“No Condemnation – 101”…Blog. [1/?]
*** (James 1:22) Keep on being = Doers of the Word, = and = ‘Not’ merely hearers = who ‘Deceive’ themselves.
*** (1John 1:8) If we ‘say’ = that we ‘do not’ have any Sin, = we are ‘Deceiving’ ourselves = and = the Truth = is ‘not’ in us.
*** (Acts 17:11) These people were more receptive than those in Thessalonica. They were very willing to receive the Word, and every day they ‘carefully’ examined the Scriptures to see if those things were so [or Not!].
There has been ‘Very Much’… “Wrong Teaching”… about what the Bible says! If you will simply take Your Bible… and follow these Bible Verses; and check out what I am saying JESUS Said… you can ‘Prove It = To Yourself’… “His Truth = from His Holy Word”! As the ages get closer to their end… “WILL” there be “More ‘Truthful’ = Bible Teaching”… or “WILL” there be “Less Truthful = Bible Teaching”…? Do you believe ‘every’ Bible teacher… with your Bible… “Closed or Open”…? That is WHY… “Acts 17:11”… is in the Bible!
*** (Proverbs 14:12) There is a way = which ‘seems’ right to a man, = ‘but’ the end of it = is the ‘ways’ of death.
*** (2Timothy 3:15-16-17) From a child you have known the Holy Scriptures that are able to ‘give’ you the wisdom you need ‘for’ salvation ‘through’ faith in Christ Jesus.
(2Tim 3:16) All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
(2Tim 3:17) so that the man of God may be ‘complete’ and ‘thoroughly equipped’ for every good work.
*** (Acts 11:26) And finding him, he brought him to Antioch. And it happened to them a whole year they were assembled in the church. And they taught a considerable crowd. And the ‘disciples’ were first called “Christian” in Antioch.
Is there “Any Condemnation”… for those that are Christians…? That is ‘not’ a valid question! Why you say…? “Many” who ‘do not’ use the Bible, as their only point of reference; say they are Christians. If you ‘do not’ believe the Holy Word of God; the Bible… ‘How’ then can you call yourself… “Christian?” To clarify completely… “Are you born again; by the Holy Spirit of God”…? Remember, “Many” use Christian language; but do not believe The Bible; nor its Author, the Holy Spirit of God! Did you ‘notice’ in ‘Acts 11:26’… the “Disciples of Christ”… were called Christians…?
*** (John 3:3) Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born again [born from Above], he cannot see the kingdom of God.
*** (Romans 8:9) But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, ‘if’ the Spirit of God dwells in you. But ‘if’ anyone has ‘not’ the Spirit of Christ, he is ‘none’ of His.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having ‘Not’ the [Holy] Spirit.
*** (John 7:38-39) The one who believes in Me [Jesus], as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart."
(Joh 7:39) Now He [Jesus] said this about the [Holy] Spirit, Whom those who were believing in Him were to receive. For the Spirit was ‘not yet’ present, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
*** (Ephesians 1:13-14) in Whom [Jesus] also you, hearing the Word of Truth, the gospel of our salvation, in Whom also believing, you were ‘sealed’ with the Holy Spirit of promise,
(Eph 1:14) Who is the earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
*** (Acts 15:8-9) And God, Who ‘knows’ the hearts, = ‘bore’ them witness, = ‘giving’ them the Holy Spirit even as to us.
(Acts 15:9) And He put ‘no’ difference between us and them [Jew & Gentile], purifying their hearts by faith.
Are you ‘Truly’ Born Again… by the Holy Spirit of God…? No, I did not ask you if… you ‘believe’ you are a Christian! There are “Many”… who wrongly say they are Christian; because they have simply conformed to some ones teaching. Because there are Many False Teachers & Preachers… the “Many” are deceived. How can anyone say that…? Because Christ Jesus did…! Where did He say that…? Don’t you know…? Could it be that ‘YOU’… do not know or believe… The Bible; the Holy Word of God…? A Simple Question: Did Christ Jesus say… “Few” – “Some” – or… “MANY”…?
*** (Matthew 7:21-22-23) Not everyone who keeps saying to Me [Jesus], 'Lord, Lord,' will get into the kingdom of heaven, but ‘only’ the person who keeps doing ‘the will’ of my Father in heaven.
(Mat 7:22) “MANY” will say to Me [Jesus] on that [Last] day, 'Lord, Lord, we ‘prophesied’ in Your name, ‘drove out demons’ in Your name, and ‘performed’ many miracles in Your name, didn't we?'
(Mat 7:23) Then I [Jesus] will tell them plainly, = 'I never knew you. = Get away from Me, you evildoers!
*** (Romans 8:16-17) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.
(Rom 8:17) And if we are children, then we are heirs; heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; so that if we suffer with Him, we may also be glorified together.
*** (John 10:26-to-30) But you ‘did not’ believe = because you are not of My sheep. As I said to you,
(Joh 10:27) My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
(Joh 10:28) And I give to them ‘eternal’ life, and they shall ‘never’ ever perish, and ‘not’ anyone shall pluck them out of My hand.
(Joh 10:29) My Father [God], Who gave them to Me [Jesus] is greater than all, and ‘no one’ is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.
(Joh 10:30) I and the Father are one!
Why am I… covering so much Scripture; simply to delineate between the ‘Christian’ and; those “Truly Born Again” by the Holy Spirit of God…? ‘Because’ Christ Jesus ‘said’, that belief in Him… “Must Be”… “According to the Scripture!” “Nothing More!”… “Nothing Less!” He said it… didn’t “HE”… and you believe “HIM”… don’t you…? Those at Antioch… were “First” Disciples of Christ and what He taught! Then they were called… “Christian!” The Mormons call themselves Christian; but teach that one cannot be redeemed unless they are Water Baptized. They also believe that Lucifer, now Satan; was Jesus’ brother. Who do you believe… the Bible; or some false religion and teaching…?
*** (2John 1:9-10-11) Everyone who ‘does not’ abide in the teaching of Christ ‘but’ goes beyond it ‘does not’ have God. The person who ‘abides in’ the teaching of Christ ‘has’ both the Father and the Son.
(2Jn 1:10) If anyone comes to you = and ‘does not’ bring this teaching, = ‘do not’ take him into your home = ‘or’ even greet him,
(2Jn 1:11) for the ‘one’ who greets him = ‘shares’ in his ‘evil deeds’.
*** (1Thessaloninans 5:21) Prove all things, hold fast to the good.
*** (Matthew 24:23-24-25) Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ! Or, There! Do not believe it.
(Mat 24:24) For false Christs’ and false prophets = will arise and show = great signs and wonders; = so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect.
(Mat 24:25) Behold, I [Jesus] have told you beforehand.
*** (2Peter 2:1) Now there were false prophets ‘among’ the people, just as there ‘also’ will be false teachers ‘among’ you, who will ‘secretly’ introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.
(2Pet 2:2) Many people will follow their damnable ways, and because of them the way of Truth will be maligned.
*** (John 17:17) Sanctify them = through Your Truth. = Your Word is Truth.
About now… you are wondering, ‘What’ has this to do with the topic of …“No Condemnation”…? There is a sect of people… who follow ‘Heretical’ teaching; about “God’s Grace & Mercy.” They ‘wrongly’ believe that the “10-Commandments” are not applicable to the New Testament Believer! According to them; no matter what that believer does… they are Under Grace… and Not Under the Law! These ‘false’ teachers; both men & women; have a very large following. Why…? They simply ‘Grace Away’… “Any Sin”… they ‘chose’ to practice; saying ‘We are under Grace!’
*** (Romans 8:1) There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
*** (Romans 6:1-2) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound?
(Rom 6:2) Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
*** (1John 1:8) If we ‘say’ = that we ‘do not’ have any Sin, = we are ‘Deceiving’ ourselves = and = the Truth = is ‘not’ in us.
*** (1Corinthains 11:30) That's why so ‘many’ of you are weak and sick and a considerable number are dying.
Why are they “Confused”…? Simply put… they are ‘Confusing’ the “POSITION” of those Truly Born Again… with the “PRACTICE”… of the True Child of God! Many ‘do not’ Practice their Position as a Child of God! They seldom spend time with Christ in His Holy Word! They seldom ‘if ever’… ask the Holy Spirit to teach them; from the Holy Word of God! They only listen to a particular Teaching; never comparing Scripture with Scripture to see IF; they are Truly being taught the contiguous TRUTH… flowing throughout the WORD…!

*** (Ephesians 5:9-10-11) For the fruit of the Spirit consists of every form of goodness, righteousness, and truth.
(Eph 5:10) Determine what pleases the Lord,
(Eph 5:11) and have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness. Instead, expose them for what they are.
