If the Lord is God, Follow Him. Not the World or Man

Everyday each of us in someway, serve or fall prey to the Kingdom of Darkness, and its minions.

Elijah's words should speak to all who claim The Eternal Word, Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior:

And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” And the people did not answer him a word.

1 Kings 18:21 (ESV)

 
There are only two kingdoms: the Kingdom of Heaven, and the kingdom of darkness.

• The Battle is actually, Jerusalem vs Babylon....
• The natural man knows not the things of God.

Whether "Christianity", or Islam, or Hindu, or Judaism...or...you fill in the blank... it does not matter... 
 If you are not following the Word of the Kingdom God and instead cling to the evils of the kingdom of darkness, you can and will be deceived and be capable of committing radical atrocities such as those which have been attributed to "Christianity" in ages past, and those of recent history, even today.

This should be a wake up call to those who are in Babylon, and really are not be applicable to a person who knows The Truth... 
The Truth is The Word of God. That Word of God became flesh so that all would be capable of being with Him for all Eternity. That is the meat of the message.

Those who actually know this, and believe this, do not commit the heinous crimes of genocide, mass murder, hate killings or the like.

We can reflect on the events of the middle ages and see it as just secular world history which includes atrocities attributed to those who believed they were following the True God, but only thought so because they were told by those who had exclusive access to the Bible. Those "in the know" taught their followers what they wanted them to know, and indoctrinated them into the thinking that what the "universal church" taught, with its traditions and echelons of piety... was actually the divine truth.

The Papacy claims to be the Vicar of Christ and infallible. There is only One who is Holy and Infallible.

 "Vicar" means, "instead, or in place of". The title "Vicar of Christ" implies that the Pope wields all the powers rightly attributed to The Almighty.... 

This obviously, is false doctrine.

Homework for all is to figure it out, study, and determine which kingdom those so called "Christians" were a part of, whether they knew it or not.

Rome dispatched its legions not only against the Muslims, but the Christian's as well.
When its dominance over all people was being threatened, then the stage had been set for the horrific events in history such as the crusades, the counter-reformation and the various inquisitions.

We would all be well advised to note that in our present age, nothing has changed. The deception is still alive and well today, and this is as it should be. 

Even more events of horror will come, as the pangs of birth get stronger and in tighter intervals, until we reach the final consummation of His Plan.:

As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” ⁴ And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. ⁵ For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. ⁶ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 

Matt 24:3-8 (ESV)

Pope Francis Promotes Man's Fulfillment over the Truth of the Omnipotent Power of God

 

 

 FULFILLMENT?  MAGICIAN? Did Pope Francis refer to the Omnipotent Power of God as a magic trick? In his comments below, Pope Francis promotes man's fulfillment over the Truth of the Omnipotent Power of God

"When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so. He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfillment"  - Pope Francis

FULFILLMENT???

You mean like:

- But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”  - Genesis 3:4-5

 

First... Deny the Power of Almighty God....
Second... Promote Man in his selfish desires, maybe even Man's mystic quest to reach divinity...

This is what an ongoing policy of embracing the religions of the world in "unity" leads to... A mishmosh of beliefs, deluding the minds of would be followers of the Almighty, Alpha and Omega, distorting the Truth, and belittling the work of the Righteous Redeemer, Creator of All, Savior of the World...

No folks... the Pope is NOT the representative or face of Christianity. With every statement he makes, he draws more and more away from the truth with teachings that tickle the ears of those who are in darkness and become blinded to The Truth.

 

 

Go and Sin No More?

Can we truly obey Jesus when He commands us, as He did the harlot after her accusers dropped their stones, "go and sin no more"?

We can earnestly try, and make heartfelt, valiant attempts because we want to please Our Redeemer, but can we be completely successful?


It is not possible for the corrupt flesh of man to "sin no more"

The flesh is to be stifled while we pursue righteousness, and conform more to being Christ like, until the one day we will see Him as He is, because we will be like Him.

The book of John also says that if one says he has no sin, or does not sin, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. If we had the capability within us to "stop" sinning, then Christ's sacrifice would not have been required. The Eternal God would not have had to leave His Throne in Heaven and become flesh as Jesus Christ, to save man from the sin and corruption that came upon him as a result of the Fall while in the Garden of Eden.

God's Plan for the salvation of man would be nothing but a lesson in futility if man could "stop sinning" whenever he wanted.

The Ten Commandments were given to mankind as God's Standard. If I may be permitted to paraphrase God: "You want to be Holy like me? Do these..".

He knew man was incapable of keeping them and thus, would sin, because man is not perfect, and he cannot keep himself from breaking at least one of the commandments. Thus, as the wages of sin is death, man was condemned.

The problem was, and still is... that man believes he has the power to do as he pleases, there is no sin, no moral code, no eternity, no accountability and thus, does not need God.

All God asks is that we believe in Him and in Christ. Believing in Him that sent Him. To believe that Christ died to pay the penalty for the wages of sin, and that He conquered death by raising Himself from the grave.

"No man has power to take my life, I give it willingly and I have power to take it back again" - Jesus' words.

God does not change  but He also doesn't bind us to the law, or to any other commandments.
The law is dead... because it served its purpose of showing man he is worthy of death, and that he needs a Savior. Paul states this plainly in Roman's... We are dead to the law.

Christ: "If you love Me, you will keep my commandments"  

Yes He said this, but He stated it teaching His disciples Perfect Love, the Love which only He could give, and that which would become abundantly clear to the Apostles after His Death and Resurrection, as He relayed to them all that was written concerning Himself in Moses and the Prophets.

The scriptural revelations He was making to them revealed how God was working through out time to restore mankind back to the fellowship they had experienced with Him in the beginning, all the foreshadowing and prophesying of events which would lead to His Death on the Cross, and His subsequent Resurrection at His First Coming, and the future of His Return to complete His repossession of His creation from the current sovereignty of Lucifer. The Scroll with 7 Seals, the title dead to earth and creation to be served, and then consummated with the Word of His Power. The Ultimate Holy Expression of God's Love, the complete Redemption of man and all of creation. An Eternity of Fellowship with Him if we believe in Him and the One that sent Him.

And if, all of a sudden, you really do believe in the existence of God, and His Son, The Son's Death and Resurrection.... don't you think you would want to please Him? Knowing that He first loved us, before we loved Him? You would live to OBEY His commandments which He had given in the beginning, knowing that they reflect His Divine Nature, and that you are walking in the Spirit, LEARNING to be more like Him, everyday growing, conforming to His Nature? thus... "If you love Me, you will keep my commandments" takes on a little different appearance then that of a direct warning... "Do this or you will be condemned to eternal separation from Me"

Don't be legalistic, or try to make people conform to something which Christ had not commanded.

Love and Honor the Lord your God, and Love thy neighbor as thyself, all the other commandments are summarized in these two, as taught and relayed to us by the Eternal Creator, Alpha and Omega...

I think I will believe Jesus and not another set of man's false doctrines.

Maybe we all need to listen to God more, and grasp what He relayed to us in scripture when He said through Paul, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him as Righteousness. God said to Abraham: (paraphrased) "now I know that you love me because you did not spare your son, your only begotten son from Me"

"Having been justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ"  - Romans 5:1

Perfect Love, Peace With God. His Grace is sufficient for me... thank you....

Jesus did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. With His death and resurrection paying the penalty for all of mankind's sin, and His resurrection, destroying the binds which death had upon us as sinners, His New Covenant was established with those who believe in Him and His Work. For those who do not, they are judged by the Law given to Moses by the Eternal, by Jesus, if you will, and He, as the Judge of the World, will judge all the non-believers by the Law, and all will be condemned, because none can stand up as fulfilling ALL of God's PERFECT Nature, as displayed by His Eternal Law.

Believers will NEVER be judged by this Perfect Law, as the PERFECT Sacrifice, God HIMSELF, Gave Himself as a RANSOM to pay the penalty outlined for breaking His Own Perfect Law. He redeemed those who believe in Him, and He places all of the their transgressions of the law, as far as the East is from the West, to be remembered, no more.

Hallelujah, What a Savior. Thank you Lord Jesus!

We Have Peace with God Through Our Faith in God the Father, and the Savior, Jesus Christ

We have Peace with God Through Our Faith in God the Father, and the Savior, Jesus Christ.

By having faith in God, The Creator of all things, as well as faith in the provision He has made for the payment of the debt we owe Him (we being sinful from birth), and acknowledging His Son, Jesus Christ, The Alpha and Omega, and the gift of redemption He has given us.

Jesus willingly giving Himself to a horrific death on the cross, to spill His blood, which would cover all the sins of the world.

"Christ died for the ungodly"

Believing in the Creator, in the Savior, and the work at the cross and His subsequent resurrection, which is the provision that God had made for sinners to be cleansed and redeemed through Christ, allows us to be justified in His sight.

As Abraham had believed God, and it was imputed to him as righteousness, so we too should believe and have faith that God is, and that what He says, is Truth.

Believing in Him, we are justified by Faith!  All Power, Praise, and Glory to the Lord on High, The Everlasting, Alpha and Omega, Ancient of Days... What A Savior!

Romans 5:1-8 (ESV)

"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
