Once again I ‘must’ ask the “Question”…? Do “YOU” believe your ‘Church or Denomination’… or do you… Believe… “God and what He has said in His Word, The Bible?” If your doctor told you that you have Cancer, you can say… “I don’t believe you!” Or you could say… “I believe you, what are my Options?” That is how it is with “God and His Word”. ‘YOU’ must ‘personally’ make the Choice to… “Believe HIM, Alone”… or ‘Not’ to believe His Word!
(Hebrews 13:8) Jesus Christ = the same = yesterday = and = today = and = forever.
(Malachi 3:6) For = I am = Jehovah [God], = I = change not. = Because of this = you sons of Jacob = are not destroyed.
Does your ‘Church’ or ‘Denomination’… ordain “Homosexuals” as Pastors? “Many” do and their congregations sit idly by… on the pews and think… ‘nothing’ of it. Mankind changes his mind set to accommodate his sin. Even the ‘Vocabulary’… has changed to accommodate this sin. Instead of using the Bible term, “Homosexual”… the term ‘Gay’… has been substituted to allow, “Political Correctness”… to so contaminate the ‘Church’… so that ‘one’ cannot easily distinguish between… ‘Good & Evil!’ When was the last time your ‘Pastor or Preacher or Priest’… used the “Bible” terminology… “Homosexual?”
(Matthew 7:12-to-15) Therefore = all things, = whatever you desire = that men = should = do to you, = do even so = to them; = for this is = “The Law” and “The Prophets”.
(Matt 7:13) Go in = through = the narrow gate, = for = wide is the gate = and = broad is the way = that leads = to destruction, = and = “MANY” = there are = who go in = through it.
(Matt 7:14) Because = narrow is the gate = and = constricted is the way = which leads to [Eternal] life, = and = there are = “FEW” = who = find it.
(Matt 7:15) Beware of = false prophets = who come = to you = in sheep's clothing, = but = inwardly = they are ravening wolves.
(Isaiah 8:20) To the Law = and = to the testimony! = “IF” = they = ‘Do Not’ = speak = according to = this “Word”, = it is because = no light = is in them.
Once again I ‘must’ ask the “Question”…? Do “YOU” believe your Church or Denomination… or do you… Believe… “God and what He has said in… His Word, The Bible?” Only “Real Bible Christians”… believe God and His Word, the Bible. All ‘others’ are simply… ‘Cultural Christians.’ As the ‘Culture’ changes and degrades… so too, do they follow this ‘pattern of entropy to perdition’. To show you this degradation… I will tell you that “Many”, that claimed to be Christians… got mad at me for the posting of these Blogs about…. “Halloween” and “Harry Potter”

About now, some may be saying… “What has that got to do with Christianity?” It is ‘Plain & Simple’… “Obedience”… to God and to His Word, the Bible. Some of you who had ‘claimed’ you were Christians… got angry with me about these posts. Some of you left and cancelled your FB Friendship with me. No, I did ‘not’ get offended, for you see… “God’s Word” and “Your Obedience” to it… is the “Test of Real Christianity”. IF the Word of God offends you and your Actions… what is Wrong? Is it God’s Word… or is it ‘your’ Actions?
(Luke 4:4) And = Jesus = answered him [Satan], = saying, = It is written = that "man = shall not = live by bread = alone, = ‘but’ = by = every Word = of God."
(1John 2:3-to-6) And = by this = we ‘know’ = that we = have known = Him, = “IF” = we keep = His commandments [Word].
(1Jn 2:4) He = who says, = I have known Him, = and = “Does NOT” = keep = His commandments [Word], = is a “Liar”, = and the Truth = is ‘Not’ = in him.
(1Jn 2:5) But whoever = keeps His Word, = truly = in this one = the love of God = is perfected. = By this = we know = that = we are in Him.
(1Jn 2:6) He who = says = he abides in Him = ought himself = ‘also’ to walk = even as = He walked.
The Word of God… is simply your ‘Test’ of your Love for God. If your ‘walk in life’, (i.e.) your “Actions [Works]”… are ‘not’ consistent with that of Christ Jesus, then perhaps YOU should examine yourself and see… If your belief in “God & Christ Jesus” is… “Really Real?” Obedience to Him and His Word… is the “Test”. If you will read through the Old Testament, Obedience to God’s Word… was the Key to His people, Israel. When they disobeyed… HE, God chastened [Spanked] them. So to the New Testament… those ‘who’ really belongs to God… will be chastened [Spanked] for disobedience… to Him and to His Word.
(1Corinthians 11:30) That's why = so ‘many’ = of you = are weak = and = sick = and = a considerable number = are dying.
(Hebrews 12:6-7-8) For the Lord disciplines [Spanks] = the one = He loves, = and = He punishes = every son = He accepts."
(Heb 12:7) What = you endure = is for the sake = of discipline [training]. = God is treating you = as sons. = Is there a son = whom = his father = does not discipline?
(Heb 12:8) Now = if = ‘you’ = are without = any discipline, = in which = all sons share, = Then = ‘YOU’ = are “Illegitimate” [a bastard] = and = ‘not’ = His sons.
Will you allow… your own human child to get away with “Wrong & Evil?” Absolutely Not, because You love him or her. So too… God, the God of the Bible… will not allow His “Real” Child to continue to do wrong. The Love of God towards us… is simply reflected back to Him… through us… by His Indwelling Holy Spirit… in us… by our “Obedience” to Him and His Word! We are ‘the channel’ for His Love… so that ‘others’ may see His Love… for us, His ‘Real’… “Children of God”.
(Ephesians 3:16-to-21) that = He [God] = would grant you, = according to = the riches of = His glory, = to be strengthened = with might = by His Spirit = in the inner man;
(Eph 3:17) that = Christ = may ‘dwell’ = in ‘your’ hearts = by faith; = that = ‘you’, = being rooted = and = grounded = in love,
(Eph 3:18) ‘May’ be able = to comprehend = with ‘all’ saints = what is = the breadth = and = length = and = depth = and = height,
(Eph 3:19) And = “To Know” = the “Love of Christ” = which passes = ‘knowledge [of Him], = that ‘you’ = might be filled = with ‘all’ = the fullness = of God.
(Eph 3:20) Now = to Him = Who is able = to do = exceeding abundantly = above all = that we = ask or think, = according = to the power [His Holy Spirit] = that works = in us,
(Eph 3:21) to Him = be glory = in the church = by “Christ Jesus” = throughout = ‘all ages’, = forever. = Amen.
May I ask you a Question…? Can your ‘Church or Denomination’… give you ‘these’… or… is it the “Word of God”… that which gives, the True Believer… these “Understandings and Promises”… by the Holy Spirit of God? Obviously these ‘Only’ come directly from God and from His Word, the Bible. These Words of Scripture… are the Truth of God… and are ‘Only’ for those that are “Really”… ‘His!’
(2Peter 1:2-to-11) Grace = and = peace = be multiplied = to you = through = the knowledge of God = and = of Jesus = our Lord,
(2Pet 1:3) according as = His divine power [Holy Spirit] = has given to us = ‘all’ things = that pertain to life = and = godliness, = through = the [Bible] knowledge = of Him = Who has called = us = to glory = and virtue,
(2Pet 1:4) through which = He = has given = to us = exceedingly great = and = precious promises, = so that = by these = ‘you’ = might be partakers = of the Divine Nature, = having escaped = the corruption = that is in the world = through lust.
(2Pet 1:5) But also = in this ‘very thing’, = bringing in = ‘all’ diligence, = filling out = your faith = with virtue, = and = with virtue, = knowledge;
(2Pet 1:6) and = with knowledge = self-control, = and = with self-control, = patience, = and = with patience, = godliness,
(2Pet 1:7) and = with godliness, = brotherly kindness, = and = with brotherly kindness, = love.
(2Pet 1:8) For “IF” = these things = are in ‘you’ = and = abound, = they make ‘you’ = to be ‘neither idle’ = nor = ‘unfruitful = in the [Bible] ‘knowledge’ = of our Lord = Jesus Christ.
(2Pet 1:9) For he = in whom = these things = are ‘not’ present = is “blind” = and = cannot see afar off = and = has forgotten = that he = was purged = from his sins in the past.
(2Pet 1:10) Therefore, = brothers, = rather be ‘diligent’ = to ‘make’ = your “calling and election” = sure =, for “if” you = do these things, = ‘you’ = shall never fall.
(2Pet 1:11) For so = an entrance = shall be ministered =to you = ‘abundantly’ = into = the everlasting kingdom = of our = Lord and Savior = Jesus Christ.
Once again I ‘must’ ask the “Question”…? Do “YOU” believe your Church or Denomination… or do you… Believe… “God and what He has said in His Word, The Bible?” Surely your… ‘Church or Denomination’… cannot give you these things… “2Peter 1:2-to-11”… with Church ‘doctrine’… that differs from the Word of God, the Bible. IF your Church disagrees with the Word of God… “Who is Wrong?” Is it God… or is it that ‘you’… follow what your Church says… and… “Not” of which the Word of God… “Speaks in Truth?”
(John 6:63) It is = the [Holy] Spirit = that makes alive, = the flesh = profits nothing. The Words = that I [Jesus] = speak to you = are Spirit = and = are Life.
(1Corinthians 14:32-33) And = the spirits [True or False] = of the prophets = are subject = to the prophets [True or False].
(1Cor 14:33) For = God = is “NOT” = the author of confusion, = but = of peace, = as in = ‘all’ churches = of the [True] saints.
All Christian Churches… ‘Do Not’… hold to the “Strict Interpretation of the Word of God”, the Bible. “Many”… have adapted to a “Liberal Interpretation” of the Bible… as to ‘Not Offend’ those that would continue to… ‘Liberally practice Sin/Sins’… and ‘still’ be a member of that Church or Denomination. When was the last time your Church or Denomination… practiced Church Discipline… as the Holy Spirit instructed the Corinthian Church? See Chapter 5 and see what the Church was instructed to do…? This practice follows and is in accord with… “Matthew 18:15-to-18”
If you are still reading… these blogs about the “Pseudo [False] Christians”… your heart is open to the Holy Spirit of God and to Bible Doctrine [teaching]. It is the Word of God… that will judge us ‘All’… both the “True Possessors” and ‘False Pretenders’ of the Christian Faith. In the next blog… I will address ‘how’ this works. Until then… I will leave you with these verses.
(Luke 6:46) And = why = do ‘you’ = call Me [Jesus] = Lord, = Lord, = and = do not do = what = I [Jesus] = say?
(James 1:22) Keep on = being = “Doers of the Word”, = and = “Not” = merely hearers = who = ‘Deceive’ = themselves.
(Hebrews 10:38-39) Now, = "the Just = shall live = by Faith. = But = ‘if’ = he draws back, = My [God’s] soul = shall have = ‘no’ pleasure = in him."
(Heb 10:39) But = “WE” = are ‘not’ of those = withdrawing = to destruction [Damnation], = but of those = ‘who’ believe = to the preserving = of the soul.
