Peace in Christ.

When we keep the “daily” sacrifice of our Lord in our MORTAL bodies… “always bearing about in the body the dying of our Lord Jesus" then the life also of Jesus will be made manifest/shine in our bodies…our MORTAL FLESH.

This manifesting of His life in our mortal flesh gives us an age-lasting life (aka “eternal life”) in the here-and -now in our mortal bodies for the duration of this current age. We do not “perish” away to the grave but are kept standing here whole: body, soul and spirit. This manifestation of His life in our mortal flesh is the revealing of the Son of man to the world so that it can be saved as well.

2Co 4:10-11 KJV
(10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

(11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

Yet, we are not seeing this manifestation of His life (the revealing of the Son of man) in any mortal flesh because of the many false prophets and false Christs (the false prophets all claim to be speaking in Christ) who have come forth to deceive and lead the MULTITUDE of Christians to their mortal destruction.

They are preventing His life from appearing as the "daily" sacrifice is being removed from their congregations as they are being deceptively led to judge others (supposedly in God's name/authority) via their church handwriting of ordinances/dogmas (the "image"). The Son of man is being actively withdrawn from being revealed in this earth. When we judge others, we are not having love for them. We "kill" others. by judging others who do not worship our particular church handwriting of ordinances.

Rev 13:15-16 KJV
(15) And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

We then become slaves of the sin. The wages of the sin is the death...the death of the mortal body.

(16) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

They do this supposedly in His name...His authority. In HIS NAME (supposedly) they cast out others as "devils"...judging others as such ...because they do not keep their particular church handwriting of ordinances.

They are working THE iniquity by doing so. They are slaves to the sin. They are worshipping their church handwriting rather than doing the will of the Father in Heaven. They are practicing the lie...the original lie. They think that they are "gods"...that is, "JUDGES" for God...knowing what is good and evil.

Mat 7:21-23
(21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
(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 THE iniquity.

NO FLESH is currently being saved in the man-based churches where the gospel of truth is not being preached as the understanding of it is being hidden from those who are perishing away in their mortal bodies.

Mat 7:13-15 KJV
(13) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
(14) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

(15) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

This is the “tribulation” that the church is currently in. We are currently in "tribulation" brought on by the many false prophets and false Christs who are currently in the world deceiving a great multitude of people.

The "great tribulation" comes when we leave the man-based churches as they will persecute any who do. Our own enemies will be those who were of our own household...and their persecution of us will be especially painful.

NO FLESH is being saved because of the MANY false prophets who are not preaching the truth of the gospel…nor the doctrine of Christ: that Jesus Christ IS COMING now in our mortal flesh which gives us an age-lasting life in our mortal bodies. We are to expect His life to be made manifest in our mortal flesh now in this mortal body. The Son of man is actively being betrayed into the hands of sinners who are not preaching the truth of the gospel. They are enemies of the cross of Christ.

They are denying Jesus Christ as they are preventing His life from being made manifest in the mortal flesh of those that they are "preaching" to. They are not of God as they "preach" with the spirit of error that does not confess that Jesus Christ IS COMING now in our mortal flesh. The Son of man is to be revealed there....in our mortal flesh in the here-and-now.

1Jn 4:1-3 KJV
(1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

(2) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
(3) And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

The deceivers all claim to be preaching the words of Christ…but they are instead speaking from the spirit of the “antichrist”…the spirit of the instead-of the true Christ. They preach with the spirit of error and not the Spirit of Truth…and are leading MANY astray and down the broad way that leads to mortal destruction.

Instead of the truth, they preach that Jesus IS DELAYING His coming….and their congregations all perish under their “pastoring” while they await His delayed coming (according to their preaching). They have been preaching to the “flock of the slaughter” ….to the “vessels of His wrath”…to the children of disobedience. The false prophet is the deceiver and his "Christ" that he is supposedly preaching is the antichrist instead.

2Jn 1:7 KJV
(7) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

We…who believe in the truth of the gospel…are not to be joined together along with them….or we are of ONE FLESH with them in their destruction. We are partakers of their evil deeds when we receive them (who do not have this doctrine of the Christ) in to our house so-to-speak as they are preventing His life being made manifest in anyone's mortal flesh by their deception.

2Jn 1:10-11 KJV
(10) If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

(11) For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

We are one body and one flesh with them when we sit together with them where they do not have the doctrine of the Christ. They are instead keeping and serving their externally-written church handwritings of ordinances/dogmas instead of keeping and serving God's commandments which are written upon our hearts and minds.
1Co 6:15-20 KJV
(15) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
(16) What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

(17) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

This is the “fornication” that we are to flee from. We sin against our own mortal bodies by being attached to them.

We must come out from among the man-based churches and be separate and not be attached to the unclean. This is the "holy"...to be separate for our sanctification...commandment which is delivered to us to do.

We are to glorify God in our mortal bodies by no longer sitting together with them in their “churches” where they are instead keeping and serving their church handwritings of ordinances/dogmas instead of His commandments which are written upon our hearts and minds.

(18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
(19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

(20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

This is the “holy commandment” delivered to us to keep: to come out from among them and be separate and no longer be attached to the unclean people of the congregations of the man-based churches.

We must not turn from that commandment delivered to us to keep. We must flee the “fornication”…the keeping company with them. This is our sanctification. ( 1Th 4:3 KJVFor this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication)

We must escape the “pollutions” …the defilement…of the world (the orderly arrangement.) Their churches are orderly arranged under their handwritings of church dogmas (such as a “statement of faith”)….and our flesh is being defiled by just sitting together with them. We are made partakers of their evil deeds just by sitting in them.

We must come out from among them. This is the way of righteousness. This is the narrow way that leads to life that the FEW will find.

2Pe 2:20-21 KJV
(20) For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

(21) For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

We cannot have the friendship of the world….the orderly arrangement. Whosoever will be a friend of the world (the man-based churches who are ordered with their handwritings….organized religion), is the enemy of God.

The man-based churches have their self-governing documents just like the outside world does (such as a nation’s governmental “constitution.”) They self-govern and self-judge themselves (and others) with their official documents….their handwriting of ordinances. They have their "friendship of the world" by having their governing church handwritings established among them to keep and serve. It makes us "adulterers and adulteresses" by keeping company with them who are serving their church handwritings.

Jas 4:4-5 KJV
(4) Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

The Spirit that dwells in us…..that is, the Spirit of God that dwells in us….lusts to envy. Our God is a jealous God.

(5) Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

These weak and beggarly “elements” (Greek: stoicheion)….orderly principles…contained in church handwritings of ordinances are the “other gods” we are not to be turn to. We must not keep company with those who are doing so in the man-based churches. We must be separate from them completely.

"gods"= weak and beggarly elements.

Gal 4:8-9 KJV
(8) Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
(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?

Elements = stoichei
on = Neuter of a presumed derivative of the base of G4748; something orderly in arrangement, that is, (by implication) a serial (basal, fundamental, initial) constituent (literally), proposition (figuratively): - element, principle, rudiment

For the Spirit of God that dwells in us lusts to envy. Our God is a jealous God.

We must not go after the “other gods” that the man-based churches (which are friends of the world in this manner) are worshipping. They are “molten gods”….established handwritings found in their churches.

They...the "other gods"... are the "weak and beggarly elements/principles" contained in their handwritings of dogmas that they have established...fixed... in their churches. Our God is our living Judge....and not an orderly arrangement of dogmas that the church scribes have written for us to submit to.

Exo 34:14-17 KJV
(14) For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
(15) Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
(16) And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

(17) Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

Except that the Lord shortens these days, NO FLESH should be saved….but THROUGH (Greek: dia - through) the elect, whom He has chosen…He has shortened the days.

Mar 13:20

(20) And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but (Greek: dia – THROUGH) for the elect, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

Again, the Greek word “dia” means through. Through the elect, those days shall be shortened

Mat 24:22
(22) And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but (through) for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

The Lord sends His servants...His chosen... out to preach the Word of Truth via the Spirit of Truth to those who are attending the man-based churches so that they may come out from among them and be separate.

We have a commandment…His holy commandment…to “arise and let us go from here”…from the man-based churches so that the world (the orderly arrangement of the man-based churches) shall know that we love the Father. He gives us this holy commandment TO DO. We must not turn from it that was delivered to us to do.

Joh 14:31 KJV
(31) But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

We must not be unequally yoked together with the unbelievers in the man-based churches where they are serving their “images”…their church handwritings of ordinances/dogmas. They will not believe the Word of Truth when they will hear it. We must no longer have our bodies …the temple of God…keeping company with them that keep and serve their images rather than His commandments.

2Co 6:14-18 KJV
(14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
(15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

We must hear His holy commandment. We must arise and go from there. We must come out from among them and be separate.

(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

We must go to the Father. We must keep His commandment. By doing so, we show them that we love the Father.

(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

How do we identify which denomination to belong to in a modern world where so many different truths are claimed about Christ.
Jesus says it is not popular, easy, nor a way to get rich, to follow Him; yet the only way to life in Jesus is to hear His voice, to reject everything (give up everything including what was learned in upbringing), to hear Jesus' Voice and not some other voice(s), that is do not follow men/other voices ! Only Jesus!

all the educated and religious and greedy and carnal and worldly people oppose the truth. do not follow them nor listen to them. Follow Jesus.

There are not many different truths. Jesus is the only one to trust.

This is as it is written in God's Word. Few are there who follow Jesus.

There are not many different truths. Jesus is the only one to trust.
We can tell the difference between secular beliefs for example that deny Christ as the way, truth and life. They explicitely deny Christ.

But then there is another layer that accepts Christ but still does not know Him as Christ says.

So how do we tell what is Christs truth among all these different denominations who acknowledge Christ but distort or deny His truth. Is it by the fruits of the spirit. If so how do we determine what are the fruits of the spirit or not.

Remembering that those who deny Christs truth will not be using explicit denial but use a Christlike appearence to undermine Christs truth. It may appear Christlike but on further inspection it is not.

This is I think the great deception of the wolves that they present the alternative to look like the fruits of the spirit which then rationalise the distortion of Christs truth into something different. A bit like PC. Its hard to argue against because it uses a nobel cause.
