We Persuade Men!

“For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things done in the body, whether good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men!’ 2Cor5:10-11

Assuredly you will NEVER hear these warnings from your Church Pastors. But if you Read your Bible you will find MANY Warnings concerning Judgment according to Works. However NONE of it fits into your version of theology. The last Judgment has been Clearly shown in Scripture. Jesus Himself told us specifically what would occur that great and awful Day. (Matt7:21-23) MOST would come to Him claiming works done in His Name, CONVINCED they are His True followers, but find to their absolute horror, they were TOTALLY Deceived!

Yet None of this has any effect on the tens of thousands of professing Christians sitting in Churches slumbering their way to the Judgment. Millions are going to appear at this Judgment Seat expecting it to be a ‘Rewards’ issue, because their Pastors told them so. They are going to be Standing on the faulty foundation of Imputed Righteousness and Moral Transfer, assuming they are ‘eternally secure’ because they ‘believed’ in Jesus. Their Defense will be that they were Born Sinners and unable to Keep the Commands of God. So Justification to them meant that they were no longer Subject to the Judgment of the law or the Wrath of God. Even though the Word of God CLEARLY States Otherwise! (Eph5:6)

who “will render to each one according to his deeds”  eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, Rom2:6-8

In spite of this, you Continue to put your confidence in a Pastor, Teacher who can explain this and many other passages about Judgment away by simply diverting your Mind to a Doctrinal fallacy. It’s really very simple. You WANT to believe that your future Sins are covered! You want to believe that some kind of Magic Transfer has taken place and God now sees you as Righteous although you continue to sin. You’re willing to Stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ and present your case in this Manner, expecting leniency for being born imperfect. But it’s NOT going to Work!

Christ Cannot be your Substitute and your Example. Just as no one can be Spiritual and Carnal, or Walking in Darkness and Light. Because if you are Imputed Righteous, you’re NOT Doing RIGHT! You’re relying on someone to DO it for you! And again you Stand Condemned by Scripture:

Little children, let no one deceive you. He who Does righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, 1Jh3:7-8

Understand that it CAN’T be Both Ways! Trusting is Not Doing. So Faith that places its hope in a System of theology that Declares you Righteous while you remain un-Righteous is the same as the Faith of devils! (James2:19) At the Judgment Seat when you give your ‘Account’ of things done in the body, your only defense will be: ‘Well, Lord, no one is perfect!’ Then your Eyes will be WIDE Open to His Terror.

Judgment According to Deeds Done, as the Bible Really Teaches, would be a colossal paradigm shift in our Churches and Society. Teaching such a Truth would Shatter the false hopes of millions overnight! And put Most Pastors immediately out of work. Think of your timorous Pastor facing the Congregation Sunday morning and repeating the Lord’s Words in Rev22:11-14….. with deep feeling and force!

“He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. Rev22:11-14

But alas, this Passage, like so many others, is meaningless to you and your Pastor. You’ll already be ‘Raptured’ out before Revelation22 happens! WORKS have Nothing to do with it. This must apply only to Post-Trib Saints who faced the Beast and lost their heads over the Mark. Sounds like some Movie plot, but you Believe it! Why not? How could Christ expect you to DO anything when He Saved you in your sins to begin with? At least that’s what you think. There is really no reason to be overly concerned about Judgment, or how you will be found: ‘righteous or filthy’, ‘unjust or holy.’ Your world is Sealed. You exist inside a Cube where nothing can penetrate your intellect. Like the Pharisees who not even Jesus could reach with His eternal Words of Truth, YOU remain in Great Darkness following after Shepherds who speak lying words that cannot profit!

As Jude said, these are the ones who feed only themselves. Late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots! Wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. Harsh words, yes, BUT he is talking about Teachers who have turned the Grace of God into License to sin.

These are the SAME People in our day telling us Jesus was our Substitute and His Moral Virtue has been Transferred to us by faith. In their Great Swelling Words they claim our Future sins are forgiven and we are forever Secure in Christ. They tell us we are the Chief of Sinners and Romans Wretch, sinning daily in thought, word and deed, hopelessly in bondage to our inbred natures.

IT”S ALL LIES, And can be Proven false by the Scriptures. But the Pastors Peddle it like Cotton Candy!

No amount of Persuasion seems to have any impact on them. The spirit of error has them firmly in its grasp and they LOVE the ride! They bask in deception; singing, praising, worshiping and stuffing themselves with worldly entertainments that satisfy the lust of the flesh. All in the Name of God, appropriating His Light! But transforming it into something Dark and filthy.  What can rouse them from such a slumber? 

At the Judgment Seat will be too late.

In these Dark times so many who profess to have the True Light lack any urgency to uncover these fallacies and pull down the Strongholds of Lies ensnaring millions. It is painful to watch them drift aimlessly along casting their dispersions on those of us engaged in the fight. We face the enemy, take the fire and run all the risks, while they are quick to point out our flaws and complain about our tactics. Rather then helping they hinder. Like Elijah’s Silent Remnant, they remain aloof while the false prophets rule the land. It’s difficult to believe in their sincerity. HOW can they remain on the sidelines while a FEW of us guard the wall?

I have no possible explanations, but we must press on in spite of it all. The Lord will prevail and live or die the Victory belongs to HIM!

Building Bigger Barns!

I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided? So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. Luke16:18-21

How great of a Sacrifice are you willing to make to secure for yourself abundance in this world? Will you expend your time and energy toward reaching a prosperous goal? Work your fingers to the bone (so to speak) trying to achieve wealth and comfort for your old age? Surly hard work and diligence are commendable to the Lord. Far above laziness and sloth. But that is what ensnared the Rich man and enticed him to build bigger barns. In his community he was probably a highly respected business man, admired by everyone. Known far and wide for his charitable contributions and benevolent deeds. It would be difficult to convince anyone that this person was lost in his sins. Nothing is more highly respected in this world than the accumulation of great wealth and much success.

There is a delicate balance between having too much and not enough. The Scriptures admonish us to work for our own bread. Don’t allow ourselves to become idle and above all provide for our loved ones as you are able. There is certainly no advantage in being poor and having next to nothing. The heart of a poor person can be as vile as any Rich Man, even living homeless in the streets. God is not opposed to our things, ONLY if in those things our heart rests. As the rich man in the parable, he was like many of his brethren, a successful farmer. But he was not RICH toward God!

Our lives are determined by the choices we make. You do not have to be the Rich man to be ensnared in his dilemma. In this world we must work to survive and provide for our families. (it is our Duty to them and to God!) But if that ‘Work’ becomes your own quest to build bigger barns, how are you different? With extensive labor comes neglect of family, physical and emotional fatigue and barrenness of the soul. Naturally this affects relationships with your children. In your desire to provide for them you fail to bond with them. Then later in life you become alienated out of habit. Thus not being RICH toward the treasures God has given you (for children are a heritage from the Lord! PS127:3) you lose entirely the blessings of age and stumble in your regret.

Having enough is well and good, but how much is TOO much? We take nothing with us when we go. (but we all know that) So what is the accumulation of goods in regard to the memories of our love and relationship with our families? The measure of our devotion to them is seen in how much of ourselves we were willing to give compared to the provision we have made. Balancing the two is where we will find that Peace and harmony everyone is seeking for. It’s a Choice we have to make.

Most hard working people do not fall into the same camp with the Rich Man in the Parable. But they do simulate his actions by focusing on their holdings. Most of us could live on a lot less if necessary, (many of us have) so to what purpose is it to acquire massive amounts of debt to have the best things now? Such a situation only forces you into this ‘bigger barns’ mode and keeps you on the treadmill of drudgery. It’s best to live below your means and be Rich toward God, so in times of adversity you will have a solid foundation on which to stand with your family. Earning enough is important but providing your family with godly underpinning is essential. You lead by example! If you’re too busy ‘providing’ to monitor their spiritual state and your own, everyone suffers. It’s certainly better in this respect to let the Barns fall down if it means leaving your family barren in a spiritual wilderness.

Man is driven by Priority. If he can equate those priorities with service to his family it will be difficult to convince him he is doing anything wrong. Like the man in the parable he appears normal and the family learns to accept the routine. Therefore the missed celebrations pass without much notice. The times and seasons you could have spent with them (when it mattered) are gone forever. Opportunity has faded away. You should have been teaching them the things of God diligently, by word and by example. Speaking of them when you sit down and when you rise up! (Deut6:5-9) Instead you were gone amassing your fortune.

You can leave your family a fine inheritance, but if they remain Poor in Spirit what have you done? If their memories of you consist merely of your absence at work, what have you achieved? Even in retirement there will be no solace. Because once gone, these things cannot be redeemed. Why would Paul warn young Timothy about equating godliness with gain? (1Tim6:6-9) Pursuing riches (much or little) is a snare to the soul. The root of all evil in our hearts! Better to have None of this World’s goods and pursue Righteousness, godliness, faith, love, and patience. (1Tim6:11-12) Lay hold on eternal life! Especially if it’s going to hinder your Walk with God.

Jesus told us that no one can serve two masters. You can’t serve God and the mammon. (riches) We have all known professing Christians who believe that godliness is working seven days a week, all hours of the day to amass their fortune here on earth. Surly their lives testify that they are Dead to God, although they may indeed be nice people and highly moral. In time they are as the Scripture says, ‘Pierced through with many sorrows’, because with the increase comes the regret. Many will have their Souls required of them when they are not prepared to meet God. Will you be one of them?

Those who find themselves feeling a twinge of conviction on this subject need not despair. If you were merely the Rich man, with all your treasures on earth, this wouldn’t faze you from continuing to accumulate more goods and believing it is the best thing to do for your family. However if you have the Light of God in your soul you know these things are True then you highly regret your miss-steps even though they originated from good intentions. Unfortunately you can’t go back in time and remedy the past, only repent of it and move on. But you can amend the Present and vow not to repeat the same mistakes over again. Make your Soul Rich Toward God and you will find that Peace we all seek. For the only things in this life that never fail is the love we have for Christ and His enduring Truth.

Heaps and Heaps of Pastors!

You can’t expect your sorely misguided Pastor to expose himself as false. If he was to start naming names and pointing fingers at other false teachers, his career would be very short lived. Therefore the Truth remains hidden to him and as a result, he cannot teach what he DOES NOT know. As Jesus said, it’s the Blind leading the Blind! (Matt 15:14) Your Pastor will inevitably keep you in the Dark. No matter how much Knowledge you accumulate about the Bible, it is all based on the spirit of error and leading people down the road to Perdition.

Your Pastors are NOT telling that Faith Works by Love and Purifies the heart of sin. You think Faith is Passive and Righteousness is Positional. He also is not telling you that the Bible teaches you will be JUDGED According to your WORKS of Faith at the Judgment Seat of Christ. (1Pet1:17, Rom2:7-8) Or that what you are NOW is what you will be then! (Rev22:11-14) If your heart is defiled now it will remain so at the Judgment. Nothing Magic is going to happen to change your Passions and Desires. You were supposed to have CRUCIFIED them in Repentance at initial conversion. (Rom6:4-6, Gal5:24)  But you came into the Faith with a handshake and smile from the Pastor who told you that Receiving Jesus was enough. He Certainly didn’t ask you to DO anything like getting CLEAR of your wrong doing! 2Cor7:11

Have you ever wondered why the Gospel is so ear pleasing? Or why God would make absolutely NO Demands on you a poor, wretched sinner? How long would you stick around a church that constantly preached that you must STOP sinning and live a life pleasing to God to enter the Kingdom? Not long, I bet.

That’s why the Soft-Sell Message has the ears of the masses and will continue to have them as our society descends further and further into the depths of Satan. (Rev2:24) But the Pastors make it all sound so good. Plus they LOOK so godly! WHO is your friend (in your mind) The person who points out your wrong doing and makes you feel uncomfortable…..or the Person who tells that God is Love and has so many wonderful blessing to bestow on your life? (Easy choice, right!)

How do you think the Phony teachers felt in Paul and Peter’s time when the Apostles called them heretics and IN DETAIL Described their doings to the Churches? Paul said they were Satan’s own Ministers Posing as Ministers of Righteousness! (2Cor11:13-15) Peter said they all had eyes FULL of adultery that could not cease from sin. (2Pet2:14) and much, much more. You think they were happy about being exposed to the people? They also were PASTORS. Not cult leaders. But what they were teaching was not only in Error, it was DEADLY DANGEROUS to the souls of men!!! Thank God someone had the Moral Courage to expose them, before they could destroy more precious souls with their lies.

But today NO ONE CARES. You Sit in churches where you are Constantly told you were Born a Wretched sinner and incapable of obeying God unless He somehow changes your desires so you can believe. You are told that Paul was the CHIEF of Sinners and that he wrote Romans 7 to show how everyone has a ‘Sinful Nature’ working in their flesh that makes them sin! The Pastors have you Bewitched! (Gal 3:1) Even though you have a Bible at your disposal to read and verify, your pre-conceived notions won’t permit you to see the Truth! Is there any wonder why God has given you over to the Strong Delusion of error where the Light you THINK is in you is really absolute Darkness. (Matt6:23)

How is anyone ever going to improve their conduct in this world if they believe in a God who demands nothing more than they ‘Believe’ in Jesus? Everyone is Saved in their sins and regardless of Doctrine NO ONE is going to believe that God will cast them out for committing the same sins He saved them in! The Pastors may argue that they don’t Condone a sinful life-style, but Bottom Line, ‘IF’ you are Born a Sinner then you can do Nothing but Sin. Think about it, what is the Common Place Behavior in your local churches? Godliness, Decency, Purity and Self-Control….or Hypocrisy, Double-mindedness and general Disobedience to God’s Word!? Unless you’re a Blind guide living in La La Land, you have to see that the so-called Christian Church is a Joke!

WHO is going to Put forth any Effort whatsoever to Walk Worthy of God, Guard their Hearts and Minds against sin and Add to a Faith Working by Love, when it doesn’t matter what you do because Salvation is NOT of Works!? Thus the WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (1John3:8) are cast out as well! And you walk around arguing that YOUR Pastor is teaching the Truth!

You have people in your Churches right now who knowingly drink, smoke, use foul language, tell dirty stories and are addicted to all various forms of vain entertainments and lusts of the flesh. They have NO KNOWLEDGE of the Word of God and could care less if they ever do. The Pastor treats them as fine upstanding members of the church and NEVER mentions any of their vile habits from the Pulpit. To him they are ‘Saved’ and it’s up to God to someday CHANGE their desires from evil to good.

The Christian religion (as taught in the churches) is full of contradictions. They claim to serve the One True God as the only Way to heaven, but they live like Hell! They honor God’s Ten Commandments but DO NOT OBEY them. Basically they Believe in a God who created them Sinners and then Sent Jesus as a remedy for their sinful natures. They claim that the wages of sin is Death, but teach that everyone sins daily in thought, word and deed! But as ‘Christians’ they are NOT Slaves to who they obey. (Rom6:16)

Jesus told everyone to STRIVE to Enter the Narrow Gate and FEW would find it. They are taught to ‘Receive’ Jesus and ‘Trust’ that He provided everything necessary to get you into the Kingdom.

Essentially present day Christianity offers NOTHING to the World in the way of Social reform. Since they teach that your Sins are forgiven in advance, ANYONE can claim to be Christian regardless of their Conduct and Worldly life-styles. Therefore anything goes! The most vile people on earth can call themselves Christians and NO ONE can refute it. (Because they are all living in sin also!) But everyone pretends their Church is the right one and their Pastor is defending the Truth. Thus Generations of false teaching is conveyed to the people and ENTIRE families are swallowed up in eternity as Workers of Iniquity, facing the Judgment totally unaware. (Matt7:21-23)

If you as a True Spirit filled Christian are to effectively contend against this Mass Delusion you must realize two things up front. One: You are dealing with the Roaring Lion! (1Pet5:8-9) Going in unprepared you WILL BE Ripped to Shreds. These Doctrines are Satan’s Master Deceptions and are Centuries old. Many people of great stature have attempted to bring down this System and failed. Beware and realize what you up against.

Two: If you Do Not understand WHY someone Believes error, you will be constantly bogged down in useless debates that lead to nothing. You MUST first Sort Out the theology behind it and learn to Disseminate the issues. Then you will be able to formulate questions to confound them and reveal the illogic of their errors. That’s why it’s important for you to study the traditions and doctrines and find out where and how they originated. Although you may never use the facts and terminology when talking to others but you will be able to Pose questions that may help them see the contradictions.

For example if you Don’t Understand WHY they believe that ‘Everything’ is sin and no one can ever stop sinning, you will never be able to Pull down the Strongholds that have them bondage to such lies.

Example: If you have not Studied the origins and the Doctrinal definitions of Original Sin you will never be able to understand why or how they believe that every Soul God Creates is Born Dead in Sin.

If you do not recognize the Fallacy of Original Sin is what Necessitates the entire structure of False Doctrine in the church today you will be confused and bewildered by their arguments and objections.

The Bases of their Bondage to sin is this Doctrine. First and foremost above all others! Debating with them about Pre-Destination, Election, Eternal Security or any other number of subjects, is only going to enforce their deception. It won’t be long before you begin saying to yourself; ‘Close Enough’, in answer to their objections. Then the next step is Compromise and soon the spirit of error has you bound.

You Must always remember that you are on Satan’s Domain and the people in charge are in Sheep’s Clothing. (Matt7:15) They appear as Ministers of God! Some of them have huge followings and are very popular among the people. You are a Renegade among them, and according to the rumor mill, a Trouble maker. It’s highly unlikely you will have any effect on them whatsoever. Rather they will bring you down. Never forget that its there Mission to MOLD you into one of them! The Pastor will welcome you to the degree that you can serve his advantage. When it becomes obvious to him that you are not going to comply with the status quo, he will consider you his enemy and make all effort to rid the church of your presence. NOT because he hates you, but in his Mind, he is Protecting his people from harm.

Having your understanding of theology in order is absolutely essential to combat this Lie. Remember these people have exchanged the truth of God for the Lie and are under Strong Delusion. If anyone among them has a real Willingness to Know God, Dig for His Truth and Touch the Blood of Christ in reality, it will be OBVIOUS from the start. As the Parable of the Sower clearly shows. (Lk8:12-15) it is the Good and HONEST heart that responds. Unwillingness to Yield is a sure sign Satan has full control of their minds. (Js3:15) If Men are NOT Born in sin and have Both the WILL and the ABILITY to Turn and Obey God, then you MUST accept the fact that those Willing Will COME when they hear the Truth under the conviction Power of the Holy Spirit! That’s EXACTLY How it happened in the Bible:

Jesus Said:

Woe to You! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Matt11:21

It is ALWAYS the Un-Willingness of Man that spurs the Offer of God’s Mercy and rejects His Truth! God is Longsuffering, Patient and Kind, but man must CHOOSE Good over Evil of his own Free Will. All are Called. God is No Respecter of Persons. He Won’t Force anyone to Believe or Obey His Word. It’s up to each individual to make the Effort to Turn, Seek Him, Stop Sinning and Find the Truth! If they are not Willing to hear you, further persuasion is only going to make them more resistance to your message. Jesus told His Disciples to handle rejection by shaking the Dirt off their feet and moving on. If anyone who heard them wanted to follow after the Truth, they would COME! It’s the Same for you, so DON’T overstay your welcome thinking you can influence someone who hasn’t made the slightest effort to escape from the Lie.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! Matt23:37

The MAIN Thing your Pastors will NEVER tell you is that Obedience to the Word PURIFIES your Heart. (1Pet1:22) HOW are you going to Obey something you Know NOTHING about? Answer: You Won’t! So your heart (Mind) will never be Pure or Free from the bondage of lustful thoughts. Consequently you MUST embrace the lie to sooth and silence your conscience against conviction. In the Churches the Pastors will accommodate you. You need Know Nothing about the Bible or DO anything to Purify your heart to be a Christian. It’s was all DONE when you said, ‘I believe in Jesus!’ From that Point forward the BEST you will be taught is that you will Sin daily in thought, word and deed and God will accept you anyway because of Jesus. Once you learn to defend your sinning lifestyle with the ‘no one is perfect’ excuse, you’re a cooked goose! Everything you read in the Bible will support the sin message and your Obedience to the Word will always be arbitrary.

That’s why the Professing Christians in the Churches appear Clean on the Outside, but are DEAD on the inside. (Matt23:26-28) They Do Not Possess the Exceeding Righteousness of Faith Jesus said is required, (Matt5:20) Because such Faith is Based on OBEDIENCE to the Word! Religious Ritual cannot Cleanse your heart of sin, ONLY Obeying God by the Spirit. (1Pet1:22)

“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?  Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like:  He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” Luke6:46-49
