They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is
Lord of lords and King of kings--and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers. (Rev 17:14)

Dan Corner

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will NOT inherit the kingdom of God. (Gal 5:19-21)

Was Solomon an Exception?

And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but IF YOU FORSAKE HIM, HE WILL REJECT YOU FOREVER. (1 Chron 28:9)
As long as one has not committed eternal sin, God wants the backsliders back. However, based on the aforementioned scripture, Solomon seems to be an exception. MAYBE because he was given so much wisdom, and he even saw God twice before his heart turned to idolatry, but such is only a guess.

Other scriptures definitely indicate Solomon never returned to salvation after he departed from the strait way (Mt. 7:14). Below is just one example:

The king [Josiah] also desecrated the high places that were east of Jerusalem on the south of the Hill of Corruption - the ones SOLOMON king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the vile god of Moab, and for Molech the detestable god of the people of Ammon (2 King 23:13).

Had Solomon repented, he would have torn down the idolatrous high places himself.

They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, "You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods." Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. (1 Kings 11:2)
As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. (1 Ki 11:4)
Solomon's pagan wives led him astray. Some matches are not "made in heaven", but aligned by the devil. If you are married to an unsaved person, your father-in-law is currently the devil. Christian singles beware.

The Book of Life has the NAMES OF THE RIGHTEOUS written in it (Psa. 69:28; Phil. 4:3), AND they can still be blotted out because of SIN (Rev. 3:5). IF that happens, and it stays that way, then the following tragic consequence will occur:

If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, HE WAS THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. (Rev 20:15)
Our "race" or test down here on earth is not over until our spirit departs our body (James 2:26a cf. 2 Cor. 5:1; 2 Pet. 1:13). What determines which gate we finally enter is our SPIRIT/HEART CONDITION AT THE END OF OUR LIFE (Ezek. 18:24; Mt. 5:8).

The One and Only KJV - "health to thy navel"

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be HEALTH TO THY NAVEL, and marrow to thy bones. (Prov 3:7,8, KJV)
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. (Prov 3:7,8, NIV)

It's your choice.

Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. (2 Cor 7:1)

Abraham was Justified BY FAITH (Gen. 15:6; Rom. 4:3; James 2:22,23)

That OT truth about Salvation is likewise basic and is also demonstrated with Noah:
By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and BECAME HEIR OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT COMES BY FAITH. (Heb 11:7)

"The Faith of Abraham" - Faith PLUS ACTIONS.

Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be GUARANTEED TO ALL ABRAHAM'S OFFSPRING--NOT ONLY TO THOSE WHO ARE OF THE LAW BUT ALSO TO THOSE WHO ARE OF THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM. He is the father of us all. (Rom 4:16)
Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. (James 2:21,22)

Do You Understand DEMON FAITH?

There are NO Christian fornicators. Such are not 'carnal Christians'.

1 Cor. 3 uses the term carnal to describe the Christians who were arguing over who their favorite preacher was leading to strife (1 Cor. 1:12,13). NOTE also:
But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. (1 Cor. 5:11)
The 'carnal Christians' at Corinth were NOT of the very list they were to separate themselves from. It is impossible. The devil has been adept at taking Christian terms and distorting them to create his doctrines of demons - designed to lead us into sin.

Jesus is full of mercy for salvation for those who HUMBLY REPENT FROM SIN.

Note the following:
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' (Mat 7:21-23)

No mercy will be shown to the unforgiving (Mt. 18:32-35)!

Death Bed Repentance

CHRISTIANITY WAS NOT FOUNDED ON PAUL - a false representation from enemies of the gospel.

The Lord's original apostles (the Twelve) walked with Jesus at least 3 years. FOCUS ON THEM TOO - minus Judas, who turned away, but primarily FOCUS ON JESUS:
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles [plural] and prophets [plural], with CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF AS THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE. (Eph 2:19,20)

John Darby's Errant Dispensationalism and Paul's ANTI Eternal Security Teachings

__________________________________

The Victorious Faith IN JESUS Which Overcomes the World

for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:4)
John, in the same epistle wrote the next passage, which elaborates on that FAITH [in JESUS], which overcomes the world:
We know that we have come to know him IF we obey his commands. The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:3,4)
Again, a saving faith in Jesus is shown to be a SUBMISSIVE FAITH, which OBEYS, just like in Jn. 3:36; Mt. 7:21; Lk. 8:21; etc.

__________________________________

At salvation, one is set free from his sin addictions (Jn. 8:34-36; Rom. 6:18; 6:22); BUT AFTERWARDS it is possible to become entangled by sin once again to the loss of the SOUL:

If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud." (2 Pet 2:20-22)

__________________________________

Catholicism has a FALSE and POWERLESS plan of salvation (the sacraments, Mary and being a Catholic) plus Mary IDOLATRY is rampant throughout, yet claimed one must be in subjection to the Roman Pontiff to have salvation - Unam Sanctam decree, that is, until Vatican Council II when it contradicted itself.

Being a 'devout Catholic' will leave the drunk a drunk, the fornicator a fornicator, the pedophile a pedophile, the liar a liar, etc. Only when one deeply repents (turns from sin) and commits to follow the Lord Jesus unashamedly, is he set free from his sin addictions (Rom. 6:6,7 cf. Jn. 8:34-36; Rom. 6:18; 6:22) and becomes a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17). That is the point of true salvation - when one becomes a Christian.

Christians are "being saved"

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to US WHO ARE BEING SAVED it is the power of God. (1 Cor 1:18)
for YOU ARE RECEIVING the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Pet 1:9)
Written for Jehovah's Witnesses, but related showing there is present tense salvation.

Have you ever wondered if heaven knows what is going on down here on earth?

Of course, God knows it all, but, apparently, at least some in heaven know when a sinner repents down here on earth.
I tell you that in the same way there will be more REJOICING IN HEAVEN over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. (Luke 15:7)
The "rejoicing in heaven", over a sinner who repents, shows they know when a lost person comes to salvation. Perhaps, that is why the angels are described this way:
But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, (Heb 12:22)

Speaking of the wicked:

The WAY OF PEACE they do not know.... (Isa 59:8)

The wicked have NO PEACE:

"There is NO PEACE," says the LORD, "for the wicked." (Isa 48:22)

The opposite is true for the saints:

I have told you these things, so that IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, (Rom 5:1)

The "NEW CREATION" (2 Cor. 5:17) at salvation CHANGES IT ALL!

God saved and changed Saul of Tarsus, who persecuted Christians (men and women both) to their death, and then he became the mighty Apostle Paul, who wrote 1/2 of the books of the NT!!!!!

When in darkness and death, he described himself back then in the following way:

Even though I was ONCE A BLASPHEMER AND A PERSECUTOR AND A VIOLENT MAN, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. (1 Tim 1:13)
Was Paul (as a Christian) really the worst of sinners like many in our dark hour claim? (Answer: No, he was certainly not!!)

After the change, in Christ, he was portrayed here:

but we were GENTLE among you, like a mother caring for her little children. (1 Thess. 2:7)

Which Are You - A Slave to Sin or A Servant of God?

New Creation In Christ [AUDIO]

There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God. (1 Sam 2:2)

Read Isaiah 36 and 37 for a BLESSING.

This Admonition is Specifically for our Time now:

BE CAREFUL, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. (Luke 21:34)

The Intensity of Our Spiritual War Is Shown by the Many Casualties and the Way We Are to Run Our Race:

There will be MANY deceived by false prophets (Mt. 24:11). MANY will turn away from the truth (2 Tim. 4:3,4). MANY will be deceived by false teachers declaring heresies (2 Pet. 2:1,2). People will be deceived by satanic miracles (Rev. 19:20; 2 Thess. 2:9-12). FEW at Sardis were still saved (Rev. 3:4).

We are to add to our faith various virtues to make our calling and election sure (2 Pet. 1:5-10). We must continue in God's kindness or we will be cut off from spiritual life (Rom. 11:20-22). We must continue in the teaching of Jesus to have God (2 Jn. 9). We must persevere under trial to receive the crown of life (James 1:12). We must bring forth good fruit or we'll be cut down and thrown in the fire (Jn. 15:1-6; Lk. 13:6-9).

True Christianity from James 1:12-27

Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and THE WAY IS EASY THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION, and those who enter by it are MANY. For the gate is narrow and THE WAY IS HARD THAT LEADS TO LIFE, and those who find it are FEW. (Mt. 7:13,14)
Someone asked him, "Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?" He said to them, "MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ENTER through the narrow door, because MANY, I tell you, will try to enter and will NOT be able to." (Luke 13:23,24)

Broad is the Road to Destruction

The Crown of Life

__________________________________

When Luke wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts, he wrote them to inform ONE PERSON - Theophilus (Luke 1:3; Acts 1:1); yet his labors blessed multitudes, who read those books and acted on the truths contained therein.

The Book of Luke is full of wonderful teachings about salvation and the Christian life - a great place to start reading for those who do not know the true Christian gospel or where to even start reading in the Bible. Zacchaeus (the wealthy tax collector) is just one example.

The godly things you do spiritually might be affecting many more than you can imagine! Surely, Luke never imagined the people his books would impact. Remember Romans 12:11.

__________________________________

Though John lost his brother James early via martyrdom (Acts 12:2), he still continued serving God. The uncertainties of this painful cursed world befall everyone - even the godly. Remember:

...Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. SO WE FIX OUR EYES NOT ON WHAT IS SEEN, BUT ON WHAT IS UNSEEN. FOR WHAT IS SEEN IS TEMPORARY, BUT WHAT IS UNSEEN IS ETERNAL. (2 Cor 4:16-18)

Focus on the Spiritual Good

__________________________________

Once we were Powerless

You see, at just the right time, WHEN WE WERE STILL POWERLESS, Christ died for the ungodly. (Rom 5:6)
Being spiritually "powerless," as we once were, is no longer the case. Our prayers have great power, and our weapons have divine power:
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, THEY HAVE DIVINE POWER TO DEMOLISH STRONGHOLDS. (2 Cor 10:4)
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. (Luke 10:19,20)

__________________________________

Without doubt, one's saving faith can be destroyed. Such a tragedy was Paul's concern, as implied here:

For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I SENT TO FIND OUT ABOUT YOUR FAITH. I was afraid that in some way the tempter might have tempted you and OUR EFFORTS MIGHT HAVE BEEN USELESS. (1 Thess. 3:5)
The following verses are actual proof of that terrible thing happening to Christians:
... holding on to faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and so have shipwrecked their faith. Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme. (1 Tim 1:19,20)
Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and THEY DESTROY THE FAITH OF SOME. (2 Tim 2:17,18)
Takeaway from the above scripture: GUARD YOUR HEART CAREFULLY and FEED YOUR FAITH WITH SCRIPTURE. This verse could also speak to the importance of reaching the lost [**those staggering off to slaughter] by "revealing" God's truth to them so that they, as well, have a chance to be blessed and heed wisdom's instruction (a k a - the Word).

Repay Evil and Insults with Blessings:

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called SO THAT YOU MAY INHERIT A BLESSING. (1 Pet 3:8,9)

That's how we "inherit a blessing" - the details of that remain unknown.

We have been redeemed to now "live for righteousness":

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and LIVE FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS; by his wounds you have been healed. (1 Pet 2:24)
After reading Eph. 2:8,9, that we are saved by grace, which is a gift from God, don't stop there -read the next verse.
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus TO DO GOOD WORKS, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Eph. 2:10)
... faith without works is dead. (James 2:26)

Barnabas was a GOOD Man

He was A GOOD MAN, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord. (Acts 11:24)
Study Barnabas to see how a "good man" acts, just as you can also study Job (the most righteous man on the planet in his day) and see how he acted when severely tested.

Are You Sure There Are None Righteous?

__________________________________

When Paul was initially filled with the Holy Spirit, he did not begin speaking in tongues, as the 120 did in Acts 2! Instead, right away, he started to BOLDLY speak about Jesus, as he witnessed:

Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord - Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here - has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, and after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. AT ONCE HE BEGAN TO PREACH IN THE SYNAGOGUES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD. (Acts 9:17-20)
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached FEARLESSLY in the name of Jesus. (Acts 9:27)
**To BOLDLY witness is the purpose and evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). Both Christian males and Christian females were filled with the Holy Spirit for that purpose.

Sole Highlights from Acts Chapters 1 to 10

__________________________________

Did you know the 'Apostles Creed' was not written by the Lord's apostles?

That fact is clear by the timing of its writing - hundreds of years after the deaths of the apostles.

Moreover, the errors in it begin with the first line: "I believe in God the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth." It was Jesus (not the father), who created everything and for himself:

For by him [Jesus] all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Col. 1:16,17)
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. (John 1:3)
Takeaway: do not go outside of the Bible. The "church fathers", the Apocrypha, the Apostles Creed, and, of course, all of the Catholic councils and the magisterium itself, etc. are not the inspired Holy Word of God - the Bible (final authority) - and are not to be relied upon.

On a further aside: in this apostate hour, as people are trying to make sense of these times, many are referring to and consulting the Book of Enoch, which is NOT inspired by the Holy Spirit and not part of Scripture, either.

__________________________________

Was Ananias a "Sinner" or a "Righteous" Man?

That is a trick question, because there were 3 people named Ananias - one a liar (Acts 5:1-5), one a righteous man sent, by God, to help the blind Saul-before-he-became-Paul on the road to Damascus, (Acts 9:10-18), and, finally, one a Sanhedrin high priest who ordered Paul to be struck in the mouth (Acts 23:1,2).

__________________________________

2 Thess. 2:1-3 are very important verses as they show the timing of the rapture - relevant to 2 events, which must precede our "gathering" unto the Lord, also known as the rapture: those preceding events are the apostasy and the revealing of the antichrist.

Down from that passage, four verses later, we read of the restraining power of the Holy Spirit that is holding back the secret power of lawlessness:
For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY. (2 Thess. 2:7)
The pre-tribbers wrongly understand 2 Thess. 2:7 by interpreting that the one who holds back the power of lawlessness is the "church". Then, proceeding from THAT FAULTY PREMISE, they argue that the church will be TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY (raptured out of here), before the antichrist is revealed. Their interpretation for the pre trib rapture timing is falsified by 2 Thess. 2:1-3. Will you believe the antichrist is revealed BEFORE the rapture (2 Thess. 2:1-3) or the pre tribber's faulty, wishful-thinking interpretation of 2 Thess. 2:7?

BTW, the devil must be awaiting the imminent fruition of his beloved, long-awaited, meticulously prepared pre-trib rapture lie trap, DESIGNED JUST FOR THE SAINTS OF THIS GENERATION - and set to spring on those still clinging to the hope of being TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY before the arrival of the mark of the beast. Now that you have been warned, will you, in turn, warn others?

**Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man." (Lk.21:36)
** The above, often-misunderstood verse is a prayer to be able to escape the wrath of God, when Jesus returns for the saints, AFTER the tribulation period (seals 1- 5) at the 6th seal. To that effect, here is an effective PDF tract, about the timing of rapture, that YOU can print (at home or your local UPS or print shop) to hand out. Since it is only one page, here is another tract idea on the rapture.

__________________________________

The Lord's disciples faced every type of obstacle and problem, including threats, physical beatings, prison time, severe lack, etc. - all designed to get them to stop talking about Jesus and his resurrection.

Also, even though they saw their dear family martyred, as Stephen and James were, and though they knew the same fate could happen to them at any time, they still fearlessly and faithfully went forth with the life-giving gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, out of obedience, and for the sake of others. BTW, obedience to Jesus is love for him (Jn. 14:15, 1 Jn. 5:3). IF you have been negligent in spreading the gospel, repent and get at it. SOULS are perishing all around you, and YOU might be their best chance - their ONLY CHANCE, to escape the flames of hell.

"Acts that Lead to Death"

Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from ACTS THAT LEAD TO DEATH, and of faith in God, (Heb 6:1)
How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from ACTS THAT LEAD TO DEATH, so that we may serve the living God! (Heb 9:14)
Not all sins are the same. There is "sin unto death" and "sin that does not lead to death" (1 Jn. 5:16,17).

**Other verses refer to certain sins that will exclude one from God's kingdom (1 Cor. 6:9,10; Eph. 5:5-7; Rev.21:8; Galatians 5:19-21; etc.). Those same sins must be the "acts that lead to death" and the "sin unto death".

Backsliders Can Return to Jesus and Salvation - James 5:19,20 (unless they have committed eternal sin).

YOU speak out 2 messages to others: (1) verbal and (2) non-verbal, by your actions. So, are you "walking in the Spirit"? Your words, tone and gestures reveal your heart.

Jesus is both deity and man:

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross! (Phil 2:5-8)

The truth of Jesus' humanity is a major stumbling block for many, who relentlessly attack the deity of Christ.

While such duality may be hard for the human mind to comprehend, remember that the infinite God's ways are not our ways, and we are not to rely upon our own understanding or wisdom, but His (Isa. 55:8,9; Prov. 3:5,6).

The Humanity / Deity of Christ

Warnings

Warnings are sprinkled around throughout scripture. In fact, the first recorded words to Adam was a warning (about spiritual death).

Israel was warned over and over again about their sins, in particular, about the sin of idolatry. Other warnings focus on preaching or believing a false gospel or on persecution. Regarding the latter, Christians live godly, but to live godly means you will be persecuted (2 Tim. 3:12). Persecution can yield a great reward, but it can also be lethally dangerous. It was over the fear of persecution, that Peter denied knowing Jesus.

During this late hour, a unique warning pertains to this generation of Christians - receiving the mark of the beast. Never before has that warning been relevant, but in the near future, it will be for us. Rev. 14:9-12 is a warning to "ANYONE" and v. 12 specifically mentions the "SAINTS":

A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If ANYONE worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. HE WILL BE TORMENTED WITH BURNING SULFUR IN THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY ANGELS AND OF THE LAMB. AND THE SMOKE OF THEIR TORMENT RISES FOR EVER AND EVER. THERE IS NO REST DAY OR NIGHT for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name." This calls for patient endurance on the part of the SAINTS who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus. (Rev 14:9-12)
There is absolutely no annihilation of the wicked dead in that passage - another false hope conjured up by the devil to ensnare souls and take people off their guard.

Another common warning given to Christians in the earliest church was this:

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Gal 5:19-21)

**When the abomination that causes desolation occurs, as mentioned there, those in JUDEA are to flee to the mountains. This verse only applies to Judea; living elsewhere in the world does not apply.

Witnessing To The Lost

In the book of Acts, the Lord's disciples preached directly to the lost without delay. Their message included Acts 10:43; 20:21; 26:20; etc. They never invited sinners to their Christian gatherings, or to any earmarked buildings, to hear the gospel at a later point. Also, the early church preached the gospel wherever they went - we have been entrusted with the gospel too. We can do the same, wherever we go - be it at the post office, parking lot, grocery store, park, cemetery, dentist office, etc. with gospel tracts and verbally.

But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison. THOSE WHO HAD BEEN SCATTERED [which were all but the apostles] PREACHED THE WORD WHEREVER THEY WENT. (Acts 8:3,4)
In our day, the 'churches' now are 99.9% APOSTATE and are not teaching what the lost need to hear. Note what it was like at Thyatira in John's day:
Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. BY HER TEACHING SHE MISLEADS MY SERVANTS INTO SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND THE EATING OF FOOD SACRIFICED TO IDOLS. (Rev 2:20)

The Problem of Gossip - Is it a Problem for YOU?

A GOSSIP betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret. (Prov 11:13)
A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a GOSSIP separates close friends. (Prov 16:28)
The words of a GOSSIP are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts. (Prov 18:8)
A GOSSIP betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much. (Prov 20:19)
Without wood a fire goes out; without GOSSIP a quarrel dies down. (Prov 26:20)
The words of a GOSSIP are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts. (Prov 26:22)
For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, GOSSIP, arrogance and disorder. (2 Cor 12:20)

"Full of Grace" and Catholic Mariology

CCC 508 From among the descendants of Eve, God chose the Virgin Mary to be the mother of his Son. "Full of grace," Mary is "the most excellent fruit of redemption" (SC 103): from the first instant of her conception, she was totally preserved from the stain of original sin and she remained pure from all personal sin throughout her life.
Catholics live in a religious fantasy world, where they have placed their illusionary Mary next to God, as 'sovereign' and 'omnipotent' and even to be 'worshiped'. It seems that ANYTHING the Catholic magisterium can use to exalt their mythical Mary will be exploited. Such is the case with the phrase, "full of grace".

To Catholics, "full of grace" means Mary was SINLESS, though it does NOT actually say that! **That charade in exalting Mary on a par with Jesus, who alone was sinless, crumbles apart at Acts 6:8:

Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people. (Acts 6:8)
So, was Stephen sinless too? In reality, Stephen was GREATER than Mary for he was also full of POWER. Mary performed no miracles, but Stephen did.

Even worse than the time of the Great Flood in Noah's Day

Son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its men and their animals, even if these three men - NOAH, Daniel and Job--were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD. Or if I send wild beasts through that country and they leave it childless and it becomes desolate so that no one can pass through it because of the beasts, as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, even if these three men were in it, THEY COULD NOT SAVE THEIR OWN SONS OR DAUGHTERS. They alone would be saved, but the land would be desolate. (Ezek 14:13-16)
In contrast, Noah was able to save his wife and his sons along with their wives:
By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear BUILT AN ARK TO SAVE HIS FAMILY. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. (Heb 11:7)

Confusion over Hell by the KJV

The KJV inconsistently translates various Greek terms as "hell", the inconsistency of which has created various comprehension problems for those trying to understand the related terms - and which cultists (Jehovah's Witnesses, SDA) have exploited.

**Before Jesus' death on the cross, everyone went to Hades, with the righteous in comfort on one side of an impassible gulf and the lost conscious souls in fiery torment on the other side, just as depicted in Luke 16:19-31. That detail alone clears up much confusion.

**Since the cross, the righteous now immediately go into God's presence - PARADISE (Luke 23:43; 2 Cor. 5:8; Phil. 1:23), while the wicked dead still go to fiery torment. The Greek term 'Tartaroo' was for angels, not people. The lake of fire (or the lake of burning sulfur) is the final place for the lost and the devil too (Rev. 20:10; 20:15). The lake of fire is otherwise known as the second death. It is not translated hell by the KJV.

ONE Lie - In God's Sight

Regardless how some try to minimize lying, no one can change the fact that both Ananias and his wife Sapphira were struck dead over ONE LIE (Acts 5:1-11). GUARD YOUR WORDS. They are very powerful. All liars go to the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8).

BTW, their good deed of giving to the poor did not cancel out their lie and its eternal consequences for them. Learn from Ananias and Sapphira.

Catholics have their 'Sacred' Tradition and 'Sacred' Images, which are 'sacred' in name only!

They are similar to the "SACRED" raisin cakes in Hosea's day:
...the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the SACRED raisin cakes. (Hosea 3:1)

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (Eph 6:12,13)

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted
to the point of shedding your blood. (Heb 12:4)

Compare Scripture with Scripture

He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him." (Dan 9:27)
From that verse alone, one could easily conclude that when the end of sacrifice occurs, the abomination that causes desolation will happen. That, however, is wrong, because there are 1,290 days between the two, but shown elsewhere:
From the time that THE DAILY SACRIFICE IS ABOLISHED and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. (Dan 12:11)
On an aside: there is evidence that THE DAILY ANIMAL SACRIFICE CAME TO AN END IN JERUSALEM BACK IN MARCH 2020 - the same time that other religious gatherings, (as well as many businesses and much of society), were shut down around the world!

Here is a video of animal sacrifice in Jerusalem from back in April 2019: Ancient Animal Sacrifice Ritual Makes a Modern Comeback

Do NOT be Misled by the 'Red Heifer' Distraction

The red heifer gives people the false llusion that end time events are further on down the road then they actually are.

People are mostly unaware that animal sacrifices have already stopped in March 2020 - around the same time when Bill Gates address the world that 7 billion people need to be vaccinated to go back to normal.

Peter's Denial of Jesus Came After He Stated He Would Never Do That!

**PRAY PRAY PRAY that God gives you the strength to remain faithful to Jesus, and continue to GUARD YOUR HEART. Walk in "fear and trembling", realizing you must endure to the end to enter God's kingdom. (Pray the same prayer for others too.)

Consider this point: Peter walked with Jesus, witnessing the miracles and hearing perfect preaching, and he declared Jesus as the Messiah, AND YET, the fear of persecution - not even real physical 'hands on' persecution - from a servant girl was enough to intimidate Peter and cause him to deny ever knowing Jesus at all. Pressure is coming, from all sides, when it is time to comply with the beast system in order to access our money and avoid persecution. A GREAT MULTITUDE will overcome (Rev. 7:9-14), and YOU can too, with God's help.

This terrible cursed age is quickly passing away, and the 1,000 year reign of Christ is close. HOLD ON.

The Righteous Suffer

Everyone suffers, but the righteous suffer unjustly in various ways. It has always been this way, but especially now in this tribulation. Remember:
Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, IF INDEED WE SHARE IN HIS SUFFERINGS in order that we may also share in his glory. I consider that OUR PRESENT SUFFERINGS are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. (Rom 8:17,18)
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also TO SUFFER FOR HIM, (Phil 1:29)
DO NOT BE AFRAID OF WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SUFFER. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. (Rev 2:10)
You are not alone in your sufferings:
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that YOUR BROTHERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ARE UNDERGOING THE SAME KIND OF SUFFERINGS. (1 Pet 5:9)
