The Old Testament God–Who would later come to earth as Jesus of Nazareth–while speaking to ancient Israel, warned them, along with the modern day church, about being spiritually seduced (Rev. 12:9). He warned through His prophets anciently and His apostles now to beware of those who would tell them that they have no choice but to sin (thanks to Adam), and that, because of this supposed “truth,” Jesus took care of the sin problem by obeying God in their stead, and that in order to remain in good standing with God, one need only believe in Christ and take Him as one’s Savior. Read the series on the Word “IF.” “Key word–IF.

The Holy Scriptures reveal to those who hunger and thirst for God’s righteousness (Mat. 5:6) that religious leaders who assure their followers of their rightness with God while rejecting His Law are the servants of His number one enemy. In Romans 8:4,7 the Apostle Paul warns us that those who do not obey God’s Ten Commandment Law (including #4) are enemies of God because they reject the “righteousness of the Law.” This is the Law which they claim was “nailed to the cross.” Through His holy prophets, God warned ancient Israel about rejecting His Law. Today He uses His apostles to issue that same warning to His true church–the “Israel of God” (Gal. 6:16)–spiritual Israel. He warns His people that Satan has sent into the religious community men who utter smooth, man-pleasing promises of blessing and comfort as they lead them ever farther away from the God they (the false prophets) claimed to represent. These are “blind leaders of the blind,” both of which “fall into THE ditch”–Satan’s Catholic/Protestant Religious System–(Mat. 15:14). God views the hundreds of divisions/denominations, faiths, etc. of man’s religious system as one entity–the counterfeit church.

The false church’s real God (Satan) has, through his prophets, instilled within literally billions of church people three factors that prevent them from embracing the Holy Scriptures when they are introduced to them. Those factors are Biblical ignorance, pride and fear. Their reliance on their leaders for Biblical Truth prevents seekers from practicing in-depth Bible study as we are commanded to do (2 Tim. 2:15) in order to be approved of God. If this was necessary for Timothy, God’s chosen evangelist, it is most certainly true for the rest of us. This gross negligence has resulted in mass ignorance of God’s “fine print.”

Pride is one of Satan’s most powerful weapons which he uses with precision against church people. When confronted with God’s Truth, pride (literal idolatry) will not allow parishioners to admit that they are wrong and have been wrong all along. Pride prevents man from doing WHAT HE KNOWS HE SHOULD DO. Being supposedly “saved,” he sees no need to humble himself before God obey Him. After all, “once saved–always saved,” right?

Fear involves the normal human need for the approval of others, especially family and friends. Jesus warns that rejection is to be expected when one embraces the Holy Bible as THE ONLY SOURCE OF GOD’S TRUTH WHICH MUST BE KNOWN, BELIEVED AND OBEYED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE. “All who will live Godly in Christ Jesus (true Christians) WILL SUFFER PERSECUTION” (2 Tim. 3:12), not from the world, but from the church world. Remember, it was the religious hierarchy who martyred Jesus and the apostles. They had the Romans do the killing, but it was the super-religious Jews who orchestrated their deaths. It is not the non-church people who reject and despise God’s saints; it is the most religious among us who lead the Truth haters. Read Luke 10:17. When Biblical Truth confronts church doctrine (man’s “truth” about God’s Truth), God loses 99% of the time.

Speaking through Prophets Jeremiah and Isaiah, the Lord had much to say relative to ministers who were leading Israel astray with their “smooth things, lies and deceits” which the people demanded to be taught (Isa. 30:10,11) because they “loved to have it so” (Jer. 5:31). The message God is sending to His people today is to beware of those who speak smooth things, lies and deceits. About such leaders He proclaims: “I HAVE NOT SENT THEM” (Jer. 14:13,14; 23:21,32). He makes this clear in Jeremiah 23:21 and 32 where He warns the people, telling them that their future will be the exact opposite of what their leaders are telling them. Through His apostles God warns that He will pour out His wrath on them and their leaders (Jer. 27:15; 29:9). ANCIENTLY THE PROPHETS WERE LYING TO THE PEOPLE IN HIS NAME WHILE CLAIMING TO BE SENT BY HIM AND TO BE OPERATING UNDER HIS DIRECTION. THOSE SAME LIES ARE BEING TOLD TO THEIR MODERN DAY RELIGEOUS DESCENDANTS. AND LIKE THEM, THEY ARE BELIEVING WHAT THEY ARE BEING TOLD BY THEIR HIRELINGS. THE AIRWAVES ARE FILLED 24/7/365 WITH SATAN’S “THE FIX IS IN” MESSAGES. GOD PRONOUNCES A “WOE” ON SUCH FALSE PROPHETS (ISA. 5:20/ JER. 23:1/ EZE. 13:3).

As Jesus and His apostles tell us in the New Testament, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. From the “street preacher” handing out leaflets on the corner, to the “just repeat after me and you’re saved” hucksters on television and radio, to the “I’ll make you rich” religious carnival barkers in great meeting halls, SATAN’S FALSE PROPHETS, WHOM I CALL “SALVATION WHORES,” ARE HARD AT WORK FOR THEIR GOD, TELLING PEOPLE THE SAME LIES THAT HAVE BEEN PUT FORTH SINCE THE DAYS OF THE EARLY CHURCH. Read Galatians 1:6-9.

Some of the heathen “truths” which false prophets brought into the modern-day church are listed on the homepage of this website. Like their ancient predecessors, modern false prophets are proclaiming as God’s Truth that which He proclaims to be lies of both commission and omission varieties. What false prophets always leave out (omitted) of their feel-good messages is what I call God’s “fine print.” Such information must be known, believed and obeyed in order for His “headlines” to come to fruition. This sin of omission produces “half-truths” which are, in reality, lies. As I have stated before, a “headline” (Biblical promise) without its accompanying “fine print” (conditions that must be met) is like the promise of a pot of gold (“headline”) without a map (“fine print”) showing where it is located.

An excellent example of this Biblical Truth is found in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28. The first 13 and 14 verses of those respective chapters are all that are ever studied by “headline” hunters. However, the promises from God found therein rarely, if ever, come to fruition for either the congregations or their leaders. Why? God tells us: BECAUSE, IN EACH CASE, THE FOLLOWING VERSES (“FINE PRINT”) ARE TOTALLY IGNORED. Why? BECAUSE IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE PEOPLE ARE ALL “SAVED, BORN AGAIN AND IN GOOD STANDING WITH GOD” BECAUSE THEY ARE MEMTERS OF “THE CHURCH.” THEREFORE, THE PROMISES ARE THEIRS FOR THE BELIEVING.

Incredibly, the fact that God’s promises are rarely, if materialize has no effect on the people or their leaders. What they are never told is that, without obedience to the Law of God, His promises, including salvation, will not be forthcoming. Question: How many church prayers are answered? Answer: Very few. For an excellent example of the Lord’s attitude relative to this issue, read about the Friends of Jesus. Key word–Friends. Here we find Jesus explaining to His disciples the facts of Christian life relative to believing, asking and receiving God’s promises. Faith alone, the reader will find, does make believers Christ’s friends, who are the only ones for whom He promised to die. Recall that Judas was among the friends to whom He was speaking.

I praise God that He opened my eyes to what had been happening within “the church” for many years, and why. As a result of His grace, I grasped His truths relative to His promises and their manifestations in the lives of true believers. The end result of His incredible grace is the ministry in which I am now involved. As I mentioned in an earlier posting, at last count this website has been downloaded over 3.3 billion times. This tells me that there are a lot of Truth-hungry people out there. Of course, there are those who cannot accept God’s Word at face value. Like over two billion other churchites, they are trapped Satan’s religious web and, through self-inflicted ignorance, refuse to break free. These are willing captives of the enemy of God. For those still swimming in his Catholic/Protestant sewer, read Second Corinthians 6:14-7:1 and the series titled Who Are God’s People? Key word–People.

In the following posting we will focus primarily on the New Testament and what Jesus and His apostles had to say about what passes for Christianity today. For a preview of what is coming, read Christ’s message to the end-time (Laodicean) church in Revelation 3:14-20. Here He describes the end-time church as it exists today. If taken to heart, that passage will compel the honest Truth seeker to obey His command found in Second Corinthians 6 referenced in the previous paragraph.

I believe that God is going to give America one last opportunity to get both her spiritual and social acts together, to turn to Him in earnest, to obey His Law and to serve Him in Truth. I believe that He will use Donald Trump to turn the nation around socially, politically and economically. The question is: WILL AMERICANS TURN TO THE LORD? WILL THEY EMBRACE HIS LAW/WORD/GOSPEL/TRUTH AND OBEY IT? OR WILL THEY SIMPLY HAVE A SERIES OF “REVIVALS,” GET “SAVED,” THEN RETURN TO THE SAME RELIGIOUS SWAMP FROM WHICH GOD IS TRYING TO EXTRACT THEM? WILL AMERICANS GET “REVIVED,” THEN FALL BACK INTO CHRISTENDOM’S “BUSINESS AS USUAL” MODE THAT HAS DOMINATED CHURCH LIFE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS? WILL AMERICANS TRULY SEE THE LIGHT, EMBRACE IT, TURN TO THE LORD, SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM THE COUNTERFEIT CHURCH AND WALK IN OBEDIENCE TO THE BIBLICAL GOD. ONLY TIME WILL TELL WHICH WAY AMERICA WILL GO IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WILL HER PEOPLE SEE GOD’S LIGHT AND COME TO IT, OR WILL THEY CONTINUE TO EMBRACE SATAN’S FALSE LIGHT KNOWN AS “THE CHURCH?” THIS GLOBALLY-EMBRACED “LIGHT” IS NOT MERELY DARKNESS. IT IS MUCH MORE DEADLY THAN THAT. JESUS CALLED IT “GREAT DARKNESS” BECAUSE IT IS BEING PUT FORTH BY SATAN’S FALSE PROPHETS AS GOD’S LIGHT (MAT. 6:23). L.J.
