Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning

Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning (Chinese: 东方闪电; pinyin: Dōngfāng Shǎndiàn) is a millennial Chinese Christian terrorist organization

cag

The group was founded in 1990 in Henan by Zhao Weishan (赵维山, born 1951) who later fled to the United States from where he continues to lead the church

.

The followers believe that the biblical God has returned to earth as a woman named Yang Xiangbin born to an ordinary family in the northern part of China in order to guide mankind for the third and final time. The “female Christ” states that Jesus was God’s first incarnation, but that He did not complete His work;

.

Demon masquerade.  Five members of the cult went on trial in August accused of the public murder of a woman in the fast food restaurant in May. The group beat her to death in Shandong province after she turned down their request to convert. One of her killers reportedly told police: “she was a demon, we had to destroy her”.

.

The sect is illegal in China and officials have called it a “social cancer and a plague on humankind”, a violent, evangelical group

.

And there are physical threats for those church  members who think of quitting.” Its members have been accused of shocking murders and mutilations of people who have refused to convert. They often approach housewives and the most vulnerable in society and have been accused of using aggressive conversion tactics including intimidation, brainwashing, kidnapping and even seduction. They also use religion in garnering support against the state

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.

Acts 17:10 Now the brethren at once sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea; and when they arrived, they entered the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these [Jews] were better disposed {and} more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they were entirely ready {and} accepted {and} welcomed the message [concerning the attainment through Christ of eternal salvation in the kingdom of God] with inclination of mind {and} eagerness, searching {and} examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.  Many of them therefore became believers, together with not a few prominent Greeks, women as well as men.

(Mat 23:37 KJV)  O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39  For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.  24:1  And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. 2  And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Psa 118:22-24  “The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. 23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. 24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”

Matt 21:42-44 “Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone [Jesus Christ] which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you [Nation of Israel], and given to a nation [New Testament Church] bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.”

Acts 4:10-12 “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

Psalms 109: Plea for Judgment of False Accusers
.
1    Do not keep silent, O God of my praise! 2    For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful Have opened against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue. 3    They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause. 4    In return for my love they are my accusers, But I give myself to prayer. 5    Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love. 6    Set a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. 7    When he is judged, let him be found guilty, And let his prayer become sin. 8    Let his days be few, And let another take his office. 9    Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow. 10    Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places. 11    Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder his labor. 12    Let there be none to extend mercy to him, Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children. 13    Let his posterity be cut off, And in the generation following let their name be blotted out. 14    Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 15    Let them be continually before the LORD, That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth; 16    Because he did not remember to show mercy, But persecuted the poor and needy man, That he might even slay the broken in heart. 17    As he loved cursing, so let it come to him; As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him. 18    As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, So let it enter his body like water, And like oil into his bones. 19    Let it be to him like the garment which covers him, And for a belt with which he girds himself continually. 20    Let this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, And to those who speak evil against my person. 21    But You, O GOD the Lord, Deal with me for Your name’s sake; Because Your mercy is good, deliver me. 22    For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me. 23    I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like a locust. 24    My knees are weak through fasting, And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness. 25    I also have become a reproach to them; When they look at me, they shake their heads. 26    Help me, O LORD my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy, 27    That they may know that this is Your hand — That You, LORD, have done it! 28    Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice. 29    Let my accusers be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle. 30    I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude. 31    For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, To save him from those who condemn him.

YES GOD ANSWERED JESUS PRAYER AND DESTROYED THE MURDERERS OF JESUS AND AS A RESULT THE TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED AND WILL NEVER AGAIN BE REBUILT

Look at the New Testament fulfillment..

Luke 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

ANYBODY WHO DOESN’T USE THE NAME OF JESUS BUT ANY OTHER NAME IS ASHAMED OF JESUS AND IS GOING TO HELL
.

Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before myFather which is in heaven.

.

Luke 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

.

John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

.

Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his namebefore my Father, and before his angels.

.

It is undeniable that most even professing Christians do not take the time or the prayers to let the Holy Spirit teach them fully, personally the truths from the Bible. so they are all mostly in errors cause they believe the lies of the devil, the lies of mere men, and believe their own false human reasons, conclusions. If a man is to understand the word, he cannot rely on human wisdom, human wisdom is insufficient for understanding God. Thus it is still critical, essential important that each  believer studies even the Bible  with the aid of the Holy Spirit as when the flesh interprets all of scriptures. the result tends to be still mostly dead wrong,

.

It should be evident to many people that too many even Jewish persons, Messianic Jews included now too,  still do cut and paste, chose Bible verse they like and cut out , they falsely do reject the ones they do not like, misunderstand and/or try to rewrite the Bible to suit their own liking, they have re-interpret Bible verses for their own purposes, as they now are false revisionists. The supreme New Testament has replaced the Old Testament and the New Testament clarifies what is no longer applicable in the old Testament, all Judaism included.

.

AND NOW WHAT ABOUT THE JEWS, MESSIANC JEWS, ZIONISM, THE PROMISED LAND, THE MILLENNIUM,THE REBUILDING OF THE JEWISH TEMPLE IN JERSUALEM, THE JEWISH RETURN TO ISRAEL?

.

I know them

the New Covenant is not a continuation of the old TESTAMENT

It is amazing how New Testament Bible ignorant persons falsely dispute the facts about Jews, Israel and Messianic Jews.. The New Covenant, the New testament, has replaced the Old Covenant, the old Testament.. the New Covenant is not a continuation of the old but it’s substitute.  Judaism, plus JEWS   are now dead to God and is Satanic! “…I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” —Revelation 2:9  http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2013/11/12/the-inheritance-of-abraham-a-report-on-the-promised-land/
.
WORLD’S OLDEST BOOK:  Bible published in full online  Along with the Codex Vaticanus, the Codex Sinaiticus is considered the oldest known Bible in the world. It was written in Greek . It is now preserved in the Vatican Museum, a GREEK OLD TESTAMENT was used by the Jews under the Roman rule in their Jewish synagogues. The New testament originally was  written only in Greek and it is a lie that it was written in Hebrew..
.
Ostriches who do refuse to see the truth is not new.. what you a Jewish lover NOW still do show false partiality to the Jews over all other nations, those same Jews who are no longer God’s chosen people, and you do not see this as a false hatred towards others? God loves all of his children now.
.
SO THE HEBREW LANGUAGE AT THE TIME OF JESUS FOR ALL PURPOSES DIDN’T EXIST?
.
It is a documented fact that when the Ten Tribes of Joseph, known as “Israel or Ephraim,” were taken into “captivity” in c.800 BCE by Assyria, they ceased to exist as a separate people because they lost their use of their Aramaic/Hebrew language and their sense of Israelite tribal identity. Their Conquests by the Greeks, Romans had helped to further this..

Jews, Israel, Arabs and Jesus Christ, the Bible


.
The problem even with the Messianic Jews and most JEWS is that they are color blind.. they can only see things through a Jewish perspective.. not the reality..
.
Many people fail to realize the significant effect the Greeks and Romans by their conquests had on the language usages in the middle east, the areas of the Greek and Roman Empire, even at the time of Jesus Christ.
.
Luke 23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS….
.
Messianic Jews and Christians tend to still even differ as to how they see the forming of the Christian church. For the Messianic Jews the Church was composed originally of mainly Jewish speaking Apostles , Jews and is a reformed version Judaism.. the New testament was supposedly originally written in Hebrew even if there is absolutely no substantiating go it anywhere, and the Apostle Paul is disliked cause he betrays Judaism, But for the Christians the church is composed of Greek speaking apostles and Gentiles ,,and the Apostle Paul is liked cause he helps to bring Salvation to the gentiles..the New Testament was written originally in Greek and there is loads of evidence of this.
.
Forget the Messianic Jews spin doctors, Messianic Jews still tend to be liars who tend to hate Christians, the Church.. Look it should be very clear to anyone who reads the Bible honestly the Greek language and a majority of Greek speaking gentiles was a norm in the early church..
.
Acts 14:1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
.
The problem with Messianic Jews is..(1 Tim 1:7 KJV) Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
.
Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots. SO IF JESUS PRAYED AND ASK FORGIVENESS AND GOD FORGAVE THE BETRAYERS AND MURDERERS OF JESUS WHY DID GOD DESTROY JERUSALEM AND IT’S TEMPLE?
.
GOD NOT ONLY KICKED THE JEWS OUT OF ISRAEL IN 70 AD.. BUT BECAUSE OF JESUS CHRIST HE CHANGED THE WORLD’S CALENDAR, PROCLAIMING HIS NEW ERA AND TODAY IS 2013 AD, AFTER THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST
.
The God of Abraham is Jesus Christ not the antichrist Jeshua
.
John 8: 33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
.

Note still also that God is the main olive root, plant.. The Christian Branch has been added and the Jewish Branch has been broken off.. those who say otherwise are liars.. causing false divisions in the body of Jesus Christ.
.
(Rom 10:1 KJV) Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 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.
.
Most Messianic Jews will still go to hell if they have not abandoned their false practice of Judaism.
.
v. Ju·da·ized, Ju·da·iz·ing, Ju·da·iz·es. v.tr. To bring into conformity with Judaism. v.intr. To adopt Jewish customs and beliefs. ( Not the Christian ones)
.
Messianic Jews, judaizer , Seventh day Adventist what do they have in common? well they follow the old testament laws for a start, those laws that God has given for the Jewish people alone to observe and not the Christian Persons.. Christian persons follow solely the laws of the New Testament..
.
“God told the prophet Jeremiah, concerning the Jews, in Jeremiah 7:16 and 14:11… “Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee… Pray not for this people for their good.” Abraham believed upon the Messiah and was saved… “And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness” (Genesis 15:6). We read in Isaiah 43:11, “I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.” We read in Luke 2:11, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” And I love Romans 4:5, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him (Jesus) that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 10:13 promises, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord (Jesus) shall be saved.”
.
Oh listen all you Jews today… “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Salvation may be of the Jews, but 95% of Jews today DON’T HAVE IT! This is the tragic truth.
.
Certainly the Jews were once God’s people, but the Lord has set the nation of Israel aside in 586 B.C. until He returns. Concerning the Jews in present day the Bible teaches in Luke 21:24, “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” This Scripture was fulfilled in part when the Roman ruler, Titus, declared war on the Jews in A.D. 70 and annihilated them, destroying their 2nd temple, and scattering them aboard. Not one temple stone was left sitting upon another. From that time until today, the Jews have been scattered across the world. Israel today is a mess, still lacking a 3rd temple. Luke 21:24 teaches that Israel’s woes will continue until Jesus Christ returns to reign. The religious Jewish leaders of today are as Pharisaical and hypocritical as they were 2000 years ago. It’s Against the Law in Israel to Convert to Christianity (soul-winning is illegal)
.
The messiah that the Jews are looking for today will be the Antichrist, because they rejected their true Messiah when He came to His own 2,000 years ago and they crucified Him. Jews today still practice idolatry. In fact, it’s epidemic! The Jews had sinned, and God was angry at them. Do you think the Jews are any better today? They are 100 times worse!!! They still murder their children through abortion, as to Moloch. Jews are no more righteous than the rest of the heathen world. The Jews are saturated with sin today, as is the entire world (1st John 5:19).
.
Israel today is a whoring after OTHER gods. God has cut Israel off and cast the temple out of His sight, just as He warned. BOTH Judaizer Jews and Islamic Arabs reject Jesus as the Messiah, the only begotten Son of God. Therefore, BOTH religions worship the same false mythical god that doesn’t exist. Anyone who openly rejects Jesus Christ has also rejected the Father the Bible says. 1st John 2:23, “Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.” Most Jews today, including the official Judaism religion of the nation of Israel, REJECT Jesus as the Christ. Therefore Jews DO NOT have the Father either, just as Arabs who follow Muhammad DO NOT have the Father. God warned that He would take away the Jewish house of Jeroboam as a farmer takes away crap… 1st Kings 14:10, “Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.”
.
Do you think God feels any differently about Zionism and Judaism? The Talmud was written by evil men. It is NOT oral tradition passed down from Moses. God gave Moses the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible) Word-for-Word, and no more. There is NO oral tradition. The Talmud is a cleverly crafted lie of the Devil, concocted by foolish unbelieving men who hated Jesus Christ. Whoever you are I beseech you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that you burn the Talmud and use only the inspired Words of God. The Talmud teaches that Jesus was the bastard son of a Roman soldier, and that Jesus was boiled in urine and dung, being sent to burn in hell forever. That is what the Jews and Jewish rabbis think of the Lord Jesus Christ. Clearly Jews hate Jesus Christ as much today as they did when their ancestors had Him crucified by the Romans. Not all Jews hate Jesus, but most of them do. Matthew 27:25, “Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.” And so it was in 70 A.D. when the Roman army under Titus invaded Jerusalem and murdered many of the Jews, not leaving one stone of the temple remaining atop another, just as the Bible foretold. God will not be mocked.
.
Today, 2,000-years later, most Jews still reject Jesus as their Christ, believing instead that the Messiah has not come. Thus, they will fully embrace the man of sin, the Antichrist, when he comes, who will stand up from the temple in Jerusalem and declare to be god, demanding worship or death (2nd Thessalonians 2:4; Daniel 9:24-27; Revelation 13:15). In these last days, I believe that the Talmud will be instrumental in the Abomination of abominations, The Great Whore of Revelation 171 and 19:2.
.
Whereas some Bible scholars have suspected that the Roman Catholic Church will be The Great Whore, I think not. It is Judaism, the Jews, Messianic Jews as well
.
Read what the King James Bible, God’s Word, has to say about Israel and the Jews..
.
1st Kings 9:6-8, “But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them: Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people: And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?”” By David J. Stewart
.
Jesus Christ and the Trinity are some of the greatest issues that separate Christianity from Judaism, But there are many others too. The Basic Truth is that if you falsely rely on the Hebrew old testament and reject what the Greek New Testament says you will be in error, still going to hell even Messianic Jews included..
.
THE MESSIANIC JEWISH MESSIAH DIFFERS FROM THE CHRISTIAN JESUS CHRIST Messianic Jews claim that the Jewish messiah is Jeshua not Jesus Christ.. Messianic parrots tend top repeat what theory false teachers taught them as they are clearly still mostly new testament ignorant..
.
They falsely do believe that when the Messiah is reigning as King of Israel, all of the Jews will be ingathered from their exile and will return to Israel, their homeland (Deut. 30:3; Isaiah 11:11-12; Jeremiah 30:3, 32:37; Ezekiel 11:17, 36:24). This has clearly not yet fully happened and never will .
.
They falsely do believe that in the Rebuilding of the Holy Temple The Temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt (Isaiah 2:2-3, 56:6-7, 60:7, 66:20; Ezekiel 37:26–27; Malachi 3:4; Zech. 14:20-21).. The Temple was still standing in Jesus’ day. It was destroyed 38 years after Jesus’ crucifixion and it has not yet been rebuilt. This has clearly not yet fully happened and never will
.
They falsely do believe in the Embracing of Torah Observance by All Jews The Messiah will reign as King at a time when all the Jewish people will observe God’s commandments (Ezekiel 37:24; Deut. 30:8,10; Jeremiah 31:32; Ezekiel 11:19-20, 36:26-27). This has clearly not yet fully happened and never will . Jesus never ruled as a a Jewish King, nor have all Jews embraced the commandments of God’s Torah. This has clearly not yet fully happened and never will
.
All of these criteria for the Jewish Messiah are found in numerous places in the Jewish Bible. One foundational example is in the book of Ezekiel, Chapter 37:24-28:
“24 And My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd, and they will walk in My ordinances, and keep My statutes, and observe them
25 and they shall live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers have lived; and they shall live there, they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever; and My servant David will be their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant, which I will give them; and I will multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forever
27 and My tabernacle shall be with them, and I will be their God and they will be My people.
28 And the nations will know that I am the Lord who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.”
.
Now all that all still is only the Jewish only personal interpretation of the Bible and is not what most people believe, Christians now included.
.
Yes a Jewish Bible does not have a Messianic “installment plan” where Messiah comes, fails in his Jewish mission, and then returns thousands of years later with an Alternate mission. The Jew still await the coming of the fill Messiah, where he and all the Jews will utopian world , so come soon! This has clearly not yet fully happened and never will . As most Jews will still end up in hell for undeniably falsely refusing Jesus Christ when he first cam to them.. There will also be no Jewish Millennium but a world wide millennium of peace and prosperity..
.
It’s important to understand that under the New Covenant, the New Testament, the second coming for the church doctrine is an admission that Jesus will not the Jewish Messianic criteria, expectations as the Christian Church alone itself is now the true Israel replacement and inherits all he Old testament messianic promises..
.
YOU ARE NOW A JEW OR A CHRISTIAN AND BUT NOT BOTH FOR BEING JEWISH MEANS FOLLOWING THE JEWISH RELIGION SOLELY AND NOT THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
.
NOW again about the Sabbath, .Revelation says that the end-time people of God will be keeping God’s commandments (Rev. 12:17).
.
This verse does not say which commandments are still valid. It is wrong to assume that it means the Ten, when God has actually given many more commandments than that.

The Jews, Messianic Jews are still one of the biggest false enemies of Jesus Christ working hard to water down the AUTHORITY, the NAME , existence of JESUS CHRIS Tand they will once again fail at it too..
.
As per “YAHWEH  YESHUA  IS ALIVE AND WELL” AND WHAT YOU ARE STILL ASHAMED TO CALL HIM BY HIS REAL NAME JESUS CHRIST AND STILL REALLY WHY IS THAT? CAUSE YOU HATE HIM SO MUCH STILL AND ALL HE STANDS FOR?
.
If you truly now do as you claim even love your fellow man you would not lie to him and you also would not lie to God too about who Jesus Christ really is.. the God.. God of the Gentiles and the Jews now too…
.
Jewish believers in Yeshua? but there is No such thing.. as Jewish believers in Yeshua as there are only Believers in Jesus Christ.. 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. Messianic Jews also undeniably tend to tell half truths, they do falsely and too often now take New testament verses out of Context, falsely do promote a non Christian Gospel as they basically are still AntiChrists … Sad..
.
Christianity teaches that Judaism is the ‘old’ covenant which Christianity has replaced? and all Christian Jews, Messianic Jews too need to do this today as well also they are supposed to give up their Jewish roots, Jewish culture, Jewish religion when they accept Jesus Christ as their master, lord and savior . Read the scriptures for you think that doing so you will gain eternal life, but many people now do read the Bible and never got eternal life, cause they omitted the spirit of Jesus Christ actual teachings and the New testament Bible’s as well. 2 Tim 3:5 KJV Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
.
Jesus  Christ is still the only means of personal salvation for both the Jews and gentiles.. no one else can save you from hell..
.
The Old Testament laws given by God through Moses were undeniably temporary laws given only for the Jews. they were replaced, superceded by the New testament laws.. Here also is what the false Christians, the Jewish ones generally will not tell you even.. How did the Jews live for thousands of years before the Mosiac laws came into being? And how are they really to live after Jesus died too…
.
(Acts 20:29 KJV) For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. .

(1 Tim 4:1 KJV) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;.

Was what Jesus did for us in the cross shedding his blood, dying for us all was it Enough? God said it was finished Or, did God Lie to us?

True Christians do not mix the Old and New Covenants “laws”, laws as defined by the New testament, nor do they rightfully now support any of the Judaizers and their “laws”, all those persons who want to keep the Torah “laws” and just add Jesus to it. Today the entire Old Covenant “laws” was to be casted out by the Christian but we must all still follow His new teachings that are valid in the New Covenant as per (Galatians 4:21-31). The New Covenant teachings of Jesus did not include Sabbath-keeping “laws”and many other “laws”of the now obsolete Torah. True Christians believe that the “laws” has been completely abrogated and replaced with the Law of Christ.; Messianic Jews and the Seventh day Adventists, Judaizers do still try to uphold invalid laws, part of the Bible falsely do draw people away from the truth of Christ.
.
It is undeniable that whether accidental or deliberate there is a significant attempt to mislead people from Jesus Christ’s sole way of Salvation from Hell to heaven by many persons or groups.. Including Judiazers, Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons too….. Satan and his many followers falsely do still works feverishly to draw attention away from his arch enemy, the Head of His true body, Jesus Christ. They falsely deny the new testament and Jesus Christ finished work.. “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” Romans 1:25 “The spirit of antichrist” is behind this false teaching of making an idol out of any mere day. Anti means in place of.. Anti-christ means “in place of Christ.” (1 John 4:1-6)
.
There are many rather still fools, even ignorant persons who think that they can merely obtain God’s favor by keeping any of the laws of the Old Testament.. these deceived persons all fail to realize that the Old Testament were written to the Jews only, not to any gentiles.. Now today all of these over 465 old testament inapplicable laws are redundant, obsolete even to all of the Jews..  Furthermore keeping any of these Mosaic laws does not insure any personal entrance into heaven..
.
Can you be a practicing Jew and also believe that Jesus is the messiah? The customary answer is no. Though Christianity began in Jerusalem , all Christians came to understand themselves as people who by definition were not Jewish and who believed that Christianity had “superseded” Judaism — that is, “taken its seat” of favor before God. While the early church was made up of both Jews and gentiles who professed faith in Jesus as Messiah and Lord the early church was anti-Jewish. To accept Jews into the church as Jews who follow the Torah’s instructions for observant Jewish life even as they live in fellowship with Christian Jesus-believing gentiles, would represent a false unacceptable return to Judaism.. Christianity and rabbinic Judaism next emerged as rival claimants to continuity with Israel after the destruction of the Jewish temple in 70 AD.. In the case of Messianic Jews, their failure to leave their ongoing Jewishness is what damns them to hell. Now get that into you head.. Within the early church there was an ongoing conflict between two groups who both claimed to be followers of Jesus Christ. One group held to the teachings of Jesus as taught by the apostles regarding salvation in Christ alone. The other group also held to the teachings of Jesus but added certain Jewish religious practices, particularly circumcision. As the New American Commentary explains, “… the Apostle Paul himself had waged a steady campaign against a group of false teachers, commonly known as Judiazers, who had sown great confusion among the apostle’s recent converts by teaching that becoming Jewish was necessary for salvation.”
.
Old Israel supposedly being God’s people for they still will go to hell LIKE MANY PROFESSING CHRISTIANS WILL if they personally reject Christ and do not continue to follow after him. (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. (Rom 2:9 KJV) Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

.
Some clerics, theologians, and scholars have worked hard to recover the supposedly historical Jewish Jesus. why? as the only main portion of the Bible that you really need to read, to follow now is the New Testament because we are no longer under Old Testament covenant, law – essentially the New Testament replaces the basic requirements of the Law and the Prophets of the Old Testament. also the Mosaic Laws were given only for the once chosen Jews.. As nobody today can follow both religions; for they are mutually exclusive. All Believers should still embrace the whole Word of God that is written by God but now they do not follow the non applicable Old Testament laws, rituals. The Old Testament has now been superseded by the New Testament. The sole basis of the Christian faith today, which is why it is also called the New Testament as well, is not at all the Old Testament Judaism but the New Testament Jesus. Jews, Judiazers, even the false Christians themselves who want it seems to promote their own self importance, the false value of the now rather false, obsolete old Judaic religion, old testament dominance and it’s also still the false observation of the Old testament letter of the law over the New Testament spirit of the law approach. It is an ungodly act still too. … we need only to follow the law of the spirit.. (Rom 8:2 KJV) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” The sole basis of the Christian faith today, which is why it is also called the New Testament as well, is not at all the Old Testament Judaism but the New Testament Jesus..
.
AND AS FAR AS JESUS FULFILLING THE OLD TESTAMENT DO PEOPLE NOW EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS NOW?
.
Jesus was the only man to ever perfectly keep the law. He did this then died on the cross to do away completely with the law as the means for righteousness, “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY (gone forever), NAILING IT TO THE CROSS;” Colossians 2:14 Matthew 5:17 – Greek word for “fulfilled” means EXPIRED – which means to DO AWAY WITH! Jesus Christ, Yeshua has come and put and “END” to the OLD Testament religious approach, law for our righteousness. Jesus Christ the only Messiah too has already come and fulfilled the law’s requirements by his sinless death, the most important event being that He bled on that cross as “the Lamb of God” as a sacrifice for the sins of all of mankind (John 1:29). This now also included nailing the old testament laws to the cross. Now if you are still focusing on the mere shadows of the messiah given to the Jews under the OLD testament, and you are living under the old and obsolete covenant which was far inferior to the NEW Testament which Jesus had introduced, accomplished and which is a far superior and a much “BETTER covenant” and made the old covenant obsolete (Hebrews 8:6) you are in great error and still going to hell undeniably now too. “For Christ is THE END of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Romans 10:4
.
What Jesus Christ did when He died on that cross for the sins of all men?
.
“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 holy day, 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.” Colossians 2:14-19 So NOW you who are only “complete in Christ” (v10) even to not allow any foul, law-keep religious devil to judge or condemn you for not keeping an inferior, obsolete Jewish law that was done away with and nailed to the cross. face that truth, reality or you will go to hell next instead. Jesus is the only way of Salvation, forgiveness for your sins, his finished work on the cross is the only way..
..
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
.
When Jesus was referring to “the law” in those verses, He was not referring to the law of MOSES. In fact, 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. 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
.
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?
.
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.
.
All Jewish and non Jewish persons have to keep only these laws – to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to obey the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. Hebrews 10:1
.
The apostle Paul certifies that “the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good” (Romans 7:12), we also do still know as per Romans 7: “1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
.
How much more clearer can it be , we are adulterers if we serve the law, since we are dead to the law once we have been married to Jesus Christ.. He Jesus Christ had fulfill the law as Moses had written it. Once He died and rose again He ratified what was needed to be kept under the law of Christ, the laws of the Holy Spirit (not Moses). This law was either given directly by Jesus or through the apostles after the resurrection where they all were filled with the Holy Spirit in the Book of Acts. Pentecost is not an option but mandatory for all Christians.
.
Jesus did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. To have it put aside. We are under the new law of Christ and NOT under the law of Moses. Some of the Old Testament laws are ratified in the new covenant and most are not. Jesus himself had removed the requirement of having to follow the Law in order to please God, he even had established justification by faith, and thereby united both Jew and Gentile into one group in Christ. This is when Paul says in verse 15 that he abolished in his flesh the enmity which is the law of commandments in ordinances. The Law was that which separated Jew from Gentile and since it has been fulfilled in Christ, it is no longer something that would separate Jew and Gentile. Both Jews and Gentiles can be one, Christians the Church now instead. The word “fulfill” which many abuse, it does not mean to continue or reinforce.
.
Matthew consistently used the word fulfill in a specific manner, once something is fulfilled there is not a need for any future fulfillment. Now fulfilled all mean a completion of something that is said. That something was prophesied or written and he fulfilled it or made it happen, bringing it to its end, having it come to pass, no longer applicable commandments, all he old testament laws.. 613 of them now too.. As we can see, these 613 commands were temporary and only for a certain time and next many of the Old Testament laws are given new meaning in the New Testament. Whatever came through the cross and taught by the apostles were the new applicable teachings for the Church. Jesus did not tell the disciples not to sacrifice animals during this time they were still under the law before his resurrection. Its obvious after he died the Temple veil was rent and his sacrifice was made once for all, they no longer had to do continue this approach.
.
Apostle Paul describes the Mosaic covenant in 2 Cor.3: 7 the HOLY SPIRIT tells us, is “passing away” and is “abolished” (verses 11,13), in its place we have the “ministry of the Spirit” and “the ministry of righteousness” (verses 8,9).” For “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.” You are trying to earn favor with God by observing certain days or months or seasons or years. I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing. Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to live as I do in freedom from these things, for I have become like you Gentiles—free from those laws. Galatians 4:10-12 So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths.
.
For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality. Colossians 2:16-17
.
Today the church is the true Israel and Christians are God’s true “Jews” today. Jesus taught that God would take his blessings away from fleshly Israel who rejected him as Christ and give it to the Gentiles. Jesus and the Apostles clearly taught the Gentile believers would replace Jewish non-believers.
.
Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots.
.
SO IF JESUS PRAYED AND ASK FORGIVENESS AND GOD FORGAVE THE BETRAYERS AND MURDERERS OF JESUS WHY DID GOD DESTROY JERUSALEM AND IT’S TEMPLE? because he was establishing a new religion and cancelling the old one..
.
IT IS ALSO UNDENIABLE THAT JEWS, MESSIANIC JEWS AND CHRISTIANS HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON WHO AND WHAT JESUS THE CHRIST WAS, IS TO BE..
.
(Mat 23:37 KJV) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.;
.
(Rom 10:1 KJV) Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 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.
.
The problem even with the Messianic Jews and most JEWS is that they are color blind.. those same Jews who are no longer God’s chosen people, they can only see things through a Jewish perspective.. not the reality.. Christians have replaced the Jews now as God’s chosen ones.. (Eph 1:4 KJV) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
.
Messianic Jews are thus the false antichrist still.. It should be of note, interest to all Bible students, that the Christian Church, the bride of Christ, the final Jewish seed, was not mentioned directly in the old Testament but only in the new Testament. In the New testament the Jews are no longer the Chosen ones too, the Christians are.
.
MESSIANIC FAITH IS STILL A BIG RIP OFF.. IT IS A JEWISH ANTICHRIST WORSHIP, IT IS A RELGION STILL OF PERSONAL GOOD WORKS, NOT BASED ON A REAL FAITH IN THE REAL JESUS CHRIST.
.
Messianic Jews are really still lost persons going to hell. Messianic Jews have a completely different interpretation of the Kingdom of God, of Jesus Christ still.. they falsely see Jesus coming back to establish the kingdom of the Jews and not the kingdom of Heaven.. Messianic Jews do falsely want us all to believe that Jesus remains firmly connected to unsaved Jewish people . and that Jerusalem is still “that great city “ , but he has temporarily forsaken them because they forsook him . The Same attempt is made on when these deceivers say that Jewish people are still God’s chosen people . But an unbelieving Jew will go to the same hell that an unbelieving Gentile will go to . if you are a Christian, do you believe that the Jews go to Hell? the Christian answer will be “yes, anyone who doesn’t accept Jesus as their saviour goes to hell.” I think the more interesting question is, when did most of Jews stop worshipping God? Before or after Jesus was born?
.
Christianity is not about the support for Israel, the Jews RATHER IT IS ABOUT SERVING GOD THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND BEING IN HEAVEN WITH HIM
.
Now natural Israel has no longer any standing before God, or any part in His future purposes. Jews will always be far from any right to the the promise land because of all their own unrepentant SINS, ACTS, even the blood shed of many others that they have killed from generations to generation even the shed blood of Jesus. (Mat 23:38 KJV) Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. The Jews alone have by their return to Israel have usurped the authority of the Lord God of Hosts Himself, who alone has the right to give and take away the land of Israel as so far there is no New testament word confirming any of it’s return.. …the Land belongs now to Jesus Christ alone and his bride the Church… it is all his, he had undeniably bought it with his life and redeemed it alone! The New Testament Scriptures makes it now certain that the national restoration of Israel after the flesh is not a part of the revealed will of God, but that the reverse is true. God regards natural Israel earthly kingdom with utter detestation, and He will never restore it, Next when John the Baptist preached to the Jewish people, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,” he was not announcing the setting up again of the earthly throne of David for Israel as many Jews, some professing Christians falsely hoped, believe it would happen again.
.
Christians and the current non-Christian Jews also do worship different gods , The Jews do not, did not truly honor Christ as the promised Messiah , but are looking for another that will come in his own name . The Talmud itself speaks of absolute mockery and hatred for Christ and Christians.
.
Jesus Said the Holy Spirit alone will guide and lead you into all truth, not some persons.. CHRIST – the anointed one- Greek for Messiah (anointed one) is Christos, Christ in English. Thus, “Jesus Christ” joins a name and a title, and means Jesus the Messiah. Christ, Messiah, Anointed One. The title “Christ” or “Anointed One” Gk. Christos “Cristov” occurs about 350 times in the New Testament.. The word christos means a person HOLY SPIRIT anointed . The Greek name for an individual “Christos” rendered “Christ” in Scripture, the basic of the term Christian now as well, comes from the Greek word “chrio” means to anoint with oil, the symbol of the Holy Spirit, one can tell if any person is a Christian cause they also can see the evidence of the holy spirit’s anointing.. so now we all can be anointed one inspectors of all Christians now too. Luke 4:18-19 (Wey) [Jesus:] “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim Good News to the poor; He has sent me to announce release to the prisoners of war and recovery of sight to the blind: to send away free those whom tyranny has crushed, to proclaim the year of acceptance with the Lord.”But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. . . . As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit–just as it has taught you, remain in him. 1 John 2:20, 27; The word christos means a person so anointed and the word chrisma refers to that by which a person is anointed. John uses chrisma in these two verses, not speaking of the object being anointed but of the instrument of anointing. Additionally, we find a word christianos in Acts 11:26, which means “one belonging to the Anointed One,” just as Herodianos would mean “one who belongs to Herod.” As the ultimate Prophet, King and Priest, Jesus Christ was anointed when he began his earthly ministry. This anointing was predicted by Isaiah in Isaiah 61:1 when he said that the Spirit of the Lord would come upon the Messiah. In God’s time, when Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, we are told the Holy Spirit came upon him when he came up out of the water. In other words, he was anointed by the Holy Spirit, and that without measure. When Jesus quoted Isaiah 61:1,2 in the synagogue of Nazareth, saying, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,” he was announcing to the people that he was the Messiah prophesied by Isaiah long ago and that the anointing of the Holy Spirit was now resting upon him. Not only is Jesus Christ anointed, but the Bible tells us that every believer in Jesus Christ is also anointed. We are kings, priests, and prophets under the Priest, Prophet and King, the Lord Jesus Christ. We find references to this in many places. John the Baptist said there was another person coming after him, mightier than himself, who would baptize people in the Holy Spirit and fire. In Acts 1:5 the Lord Jesus Christ himself speaks of this, saying, “For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” This was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost, as we read in Acts 2:4: “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” The Greek word for anointing is chrisma, from which we have the word chrism. Chrisma appears several times in 1 John 2:20 and 27. It comes from the root word, chriô, which means to rub something or someone lightly with a substance like oil or lotion. Thus, when John writes in 1 John 2:20, “But you have a chrisma, an anointing,” he was referring to the coming of the Holy Spirit upon every believer.;

Christianity is not about the support for Israel, the Jews

Many of the Jewish people.. play word and sound assimilation’s to arrive at their faulty conclusions . the bible warns of “ANOTHER JESUS.” the context is that Paul is making reference to someone who is called “Jesus” (Yeshua). But is someone who has a different IDENTITY, he is not the same in substance, he is not God in the flesh and therefore is not the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE (John 14:6). It is more important to have the MEANING of the word, when translating a word from one language to another, than it is to make sure everyone SPEAKS or pronounces it the same in all languages.

Isa 26:4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
.
The above quoted verses are the four verses where the name of God is pronounced in the KJV (as well as the ASV, and a few other English versions).
.
There is a VERY FALSE popular movement to replace the name of God, Jehovah, with the name Yahweh. This is being pushed especially hard among those in the Identity and Christian patriot movements, and especially among the alternative news community prominent on the shortwave, which some Christians perceive of as being a source of more purer form of broadcasted Christianity. There are exceptions, but overall this is nonsense because the shortwave Christian broadcasts are frequently every bit as commercialized (just different products) and apostate as the “Christianity” that is broadcasted on TV.
.
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
.
This movement to alter God’s name with absolutely nothing that resembles scriptural, textual, or linguistic support, has misled huge numbers of Christians into denying the Bible and accepting the work of Bible-scoffing atheists who have dominated the academic field of biblical studies since the mid-nineteenth century. I even hear people who claim to be King James Bible supporters use this perversion of the name of God. If they deny what the KJV says about the name of God, then they do not believe the KJV is God’s word. In fact, they do not believe that the Hebrew Old Testament is God’s word either, because it clearly says Yehovah, which becomes Jehovah in English pronunciation, and pronounced He’ova in Spanish. If one can change that word simply on a whim, which is all the Yahweh spelling is, then they can deny the spelling of absolutely any other word in the entire Hebrew Bible.

It still seems that anything anti Jewish is falsely distorted as being anti-Semitism again. And so is the New Testament, Christians, the apostles, and Jesus Christ now as well.. This is a Jewish lie, hoax.. Well Free speech, Human Rights, freedom of religion and freedom of religious beliefs is still my right for all even for non Jewish persons too.

When Jesus was on earth, he kept the laws of Moses — but he also criticized them. Soon after he went back to heaven, his followers met to decide whether any Christians should keep the laws of Moses. The question came to the foreground when people who weren’t Jewish began to follow Christ: “Some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, ‘The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses’” (Acts 15:5).. Anyone who knew the teachings of Jesus would already know that unbiblical traditions were not required. They did not need to debate about Jewish traditions.

Jesus also said that the greatest among you would be the servant of you all (Matthew 23:11).

Jesus in the gospels asked Peter: “Peter, do you love me?”, to which his Apostle answered “ Yes.”Jesus then says: “Feed my flock.”

Jesus is calling upon his disciples not just to walk daily with him and listen to his daily words, he is also calling upon all of his disciples to respond always in love,  this Obedience is not works to earn salvation, but rather the result of our trust in the Lord. Obedience demonstrates our real trust, respect, and love. Obedience is the confirmation  of our spiritual condition.

If you personally do know Jesus Christ, the holy Spirit they will lead and guide you into all truth, and help you to keep away from sin.. something the ten commandments do not do.. If you personally do  not know Jesus Christ, the holy Spirit then what  does it matter as you are headed to Hell anyway. How do you recognize if a person is a true Christian, or what is a Christian? “

It is amazing how new testament Bible ignorant persons falsely dispute the facts about Jews, Israel and Messianic Jews.. The New Covenant, the New testament, has replaced the Old Covenant, the old Testament.. the New Covenant is not a continuation of the old but it’s substitute. Judaism, plus JEWS are now dead to God and is Satanic! “…I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” —Revelation 2:9

MATT 22-35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

SO WHY DO MANY  NEGLECT THE REST OF THE NEW TESTAMENT? JESUS WAS ALSO TALKING TO A JEW SOLELY,

I KNOW OF ONLY TWO COMMANDMENTS  HE JESUS  ASKED US ALL TO OBEY, SO WHY ARE SOME CONTRADICTING JESUS AND CLAIMING THERE ARE OTHERS? REALLY.

Really now does Jesus” say to all if you love me keep my commandments, the MOSAIC Law and Jesus gave his disciples “a new commandment”and not the old commandments,

DO EVEN ANY OF THE APOSTLES CONFIRM THE OBSERVANCE OF THE DEAD NOW JEWISH LAWS?

Keeping the Sabbath,  This commandment has been one of the distinguishing features of the Jewish Religion. The Sabbath is meant to be about making life easy, but the Jews complicated matters by legislating what could or could not be done on the Sabbath. They created so many laws that the Sabbath became a burden to the people; rather than the blessing it was ordained to be.  https://postedat.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/christians-pretenders-who-hold-to-the-saturday-sabbath/

It would be impossible for anyone to observe all the commands that are applicable to the Jews, of which there are 613 according to Maimonides And for the 613 commandments to be kept, the Temple at Jerusalem would have to be built and a priesthood and the system of sacrificial offerings would have to be instituted. The same one God rather destroyed.

For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from unchastity. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell. (Acts 15:28–29)

God desires still peace on earth

obey

The Christian population is still dropping in Israel, Palestinian territories.. Christians make up only 1% of the population in the Palestinian territories today, down from 2% in 2000, and that is what Israel wants.. the disappearance of the Christian population is  a “social disaster.” The steady emigration of Christians  in Israel and the Palestinian territories is Not God’s will.. 

“ Christians are to be troubled when injustice is committed. We are especially troubled when it is perpetuated through the appropriation of Christian theology for ideological purposes.” Especially if it  is the Christian Zionism now as it leads  to the dehumanization of Israelis and Palestinians.,  is not based on traditional teaching or doctrines of the Church.,  fosters fear and hatred of Muslims and non-western Christians, it is a movement with negative consequences for Middle East peace and the  world. Many Christians even the evangelicals ones do not want to be identified as ideological Christian Zionists  as it contradicts the central commitments of Christianity to justice and peace-making. Many rightfully do question its false  theological assumptions.

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

“An astonishing and horrible thing has been committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own power; And my people love to have it so. But what will you do in the end?” (Jeremiah 5:30-31).

“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek” (Romans 1:16).

 Rev John Hagee ’s web site tells us that his “vision is for world evangelism. The burning passion of his heart is to win the lost to Jesus Christ in America and around the world.” That statement is not altogether true since he will not evangelize Jews and teaches salvation on another basis than the Gospel for the Jewish people. Interesting that the Apostles of Jesus did not preach this falsehood. Paul said that the wrath of God had come on Israel to the uttermost because they had rejected Jesus and the complete gospel of salvation (1 Thes 2:16).

 Rev John Hagee who is the Pastor  who left his wife and two small children and and married a women in his congregation on top of all that has no problem with Supporting solely the Jews to Live in Israel and Palestine.. He did this while was preaching  to others that  “Christians  don’t steal or lie,  they don’t get divorced or have abortions.”   John Hagee was once  the leader of the charismatic Trinity Church in 1975 and was the father of two children. John Hagee had an adulterous affair with a woman and admitted to immorality in front of his church. Pastor John Hagee then divorced the mother of his two children and married a younger woman (Diana Castro, now Diana Hagee) from that same congregation. Pastor John Hagee   abused his position of trust and power to take to  cheat on his wife. John Hagee married the woman he cheated on his wife with and immediately became the pastor of another congregation- the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio Texas.  Rev John Hagee   was kicked out as a minister with the Assembly of God organization for his admitted adultery.  Needless to say his false supporters can find their own false justifications for this..

The same John Hagee who  had said “All hurricanes are acts of God because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they were recipients of the judgment of God for that.”   But do first note that Jesus Christ who is God had himself had rebuked the winds and the waves.. Matthew 8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! Luke 8: 25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

“I’m delighted to present my latest book, In Defense Of Israel. This book will expose the sins of the fathers and the vicious abuse of the Jewish people. In Defense Of Israel will shake Christian Theology. It scripturally proves that the Jewish people as a whole did not reject Jesus as Messiah. It will also prove that Jesus did not come to earth to be the Messiah. It will prove that there was a Calvary Conspiracy between Rome, the High Priest and Herod to execute Jesus as an insurrectionist too dangerous to live. Since Jesus refused by word and deed to claim to be the Messiah, how can the Jews be blamed for rejecting what was never offered?” Rev John Hagee.  Any New Testament Bible literate persons knows this is falsehoods, rubbish . Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah (Christ)? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son (1 John 2:22).

The same Rev John Hagee dumps all Christians into one great anti-Semitic slop-jar and accuses them all falsely of being Jew haters. He falsely claims the origin of anti-Semitism was begun by early Christians and we assume by this he means by Jesus, the Apostles, and early Believers. The same John Hagee that had created and distributed a commercial featuring him attacking the Catholic Church for helping plan the murder of Jesus but don’t ask me how this happened, considering that the Catholic Church wasn’t founded till much later after the Jews undeniably killed Jesus Christ. He falsely preaches that by giving large sums of money to the Jews and falsely even denying Jesus is the Messiah, any Gentile  can find  salvation and greater favor with God and modern Israelites.  For him falsely Calvary plus friendship with the still antichrist Jews = salvation. 

How could any true Christian now who confesses that the lord Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, belong to this Messiah rejecting organization, say that Jesus was not the Messiah of Israel or that Jesus was a Messiah but not the one for the Jewish people.  He was a Messiah only for non-Jews.? They cannot. “Every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ (Messiah) is come in the flesh is not of God” (1John 4:3a).

“This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ (Messiah); not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth” (1John 5:6).

John Hagee is not of God, never was of God, is not a true man of God, is not a real Minister of the Gospel of Christ (Messiah).

The same  John Hagee gets now in return for his heretical ministry a $2.1 million dollar 7,969 acre ranch with not one, but FIVE lodges, a managers house, a gun locker, a smoke house, a skeet range and three barns. In the year 2001, John Hagee received $842,000 in salary and $414,485 in benefits making him one of the best paid Pastor. He certainly is trying to get all the rewards on earth very much unlike Jesus Christ and the Apostles too.

There is still no New Testament substantiation, or predict diction, prophecy that Israel would have their promised land returned after the Jews being evicted by the Romans from Israel. in the whole new Testament..  yet Rev Pat Robertson was telling John Kerry that pursuing peace strategies in the Middle East is “asking for the wrath of Almighty God to fall on this nation” because “any deal that includes territorial concessions to the Palestinians, including Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem, will lead to divine retribution and ‘catastrophic’ consequences”  and yet there is absolutely no such Biblical references in the whole New testament.. If you think he is smart by saying so, please indicate the verse to us all..

The term  “Jewish People” is a political construct, an invention. for most Jews are still not even not religious or  Zionists.Very  few Jews are  Zionists  Besides  the majority of Jews, including many Zionists, have not the slightest intention of going “back” to the Holy Land, much preferring,   to stay put in the USA, north London, or Brooklyn or wherever.. The “Land of Israel” is barely mentioned in the Old Testament: the more common expression is the Land of Canaan. When it is mentioned, it does not include Jerusalem, Hebron, or Bethlehem. Biblical “Israel” is only northern Israel (Samaria) and there never was a united kingdom including both ancient Judea and Samaria.  Even In traditional Judaism there is no injunction to “return” to the “land of Israel”. The ritual “next year in Jerusalem” that is part of the Passover Seder prayer was never a call to action, or to reconstitute a state

The New Testament of Jesus Christ has superseded the Old testament for the Jews. We all as should take issue with any  idea that we will reap some sort of damnation from God if we help a war-torn area achieve peace.  A two-state solution would save thousands of lives and bring peace to an area wrought with suffering — it’s time to waive the  true interpretation of the  Bible around, as it’s always time to save lives.

Most Americans also still do not go along with Pat Robertson’s views,  Or John Hagee’s according to the Public Religion Research Institute, a  majority (53%) of American Jews say that, generally speaking, they would support the establishment of a Palestinian state, overcoming  out the 42% who say they would be opposed. Additionally, a poll by the U.S. State Department indicates that 74% of Israelis believe a peace agreement that leads to both states “living side by side as good neighbors” to be “essential or desirable.”;  

Recent Opinion polls of Israelis, Palestinians and Americans still have rightfully found a majority  support for a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Even most Jewish Americans continue to support “assertive American leadership to achieve a two-state solution.”  as  72 percent of American Jews agree that a two-state solution is an important national security interest for the United States. Even the Jewish  “attitudes toward settlements are highly negative,” and “by a 60 to 40 percent margin, American Jews oppose the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.”  Peace everywhere is what everyone rightfully desires rather. and not more Jewish or Muslim wars..

“Why do bad things happen to supposedly good people?” cause God is chastening us? or not!

THE BIBLE ITSELF SAYS that the ignorant fools do not even know why they have so many problems or what to do with or about  them.

.

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

.

Psalms 107:17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

.
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
2 Peter 2: 9    The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
Psalms 10: 43    Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
.
and here I often get an absurd response that the person is innocent, good, he or she has done no wrong and is not a sinner even.. 
Matthew 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21    Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22    But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23    Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24    And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
But their ignorance also of the Holy Spirit and his workings is even apparent to me
.
Yes we are all  sinful each one of us, and secondly, we do live in a sin-cursed, sin-stained fallen world, a world controlled by the devil.  as a direct result we face daily many difficulties, struggles too.
.
It is this also true God even allows bad things to happen to His people to wean them from their sins and from the  world… . to separate the chaff from the wheat.. or to reveal  what you love most. If you love your money, possessions, family etc., over God for example.. Trials, extremities, difficulties in life will always reveal what you love most.. are there even to cause a change in one’s  direction..
.
John 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
.
or God even allows bad things to happen to His people to cause them to be more compassionate on others…
.
2 Corinthians 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
.
Psalms 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
.
Ezekiel 14:23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD
.
Chastening, trials also allow God to teach us obedience..
.
1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
.
Hebrews 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
.
1 Corinthians 4:11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
.
God even allows bad things to happen to His people to test the validity of their faith … 
.
2 Chronicles 32:30    This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 31    Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
.
Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
.
Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
.
Romans 5:
1    Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2    By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3    And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4    And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5    And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6    For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7    For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8    But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9    Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10    For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11    And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
.
1 Peter 2
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
.
James 5
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.
.
James 4
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
.
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
.
Can it supposedly be true now that  a professing Christian persons now  continually is having difficulties, problems in his life and  it is mainly cause God is chastening him.. and yet it seems to me that even  if you know that God is chastening you for your sins, even the sins of obedience, the chastening is short lived  if you would humble yourself and confess your sins, repent, stop the specific  wrong doings and all that  would not God now next forgive you and stop thus type of chastening? 
.
Does not God say also 2 Corinthians 1: 11  that  through the  prayers of others next God’s  favor will be bestowed upon the afflfflicted person, and they will be delivered  
.
James 5:16 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.
.
John 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
.
or is there really another major reasons this persons is having Satan buffeting him?  Is someone falsely too proud and that still is the reason they are supposedly being punished?  Now apostle Paul was clearly buffeted by sin for his past unacceptable sins of persecuting,  killing Christian.. is that why so many are facing satanic buffetings now?
.
2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
.
Hebrews 5: 2    Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
.
Psalms 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
.
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.

Ps 138:7  Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve my life. You stretch out Your hand against the anger of my foes; with Your right hand You save me.
.
Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
.
Many persons are falsely still living in the Kingdom of self.. There Is Absolutely No Doubt Many Many Professing Christians Are Misleading Themselves That They Are Real Christians, even sincerely. and because their own false definition of what is a real Christian is firstly unBiblical. Being a Christian does not mean accepting that Jesus Christ is God or merely being a follower of Christ, it includes even giving over your whole life, possessions, goals, desire, aims, dreams, ambitions to the lord Jesus Christ and there is no such thing as Giving Jesus only a portion of your life.
.
2 Peter 2:
1    But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2    And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3    And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4    For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5    And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6    And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7    And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8    (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9    The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
.
Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side. Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain, leave to thy God to order and provide, in every change He faithful will remain. Be still my soul, thy best thy heavenly friend through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. Be still my soul, thy God doth undertake to guide the future as He has the past, thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake. All now mysterious shall be bright at last, be still my soul, the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below. Be still my soul, the hour is hastening on when we shall be forever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, sorrows forgot. Love’s purest joy is restored. Be still my soul, when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.”
.
2 Corinthians 1: 
1    Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2    Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3    Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4    Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5    For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6    And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
7    And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
8    For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
9    But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
10    Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11    Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
.
By the way, “we had the sentence of death in ourselves,” is a fascinating Greek word, apokrima, it’s used only here. It means, basically it’s a technical word for passing an official resolution. And he uses a legal term for passing the official death sentence. He says, “I pass the official death sentence on myself.”
.
James 1:
1    James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2    My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3    Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4    But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5    If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6    But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7    For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8    A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9    Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10    But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11    For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12    Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
13    Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14    But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15    Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16    Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17    Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18    Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19    Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20    For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21    Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22    But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23    For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24    For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25    But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26    If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Matthew 5 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 7 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Luke 15 7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. 10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

“Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers. “And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His  commandments or not. “So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.  ”Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. “You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.  ”Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. Deuteronomy 8:1-6

.

If suffering and poverty were God’s will in any shape or form for His people then God would not have delivered His people from Egypt and spoiled them with the wealth of Egypt. (God gave them so much silver and gold that they not only built the tabernacle with it but they have enough to take with them to the promised land.)  If poverty was God’s will He would not have brought them to a promised land – a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which they ate bread without scarcity, in which they lacked nothing; a land whose stones were iron and out of whose hills they dug copper. A land where they built beautiful houses and dwell in them; where their herds and their flocks multiplied, and their silver and gold were multiplied, and all that they had was multiplied. (Deuteronomy 8:7-13)  God’s word is unchanging:

.

“And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. Deuteronomy 8:18

.

“Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, You who seek the LORD:  Look to the rock from which you were hewn,  And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.  Look to Abraham your father,  And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him.”   For the LORD will comfort Zion,  He will comfort all her waste places; He will make her wilderness like Eden,  And her desert like the garden of the LORD;  Joy and gladness will be found in it, Thanksgiving and the voice of melody. Isaiah 51:1-3

.

THE ELDER,    To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth:  Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.  For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. 3 John 1:1-3

.

Yes, God gives power to get wealth that that He may establish His covenant with His people. The problem that God’s people are not wealthy and prosperous is not with God but with His people who live in a wilderness of their own choosing and have not claimed all that is rightfully theirs. God’s has stated that His people can have whatever they desire and if they desire to have nothing and living in spiritual and physical poverty that is their choice! He will not interfere with their choices because God is a perfect gentleman and gives them the desires of their hearts:

.

May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, And fulfill all your purpose. Psalm 20:4

You have given him his heart’s desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah Psalm 21:2

Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12

.

Yes, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah,  David and Samuel and the prophets  through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,  quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. They just didn’t let things happen through their faith they made things too happen. Spoils of war went to those who fought in the battles even of their own choosing. The bible records for our profit and instruction:

.

By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,  choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,  esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. Hebrews 11:24-31

.

Yes, Moses when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,  choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,  esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. Yes, the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days but only after Joshua did what the LORD had commanded him to do:

.

After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying:  ”Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them-the children of Israel. “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.  ”From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. “Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Joshua 1:1-6

.

Joshua chose to believe the LORD and act upon the words that He had given him including “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you.” Yes, God is speaking constantly to His people but they don’t hear Him or unlike Joshua refuse to act on His words:

.

Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.  ”You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days.  ”And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. “It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.” Joshua 6:1-5

.

Joshua believed God and went to war against Jericho and marched around the city once for six days. And then on the seventh day he marched around the city seven times, and the priests  blew the trumpets and all the people shouted with a great shout  then the wall of the city fell down just like God promised. Yes obedience to the words spoken by God and through His true prophets brings success and prosperity and spoils of war.  God’s word is unchanging:

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.  ”He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.  ”And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;  ”they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”   So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.  And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen. Mark 16:15-20

.

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. John 14:12

.

It is a fact that western Christianity might be rich in organization, theology, doctrine, and tradition, but it is poor in spirit and sorely needed re-centering on the foundation from which it had strayed: the living Christ. Although the West owes so many of its blessings to Christianity there is little a desire for higher things. It worships, not God, but armed force, power, material things and fame. The West is like Judas Iscariot, who ate with Jesus, only to later deny him. The West ought to fear the fate of Judas, lest it hang itself on the tree of learning and knowledge rather than faith in God. They have for centuries been surrounded by Christianity, entirely steeped in its blessings, but the God’s truth has not penetrated them. Christianity is not at fault but rather in the hardness of their hearts. Materialism and intellectualism have made their hearts hard. The cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches have choked the words of Jesus sown in their hearts. Just as salty seawater cannot quench thirst, much of American religion cannot satisfy a spiritually thirsty person because it is saturated with materialism. God’s word is unchanging:

.

“Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. “But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

.

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;  ”but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. Matthew 13:22-25

.

God’s people cannot blame everything on their enemy, the devil, they must take responsibility for their own sins and choices in life and must repent of them. True riches come from God and not from what men pursue.  http://walthope.wordpress.com/2013/02/04/by-bread-alone/

Notice that there are two category of persons, one Category includes this persons who cry to God and he hears their prayers, does not meet their needs, and delivers them from their oppressions and hears their prayers. this group is the humble servants of God.
.
Psalms 107:19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

.
But there is also another category of persons who cry unto God and God doe not hear their prayers.. This group is the self willed persons.

Psalms 107:
1    O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2    Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3    And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4    They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5    Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6    Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7    And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8    Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9    For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10    Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11    Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12    Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13    Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14    He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15    Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16    For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17    Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18    Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19    Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20    He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21    Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22    And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23    They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
24    These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
25    For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26    They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27    They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end.
28    Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29    He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30    Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31    Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32    Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33    He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34    A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35    He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36    And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37    And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38    He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39    Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40    He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41    Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
42    The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43    Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
It has been my too many years of personal experiences that the perverse Pentecostal preachers, the  prosperity prostitutes, adulterers, adulterers persons, some of them who falsely even  tithe to get richer, and not rather to help the poor persons,  are still really nits, for they do clearly now as well do really despise the poor and needy persons, and falsely covet to be richer and yes they also they can be found in both the secular and religious camps, yes their own attitudes, behaviors tend to be very similar. Even the very loudly professing Christians, the religious persons, the rather still carnal persons, the Judas followers,  while they now even do profess to be moral good living persons  but still when it comes to making more money they clearly bend their rules on morality, ethics, honesty, and they will even cheat, lie steal to acquire more wealth… they do also mainly still also do see other people as slave objects, slaves that can be used to help them increase their personal acquisition,  and they will cast out, sell out their poor  relatives, relationships still too..  but they still will even profess to be good persons even Christians  now too… and try to buy their way into heaven.
.
I can truly say I have walked with great joy the last 25 years, God meeting all of my needs, and any difficulties , trials I faced they were quite short lived now too.. they do not go on and on.. while God still corrects me  I have not been during this time  punished for any of my sins, cause I gave myself all to the Lord Jesus Christ.. all.

Have you also accepted a false Jesus?

“You are wrong because you know neither the Scriptures or the  power of God” (Malt 22: 29).
The False professing Christians who  have rejected the Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, they are easily deceived because they cannot tell the difference between the  authentic gifts of the Holy Spirit and Satan’s counterfeits (2 Thess. 2: 9). 

 

THEY RATHER STILL FALSELY DO   BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT AND IT’S STILL A DEMONIC SPIRIT!!  UNDERSTAND WHY MANY  DO RIGHTFULLY CALL THEM DEMONIZED PERSONS. 
 
“There is only “one anointing” and that “anointing” is Holy Spirit  (1 Jn. 2: 27). To seek other so-called anointings is to open the door to evil  spirits (demons) who will possess and harass and cause sickness and death.  Jesus warned, “False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs  and wonders to lead astray, if possible, the elect” (Mk. 13: 22). And, it is  happening today.  “How can so many Christians be deceived?” Most churches & pastors have  rebelled against the necessity to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts “Signs, Wonders & Miracles” 2: 4), the authentic “signs” of a real believer (Mk. 16: 17- 20) and the Gifts  of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 12: 6-8; 1 Cor. 12: 8- 10)and, therefore, church  members have absolutely no way to tell the difference between the  authentic “gifts from heaven” and the devil’s counterfeits (Thess. 2: 9).  There is only one “order of worship” in the New Testament (1 Cor. 14: 26- 40). If followed, our worship is “done decently and in order”. If it is not  followed, our worship services are “indecent and out of order”. Many people  try to suggest that they would rather have the “fruit of the Spirit” (Gal. 5:  22-23). There is no such choice. No gifts means no fruit. Paul comrnanded,  “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of  your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect  will of God (Rom. 12: 2) which is done by using the Gifts of the Holy Spirit  so people can have their needs met (Rom. 12: 6- 8). Because most  Christians have rejected the Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, they  are easily deceived because they cannot tell the difference between the  authentic gifts of the Holy Spirit and Satan’s counterfeits (2 Thess. 2: 9). 

I have been involved in  ministry for many years. And, I have observed that if a pastor or Christian  cannot tell the difference between the work of the Holy Spirit and the works  of the devil, then that person has been completely deceived. While being a  pastor and member of the 100 Huntley Street Television Ministry located in  Canada, I was asked to do a “Scriptural Check-up” of all of our guests who  shared their teachings and the testimonies. I would make an on-air  Scriptural evaluation of what they said. It was then, that I discovered that  many teachings and doctrines that well-meaning pastors and Christians “Signs, Wonders & Miracles” shared sounded alright but when examined by the Scriptures, they were  unscriptural and wrong. I discovered that people whom I respected could not  tell the difference between the work of the Holy Spirit and the work of the  enemy. Demons give people a religious experience that causes them to  throw aside everything Biblical. They possess people who are not Baptized with the Holy Spirit and they will torment those who have been Baptized  with the Holy Spirit. The Toronto Airport Ministry has been doing the same things, for the most  part, as what has been happening in Lakeland. The leadership there cannot  tell the difference between the work of the Holy Spirit and demons. For over  more than 10 years, we have had to cast demons out of people who  received them by transference of spirits in those meetings. The numbers  have been too large to count. The victimized people have the symptoms of  possession. They  have no control over their physical bodies and since demons will imitate the  symptoms of various physical, mental and emotion disorders. Most of them look like they are suffering from epilepsy with uncontrollable shaking and  twitching, constantly doubling over . They do not speak in tongues but make  strange noises which mimic the gift of tongues just as I have observed in the  meetings in Lakeland: barking like dogs and making other animalistic  sounds. The so-called prophecy is unscriptural and false when examined by  Scripture. The violence of belly bumping is not ministry. The kicking people  as a method of healing is not done by the encouragement of the Holy Spirit  but rather from the one of whom Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal  and kill and destroy; I came that they might have life , and have it  abundantly” (Jn. 10: 10). What is being portrayed on the platform by  Bentley and those who encourage him is NOT ABUNDANT LIFE. The so-called people who were raised from the dead have been investigated  and found to be a lie. I have the reports. The reports of healings have, for the most part, also been lies.   The heart of the  problems coming out of Lakeland, is that many  have been  deceived.   Paul wrote, “Now the Spirit  expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving  heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, through the pretensions of  liars whose consciences are seared”   Jesus warned,  He will “blot his name out of the book of life” (Rev. 3: 5). This is what Judson Cornwall wrote about in his  book, “Let Us Praise” , which he called “the worship of demons” (1 Cor. 10:  20; Rev. 9: 20). This is what is called a “familiar spirit” or plainly a demon. I  have cast these kinds of demons into the abyss who have come to people’s  home pretending to be the spirits of the dead relatives. The Apostle Paul in 1 Cor. 14: 26f. tells us what a service or meeting guided  by the Holy Spirit is supposed to be like and there is nothing in those  meetings that shows or demonstrates that what is occurring is being done  “decently and in order” (1 Cor. 14: 40). Everything that happens in those  127 days has been “indecent and out of order”. Sir, you had better read what Paul writes in 2 Thess. 4: 11: “Therefore Gods  sends them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false, so that all  may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in  unrighteousness.”  It has always puzzled me how people who  have supposedly had a long ministry cannot tell the difference between the  work of the Holy Spirit and the work of demons. I mentioned Kathryn  Kuhlman in my report. If you can obtain a video of her ministry, look at it  carefully and compare her ministry to that of what is going on in Lakeland  and other places and maybe your eyes will be opened to see that there is a  reason why she said, “The Holy Spirit is a gentleman. He will never do  anything to embarrass of hurt you.” What is going on in those Lakeland meetings is  not from Jesus Christ.  And, these meetings are showing us clearly who is not “the faithful and wise  servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their  food at the proper time” (Matt. 24: 45). What we are seeing here a devilish  entertainment counterfeit of the work of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit…    those whom Paul talked to when he wrote, “O FOOLISH Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should  not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set  forth, crucified among you?” (Gal. 3: 1). “Bewitched” is the word. I have a  ministry in which we minister salvation, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, equip  Christians with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 1: 11), healing and  deliverance. I listen to men like David Wilkerson, of whom you might have  heard, who know the Scriptures and the power of God and who says and “Signs, Wonders & Miracles” writes the same things about this abomination that has accepted everything  that is a denial of the New Testament and ends up in the “love of money”  with ATM machines available so well-meaning seekers can be milked of their  money.    I would suggest that you had better repent for your involvement  because your acceptance of this counterfeit of the work of the Holy Spirit  and distance yourself as far as you can or it will land you in hell (Matt. 21 –23). This is not a revival from Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy  Spirit. When I started in ministry, I would never have believed that so many  people who are desperate for a legitimate revival could be so easily deceived  and over-look the work of the devil who provides them with a “form of  religion” which when closely examined, “lacking the power thereof”. “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is not  strange if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of  righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds” (2 Cor. 11: 15).  I have always taught that when you know the Holy Spirit and His works and  the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and learn to use them skillfully under the  guidance of the Holy Spirit, the counterfeits are easily recognized. When, the  same things that are happening in Lakeland started happening in Toronto, I  asked my wife to come and see what was going on there. She walked in looked around and said, “This is not the work of the Holy Spirit. Let’s leave  right away.” And, we did. I have written three reports about the Toronto  Airport and these manifestations that are not from the Holy Spirit and not  Scriptural. Many  have lost that ability because the  do not have the  gift of “discerning of spirits” (1 Cor. 12: 10) or you would have seen through  the deception of Bentley and those who are using him in works that produce  people possessed with demons. Open your Bible and see if there is anything  the New Testament like what you in Lakeland  are trying to defend. I also know, that  because of people like yourself, perpetuating a work from the devil which is  victimizing people who are seeking Salvation and the Baptism of the Holy  Spirit and the Biblical ministry, Christians like myself will have to cast the  demons out of them because you, are like the Sadducees, to whom Jesus  said, “You are wrong, because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God” (Matt. 22: 29). It is because of people like yourself and those  that support fraudulent spiritual ministry that Paul wrote, “I have applied all  this to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brethren, that you may learn  from us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up  in favor of one against another. For who sees anything different in you?  What have you that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you  boast as if it were not a gift? (1 Cor. 4: 6 – 7).  What you Karl Strader [mailto:kstrader@cfaith.comhave told me in your testimony is that after all of those years of “Signs, Wonders & Miracles” being a pastor, you have failed in the end because you are more interested  in numbers and not in the quality and Scriptural correctness ministry that is  done in the Name of Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit  according to our Heavenly Father’s will. You have confirmed what the  Holy Spirit and the Scriptures have proven to me that what is going on in  Lakeland is not from Jesus Christ… you still have time to repent and have your eyes opened to what  Lakeland and Toronto Airport

Avoid such people.

except
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.  2 Timothy 3:1-7

 Self-love: “Inordinate regard for self to the neglect of others and indifference to their needs. In narcissism the attention is centered on the body, especially sexual self-satisfaction.”  They have a need to be kept amused, entertained like little children now too..

“Pathological narcissism is characterized by at least five of the following characteristics:

A need for constant attention and admiration

A sense of entitlement

Interpersonally exploitative (i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends)

Lack of empathy (is unwilling or unable to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others)

Envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

An arrogant and haughty behavior or attitude

A preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

A belief that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people”

Most Marriage today now tend to  tend be narcissistic with the  spouses  still mostly   seeking constant admiration or success to fill their  voids. For some reasons like the job stress, alcoholism, drug abuse, mental illness, lack of spiritual maturity, physical disability, lack of parenting skills, self-centered immaturity, etc. the narcissistic family revolves around getting the parents’ desires and needs met rather than also meeting the needs of the children. The Biblical pattern of parents meeting their children’s needs is reversed here..  Jesus  Christ  himself  does not  fit into their family still..

“Narcissists are proud and they are sinful—as we all are. But they aren’t just proud and just sinful. Pathological narcissism  is a personality style that is deeply rooted in the structure of the entire personality from the first few years of life. It too often still cannot be overcome by simply confessing one’s sins but not  committing to change. For many Growing out of narcissism is a long, slow, difficult, hardship filled life painful  process that may take years. As “Narcissistic personalities typically seek treatment only when their sense of specialness or invincibility is threatened through a major life crisis…. “”

“To love like Christ, there is no room for self-love. Well, one cannot embrace oneself  and have one’s  arms outstretched  to embrace her neighbor at the same time. Love for self exists, only because God loves His creation. Thus, we care for what He has created. To go beyond this, one becomes a Narcissus, who loves his own reflection when opportunity for greater, more enduring Love,  stands by weeping.  Philosophies and mindsets, antithetical to the mind of Christ, are not only innate to the flesh but are satanic expressions of the world system.  These narcissistic mindsets or worldviews are doors through which the demonic operates, influencing the minds of men thus directing the rhythm of life. Only demonic people still are mainly  self centered  Recall the ancient myth of Narcissus. The lovely boy catches sight of his countenance in a pool and falls enamored of himself. But he does not then leave the pool to boast of himself wherever he can, as foolish and proud as that might be. Instead, he loses all genuine connection between himself and other living creatures by perpetually admiring his reflection. Narcissism does not expand the soul, but rather contracts it …”


 1 Corinthians 5
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Ephesians 5
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

2 Corinthians 6
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

And what is your false excuse in still dealing with the bad persons? There is none!

1 Corinthians 3:21 “Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;”

2 Corinthians 4:5 “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.”

John 7:18 “He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.”

“For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2

Galatians 6:14 “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.”

But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.” Matthew 23:8-12

We all have an equal right to speak and to be heard..

Luke 2:39-52

[39] When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. [40] And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

[41] Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. [42] When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom. [43] After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. [44] Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. [45] When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. [46] After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. [47] Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. [48] When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”

[49] “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” [50] But they did not understand what he was saying to them.

[51] Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. [52] And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

It is really sad that desperate, oppressed sheep want to believe anything without checking directly with God, Jesus,  the Holy Spirit first. 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Revelation 16
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

The devil wants us to be ostriches, to take his false abuses and to falsely shut up.. but no way,, we all still do have a right to speak and to be heard.

But  we serve God and not ourselves, we are only God’s  servants.. doing that which he God  has commanded us to do

Matthew 10
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

Luke 1
74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

Romans 6
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Romans 7
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Hebrews 12
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Revelation 7
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

2 Peter 2
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

Luke 7
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

and he Jesus was prophetically telling us to tell the Baptists that Jesus still heals today too ehh

Matthew 21
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

Mark 13
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

Luke 17
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

Acts 1
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

Acts 10
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

Acts 13
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

Matthew 23
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Matthew 25
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Luke 17
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

Matthew 5
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

Philippians 4
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

 

Hebrews 6

10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

James 5

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.

1 John 1

1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

2 John 1

8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

 

The false refusal to repent

.
Mat 15:8  This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9  But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
.
It may seem to be natural but most persons tend to take an ostrich approach when confronted  with their own real  need to deal with the much to many personal sins, unacceptable negatives values in their own life but nevertheless it does lead to one facing some very serious personally negative consequences next anyway
.
Many even professing Christian persons are falsely  still  relying on isolated verses out of thousands to support their imaginary eternal forgiveness,  salvation,  to the false exclusions of the rest  of the Bible.
,
Merely Believing waht the Bible says still is not salvation,; There is a serious realy big difference: between a mere 1) mental assents to Jesus being the Son of God, the sole provision for the forgiveness of all of man’s sins vs. 2) to believe all that he Jesus also commands us all and advises us to do— ie. to realy obey Him. Even the demons now do  believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and they tremble; and that is not eneough, for  we must not believe in Him, Jesus Christ , but we all must daily believe and do continually all what He tells us to do till the end.;
.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. James 1:22
◦Now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed. Rom 13:11
◦Continue to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Phil 2:12
◦But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. 1 Thes 5:8
◦For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing; but to us who are being saved the cross is the power of God. 1 Cor 1:18.
◦Godly sorrow produces repentance that leads to salvation. 2 Cor 7:10
◦Do not grieve the holy Spirit of God, by whom you are sealed unto the day of redemption. Eph 4:30
◦For we are the sweet aroma of Christ unto God, to those who are being saved. 2 Cor 2:15
◦We are made partakers of Christ, if we hold firm the beginning of our confidence to the end. Heb 3:14
◦For you need endurance in order to do God’s will, so that after you may receive the promise. Heb 10:36
◦We desire that every one of you show the same diligence in realizing the full assurance of hope to the end.
So that you are not slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Heb 6:11-12;
Sadly still for most persons There is no fear of God before their eyes. Rom 3:1
Indeed, to them you are like a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument,for they hear your words but they do not do [obey] them. Eze 33:32
.
Jesus had said to first seek the  the Kingdom of God and His righteousness;
1 Sam 15:22  And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.  23  For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
.
To believe is to obey; if you are not obedient, your belief is only the hypocrites’ lip service. Obedience leads to receiving the Holy Spirit — Obedience leads to righteousness — Obedience leads to salvation.;
.
Jesus said: all who sin [practice lawlessness] will be gathered out of His Kingdom and cast into the fire, where there will be great wailing and gnashing of teeth. Mat 13:41-42
Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?
But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice, is like a man who built a house upon the earth without a foundation;.. and the ruin of that house was great. Luke 6:46-49;
.
To personally have God Son Jesus Christ dwelling in you is to also possess the Son and Father in your heart in a sufficient measure that he is your true Lord directing your thoughts, words and deeds, thus becoming become free from all wrong doings, sin.;
For this purpose the Son of God is revealed [in us], that he might destroy [in us] the works [sin] of the devil. 1 John 3:8;
 .
Unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Luke 13:3,5
.
And that repentance and release from bondage of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.;Luke 24:47
.
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and how to live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;….that he might redeem us from all iniquity [lawless deeds, sin], and purify for himself a people who are his very own, zealous for good works. Tit 2:11-14.;
.
Personal Repentance is an onward, daily event.But sadly too often inward cross of self-denial has been forgotten, dismissed, ignored, and treated with contempt; yet Jesus told us repeatedly that no one can be his disciple, or is worthy of him, without carrying their cross and following him.;
.
All Scripture is Given by Inspiration of GOD, and is Profitable for Doctrine, for Reproof, for Correction, for Instruction in Righteousness:  That the man of GOD may be Perfect, Thoroughly Furnished unto All Good Works.~2 Timothy 3:16-17~♥~
 .
Too many of Today’s ministers have eyes full of adultery, [love of money, not God], who cannot cease from sin, beguiling unstable souls; they have exercised their hearts in covetous practices, they are cursed children. They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness… For whom black darkness is reserved. For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they lure through the lusts of the flesh and much wantonness, those who were barely escaping from those who live in error. While they promise them freedom, they themselves are servants of corruption; for by whatever a man is overcome, he is enslaved. 2 Peter 2:12-19.;
.

Like the Pharisees, too many of today’s ministers shut the kingdom of heaven against men; for they neither go in themselves, nor do they allow those who are entering to go in. Mat 23:13
Like the Pharisees, too many of today’s ministers like to walk about in long robes and love to be greeted [with honor] in places where people congregate and love the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at feasts.

.
Like the Pharisees, too many today’s ministers outwardly seem to people to be just and upright but inside they are full of pretense and lawlessness and iniquity [sin], and grasping self-indulgence. They feed themselves while fleecing the sheep; and they are greedy dogs who can never have enough; they are shepherds who cannot understand; they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

Micah 3:5  Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him. Micah 3:6  Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. Micah 3:7  Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners…confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God. Micah 3:8  But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. Micah 3:9  Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. Micah 3:10  They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. Micah 3:11  The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. Micah 3:12  Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest. Micah 4:1  But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. Micah 4:2  And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Micah 4:3  And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Micah 4:4  But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. Micah 4:5  For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever..
.
1 John 2:15  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
.
Jer 15:18  Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? 19  Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. 20  And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
.
Gal 2:19  For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. Gal 2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal 2:21  I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Gal 3:1  O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? Gal 3:2  This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Gal 3:3  Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Gal 3:4  Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. Gal 3:5  He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Gal 3:6  Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

.
Mat 7:24  Therefore whosoever  25  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: :27  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. —
