Regardless of your denominational affiliation or theological beliefs, the information on this web site is here to help you and encourage you to “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith” (II Cor. 13:5), “the faith of Jesus” (Rev. 14:12), “the Saviour of the world” (John 4:42), “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith” (Heb. 12:2). “But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” (Titus 3:4-7). “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” (Gal. 2:16). “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.... For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” (Gal. 3:22,26). “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.” (Eph. 2:8,9). Please read the following with an open heart and mind “and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.” (Jam. 1:21). And let “the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge” speak to your heart, (Eph. 3:19). “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:” (Isa. 1:18) |

Are you disillusioned by religion? Are you confused or unsure about the Bible and Christianity? Have you been misled, abused or wounded by organized religion, religious leaders or spiritual guides who place their own opinions and private interpretations of the scriptures above the Holy Bible which is the pure preserved written word of God? Have you been let down by those whom you looked up to for inspiration and guidance? This web site may help you recover, and restore your faith in God's truth (“thy word is truth”John 17:17), and avoid the mistakes of thinking more highly of man than we ought to think. (Psa. 118:8; Prov. 3:5,7; 16:19; 22:20,21; 26:12; Rom. 12:3; II Peter 1:20)
“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.” (Psa. 118:8)
King David said, “For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.” (Psa. 55:12-14). Others may forsake us, and even our friends may forget us: but the Lord promised his people saying, “they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.” (Isa. 49:15). Again King David said, “And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.” (Psa. 9:10)
“Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.” “The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” “The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.” (“thy word is truth” John 17:17) (Psa. 34:18; 62:8; 145:18; 147:3).
Does your heart long for “the living and true God”, “the God of all comfort;” who “comforteth those that are cast down”? Does your heart and soul desire “to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge”? Does your heart and mind seek lasting peace, “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding”? Do you truly “hunger and thirst” for “the kingdom of God and his righteousness” and for “the bread of life” which is “The Word of God”? Have you “esteemed the words of his mouth more than” your “necessary food”? (“As the hart [deer] panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:”) Do you love “the praise of God” more than “the praise of men”? And do you seek “the honour that cometh from God only”? Jesus Christ is the answer you have been searching for. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Job 23:12; Psa. 42:1,2; Isa. 26:3; Jer. 10:10; Matt. 5:6; 6:33; Luke 8:11; John 5:44; 6:35; 12:43; 14:27; Acts 4:12; II Cor. 1:3; 7:6; Eph. 3:19; Philip. 4:7; I Thess. 1:9; I Pet. 1:23; Rev. 19:13)
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit [“the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit” 6:63] and in truth [“thy word is truth” 17:17]: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.” (John 4:23).
Some people say, “Follow your heart.” But the Bible informs us that “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” and “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool” (Jer. 17:9; Prov. 28:26). Jesus said, “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within” (Mark 7:21,22,23). In Biblical times the children of Israel “sinned against the LORD their God” by routinely compromising with the heathen nations around them, setting up images and idols and adopting pagan religious customs, and “every man did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25; II Kings 17:7; Jer. 10:2). Today God's people are enticed with some of the same types of allurements, the temptation to compromise the words of the Lord with the ways of the world. And just as “the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God”, “and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt”, many “Christians” today are following their intuitions, or their personal feelings, or their church's “revelations” from heaven, and leaning to their “own understanding” to ‘worship’ or please the Lord, and “have chosen their own ways”, “every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes” (Prov. 3:5; Acts 7:39; Isa. 53:6; 56:11; 66:3; Deut. 12:8). Some people say, “Trust your feelings.” But the Bible said, “Cursed be the man that trusteth in man” (Jer. 17:5,9). Some people say, “Let your conscience be your guide.” But the Bible said to let “the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost” which is “The Word of God” be your “guide” (John 1:1; 14:26; 16:13; I Peter 1:23; I John 5:7; Rev. 19:13). Some people say, “Search your heart for the truth.” But Jesus said to “Search the scriptures” for “the truth”, and “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth [“thy word is truth”], and the truth shall make you free.” (John 5:39; 8:31,32; 17:17). King David said, “Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.” (Psa. 119:114)
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matt. 11:28-30). “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” (Jer. 6:16). “To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.” (Isa. 28:12). “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they [the scriptures] are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” (John 5:39,40).
In this day of compromise, confusion and delusion, when fiction and fantasy is promoted as reality, when fables are preferred over truth, when personal experiences and opinions are taking the place of Biblical reasoning, when people's feelings and emotions mean more than facts, when traditions and commandments of men are elevated to Scripture status, when pagan customs are being passed off as Christian customs and most church folks are willing active participants, when the Biblical definitions of words are being changed to accommodate fallen man's philosophy and theology, when many in the church world will not endure sound doctrine but will allow private interpretation of the scriptures every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes, when many professing Christians are speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience seared with a hot iron, when men are lovers of their own selves, covetous, proud, disobedient to parents, false accusers, despisers of those that are good, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, and when morals, values and theologies change with the wind, it is reassuring to know that we have an unmovable foundation, Jesus Christ the rock of our salvation, the faithful Creator whose words will never cease nor change:

“All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.” (Prov. 8:8,9). “a good understanding have all they that do his commandments:” (Psa. 111:10). “the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” (Prov. 9:10). “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” (Psa. 119:130). “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (I Cor. 2:14). “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.... That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” (John 3:3,6). “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63). “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” (I Peter 1:23). “Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt. 18:3). “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.... A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:5-8).
With all of the different religions of the world, and with so many different doctrines and beliefs among the various Christian churches today, how are we to know what is true and what is not true? God's word, the Holy Bible, has all the answers. But how many people know what the Holy Bible says? Consider the following verses: Jeremiah says, “The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.” (Jer. 28:9). But Deuteronomy says, “If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” (Deut. 13:1-3). The gospel of Mark says, “And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” (Mark 16:20). But the gospel of Matthew says, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” (Matt. 24:24).
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Prov. 14:12).
The scriptures plainly show us that signs and wonders are not a safe way of determining the truth. In the book of Acts God “granted signs and wonders” to be done by the apostles to confirm the word of the Lord and to validate the scriptures written by them (Acts 14:3). But signs and wonders can also be used to deceive. Paul writes, “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders” (II Thess. 2:9). We can see by the scriptures that signs and wonders are not a good criterion to follow for recognizing the difference between a true prophet and a false prophet and discerning “between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not” (Mal. 3:18).
“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Prov. 16:25).
How then are we to know the truth? Are we to trust a “confirmation” in our heart? Is that good feeling or witness in our heart a biblical and safe way of ascertaining the truth? Consider the testimony of a recent convert: “Until the very second that I made my declaration, I wasn't entirely convinced that it was what I wanted to do. Would I wake up one day and want to change my mind? Would I feel like I had made a huge mistake? But already I feel as if my life has been transformed. I don't know how to describe it, but the moment I said those words, my heart filled with joy and love and it took about four days for me to come back down off the ceiling.” This sure sounds like a wonderful testimony. However, this testimony was not made by a born again Christian, but by a recent convert to Islam (“Why I took the hijab,” The Guardian, June 20, 2002). The Muslim receives a confirmation in his heart that his religion is true. The Hindu receives a confirmation in his heart that his religion is true. The Catholic receives a confirmation in his heart that his religion is true. The Mormon receives a confirmation in his heart that his religion is true. Even the Wiccan (a Witchcraft practitioner) and Satanist receives a confirmation in his heart that his religion is true. Trusting a confirmation in our heart is both un-biblical and un-safe.
“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” (Prov. 28:26).
Again, consider the following statement which was made by a high profile individual: “If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we... become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are... What God is in your mind you must accept.” (Global Peace and the Rise of Antichrist, Dave Hunt, p.149). This astonishing statement was not made by a New Age Guru, but by a well known and highly respected Catholic, Mother Teresa. And this is why the Lord warned us in the scriptures that we should never trust in our own heart because the human “heart is deceitful above all things” (Jer. 17:9). So how do we know the truth? The only way to know what is true and what is not true is to know “what saith the scripture” (Rom. 4:3; Gal. 4:30). Jesus said, “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures” (Matt. 22:29). Isaiah said, “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word [“the holy scriptures”II Tim.3:15], it is because there is no light in them.” (Isa. 8:20). Jesus said, “Search the scriptures”, and “If ye continue in my word . . . ye shall know the truth” (John 5:39; 8:31,32). God gave us his written word to give us “hope” and “comfort” and the promise of “everlasting life” (Rom. 15:4; John 3:15,18; 6:63). And God also gave us his written word to keep us from deceiving ourselves and to keep us form being deceived by others (Matt. 24:4; Rom. 12:3; I Cor. 3:18; 4:6). The scriptures are given to us “for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” to keep the Lord's people from wondering off course and to “keep the feet of his saints” firmly planted upon the solid foundation of the truth — “thy word is truth.” (II Tim. 3:16; I Sam. 2:9; I Cor. 3:11; John 17:17).
“I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth:” (Isa. 45:19). “I have not spoken in secret from the beginning” (Isa. 48:16). “For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.” (Deut. 30:11). “The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” (Psalms 68:11). “And the word of God increased.” (Acts 6:7). “But the word of God grew and multiplied.” (Acts 12:24). “And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.” (Acts 13:49). “So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” (Acts 19:20).
The Holy Bible repeatedly assures us that “Every word of God is pure” (Prov. 30:5) and that God himself “shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” (Psa. 12:7). Sadly, many people today do not believe that God promised to preserve his “pure words” “for ever” “to all generations” and “to all nations for the obedience of faith” (Psa. 12:6; 33:11, 119:90; Acts 2:6,7; Rom. 16:26). Even within conservative Christian churches today many people have come to doubt the preservation of the scriptures. Due to a “lack of knowledge” on the subject of bible manuscript corruption and scripture preservation, many modern-day Christians are using a variety of bible versions with little or no forethought of the possible negative repercussions (Hosea 4:6). Throughout the Bible we are warned against tampering with God's words: “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it” (Deut. 4:2). “I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.” (Eccl. 3:14). “Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” (Prov. 30:5,6; Rev. 22:18,19). Are all of the subtle and not so subtle changes in new bible versions just a harmless coincident? Or is there an unholy reason for these changes? In the Holy Bible there are scores of references to handling the word of God deceitfully and corrupting the words of God. Throughout the scriptures there are dozens of references to conspiracies and conspirators. Is God a conspiracy theorist? Or is God telling us something here that we need to pay closer attention to? “There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things;... Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean” (Ezek. 22:25,26)
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first” (II Thess. 2:3).
The Bible says that in the last days “God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:” (II Thess. 2:11). We are told that there shall “come a falling away first” and “there shall be false teachers among you” that “will not endure” the “sound doctrine” of the “pure” “preserve[d]” “words of the LORD” “and shall deceive many” (II Thess. 2:3; II Pet. 2:1; II Tim. 4:1-4; Psa. 12:6; Matt. 24:5,11). Someone might say, “Well, I don't believe that God would allow me to be deceived because I have good honest intentions. And as long as I have a sincere heart the Holy Spirit will confirm the truth to me by giving me a good feeling in my soul (that burning in the bosom, that confirmation in the heart).” If this is true, if truth can be determined by a feeling in our heart, then not only is every bible version true, but every religions' sacred book, including the book of Mormon, is also true. The book of Mormon states that “if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.”(Moroni 10:4). The 2004 edition of the Mormon handbook states, “In answer to our prayers, the Holy Ghost will teach us through our feelings and thoughts...Heavenly Father will answer their prayers, typically through feelings of their hearts and thoughts in their minds.”(Preach the Gospel, p.39). But is this what the Holy Bible teaches? The Bible warns us that “The heart is deceitful above all things” (Jer. 17:9), and “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool” (Prov. 28:26), and “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Prov. 16:25). Jesus' disciples did not trust in their sincere hearts or their good intentions. Neither did they trust in a good feeling in their souls. Jesus' disciples “believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.” (John 2:22). For “three sabbath days” the apostle Paul “reasoned with them out of the scriptures” (Acts 17:2). “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:” (Isa. 1:18)

The Lord tells us in Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. In the Old Testament only a select few were chosen to be high priests, and only the high priest had direct access to God. But when Christ died on the cross and the veil of the temple was torn, the “royal priesthood” passed to all who come to God through faith in Jesus Christ, and now all believers have direct and personal and equal access to God through the “one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (Matt. 27:51; Luke 23:44; Mark 15:37,38; I Pet. 2:9; Heb. 10:19,20; Rom. 1:5; 5:1,2; Eph. 3:12; I Tim. 2:5). The Old Testament priests were given the responsibility of preserving the scriptures which were written by the prophets (Deut. 31). As New Testament priests, all believers are now charged with safeguarding the scriptures which were written by the apostles (I Cor. 11:2; I Tim. 6:20; II Tim. 4:1-4; Rev. 1:3,6). And as “kings and priests unto God” every believer is instructed by God “to search out a matter” and “Prove all things” (Rev. 5:10; Prov. 25:2; I Thess. 5:21). Job said, “the cause which I knew not I searched out.” (Job 29:16). The Lord said, “because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me” (Hos. 4:6). The Bible says “through knowledge shall the just be delivered.” (Prov. 11:9).

Below is a compilation of articles written by various Authors, an assortment of helpful resources, links, and scriptures from the Holy Bible. “In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” (Matt. 18:16; II Cor. 13:1). I believe that much of the information presented here will help the Christian reader to better understand some of the important issues facing us today. Some of the information in the following articles (i.e., the history of the Holy Bible, manuscript evidence, the overt and covert occult influence in the church) is un-known to many in the Christian community. It is this author's sincere prayer that the reader will have the courage to examine the evidence, the integrity to face the facts, and the honesty and humility to believe and accept the truth. I encourage you to search the scriptures daily and re-search the facts with the same commitment demonstrated by the believers of Berea mentioned in the book of Acts. And “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ”; “and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” (I Pet 5:5,6,7; II Pet. 3:18; Psa. 147:3)

| WHAT DO YOU SEE?
| It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. (Psalms 118:8)
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6) I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. (Psalms 119:99,100) |
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13)
| Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me. (Hosea 13:4) |
|
Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. (John 4:42) | |
| The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. (Isaiah 61:1-3) |
|
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. (Luke 4:18-21) | |

It is an undeniable fact that conspiracies exist. It is also an under appreciated fact that most people have been conditioned to pay little or no attention to conspiracies. Misinformation is often circulated in the media and elsewhere for the purpose of leading people away from the truth. “Morals and Dogma”is an official Masonic book written by occultist Albert Pike. Pages 104 and 105 of this Satanic occult book states:“Masonry, like all the religions, all Mysteries, Hermetiscism, and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve to be mislead;”Only the "illuminated ones" at the highest levels of Freemasonry and other secretive societies are privy to the Luciferian agenda of the New World Order!
“So Masonry jealously conceals its secrets, and intentionally leads conceited interpreters astray.” (Morals and Dogma, pp. 104, 105)

Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” (Luke 18:9-14) “We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;” “All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.” (Isaiah 40:17; 64:6). “Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?” (Job 15:15,16) “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalms 139:23,24). “Behold, I am vile” (Job 40:4). “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing” (Romans 7:18). “for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth” (Genesis 8:21). “Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” (Job 42:6). “Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.” (Psalms 90:8). “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:” (Jeremiah 17:9). “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,” (Mark 7:21) “Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.... Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.... Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. ” (Psalms 51:2-13) |

(Jer. 5:26; Col. 1:2) “To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ...” (Col. 1:2) “Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners” (I Tim. 1:15). A saved sinner is not a “Christian sinner”. The term “Christian sinner” is an oxymoron. Oxymoron means “conjoining contradictory terms (as in ‘good devil’)”. A saved sinner is a “converted” sinner, “a new creature” “created in Christ Jesus unto good works,” having “put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him” (Acts 3:19; II Cor. 5:17; Eph. 2:10; Col. 3:9). The apostle Peter said that “if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (I Pet. 4:17,18). The scriptures teach us that there is a definite contrast between “the righteous” that are “faithful in Christ Jesus” and “the sinner” “that obey not the gospel of God” (Eph. 1:1; I Pet. 4:17,18). Jesus said, “Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.” (John 8:34). The apostle John said, “let no man deceive you:... He that committeth sin is of the devil” (I John 3:7,8). “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (I John 2:1). “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (I John 1:9). To “committeth sin”, as Jesus said, is to practice sin. But “if any man sin”, as John said, is to make a mistake and then to be truly sorry for it and “confess our sins” “and forsaketh them” (Prov. 28:13). Jesus said, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” — free from sin (John 8:36): “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” (Rom. 8:2). This is when “sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” (Rom. 6:14,15,16). Sure, “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Rom. 3:23): “For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” (Eccl. 7:20). “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.” (Gal. 2:17). God's grace is not a license to sin, for “the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance” (Rom. 2:4). Jesus said, “They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” (Mark 2:17). “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.” (Gal. 3:22). “Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners”, to open the prison doors of sin and let the captives free (I Tim. 1:15; Isa. 61:1; Luke 4:18). “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (II Cor. 5:17). “to the saints that are in the earth” (Psa. 16:3). (See WHAT LAW WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS?) (Psa. 31:23; 50:5; 85:8; 101:6; 106:16; 116:15; Matt. 25:21,23; Luke 12:42; 16:10,11,12; 19:17; Acts 9:13; 9:32; 9:41; 26:10; Rom. 8:27; 12:13; 15:25,26,31; I Cor. 4:2,17; 7:25; 6:1,2; 16:1,15; II Cor. 1:1; 8:4; 9:1; 9:12; Eph. 1:1; 2:19; 3:8; 6:18; Phil. 1:1; 4:22; Col. 1:2,26; 4:9; I Tim. 5:10; 6:2; II Tim. 2:2; Rev. 2:10; 13:7; 17:14) |

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21). “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.” (Matthew 13:44)
“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” (Colossians 3:2); “if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.” (Psalms 62:10); “Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.” (Proverbs 16:8).
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” (I John 2:15,16)
“My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.” (Proverbs 2:1-5)
“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.” (Psalms 19:7-11)
“Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man‘s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” (Luke 12:15)
“How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!” (Proverbs 16:16)
“This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.” “How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” “Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.” “I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.” (Psalms 119:50,103,105,140,162)
“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” (Revelation 3:17-19). “Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.” (Deuteronomy 8:5)
“Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.” (Psalms 24:3,4). “Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:” (I Timothy 1:5). “Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.” (Mark 10:21). “And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.” (I Corinthians 13:3). “But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” (I John 3:17,18). “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?” (I John 4:20). “Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand.... Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand.... Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.” (Matthew 25:34-46).

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.... Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” (Matthew 24:21,22,29-31)

“And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.”

And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also (Mark 8:34), he said to them all, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” (Luke 9:23). “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:35-37).
“He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.” (John 12:25).
“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” (Matt. 10:37-39). “And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.” (Luke 21:16). “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” (Matt. 10:22)
“Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.... Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” (Luke 6:22,23,26)
“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” (John 15:18,19)
“I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” (John 17:14)
“But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.” (Matt. 13:20.21)

LET US HEAR THE CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE MATTER! “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13,14) |

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (II Tim. 4:1-8)
