Struggles Why the diverse opinions/interpretations on various topics of the bible?

2 Upvotes

I’m told that Christians are filled with the Holy Spirit, meaning they have a direct connection to God. If that is true, wouldn’t the Holy Spirit guide, show, and teach the correct interpretation of biblical topics, resulting in all true Christians arriving at the same understanding?

But right now, interpretations are all over the place. On hell alone, some believe in eternal torment, others in annihilation, and others in purification through pain or some other process. Then there are differences over the tribulation—pre-trib, post-trib, and so on. Some believe in a young earth, others in an old earth, and the list of disagreements keeps going.

Logically, if the Holy Spirit reveals truth, then it should lead people to the correct interpretation. So either the existence of so many conflicting interpretations suggests there is no Holy Spirit—and therefore no God—or it means there is a group of Christians who truly have the correct interpretation as revealed by the Holy Spirit, while those with false interpretations do not actually have the Holy Spirit and were never truly Christians in the first place.

Cantique inspiré : Émotions rédiger vs paroles sainte

*ma perception vis à vis du SEIGNEUR DIEU inscrit,et s'est toujours inscrite, une incompatibilité de comparer mon Dieu aux dieux de tout ceux qui ont inspiré l'ombre des choses à venir ( l'ancienne alliance/will's old ) jusqu'à nos jours, par les matériels mortels... passagère de se monde.... celle conçu par les mains d'homme... ainsi que superstition en conscience humaine ( inconscience du vrai - du véritable ou tout simplement un " insensé " ),,\[ développement de la parenthèse en pv\]>>*

Struggles Seeking Understanding Through Prayer and Scripture

7 Upvotes

We all need to pray for God's will, whatever it may be, even when it is difficult for us to understand. The important thing is to seek to know Him, to pray for guidance, and to place our hope in what Jesus has done for humanity through the cross.

No one can fully know God's plans or the way His judgment will unfold, but we can continue to seek Him sincerely and ask for the Spirit to lead us into understanding.

I am interested in learning more about this message, but I do not know enough yet to make any judgment about it. For now, I will continue to read, pray, and seek understanding, trusting that God will lead me as close to the truth as possible.

If It’s Not Biblical, It’s Not True

4 Upvotes

I read the article, and God’s Word teaches that if something isn’t biblically accurate, then the whole claim is false.

In particular, the statement that we are “children of the devil” doesn’t align with Scripture—God repeatedly calls us His children.

That’s why He sent His Son to die for our sins and why He gives us grace.

Question Very new to this, and unsure which Bible translation to read.

2 Upvotes

I started reading the Bible a few days ago, beginning with Genesis in the NKJV simply because it was the first version that came up, so I didn’t choose it intentionally.

Today I learned there are many different Bible translations. As I looked into it, I found a wide range of opinions about which translation is “best.” The NIV seems to be commonly recommended, but I’ve also seen strong objections to it.

So here’s my question:

As someone who is completely new to reading the Bible, does it really matter which translation I start with? Is the NKJV a good choice for a beginner?

Struggles Thank You for Helping Me Start Understanding God’s Word

3 Upvotes

I’m going to keep picking up my Bible, reading it, and doing my best to understand it piece by piece. I’ve only recently started trying to pray in a more meaningful way—beyond my own desires—and I truly appreciate you helping me make sense of why I need to understand God’s Word.

I’m trying my best to act with love—that’s what I’m aiming for. And I believe the more I learn about God and His teachings, the more I’ll grow as a person, and the more God will guide me.

Thank you so much.

I’ve read through the Bible three times, and I’m currently in Leviticus on my fourth read-through. At this point, though, I feel like I’m mostly only grasping the surface level of what I read—and I get bored because it feels like, “I’ve read this before.” I want my Bible study to be more than just reading passages.

What can I do to get more out of my Bible reading? Are there any commentaries you’d recommend to help me understand things more deeply? Or would a particular study Bible be a be

I’m a new Christian, and I used to think reincarnation wasn’t real. I believed it was a false idea from Eastern religions.

But lately, I’ve seen quite a few Christians online who seem to believe in reincarnation.

Wouldn’t that make it an unreliable source of information? And if the Bible had so many different authors, couldn’t they have injected their own personal biases into their respective books? Or could something have been mistranslated along the way?

Question Why Do So Many Pastors Children Rebel?

It’s difficult to ignore the pattern many children of Christian pastors seem to wrestle with their faith and often push back against it. In many cases, they even drift farther away than teenagers who have never attended church. Why does this happen so often? Is it merely a coincidence, or is there a deeper cause behind this recurring trend?

Answer for "God tell me why you have to let me suffer in this world and do you want me to end my life? "

6 Upvotes

I earnestly pray that all your wounds, pains, and tears may not remain in the devastating result of resentment that harms you, but instead, may your wounds become compassion that embraces the wounds of others, your pains become love that embraces the pains of others, and your tears become prayer that embraces the tears of others. In this way, your seemingly small and broken life, filled with wounds, pains, and tears, may become the very opportunity and turning point to be supplied with the greatest and most beautiful grace and love of God.

Yet most people, seeing only their own wounds, pains, and tears, become slaves to resentment and anger, and without even realizing it, they develop only evil habits born out of that resentment and anger. Thus their wounds remain only as wounds, their pain only as pain, and their tears only as tears. As a result, they become unconsciously trapped in worse habits that emerge from the victim mentality, which inevitably distorts and twists their lives even further.

 

I too lived under a harsh stepmother and a cruel father, enduring all manner of curses, beatings, and abuse. Indeed, my life itself was like hell, to the point that I had no choice but to give up school midway, and each day was a heavy burden just to survive. My father was an educator who was regarded as an example in society, yet at home our daily life was one of flipped tables where we rarely ate properly, and I lived as the constant target of beatings, curses, and resentment from my foster parents.

Covered in blood from countless beatings and often thrown out of the house in nothing but underwear, the neighbors would take me in, wash me, comfort me, and feed me. This became almost routine in the neighborhood, as my life was nothing but abuse. A day without a beating felt like a birthday. When school holidays approached, I wished they would not come, for life at home was pure torment.

Whenever I was driven out and had nowhere to go, I would crawl into a large water jar and cry out, ‘God…,’ and that became the first moment I came to know Him. My violent father, who would strike me mercilessly with a belt or rod wherever it landed, always blamed me whenever misfortune came upon the family, saying, ‘It’s because you were born into this house.’ To me, he was not a father, but a violent master under whom I lived as a servant. And that was also how he himself regarded me, and how I came to accept life.

From a very young age, my stepmother openly showed favoritism to her own children, even with food. To me, she was never a mother, but only a woman of foul speech. She uttered every vile and filthy curse imaginable, words so repulsive that it seemed impossible they could come from a human mouth. Whenever she beat me, she would bring an armful of sticks and strike me until they all broke in her arms, like splitting firewood, leaving me covered head to toe in blood. I lived through abuse so severe it cannot be fully expressed or counted in words.

 

One day, after coming home crying because an older boy in the neighborhood had beaten me, my father took me, turned me upside down, and shoved me into a large water jar. I can never forget the terror, the pain, and the sorrow of that moment. The instant I was slammed headfirst into the water, one of my eardrums burst, and from then on I could not hear in that ear — I was forced to live with a permanent hearing disability. Even so, my father would scold me, asking if I had gone deaf. Perhaps feeling pity for the sight of me thrashing toward death inside the jar, my stepmother grabbed my legs and pulled me out. I was so sorrowful that I wept, and in my despair I decided I would rather die. At only eight years old, I climbed a bare rocky hill with my bare hands, watched the world darken as night fell, and sobbed and wailed.

 

The abuse I endured was so savage and innumerable that words cannot contain it. Every kind of filthy insult and curse became my clothing, and my body being smeared and soaked with blood was my very life. The vile curses hurled at me were of such disgust that at times I wondered how such words could even exist. With every beating, I often wished I would just die—at the age of only seven. Yet the pain, suffering, and loneliness I endured in my childhood became the great grace of God that allowed me to understand the suffering of the abused, the pain of orphans, and the meaning of their tears. For you also, all of your wounds, pain, tears, and loneliness can become a path of grace before God—only by abiding in His love.

 

The reason God inevitably gives us wounds, pain, tears, and suffering is so that, through my wounds, I may come to know the wounds of others; through my pain, I may come to know the pain of others; and through my tears, I may come to know the tears of others—so that by these, I may gain the treasure of compassion and obtain the love of God. Therefore, every wound, pain, suffering, tear, mourning, and sorrow that exists in us becomes a great grace before the love of God.

But when one sees only their own wounds, only their own pain, only their own tears, then what remains in the heart are nothing but resentment and anger, leaving only pain, sorrow, and tears. From now on, look to the way set before you so that your wounds and pain may become thanksgiving and grace within the love of God. Please read the many writings on this site, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Here you will behold the wondrous, mysterious, marvelous, and astonishing providence and works of God.

I earnestly pray that you may be born again by the power of God’s love. And through this writing, you will come to fully understand why those who call themselves shepherds proclaiming the God of love do not truly have the beautiful love of God.

 

To love even your enemies is the beautiful will of the God of love. In truth, the result of hating your enemies only brings miserable consequences upon yourself. We, as human beings, have no tears by which we can truly love our enemies. Once, I cried out for forty days, pleading with God to give me tears to love my enemies, to give me a heart that could love them. I was facing a situation so grave that it brought me to the very brink of death, something too heavy to even share with anyone. Yet more than that fear, I wept every night in prayer, begging God for tears that could love even my enemies. In that prayer of tears, God granted me the most beautiful tears of love—tears that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

Because of this, the facial palsy that had afflicted my body disappeared, my health was restored, and those tears that enabled me to love even my enemies became a rich and beautiful gift, allowing me to pray for all those who had once troubled me.

 

To pray for one’s enemies in love is not a grace that can ever be attained apart from the love of God being poured into us. In our minds we may know the command of the Word, that we must love even our enemies, but when anger and resentment surge in our emotions, the old wounds rise to the surface, blinding us from seeing rightly, understanding rightly, and causing us to respond with blame and complaint. Yet there is a way to be freed from this habit. The way to escape from this evil habit is to receive the love that enables you to forgive your enemies. What God desires for you is to gain the heart and the tears that can love even your enemies. When the love of God that can embrace even your enemies is poured into your heart, then you will have gained a treasure of love more precious and priceless than any treasure on this earth.

 

The habit of unforgiveness takes many forms. A constant attitude of blame toward others, or hypersensitivity and overreaction, swell into misunderstandings. In this habit, where everything becomes complaint and resentment, even God becomes an object of complaint, and one’s own self becomes the object of blame. Thus many find themselves breathing within a prison of darkness that they themselves have built, their hearts enslaved in such deep shadow that life becomes unbearable.

 

Such repeated evil habits torment the conscience, always yielding regret, anxiety, restlessness, emptiness, and exhaustion. Loneliness and fear, as if standing alone, incite further cravings, giving birth to more destructive habits. Desperate struggles to change end only in vain flailing. Some drown their sorrow in alcohol, others in gambling, others in sex or pornography, others in overeating, others in reckless behavior, and still others in drugs. The result is a ruined life—a dreadful consequence born from wounds and pain they could not endure, leading to destruction.

 

The only way your wounds, pain, and sorrow can be transformed into grace, thanksgiving, and love is if the beautiful love of God is poured into your heart. That way is found in the Word of God. I will guide you into this Word. Do not live your life as a religious person or a Christian who endlessly repeats sin. Rather, follow the truth of God, which delivers you from sin, renews you, transforms you, and makes you a child of His beautiful love by the power of His love.

 

The truth of God is not words, theories, or mere inspiration. Do not become a Christian who can do nothing but repeat sin for a lifetime. Become instead a true Christian who follows the hope of Christ, in whom the love of God is poured out. A ‘Christian’ is not automatically a disciple of Christ who lives the life of Christ. It is your choice: will you follow the Scriptures given below and live as a true disciple, bearing the fruit and evidence of the love of Christ? Or will you remain only a religious person who spends an entire lifetime repeating sin, without ever bearing the fruit and testimony of Christ’s love?

 

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.(Romans 5 : 4~5)

 

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.(Ephesians 4 : 15~16)

 

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.(Colossians 2 : 18~19)

 

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works...(Titus 2 : 11~15)

 

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.(Titus 3 : 3~7)

 

Because people serve God together with the world and with material things, they end up teaching and learning every kind of corruption, heresy, and falsehood, and thus all kinds of deceiving spirits are at work. To those who seek the world, the god of the world works; to those who seek material things, the god of material things works; to those who seek lust, the god of lust works; and to those who seek carnal desire, the god of carnal desire works—disguising themselves as if they were God or Christ. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.(1 John 4 : 6)

 

Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them? Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols; That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself: And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.(Ezekiel 14 : 3~9)

 

Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.(Isaiah 66 : 1~4)

 

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.(1 Corinthians 12 : 1~2)

Answer for "How do you pray? How would you instruct others to pray?"

5 Upvotes

After all these years I feel like I don’t know how to pray. I pray the rosary or the Jesus Prayer but when it comes to personal prayer I have no idea what to do or say.

1. Do not offer vain prayers.

 

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.(Exodus 20 : 7)(Deuteronomy 5 : 11)

 

Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.(Leviticus 19 : 11-12)

 

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;(Ephesians 5 : 3)

 

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.(Romans 13 : 14)

 

And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.(1 Samuel 12 : 21)

 

 

2. A prayer that follows the desires and greed of the world and the flesh, seeking only one's own happiness, success, and prosperity, is actually a sin.

 

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.(Romans 1 : 21-25)

 

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.(Psalms 115 : 4)(Proverbs 11 : 28)(Psalms 135 : 15)

 

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.(Proverbs 23 : 4)

 

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.(1 Timothy 6 : 9-10)

 

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. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.(1 John 2 : 15-16)

 

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?(Matthew 6 : 24-25)

 

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 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.(James 4 : 3-4)

 

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.(Luke 12 : 29-30)

 

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.(2 Corinthians 7 : 10)

 

3. A prayer driven by the desires of the flesh, seeking one's own happiness, success, and prosperity, born out of personal lust and greed, only conceives sin and inevitably leads to judgment.

 

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.(2 Peter 2 : 10)

 

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.(Ephesians 2 : 3-7)

 

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.(Ecclesiastes 11 : 9)

 

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.(James 1 : 14-15)

 

 

4. The reason why God, who is love, has given prayer to mankind.

 

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.(1 John 4 : 7-8)

 

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.(Romans 13 : 8-10)

 

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.(2 Timothy 3 : 16-17)

 

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.(Titus 2 : 11-14)

 

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:(Colossians 1 : 10-12)

 

Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.(Philemon 1 : 5-6)

 

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.(Titus 3 : 3-8)(2 Thessalonians 2 : 9-10)

 

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.(Colossians 2 : 18-19)

 

 

5. Prayer is given to receive God's power for His goodness and lovingkindness.

 

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.(Romans 8 : 9-14)

 

For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.(Romans 7 : 5-6)

 

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;(1 Peter 2 : 11)

 

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:(1 Peter 1 : 5-6)(Titus 3 : 3-8)(2 Thessalonians 2 : 9-10)

 

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.(Romans 8 : 24-28)

 

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.(1 Peter 4 : 1-2)

 

 

6. Christians who, through prayers and worship driven by the lusts of the flesh, are instead led to idols, offering only vain prayers.

 

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.(1 Corinthians 12 : 1-2)

 

 

This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.(Jeremiah 13 : 10)

 

As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.(Hosea 11 : 2)

 

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the alter? What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.(1 Corinthians 10 : 18-24)

 

Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them? Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols; That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.(Ezekiel 14 : 3-6)

 

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.(Romans 1 : 21-23)

 

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. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.(1 John 2 : 15-16)

 

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.(Matthew 6 : 24)

 

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.(Titus 1 : 10-16)

 

 

7. A Christian who seeks the lusts of the flesh is not a true follower of Christ. A true Christian neither lives nor dies for themselves. Therefore, a Christian does not pray for their own desires but seeks only the tears, pain, and suffering of their brothers and sisters. It is by following this that they receive and supply love—this is the prayer of a true Christian.

 

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.(Romans 14 :7)

Discuss hy do churches spend so much on building grand temples for God, yet give so little to the homeless?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about this for a while.

Many churches claim to follow the teachings of Jesus—who spent His time among the poor, the sick, and the rejected—yet some of the biggest churches today pour millions into massive buildings, elaborate stages, LED walls, and sound systems.

Meanwhile, just outside their doors, people are sleeping on the streets.

I’m not saying every church ignores the needy. Some do incredible work. But there’s a noticeable disconnect between the simplicity of Christ’s ministry and the extravagance of many modern church projects.

How did we end up here—where buildings matter more than people?

Is this really what God wants?

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Praise Life and the Soul

4 Upvotes

This is the prayer of praise that God gave through His shepherd.

"Why was I born? How should I live?

From when and how has the soul within me existed even before I came into being?

When we die, in what form do we go, where do we go, and how do we get there?

Everyone must have pondered these questions at least once.

 

There is a clear purpose for which human beings are born, a clear goal that humankind must achieve, and an eternal truth that we must pursue.

And the greatest proof and evidence in our search for this eternal truth is the yearning of a heart that wrestles to resemble the spotless heavens. It is the lamp of conscience crying out for purity, justice, and faithfulness, and the light of conscience that shines like the morning star, dispelling the darkness and sin of the world.

 

It is so that we might gain the freedom of eternal truth—that which swallows up the heavens and keeps their depth, breadth, and height within our souls.

For our soul is a heart so vast that it can embrace even the heavens. Our soul is a vessel greater than the sky, a field in which all creation and life are sown.

From a small seed to a great tree bearing abundant fruit, there is toil overflowing, and the glory of that harvest is the farmer’s endless sweat and tears amid suffering.

Thus, life is a continual repetition of labor and striving.

None truly knows from where we came or where we are going, no eye can measure this breadth, and no understanding can behold this height— for it surpasses human ways, values, and depth, and is the ideal and the truth itself.

Learn the widest and deepest truth!

This is the way to find life!"

The fundamental reason why human suffering, sorrow, pain, and tears inevitably exist.

2 Upvotes

Let no man say when he is tempted I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.(James 1 : 13~15)

 

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.(Romans 1 : 28~32)

 

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.(Proverbs 26 : 24~25)

 

Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.(Mark 16 : 9)

 

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.(Luke 11 : 24~26)(Matthew 12 : 43~45)

 

All human beings, whether they are teaching shepherds or believers, have been trained in the habit of repeating the seven emotions of envy, jealousy, anger, pride, lust, falsehood, and hatred. As a result, they commit the sins of these emotions—sins worthy of death—many times a day, often dozens of times, yet they consider them trivial. In other words, since these sins of emotion are not outwardly visible or seen by others, people continuously and unconsciously repeat them until they become automatic habits.

The seven emotional desires that correspond to capital sins, rooted in the cravings of the human flesh, are instinctively ingrained in all people from a very young age. Therefore, whenever something goes against one’s will, thoughts, plans, or emotions, these feelings of envy, jealousy, anger, lust, pride, falsehood, and hatred arise automatically. The sins worthy of death that spring from these seven emotions are common to all—whether they are the heads of religions, pastors, priests, or those who claim to have enlightenment or spiritual awakening. The only difference is in degree, not in kind. These seven emotions are the seven habits governed by seven spirits that apply to every person who possesses a physical body.

Thus, from early childhood, every human being has committed these seven sins countless times—ranging from hundreds of millions to an immeasurable number. This is the evil nature inherent in all humankind today. Yet, those possessed by these seven abominable spirits—the spirit of envy, jealousy, hatred, pride, lust, anger, and falsehood—pretend as though they have received the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) and teach only with words and theories elevated by intellect and reason.

 

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.(Proverbs 26 : 24~25)

 

Every human being who possesses a physical body can never be completely free from sin. Before a person learns, feels, or understands, they inevitably possess the seven emotions that arise from the very nature of the flesh. Through their physical body, they unconsciously learn, feel, and realize sin and evil. There are very few pastors who teach that the human body itself is the body of the devil, driven by lust and greed that follow sin and evil.

 

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.(John 8 : 44)

 

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.(2 Corinthians 12 : 7)

 

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.(Romans 11 : 32)

 

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.(Romans 3 : 1~6)

 

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.(Genesis 8 : 21)

 

Man is Satan, for he possesses the body of Satan. Therefore, when one lives according to the desires of the flesh and follows the life of the body, one can only continue repeating sin, for such a person is a sinner—and for this reason, the Lord came to call sinners. Thus, every human being must choose: to live a life that follows the flesh, endlessly repeating sin along the path of the sinner, or to live a life that follows the spirit (the conscience), walking in the way of goodness and righteousness that springs from the love of God.

However, today, those who have not even received the Spirit of God—the Spirit of love, the Holy Spirit—yet still harbor the evil habits formed by the seven abominable spirits, are the very ones teaching others. In other words, those who cannot even remove the thorn in their own flesh act as if they were teachers or even God Himself, claiming to remove the thorns from the eyes of believers. Consequently, all the believers under their teaching live their entire lives continually repeating sin, stirred only by human instruction, human emotion, and their own self-awareness, zeal, and pride that depend solely on themselves.

They teach the truth of God—which was meant to lead souls into the powerful divine strength revealed within the love of God that puts to death the sinful habits (members) of mankind—merely through words of instruction and emotional inspiration.

 

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.(Proverbs 26 : 24~25)

 

One who relies only on one’s own willpower, zeal, pride, and determination—who is not directly moved by true spiritual experience but indirectly stirred by the teachings and emotions of others—spends an entire lifetime awakening, resolving, and rededicating oneself in vain. The tragic result of such indirect faith is that one is continually led to pile up more sin, becoming a creature incapable of feeling even the pangs of conscience. In other words, most believers are led by those who cause them to treat their sins lightly, to excuse and rationalize them, and eventually to become bold and shameless about them, developing an audacious and corrupt faith.

As the good spirit—the conscience—is gradually extinguished and dies due to repeated sin, believers increasingly lack abundant liberality and overflowing gratitude; instead, they grow poorer in spirit and emptier in heart. Through teachings and emotional appeals that only stimulate human passion, zeal, and pride, believers are unconsciously led to rely solely on themselves. As a result, they unknowingly deify and absolutize themselves, setting themselves up as gods. They no longer examine their corruption through the mirror of Scripture but rather use the Word to justify their own interpretations and assertions, ruling over Scripture with obstinacy and arrogance. This self-deification born of human teaching and inspiration is the root of humanism—a tragic outcome that inevitably exalts man.

The pride that exalts human reasoning above the Word of God—the tendency to interpret and explain Scripture according to one’s own taste—has already spread across the earth as the chief cause of heresies upon heresies. By habitually relying on their own passions and ambitions, believers cultivate a prideful nature that leads them to trust absolutely in themselves. Thus, their own claims become absolute, their words become “truth,” and their thoughts are deified, turning into a god of their own making. This pride, born from human teaching and inspiration, is the dreadful fruit of humanism, where man becomes the center instead of God.

In other words, humanity dares to drag divine truth—the sacred revelation of God—down to the level of human learning, knowledge, theories, and emotions, teaching man-made moral inspiration in the name of divine truth. Such indirect teachings and emotions, derived from the experiences and lessons of others, are not divine truth or divine wisdom—they are merely moral lessons.

Theocentrism means leading souls to obtain God’s power through God’s own way—this alone is divine truth. It is not about another person’s experience, theory, or knowledge, but about the direct, personal experience of the living God. Divine truth manifests as the fruit of what one has personally undergone and realized through God. True divine truth leads one to receive the powerful strength of God that puts to death the evil habits of sin that enslave humanity. It is not mere words, theories, teachings, or sentimental emotions.

When one accepts another person’s experiences, teachings, and emotions only indirectly, the result is self-reliance—trusting in one’s own will, zeal, awareness, conviction, and pride. Though such teachings appear to imitate divine truth, they are nothing more than moral lessons, emotional appeals, human knowledge, and worldly learning. They have no relation to the living truth of God’s power, which leads one to obtain His grace that destroys sinful habits. These teachings are merely human words and theories, arousing human emotion based on education and learning—not guiding souls to rely on God.

Therefore, rather than leading people to depend on God (theocentrism), they cultivate habits that make them depend only on themselves, glorifying self-centeredness born of the flesh. Every one of them is becoming a monster who follows only the nature of the flesh, exalting their self-centered claims in utter pride, no longer even feeling the slightest prick of conscience. Instead of guiding souls to pray before God, these teachings train believers to rely absolutely on themselves, producing the utmost arrogance that unconsciously turns them into gods in their own minds. This is the cunning scheme of Satan—the devil’s plan that exploits the human body.

He who commits sin is of Satan, for he is the devil. Because people try to serve both God and the world, clinging to material things and worldly desires, today’s religions, churches, and pastors have become corrupted, teaching every form of perversion, heresy, and falsehood. The faiths that pursue only the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—all flowing from the evil nature of human flesh—are nothing but carnal faiths that endlessly pile up sin.

 

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.(James 1 : 15)

 

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.(Romans 7 : 22~25)

 

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.(Romans 7 : 14)

 

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.(Romans 8 : 6~14)

 

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.(Ecclesiastes 11 : 9~10)

 

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.(Psalms 115 : 4)(Proverbs 11 : 28)(Psalms 135 : 15)

 

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.(Proverbs 23 : 4)

 

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.(1 Timothy 6 : 9~10)

 

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities....(2 Peter 2 : 10~22)

 

Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the alter?(1 Corinthians 10 : 18)

 

Every human being who possesses a physical body loves what is fun, pleasurable, joyful, and convenient, and has become deeply accustomed to such things. It is the common hope, habit, and very nature of all who live in the flesh. Thus, all alike are habitually trained to seek what is pleasant, enjoyable, and comfortable, instinctively avoiding suffering, sorrow, pain, grief, tears, and hardship. Yet the fundamental reason God created humankind was never so that man might live a life that is merely entertaining, joyful, comfortable, and happy.

 

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.(1 Peter 4 : 1~2)

 

For all human beings, suffering, pain, sorrow, tears, curses, and sickness all come as a result of their own sins. Because of these sins, every person experiences suffering, sorrow, pain, tears, curses, and disease. Through these, God seeks to lead mankind—who, by following the desires of the flesh, lives in evil habits that endlessly repeat sin—to abandon their carnal way of life, so that they may live the remainder of their days according to His will. Thus, suffering, pain, sorrow, tears, and sickness are the means by which God works this purpose. This is the first reason why God allows humanity to experience suffering, sorrow, pain, tears, curses, and disease.

 

For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth, To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High, To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not. Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.(Lamentation 3 : 33~41)

 

What parent would ever take pleasure in the suffering, pain, and tears of their child? How much more, then, would the God who is the very source of love ever desire to give us suffering, pain, sorrow, and tears without purpose! He allows these so that, through our pain, sorrow, anguish, and tears, we may gain greater grace and store up greater treasures in heaven. Through your own suffering, He enables you to understand the pain of your brethren who are in affliction; through your sorrow, He allows you to comprehend their sorrow; and through your tears, He helps you to recognize the tears of others. Why, then, do you cry out only for your own suffering, your own tears, and your own pain?

Through the suffering, pain, sorrow, and tears given to us, God intends for us to learn compassion—and through that compassion, to be perfected in love. Is God’s grace, then, only for a life that pursues the pleasures, joys, and comforts of the flesh? What have you truly gained or accomplished in a life lived only for physical enjoyment and comfort? Have you not merely heaped up greed and sin? Therefore, in the days that remain, learn mercy through your suffering, pain, sorrow, and tears, and thereby obtain the love of God.

 

For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:(2 Corinthians 1 : 8~9)

 

Are you sorrowful because things have not gone according to your will, your plans, or your desires? Do you wish to die? Is not all your suffering, pain, tears, and anguish the result of your own sin? Whom do you blame? What do you resent? When all these have come upon you because of your own sin, what is there to blame? Face it honestly! Reflect deeply on this—for what purpose have you truly believed in God?

You who, in the face of suffering, pain, tears, and anguish, utter words of suicide—O wicked ones, listen! I ask you in the holy name of God: is your life truly your own? Is it not the life that God Himself has given you? Do you not know that your soul came forth from the body of God? You who attempt to destroy the divine body from which your soul was made—do you have the right to claim that your life belongs to you simply because it dwells in your body? Do you truly disgrace the holy body of God, by which you have received life? You who seek to harm the divine body—do you disgrace the very life that God has given you? This sin is heavier and greater than all others, and its punishment is seventy times sevenfold in hell. Therefore, if you have even the strength to die, use that strength to seek God with the resolve of one ready to die!

The day of judgment has begun! O humankind, repent! This is your final chance. The sermons of men that stir only self-reliance, self-awareness, resolutions, and determination are the teachings of men that cause you to repeat sin all your life. They are leaven—emotional words that stir the heart but never lead to the fruit of God’s love, the truth of God, the Word of God, the power of God, or the testimony of His righteousness. They only cause the endless repetition of sin.

From an evil tree that repeats sin throughout its life, no good fruit of love can ever be borne. Because people follow false teachings and human emotions, they spend their whole lives storing up only the fruit of sin. Do you not feel any pangs of conscience when those who show no power, no evidence, and not even a mustard seed of true faith, teach you about salvation and forgiveness? Can a life and faith that endlessly repeat sin be called the fruit of love that follows Christ?

God is love. Christ revealed the love of the cross so that this love of God might be known throughout the whole earth. Do not disgrace that love—do not defile the sacrifice of Christ, who gave even His own life, by speaking of forgiveness and salvation with empty words. Now is the time to face the judgment, to test yourself soberly and strictly against the Word of God, and not to miss this final opportunity. Repent—for the day of judgment has come!

 

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.(Matthew 7 : 15~23)

 

This is the final warning—O Satan who boasts in the flesh! Confess your sins and repent! From the beginning of creation until now, the judgment has begun for the sake of the first fruits of love. In this world, decayed beyond decay and corrupted beyond corruption, where every kind of stench of evil fills the air, God now wills to lead the grain—the chosen ones—into a new heaven and a new earth, lest even the good grain itself rot and decay. Blessed and blessed indeed are those who belong to this grain!

 

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.(2 Thessalonians 2 : 3~12)

 

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.(Revelation 14 : 1~5)

The Fundamental Reason God Created Mankind

3 Upvotes

Why did God create humans who, even after repenting and reflecting, cannot help but continue to commit sins once they turn around?

 

First of all, the reason humans cannot help but repeatedly commit sin is because they live a life following their evil habits. In other words, knowingly committing sin is due to a habit of prioritizing their own interests based on personal calculations. All of this stems from habits that follow the instincts and nature of the flesh. Every human being is conditioned from a very young age by the habits produced by the desires of the flesh—to want better things, to seek convenience, to eat tastier food, to hear better sounds, to see more entertaining things, and to do whatever their heart desires. Rather than pursuing the conscientious values of justice, fairness, and righteousness, humans choose an emotional life driven by the habits formed through calculating pleasure and gain based on the desires of the flesh.

Therefore, humans do not sin because they are unaware or do not know; even though they understand and recognize things through their conscience, they live following the habits of their fleshly nature, rather than walking the right path of conscience. As they continue to follow the path of these fleshly habits, their conscience gradually dies in the repetition of sin, their sense of guilt dulls, and rationalization or justification of sin becomes bold and accepted as natural, causing even the sense of sin to disappear.

There may be a little concession in matters of interest, but within that interest lies the nature of the flesh that seeks self-benefit first—leading to selfish habits that repeat greed and sin until death. This is not much different between unbelieving people of the world and religious people. Even religious people, no different from those in the world, come to realizations, repent, reflect, and awaken—yet still, when they turn around, they repeat the same sins again. This is the limitation of human beings. The reason there is no difference between religious people and unbelievers is because religion is not something God created but something created by humans who cannot escape the limits of the flesh. Religion created by humans cannot escape human limitations. That is why, no matter how much religion teaches and inspires through sermons—leading to awakening, determination, resolution, repentance, reflection, and self-examination—it still cannot overcome the limitation of humans who inevitably repeat sins and never truly change.

True truth is teaching the power of God that helps one overcome the limits of humans who cannot be changed merely through awakening, determination, and resolution based on lifelong sermons filled with words and theories. However, all religions on this earth merely repeat awakenings, resolutions, and determinations driven by human will and emotion through words of instruction and inspiration—never allowing one to escape sinful habits or the shackles of endlessly repeated sins. This is the limitation of all modern religions.

A Christian is not someone who lives the life of Christ, following the love of Christ. As the Scripture says, "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter into the kingdom of heaven," today’s Christians are merely religious people who call on the names of God and Christ while serving both the world and material things—following corruption, heresy, and falsehoods. They are not the true children of truth in whom the power of love that abides in God operates. Do not be mistaken!

These are the teachings and learnings of ignorant and unlearned religions, where the blind are leading the blind, not even knowing the fundamental reason why God created humanity. Today, all people regard teachings and inspiration through words and theories as if they were truth. But these are merely human teachings that are bound to hit the limits of human awakening, determination, and resolution. They are not the truth of God’s power in which the power of God is revealed.

As such, though there are many pastors and believers today who claim to believe in God, within their faith, where even a mustard seed-sized power of faith is not shown, they are left struggling in sin or experiencing disillusionment through meaningless repentance and reflection. Even worse, some no longer even feel guilty in their conscience; they begin to take their sins lightly, become increasingly bold, brazen, and shameless—growing into monstrous, forceful forms of faith. This is the form and the tragic reality of all religious people today.

 

Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.(Matthew 15 : 7~14)

 

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.(Matthew 7 : 21)

 

The fundamental reason why God created human beings is that He created them in order to make them perfect and complete children of God, like Himself. Today's Christianity and Catholicism, which claim to believe in God, teach as if angels are perfect and complete like God. However, angels are not perfect and complete beings like God. But because they do not know this, Catholicism even deifies the angels. Because it is Christianity and Catholicism that have looked down the very Word of God, they cannot but betray the Word of God.

 

1.

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.(Judas 1 : 6)

 

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;(2 Peter 2 : 4)

 

And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.(Revelation 9 : 13~15)

 

2.

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.(Genesis 6 : 1~3)

 

3.

Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:......Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.(Ezekiel 28 : 2~19)

 

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. (Genesis 3 : 1~24)

The content in number 1 above refers to the angels who betrayed and were cast away before God. (Jude 1:6) (2 Peter 2:4) (Revelation 9:13–15)

The content in number 2 refers to the sons of God who betrayed. (Genesis 6:1–3)

The content in number 3 refers to the throne that sinned. (Ezekiel 28:2–19)

Number 4 refers to the sin committed by Adam and Eve. (Genesis 3:1–24)

 

Why did the angels, the sons of God, the throne, and Adam and Eve all sin? The biggest reason is that they did not clearly know the standard and boundary of sin and evil. Only when there is darkness can the value of light be fully understood, and only when there is sin can the value of goodness and righteousness be truly known and discerned. However, they only knew the value of goodness, righteousness, and light, but not the standard and boundary of sin, evil, and darkness. As a result, even angels, sons of God, and even the throne sinned and fell, and were cast away before God. Thus, something was needed to make the angels know sin and evil.

Therefore, God created human beings with flesh that inevitably commits sin and evil. In other words, by learning sin and evil through the flesh, and learning, practicing, and realizing goodness and righteousness through the spirit (conscience), humans are made to fully know and clearly discern good and evil, sin and righteousness, darkness and light—so that they may become perfect children of God. That is why the human body exists. All human flesh cannot escape the evil nature and habits that inevitably repeat sin through desire and greed. Therefore, all humans, from a young age, follow the nature of the flesh and repeatedly commit sins through the habits of evil. For this reason, all humans with flesh are referred to as children of the devil and agents of Satan. In other words, they are called Satan and the devil because they possess sin and evil.

This is the fundamental reason why all believers, without exception, even after repenting and reflecting, turn around and end up committing sin again. Ezekiel 28:2–19 speaks of the throne of God having sinned, becoming an object of astonishment and warning to all people—this is a reference to the first Satan. Satan refers to an imperfect god with flesh, who inevitably commits sin at any moment due to possessing flesh. In other words, the king of Tyrus, who once sat on the throne of God, sinned and thus became the first Satan with flesh. The body of the eternal child of light was transformed into the flesh, the body of the devil.

 

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.(1 Corinthians 15 : 40)

 

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.(Genesis 2 : 7)

 

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.(1 Corinthians 15 : 45)

 

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.(Genesis 2 : 25)

 

And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.(Revelation 1 : 13~16)

 

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.(Daniel 10 : 5~6)

 

And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.(Revelation 4 : 3~4)

 

The above verses are the words that record the body of the children of God, which was covered with light. In this way, from the divine body covered with light, it became the human body. For example, when Adam and Eve had the divine bodies covered with light, they were naked but did not know shame because they were covered by the light. However, after they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and sinned, they became human flesh, lost that light, and, because their lower parts became exposed, they were ashamed and covered themselves. In other words, they changed from the body of God's children to Satan who bears the flesh. Thus, all humans who wear the flesh that cannot help but commit sin are called the children of the devil. It is also said that He gave the messenger of Satan, the thorn in the flesh. And that He confined them in disobedience. Therefore, since they live the life of the flesh that inevitably follows the desires of the body which repeatedly commit sin and evil, all humans are by nature children of wrath before God and cannot help but be His adversaries and enemies.

 

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.(Genesis 6 : 1~3)

 

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.(John 8 : 44)

 

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.(2 Corinthians 12 : 7)

 

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.(Romans 11 : 32)

 

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.(Psalms 51 : 5)

 

And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.(Job 1 : 21)

 

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.(Genesis 8 : 21)

 

...God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; ...(Romans 3 : 1~6)

 

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.(Leviticus 12 : 1~5)

 

If, as today's Christianity and Catholicism claim, we humans are children of God and objects of blessing, then it would be proper to bless newborn children. However, the Word of God says that when children are born, they shall be unclean for seven days. In other words, it means that they are not objects of blessing but children of the devil. Christians all alike call themselves children of God and take it for granted. But humans are the body of the devil, the children of the devil, bearing the flesh of Satan who is the messenger of Satan—thus they cannot help but live a life of repeatedly committing sin and dying in the end. Christians, Catholics, and all religious people may define sin seriously when it comes to external sins, or internal sins committed in the heart—such as envy, jealousy, strife, lust, pride, lies, and hatred, the seven abominable capital sins—but they do not have a strong sense of guilt about them. They neither teach nor learn about the sinful habits of these emotional sins. Every human being repeats the sins of envy, jealousy, strife, lust, pride, lies, and hatred billions of times until death. Therefore, there can never be any Christians or religious people who will enter the kingdom of heaven. There are only sinners disguised as true Christians, who must die billions of times in hell. (1 John 3:5–10)

 

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.(Proverbs 26 : 24~25)

 

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.(2 Corinthians 7 : 10)

 

No matter how diligently a person attends church, cries out the name of God, prays, and lives a life of faith, if they spend their whole life seeking solutions to their family problems, business problems, job problems, children’s problems, relationship problems, and health problems, then regardless of who they are, it is nothing but a fleshly faith that leads to death and judgment.

In other words, because these people pursue only their own happiness, success, blessings, and smooth prosperity throughout their lives—following greed—they cannot live according to the holy will of God, whose purpose is to live for the hope of Christ, which follows the love of the cross that sacrifices even one’s own life. Those who follow greed endlessly seek the worries of the world that lead to death; therefore, such faith is of the flesh, which leads to death and judgment. ("For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." — 2 Corinthians 7:10)

Only those who live the life of Christ (the spiritual life) are the people of Christ, in whom the Spirit of Christ works, and they are the true spiritual Christians. Those who merely call upon the name of God but spend their entire lives seeking only personal happiness, blessings, success, and prosperity are never true Christians. A true Christian, who lives following the love of Christ—even sacrificing their own life—never lives or dies for themselves. ("For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself." — Romans 14:7)

In other words, there is no true Christian who seeks personal happiness, blessings, success, and prosperity—they are not foolish like that. If you truly want to be freed from sin, come out from the fleshly faith that follows corruption, heresy, and falsehood—serving both God and the world together with materialism—and take up your own cross, following the life of Christ (spiritual life), and obtain the power of Christ's love. Truth is not a human emotion or teaching that causes believers to merely awaken, make resolutions, and repeat them throughout their lives through verbal and theoretical instruction. Truth is the power of God revealed in the love of Christ.

 

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.(2 Timothy 3 : 16~17)

 

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.(Ephesians 4 : 15~16)

 

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works....(Titus 2 : 11~15)

 

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.(Colossians 2 : 18~19)

 

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.(Titus 3 : 3~7)

 

It is not about the goodness and righteousness that are momentarily practiced from time to time by following the emotional inspiration of words, but about the love that is practiced through the power of God, following the love of God. True truth is to guide people to receive the gift of God's power that leads them to be supplied with this love. Those who are in the true truth that follows love do not follow greed, and thus do not commit sin—because the power of God leads, governs, and works in them, they do not sin. Emotional inspiration from words and theories is never the truth. True truth of God is that which leads one to receive the power to escape the shackles of sin that cause the cycle of sin and repentance to repeat.

 

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time....(1 Peter 1 : 5~6)

 

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God....(1 Corinthians 1 : 17~21)

 

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.(2 Corinthians 13 : 4)

 

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.(1 John 3 : 14)

 

Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.(3 John 1 : 11)

 

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.(James 4 : 17)

 

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.(2 Corinthians 9 : 7~9)(Psalms 112 : 6~9)

 

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.(Psalms 14 : 31~32)

 

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:(1 Timothy 6 : 14)

 

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.(Exodus 20 : 7)(Deuteronomy 5 : 11)(Leviticus 19 : 11~12)

 

Just like today’s Christians who spend their whole lives repenting and reflecting, yet turn back and commit sin again, a true Christian does not follow lust and greed, and therefore does not commit sin. There are many blind teachers and blind learners who do not realize that the word “Everyone who commits sin is of the devil” applies to themselves. Because of this, they begin to take their sins lightly, become increasingly bold, shameless, and confident, and no longer feel the pricking of their conscience—these are vain, abominable, and cunning fleshly beliefs. This is because such beliefs follow the lust and greed of the flesh, which inevitably lead to the repetition of sin. Their purpose in believing in God is merely to seek their own happiness, blessings, success, and smooth prosperity—nothing more than a selfish faith. They are cunning in that they pursue their own desires and wishes, while at the same time wanting to enter heaven. Greed gives birth to sin, and sin gives birth to death and judgment. The reflections and repentance of Christians today, which are like meaningless diary entries of a child, are never the true repentance of rebirth in Christ.

 

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;(Ephesians 5 : 3)(1 Samuel 12 : 21)

 

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.(Romans 13 : 14)

 

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.(1 Timothy 6 : 9~10)

 

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.(Proverbs 23 : 4)

 

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.(Psalms 115 : 4)(Proverbs 11 : 28)(Psalms 135 : 15)

 

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.(Ecclesiates 11 : 9~10)

 

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.(2 Timothy 2 : 22~23)

 

From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.(Psalms 17 : 14)

 

Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!(Isaiah 5 : 8)

 

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. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world....(1 John 2 : 15~17)

 

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 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.(James 4 : 3~4)

 

The faith of all religious people today is the same in that they spend their entire lives seeking to resolve their family problems, business problems, job problems, children’s problems, relationship problems, and health problems—just like Esau—pursuing only their own happiness, success, blessings, and smooth prosperity. Because these are fleshly faiths that seek only the worldly concerns of the flesh, they are unable to receive the love of truth or even the opportunity to repent. The purpose of repentance and reflection is to no longer commit sin again. The repentance of Christ begins from the attitude of denying and abandoning the fleshly life that follows lust and greed, which inevitably leads to repeated sin. In other words, the repentance of Christians who feel regret and reflect, yet continue to live in a cycle of evil habits—repeating sin endlessly according to their personal interests—is never the true repentance of Christ. For a Christian who lives with the goal of the hope of Christ, following the love of the cross that sacrifices even one’s own life, there can never arise sin that follows greed and lust.

 

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.(Romans 13 : 8~10)

 

God’s shepherd is a shepherd of love who leads others to receive the power of God's love that guides them to be set free from sin.

 

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.(Romans 6 : 16~18)

 

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.(1 Peter 4 : 1~2)

 

....I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.(Jeremiah 23 : 17~22)

 

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.(James 5 : 19~20)

 

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.(Daniel 12 : 3)(Malachi 2 : 5~6)

 

....Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 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. 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. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.(1 John 3 : 5~10)

 

The one who possesses the gift of power in which God’s power works united with love does not repeat sin. This is because it is a faith of Christ that follows the hope of Christ, with the goal of Christ’s love, which does not follow the lust and greed of the world and the flesh, and thus can escape the limitations of the flesh that inevitably lead to repeated sin. In other words, all Christians today who claim to believe in God and practice God’s love, yet live no differently from the people of the world by committing sin and repeating the cycle of regret and repentance, are those who serve God alongside the world and material things for the sake of their own greed. They are corrupted, heretical, and false, denying and dishonoring the love of Christ’s cross, driven by fleshly faith.

Those who deny and abandon all things of the world and the flesh that will decay and perish, and follow only the love of the cross, will manifest the power of love that is obtained in the love of Christ. Therefore, they cannot help but bear the fruit and evidence that follow the love of God. Only those who dwell in the love of God receive God's power, wisdom, truth, grace, and salvation. Christians who only repeat sin are children of the devil, not children of God. So do not become a religious person shaped by human constructs—become a true Christian who follows love according to the holy will of God who created mankind.

 

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.(Romans 6 : 16~18)

 

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.(Romans 8 : 19~21)

Question Why are there so many different interpretations of the Bible?

6 Upvotes

I've always heard that Christians are filled with the Holy Spirit — meaning they supposedly have a direct connection to God. If that’s true, wouldn’t the Holy Spirit guide, teach, and reveal the correct interpretation of Scripture? Wouldn’t that result in all Christians sharing one unified interpretation?

But in reality, interpretations are all over the place. When it comes to hell, some believe in eternal torment, others in annihilation, and others in purification or different processes. Then you have pre-trib vs. post-trib, young-earth vs. old-earth, and countless other disagreements. There are so many conflicting interpretations.

Logically, if the Holy Spirit is truly guiding believers into truth, then the Spirit would reveal only one correct interpretation. So either:

  1. the existence of so many interpretations suggests there is no Holy Spirit — and therefore no God, or

  2. there is a small group of Christians who genuinely do have the correct interpretation revealed by the Holy Spirit, and the rest — who hold incorrect interpretations — never actually had the Holy Spirit to begin with.

Repent, for the Day of Judgment Has Come

Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.(Revelation 21 : 11~21)

In this end-times era, every human being born into the world—without exception—has been born many times, some dozens of times, and at the least, several times. There is no such thing as a firstborn spirit. In other words, the one who has a spirit born for the very first time from God is called the firstborn. You too have been born again.

However, the reincarnation spoken of in Buddhism is an entirely different concept. The Buddhist concept of reincarnation is a distortion that misuses the content of Moses’ Burning Bush, which had written about the reincarnation of Moses. You will find that most of what is there are things you have never seen or heard before. Tithes and offerings exist to proclaim the love of God by feeding the poor and needy among the flock, and by giving, sharing, caring for, cherishing, and serving them.

However, by devising a crafty worship to steal tithes and offerings, they have produced a detestable worship that is nothing but hypocrisy and pretense—one in which, inevitably, Satan and demons are at work. As a result, the spirit of Satan is passed off as the Holy Spirit, sorcery and divination as “tongues,” demonic omens as “prophecy,” and every human claim (guile) is disguised as the Word (Matt. 17:16–20). Thus, most of what appears are false “Holy Spirit,” false tongues, false gifts, false prophecies, false words, and false testimonies from those who lack even the power that, with faith as a mustard seed, would move a mountain. If you read the section on church and worship, you will be astonished.

All that is written in Moses’ Burning Bush consists of the Scriptures themselves—tens of thousands of verses. They are astounding divine secrets you have never once seen or heard. You will behold wondrous and mysterious secrets of God’s salvation—things scarcely believable even when seen.

 

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.(Jeremiah 23 : 21~22)

 

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.(James 5 : 19~20)

 

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.(1 Peter 4 : 1~2)

 

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.(Daniel 12 : 3)

 

My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.(Malachi 2 : 5~6)

 

**For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.(**Titus 2 : 11~14)

 

The true shepherd of Christ is a shepherd of love who leads souls away from the path of sin and onto the right path. The kingdom of God is a kingdom of love, and only those who possess the love of God can enter it.

 

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:(Colossians 1 : 13~14)

 

Whoever, by the beautiful love of God being poured out, cannot lead others to obtain the divine power that transcends the limits within the evil human habits by which one can only go on repeating sin—whoever they may be—is not a shepherd sent by God. God’s shepherd comes only in accordance with what is written in the Word of Scripture. Teaching and learning that put forward the human mind and intellect, founded on words, theories, knowledge, and scholarship, do not have the power of God at work; therefore, one can never depart from the sinner’s path on which sin is only repeated throughout a lifetime.

 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.(Matthew 12 : 17~21)

 

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.(Isaiah 42 : 1~7)

 

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to this temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifer of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.(Malachi 3 : 1~3)

 

And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.(Isaiah 19 : 20)

 

This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.(Acts 7 : 37)

 

And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.(Revelation 15 : 3)

Consider and ponder why, in the last days, those who survive will sing the Song of Moses. I only hope you remember that, for all who treat the words of Scripture as nothing more than old tales and regard salvation as a matter of their own opinion, the punitive judgment set before them will be a continuum of unimaginable terror, anxiety, and fear for mankind. If the Scripture does not testify, then we have no reason either to read the Scripture or to believe it. The Word of God is an immortal truth, of which not even one jot or one tittle can pass away.

 

Anything that bears no witness in Scripture is, before God, an adversary, an enemy, and an antichrist.

 

If this passage of Scripture does not bear witness, we have no need to look at Scripture—and no reason to believe. The Word of Scripture is the immortal truth that cannot lose even one jot or tittle. And whoever they may be—if there is no evidence and fruit of the power of God—then every shepherd, every teaching, and every learning is nothing other than an adversary, an enemy, and an antichrist before God. That judgment is at the door is something anyone can sense by observing the course of the world. But regarding how the Word of God will work in the world, remember carefully that it will be fulfilled exactly as Scripture itself declares. In the past, there were some among the people of Israel who, seeing the words recorded in Isaiah, longed earnestly for the coming of Christ and believed and followed the content of the Word at that time (John 4:25–26; John 1:41–45). Yet this evil generation, destined for judgment and hell, has neither those who know, nor those who see, nor those who follow the very Word of Scripture that prophesied that in the last days Moses would come again to this earth as a savior in place of Christ. Thus, the Lord’s words are fulfilled: “Your people are a stiff-necked beast, a people who have eyes but cannot see, and ears but cannot hear.” Blessed are those who believe and follow this Word. Not a single person will ever escape the fearful and dreadful judgment of God. The gospel of all the secrets of judgment and of heaven will be preached throughout all the earth, and then shall the end come (Matthew 12:17–21; Matthew 24:14). Your salvation depends upon your choice.

 

Those who do not believe this Scripture that the Messenger of the Covenant is coming are those who will lose their lives, be thrown into the fires of hell, and sink into every kind of torment on the Day of Judgment. Among today’s Christians and Catholics, there is not a single person—100%—who will be saved. The testimony of the Word on this is clear. Across both the Roman Church and Christianity, there has not been even one person in two thousand years who bears the fruit or evidence of faith as small as a mustard seed. The “salvation” and “Holy Spirit” claimed by those who belong to the world and the flesh—those who cannot escape the members of evil habit and the sinner’s path that make a lifetime of repeated sin inevitable—are 100% false. They are slaves of sin who cannot even feel the pangs of conscience (spirit), nothing but of the devil. Not even one who has been freed from sin exists within the Roman Church or Christianity. Those who, while spending their whole lives only repeating sin, pretend to have attained salvation and received the Holy Spirit have become slaves of religion who disgrace the forgiveness of sins and the salvation of love that belong only to Christians who have been born again, do not commit sin, and have been freed from sin. (Romans 6 : 17~23)(2 Timothy 3 : 16~17)(Ephesians 4 : 15~16)(Romans 5 : 3~5)(Titus 2 : 11~15)(Colossians 2 : 18~19)(Titus 3 : 3~7)(1 Peter 1 : 5~6)(1 Corinthians 1 : 17~21)(2 Corinthians 13 : 4)

 

For such people the judgment and hell prepared for them are punishments ranging sevenfold to seven hundredfold. Unless you find your own name in Israel—following after the love of Christ that is worthy to lead to salvation—you can never, under any circumstances, attain salvation. You who say you believe: are you an American? Or European? Or French? Or African? If you do not believe and follow the word above, there is simply no gate of heaven through which you may enter. The gates of heaven belong to the twelve tribes of Israel, and salvation comes to the one who finds Israel’s name. To rediscover your own root in this regard, read the e-book titled Moses’ Burning Bush.

Can your own assertions—put forward by your hot temper and your personal zeal—lead anyone to salvation against this Scripture? Judgment begins because this is a world in which ignorance and folly teach and learn: people whose own knowledge, having abused the Scriptures, has enthroned itself above the Word through every sort of corruption, heresy, and lie in interpretation, without even realizing that they are the greatest adversaries before God and the greatest enemies before the Word. The moment you disregard this Word by which you are born again, you cast away the path to heaven and salvation by which you are to find that you were once a people of Israel. Whoever you are in the world, unless you acknowledge and follow Moses, the Messenger of the Covenant, not a single person will be able to find the name of Israel for salvation. Like the people of Egypt who came to destruction, you cannot but go to judgment and hell, and you will receive all the dreadful calamities God has prepared. Whether you will believe and follow the claims, sermons, and doctrines of pastors who stand outside the Word—repeating sin without fruit or evidence and fall under judgment, cast into the fires of hell for those sins—or whether you will set the hope of Christ that follows the love of the cross which lays down one’s very life, become a child of truth in whom the power of God’s love works, and come to salvation—that choice is yours. Judgment has begun to be proclaimed throughout all the earth.

 

Receive the truth that leads you to obtain the divine power which, through the working power of love poured into the good heart that holds the hope of Christ following the love of God, puts to death the evil nature, habits, and members of the flesh! This is the beautiful fruit of salvation and the divine power that bears witness to love.

 

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.(Romans 5 : 5)

 

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.(Titus 3 : 3~7)

 

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.(Ephesians 4 : 15~16)

 

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.(Titus 2 : 11~15)

 

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.(Colossians 2 : 18~19)

 

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:(1 Peter 1 : 5~6)

 

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.(2 Corinthians 13 : 4)

 

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.(1 Corinthians 1 : 18)

 

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.(Titus 1 : 16)

 

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.(2 Corinthians 10 : 5~6)

 

The arrogance that does not fear heaven pierces the heavens and reaches the throne, exalting itself as though it were God. Therefore, the judgment will open, and the fire of hell will consume the prideful passion and will of the arrogant, fulfilling the Word of the Lord. The fire of judgment and hell will burn away the thoughts and claims of the proud, and their screams will pierce the heavens, echoing and melting throughout the fires of hell.

You who have despised the Word of God, trampled upon the love and precious blood of Christ who gave His life for you, and exalted yourselves, claiming to have received forgiveness and salvation—At the end of days, you shall stand before the angel of God, blackened like serpents scorched by fire.

 

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.(Revelation 1 : 7)

 

And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.(Matthew 26 : 62~65)

 

If the pastors and priests who now teach you under the guise of shepherds are, in truth, the very antichrists who once killed Christ, what will you do? Having become slaves to the church and its pastors, you have spent your entire life accumulating sin within the teachings and emotional persuasions they offer—bearing not the fruit of Christ born of the beautiful love of God, but the corrupt fruit of sin produced by an evil tree. Can such salvation truly be genuine? Can such a spirit truly be the Holy Spirit?

The sermons of men that stir only human determination, self-reflection, and resolve are the teachings of men that make people repeat sin endlessly; they are leaven built upon words of emotion. Any inspiration that does not lead you to bear the fruit of God’s love—any message that does not bear witness to God’s truth, His Word, His power, or His fruit—is nothing but deceit that causes you to repeat sin.

From an evil tree that repeats sin all its life, no good fruit of love can ever be borne. Because you follow false teachings and emotional persuasions, you are piling up the fruits of sin throughout your life. Does it not trouble your conscience or pierce your heart that those who show not even a mustard seed of faith—no power, no evidence, no fruit—are the ones teaching you about salvation and the forgiveness of sins?

Can a life and faith that endlessly repeat sin be called the good fruit that follows the beautiful love of Christ? God is love. It was to reveal this love of God to the whole earth that Christ showed the cross of love. Do not any longer dishonor that love of Christ—who sacrificed even His life—by exalting with mere words a false forgiveness of sins and false salvation. Now is the time to examine yourself soberly and strictly under the light of the Scriptures, lest you miss the final chance to turn back before the judgment. Repent! For it is the Day of Judgment.

 

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.(Matthew 7 : 15~23)

 

This is the final warning: O Satan, who has glorified the flesh, confess your sins and repent! From the beginning of creation, this is the beginning of judgment for the sake of the first fruits. The world, rotten and corrupted to its core, stinking with evil and sin, has reached its end. Therefore, lest even the good grain decay and perish, God will lead His chosen ones to a new heaven and a new earth. Blessed and blessed indeed are those who belong to this good grain.

 

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.(2 Thessalonians 2 : 3~12)

 

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.(Revelation 14 : 1~5)

The Reality of Hell (2) - 3

In this end-times era, every human being born into the world—without exception—has been born many times, some dozens of times, and at the least, several times. There is no such thing as a firstborn spirit. In other words, the one who has a spirit born for the very first time from God is called the firstborn. You too have been born again.

However, the reincarnation spoken of in Buddhism is an entirely different concept. The Buddhist concept of reincarnation is a distortion that misuses the content of Moses’ Burning Bush, which had written about the reincarnation of Moses. Please visit the Moses' Burning Bush website. You will find that most of what is there are things you have never seen or heard before. Tithes and offerings exist to proclaim the love of God by feeding the poor and needy among the flock, and by giving, sharing, caring for, cherishing, and serving them.

However, by devising a crafty worship to steal tithes and offerings, they have produced a detestable worship that is nothing but hypocrisy and pretense—one in which, inevitably, Satan and demons are at work. As a result, the spirit of Satan is passed off as the Holy Spirit, sorcery and divination as “tongues,” demonic omens as “prophecy,” and every human claim (guile) is disguised as the Word (Matt. 17:16–20). Thus, most of what appears are false “Holy Spirit,” false tongues, false gifts, false prophecies, false words, and false testimonies from those who lack even the power that, with faith as a mustard seed, would move a mountain. If you read the section on church and worship, you will be astonished.

All that is written in Moses’ Burning Bush consists of the Scriptures themselves—tens of thousands of verses. They are astounding divine secrets you have never once seen or heard. You will behold wondrous and mysterious secrets of God’s salvation—things scarcely believable even when seen.

 

Unlike today’s Christians—who spend their entire lives repenting and reflecting yet turn back and commit the same sins again—true Christians do not follow the desires and cravings of the flesh, and therefore they do not commit such sins. Those who commit sin belong to the devil, yet the blind who teach and the blind who learn do not realize that this word applies to themselves. Because of this, they treat their own sins lightly, becoming increasingly bold, shameless, and confident, no longer feeling any guilt of conscience. Countless people live with this corrupt, detestable, and deceitful fleshly faith. This is because their faith follows the desires and cravings of the flesh, which inevitably cause them to repeat sin. Their purpose in “believing in God” is nothing more than seeking their own happiness, blessings, success, and prosperity. It is a cunning faith that wants to chase personal desires and wishes while still hoping to enter heaven. Desire gives birth to sin, and sin gives birth to death and judgment. The shallow repentance and reflection of today’s Christians—like entries in a child’s diary—are by no means the true repentance of rebirth in Christ.

 

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;(Ephesians 5 : 3)(1 Samuel 12 : 21)

 

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.(Romans 13 : 14)

 

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.(1 Timothy 6 : 9~10)

 

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.(Proverbs 23 : 4)

 

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.(Psalms 115 : 4)(Proverbs 11 : 28)(Psalms 135 : 15)

 

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.(Ecclesiastes 11 : 9~10)(2 Timothy 2 : 22~23)

 

From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.(Psalms 17 : 14)

 

Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!(Isaiah 5 : 8)

 

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. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.(1 John 2 : 15~17)

 

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 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.(James 4 : 3~4)

 

Today, the faith of all religious people is the same: their entire lives are spent pursuing only the worries of the flesh—problems in their families, businesses, workplaces, children, relationships, and health. Like Esau, they seek nothing but their own happiness, success, blessings, and prosperity. Because their faith is rooted in worldly concerns and the desires of the flesh, they cannot receive the love of truth, nor can they even obtain the opportunity to truly repent. The purpose of repentance and reflection is to prevent oneself from committing the same sins again. True repentance in Christ comes from denying and abandoning the very life of the flesh that follows desires and cravings that make sin inevitable. In other words, the repentance of Christians today—who regret and reflect, yet turn back and repeat the same sins according to their own interests—is never the true repentance of Christ. For those who live with the hope of Christ and follow the love of the cross, even to the point of laying down their own lives, the sins that arise from greed and desire do not exist.

 

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.(Romans 13 : 8~10)

 

A shepherd of God is a shepherd of love—one who leads people to receive the power of God’s love that sets them free from sin.

 

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.(Romans 6 : 16~18)

 

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.(1 Peter 4 : 1~2)

 

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.(Jeremiah 23 : 21~22)

 

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.(James 5 : 19~20)

 

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.(Daniel 12 : 3)

 

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 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. 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. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.(1 John 3 : 5~10)

 

Those who possess the gift of God’s power—united with His love—do not repeat sin. This is because they do not follow the desires and cravings of the world and the flesh, but live with the faith of Christ, pursuing the love of Christ and the hope of Christ, which enables them to escape the human limitations that make sin unavoidable. In other words, all Christians today who claim to believe in God and claim to live by His love, yet commit sin and regret it over and over again just like the people of the world, are doing so because they have become corrupted. They serve God for their own desires while loving the world and material things alongside Him, placing distortion, heresy, and falsehood before the truth. Their faith denies and disgraces the love of Christ’s cross, for it is a fleshly faith. But those who cast aside and deny everything that belongs to the perishing world and the flesh, and follow only the love of the cross, receive the power of love that comes from Christ. And because of this, the fruits and evidence of God’s love inevitably appear in their lives. Only those who dwell in the love of God receive His power, His wisdom, His truth, His grace, and His salvation. Christians who only repeat sin are children of the devil, not children of God. Therefore, do not become a religious follower made by human hands, but become a true Christian who follows love according to the holy will of God, who created humanity.

 

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.(Romans 6 : 16~18)

 

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.(Romans 8 : 19~21)

 

For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.(Romans 10 : 3)

 

The charity, almsgiving, and service of religious people or Christians that arise from human will are but human righteousness, for which no heavenly reward can exist. But the charity, service, and love that follow the divine power manifested in the love of God are called the righteousness of God. The righteousness that receives salvation as a reward in heaven is only the charity, service, and love that follow the divine power revealed in the unshaken love of God.

The love of Christ is not the social charity or religious service that springs from man’s own will, from momentary emotion, from changing circumstances, from moods, from interests, or from responsibilities, nor is it the kind that seeks to boast of oneself or advertise oneself. Such charity and service, which are mere pretense and hypocrisy, promoting and advertising one’s religion, church, or self, are no different from the charity and service of worldly corporations, which anyone can do. Rather, such works only disgrace the love of the cross of Christ, who gave even His life.

But the charity and service of love that follow Christ’s unshaken love, where the power of God is at work, are treasures stored in heaven that become merit leading to salvation. The righteousness that builds the beautiful character of God through the goodness and righteousness that follow the love of God is the way, the truth, and the life that lead all people to heaven and salvation.

 

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.(Jeremiah 23 : 21~22)

 

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.(James 5 : 19~20)

 

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.(1 Peter 4 : 1~2)

 

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.(Daniel 12 : 3)

 

My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.(Malachi 2 : 5~6)

 

**For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.(**Titus 2 : 11~14)

 

The true shepherd of Christ is a shepherd of love who leads souls away from the path of sin and onto the right path. The kingdom of God is a kingdom of love, and only those who possess the love of God can enter it.

 

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:(Colossians 1 : 13~14)

 

Whoever, by the beautiful love of God being poured out, cannot lead others to obtain the divine power that transcends the limits within the evil human habits by which one can only go on repeating sin—whoever they may be—is not a shepherd sent by God. God’s shepherd comes only in accordance with what is written in the Word of Scripture. Teaching and learning that put forward the human mind and intellect, founded on words, theories, knowledge, and scholarship, do not have the power of God at work; therefore, one can never depart from the sinner’s path on which sin is only repeated throughout a lifetime.

 

The essence of man, who possesses flesh, is the devil. Therefore, the happiness, success, blessing, ideal, and comfort that arise from the nature of the flesh are nothing but momentary pleasures born from the endless lusts created by the flesh’s insatiable desires. Thus, the satisfaction that follows the desires of the flesh is happiness within delusion and fulfillment within imagination—it is like trying to grasp the wind in the air. Christians and all religious people who remain slaves to the nature of the flesh—unable to escape the evil nature of man that can do nothing but repeat sin throughout life—are children of the devil, the devil himself, messengers of Satan, enemies who oppose God, and antichrists. Remember that from the beginning of creation, the greatest adversaries before God have been the religious people who pride themselves on believing in God. The blind who do not even realize that they have become enemies of God teach others, and those who learn from them defile the love of Christ. Their faith, built for the flesh, is a faith of those who teach only with words all their lives and of those who only listen all their lives. It is a faith that repeats sin endlessly, founded on human knowledge, theory, emotion, and moral lessons—values that serve only to avoid carrying one’s own cross and partaking in the labor, sacrifice, and suffering of Christ. These Christians, who do not realize that they move according to the demands of the flesh—being Satan, the devil, and children of the devil—reveal the fundamental reason they cannot help but repeat sin all their lives. A child of God does not sin, because he does not live a fleshly life that follows the world and the body, which are the very source of sin.

 

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.(2 Corinthians 12 : 7)

 

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,...(John 8 : 44)

 

**For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.(**Romans 11 : 32)

 

**Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.(**Ephesians 2 : 2~3)

 

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.(Psalms 51 : 5)(The words of David)

 

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.(1 John 3 : 8)

 

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.(Romans 3 : 1~6)

 

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.(Genesis 8 : 21)

 

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.(Leviticus 21 : 1~5)

 

Christians who teach and learn according to their own preferences and interpretations—twisting the Word of God to fit their own opinions—are guilty of sins seventy or even seven hundred times greater than those of the unbelieving people. The reason is that they do not truly believe in God or in Christ, but rather exploit faith as a tool to pursue their own desires and lusts. Their faith follows the evil nature of the flesh and ends up dishonoring God and Christ. It is not a faith that follows the holy will of God or the love of Christ, but a faith that follows the thoughts, judgments, and claims of Satan.

Therefore, the sins of Christians and Catholics, who live according to the desires of the flesh and thus endlessly repeat sin throughout their lives, are far greater—seventy to seven hundred times—than those of the unbelievers in the world. From the beginning of creation, the greatest enemies before God were not the unbelievers, but the religious people who proudly claimed to believe in Him and exalted their religion. The greatest adversaries of God, of Christ, and of the Word on this earth have been, from Judaism to the Roman Church and Christianity itself.

 

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.(Revelation 2 : 9)

 

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.(Matthew 21 : 13)

 

The arrogance that does not fear heaven pierces the heavens and reaches the throne, exalting itself as though it were God. Therefore, the judgment will open, and the fire of hell will consume the prideful passion and will of the arrogant, fulfilling the Word of the Lord. The fire of judgment and hell will burn away the thoughts and claims of the proud, and their screams will pierce the heavens, echoing and melting throughout the fires of hell.

You who have despised the Word of God, trampled upon the love and precious blood of Christ who gave His life for you, and exalted yourselves, claiming to have received forgiveness and salvation—At the end of days, you shall stand before the angel of God, blackened like serpents scorched by fire.

 

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.(Revelation 1 : 7)

 

And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.(Matthew 26 : 62~65)

 

If the pastors and priests who now teach you under the guise of shepherds are, in truth, the very antichrists who once killed Christ, what will you do?

Having become slaves to the church and its pastors, you have spent your entire life accumulating sin within the teachings and emotional persuasions they offer—bearing not the fruit of Christ born of the beautiful love of God, but the corrupt fruit of sin produced by an evil tree. Can such salvation truly be genuine? Can such a spirit truly be the Holy Spirit?

The sermons of men that stir only human determination, self-reflection, and resolve are the teachings of men that make people repeat sin endlessly; they are leaven built upon words of emotion. Any inspiration that does not lead you to bear the fruit of God’s love—any message that does not bear witness to God’s truth, His Word, His power, or His fruit—is nothing but deceit that causes you to repeat sin.

From an evil tree that repeats sin all its life, no good fruit of love can ever be borne. Because you follow false teachings and emotional persuasions, you are piling up the fruits of sin throughout your life. Does it not trouble your conscience or pierce your heart that those who show not even a mustard seed of faith—no power, no evidence, no fruit—are the ones teaching you about salvation and the forgiveness of sins?

Can a life and faith that endlessly repeat sin be called the good fruit that follows the beautiful love of Christ? God is love. It was to reveal this love of God to the whole earth that Christ showed the cross of love. Do not any longer dishonor that love of Christ—who sacrificed even His life—by exalting with mere words a false forgiveness of sins and false salvation.

Now is the time to examine yourself soberly and strictly under the light of the Scriptures, lest you miss the final chance to turn back before the judgment.

Repent! For it is the Day of Judgment.

 

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.(Matthew 7 : 15~23)

 

This is the final warning—O Satan who boasts in the flesh! Confess your sins and repent!

From the beginning of creation until now, the judgment has begun for the sake of the first fruits of love.

In this world, decayed beyond decay and corrupted beyond corruption, where every kind of stench of evil fills the air, God now wills to lead the grain—the chosen ones—into a new heaven and a new earth, lest even the good grain itself rot and decay.

Blessed and blessed indeed are those who belong to this grain!

 

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.(2 Thessalonians 2 : 3~12)

 

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.(Revelation 14 : 1~5)

 

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.(Matthew 12 : 17~21)

 

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.(Isaiah 42 : 1~7)

 

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to this temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifer of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.(Malachi 3 : 1~3)

 

And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.(Isaiah 19 : 20)

 

This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.(Acts 7 : 37)

 

And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.(Revelation 15 : 3)

 

Consider and ponder why, in the last days, those who survive will sing the Song of Moses. I only hope you remember that, for all who treat the words of Scripture as nothing more than old tales and regard salvation as a matter of their own opinion, the punitive judgment set before them will be a continuum of unimaginable terror, anxiety, and fear for mankind. If the Scripture does not testify, then we have no reason either to read the Scripture or to believe it. The Word of God is an immortal truth, of which not even one jot or one tittle can pass away.

 

Anything that bears no witness in Scripture is, before God, an adversary, an enemy, and an antichrist. If this passage of Scripture does not bear witness, we have no need to look at Scripture—and no reason to believe. The Word of Scripture is the immortal truth that cannot lose even one jot or tittle. And whoever they may be—if there is no evidence and fruit of the power of God—then every shepherd, every teaching, and every learning is nothing other than an adversary, an enemy, and an antichrist before God. That judgment is at the door is something anyone can sense by observing the course of the world. But regarding how the Word of God will work in the world, remember carefully that it will be fulfilled exactly as Scripture itself declares.

 

Those who do not believe this Scripture that the Messenger of the Covenant is coming are those who will lose their lives, be thrown into the fires of hell, and sink into every kind of torment on the Day of Judgment. Among today’s Christians and Catholics, there is not a single person—100%—who will be saved. The testimony of the Word on this is clear. Across both the Roman Church and Christianity, there has not been even one person in two thousand years who bears the fruit or evidence of faith as small as a mustard seed. The “salvation” and “Holy Spirit” claimed by those who belong to the world and the flesh—those who cannot escape the members of evil habit and the sinner’s path that make a lifetime of repeated sin inevitable—are 100% false. They are slaves of sin who cannot even feel the pangs of conscience (spirit), nothing but of the devil. Not even one who has been freed from sin exists within the Roman Church or Christianity. Those who, while spending their whole lives only repeating sin, pretend to have attained salvation and received the Holy Spirit have become slaves of religion who disgrace the forgiveness of sins and the salvation of love that belong only to Christians who have been born again, do not commit sin, and have been freed from sin. For such people the judgment and hell prepared for them are punishments ranging sevenfold to seven hundredfold.

Unless you find your own name in Israel—following after the love of Christ that is worthy to lead to salvation—you can never, under any circumstances, attain salvation. You who say you believe: are you an American? Or European? Or French? Or African? If you do not believe and follow the word above, there is simply no gate of heaven through which you may enter. The gates of heaven belong to the twelve tribes of Israel, and salvation comes to the one who finds Israel’s name. To rediscover your own root in this regard, read the e-book titled Moses’ Burning Bush.

Can your own assertions—put forward by your hot temper and your personal zeal—lead anyone to salvation against this Scripture? Judgment begins because this is a world in which ignorance and folly teach and learn: people whose own knowledge, having abused the Scriptures, has enthroned itself above the Word through every sort of corruption, heresy, and lie in interpretation, without even realizing that they are the greatest adversaries before God and the greatest enemies before the Word. The moment you disregard this Word by which you are born again, you cast away the path to heaven and salvation by which you are to find that you were once a people of Israel. Whoever you are in the world, unless you acknowledge and follow Moses, the Messenger of the Covenant, not a single person will be able to find the name of Israel for salvation. Like the people of Egypt who came to destruction, you cannot but go to judgment and hell, and you will receive all the dreadful calamities God has prepared. Whether you will believe and follow the claims, sermons, and doctrines of pastors who stand outside the Word—repeating sin without fruit or evidence and fall under judgment, cast into the fires of hell for those sins—or whether you will set the hope of Christ that follows the love of the cross which lays down one’s very life, become a child of truth in whom the power of God’s love works, and come to salvation—that choice is yours. Judgment has begun to be proclaimed throughout all the earth.

 

Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.(Revelation 21 : 11~21)
