09/14/24 OBVIOUS BLASPHEMY FROM "papa"

Christ following, Bible believing people have been telling folks for a long time that Romanism is not Christian. It should be clear enough now for anyone who has even a modicum of Bible understanding that the papa of Rome is a false prophet.

The "papa" says there are many ways to God, but God's word says,
John 3:17-21
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 3:36
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Acts 4:12
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Faith in the atoning death and physical resurrection of Jesus (and in no other) is essential for salvation from sin and entrance to heaven.

The papa is a false witness.

We should not hate those who follow the papa or any other false teacher, but we should love them enough to tell them the truth. Remember, Christ loved all of us enough to die for us. We must not deny Him. We must proclaim His as the only Savior.

09/14/24 "saints" IN NAME ONLY

DETAILED ACCOUNT WITNESSING TO LDS
Two young women came by to "read scripture," to me. How nice was that? (smh)

They apparently were sisters because they were wearing badges that said they were. Their badges also said they were with The Church of Jesus Christ...

One of them was Sister Nunn. I asked if she gets a lot of reaction to her name? (She laughed). I asked them if they were Catholic.

They said, "No."

I told them, "I am catholic, but not Roman Catholic." "Sister Jensen" asked what the difference was. (I think she was the leader of those two LDS "missionaries.")

I told them that the word "catholic" means universal because there is only one church, which believes in Jesus, but Roman Catholics are separate from the one true Church. Bible believing Christians confess, "we believe in the holy catholic church." (The one true church.)

I pointed out that Jesus founded His Church, and there is only one true Church, which has existed since the time of Christ.

I then asked them, "Who founded your church?"

They stood dumbfounded and eventually said, "What does that mean?"

I gave them time to think about it and then repeated my question.

Again, they asked what I meant.

I told them that they knew what I meant: then I told them that Jesus founded my church, and Joseph Smith founded their church around 1824.
"DO you believe Joseph Smith founded your church?

They then said that Joseph Smith, "RESTORED THE CHURCH."

I asked, "Why did He restore it?"

They said, "BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN REMOVED."

I asked, "Where does it say that in the Bible?"

Again, they had no answer.

I told them that it is not in the Bible because the Church of Jesus Christ was never removed from the world. Therefore, it could not be restored, and the religion that Joseph Smith started is not the true Church.

They asked where it says that in the Bible, so I gave them a quick Bible lesson.

I recounted the life, death, and resurrection of Christ and how Paul established churches and appointed elders, and the Church has existed on earth since the time of Christ.

I pointed out that they don't believe in the God of the Bible; and they don't believe in the Jesus of the Bible.

To make this point, I asked them if they believed in only one God.
They both quickly said, "yes, we do."

I said, "No, you don't. You know you don't, and I know you don't, and you should be honest about it." I reminded them that God said in the Bible, "...there was no God before me, and there will be no God after me... I know of no other God."

I said, "Do you believe that men who follow your teaching will become gods?"

They said, "Yes."

I said, "You see, you don't believe in only one God.

The leader was then very irritated and said, "We are not being confrontational."

I said, "I am not being confrontational either, I am just sharing information."

She said, "All we want to do is teach you the Bible." (It was starting to sprinkle lightly, so I knew they would be leaving soon.)

I told her they couldn't teach me the Bible because they don't even believe the Bible? "But if you ever want to learn what the Bible says, come back, and I will be glad to share with you."

I also said that I doubted they would come back because out of the many Mormons who have told me they would come back, none of them ever did. They have always lied about their beliefs about God, and they always lie about coming back.

How sad that young people with such dedication to false religion are so hardened to God and His truth.

09/12/24 WILLFUL IGNORANCE IS SURRENDER

We are on the verge of a Communist overthrow, not because the majority loved Communism, but because the majority did not understand Communism, and they did not think understanding Communism was important. In fact, they are still willfully ignorant.

Shame on Christians and their pastors for ignoring one of Satan's greatest weapons against faith, freedom and family.

09/12/24 GODLESS PROPAGANDA IS THE NORM

09/12/24 GODLESS PROPAGANDA IS THE NORM

Though we have seen it with our own eyes, and heard it with our own ears, the lying "fact checkers" twisted the words and claimed Trump said things he did not say.

Now we see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears what Harris has said, and they (Harris, liberal media, "fact checkers") continue to boldly tell us that she did not say the things, which she has been recorded saying.

This is what Communist propaganda is like... no, this is Communist propaganda. Millions of people have lost their freedom, their property, their families, their lives because they did not trust God's word.
Willful rejection of truth (especially Biblical truth) results in eager acceptance of deception.

The ultimate extreme of this principle is seen in rejecting the gospel and denying Christ as Savior. There will be an increase of infidelity as the return of Christ draws closer. Gullibility will increase and faith in the spirit of darkness will grow greater. God, Who has called the lost, will no longer call, and He will give the doubting heart over to complete corruption. 

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

09/11/24 WICKED RULERS OPPRESS THE PEOPLE

The Bible says that the devil is the accuser of the brethren, and history shows us that evil prosecutes for the purpose of oppression.

This is not to equate or compare Trump to Christ, so stow it.

This is to point out that wickedness weaponizes government against the innocent, the righteous and anyone who is a threat to the champions of oppression. This includes: Satan's atack against God in Eden; Potiphar's wife against Joseph; Haman against Mordecai in Ahasuerus's court; the Chaldeans against "the three Hebrew children" in Nebuchadnezzar's court; the government rulers against Daniel in Darius's court; the religious leaders against Christ in Pilat's court; the many false witnesses against Paul and other believers in the New Testament; Communists and other oppressors of freedom and Christian truth throughout Christian history. It happens today and it will continue to happen until Jesus comes. Be aware, darkness hates light. It is better to be the donkey that voices God's truth than be the Donkeys that stifle God's truth.

09/11/24 GOD'S GLORY IS THE REASON

09/11/24 GOD'S GLORY IS THE REASON

My driving force should not be confused with Humanistic "Social Justice," or even Social Justice with a Christian orientation. My driving force should be the glory of God, through the proclamation of personal salvation in a living relationship with Jesus Christ.

I address the problems of evil in our society, hoping to awaken the dead, rescue the perishing, enlighten the blind, deliver the slave, set free the prisoner.

I want to see the spiritually deformed and malformed become transformed from sin to righteousness, and conformed to the image of Christ, not simply informed or reformed.

I warn folks about sin's darkness and corruption and futility and defeat, and then point them to God's light, purity, fullness, victory.

I am not simply a news reporter, I am a reporter of Good News. I don't simply warn folks about the pitfalls, obstacles and dangers along their journey, I tell them about God’s deliverance, provision and blessings.

I preach about the doom and gloom of sin, hoping to point lost men to Him. 

Hebrews 7:25
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
God desires your salvation, not your condemnation.

09/06/24 LIVING BY FAITH IS A CHOICE

09/06/24 LIVING BY FAITH IS A CHOICE

Though living by faith is a challenge for God's faithful children, it is not a burden. It becomes a burden when we rely on self, the arm of flesh, human ingenuity, manpower. 

We must build ourselves up on the holy faith and keep ourselves in the love of God.
Jude 1:20-21
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

We do these two things by humbling ourselves, aggressively seeking the Lord with the single eye, praying, reading and meditating on God's word, following the leading of the Holy Spirit, loving God with our whole being and loving our neighbor as we love ourselves, turning from evil, obeying God's commands, walking in the light we have already received.

There are other parts to the victorious Christian life. For the true child of God these actions are not human efforts of self righteousness; they are deliberate acts of faithful and loving obedience to our Lord and Savior. They are natural actions in the the realm of the supernatural life of those who are partakers of Divine nature. They are choices we make, rather than functions of Divine manipulation.

Living by faith is a choice, but it is a choice that we must make if we are going to be God's children.
