He said to them, "When you pray, say: 'Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.' " (Luke 11:2-4)

We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. (Heb 2:1)

"His master replied, 'You WICKED, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. "'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And THROW THAT WORTHLESS SERVANT OUTSIDE, INTO THE DARKNESS, WHERE THERE WILL BE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.' (Mat 25:26-30)That wicked, lazy and worthless servant (who brought forth no fruit) is going to that horrible place. *OSAS teachers deny that outer darkness, with weeping and gnashing of teeth, is reserved solely for the lost - that ending up in such a place is NOT proof of being lost, but WHAT IS THE TRUTH? THE KEY TO KNOWING is to compare that passage to other related scriptures:
** Shockingly, Charles Stanley has stated that outer darkness is a part of heaven for Christians, who lose their rewards, where they will weep and gnash their teeth.
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will WEED OUT of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into THE FIERY FURNACE, WHERE THERE WILL BE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH. (Mat 13:41,42)
This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the WICKED [WEEDS/TARES/CHAFF] from the righteous [wheat] and throw them into THE FIERY FURNACE, WHERE THERE WILL BE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH. (Mat 13:49,50)
Also, the "wicked" (poneros), just like the lazy, fruitless servant in Mt. 25:26, is unsaved.
This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the WICKED [poneros] from the righteous and throw them into THE FIERY FURNACE, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat.13:49,50)

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)
Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. BY HER TEACHING SHE MISLEADS MY SERVANTS into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. (Rev 2:20)Hence, we are warned:
I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those **WHO CAUSE DIVISIONS and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. KEEP AWAY FROM THEM. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery THEY DECEIVE THE MINDS OF NAIVE PEOPLE. (Rom 16:17,18)
** THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DIVIDE YOU, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. (Jude 1:19)

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man , he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross! (Phil 2:5-8)
The aforementioned truths may help some Jehovah's Witnesses, Muslims and others find the real Jesus of the Bible.

You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and DO NOT NEED A THING.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. (Rev 3:17)Again, they thought they did not need a thing! Their focus was on the material and natural, not the spiritual, and they did not realize how wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked they really were spiritually. Jesus taught:
No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. (Mat 6:24)** FYI: Jesus did not have one commending thing to say about that church group! (Also, lukewarmness is contagious, and the entire group was lukewarm.)

"Therefore COME OUT FROM THEM AND BE SEPARATE, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." (2 Cor 6:17)Go out:
I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I AM SENDING YOU TO THEM to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.' (Acts 26:17,18)
Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I AM SENDING YOU." (John 20:21)
Go! I AM SENDING YOU OUT like lambs among wolves. (Luke 10:3)
I AM SENDING YOU OUT like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. (Mat 10:16)
He said to them, "GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOOD NEWS TO ALL CREATION. (Mark 16:15)
Therefore GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Mat 28:19,20)These 2 SEEMINGLY (but not) contradictory commands are encapsulated here in this one passage.
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. (John 17:15-18)Another problem is: friendship evangelism. That is actually dangerous for the Christian.

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)
But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And WE ARE HIS HOUSE, IF WE HOLD ON TO OUR COURAGE AND THE HOPE OF WHICH WE BOAST. (Heb 3:6)ALL who are saved have the Spirit of Christ within; they are "God's house":
... And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. (Rom 8:9)For a Christian to remain God's house, he must "hold on" to his courage and hope or he is no longer saved.
Ponder these other "hold on" verses: (Heb. 3:14; 1 Tim: 1:19; Rev: 3:11; 2:25; 1 Thess. 5:21).

The angel added, "I will so increase YOUR DESCENDANTS THAT THEY WILL BE TOO NUMEROUS TO COUNT." The angel of the LORD also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him ISHMAEL, for the LORD has heard of your misery. HE WILL BE A WILD DONKEY OF A MAN; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will LIVE IN HOSTILITY TOWARD ALL HIS BROTHERS." (Gen 16:10-12)That description of Ishmael is the background of the Islamic religion. Muslims, great in number, live in hostility towards all non-Muslims.

But I tell you that anyone who LOOKS AT A WOMAN LUSTFULLY has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. (Mat 5:28,29)
He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery." (Mark 10:11,12)
You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. (James 4:4)Mental lusting in the heart after another, remarriage when the covenant spouse is alive, as is being a friend of the world, are all other ways to commit ADULTERY. Unforgiven ADULTERY will drag one to the lake of fire, even a previous Christian (1 Cor. 6:9,10; Eph. 5:5-7; Rev. 21:8)!
**GO BY SCRIPTURE ALONE - not a dictionary, even if it is in the back of a Bible!

This brought Paul AND BARNABAS into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. (Acts 15:2)Later, there was a change (for the worse) in Barnabas, in part, because of Peter's BAD example. Such was directly related to his stand (with Paul) in Acts 15:2:
When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong. Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that BY THEIR HYPOCRISY EVEN BARNABAS WAS LED ASTRAY. (Gal 2:11-13)Paul STOOD ALONE for the truth and even, at times, against other Apostles.

But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you may be sure that YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT. (Num 32:23)Read Numbers 32 to get the context, but the point is: NO ONE GETS AWAY WITH SIN; THERE ARE NO SECRET SINS; GOD SEES EVERYTHING AND WE WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT TO HIM.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (Heb. 4:13)

"On the Sabbath day, make an offering of two lambs a year old without defect, together with its drink offering and a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil. This is THE BURNT OFFERING FOR EVERY SABBATH, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering" (Num. 28:9,10).This OT command for Sabbath keepers is clearly forbidden under the New Covenant, in light of the book of Hebrews. The early Christians didn't do this practice and, therefore, did not keep the Saturday Sabbath command like Israel (Ex. 20:8-11 cf. Num. 28:9,10).
That means ALL SABBATARIANS today, including the MESSIANIC JEWS, are wrong.

Surely you place them [the wicked] on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin. How SUDDENLY are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors! (Psa 73:18,19)The wicked are going down:
A scoundrel and villain, who goes about with a corrupt mouth, who winks with his eye, signals with his feet and motions with his fingers, who plots evil with deceit in his heart-- he always stirs up dissension. Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; HE WILL SUDDENLY BE DESTROYED--WITHOUT REMEDY. (Prov 6:12-15)

And as for you, brothers, NEVER TIRE OF DOING WHAT IS RIGHT. (2 Th 3:13)The reason WHY is not stated, but it is good for everyone, including the person obeying:
The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will REAP ETERNAL LIFE. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest IF WE DO NOT GIVE UP. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. (Gal 6:8-10)

Then the angel showed me THE RIVER OF THE WATER OF LIFE, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of THE RIVER stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. (Rev. 22:1,2)Imagine a GUSHING RIVER in a city! New Jerusalem is TOTALLY UNLIKE anything we are acquainted with in this world. The sights and sounds there are wonderfully different, while being in God's holy and loving presence, with ONLY righteous people and holy angels around and NO wicked people, not even one.
A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. (Psa. 37:10)

The Catholic Mary is an idolatrous fantasy, an illusion, a myth - not the real Bible Mary, who was in the Upper Room awaiting to be filled with the Holy Spirit with the other 120 (Acts 1).
Catholics have invented 'holy days of obligation' and have set apart MORE holidays for their mythical Mary than for the Lord Jesus Christ! They have also REPLACED JESUS WITH MARY for being 'the Way' to God (as it says in Jn. 14:6) with their 'approved' Marian apparition at Fatima in 1917. They do the same by declaring Mary their 'LIFE, sweetness and hope' instead of the Lord Jesus. Now some have juggled critical scriptural words around to elevate their fantasies. Scripture says:
but whoever denies me [Jesus] before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven. (Mt. 10:33, ESV)That's the truth that God wants us to know - not the counterfeit from Catholicism, as some are wrongly believing and claiming. JESUS IS THE FOCUS.

WHY? Because their doctrine is: backsliders remain saved in the vilest unrepentant sins. Hence, 'once saved, ALWAYS saved'.
In total contrast to that widespread deadly doctrinal SOUL poison is the following passage:
But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, "YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE DEVIL and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? (Acts 13:8-10)Because of his actions, Paul knew Elymas was a lost man - "a child of the devil". OSAS proponents, because of their doctrine, cannot make such a statement. They might even consider him a 'carnal Christian', bound for heaven, if he ever had a past moment of faith.
The greatest doctrinal threat to holiness is the heretical false gospel of eternal security, also called once saved always saved or the perseverance of the saints. Be assured our PRESENT-TENSE BEHAVIOR identifies us spiritually:
This is how we KNOW who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother. (1 John 3:10)
No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 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, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. (1 John 3:6-9)
We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:3,4)
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. (Mt. 7:18)
If anyone considers himself religious and yet DOES NOT KEEP A TIGHT REIN ON HIS TONGUE, HE DECEIVES HIMSELF AND HIS RELIGION IS WORTHLESS. (James 1:26)
False teachers, such as the OSAS teachers, Catholic priests, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Muslims and many others, will lead YOU to ETERNAL FIRE, if you just believe their distortions. **YOU MUST especially get in the New Testament and change accordingly, based on the word.

That chapter is LOADED with truth, and it shows (among other things) how God avenges people; we are to make space for God to repay in his time, as vengeance is his.
Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. (Rom 12:19)
The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his foes and vents his wrath against his enemies. (Nahum 1:2)
God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power... (2 Th 1:6-9)Some of the things happening around us might be related to the Lord's vengeance.

"BECAUSE OF ALL THEIR WICKEDNESS in Gilgal, I HATED them there. Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious. Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay their cherished offspring." My God will reject them because they have not obeyed him; they will be wanderers among the nations. (Hosea 9:15-17)
SIN is what caused that cascade of horrible events. When the devil comes tempting, NEVER is the potential victim warned of the pain, misery and spiritual death associated with wickedness.
