Future Prophecy

1

.

Now why do many people falsely teach, preach and concentrate on future biblical prophecies over having a great relationship with God though Jesus Christ today.. the answer is simple.. they are still unwilling to die to self, to live all out for God, Jesus is not really the Lord of their life.. nor are they Holy Spirit filled..

.

Why is it so many people claim that Jesus is coming soon when no one can know the exact time even. yet. Jesus is coming back soon, even maybe today.. and already he has been coming back for 2000 years, and yes he will come back.. but why are so many wanting him to come back now, immediately? wanting to go to Heaven even? and why is it that so many of the people who claim they want to go to Heaven now , and they say they want Jesus to come back for them when clearly still, many of them  are still unwilling to Serve God here on earth firstly,  even when they are unwilling to live with Jesus  now here on earth.

.

Anything in which there is a defect you must not present.—Lev. 22:20. 

.

“The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate,” states the Bible. (Jer. 17:9) 

.

Thus a false prophet also may not be in the business of foretelling the future for money but for fame, glory.. . A false prophet or  simply a false teacher is  someone who speaks for another but falsely but claims he is speaking the truth for God still. False prophets and false teachers they do either speak for the wrong god, or while they claim to have heard from the true God but do not accurately represent Him or His words, they have their own agendas they try to present. At the very least, they speak out of their own human hearts, but more likely, the “god” they are speaking for is really a demon as they are even still demon possessed. A false prophet or false teacher can be anyone who claims to be speaking for God, but whose message is contrary to God revelation even  to other bonafide  Christians too.. That is why you see so much differing crap being presented on the net these days too..

.

Yes many still do  people think that the end times  biblical prophecies about the end of the world and the Battle of Armageddon as  You know, are  for  the weirdoes, religious fanatics ,  societal oddballs, extremists, those persons who afraid to face life ahead of  them and falsely now do look for an escape from it.  Basic problem also is not the Bible detailed Prophecies themselves but rather how many people misinterpret them, and it seems few of them even agree with each others still.. I too had discovered is that controversy is nothing new if the devil can help it.. He the devil really does likes  the false truths  , distorts the real truth it, making sure the unwise, ignorant will never live their lives fully for God too..  the Devil is real. He is momentary, “the ruler of the world” or a spirit creature who became wicked and rebelled against God. (John 14:30; Ephesians 6:11, 12)

.

While many of the most well-known undeniable New Testament prophecies about Jesus Christ himself were foreshadowed by the very accurate  Old Testament prophets centuries before the birth of Christ and they require no serious reinterpretations.. including his death on a cross and his stated  beforehand resurrection  next from the dead.. 

.

 But it is those other supposed Future prophecies about the end time anti  Christ, about the Fallen Babylon, the New world Order, the supposed Restoring the nation of Israel, the supposed Rebuilding of the Jewish  temple, the Battle of Armageddon that are  all still doubtfully  being presented, misrepresented even   and why? A lot of it is false speculation, Bible ignorance..

.

IN REALITY ALL DOCTRINES HAVE TO BE STUDIED BY THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT . YOU HAVE TO TAKE EVERY WORD YOU HEAR AND SUBJECT IT TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE BIBLE.. MOST TEACHINGS AND PREACHING’S TODAY DO CONTAIN MAJOR FALSEHOODS THAT DO NOT LINE UP WITH THE NEW TESTAMENT;

.

2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 

.

Titus 2:13:13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,  James 5:7-9:7

.

The prophecies, about  the rise of the Antichrist and the Battle of Armageddon, were first recorded by the prophet Daniel in the sixth century B.C. where  Daniel wrote his God given prophecies during the 70 years that the people of Israel were held captive in the land of Babylon.

.

Daniel himself had served as part of the royal court of King Nebuchadnezzar, who reigned in Babylon from 605 – 562 B.C. The prophecies came in the form of dreams, both the king’s dreams and Daniel’s dreams. For most of the details, Daniel was personally now given the interpretation, but not all. Note that. Now the full  details about the future Antichrist, and the nations involved too, even the exact times, is not given to us by God, or in the Bible rather these days too there exist today rather  a lot of misinformation, misinterpretations, lies even.. and if God wanted us to know all the details he would have already now mentioned them specifically in the Bible. The Bible does not go into much detail about the end times because we are rather to concentrate on pour present relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

.

 Even Daniel himself was not given now  all the details..  Dan 30:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased…. 9  Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

.

And yet many  future prophecy liars still do dare to speak to us all about  supposed future truths that God has not even revealed  to anyone yet  here too.. many people are preaching supposed truths when clearly    they have never been even called by God to do so,  as they  are liars, pretenders, imposters still in reality, a fact we all do have to be aware off too.. 

.

Some people are using still their corrupted, unregenerated, human spirit to try to understand God and his truths and not by the Holy Spirit so they clearly here will fail at it still too. I also know some people have their minds falsely made up  about a lot of things based even on the false teaching of their denomination and it would be a great shock to their system to admit it may be wrong.. 

.

Are you preaching Escapism?  Deliverance or Running away? Jonah ran away from God…  And being saved is not about immediately going to Heaven, but serving Jesus firstly here on earth.. Are you even doing everything you can to serve Jesus Christ here now firstly before you go to heaven next? or are you so heavenly minded that you are of no earthly Good?

.

Please be like the Bereans of old who “searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11) with prayer and true help of the Holy Spirit.

.

and while you are waiting for Jesus to come are you  serving Him now?

.

2 Thessalonians 2:1.  1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

.

Notice that above passage states that the man of sin is to be revealed BEFORE Jesus comes and that Paul is warning Christians not to be deceived by others who teach otherwise.

.

I Cor. 13:9 Paul said, “… we prophesy in part.” There are two reasons for this. One is expressed in Prov. 4:18, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” In other words, the revelation of truth is progressive and needs to be checked out, confirmed  by the Holy Spirit, the Bile, even others..

.

Just because we have the Bible doesn’t mean we have all the truth at our disposal. The truth contained in the written word must be “opened” or revealed by Christ if we are to understand it and benefit. All the study in the world will not take the place of Christ opening the book and ministering living anointed truth suited to the time and need.

.

Daniel, as great a man of God and yet  he was, was still even  told to shut up the words and seal the book till the time of the end. Daniel 12:4.

.

The end times was the begging of Christ Ministry on earth and the t related New Testament development  and it’s Pentecost.. As only Christ has the authority to “open the book” (Rev. 5:1-5)

.

16    This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17    For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.  18    But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19    Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20    Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.  22    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,  23    Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24    And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25    If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26    Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.  (Gal. 5:19-26).

.

9    Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10    Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.  . (1 Cor. 6:9-10, );

.

1 Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

.

All teachers and Prophets are false when they fail to express God’s will accurately, but also they fail because they are not in contact with the true God. Jesus himself had said by their own personal fruits you can tell who really they are. The fruits of their lives and the meaning behind their words will indicate the source of their teaching. To paraphrase Jesus Christ, by their words they will be justified, or by their words they will be condemned (Matthew 12:37). If any their words thus  are contrary to Holy Spirit’s teachings, contrary to Scripture, contrary to God’s law, they are really false  , and worthy of condemnation for leading people astray. Words are cheap and a personal faith without good deeds is a dead one still too. Ask them how many Miracles they have done by the power of the Holy Spirit now too?  I have prayed for the ick and they have recovered for a start, cast out demons from persons now too. How about them?

.

Hebrews 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
.
(2 Pet 3:12-13 KJV) Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? {13} Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

.

The word “hasting” in verse 12 is the Greek Word  “speudw”  (speudo)  which means to “desire earnestly, to hurry, or to strive for.” As believers we desire earnestly the return of the Lord Jesus so we may begin our life in heaven away from sin and the cares of this world. But when the Bible tells us that we are to look for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, does that also include the quest for the exact day Christ will come back? God in His wisdom has also kept the exact date of Christ’s return a secret for the same reason.   mow why do they need even  to know the exact date of Christ’s return.

.

Many crazy people, liars  in the year 2000 made hundreds of prophecies that the end will come now.. and none of them came to pass already too..  .

.

I have no problem acknowledging that false prophets  and false teachers , false professing Christians now included do/will always exist.. and that anyone who leads people astray, intentional or not, false prophet or not, we really do mot not to pay much attention to them… as they are being manipulated by the devil.. not Holy Spirit led.. Ironical that most of them also  do not believe the gifts of the spirit are for today..

.

Luke 16 : 10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

.

“When is Jesus going to return?” 

.

2 Tim 2: 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

.

“For ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh” (Mat 25:13).

.

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Mat 24:42).

.

I understand that to mean, “You’re not going to know until I come for you.”

.

Mark 13 35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

.

Those who consider themselves good and faithful servants before God will stay away from setting dates/ There has already been a Library of false Date Setters of The End of the World!!! Over 200 false predictions and counting even recently !

.

Yes the end is coming, but all human predictions are wrong!   History has already recorded horrible repercussions that came and continue to come as a result of people who ignore the Word of God and think of themselves so highly they can set the date Christ is to return to this Earth. The problem is that like any sin, once it is committed, and the world can verify the person is a false prophet, the false prophets compound the problem by retreating to the world of mysticism and innuendo to justify their position. because they were even initially deceived., demon possessed..

.

Scripture is very clear about setting dates for the Return of Christ, and the Disciples were told very clearly that they were not to attempt to do it either, because not even Christ was given the date. Here are the verses that are ignored to set a date.

.

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

.

Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

.

The Bible definition of a false prophet is a person who says “thus says the Lord” and gives a prophecy from his own mind. Also, false prophets are those who give prophecies that encourage people to worship false idols instead of the God of the Bible. Also, a prophecy can be judged as false when it contradicts clear New Testament teaching.

.

After saying that the false prophet is to suffer capitol punishment, it says:  Deuteronomy 18:21-22 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

.

Clearly they  are not being led by the Holy Spirit, and they  do not  even know him personally even..

.

(1 Cor 2:2 KJV) For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

.

Also now

The application of the book of Galatians for the church today lies with the overall theme of true freedom in Christ. In the letter Paul addresses some specific issues that the Judaizers were forcing onto the Galatian church. Most of these issues are found to be moot in today’s society. However, there are those who have trouble with the concept of tre freedom in Christ, i.e. the legalists. Today’s …legalists along with the Judaizers both seem to have one thing in common, they live by “an ethic of the flesh doomed to failure,” (Polhil 151). They are performing their Christian duties out of their own strength and out of a desire for step by step process of Christian living. The verses that we today need to bear in mind when reading this epistle are Galatians 2:20-21, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; an the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain,”
.
Galatian 5:1, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not e entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” These are key expressions of Paul’s personal freedom in the redemption of Christ, a freedom which he urges every believer to cling to.
  I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” (Galatians 2:21). And Paul is not at all preaching that good works are not something to be sought after. In Romans 6:1-2 he says “Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?”
.
Could you be Christian and DENY Jesus and his finished work on the cross as well? NO
  SO WITH THE Same logic. You can’t be Jewish, a Jew, a Judiazer and also now EMBRACE Jesus.    YOU ARE A JEW OR A CHRISTIAN AND BUT NOT BOTH FOR BEING JEWISH MEANS FOLLOWING THE JEWISH RELIGION SOLELY AND NOT THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
.
  Messianic Jews, Judaizers, Seventh day Adventists do now still have more in common with the Jews than the true Christians.   Christians are NOT ‘or ever will be the restored Jews’ or the new Jews, BUT they are only still the true Church, made up of solely Christians.,
  If someone born to a Jewish mother who embraces Jesus and practices Christianity, then that person is NOT now a ‘Jew for Jesus’. They now are either a New Testament Christian, or a Old testament Jew..   The ‘messianic Jews’ now are just another sect within Judaism. They are not CHRISTIAN. As nobody today can follow both religions; the old and the new, for they are mutually exclusive.    Almost a Christian is not the same thing as being a real Christian.
  What a really mess this all is with many Judiazers, people falsely following their own religion version basically and not the true religion of Jesus Christ found in the New Testament.   All persons, Jews, Messianic ones too, they can only be saved the same way as Gentiles can, by grace through faith in Jesus and without the works of the law OF MOSES WHICH WAS DONE AWAY AFTER JESUS CHRIST CAME AND DIED ON THE CROSS.  YOU really CANNOT BE BOTH of the JEWISH religion and EMBRACE JESUS. It is as simple as that.  Jesus and the apostles differentiate between the law of God and the law of Moses in many places, this is a key point. Jesus proves that He is not talking about the law of Moses in some of the very next verses where He lists the commandments now, and even updates a few, making them stricter…..He says “anyone who breaks the least of THESE commandments shall be least in the kingdom.” What commandments? He didn’t name any yet, BUT HE WAS ABOUT TO. Remember, according to Hebrews 7 that there was a changing of the priesthood, therefore a changing of the law.
.
  Mat 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:   5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
.
  Mat 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:   5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
.
  Mat 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:   5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.   5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
.
  Mat 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.   5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;   5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.   5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
.
  Further proof that the law of God/Christ is different from the law of Moses is in…
.
  John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you NOT that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the TRUE bread from heaven.
.
  John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ.
.
  Act 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could NOT be justified by the law of Moses.
.

2 Thessalonians 1: 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

.

2 Timothy 4: 17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

.

1 Peter 5: 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

.

Many professing Christians are still not real Christians now, these days too, because Most people have never even firstly had studied, read what the Bible actually says nor have they been taught by the Holy Spirit firstly, not even many preachers.
.
Now a Christian is based on the word “Christos” or “Christ” in English where  Jesus Christ means Jesus the Christ -Messiah  and thus  is anyone who is …anointed with the Holy Spirit…  and to be anointed Jesus has to become your savior, Lord and baptizer of the Holy Spirit too.
.
Yes to be a Christian is based on the Greek word anointed one, Christos, a person in whom we can see the anointing of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.. do we see yours easily? we saw Jesus was anointed.. (Acts 10:38 KJV) How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
.
Again the word “Christ” is a transliteration of the Greek word christos, meaning “the Anointed One, Jesus was the anointed one. Jesus is the Messiah and the transliteration of the Old Testament Hebrew word pronounced maw-shakh, meaning Anointed One, which when translated into the New Testament Greek is Christos. Jesus was the anointed one. 
Matt. 3:11, “As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Peter told his convicted hearers, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”
.
Mind you they these same liars who falsely oppose the Holy Spirit, all of his gifts, any association with him too, they do have to Tear out the whole Old and New Testament for a start.. the prophets were clearly anointed, and performed miracles, and the same Jesus yesterday, today and forever who lives in us today too, who was anointed and performed miracles he had also said that believers will do even greater things now too. In the reality now too after all Samson next lost his anointing.. and so did King Saul lose his anointing .. and David asked God not to take away his anointing too after he had sinned with Bathsheba.. Without also the holy Spirit you are headed towards hell.
.
Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

Sunday

let

 

“You have to study on the origin of Christianity from the beginning AD 321. there is no Sunday worship in the time of Apostolic time,”??????????????? 

SO  WHAT YOU BELIEVE THE LIES ON THE NET OVER THE NEW TESTAMENT BIBLE? 

 Mark 16 2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

Luke 24 1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

John 20 1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Acts 20 7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

1 Corinthians 16 2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

We already know that Colossians 2:6-17  says God abolished the Sabbath..  

Colossians 2:6-17 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20    Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

And Constantine was what 300 years later AFTER JESUS…. The first Pope did not exist until 606 AD! (over 500 years too late) This is far too late because Christians were meeting on Sundays from the earliest record of history. Now neither  the Pope or Emperor Constantine still did not change the Sabbath to Sunday. do you really know what you are even talking about now?  in GOD’s name Judiazer do Now  for the GRACE  of GOD DO NOW  stop your lies.. “

The pope changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday” This false argument originated with the Adventist’s inspired prophet E.G. White:   The holy Sabbath looked glorious- a halo of glory was all around it. I saw that the Sabbath commandment was not nailed to the cross. If it was, the other nine commandments were; and we are at liberty to break them all as well as to break the fourth. I saw that God had not changed the Sabbath, for he never changes. But the pope had changed it from the seventh day to the first day of the week; for he was to change times and laws.” (Early Writings of Ellen G. White, page 33, official Adventist publication) Again on page 65 of the same book Mrs. White says, “The pope has changed the day of rest from the seventy to the first day.” Ellen G. White was and is a  a false prophet: Still Seventh-day Adventists CAN OFFER ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF that Christians in the church in Rome OBSERVED  the Sabbath! NONE WHAT SO EVER..NEW TESTAMENT Bible records that Christians were meeting Sundays from the first century AD!  

The Sabbatarians can’t get their story straight! Who changed the Sabbath? Is it the pope, Constantine or some Christians in Rome? -First they say the Pope changed the Sabbath. Then, when that proves false, they claim Constantine changed it! -Then when that is proven wrong they now say that “Christians in Rome” changed the Sabbath to Sunday -There is nothing there to say that Constantine changed anything. Constantine  was  making a civil decree that because Christians were already meeting on Sunday, as they were doing since the time of the Apostles, that the Christians should not work on Sunday. Read it again!

AS TO THE study the origin of Christianity.. so what are these books that you will   now use besides the Bible, THE FALSE TALMUD???  As there are even  less than a handful of books available in the whole world from the ACTUAL time of Jesus Christ as the Romans  had burn all the Jewish and even the not Jewish Christian books..  Post your list here for all to see.. all while the Bible itself, the New Testament indicates that Christians worshipped on Sunday after the resurrection of Jesus Christ and after the Jews had kicked them out of the synagogues  too,, and by the way the people who tend to be really weird also as  they falsely support the worship of Sabbath falsely demand you observe many other non applicable, redundant Jewish and demonic laws such as celebration of Jewish feast, Jewish food dietary laws, etc.,,.. get real..

And your claim that  you know the whole scriptures is clearly even falsehood when you clearly do not even know Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for a start.. otherwise you would not promote your lies, falsehoods.. bondage

 All Personal Salvation, eternal life, is through Jesus Christ and not Judaism,, Judaism is dead to God after they helped to kill him.. “He came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:11).  “For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God” (Romans 10:2-3).

Romans 9: 1    I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2    That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3    For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:4    Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises. 5    Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. 6    Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7    Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8    That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. …  27    Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: 28    For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. 29    And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. 30    What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31    But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32    Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone; 33    As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

The oracles of God were His spoken and written words. In other words, God’s word has come to man through the Jews. Even the New Testament was written by Jews.To Israel was given the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the law, the service of God, the promises and the fathers. Although God’s  gifts were initially to Israel, next now all mankind has benefitted through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. “he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham” (Hebrews 2:16). Notice he is described as coming from the seed of Abraham, not the seed of the Jews, Issac.. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift” (II Cor.9:15).

Acts 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

The problem of the Jew is that even though through Judaism he is demanded a perfectly righteous life, what God requires, he still cannot live it and next he cannot enter into  heaven as a direct result even. Their Jewish religion, Judaism  has not and will not given them peace or eternal life.

“Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless” (Philippians 3:5-6). Yet Apostle Paul still did not trust in his own Jewish religion and related righteousness . In fact, he said that, “what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ” (Philippians 3:7). He counted all things but loss that he might win Christ and “be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness 

 Romans 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Constantine was emperor of Rome from AD 306 to 337. Constantine next created, confirmed  the earliest official Sunday law known to history in AD 321.

” On the venerable Day of the sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country, however, persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits: because it often happens that another Day is not so suitable for grain sowing or for vine planting: lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost.ii “

 Close on the heels of the Edict of Constantine followed the Catholic Church Council of Laodicea (circa 364 AD):

“Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday (Sabbath), but shall work on that Day: but the Lord’s Day, they shall especially honour; and as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christanity”

None of these dates related to the Book of acts worshipping on Sunday but are merely their enforcements.. so you see how the liars lie about Sunday worship being false..

IS HE A SHEPHERD OR A THIEF?

MOST PEOPLE ARE GULLIABLE,
IN FACT SOME SAY THERE IS A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTES,

-The Popular Handbook on the Rapture:
 Experts Speak Out on End-Times Prophecy
-Coming Events and Present Duties, Future  Prophecy;
-Prophecy: End of Days Bible supposedly valid Studies
-God’s War on Terror: Islam Prophecy and the Bible
Entering Into God’s Project: Prophecy on Terror;
-Prophecies on World Events;
List Price $29.95;

TRUTHS

Many people think that the end times  biblical prophecies about the end of the world and the Battle of Armageddon are  You know, for  the weirdoes, religious fanatics ,  societal oddballs, extremists, those persons who afraid to face life ahead of  them and falsely now do look for an escape from it.

.

The Basic problem also is not the Bible detailed Prophecies themselves but rather how many people misinterpret them, and it seems few of them even agree with each others still.

.
The mostly sill ignorant people tend to not know the Bible themselves so they are falsely, so easily lied to by man. in reality 95 percent of all professing  Christians do not read the Bible 5 minutes a day, at the most 30 percent of the  people going to a good Christian church are even saved, and 70 percent of the preachers, most of those who preach on the net too, have never been called directly by God to be Pastors, they are merely hireling,  pretenders rather. Sad isn’t it?

.

IT IS VERY EVIDENT THAT MOST OF THESE SO CALLED PREACHERS, OR HIRELINGS WHO PROMOTE GOD’S SUPPOSED TRUTHS FOR MONEY? ISN’T THE LOVE OF MONEY, THEIR FILTHY GREED  THE CLEAR SIGN OF THEIR BAD BEHAVIORS?  

.

 Now don’t you think that something spiritually important as this, so essential as this, would be available freely to all rather.

 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.  

.

Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

Revelation 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

Revelation 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

 http://postedat.wordpress.com/2013/04/07/christian-attitudes-towards-drugs-smoking-and-alcohol/

.

In reality even these days many Christians SADLY themselves have never studied what the Bible actually says about these God given, Holy Spirit equipped, gifted men, offices to the Christian Church Universal by God, so they too are ignorant, they do not know, they are even confused about the role that they all should play.    Because they often wrongfully leave it to others to read the Bible for them too they thus are too easily deceived by the imposters, cults, sects, wolves in sheep clothing, false teachers, false prophets, false elders too. http://jesussayscome.wordpress.com/2008/12/12/deceived-by-the-imposters-cults-sects-wolves-in-sheep-clothing/  
.
 
Follow also  the Money trail”, ONE OF THE OLDEST RULES OF NEWS JOURNALISM AS WELL
 .
One thing for sure I have observed that where there are sheep now there are also many wolves, for where there are real Christians there are also the  pretenders amongst them now, today as well. The pretender, imposter, wolf in sheep clothing do now show up for all kind of reasons even to seduce the sheep. They masquerade as pastors,, assistant pastors, elders, youth ministers, Bible college students now as well.
 .
Many people have OFTEN conveyed to me that they are dismayed that there are  Crooks still  in the church as well? And they ask why the clearly bad pastors and bad pastors allow these crooks to remain in their midst.  Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you what you are like yourself now too..  https://postedat.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/about-those-hirelings-now-fleecing-the-sheep/  
 .
It is a very sad reality that even these days in the churches  that up to 70 percent of the pastors have not been called by God, they are imposters, hirelings and are not genuine shepherds of the flock. As a result many of them falsely resort to a dictatorial, abusive or hierarchy church structure and they demand falsely AND  force submission, and of course they even abuse their flock… they do now even cheat, lie, steal, slander, wrongfully counsel divorce.. . many people are surprised at this and do not know what to do.. Recognize, admit the sad truth and shout their sins from the housetops. They are not real, loving shepherds called by God..    https://postedat.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/spirtual-abuse-by-the-so-called-christian-leaders
 .
Some  falsely seem to think that just cause a person  professes to be good person, a follower of Christ that he or she is to be believed now and that they  will do good and not bad.. How easily they also do forget about the Judas type persons, those persons who love money the root of all evil, and the things money can supposedly buy for them, sell themselves for money to the devil,  but their mostly stolen too money it does not buy permanent happiness for even them.. Nor do most people who win lotto find permanent happiness, but rather more misery it seems.
 .
But a close examination daily reveals these pretender, imposter, wolf in sheep clothing really have not changed, they are self centered, unloving, tend to lack compassion and consideration for any others. https://postedat.wordpress.com/2010/01/02/crooks-still-in-the-church-as-well/
 .
Have you ever wondered how some pastors start a church and then become wealthy living in flash houses and driving luxury cars? So how they do it, extracting money from their congregations to fund their lifestyles. All decent Christian pastors would find these techniques repugnant.
 .
Like Judas reaching into the money bag, the sad reality is that too many of the Christian pastors steal from God’s people.
 .
Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. – 2 Corinthians 2:17a
 .
The pretender, imposter, wolf in sheep clothing even the Judas Iscariot is noted in history as the one who betrayed Him (Jesus). Yet Judas was first numbered among the Twelve apostles (Luke 6:13, 22:3; Acts 1:16-17 numbered with us), “chosen” by Christ Himself, so how next did the “Apostle Judas” became also the traitor? What drove him to his immoral acts. The reality is that he had never died to self or to the love of money too.
 
Jude 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. http://postedat.wordpress.com/2008/07/25/woe-to-the-shepherds/ 
 
Jesus kicked out the money changes out of the temple for these wolfs in sheep’s clothing have been a blight on Christianity throughout its history. The strategy of the losers, the false Hirelings, false Prophets, is still their false pursuit of power, fame, money. “With all this being said, they take message and build a real Kingdom business and they package it and collect money form the related information, music, preaching service, copyrights . They find different modalities to sell as they write a book, produce a video or audio series, lead a webinar teaching series, seminar, or start a membership site. The much too many the tricks in making money for oneself is that they also become an affiliate, part of a mutual networking referral group, and thus this also give them a chance to make commission money from their peers  
.
I strongly support the existence of good church shepherds, good church pastors, good elders,  who visit their flock,  provide help to them, do  keep vigilance, guard over them and their good welfare, visit them in the Hospital too. These acts clearly distinguishes them from the much too many bad pastors, rather pastoral prostitutes or hirelings WE SEEM TO STILL ENOUNTER EVEN THESE DAYS. * Bad men who were not chosen by God to be shepherds, but rather self appointed even for many wrong  reasons. And the term pastors in the Bible is rather a plural one meaning the local church should have many of them now too. Not just a false one man dictatorial ministry. 
.

1 Pet 3:15 KJV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

.

So how do you treat other Christians with love and respect or with a false hatred?

.

Let another man praise thee and not thyself.. and check if what is said is really so now too.. and all this now is nothing new as well. How many of you do know that even the preacher now can lie too? What if I told you that most professing Christians still cannot hear God’s voice and they they often lying still do claim that God speaks to them , leads them, how unbelievable now is that too? My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. John 10:27 and only The Holy Spirit will teach you all things. John 14:26.

.

THE WAY MANY FUNDAMENTAL EVANGELICAL AND SUPPOSEDLY PROFESSING CHRISTIAN CRITICS TRY TO MAKE FUN AT OTHERS IS SICKENING, A VERY POOR THEOLOGY AND IS SADLY NOW ALSO TOO TYPICAL

.

Jesus Christ, God, the Holy Spirit do not bash, cut down , tear into , bad-mouth , castigate , defame , derogate ,tear apart , knock , oppress , persecute , revile , slam , sling mud against, condemn the Christians or the Church as the Judaizers, Jews, Messianic Jews, Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists, Hindus, Muslims others falsely do. Their acts are rather are the acts of the devil and his followers.
.
It is so typical unChristian even by the Messianic Jews to falsely condemn all Christians for being non Jewish, Gentiles, dogs, and to blame the Christians for all the Jewish hardships, persecutions, because most Jews still cannot, do not want to admit their own sins, personal negative acts contributions.

.

(Prov 20:6 KJV) Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

.

Too many persons are so ready to proclaim their own goodness.. when in fact they tend to be ordinary sinners, who often do bad still too. I had learned decades ago that if you truly want to know what a pastor is like , next work with him for one day and you will be shocked at the new revelations very likely too… they too often are now not the saints, idols, they are claimed to be.. It is always better to trust in God directly than to hero worship a mere man too. I have often noticed that many women still worship some pastors, not just their wife, wrongfully for their sex appeal too.

.

In fact, most Evangelical Sheep falsely do not believe they can go to hell, and most if them they are not saved, less than 30 percent are saved,

.

Jer 23:1 WOE TO the shepherds (the civil, religious leaders) who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasturing! says the Lord.

.

ISN’T THE LOVE OF MONEY, THEIR FILTHY GREED IT IS VERY EVIDENT OF THESE SO CALLED PREACHERS, OR HIRELINGS WHO PROMOTE GOD’S SUPPOSED TRUTHS FOR MONEY?

.

1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

.

Most EVANGELICAL preachers today who sell the gospel for money tend to be still false themselves too. Neither Jesus Christ, His apostles, nor any early Church Christians sold any portion of the Gospel to others, rather they clearly gave freely to all others in need..

.

It is a very sad reality that even these days in the churches that up to 70 percent of the EVANGELICAL pastors as well have not been called by God, they are imposters, hirelings and are not genuine shepherds of the flock

.

GRACE DOES NOT COVER unconfesed sins.. and that is why we so so many TV evangelists TOO NOW falling these days..

.

(Isa 58:1 KJV) Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

.

(Gal 6:7 KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

.
John 5: 14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.         https://postedat.wordpress.com/2013/06/24/most-preachers-today-do-not-live-by-faith-in-god/      .
.
Billy Graham undeniable was a proficient pastor with plenty of good works, but he had good points and some bad ones, such as being a hireling still, who tried to please men, for the money.
.
Billy Graham is a false Hireling who hires ghost writers to do his sermons.. The Reverend Mel White is a homosexual activist who lives with his male lover, Gary Nixon, in Dallas, Texas. “I am gay, I am proud, and God loves me without reservation,” White recently told David Calker, a Los Angeles Times reporter. White, who “pastors” a militantly gay church, is also a writer of many Christian books. But though he’s the author, his name doesn’t appear on the front covers. Instead, a Christian celebrity’s name appears on each of Mel White’s books. White is what the book industry fondly calls a “ghostwriter.”  However, you’ll search in vain to find author Mel White’s name on either the cover or the title page of the books he wrote for Billy Graham. Nor is Mel White’s name openly connected with Jerry Falwell’s books. “It was important,” White now reveals, “that Jerry Falwell not be scandalized because his biographer was a queer.” Ghostwriter White also wrote Pat Robertson’s book, America’s Dates With Destiny but the gay reverend is not the only “ghost” whom the veteran host of TV’s The 700 Club has used for his chart topping books. Reportedly, Robertson’s recent #l Christian bestseller, The New World Order, was also ghostwritten by a CBN staffer.  http://www.scionofzion.com/ghost_writers.htm
.
Now what’s to be done about the lucrative, yet unethical and dishonest, practice of the ghostwriting of Christian books? I believe it is time for some truth telling. Thomas Nelson, Word, and all the other wealthy conglomerates who disguise themselves as “Christian” publishers should step up to the plate and give us a list of which books have been written by “ghosts” and which were really penned by the authors listed on their covers. That’s the least they should do to come clean. Better yet, these greedy publishing houses and their celebrity stable mates should quit trying to fatten their coffers and make bucks off gullible Christian readers. They should cease their publishing of ghostwritten books entirely.
.
My concern is that here’s how things like this continue to work: Franklin Graham (or Franklin and his sister Anne Graham Lotz) have an agenda (in all three of these cases, “traditional marriage”), they get a BGEA copywriter to draft the text, then a BGEA graphic designer does the layout (in the case of the ad), Franklin approves the copy and/or design, then Franklin drives out to Little Piney Cove (Billy’s cabin home outside of Asheville, N.C.) and holds the piece of paper in front of Billy and asks, “Daddy, can we publish this?” And Billy nods (or whatever he’s capable of doing at this point in his life), and Franklin goes back and publishes this stuff with his good father’s name all over it.  Billy Graham is 95 years old, in the advanced stages of Parkinson’s disease (among a host of other age-related ailments). He’s been having fluid drained from his brain on a regular basis for over a decade. When I worked for BGEA and Mr. Graham was still leading evangelistic crusades around the country, it was well-known that all of his sermons, articles, letters and books were ghostwritten — and had been for quite some time. .
.
Billy Graham and his son stole money.. undeniably..  IT’S TO BE NOTED FRANKLIN’S GRAHAM’S REAL TOTAL COMPENSATION AND PERSONAL USE OF HIS COMPANY PLANE IS STILL A REAL PROBLEM TODAY AND NED GRAHAM’S PROBLEMS HAVE PROBLEMS! ALSO BILLY GRAHAM’S REPORTED ANNUAL SALARY FROM THE BGEA FINANCIAL STATEMENT IS OVER $ 200,000 AND IN REALITY IS ABOUT $450.000.
.
What can you say? They are not real Christians but hirelings,  a wealthy businessman. That certainly doesn’t match up with most Americans’ idea of a pastor, but it’s simply reality many  false pastors-they write books, do speeches, get rich,  and do want to enjoy their   wealth on earth.  http://thenonconformer.yolasite.com/index/hireling
.
Historically, Billy Graham’s deception is one of the ,,greatest” deceptions that has ever been perpetrated.  The Associated Press reported from M I N N E A P O L I S, Nov. 21,2000 – The Rev. Billy Graham, America’s best known evangelist, is stepping down from the head of the ministry he founded a half-century ago. His son, the Rev. Franklin Graham, has been named chief executive officer of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, which was founded in 1950. The elder Graham, who turned 82 this month, will remain chairman of the board and hopes to conduct several crusades next year. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease about six years ago. He spent three months at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., earlier this year after a crusade in Nashville. 
.
But the financial statements of Billy Graham Evangelist Association for the last ten years have shown that Dr. Billy Graham has taken a one hundred percent salary as chairman of BGEA. But it’s a fact that Dr. Billy Graham has not worked a hundred percent of the time and not even fifty percent.   So is this right for a man who is supposed to be “Mr. Integrity” to take a hundred percent salary, plus pension plus one hundred percent of other fringe benefits and compensations and works less than fifty percent of the time?
.
Grace Community Church, Southern Baptist Convention, in Auburn, Washington-which counted Ned Graham, his wife, and their two sons as members established in 1999 the fact that Ned Graham was an adulterer, alcoholic, wife abuser, and drug user and revoked Graham’s ministerial credentials. It directed Graham to stop using the title reverend.  Yet in a style reminiscent of Jimmy Swaggart, who refused to be defrocked by the Assembly of God denomination, Ned Graham left that congregation for another church.
.
Concerns about his rising financial compensation during tough economic times have prompted evangelist Franklin Graham to temporarily give up future contributions to his retirement plans at the two Christian charities he leads. As president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, he receives two full-time salaries and two retirement packages. Last year his total compensation from the two Christian ministries was $1.2 million.

.

The size of Graham’s total 2008 compensation — $535,000 from Samaritan’s Purse and $669,000 from Charlotte, N.C.-based BGEA — drew questions from nonprofit experts. They doubted that one person — even the energetic, globe-trotting Graham — can do two full-time jobs when those positions are head of organizations that employ hundreds and spend hundreds of millions around the world. As head of the Boone, N.C.-based Samaritan’s Purse, Graham earned more last year than any other leader of an international relief agency based in the United States. That includes eight with larger budgets, according to data compiled by Guidestar, a group that monitors non-profits. Some charity watchers said they know of no other instance where one person leads two separate organizations. And they wondered whether it was possible to effectively do so. “It’s a very strange and somewhat unique situation … and it raises questions,” said Ken Berger of Charity Navigator, the nation’s largest evaluator of non-profits. Pablo Eisenberg, a senior fellow at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute said: “How can you do two full-time jobs at the same time? It’s outrageous.” 
.
THE SCANDAL OF CHRISTIAN GHOSTWRITING Readers pay exorbitant prices for the books of Christian superstars, never knowing that the volumes are actually written by no-name “ghosts.” Among the big names pulling this stunt: Hal Lindsey, Chuck Colson, Jim Bakker, Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, Benny Hinn, John Ankerberg, Hank Hanegraaff, David Jeremiah and Jerry Falwell.”  And several of these men quickly circled their wagons and tried to come up with excuses. Charismatic faith healer Benny Hinn took the direct approach. He went on Paul Crouch’s Trinity Broadcasting Network and personally introduced his ghostwriter! Hinn gave the lame excuse that his books were anointed by God, but he just needed help in getting it all into words and into book form. Are some of the most cherished books in your personal Christian library written by ghostwriters, some of whom are even homosexuals, atheists, and New Agers . The Scandal of Christian Ghostwriting, has caused quite a stir. Some Christian celebrities who use ghostwriters are panic-stricken. Many are wiggling and squirming in discomfort. They are embarrassed that their money-making scam was finally unmasked for what it is: A deception on the buying public.
.
The total compensation of the heads of religious non-profit organizations including Evangelists Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, and Franklin Graham remains one of American’s best kept secrets bringing up the question if the prominent religious leaders in America have any integrity.The total compensation of the heads of religious non-profit organizations including Evangelists Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, and Franklin Graham remains one of American’s best kept secrets bringing up the question if the prominent religious leaders in America have any integrity. Unknown to most Americans is the fact that when religious non-profits organizations such as Benny Hinn, Robert Tilton or Bill Graham Evangelistic Organization get in trouble due to state audits, they just pick up their organization and move to another state and start all over again, for Non-profits organizations are incorporated by the state and not the Federal government. As a result Evangelist Robert Tilton moved his organization to Florida from Texas and Benny Hinn moved his organization to Texas from Florida. It’s a shell game!
.
One is so stupid not to listen to God over man.. Billy Graham lied and said Mormons are Christian too..  Billy Graham is also on record stating that people can have salvation through paganism (another name for witchcraft). For instance, in McCall Magazine (Jan. 1978) Graham stated, “I used to believe that pagans in far-off countries were lost–were going to hell. I no longer believe that. I believe that there are other ways of recognizing the existence of God–through nature, for instance.” Pagans believe that salvation can be obtained through nature.
.
We quote a paragraph from a letter sent to Billy Graham clear back in the 1950s by a Pastor who, grieved by what Billy Graham was doing to the harvest field, said: “Some people say that if you have just one convert in an evangelistic campaign, it is worth the meeting. That is not true. The evangelist, as the pastor and teacher, is given to the Body of Christ. The real test of an evangelistic campaign is not how many people are converted but what kind of a spiritual condition does it leave in a community. Billy Graham is not only failing in the number of people he leads to the Lord Jesus Christ in this day when hearts are hungry and most people are afraid of what may happen in the world and when it is easier to get people converted than it ever has been in my lifetime, but Billy Graham is pulling the limbs off of the evangelistic trees and the orchard is being left in bad condition. As we have often said, the real test of an evangelist is not just how many converts he has but does he leave the orchard in condition so it will keep bearing fruit.”
.
Another prime example is prophecy teacher Hal Lindsey. Very few people know that Lindsey’s mammoth bestseller, “The Late, Great Planet Earth,” was actually written by a woman, Carla Carlson. To his credit, Lindsey has publicly admitted this. The question remains, however: Who is Carla Carlson? Why was she involved in writing Lindsey’s book? Why is her name not highlighted on the cover, in bold letters equally as large as those of Hal Lindsey? And finally: Are all of Hal Lindsey’s books similarly written by unknown ghostwriters?  Another hireling who did not publish the truth also, a false Dispensationalist.  https://dispensatiionalism.wordpress.com/

God’s enabling, help in this world

great

 All real Born again, Spirit filled Christians can have God’s enabling, help in this world..

(John 14:16 KJV) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

(John 14:17 KJV) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

(John 14:26 KJV) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

(Psa 91:11 KJV)  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

(Prov 3:6 KJV)  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths

(John 16:13 KJV)  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

(Mat 6:33 KJV)  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

(Mat 7:13 KJV)  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.

(Mat 7:21 KJV)  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.

(Prov 3:5 KJV)  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

(Psa 4:5 KJV)  Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

(Psa 37:3 KJV)  Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

(Psa 73:28 KJV)  But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

(Psa 115:10 KJV)  O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

(Psa 115:11 KJV)  Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

(Psa 118:8 KJV)  It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

(Psa 118:9 KJV)  It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

(Psa 125:1 KJV) They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

(Prov 29:25 KJV)  The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

(Rev 15:3 KJV)  And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
 
(Job 21:14 KJV)  Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
 
(Isa 64:5 KJV)  Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
 
(Jer 3:13 KJV)  Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
(Prov 3:6 KJV)  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
 
(Prov 4:26 KJV)  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
 
(Psa 25:4 KJV)  Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
 
(Psa 51:13 KJV)  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
 
(Psa 91:11 KJV)  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
 
(Psa 119:15 KJV)  I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
 
(Rom 10:17 KJV)  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
 
(2 Cor 5:7 KJV)  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
 
(Mark 11:22 KJV)  And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
 
(Rom 1:17 KJV)  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
 
(Gal 3:11 KJV)  But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
 
(Heb 10:38 KJV)  Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

they were come to the place, which is called Calvary,

 (Luke 23:33 KJV)  And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

god

(Luke 23:39 KJV)  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 44  And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45  And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 46  And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

Too many persons have still a very limited view of God, of Jesus Christ, and some persons they still go only as far, for they see only as far as his suffering and death on the Cross… but there was much more to his, Jesus Christ’s dead and resurrection now as well.. In fact Jesus Christ’s own  Resurrection from the dead, not just his death for our sins is one of the greatest  Christ historical events in the world and forever as well..

(1 Cor 15:12 KJV)  Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13  But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14  And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15  Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16  For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17  And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18  Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19  If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20  But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23  But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. 24  Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25  For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26  The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Not only has God through Jesus Christ destroyed the power of sin over us which was our death, our eternal, physical separation from God was removed  as a result, but we also have you received this blessing of Jesus himself today  now, even the power of his resurrection Spirit too  in out life daily now so you and I can now live the Christian life in power, glory as well.

(Acts 2:2 KJV) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

 God showed us His precious Holy Spirit, He wants us to experience His fullness, He doesn’t want us to be a luke warm Church anymore. He has called me to tell you about His Spirit because many of you do not have the fullness of the Spirit and He wants you to have it. You must have it to experience Gods fullness for your life. (Eph 5:18 KJV) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

When God talks about spiritual maturity he is not talking about any  old age retirement and his Church is not merely giving $20 every Sunday morning, and pretending to listen to the sermon, and then living your own life the rest of the week.. Church is personally being spirit filled and being a continual real part of Jesus Christ now body, his hands, his feet, his mouth the whole week too. This is not what Christianity is about, merely one giving at least 20 dollars a week to the local church, attending the local church about once a week mainly Sunday morning or Sunday night, certainly not the Wednesday night prayer meeting, and then living selfishly, covetously the rest of the week  still not helping, or caring about the sick, hurting, afflicted persons home even in the local church.. not this is certainly not Christianity but rather this is:

Psa 46:1   God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Do not overwork to be rich

 Do not overwork to be rich;  Because of your own understanding, cease!  Will you set your eyes on that which is not?  For riches certainly make themselves wings;  They fly away like an eagle toward heaven. PROVERBS 23:4-5 NKJV
jesus-christs-309
Many people are in a hurry to get rich..
 
 Rather seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his holiness
 and holy living is only possible if you are a Real Christian, pray, read the Bible everyday and are filled with the Holy Spirit and still..
 
 1 Kings 8: 46 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
 
 Ecclesiastes 7: 20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
 
 Sin is like a bird that sits on your head, but you do not let it stay there.. as you and your carnal, lustful body are now to be counted as dead, and alive only to Jesus
 
 1 John 3: 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
 
 1 John 5: 18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.   Rather seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his Holliness
 
 James tells us, “You do not have because you do not ask”.  so daily pray, read the Bible and claim God’s promises there in
 What keeps you from claiming the “territory” that God wants you to have? What is holding you back from acting on His Bible promises? How long will you neglect to possess the Full  land, which God has given you?  Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;     
 
Joshua 18:3 Joshua said to the Israelites: “How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given you?
 
 James tells us, “You do not have because you do not ask”.  so daily pray, read the Bible and claim God’s promises there in
 What keeps you from claiming the “territory” that God wants you to have? What is holding you back from acting on His Bible promises? How long will you neglect to possess the Full  land, which God has given you? 
 
 Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
 
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”” (Jeremiah 17:9-10)
 
 Matthew 5:3: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
 
 JAMES 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.  2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth eaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.  4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.  5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.  6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.  7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.  8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.  9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.  10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.  11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.  12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.  13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.  14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:  15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.  16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.  18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.  19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;  20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.” (Matthew 16:25)
 
“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” (Mark 8:36)
 
“Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the LORD. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the LORD.” (Jeremiah 23:24)
 
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
 
“but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint.”(Isaiah 40:31)
 
“But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.” (2 Thessalonians 3:3)
 
“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1)
 
 if you continue to walk with Him..
