Sin Not

Psalm 4

4 Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye thus in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.

8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!

The Psalm says "tremble ye, and do not sin"....Tremble? Yes, tremble, why did the Holy Spirit use that word? There's a reason this idea of "fear of the Lord" is in the bible. Men should not fear those who can kill the body, but they should fear him who can throw both body and soul into hell. These days, with the world falling down around our heads, people are looking for safety and security. Remember maslow's hierarchy of needs? It's right there at the top, and safety is one of those needs right above eating and sleeping, which is why is such a powerful tool for control of the masses. The thing is, the Lord said that he would be the one who could cause you to dwell in safety. He is our source for everything. We as believers are sons of God, we eat at the kings table, which means we play by the kings rules. One of the top rules is DO NOT SIN.

The Lord has an interesting way of bringing things to my attention. I ask questions all the time and sometimes it takes the Lord quite awhile to answer them. He answers when it pleases him to answer, anyhow, pertaining to this question of WHY so few will be saved (MAtt 7:14) he point this out to me:

Matt 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

7:14 how strait is the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

7:21 'Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens

7 verses after Jesus telling us to seek, and knock, he tells us how few will be those who find the way of life, then 7 verses later he tells us about those who call him "Lord" but won't be admitted to the kingdom. He brings to my attention a question to answer a question...what are people "seeking" for? Which doors are people "knocking" on? The answer to these questions will shed light on why few will make it through the narrow gate and why the many who call him "Lord" won't be granted entrance to the kingdom.

When men seek other men for their safety and security, but do not seek the Lord's face in prayer, do you think that pleases the Lord? When men are knocking on every worldly door they can find, but they fail to knock on Jesus' door, do you think that pleases the Lord? Men's first choice over and over again is to seek the world, a great example was this past presidential (s)election, where all the so called christians pandered for McBush to win so he could save America? Obama may be the anti-christ but McBush was any better? Bush basically destroyed America over the past 8 years and the same so called christians clamored to get another guy in the white house who is just like him? My point is not which of the crooks got elected, my point is that so called christianity seeks the world to save them. Instead of working for a kingdom that is not of this world, they belong to the kingdoms of this world. We live in the world but we are not of the world, they just don't get it. Seek and you will find. Todays so called church seeks the world and finds the world and look where we have arrived? This place is a royal mess, and the blame for it lays squarely at the feet of so called christianity. If they were "salt" the world would'nt be rotting right now. If they were "light" the world would'nt be so dark right now. As things stand the world is rotting and dark, which is all the evidence you need to know that so called christianity today is a fraud. They are a business willing to service (weekly) you for a fee(tithe), setup by their tax-exempt CEO's called "pastors."

When you understand that only few will be saved, it should alarm you. It should cause you to search the face of God to determine why such a tragedy will take place. It should motivate you to use all your strength to not let that happen to you. A warning before tragedy takes place is a gift of life, unfortunately many people just see it as criticism and continue on their broad path journey to the wide gate that leads to destruction. The feel that since they are with the "herd" of many people on this broad path, they must be in the right place. Most people must be right when they all believe and do the same things, and small groups outside the mainstream must be wrong because there are only a few of them, or so they think. One day the people who think this way will be in for a rude awakening. The world they sought comfort from sold them down the river. The God of creation has been waiting and watching with his grace extended for anyone and everyone who will accept it. It appears today that not many are "seeking" or "knocking" on his door.

Remember, everything called Jesus is not the real Jesus. Everything called "christian" is not true christian. Prayers to "a" god are not prayers to THE God. This world is full of frauds, full of lies, and full of deceit. Satan is no dummy. He is the master of sending souls to hell, and those who do not love the truth enough to sell out for it will most likely be deceived. Time is short, I don't see any of this as rocket science. How hard is this command to understand: "Do not sin" Not rocket science to understand, you don't need some crackerjack box theology degree to figure it out, you don't need some hireling pastor to help you understand it. You need the Holy Spirit to DO it, which means you need to be "in Christ." A weak church will be kept from the hour of tempation thats coming on the whole world to test it (rev 3:10). An escape is coming for those who are found worthy of it (luke 21:36).

If you think that people who "sin all the time" will be counted worthy of the rapture, well, I guess you will find out soon whether you are right or not.....Sin must be rooted out and kept out, just like you must get "in Christ" and REMAIN "in Christ."

It's easy to "get married" but not so easy to "remain married" right? Just like its easy to accept the grace offered through faith to enter into Christ, but not so easy to remain "in Christ." Does that jive with what we're told in Matt 7:14 that only a few will be saved, and Matt 7:21 where many who call him Lord will be told "away from me you evildoers, I never knew you?" Yea, it does, fits like a glove.

I don't care about being "right" as much as I care about your soul not being in hell. Be not deceived. grace and peace

What is Sin?

I read an article this morning by a writer within churchianity who asks what is sin? What is repentance? You know right off the bat where they are going with this. It's like Bill Clinton asking what the definition of "is" is....

The teachers and preachers of todays apostate church not only refuse to admit that they are apostate (of course), but they also argue FOR sin. I want to be very clear about this, anyone who makes the argument that "we all sin, so stop pointing the finger" probably does'nt know the God I know. The God I worship is a HOLY God...he HATES sin, from the least to the greatest of sins. There is NO darkness in Him, none. Instead of trying to lookup the greek meaning of sin and repentance to give themselves a license for sin, churchianity ought to be reading their bibles and getting to know the true God better. This is what the bible says about sin:

1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 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.

From what I read here, sin is NOT something we all do, no should it EVER be something thats glossed over with a "who are you to judge me" argument. There is one judge, his name is Jesus. You should expect the servants of the true Christ to be preaching HATRED OF SIN, and anything that even remotely smells of it. He that committeth sin is OF THE DEVIL, that sound ok to you? We all sin? We all sin all the time? Since we all sin all the time we're all going in the rapture? WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE COME FROM? Churchianity is full of hired hands and wolves today. Whoever sins, has neither seen him NOR KNOWN HIM.

Remember I told you that "in Christ" are probably the two most important words in the bible? Well, there it is again:

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

And there's that word ABIDE again, which means:

to remain stable or fixed in a state, to continue in a place

How can a person claim to know the Holy God and be making excuses for sin at the same time?

These men tell you that nobody is worthy of escaping in the rapture but the Lord is going to take everyone anyway...where or where is that in the bible?

I can tell you what is in the bible: the story of Noah and Lot, as well as Luke 21:36 which tells us to pray that we may be counted WORTHY of the escape. Matt 24 tells us that the coming of the Lord will be like it was with Noah. Noah was found to be righteous in his generation. Lot was the only one found worthy in the ENTIRE CITY of sodom. Matt 25 tells us that ALL the virgins went out to meet the bridegroom, but ONLY THOSE WITH OIL in their lamps were found worthy to go into the wedding. Did all the virgins get to go, or only those who were ready?

Over and over again the Lord tells you DO NOT BE DECEIVED, why? Because false teachers and preachers are going to whisper sweet nothings in your ear to get you to believe that your salvation and your escape in the rapture are done deals, and nothing you can do or say can change that. My counsel to you is for you to read your bible for yourself and figure out how much tolerance the Creator has for sin.

Was Paul speaking nonsense when he said:

2 Corinthians 13 :5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. 7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. 10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. 12 Greet one another with an holy kiss. 13 All the saints salute you.

BE PERFECT Paul says...you see any room for "I sin all the time" in that?

There are two schools of thought at war with each other here. One says that you have to give your all to Christ to remain "in him." It requires total committment. I am amazed that people in this world know that to achieve anything great in this world takes total committment and excellence, yet when it comes to salvation, the greatest of all goals, churchianity preaches a "anything goes" message. Can you give a marginal effort day after day and achieve great things in this life? Almost never. So why would you assume you can half-effort your salvation?

I have also heard the criticism of "who are you to question other people's salvation, or whether they'll go in the rapture?" I'm a nobody, but I serve the CREATOR OF ALL THINGS. If I repeat to you the words He has already said then I am not your judge, He is. Churchianity likes to try to "shoot the messenger" to make the message go away, but its NOT GOING AWAY.

The question that was a large part of starting this blog is "why will so FEW be saved (matt 7:14)?" Preaching and teaching by those in the apostate church, along with mankinds love of falsehoods to justify their sin is why. If today's churchianity was full of salt and light, the world would'nt be rotting right now would it? Salt is a preservative, light drives out darkness. I see no preservation and I see darkness everywhere, so what does that tell you about churchianity today? It's a lie, its a FRAUD. Ultimately it will be you answering to Jesus, so I would say that you should dig for the truth as if it were hidden treasure. I can't do it for you, neither can any other man. You have to know Jesus, and he has to know you. Why?

Matt 7:21 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. 22 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? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

There are MANY in todays world who call Jesus Lord, but on "that day" he's going to tell them

"I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." I did'nt say that, your bible says that. I'm not judging you, Jesus will judge you. Should'nt servants of Jesus be repeating the warnings that Jesus gave to the world and especially to the church?

Nothing has changed, men do not want to be confronted with their sin, they don't want to hear about holiness, they want to do what they want to do and receive all the blessings of heaven as a cherry on top. That's not the way things work according to the bible I read. I write what I have been given to write. We are living in the last days, next year all hell breaks loose. The wrong time to figure out how high the bar has been set is on the day you are on your knees before Jesus. Can you imagine how bad thats going to feel for people to say "Lord" to Jesus and he tells them away from me, I never knew you? I cannot imagine anything worse. That is ultimate pain, untimate defeat, eternal death.

If being reminded of what has already been written for thousands of years, enables you to hear:

Matt 25:21 ....Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Then these words I write this morning were not pointless.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, may his face shine upon you and may he grant you peace
