What is the Gospel? Why the Gospel?

What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Why the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

The Gospel or the “Good News,” its purpose and intent is provided us in Genesis 1-3; John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 2:8-9.

For brevity’s sake, the “Good News” concerning Jesus our Messiah begins “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10) as our Creation, matter constrained by Time and physics, is the result of an unfathomable rebellion that manifest in the Kingdom of Elohim; a rebellion initiated by a narcissistic, anointed, cherub angel (Ezekiel 28:11+); to make matters worse, one-third of Elohim’s cherished angelic creation followed the rebellious cherub angel in an angelic coup d’état (Revelation 12).

The Creation Narrative (Genesis 1) manifest in response to the angelic coup d’état this coup necessitating a repository for that Kingdom War apart from the Kingdom of Elohim where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Luke 10:18; Rev 21:27). Currently, Elohim is dealing with the Great War that rages through us (Ephesians 6) and around us as every human conflict, every war is rooted in the spiritual.

Elohim commissioned the Son, Jesus our Messiah (John 3:35) and Creator (Genesis 1; John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1), to procure elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashion those elements into matter that can be apprehended by life constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3). All that we see and perceive with the human eye, the human sensory capabilities, and all that we’re unable to see physically yet is constrained by physics/Time, these find their origin in the Spiritual Realm. This is why the Darwninist-Evolutionist, the Physicist, the Anthropologist, the Cosmologist, will never define origin of life or matter.

In Genesis 3, in response to the Heavenly coup d’état and Adam’s compromise with evil at the behest of his wife via Satan, Elohim draws-out a “battle plan” for us in Genesis 3:15-21. Elohim tells us that an anointed One will enter the Realm of Time via the virgin seed of the woman and do battle with the rebellious cherub angel we know as Satan or Lucifer and the Warrior will be victorious over Satan as crushing the head of the serpent while the serpent would bruise Messiah’s heal (Genesis 3:15).

Elohim’s divine battle strategy, the Gospel,

It is duly noted in the First Epistle of John that Messiah’s primary reason for entering the Realm of Time was “to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b). Elohim, immediately subsequent enacting a declaration of war against Satan in Genesis 3:15, provides humanity with a word picture of the divine “battle strategy” He would employ to defeat Satan at Golgotha; that is, Genesis 3:21 where Elohim, Himself, sheds innocent blood and clothes sinful Adam and Eve in an imputed “robe of righteousness” (2 Corinthians 5:21) while Elohim rejects Adam’s attempt to cover his own sin and shame by the works of his hands via fig leaves (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The Gospel made applicable in Time,

The entirety of Scripture, from Genesis 3 forward, is the eschatological plan of Elohim to introduce His Messiah into the World who would “destroy the works of the devil” via the Gospel, the “Good News of Victory” and offer the “spoils of war” to humanity via the redemption from sin provided through the Gospel of Grace; that is, Jesus Christ who entered the World via the virgin womb (Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23) and thereby circumvented the sin-nature of Adam’s genome and Jesus walked blamelessly before the Father, the Spirit, humanity, and Jesus shed His innocent blood as blood atonement for our sin, our rebellion, in accordance with the divine mandates of Leviticus 17:11 and through Messiah’s faithfulness He destroyed the works of the devil i.e. death, Hell, the grave while simultaneously providing a divine Path to eternal life with the Father by faith in Jesus as our Messiah (John 3; Matthew 26-28); essentially, the perfection and righteousness of Jesus is imputed-gifted into the life of the one who believes Jesus is Messiah who died for them; this, in exchange for our sin (2 Corinthians 5:21). This “great exchange” is the Gospel or “Good News” of Jesus Christ who conquered death, Hell, the grave, sin, for sinful humanity and freely offers us His perfection-righteousness imputed-gifted into our lives by faith in Him as Messiah and the Father agrees by New Covenant promise to declare us “not guilty” and welcome us into His Kingdom as children of Elohim (Hebrews 8:7).

In conclusion,

Therefore, the Gospel of Jesus our Messiah has manifest in Time as a battle strategy to destroy the works of the Devil as Elohim strives to maintain volitonal love with His cherished angelic creation that did not follow Satan in the angelic coup d’état ; in addition, as an example of Elohim’s selfless, unfathomable, divine love, the Gospel is a strategy of reconciliation between Elohim and sinful humanity whereby Elohim destroyed the works of Satan, death-Hell-the grave and offers humanity eternal reconciliation with Him by faith; this, further demonstrating to the faithful angelic creation the enteral benefits of obedience, sacrifice, holiness, purity, righteousness contrasted with the unsustainable attributes of narcissism, arrogance, self-righteousness. This 7000-years of contrasting the sustainability of holiness and righteousness v. defilement and disobedience will also act as an eternal bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom of Elohim, the New Jerusalem, as free will exists in the Kingdom by necessity.

Subtle Legalism kills the soul…

Religion - Christianity, , , , ,

An unassuming, deceived, legalist said:

1) God said, I will teach you to obey My Laws. Be ye

perfect because the Father is perfect.

2) God’s Laws stands fast for ever.

3) Obey that, grace will stop. Obedience to God’s law
will save us. Sinners can’t inherent the kingdom of God.

Discussion,

The legalistic statement above is the perfect example of the
Devil’s subtle deception in Judaism and religion in general as divine Truth is
commingled with demonic deception that deceives the soul into Hell via
self-righteousness via works.

First of all,

If perfection were attainable in the flesh, Jesus would not
have needed to suffer and die in our place as blood atonement for sin
(Galatians 2:21); therefore, Jesus entered Time via the virgin seed
circumventing the Adamic sin-nature and walked blamelessly before the Father as
the Spotless Lamb who takes away the sins of the World (John 1; 1 Peter
1:18-19; 1 John 2:1-2).

The only “perfection” humanity can attain in this
life constrained by Time, physics, flesh, is the perfection of Jesus
imputed-gifted into the life of the one who believes in Him as Messiah (2
Corinthians 5:21). This was first demonstrated for you in Genesis 3:21 but so
few listen and see and find life in what the Holy Spirit proclaims.

Second,

Elohim’s eternal law is the Spiritual Law or the “law
of the Spirit of life” (Romans 8:2; 2:14-15) that has been extant as
an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the angels and infused
within the human genome on Day-6 of Creation as Human Kind was created in the
spiritual image of Elohim possessing certain divine communicable attributes of
Elohim; this, for eschatological purposes going forward (Genesis 1:26-28).

Third, Grace is eternally relevant…

Grace will never be nullified as the very existence of
humanity and redemption from sin hinges upon grace (unmerited favor) from the
Father; this, both as an element of salvation and during daily sanctification.
Grace will be eternally relevant as free will remains eternally necessary,
essential, as foundational to authentic love and intimacy with our Creator.

Finally, Concerning Sinai-Torah-Moses,

Sinai-Torah-Moses are but mere, incomplete, fragments of
codification relevant to the eternal Spiritual Law and Sinai and Torah and
Moses are wholly incomplete, insufficient, inadequate, as instruments of
righteousness (a right standing) with the Father (Romans 3:20);
Sinai-Torah-Moses were given as elements of sanctification-eschatology
concerning Elohim’s efforts to thwart Israel’s compromise with Baal and Molech,
pagan compromise that nullified the Adamic and Noahic generations as
progenitors of the Messiah, the Gospel message, the Great Commission; these,
being essential eschatological elements concerning the “destruction of
the Devil’s works” via the Messiah (1 John 3:8b) via the Gospel that
was ordained as a divine battle strategy “before Time began“
(2 Timothy 1:8-10).

In closing,

The codified Law you worship, Sinai-Torah-Moses, were both
temporary and incomplete and are of no consequence concerning righteousness
with the Father or life in the New Jerusalem; Sinai-Torah-Moses were simply
eschatological roadmaps pointing to the need for Messiah Jesus by faith
(Galatians 3:24); therefore, it is high time that you leave the bygone Covenant
of Law (Hebrews 8:7) and find life in the New Covenant of Grace through faith
Jesus as your Messiah and the indwelling Holy Spirit as your obedience to the
Father’s will via the production of divine fruit (2 Corinthians 3; Galatians
5:16-23; Matthew 7:15-20).

Application of Law – Old Covenant v. New Covenant, a discussion…

Religion - Christianity, , , , ,
Understanding the differentiation, application, of Law that exists between the Old and New Covenants…

Premise,

Christians are NOT under the Law Covenant, Torah, Sinai, Moses, laws, rules, diets, days, etched in stone or scratched upon parchment (Romans 6:14; Romans 7:6). Christianity is the New Covenant; the application of the Law in the New Covenant is through the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:16; Ezekiel 36:27) via a redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) and the eternal spiritual law written upon the heart at conception, infused within the human genome on Day-6 (Romans 2:14-15; Hebrews 10:16; Ezekiel 11:19; Jeremiah 31:33).

Discussion,

The New Covenant was foreordained to be realized within the Realm of Time via the children of Israel and Messiah came to them, specifically (Matthew 15:24), to proselytize Jacob’s children in the Gospel, the New Covenant, the Great Commission, where a radically different application of Law from that of the Law Covenant would be realized through the indwelling Holy Spirit who would be given as the Seal and Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father through faith in the Son, the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

In the New Covenant, the law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15), infused within the human genome on Day-6 of creation, would be enlivened by the indwelling Holy Spirit and that eternal spiritual law would be made methodically applicable to the redeemed in Jesus through a redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) and through this spiritual catalyst of the enlivened spiritual law fused with the redeemed conscience (the new creation in Messiah), the indwelling Holy Spirit would produce “fruits of righteousness” (Galatians 5; Matthew 7:15-20) through the Christian and this fruit would fulfill the righteous mandates of all Law, that which was codified in stone at Sinai, scratched upon parchment by Moses and the eternal spiritual law infused within the human genome on Day-6.

The New Covenant and the Rock of Stumbling for the Jew and Israelite…

It is true that the New Covenant’s ordination was to manifest through Israel’s children as was the Great Commission and Jesus came to them specifically for that purpose (Matthew 15:24); unfortunately, tragically, Israel’s children rejected the Great Commission, Israel’s children rejected the New Covenant’s Gospel and its Messenger, the Messiah, Jesus Christ; therefore, due to the critical eschatological necessity for the New Covenant’s Gospel and its Messenger, the atonement for sin, the defeat of Satan at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b; Genesis 3:15), Elohim had no eschatological default other than delegating the New Covenant, the Gospel, the Great Commission, to the Gentile (Romans 11:25). The New Covenant and its Administrator, the Messiah, Yeshua, has become a stumbling block to the unbelieving Jew and Israelite who will ultimately perish in the “second death” due their absence of saving faith (Romans 9:33).

Israel’s children failed Elohim yet the imperative of Satan’s defeat at Golgotha through Messiah, the blood atonement for sin through the Messiah, MUST BE FULFILLED in order for all things to culminate in That Day, the Tribulation; the Millennial Kingdom; the Judgment of the Condemned; the destruction of the Earth and Heavens by fire; the purification of the Earth and the creation of the New Earth; the divine manifestation of the New Jerusalem.

Elohim will not be mocked nor will His eschatological purposes concerning the defeat of Satan, the destruction of the Devil’s works via Messiah at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b) via the Gospel and the reestablishment of order, peace, holiness, to His Kingdom be thwarted by a hard-hearted, obstinate, people who refuse to believe by faith that Yeshua is Messiah. Israel is welcome in the New Covenant but Torah and Sinai and Moses are simply eschatological roadmaps and NOT the destination (Galatians 3:24; 4:4). Yeshua is the Destination and only by faith in Yeshua as Messiah will Israel find life in the Kingdom, the New Jerusalem (John 14:6).

The New Covenant

Jeremiah 31:31–34

31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

Ezekiel 11

19 And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, 20 that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 21 But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will 4 bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord God.”

Ezekiel 36

24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

Conclusion,

Each of the articles defining the uniqueness of the New Covenant are fulfilled through Messiah’s Gospel, His blood atonement (Matthew 26:28) and its application in the life of the redeemed through faith in Jesus today; again, unfortunately, Israel disqualified itself from the New Covenant due unbelief (Romans 9-10-11; Matthew 23:37).

What Elohim foreordained for Israel was rejected by Israel’s children; therefore, the articles and promises of the New Covenant have been delegated to the Gentile until the fullness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom of Elohim (Romans 11:25). Jesus is the Door to this Kingdom (John 10:9) and he or she who enters therein by faith in Jesus as their Messiah will be saved from the “second death” in Hell (John 3; John 14:6; Revelation 20:11-15).

Seeking obedience to our Heavenly Father? Which path: Sinai or Golgotha?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , ,

Seeking obedience to Elohim the Father? Which path are you pursuing: Sinai or Golgotha?

Discussion,

If you desire to honor the Father through obedience you must FIRST believe in the Son whom He sent to provide you blood atonement (John 6:29). Intimate, personal, New Covenant relationship with the Father can only be established by “faith” in the Son, Jesus Christ, believing with a sincere heart that Jesus is Messiah who died to pay your sin-debt owed the Father, a sin-debt mandating sinless blood atonement, atonement you could never provide yourself (John 3; 1 Peter 1:18-19). It is by covenant promise to all who believe in the Son that they will receive the indwelling Holy Spirit who takes up residence within the redeemed in Jesus as the indwelling Holy Spirit is the Seal and Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14).

Second, if you desire to please the Father through obedience subsequent salvation by faith, you must walk by the indwelling Holy Spirit, daily, in New Covenant sanctification (Galatians 5:16) allowing the Spirit to employ your redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) and the spiritual law written upon your heart (Romans 2:14-15) to produce divine fruit through you that fulfills all law (Galatians 5:22-23).

Torah, Moses, Sinai, civil-ceremonial law, are members of a bygone, distant, covenant (Hebrews 8:7). Stop living in that which condemns you (Romans 3:20; Romans 8:1-11) and seek the Living Elohim’s Truth concerning grace and faith and peace and intimacy (Galatians 2:16); that is, the Gospel of Jesus Christ; Jesus our Messiah who provided you precious blood atonement at Golgotha (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 1:18-19) and welcomes you into the family of Elohim through the forgiveness of sin via New Covenant relationship, divine intimacy and peace, established by faith in Jesus as Messiah who died for you (Romans 5:1).

18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

Elohim’s Love – Conditional or Unconditional?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , ,

A response to those who insist that Elohim’s love is “unconditional.” (A premise posited in a religious debate forum)

Concerning “Creation” and Elohim’s love… (conditional or unconditional?)

1) Actually, ex nihilo is not accurate concerning the creation narrative though many theologians interpret same from the Scriptures. If one listens to the Holy Spirit, they will find that the Son, Jesus Christ (John 1, Hebrews 1, Colossians 1, Hebrews 11:3) was commissioned by the Father (John 3:35) to take elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashion those elements into matter; matter that can be apprehended by a life-form constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3). This was done in response to an unfathomable rebellion that manifested in the Kingdom of Elohim; the Realm of Time, the physical World, were created as a temporary repository for that rebellion while said rebellion, spiritual warfare, is partially constrained by Time and physics. A temporary physical realm created for a specific purpose, dealing with Satan’s rebellion, and that physical realm will ultimately be consumed by fire, purified, remolded, and provide a foundation for the eternal Kingdom, the New Jerusalem (2 Peter 3:3-13; Revelation 21).

Concerning the creation of the human genome and Elohim’s love (conditional or unconditional?)

2) Human Kind was created in the “spiritual image” of Elohim on Day-6 (Genesis 1:26-28) meaning that Elohim imparted certain divine communicable attributes into the unique human genome; this, for Elohim’s eschatological purposes going forward; primarily, this concerns Elohim’s objective “to destroy the works of the Devil” via the Messiah (1 John 3:8b) and humanity would play a strategic role in that eschatological plan.

Nothing beautiful about it but simply a creative necessity concerning the battle strategy called “the Gospel;” a divine battle strategy that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10; Genesis 3:15-21).

Jesus tells us that He observed His nemesis, Satan, extricated from the Kingdom in preparation for this war that rages around us and through us (Luke 10:18); therefore, we find Satan in Eden who initiates strife upon the Earth through his charismatic attributes (Genesis 3; Ezekiel 28:11+).

The Gospel and Elohim’s love (conditional or unconditional?)

3) Elohim has chosen to deal with Lucifer, the rebellion, through the Gospel and selfless love as demonstrated at Golgotha via Messiah; this, a divine battle strategy seeking to maintain volitional love and intimacy with His created faithful angels that did not ally with Lucifer in the rebellion; humanity is simply a unique pawn in that battle strategy and Elohim has shown grace and mercy to humanity through the Son but humanity is NOT a prized possession but is wicked and vile and unworthy (Genesis 6): therefore, Elohim’s grace and mercy is due His nature (1 John 4:7-21), not our worthiness and Elohim’s mercy is conditioned upon our choices relevant to whom we choose to serve, Jesus or Satan.

Angels (eternal creatures) – Humanity (the second death) and Elohim’s love (conditional or unconditional?)

4) The only reason Elohim has pursued the eschatological battle strategy of the Gospel is due the fact that angels were created to exist eternally, they do not die; therefore, the angelic rebellion mandated a unique battle strategy that only Elohim could construct; this, through Messiah and the Holy Spirit (Luke 20:36). This is why Satan and his angels will suffer eternally in Hell (Revelation 20:10) while unredeemed humanity will perish in the “second death” subsequent the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:11-15).

Salvation – free will and Elohim’s love (conditional or unconditional?)

5) Salvation is completely based upon “free will” as free will is essential for love and intimacy with our Creator to manifest with purity and authenticity; unless humanity and the angels possess the volition to choose to love Elohim, their actions, their relationship with Elohim, would be defined as robotic and therefore impotent concerning authentic love and relationship. Authentic love and intimacy in a reciprocal relationship cannot be realized via roboticism, fear, or coercion; true intimacy can only exist in an atmosphere of mutual respect and adoration which only manifests by a free will choice to engage in that relationship. Nothing beautiful or predestined or unconditional, about it…just basic logic.

Elohim’s love and humanity (conditional or unconditional?)

6) Elohim’s “love” is conditional. Humanity can “choose” to ally with Elohim through faith as part of Elohim’s eschatological plan to defeat Satan and the works of evil or humanity can ally with Satan and work against the defeat of Satan and the rebellious angels (demons), but there is very little “beautiful” about creation in Genesis 1-3 as the creation narrative was spiritually mandated for eschatological purposes going forward and the previous 6000-years of horror, suffering, death, manifest from the spiritual war that rages through us and around us is of necessity, not love for humanity but love for the faithful angelic creation that Elohim cherishes beyond human comprehension.

Elohim’s love expressed at Golgotha is primarily focused upon the defeat of Satan works (death-Hell-the grave) and protecting His divine, cherished, relationship with the faithful angelic creation;

Elohim’s mercy toward a hoard of unworthy, filthy, flesh-Hell bound creatures is conditioned upon the choice to serve Elohim by faith in Messiah or serve Satan through the rejection of Messiah; humanity is afforded an opportunity to take part in the spoils of war via faith in what our Warrior, Jesus Christ, has done as His primary objective was the defeat of Satan while maintaining volitional intimacy with the faithful angelic creation, we, humanity, are the byproducts of that eschatological plan and our eternal destiny is predicted upon choice; therefore, Elohim’s love is conditional and predicated upon what Human Kind “chooses” to do with Messiah Jesus.

A servant of Torah Law stated his preferred path to righteousness is the wisdom of Solomon, a discussion…

Religion - Christianity, , , ,

A servant of Torah Law stated his preferred path to righteousness (a right standing) with the Father via the words of Solomon,

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecc 12:13)

What is the divine Path to righteousness with the Father, Solomon or Jesus?

First of all, Law Keeping is NOT a path to righteousness with the Father (Romans 3:20); if one could find righteousness with the Father through Law Keeping, Jesus would not have needed to suffer and die for your sin (Galatians 2:21).

Second,

If one desires to honor the Father through obedience in the New Covenant; first, obey the Father and trust in Jesus as Messiah (John 3:16; 6:29) and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14); second, walk in the Spirit, daily, via sanctification (Galatians 5:16) thereby allowing the Spirit to produce “fruit” through you as it is the “fruit of the Spirit” that fulfills all law (Galatians 5).

A worshiper of Moses and Torah mocks the Christian by stating any attempt to validate the New Testament/New Covenant using the New Testament is “circular reasoning.” What is the Truth?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,

A worshiper of Moses and Torah mocks the Christian by stating any attempt to validate the New Testament/New Covenant using the New Testament is “circular reasoning.” What is the Truth?

Discussion,

The New Testament/the New Covenant is the fulfillment of Torah, the completion of the Old Testament’s intent; therefore, those dying in sin and headed to Hell in a religion that worships Moses and the Law or the demonic god “Allah” (Satan) and the Quran via the demon Muhammad, these could possibly be brought into the Light (John 8:12) by faith via an understanding that Moses, Torah, the Law Covenant, were simply a roadmap pointing to mankind’s need for Messiah, a divine Mediator, the Gospel, the New Covenant, but Torah was NEVER intended to be the destination (Hebrews 8:7; Galatians 3:24) and Islam is a religion stolen, plagiarized, from the Torah and servitude to Satan AKA Allah; therefore, Truth concerning eternal covenant with the Father is only found in the embodiment of Truth, Jesus Christ (John 14:6).

Concerning “circular reasoning” and the New Testament…

There are approximately 283-Old Testament quotations in the New Testament and in approximately 90 instances, these quotes are directly from the Septuagint; therefore, the New Covenant validates itself through direct fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy; this is NOT circular reasoning but eschatological fulfillment provided you via the Holy Spirit; therefore, arguing that the New Testament’s validation is circular reasoning is actually a logical fallacy.

Therefore,

The lost and deceived Jew, Israelite and Islamist, the cult member, the religionist, struggles with the clarity, beauty, the simplicity of the New Covenant’s Gospel, a New Covenant of divine grace actuated, initiated, by sincere faith in Jesus; the New Covenant established in the sinless, precious, blood of Messiah Jesus (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 1:18-19) and unless these perishing religionists rid themselves of demonic blindness, self righteousness, spiritual arrogance (2 Corinthians 4:4) and trust ONLY in Jesus as their Messiah, they will surely die in Hell via the “second death” (John 3; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Revelation 20:11-15).

There is a way that seems right to those too stubborn to consider, contemplate, Jesus as Messiah but their way is the way of death (Proverbs 14:12); therefore, humble yourself before our Heavenly Father and trust in the Son, Jesus Christ, receive the Holy Spirit and LIVE in peace with Elohim, forever, as there is no other Way (John 3, Ephesians 1:13-14; Romans 5:1; John 14:6).

Seeking to disparage true Christianity through the Cult of Catholicism…

Religion - Christianity, , , , , ,
One seeking to disparage Christianity said:

“Documented, ancient history has it where Christianity was legalized in Rome in 313 AD, which should tell those of you something!”

Is that true? A Roman Emperor named Constantine, desiring greater control over the masses in the Roman Empire, envisioned an opportunity to coalesce the people under the Edict of Milan (312-313AD); Constantine, wanting to make Christianity attractive to the masses, opted to merge Roman and Babylonian paganism with elements of Apocryphal doctrine sprinkled with Christian doctrine thereby forming the World’s 2nd-largest religious cult aptly named “Catholicism” – 2nd-only to Islam in its deception and death in Hell; this, no different than those who seek the Kingdom of God via the self-righteous religion of Judaism.

Catholicism has never been Christian but there does exist those who hate Christianity and choose to insult that which Christ initiated in His own blood by suggesting Catholicism is Christianity, Peter was a Pope. Your obfuscation only finds relevance with those who seek death in Hell through religious works and the rejection of Jesus Christ as Messiah.

The Work of the Devil exposed in San Francisco, USA

Liberal Ideology, Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The work of the Devil…

…in the daily life of those who serve the god of this World (2 Corinthians 4:4) – the demonically possessed and influenced, those who reject the selfless love of Jesus Christ and His Gospel…

I’m currently in the State of Satan’s pride, California, USA, having visited Satan’s dominion, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington. Those who are absent simple, abiding faith, mock the work of Jesus our Messiah during His 3.5-year Earthly ministry as Jesus went about healing the sick, exorcising the demon possessed; the natural World laughs at the thought of demons and demonic possession yet I walk among these demon-possessed here in San Francisco, on the sidewalks of Portland. I see their work in the rapidly decaying bodies lying prostrate on the sidewalks and curbs of the inner-city; the demonic substances injected into these addicted bodies; the resulting infected sores, scabs, physiological-psychological horror and torment and destruction accompanied by human excrement on the curbs, in the drains, on the sidewalks, the deck of public transportation; the horror, the horrific results of auditory hallucinations; the torment of demonic possession unrestrained; the self-destruction of suicide; the souls bound for Hades’ torments and Hell; all of this, the victory of the Evil One, Satan’s fodder.

I encounter these very same demons of deception and destruction during theological debate with unbelieving, Hell-bound, Jews-Israelites-Islamists-Mormons-SDA-Jehovah’s Witnesses-a myriad of cults-sects-religions who reject the purity, simplicity of the Gospel as these men, women, in a state of spiritual and physiological decay, clamor and fight against the purity, the simplicity, the holiness, of the Gospel of grace and faith, grace and faith earned for us, freely offered to us, through the suffering and selfless love of Jesus our Messiah at Golgotha.

Tragically, true Christianity will progressively be subject to increasing hatred and persecution as “Progressive Wokeness,” a work of the demonic, inundates our decaying World, a dying World devolving into demonic chaos and unconscionable filth; this, much like the days of Adam and Noah (Romans 1:18-32); therefore, know your enemy, know his works, stand fast defending the Gospel and hold tightly to Jesus Christ through obedience to the precious indwelling Holy Spirit.

Ultimately, the victory belongs to Jesus our Messiah; therefore, the only alternative to Jesus is defeat and subservience to the Devil and ultimately nihilism via the “second death” in Hell (Revelation 5:5). Endure to the end.

Jewish-Israeli Theological Error, death in Hell, concerning Ezekiel 18:20-23

Religion - Christianity, Uncategorized, , , , , , ,

Eternal Jewish-Israeli Theological Error: Does Ezekiel 18:20-23 nullify or negate the precepts of Christianity, the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Ezekiel 18,

20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

21 “But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22 None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. 23 Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord God, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?

Christian explanation to the Jew or Israelite who trusts Ezekiel 18 for salvation from death in Hell,

You are in error concerning Ezekiel and you are headed to death in Hell in your sin concerning your rejection of Jesus. Please allow this old “Christian” to explain…

In Ezekiel 18, the prophet speaks of those who repent and place their faith in Elohim as the One true Creator; this repentance accompanied by faith is the very same process that men and men, from Adam forward, exercised to find righteousness “a right standing” with Elohim; that is, by “grace through faith” (Hebrews 11).

From the Genesis forward, human kind has initiated righteousness or “a right standing” with the Father by faith, alone…this is true also for the New Covenant established in the blood of Jesus our Messiah (Matthew 26:28)…

SO THEN, WHAT DOES CHRISTIANITY OFFER THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE LAW COVENANT DOES NOT?

The New Covenant offers eternal LIFE in the New Jerusalem with Messiah Jesus, forever, while the Hebrew Scriptures offered righteousness by faith but provided NO FORM of acceptable atonement for sin (Leviticus 17:11); therefore, those in the Old Testament who died in righteousness with Elohim via faith could NOT enter the Kingdom due their sin that had not yet received the acceptable blood atonement (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 8-10), blood atonement provided ONLY by faith in Messiah Jesus at Golgotha (1 Peter 1:18-19; John 14:6); therefore, these Old Testament saints were interned spiritually in Sheol-Hades/Paradise awaiting the promised Messiah (Luke 16; Psalm 16:10).

The Holy Spirit teaches that while Messiah’s body lie in state in the tomb, Messiah Jesus was very busy preaching liberty to the Old Testament captives in Sheol-Hades/Paradise and ultimately redeemed them and escorted them into the Kingdom of Elohim, a Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to enter (Revelation 21:27), the Kingdom of Elohim where all who die in Jesus as Messiah are translated spiritually this very day (Ephesians 4:8-10; 2 Corinthians 5:8).

In conclusion,

Therefore, though the Holy Spirit via Ezekiel emphasizes salvation by faith, the message is incomplete as salvation, in the Hebrew Scriptures, was lacking acceptable atonement (Hebrews 8:7); therefore, Ezekiel does not nullify the superiority and necessity for Christianity, the Gospel, but Ezekiel simply articulates the foundation upon which Christianity is based; that is, salvation by grace through faith; this, while Christianity offers eternal life through Messiah Jesus’ atonement, something Ezekiel or Moses or the blood of animals or Torah could never provide (Hebrews 10).
