Avoid Heresies and Wickedness (CW14)

  'World War 3 is at Hand'
 
While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Scoffers of the Last Days
2 Pet 2:3-4  knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation."
    In the last days scoffers and worldly Christian leaders will reject End-time messages and the word of God due to unbelief. They are pleasuring themselves here that they do not want Jesus to come. They distort the word of God with heresies and accept only blessings, prosperity and divine health while ignoring obedience, refinement and holiness.

Perilous time in the last days
2 Tim 3:1-5  But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

1. Lover of oneself – Care only for one's welfare, success, pleasure and happiness.
2. Lover of money – One who find excuses to avoid helping the poor, the destitute, His ministries and charities.
3. Blasphemer – One who uses His name or the Holy Spirit to lie, to prophesy and to deceive for personal gain.
4. Despiser of good – One who runs down godly and biblical Christians to justify one's greed, position or heresy.
    Brethren, Let's flee from all hypocrisies, greed, wickedness, carnality, worldliness, lying, jealousy, unforgiveness, hatred... (Rom 1:24-32)

Truthless Leaders
2 Tim 4:3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers, and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
    Many of today's truthless pastors, televangelists, Christian leaders are actually Satan's servants who teach heresies and demonic doctrines. They are also abominable, merciless, thieves, drunkards, covetous, carnal, worldly, blasphemous, unholy, liars and even homosexuals.

Be Merciful
Luke 2:10-11  So the people asked him, saying, "What shall we do then?" He answered and said to them, "He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."
     Share with the poor and unfortunate your blessings (wealth), for World War 3 will reduce your wealth to nothing. On top of that you are answerable for the money you buried (hoarded), which could have been used to save many souls.

Wrath of God
Rom 1:18-31  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
  World War 3 is God's wrath on the false, depraved and wicked church leaders. He will allow the Antichrist to kill all of them to prevent them from teaching heresies to the multitudes of new converts.

Brethren, be a disciple of Jesus and not a disciple of the man-made denomination to ensure that you are free from wrong doctrines and heresies.

Grace and Truth (CW13)

   'World War 3 is at Hand'
 
While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

More of Jesus' truth that cannot be contradicted.

The Grace of God
John 1:14  And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
    God sent Jesus into the world to give mankind His grace and truth.

Saving Grace
Eph 2:8  For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
   To obtain God's saving grace, we must walk out our faith by doing the following:-
1. believe that Jesus the Son of God was the Word made flesh, He died on the cross as propitiation for our sins and on the third day He rose having victory over death,
2. acknowledge that we are sinners by confessing our sins,
3. accept and confess Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior,
    Only after walking out this faith in Him, He will grant us His saving grace by giving us the Holy Spirit of redemption to be born again Christians.

Saved for Good Works
Eph 2:10  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
   Having been saved by His grace, we are expected to do the following good works:-

1. Believe who He is (Creator, Saviour, Father, Healer, Teacher, Provider, etc.)
John 6:29  Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."

2. Operate the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12) for the profit of the church.

3. Preach the gospel to all (Mark 16:15)

4. Be Jesus' disciples by abiding in His words. (John 8:31)

5. Make disciples of all nations (Mat 24:19-21)

   God will reward everyone of us  according to our works.
Mat 16:27  For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

More Grace - the Spirit of Truth
Jam 4:6  But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
    When we humble ourselves to obey His words, He will shower us with more grace

John 14:15-17a, 26; 16:13  "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth... But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you... However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
   So when a Christian keeps His commandments, God will have to admit that he loves God and He will grant him another Helper, the Spirit of truth, who will guide him into all truth so that he is free from the bondages of this wicked world, deceptions, lies, heresies.
(John 8:32  "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.")
The Spirit of truth will also tell (teach) him the end time signs and prophecies.

Grace overcomes the Flesh
2Cor 6:1,4-10  We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain... But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes... by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, by the word of truth, by the power of God... as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Jesus' Commands (CW12)

    'World War 3 is at Hand'

While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

More of Jesus' truth that cannot be contradicted.

Observe Jesus' commands
Mat 28:18-20  And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
   Every Christian must observe all things that Jesus has commanded him so that as His faithful servant, he will be able to teach new converts to observe them.
   However, if you have distorted His words by adding heresies (especially wrong denominational doctrines), then you may be the tare (heretic or evil servant) meant for damnation.

Faithful Servant
Mat 24:45-47  "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods.
   The faithful servant nurtures his sheep and teaches them to observe the commands of Jesus.

The Evil Servant
Mat 24:48-  But if that evil servant says in his heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,' and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
   Evil servants (church leaders) are selfish, covetous, blind, wicked and without truth because they did not observe Jesus commands and words. These wolves in sheepskin will be killed in World War 3, and then thrown into Hades.

The love for God and man
Mat 22:37-40  Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
   Our Lord Jesus summarised the Law and the Prophets into just two commandments:
1. Love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind - they will keep His feasts, Sabbath and religious and ceremonial laws.
2. Love your neighbor as yourself - they will not do anything that will hurt or harm them.
Rom 13:9-10  For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

The Love of Jesus
Phi 2:8  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
    Jesus' perfect love for the Father made Him obey His commands to die on the cross.
    Jesus died for our sins because of God's great love for mankind.

As I have loved you
John 13:34  A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
   Just before Jesus was crucified, He taught His disciples to love one another as how He would love them by dying on the cross for their salvation. This is the greatest love for God and man, thereby fulfilling the Law and the Prophets.
1 John 3:14  We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

Jesus' Truth (CW11)

   'World War 3 is at Hand'

While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Below are some of Jesus' truth that cannot be contradicted.

Gospel of Grace or Christ according to Jesus
Luke 24:46-47  Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."
    Jesus taught us the Gospel of grace. New converts must believe Jesus and accept the Gospel of grace as follows:
1. Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God and the Word made flesh.
2. He suffered and was killed (crucified). At the cross He poured out His blood for the remission of our sins.
3. He died and having overcome death, He set us free from the fear of death.
4. On the third day, He rose from the dead.
    After their sincere prayers, our Lord Jesus will give the new believers the Holy Spirit of redemption to dwell in them so that they become born again Christians.
Gal 1:9  As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

Only Way to Salvation
John 14:6  Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
    Brethren, our Lord Jesus had made it clear that He is the only way to salvation and also into the kingdom of God.

How then can the Jews who were before Jesus, obtained salvation ?
Mat 5:17  "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill."
   Jesus at His death and resurrection fulfilled the Law and the Prophets, so that He personally became the sacrifices and worships of the Jews.
   At His death, He made Himself the sacrificial lambs offered by sinful Jews since the days of Moses so that just like Christians, devout Jews were also saved by Jesus.
Note  No wonder, Jesus was their coming Saviour or Messiah as prophesied by Jeremiah.
Jer 31:31,34b  "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— ...For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."

Resurrection of the Saints of the OT
Mat 27:52-53  and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
    Jesus at His death, immediately, became the sacrificial lambs offered by the saints of old, who had kept the Mosaic Law (Moses, David, Daniel, etc.) and the Prophets (Abel, Enoch, Noah, etc.) so that their sins were also cleansed by Jesus' blood and just as godly Christians they too were made righteous and holy. Only then, they were worthy to follow our resurrected Lord back to heaven.

New Covenant of His Blood
Mat 26:28  For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
    At the death of Jesus, He fulfilled the prophecy of the coming New Covenant where, by the grace of God their sins would be forgiven.  
   This New Covenant of His blood has replaced the Old Covenant of the Law with the Israelites.
Heb 8:13 In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Gal 5:4  You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
   Since Jesus had fulfilled the Law and the Prophets, any Christian who keeps any part of the Law (feast, food, law, etc) has not believed that Jesus had fulfilled them, thereby indirectly calling Jesus a Liar. No wonder, Scripture says that they have fallen from His grace and have lost their salvation.

Sound Doctrines (CW10)

    'World War 3 is at Hand'
 
While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Follow sound doctrines to overcome heresies and wrong doctrines of depraved and covetous Christian leaders who are wolves in sheepskin and agents of Satan.

Doctrine of Jesus
John 7:16-17  Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority."
    Sound doctrines are doctrines of God, and only those who are prepared to obey Him and do His will and commands will be able to understand His doctrines. Our Lord taught sound doctrines to His disciples.
Note - All sound doctrines must conform to the whole counsel of God which constitutes God's attributes, covenants, ways, promises, plans, works, dealings, judgments, teachings, commandments and directions in the OT, and the teachings, words, commandments, sayings and parables of our Lord Jesus and the epistles of the Apostles in the NT.

Eph 2:20  having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,
     Sound doctrines are the very foundation of the Apostles, which is Christ centered. Only those who teach and practice sound doctrines can enter the new Jerusalem or the Kingdom of heaven.
Rev 21:14  Now the wall of the city (new Jerusalem) had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Lead to Godliness
1Tim 6:3-6  If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wrangling of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.
    Sound doctrines lead to godliness but doctrines of men and heresies are the results of disputes and arguments over words (esp. those using Hebrew and Greek to justify their own ideas). These heresies and worldly wisdom give no consideration to God's attributes, will, promises and covenants, Jesus' truth, commandments and words.

Edifies our Faith
1Tim 1:3-4  As I urged you when I went into Macedonia -- remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.
   Sound doctrines edifies our faith, but wrong doctrines, fables, etc. destroy our faith in Him and His word.

Exhort and Convict
Tit 1:9-11  holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict. For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain.
    Sound doctrines exhort us and also convict us of our ignorance in believing heresies.

Heresies - Worship in Vain
Mat 15:8-9  "'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'"
    Brethren when we are not teaching sound doctrines, God will not accept our worship (including thanksgivings, praises, offerings, prayers, requests, intercessions, etc.), so please forget and destroy all teachings, commandments or doctrines of men taken from books, writings and videos.    
   When we keep Jesus' words, I believe the Spirit of truth will guide us into all truth so that we will be able to overcome and expose distorted truth, wrong doctrines and heresies.

What shall we do then? (CW09)

   'World War 3 is at Hand'
 
While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Last days Wicked Christians
2 Tim 3:1-5  But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
    Since Christians in the last days are wicked, selfish, carnal, haughty and covetous, how many Christians will be found worthy to be His faithful servants and escape the horrific World War 3?
Note - the wicked generation of Noah, were all killed by the deluge except for Noah's family of 8 souls.
   Flee from the wickedness of end-time Christians by keeping the words of Jesus.

Bear Fruits of Repentance
Luke 3:8-9  Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance... And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
   The Jews especially the hypocrites, wicked and faithless were told to repent of their sins. Similarly, carnal, worldly, covetous, depraved, wicked and heretic Christians must first repent of their sins

What shall we do then?
Luke 3:10-11  So the people asked him, saying, "What shall we do then?" He answered and said to them, "He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."
    Not only do Christians need to feed their brethren but clothe them as well, which are signs of the love for the brethren.
1 John 3:17-18  But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

This is what you must do

1. Love the Brethren to escape Death (damnation)
    Support Christian missions and charitable homes for the poor and needy children, handicap and elderly. These organisations are provided by God to help you express your love for your brethren.
1 John 3:14  We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

2. Preach the Gospel of Christ or grace
Luke 24:46-47  Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."

3. Make Disciples of all Nations
Mat 28:19-20  "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

4. Understand and Teach End-time Signs
Mat 24:3  Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
    Teach the End-time signs with the teachings of Jesus in Mat 24 as the foundation so that as each end-time sign is fulfilled, the faith of Christian will be strengthened.
John 16:4  "But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you."

5. Flee from the curse of wickedness especially hoarding treasures in the last days.
James 5:1-6   Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!... You have heaped up treasure in the last days.

Harvest of Tares (CW08)

     World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

World War 3 Harvest of Tares
Mat 13:40-42  Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age
    World War 3 (4th Seal) will be the last major war, where God's judgment will remove all sinful, abominable, wicked and unrepentant Christians from the earth, before Rapture (6th Seal), when the world is safe and peaceful (1 Thess 5:1-4)

Where did the Tares come from?
Mat 13:27  So the servants of the owner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?
    Before Kennedy in 1962 rejected God giving Satan the foothold, Christian nations were the light to the world. They preached the gospel and uphold the truth in the bible. As pride set in and US began to be arrogant and carnal, heresies flourished in US churches.
   In 2010 President Barack Obama allowed homosexuals to join the US Armed Forces, which led to the legalization of homosexuality and same sex marriages in US, EU and many other Christian nations. This reveals that these fallen and depraved Christian nations were pseudo Christian nations or *tares*.

Love carnality and heresies
May 13:28-29  He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'Do you want us then to go and gather them up?' But he said, 'No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.'
    Killing the popular depraved Christian leaders (tares) will destroy the faith of the unlearned, immature and misled congregations, who have been deceived to love the world and the pleasures therein. They hate truth but love lies and heresies like the Israelites in the days of Jeremiah just before the annihilation of Jerusalem.
Jer 5:31  The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own power; And My people love to have it so. But what will you do in the end?

End Time Harvest of Tares
Mat 13:30  "Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, " First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."
    World War 3 (4th Seal) will see a quarter of mankind (2 billions) killed. All those killed (merciless, selfish, proud, abominable, covetous and hoarding treasures in the last days) will be cast into Hades - so this will be the End Time Harvest of the tares before the greatest ever harvest of wheat.
James 5:1-6  Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!... You have heaped up treasure in the last days.

Wicked Killed in WW3
Mat 13:41-42  The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire

all things that offend
   These are mainly sins of the flesh.
Gal 5:19-21  Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; ... that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

those who practice lawlessness
   These are the ones who disobey His commands, words and teachings but keep the demonic or worldly wisdom, teachings, untruth, lies and heresies.  
  These are hypocrites, liars, heretics, deceivers, false christ and false prophets.
1Tim 4:1-2  Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron.
