Rather, BE AFRAID of the One [God] who can destroy both SOUL and body in HELL. (Mat 10:28)

Jesus is ETERNAL LIFE (1 Jn. 1:2) and was deity (called the "Word") before coming to earth (Jn. 1:1; Isa. 40:3 cf. Mt. 3:3; 3:11; 9:6; etc.).

Then he became man (and named 'Jesus'), while retaining his deity (Phil 2:5-8). As a servant (a man), he was/is in subjection to the father - obeying the father and praying to him (Jn. 17; etc.) and remains in subjection to the father (1 Cor. 15:28). However, Jesus was also WORSHIPED by his apostles (Mt. 14:33; etc.) at that time; receives equal praise and WORSHIP with the father in heaven now (Rev. 5:12-14); is WORSHIPED by all the angels (Heb. 1:6) and will be WORSHIPED throughout eternity (Dan 7:14).

He is also prayed TO (Jn. 14:14 cf. Acts 7:59; 9:14; 1 Cor. 1:2). The father declared he is "God" (Heb. 1:8), the apostle Thomas stated he was his "God" (Jn. 20:28) and it was Jesus or "God" who purchased the church with his own blood (Acts 20:28b). He is "God" over all (Rom. 9:6) - the true "God" and eternal life (1 Jn. 5:20).

Jesus is NOT Michael, as FALSE religions (JWs, SDA; etc.) claim, nor is he the Father, as the Apostolics say. Jesus is both man and deity - mankind's ONLY savior (Jn. 14:6; Acts 4:12) and hope (1 Tim. 1:1). Mary is not our hope, life, sweetness or anything else, as Catholics say. Islam is, likewise, in lethal error denying Jesus' death on the cross and demoting him to a mere prophet of God.

The Lord Jesus stated he would be crucified:

"As you know, the Passover is two days away--and the Son of Man will be handed over to be CRUCIFIED." (Mat 26:2)
The Quran denies Jesus was crucified, yet claims Jesus was a prophet. Thus, Islam is problematic. This error is more proof that Muhammad's Quran is bogus.

God's Way: God turned multiple sinful nations over to Nebuchadnezzar to rule over them although he himself was a sinful, pagan king!

This is what the LORD said to me: "Make a yoke out of straps and crossbars and put it on your neck. Then send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. Give them a message for their masters and say, 'This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Tell this to your masters: With my great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people and the animals that are on it, and I give it to anyone I please. Now I will hand all your countries over to my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; I will make even the wild animals subject to him. All nations will serve him and his son and his grandson until the time for his land comes; then many nations and great kings will subjugate him. "If, however, any nation or kingdom will not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon or bow its neck under his yoke, I will punish that nation with the sword, famine and plague, declares the LORD, until I destroy it by his hand. (Jer 27:2-8)

**God called wicked and idolatrous Nebuchadnezzar "my servant" and "war club" (Jer. 51:20), and he used him to judge those sinful people, after which Babylon was judged.

Jeremiah Chapter 29 Names and Exposes False Prophets

It is not wrong to do the same. Likewise, Paul named Hymenaeus and Philetus and mentioned their false teaching. It is a definite advantage for the hearers to know who the false teachers are and what to watch out for:
This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says about AHAB SON OF KOLAIAH AND ZEDEKIAH SON OF MAASEIAH, WHO ARE PROPHESYING LIES TO YOU IN MY NAME: "I will hand them over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your very eyes. Because of them, all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: 'The LORD treat you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon burned in the fire.' For they have done outrageous things in Israel; they have committed adultery with their neighbors' wives and in my name have spoken lies, which I did not tell them to do. I know it and am a witness to it," declares the LORD. (Jer 29:21-23)
Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are HYMENAEUS AND PHILETUS, who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. (2 Tim 2:17,18)

In the King James Translation...

... sinful people are told to REPENT OR PERISH (Luke 13:3; 13:5; Judg 21:6; 21:15; Jer 8:6), but also in the KJV - in the Old Testament, God is cited as REPENTING over and over - the very SAME English word cited that the sinful need to do in order to not perish!

When speaking about God, the KJV English chooses the phrases he does "EVIL" and he REPENTED and REPENTING. See (Gen 6:6; Exo 32:14; Judg 2:18; 1 Sam 15:35; 2 Sam 24:16; 1 Chr 21:15; Psa 106:45; Jer 15:6; 26:19; Amos 7:3; 7:6; Jonah 3:10).

In fact, in the KJV, Moses told God to REPENT (Exo 32:12)!

This choice of words is nothing less than a shocking wicked abomination and BLASPHEMY OF GOD, but the KJV Onlyites (idolaters) overlook that point to blindly continue on promoting their error-ridden, archaic and inferior KJV English translation. That obstinacy too is shocking.

The Reccabites VS the Disobedient Jews

Then I set bowls full of wine and some cups before the men of the Recabite family and said to them, "Drink some wine." But they replied, "We do not drink wine, because our forefather Jonadab son of Recab gave us this command: 'Neither you nor your descendants must ever drink wine. Also you must never build houses, sow seed or plant vineyards; you must never have any of these things, but must always live in tents. Then you will live a long time in the land where you are nomads.' We have obeyed everything our forefather Jonadab son of Recab commanded us. Neither we nor our wives nor our sons and daughters have ever drunk wine or built houses to live in or had vineyards, fields or crops. We have lived in tents and have fully obeyed everything our forefather Jonadab commanded us. (Jer 35:5-10)
Jonadab son of Recab ordered his sons not to drink wine and this command has been kept. To this day they do not drink wine, because they obey their forefather's command. But I have spoken to you again and again, yet you have not obeyed me. (Jer 35:14)

Jehoiakim Uniquely Burned the Scripture Scroll from Jeremiah

Read Jeremiah 36. Here are some observations:

Godly Determination (Are YOU like this?)

As long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils, my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will utter no deceit. (Job 27:3,4)

More Proof for the Deity of Christ

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, HOW OFTEN I HAVE LONGED TO GATHER YOUR CHILDREN TOGETHER, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. (Mat 23:37)
Jesus stated of himself that he often longed to gather Jerusalem's children together. Could anyone speaking truth, who isn't deity, make such a statement? Remember, Jesus was deity before coming to earth (Jn. 1:1; etc.).

Another Islamic Fable - Mary (Aaron's Sister) all Alone Gives Birth to Jesus under a Palm Tree (Surah 19:22-28)

1. Mary traveled alone to an undesignated remote place under a palm tree, where she suffered great labor pains wanting to die. (There is no mention of Joseph, nor any mention of Mary's visit to Elizabeth, while she was pregnant.)

2. Jesus spoke to Mary from her womb and told her there was a stream beneath her and for her to "shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you". That was to console her. (Imagine a mother soon-to-be, wanting to die from great labor pains, shaking the trunk of a palm tree hard enough for dates to fall on her. Impossible. Dates grow about 120 feet from the ground and the trunk is massive. This is impossible.)

3. Mary, after giving birth, visited her relatives and they thought she was sinful - being with the baby Jesus. (Mary was still alone, even though Jesus is now born. Joseph was still not with her, nor is there any hint that she was married to him at that point.)

4. Her people said to her, "O Mary, you have done something terrible. O SISTER OF AARON, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore." (Muhammad thought Mary was Aaron's sister [Miriam] from 1,400 years earlier! Substantiating proof of Muhammad's confusion (and another error in the Quran) is that the Quran says Mary is the daughter of Imran (Surah 66:12), again displacing her 1,400 years earlier as the sister of Moses and Aaron. Amram was the father of Moses, Aaron and Miriam (1 Chron. 6:3), but his name is arabicized to Imran in the Quran. The truth is, the only sister of Aaron and daughter of Amram (Imran) was Miriam, not Mary, who lived centuries later.)

**BTW: The real angel Gabriel told Mary that Jesus is God's son: "He will be great and will be called THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David," (Luke 1:32). The Gabriel of the Bible is not the angel Gabriel in the Quran.

Islam, Muhammad and the Quran are CAREFULLY EXAMINED

The Passover Lamb

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which THE PASSOVER LAMB HAD TO BE SACRIFICED. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover." (Luke 22:7,8)

**Paul stated:

...For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. (1 Cor 5:7)

Little did the people realize then that the TRUE "PASSOVER LAMB" was sacrificed on the cross for their sins.

Jesus' Blood

Jesus was crucified "the day before the Sabbath":

It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, (Mark 15:42)

__________________________________

Jesus predicted that he himself would be CRUCIFIED:

"As you know, the Passover is two days away - and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified." (Mat 26:2)
That truth is another blow to Islam, which denies Jesus died on the cross, yet also declares Jesus to be a prophet of God. So, if Jesus was a prophet of God (as Islam says, and we Christians know he was/is MUCH MORE), then his prediction was accurate, and he was indeed "crucified," thus falsifying the Koran once again, which states otherwise.

How did King Saul die?

Saul committed suicide:
Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and run me through and abuse me." But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him. (1 Sam 31:4,5)
Is this a contradiction?
"What happened?" David asked. "Tell me." He said, "The men fled from the battle. Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are dead." Then David said to the young man who brought him the report, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?" "I happened to be on Mount Gilboa," the young man said, "and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and riders almost upon him. When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, and I said, 'What can I do?' "He asked me, 'Who are you?' "'An Amalekite,' I answered. "Then he said to me, 'Stand over me and kill me! I am in the throes of death, but I'm still alive.' "So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band on his arm and have brought them here to my lord." (2 Sam 1:4-10)
There is NO CONTRADICTION here either, for the young man thought the news would bring him a reward - making David happy.
David answered Recab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, "As surely as the LORD lives, who has delivered me out of all trouble, when a man told me, 'Saul is dead,' and thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and put him to death in Ziklag. That was the reward I gave him for his news! (2 Sam 4:9,10)
** The young man of 2 Sam. 1:4-10 lied.

How Did Judas Die?

Enemies of Christianity say his death is a contradiction, but it isn't; Judas hung himself:
So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then HE WENT AWAY AND HANGED HIMSELF. (Mat 27:5)
How does this next passage fit in?
(With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. (Acts 1:18)
**Judas hung himself. Afterwards, the rope broke off, or someone took him down and threw his body head first over a cliff and his intestines spilled out. There is no contradiction.

IF you are the typical Christian, you have been WRESTLING with the forces of darkness.

The Christian's battle against satanic temptations and desires to go against God's word somehow is ongoing. It's called RESISTING THE DEVIL (or "wrestling" against him), and your battle takes place IN YOUR MIND (the battlefield), which will affect your behavior somehow.
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)

The True Christian Life

Remember Hebrews 12:4

Read and ponder Jeremiah 26 to be stirred

Stephen's Sermon in Acts 7 Contrasted to the Sermon of Jonah:

When the holy martyr Stephen stood fearlessly ALONE before the same murderous crowd, who unjustly condemned Jesus, Stephen spoke out PURE TRUTH OF GOD, and, yet, no one was saved!

In contrast, the prophet Jonah delivered God's word, which led to the whole massive city of Ninevah repenting (Jonah 3); yet, Jonah's displeasure of them not being destroyed reflected his heart!

**GOD'S PURE WORD HAS INNATE POWER, REGARDLESS OF THE GIVER. IT IS THE HEARERS WHO DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT AND BENEFIT OR TO REJECT IT TO THEIR HARM; **THE HEARER (his heart condition) MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. MANY REJECTED WHAT SINLESS JESUS PERFECTLY TAUGHT WITH NO FAULT IN HIM.

The Parable of the Sower speaks of four types of people.

**ALL soul winners and preachers are to be holy and exemplary, as we speak the truth in love. Such is to everyone's advantage.

[Bible Question] What if I am not predestined for heaven?

[Bible Answer] Greetings in Jesus' name. Unfortunately, you have been affected by the HERESY of Calvinism or you would not ask such a question. From just reading the Bible alone, that would never be a concern.

Please note: Jesus draws everyone to himself (Jn. 12:32); commands everyone to enter through the narrow gate (Mt. 7:13,14) and invites everyone to come to come to him to find rest for his soul (Mt. 11:28,29). That includes you. Jesus died for YOU (1 Jn. 2:2; Rom. 5:6; etc.). IF God created some people to be 'non-elect' as Calvinists say, then God has created some to burn in the lake of fire forever, without ever having any chance of salvation! That is not the God of love in the Bible, but a horrible misrepresentation of him via heresy.

Man's sins are dragging him to the fiery furnace (Mt. 13:41,42; Rev. 21:8; 1 Cor. 6:9-11; etc.). We all, therefore, need God's MERCY. The sincere, humble sinner, in Lk. 18:13-14, got it when he went to God directly in prayer. We know he turned away from his sins (repented), based on (Prov. 28:13; 2 Pet. 3:9; etc.). Cornelius learned the focus of his faith must be in the Lord Jesus (Act 10:43), which is confirmed in many other scriptures (Jn. 3:15-18; 20:31; Acts 15:9; etc.). Jesus is our only hope and savior (Jn. 14:6; Acts 4:12; etc.). Repentance towards God and faith in Christ Jesus is the message (Acts 20:21). A saving faith in the Lord Jesus is a faith that follows him (Jn. 10:27) and OBEYS (Heb. 5:9; 1 Jn. 2:3,4; Jn. 3:36; etc.). There are NO Christian drunks, NO Christian adulterers, NO Christian thieves, NO Christian liars, etc. (Eph. 5:5-7; etc.), as the fifth point of Calvinism (eternal security) teaches.

This earthly life is a spiritual TEST. We must love (or obey) Jesus first to be "worthy" of him (Mt. 10:37,38). The Christian must continue with Jesus to the end of his life in order to enter God's Paradise kingdom (Mt. 10:22; Heb. 3:14; Rev. 2:10,11; Gal. 6:8,9). Many do not for various reasons (Mt. 24:10; 1 Tim. 4:1). A true Christian can DIE SPIRITUALLY (Ezek. 33:18; Rom. 8:13; James 5:19,20). Keep a clear conscious; stay in the scriptures, especially the NT, and change accordingly. Watch out for false prophets and false teachers. Test everything with scripture. You are BATTLING FOR ETERNITY. Be guarded, and fight with your spiritual weapons. Jesus replied, "My mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice" (Luke 8:21). See - From Initial to Final Salvation.

Isaiah's Glimpse of God in Heaven

...I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. (Isa 6:1-4)

Heavenly Secrets

See also Rev. 4:2-11. Heaven has some strange sights compared to this cursed world we live in now.

First, the saints get "handed over" to the antichrist (Dan 7:25; 8:24), then afterwards God's kingdom gets handed over to the saints (Dan 7:27). HOLD ON.

...If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all. (Isa 7:9)

False teachings can RUIN a person to the point where the truth of God will be rejected by them:

They must be silenced, because they are RUINING whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach - and that for the sake of dishonest gain. (Titus 1:11)

A Study of Titus 1

How do we silence false teachers? We do so by naming them and refuting them with scripture.

Bible Mystery - Abraham referred to Moses, who came after he was dead.

Abraham died in Genesis 25 and Moses was born afterwards in Exodus 2 - so how did Abraham know about Moses?
Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' (Luke 16:29)
See also v. 31.

So, how did Abraham know about Moses? Nothing clear and definite can be supplied, just a guess. MAYBE Abraham knew about Moses because he could observe, from the other side of the grave, what is going on with the physically alive.

IF that is true, and you have loved ones who died pure in heart, then maybe they can observe you. We can NOT be certain of that, BUT we can be certain God sees everything (Heb. 4:13; etc.).

The following verse, stating Jesus spoke "figuratively" at times, could be the perfect answer for Catholics who cite Jn. 6:53 - taking it literally:

Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. (John 16:25)
Jesus stated he was the door (Jn. 10:7) and the true vine (Jn. 15:1), and we do not take those statements literally. Likewise, we must not take John 6:53 literally.

There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. (Luke 16:19)

The Big Picture

IF we view the big picture, it was the rich man who was the loser, and it was the poor, sickly (righteous) beggar (Lazarus) who was the winner: Here is an audio sermon on the rich man in hell; an actual dialogue took place between Abraham and the unnamed rich man. There are 2 parts:

The Threat to be: "Put out of the Synagogue" was Very Serious in Jesus' Day:

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for already the Jews had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ WOULD BE PUT OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE. (John 9:22)
Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for fear they WOULD BE PUT OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE; (John 12:42)

Jesus Foretold

They WILL PUT YOU OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. (John 16:2,3)
To be PUT YOU OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE was excommunication, which might have included publicly being anathematized and banished from synagogue life - shut out from man and allegedly from God.

**Sadly, some preferred their routine dead religious life over Jesus and salvation. They were not willing to pay that price ("count the cost" - Lk. 14:28), but the above is only part of it!

For Some

For some of the Hebrew Christians their property was confiscated (Heb. 10:34), and later some were buckling under the pressure. To return to the synagogue ("go back to normal"), they had to declare publicly that Jesus performed his miracles by the power of the devil, which constituted eternal sin. NOTE:
How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? (Heb 10:29)
Remember this:
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the GOSPEL will save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mk. 8:35-37)

For us, Revelation 12:11 is a KEY.

The KJV Onlyites cite the following passage, and in so doing, place a 'noose around their own necks' without realizing it:

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (Rev 22:18,19, KJV)
The 1611 KJV included the TOXIC Apocrypha. The KJV edition today doesn't and therefore has omitted those books, and thereby, they condemn themselves with Rev. 22:18,19.

This passage shows spiritual death (loss of salvation) can occur from just ONE SIN (adultery in this example) and gives insight with David's sin:

Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so DESTROYS HIS OWN SOUL. (Prov. 6:32)

The sexual immorality exception clauses for remarriage (Mt. 5:32; 19:9) must be analyzed, with Mt. 1:19 in mind, in order to understand them.

Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to DIVORCE her quietly. (Mat 1:19)
The Greek term for "divorce" in the above verse is also used in Mt. 5:32 and 19:9. During the betrothal period, before Joseph and Mary were actually married, Mary had come back from her cousin Elizabeth's house obviously with child, and, as a consequence, Joseph wrongly thought she had been sexually immoral; thus, he wanted to quietly divorce her (to spare her from being stoned to death under the OT law), but an angel of the Lord told him not to put Mary away (divorce her) because she had been faithful and had conceived through the Holy Spirit. Again, NOTE the timing - BEFORE they were married, not after.

Therefore, the fornication exceptions cannot be used to justify remarriage (adultery), but needs to be applied to the ancient Jewish practice of betrothal.

Other related passages to remarriage adultery are: Rom. 7:2,3; 1 Cor. 7:39; Mark 10:11,12 and Luke 16:18. One is married until physical death: Divorce does not end a marriage.

IF you were ever validly married and IF there is still a previous, living spouse and IF you are remarried, then you are in remarriage adultery, according to Jesus. There is no OSAS, and adultery will exclude one from God's kingdom (Eph. 5:5-7; etc.).

**The DEVIL can give you a SWEET LOVING MARRIAGE, as with Solomon, as he tries to get your SOUL. [BTW, the devil can also tempt with strife and unforgiveness in a marriage to destroy souls.] Guard your soul first and foremost. The devil is clever and vicious, but he can come as a friend.

If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. (Gal 5:15,16)

** Not only is eternal life beyond our ability to comprehend (2 Cor. 9:15), it is also rare in light of the fact that many will not enter the narrow gate (Mt. 7:13,14). Moreover, when the disciples were thrilled over having the power to cast out demons, Jesus shifted the real cause they should rejoice to this:

However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. (Luke 10:20)

Salvation will cost us all the SAME PRICE - everything:

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and SOLD ALL HE HAD and bought that field. (Mt. 13:44)

IF you ever get it, HOLD ON:

Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. (Rev. 3:11)

[ Christian singles also need to beware! ]

After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!" Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?" I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who HAVE COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." (Rev 7:9-17)

It is your SPIRITUAL HEART CONDITION - not your money, skin color, blood type, education, power, etc. that God looks upon. At death, your heart condition will either qualify or disqualify you from entering Paradise.

A Distortion Used to Unjustly Attack Jesus' Deity:

God is not a man, THAT HE SHOULD LIE, nor a son of man, that HE SHOULD CHANGE HIS MIND. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (Num 23:19)
Both Muslims and Jehovah's Witnesses misuse that verse to combat Jesus' identity. The verse in question just states that God doesn't lie - not that God can't become a man, as Jesus did.

Righteous Solomon Turned from God and Became like a Modern-day Satanist!

As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and MOLECH the detestable god of the Ammonites. (1 Kings 11:4,5)

The Intensity of our Warfare [AUDIO]

Molech Worship Involved Human Sacrifice:

You are not to sacrifice any of your children in the fire to Molech. Do not profane the name of your God; I am the LORD. (Lev. 18:21)
Say to the Israelites: Any Israelite or any alien living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the community are to stone him. (Lev 20:2)

OSAS Allows for Satan Worship

Because OSAS must claim Solomon remained saved in order to protect their doctrine, they are really saying one can backslide as he did and become a Satanist and retain salvation! Not only is that darkened theology wildly a license to sin, but it also shows its proponents are unable to know ANY unsaved person, even the most vile criminal, BECAUSE that person just might have had a true moment of saving faith in the past, making him still a Christian in their eyes, regardless of his extreme criminal acts and present wickedness.

NOTE: The "wheat and the tares" do not look identical!

True Prophets Will NOT Ever Make False Prophecies

This is what the LORD says - your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself, who FOILS THE SIGNS OF FALSE PROPHETS and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense, WHO CARRIES OUT THE WORDS OF HIS SERVANTS AND FULFILLS THE PREDICTIONS OF HIS MESSENGERS, who says of Jerusalem, 'It shall be inhabited,' of the towns of Judah, 'They shall be built,' and of their ruins, 'I will restore them,' (Isa 44:24-26)
Such important truth alone proves the Fatima 1917 Marian apparitions were from the deceiver, who can come as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14). Likewise, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. are falsified by their false prophecies.

**Jesus warned that false prophets would DECEIVE many (Mt. 24:11).

Was Ahaziah 22 or 42 when he became king?

Various reputable modern translations consistently read 22, as the NIV cites below:
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel. (2 Ki 8:26)
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri. (2 Chr 22:2)
In contrast, is the KJV:
Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri. (2 Chr 22:2, KJV)
This is yet another reason to stay away from the archaic KJV. There is NO CONTRADICTION in modern reputable translations.

Muslims, and others who hate biblical Christianity and aggressive attack it (especially on college campuses), will cite the above 2 references FROM THE KJV, but not modern reputable translations, to present their flawed argument. (In fact, I recently had that thrown at me by a Muslim.)

Salvation is both Instant and Ongoing, IF one stays in the faith:

INSTANT:
Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham." (Luke 19:9)
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Eph 2:8,9)
ONGOING:
for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Pet 1:9)

YOU MUST CONTINUE IN FAITH / YOU CAN GET CUT OFF:

You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in." Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. (Rom 11:19-22)

Catholics Commit Idolatry in Various Ways:

(1) Prayer is a form of worship. Therefore, when Catholics pray TO Mary, the saints and/or angels they are committing idolatry (false worship). We are shown by example and command to pray only to the heavenly father or Jesus;

(2) Catholic dogma is to 'worship' the consecrated communion wafer as God, which is idolatry and the same as worshiping a piece of bread. Therefore, genuflecting towards the tabernacle is idolatrous;

(3) To make a graven image OR to bow before and/or kiss or honor your statues is idolatry (and a pagan practice);

(4) To trust in a creature (such as Mary) as we are to trust in God is idolatry;

(5) To attribute to a creature the titles and/or attributes of God is idolatry. Catholics have addressed their mythical Mary as sinless (which is idolatrous), sovereign and omnipotent (which is idolatrous) and do devotion and consecration (which is idolatrous) and told and shown by Catholic example to 'WORSHIP' Mary in clear unambiguous terms.

***IN CONCLUSION: Because ALL idolaters will go to the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8) unless they repent from such vile wickedness - ALL CATHOLICS ARE LOST for THEY ARE ALL COMMITTING IDOLATRY IN ONE FASHION OR ANOTHER.

Humble yourself and receive correction for the sake of your SOUL.
