Created in every individual is a spiritual void. Like a vacuum, this void is designed to be filled. During the early period of life it remains empty as the individual is presented with two diametrically opposed filling agents–righteousness and sin. Upon arriving at the age of accountability–the age at which one can discern the difference–man […]
The Body of Christ
I was once told something that everyone in “the church” is absolutely sure of: that each believer is free to interpret the Bible to suit him/herself. This in the face of God’s statement: “… knowing this FIRST of all, that NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION, for prophecy never came by the […]
Human nature (cont. 3)
When the apostate movement that came to be known as the Catholic Church was formed by Satan following the deaths of the apostles, the “mother” of false Christendom soon had the majority of people following and obeying her. Today, Catholicism (the “great whore, mystery, Babylon) and her “harlot daughters” (Protestantism) have gone the way of […]
Human nature (cont. 2)
When God created Adam He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Not only did God’s breath give life to a dead man, it also gave man the power to understand various options, weigh the merits of each, then make a decision using his human spirit. No other earthly creature (created entity) has this […]
Human nature (cont. 1)
In Eden God established His first church which He intended to rule the world. However, with the fall of His first parishioners, Satan gained control of the world and throughout history has used his religious institutions to control most of it. Through his various religions he exerts his will over the affairs of men. As […]
Human Nature
Is the human being born a sinner as we have been taught? Did God, Who is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34) allow or cause each and every human born after Adam and Eve’s fall to be automatically infected with a spiritual virus called sin? Does man acquire a sin nature at conception? No. But […]
“… perfect” (cont. 5)
In Matthew 5 we find Jesus making reference to those who have accepted God as the Director of their lives. Of these Jesus highlights those who are meek, who mourn, etc. In verse six He speaks of those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, promising to fill them. To be “filled”with righteousness leaves no room […]
“… perfect” (cond. 4)
In Matthew 6:33 we are commanded to seek the righteousness of God. Seeking entails effort. If I “seek” to pay my bills I must work to be able to do so. “SEEK the Lord while He may be FOUND” (Isa. 55:6). If, as the church maintains, it is impossible for man to produce righteousness by […]
“… perfect” (cont. 3)
Due to a combination of “Once saved, always saved” and “Jesus died so that I can sin and get away with it” doctrines the Counterfeit Church continues her repeated rebuke of God time after time, ad infinitum. Hear what the Lord says: “… if WE (Paul included) continue to sin after coming to the knowledge […]
“… perfect” (cont) 2
When a child is learning to walk he repeatedly stumbles and falls down, which is expected. Parents know that during that most difficult learning process they will have to help the child repeatedly. However, with the passage of time less and less help is needed. Soon the child ceasing stumbling altogether, which is expected. But […]
