Find out if they teach the Devil's Gosple of .. The Cross + WORKS

Genesis 2:16-17 And the Lord God commanded Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—of it ye shall not eat, but in whatsoever day ye eat of it, ye shall surely die.
... 3:5 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die.

Job 2:3 And the Lord said to the devil, Hast thou then observed My servant Job, that there is none of men upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas thou has told me to destroy his substance without cause?

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these words of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Paul said he had that message, and took it everywhere he could go.
He called it "My Gospel".
He was stoned to death for that message.
He was jailed for years for that message.
He was beaten with whips a few different times for that message.
They cut off Paul's head because of this message of Eternal Truth...=The BLOOD OF JESUS makes you RIGHTEOUS forever.
John 14:6
If Paul was stoned to death when was his head cut off?

Love is the fulfillment of the law. I fulfill my marriage vows when I am faithful to my husband because I love him. God's laws in the New Covenant is written in our hearts and I fulfill His commandments when I obey because of my great love for our Savior. Jesus said He did not come to destroy the law. Mathew 5:18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

I certainly do not want to be called least in God's kingdom, because I do not think least means you will be there.
Believe it or not, I am not teaching disobedience either, just that the letter of the the OT law covenant, as it was written in the OT, and just as it is written in the OT, never could save, etc, and actually was actually meant to do the opposite, etc, and if we want to truly obey we will forsake the letter of it/them, for what is written in and/or upon our hearts, which is just simply "love", etc, do it, be it, etc, and truly obey and/or fulfill the OT law covenant truly, etc...

And not to mention you won't walk in self-righteousness if your doing it right either, but if you go strictly by the letter of the law of the ten, the trap of it is, it's producing, most of the time, only self-righteousness only, etc...

But the way to apply it correctly, is allow it to kill you actually, but sometime before you are born again, etc, which is why it still has a place with some people that have not allowed it to completely kill them yet, etc, because most of the time, they think they are doing it themselves (keeping it/them) and this is a trap because it only puffs up, and only produces the very bad fruit of self-righteousness, etc, which was what had happened with the Pharisees, etc...

Anyway, enough of my rambling...

God Bless!

We are saved by grace though our faith. But we are judged based on our actions. Those are two different things. We do not keep God's laws to be saved, we keep them because we are saved. Revelations 14:12 God bless!

Let's talk about the correct application of the OT letter of the law covenant...?

Well, it supposed to kill you... It is not a pathway to true obedience, but is only meant to point out only your extreme disobedience, etc, when fully and truly applied correctly... Which is why Jesus said it would not pass away until all was fulfilled, or until the very last person to be truly saved was fully killed by it completely, etc... It's supposed to be a wholesale slaughter to your ego, etc... And what this is supposed to lead to, after that, is, well, repentance for one, and then being born again, and a turning toward Jesus' and all of the NT teachings and a full on true commitment to truly following them, for another, etc...

But it will not pass away until it is no longer needed anymore, and until every last one who is to be saved has allowed to it truly and fully "kill them" first, etc, which will probably only really truly and fully happen, right before Jesus comes back, or right when Jesus comes back, to rule and reign and set up God's Kingdom in the "thousand year reign" here on earth, after Armageddon, etc, then at that time, it will have passed away because it will no longer have any more true purpose after that anymore, etc, but it has "already passed away" for those whom it has already fully killed and pointed toward Christ, etc...

But for those who still think it is path to true obedience...?

Well, let's just they both are and have been greatly deceived, etc, and their "ego" and their haughtiness and pride and self-assuming, is very, very far from "dead" yet, etc...

And they still have "a long, long way to go" yet, etc...

And it's going to be very painful for them, etc...

To where many, and maybe "very, very many", in their pride, will not ever fully submit to it, etc...

Jesus did not change it, but only showed it for it what it really truly was, and the only way to truly obey it, etc...

Romans 13:8-10- "Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."

1 Corinthians 13- "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

"And Love God (with your all), and Love your neighbor as yourself" (too many scripture references, etc)...

"Love your enemies"

"Love everyone"

"See it, be it, do it", etc...

And then you truly fulfill the law as it was meant to obeyed and/or fulfilled, etc...

Anyway,

God Bless!

There is a lot of misunderstanding about this subject. I for one believe the spirit of the true Christian will be able to discern those who are “wolves in sheep clothing.” Another name for devil’s ministers, false prophets, etc.

We have to be able to discern them. Because it is these false teachers that’s leading people to hell.
Matthew 7:22-23
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

It’s not a matter of “don’t judge people” or “Oh we should just love people.” Of course we must love all men, but NO, we can’t allow ourselves to be fooled either.

I experienced false teaching, and it’s horrible. They professed Jesus on the surface, but discounted his salvation by keeping the laws. Then to be even more offensive to Christ, they decided which laws they were going to keep because they realized they could not keep them all. Then even more offensive to Christ a man had to be circumcised before getting baptized so that he appear before Christ clean before going in the water. And even more offensive to Christ, a woman could not come to service while on her mensural, nor be baptized. And most offensive, the preacher taught that Apostle Paul made a mistake when he spoke about the circumcism in the gospel. Again, even more offensive to Christ, they taught the Holy Spirit does not speak to your conscience- it’s an angel, thus denying the Holy Spirit!

You see the problem with false teachers? The people have no chance of salvation due to denying Christ with false practices. And when you speak up, they form a clique against you. People are afraid to speak for this very reason.

so it’s true. This situation with the devil’s ministers is serious. Some people even are harmed when they oppose these teachers.

A Christian and especially new Christians need to hear about this. And need discernment because these people, false teachers, are so slick, people are following them to their demise.

God bless you, and keep you in Christ Jesus!

I would like to note that it is Agape Love I am talking about here, and it is a mature Love, a wise Love, and is not like the other kinds of love, nor especially the kind the world is perpetuating right now, which I actually think is Anti-Love, and is even Satanic, as it will only leave you very, very empty in the end, etc, and most "young people" just "do not know that yet", etc...

But if you truly, truly keep ego out of it, truly truly died to self, and have God, then they have nothing on you, and cannot harm you, etc... Not unless they seek to do so physically, etc, but even then, there are sometimes limits placed upon them by God sometimes, etc...

And you can even, and this is even actually sometimes even kind of actually funny sometimes, etc, sometimes, especially if you know the truth of God's Word, and know who you are in God's/Jesus' eyes, and have the Holy Spirit, etc, anyway, it's actually kind of even very funny sometimes oh so how very easily you can "put them in their place" sometimes, etc, just with the truth of scripture, and that which comes out and through you from the Holy Spirit, etc... They really get their feathers in a ruffle, panties in a "you know what", about it sometimes, etc, and it's actually even kind of very funny and even hilarious sometimes, etc... But they can also get very "nasty" in retaliation sometimes, so you'd best know God, and know who you are in Christ before you ever attempt this, etc...

But you can always just "shut them off" also, etc, let them wallow in it for a awhile, etc...

Anyway,

God Bless!

The devil is real.
Believe it.

His ministers are "ministers of RIGHTEOUSNESS">
What does that mean?
It means they talk about God and Christ and teach works, law and commandment keeping, in place of God's "gift of Salvation".

What does that mean.?
It means that the Devil's ministers, FAKE FRUIT.
They FAKE Christianity.
See that?

Let me explain that one to you.

The Devil is Clever.
He is the god of this world.
He has spent more time analyzing the "greek texts" and the 'KJV"< than you , or me, or anyone.
He knows the bible.
He know this verse...>"by their fruit you shall know them"....So, what he does is counterfeit it.
He gets his people, the DECEIVED, to talk christianese.
They teach the word, they build churches....they bear FRUIT, and its all rotten and fake, yet it seems REAL.

You've seen a banana that is perfect. Its all yellow and beautiful.
Then you peel it, and inside the center is BLACK.
See that?
Thats a FAKE Christian on a forum, or in a pulpit, standing there talking about OLD TESTAMENT LAW and SELF EFFORT, instead of talking about the CROSS and the BLOOD OF JESUS.

SEE THEM?
Then look more CLOSELY !

So, never try to discern who is a real believer, vs who isn't based on if they are good to the poor, and teach Sunday School, and your mother thinks they are nice...... as that is exactly what the devil's "ministers of righteousness", next Sunday, are all like.

How to know if you are dealing with the devil's deceived?
Find out if they believe that Jesus >keeps them saved<, or not.
Find out if they are tying to get to heaven, not by the blood of Jesus, but by SELF EFFORT.
Find out if they teach the Devil's Gosple of .. The Cross + WORKS
When you see them write this false gospel, or you hear the preach it, you have found a : DARK LIGHT.

Jesus said...>"be careful that the light that is in you, is not DARKNESS".

See that?
That is DECEPTION.
Yes, if someone acts righteously and obedient to the commandments always suspect them- there must be something wrong or they wouldn't be behaving that way. It's much better to resolve to think you're right in the eyes of God and born again with no fear of losing your salvation, regardless of whether you actually sin or not, than to actually be right, which doesn't matter anyway. Personal righteousness? What a concept. It's only a bad thing now, to those enlightened ones.

To be under grace, and not under the law, in no way frees us from the obligation to be righteous.

God Bless!
To be perfectly fair, not all of them are all that bad all of the time, etc, and I actually do have some that I really like, and resist the urge to argue or start a fight with, etc, but I really do feel like I am, at least starting out anyway, just trying to "help", etc, but the way they act or react afterwards sometimes...?

Well, anyway...?

God Bless!

Hi biblelesson,

I am not sure if you realize this but you are contradicting the scripture you posted as a reference in your post. You referenced this scripture:

Matthew 7:22-23
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

This very verse Jesus tells us He does not know people who claim to follow Him, but practice sin. Iniquity is sin and sin is the transgression of God's laws 1 John 3:4

So when you say:
They professed Jesus on the surface, but discounted his salvation by keeping the laws.

This is the opposite of what Jesus said from the very quote you provided and what Jesus taught.

1 John 2:3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

John 14:15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.

Mathew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Mathew 19 17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to Him, “Which ones? Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ 19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”


What many do not realize there are two covenants of laws. We have God's Ten Commandments that we are told are pure, love, holy, true, just, good, faithful, peace and eternal. I can provide scripture references for each one of these if wanted. The law of Moses which was meant to help the Israelites through the wilderness and many are shadow laws with Christ as our Sacrifice. Colossians 2:14

Paul made the distinction between these two sets of laws when he said:

1 Corinthians 7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

Sadly, many preachers are teaching all the laws ended at the cross as Christ as our sacrifice, but that is not what Jesus teaches Mathew 5:17-20 or what the scriptures say. Jesus did not sacrifice His life to give us a license to continue sinning. If the law is taken away and there is no more sin, than we do not need grace, nor do we need a Savior because we are all lost.

This is why the second covenant is so important. Gods laws are not "done away with" they are written in our hearts Jer 31:33 and we now obey out of our love for our Savior, not because He commanded us. When I only worship Him and not other gods, I am showing God my love to Him. When I don't vain His name, I do this because that would hurt God and I love Him. I do not steal from my neighbor or covet what they have as this would not show love to them. This practice applies to all of God's law. Love fulfills the laws and when we obey, we are fulfilling our part, which is why Jesus taught about keeping the commandments and said if you love Me, keep My commandments. John 14:15.

God bless

1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

And now you're going further by encouraging people not to keep commandments.

.

I asked you if you can prove you are born again.
Is this a difficult question?
The reason im asking, is, if you're not, then you'll never understand anything im teaching, nor will you be able to receive any light from the NT.

Also, i would never tell anyone not to keep the 10 Commandments, and ive never told anyone on this forum, or on any forum, or in any Church, not to keep the commandments..
The 10 Commandments, and Jesus's 2, which are the same, are our moral boundary.
They are important in that regard, only.

So, what the devil's dark lights try to get you to do, is to keep the law and commandments, to try to go to heaven.

This is a "false gospel", as it is the Devil's gospel, .. the Gospel of works.

God's Gospel is THE CROSS.

The Devil's Gospel, is : The Cross + Works....which include commandment keeping.

We do not keep God's laws to be saved, we keep them because they are written in our hearts and we fulfil the commandments when we obey because of our love.

Your teachings seem to promote it's okay to sin, but that is not what Jesus teaches. Salvation and righteousness are two different things. Salvation is God's gift and the whole bible teaches us how to receive this free gift. It's not just a verse here or there, it's the whole bible!

Do you teach what Paul told us in Ephesians 1, that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world?


You are not teaching that verse correctly.

Its like this......According to the FOREKNOWLEDGE of God, believers are chosen, in Christ.

You have been taught to read lt like this.....

"God chose who would go to heaven, and who will burn in the lake of fire".

But that is not the verse, or the theology, or the truth.

The "pre-destined" verses, state clearly that the elect are predestined to be conformed into the image of Christ.

So, let me explain all this simply.

God knows everything.
So, He knows who is going to receive Christ and become born again, before they are born, and who won't... He knows this about us ALL........Even before He created the world.

This is God's "Foreknowledge"....Its the Omnipotent power of God to know everything before it happens.

You have been taught this is a deceptive way, Navair2
You have been taught that God's KNOWING is God causing it.
You have been taught that God knowing what will happen, is God causing it to happen.
And that is the deception, you have been taught.

Let me show you the truth.
The truth is this......God KNOWING EVERYTHING< is not God Causing Everything.
Its only Him knowing all things before they happen. = "foreknowledge".

An example?

You will eat a few times today.
God knows what you will eat today, but He does not cause you to eat it.

So, in the same light....God knows who will trust in Christ, before they are born, but He does not cause this for them...>He only already knows what they will choose.

And so....THAT is "FOREKNOWLEDGE">... or Knowing BEFORE it happens, what will happen.
That's God's "Foreknowledge".

But that’s not what’s being contested, at least not by most of us here. Whats being contested is whether or not one must be righteous, is obligated to be so, not only in mere external action or mere internal imputation, but truly, personally righteous because we’ve been made that way by God now and will continue to remain so to the extent that we remain in Him.

A born again person will live righteously, or risk sacrificing and losing his gift of new life.

So, in the same light....God knows who will trust in Christ, before they are born, but He does not cause this for them...>He only already knows what they will choose.

And so....THAT is "FOREKNOWLEDGE">... or Knowing BEFORE it happens, what will happen.
That's God's "Foreknowledge".
This is absolutely true, and consistent with continuous historical teachings as well incidentally. Additionally, He, alone, knows this with perfect 100% certainty.

Predestined elect?
But that is what Paul taught.

First of all, unfortunately.... the "predestined elect" theology, is a particular denominations false explanation of the "foreknowledge" of God.
What they believe about this, is not what Paul Teaches.

Paul teaches John 3:16, as this is John teaching Pauline Theology.

Peter preaches the same in this verse.....2nd Peter 3:9, that God wants ALL to be saved.

ALL
ALL
ALL

So, this denomination's "predestined-elect" theology, does not.
It preaches that God does not want all to be saved, which is not the truth.

Amen.
The Gospel truly is of grace, and all believers are washed in His blood in the eyes of God their Father.

That cross alone, where He gave His life for the sheep ( John 10:11 ), was His own personal sacrifice for them and them alone.

Amen.

When we give praise to the Blood of Jesus, we are giving Glory to the Holy ONE on the Cross.

Genesis 2:16-17 And the Lord God commanded Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—of it ye shall not eat, but in whatsoever day ye eat of it, ye shall surely die.
... 3:5 And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die.

Job 2:3 And the Lord said to the devil, Hast thou then observed My servant Job, that there is none of men upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas thou has told me to destroy his substance without cause?

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these words of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

There is no Cross and no Blood Atonement in your gospel. Galatians 1:8

You need to figure out why, asap.

If Paul was stoned to death when was his head cut off?

Paul was stoned to death, and the brethren prayed for him, and Jesus resolved it.
It was during this that Paul saw into the 3rd Heaven, and spoke about it.

Paul exit's death, was by having his head cut off. (Martyr)
All the Apostles were murdered, (martyr'd) except for John, and his end is not stated, it just says he was lest in Patmos. This is where John received "the Revelation", that is the last epistle in the NT.

Paul could not wait to leave.
He had wanted to die earlier, and stated "its far better to be with Christ", yet, he said that it was "needful" for him to remain, as he still had some NEW TESTAMENT to write, and some Preaching and Teaching to finish.
He also had to train Titus and Timothy.


Reader, If you have time, you should read 2 books.



1. The Screwtape Letters
2. Foxe's Book of Martyrs
