But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel
other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! Gal 1:8
Do not take him into your house or welcome
him. 2 John 9-11
Insanity is often mistaken
for spirituality.
Some 30 years ago, Jonathan my friend and fellow
worker was striving with his innermost being to serve God with his hands and
mind. Nothing was working for him spiritually.
He had studied so much of the Eastern religions and teachings that he has been
left confused, depressed and would often say, “Where is God.” Job 35:10
I felt moved to read the Bible “cover to cover”
and write down all I could find out about “Another Gospel” and give it to
him. I am now revisiting that word study
with the aid of dozens of commentaries that I did not have access to back
then. This is the update.
CULT
A religious group that meets regularly; has
an altar; prays to a deity;
points to a different book other than the
Bible, and/or points to a prophet/founder who has “special enlightenment”
not found in the Bible.
- NOTE; The longer a cult
or denomination is around, the more it appears to be “main stream” and has
the earmarks of acceptability among the masses.
“Therefore
come out from them and be separate”, says the Lord. 2 Cor 6:
17
A LITTLE
HISTORY
JESUS CHRIST
PLUS – Rules, Rites, Myths and Traditions
- Immediately, as the Gospel of Jesus
Christ was preached; “another gospel” began.
- This gospel was that
of Jesus Christ “plus”
customs and rites; (circumcision -
hand washing)
- The very first group
was called “Judaizers” who sought to make Jewish Law a part of
Christianity, later there were splinter groups like the “Nicolaitanes” who
added their own legalism. Today we might
call these movements; Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, etc.
- How good is
good? - When are you good enough? -
It’s Jesus Christ plus nothing.
Titus 1:10 -14 – Jesus plus Jewish Myths
10 For there are many rebellious people, mere
talkers and deceivers, especially those of the “circumcision group”.
11 They must be silenced, because they are ruining
whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach-and that for
the sake of dishonest gain.
13 Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that
they will be sound in the faith
14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths
or to the commands of those who reject the truth. NIV
Mark 7:6-7 – Jesus plus
Rules
6 He replied, "Isaiah was right when he
prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "`These people honor me
with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are but
rules taught by men.' NIV
Mark 7:13 – Jesus plus Traditions
13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your
tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like
that." NIV
Mark 7:8 – Tradition
supersedes God’s commands
8 You have let go of the commands of God
and are holding on to the traditions
of men." NIV
Rev 2:6 – The Nicolaitans
– Jesus plus more stuff
6 But you have this in your favor: You hate the
practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. NIV
LITTLE
ANTI-CHRIST
- Long ago certain men marked
by the Antichrist crept
un-notice into the Faith and have turned the grace of God into unbelief
and have denied that Jesus Chris is the Son of God.
- We have all heard
that the Antichrist is
coming; however there are antichrist
already at work in this world. Some
have claimed they were once of the Gospel of Christ; they were not or they
would have continued in the service.
- It was prophesized by
the Holy Spirit that some will leave the Gospel of Christ and listen to
deceiving spirits and demons. These
people will speak lies and put themselves and others in bondage because
their own spirit man has been seared by the hot iron of Satan.
- Some will teach
abstaining from marring and you should “eat this” and “not that”
food which God created for man to receive.
1 John 2:18 -19 – There are many antichrists.
18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as
you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how
we know it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they did not
really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have
remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. NIV
Jude 1:4 – Certain Godless
men slipped into Christian Circles
4 For certain men whose condemnation was
written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are
godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and
deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. NIV
1 Tim 4:1-5 – They teach
do’s and Don’ts – Legalism – Bondage
1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some
will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars,
whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain
from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by
those who believe and who know the truth.
4 For everything God created is good, and
nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and
prayer. NIV
2 Thess 2:3-4 – Do not be
deceived.
3 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way,
for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of
lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over
everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in
God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. NIV
DOUBT AND
UNBELIEF – The Birth
In the very beginning, in the Garden of Eden,
Satan introduced two lies that have continued down through the ages and until
this very moment –
- He introduced doubt
in God’s Word which by itself is enough to rob you of your
salvation.
- You too can become
a god, which is falsely taught today along with re-incarnation.
Gen 3:1 – Did God really
say that?
3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of
the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God
really say, `You must not eat from any tree in the garden'? NIV
Gen 3:5 – You too can
become a God
5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your
eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and
evil." NIV
SELF DESIRE
FORETOLD
- Since the original
sin,
men have been born on this earth and their father is Satan and therefore
they have the desires of their father.
That’s why men believe and are deceived by “false teachings”, it
is their own desires that they are feeding on.
- God recognized this
in the very beginning and set in motion the plan of redemption with Jesus
Christ as the seed that would crush Satan’s head. It was also prophesied by Isaiah the
Prophet and later by the Disciples of Christ that Satan would openly be
defeated at the return of Jesus... (This time is very near.)
- We must receive a new
father or we will surely die.
John 8:44 – The Un-believer’s Father is Satan – father of lies
44 You belong to your father, the devil,
and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the
beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he
lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Gen 3:15 – The plan of redemption is announced to Satan.
15 And I will put enmity between you and the
woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and
you will strike his heel." NIV
Isa 7:14 – The prophets foretold it.
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a
sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will
call him Immanuel. NIV
Rom 16:20 – Satan’s work will be crushed
20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan
under your feet. NIV
John 3:17-19 – Jesus is
sent to the whole world
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to
condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but
whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed
in the name of God's one and only Son. NIV
John 8:24 – You will die in your sin if you do not believe
24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if
you do not believe that I am [the one I claim to be], you will indeed die in
your sins."
THE NEW AGE
MOVEMENT
Addressing “Another
Gospel”, I found the generic term ‘CULT” applied to and encompassing
a lot of groups that range from “a little
different” to “extreme”.
They seem to be broken down into six categories.
(1) Eastern mystical; Hare Krishnas ,
Transcendental Meditation, Rajneesh Ashram
(2) Aberrational-Christian; Children of
God, The Way International, Church of the living word.
(3) Psycho spiritual or self-improvement; Scientology, Silva Mind Control
(4) Eclectic-Syncretistic; Unification Church
(5) Psychic-occult-astral; New Age
Movement, Church Universal & Triumphant, Eckankar.
(6) Institutionalized or established; Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Science.
- I have a full page article
printed in the State newspaper on
- A committee got
together in the Spiritual realm
composed of Jesus, Peter, Paul, John Calvin, Martin Luther, John Wesley,
Confucius and 12 others; Buddha and 12 others, Muhammad and 12 others, and
12 representing the Hinduism religion, Karl Marx and 12 representing
communism. All with individual worshipful
testimonies about Sun Myung Moon.
- This was published in
every city in the world on the same day.
A bunch of money was spent.
- It states that all
confirm that the Reverend Mrs. and Mr. Sun Myung Moon of the
- They also have a letter from God Himself
confirming the same thing. (I am not making this
up.)
- The
name Buddha- literally
means “light bearer”, the same meaning as the name Lucifer.
- Nostradamus
said
the False Prophet would have some kind of connection with the
“Moon”.
Matt 24:5
5 For many will come in my name, claiming, `I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. NIV
Luke 21:8
8 He replied: "Watch
out that you are not deceived. For many
will come in my name, claiming, `I am he,' and, `The time is near.' Do
not follow them. NIV
- A movement must stand
or fall on the story of their leader; such as Joseph Smith & Brigham Young (Mormons), Ellen G. White ( 7th
day Adventist) and Mary Baker Eddie (Christian
Science) – What story does their lives tell?
- Joseph Smith life
reads like a “made for TV soap opera”. -
I just can’t cover it all here.
THE EMERGING or EMERGENT CHURCH
– RABBIT TRAIL
- Takes its name from the
changing ideas in our modern cultures – The Catholic Church gave rise
to these pagan spiritual practices which have now permeated into most
dominations.
- The old forms of the
Gospel no longer communicates with the new generation of today and
therefore new modes of expressing the Gospel to a post modern mindset are
needed.
- The
Social Gospel
– Fix things in this world now - This movement contains a great diversity in
beliefs and practices, sacred rituals, missionary living, good works and
political and social activism, with a high emphasis on the
- Subjectivity over
objectivity
- The deconstruction of modern
Christian thinking; Scriptures are not inspired, but are only from the
minds of men - Systematic Theology prevents unity.
- Images over words – “Doctrines Divide”; The Bible is
watered down and compromised in order to unify and not offend the seeker.
- Feelings over truth - Personal experience defines and
interprets what truth actually is.
- Spirituality over
Religion
– Unity among people from
different religions and ethnic backgrounds. Everyone is connected to God – All
worship same God, just different names.
- Outward over inward – Diversity and cross pollination
of religious traditions in the expression of corporate worship makes you a
better Christian.
- Breath Prayers; Chanting, God is breath – (Buddhist and Hindu Gods.)
- Nobody goes to Hell – Emphases that God Repairs, Refines,
Rebuilds and Rebirths.
Matt 7:15-20
15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come
to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
16 By their fruit you
will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from
thistles?
17 Likewise every good
tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot
bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not
bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. NIV
2 Cor 6:14 -16
14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do
righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have
with darkness?
15 What harmony is there
between Christ and Belial? What does a
believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16 What agreement is there
between the temple of God
1 Cor 10:20
20 No, but the
sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with
demons. NIV
- Rebirth and Reborn are different - Rebirth is
the doctrine of reincarnation and Karma.
- Born
Again
for the believer is not an arrival – It’s a beginning. The bearer of the torch does not follow
– They lead and light the way
for others who chose to follow.
Matt 5:14-16
14 "You are the light of the world. A city
on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Neither do people light
a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the
house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that
they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. NIV
Matt 6:22-23
22 The eye is the lamp of
the body. If your eyes are good, your
whole body will be full of light.
23 But, if your eyes are
bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
NIV
John 8:12
12 When Jesus spoke again
to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the
light of life." NIV
John 5:19
19 Jesus gave them this
answer: "I tell you the truth, the
Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father
doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. NIV
Should we
judge those who are members
of what we deem to be “a cult”?
THE UNBELIEVER
We have two different standards concerning our relationships with others.
- UN-BELIEVERS: If they do not know
Jesus, we are NOT to judge nor condemn them, but we are to be
merciful and love these people. We
are to do good and pray for them that their soul might be snatched away
from the father of lies, Satan.
- These are people that
do NOT embrace the teachings of
Jesus Christ. They are different
from those that have accepted Jesus, but have added other prophets or
teachings.
Luke 6:37 – It is not our place to judge the unbeliever
37 "Do not judge, and you will not be
judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned NIV
Rom 12:20 – Treat the un-believer well
20 On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry,
feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you
will heap burning coals on his head."
NIV
Luke 6:27-28 – Pray for
them
27 "But I tell you who hear me: Love your
enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those
who mistreat you. NIV
THE BELIEVER
- BELIEVERS: If someone has been received into
the fellowship of Christ and has claimed a new father and claims
his old life has died and that he is born again, but then brings in
doubt, disputes, “deviations” of the teachings, or perhaps
is still living in sin; then he has condemned himself already.
- Separate your self
and do not fellowship with those that corrupt the Gospel.
Gal 1:6-9 – Turning to a different
gospel they are condemned.
6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting
the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a
different gospel-
7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some
people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of
Christ.
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should
preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally
condemned!
9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If
anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him
be eternally condemned! NIV
2 Cor 6:14-15 –Don’t fellowship with those corrupting the Gospel.
14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.
For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can
light have with darkness?
15 What harmony is there between Christ and
Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? NIV
2 Cor 6:17 –
Separate from presenters of a different
doctrine.
17 "Therefore come out from them and be
separate, says the Lord.
NIV
DO WE SHOOT OUR WOUNDED?
JUDGING THE
BELIEVER
- Judging or “cursing”
was introduced in the “Mosaic Law” by Moses. This covered everything from sex sins;
to leading the blind astray. Read the
whole chapter - Deut 27:1
- Cursing is not
someone using profane language, but is actually to excommunicate
them from the fellowship of the body in order to bring them to their
senses.
- We are to judge
fellow believers and discipline those who are straying from the
scriptures.
- I was concerned that
cursing someone was judgmental on my part, but I found out that we are required
to judge those within the body of Christ, not those outside.
- This is where we get
the saying… “Christians shoot their
wounded”… Hold that thought… more on this later.
1 Cor 5:1-3 – Discipline
those among you who are in sin
1 It is actually reported that there is sexual
immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A
man has his father's wife.
2 And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have
been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this?
.NIV
1 Cor 5:12– We are to judge fellow Christians who are in sin.
12 What business is it of mine to judge those
outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
13 God will judge those outside. "Expel
the wicked man from among you."
NIV
Deut 27:13-26 – Curse
those in the body who do not repent.
13 And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal
18 "Cursed is the man who leads the blind
astray on the road."Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
20 "Cursed is the man who sleeps with his
father's wife, for he dishonors his father's bed." Then all the people
shall say, "Amen!"
26 "Cursed is the man who does not uphold the
words of this law by carrying them out." Then all the people shall say,
"Amen!" NIV
1 Cor 5:5 – Rebuke sin
that he might be saved.
5 hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful
nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord. NIV
SILENCE
THOSE WITH ITCHING EARS
- As the last days come upon us, men
will fall away from the Gospel because their ears itch for the
fables of the many false teachers.
Men will fall away because they seek doctrine according to their
own desires.
- Stop the mouths of those among you
that profess to know God, but are subverting whole households with false
teachings and fables of men. They
are an abomination to God. Rebuke
them so they will return to sound doctrine.
- If you hang around
with friends that have these bad habits, you will soon compromise your own
good habits.
2 Tim 4:3-4 – Your ears
itch to hear what suit your own desires.
3 For the time will come when men will not put up
with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather
around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want
to hear.
4 They will turn their ears away from the truth
and turn aside to myths. NIV
Titus 1:10 -16 – Their actions deny God – Silence them
10 For there are many rebellious people,
mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision
group.
11 They must be silenced, because they are
ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach-and that
for the sake of dishonest gain.
15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those
who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their
minds and consciences are corrupted.
16 They claim to know God, but by their actions
they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing
anything good. NIV
1 Cor 15:33 – Birds of a feather flock together
33 Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts
good character." NIV
EXCLUDE FROM
THE FELLOWSHIP
- Exclude the man from
the fellowship who does not love the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Avoid all who cause
divisions and offenses and speak contrary to the Gospel. These people deceive the hearts of the
simple.
- It is possible for
folks to look like they are supporting the Gospel of Christ when actually
that are possessed by an evil spirit.
1 Cor 16:22 – The unbeliever is cursed.
22 If anyone does not love the Lord-a curse be on
him. Come, O Lord!
2 Cor 6:14 -15 – Do not be in partnership with an unbeliever.
14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.
For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can
light have with darkness?
15 What harmony is there between Christ and
Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? NIV
Rom 16:17 -18 – Watch out for smooth talk and flattery
17 I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those
who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary
to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.
18 For such people are not serving our Lord
Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they
deceive the minds of naive people. NIV
Acts 16:16 -18 – Evil spirits will seek validation by association.
16 Once when we were going to the place of prayer,
we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she predicted the
future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling.
17 This girl followed Paul and the rest of us,
shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling
you the way to be saved."
18 She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul
became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, "In the
name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!" At that moment the
spirit left her. NIV
WITHDRAW
FROM A BROTHER
- There are many
deceivers in the world who no not confess that Jesus is the Son of God,
they are of the Antichrist.
- We must withdraw
ourselves from “Brothers in Christ” who are deceived away from the
Gospel. Do not count them as the enemy yet, but warn them so
that they will return to the truth
- NOTE: In the last
days; because they did not receive the love of the Gospel of Christ; God
will send a strong delusion to those that desire these lying wonders and
signs and they will ultimately be destroyed, condemned and separated from
God.
2 John 7 – You are an
antichrist if you do not acknowledge Christ
7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus
Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person
is the deceiver and the antichrist. NIV
2 Thess 3:6 – Keep away
from brothers who live after the world
6 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command
you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does
not live according to the teaching you received from us. NIV
2 Thess 3:14-15 – Don’t
associate with brothers that rebel.
14 If anyone does not obey our instruction in this
letter, take special note of him. Do not associate with him, in order that
he may feel ashamed.
15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn
him as a brother.
DON’T EVEN “DO
LUNCH” WITH THEM
- If there are people
in the fellowship who are in sin, cast them out of the body, leave
them to Satan’s followers that thy might see the light and their spirit be
saved. Purge them out, that the
body might be pure.
- If a man calls
himself a brother in Christ, but lives in sin, have nothing to
do with him. Do not even sit at
the same table with him for lunch.
1 Cor 5:1-8 –
Excommunicate one who is in sin – to save his soul.
1 It is actually reported that there is sexual
immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: …
5 hand this man over to Satan, so that the
sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the
Lord.
6 … Don't you know that a little yeast works
through the whole batch of dough?
7 Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new
batch without yeast-as you really are.
1 Cor 5:11 – Don’t even have lunch with the deceiver
11 But now I am writing you that you must not
associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually
immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With
such a man do not even eat. NIV
DON’T LET
THEM IN YOUR HOUSE
- If someone does not
live in the doctrine of Christ, then he doesn’t have God in his life. If he brings a different doctrine to
your house, do not let him in.
Don’t even shake his hand; if you welcome him, you share in
his evil deeds.
- If you want to be
friends with those who do not receive the PURE Gospel, then you make
yourself an enemy of God.
2 John 9-11 – Don’t let
them in your house
9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in
the teaching of Christ does not have God;.
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this
teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him.
11 Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked
work. NIV
James 4:4 – The world is
the enemy of God
4 You adulterous people, don't you know that
friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a
friend of the world becomes an enemy of God NIV
DON’’T PRAY
FOR ONE THAT HAS RENOUNCED THE GOSPEL
- It is rightful that
we pray for a brother that is in sin provided the sin is not leading to
the death of his Spirit. But we are
not to pray for a man that has received and then renounced the
Gospel, because he has the Spirit of the Antichrist.
1 John 5:16-20 – Sin that
leads to death
16 If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that
does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to
those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death.
I am not saying that he should pray about that.
17 All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin
that does not lead to death.
18 We know that anyone born of God does not
continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one
cannot harm him.
19 We know that we are children of God, and that
the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has
given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in
him who is true-even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal
life. NIV
BLESSING AND
CURSING
- Satan uses the
scriptures against the Christian by quoting, “Blessing and Cursing”
should not come of the same mouth”, but, I say to you this is in reference
to men made in the likeness of God.
A man that teaches a different Gospel is not walking in the
likeness of God and should be cursed, he is an antichrist.
- Curse any man or
Angel that preaches a JESUS “PLUS” Gospel.
- If you are born of
the faith and guard yourself by studying and doing God’s Word then Satan
will not be able to touch you.
James 3:10 – Blessing and cursing
10 Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and
cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. KJV
Gal 1:6-12 – Let him be
eternally condemned; Damned
6 I am astonished that you are so quickly
deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a
different gospel-
7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some
people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert
the gospel of Christ.
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should
preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally
condemned!
9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If
anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him
be eternally condemned!
11 I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I
preached is not something that man made up.
12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I
taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. NIV
MODERN DAY
PROPHETS
- Elizabeth Clare
Prophet
of “The Church Universal and
Triumphant” refers to herself as a prophetess. God says she is adulterating the gospel,
but will give her a chance to repent and if not, He will heap tribulation
on her and her followers. My friend Jonathan went
there.
- John the Baptiser was
the last of the prophets.
- Do not be misled,
special knowledge of the scripture does not come from private
interpretation at the will of men or women; but from Holy men of God who
speak as the Holy Spirit moves them.
- You do not need
special “Enlightened” people to teach you to receive the anointing of
God. It’s already in you and as you
study God’s word it will be clear who has the righteousness of God and who
is an antichrist. You can be an antichrist and not even know it.
Matt 11:13-15 – John was
the Last of the Prophets
13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied
until John.
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the
Elijah who was to come. 15 He who has ears, let him hear. NIV
20 You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls
herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants
into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
22 So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I
will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they
repent. NIV
2 Peter 1:20-21 – The
Bible is God speaking through man.
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy
of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation.
21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will
of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
NIV
1 John 2:27-28 – Remain in
the One who anointed you.
27 As for you, the anointing you received from him
remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his
anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not
counterfeit-just as it has taught you, remain in him.
28 And now, dear children, continue in him,
so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his
coming. NIV
SECRET
TEACHINGS
- If friends share
doctrine with secret teachings - get away - they are of the Antichrist.
- Changing just one
word of the Gospel can pervert its entire meaning. Satan would have us to get into
“disputes” over the different version of the Bible. Just keep in mind that
we must prove scripture with scripture; precept upon precept; line upon
line. Isaiah
28:10
- There has always been
false religious leaders among the churches who secretly bring in false
teachings and destructive departures from the Gospel and many are deceived
because they just don’t know – Lack of knowledge.
- These false friends
or leaders speak contrary about things of the Gospel that they
themselves do not understand and they will perish in their own
corruption
- If you practice righteousness, you are righteous. If you continue in sin, you are of Satan and God will destroy you and the works of Satan.
1 John 3:7-8 – Christ came
to destroy the works of Satan
7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you
astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.
8 He who does what is sinful is of the devil,
because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of
God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. NIV
John 18:20 – Christ did nothing in secret.
20 "I have spoken openly to the world,"
Jesus replied. "I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all
the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. NIV
Gal 5:9-10 – It only takes
a little worm to rot the whole apple
9 "A little yeast works through the whole
batch of dough." NIV
Isa 28:10 – Prove
scripture with scripture.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon
precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: KJV
2 Peter 2:1-2 – There will
be false teachers – many will follow
1 But there were also false prophets among
the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly
introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought
them-bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2 Many will follow their shameful ways and
will bring the way of truth into disrepute. NIV
Hos 4:6 – We are destroyed
because we just don’t know.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:
KJV
2 Peter 2:12 – They blaspheme because they are ignorant.
12 But these men blaspheme in matters they do
not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born
only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish. NIV
NEW AGE MOVEMENT – RABBIT
TRAIL

take out” the restraining force that is stopping peace and the unity of minds on the earth. This restraint is the Fundamentalist
Christians who claim that there is only one way to God. The Warriors believe that they
are patriotic and are doing God’s will by killing Christians.
This is so that the Christians souls can be recycled and reincarnated to

Mark -
This will be something sought after and highly desired and will be
a badge of honor. You will be known as An Enlightened One.
It most probable will be a tattoo worn just above the eyebrow line
in the center of the forehead (the
chakra point) so everyone will know your status. A microchip implant
might also be a part of this mark.
This will be known as “the third eye”, all knowing and all
seeing. This is the point of

Already on the scene is a triangle with a small circle
on the inside and a large circle on the outside surrounding it.

- Seven
Major Teachings:
1) Sin and evil do not exist; peace and love are
the ultimate realities
2) All religions lead to the same goal. – All
have equal merit.
3) The Ancient Wisdom of Babylon is the basis
for all truth – not the Bible.
4) Jesus is not the only Christ or Messiah and
is definitely not God. –
5) God is cosmic, an energy force – He is not
personal
6) Man is God himself – His creative powers need
to be awakened
7) Man can and should receive spiritual
instruction from the spirit world.
- Twin
Teachings: There is no Hell - There is no Satan or
demons.
- The law
of rebirth –
This is not the same as “Born Again” as one reconciled to God - Man does
not die, but is endlessly reborn till he perfects himself to qualify for Nirvana;
endless rest.
- The Deception: The enlightened one,
through imaging and visualization can energize and command Deity spirits
to serve and do their bidding.
Their conscience becomes seared and they desire the mark, then they
find out the spirits are not deity, but demonic; but it’s too late.
- At the end God will send a
deluding Spirit to harden their hearts so they will be unable to
repent. He gives them what they
want.
- LSD – Drugs are
encouraged to “Open up Channels of Communications” with religious spirits.
- Dollar
Bill
Check out the all seeing eye on the dollar bill; this was central to the
Egyptian Mystery Religion, the great sun god Horus with his third
eye given to him by his mother the goddess of

views
man as the measure of all things – Man beginning from himself - with no
knowledge except what he himself can discover – no standard outside of
himself - All wisdom is contained within oneself.
- Bookstores: If you think this is
just whimsical thinking, check out the bookstores with the sections on New
Age, witchcraft and the magic arts. See the New Age shops at the flea
market with “smoking accessories” in the back room. Look at the T-shirts and jewelry that’s
being marketed.
JEVOHAH WITNESS – RABBIT TRAIL
- Jehovah’s Witness
theology states that God is a single person not a trinity.
Trinitarianism is a demonic doctrine and the pastors that teach
this are anti-christ’s
and their churches are run by Satan.
- God does not know all
things and can’t be but in one place at a time.
- Michael the
- When Christ died, His
body was not resurrected, but it dissolved into gases and disappeared
forever. After three days he
appeared in a fake body so His disciples would believe.
- The cross is a pagan
sex symbol. Christ was actually killed
on a stake.
- They have their own
Bible – The NWT, the New World Translation of the Holy
scriptures. Four out of the five
translators did not know Greek nor Hebrew, but they were “experienced” JW
followers and were anointed to do the work.
- The
Watchtower
claims they are the only channel of God’s truths and they alone can
interpret God’s word. There is no salvation apart from following the NWT
bible.
- When the Watchtower
Society changes their doctrines, they say it’s because the “light
of truth” is getting brighter.
- For your prayers to
be heard
you must use the correct name for God, the name Jehovah.
- They claim Jesus
returned invisibly to earth in 1914 and has now returned to heaven till
the millennium, when the dead will be resurrected and have a chance for
eternal salvation by following the principals of the Jehovah Witnesses.
- There is a place in
heaven for a special group of 144,000
Jehovah’s Witnesses; they will have immortal
life and spirit bodies.
All other will have just everlasting
life and resurrected bodies which still need to eat and drink.
- They have
restrictions:
No blood transfusions – must refuse to vote or join the military – do not
salute the flag or sing the national anthem – do not celebrate birthdays
or Christmas – must have a schedule to canvass door to door and solicit
contributions.
- If you leave the
organization, you are an apostate and are to be shunned; your remaining
family will not be allowed to speak to you.
- People do not join a
religion on doctrinal grounds, rather they mainly join because the have
found caring friends and a warm fellowship. Some cults utilize “Stars” to
help in recruitment like Shirley
MacLaine for the New Age Movement or Donnie and Marie Osmond for the Mormons and Tom Cruise for the Christian
Scientist.
- All cults do not have
all the same characteristics. Some
stress moral activities, others lifestyle; the method of proselytizing;
manifestation of Spiritual Gifts, Spirit Guides, Self denial; Rejection of
the upper classes values; Chanting, Channeling, Visions, Scientific,
Philosophical and Communal methods and Sex freedom religions; then there
is bizarre cultic behavior such as Jim Jones. - We simply cannot lump all
cults together.
- Cults are referred to
as; Youth Nappers, Brain Washers and Mind Benders.
Matt 15:14 – The blind are leading the blind
14 And if the blind lead the blind, both shall
fall into the ditch. KJV
MORMON – RABBIT TRAIL
- The
Book of Mormon
says that the Bible is so imperfect that instead of leading men to
God, it actually causes them to stumble. Mark Twain describes The
Book of Mormon as “Chloroform in Print”.
- Jesus
Christ
lived too long ago to relate to anyone today, especially when you have a
living prophet like Joseph Smith.
- Joseph
Smith
continually informed his followers, as God’s chosen leader that he alone
had the right to revelation concerning the “whole church truth”, and every
spirit that did not confess this is of the antichrist.
- The
“wife” revelation was given that Joseph and other faithful Mormon men were
permitted to have as many wives as they pleased. Before he died, Joseph had between 27
and 48 wives based on the documentation from the Mormon Church and other
historians. He had married 12 women
whose husbands were still living.
It was share and share alike – He said, “I did not introduce
polygamy, I just merely restored it”, and not only did God tolerate it,
but that God required it.
- The
abstinence
from tobacco, coffee, tea and alcohol is essential for entrance into
the celestial kingdom.
- A
Mormon water tradition is that, in the beginning God blessed water, but cursed
it in the last days – many older Mormons will not get near any body of
water greater than a bathtub.
- Evil
Spirits
in a person can be detected as they “emit” an unpleasant odor and
produce a “shock” to the observer.
- The
earth was created by Jesus by “Organizing the existing Elements”.
- There
are moon dwellers according to Joseph Smith, which are six feet tall and
dress like Quakers and live to be 1,000 years old.
- Aaronic
Priesthood – When
ordained, through adoption, their blood is changed and they become
the Jewish sons of Levi.
- Priesthood
privileges
were refused to blacks. No
man with even a single drop of Negroid blood in his veins could hold the
Mormon priesthood. On
- 144,000
- The
Mormons claim that they ONLY are the 144,000 who inherit eternal life and
the remainder of their denomination will just live in
- Three
distinct Gods
– God the Father – God the Son – God the Spirit (the spirit does not have a body as does the Father and Son.)-
(There is not a three in one trinity)
- God had
many wives – A
heavenly Mother is logically a necessity. Only a part of the entities born to God
are on earth, the rest are in many other worlds.
- God is one of the
countless gods in existence. – There are also Mother gods.
- God has a body of
flesh and bones – He has a God nature and a flesh nature.
- God
evolved from
a lower form of life as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who evolved into Gods.
- God was once a man,
but has been exalted. – We too can become exalted – become a god.
- Mary was not a virgin – The Bible is in
error. Jesus had two fathers – Joseph and God Himself in bodily form -
Mary was one of God’s many wives.
- Jesus is the
spiritual brother of Lucifer and so is man.
- Pre-existence – We existed in
heaven with God our Father and our Mother before we became human. There was never a time when man did not
exist and there will never be a time when he will cease to exist. - Each person was self existent and
coequal with God. It was necessary
that at our birth, the knowledge of “pre-existence” be removed. This is
called The veil of memories. - The
fall of mankind was a blessing in the progression of humanity to the
level of Godhood.
- The
Book of Mormon
corrects the translated errors in the Bible. The scriptures in the Bible
that are correctly translated are the word of God –
- The
lost books of
the Bible that Joseph refers to are: Book of the Covenant - Book of Jasher
- Book of the Acts of Solomon - Book of Jehu - Acts of Uzziah - Sayings of
the Seers - Third Corinthians - Second Ephesians - The Epistle to the
Laodiceans and of course the Bible which contains supplementary text.
- Scripture
include;
Book of Mormon - Doctrine & Covenants – Pearl of Great Price -the
Bible.
- The
Gospel
is the laws and ordinances of the Mormon Church.
- Works – “Once we have been
resurrected, it will be our own efforts, not Christ’s sacrifice
that will be the deciding factor.” Mormons are promised that they will
become gods with angels in subjection to them. By joining the Mormon Church, a person
makes himself eligible for eternal life.
- Salvation is achieved by
obedience to Mormon laws and ordinances.
- Baptism in the “Mormon
Church” washes away all your sins - An agreement to “tithe” is reported to
be necessary before baptism.
- Baptism
for the Dead is
practiced in their secret temple rites according to the “Doctrine and
Covenants”. Mormons emphasize that the
family succession of baptized persons must form an unbroken chain
back to Adam. – They must research their own genealogy. – The
doctrine of vicarious baptism
is a way to save someone who has already died.
- Secret
temple vows – Not
to reveal the secrets – “The penalty is demonstrated by a cutting motion
across the chest with the right hand.
The hand grip is given by pressing the thumb in the hollow between
the first and second knuckles of the Hand.” – There are signs, tokens,
penalties, and grips - Symbols like the Compass and Square - Sounds identical to the Masonic order to me.
Just saying.
- Unpardonable sin – Accepting
Mormonism and then rejecting it.
- Prophecies of Joseph
Smith: – The U.S. Government would be overthrown unless it redressed the
wrong doing to Mormons to their satisfaction - Christ would return in 1891
– Missouri Temple would be built in his generation - All nations would be
involved in the American Civil War –The earth will tremble and the sun
hidden in “not many days” – None of these things happened.
- Bible - If the thing a prophet
says does not come to pass, he is a false prophet.
1 Tim 1:3-4 – Endless
genealogies – Mormons baptisms
3 Not to teach false doctrines any longer
4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless
genealogies. NIV
FREEMASONRY
- Freemasonry has all
the ear marks of the NEW AGE
MOVEMENT.
- History of Masonry is
that of Philosophy, it is derived from the mystery religions
of old.
- Masonry is the
ancient worship of Baal, with just modern new titles.
- They have spin off
organizations like the Eastern Star for women and the De Molay for teenage
boys.
- They state they are a
universal religious organization that is open to all beliefs.
- Christianity is
reduced to just one of the many accepted religions.
- What ever you
honestly believe – Is truth.
- They have secret
oaths and secret rites. – (The
ministry of Christ was public and open.)
- The Masons point to a
different person other than Jesus (Hiram Abiff) and point to
books other than the Bible (The Kabalah). - By definition;
the Masons are a cult.
- Their symbols, by their
own admission are presented to mislead the initiate.
- Nature is God - They pray to G.A.O.T.U. Great Architect of the
Universe who is the highest God. (Higher
than the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.)
- The God of the
Christian is reduced to just another one of the false gods.
- The Bible may be
placed on the altar in a “Christian” Lodge, but cannot be read from – ever
- Modified passages are
used in ceremonies with the name of Jesus Christ stricken out.
- Prayer is encouraged,
but the name of Jesus Christ can not be uttered
- Jesus Christ was a
noble reformer and no more.
- The Messiah may or
may not have already come – It’s not for the Mason to decide.
- Climbing the Masonic
Ladder of “good works” gains you salvation.
- The
Catholic Church points
to the Virgin Mary as the mediator between God and man, reducing Jesus to
infant status. They pray to images
of Saints, they “sign” the cross, have rosary beads for rote prayers,
confessions to Priest and prayers for the dead. The Bible says, DO NOT have any graven
images, it says Jesus is our mediator between God and man, and when you are
dead, its’ all over. No prayers or money can change the destination.
- Immaculate
Conception – refers
to the conception of Mary inside the womb of her VIRGIN mother thus preserving her from sin and is the
“co-redeemer” of man with her son Jesus.
- Catholic
Catechism – The
priest really and truly forgive sins by virtue of power given him
by Jesus Christ. The pope is not
only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ
himself, hidden in a veil of flesh.
- Catholic
ten commandments – The second commandment forbidding graven images is
omitted;
with the 10th commandment split into two, making it ten again. (See Wickapedia)
- Martin
Luther – Said
the Papacy is the seat of the Antichrist
John Calvin - We call the Roman
pontiff the antichrist
John Knox - The Papacy is the very
antichrist, and son of perdition.
John Wesley - He is the son of
perdition, claiming the prerogatives of God alone.
Perdition.
- The name
of the Pope – vicarious filii dei meaning “vicar”, is “the
replacement of Christ on earth”. In
Latin, the number is: Vicarious (112), Filii (53) Dei (501) equals
666. Just
saying.
NAZISM / NEW AGE – RABBIT
TRAIL
- Nazism
revived –
Using a comparison of the New Age roots; the new age movement is identical
to Hitler’s Third Reich, Nazism. It lived once, and then it died and is
now coming back to life in the Antichrist. Revelation
17:8
- Hitler held to the secret doctrine
that the Aryan society was a master race from Atlantis who took quantum
leaps in superior intelligence over the other races. The inferior races needed to be purged. – New Age “secret
doctrines” come from Atlantis.
- Nazism believed in a pure Aryan master race that had evolved into a superior spiritual species. – New
age teaches that they have evolved into a “new species”
called “homo noeticus” – Jews are from a different planet and Blacks and
Orientals are from a different root race.
- A Blood
Taint rest on the Jews that needs to be corrected – New
Age; The Jews have forfeited their privilege and must pass
through fires of purification. The Messiah will not be Jewish.
- Nazism called murdering Jews, a “Cleansing action” – New
Age supports a “cleansing action” to get rid of any group
that stands in the way of “spiritual unity”.
- Nazism sought a New World Order – New Age, same thing
- Hitler had “Mein Kampf” or “My Plan” to rule – New Age has
“My Plan” of “the Lord Maitreya”.
- Nazism used “mystery teachings” of the East. – New Age, same
thing
- Occultism
and mind expansion was the study of the
Nazi Occult Bureau and the SS Occult Bureau - New Age
movement embraces the Occult and mind expansion.
- Quest
for a higher consciousness; the Holy Grail - New
Age – same quest.
- Hitler used drugs for mind expansion – New Age
indorses LSD for the same reason.
- Belief in the Law of Karma and reincarnation. - New Age follows the same
thing.
- Nazism holds to the belief that the gods
live in Shamballa – New
Age, same thing.
- Hitler was an “Initiate” of the Occult - New
Age requires a Luciferic type “Initiation”.
- Hitler had a militia of young “Brown Shirt” men, trained in martial arts to
patrol streets – New Age has the same thing, one group is called the “Guardian Angels”. There are many.
- Nazism believed in breeding children
controlled by the state – Leading New Agers advocate
parents to be licensed in order to have children. The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow.- Cumbey
Rev 17:8
8 The beast, which you
saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the
Abyss and go to his destruction. The
inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life
from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast,
because he once was, now is not, and yet will come. NIV
MUSLIM MESSIAH – RABBIT
TRAIL
- Louis
Farrakhan,
leader of the Black Muslim movement said that Elijah Mohammed had
risen up inside of him; in essence he claims to be “the second Messiah”.
- Muslims
believe
Jesus, the son of Mary said, “I am a messenger of “Allah”, bringing
good tidings of a messenger who comes after me, whose name is ‘the
praised one”, Mohammad”.
- The
Quran
given to the “Last Prophet” Mohammad, is the perfect
revelation of Allah.
- The
Hadith
is a collection of sayings, deeds and behavior of Mohammad including;
eating, sleeping, praying, mating, planning revenge on his enemies and
dispensing justice. - These actions were considered the actions of
“Allah”. A good Muslim will do
these same things as well as name their children Mohammad. The Hadith in some sects is followed
more than the Quran and its sayings can supersede the Quran.
- Sura 19:96 – Allah
has no affection for any creature.
Love is conditional on good works.
- Sura 5:75 – Christ, the son of Mary was no
more than a messenger. Many were the messengers that passed away before
him.
- Sura 4:157 – Christ
did not die on the cross, but was made to appear so.
- Sura 3:129 – Allah
has predestined some to paradise and some to hell.
- Sura 32:13 – Allah
sends to hell whomever he wants. He
created a multitude of spirits and men specifically for the purpose of
sending them to hell.
- Sura 9:5 – When the
sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find
them, seize them; lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war).
- Hadith 2:483 – I have
been ordered to fight the people till they say, Allah be
worshipped.
- Sura
- Sura
- Hadith
- Mohammad: “He, who
relinquishes his faith; kill him.
I have been ordered by Allah to fight with people till they testify
there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger”.
- Hadith 1:505 – Anyone
who dies in a Jihad will have a prominent place in paradise.
- Hadith 9:459 – Anyone
who engages in a holy war (jihad)
will be admitted into paradise with his reward of booty.
- Sura 78:33 – In
paradise man can have many women.
- Ayatollah
Khomeini: “The
purest joy in Islam is to kill and to be killed for Allah”.
- There can be no peace
with the Jews or Christians or any other non-Islamic people; and that if
peace must be made, only a truce is permissible and that “for a maximum of
10 years as an expedient to hone our swords, whet our blood and
strengthen our will.”
- Islamic
Extremist
is a misnomer - If you follow Islam, the Quran and the Hadith, then none
are extremist, they ALL hate
non Muslims; their mission is to convert or kill us in the name of Allah.
- Note: The term Allah
(Arabic) is a contraction “Al”
meaning sole or only, and “lah” meaning God. Before the birth of Islam, Allah was a
term used by pagan religions for their different gods. This term provided a common ground
between pagan Arabs, Muslims, Jews and Christians. Muslims have 99 names
for God with the word Allah connected to it. Muslims insist that this is the same God
as of the Jews; the God of Abraham.
The name Allah is deemed more powerful than the name YAHWEH. - Christians
reject this all this.
- Side
Bar: Muslims believe it is the will of God
for Islam to rule the world.
Islamic law stipulates that to fulfill Muhammad’s task, every
“infidel domain” must be considered a territory of war. Moris

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST –
RABBIT TRAIL
- The Seventh Day
Adventist
say the Lord’s Day or the Sabbath is on Saturday and this is
THE doctrine their
Church hangs their hat on. If you
celebrate the Lord’s Day on Sunday, you are doomed to spend eternity in
Hell.
- Since a 24 hour day
was not made till the 4th day of creation, I’m not sure how
anyone can tell which day is which. This doctrine “yokes” the believer in
the bondage of legalism. Why would we go back to these
“beggarly elements” when Christ has set us free?
- We are not made holy
by keeping man made rules that somehow make us righteous.
- The “Sabbath”
originated with the Ten Commandments and Moses on
- The Jews had many
Sabbaths; The first day of the
seventh month, the eight day of
the seventh month and the fifteenth
day of the seventh month.
- The Christian’s “Lords
day” is Sunday, the First day of the week; when Christ
arose from the grave; the day when the
- So for the Jew, the
Sabbath is still Saturday, but for the Christian it’s Sunday.
- Scripture tells us
not let anyone judge us concerning our celebration of the Sabbath day.
- They point to prophetess Ellen G. White’s who has the exclusive right to truth -
Her prophecy in 1843 and again in 1844 that Christ would return was proven
false, later defended as a “geography error”, that He actually entered a
second apartment of Heaven to perform work in the “Most Holy” before
returning to earth.
- They point to her
writings
that include SDA as the 144,000
faithful Adventist – Avoidance of Coffee and tea, joking, jesting and
laughtrter as it grieves the spirit.
- Of her 53 books
written, it is charged that everything was “borrowed” or “Copied” from
other peoples works. This is known
as “The Great Controversy”. This is defended by; “a prophets
thoughts can be divinely inspired even thou they are not original”.
- They embrace “Investigative Judgment” – Jesus
serves as an advocate for the professing believers. It started in 1844 and continues
today. As the names come before
Jesus, they are accepted or rejected. - This is the denial of “the
finished work” of Christ on the Cross.
- They embrace “The Scapegoat Theory” – Sins are
forgiven, but not blotted out - All our sins are placed on Satan and thus will
be eventually burned up; blotted out.
- Today SDA is almost
parallel with the mainstream protestant church. To their credit, they use the writings
of Ellen G. White only as commentary on scripture, placing the Bible
foremost. Most SDA are unaware of
the history of their church and if it were not for their early beginnings
in 1844, this denomination would not be called a cult today.

eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or
a Sabbath day. NIV
Gal 4:9-12
9 But now, after that
ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the
weak and beggarly elements,
whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11 I am afraid of you,
lest I have bestowed upon you labor in vain.
12 Brethren, I beseech
you, be as I am; for I am as ye are:

come. KJV

who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the
Spirit of life set me free from the
law of sin and death. NIV

1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then,
and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
1 Peter 2:16-17
16 Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for
evil; live as servants of God.

everyone.
Scripture CAUTION
YOU WERE IN
BONDAGE
- When you did not know
the true Gospel you were in bondage to the week and beggarly element of
nature.
- When you have
received the knowledge of the Gospel and escaped the bondage of the world
and then become entangled again with the false teachings, you are worse
off than in the beginning. It would
have been better to have never known the Gospel that to know and reject
it.
- A different Gospel
will steal your liberty and bring you back into bondage.
- If you believer a different
Gospel you are under the spell of Satan.
Gal 4:8-9 – Do you want to
be enslaved to your old nature again.
8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were
slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
9 But now that you know God-or rather are known by
God-how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles?
Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? NIV
2 Peter 2:20 -Receiving the word; Leaving it; You are worst off
20 If they have escaped the corruption of the
world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it
and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the
beginning.
21 It would have been better for them not to have
known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their
backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
22 Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog
returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to
her wallowing in the mud." NIV
Gal 2:4 – There are false
Christians among us making us slaves
4[This matter arose] because some false
brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ
Jesus and to make us slaves. NIV
Gal 3:1 – We can easily be
bewitched if we are not vigilant.
1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?
Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. NIV
FALSE
PROPHETS
- Watch out that you
are not deceived by people who call themselves a prophet of God. –
Unfortunately many will embrace their false teachings.
- These false prophets
will perform such spectacular miracles that everyone will be deceived
except those who study, know and obey the true Gospel.
Matt 24:4-5 – Many will
try to deceive you.
4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one
deceives you.
5 For many will come in my name, claiming, `I am
the Christ,' and will deceive many. NIV
Matt 24:11 – There are
many false prophets.
11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive
many people. NIV
2 Cor 11:3-4 – CAUTION - You
put up with deceitful teachings.
3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by
the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your
sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
4 For if someone comes to you and preaches
a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit
from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you
accepted, you put up with it easily enough. NIV
Matt 24:24 – Deceitful
false signs and miracles
24 For
false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and
miracles to deceive even the elect-if that were possible. NIV
TRANSFORMED
INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT
- Like Satan, there are
false apostles who transform themselves into a Messenger’s of light.
- God will send you a strong
delusion that you will believe their lying wonders and signs because
you did not receive the love of the Gospel of Christ. You will be destroyed, condemned and
separated from God. You are getting
what you wanted.
- If you deny that
Jesus is the Christ and that He was “just another prophet” or a
good moral man, they you deny God also.
You are an antichrist.
2 Cor 11:13 –Satan’s servants masquerade as Christ’s Apostles.
13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful
workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder, for Satan
himself masquerades as an angel of light.
15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants
masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their
actions deserve. NIV
2 Thess 2:9-12 – God will
give you what you want - Condemned
9 The coming of the lawless one will be in
accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit
miracles, signs and wonders,
10 and in every sort of evil that deceives
those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the
truth and so be saved.
11 For this reason God sends them a powerful
delusion so that they will believe the lie
12 and so that all will be condemned who
have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. NIV
1 John 2:22-23 – Deny
Christ – you are an antichrist
22 Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that
Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist-he
denies the Father and the Son.
23 No one who denies the Son has the Father;
whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. NIV
A FORM OF
GODLINESS
- In the last days men
will have a form of godliness, but will deny the power of Christ
and will be led into various lust, always learning but never able to
perceive the true knowledge of Christ.
Theses impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being
deceived.
- They will teach a
different Gospel and do many wonders in the name of Jesus, but the
Lord will declare, “I never knew you.” Freemasons
2 Tim 3:5-7 – They teach
just enough Truth to snag you.
5 having a form of godliness but denying
its power. Have nothing to do with them.
6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes
and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are
swayed by all kinds of evil desires,
7 always learning but never able to acknowledge
the truth NIV
Matt 7:21 -23 – Many will talk the talk – but not walk the walk
21 "Not everyone who says to me, `Lord,
Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of
my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me on that day, `Lord, Lord,
did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform
many miracles?'
23 Then I will tell them plainly, `I never knew
you. Away from me, you evildoers!' NIV
2 Tim 3:13 – being deceived goes from bad to worse
13 while evil men and impostors will go from bad
to worse, deceiving and being deceived. NIV
BY THEIR
FRUIT YOU WILL KNOW THEM
- Take note that there
are religious people who appear as tenderhearted friends, who actually are
planning to take your life. You can
identify these people by what they say and what they do. They bare bad fruit.
- Gods people are
deceived away by Satan because that have not studied the inspired work of
God; the Bible. They are destroyed
because of lack of knowledge.
Matt 7:15 – Sheep outward; but Wolves inward.
15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come
to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
Matt 7:16 You will recognize them by what they do.
16 By their fruit you will recognize them.
Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? NIV
Hos 4:6 – Lack of
knowledge leads to destruction.
6 my people are destroyed from lack of
knowledge. NIV
CONTRADICTIONS – SIDE ISSUES – SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE
- Do not listen to any other Gospel,
for men have concocted doctrines that are of their own imaginations. Theses doctrines cause disputes and
side issues, that pull your thoughts away from the things that lift up
and edify your own personal faith.
- Get away from contradictions
of the Gospel which are falsely taught as “Special Knowledge”,
which if believed will cause your faith to be weakened.
- Get away from teaching and
customs that are contrary to the Gospel. They will render your faith useless.
1 Tim 1:3-4 – Endless
genealogies and myths – (MORMONS)
3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia Ephesus
4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless
genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work-which is by
faith. NIV
1 Tim 6:20 – Turn from secret knowledge opposing the Gospel
20 Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing
ideas of what is falsely called knowledge NIV
Matt 16:6-12 – Bad
teachings corrupt the whole body.
6 "Be careful," Jesus said to them.
"Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and
Sadducees."
12 Then they understood that he was not telling
them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the
Pharisees and Sadducees. NIV
EVEN DEMONS
BELIEVE
- Don’t use yourself as
a standard of measurement about spiritual things.
- There is only one
God, even the demons of Satan believe and tremble at His name. Just because a man says he believes in
God does not mean that he has made God the Lord of his life. Satan believes in God, but has rejected
him.
- God gave special
abilities in ministry to those whose life’s work is the Gospel so that
they may lead, teach and equip god’s people; This is so that they will not
be tricked by a different Gospel.
2 Cor 10:12 – Don’t use others as a yardstick for yourself.
12 We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves
with some who commend them selves. When they measure themselves by themselves
and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. NIV
James 2:19 – Even demons believe in ONE GOD.
19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even
the demons believe that-and shudder. NIV
Eph 4:11-15- Don’t be
blown about by deceitful teachings.
11 It was He who gave some to be apostles,
some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors
and teachers,
12 to prepare God's people for works of service,
so that the body of Christ may be built up
13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in
the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole
measure of the fullness of Christ.
14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed
back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every
wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their
deceitful scheming.
15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in
all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. NIV
DON’T CALL
GOD A LIAR
- Some have chosen not
to believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
They actually are calling God a liar because they do not believe
the testimony that God gave concerning his only Son.
- Hardening of your
heart to the True Gospel will darken your understanding, alienate you from
God and give you futility of mind. Ignorance.
1 John 5:10 – You make God a liar when you do not believe.
10 Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this
testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out
to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has
given about his Son. NIV
John 3:16 – Whoever believes will not perish
16 "For God so loved the world that he gave
his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but
have eternal life.
Eph 4:17-18 – Hardening of
the heart breeds ignorance - death
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the
Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their
thinking.
18 They are darkened in their understanding and
separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them
due to the hardening of their hearts. NIV
GOD IS NOT
THE TEMPTER
- Men will rise up from
among the Gospel with deceit in their hearts desiring to draw men to
themselves.
- God is not the
tempter. If you are drawn to a different Gospel,
it’s because of your own desires which when fed will give birth to sin and
unless stopped will take your life and you will be separated from God
forever. God is pleading with you
in his Word to “not be deceived” by the different doctrines..
- There are those who
are of wrong doctrine who falsely claim they are of the Gospel, but are
really of the congregation of Satan.
Acts 20:29 -31 – On Guard: Some will distort the truth- Wolves
29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves
will come in among you and will not spare the flock.
30 Even from your own number men will arise and
distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.
31 So be on your guard! NIV
James 1:13 -16 – We are tempted by our own evil desires.
13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is
tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt
anyone;
14 but each one is tempted when, by his own
evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.
15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives
birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
16 Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. NIV
Rev 2:9 – There are those
among us that are not believers.
9 I know your afflictions and your poverty-yet you
are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but
are a synagogue of Satan. NIV
DO NOT
HINDER OTHERS
- There are people who
speak honor to God with their lips, but it is all in vain because
they worship according to the doctrines of man.
- They will embrace false
signs and wonders; Only those who earnestly study the Gospel will not
be fooled.
- It’s bad enough that
some have chosen not to enter into the Gospel, but woe to those that
hinder others from doing so.
- Remember Satan has
influence over the entire world and had the power to give authority and
riches to anyone he wishes.
Mark 7:6-8 – You worship
in vain with rules and tradition
6 He replied, "Isaiah was right when he
prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "`These people honor
me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are but
rules taught by men.'
8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding
on to the traditions of men." NIV
Mark 13:22 -23 – The elect will not be fooled
22 For false Christs and false prophets will
appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect-if that were
possible.
23 So be on your guard; I have told you everything
ahead of time. NIV
Luke 11:52 – Don’t hinder the brethren with legalism
52 "Woe to you experts in the law,
because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not
entered, and you have hindered those who were entering." NIV
Luke 4:5-6 – The world
belongs to Satan
5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed
him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.
6 And he said to him, "I will give you all
their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it
to anyone I want to.
EXPOSE
DARKNESS
- There are friends who
share with you things that are perversions of the Gospel; there
words are empty; have no fellowship with them because the wrath of God
will come on them and you too! But
instead expose them so that this darkness will be turned to light.
- A good way to test a
man’s spirit is to listen to what he confesses. If he confesses that Jesus Christ is the
Son of God in the flesh, then he is of God, if not he has the spirit of
the Antichrist.
- For those seeking
God, there is a real battle to gain victory over oppression and lust. If
you will receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ in your heart, you will be an
over comer.
Eph 5:6-11 – Expose
fruitless deeds of darkness
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words,
for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
8 For you were once darkness, but now you
are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of
darkness, but rather expose them. NIV
1 John 4:1-3 – Test the
spirits - antichrists
1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test
the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets
have gone out into the world.
2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God:
Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is
from God,
3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus
is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have
heard is coming and even now is already in the world. NIV
1 John 5:1 – Born of God
1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the
Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as
well. NIV
1 John 5:4-5 – Who has
overcome the world?
4 For everyone born of God overcomes the world.
This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he
who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. NIV
PRAY SIMPLE
WORDS FROM THE HEART
- When you pray do not
use chanting and vain repetitions as the Eastern religions
practice.
- Avoid this profane
and vain chanting as it will spread to ungodliness like a Cancer. Handle
the truth of God correctly
Matt 6:7-8 – Don’t chant
vain repetitions.
7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling
like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows
what you need before you ask him. NIV
2 Tim 2:15-18 – Handle the
Truth correctly – Avoid chanting
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one
approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly
handles the word of truth.
16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who
indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene.
Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, NIV
YOU WILL BE
SIFTED AS WHEAT
- In the end time, antichrists will come in
the name of Jesus seeking men to follow them. Things will be so confused that some men
will even be betrayed by parents, brothers, relatives and friends. Take heed, do not be deceived.
·
Satan
sifted two of the twelve disciples; one realized too late that he was deceived
and killed himself. The other returned
to the faith and strengthened his brothers.
Both denied Christ – Both have life after death – One in Hell – One in
Heaven. It is obvious that even in the
innermost circles, care must be taken that we walk alert as watchmen, studying
the faith, lest we be deceived.
Luke 21:8 – Many deceivers
will come – the time is near
8 He replied: "Watch out that you are
not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, `I am he,' and, `The
time is near.' Do not follow them. NIV
Luke 21:16 – Family will leave the faith
16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers,
relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. NIV
Luke 22:3 – Satan wants
Judas Iscariot
3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one
of the Twelve. NIV
Luke 22:31– Satan wants
Simon Peter
31 "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you
as wheat. NIV
THE INVITATION
SATAN BLINDS
THE MIND
- The minds of the
unbeliever have been blinded by Satan.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ has become veiled to those that are
perishing.
- You cannot love,
serve and be loyal to two different gospels. One must be rejected.
- If someone among you
wanders away, try to bring him back, as you will literally save him from
death and will cover a multitude of sins.
- God will deal more
severely with the man who has heard the gospel and rejected it than the
man who has never heard.
2 Cor 4:3-4 – Satan has
veiled and blinded those perishing
3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is
veiled to those who are perishing.
4 The god of this age has blinded the minds
of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of
Christ, who is the image of God. NIV
Matt 6:24 – You cannot serve two masters
24 "No one can serve two masters”.
Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the
one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. NIV
James 5:19 -20 – We should try to bring a wander back
19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from
the truth and someone should bring him back,
20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the
error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of
sins. NIV
Luke 12:48 – When you know the Word – much is expected
48 But the one who does not know and does things
deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has
been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been
entrusted with much, much more will be asked. NIV
YOU’RE NOT
GOOD ENOUGH
- There are false
teachings that we too must bear the same cross as Jesus did. Not true; for those that love the Lord have
a sound mind and no longer walk in condemnation.
- God has provided a
way of escape from temptations that come against the believer.
- Jesus conquered the
battle through the cross, and has handed us the prize. We are more than a
conqueror. – We got the prize without even having to fight the battle.
Rom 8:1 – The believer is
no longer condemned.
8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them
which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. KJV
2 Tim 1:7 – We have been
given a spirit of power and love.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. KJV
1 Cor 10:13 – We have a way out of sin
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as
is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted
above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to
escape, that ye may be able to bear it. KJV
Rom 8:35 -37 – We are more than conquerors.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed
all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us. KJV
DOUBT STOPS
YOU FROM ENTERING
- We must all be of the
same mind, walking the same walk.
Observe your friends; their walk may be revealing that they are
actually enemies of the Gospel of Jesus.
- If you died tonight;
would you know without a shadow of a doubt that you would be with the
Father? If there is doubt, your
mind will be battered about like the waves on the sea. Doubt will cause you to be a double
minded man and unstable in your ways.
- If there is unbelief
in your heart toward the Gospel of Christ, your spirit will depart from
the Living God and you will not enter the final reward. Just as those led by Moses in the
wilderness doubted God and wandered forty years and did not receive the
promised land.
Phil 3:15 -18 – Many live as enemies of the cross
15 All of us who are mature should take such a
view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will
make clear to you.
16 Only let us live up to what we have already
attained.
17 Join with others in following my example,
brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we
gave you.
18 For, as I have often told you before and now
say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
NIV
James 1:6-8 – Doubt gives
birth to double-mindedness
6 But when he asks, he must believe and not
doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed
by the wind.
7 That man should not think he will receive
anything from the Lord;
8 he is a double-minded man, unstable
in all he does. NIV
Heb 3:12-19 – Unbelief will
stop you from entering the kingdom
12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a
sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
13 But encourage one another daily, as long
as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's
deceitfulness.
16 Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were
they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was
it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert?
18 And to whom did God swear that they would never
enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed?
19 So we see that they were not able to enter,
because of their unbelief. NIV
1 Cor 10:12 – Think you can save yourself- you are dead meat.
12 Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed
lest he fall.
SPIRITUAL
WAREFARE
- It is interesting to
note that the things that seem to come against us are not the people we
confront, but are things not seen, things that are in the spiritual
realm. Unless you have the right
spiritual weapons, you can not cut through this darkness and be a winner
in your everyday walk.
- It is also noteworthy
that having only a part of the weapons of protective devices will result
in defeat and death.
- Actually, if you will
just simply put on the whole bullet proof suit that God has provided, you
won’t have to do much fighting at all.
All you have to do is stand, pray in the spirit, and speak
boldly the Gospel. God will
even provide a bucket of water to put out the fires.
Eph 6:12-13 – We struggle
against spiritual forces of evil
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,
against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual
forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that
when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you
have done everything, to stand. NIV
Eph 6:14-18 – The full
gospel armor
14 Stand
firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate
of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the
readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield
of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil
one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with
all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and
always keep on praying for all the saints. NIV
ACKNOWLEDGE
GOD BEFORE MEN
- If you deny the
Gospel of Jesus before men, Christ will deny you before God
- Rejection of the
teachings of Jesus is a rejection of God.
·
Be
careful that the light in you is not darkness.
Luke 12:8-9 – Acknowledge
God and He will acknowledge you.
8 "I tell you, whoever acknowledges me
before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the
angels of God.
9 But he who disowns me before men will be
disowned before the angels of God. NIV
Luke 10:16 – Rejecting Jesus – Rejects God
16 "He who listens to you listens to me; he
who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."
NIV
Luke 11:35 – You are the light
35 See to it, then, that the light within you is
not darkness. NIV
IT CAN’T BE
THAT SIMPLE
- Satan would have us
in bondage to certain customs or
rituals that are so complicated that we would believe that we are not
worthy or that the sacrifices are just too great. Actually Jesus made it very simple, as
all we have to do is believe that God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus,
to be our Savior, and we will receive eternal life.
John 3:15-16 – The plan is
simple. Who So Ever
15 That whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life KJV
John 4:14 – There it is
again – Who So Ever
14 But whosoever drinks of the water that I
shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be
in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. KJV
John 5:24 – If you will hear and believe
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears
my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall
not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. KJV
John 6:27 – Seek the Word of God which endures
27 Labor not for the meat which perishes, but for
that meat which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give
unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. KJV
John 6:47 – Just Believe
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
believeth on me hath everlasting life. KJV
John 6:54 – Read and Do his Word
54 Whoso eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, hath
eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. KJV
John 6:40 – Here’s the promise
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that
every one which sees the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day. KJV
DON’T LOOK
BACK AT WHERE YOU CAME FROM
- Do not be moved back
and forth by listening to strange doctrines, but listen to those who have
been place in the body to lead and teach because they are the watchmen
for your soul and must give account to the father.
- If after taking hold
of the Gospel of Christ, you look back on strange doctrines, you will not
be fit for the
Gen 19:26 – Keep going toward Christ – Don’t look back.
26 But Lot 's wife looked back, and
she became a pillar of salt. NIV
Luke 9:62 – Don’t look
back at where you have come from.
62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand
to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God
Heb 13:9 – Don’t be caught
up in strange doctrine.
9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange
teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by
ceremonial foods, which are of no value to those who eat them. NIV
Heb 13:17 – Obey those who have been placed in authority
17 Obey your leaders and submit to their
authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account.
Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of
no advantage to you. NIV
In the multitude of counselors,
there is wisdom.
Prov 11:14
I am grateful for those
