exclusion from all the Systems they love! If they Stand firm for the Real Christ and His Truth the façade is over. Genuine faith involves Moral courage even in the face of death. He who seeks to Save his life will lose it! In Early times persecution and torture were a given because the Saints were taking the offensive against the powers of darkness.

Now we have so-called ‘Committed’ Christians communing with the World! They have almost perfect camaraderie without the slightest concern for the lost and deceived condition of friends and loved ones. In order to maintain their connections they avoid the ‘hard truths’ and suppose their ‘life style’ will be sufficient witness to convert them to Jesus. Worse of all this type of attitude normalizes worldliness in the minds of everyone. The Children of these professing Christians grow up thinking its ok to bask in the comforts of life. The whole thing is an insult to the early Saints who suffered so much for their faith and a cold slap in the face of Christ! Obviously we are NOT to suffer as evil doers, in the face of our adversaries. BUT we are to Defend the Truth against all odds. We’re in a pitch battle against the forces of darkness! Souls are perishing. If you Don’t care enough to fight the good fight, perhaps you are perishing with them.

Yes, Real Christians have to work in this world to earn a living. They must fulfill their responsibilities to family and community. But in the World there must be a distinction between those who serve God and those who do Not!

‘If anyone makes himself a Friend of the World he is the Enemy of God!’ The Professed of all types Suppose they are Saved and can Remain Saved, and NEVER DO anything! They stand idle on the sidelines casting dispersions on those in the Arena. To them a Radical commitment is fanaticism and they avoid it like the Plague. Their battle consists of getting up on Sunday morning and attending another church service. The Devil has swallowed them down long ago before they ever landed on Salvation Beach!

The Church System believes there is a Godly order to society. That under God all things are appointed and Determined in advance, including conquest and war. They participate in the political process believing they can alter the outcome for the Lord. Most Pastors will say that liberty is America’s blessing from God and our Rights descend from above. However they are all overlooking some vital Biblical Truths.

God may indeed intervene in the affairs of man, BUT He Will Not override man’s Free Will! If Governors and Kings receive their appointment from above, they are Still deceitful on their own. Man, in all his positions of authority on earth, remaining unregenerate of the Spirit, is Totally Corrupted by the Devil. Personal Power is distorted by greed and lust. The Power of itself Corrupts, because you CANNOT Do Good using Evil means. You MUST overcome evil with good! Does ANYONE: Seek Justice, Reprove the oppressor, Defend the fatherless and Plead for the widow? NO! They exploit and coerce there way to the top. Then Murder, lie and steal to gain more!

They Speak lying words that do not profit. They shed innocent blood on the battlefields of shame. They call evil good and good evil and take away Justice from the Righteous! Is THIS the World you wish to befriend, as a follower of Christ; To pass through this charade without blinking an eye at the overflow of iniquity? Can you hide yourself in some Church or Study group and Pretend that all is well with your soul?

Your Country is desolate, your cities burn with lust and crime. Strangers devour you substance. You are in the Depths of Satan, blind and numb. You laugh at iniquity and scoff at the Truth! Your Shepherds are dull hearted and Watchman blind. Like dumb dogs that cannot bark they look to their own way and pursue only gain. The Hearts of the Righteous are made Sad and the hand of the Wicked Strengthened. The Church System has sold itself for nothing and offers only Bondage to the people. The Righteous Perish and no one takes it to heart. WHO will ascend the Wall of the Lord and sound the alarm? We face a State of Emergency. Iniquity is at Critical mass! The Battle lines are drawn; it’s Time for you to CHOOSE a SIDE.

Stopping the Sin

2011-09-27T15:28:00.003-04:00

The Great Dilemma in the Present Day Church is at WHAT Point does the sin have to Stop in order for real Salvation to take place. Must it Stop Before Pardon can be granted or after, or does it NEVER Stop? Unanimously the Church Preaches that God ‘Saves you in your sins and Cleans you up later.’ BUT the actual Stopping of sin remains in question. If the Person Cannot of his own power stop sinning when he comes to God, WHY is he STILL unable to Stop After Salvation has supposedly taken place? Since Everyone will agree that NO ONE EVER Stops sinning.

Any Suggestion that the Person can indeed Stop the evil of his doings BEFORE Pardon can be granted is Automatically equivalent to ‘Saving yourself’ and no longer Needing Jesus. Therefore Repentance is a Confession that you are a sinner, unable to prepare yourself and call upon God and you merely come to Him DOING NOTHING but Seeking His forgiveness and Mercy as the Remedy for your sin. The reason for this is that you are Born a Sinner, morally depraved by nature, unable within yourself to do anything leading to your salvation. Until God by His Grace liberates your free will in order for you to Repent and Believe. Therefore Christ doesn’t have anything to do necessarily with you Stopping any particular sin at initial conversion, only Providing His Remedy for your ‘Sinfulness’ in order for you to be forgiven and have your moral imperfections Covered by His Blood.

Here is the Doctrinal Statement of Wesleyan Theology:

We believe that man's creation in Godlikeness included ability to choose
between right and wrong, and that thus he was made morally responsible; that
through the fall of Adam he became depraved so that he cannot now turn and
prepare himself by his own natural strength and works to faith and calling
upon God. But we also believe that the grace of God through Jesus Christ is
freely bestowed upon all men, enabling all who will to turn from sin to
righteousness, believe on Jesus Christ for pardon and cleansing from sin,
and follow good works pleasing and acceptable in His sight. We believe that
man, though in the possession of the experience of regeneration and entire
sanctification, may fall from grace and apostatize and, unless he repent of
his sin, be hopelessly and eternally lost.

The Major Problem with all of this, is that it is IN REVERSE of the SCRIPTURE! In the Bible Repentance CEARLY means a STOPPING of sin BEFORE Pardon can be Granted. Note the following:

Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. Isa55:7

Now therefore, amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; then the

LORD will relent concerning the doom that He has pronounced against you. Jer26:13

A CLEARING of the Wrong Doing MUST take Place BEFORE God can abundantly pardon or relent from His Wrath. This follows throughout Scripture without exception. The Message of the Bible ASSUMES that man is FULLY CAPABLE of Obeying God and DOING what God has said to Do, namely Repent, STOP what your doing, and SEEK My Mercy! All the Prophets Preached in this Manner as did the Apostles in the Book of Acts. Again, Let’s See what the Bible has to Say:

Jonah 3:5-10

So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?

Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.”

Here is a Clear Cut Case of the Preaching of Repentance and the Manner in which the Mercy of God is Dispensed on the people. NO ONE assumed that their Stopping meant anything more than the POSSIBILITY of God sparing them from destruction. They DID NOT Need some Special Grace or even the Holy Spirit to Come in and reveal to them the evil of their Doings. They Knew ALREADY they were in the wrong by the VERY Fact Jonah came preaching to them to Repent. The Prophet told them the Consequences of their actions and gave them the way of escape through repentance.

This should settle all the arguments anyone may have about Repentance, but the church ignores it and CONTINUES to Preach COME IN YOUR SINS! They Insist that you Must have the Holy Spirit’s Presence to reveal the error of your ways, bestowed through some Special Operation of Grace BEFORE you can turn to God and Believe. And if you were able to STOP Sinning (as the people of Nineveh did) you would NOT Need Jesus because you could Save yourself. They just Can’t seem to Connect the Dots.

The Entire Fallacy of Coming in your sins is Based on being Born a Sinner. Therefore man is not responsible for his sin, but only Receiving Jesus as the remedy for it. Then as the Holy Spirit liberates his free will and reveals wrong doings to him he becomes responsible to forsake those things as a Christian. That’s why NO ONE Preaches against or about sin or sinful behavior in the church because it’s the Holy Spirits Job to clean the people up, not the preachers responsibility to point anything out. This Mission of the church is to compel people to ‘Receive’ Jesus, not Seek a Clearing of Wrong Doing. So Real Repentance NEVER takes place.

Why is sin Committed in the dark or covered by lies? The Bible Says that men love darkness rather than light because their Deeds are evil. (Jh3:20-21) They Know adultery is wrong, if they didn’t why lie to cover their tracts? The Holy Spirit doesn’t have to indwell them BEFORE they are aware these things are evil in the sight of God and must be abandon. That’s why the ONLY Way Real Conversion has any Possibility of taking place is through the preaching of Repentance and faith PROVEN BY DEEDS! Man ALREADY Knows he is Responsible for his sins, his own conscience either accuses or excuses him.

The PROBLEM is when the Church gets into the Mix and Convinces them they can be SAVED in spite of what they DO! Once a person buys into the Big Lie of being born a sinner they can no longer be conceived of the Possibility of stopping sinning. It is simply a foregone conclusion of the Message that you Come to God in your sins, therefore He cannot possibly hold you accountable for continuing in them since they were NEVER your fault to begin with! Man’s Accountability begins and ends with ‘Receiving Jesus’ as his Remedy. NO ONE is able to Say that the Sin has to STOP because they hold firmly to the Doctrine of Man Born into sin. No Matter how good they can make it sound or how much they can back it up with Scripture, the Bottom Line remains. You CANNOT Stop (or even have the possibility of stopping) UNTIL He saves you, fills you with His Spirit and Works the sin out of you by process.

Here’s a Perfect example of what I mean, Written by a Holiness Preacher who believes you can lose your salvation by sinning:

“He takes a work of salvation in the soul to cease from sin. God gives us that power when we are saved. Prior to getting saved, one is under conviction and will bring forth fruits meet (or fit) for repentance, meaning they will be trying to stop some things as much as they can, and discontinue going to places they know are wrong.”

Notice that is has an element of Truth to it and speaks of the Power of God, Conviction and Fruits. All Scriptural terms. It seems to fit into the Common Salvation experience people are having in the churches. But he is extremely Careful to point out and ‘strongly suggest’ that the person CANNOT STOP doing what is wrong until God comes in and helps him. (this is the common type answer from pastors)

Now using your own sense of reason and understanding, DOES THIS Match what happened in Nineveh? Were the People UNABLE to Stop the evil of their doings until God Saved them or Did they Do it BEFORE anything happened?

Did anyone in Nineveh ASSUME that their Stopping of sin meant they no longer needed God’s Mercy extended to them? Or Did they Obey the Command to Repent, Come before God, PRESUMING NOTHING, and Seeking His Mercy! Unless you’re Blind, the answer is obvious.

WHY then Does EVERYONE THINK it happens in REVERSE? It HAS TO BE because of the Presupposition that Man is Born a Sinner and CAN’T Stop Sinning! So back to our question:

“When Does the Sin have to Stop?”

Answer: “NEVER!”

What This Means:

You asked: “If a person is a child molester does he have to stop molesting children in order to receive Jesus?”

My answer: Absolutely not. A person does not need to stop anything, start anything, or do anything at all to have God or Jesus in their life. It is just the opposite. Rather than stopping molesting in order to receive Jesus, it is receiving Jesus in order to stop molesting.

To answer your question... I think you can ask Jesus into your heart while still engaging in behavior that does not honor the love of Christ.

"Do we have to stop sinning to be loved by God?" I think not. I am always going to be sinning.

So the answer is yes, a child molester can be forgiven without doing anything

The truth is, a person does not have to stop his sin

Being saved does not depend on a person stopping all willful sin.

God does not expect us to stop sinning first, and then seek salvation

Second, God does expect us to stop sinning after we are saved.

These Pastors were Honest about what they believe. Most try to conceal it behind a lot of fluff and make sound as though they are not in favor of sin. But there are no Exceptions. NONE of them will Say outright and plainly the Sin has to Stop. At best they may say you must be ‘Willing’ to stop, have a ‘Desire’ to stop, even ‘Hate’ the sin, but NEVER ACTUALLY Stop!

Think about it:
The Man Committing Adultery on his wife Seeks her forgiveness while still attached to the other woman!

The Thief is Granted forgiveness for his crime WITHOUT returning what he has Stolen!

The Liar is Granted Pardon for his lies Without telling the Truth!

And the Fornicator is Spirit Filled and Forgiven BEFORE he Returns to Chastity.

All this Because of the Fallacy that Man is Born a Sinner and the Delusion is so Strong that it’s inconceivable for Anyone in the Church System to Think Otherwise! They ALL Believe God has SAVED them IN THEIR SINS and that NO ONE EVER Stops Sinning. (including as you see, flagrant sins of the flesh) But the Real Human Tragedy of this entire Mess is that These People REALLY DO THINK they are going to heaven when they Die! And NOTHING you can Say to them or Show them in the Bible Can persuade them otherwise.

“He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” Rev22:11

When Does the SIn Stop?

2011-09-27T15:27:00.003-04:00

Is there any sin you must stop doing to be Saved? ALL the Pastors say an emphatic NO! ONLY the Sin of ‘Unbelief’ will exclude you from the Kingdom of Heaven. Basically what is being taught today as Salvation according to the Gospel of Christ is you get Saved as a poor helpless sinner, filled with the Holy Spirit and then God will magically empower you to ‘begin’ overcoming your vile habits over a period of time. Consequently you get ‘saved in your sins’ and then you repent. That’s how the process supposedly works.

However this method has some Serious flaws. First of all, the Sin NEVER Stops. The so-called ‘Saved’ Person continues to Struggle with all the same sins he allegedly repented of at the start. He is still ‘WAITING’ on God to change his desires and take away the vile habits. The Pastors keep telling him he is Saved and filled with the Spirit

and that God will soon ‘empower’ him to overcome the sin. He should remain in his focus group and not worry about the things he has no ability to control. The Problem: His bondage keeps getting worse!

In his Study group he is told that according to the Bible he was born a wretched sinner, guilty of Adams transgression and is hopelessly in bondage to an ‘inbred’ Nature of Depravity. At best all he can expect to be in this World is the Chief of Sinners fully Wretched to the core. Although the Power of God is hypothetically Working to deliver him from his sin. Soon he will begin to Blame God for his constant faults and the lack of success in overcoming them. Since he has been told also that continuously admitting he is poor wretched sinner keeps him humble, he has no Clue that he is growing more and more callus in his Rebellion.

The Message is very Confusing and Contradictory. On one hand the Pastors are saying that a Saved person cannot be living in continual sin. But on the other they assure you that ‘some’ deeply engrained sins are difficult to root out. Although you certainly Remained Saved in the meantime, even if such a sin is as vile as Molestation. The Logical Conclusion: The Commission of sin (any sin) is between the Person and God and Clean up is on God’s timetable. The final outcome of Salvation is Secure in Christ so the person must continue to Trust that God is faithful no matter what happens in his flesh.

What is so Perplexing about their Message is Some of them teach that Repentance is a Fruit of Salvation. You Get Saved and then repent. But others (many others!) don’t even mention Repentance. It’s not even a Mandate for Salvation! Therefore the Biblical Process of Godly Sorrow working Repentance UNTO Salvation is null and void.

They either have it in Reverse or Not at all. Nonetheless EVERYONE teaches that its God’s Responsibility to Clean you up according to His schedule, hence the Professing Masses are Wallowing in their sin while they wait for some Divine guidance to miraculously straighten them out. Although it NEVER happens.

Why is God so limited in His Power that all He can do is Cover man’s sin and Pretend He can only see the Perfection of His Son? The Bible says that He has given us all things that Pertain to Life and Godliness and that we are Partakers of His Divine Nature in order to escape the Corruption that is in the world through lust! (2Pet1:3-4) It also States that we can do ALL THINGS through Christ who Strengthens us. (Phil4:13) And the Same Power that Raised Christ from the Dead is at Work in us! (Eph1:19-20) So What’s the Problem? WHY (under their message) do people remain wretched sinners forever in bondage to lust? Would God intentionally limit Himself in dealing with man? If it’s His Job to Clean man up, Why doesn’t it ever seem to happen?

The answer is very simple. It’s NOT His Job to change man’s Desires from evil to good! In Repentance you Cease to do Evil and Learn to do Good. (Isa1:16) You Forsake your evil ways and unrighteous thoughts. (Isa55:7) You lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted Word that is able to Save your soul! (Js1:21) The Clearing of Wrong Doing is your Part. Granting forgiveness is God’s. (2Cor7:10-11) Unless man gets Clear of his sin in Repentance, it will NEVER Stop. Think about it! People Stop their vile habits all the time. They break free of alcohol, drugs, various addictions. (Without God!) Man is perfectly capable of Doing what is Right. It may not be easy, but NO one can deny that it has been done.

But you MUST Understand, Stopping your sin (or addiction) DOES NOT automatically restore you to favor with anyone. It only PROVES that you are making a sincere & Diligent effort to Change. As in the case of Adultery. Abandoning the adulterous relationship will not automatically reconcile the broken marriage relationship. It only Proves your remorse and sorrow for causing the separation. The offended party must be motivated by the effort made to Freely Grant forgiveness and restore the relationship.

God has Granted Man the Grace of Repentance PROVEN by DEEDS, to Forgive his sins and Restore him to a Right and Clean Relationship, Washed & Purged by the Blood of Christ. Man is Free to Choose, which makes him responsible to Obey. (Josh24:15) We are Workers Together with God in the Process of Redemption. (2Cor6:1) The Pastors have fallen prey to a Deadly Error by insisting man must be Saved in his sins. Flee them if you Can!

Have all Sinned?

2011-09-27T15:25:00.003-04:00

‘All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God’ Rom3:23

This is the Stronghold of the Born in Sin Doctrine. All mankind at birth are guilty of Adam’s sin and stand condemned before God. BUT is this what the Writer intended to convey? Massive evidence reveals clearly that no one in early times believed in any kind of ‘Original Sin’ doctrine or that man could inherit the guilt of another. They believed that Sin is a Choice people make of their own free will. So why have ‘all sinned’?

First the entire Bible no where states that Adams sin has been passed down to all mankind. In fact it states the VERY opposite: Ezk18:20,’The son Shall NOT bare the guilt of the father’ But some have injected a fallacy into Rom5:12 and insist that ‘all sinned in Adam’. By this logic we must then conclude further that ‘in Christ’ ALL are made Righteous. (Rom5:17-18) If Adam made everyone a sinner, then Christ has made everyone Righteous!

Certainly no one would agree with such a notion, therefore to prevent this Universal Salvation of all mankind they invented the Doctrine of Election. Therefore ‘all’ means only the Elect. So in this instance all doesn’t mean all.

The Same holds true of such passages as 1Tim2:4 & 2Pet3:9, ‘God is not willing nay perish but that ALL come to repentance and be saved’. But again, not all are saved, only the elect. You begin to see how this fallacy works. Rom3:23 encompasses ALL mankind, not because they have sinned (Rom5:12) BUT because Adam sinned. Therefore none are righteous. They must be Saved in their sins, declared Right and Covered by Grace. The Package in a Nut Shell. Confess, Believe and Trust…..and DON’T ask any more questions.

In Reality Romans 3, like Jeremiah 17 is speaking about rebellious people who have rejected God, NOT Desperately wicked Believers or even ALL of mankind! The Writer is saying that all these wicked people are sinners and their only hope is to Repent and turn to God. He is referring to ‘all who have sinned’, NOT everyone on earth. Rom5:12.

Romans 3:10-18 is taken from several Old Testament passages. The ‘None’ Righteous is speaking of the folly of Godless people rejecting truth. Read the Passages! Psalm 14 & 53 Begins: “The FOOL has said in his heart there is no God!’ Declaring there is no Just man on earth who does good, Ecc7:20 is contrasted with the Just Righteous man! Ecc7:15. ECC Chapter 7 concludes that God made man UPRIGHT, but he has sought out many schemes!

Psalm 5 is again contrasting the Righteous with the Wicked. Ps40, ‘The Poison of asps’ is NOT speaking about all of mankind! But Wicked men who pursue the Righteous. Ps10 is much the same, speaking of Triumph over evil. The mouth full of curing and deceit is the wicked man boasting against God. Ps36 ‘There is no fear of God before their eyes’ is describing Wicked men who despise God. And the Isaiah 59 reference is CLEARLY the Prophets warning against the overwhelming iniquity of people wallowing in their sins.

NONE of these Passages is inclusive of ALL Mankind! Man is NOT Born guilty of Adams sin. Righteous people exist and have existed on Earth and the Bible PROVES it! Certainly they are among the very FEW, but we cannot deny the fact that Scripture declares them Right. The Parents of John the Baptist, Zacharias and Elizabeth, Lk1:6, are said to be: ‘Both Righteous before God, Walking in all the Commandments & Ordinances, Blameless!’ Can we still call them ‘Sinners saved by Grace?’ If so, where is their transgression recorded? Simeon and Anna also, Lk2:25-38, were in Service to God and spoke by the Holy Spirit. CLEAN Vessels fit for the Master’s use! (2Tim2:20-21) Noah, Daniel and Job were delivered from Judgment by their own Righteousness! Ezk14:14.

Enoch Walked with God and the Lord took him, Gen5:24. Noah is declared PERFECT in his generation. Gen6:9

There is no record of Joseph sinning or Samuel and many other Prophets. Even Abel obtained witness from God that he was Righteous in his obedience.

In order to Receive this Truth you MUST reject your Reformed Theology that implies by Conjecture that all these people were poor helpless sinners who found Grace in the eyes of God and ‘declared’ righteous in their sins. However you would be opposing the Master Himself who Declared in Luke15:7, ‘that there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents that over ninety nine JUST persons WHO NEED NO REPENTANCE!’ WHY would our Lord say this if Such people DID Not exit? Surly in the Mind of God He would know all those who DO What is Right! 1John3:7. We know that the God Does not hear Sinners, John9:31. Therefore we find even a Gentile in Right Standing, diligently seeking after God and said to be JUST, Acts10:2, 22. The Condition stands firm (if you will accept it) ‘Every Nation whoever fears Him and WORKS Righteousness is Accepted by Him!’ Acts10:35.

WHY is this True? BECAUSE he who DOES what is Right is Righteous! (1Jh3:7) Man is Created by God FREE with Ability to Obey or Disobey. If he chooses to Sin he receives the Penalty of spiritual death (separation from God) Physical Death all Mankind has inherited from Adam, but Sin is a Personal CHOICE and once committed demands a Wage, Rom6:23. You Cannot be Reconciled in your sin by merely returning to Obedience. You must be Ransomed from the Bondage you have sold yourself into and ONLY the Blood of Christ can perform that task! Heb9:14. Restored you can Now Walk Upright with the Just Doing what is Right.

How Will they Hear!

2011-09-14T16:13:00.000-04:00

“How shall they hear without a Preacher!?” Rom10:14

The Message of Repentance and Faith Proven by Deeds is all but lost to our Present Generation. Even the few who still mention the need for repentance do so amid a minutia of fallacies and mixed Doctrine. So for the most part the Genuine message goes unheard. Therefore the Spirit Cannot Convict and Convince the World of Sin, Righteousness and Judgment to Come. Rather the spirit of error rules the day, and the Eyes of the Understanding remain Closed to the truth.

Among the Professing System true Spiritual Discernment Does NOT exist! The spirit of error can then lead them on every wild goose chase under the Sun and they THINK its God showing them special signs and wonders. They go from Delusion to More Delusion. Reasoning from the Word of Truth is foolishness to them and their understanding of good vs evil is off skew. Consequently the Light in them is Darkness and they will not Yield to the Truth. The Strongholds remain, arguments are not cast down and vain thoughts are paramount.

When the Wall is Empty, or only sparely occupied, the enemy can infiltrate the camp. If the Supposed Watchmen are off chasing the Winds of Doctrine WHO will Warn the people? The Savage Wolves come in undetected and more false teachers rise up from among yourselves to draw away disciples after their vain imaginations. The Pastors and Teachers have no Sense of Urgency or spiritual Discipline to keep the Message on track. They WILL NOT offend or make anyone feel uncomfortable in their sins. It’s Peace, Peace when there is no Peace! The people trust in their lying words and are confident that all is well with God.

There’s Over Ten Million Ministries, Churches, Sub-Ministries, Bible Schools, publishing houses, Missionary outreaches, and other Christian related organizations on the World Wide Web preaching the ‘Saved in Sin’ Message! Combine that with a Church on every corner in every town in America, spreading the soft-sell Message across the seas to the far corners of the Earth, and you have an innumerable amount of people bewitched under Satan’s magnificent illusion. Envision if you can how FEW have actually ever heard the real Message of Repentance. Most of the Planet is ignorant of this Truth! So what is the Likelihood of them Repenting according to the Scriptures? (Zero!)

Those who have actually heard the word ‘Repent’ in their religious jargon, are in the Repeat after me crowd and imagine themselves Saved in sin. Their Christianity is expressed as the ‘Chief’ of Sinners and ‘Wretched man’ plagued with a vile dual nature that causes them from birth to continue in their wrong doings. Many others are continually told that Repentance is never a mandate for Salvation. That its ‘Faith alone’ that saves them and as long as they are ‘Trusting’ in Jesus as their full Provision and Substitution they are forever secure in the arms of God. It’s an atmosphere of celebration and festivity where everyone is enjoying the ride while they feast on their abundance oblivious to the approaching whirlwind coming to take them away.

WHO, Claiming to be awake, can Standby in the face of this onslaught and Do NOTHING to expose it? HOW can you be lead by the Spirit of Truth and Cast dispersions on those in the Fight? Don’t you realize that your lack of urgency is an offense to God? Our efforts are like a drop of water in a bucket while you stand aloof of the False Prophets of Doom spreading their lies. Is it enough in your mind to write this off as fanaticism and just ‘love them’; Or will you at last Swallow your Pride and advance toward the sound of the guns? Its time to stop being concerned about what you might lose in the way of worldly endeavors by joining the fight and start counting the cost of your failure to get involved. Is it really of no consequence on your part to remain cold and complacent, lacking any real diligence toward these things? What would it take to motivate you OUT of that slough of despond?

Without a Preacher of Truth MOST of the world is Doomed. Satan already has his Army of false teachers in place and is adding to it daily. The people are memorized by the pomp and circumstance of the hirelings with their great swelling worlds of emptiness that promise liberty in sin. Our Weapons are mighty in God, yes, But we can only do so much. The battle needs to be joined, an offensive launched! If you Love the Truth then FIGHT to keep it Pure! The last thing we need at this point is more dissension in the ranks. It’s not obnoxious to Contend for the Faith. By everyone speaking the Same thing it will have a greater impact. But you MUST be Mature in the Faith, not a child!

The Truths Concerning Repentance and Faith are at the core of the Gospel Message. True Salvation Cannot take place unless man is first Convicted of Sin, Righteousness and Judgment and then gets himself Clear of his wrong doings. It’s Godly Sorrow that leads to Repentance UNTO Salvation! The ‘Church’ World has this in Reverse or not at all. Our entire society is in Crisis Mode and time is running out. Can you afford to keep a low profile while the dam is bursting and the flood waters approach? We ALL Stand before His Judgment Seat to give an account. What will your excuse be then?

Those who Endure!

2011-09-14T16:11:00.000-04:00

He who Endures to the End shall be saved! Matt10:22

Why do so Few endure fighting the Good fight of Faith? Aside from those who are supposedly saved inside the System and remain in bondage to their sin and disobedient to God. The Real question is focused on those WHO came into Christ through Genuine Repentance and Faith Proven by Deeds; and then grow complacent toward the things of God.

Truly they have been Partakers of the Holy Spirit and Tasted the Good Word of God and the Powers of the age to come.

So why do they grow weary in well doing and lose heart?

The Word had indeed taken Root in them and produced a crop. The evidence is clear in most cases. But somewhere along the line their perception of spiritual matters went askew. They become indifferent to the Word and no longer Dig Deep into the treasure trough of Truth. As a result their perception of Good and Evil is off center. Compromise is inevitable. Soon they are no longer Standing fast in One Spirit, with one Mind, Striving together for the faith of the Gospel. (Phil1:27) Instead they are Striving about words, methods and objectives. Accord is broken as their hearts refuse to yield to the Word of God.

Sin may or may not be the issue involved here. Many get themselves wrapped up in the world by degree and fail to recognize the damage it is doing to their Spiritual well-being. The enemy is ‘Rationalization’. They convince themselves that by showing love or patience to everyone, minus the contention, it will strike a balance more acceptable to the Nature of God. But lacking real discernment is the critical matter. Surly people have gone to extremes on both sides of this dilemma. We’ve all seen the over zealous miss-guided people flying in the face of everyone with stinging rebukes and mean spirited insults. And at the same time we are all aware of the common presentation of the ‘Love Gospel’, Repeat after me crowd who run around with John3:16 banners. But BOTH sides are wrong and surly NOT in the Spirit. Yet we Cannot ignore the Commands of Scripture to favor our own opinions in all this.

Contending earnestly for the Faith (Jude4) is equally as important as Faith Working by Love! We may not all be exactly the same in our approach to this, but unless we are Striving together with that One Mind in the faith we are Certainly NOT going to be on the same page in any of our endeavors. Further, complacency will make you resentful toward those who are Striving, You will see their admonishments for Unity as a demand instead of a Challenge to get back on track. Because of this flawed perception your heart will wax cold toward fellow brethren. The deeper you descend into spiritual insensitivity the more these matters will stir your ire and the closer you will be to giving up entirely.

What leads to this state of affairs? Simply LACK of Diligent Study and focus on the things of God. But the process is very subtle and you will hardly notice it unless you’re in a fervent Spiritual environment. Most easily fall prey to that ‘form of godliness with no power’ when they neglect the weighty matters of life. Study may indeed continue, but it’s shallow, only touching the surface issues. Pulling Down Strongholds and casting down arguments is out of the question because your own obedience is NOT fulfilled! (2Cor10:4-5) As a result any admonishments against complacency irritate you like someone dragging their finger nails across a chalk board. You begin to form a mental image in your mind of more ‘committed’ brethren as harsh and intolerant. Rather than their devotion to God calling you to a deeper commitment it fosters further aversion toward imitating their enthusiasm.

It’s easy to criticize someone in the arena taking the arrows and making an effort to get the Truth out. Zeal is often misconstrued as too extreme. Christ and His Disciples were habitually misunderstood because they were too Narrow for the religious System. But the naysayers are always in the majority and they incessantly have a better way of doing things in their minds. (although they are NEVER actually doing it!) They will be quick to tell you what you’re doing wrong. Perhaps this stems from an over estimation of their own spirituality. The Shallow inevitably compare themselves among themselves due to their lack of discernment. If they ever realized how far off the Path they are it could very well open their eyes again to the Truth.

This goes far beyond a weakness of faith or infirmity toward temptations. You Can’t drink Milk forever! There comes a time to Grow up. The Race is set before you. It’s your personal responsibility to Work out your Salvation and Make your calling Sure. God can’t do it for you. If you are lead by the Spirit then WALK in the Spirit! Your lack of diligence is an offense to God. Your with Him or against Him, there’s no halfway point. You fail to endure, grounded, steadfast and immovable, you lose it all. The

Narrow Way

is a difficult and solitary Walk. Truth will Never be in fashion. The Worldly will hate you, especially the religious systems. Try to win their approval with passive submission and you may as well join them. They relish acts of charity but they despise contention. The worst thing you can do is convince yourself that their ‘good works’ have some kind of merit in God’s Kingdom. If you’re not willing to stand aloof of their Systems and endure the displeasure of family and friends, you’ll Never understand those who ARE Doing it, and you will learn to resent the Truth! Remember: ‘The Wisdom from Above is WILLING to YIELD’, will you?

Minister of Sin!

2011-08-29T17:24:00.003-04:00

‘But if while we seek to be Justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found to be sinners, is Christ therefore a Minister of sin? God forbid!” Gal2:17

Who has Bewitched you that you should not Obey the Truth? Why can’t you See that Christ has been made a Minister of Sin by your Doctrines? Are you so blinded by the spirit of this age that living in bondage to your sin is Normal ‘Christian’ behavior? Can you be Justified by Christ and Continue to live in Sin? GOD FORBID!

In God’s Sight the Blessed are those that TURN MANY to Righteousness! (Dan12:3) They shall Shine like the brightness of the firmament in His Kingdom. The False Prophets NEVER turn anyone from their sin. (Jer23:21-22)

They always ‘Strengthen’ the hand of the Wicked and make the Hearts of the Righteous Sad. (Ezk13:22) Worse the Ministers of this Sin all fully believe that God really does Save people in their sins. So they THINK being found to be a sinner carries some kind of Merit concerning Salvation. Since (to them) Repentance means admitting your born sinful and have no ability to Obey the Truth until God fills you with the Holy Spirit. (hence, saved in your sins!)

Thus Justification is merely a Pronouncement by which the Sinner is declared ‘Not Guilty’ and in Right standing with God without the slightest Change in his Conduct or Behavior. Consequently the Pastors present this as the Standard Salvation Message in the World today. Which concludes as an ‘Instantaneous Conversion’ apart from any real Godly Sorrow for Sin. The People are promised Peace with God as they Walk according to their own imaginations worshiping a Christ that condones their sinful ways.

The Truth is under assault from every angle. People trust in lying words that profit no one. They will not amend their ways because their hearts are hardened in the bitter root of sin. Heaps of Pastor \ Teachers daily tickle their ears with fables and turn them further away from the Truth. The Snare is so Strong it is nearly impossible to awaken them out of their delusions. They are Convinced that the Double-Minded Divided condition of their hearts is pleasing to God and that He will take them to Heaven even if they never reform.

You can find Pastors so blatant in their false teachings that they will insist that Repentance is NOT a Mandate for Salvation.. Recently a certain one of them said, “Show me one passage in the Bible that says you have to turn from sin to be saved! It’s impossible!” It HARDLY need be said, but to this outrageous remark let the Bible Speak:

“To TURN them from Darkness to Light, From the Power of Satan to God!” Acts26:18

“Lest they should understand with their heart and TURN so I could heal them!” Matt13:15

“Lest they should TURN and their Sin shall be forgiven them!” Mark4:12

“That Repentance and Remission of sin should be Preached in His Name!” Lk24:47

How far gone is it out there? Are they so long down the

Wide Road

of Destruction that they can no longer hear the Words of Christ? Modern Christianity is submerged in Idolatry. They are in love with the world and into the very Depths of Satan. Their hearts have grown dull. Their ears are hard of earring and their eyes they have Closed! They Drawn near to God with their mouths and honor Him with their lips. But their heart is FAR from Him and in Vain they Worship Him, teaching as Doctrines the Commandments of men. (a Sad state of affairs, very Sad)

Certainly the present Condition of our Churches and Society in general testifies to the fact that Christ has been made a Minister of Sin. The Grace of God is not only a License for Immorality, its PERMISSION to Spit in God’s Face! The shameful things Pastors are saying from their Pulpits are a disgrace to the Gospel. They are like Blind men stumbling in the Dark Claiming they can SEE! Like the Religious leaders of old, Christ Himself encountered, they Refuse Sound Doctrine and MOCK the Doctrine which is according to godliness. Speaking in Great Swelling words of emptiness, with smooth tongues defiled by the world, they Practice to deceive as they Twist and Pervert God’s Holy Word to their own destruction and to the Ruin of those who hear them.

The Present Day teachers of Christianity have AGAIN Taken away the Key to Knowledge. They have not entered into the Kingdom and HINDER those who are entering. Now the people delight in their Message! They come, sit in the Pews, listen and do not DO any of the words they hear. It is to them like a lovely song, or sounding instrument as they stand in the House (they called God’s house) and Claim Deliverance from all evil in His Name. Hidden in their hearts are adulteries, fornications, lies, murder and love for the world. Christ is their personal Minister of Sin!

Can ANYONE TURN them from their Evil ways and Convince them to Amend their Iniquity? They walk in lies and put Darkness for Light; Calling evil good and good evil. Will ANYONE hear the Words of TRUTH….Or will the Great Harlot of Babylon (the present day System) Devour them all into the depths of Perdition?

The Farce!

2011-08-29T17:23:00.002-04:00

You’re Counted Righteous while you Remain Vile. You’re Future sins are already forgiven. Jesus Served as your Substitute, not Example. You’re Saved by Faith Alone, apart from Deeds. The Moral Law no longer applies. Repentance is admitting you were born sinful without ability to respond to God. Every minute of every day you are inundated with Teaching that says ‘Christians’ are Sinful to the Core, Wretched in their hearts, BUT COVERED by Grace! The Vast Majority of Christendom also assures them they are eternally secure no matter what they do. God will even KILL them and take them to heaven early if they fall into too much sin! You can Deny Him, but He WON’T Deny You! The People LOVE it, otherwise they would Flee from this vile Message and Cry out to God for Mercy in True Repentance.

Basically you are ‘Saved’ in your sins. You Do NOTHING to Get saved and NOTHING to Stay Saved. If you DO anything to Secure the outcome of your Salvation you are fallen from Grace and eternally lost. Your Pastors may tout holiness and self-control in the Name of Jesus, but its all fluff. The Rhetoric sounds Biblical as to deceive the hearts of the simple, but its lacking in any real impact on the conscience. The People remain comfortable in their sins, assured they are forgiven by Grace because they ‘Believe’. No one is Warning them of the impending Doom if they fail to Change their ways. Admonishment is considering Judging and complacency is the Norm.

The theme in Scripture is Departing from Iniquity! (2Tim2:19, Read it!) To Go and Sin no More! (Jh5:14, 8:11) . To Awake to Righteousness and Sin Not! (1Cor15:34) He who Sins is of the Devil. (1Jh3:6-7) Sin Shall Not have Dominion over you. (Rom6:14) You Are DEAD to Sin. (Rom6:8-9) Crucified with Him and Raised to Newness of Life! (Rom6:4-6) A New Creation in Christ. 2Cor5:17! Professing Christians may indeed be Blind to these Truths, but they testify nonetheless of appalling moral conditions in our Society at large.

In the Churches everything is in REVERSE! The People are ‘Workers’ of Iniquity! (Matt7:21) Not Departing from it. Instead of sinning no more, they are taught to GLORY in their sins as though sin humbles them rather than hardens their hearts the more. (Heb12:15) They Proudly proclaim themselves the CHIEF of Sinners & Roman’s Wretch, as taught constantly by their Pastors. Their lives are a reproach to Christ. They lack both Sincerity and Purity, which are the PURPOSE of the Commandment! (1Tim1:5) No one is Crucified with Christ in Repentance and Walking in Newness of life. They Walk and Operate in the Flesh, not the Spirit, Divided in heart and Double-Minded in all their ways. They are waiting for God to Clean them up living under the Perfect excuse that they were Born Sinners and incapable of real Obedience to God. It’s all a HUGE FARCE and makes no Logical sense whatsoever, but the Delusion is Strong and VERY FEW have been able to escape the snare.

The Message of Redemption in the Bible is really very simple when you remove all the fluff of church doctrine.

God is willing to FREELY Forgive your sin IF you will OBEY HIM! That’s all He is asking. No one has to Suffer in your place or endure His Retributive Wrath. It’s NOT Necessary for any kind of Mystical Sin Transfer to take place or for you to Trust in something you don’t’ really understand.

“Seek the Lord while He may be fund, Call upon Him while He is Near. Let the Wicked forsake his ways and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him RETURN to the Lord and He will have Mercy on him and to our God, for He will Abundantly pardon!” Isa55:6-7. “Cease to Do Evil and LEARN to DO Good!” Isa1:16

“To OBEY is Better than Sacrifice!” 1Sam15:22

“HE became the Author of Eternal Life to all those who OBEY Him!” Heb5:9

The reason you don’t understand this Simple Message of Repentance and Faith Proven by Deeds, is that you THINK God is obligated to Save you ‘in your sins’, Based on the FARCE of Original Sin. You’ve been taught to Trust in Christ and WAIT for God to Magically Change you in due time. Since this is all to happen by ‘Provision’ (what Christ did in your place) NOTHING needs to be done but Trust. In ‘Position’ you are Righteous and accepted by God in spite of your continual sin and lack of Obedience to His Word. All the EXACT OPPOSITE of Scripture!

Under these erroneous terms you yourselves would NEVER find such notions to be acceptable. Only a dead beat Reprobate would THINK that Doing Nothing would put them on the Right Track in daily life or any human endeavor that requires great diligence to achieve. No one would ever rise to the status of a Doctor, Engineer, Scientist, or Professor or for that matter an accomplished tradesman or entrepreneur. If our societal norm was based on what Professing Christians believe is going to get them into heaven, it would be in a sad state of affairs lacking any real future….BUT WAIT! Our Society is Falling Apart at the seams. SO NOW we Know WHO to Blame: Yourselves for believing in the Lie.

Will You Repent!

2011-08-16T15:49:00.000-04:00

“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” John3:16

Does this Single Passage Capsulate the Gospel Message? Will you then merely ‘Believe’, and Trust that you have eternal life? Did you know that the Bible also says that the ‘Devils Believe’ and tremble? (James2:19) Are you then willing to stake your eternal destiny on the testimony of what men have said about John3:16? Is it Really ‘Faith Alone’ that Saves the Soul? Many think so, but the Real question is: ‘DID JESUS THINK SO?’

Jesus said that NOT Everyone who says to Me Lord, Lord will Enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who DOES the Will of My Father in heaven! Matt7:21. Is Doing the Will of God merely ‘Believing’ in Jesus? Again, many will tell you so. But yet Christ Himself answered the question of who would be Saved in Luke13:24, He said: “STRIVE to enter the Narrow Gate, for Many, I say to you, will Seek to Enter and NOT be Able!”

Your Churches tell you ‘Seek and you shall find’ but that’s only a PART of this Message. If you fail to STRIVE

(that is put forth a strenuous effort in the face of all adversity) you Will NOT Enter. WHY? Because not only is the Gate Narrow it is also DIFFICULT and only a FEW will be able to find it. Matt7:14. No wonder the Apostle Peter proclaimed to the Saints that the ‘Righteous’ are Scarcely Saved!’ 1Pet4:18, or More Clearly: ‘Saved with GREAT Difficulty.’ It certainly appears that he understood the Gospel Message of His Lord in plain language.

Further is the aspect of ‘Repentance’, Preached as the Basic fundamental Message from the Start. When Jesus described those coming to Him at the Judgment, claiming good works done in His Name, He called them ‘Workers’ of Iniquity! (Matt7:22-23) They were Not among the FEW who had ‘Departed from Iniquity’ (2Tim2:19)

Under the God so loved the World Gospel, NO ONE is Departing from their Iniquity. In fact they are being taught the Very Opposite! That you come to Christ ‘in your sins’ He Receives you and Cleans you up later.

Is this REALLY what the Bible teaches? Are you Certain it’s Correct? Your Soul is hanging in the balance.

EVERYWHERE the Message of Repentance includes a Clearing of Wrong Doing BEFORE Pardon can be granted. (2Cor7:10-11) Surly this is an extremely Difficult concept for you to accept, having sit under the ‘Love’ Gospel for so long. But it’s TRUE none the less. John the Baptist and Christ Himself followed the Prophets and called for this kind of Repentance as the Single Condition to be Reconciled to God and enter the Kingdom. (Matt3:-10, Lk3:8)

Isaiah said: “Let the Wicked forsake his ways and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him RETURN to the Lord and He will have Mercy on him. For He will abundantly pardon.” Isa55:7

Hundreds of Passages could be sited proclaiming the exact Same Message of Repentance. So when the Lord compared His Message to that of the Prophets, He used Jonah as His example. (Luke11:29-32, Mt12:38-42)

Upon hearing the Repentance message of Jonah the people Nineveh STOPPED sinning, shut down their city and Cried out to the Lord, assuming Nothing. Real Repentance includes a Season of godly sorrow in which the Pennant person STOPS or gets Clear of their Wrong Doings! (It Does Not happen after Salvation)

That’s why 2Cor7:11 Concludes by saying, “In ALL these things you PROVED yourselves to be CLEAR in this matter!” (Meaning PURE as in Acts15:9) THEREFORE a Genuine Repentance unto Saving Faith is PROVEN by DEEDS, Just as the Bible Says! Acts26:18. It’s NOT Repeating words, Receiving anything or Trusting in a concept.

You have been LIED to! Your Eyes are Closed to the Truth! OPEN them and TURN while Mercy is still available.

“To Open their Eyes and to TURN them from Darkness to Light and from the Power of Satan to God, that they May receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are Sanctified by Faith in Me!”

You MUST Break your Conditioning!!! Come Out from among them. Depart from Iniquity and Seek His Mercy.

The Path will be Difficult and Narrow, every diversion under the sun will try to hinder your progress, including your own passions and desires. The Old man has to Die in Repentance…..DEAD TO SIN….(Rom6:4-6) The Body of Sin Done away with so that you are NO LONGER a Slave to Sin! You Come out of Repentance a NEW Creation in Christ. (2Cor5:17) Not Still addicted to it in need of ‘Christian Counseling’. You were NOT Born a Sinner!

(You became addicted to sin by long practiced habit. Eph2:1-3)

The Love Gospel has the Process Backward. You supposedly get Saved in your sins and God cleans you up later.

But admit it. DOES ANYONE Ever get Cleaned up? Many get worse, but None are released from their bondage.

They fall under the Deception that sin humbles them and learn to Love the Message that they are poor sinners saved by Grace. Soon the Conscience is Seared and the heart waxed cold. The Light in them is Darkness and how Great is that Darkness! DON’T let it happen to you! Repent Now, like the People of Nineveh and find His Mercy.

Truth vs Lie!

2011-08-11T13:47:00.000-04:00

The Fallacy:

Free Will
Limited or non-existent. No Ability to Choose or Obey God
Invented Concepts: Pre-Venient ,Universal & Enabling Grace

To off-Set Man’s natural depravity (No Biblical Support)

Original Sin:

Man inherited sin of Adam as result of fall

He is Born Dead in Sin, wholly depraved, a lump of sin

His natural human desires (concupiscence) are evil, making Temptation sin
He is inbred with a Dual Nature and is Double-Minded

Invented Concepts: Roman’s Wretch, Chief of Sinners

Invented Concepts of Doctrine:

Salvation by Faith Alone:

No Repentance of Repent after Saved (over long term)

Repeat after me, Sinner’s prayer. Accept, Trust, Rest

Instant Justification no evidence of Deeds involved

Substitutionary Death of Christ:

Christ Died in our Place, Receiving Punishment & Wrath of God

Sin of Mankind was transferred to Him on Cross

Past, Present and Future Sins are Wiped out and Covered

Man is Saved by Trusting in this Provision by Faith

Imputed Righteousness:

Christ’s Obedience and Righteousness is Transferred to Man at Justification

God sees Man as Righteous although he remains sinful by nature

Practical Righteous is Positional, based on Trusting in the ‘Provision’

At Best, Sanctification is Gradual, sinning less and less

Eternal Security: (Perseverance of Saints)

Christ Secures Man’s Salvation, Deeds will NOT Determine the outcome

Only Sin that will Separate man from God= ‘Unbelief’

If Elect you will Endure to end, If Not you will fall back into sin. (but you sin daily in thought, word and deed anyway)

Election, Predestination, Absolute Sovereignty of God:

God Determines the Elect, Predestines them, Calls, Saves & Justifies.

The Elect will Respond to Universal or Prevenient Grace (the effectual Call!)

God is immutable (unchanging) so everything was predetermined in advance

Biblical Truth:

Free Will:
Will and Ability Free, a Gift from God (Only Pagans believed in a dual nature

Man can freely choose between Right and Wrong, is Responsible for Actions

Man is Born in a Neutral State with: Yetzer tow and Yetzer Ra Tow is Moral conscience, Ra is human impulse or desires, neither is sinful!

Original Sin:
Free Will is fundamental to Judaism and the Early Christians. Only the Pagans believed in the OS.. To Paul & Apostles Every Person had the ability to choose good or evil.

Salvation by Faith:
Faith and Deeds are Synonymous, one in the same thing

Repentance and Faith are Both PROVEN by Deeds!
Man is Justified by Deeds and NOT by Faith Alone!

Ransom or Christ Victorious!
Christ came to Destroy the Works of the Devil

To Rescue man from the Corrupting influence of sin

Deliver him from Darkness to Light, Power of Satan to God
His Death on Cross was an Example for man to DIE with Him to Sin

He died on Our Behalf NOT in our Place

Reconciliation (not Atonement)

Determined by a Clearing of Wrong Doing & Subsequent Good Works

Happens through Season of godly sorrow & Diligent effort to change

Baptism of Repentance Old man is Crucified, Buried, Dead to sin

Sanctified and Justified at Salvation, New Creation!

Imputed Righteousness:

DOING what is Right makes you Righteous

Obedience to the Truth Purifies your heart

Gracious influence, Precious Promises to Add to your faith, Make Calling sure

Grace teaches godliness, Self-Control in the Present age!

Seen and Taught as ‘Conditional’ by Early Saints:

Salvation, Judgment is According to Deeds

Election, Predestination, Determined by your Choice

Sovereignty of God never disputed, but Man remained Free to Choose

NO ONE in early times taught: Penal Sub, Moral Transfer, Imputed Righteousness, Eternal Security, Absolute Depravity, Election or predestination. Or Salvation by faith alone. All Fallacies!

This is What they have to Say to Promote their Doctrines:

If you DO any of these things, You’re Trying to Save yourself and have fallen from Grace. It is NOT Possible to Stop Sinning in this life. You must TRUST!

The Lord may have said, ‘If you Deny Me, I’ll Deny you’, but what He really meant is He WON’T Deny you! He will remain faithful

Doing what is Right is Trusting that HE Did it for you! In Position you are Pure

His Active & Passive Obedience has been Imputed to you by Faith. In God’s sight you are Holy and acceptable.

The Law has been Abolished and nailed to the Cross. Any effort on your part to Obey it is ‘Works’ (Saving self!)

No one is Perfect, It’s Not of Works and you Can’t Judge! The Grand Conclusion of Church Doctrine. You are the Chief Sinner, Romans Wretch and will NEVER be anything more

The Diligent Passages are Written to Show us how far short we fall and how Much we need His Grace to Keep us Covered. All the admonitions and Warnings of Scripture are a Relationship issue, not a Salvation issue.

The Common Walk of Professing Christians is: Lukewarm, Biblical illiterate

Cold, Corrupted and Dead to God. Since everyone is in some degree of disobedience it is Considered Normal.

Since your Salvation is Secure in Christ, you cannot be told that any of these things are necessary to enter the Kingdom

At Best the Pastor can Suggest you Obey, Study and Do what is Right. He CANNOT tell you that Lacking in these things will cost you your Soul.

If You Keep anything, you’re trying to Save yourself
He Should be Lord as you TRY to Do what He said

He Overcame on the Cross, you Trust
My house is Secure in Christ
He is Preparing our hearts for Grace to Show us the things we cannot do acceptably and assuring us He did it all for us.

The Bible Says:

You must Endure, Holdfast, Be Steadfast in the faith, Deny self, Take up Cross, Work out Salvation, Make Calling Sure, Run with endurance, Fight good fight!

If you Deny Me I will Deny you! If ashamed of Me, I ashamed of you!

You will Reap what you Sow and will face Judgment for your Deeds.

DOING what is Right makes you Righteous. Faith is Doing Right. Obedience to the Truth Purifies the heart

The Law has been Established & Upheld by faith. It’s the Traditions and Ordinances of men that was Nailed to the Cross. The Commandments are in full effect and will determine the Outcome of your Salvation.

The Bible says Sin no More, Depart from Iniquity, Perfect Holiness, Keep yourself Pure, Come OUT from among them!

You Must Walk Worthy of high Calling, Be Found Worthy. Examine Self, Be Ready, Brave, Strong. Serve God Acceptably with Reverence and Fear.

Constantly told to be Diligent and Contend for Faith. Be Steadfast, Established, Grounded and unmovable in the faith! Be HOT and KEEP Yourself from Idols.

ALL this will Determine the Outcome of Your Salvation. You Will be JUDGED According to you DEEDS!

The Lord has Said:

If you Love ME KEEP My Commandments!

Why call ME Lord and Not DO what I say? (Lk6:46-48)
He Who OVERCOMES will Enter the Kingdom! (Rev22:14)

DIG Deep or your house will Fail

Deny Yourself and FOLLOW ME!

Go and Sin No More!

When Your Obedience is Fulfilled!

2011-08-01T16:24:00.000-04:00

and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. 2Cor10:6

‘ Judge Not!’ Matt7:1, Every Professing Christian in the System today has this verse down pat. They cower behind it like a shield to excuse their sins. One hypocrite dare not Judge another hypocrite for doing something THEY themselves are doing! And that’s the bases of this fallacy. But Jesus is speaking of hypocritical judgment, NOT Righteous Judgment. (John7:24) In such cases the Bible speaks in this manner: ‘The Spiritual man Judges all things, yet he himself is rightly Judged by no man’ 1Cor2:15.

But this will only Work when ‘Your obedience is fulfilled!’ As long as professing Christians believe doctrines that absolve them as helpless sinners ‘saved’ by Grace, this excuse will reign paramount. No one is going to point out the sins of others when they can be accused of doing the same things. The Message has everyone ‘Saved in their sins’ and the Doctrines defend them. Therefore discernment is non-existent and the spirit of error is in full control. The foregone Conclusion is that NO amount of immoral behavior will disqualify anyone from the Kingdom.

Such Directives given by Christ Himself as Matt18:15-17, in dealing with a sinning brother are entirely ignored. Violators are emboldened instead of admonished and there’s no chance of anyone repenting of their vile deeds. (why should they?) Sins of Disqualification were a serious matter in early times. The offender was turned over the Satan! (1Cor5:5, 1Tim1:20) If there was any possibility of them Repenting of their vile deeds, it had to be through a season of godly sorrow and clearing before they could be restored to fellowship. The prospects of a second Repentance however was not always a given, as it is in the ‘sin repent, sin repent’ churches of today. They understood Heb6 & 10 in a literal sense and the great difficulty of someone passing through the bitter sorrow of a second repentance.

Sinning in such Vile manner as sexual immorality was Trampling the Blood and Insulting the Spirit of Grace! The Greater Condemnation applied because Grace Raised the Standard of holiness, not lowered it.
The Church had to Police itself in these situations. A little Leaven leavens the whole lump! (1Cor5:6) You allow one offense to go unpunished and you lower the standard for everyone. These kind of things are not to be Named among people who profess to follow God! (Eph5:5-7) The Wrath of God comes upon the Sons of Disobedience. Share in their sins by silently condoning them and you partake of their guilt.

Real Love does not overlook Sin nor does it suppose that Grace has everyone Covered. It Speaks the Truth (in love) despite the consequences. But it Cannot speak out of hypocrisy! Unless YOU have Departed from Iniquity (2Tim2:19) your words are in Vain. ‘When your obedience is fulfilled’ the passage says. But as the Chief Sinner and Romans Wretch (as your doctrines teach) it’s impossible for any of this to be fulfilled. You think that rebuking sin is ‘Judging’ and Pastor says we can’t do that because we are all ‘sinners’ saved by Grace. So he continues to tickle your ears with the fallacies you love to hear.

Most Professing Christians today remain in a fog. They do not have a Sound Mind based on the Power of God. These things are taught to them but have no real impact on their conduct because the ‘Doctrines’ explain everything away. That’s why people can Read the Bible (over and over again) but derive no Truth from its pages. They are drowning in a flood of Strong Delusion coming out of the Pulpits, Seminaries, books and study materials. To unravel the fallacies requires a diligent understanding of a wide range of Biblically related knowledge. When your comprehension is limited to whatever the Pastor has to say you could literally memorize large portions of Scripture and STILL be Deceived. Scholarship is no assurance of spiritual understanding. Reams of books are written by our PhD’s that are nothing more than noisy rhetoric.

The ‘Spiritual man’ can Judge all things because he is NOT taught of men! (1Jh2:27) He is Grieved and Saddened when sin abounds and the people are lost in deception. He cannot sit by silently and allow them to drop into the pit without at least making an attempt to WARN them of the impending danger. He knows that without holiness no one will see the Lord. (Heb12:14) His ‘Judgments’ are not vindictive, neither is he self righteous in his quest. He has Broken the Conditioning of the False Teachers and the LIGHT of Truth is blazing in his heart! The Word is a burning fire shut up inside your bones! (Jer20:9)

Failure to Warn the Righteous and the Wicked that Sin will Destroy them (Ezk18) is an offense that will cost you your own soul! You dare not shrink from this important responsibility, God is Watching.

I Know Your Works!

2011-08-01T16:22:00.000-04:00

I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. Nevertheless I have a few things against you, Rev2”19-20

Herein lays the present day conundrum. The abundance of Works done in Jesus Name to aid humanity while the Message they Preach is totally Apostate. Thyatira was in the Depths of Satan, but reaching out to the world in compassionate service. The System today is no different. It rests on its laurels while it teaches people a Doctrine of immorality. Although they will vehemently deny it, the truth is cannot be denied.

Every Drunk, drug addict and Reprobate associated with the Churches or Missions is ‘SAVED’ in their sins. And in them they REMAIN! (Just ask them) The same goes for the more benevolent works of reaching out to Children. Who can be critical of the Schools, recue centers, food banks, and the endless lists of youth groups, camps and ‘Christian’ training centers? People dedicate their lives in ministry to the down trodden, physically challenged, abandon and starving masses. The Work they do is highly commendable and touches the emotions of any normal minded person. But it’s nothing more than Sounding Brass and Clanging Cymbals.

WHY? Because LOVE DOES NOT Rejoice in Iniquity, but when TRUTH and JUSTICE Prevail! 1Cor13:6. TRUTH (God’s truth) Delivers people from the Corrupting influence of Sin. It DOES NOT allow them to remain in the ‘Depths of Satan’. Nor does it declare that all people are BORN Sinners,

Without willing ability to perform real acts of virtue! Such an assertion is the DEPTHS of Satan.

Man can Indeed perform acts of Virtue and DO the Right thing. By telling him that he will Never be anything but a Vile Sinner Covered by God’s Grace you Destroy the Power of the Gospel to bring him from Darkness to Light from the Power of Satan to God. Man is Responsible for his actions and Accountable to God for his wrong doings. Surly he must Repent of his unrighteousness. BUT if his sin is something ‘inbred’ in his flesh, like a disease, HOW can he EVER Do what is right? He Can’t… and Must be: ‘Saved’ in his sins so he can then mix his Good Works with the Works of Darkness! Everything he does for God is tainted by his own Double-Minded malady.

The concept is invented, but stands firm as the greatest fallacy of all time to which millions are in bondage.

Worse this false doctrine is the supporting tenet for all the additional fallacies written into Christian creeds. Basically the whole System naturalizes man and incapacitates his God given ability to DO what is Right.

Thus he performs the Good Works, but defiles them with a constant flow of immoral behavior. You can see the evidence all around. Since Grace is merely a ‘COVER’ for sin, not the Power to teach godliness and Self Control in this present age, the lack of personal responsibility is glaring.

Among the Churches, Millions are addicted to Pornography; Millions more to alcohol and drugs. Lust is rampant, molestation almost a daily occurrence, as is adultery even among the Pastors. Few can bridle their tongues or control their tempers. Congregations are filled with strife, back-biting, selfish ambitions, dissensions and heresies. No one will Challenge it or Pull Down the Stronghold of Lies keeping them in bondage. The Great Swelling Words of emptiness daily tickle their ears with the promise of Liberty in Christ while they remain slaves to their own corruptions. Everyone they reach (in their abundance of good works) is exposed to this Mind numbing Message. Children and adults alike. The Mind is diverted from seeking the Truth by the distractions of worldly amusements or the business of life.

The Carnality is cloaked with good works. No one is concerned about the sin or the false doctrines. It’s Peace and love when there is no Peace. Heart strings are pulled and sympathy overrules Truth! Casting any dispersions on a Special Olympics, Promise Rally or Soup Kitchen is taboo. You may as well Spit on the American flag, as say anything negative about Mother Teresa type outreach. They may Preach it’s ‘Not of Works’, but the Service is ongoing and never ending. It’s a Conscience soothing method to substitute obedience to the Truth.

The Works of themselves are not bad or evil. Nothing is wrong with showing compassion to our fellow man. But when at the same time you are doing these ‘good works’ you are spreading a cancerous message into the Minds of Men; You are making the hearts of the Righteous Sad, who God has not made Sad! Jesus came to Destroy the Works of the Devil. The Purpose of His Gospel is to Bring people from Darkness to Light, OUT of their Sin! NOT Pity them because they were Born depraved and Can’t Obey God. If you want real Change PREACH the Real Truth!

Counting the Cost, Again!

2011-07-29T13:48:00.002-04:00

And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish I, Luke14:27-28

The Present Day Church System is in shambles and under Strong Delusion. ONLY those who Come out of her have any chance of enduring on the

Narrow Way

into the Kingdom and avoiding the error of the Wicked. If you are so Blind that none of these things even stir you into action it’s not likely there is any hope of final redemption in your future. The first step for those of you awake or ‘slightly’ awake is to exit the Churches and begin Counting the Cost of Real Discipleship.

Jesus said a number of times that following Him meant Taking up your own Cross, Denying yourself and leavening your old life behind. Among the many things He said is ‘Putting your hand to the Plow and not looking back’, ‘Striving to Enter by the Narrow Gate’ and ‘Enduring to the end’ amid all adversity. Most of you are very familiar with these passages recorded in the Gospels. HOWEVER they have lost much of their impact because of the incessant pounding of the false teachers pushing the Substitution Doctrine. Therefore even among those who claim to ‘see the light’, confusion remains as to what it means to cut your ties with the World.

First of all you must understand that ‘Friendship with the World is enmity with God’ (Js4:4) When you bind yourself to worldly endeavors it’s the same as committing adultery in God’s eyes. Therefore it requires great care and watching to continue relationships with past friends, family members and working associates. Cutting your ties with the old life means a radical change in disposition and attitudes toward the things of the world. Like the original disciples you should have NOTHING in Common with these people. YES, Jesus dined with sinners, but He DID NOT partake in their amusements or revelry. He Didn’t go on Vacation with them! It’s important you understand this or you Risk falling back into a lukewarm state and might as well go back to church.

Every opportunity to interact with people of the world is another occasion to TELL them the Truth. This is NOT a Popularity contest! ‘Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets’ (Lk6:26) Most of them will disassociate with you (1Pet4:4) But only if you do not compromise the truth. If you suppose that by living a ‘Christian’ life (no smoking, drinking, cussing, ect) they will be influenced and eventually ‘ASK’ you why, WAKE UP! Most people already THINK they’re good enough and going to heaven when they die. Unless you Obey and Pull Down their Strongholds of Delusion, you’re deceiving yourself and becoming guilty of their blood. (2Cor10:4-5, Ezk18:19-26)

Certainly it’s Costly and you will most likely end up isolated from past associates and considered eccentric. But if you refuse this responsibility you will fall into a snare and finally be lost. This is NOT a matter of opinion or something to trifle with. The Master Himself has Commanded it. Are you not shamed by the dedication of the early Disciples who gave everything including their lives to follow Him? Need you be reminded of their exploits recorded in the Bible? What excuses you from Contending for the Faith? Why do your past friends and loved ones still feel so comfortable in your presence. Have you EVER taken the time and effort to sit down with them and make it Crystal Clear what it means to Repent and follow Christ? Have you Warned them about the dangers of false Religious traditions? Do you Fear pointing to the Churches and calling them Apostate? (is that too much for you to bare?)

Would you rather maintain your position in the World than Count the Cost of Real Discipleship? If you refuse to put your relationships with family and friends in jeopardy you may as well go back to the Churches. Why pretend? Is there really much of a difference between their lives and yours? You can always find a lot of nice people inside the Church system. As long as you don’t expose their false teaching or sin, they will love you and you’re welcome at all their dinners, picnics and meetings. Isn’t that what you’re doing now with all your associates, walking on egg shells to keep the peace? Are you so far gone that it’s NOT your Job to Contend or challenge anyone? Why keep kidding yourself, you’re in trouble spiritually. Just because someone is ‘Nice’ doesn’t mean they have the Spirit of Truth dwelling in them.

When you Repented (assuming that you actually did repent) wasn’t there a fire in your belly to tell everyone about Jesus? You didn’t care what anyone thought of you, if they cut ties, so be it. It comes with the territory. You couldn’t wait to Contend and stand firm for the truth. What happened? Who has bewitched you? REMEMBER therefore from where you have fallen and DO your first Works over again! Your lamb stand has been extinguished.

I Know Your Works!

2011-07-29T13:42:00.002-04:00

I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. Nevertheless I have a few things against you, Rev2”19-20

Without willing ability to perform real acts of virtue! Such an assertion is the DEPTHS of Satan.

The concept is invented, but stands firm as the greatest fallacy of all time to which millions are in bondage.

The Bitter Root of Sin!

2011-07-29T13:41:00.002-04:00

looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; Heb12:15

Professing Christianity today has become a haven of hypocrites and reprobates posing as followers of Jesus Christ. From the Pastors, teachers, theologians on down everyone is a Self Confessed Wretched, Chief of Sinners and Proud of it. They are Convinced that adopting such an attitude about Sin Humbles them. Many Pastors will report that they ‘Repent’ everyday thereby taking the pressure of living a holy life as an example to others off their shoulders.

The Rom 7 Wretched man and 1Tim ‘Chief’ of Sinners lie has almost everyone in the Church System enslaved in their sins. Pastors will use these passages as their iron clad evidence that ALL People are born Sinners and hopelessly in bondage to their evil dispositions and vile habits. The Message is highly revered because it’s the Perfect excuse to live in sin. And once the human Mind embraces this notion the hardening process shifts into high gear. Consider what happened to Esau who allowed that Bitter Root of sin to defile his heart. He went too far and God gave him up!

lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears. Heb12:16-17

But of course NO ONE has ever presented this important Truth in your church because it would Contradict the Wretched Man theory. And given that the supposed ‘Converts’ in attendance have never really Repented of their sins to begin with, it would also turn world’s upside-down and smash all hope. The Bible MUST remain in line with the Gutted Out teaching being pounded into the minds of the people world-wide. In this Manner the ‘Profane’ can comfortably attend and be FREE from any Guilt that may accuse them of their wrong doings. This is Why the Churches are filled with ‘Esau’ like Sinners, believing they are Saved, but with Hearts like Stone toward the Commands of God.

Can you grasp the horrible Damage this and other teaching in the churches has brought about in our Society? Probably not, if you’re looking from inside the System. To you the alternative is ‘Sinless Perfection’ and everyone knows the Bible doesn’t teach that. Perhaps not, BUT it DOES teach Heart Purity, A Walk Worthy of God, A Departure from iniquity and to GO and Sin NO more! A Profane person is one who will not Yield to God’s Truth or Seek to Cleanse himself of all filthiness and overflow of wickedness to perfect holiness in the fear of God. (James1:21, 2Cor7:1)

Because he sees himself as the CHIEF of Sinners and forever a Wretch, he thinks its God’s job to clean him up in due time. So as he grows more and more Profane with the ultimate outcome exactly what we see running rampant among professed Christians! (Fornication, adultery, drunkenness, homosexuality, child molestation, thievery, lying, cheating, murder…..you name it! So called ‘Christians’ are doing it!)

It’s an absolute disgrace and Tramples the Blood of Christ as well as Insults the Spirit of Grace! (Heb10:29) ONE thing is absolutely Mandatory in Real Christian Faith, that is HEART PURITY!

He PURIFIED their hearts BY FAITH! Acts15:9.

This happens at initial Salvation, not somewhere ‘down the road’, eventually by some ‘Magic’ formula of Grace. It happens when a person Genuinely Repents of their Sins. That Repentance PRODUCES:

Diligence, Clearing of Wrong Doing, Vehement Desire Change, fear and PURITY of heart! 2Cor7:10-11

Get this into your head and GET down on your knees weeping before God and Pray that SOME Fallow ground remains in your Stony heart and you haven’t reached Esau’s point of no return.

The Bible Teaches that God’s People are SAINTS, who Serve with reverent godly fear in an Acceptable manner. (Heb12:28) True Converts DEPART from Iniquity, not Wallow in it! (2Tim2:19) Sin hardens your heart and Disqualifies you from the Kingdom. (2Cor9:27, 1Cor6:9-10) DOING what is Right makes you Righteous! (1Jh3:6-7) It Doesn’t make you ‘Self-Righteous’!

You’re under Strong Delusion in the System and only a FEW will ever escape in time to really repent. 2Thess2:11-12. Most are not only numb to the truth and hard as Stones, but immune to it as well. It no longer brings about any conviction to their heart. They have trained their conscience to reject the guilt and believe the Lie. They are in a Mindless Bliss (they call peace) but seething with hatred beneath the surface.

Bring them the Truth, you instantly become their mortal enemy.

Living by Faith Means DOING What is Right! (1John3:6-7) ‘He who DOES what is Right is Righteous!’

What is being implied in the present day churches is that if you try to DO anything Right, you’re attempting to Save yourself and thereby ‘under the law’. Thus Modern Christianity has become the LAWLESS religion of the world. In effect the Pastors have neutralized Obedience to the Truth, although they will plead for it at times their own Doctrines conclude that man is off the hook because Jesus obeyed in their place! The Pastors may not definitively say that the Obedience is optional, but it’s strongly implied.

Carefully worded questions will always smoke them out. They CANNOT make Obedience mandatory to the outcome of Salvation. In their Minds, that would be a ‘Works’ Gospel. Most of them will be Vague with their explanations, but if you are able to discern the true nature of false doctrine (always laced with ‘some’ truth!) it’s easy to pick up on their subtleness. WHY will they Never expose false doctrine and they cringe when someone else does? Simple: Because they are PREACHING it! (will you expose yourself?)

Accordingly you can see how easy it is to fall prey under the Wretch-Chief Sinner Message. The whole System is designed around massive deception. The Pastors fear any change, they have no discernment whatsoever and anyone who comes along rocking the boat is branded a Heretic.

The Thief on the Cross!

2011-07-08T11:44:00.000-04:00

And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Luke23:43

Today in the Churches one of the most worn out excuses for people to keep living in Sin is the ‘Thief’ on the Cross, making it in ‘under the wire’ (so to speak) Whenever anyone from the System comes across one of our Videos or articles teaching the Biblical necessity for Purity and Obedience to God, they immediately run to the thief and claim his last minute mercy, as a wretched miserable sinner full of vile filth.

Pastors especially like to use this passage to Prove man can be absolutely forgiven ‘in his sins’. It’s an easy way to sooth the guilty conscience of his congregation and support his theology at the same time. But is this isolated incident really man’s free ticket into Paradise? NO ONE among the early Saints thought so. In their reams of written text NOT a Single one of them sites this passage in the manner described above. Can you possibly imagine early followers of Christ, who believed that their bloody Martyrdom in the arenas of Rome was a Witness for Jesus, using this kind of cop-out to avoid the pain? Not likely. Yet today the thief is used as the most common excuse in the church to continue in sin.

Much like the Chief Sinner Lie and the Wretched man fallacy, the Thief premise fits into the church love affair with reformed theology. If you see Christ as your Substitute instead of your Example to follow and THINK that His Righteousness and Obedience is transferred to you by faith, then what remains to be Done? Basically: NOTHING! God’s Wrath has been appeased, Jesus became sin for you, so the Thief can be magically forgiven with his last breath because sin is not only vanished on the Cross but also FORGIVEN IN ADVANCE! Thus you can see the basis of the ‘Death Bed’ conversion, in the minds of most Pastors. Lacking any real understanding of Repentance and the Nature of genuine faith, they march into the hospitals and coerce a dying person to ‘Repeat’ some words then assure them heaven awaits. It’s a horrible Deception and it’s a foundational tenet of their Doctrines.

WHY didn’t the early Saints constantly site the Thief incident in Luke’s Gospel as their assurance of future forgiveness? The answer is simple! They viewed the Death of Christ as a Ransom to Redeem man from the Corruption of sin. It was Darkness to Light, from the Power of Satan to God! (Acts26:18) To them Jesus came to DESTROY the Works of the Devil and Deliver them from Bondage. There was no Retributive Justice involved, the Reconciliation stands on what He did in our Behalf. NOT how He took our place and obeyed God for us. If His Death was a Substitute to avert God’s Wrath, WHY did the Thief have to Suffer on his own Cross and die such a horrible death? (for his crimes, you would say) BUT his crimes were paid for ‘in advance’, weren’t they? Such a notion sounds like Double Retribution (sin being punished twice!)

{at least according to your theology}

Instead of an excuse to sin, the Thief is a powerful illustration of Deep heart-felt broken Repentance.

(surly at the last minute, but genuine none the less) He not only cried out to God, but freely admitted his wrong doing and the just penalty deserved. In the mist of his blood, pain and agony he found that repentance and the Light of God shined within his darkened heart with the VERY IMAGE and Glory of Christ! Redemption….YES! Mercy, beyond our imagination. BUT NOT some excuse for you to suppose that anyone can make it in under the wire This was sharing in the Fellowship of His Sufferings in a final Baptism of Blood to seal it for eternity. (a far cry from what many of you think)

Let’s put the Sin question aside for a moment. Those of you who site the Thief are surly NOT the thief, that’s a given. What remains then is whether or not you’re going to Obey Christ’s Commands. They stand nonetheless because if you Love Him you WILL OBEY Him! Why do you call Him Lord and Do Not DO the things He said? Is it because you’re supposing that ‘making it in under the wire’ is a viable option and that’s your ‘Plan’? Given the fact that most of you have Never really Repented of anything to begin with, the possibility of you finding that kind of Repentance at the end is slim to none. Consider Esau in Heb12:16-17, he also sold his birthright to live a profane life of indulgence and afterward was UNABLE to find repentance though he sought it bitterly with tears.

Can you imagine a Pastor giving some dying person this kind of warning? NEVER in a million years! The farthermost thing from his mind. It would be ‘Repeat after me’ and BINGO you’re in like Flynn! He would then return to his congregation and report that this ‘person’ is at home with Jesus. Thereby bolstering the Lie that like the ‘Thief’ you have Nothing to worry about. You also are filled with Vile thoughts, a total lump of sin and desperately wicked. But Grace and Mercy have you covered, at least according to the Pastors. Nothing in the Bible is binding because Christ paid your debt in advance. You (and the thief) are Free and Clear, at least until the Judgment.

Faith Upholds the Law

2011-06-28T14:12:00.000-04:00

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid! On the contrary, we establish the law. Rom 3:31

If you’re told that Salvation is by Faith and NOT of Works, how does the Law come into play? Simple answer: ‘It Doesn’t’…..at least in your mind. But What is Faith? Is ‘faith without works’ dead? As James says or does the ‘works’ he is speaking of ‘FOLLOW’ Faith. Whereas the Faith comes first. So Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him as Righteousness. (Rom4:3)

But what if I also tell you that Abraham WALKED in the STEPS of his faith, doing the DEEDS of faith and thereby OBEYED God? (Rom4:14, John8:39, Heb11:8) Wouldn’t that make faith the following:
A Walk of Faithful Deeds and Obedience! All One in the Same thing. That’s why Faith (real faith) Upholds and Established the law. (Rom13:10) Because it Obeys and Keeps the Commands of Christ! In this the Bible then Makes perfect sense.

As ‘Workers’ together with God, we Work Out our Salvation in fear and trembling, Make our Calling Sure, Run the Race with endurance, Fight the good fight, Holdfast, endure, and obey. It’s no longer necessary for the pastors to explain all these away and convince you Deeds don’t matter. Because the Bible CLEARLY says you will Judged According to your Deeds:

who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, Rom2:6-8(Also Check: Matt12:37, 16:27, Jh5:28-29, 2Cor5:10, 1Pet1:17, Rev2:23, 22:11-14)

Now if Deeds will determine the Outcome of your Salvation (as these passages clearly state) WHY would you embrace a System of Doctrine that teaches otherwise? James plainly says that the ‘Devils also Believe’ James2:19. Meaning they indeed possess Faith! It’s undeniable that they (the devils) possess the SAME faith your Churches Preach as SAVING Faith. It’s the faith of Slothful, Biblical illiterate, lukewarm hypocrites who love the fun and games of their ‘religion’ but loath the Commands of Scripture.

Faith is WALKING in the Spirit, not the flesh. (Rom8:1-4) Thus it fulfills the Righteous requirements of the law and falls in line with the Message of Christ. When asked what must I do to inherit eternal life, He answered in this manner: “KEEP the Commandments!” (Matt19:16-22) Explained further therefore in Romans 8, The Greatest of all Commandments to love God is KEPT by WALKING in the Spirit….again a WORK of Faith With Power! (2Thess1:11) DEEDS and FAITH…..Synonymous! You can’t have one without the other or you’re nothing more than a ‘Devil’ who ‘Believes’.
What they have done inside the System is highly ‘Spiritualize’ the Bible and make simple truths into big mysterious doctrines only the theologians can understand. Thereby they can easily convinced the unlearned their ‘System’ is correct and the Bible actually does teach that your Sins are Covered by Grace, your Imputed Righteous and Eternally Secure. All by merely ‘Believing’ in Jesus! From there it’s easy to explain away all the Direct Commands and Warnings of Scripture. It’s says ‘Obey’ but Really means, HE Obeyed for you. It says ‘Serve’, but really means HE Served in your place. In fact, EVERYTHING Jesus said about Holding fast, enduring to the end, Taking up your cross, denying yourself, counting the cost, is to show you HE DID it all so you don’t have to!

You see how Slick this Message really is and why it’s dubbed ‘Great Swelling Words of Emptiness’ in the Bible. (2Pet2:18) Rather than you Working out your own Salvation, Making your calling Sure, Running the Race with endurance, Patiently Continuing in the faith, JESUS Did it all for you IN ADVANCE! That’s whey Faith can NEVER be associated with Works or Deeds of any sort, no matter What the Bible says. You Remain a Wretched, Chief of Sinners, Convinced that Sin humbles your heart before God, when in reality you’re growing Harder and Harder by the day in rebellion to the truth.

But that’s another discussion entirely, we’ll deal with later. Here we need to understand the Working Dynamic of Saving faith. It’s really VERY Simple: There is a LAW of Faith, Rom3:27, The LAW of Faith is LOVE, Gal5:6, Faith WORKS by Love, And Love Upholds and Fulfills the LAW! Rom13:10.

Without this Working Dynamic, you possess the Faith of Devils. James2:19. That’s why Faith Without Works is Dead and WHY Abraham was Justified by his DEEDS and NOT by FAITH ALONE! Js2:24.

More Smooth Words!

2011-06-15T10:22:00.000-04:00

Do not Prophesy to us right things. Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits! Isa30:10

Brood of Vipers! Who Warned you to flee from the Wrath to Come? DEEDS Prove Repentance! Produce them or Perish. Repentance Proven by Deeds is the Common theme throughout the Scriptures. EVERY Prophet sent of God Preached this Message, including the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is Based on the Solid Foundation of a Departure from Iniquity. Its Fundamental starting in the Book of Acts; Learned from the Prophets and faithfully imitated to the letter.

“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts2:38

testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts20:21

to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me. I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds! Acts26:18-20

In Repentance the Sin has to STOP! You came in Godly Sorrow with a Vehement Desire Change and a CLEARING of Wrong Doing. It’s NOT a mere confession of sinfulness or repeat after me prayer. (You won’t find that anywhere in the testimony of the Prophets.) Real Repentance results in Purity of heart. No one is ‘Saved’ in Sin. When the Lord spoke of Repentance He included this Departure from Sin. As happened in Nineveh under Jonah’s preaching….the People Stopped Sinning and sought the Lord! But such Cities as rejected the Preaching of John and the mighty Works of Christ, He pronounced Doom. Comparing them with the past wicked cities of Tyre and Sidon who did not have the opportunity to hear the preaching of John.

Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Matt11:21

The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. Matt12:41

So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish? Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it. Jonah3;1-10

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 2Cor7:10-11
We are told explicitly to Heed the Word of the Prophets. (2Pet1:19-21) But Professed Christianity ignores them and Preaches ‘Another’ Gospel based on the Doctrines of men. The Religious System has not Changed since the days of Christ. He encountered an entrenched and dogmatic Hierarchy who refused to yield. They were the ‘Children of Abraham!’ as YOU are the Product of the ‘Reformation’ Neither WALKS in the Steps of Faith or Performs the Deeds of Faith, but they
occupy the seats of Authority. (and always have) They represent the Greatest obstacle to God’s Truth on Earth.

Do not Prophesy to us right things. Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits! Isa30:10

Do Not be Afraid of their faces. For I AM with you to deliver you, says the Lord. (Jer1:8) The fear of man is a snare and a sure fire way to distort the Truth. The Pastors today are frightened out of their wits that anything they say may cause an offense. They are dismayed by the Faces of the people because the Lord is NOT with them! Therefore they Preach Smooth words and Soft things and make Great Swelling promises based on fallacy.

Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD. Jer1:8

And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house. Ezk2:6

Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads. Ezk3:8

When you expose sin the faces of the people will appear as though they want to swallow you down whole! They will believe in their hearts that you hate them and you will instantly become their enemy. But whether they hear or refuse to heed is of no effect on you. They are rebellious and unyielding in their delusion. If they would hear you, they would Obey God! They will be Judged according to their ways. Your job is to warn the Righteous and the Wicked that sin will destroy them. Do Not fear them, but fear only God who can Cast body and Soul into hell.

Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.” Ezk3:9

You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. Ezk2:7

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of

Israel

; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: Ezk3:17

Remember the impudent occupy the seats of authority. The Prophets stand aloof and challenge their false gods and lying Doctrines. The Strongest temptation is always, ‘If you can’t beat them Join them!” Many have been lost to the System who could not endure the shame and isolation of renouncing the false Church. But if you have received His Word into your heart, it will burn with an intensity you cannot resist, Deep inside your bones. You Must Speak!

Moreover He said to me: “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears. Ezk3:10

“LORD, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life Rom9:3

Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name.” But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not. Jer19:9

Standing in the Gap is always Costly. Even close friends and loved ones will forsake you. False brethren will try to bring you down. You’ll be miss-understood and spoken of as an evil doer. But your Vindication is in the Lord, He is the final Judge. His Word will live forever and those who Serve Him faithful to the end will enter His Kingdom in Glory.

Wolves: Examining the Spirit of Error within the Churches of today

2011-06-04T21:10:00.000-04:00

"IF ANYONE Comes to you and DOES NOT bring THIS DOCTRINE (the doctrine that is according to godliness, 1Tim6:5) DO NOT receive him into your house nor greet him, for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds!" 2John 10-11

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits!" Matt7:15

Fallacies of the Present Day Church

(IMPORTANT: Click the Link above for more Info)

The System is overrun with an ARMY of False Teachers (too many to count and/or refute) leading Millions into the Spirit of Error. They use the Scriptures to teach a Pagan Doctrine derived out of third Century Rome! Dubbed: 'Reformed Theology' ..... This includes a very slick, and sophisticated version of Satisfaction Doctrine based on a Substitution theory developed by a Catholic Bishop over a thousand years ago!

The Modern version dates from the Reformation (1500-1800) and is based on a Moral Transfer, Pre-forgiveness of Sin, Rewards issue and Eternal Security. (all explained with great detail on this blog AND here)

To Various degrees of influence this form of False Doctrine is Preached and Taught Worldwide, inside the System of Churches, Seminaries, Bible Colleges, publishing houses and dominates the airwaves.

Many further confuse the issue by Mixing the theories and introducing partial quotes of early church fathers without actually examining the facts and properly disseminating it against the Word of God.

Thus the spirit of error runs rampant throughout the System and more un-discerning victims fall pray to the Swelling Words of emptiness and follow these teachers down the Wide Road to Destruction. It is our sincere desire to shine the Light of Truth into this Darkness and wake you up before it's too late.

You will be Shocked to find Many of your Favorite and Famous Teachers on this list. Perhaps even your own Pastors and Church Leaders! But the Truth is not always Pleasant. Often times it Cuts you to the heart! Therefore DON'T Say that you can SEE, if the Light in you is Really Darkness....then How GREAT is that Darkness! SO:

AWAKE to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. 1Cor15:34

Remember: 'WIDE is the Gate & Broad is the Way that Leads to Destruction, and MANY Go in by it!' Matt7:13

How to recognize a Savage Wolf:
1) They are 'Known by their Fruits', Matt7:15-20 (Rotten Fruit!)
2) They Preach themselves! Their entire ministry revolves around self-promotion.
3) They handle the Word of God deceitfully with much craftiness. 2Cor4:2-3
4) They Peddle the Word of God for money. 2Cor2:17, 1Tim6:5
5) They reject the Doctrine that is according to godliness. 1Tim6:1-5
6) They will exploit you with great swelling words of emptiness & Promise you Liberty in your sins! 2Pet2:1-3, 18-19
7) With flattering speech they will deceive the hearts of the new convert! Rom16:18
8) Summary of License to Sin teaching

John Piper  :

John Stephen Piper (born January 11, 1946) is an evangelical Calvinist Christian Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is the author of numerous books. His theology is strictly Calvinist adopted from the Reformation, NOT the Apostles! He believes in double predestination, which includes "unconditional reprobation" as a corollary to the Calvinistic doctrine of unconditional election, Thus Man does not posses Free Will or Ability to Repent and turn from his sins unless God has so elected him to do so. He teaches justification by faith alone apart from works, and perseverance of the Saints, (eternal Security) His Errors are legion and far to many to enumerate. We have a Number of Audios Comparing his teaching with the Bible and pointing out the blatant contradictions in his theology. Basically he (like many others) Preaches a Sinning Gospel, covered by a mountain of fluff. However he is very slick, well polished, professional and has the persona of a Lamb. preacher and author, currently serving as Pastor for Preaching and Vision of  

Erwin Lutzer:

Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer (born October 3, 1941) is an evangelical Christian pastor, teacher and author. He is currently the senior pastor of Moody Church, in Chicago, Illinois. He loves to place a great empathizes on infants being born into sin, comparing them to Hitler, separated only by circumstances. His theology builds on this false notion and creates another ear tickling message that God declares you righteous while you remain in your sins. He often teams up with Ankerberg on their TV Show in a question / answer format to spread the lie. He has been Pastor of Moody Church since 1980.     

John Ankerberg:
John Ankerberg (born December 10, 1945 in Chicago) is an ordained minister and the author or co-author of 87 books, primarily through Harvest House Publishers. He also produces and hosts his own nationally-syndicated Christian television talk show, The John Ankerberg Show. He is instrumental in the Promise Keepers rallies that cater to 'addicted' Christians in bondage to pornography, lust and various other vices. Proving that birds of a feather flock together the promise keeper movement involves a wide range of evangelical ministers from the Main Stream.....Including: Max Lucado. The movement itself is based solely on Reformed theology and has NOTHING to do with Real Repentance or breaking the bondage of sin. They have been charged with serious infractions against the Holy Character of Jesus Christ that many would call Blasphemy. Many unsuspecting victims have been drawn into their hype only to be further deceived by the lies they put forth.   

John MacArthur:

John Fullerton MacArthur, Jr. (born June 19, 1939) is a United States evangelical writer and minister noted for his radio program entitled Grace to You. MacArthur is a popular author and conference speaker and has served as the pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California since 1969, and as the president of The Master's College (and the related The Master's Seminary) in Santa Clarita, California. He holds to Reformed theology but is not a traditional Calvinist in the strictest since. He mixes theologies and covers himself with a great deal of contradictory rhetoric. At one moment it will sound as though he is promoting obedience and righteous living and then he will promote Carnal Christianity. He agues for 'Lord-Ship' Salvation (meaning Jesus must be accepted as Savior and Lord of your life) but ignores Repentance Proven by Deeds. (Acts26:19-20) His opinions often put him at odds with other ministries. But bottom line he teaches Penal Substitution, Moral Transfer and Eternal Security, although he may cloak his doctrine with high sounding words of fluff.   

Richard Warmack :

Pastor Richard Warmack 2808 North Trenton Ruston LA, Grace Baptist Church. A typical independent, 'sovereign grace' fellowship established October of 1987. Warmack teaches the Five Tenets of Calvinism, the 'TULIP' He proudly proclaims that the Elect are Not Condemnable, although they sin grievously and that Christ's Righteousness and Obedience is transferred to them by faith alone. Under his teaching man is unable to access his free will unless God has so ordained from the foundation of the world. He has very little patience with dissenters and typifies these type of 'Baptist' preachers throughout the South.  

Ray Comfort:

Ray Comfort is a New Zealand born Christian minister and evangelist. Comfort started Living Waters Publications and The Way of the Master in Bellflower, California and has written a number of books. Comfort's claim to fame is 'Hell's Best Kept Secret', in which he believes preaching the law as basic evangelism will bring about real conversion. If a person is effectively shown they have broken God's Holy Law and that Christ is the remedy it will persuade them to 'receive' Jesus as their personal Savior. However, with all the fluff removed, Comfort is pushing the exact same message as everyone else.  

Rick Warren:

Richard Duane "Rick" Warren (born January 28, 1954) is an American evangelical Christian minister and author.

He helped start The Resurgence, a repository of missional theology resources. This guy is Vile beyond Vile! Take a look at his web site and get ready to vomit. He promotes open carnality, worldly music, profanity and much, much more. He proudly promotes sinful behavior in so-called believers and applauds disobedience. You should avoid this ministry like the spiritual 'Bubonic' Plague. It is of Satan and controlled by Demons!

Greg Laurie:
 Greg Laurie (born 10 December 1952) serves as the Senior Pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California. He became a Christian under the ministry of Pentecostal evangelist Lonnie Frisbee. Then, at the age of 19, he had the opportunity to lead a Bible-study of 30 people originally started by Frisbee at All Saints Episcopal Church in Riverside, CA. The church that formed from this group has grown to become one of the largest churches in the United States. He teaches essentially the same thing as all the others, based on Reformed theology, and expands the lie worldwide with his books, telecasts and Harvest Crusades.

Ed Young: 

Ed Young is the founding and Senior Pastor of Fellowship Church. The church has its main campus just north of the DFW Airport and operates three satellite campuses in the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area and one in Miami, Florida. This guy is the Spirit of Error personified! He has bewitched Millions of young people with his soft-sell approach to the Gospel. They buy into his lies because it cuddles their flesh and gives them the perfect excuse for sin. Young's catch phrases are legion. He loves to call himself the 'Supersonic' Sinner, a Liar, the Chief of Sinners and Roman's Wretch. He uses tasteless language on stage and tells offense Jokes with sexual innuendoes. Of course the people love it! He has went as far as to promote a theme of 'sexual' relations with your spouse, LIVE on stage with his wife, making silly remarks and jesters while setting on a King size bed! Young could very well be one of the Main-Stream Anti-Christ's of our Century marching thousands of our young people down the Wide Road to Destruction.

Other well known title are More than a Carpenter, A Ready Defense and Right and Wrong He was instrumental in the 1960's Campus Crusade for Christ that promoted the Cheap and Easy Evangelism of 'Receive' Jesus, that STILL effects College Compasses today immersed in debauchery and claiming to be 'Saved' in their sins!    

Joel Osteen:

Joel Osteen (born March 5, 1963) is an American author and the senior pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. His ministry reaches over seven million broadcast media viewers weekly in over 100 nations around the world. Truly a Wolf among wolves! Osteen is a Charlatan extraordinaire, teaching the Prosperity Gospel, making godliness into gain. He is an expert at exploitation and selling a Positive image to the people. It has Nothing to do with Preaching the Gospel of Repentance and Faith, but it lines his pockets with a lot of Green! His mass appeal is to the Biblical illiterate who think God is some kind of Cosmic slot machine anxious to pay off.  

Paul David Washer:

(born 1961) is Director of the HeartCry Missionary Society that supports indigenous missionary work. He is also a Southern Baptist itinerant preacher. Washer's sermons tend to have a particular focus on the Gospel and the doctrine of Assurance of salvation, and he frequently speaks out against practices such as Altar calls, the Sinner's prayer, and church growth. Washer has cited George Muller, John Piper, Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon, Leonard Ravenhill, John Wesley, A.W. Tozer and Martyn Lloyd-Jones among others, as influences. He has frequently appeared on Christian radio and television discussing the Gospel. Washer became a Christian while studying to become an oil and gas lawyer at the University of Texas. Upon graduation, he attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and achieved a Master of Divinity degree. He then moved to Peru to become a missionary for 10 years, after which he returned to the United States. Today, Washer resides in Radford, Virginia, where he lives with his wife and three children. Washer is a very deceptive Wolf and loves to Twist the Scriptures to prove his lies.

Ligonier Ministries hosts several theological conferences each year, including the main conference held each year in Orlando, Florida, at which Sproul is one of the primary speakers. Sproul is a long time deceiver and well known in reformed circles. His teaching is guaranteed to keep you bondage to your sins and convince you God is pleased with such an arrangement.

Famous False Teachers of the Past:

(IMPORTANT: Click on Links below to Listen and read quotes)

Harry Ironside:

Henry Allen "Harry" Ironside (October 14, 1876-January 15, 1951) was a Canadian-American Bible teacher, preacher, pastor, and author in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was influential in popularizing dispensationalism among Protestants in North America, much like Cyrus Scofield. His theological views were strictly reformed and remain in circulation today in many books and commentaries.

DL Moody:
Dwight Lyman Moody (February 5, 1837 - December 22, 1899), also known as D.L. Moody, was an American evangelist and publisher who founded the Moody Church, Northfield School and Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts (now Northfield Mount Hermon School), the Moody Bible Institute and Moody Publishers. Moody was outspoken and dynamic, people flocked to hear him. But he preached the same Redemption Model as his peers. The Message tickled ears far and wide and brought thousands into a false relationship with Christianity. Unfortunately his influence is still felt today at the famous Moody Church in Chicago and the Bible Institute he founded. Although he would be appalled at the lukewarm complicacy griping the main stream churches of our day, he would still fail to understand how his own message contributed to the mess. Moody was a Calvinist, Reformed and preached the classic Doctrines of Substitution, Moral Transfer, pre-forgiveness of sins and eternal security.

Amazing Quote from Dr DG Barnhouse:  

Donald Grey Barnhouse Th.D (March 28, 1895 – November 5, 1960), was an American Christian preacher, pastor, theologian, radio pioneer, and writer. Barnhouse pastored the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1927 until his death in 1960. He was a pioneer in preaching over the radio on a program known as "The Bible Study Hour".[1] Today, the program continues to air and is entitled "Dr. Barnhouse & the Bible". In 1949, his program began a weekly study of the Book of Romans, which lasted until his death. He also wrote many articles and books. Barnhouse was a full fledged Calvinist. His Model of Redemption is based on Substitution and Moral Transfer. Many of his views were truly outrageous. Click on his name and read for yourself. He has Ananias and Sapphira, saved and even Judas! He may as well have been a Universalistic with such opinions.

John Calvin:

John Calvin (Middle French: Jean Cauvin; 10 July 1509 – 27 May 1564) was an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism. Originally trained as a humanist lawyer, he broke from the Roman Catholic Church around 1530. After religious tensions provoked a violent uprising against Protestants in France, Calvin fled to Basel, Switzerland, where he published the first edition of his seminal work Institutes of the Christian Religion in 1536.
Calvin was influenced by the Augustinian tradition, which led him to expound the doctrine of predestination and the absolute sovereignty of God in salvation of the human soul from death and eternal damnation. His work codified what later would be called 'Calvinism' and adopted to some extent by thousands of false teachers after him. He had no patience with retractors and ruled Geneva with an iron fist. Michael Servetus, a Spaniard who opposed him was deemed a heretic by Calvin and Burned at the Stake! He also participated in other executions and even torture. Calvin was anything but a Christian! It's Sad that his theology is upheld in our higher institutions to this day. The man was a despot and criminal and should be exposed as such.

Martin Luther:
10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German priest and professor of theology who initiated the Protestant Reformation. He was a dedicated Augustinian Monk and believed that the Catholic church had drifted too far from the original intent of Augustine's teachings. Although he opposed the indulgences of the Catholic church in his 95 Thesis, he held to many heretical views that brought about severe persecutions and even torture of various groups. Such as the Anabaptists and Jews. He was so much opposed to Justification being associated with any Works of Righteousness that he dubbed the Book of James, the 'Epistle of Straw!' To him Election of God was absolute and Man was void of Free Will. Like Most of the so-called Reformers, he was totally deceived in his understanding of the Bible, but managed to influence his own and future generations with Doctrines of Demons that have seared millions to this day. Exposing his legion of errors would fill pages on this Blog.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon:

Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 – January 31, 1892) was a British Particular Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church in his day. With his golden voice he deceived millions preaching the Gospel of Sin. He was an outspoken Calvinist and severely criticized anyone who strayed from Reformed Doctrine.

Understanding the Reformed Faith's Grace Message

Discerning the Augustinian Concept of Grace

Conclusion

Natural sin, Substitution, Moral Transfer, Imputed Righteousness and Eternal security are NOT taught in the Bible, nor were they entertained by the Pre-Augustinian writers of the Christian Faith. At best, these Notions are based on pure Conjecture. Study the record and discover that each of these tenets were INVENTED at some Point in History LONG after the Early Church passed away. Most of the Fallacies can be traced directly back to Pagan Teachings derived out of ancient Rome. All this can easily be confirmed by Study of historical Documents available on line with a close Comparison of Bible Scripture.

For those of you who are unaware, the Early Christians emphatically Taught and Believed that Jesus was a Teacher of Righteousness by Example. Sound Doctrine meant Godly Living here and now. Jesus Death on the Cross was Not only a fulfillment of Prophesy, but in theory a Ransom aimed at Rescuing man from the Corrupting influence of sin. Faith Purified the heart by Obedience to the Truth and Repentance meant you STOP Sinning Before the Holy Spirit could indwell. Judgment was according to Deeds done in the Body and Both Repentance & Faith were PROVEN by Deeds.

You Should Rule Over it!

2011-05-30T21:41:00.001-04:00

If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” Gen 4:7

You should rule over it! God’s decree to the FREE WILL of man, ‘Sin shall not have dominion over you!’ Unless you CHOOSE to follow its deadly path. However according to the Vast Majority of Present Day preachers, you CAN’T rule over it because it RULES over you! Your very Nature is corrupted, inherited from Adam! You have no Choice in the matter. You were BORN a sinner by nature.

This horrible Doctrine is preeminent throughout the church world. To challenge it is equal to heresy in the highest order! Nearly everyone assumes it to be written in stone by the hand of God Himself. What better excuse for sin could anyone invent, than being BORN sinful? Not only has this Doctrine nullified the Preaching of Repentance and Obedience by Faith, but also serves as the PERFECT evasion for DOING ANYTHING God has Commanded in His Word!

How can a Pastor who believes this non-sense speak boldly against sinful behavior or demand Purity of heart in his converts? The people were born addicted to drugs, alcohol, immorality and vile passions. How could he possibly convey a ‘Conviction’ of sin, leading to godly sorrow and Repentance, when their sin is not a CRIME against a Holy God, but something they have no control over? WHO would accuse themselves of sin and forsake it with Zealousness, under such delusion?

It’s no great mystery therefore why our churches are overflowing with carnality, lust and worldliness. Why no one seems to get too far past ‘Receiving Christ’ and joining the club. The Doctrine has excused every form of sinful behavior and embraced every excuse for the sin. Converts are persuaded to ‘Come as they are’ and receive forgiveness by Grace. God is not concerned about their sinfulness, He will clean them up later, as you allow His Spirit to Work. Thus people come into the faith still in BONDAGE to their sin! Their hearts are not Purged and Cleansed by faith, there was no season of godly sorrow and crisis of Conviction. HOW could there be any CLEARING of the sin!?

STOPPING the sin is Absolutely one hundred percent IMPOSSIBLE under this teaching! The sin will NEVER Stop! (every pastor affirms this!) How can it? You were BORN a sinner and REMAIN sinful! The best you can hope is that God may be able to ‘Sanctify’ the carnality out of you by degree, but until then, He will have to COVER you by His Grace. Consequently the vast majority of the Evangelical church today lines up on the imputed righteous, eternal security side of doctrinal teaching rather then a gradual obedience leading to some form of holiness.

This teaching serves as the silent opium of the masses in keeping them convinced that God has designed the Gospel Message especially to accommodate their ‘sinful’ Condition. No one has to attend church and worry about being exposed for bad behavior. Even the pastors admit to their ‘humanness’ and failings making for a comfortable environment. Who could approach the Gospel with any Urgency against sin and the desperate need for people to repent if they wholeheartedly ‘believe’ that men are born with a diseased nature they have no control over?

The inevitable outcome of such a Message is seen in present day evangelism where people respond in droves to ‘Receive’ a Jesus who makes no Demands or requires any Conditions. They merely believe that He Obeyed the Father, lived a sinless life, died and rose again, all to Freely Justify them in their wretched Condition because they are powerless to follow or Obey. Seldom (if at all) is anyone convicted of a particular sin or the least bit concerned that such behavior will disqualify them from the Kingdom. The Message is always soft peddled and cushioned in a manner fitting their ‘sinful’ nature, it is NEVER designed to Pierce their hearts and bring them to their knees! Some may indeed experience worldly sorrow for the consequences of their actions. But any actual and lasting reform can only come with the Genuine sorrow of God and a True Repentance that forsakes the sin and then BURNS with a ZEAL to Clear oneself of the wrong doing and Please a Holy God.

But how could any of this happen if you are a ‘Born Sinner’ SOLD under the power of sin?

Have you ever done any serious investigation into this awful Doctrine? Do you know from who and where it originated? Most of you in the church today just accept it without question, as you do everything else. But if you REALLY knew what was behind it and where it came from, would it make any difference how you present the Gospel? Presently it is casting a grim pale on how you are ‘supposedly’ bringing people into the faith. If exposed as false, could you abandon it as your chief excuse?

To Begin here’s Short List of Some who line up on the side of Original Sin Doctrine:

1) Jehovah’s Witness

2) Mormons or LDS Church

3) Unification Church

4) Sigmund Freud

5) Calvinists

The Doctrine itself Originated with Augustine of Hippo (354-430AD) a Catholic Bishop, from North Africa. He concluded that infants would go to hell because of ‘original sin’ if not Baptized by the church. Augustine was deeply influenced by the Gnostic teaching of his day that advocated among other things, that all matter is inherently evil. Because of this view, they also taught that Christ's bodily manifestations were only apparent, and that he did not actually come in the flesh. They denied the real incarnation of Christ, as well as his bodily resurrection, because of their view of the essentially evil nature of all matter.

Also because he taught a twisted view of the union between a husband and wife that involved lust in their conception, he invented the origins of the Catholic Doctrine of ‘Immaculate Conception’ (whereby Mary was conceived in the same Miraculous manner as Christ by the Holy Spirit!) Therefore she could bare the Christ Child, without the stain of original sin.

From his teaching originated absolute and unconditional predestination and election, irresistible grace, complete bondage of the will (a necessitated will man is free only to do evil), and natural inability to obey God. He taught that all mankind sinned in Adam when he sinned and is condemned with him. Men are born sinners now and are completely unable to obey God or do anything good. The Bases of ALL Calvinist Doctrine in the Present day church.

As you can see from the Historical Evidence, MANY of the Doctrines held by the reformers originated with Augustine and the Gnostics. (which places their roots in heathenism!) Moreover it’s VERY Interesting to note that the Jewish Rabbis DID NOT teach that man was born a sinner or inherited anything from Adam’s fall. Rather they taught that people were born innocent, FREE to choose right or wrong at the age of accountability. (in light of this fact, it’s strange that most of the so-called ‘Proof’ text for the sin nature come out of Old Testament Scripture – hence, the Jewish Bible!)

Historically Prior to the Council of Nicea 325AD, NONE of these outrageous Doctrines can be found except among the Gnostics and those influenced by them. You can easily find in many of early Christian writings statements that Babies are Born Innocent and man is free to choose right or wrong! It’s astonishing that the so-called Reformers almost entirely adopted these heresies as Doctrine. By the time of Martin Luther and John Calvin (1500’s) most of these false Doctrines were written into Church Creed and setting the tone for evangelism over the next four hundred years!

The Westminster Confession of Faith, 1646, is probably the most well known of these Creeds still in use today. Adopted largely by the Church of England it set the tone for Wesleyan style preaching (or the holiness movement) into the twentieth century. Article Six of the Confession affirms the existence of the sinful state into which we are born. Observe that it renders Obedience to God an impossibility ‘BEFORE’ Regeneration and Divides Sin into TWO Separate Categories: ‘Original and Actual’ .

In so doing because of the Original sin man cannot properly forsake any of his sins preceding his regeneration. Therefore he MUST be Saved ‘in his sins’ and WAIT for God to CHANGE him! This teaching has ultimately lead to the demise of Repentance since the sin can never really stop, even in rebirth. The convert is told that his nature remains corrupted and his heart divided. His best efforts remain tainted by the stain of sin still within him. Therefore sin is the ultimate outcome of everything he does!

Westminster Confession of Faith, Article VI:

II. By this sin they fell from their original righteousness and communion with God, and so became dead in sin, and wholly defiled in all the parts and faculties of soul and body.

III. They being the root of all mankind, the guilt of this sin was imputed; and the same death in sin, and corrupted nature, conveyed to all their posterity descending from them by ordinary generation.

IV. From this original corruption, whereby we are utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite to all good, and wholly inclined to all evil, do proceed all actual transgressions.

V. This corruption of nature, during this life, doth remain in those that are regenerated; and although it be, through Christ, pardoned, and mortified; yet both itself, and all the motions thereof, are truly and properly sin.

VI. Every sin, both original and actual, being a transgression of the righteous law of God, and contrary thereunto, doth, in its own nature, bring guilt upon the sinner, whereby he is bound over to the wrath of God, and curse of the law, and so made subject to death, with all miseries spiritual, temporal, and eternal.

If Sin is the Foregone Conclusion throughout the Christian experience (as is being taught everywhere!) WHERE Does DOING the Right thing come in? The answer is: ‘IT DOESN'T!’ Man is either ‘Imputed’ Righteous by the Transfer of Christ’s Righteousness to his account or ‘Sanctified’ Righteous through a progression of putting the old man to death. In either case, the Sin NEVER Stops (as affirmed by every pastor you speak to) and God has to regard you as ‘Positionally’ holy and pure.

Envision the effect this Doctrine has had on our society as a whole. Even the holiness preachers of 200 years ago, who held this Doctrine, were deeply effected by it. Although you can find that many of them preached hard against sinful conduct and put the fear of God into people’s hearts and minds, they STILL would not say that the sin has to STOP in the process of Repentance! They would go as far as to insist that the Heart, Mind, Inclinations and Conduct must change, but they ALL Affirmed that the ‘STAIN’ of sin remained in the Convert, because of his corrupted nature.

Thus the drug out explanations why men remained ‘Double-minded’ and ‘Divided’ in heart even after Conversion and the painstaking attempts to ‘forbid’ overt sins while at the same time making room for the ‘sinful nature.’ Of course, Full Sanctification was the solution in their view, if the person after having the eyes of their understanding open sufficiently by the Spirit, sees his ‘sinful’ state exposed in the light, he will then consecrate his heart completely to Christ and have it washed clean by Faith, purged of the last remnants of sin inside.

However, this sounds ‘suspiciously’ like the REPENTANCE described in 2Cor7:10-11. Where the Process resulted in: ‘Clearing, Zeal, Vindication and Fear’ with PURITY in the finality. Perhaps this so-called, ‘Second’ act of Grace or (Sanctification) was really the New Birth taking place in real Repentance. (Much like happened in the Book of Acts) Where it is constantly affirmed that the Process, ‘Repentance then Holy Spirit given’ resulted in Purity of heart by faith! (See Acts15:9)

What hinders this Process from taking place in Repentance, then and now? The Sinful Nature Doctrine! As long as you remain ‘sinful’ (even though you’re an admitted sinner, supposedly forgiven in Christ) there is NO CHANCE of ever Repenting as Paul described in the Bible. Consequently without Repentance (or repentance in the proper sense) there is also NO POSSIBILITY of being forgiven of your sin! Isa 55:7 “Let the wicked FORSAKE his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”

This Doctrine removes all responsibility from the sinner and places everything on God Himself! Naturally most preachers would fear actually saying that God is the Author of sin, but it is CERTAINLY Strongly implied in this Doctrine! How could anyone deny that? Where did the sin come from? The Bible Affirms that God Created man in ‘HIS OWN Image’ “Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have ought out many schemes.” Ecc7:29. “

The sin was his own doing. Even Cain has the opportunity to DO what was Right. “You should RULE over it!” God told him. Accordingly isn’t this simply what James has said about sin in his Epistle?

“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 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.” James1:13-15

Wouldn’t it make more sense that as men we have ‘similar’ desires developed by the process of maturity? Rather than a ‘Nature’ inherited genetically from Adam! How is a ‘Nature’ passed from one generation to another? In the blood? In the spirit? (thus the bases of cultish Doctrine!)

”Why should the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ Because the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes and observed them, he shall surely live. The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.” Ezk18:19-20

Consider that MOST of the so-called Christian world today is in line with the ‘imputed’ Righteous side of Doctrine. WHY? Because it FITS so easily into the sin nature teaching! You can be Declared Righteous while still sinful by merely ‘Trusting’ that Jesus Obeyed for you. It’s the PERFECT Cover! God no longer holds you accountable for your sinful nature (which you can’t control anyway) because He has made allowance for it on the Cross. The sin is PAID for in ADVANCE. NOW Nothing you DO can affect the Outcome of your Salvation. (that is an arrangement made 2000 years ago between God and Jesus for all time, in which you are trusting.)

It’s no longer, ‘The Soul that sins shall die!” BUT: ‘You shall surly NOT Die!’ The Exact Same LIE Satan used in the Garden on Eve that distracted her from the simplicity of God’s Truth. (2Cor11:3-4) The ‘DIFFERENT’ Gospel referred to in this passage is Certainly the one that turns the Grace of God into License for immorality! (Jude3-4) What better method to corrupt the entire Message than to remove the very underpinnings of Biblical Repentance!

If man is incapable of Repenting and forsaking his sin as a Crime against God, he MUST conclude that God is going to SAVE him as he is! Because the sin is inbred Sympathy is extended, not CONVICTION. The Preacher himself feels sorry for the sinner, as anyone would someone afflicted with a deadly disease. He handles the situation with ‘kid gloves’ (so to speak) and gently encourages the poor wretch to ‘confess’ his sinful state and ‘Receive’ Jesus into his heart!

Therefore NO ONE ever actually Repents of their sin. They continue in Bondage under the impression that the Holy Spirit is going to help them CHANGE their desires and eventually do what is right. However the entire Premise is in error because of the ‘assumption’ that man is born a sinner powerless to repent or obey God from his heart. The Gospel is turned on its head! God becomes a Tyrant by demanding that man Repent of something he inherited from Adam and WORSE than that, He Decrees that this SAME Sin will send the soul to eternal Perdition if not repented of! (which is exactly affirmed in the Westminster Confession of faith!)

The entire system is based on a Fallacy, Standing on the false premise of ‘reformed doctrine’. The Historical evidence refuting it is overwhelming. The Early Fathers rejected it, the Jewish Rabbis never taught it and NOTHING in the Bible Supports it. Yet the so-called Christian Evangelical world has embraced it with open arms and marched straight down the Wide Road to Destruction preaching it.

Does ANYONE have the Moral Courage to Re-think this Doctrine and Examine the Evidence? Most of you are Standing on shifting sands in blissful ignorance. But consider what’s at stake here.

It’s not our purpose in this article to present an exhaustive study of this issue, but to give you a through overview to consider the fallacy of this Doctrine. Others have dwelled more deeply into this subject and written some fine material that you can easily find by searching the Web. Our purpose is to give you a foundation of evidence, historical and Bilabial so you can further study the issue and come to a Proper Conclusion of the Truth apart from your ‘beloved’ Doctrines.

Initially let’s look at a few quotes from the Pre-Nicene Fathers. These are generally the Disciples of the Apostles. (Taught exclusively by word of Mouth from men like: Paul, Peter, John, James, etc)

Quote: But the other round stones, which had not yet been adapted to the building of the tower, and had not yet received the seal, were for this reason put back into their place, because they are exceedingly round. Now this age must be cut down in these things, and in the vanities of their riches, and then they will meet in the kingdom of God; for they must of necessity enter into the kingdom of God, because the Lord has blessed this innocent race. Of this race. therefore, no one will perish; for although any of them be tempted by the most wicked devil, and commit sin, he will quickly return to his Lord. I deem you happy, I, who am the messenger of repentance, whoever of you are innocent as children,

Quote: that the end of life may to you prove the beginning of salvation. You have become old in superstition; as young, enter on the practice of piety. God regards you as innocent children.

Quote: being spiritually regenerated as new-born babes, even as the Lord has declared: "Except a man be born again through water and the Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

QUOTE: “Do you, therefore, show me yourself, whether you are not an adulterer, or a fornicator, or a thief, or a robber, or a purloiner; whether you do not corrupt boys; whether you are not insolent, or a slanderer, or passionate, or envious, or proud, or supercilious; whether you are not a brawler, or covetous, or disobedient to parents; and whether you do not sell your children; for to those who do these things God is not manifest, unless they have first cleansed themselves from all impurity. All these things, then, involve you in darkness, as when a filmy defilement on the eyes prevents one from beholding the light of the sun: thus also do iniquities, man, involve you in darkness, so that you cannot see God. For the Lord says, "Ye are of your father the devil; and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it." But among the lies, the false prophets also told some true things."For he speaks some truths. For the devil fills him with his own spirit, if perchance he may be able to cast down any one from what is right."

Quote: “Also, is what in each case the end of all cries aloud. So that even in the case of one who has done the greatest good deeds in his life, but at the end has run headlong into wickedness, all his former pains are profitless to him, since at the catastrophe of the drama he has given up his part; while it is possible for the man who formerly led a bad and dissolute life, on afterwards repenting, to overcome in the time after repentance the evil conduct of a long time. But it needs great carefulness, just as bodies that have suffered by protracted disease need regimen and special attention. Thief, dost thou wish to get forgiveness? steal no more. Adulterer, burn no more. Fornicator, live for the future chastely. Thou who hast robbed, give back, and give back more than [thou tookest]. False witness, practice truth. Perjurer, swear no more, and extirpate the rest of the passions, wrath, lust, grief, fear; that thou mayest be found at the end to have previously in this world been reconciled to the adversary.”

Quote: “He bade the baptism of repentance lead the way, with the view of first preparing, by means of the sign and seal of repentance, them whom He was calling, through grace, to (inherit) the promise surely made to Abraham. John holds not his peace, saying, "Enter upon repentance, for now shall salvation approach the nations"--the Lord, that is, bringing salvation according to God's promise. To Him John, as His harbinger, directed the repentance (which he preached), whose province was the purging of men's minds ,that whatever defilement inveterate error had imparted, whatever contamination in the heart of man ignorance had engendered, that repentance should sweep and scrape away, and cast out of doors, and thus prepare the home of the heart, by making it clean, for the Holy Spirit, who was about to supervene, that He might with pleasure introduce Himself there-into, together with His celestial blessings. Of these blessings the title is briefly one the salvation of man--the abolition of former sins being the preliminary step.”

For further evidence simply pull up links on the early Fathers and search the Documents. Notice too their understanding of Repentance. Since man is NOT Born a sinner, incapable of Obeying God, Repentance is ‘Sweeping, Scraping, Casting out of doors’ ALL SIN, BEFORE the Holy Spirit can enter into a Clean vessel! NOTHING like what most of you are preaching today.

Couple this evidence with the Words of Jesus Himself in Three Gospels and you have undeniable truth that Children are NOT Born Sinners!

Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matt19:13-14 (Also See: Mark10:14, Luke18:16)

Scripture Testifies that Children are Born Morally Innocent, having done nothing good or evil. Wouldn’t something as serious as a ‘Depraved Nature’ be made CLEAR in the Bible? Yet the Opposite is shown!

for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), Rom9:11

Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good. For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings. Isa7:15-16

Moreover your little ones and your children, who you say will be victims, who today have no knowledge of good and evil, they shall go in there; to them I will give it, and they shall possess it. Deut1:39

(Also see: 2Kings21:16, 24:4, Joel 3:19, James4:17)

Also Scripture Makes Clear that Children do not inherit the guilt or sin of the parent: Deut 24:16, 2 Kings 14:6, 2 Chron25:4, Ezekiel 18:2-4, Ezekiel 18:19-20

The Evidence is overwhelming and you could easily stack up a great deal more with a little research of your own. Augustine was WRONG! The Reformers who followed him are WRONG. They have all been duped by Satan’s brilliant trap to render the Gospel ineffective to save anyone OUT of sin! Surly it took some time. The early reformers were not nearly as blatant in favor of sin as the Preachers and Pastors of today. But they laid the ground work for apostasy by NOT Refuting this LIE!

Imagine the effect it would have had on future generations had some of these men challenged this non-sense. If they had joined their voices and talents together to Refute this monster as many of them did Calvinism, Catholicism and Universalism. What a difference it would have made!

This LIE has directly effected how converts are brought into the Faith. The VERY Bases of Salvation! Most of you out there today THINK people are getting ‘saved’ in your churches by confessing their sinful state to God and ‘Receiving’ Jesus into their hearts. It’s of no Concern to any of you if they Come out of their sins, or STOP their vile behavior in Repentance. You are satisfied they are ‘Saved’ and God will clean them up later (somewhere down the road) as they allow Him. BUT if you could Recognize sin for what it IS and that men are WHOLLY Responsible for their Actions unto God, you would be Preaching Repentance with an Urgency unparalleled in history because our society is charging down the Road to hell faster than anyone could imagine in their WORST Nightmare!

Next let’s take a look at what the Jewish Rabbis have to say about Original Sin and Repentance. Why is their view significant to our discussion? (they being blinded to Christ and rejected) Mainly because Christianity Originated with the JEWS! The BASES of Christian teaching is in the Foundations of Judaism. (minus the traditions and ceremony which were shadows and types) The ROYAL Law, upheld by Faith, began under Moses and was passed down through the Holy Prophets to Jesus Himself! Therefore if the Old Testament shows PROOF Positive of this supposed ‘sin nature’ we are born with from Adam, it should be CLEARLY Evident in the teaching of Moses and the Prophets. Yet the Rabbis Refute it, then and now.

Here is a sample of Responses from Present Day Rabbis on the Subject:

The simple answer to your question is no, Judaism does not believe people are born as sinners. We believe that people are born with the ability to do good and bad and it is up to each person to overcome their bad tendencies and to do good with their life. There is no concept of original sin in Judaism. Learning about our religion, practicing our customs, learning and following the laws of the Torah (the Old Testament), and observing our holidays all help to guide us to good lives. I hope this answers your question. Rabbi

No, we are born free of sin, and have to work on ourselves to make sure not to sin, we are born just fine. I hope this helps. Rabbi

Judaism completely rejects the notion of original sin. According to Judaism, a child is born pure, completely free from sin. We pray daily "Oh G-d, the soul which you gave me is pure. You created it, you fashioned it, you breathed it into me."

Shalom, Rabbi Chaim

Our “Bible” is the same as what Christians call the Old Testament (though Christianity changed the order of the books.) But the short answer is, no. We do not believe in original sin. We believe people are born with the ability to choose between good and evil. We all mess up sometimes; that’s why there is repentance. But we don’t mess up because we are born sinful and in need of redemption. Rabbi Dan

No. We are born clean. We sin on our own. We are given free will. We choose good or bad.

Rabbi Art

No, man has the freedom to choose. Rabbi Yakov

Repentance is the stopping of a particular sin, and more. It is the conscious re-making of the soul, with God’s help, so that one no longer repeats the sin, even if one could do so without fear of getting caught. Rabbi Dan

Prayer makes atonement for sin—but only AFTER we make teshuvah, true repentance, which means changing our souls and our selves so that we do not continue to make the same errors.

Rabbi Dan

Concerning PS51:5 “I was shapen in Iniquity” The verse is translated to mean that in order to conceive a child with totally pure motivations without any lust attached one must be on a very high spiritual level, a level that most of us are not able to attain. Benjy Brackman, Rabbi - Executive Director

that refers to humans already sinned or near sin.... not born that way, Rabbi Mendel

It just means that we have tendencies that we need to overcome…….just like in Genesis 8:21 our evil inclination is from childbirth…see Rashi there.

In Hebrew that verse means "For I recognize my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
I don't know what your translation. but it is wrong. Rabbi Joseph Radinsky

Now we can launch into the Scriptures, dealing first with Old Testament Text that Evangelicals say support the notion of original sin. Notice our last Rabbi translating Ps51:5 for us from the Hebrew. The word, ‘Shapen’ is NOT in the Hebrew Text! It appears in the English Translators to show David acknowledging the sin of his mother, not his personal sin. Having followed her in down the path of immorality, he laments that his sin is ever before him, spreading itself also to his sons and family.

First understand what the Bible Calls Sin. 1John3:4, ‘Sin is Transgression of the law.’ In Scripture Responsibility is linked to ability and Accountability limited to Knowledge. Therefore sin cannot possibly be something immaterial, lacking substance and form. How can Virtue be passed from one generation to another? It Can’t. Just as Iniquity cannot be inherited or passed down from Adam!

If a sinner can only produce another sinner by nature, as they try to prove in Job14:1-4, 15:14, (‘Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean!’) Then it would stand to reason that as Saints, Cleansed and Purified by faith of all Carnality, we would be able to Produce another Saint.

Psalm58:3 is another Support Text they like to use. ‘The Wicked are estranged from the womb. They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies!’

If sin is Transgression the Law according to ones ‘knowledge’ of that law, HOW can an infant, who CANNOT yet SPEAK, tell lies? This Text is not to be understood in a literal sense, since it would defy reality. And it would Contradict many other passages that show children are born innocent and even FILLED with the Holy Spirit in the Womb! (Lk1:15)

Think about it. If Augustine was correct on original sin, then Babies are Born Depraved Sinners as Children of the Devil! (for the Bible testifies that sinners are children of Satan, Jh8:44, 1John3:8,10) Do you REALLY Believe that Children, of who Ps127:3 says, ‘Are an heritage of the Lord; and the fruit of the womb is his reward.’ Are children of the Devil!? Re-examine your Doctrines!

Job 15:14 Says: "What is man that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?" BUT this is not God Speaking, it’s the words of Eliphaz one of Job’s supposed comforters in his distress. Of Whom God said does not hold to Truth. (Job42:7) So again, it’s a stretch to use this passage to support the notion of original sin. (Like all the others)

Perhaps you can better understand now why the Rabbis never espoused this awful Doctrine. BECAUSE Nothing in their Bible Clearly and Concisely Supports it! In fact, man is shown time and again having Free will to Choose right or wrong and the ability to do so. Infants are said continually to be INNOCENT of sin! And God does not Change anyone with the sins of a previous generation.

We move forward into the New Testament. IF this Doctrine did indeed originate with Christianity, it should be Clearly shown somewhere in the testimony of Christ and writings of His Apostles. NOT by Conjecture or implication, but DIRECTLY Evident to anyone wanting to know.

Eph2:1-3:

And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

‘By Nature’ in this Text does not refer to something we were Born with. Again, that would make God a Tyrant. Creating us as Children of His Wrath! Outrageous. No. The Word simply means: ‘a mode of feeling and acting which by long habit has become nature.’ It is CLEARLY a Learned Response Paul is speaking of, Voluntary Wickedness! Fulfilling the lusts of our flesh and becoming separated from God as a result. Peter refers to this same Truth in 1Pet1:18, where he says you were redeemed from your aimless conduct RECEIVED by Tradition from your fathers! (not inherited in birth.)

It is also used in Rom2:14: "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law.” If this ‘Nature’ was Corrupted, as supposed, HOW could the Gentiles use the SAME Nature to KEEP the things contained in the law? Wouldn’t it stand to reason they would violate it instead because of this Nature?

Remember also that if this supposed Sin Nature is passed to us through our Genetics from Adam, then Christ Himself, being born of Mary (a depraved sinner) would then be infected! Thus as stated previously, the Catholics had to invent the Doctrine of ‘Immaculate Conception’ whereby Mary was born of the Holy Spirit like Christ to avoid the infection of original sin. (Pure heresy!) Otherwise the Gnostics have to be correct, that Christ was not actually ‘in the flesh’ but a Spirit manifested to us in some form or substance other than flesh. (which violates much of Scripture, ‘The Word became flesh!’)

The Whole concept of this sin nature dilemma is shattered by the fact that John the Baptist parents brought him into the world (in the usual manner) already FILLED with the Holy Spirit in the Womb! How could they be ‘depraved sinners’ and be chosen for such a task by God? Mary and Joseph were also found UPRIGHT in heart, pure before God and chosen to bring about the Birth of the Messiah.

(See: Lk1:6, 15, 28, 41) Therefore unless you have some sort of ‘explanation’ WHY Jesus was Free of a ‘sinful nature’ from Birth, you need to abandon this horrible Doctrine and start refuting it.

Now we deal with Rom5, the Stronghold of every theologian from Augustine to Luther and beyond. These passages seem to take precedence over all the others and by them, most of you have thrown Reason OUT the window! Because also everyone agrees that Paul is teaching that Adam’s sin infected his posterity, they also argue in favor of Romans 7 as the Normal Christian experience. That man is incapable of Right action, in bondage to his sin, wretched to the end and sold to his carnality. (Although you will find that some of the older holiness type preachers refute this, they still agree that Rom5 supports original sin.)

Rom. 5:12, 18, 19 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned...Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."

Does the Bible teach that men are "made righteous" involuntarily through Christ? Of Course not! That would be Universal Salvation of all mankind, a false heresy. Then WHY is the Reverse thought to be True? That men are ‘made sinners’ involuntarily through Adam? Rather sin entered the world through Adam, when he and Eve Transgressed and Death as a result passed to all men, ‘BECAUSE ALL SINNED!’ (Rom5:12) Many in fact did not Sin after the ‘likeness’ of Adam, (who Transgressed God’s Law) But sinned against Conscience, not knowing the law. (Rom2:14-15)

Therefore Nothing was Imputed to them from Adam other than a likeness of evil desires enticed by the lust of the flesh. The Message of Rom5 is one of the Redeeming Power of Christ to Rescue man FROM the Corrupting influence of his sin and restore him to the Image in which he was created, in Righteousness and True holiness! Man is NOT automatically made a sinner because of Adam’s transgression, no more than any of us are made drunks, or immoral wretches by the actions of our parents.

What is it that compels people into selfless acts of personal sacrifice? To run into burning buildings, expose themselves to deadly fire on the battlefield for their friends? To give up their life for a just cause? It’s not that these things can GAIN anyone eternal redemption, it can’t. (as 1Cor13 explains) BUT it is certainly extraordinary that supposed, ‘depraved sinners’ are capable of doing such things! Even the Bible testifies of this concept in mankind in Rom2:14. The Gentiles without Law, DO the things contained in the Law through Conscience accusing or excusing them! HOW, if they are Born Wholly Depraved, incapable of Right action until Born Again?

How could God Rightly Judge the World in Righteousness if He made all men sinners in Adam? He would have to Universally Condemn the heathen unless they embraced the Gospel message. Yet Rom2 explains that He is NO Respecter of persons and Judges each one according to his ‘Patient Continuance’ in DOING GOOD! Whether they have the Law or not. SO it’s according to the LIGHT received that holds man accountable to God. (which is the tone of ALL Scripture!)

The Sin Nature Doctrine is a Fallacy and needs Desperately to be discarded by the Church. It has caused more people to lose their souls in hell than anyone could measure. It is indeed, Satan’s Masterpiece!

In Summary we will look at the devastating effects this Doctrine has had on the Preaching of Repentance and Faith. Of course those who hold to it with iron clad resolve will not agree that their efforts are being spent in vain. That would mean the people converted under their ministries are in great jeopardy of being deceived! But as long as everyone is satisfied believing they are Born Sinners and can’t help but sin in thought, word and deed everyday for the remainder of their lives, then everyone’s a Christian. In it’s finality it teaches that No body is perfect and that it is God’s responsibility to Change them when He’s ready. (Thus converts are saved in their sins never OUT of them!)

Therefore First and Foremost, the Sin Nature Doctrine EXCUSES the Sinner!

1) It makes his Sin a Calamity instead of a Crime!

2) It makes God Responsible for the sin!

3) It creates double-minded, complacent professing Christians and breeds deception

4) It cause Ministers to excuse sin and not preach against immoral behavior

5) It Contradicts the Bible!

6) It Creates a HUGE Problem with Jesus being born of a woman into flesh

7) It Promotes other False Doctrines

8) It is absurd and unfounded, supported only by Conjecture and improvable!

The Purpose of this article has not been to prove that Real Christians are without sin in this world or that sinning is impossible after the New Birth takes place. But only that sin is NOT the foregone conclusion nor is it ‘inbred.’ Man is NOT Born a Sinner by Nature! That means he is Perfectly capable of Repentance toward God, PROVEN by DEEDS! (Acts20:21, 26:18-20) AND a Faith that OBEYS from the Heart and DOES what is RIGHT! He can INDEED STOP Sinning!

What you have done in the churches by embracing this Doctrine has compelled you to soft peddle the Gospel and treat the sinner with sympathy instead of conviction for his sin. This is why no one is actually repenting of anything. And the reason why no pastor we can find will say that the sin has to stop. Therefore it is universally preached that a person has to be Born Again BEFORE he has any chance of stopping his sin and as a result the churches are full of professing converts who are immoral, drunkards, lairs, adulterers, cheats, covetous, etc. ALL WAITING for the Holy Spirit to Clean them up somewhere down the road.

But the Whole Process is Backwards! Can you be forgiven of adultery while still committing adultery? Would a thief be forgiven who did not seek to clear himself of the wrong doing by making just restitution to his victims? Would a chronic lair ever be trusted to tell the truth if his heart wasn’t first made PURE through Repentance and faith? It’s unimaginable, according to Scripture, to suppose that God will forgive someone ‘IN’ their sins! NOTHING in the entire Bible could be more UNMISTAKABLE than the Wicked MUST forsake his wickedness, amend his ways and seek the Mercy of God! (Isa55:7, Ezk218:19-32)

As a final thought ask yourself the question: ‘Where did sin come from?’ If it’s inbred, inherited from Adam (as most of you believe) then the Devil has no role in tempting the believer into sin. The Roaring Lion seeking who he may devour is actually a toothless kitten! What purpose would there be for Satan and his minions to entice someone into wrong doing, if ‘Inherently’ they are depraved and can’t help but sin anyway? It would be ludicrous to blame him for your sin when you were born ‘speaking lies’ from the womb! The sin couldn’t possibly be his fault, but the old carnal nature of your flesh that refuses to be Sanctified out.

So Daily this preposterous Doctrine wrecks its havoc on the church and no one cares enough to examine the evidence pro or con. The pulpits are compromised and immoral behavior is rampant among Pastors and parishioners. Will anyone seek to RULE OVER IT as God has Decreed? Sin will always ‘lay’ at the door. Will it find you or will you conquer it?

Free Will

2011-05-30T21:26:00.001-04:00

If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” Gen 4:7

Scripture Affirms Man Born with Free Will:

1) God is NOT Responsible for man’s sin

2) He Does Not have to Over Power man’s will to make him believe

3) Man is capable of Right action and the Ability to Obey

4) Babies are Born Innocent

Effects of Sin Inherited from Adam:

1) God Directly Responsible for sin!

2) He MUST by Necessity Overpower man’s will if he is to believe

3) Man is incapable of Right action or Obedience

4) Babies are Born depraved

Therefore the Entire Scheme of Salvation by Faith is Changed: Under Free will man Must Repent and PROVE his repentance by his Deeds. His faith must WORK or OBEY, meeting the Conditions of Redemption, BEFORE Mercy Can be Granted. The Result is Purity of Heart, Zeal to Do Right and Full Vindication or (Justification)

Under the Sinful Nature Doctrine: Repentance is OUT the Window! No Conditions or Deeds are Necessary. God Provides the Grace to off-set your Depravity enough for you to believe, Accepts you in your sins, Fully Forgives and then COVERS your sin by either ‘Imputing’ the Righteousness of Christ or ‘Cleaning’ you up later.

Results:
1) Cannot Preach as to Convict of Sin

2) Gospel is Receive, Not Repent

3) No Redemption can take Place, because No Holy Spirit is Present to Convict.

4) Continued sin is not an issue, but foregone conclusion

5) No One can Say ANY sin will disqualify you from the Kingdom!

Origins of the Doctrine: Augustine (354-430AD)

1) N African Catholic Bishop of Roman Empire

2) Converted from Gnostic/ Manichaean Paganism

3) Originated the Doctrines behind: Unconditional Predestination, Election, Irresistible Grace and Total Depravity. (man completely unable to do anything right)

Note: When Christians first encountered Manichaeism, they deemed it a heresy, since it had originated in a heavily Gnostic area of the Persian Empire. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) converted to Christianity from Manichaeism, in the year 387. This was shortly after the Roman Emperor Theodosius I had issued a decree of death for Manichaeans (in 382 AD) and shortly before he declared Christianity to be the only legitimate religion for the Roman Empire (in 391). According to the Confessions of St. Augustine, after eight or nine years of adhering to the Manichaean faith (as a member of the Manichaean group of "hearers"), Augustine became a Christian

The Bases of Manichaeism/ Gnostic Teaching:

1) Denied the Real Incarnation & Bodily Resurrection of Christ

2) All Matter is Corrupted, therefore man’s Spirit is Pure but his Flesh is Vile

3) Man’s Dual Nature is effected by Darkness and Light, Influenced by one or other

4) Everything is Predetermined

Therefore History Proves that Augustine Converted to Christianity out of Necessity and Never really abandon his Pagan Doctrines.

The Time Line:

1) Apostolic Church, early Fathers Preached free will, Repentance and Faith

2) By 3^rd Century Rome was Gaining Pre-Eminence & Authority over Church

3) In 325AD Constantine ‘Converted’ Held Council of Nicea. Declared Christianity Roman Religion

4) So Began the Councils, Bishops, the Established Church, Gov Controls

5) By 417AD the Creeds were in Place, Roman Church in authority, Opposition put down and the Doctrines Defined for the Next 1000 years!

The Westminster Confession of Faith, 1646:

Our first parents, being seduced by the subtlety and temptation of Satan, sinned, in eating the forbidden fruit. This their sin, God was pleased, according to his wise and holy counsel, to permit, having purposed to order it to his own glory.
II. By this sin they fell from their original righteousness and communion with God, and so became dead in sin, and wholly defiled in all the parts and faculties of soul and body.

III. They being the root of all mankind, the guilt of this sin was imputed; and the same death in sin, and corrupted nature, conveyed to all their posterity descending from them by ordinary generation. IV. From this original corruption, whereby we are utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite to all good, and wholly inclined to all evil, do proceed all actual transgressions.

V. This corruption of nature, during this life, doth remain in those that are regenerated; and although it be, through Christ, pardoned, and mortified; yet both itself, and all the motions thereof, are truly and properly sin.

VI. Every sin, both original and actual, being a transgression of the righteous law of God, and contrary thereunto, doth, in its own nature, bring guilt upon the sinner, whereby he is bound over to the wrath of God, and curse of the law, and so made subject to death, with all miseries spiritual, temporal, and eternal.

The actual sins that men commit are the fruit of the corrupt nature transmitted to them by our first parents. By reason of this corruption, all men become wholly inclined to all evil; sin disables them. They are utterly indisposed to, and, indeed, rendered opposite to, all that is good.

Elect infants dying in infancy are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit, who works when and where and how He pleases. The same is true of all elect persons who are incapable of being outwardly called through the preaching of the gospel. Men who are not elected, even though they may be called upon to embrace salvation by the preachers of the gospel, and may be the subjects of some common operations of the Spirit, cannot be saved, because they are not effectually drawn to Christ by the Father, for which reason they neither can, nor will, truly come to Him. Much less can men who do not receive the Christian religion be saved, no matter how diligent they are to frame their lives according to the light of nature and the teachings of the religion which they follow.

The Stronghold of Support for Fallacy of Sinful Nature Doctrine:

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. PS51:5

The word, ‘Shapen’ is NOT in the Hebrew Text! It appears in the English Translators to show David acknowledging the sin of his mother, not his personal sin. Having followed her in down the path of immorality, he laments that his sin is ever before him, spreading itself also to his sons and family.

Job14:1-4, 15:14, ‘Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean”

Then it would stand to reason that as Saints, Cleansed and Purified by faith of all Carnality, we would be able to Produce another Saint.

Ps58:3 ‘The Wicked are estranged from the womb. They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies!’

Job 15:14 "What is man that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?"

BUT this is not God Speaking, it’s the words of Eliphaz one of Job’s supposed comforters in his distress. Of Whom God said does not hold to Truth. (Job42:7) So again, it’s a stretch to use this passage to support the notion of original sin. (Like all the others)

Nothing was Imputed to them from Adam other than a likeness of evil desires enticed by the lust of the flesh:“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 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.” James1:13-15

1) Rom 5 Is Discussing Redemption, not a sinful nature handed down from Adam

2) Main is Shown Doing Right things in Scripture

3) Rom2:14 shows the Gentiles (Heathens) Doing Right by their own Conscience!

4) Scripture affirms everywhere man is responsible for the Light he is given

Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have ought out many schemes.” Ecc7:29. “

Quote: that the end of life may to you prove the beginning of salvation. You have become old in superstition; as young, enter on the practice of piety. God regards you as innocent children.

Quote: being spiritually regenerated as new-born babes, even as the Lord has declared: "Except a man be born again through water and the Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), Rom9:11

Also see: 2Kings21:16, 24:4, Joel 3:19, James4:17

Also Scripture Makes Clear that Children do not inherit the guilt or sin of the parent: Deut 24:16, 2 Kings 14:6, 2 Chron25:4, Ezekiel 18:2-4, Ezekiel 18:19-20

Satan’s Master Piece! Man Born a sinner!

First and Foremost, the Sin Nature Doctrine EXCUSES the Sinner!

1) It makes his Sin a Calamity instead of a Crime!

2) It makes God Responsible for the sin!

3) It creates double-minded, complacent professing Christians and breeds deception

4) It cause Ministers to excuse sin and not preach against immoral behavior

5) It Contradicts the Bible!

6) It Creates a HUGE Problem with Jesus being born of a woman into flesh

7) It Promotes other False Doctrines

8) It is absurd and unfounded, supported only by Conjecture and improvable!

By it, Satan has Taken himself OUT of the Picture! Man is to Blame for all wrong doing in the world, not the devils temping anyone. Man’s own Nature is corrupted, incapable of Virtue in thought or Deed. Satan need not Prowl seeking to devour anyone! The inevitable consequences of all man’s actions are already wicked and depraved. Satan need not launch his fiery darts or lay in wait to deceive, the sinful nature will do it for him! He can just sit back and wait for the preachers to keep telling their lies and the so-called Christians to keep ‘coming’ in their sins.

Where Did the Doctrine of Original Sin Come From?

2011-05-30T21:20:00.000-04:00

You have been Duped! The Doctrine of Original Sin is NOT a Biblical Teaching. Although many believe wholly they can Prove the existence of this doctrine in the pages of Scripture, the evidence is dubious and laced with conjecture. The Origins of this Doctrine can be Traced Directly to Fourth Century Rome where they were blended into Christian Teaching from the Pagan Philosophies of the Gnostics and Manicheans.

The Problem is however that these ancient teachings are so removed from our present day thinking, NO ONE can imagine how they could effect what we believe in our churches. But they do! The Doctrine of Original Sin is the bases of all Evangelical dogma and has a DIRECT effect on HOW the Gospel is Preached and What brings about True Salvation. Therefore it is Extremely important to understand Where this teaching originated and WHO invented it.

Augustine of Hippo

Born in 354, in Thagaste in North Africa, under the Roman Empire. The Empire had embraced Christianity as the official State Religion since Emperor Constantine consolidated his power base in the West in 311. This made each succeeding Emperor himself the head honcho of the Church. Nothing could be done without him or against him. He held the power of life and death over all the inhabitants in his Empire.

Underneath his reigning authority were the Bishops, who often opposed one another over systems of belief and Doctrine. Into this world of controversy and schisms Augustine was born and grew to manhood. It is very likely he was quite aware of the brutal persecutions against the Donatus by Emperor Constantine to silence their opposition of his Catholic Authority and knew very well that these factions still existed in the church. But Augustine was not a professing Christian in his youth, although his Mother was a member of the Catholic church, his father was pagan and had high expectations for his son in Roman Society.

Augustine’s parents used their connections to secure a University education for their son in Carthage.

As a student he engaged in much loose behavior and soon had a young son from one of his affairs. This lead to a life long obsession with lust that would impact his doctrinal beliefs greatly. While in the city he joined the Manicheans, a syncretistic Gnostic religion founded by a medium called Mani in third century Persia. As a youth, Mani had received revelations by a spirit being he called his “Twin”. Since its foundation, Manichaeism had spread like wildfire through the ancient world, finding many followers, some of them being influential people in Roman society. The Manicheans spoke of Jesus too, as a prophet, alongside Buddha and Zoroaster, but reserved the title of “Last Prophet” or “Seal of the Prophets” for Mani himself.

Where Did the Concept for Original Sin Come from?

The world view of Manichaeism was dualistic: one side was a world of light, inherently good and on the other the material world, inherently evil. Each world was presided over by a god. As everything material, the incarnate part of the human was evil by nature from the day of his conception and was drawn towards sin. Only the immaterial soul, belonging to the world of light, was pure and could not be defiled, not even by the grossest sins of the body. The worst sins in Manichean thinking were the sexual sins, because they resulted in more souls of light becoming imprisoned in evil bodies. According to Manichaeism, mankind was divided into three separate groups of people: the Sinners, the Hearers and the Elect. The Elect were obliged to refrain from all things that bound them to the material world: certain foods, sexual intercourse and manual labor. They were certain to obtain salvation once they died. The Hearers had to observe the same restrictions only on Sundays. They would have to go through more cycles of incarnations before they, too, would reach salvation. Augustine himself was a Hearer.

Manichaeism offered a world view that eliminated the fear of judgment by offering hope for salvation while still living in sin. It also gave an explanation for sin according to which nobody could be singled out as a sinner since all men were born sinners. It’s easy to see how attractive that must have been for Augustine, guilt-ridden as he was over the ongoing fornication in his life. The Manicheans called themselves Christians, which made it easier for someone raised Catholic to see himself as an adherent of something that was really Christianity. The Roman Manicheans were very well connected, so opportunities opened up for Augustine he otherwise wouldn’t have had. In 384, aged 30, he became professor of rhetoric at the imperial court in Milan. This was a very prestigious job that brought him close to the Emperor himself.

Given Augustine’s fame in the annals of Christianity, where he is considered the Greatest theologian of Christian Doctrine in all history, it is EASY to see where he derived the bases of his teachings. His background in the Pagan Philosophies of the day set the stage for what would become his understanding of Grace, Faith and Salvation. NO ONE Before Augustine taught that man was Born a Sinner or that his Free Will was in bondage to his flesh. Such Teaching came from the Gnostics!

Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes.” Ecc7:29

The Following is a few Examples of what the early church fathers taught:

We have learned from the prophets, and we hold it to be true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man’s actions. Since if it be not so, but all things happen by fate, neither is anything at all in our own power. For if it be fated that this man, e.g., be good, and this other evil, neither is the former meritorious nor the latter to be blamed. And again, unless the human race have the power of avoiding evil and choosing good by free choice, they are not accountable for their actions, of whatever kind they be. Justin Martyr, c. 160

We were not created to die, but we die by our own fault. Our free-will has destroyed us; we who were free have become slaves; we have been sold through sin. Nothing evil has been created by God; we ourselves have manifested wickedness; but we, who have manifested it, are able again to reject it. Tatian, c. 160

“Woe unto them!” he says, “for they have gone in the way of Cain.” For so also we lie under Adam’s sin through similarity of sin. Clement of Alexandria c. 195

“If thou wilt be perfect.” Consequently he was not yet perfect. For nothing is more perfect than what is perfect. And divinely the expression “if thou wilt” showed the self-determination of the soul holding converse with Him. For choice depended on the man as being free; but the gift on God as the Lord. And He gives to those who are willing and are exceedingly earnest, and ask, that so their salvation may become their own. For God compels not (for compulsion is repugnant to God), but supplies to those who seek, and bestows on those who ask, and opens to those who knock.

Clement of Alexandria c. 195

Regardless what you THINK the Bible says about Free Will and Original sin, you MUST ask yourself WHY these Disciples (Direct Descendants of the Apostles) Affirmed that man was born innocent with FULL Freedom of choice! WHO taught them these things?

It Certainly appears that their understanding of Scripture was Radically Different than what the Present day churches are teaching. Somebody has it Wrong. Will the Real Heretics please stand up!

In 381 the reigning Emperor started putting pressure on the Manicheans in order to put an end to their influence. Fearing for his life, Augustine turned to pagan Greek philosophy. He delved deep into philosophical thought, especially into Neoplatonist philosophy. Neoplatonism was the most religious branch of pagan Greek philosophy. It believed in one God and theorized about the qualities of this “ineffable and transcendent One”. An example of Neoplatonist reasoning would be: God is perfect and to someone who already has perfection change could only be to the worse - therefore God can´t change, he´s immutable. To them, God was beyond any human likeness. The main pursuit of the Neoplatonists - and this would remain Augustine´s pursuit through his entire life - was the pursuit of happiness. In this, a higher source of happiness had always to be preferred over a lesser, the best source being one that was immutable. An augmentation to finding an immutable source of happiness was only thinkable if the receiving of that happiness was not contingent upon the potentially changing will of the recipient.

Augustine’s conversion to Catholicism came shortly after this through listening to a the preaching of a man named Ambrose, who interrupted the Old Testament Scriptures in a way that Augustine found intriguing. His diversion to Christianity was especially the apparent image of a God who CHANGED His mind revealed in the Old Testament. Augustine’s Neoplantonist thinking could not abide with that. God was ‘immutable’ (He did not change!) Ambrose presented an alternate view that the Old Testament was

allegorical not literal Thus the stories of God interacting with man and changing His Mind was not factual and did not truly represent the Divine Nature.

Again ANYONE can see that these beliefs are the bases of Present Day Christian Doctrine! If God is immutable or does not change His Mind, then Election and Predestination are Mandatory. Since man is Born into sin, according to these Pagan teachings, and morally incapable of making a Right Choice, its God who Decides who is saved and who is not saved. Man attributes Nothing to the Process of Salvation. In this is the fatalistic understanding that man is merely a pawn and nothing he does nor doesn’t do can make any difference toward the outcome of his salvation.

The Philosophers and scholars of the Roman Empire occupied many positions of power and were able to weld great influence over Roman Society. When the Emperor declared Christianity as the only legitimate national religion, many of them quickly changed their strips and joined up with the Catholic church. However they ALSO brought with them a variety of pagan teachings and blended them into the church, as we have shown. Among these supposed Converts Augustine would become the lead interrupter of Scripture that would dictate the future of Christian Doctrine to this VERY DAY!

Augustine was an avid writer in Latin (he could not read or understand Greek) and literally volumes of his works have been copied and re-copied throughout history and studied in all the leading Bible colleges in the world. The Westminster Confession of faith, framed by the reformers in 1600 England is ENTIRELY Augustinian. Nearly the entire ‘Christian’ world without exception firmly embraces section VI of this Confession that affirms the existence of Original Sin.

One may ask, ‘Can we Not hold to the Doctrine of Original Sin and STILL preach the Gospel of Grace?’

By No Means! The Doctrine itself renders the Gospel ineffective! By Necessity this Doctrine creates a System of lies to support it. Most devastating to the Process of Salvation it Destroys man’s Free Will and turns God into a Tyrant by making Him Demand something we are incapable of Doing! Therefore man’s will is in Vain, unless God’s Wills for him. Thus this necessitates a re-interruption of Scripture. So God CANNOT Render According to each man’s Deeds, Rom2:7, (and all the Prophets affirm!) BUT Chooses whom He wills to be saved and the others damned.

Again, this is Pure 100% Augustinian Hogwash! Blended into Christianity in Fourth Century Rome and handed down to us by the Reformers. Under this System man is Born as a Lump of Sin, morally inept and unable to choose the Right way. (YET all the early Fathers said the VERY opposite!) If he is to be Saved according to this teaching, its IN HIS SINS, NOT OUT of them! So Repentance is null and void, or a mere confession, or agreement with God that you are born a sinner. No Clearing, Zeal, Diligence, Conviction, godly sorrow for sin or Vindication!

God’s Will is then ‘Irresistible’ as His Nature is ‘Immutable’. No Matter what the Bible Shows! Only the Elect will be finally Saved and NOT according to anything they Do or Don’t do. Christ Died for the Elect, NOT the Entire World (as Scripture says!) and No One can question His Wisdom or ask Why.

Here’s a Brief Exert of Augustine’s teaching of Grace:

Quote: This however is certain: our will is in vain, if God doesn´t have mercy on us. But I don´t know how one could say: in vain God has mercy, if we aren´t willing. Because if God has mercy, we are willing. It´s part of God´s mercy that we are willing, for it is God who works in us to will and to do according to his good will. If we ask whether the good will is a gift of God or not, it would be surprising if somebody would dare to negate that. But because the good will doesn't precede the calling, but the calling the good will, therefore it is right to attribute our good will to God who calls us, but it can´t be attributed to us that we are called. The sentence : “it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy” is not to be interpreted as to mean that without God´s help we cannot achieve what we want, but rather that without his call we don´t have the will.

All men are – because, as the Apostle says: “in Adam all die”, from whom as the origin the offence of God spread to all humanity – one lump of sin who deserves to be punished by the highest divine justice. The punishment being executed or being remitted, both is no injustice.

But if anyone is troubled by the fact that nobody resists his will – because he helps whom he wills and he deserts whom he wills – and that the one whom he helps and the one whom he deserts belongs to the same lump of sin, and that, even though both deserve punishment, it´s executed on the one and remitted to the other – if anyone is troubled by that: “O man, who are you to talk back against God?”

How was Augustine, one man, able to pass this off as Christian teaching in his day when it directly contradicts the Bible and is so obviously influenced by Neoplatonist and Manichean thought? HOW is it possible that the Church would accept such statements as man is born as ‘a lump of sin’ or that his will is in Vain, when NOTHING of the sort had ever been taught by anyone before? WHY wasn’t he exposed as a false teacher with his cohorts and banished from the church, rather than adopted into the mainstream and foundation of subsequent doctrine developed in the years to come?

Could it be that the spirit of the age, (the spirit of error, 2Thess2:2-11) being at work in the hearts of men found the PERFECT Vessel in Augustine to introduce the Strong Delusion of error? The Stage had already been set in fourth Century Rome to fully corrupt the early church and get the focus off Repentance, Faith, Obedience and holiness. When Augustine stepped up to the plate Everything was neatly in place for him to spread his Gospel of Sin throughout the Empire. His opponents were few in number and easily eliminated over the preceding years. By the time the Roman Empire finally met its demise, the Heathen and Pagan hordes were setting up shop and craving out a new Empire of their own. The Greek Language fell into obscurity, as did many of the ancient teachings of the Church. But Augustine’s legacy remained intact and as the history entered into the Dark Age of religious superstition his Philosophies brought about brutal wars, persecutions, inquisitions and mass ignorance.

When the Great Reformation came along in the 1500’s, many broke away from the brutal tyranny of the Catholic church, but they DID NOT abandon Augustinian Doctrine! The System they founded was then laced with error and spoiled from the beginning. The Doctrine of Original Sin REMAINED the Foundation Block of Christian Dogma and Continued to Re-define the Message of Repentance and Faith. It has been handed Down to this Very Day and has Rendered the Gospel COMPLETELY Ineffective to Redeem anyone from the Corrupting influence of sin.

The Evidence against Augustine is Overwhelming. He is the VERY SOURCE of the False teaching Deceiving Millions today in the modern churches! If you are Still Compelled to embrace his teachings as Biblical truth, God help you at the Judgment! Coming Out will be of Great Cost to you personally, BUT a

refusal will incur the Greater Condemnation later. It’s your choice to make.

Augustine Taught:
Born a Lump of Sin
No Free Will

God Never Changes, Immutable.

Grace only to Elect, God Decides

Just War, Persecution of heretics

Bible Teaches:

Born Innocent

Free & Independent Will

God interacts with man, alters His course

Grace to Whosoever Will Come, Died for All

Love your enemies, Pay no one evil for evil

Saved in Sin!

CHAPTER IX Of Free Will (Westminster Confession of Faith)
I. God hath endued the will of man with that natural liberty, that it is neither forced, nor,
by any absolute necessity of nature, determined to good, or evil.[205]
II. Man, in his state of innocency, had freedom, and power to will and to do that which
was good and well pleasing to God; but yet, mutably, so that he might fall from it.
III. Man, by his fall into a state of sin, hath wholly lost all ability of will to any spiritual
good accompanying salvation:[208] so as, a natural man, being altogether averse from
that good,[209] and dead in sin,[210] is not able, by his own strength, to convert himself,
or to prepare himself thereunto.[211]
IV. When God converts a sinner, and translates him into the state of grace, he freeth him
from his natural bondage under sin;[212] and, by his grace alone, enables him freely to
will and to do that which is spiritually good;[213] yet so, as that by reason of his
remaining corruption, he doth not perfectly, nor only, will that which is good, but doth
also will that which is evil.[214]
V. The will of man is made perfectly and immutably free to good alone, in the state of
glory only.[215]

Let’s See What the Bible has to Say:

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. Luke1:5-6

There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. Acts10:1-3

In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. Acts10:34-35

But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience. Luke8:15

Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Gen6:9

And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. Gen5:24

The Doctrine above states that ‘Man, by his fall into a state of sin, has WHOLLY LOST ALL Ability to any spiritual good accompanying salvation!’ Granted Man Cannot ‘Convert himself’ BUT he Certainly is capable of DOING the Right thing in God’s Site that accompanies his Salvation.

Cornelius for example, surly didn’t Convert himself, But his devotion to God and prayer hastened his eventual conversion under Peter’s Preaching. And if a Nation or Person can ‘Work Righteousness’ and ‘Fear God’ Wouldn’t that be the Good and Noble heart in which the Seed of God’s Word falls and takes root? Clearly the Parents of John the Baptist were prepared to Meet the Lord. HOW? If they were Born Depraved and incapable as the Doctrine states?

Yet the Reformers embraced a Notion that a Regenerated Person Remains Double-Minded and Serving Two Masters until the day he dies and enters into Glory. (Because he was Born a Sinner!) Consequently they invented an Entire System of Teaching to support their false premise. To Explain the existence of ‘inbred sin’ that remains after conversion and results in a Divided heart (which is forbidden in Scripture) they create a ‘Provisional’ Cleansing at initial Salvation. Saying, ‘In Principle’ you are Crucified with Christ and freed form the bondage of sin, but in Reality you continue to Serve the flesh until you are Sanctified. Accountability to God then is determined wholly on the amount of Light you have received and whether or not the Holy Spirit has directed a changed in your desires at any given point.

As people come into the System and buy into this teaching it fits their Dead religious experience of ‘Receiving Jesus.’ They are told that Salvation consists of Admitting to God you are a sinner and then Trusting that Jesus will forgive and save you in spite of your ongoing sins. Which in Reality has NOTHING to do with Salvation in the Bible! But Millions have set their eternal hopes on it and continue to do so in droves.

Nobody wants to admit they have been scammed. When the Con man shows his hand and his victims are able to see the error of their ways in trusting him, the natural inclination is to deny they have been taken! That’s why it’s almost impossible to expose the lies. The People being Lied to CAN’T except the fact that the VERY ones they have placed their trust in are the liars! But the Scam takes on a Whole New Dimension in the fact that EVERYONE Believes in it and thinks it will see them through to the end.

The Best you can hope for in initial Regeneration is a ‘Partial’ Cleansing of sin, which translates into a Cover for sin, because you Come in Sinning and Divided in heart. But God Cuts you the slack you need in your ‘Sinful’ State because the inbred depravity is NOT Accountable as sin until He grants you the Holy Spirit to enlighten you to your need of further cleansing in Sanctification. This Process can extend over the entire lifetime and never be fully realized this side of glory. But to God you Remain Holy, Pure and Blameless in Christ because you TRUSTED Him in the beginning.

Therefore as the Doctrine Clearly States: ‘You MUST be Saved, Regenerated, brought into the Kingdom, forgiven and cleared’ IN YOUR SINS! There is NO Possibility of you being able to Repent and prepare yourself for the Kingdom. Inbred sin has rendered your nature wholly incapable of responding to God unless He first awakens you through His Grace and Saves you in your sins. Then you can offer Him a meager obedience tainted by the Stain of Corruption that remains inside you. The on going sin in your life is of no consequence from here on and you are assured of heaven when you die.

The Bible Says: ‘We Are WORKERS TOGETHER With Him, so NOT to Receive the Grace of God in Vain!’ 2Cor6:1. WHAT Accompanies Salvation if NOT a Repentant heart and a Clearing of Wrong Doing with Fear? Isn’t that the Good, Honest Ground in which the Seed of God’s Word falls and takes Root? WHY Does Scripture Constantly Call Man to a Repentance PROVEN By Deeds? ….if he is incapable of those VERY Deeds!!!

“Let the Wicked FORSAKE his Ways! The Un-Righteous man his thoughts! Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. Isa55:6-7

What CAN’T you Understand about this? What makes it so DIFFICULT for you to admit that the Sin MUST STOP BEFORE Mercy can be granted? God has NOT Changed!

Now therefore, amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; then the LORD will relent concerning the doom that He has pronounced against you. Jer26:13

So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it. Jonah3:5-10

In ‘Christian’ La La Land you can ‘Get Saved’ and spend the next thirty years in a church wretched to the bone and NO ONE will ever challenge your notions or rebuke your behavior. If you decide to be a cut above the rest in witness, the System will welcome your service as long as it fits into their agenda of bringing others into the fold in like manner. There is no doubt that you will find a denomination that meets your fancy and a Teacher / Preacher that tickles your ears with just the right amount of congeniality.

The average professing Christian in this System will be carnally minded and wrapped up in the world in various ways. Not all of them will be vile sinners however, but they will be taken up with worldly activities, entertainments and anything but God. They will know very little about the Bible except where they think it defends sin, which is usually summarized by claiming that ‘no one is perfect!’ What makes it so difficult to show these people the fatal error of their ways, is not the false doctrines they are believing in. (they may or may not even understand most of it) BUT the fact that MOST of them are such NICE people on the surface.

As long as you come in among them in need of their fellowship and support they will welcome you with open arms, because it feels like the right thing to do. Remember theirs comfort in numbers and if everyone can feel wanted and needed it’s like one big happy family. Everyone will be treated like a Christian regardless of their behavior. The Pastor especially is NOT going to frighten anyone off by exposing sin or demanding Obedience to the Truth. He will speak about these things, but always in such manner that God is Patient and loving and will receive you into His Kingdom in spite of your performance.

Your personal happiness in this System depends on your acquiescence to the Complacency of your ‘Christian’ experience. If you came in through the standard route of ‘Receiving’ Jesus as your personal Savior, you will have NO sense of urgency whatsoever over the slip shod conditions of the church or standards of conversion. Everything will appear normal and the preaching will sound good. Anything that challenges or opposes the status quo will be considered heresy and un-Christian. Your welcome among (these nice people!) will only extend as far as YO U are willing to accept their Darkness as Light and their hypocrisy as normal.

Description of the so-called Christian Today:

Sin Everyday in Thought, Word and Deed

Lukewarm, Corrupt and Dead

Fat, lazy, Biblically ignorant and self satisfied.

Carnally Minded, No Victory over World, Flesh and Devil!

Roving Evil Eye, coveting and lusting after things of earth.

Double-Minded, Divided Heart, Serving Two Masters, Building on the Sand, obstinate.

Form of godliness with the fashion of Religion, lacking any Power over sin

Spreading the Lie like a Plague and creating more of the same!

We have all heard the saying: ‘If the Shoe Fits Wear it!’ WELL in the Church it’s, ‘IF THE LIE WORKS, USE IT!’ And it Indeed Works, without question, it works very well. BUT the Price of Pleasing Everyone is Going to be VERY HIGH. There is NO LIE of the TRUTH! One Day this Truth is going to GRIND you To Powder….unless FIRST you Fall upon it and be Broken in Repentance!
