Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat FOR A DAY'S WAGES, and three quarts of barley FOR A DAY'S WAGES, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" (Rev 6:6)
The Vital Importance Of Forgiving Others
Because You Have Prayed [AUDIO]
Separating The Sheep and Goats
Jesus' teachings were MUCH DIFFERENT from the teachings of those who preceded him. One definite difference is the numerous times that Jesus mentioned HELL and WARNED others of this terrible, fiery place beyond the grave.
**IF YOU are not LIVING HOLY now, then YOU are not a Christian now, though you may have been one in the past. There are NO Christian liars, NO Christian drunks, NO Christian adulterers, NO Christian thieves (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Eph. 5:5-7; Rev. 21:8). NOW is the time to DEEPLY REPENT. God wants the backsliders back, but you must repent to return to salvation.

Can animals see into the spirit realm? Balaam's donkey certainly could (Num. 22:23). There is a lot of spiritual activity around us daily, though we cannot see it unless our eyes are specially opened by God, as happened with Elisha's servant (2 Kings 6:17). Be mindful of that truth, and PRAY, PRAY, and PRAY some more to God, and also be mindful of this spiritual battle for SOULS. Walk in faith and love, and USE YOUR SPIRITUAL WEAPONS.

For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS. (1 Pet. 2:19-21)Jesus is the chief example of one who bore up under UNJUST SUFFERINGS. People in our day have taken the phrase, 'What Would Jesus Do' from that passage, and try to make it fit with various life situations where, in reality, that phrase, in its original context, does not apply to normal living. We know Jesus drove out the money changers from the Temple twice (Jn. 2:14-16; Mt. 21:12,13). Is that 'what Jesus would do' in your understanding? Whether it is or not, that is the real Jesus and how he feels about SIN.

When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the Lord's anointed stands here before the LORD." But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I HAVE REJECTED HIM. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but THE LORD LOOKS AT THE HEART." (1 Sam. 16:6,7)

The God who does not change (Mal. 3:6) HATES A LYING TONGUE (Prov. 6:16,17) and will have ALL LIARS thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8). He also OPPOSES THE PROUD (1 Pet. 5:5) and cuts the fruitless off from Jesus and has them thrown into the fire (Jn. 15:1-6). That is the true and living God. NOW is the time to change - TO EARNESTLY REPENT.

Do you know about these UNGODLY Old Testament WOMEN and their judgment?
Hear this word, you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria, YOU WOMEN who oppress the poor and crush the needy and say to your husbands, "Bring us some drinks!" The Sovereign LORD has sworn by his holiness: "The time will surely come when you will be taken away with hooks, the last of you with fishhooks. You will each go straight out through breaks in the wall, and you will be cast out toward Harmon," declares the LORD. (Amos 4:1-3)Woman are not always merciful. Remember also Jezebel and Athaliah!

Have you ever noticed the context of Isa. 64:6 and how OSAS has terribly MISUSED it? Note the verses before and after:
ALL OF US HAVE BECOME LIKE ONE WHO IS UNCLEAN, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. (Isa. 64:6)Here is the context (the verse before and after):
You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways. But when WE CONTINUED TO SIN AGAINST THEM [God's ways], you were angry. HOW THEN CAN WE BE SAVED? All of us have become like one who is unclean, and ALL OUR RIGHTEOUS ACTS ARE LIKE FILTHY RAGS; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. NO ONE CALLS ON YOUR NAME OR STRIVES TO LAY HOLD OF YOU; for you have hidden your face from us and made us waste away BECAUSE OF OUR SINS. (Isa. 64:5-7)**The subjects of Isa. 64:6 were clearly in unrepentant sin. "The righteous acts of the saints" (followers of Jesus) are NOT like "filthy rags"! Do not be deceived by wolves in sheep's clothing in our days. Remember, the garment for the bride of Christ is this:
Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear. (Fine linen stands for THE RIGHTEOUS ACTS OF THE SAINTS.) (Rev. 19:8)Paul said he wanted women to be dressed, not in fancy or immodest clothes, but DRESSED IN GOOD DEEDS (1 Tim. 2:10). BTW, all Christians should be dressed in good deeds, but the context here was Paul instructing how women should dress and comport themselves.
Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and REMAINS CLOTHED, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed. (Rev. 16:15)
Guard Your SOUL. In part, that is done by guarding YOUR WORDS:
He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin. (Prov 13:3)
Do not be overcome by evil, but OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD. (Rom 12:21)
Read and ponder Acts 5:12-42 for a blessing.
For all the misled OSAS proponents who think Paul, as a Christian, was the worst of sinners, NOTE HIS WORDS:
Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, "My brothers, I HAVE FULFILLED MY DUTY TO GOD IN ALL GOOD CONSCIENCE TO THIS DAY." (Acts 23:1)Compare that statement to 1 Thess. 2:10, and ask yourself, 'Could the worst of sinners accurately say that'?

But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" Jesus answered them, "IT IS NOT THE HEALTHY WHO NEED A DOCTOR, BUT THE SICK. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (Luke 5:30-32)"Sinners" are likened spiritually unto those who are physically sick. The cure or MEDICINE IS REPENTANCE, as shown in that passage.

They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, to go around Edom. But the people GREW IMPATIENT on the way; they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, "WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT US UP OUT OF EGYPT TO DIE IN THE DESERT? THERE IS NO BREAD! THERE IS NO WATER! AND WE DETEST THIS MISERABLE FOOD!" Then the LORD sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said, "We sinned when we spoke against the LORD and against you. Pray that the LORD will take the snakes away from us." So Moses prayed for the people. The LORD said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived. (Num. 21:4-9)In 1 Cor. 10:9, we learn their sin was TESTING the Lord. Then later:
He [Hezekiah] removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. HE BROKE INTO PIECES THE BRONZE SNAKE MOSES HAD MADE, FOR UP TO THAT TIME THE ISRAELITES HAD BEEN BURNING INCENSE TO IT. (It was called Nehushtan.) (2 Kings 18:4)That same bronze snake became a spiritual snare to those who burned incense to it.

Hezekiah trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel. THERE WAS NO ONE LIKE HIM AMONG ALL THE KINGS OF JUDAH, EITHER BEFORE HIM OR AFTER HIM. He held fast to the LORD and did not cease to follow him; he kept the commands the LORD had given Moses. (2 Kings 18:5,6)That same GODLY king had a son, Manasseh, who was one of the VILEST kings in the OT. Read 2 Chronicles 33.

He [John the Baptist] himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light [Jesus]. (John 1:8)John's role in pointing us to Jesus and came to an end is similar to Mary's. Mary was only a vessel used to birth Jesus into the world. She wasn't the light either, and John the Baptist was GREATER than Mary:
I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist... (Mat. 11:11)Of Mary, Jesus himself said:
As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." He replied, "BLESSED RATHER are those who hear the word of God and obey it." (Luke 11:27,28)
_________________________________
...I [Jesus] pray also for those who will BELIEVE IN ME through their message, (John 17:20)Is your message leading people to BELIEVE IN JESUS and to get saved? IF the focus isn't JESUS, you have the wrong message. Also, to BELIEVE on Jesus means to TRUST IN JESUS FOR SALVATION and OBEY him.
_________________________________
Jesus replied, "You are IN ERROR because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God." (Mat. 22:29)
_________________________________
What scriptures do you base your salvation on? WHY would you think you are a real Christian unless you acted on scripture and/or have solid proof from God's word about your soul's salvation? Christians are set free from their sin addictions. Just 'believing' [mental assent that he exists and historical facts] in God is not good enough. Demons also know who Jesus is and that he died, rose again and was buried. Again, to believe in Jesus biblically for salvation = to OBEY Jesus (John 3:36; Heb. 5:9).
How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?... (Heb. 2:3)

STUDY BIBLES ARE MOSTLY INDOCTRINATION TOOLS! Their notes and comments are from uninspired man- not from the Holy Spirit- and more often, than not, they contain the Eternal Security spin that twists and distorts the warning verses on sin and the fear of God. Reading their comments to 'interpret' the Bible is like Eve listening to the devil, who spoke after God and said, "did God really say that?" Their comments can be POISON.
As for you [the Christian], the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you .... (1 Jn. 2:27)

Did you know BARNABAS was mightily used at least twice in Paul's [also called Saul] ministry?
When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. BUT BARNABAS TOOK HIM AND BROUGHT HIM TO THE APOSTLES. HE TOLD THEM HOW SAUL ON HIS JOURNEY HAD SEEN THE LORD AND THAT THE LORD HAD SPOKEN TO HIM, AND HOW IN DAMASCUS HE HAD PREACHED FEARLESSLY IN THE NAME OF JESUS. (Acts 9:26,27)
He [Barnabas] was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord. Then BARNABAS WENT TO TARSUS TO LOOK FOR SAUL, AND WHEN HE FOUND HIM, HE BROUGHT HIM TO ANTIOCH. SO FOR A WHOLE YEAR BARNABAS AND SAUL MET WITH THE CHURCH AND TAUGHT GREAT NUMBERS OF PEOPLE. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. (Acts 11:24-26)

So, IF you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! (1 Cor. 10:12)**That is one of the doctrinal goals of the DEVIL, that is, to mislead Christians into thinking they are standing firm, so they will fall. The devil uses the eternal security teachers (lawless men) to accomplish that in some - a dangerous false sense of security.
By this gospel you are saved, IF YOU HOLD FIRMLY to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have BELIEVED IN VAIN. (1 Cor 15:2)

It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, holiness and redemption. (1 Cor. 1:30)Do NOT be misled by that! Here are more vital details:
...righteous persons who DO NOT NEED TO REPENT. (Luke 15:7)
Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. HE WHO DOES WHAT IS RIGHT IS RIGHTEOUS, just as he is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil.... (1 John 3:7,8)
Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey--whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to OBEDIENCE, WHICH LEADS TO RIGHTEOUSNESS? (Rom 6:16)ONLY the "righteous" will enter Paradise and the unrighteous (wicked) will not:
Then they [the unrighteous] will go away to ETERNAL PUNISHMENT, but the righteous to eternal life. (Mat 25:46)
Or do you not know that THE UNRIGHTEOUS will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. (1 Cor. 6:9-11)Logic and deduction dictate that since the unrighteous do not inherit the kingdom, then, therefore, the righteous do inherit the kingdom of God. But, people are not putting up with sound doctrine, just as Paul warned Timothy would happen (2 Tim. 4:3). He also warned that evil men (including false teachers) and imposters would go from bad to worse (2 Tim. 3:13).
For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a man is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with EMPTY WORDS, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. (Eph. 5:5-7)

You deserted the Rock, who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave you birth. The LORD saw this and REJECTED THEM because he was angered by his sons and daughters. "I will hide my face from them," he said, "and see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful. They made me jealous by what is no god and angered me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding. For a fire has been kindled by my wrath, one that burns to the realm of death below. It will devour the earth and its harvests and set afire the foundations of the mountains. "I will heap calamities upon them and spend my arrows against them. I will send wasting famine against them, consuming pestilence and deadly plague; I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts, the venom of vipers that glide in the dust. (Deut. 32:18-24)

As for you, you WERE dead in your transgressions and sins, in which YOU USED TO LIVE when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are DISOBEDIENT.

(Eph. 2:1-3)Observations:

(Phil. 2:14-16)
Strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. "We must go through MANY HARDSHIPS to enter the kingdom of God," they said. (Acts 14:22)
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the PAINFUL TRIAL you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. (1 Pet 4:12)
Read Isaiah 1 for a blessing.
Forgiven Sins are also FORGOTTEN:For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more. (Heb 8:12)
"When it becomes a law that you keep Sunday Holy, then it will become the Mark."That belief is 100% EMPTY and DEVOID of evidence, from both a scriptural and a natural point of view. SDA people also can not prove that will ever happen.

They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that A PROPHET DOES NOT COME OUT OF GALILEE." (John 7:52)Two comments: (1) They were ignorant of the scriptures, which they claimed to go by. That is true based on Jonah (son of Amittai - Jonah 1:1) being from Gath Hepher:
He was the one who restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, in accordance with the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, spoken through his servant JONAH SON OF AMITTAI, THE PROPHET FROM GATH HEPHER. (2 Kings 14:25)Gath Hepher is to the west of the Sea of Galilee and is located in GALILEE.
(2) Even if there had been no prophets from Galilee, that doesn't mean Jesus couldn't be the first. They were looking for a reason to reject Jesus, but wanted it to appear godly, when it was, in fact, WICKED! Here is the real reason:
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What are we accomplishing?" they asked. "Here is this man performing many miraculous signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and THEN THE ROMANS WILL COME AND TAKE AWAY BOTH OUR PLACE AND OUR NATION." (John 11:47,48)

And DO NOT GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. (Eph. 4:30,31)The seriousness of GRIEVING the Holy Spirit is shown here:
Yet they rebelled and GRIEVED HIS HOLY SPIRIT. So he turned and BECAME THEIR ENEMY and he himself fought against them. (Isa. 63:10)
Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. (2 Pet. 3:17)

NOTE what Peter taught about getting spiritually PURIFIED:
He made no distinction between us and them, for he PURIFIED their hearts BY FAITH [in the Lord Jesus]. (Acts 15:9)
Now that you have PURIFIED yourselves BY OBEYING THE TRUTH so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart. (1 Pet. 1:22)**IMPORTANT: ALL 100% OF YOUR SUBMISSIVE FAITH AND TRUST IS TO BE IN THE LORD JESUS FOR SALVATION, as you walk HOLY and faithfully OBEY him:
MAKE EVERY EFFORT to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. (Heb. 12:14)
...do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure. (1 Tim 5:22)

DON'T YOU KNOW that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey - whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to DEATH, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? (Rom 6:16)
And their word will EAT AS DOTH A CANKER: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; (2 Tim. 2:17, KJV)The Greek term translated "canker" in the KJV is gaggraina, which is how we get the word, gangrene, as translated in the NIV:
Their teaching will spread like GANGRENE. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, (2 Tim 2:17)** (1) How many people do you think knows what "eat as doth a CANKER" means? (2) Do you still believe the KJV is a literal translation in light of 2 Tim. 2:17?

At this point Festus interrupted Paul's defense. "You are OUT OF YOUR MIND, Paul!" he shouted. "Your great learning is driving you INSANE." (Acts 26:24)Likewise, Mary at one point, thought Jesus was CRAZY:
When his family heard about this, they WENT TO TAKE CHARGE OF HIM, for they said, "He is OUT OF HIS MIND." (Mark 3:21)
Then JESUS' MOTHER AND BROTHERS ARRIVED. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. (Mark 3:31)Verse 21 states when his natural family left to take charge of him and v. 31 identifies who wrongly thought that Jesus was out of his mind.
...Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great, the prophet is considered a FOOL, the inspired man a MANIAC. (Hosea 9:7)Do you still feel bad by the verbal insults that come your way because you follow PRECIOUS Jesus and spread God's word, that is, IF YOU ARE DOING WHAT KING JESUS WANTS? Opposition AND SUFFERINGS goes with following God in this wicked world. Remain faithful.

The following is NOT about a so-called 'Christmas tree'. It is about a CARVED IDOL, so typical among the sinful in Jeremiah's day:
For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, THEIR IDOLS cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good. (Jer. 10:3-5)There is NO support for a "Christmas tree"!

Eve never sinned until she heard the first message on OSAS (Gen. 3:4) and SINNED after she got DECEIVED (1 Tim. 2:14). OSAS came from the devil and will bring SPIRITUAL DEATH from the SINS it will allow for. Satan was the first eternal security teacher.

Soon the PROOF OF VACCINATION COMPLIANCE will be a mark on the body. It will be needed to "participate in society" (code for "buy and sell") and the Bible calls it the MARK OF THE BEAST.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were trapped in Babylon and there was no other place for them to go. They had to face the anger of the VILE KING as they were threatened with a life OR death issue TEST:
Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, "Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up? Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?" Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." (Dan. 3:13-18)

He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. (Mat. 12:30)IF you are LUKEWARM, you must repent or Jesus will vomit you out of the body (Rev. 3:16).
IF you are a friend of the world, YOU are an ENEMY OF GOD and better repent (James 4:4).
IF you are a backslider, you need to REPENT and get saved again (Lk. 15:24; Rom. 11:20-23; James 5:19,20).

Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS according to the Scriptures, that he was BURIED, that he was RAISED on the third day according to the Scriptures, (1 Cor. 15:1-4)** Jesus' BIRTH is NOT the focus. (Catholicism makes it the focus to insert Mary into the scene!)
_________________________________
"TRUE WORSHIPERS" are noted, but what do they do, and what does it mean to worship God in "spirit and truth"?
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. (John 4:23)Certainly, true worship takes place in heaven in God's presence. This is how it is done there:
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "TO HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE AND TO THE LAMB BE PRAISE AND HONOR AND GLORY AND POWER, FOR EVER AND EVER!" The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped. (Rev. 5:13,14)
He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever CONFESSES AND RENOUNCES them finds mercy. (Prov 28:13)
Do NOT allow this to happen to YOU!
But suppose the servant says to himself, 'My master is TAKING A LONG TIME IN COMING,' and he then begins to beat the menservants and maidservants and to eat and drink and get drunk. The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and ASSIGN HIM A PLACE WITH THE UNBELIEVERS. (Luke 12:45,46)See Rev. 21:8 to know where the unbelievers go. That truth is even more proof that eternal security is NOT a Christian teaching. [For a teaching to be Christian, it must come from the scriptures, especially the New Testament.]

Christians are often told to not fear. However, they are commanded to BE AFRAID at least here:
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, BE AFRAID of the One [God] who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Mat. 10:28)
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. 11:20-22)One more:
The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, HE IS THE ONE YOU ARE TO FEAR, HE IS THE ONE YOU ARE TO DREAD (Isa 8:13).

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:9-11)**Do you have a hard time believing that Mary will also bow her knee to Jesus and confess him as Lord? Have you been adversely influenced by Catholic propaganda regarding their fantasy Mary, whom they have idolatrously deified?

Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but DIVISION. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." (Luke 12:51-53)
For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, a man's enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. (Mat. 10:35-38)There are exceptions where ENTIRE FAMILIES were saved. Below are 2 examples.

IF you think some well-known preacher is doing such a great job, ask yourself if he is OPENLY EXPOSING AND REFUTING ETERNAL SECURITY, which is a license for sin misrepresented as grace as well as a false gospel. It is a COMMAND, as shown in Jude 3,4, for all Christians, including you, to contend for the faith, to expose the lie of OSAS. We refute false doctrine by REASONING FROM THE SCRIPTURES.
Check out this Listing of Little Known Salvation Verses.
As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, (Acts 17:2)BTW, take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. (Eph. 5:11) Eternal security is an unfruitful work of darkness, and must be exposed as such. DO NOT SHARE IN THEIR WICKED WORK BY SUPPORTING ANY ETERNAL SECURITY CHURCH OR MINISTRY. That includes Joseph Prince and Andrew Wommack.
Also, IS ANY WELL KNOWN PREACHER informing people how close the MARK OF THE BEAST (Rev. 13:16,17) is or that it is coming from a future MICRONEEDLE patch vaccine? To my knowledge, there are none! YOU need to warm others.

Here is a verse that points to the DEITY OF CHRIST, but you will never notice it unless you compare scripture with scripture, that is, various OT scriptures to this one:
And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD HIS VOICE NOR SEEN HIS FORM. (John 5:37)

The truth is: Catholicism OPPOSES the New Testament, while it claims: (1) to believe the Bible and (2) to have given the world the Bible. Both of their claims are DECEITFUL.
Since the NT refutes Catholicism, it is impossible that the Lord Jesus or his apostles, or even the NT writers, were Catholic in dogma or practice. See Bible Questions For Catholic.
As a FORMER Catholic, who wanted to remain a Catholic, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMAIN A CATHOLIC IF YOU ACCEPT THE BIBLE, ESPECIALLY THE NEW TESTAMENT, AS FINAL AUTHORITY. See 2 Tim. 3:16,17. IF you reject the NT, then you have rejected Jesus' teachings as well as his apostles. You likewise will NEVER LEARN how to be forgiven of your sins in order to be saved from HELL.

The DEVIL WANTS YOUR SOUL and will tempt you with money, illicit love, success, power - anything to get it! That aggressive, scheming, miracle-performing deceiver can do that. He has been successful with multitudes over the millennia. HE WILL ATTACK YOUR MIND with lust, anger, discouragement, hopelessness, unforgiveness, pride, etc. His imaginations will surely come. Stay alert and cast them down, and remain guarded. THE BATTLE IS IN THE MIND. Set your mind and heart on God and eternity. See Col. 3:1,2.
IF you are a Christian, YOU HAVE THE BEST OF THE BEST BECAUSE YOU HAVE JESUS. Ponder that truth, which the devil does NOT want you to believe. For more on the importance of our thought life, read Our Thought Life

Though Jesus being virgin born is TRUE, that is not information one must know in order to be saved. We can see that by examining the various salvation sermons, and related matters, scattered throughout the book of Acts (10:34-43; 13:38,39; 16:30,31; 20:21; 26:20; etc.).

For them to say Natural Immunity does not work, they are actually saying God's immunity design for humans is
worthless now and FULFILLS THIS:He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time. (Dan 7:25)
As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. (John 17:18)
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." (Mark 16:15)
So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith. (Acts 6:7)IF you are not doing your assignment, is it because of this?
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels. (Mark 8:38)** If so, REPENT. You must not be lazy or ashamed of Jesus or God's word. Jesus is the creator of the universe and our judge. He also has the words of eternal life. WHY would anyone be ashamed of the King or his life-giving words? Now go work in his vineyard - GO AFTER SOULS as God wants.
I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. (Acts 20:23)
Read Acts 24 for a blessing. Note Paul's message to Felix and his reaction to the truth.
Jesus' First Recorded Words:
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." "WHY WERE YOU SEARCHING FOR ME?" He asked. "DIDN'T YOU KNOW I HAD TO BE IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE?" But they did not understand what he was saying to them. (Luke 2:48-50)**Jesus' first recorded words, at the age of 12, were a rebuke to Mary and a shocking blow to Catholics! **See Mary's Words In The Bible

Abraham had a son BEFORE Isaac; Isaac was NOT his only male child, but Isaac was the UNIQUE ONE OF A KIND SON of Abraham - the son of promise. That Greek term describing him is - MONOGENES (Heb. 11:17) and is also found in Jn. 3:16 describing Jesus as the UNIQUE ONE OF A KIND SON of the Father. God has many sons, but ONLY ONE UNIQUE Son, the PRECIOUS Lord Jesus.
Jesus was NEVER created. He is ETERNAL LIFE (1 John 1:2). Do YOU "know him"? See 1 John 2:3,4.

Such KJVO people also seem to think they are the superior Christians. WHY? Because they use a KJV - the one and only KJV - and, therefore, condescendingly disdain as inferior other professing Christians who dare to cite in their presence any translation other than their own error-ridden, archaic translation.
The staunch KJVO wants it both ways too: (1) the KJV is a "perfect translation", but when it BLASPHEMES GOD as an evil doer, who repents and repents and repents, then (2) they aren't pleased with a Hebrew word that lead to that blasphemous KJV translational error. [A perfect Holy Spirit inspired translation has no errors.]
How anyone can continue to exalt the KJV after knowing it declares God as an evil doer, who repents and repents and repents, implies to me that such people prefer their blasphemous translation which will spread that outrageous lie over accurately representing God as he truly is: as the holy, holy, holy one whose eyes are too pure to look on evil, cannot lie, unchanging, etc.
Escaping the KJV snare is very important so that you can learn God's word. If you fall prey and remain bound to KJV onlyism, you will be frustrated and misled, as you struggle UNSUCCESSFULLY to understand God's vital word. Remember, before 1611 NO CHRISTIAN EVER READ OR PREACHED FROM THE KJV and multitudes went to heaven.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because GOD IS LOVE. (1 John 4:8)
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: GOD IS LIGHT; in him there is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5)
THE LIFE appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you THE ETERNAL LIFE, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. (1 John 1:2)
And this is the testimony: God has given us ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. (1 John 5:11,12)
So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.' (Luke 17:10)
If you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies, and even the ground where they are. But on that day I WILL DEAL DIFFERENTLY WITH THE LAND OF GOSHEN, WHERE MY PEOPLE LIVE; no swarms of flies will be there, so that you will know that I, the LORD, am in this land. I WILL MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN MY PEOPLE AND YOUR PEOPLE. This miraculous sign will occur tomorrow. (Exo 8:21-23)
So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days. No one could see anyone else or leave his place for three days. Yet ALL THE ISRAELITES HAD LIGHT IN THE PLACES WHERE THEY LIVED. (Exo. 10:22,23)**The primary distinction and blessing between the righteous and unrighteous is where we spend ETERNITY - either in God's holy PARADISE kingdom OR in eternal fiery torment. Before our departure to Paradise, we'll be placed in captivity awaiting decapitation (Rev. 13:10; 20:4). STAND FIRM. SHINE YOUR LIGHT BRIGHT FOR JESUS. THIS IS OUR "TEST."
See The KILLER God.

This helps to explains why SLAVERY IS IN THE BIBLE:
The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the LORD. But now HIS CREDITOR IS COMING TO TAKE MY TWO BOYS AS HIS SLAVES." (2 Ki 4:1)People, and even perhaps their whole family, became SLAVES to pay their debt. They had nothing else to give but themselves and had to work their debt off. They didn't have bankruptcy as we have in our day.

How important is ONE TOOTH?
And if he knocks out the tooth of a manservant or maidservant, he must LET THE SERVANT [SLAVE] GO FREE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE TOOTH. (Exo 21:27)

But when they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw. When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.To teach one must speak in tongues to be saved is HERESY. Do not be deceived. The Apostolics or Jesus Only make that mistake.When they arrived, they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. (Acts 8:12-17)

The crux of the Black Hebrew Israelites is the insistence that Jesus was black and that the true Israelites of the Bible were black. Furthermore, many of them (there are many offshoots of this cult) favor the OT and the dietary laws etc.; hence, by returning to the Old Testament practices to "get back to their Hebrew roots", many have fallen from grace to where Christ is of no benefit to them (Gal. 5:2-4). The devil has used the hook of ethnic pride to lure some black people away from Christ. FORGET ABOUT SKIN COLOR AND FOCUS ON HEART PURITY NEEDED TO ENTER PARADISE. See:
