THE WIDOW’S MITE

Brothers and sisters, let us go to Lord Jesus’ table where He invites us all often to drink and dine deliciously, and abundantly in Him. We know that Jesus our Saviour, Mediator, High Priest, King, Lamb of God, Lion of Judah, Elder Brother, First Begotten from the dead, Alpha and Omega, Nourisher, appointed alone by God our Father, can fully nourish and satisfy our hearts, minds, and spirits to the full, so that we can all over time become mature in grace, spiritually whole, in our understanding, knowledge, manner of living, thinking, behaving, and faith through Him to the glory of God our Father.

The Poor Widow's Offering

(Mark 12:41-44)

1And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

Brothers and sisters, the widow could have chosen to give only a part of her living, but she chose to give it all. Some use her as an example in error to claim that even the poor must give and/or that God claims everything we own for Himself, which contradicts scriptures firstly in Deuteronomy and other books under the Mosaic Law the Levitical priesthood was to care for widows among others, and a portion of the tithes was to go for their care daily. The poor, widows among certain others were not commanded by God to tithe. There were certain commands by God for all the people to give. However, at those times, the poor, widows etc., were given money or goods from the people so that they could give of it to God.

However, the Levitical priesthood had become thoroughly corrupted. Instead of feeding the widows and the poor among others they were fleecing them and taking what little they had.

Shame to say but it is the truth today that some poor people have been made homeless by those who wrongly taught them to give their rent money as a sacrificial offering to please God, and/or that God would give them back more money than what they gave. The Bible is clear you, me, us are commanded to not tempt God. Having contracted a certain amount to the landlord, it was not ours to give to another source. If we promised our landlord rent so that he can continue his bills to maintain his property, we know we do not have the right to withhold our payments. It should not be a surprise that the landlord has to evict us for nonpayment of rent to get paying tenants and keep from losing his property. There can be terrible consequences for the ignorant or gullible who are deceived by those teaching a perverted gospel focused only on getting money from God. There is no question that more than a few deceived by the prosperity gospel, have lost homes, cars, and even their kids tuition for school.

Secondly, dearly beloveds, God calls for us to be good stewards, and to voluntarily share what we have wisely, God’s way, to help others, without depriving ourselves from having the means to also care for our own families or selves: 1Ti 5:8. Paul the apostle and our brother instructs us on giving: 2Co 8:12

For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

2Co 8:13For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:

THE BOTTOM LINE: 

2Co 9:7

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 

Therefore, dearly beloveds, we understand from the Word of God that the cheerful giver whose giving that God loves are those who willingly give out of love to God, but never at the expense of putting their family or themselves in need. Brothers and sisters do not allow mere men to cause you, me or us to give out of guilt or pressure. Do not give to get a big payday from God. Do not give rent, car, mortgage, school tuition, or agree/sign anything to give specific amounts of your income. Stay safe and do things God's way- is the only right way and the only right way is God's way according to His word, rightly divided.  Jesus didn’t condemn the widow but commended her for her great faith and love for God which compelled her to give all that she had. Jesus makes the widow's motives clear, she was not giving motivated by greed-to reap a big financial payback from God, she gave out of love not for financial gain. The Levites had perverted the Law in teaching her to give, although widows among others were exempted from giving the tithe by God. Lord Jesus strongly condemned the whole Levitical ministry: Mat 21:13

And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Feel free to study this further on your own. Your questions, and or comments are always welcome. Love and truth forever, serola

JESUS CHRIST IS GOD THE SON EQUAL WITH GOD THE FATHER.

Brothers and sisters, let us freely, continually, eat and drink to the full abundantly at the Lord’s table. NOTHING HERE IS ADDRESSING ANY WHO ARE SINCERE BUT IN ERROR MISINTERPRET SCRIPTURES, OR ANY UNSAVED PERSON YET TO HEAR OR UNDERSTAND THE GOSPEL MESSAGE. The righteous will receive correction/believe the truth. However, the wicked/evil man or woman will never believe the truth no matter how long or how often they hear it, so save your sympathy, believe Jesus and keep yourself from harm: Mat 7:6

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 

The Bible warns us about false teachers in the world, and in the physical church on earth. They know the truth, but don’t want to believe any of it. The false teacher resists the truth and will never believe by choice. They don’t want anyone else to believe either. They lie and pervert scripture to deny the truth and turn people away from God to themselves. The false teacher unrepentantly/willingly teach lies about God and His people. They teach lies and want to deceive others to spread the lies that God is fickle, weak, won’t and/or is powerless or unable to permanently keep or forgive the Christian permanently, so that any Christian can or will fall away in sin and unbelief at any time, under suffering, persecution, temptation etc.  We know the absolute truth from the scriptures that it is impossible for God to lie, who keeps His people forever, that NO Christian can or will ever blaspheme the Holy Ghost:  Mat 7:18

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

1Jo 3:9

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. The Seed in every believer is the Sower Jesus Christ Himself the Word of God: Mar 4:14 The sower soweth the word. Mat 13:37

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

We also know that that the evil man or woman will willingly/without repentance always blaspheme the Holy Ghost the Spirit of Truth: Mat 7:18

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

The false teacher is evil. It’s a God given fact, the false teacher is the child of the devil: Mat 13:39

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. No, evil people do not look evil, have horns, tails or are red in color, they look like ordinary people although some can even look like and present themselves as ministers of God: 2Co 11:14

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

2Co 11:15

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

The false teacher cannot cease from sin, because he or she does not want to: 2Pe 2:14. The false teacher pervert’s scripture by turning the truth into lies: Rom 1:25 to deceive and keep people from knowing the truth.

Saints (G20 hagios), don’t ever flinch to say the truth about evil people, because it’s supposed to be rude, not polite, judging, by the standards of mere men. We are commanded by God to speak His absolute truth in love, regardless of whom it might offend. We are commanded by God to discern both Good and evil and to clearly know/teach the eternal difference between them:

Rom 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Heb 5:14.

Dearly beloveds, No believer should ever be cowardly, ashamed, or  apologize for speaking the truth of God’s word. I make no apology about speaking God’s truth as He commands, and I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  The depraved evil man or woman out of hatred for God willingly comes to blaspheme, deny, drag our Lord Jesus’ name in the mud and trample on Him by lies and outright perversion of scripture, to turn people away from Him, and to themselves.

Mat 12:31

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Mat 12:32

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

The reason why the sin against the Holy Ghost can never be forgiven is because this specific sin is proof positive that a person is evil and of the children of the devil who like their father the devil hates God whose goal is to destroy God and His people and therefore, they will never repent of blasphemy. 

God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Ghost, ARE FOREVER three EQUAL eternal inseparable utterly holy Persons in one God lives in us and will be in us forever.

Jhn 14:28 - Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Scriptures interpret scriptures without error nor any contradictions whatsoever. When Jesus said: “ My Father is greater than I”. The false teacher will lie and pervert this to mean Jesus is less than God the Father.

The absolute truth is that It never meant, and will never mean that Jesus is lesser than or inferior to God the Father.

The absolute truth is clearly stated in scripture that what it means is that Lord Jesus in His earthly life/ministry voluntarily of His own free will chose to lower Himself/take on the form of a human being, while never ceasing to be sinless and God the Son. Only in this form could God the Father accept Jesus’ voluntary offer of Himself as the perfect sinless sacrifice to pay for the sins of all who believe in Him:  Heb 10:5

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, 

Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me.

Phl 2:4 - Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Phl 2:5 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Phl 2:6 - Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Phl 2:7 - But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Phl 2:8 - And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

1Co 15:28 - And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

When the resurrected Lord Jesus arose from the dead, having completed His mission and finished His atoning work forever, that God the Father had commanded of Him, He ascended back to God the Father in all the glory and power He had from the beginning with the Father.

We know that there is a willing submission within the trinity. This doesn't mean that one is greater than the other. Jesus a loving Son honors and submits to His Father, trusts Him completely and does all His will knowing that His Father does only that which is good and best for all.  The wicked man thinks that Jesus is weak and inferior, because He loves, serves, and honors God His Father and puts His Father's will above His own will. I pray that you, me, us will follow our Lord's example, and do our Father's will, putting His will above our own to the glory of the Father, through love and trust in Jesus. God does not call any of His people to be doormats or allow anyone to abuse or take advantage of them.

The wicked man thinks that if someone serves another or submits to another, then he is less than the other. The depraved, corrupt mind of the wicked man thinks only a fool serves another. 

Jesus actually taught the opposite for God's very nature is to serve.

Matthew 20:25-28 Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. (26) Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, (27) and whoever wants to be first must be your slave-- (28) just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Mark 9:35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."

The fact that Jesus willingly submits to the Father doesn't in anyway teach that He is less than the Father.

It just shows that He is God and God's nature is not like the nature of mere men without God, in particular the wicked who resist the truth willingly corrupt of mind, even their conscience is defiled. Without shame they blaspheme the absolute eternal efficiency, and efficacy of the body and blood of Christ in reconciling believers unto God through faith, and have pleasure in doing so, while exalting themselves as superior to God and men. The wicked man wants to be the greatest, wants to lord it over others, and promotes himself as superior to others.

Promotion is of the Lord: Luk 14:11 - For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Jas 4:10 - Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Humbling ourselves is not optional. If we do not do it ourselves, our loving Father will discipline/correct us to help us do it.

Dearly beloveds, God has given us His Son Jesus as the supreme example of a humble faithful obedient Son who loves God His Father and His people, serving selflessly putting the will of the Father above His own out of complete trust in the goodness of the Father towards all men. We likewise ought to have the same mind as Christ- willingly subject ourselves to the will of God the Father, and seek not just our own interests, but the interests of others as well, lovingly serving God and one another out of love and trust in God. Gal 5:13 - For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR AND SO ARE HIS CHILDREN

The false teacher is a liar, denies that salvation is permanent by teaching the lie that 1 John 1: 9 means after the believer is saved, he or she has to confess every sin thereafter to stay saved and not lose fellowship with God. Many are deceived by these lies. Instead of resting in the security and peace of the eternal redemption given through faith in Jesus Christ they live lives of misery, depression, guilt, shame, defeat, fear of dying and going to hell because they might have forgotten to confess some sin before death.

We must look at 1 John 1: 9 within the whole context of Scripture to avoid misinterpretation of scripture. I John 1;9 means exactly what it says: 1Jo 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.

John is not saying after we are saved, we still have a sin nature, are still sinners and we have to keep confessing our sins over and over again to stay saved/not lose fellowship with God like those under the Law of Moses. John is saying we can be confident if we have confessed that we are sinners believing in Christ our Saviour, He forgives us for ALL sins, not just some sins.

Christ is all powerful Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent. Christ is not bound by time, although human beings are. However, by His power He forever destroys our sins, therefore we are forgiven and there is no need for God our Father to keep or remember a record, for there no longer is one. The believer will never stand with the wicked in judgement. The believer will stand before Christ to give account of His work, to receive a reward or a beating, but the believer will never lose their salvation nor inheritance, for these are a gift of God through faith in Christ, and not by works.

John proves clearly declares that Christ's atonement forever forgives the believer of all sins past present and future by the power of Christ’s atonement. ALL sin is finished is permanent, complete, has no expiration date: 1Jo 3:6 - Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

1Jo 3:5 - And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1Jo 3:6 – Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jo 3:7 - Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Repentance is turning to God in belief after hearing the gospel. Afterwards this same repentance is not a one-time event but is evidenced in the new nature by living/ consistently choosing not to practice any sin, but to obey God publicly and privately in our character, conduct, manner of living and in our treatment of others out of love and trust in God: We have new natures, and the mind like that of Christ:  1Co 2:16

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? 1Co 2:16

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

We love God evidencing it through our desire to consistently please and obey Him.

1Jo 3:8 - He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he -might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jo 3:9 - Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

 AGAIN, THE SEED IS CHRIST-IN YOU. with God the Father and God the Holy Ghost, guarding and guiding from inside of you, me, us, making us one in Him and one another. One Lord, One Faith , One Baptism of the Spirit.

John continues to confirm clearly the new birth is permanent, not temporary, cannot be lost, cannot be inhabited by the devil: 1Jo 5:18 - We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

We know that no apostle/disciple including John knowing it is impossible for God to lie, would NEVER contradict Jesus Christ whom God appointed Head of the church. John would never deny that the power of the one- time offering of the sinless sacrifice of the body and blood of Jesus Christ forever forgives believers of all sins and saves them that believe on His name forever. John would never deny the New Covenant:  Heb 8:12 - For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Therefore, dearly beloveds, let us look at this again; John agrees and clearly defends the fact that whosoever confesses, Rom 10:9-15, (covenants) is forgiven of all sins forever, and no record is kept of them nor remembered by God ever again. 1Jo 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This never means those who are forgiven can live sinful lives or habitually practice sinning. There is an abundance of scripture that clearly teaches the believer how to live holy lives after salvation, and God boldly commands every believer-you, me, us:

1Pe 1:15 - But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

1Pe 1:16 - Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

God doesn’t call His people sinners He calls them saints (G40 hagios), children of God, the called-out ones, and many other endearments.

The New Covenant believer has a new nature because the old man with a natural old sin nature from birth is baptized into Christ's death and raised up or born from above again with a new nature, spirit, heart and mind that desires to please God: 1Co 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1Co 3:17 - If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 2Co 6:16 - And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of God:

Again, God through Christ completely forgives all who believe in Him of all sins past, present, and future, keeping no record of their sins for Christ's sake: Heb 10:17 - And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Heb 10:18 - Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Heb 10:26 - For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins…

Anyone after having understood the gospel message and who willfully choose/refuses to believe it proves that they are children of the devil and is damned/cursed by God forever. love and truth forever, serola

THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD IS OVER HIS PEOPLE NOW

Brothers and sisters, we know the absolute truth that you, me, us can do nothing without Jesus:  Jhn 15:5

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. I am the vine, Jesus, He is the perfect nourishment, perfect nourisher and life of the church appointed by God the Father to perfectly feed-the people of God, the body of Christ.

Abide-in the sense of a healthy branch that functions true to its nature fully attached to the vine so that it does not fail to continually receive the full nourishment from the vine, which enables it to grow strong- successfully ward off pests, disease, withstand inclement weather, and therefore reaches its full potential to produce an abundance of healthy fruit.

There is no substitute for the gospel. It must be taught, and it must be consumed regularly and lived daily, unmixed from denominational, institutional, organizational, and man or devil made doctrines. No believer can grow to maturity over time without being fed the whole gospel. All mixed gospel or none at all is a toxic spiritual poison that stunts/damages the spiritual growth of the believer. If you, me, us are not taught, or after we are taught fail to regularly also feed ourselves from the Word as God commands, we are damaging ourselves and the effects will manifest in some negative way(s). we don’t have to let that happen, brethren, let us go to the Word regularly in obedience to God out of love and trust in Him.

The guiding/guarding servant officers of the Church are commanded by God to live/feed the church the unmixed absolute whole truth of the atoning work of Christ in His New Covenant, to be understood/taught within the whole context of all scripture, and fully comprehended within the Standard of Christ held fully in the boundary of His commandments, principals, and doctrine of grace.  The New Covenant is inerrant, absolute, eternal, final, finished, complete, unchanging, explicit, exclusive, exhaustive, has no expiration date:  Act 20:28

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

We know that the sheep do not belong to the sheep tender, both the sheep tender and the sheep belong to God. Therefore, the sheep tender is commanded by God to take care to feed the sheep only the spiritual food that Jesus alone can supply, for nothing else can sustain the sheep.

Brothers and sisters, let us give Lord Jesus the sacrifices of our fervent love, praise and thanks continually, for His unfailing grace, love, mercy, compassion and kindness towards His people. Let us go to Him freely, boldly to receive help in our times of need. Let us take time to pray also for those amongst us who are sick, grieving, in any trouble and/or needy amongst us, those who need a word of encouragement in challenging times. Let us remember to give any practical help as we are able to visit those in nursing homes, hospitals, homeless, aid the home bound, children in the child welfare system-volunteer if you are able for the need is great as well as prayer for the children of this nation and in the world.  

Let us go to the Lord’s table to freely feast on the Word to find truth, instruction in righteousness, understanding, encouragement, comfort and strength in His power. Whether we come to Him alone or in a group of two or more, we know that Jesus is always with and in us and the Holy Ghost will aid us in the presence of God our Father to satisfy our deepest spiritual hungers and over time cause us all to grow to spiritual maturity in grace, love, and truth.

1Pe 4:17For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Before we begin this study, to avoid misinterpretations, or making a doctrine from any one verse in error; It is essential, better extremely important to fully comprehend the things that are absolutely forever excluded from God’s judging His people over.

No Christian will ever appear before the Great White Throne of God to be condemned with the wicked who reject Christ. Let us be absolutely settled, firm, without doubt nor wavering, but stand in the truth of Jesus that He is faithful and able to keep us from falling away: Jde 1:24

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

So, God keeps His people safe forever and doesn’t burn them up with the wicked right? Say aloud, right! Again, although God our Father is judging His people now, none of them, you, me, us will never be judged with the world which is the judgment of God’s punishment, and final condemnation of the wicked in the Lake of fire forever. So God isn’t speaking about destroying His people, right? Say aloud, right!

Dearly beloveds, our salvation is through the work of Christ and finished by Him. Let us examine ourselves to purge our minds and hearts of any and all false ideologies, works, doctrines, rituals, deeds, certain acts, that we must do to secure/keep our forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ:  Heb 12:2

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…

2Co 5:10

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. God tells us why He is judging His people now:

1Co 11:32

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Feel free to study further on your own the new man, new holy life in Christ, the abundant teachings of God regarding His Fatherly, loving disciplining(chastening) of His Children, the role of the church in as a whole and individually: no one is above church discipline.

1Ti 5:19

Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

1Ti 5:20

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

Col 3:25

But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Unlike the Old Covenant of the Law under Moses, which rightly inspired fear of punishment, curse, death, expulsion, the New Covenant offers the believer complete peace, assurance/confidence through faith in the eternal redemption of the body and blood of Christ, Heb 5:9. Therefore, saints (G40 hagios) every believer trust that the on-going/loving training and discipline from our heavenly Father will not destroy us but will strengthen/correct us, although initially it might deeply hurt our feelings at first in us knowing we have disappointed Him.  Pro 3:12; Heb 12:6; Heb 12:8-12. There is not one word in scripture that supports God’s approval of living a lifestyle of practicing any sinful behaviors. How God commands us to live as His people is abundantly laid out in scripture.

We know through the absolute truth of God our Father that He is never judging us to evaluate whether we will or will not receive an inheritance. Our inheritance is not by any works, it is the free gift of God, given at the same time the believer is saved: Act 26:18

To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Say it with me holy brethren, Christians will not and cannot lose their inheritance it is never by our works of any kind, it is the free gift of God through faith in Lord Jesus, given at the same time every believer is saved: Heb 9:15

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

1Pe 1:4

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

So, God is not speaking about taking away His inheritance from any believer here, right? Say aloud, right! We know from the mouth of Jesus Christ Himself that we are under His New Testament or Covenant, right? Say aloud, right! Say aloud saints (G40 hagios): Mat 26:28

For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Dearly beloveds, as mentioned earlier God does not judge His people on earth to determine whether or not they will keep or lose their salvation and/or reward, these are a free gift of God given to the believer the moment they believe in Jesus. God calls all people to repent, His goodness expressed through the gospel message leads the hearer to repentance, Rom 2:4. God opens up the salvation message to give every person a measure of faith to aid them in understanding and believing, Rom 12:3

 God will not force anyone to believe in Him. Knowing/living the truth of God’s Word protects the believers from deception. God is not sitting around trying to figure out who is or who is not saved amongst His people, because it is impossible for anyone to ever fool God:  2Ti 2:19. God also empowers His people to know who belongs to God and those who do not:

1Jo 2:4; 1Jo 3:9

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1Jo 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

Again, God makes it absolutely clear in His infallible word  that He doesn’t have to try and figure out whether a person is an authentic believer or not. God knows the heart and nothing can be hidden from Him: Heb 4:13

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

God does not get angry with those who in error misinterpret scripture out of ignorance. Those who are ignorant because they haven’t been taught scripture or make errors in interpretation will believe the truth when they hear the truth/receive correction. The wicked regardless of how often, or how long they hear the gospel truth will always reject it:  Jhn 3:19

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

The believer on earth is being evaluated by God for a REWARD BASED ON WHAT GOOD OR BAD THEY HAVE DONE OR NOT IN THE BODY.

GOD ALLOWS NO NEGOTIATION NO COMPROMISE, NO ADDING TO, NO TAKING AWAY FROM HIS WORD:  Gal 1:8-9.

Now holy brethren, if anyone comes to you impenitently perverting scripture contradicting the Word of God that man or woman is a liar, and damned. Say it aloud, anyone who impenitently contradicts the Word of God is a liar and damned:

 Mar 16:16;

Brothers and sisters, God commands us to understand the nature of evil people, they do not want to believe, and we cannot by endlessly arguing with them persuade them to believe.

2Jo 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

2Jo 1:11

For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

2Pe 2:22

But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.” love and truth forever, serola.

SALVATION IS PERMANENT NEVER TEMPORARY

Brothers and sisters, we know that we can do nothing without Jesus, nor can we grow to spiritual maturity without His Word: Jhn 15:5.  Thank God for the many faithful servant officers of the church who faithfully feed and protect the sheep.  God commands that every believer be taught the gospel, unmixed with non- biblical doctrines, and afterwards to continual study/ live by it privately and publicly. We don’t have to be pundits, scholars, gurus, or go to special schools, to be taught the scriptures and to go on to encourage/share it with one another and in the world. We know that those who are poorly nourished physically tend to have weaker immune systems, which increases their chances of illness. They are more likely to develop certain long-term health problems.  The same is true of the believer who are spiritually poorly nourished, through ignorance, neglect, where the gospel is suppressed, or mixed will not know how to protect themselves from predation, and abuse by the ungodly.

JESUS CHRIST IS GOD THE SON EQUAL WITH GOD THE FATHER.

God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Ghost, three EQUAL eternal inseparable utterly holy Persons in one God lives in us and will be in us forever.

Jhn 14:28 - Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

 Scriptures interpret scriptures without error nor any contradictions whatsoever. When Jesus said:  “ My Father is greater than I”. It never meant, and will never mean that Jesus was lesser than  or inferior to God the Father.

What it means is that Lord Jesus in His earthly life/ministry voluntarily of His own free will chose to lower Himself/take on the form of a human being, while never ceasing to be sinless and God the Son. Only in this form could God the Father accept Jesus’ voluntary offer of Himself as the perfect sinless sacrifice to pay for the sins of all who believe in Him:  Heb 10:5

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, 

Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me.

Phl 2:4 - Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Phl 2:5 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Phl 2:6 - Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Phl 2:7 - But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Phl 2:8 - And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

1Co 15:28 - And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

We know that there is a willing submission within the trinity. This doesn't mean that one is greater than the other.

It just shows that God is not like mere men without the Spirit. The wicked man thinks that if someone serves another or submits to another, then he is less than the other. The depraved, corrupt mind of the wicked man thinks only a fool serves another. 

Jesus actually taught the opposite for God's very nature is to serve.

Matthew 20:25-28 Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. (26) Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, (27) and whoever wants to be first must be your slave-- (28) just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Mark 9:35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."

The fact that Jesus willingly submits to the Father doesn't in anyway teach that He is less than the Father.

It just shows that He is God and God's nature is not like the nature of mere men without God, in particular the wicked who resist the truth willingly corrupt of mind, even their conscience is defiled. Without shame they blaspheme the absolute eternal efficiency, and efficacy of the body and blood of Christ in reconciling believers unto God through faith, and have pleasure in doing so, while exalting themselves as superior to God and men. The wicked man wants to be the greatest, wants to lord it over others, and promotes himself as superior to others.

Promotion is of the Lord: Luk 14:11 - For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Jas 4:10 - Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Dearly beloveds, God has given us His Son Jesus as the supreme example of a humble faithful obedient Son who loves God His Father and His people, serving selflessly putting the will of the Father above His own out of complete trust in the goodness of the Father towards all men. We likewise ought to have the same mind as Christ- willingly subject ourselves to the will of God the Father, and seek not just our own interests, but the interests of others as well, lovingly serving God and one another out of love and trust in God. Gal 5:13 - For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

 SALVATION IS ABSOLUTELY PERMANENT NEVER TEMPORARY

Salvation is not by works that any should boast, it is the free gift of God of forgiveness of all sins forever to whomsoever believes in Jesus Christ, God the Son of God. The forgiveness through the atonement of Christ is everlasting, unchanging, HAS NO EXPIRATION DATE it is permanent: The believer is made  a new creation with a new spirit, heart, mind, and indwelt by God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost who seals the believer permanently.

False teachers/fear mongers/blasphemers

The false teacher comes to undermine the faith and deceive the gullible and ignorant by twisting/perverting and directly blaspheming the everlasting atonement of Jesus Christ. They pervert scripture and will even use one verse of it to create doctrines of devils/lies against God the Father, Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost to deny the eternal power of Jesus’ atonement to forgive all sins permanently such as 1Jo 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Instead, the false teacher will lie and say it means that we have to keep confessing our sins to Lord Jesus or God the Father to keep being forgiven over and over again and not lose our salvation and/or fellowship with God, because we still sin and are sinners. You will not find one word in the New Covenant that teaches such lies. The false teacher is committing blasphemy in calling God the Father, Jesus God the Son, and the Holy Ghost the Spirit of Absolute truth liars:  Protection against false teachers: Eph 4:11-32.

However, the eternal truth is that scripture interprets, teaches, defends, proves, backs up and corrects by scriptures without error nor contradictions of any kind nor in any manner whatsoever:

We must look at 1 John 1: 9 to comprehend it within the whole context of Scripture to avoid misinterpretation of scripture, or make a doctrine of error out of one verse. I John 1;9 means exactly what it says: 1Jo 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.

John is not saying after we are saved, we still have a sin nature, are still sinners and we have to keep confessing our sins over and over again to stay saved/not lose fellowship with God like those under the Law of Moses. John is saying we can be confident if we have confessed that we are sinners believing in Christ our Saviour, He forgives us for ALL sins, not just some sins. Christ is all powerful Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent. Christ is not bound by time, although human beings are. However, by His power He forever destroys our sins, therefore we are forgiven and there is no need for God our Father to keep a record, for there no longer is one. The believer will never stand with the wicked in judgement. The believer will stand before Christ to give account of His work, to receive a reward or a beating, but the believer will never lose their salvation nor inheritance, for these are a gift of God through faith in Christ, and not by works.

John proves clearly in His doctrine that Christ's atonement forgives the believer of all sins past present and future by the power of Christ’s atonement. ALL sin is forgiven, our salvation is permanent, complete, has no expiration date: 1Jo 3:6 - Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jo 3:5 - And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1Jo 3:6 – Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jo 3:7 - Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Repentance is turning to God in belief after hearing the gospel. Afterwards this same repentance is not a one-time event but is evidenced in consistently choosing not to practice any sin, but to obey God publicly and privately in our character, conduct, manner of living and in our treatment of others out of love and trust in God: We have new natures, we love God evidencing it through our desire to consistently please and obey Him.

1Jo 3:8 - He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jo 3:9 - Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

John continues to confirm clearly the new birth is permanent, not temporary, cannot be lost, the believer cannot be inhabited by the devil: 1Jo 5:18 - We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

We know that no apostle/disciple including John knowing it is impossible for God to lie, would not ever contradict Jesus Christ whom God appointed Head of the church. John would never deny that the power of the one-time offering of the sinless sacrifice of the body and blood of Jesus Christ forever forgives believers of all sins and saves them that believe on His name forever. John would never deny the New Covenant:  Heb 8:12 - For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Therefore, dearly beloveds, let us look at this again; John agrees and clearly defends the fact that whosoever confesses, Rom 10:9-15, (covenants) is forgiven of all sins forever, and no record is kept of them nor remembered by God ever again. 1Jo 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This never means those who are forgiven can live sinful lives, or habitually practice sinning. There is an abundance of scripture that clearly teaches the believer how to live holy lives after salvation, and God boldly commands every believer-you, me, us:

1Pe 1:15 - But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

1Pe 1:16 - Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

God doesn’t call His people sinners He calls them saints (G40 hagios), children of God, the called-out ones, and many other endearments.

The New Covenant believer has a new nature because the old man with a natural old sin nature from birth is baptized into Christ's death and raised up or born from above again with a new nature, spirit, heart and mind that desires to please God: 1Co 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1Co 3:17 - If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 2Co 6:16 - And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of God:

Again, and again, holy brethren, we know that God through Christ completely forgives all who believe in Him of all sins past, present, and future, keeping no record of their sins for Christ's sake: Heb 10:17 - And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Heb 10:18 - Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Heb 10:26 - For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins…

Anyone after having understood the gospel message and who willfully refuses to believe it is damned: Mat 7:23

Rom 1:18-32.

The false teacher is a spiritual predator and spiritual poisoner, whose toxic lies are intended to turn people away from God and to be suspicious/doubtful of His faithfulness and power. They will try to use God’s warnings against apostasy, and the examples of those whom God destroyed to terrify the ignorant and gullible believer to think that authentic Christians can lose their salvation at any time. However, the mature believer knows this is impossible, because it is impossible for God to lie. God is absolute truth, and he keeps the believer from falling by His power: Jhn 10:28;

  Heb 5:9; Heb 9:12; 1Pe 1:5; Jde 1:20.

The mature believer knows/believes without doubt, rests securely in the eternal truth of the Word, that the resurrection is much more than a certain day and eternal life is not a thing. The resurrection and eternal life is Jesus Christ Himself: Jhn 10:28

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Jhn 11:25

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

The absolute eternal truth is that God’s warnings teach the boundaries of God that the Christian is empowered to never cross, do, nor teach to anyone that it is o.k. with God to do those things that He forbids. The gospel is absolute truth, God forbids anyone to add or take away from it. Wishy washy, touchy feely, warm and fuzzy come as you are do as you wish, God understands we are all sinners is not the gospel it is blasphemy.

Brothers and sisters God is not being cruel when he references wicked, evil people as children of the devil, impenitent unbelievers, dogs; ravening wolves, brute beasts, swine, liars, deceivers, haters of God, haters of all that is good, sorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, idolaters:1Ti 4:1 - Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

1Ti 4:2 - Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Again, saints (G40 hagios) God is not being cruel when He refers to  children of the devil pejoratively, He is instructing His people on the truth of their true evil corrupted nature although they can make themselves appear as sheep, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing:   2Co 11:14 - And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

2Co 11:15 - Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

The children of the devil remain impenitent by choice, no matter how long or how often they hear the gospel message they reject it. They should never be taken lightly. These wicked persons are coming to destroy the church:  Act 20:29. The scriptures tell all saints (G40 hagios), that He has given us the whole armor of God, to stand against the wiles of the devil. Why? Because we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Eph. 6:11-(See this whole chapter). Wiles means (G3180) methodical traveling over, i.e. travesty (trickery), lie in wait. Holy brothers and sisters we must understand that the devil is behind all demonic entities, and evil methods to trouble the saints (G40 hagios), and infiltrate amongst believers. The devil is the ruler, source, promoter, and evil power behind all of the demonic, and also evil, wicked persons sent to fight against the true church. The devil foments all and any manners of evils, persecutions, and hatred against the true church, and even against God Almighty. The devil plants his willing tares by stealth. God tells us in the parables of the tares that once planted, as the wheat grows, so do the tares. The tares grow in MALIGNITY AND EVIL. 2 Ti. 3:13. Once the tares are planted, they eventually emerge as EVIL AND WILL WAX WORSE AND WORSE: 2Ti 3:13 - But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

 THE impenitent evil person WILL AND DO PERVERT/TWIST THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD, THIS IS OFTEN THE FIRST PLACE THEY STRIKE: fruit: Mt. 7:17-20: 1. False teachers, heretics. 2 Peter 2:1-3;. Titus 3:10. 2. False prophets; Mt. 7:15; Mt. 24:11; 2 Peter 2:1-2; Rev. 16:13-15. 3. False Christs; Mt. 24: 24-26; Mark 13:21-23; 2Thess. 2:1-12. 4. False apostles, 2 Cor. 11:13-15. 5. False ministers, 2 Cor. 11:15. 6. False brethren 2 Cor. 11:26; Gal. 2:4-5. 7. False science 1 Ti. 6:20. Includes those who attempt to subvert the scriptures via comingling them with various forms of the mind sciences; and also, those who invent "sciences" that challenges the inerrancy of the HOLY Bible. The tares also pervert biological and natural science to overturn worldwide evidenced based observable, quantifiable, measurable, unchanging attributes that hold true across all forms of species including the human race from the beginning of time. 8. Mockers of God, and promoters of heresies, and the doctrines of devils. 1Ti. 4: 1-2. 9.Murders, slanderers, and persecutors of the righteous. That's right dear saints (G40 hagios), sitting right there amongst true Christians in a church near you, and even in your own, as well as among other places are tares. They hate God and they hate every single child of God:  Rom 1:18-32. Throwing them an ice cream social, passing out water to them on a hot day, trying to dialogue about common values, etc., will not make them love you, or turn to God. If they reject God, they certainly will reject His people as well. Jesus left us His example, He gave the gospel some men rejected it, some even wanted to kill him. He left such alone and went on to preach elsewhere.

 There are some who foolishly minimize, excuse and or ignore the emergence and evil activities of the tares, allowing them to go unchecked, rampaging, and ravishing in the church. This negligence allows them to even kill some and make many suffer in the church, allowing damage to the body as a whole, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Through being grounded in the absolute eternal whole of scripture we are not flying by the seat of our pants in dealing with tares, wicked people, children of the devil, nor are we intimidated or afraid: Phl 1:28 - And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

Jhn 15:18 - If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.:

1Jo 3:13 - Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

Jas 4:4 - Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

1Jo 2:15 - Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Phl 1:29 - For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; God is not passive in seeing His children persecuted by the wicked: 2Th 1:6 - Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

We love even our enemies, but God forbids that His people endorse evil, or allow the wicked to prey on the flock from within harming and tempting others to sin.

JESUS CHRIST IS GOD THE SON EQUAL WITH GOD THE FATHER.

God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Ghost, three EQUAL eternal inseparable utterly holy Persons in one God lives in us and will be in us forever.

Jhn 14:28 - Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

You will not find one word in the New Covenant that teaches such lies. The false teacher is committing blasphemy in calling God the Father, Jesus God the Son, and the Holy Ghost the Spirit of Absolute truth liars:  Protection against false teachers: Eph 4:11-32.

However, the eternal truth is that scripture interprets, teaches, defends, proves, backs up and corrects by scriptures without error nor contradictions of any kind nor in any manner whatsoever:

I John 1;9 means exactly what it says: 1Jo 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.

This never means those who are forgiven can live sinful lives, or habitually practice sinning. There is an abundance of scripture that clearly teaches the believer how to live holy lives after salvation, and God boldly commands every believer-you, me, us:

1Pe 1:15 - But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

1Pe 1:16 - Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

God doesn’t call His people sinners He calls them saints (G40 hagios), children of God, the called-out ones, and many other endearments.

The New Covenant believer has a new nature because the old man with a natural old sin nature from birth is baptized into Christ's death and raised up or born from above again with a new nature, spirit, heart and mind that desires to please God: 1Co 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1Co 3:17 - If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 2Co 6:16 - And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of God:

Again, and again, holy brethren, we know that God through Christ completely forgives all who believe in Him of all sins past, present, and future, keeping no record of their sins for Christ's sake: Heb 10:17 - And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Heb 10:18 - Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Heb 10:26 - For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins…

Anyone after having understood the gospel message and who willfully refuses to believe it is damned: Mat 7:23

Rom 1:18-32.

The false teacher is a spiritual predator and spiritual poisoner, whose toxic lies are intended to turn people away from God and to be suspicious/doubtful of His faithfulness and power. They will try to use God’s warnings against apostasy, and the examples of those whom God destroyed to terrify the ignorant and gullible believer to think that authentic Christians can lose their salvation at any time. However, the mature believer knows this is impossible, because it is impossible for God to lie. God is absolute truth, and he keeps the believer from falling by His power: Jhn 10:28;

  Heb 5:9; Heb 9:12; 1Pe 1:5; Jde 1:20.

The mature believer knows/believes without doubt and rests securely in the eternal truth of the Word, that the resurrection is much more than a certain day and eternal life is not a thing. The resurrection and eternal life is Jesus Christ Himself: Jhn 10:28

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Jhn 11:25

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

The absolute eternal truth is that God’s warnings teach the boundaries of God that the Christian is empowered to never cross, do, nor teach to anyone that it is o.k. with God to do those things that He forbids. The gospel is absolute truth, God forbids anyone to add or take away from it. Wishy washy, touchy feely, warm and fuzzy come as you are do as you wish, God understands we are all sinners is not the gospel it is blasphemy.

Brothers and sisters God is not being cruel when he references wicked, evil people as children of the devil, impenitent unbelievers, dogs; ravening wolves, brute beasts, swine, liars, deceivers, haters of God, haters of all that is good, sorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, idolaters:1Ti 4:1 - Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

1Ti 4:2 - Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Again, saints (G40 hagios) God is not being cruel when He refers to  children of the devil pejoratively, He is instructing His people on the truth of their true evil corrupted nature although they can make themselves appear as sheep, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing:   2Co 11:14 - And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

2Co 11:15 - Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

The children of the devil remain impenitent by choice, no matter how long or how often they hear the gospel message they reject it. They should never be taken lightly. These wicked persons are coming to destroy the church:  Act 20:29. The scriptures tell all saints (G40 hagios), that He has given us the whole armor of God, to stand against the wiles of the devil. Why? Because we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Eph. 6:11-(See this whole chapter). Wiles means (G3180) methodical traveling over, i.e. travesty (trickery), lie in wait. Holy brothers and sisters we must understand that the devil is behind all demonic entities, and evil methods to trouble the saints (G40 hagios), and infiltrate amongst believers. The devil is the ruler, source, promoter, and evil power behind all of the demonic, and also evil, wicked persons sent to fight against the true church. The devil foments all and any manners of evils, persecutions, and hatred against the true church, and even against God Almighty. The devil plants his willing tares by stealth. God tells us in the parables of the tares that once planted, as the wheat grows, so do the tares. The tares grow in MALIGNITY AND EVIL. 2 Ti. 3:13. Once the tares are planted, they eventually emerge as EVIL AND WILL WAX WORSE AND WORSE: 2Ti 3:13 - But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

 THE impenitent evil person WILL AND DO PERVERT/TWIST THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD, THIS IS OFTEN THE FIRST PLACE THEY STRIKE: fruit: Mt. 7:17-20: 1. False teachers, heretics. 2 Peter 2:1-3;. Titus 3:10. 2. False prophets; Mt. 7:15; Mt. 24:11; 2 Peter 2:1-2; Rev. 16:13-15. 3. False Christs; Mt. 24: 24-26; Mark 13:21-23; 2Thess. 2:1-12. 4. False apostles, 2 Cor. 11:13-15. 5. False ministers, 2 Cor. 11:15. 6. False brethren 2 Cor. 11:26; Gal. 2:4-5. 7. False science 1 Ti. 6:20. Includes those who attempt to subvert the scriptures via comingling them with various forms of the mind sciences; and also, those who invent "sciences" that challenges the inerrancy of the HOLY Bible. The tares also pervert biological and natural science to overturn worldwide evidenced based observable, quantifiable, measurable, unchanging attributes that hold true across all forms of species including the human race from the beginning of time. 8. Mockers of God, and promoters of heresies, and the doctrines of devils. 1Ti. 4: 1-2. 9.Murders, slanderers, and persecutors of the righteous. That's right dear saints (G40 hagios), sitting right there amongst true Christians in a church near you, and even in your own, as well as among other places are tares. They hate God and they hate every single child of God:  Rom 1:18-32. Throwing them an ice cream social, passing out water to them on a hot day, trying to dialogue about common values, etc., will not make them love you, or turn to God. If they reject God, they certainly will reject His people as well. Jesus left us His example, He gave the gospel some men rejected it, some even wanted to kill him. He left such alone and went on to preach elsewhere.

 There are some who foolishly minimize, excuse and or ignore the emergence and evil activities of the tares, allowing them to go unchecked, rampaging, and ravishing in the church. This negligence allows them to even kill some and make many suffer in the church, allowing damage to the body as a whole, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Through being grounded in the absolute eternal whole of scripture we are not flying by the seat of our pants in dealing with tares, wicked people, children of the devil, nor are we intimidated or afraid: Phl 1:28 - And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

Jhn 15:18 - If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.:

1Jo 3:13 - Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

Jas 4:4 - Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

1Jo 2:15 - Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Phl 1:29 - For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; God is not passive in seeing His children persecuted by the wicked: 2Th 1:6 - Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

We love even our enemies, but God forbids that His people endorse evil, or allow the wicked to prey on the flock from within harming and tempting others to sin.
