THE DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT!
There is a sadness that accompanies the depth of Satanic deception remarkably embraced by many as being in accord with the revealed written Word of God! Certainly, it is fair to suggest that Satan is exposed here as being the father of all lies. Our only defence against his lying tactics is the sword of the Holy Spirit, which is sharper than any two edged sword. This two-edged sword is defined as being the Word of God, which is why we quote the written Word (the sword).
We read in post 131 that Mary told Jesus that the wine kegs were empty. Jesus replied, "Woman! what have I to do with you? My hour has not yet come." Emphasis laid upon my hour has not yet come! We also read of an encounter of a Samaritan woman talking with Jesus. Even though what she asked for was outside of Jesus immediate mission, she, by her persistence received her request. Note here that her request was granted even though the time of visitation to the Gentiles was destined to be a later event.
The irony is that today, there are those who present the scriptures to their own destruction. These individuals indicate that Mary was a Mediator based on the premise that Jesus had turned the water into wine. But remember the scripture that states - when as yet His hour had not yet come. Further, if they are intent on citing the above example with Mary, then what about the Samaritan Woman? Are we also to call her a Mediator? She too had her request granted by Jesus even though at that time Jesus was only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, Again, His hour had not yet come.
The good news is that When the truth of the Word of God descends from one’s head into one’s heart, the scales of unbelief dissipate immediately from one’s eyes. It also means that those presenting the scriptures need to ask themselves important questions about their teachings. For example, do the teachings align with the word. It is at this point that the scriptural truths take precedent.
Studying further we view what Matthew heard, saw and recorded. These scriptures can be found in Matthew 12:46-50, Luke 8:19-21 and Mark 6:3. Mary had other children ie. James, Joses, Simon, and Judas, plus at least three daughters. In one passage it is said, "Are not His sisters here with us, all being referred to as being His own kin? In the passages above we read of His mother, brethren, and sisters all used literally. NOTE: Jesus was the child of the Holy Spirit, born of a surrogate mother Mary. So the kin referred to here were neither brothers nor sisters, nor, were they half brothers, or half sisters, for they were the direct offspring of Mary and Joseph.
The Lord is called Mary’s firstborn in Matthew 1:25 and Luke 2:7. Even the natural inference suggests that she had other children. Therefore, the Lord Jesus is the Only begotten Son of the Father. In different scriptural references, Mary along with her sons tried to interrupt Jesus' work. Once, while Jesus was speaking, He was informed that that they wanted to speak with Him. There are other references that validate these points as well. For example, Jesus' brothers according to the flesh are mentioned as not believing on Him until after the resurrection John 7:3-10. We read in Galations 1:18 of James the Lord’s brother according to the flesh. In Luke 1:38 Mary says, "Behold the hand maid of the Lord."
We will not at this point enter the pagan views that are infiltrating into the Christian faith by anti God persons that state Mary was the Mother of God. As previously stated, heathen persons have introduced doctrine that is not consistent with the scriptures and the Christian faith with some obvious success inasmuch as that pagan presentation is prevalent today. Still, as Christians we align ourselves with the scriptures. And Jesus said. "My Mother and my Brethren are they which hear the Word of God and do it. Knowing the truth shall set you free from paganism. Peace to all who are in Jesus. Stand in the Offering Plate!
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

Only One Mediator Between God and Man - PART 131
THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT!
The scriptures prophetically spoke these words concerning Jesus the only begotten Son of the Spirit of God. That is, "you are a Priest forever after the Order of Melchisedec." There was only one sacrifice for sin, that sacrifice being Jesus, the Lamb of God. Jesus as the one sacrifice provided the means for the taking away the cursed sin of the world. Jesus offered Himself. He did so only once because that one sacrificial offering was more than adequate to redeem all of Adam's sin cursed family.
As a consequence, we are not under Moses' law embodying the Levite priesthood. Instead, Jesus is now a priest forever after the Order of Melchisedec. This prophecy by fulfilling ushers into the Christian church instituted a different order, totally separated, from the old covenant.
This is an important point -- for where there is a change in the priesthood, it also necessitates a change in the order, introducing a New Law. In this case, the Law of the Spirit of Life. A quickening Spirit attainable only through the ministry of the ONE Mediator Priest who is Jesus.
This New Testament therefore is bequeathed to all believers. The written will of a rich inheritance thus delivered to all who come directly to Jesus. For He has said that whosoever comes to me, I will in no way cast him aside.
As a subsequent message to Post 129 - In anti Christ churches another usurper mediator is presented in total contrast to the Word of God. They submit that at the marriage feast in Cana, Mary went to Jesus concerning the wine shortage, and that Jesus responded to her request. Therefore the assumption is that should one goes to Mary with their request, she then in turn goes to Jesus. As a result the request will be granted. In this context, Satan still offers an alternative to the Word of God.
But God Has said repeatedly, and made clear for all to see, that there is only ONE Mediator between Himself and man and that is the Man Jesus.
God said, "Let all the angels of God worship Him." That includes the fallen demonic angels who transform themselves and present themselves as messengers of Light. This is the origin of a message that would even imply that Mary is or could be another Mediator.
Jesus said to Mary "Woman [not Mother], my hour has not yet come." Like the story of the Samaritan woman who approached Jesus -- Jesus said to her that His mission was at that moment in time was only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The woman, realising that the Samaritans in the eyes of the Jews were classified as dogs, said to Jesus, "that even the dogs eat the crumbs of the masters table." That woman by her persistence broke the barrier of Jesus' mission, receiving her request. Just like Mary she pushed the envelope and even though Jesus hour had not yet come,as far as the gentiles were concerned, the woman's request was granted. You see when faith arises, God rushes in. Without faith it is impossible to please God.
Still others try to re-sacrifice Jesus in Mass ceremonies. This is such a travesty particularly when it is written, “It is finished!” There is no more sacrifice for sin. Jesus said, "Remember this one sacrifice." Not another one. Indeed, we cannot repeat a finished work. What is being demonstrated by these anti-Christ religions is a total disregard of the sacrifice of the Son of God, who laid down His body of prone to sin flesh, that was tempted and tried in all points like as we. And yet, He remained pure and holy and undefiled. For inside that sin prone body of flesh taken from His surrogate mother’s body did dwell the Spirit of His Father the Spirit of God!!
Surely only an anti-Christ church would endeavour to continue in this darkness which is so contradictory to that which is written by the apostles, inspired by the Spirit of God.

Jesus -- The Good Shepherd - PART 130
Why? Why do you call me Lord and do not the things that I command you? I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd gives His life for His sheep. My sheep hear My voice and they follow Me. The voice of a hireling they will not hear.
At some point, each and every one of us must ask this same question. Am I following the voice of a hireling, someone whose speaks things which cannot be substantiated from the scriptures? Maybe you are following tradition? Or rather the voice of a con artist? Certainly, we have an overabundance of con artists in the various forms of media.
Last week, a woman saw that the meeting place door was open. She decided to check us out. Admittedly, she said her nose was bothering her. Well, numerous questions about what we believe were pursued. Those who know us or know of us as “the Jesus people” know that we have a card which on the front face reads somewhat like this .. "Nothing else worked! Why not give God a chance?"
On the backside appears a shape like a plate, with the caption "your offering plate." I asked the inquirer what she considers when she sees an offering plate. This woman admitted that she related the image of an offering plate to tithes. Some people reply food and other's money. But in this case, she was urged to think neither one or the other. At this point, I put the card on the floor with the offering plate side facing up. I politely asked the her to put her foot on the card, which she did willingly. Her foot now on the offering plate I suggested that she offer herself sincerely now to the Lord.
Instantaneously, God took over and how. God is so faithful to His Word. The woman melted with the presence of Jesus. The message in relating this experience is that you can do likewise. And in so doing, believe that one needs to be saved by the blood of the holy Spirit sacrificed at Calvary.
But this is also a message directed to those in the ministry (and elsewhere) who spend all their time endeavouring to extract money. They do so even though we were not redeemed with silver and gold or any other corruptible thing. We were redeemed with the precious blood of the Lamb of God, who is none other than Jesus the only begotten Son of the Holy Spirit. Apart from Jesus there is no salvation available to anyone. God Himself as a son laid down His life willingly, redeeming all men, women, boys and girls willing to ask God into their life.
Today is the day of your salvation. Now is the accepted time. Come just as you are. The gift of God is eternal life. Salvation is a gift. Further, Jesus paid the price of our salvation in full. Jesus is the only door! Stand in the Offering Plate.

Jesus Is The Light of This World - PART 129
The Lord said to Abraham that he was blessed because of his believing faith. Abraham's believing faith was counted to him as righteousness. Indeed, because of his faith in the Word spoken by the Lord to him, God said to him “that in him and in his seed would all the nations of the earth be blessed“
God did not say, in the plurality of Abraham's seed that nations would be blessed. God spoke in the singular, speaking of a particular seed. And that seed of blessing is the new blood seed of the Spirit of God that God implanted into Abraham’s seed bank. This is the seed we now know as Jesus the Christ, who is the promised seed of God. Therefore whosoever applies faith in the seed of the Holy Ghost he or she will be blessed. Likewise, whatsoever nation nationally believes in that seed, they in turn will be blessed as well.
The record of the scriptures verify that when individuals come to Jesus with nothing except sincerity and truth, the blessing immediately flows over them engulfing all those into the ghostly atmosphere of the Spirit of God. Past history records that when a nation turns to God, that nation becomes blessed, and remains safe from all enemies. Unfortunately, when a nation willingly rejects God they decline into disarray.
In Part 126, we spoke of Mary's pregnancy and her discourse with the angel of God. Mary accepted all that was spoken to be truth saying to the Angel, “Let it be so unto me according to your Word." This event, in all probability would be much better understood by a woman, and more than likely by a woman who has birthed a child.
The next time we hear of Jesus was when He took off and was eventually found in the temple talking with others about the scriptures. Upon being found by Mary and Joseph, they sort of had their natural questionings as to why He had left without discussing with them His purposed intent. In response to their queries, Jesus simply asked, "Do you not know that I must be about my Father’s business?"
At 12 years of age, maybe that answer would have been lacking somewhat. Nevertheless, I am sure that they now had a reality check - an aha moment -for both Mary and Jospeh knew the origin of His birth. And now we find Jesus expressing to his chosen parental guardians that He must be about His Father’s business.
All seed comes from God. One has to wait until the seed matures to behold the contents of the seed. The Spirit is of God. God is the Father of all spirits. In Jesus' case, He came forth from God. God’s own seed - inseparable. God and His Seed. God and His Word Jesus. One Spirit. One Word. One God. One Flesh. One Name. All the fullness of God dwelt in the man Jesus. Silence in Heaven until the Spirit of God in Christ said, "I must be about my Father’s business."
Think upon these words giving yourself wholly to them so that we with all our learning gain understanding too. Lord Jesus open our understanding that we might understand the scriptures. Peace to all who are in Jesus -- our One and Only Mediator. Stand in the offering plate.

Counted As Righteous Because of Believing Faith - PART 128

The Promised Seed of God - PART 127
In post 126, we spoke of two seeds, mentioning in particular the promised seed of God imparted into Eve. This seed is of a different blood line than that which now flowed in her veins, which as a result of the sin of disobedience to God’s Word, Eve’s blood had been polluted.
We proceed to bring to believers an understanding of Abraham, for he also was promised that in his seed (singular) would all the nations of the earth be blessed. Remember the miracle of Abraham? Upon reaching 100 years of age he was no longer capable of naturally producing offspring. At the same time, Sarah's womb sealed. But the promised seed came forth anyway. How? Because with God, nothing is impossible! Is there anything too hard for God?
The scriptures state that the things that God has promised, He is also able to perform. There is no shadow of the Lord turning away from His promise. God simply opens Sarah’s womb, and resurrected Abraham's natural capabilities. At the same time, God implanted into Abraham the promised male seed of a pure blood line.
Well, Isaac was the offspring from Abraham's natural resurrected seed. However Isaac was not the seed of promise. In Isaac's seed bank now dwelt the seeds of promise. Therefore, a new genealogical tree is presented in the Biblical record commencing with Abraham. The seeds travel from Isaac into Jacob, and so on until the time of the appearing of the promised seed. Establishing the promised bloodline of the seeds of the Spirit of God who appears as the Only begotten Son of God (begotten not begat). Appearing as the Word declares,"at the fullness of time God sent forth His Son."
The actual times of birth have been previously discussed in earlier posts should you be interested in finding out more. For the record though, December 25 has no scriptural foundation. December 25 being only a cunning act of demons in an effort to override the authoritative Word of God.
First, let me mention that Mary proclaimed that her spirit rejoiced in God HER Saviour. Mary was not the mother of God, for an Angel declared to Mary that holy baby that shall be born of her shall be called the SON of GOD!
Mary, questioned the angel concerning the events, and she was informed that the child conceived in her womb was the child of the Holy Ghost. In fact, the child was to be named Jesus. The angel even proclaimed the mission of Jesus was "to seek and to save His people from their sin."
For this child who was veiled in a body of flesh was in reality the Spirit of God manifested in flesh, being clothed in the womb of a surrogate. The two seeds of promise which were implanted into Eve and into Abraham had now arrived in Mary’s seed bank. These two seeds were brought together by the Holy Ghost. The fetus being the child of His holy Spirit was clothed in flesh -- the flesh of Adam’s sinful race of which flesh Mary herself was clothed with. Mary’s flesh had Adam’s sinful blood flowing in her veins. More to come. God bless!

Don't Be Baited By False Teachings - PART 126
The Word of God reveals that even among yourselves shall men arise speaking perverse things in order to draw away from your congregations. How? For starters, this stealing away of the sheep is accomplished through enticing words. In short, they bait the trap. Paul forewarns of this in the scriptures. He said that some will call themselves apostles, while in reality they are demons and angels of darkness, transforming themselves and appearing as messengers of light.
The scriptures cite (as a precautionary measure) methods for increasing one's awareness of these satanic messengers. That is, if the preacher, pastor, evangelist, priest, or pope utter anything that is contradictory to the teaching of Jesus' spiritual words as revealed to His chosen apostles, (the apostles doctrine which He Himself confirmed as being His Word), then whoever falls short of this scripture should be removed. It is for this reason that we must examine ourselves and continue steadfastly in the apostles Holy Ghost teachings!
But the scriptures also state that the day of the Lord will not come, prior to a falling away from the original order of beliefs and doctrines that were delivered to the early believers. Therefore, we are commanded to watch that the day of the Lord does not open when we have been totally oblivious to the scriptural warnings!
For example, the scriptures state that certain happenings occur in the time period known as the day of the Lord. The day of the Lord in the Biblical context is not a 24 hour period. The day of the Lord is a period of time wherein events transpire. So therefore watch for that day in order that we are not found sleeping, or even worse, occupying a comfortable pew. We believers are debtors to a lost world! If one has lost their first love, then one ought now to arise and trim their oil lamp of faith.
Does the scripture declare that there is only ONE MEDIATOR between God and Man? YES! And that man is none other than the Lord Jesus the Christ! Jesus being the Only begotten Son of God, conceived by the holy Spirit of God. The two seeds i.e. male and female seeds were seeds promised of God. One of these seeds were implanted into the seed bank of Eve. God is on an agenda to redeem mankind through Himself from Adam’s sin which you and I are recipients of.
This promised seed that was implanted into Eve was not like Eve’s natural now fallen seed. No indeed. If it were of Eve’s natural fallen seed, then redemption would have been impossible! Eve’s blood line was now polluted. But the Spirit of God provided a new sinless blood SEED which passed from Eve into Seth, and continued down through the ages as is recorded in the genealogical presentation in your Bible. NOTE: We NOW have an introduction to a new blood line coming forth from the holy Spirit of God, as recorded in Acts 20 -- we were purchased back to God with the precious blood of His Spirit.
In previous presentations we followed this new blood line. In this presentation, we endeavour to impress on readers the authority of the Written Word whilst moving into the theme of there being only one mediator between God and Man.
Notice that scripturally, the idea of only one mediator between God and man opposes the doctrine that Mary is also a mediator. We will let the Word of God deal with those spiritual powers in high places. Allowing the potter’s Word to shape each of us into a vessel of honour is the most important message. Stand in the offering plate. Give God back the life that He has imparted into you. God bless!
The scriptures cite (as a precautionary measure) methods for increasing one's awareness of these satanic messengers. That is, if the preacher, pastor, evangelist, priest, or pope utter anything that is contradictory to the teaching of Jesus' spiritual words as revealed to His chosen apostles, (the apostles doctrine which He Himself confirmed as being His Word), then whoever falls short of this scripture should be removed. It is for this reason that we must examine ourselves and continue steadfastly in the apostles Holy Ghost teachings!
But the scriptures also state that the day of the Lord will not come, prior to a falling away from the original order of beliefs and doctrines that were delivered to the early believers. Therefore, we are commanded to watch that the day of the Lord does not open when we have been totally oblivious to the scriptural warnings!

The Seed Is The Word of God - PART 125
The most unlikely place that one would suspect the anti Christ to come forth from would be from the church itself. As it is written, even of your own selves shall men arise speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after themselves. The scriptures use the following analogy to relate the details. The farmer went out to sow the seed. As he sowed the seed (the seed being the Word of God), some seed fell by the wayside. Other seed fell on stony ground while still some more seed fell among the weeds. If we relate the seed to humans, then the scriptural message becomes clear. That is, not everyone who hears the Word of God shall enter into the kingdom of God. Indeed, only those individuals who hear the Word of God and do it are eligible to enter the Kingdom of God.
As we so often say in these postings - is the word of God coming to you or is the Word of God coming out from you? For if any one should consider themselves to be prophets or spiritual leaders, let them acknowledge that the Words spoken in the Biblical scriptures are the commandments of the Lord. Let it also be noted that the cornerstone of the church is Jesus -- the only begotten Son of the Holy Spirit of God. In Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
The words that were spoken through the mouth of the Lord Jesus were the very Words of the Spirit of God who indwelt the man Jesus, reconciling the world of Adam’s sinful race to Himself. The scriptures state that salvation cannot be achieved in any other name. Salvation can only be obtained in the name Jesus. Why? Because His name -- the name of Jesus is above every other name in heaven and earth.
These points are intended to show people what the scriptures state. At the same time, these scriptural references will (hopefully) dissuade persons who may at this time be engulfed in traditional beliefs, contrary to the doctrinal beliefs that are accurate recorded in the scriptures!. These records are not a contradiction to the Words spoken by the Lord Himself. In fact, the scriptures state -- let God be true and every other a liar -- if they teach doctrines of men that are contrary to apostolic teaching. It is in this context that we find Anti Christ’s everywhere. Remember the seed analogy. Not everyone will hear the gospel.
It is the same with particular church teachings. Was Peter ever a pope? Of course not. Was Peter a married man? Yes he was. In fact, the scriptures state that Peter wife’s mother was sick and the Lord went and healed her. Did Peter greatly err in his conduct toward gentile believers? Yes indeed. Peter was so wrong that Paul the apostle chosen by Jesus to be an apostle to the gentiles withstood Peter face to face. As the scriptures point out,Peter was causing dissension amongst the believers.(Acts 15) Was Peter a pillar in the church? Paul describes it this way. When Paul and Barnabas went up to Jerusalem, they had a meeting with Peter, James and John who seemed to be pillars in the church, adding that whatsoever they were meant nothing to him. (Galatians 1)
Further, is there such a thing as apostolic succession? Not according to the written Word. In Acts I, as a result of Judas' betrayal another had to be chosen to fill his apostleship. So the 120 prayed and cast a vote as to who should be numbered with the other eleven apostles. Mathias was chosen. Note however that the requirement that preceded the vote -- the ones to be selected must have continued with them from Jesus baptism by John the Baptist. This makes apostolic succession or being a conduct of the early Christian church contrary to scriptural teachings. As the scriptures stated earlier, the teachings are either consistent with the scriptures or the teachings are not. When the teachings are not scripturally accurate, then it is a fair assessment to allege that it is a doctrine of anti Christ.
Save yourself from this untoward generation! Besides all of these so called addendum by false apostles, the written Word of the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of Jesus sets the order in His own body by gifting each believer as He wills, for the edification of His own body! Recognize that Jesus is the Head and in all things. Jesus shall have the preeminence. Stand in the offering plate.

It Was Finished From the Beginning In The Lord's View - PART 124
The anti Christ(s) seem to be everywhere. However, as satan’s employees, they are extremely subtle. After all, the spirit of the devil is described as being the father of lies. Right from the garden of Eden, the devil opposed the Word of God. While in the temptation which transpired when the devil tempted the Lord, the devil always presented a twisted warped presentation of the written Word. Recall throughout that the Lord constantly reminded the devil of the truths of God which were written. The Word of God being not only accurate but unchangeable.
Down through the generations believers have endeavoured to express faith in the finished plan of God at Calvary. “It is finished was His cry.” This is why salvation is not a salvation of works. This salvation is the redemptive work of God Himself toward all sinners. For the Lord said that He came to seek and to save that which was lost.
For example, I was lost but I did not know that I was lost. I had followed the crowd on the broad way to destruction. Talk about deception! The devil spun the web and I was trapped. That is, until someone spoke the Word of God to me. It was then that the light switch was turned on. The light of the glorious gospel of God revealed in the face of Jesus. Like a day star -- the dawning of a better day -- light arising and the darkness gradually being dispelled.
It is for this reason that the Word of God is all powerful. The stony heart of unbelief being circumcised with the truths delivered by the Lord to the Apostles. These were truths that He had Himself chosen and their word (which of course did not deviate from) His Word. He confirmed the Word and by so doing established a Rock on which believers could take to the bank of heaven.
So, at what point does one no longer have a God approved right to authentically be called Christian? I would venture to suggest never. Certainly, if Christ is the Head of the Church which is His body, and Christ the Word is spoken by the Spirit through the mouth of the Head Jesus, then only those who are redeemed as a result of hearing His Word and continuing steadfastly therein ought to have the right to be described as Christian. All others who present a message that does not conform to the scriptures must be classified as anti Christ.
So, when one hears another say that there is such a place called purgatory - a place where one receives essentially a second chance to redeem him or herself -- then this is utter foolishness. It certainly is misrepresenting what the scriptures state in the written Word. Therefore, this type of latter message could only be presented by 1) someone who is an enemy of the gospel, or 2) by individuals who have never read the written Word, or 3) one who has been programmed in erroneous teachings.
Recall that when Peter opposed what Jesus said, Jesus turned to Peter and said, "Get you behind me satan, for you savour not the things that be of God but the things that be of man."
It is ultimately your decision but taken together, purgatory is not a reality of God, but one created in the imaginations and minds of man. Indeed, the Lord Himself made no reference to such a place. Further, to even entertain that such a place did exist where we could redeem ourselves would be suggesting that what was accomplished on the cross by Jesus at Calvary was inadequate.
That the Blood of the Holy Ghost that flowed in the veins of the Lord Jesus, which flowed from the side of His marred body for man’s redemption was insufficient. But to those who accept Jesus, we understand the price that was paid on the cross. Jesus died in order that we might receive the gift of salvation.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God. Not of works lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Accept Jesus as Lord God and Saviour in your life today. Repent and be baptized in His name -- the precious Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Stand firm in His teachings. Stand in the offering plate.

The Day of the Lord Shall Come As Thief in Night - PART 123
Let's discuss today's so-called church. Is today's church, is there even a semblance of the early primitive believers? Certainly, many of the teachings and doctrines of today's so-called Christian churches totally contradict the scriptures which has been repeatedly declared by believers as being the sole authoritative truthful Word of God. The Holy Spirit of God confirmed with signs and wonders the reliability of His Word which was spoken through the mouths of Jesus' chosen apostles. These are the same apostles whom He declared to be His witnesses to the uttermost ends of the earth.
The question put forward to believers is this. Is the Word of God coming to you, or conversely, is the Word of God coming out from you ? If the word of God has changed then that would declare that God has changed, for the Scriptures declare that the Word of God is forever settled in Heaven. The scriptures further point out that if any man or woman should alter the Word which the Lord spoke, then he or she is accursed according to the Word of God. There is a reason why the scriptures declare that Jesus the Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. It is because God does not change. The Word of God was the Word of God in the past. The Word of God is the same in the present and will continue to be the Word of God in the future. And if this is so as the Biblical scriptures state, then we ought to receive it as so.
However, unfortunately, we are not fighting with flesh and blood. The problem is that we are fighting with spirit beings whose motivation is to win our soul. This explains why the warfare is constantly raging -- religious warfare and political warfare -- all at war one with the other -- as to who is right and who is wrong. In short, who programmed you? For when you were born, you were born with a blank slate into a beautiful world. In fact this world is the best place you or I have ever been even if it is the only place we've experienced.
Designed by dumb matter which did not create intelligent life, human kind is endeavouring to force feed this type of stupidity on to the next generation. But the Bible states that it is better that a millstone were hung around their neck for altering the truth. Certainly, if I were the one who created this wonderful world with all its manifold blessing and you attributed my workmanship to another, well, I might be a little concerned about your motivations.
Presently, here in Toronto, there is a book presenting that the Roman Catholic religion was right. The author professes to be Roman Catholic in his beliefs. Note the distinction here between Catholic and Roman Catholic. For instance, I am a member of the Catholic church (people) of Jesus. The Catholic church of believers has its Head as JESUS in heaven. It is Jesus' church (people) being a universal church. Alternatively, the Roman Catholic church has its Head in Rome. Equally important, the Scriptures which were delivered by Jesus, who is the Word of God veiled in flesh is and always will be the only authority. In the Word alone, one will find safety, certainty and enjoyment. It is also in the Word that people find salvation.
In this context, I suggest to the author of this new book that the entrance of the Word as is was written by those who saw, heard and touched Jesus is the only source for finding salvation. Jesus is and was God incarnate. Still, we were forewarned of people who would come and try to preach another gospel. Jesus said that many would come in His name asserting that they are Christians. But if they do not speak according to this word believe them not. For to love God is to similarly love His Word. Continue in my Word and then you shall be my disciples indeed.
