"He who is not with ME is against ME; and he who does not gather With ME scatters. "Therefore I Say To you, any sin and blasphemy shall be Forgiven men, but blasphemy against The SPIRIT shall not be Forgiven. "And whoever shall speak a word against The SON Of Man, it shall be Forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against The HOLY SPIRIT, it shall not be Forgiven him, either in this age, or in The Age To Come..." Matthew 12:30-32. This is posted because many Christians follow teachers and preachers and before looking for themselves many will often trust in these teachers and preachers before first and foremost, by faith, trusting in The LORD to Guide them, to Show them, to Teach them, so that they will know when they hear a false teaching or an error in the interpretation of Scripture. Some will do so to the extent that their faith becomes toward a particular teacher or preacher rather than in GOD. This is specifically written on Charles Stanley as his name was mentioned on notes as being someone good to listen to. Here I will use Charles Stanley's own words and view points to show, from Scripture, his errors in understanding. We are Called to examine everything carefully and to reject those who preach contrary to The Word Of GOD. As we are to know no partiality, as always if any see error in my words in Light of Scripture then you must show it so that I may know repentance in it. This is good and proper for all who will name themselves a believer in GOD Through JESUS CHRIST. This is why we must reject the teachings of Charles Stanley and those like him: our fellowship, In The SPIRIT, is with The FATHER And With HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. It is not to be with those who actually refuse GOD and will deny HIM and HIS Word for the sake of their own beliefs in not truly understanding to the distortion of The Holy Scriptures. See 2 Peter 2. This man Charles Stanley does not appear to understand the elementary things of The faith. He clearly does not understand what faith is, means or what a Saving faith brings with it in the true believer. I don't accuse him. The Word Of GOD Shows all words and actions for what they truly are. And please believe me, there is so much more that could have been added from Scripture than has been included here. But what is included here is more than enough for it all to be seen for what it truly is. I share knowing I shall give account to HIM for all I both say and do, just as we all shall do. There is none with excuse: ..."If any man has ears to hear, let him hear." And HE was Saying To them, "Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it shall be Measured To you; and more shall be Given you besides. "For whoever has, To him Shall Be Given; and whoever does not have, even what he has Shall Be Taken Away from him." Mark 4:21-25 (v23-25). If your faith is truly in GOD then you will hear HIM and so act accordingly, to turn away from false teachers such as Charles Stanley. These false teachers do nothing but take you with them along the broad way that leads to Destruction. Either make the tree good and its fruit good; or make the tree bad and its fruit bad. As a professing believer we either believe GOD and grow in The faith and prosper toward Eternal Life, or we refuse GOD and perish as an unbeliever, a fool who fell away, who joined in apostasy. ..."And I Say To you, that every careless word that men shall speak, they shall render account for it in The Day Of Judgement. "For by your words you shall be Justified and by your words you shall be condemned." Matthew 12:33-37 (v36-37). This, of course, applies to you, me, Charles Stanley and indeed every soul of man. These are Charles Stanley's own words, “The very gospel itself comes under attack when the eternal security of the believer is questioned. "Placing the responsibility for maintaining salvation on the believer is adding works to grace. "Salvation would no longer be a gift. It would become a trade—our faithfulness for His faithfulness. "This is a far cry from the good news Jesus preached”. Where to start! There is just so much wrong with every statement here. Firstly, this 'eternal security' spoken of by those who will believe in the heretical teaching of once saved always saved is found no where in Scripture. It is made from not understanding and a distortion of The Scriptures. See 2 Peter 3:14-18. To be found By GOD in peace (Romans 5:1-2), spotless and blameless is the result of The Sanctifying Work Of The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth. It is for this we have been Called By GOD Through The Gospel Of JESUS CHRIST (1 Timothy 6:3-5), that we may Gain The Glory Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST; which means being Conformed to HIS Image (Romans 8:29-30): The Purpose Of GOD The FATHER In HIS SON, that HE might be The First-Born Of many Brethren. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17. It is not to be numbered with those who are accursed, through their believing and preaching what is false (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12, Romans 1:18 - 2:16). Charles Stanley here in his own words is the one rejecting The Gospel Of JESUS CHRIST and so is one who is actually attacking It, as he himself says here of those who question his doctrine of 'eternal security.' Because the very Message Of The Gospel is repentance for the Forgiveness of sins, Luke 24:44-47. Luke 5:32, Luke 13:1-9, Hebrews 6:1-8. This is the 'responsibility' of the believer, their obligation; to die to the deeds of the flesh so as to live to Righteousness (Romans 6), and by the very definition of a believer; one who has faith and by implication entrusting their Spiritual well-being to GOD, he here already shows how unknowing he really is. How can any man state that The Gospel comes under attack when the eternal security of the believer is questioned, when GOD, WHOSE Gospel It Is, States In HIS Word that no one has guaranteed Eternal Security but only those who truly live by faith in JESUS CHRIST? John 10:25-30.And GOD States throughout HIS Gospel that "You will know them by their fruits." HE Explains Clearly throughout HIS Word and Through HIS Holy Apostles of repentance and what this brings with it, the proof of that Saving faith. 1 Peter 1:7. If eternal security, or once saved always saved as it is also known, is believed true, then it means refusing much of The Bible. We cannot go on willfuly sinning after receiving the Knowledge Of The Truth and expect to live. It is just not Scriptural, 2 Thessalonians 1:6-12, Hebrews 10:26-39, 1 Peter 1:13-21, 2 Peter 2:20-22, 1 John 3:1-10, Revelation 22:10-16. These are just six places in Scripture of many places which state what refuses this 'once saved always saved' heretical teaching. We must remember, Only GOD Is Just And The Justifier Of the one who has faith in JESUS. Romans 3:10-28. It is never for a mere mortal man to speak as Charles Stanley does here in Spiritual matters.Charles Stanley in and by his words speaks as god in his statements on Spiritual matters, as though he himself is the authority. It is quite shocking. Knowing this, that he teaches and preaches what is blasphemy, why would any professing Christian insist on still listening to his preaching and so following him instead of The GOD WHOM they profess to love and worship? It just does not make any sense and goes against how GOD'S Word Instructs, Romans 16:17-18, 2 John:6-11, 1 Thessalonians 5:22, Titus 3:10-11. Psalm 50:16-23. There is no partiality with GOD. Accordingly as we are Called to be imitators of HIM as Beloved children (Ephesians 5:1-2) there is to be none with us also (Romans 2:5-13). What Charles Stanley believes of himself and for others who will believe in his words, the Apostle Paul never believed of himself or of any other man; because he believed GOD; his faith was in GOD. See 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, and then how he writes continuing to warn The Church into chapter 10. Habakkuk 2:4. Charles Stanley objecting to this attack of his version of his gospel, here speaking of 'placing the responsibility for maintaining salvation on the 'believer' and stating that this is 'adding works to grace' is not understanding how one enters into this Grace in Which we stand, and remains under Grace, not falling from Grace. It is by faith as faith is, according to GOD. Romans 5:1-5, 2 Corinthians 6:1-10. Faith is believing in GOD and all HE Says, all HE Is. Psalm 94:8-16. We cannot 'add works to Grace'. This is a statement of his own imaginings which makes no sense through his not understanding that we enter into this Grace in Which we stand through faith and remain Under this Grace through faith. It is a constant all the days of our lives. Through our faith, GOD Works in the heart of the believer; the Sanctification By The SPIRIT Through faith in The Truth. And through faith we work The Works Of GOD (John 6:28-29) Which HE Purposed Beforehand In The BELOVED, because we are HIS Workmanship (Ephesians 2:8-10), HIS Building, 'So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but GOD WHO Causes the Growth. Now he who plants and he who waters are One; but each will Receive his own Reward according to his own labour. For we are GOD'S fellow workers; you are GOD'S Field, GOD'S Building. 'According to The Grace Of GOD Which was Given to me, as a wise master builder I laid A Foundation and another is building upon It. But let each man be careful how he builds upon It. For no man can lay a foundation other than The One Which Is Laid, Which Is JESUS CHRIST.' 1 Corinthians 3:7-11. But clearly, Stanley does not understand and does not hear Scripture Stating of the obligation to the believer and what the evidence is of one who is walking with GOD, and just WHO It Is WHO Bears Witness To that faithful one. This is written in Romans 8:12-14 and verse 16. This is blaspheming The HOLY SPIRIT in rejecting The GOD Breathed Word. And Through Paul, in another place It Is Written, 2 Timothy 2:10-15. Clearly then, Charles Stanley is guilty of preaching another gospel. See Galatians 1:6-12. As Paul writes here, 'But even though we, or an angel from Heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you have received, let him be accursed ' v8-9. 'Accursed' means, 'devoted to Destruction'. Stanley also states in his misunderstandings, being his own understanding, that, for the 'believer' to have responsibility, (being according to his gospel), this means Salvation would no longer be a gift. What does he understand to be The Gift Of GOD through which we obtain Salvation? Salvation is not The Gift Given Of GOD regardless of how we believe, understand and accordingly walk. Faith is The Gift Of GOD, By Grace. The Apostle Peter writes, in what we have as his first letter, to those who reside as aliens (1 Peter 1:1), which means strangers, or pilgrims; because he speaks of true believers with reference to Heaven being our native Home. Here, now In CHRIST, on earth we are not at Home; though being in the world, not being of the world and its ways. As Paul writes of those being CHRIST'S, 'As is the earthy (those of the world), so also are those who are earthy; and As Is The Heavenly (JESUS CHRIST; John 18:36), so also are those who are Heavenly. And just as we have borne the image of the earthy (when and as we were without CHRIST in the world and so, without Hope; Ephesians 2:1-3, and v 11-13, Hebrews 10:26-31), let us also bear The Image Of The Heavenly (Romans 8:29, 1 John 2:3-6). 1 Corinthians 15:48-49. CHRIST HIMSELF Is our Peace. Paul is stating here that we bear The Image Of JESUS CHRIST as being, becoming our Nature. Just as Peter writes in another place, 'Grace And Peace be Multiplied To you In The Knowledge Of GOD And Of JESUS our LORD; seeing that HIS Divine Power Has Granted To us Everything to Life And Godliness, Through The True Knowledge Of HIM WHO Called us By HIS Own Glory And Excellence. For By These HE Has Granted To us HIS Precious and Magnificent Promises, in order that By Them you might become partakers of Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.' 2 Peter 1:2-4. Just as Paul writes to The Church at Ephesus and to us, that if we have indeed heard JESUS and been Taught In HIM, just as Truth Is In JESUS, 'that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit and that you be Renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on The New self, Which In GOD Has Been Created In Righteousness And Holiness Of The Truth.' Ephesians 4:22-24. Peter writes stating of Salvation, '...obtaining as the outcome of your faith the Salvation of your souls.' 1 Peter 1:9. So how does Charles Stanley state, "Placing the responsibility for maintaining salvation on the believer is adding works to grace. "Salvation would no longer be a gift. It would become a trade—our faithfulness for His faithfulness..."? This is utter rubbish with no Scriptural foundation. Responsibility for maintaining Salvation on the believer is adding works to Grace? No it is not! This statement clearly refuses GOD and HIS Truth. 'You believe there is ONE GOD. You do well; the demons also believe and shudder. But are you willing to recognise, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is uselss?' James 2:19-20. We obtain, as the outcome of a faith that is according to GOD, The Salvation of our soul. A Saving faith bears The Testimony Of JESUS CHRIST; word and deed. It does not hold on to the deeds of the flesh, because we are GOD'S Workmanship; Created In CHRIST JESUS for Good Works Which GOD Prepared Beforehand that we should walk in Them. 'Who may ascend into The Hill Of The LORD? And who may stand in HIS Holy Place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart (1 Timothy 1:5), who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood and has not sworn deceitfully. He shall Receive A Blessing From The LORD And Righteousness From The GOD Of his Salvation. This is the generation of those who seek HIM, who seek THY Face - even Jacob.' (Matthew 7:7-23, Romans 11:16-21). Psalm 24:3-6 JESUS CHRIST: "HE Is The Stone Which was rejected by you, the builders, Which Became The Very Corner Stone. "And there is Salvation in no one else; for there is no other Name under Heaven that has been Given among men, by Which we must be Saved." Acts 4:11-12. 'For I am not ashamed of The Gospel, for It Is The Power Of GOD For Salvation To everyone who believes, To the Jew first and also To the Greek. For In It Righteousness Of GOD Is Revealed from faith to faith; as It Is Written, "But the Righteous shall live by faith." Romans 1:16-17.'...for with the heart (Philippians 3:9, Hebrews 10:19-27) man believes, resulting in Righteousness and with the mouth he confesses (1 John 2:23-29, 1 John 5:9-12), resulting in Salvation. For The Scripture Says, "Whoever believes In HIM shall not be disappointed." Romans 10:10-11. Romans 13:8-14, 2 Corinthians 7:10-11, Ephesians 6:10-18. 'Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of The Gospel Of CHRIST; so that whether I come to see you or remain absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in One spirit, with One mind striving together for The faith Of The Gospel; in no way alarmed by your opponents - which is a sign of destruction for them, but of Salvation for you, and that, From GOD. For to you it has been Granted for CHRIST'S Sake, not only to believe in HIM, but also to suffer for HIS Sake, experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear in me.' Philippians 1:27-30. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, 2 Thessalonians 2:13.'For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are Chosen, that they also may obtain The Salvation Which Is In CHRIST JESUS With Eternal Glory. It Is A Trustworthy Statement: For if we died with HIM (Romans 6:10-16), we shall also Live With HIM; If we endure (Matthew 24:9-13, Hebrews 12:7-8), we shall also reign With HIM; If we deny HIM, HE Also Will Deny us (Matthew 7:15-27, Matthew 10:32-33, Titus 1:15-16); If we are faithless, HE Remains Faithful; for HE cannot deny HIMSELF. Remind of these things and solemnly charge In The Presence Of GOD not to wrangle about words, which is useless, to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself Approved to GOD as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately The Word Of Truth.' 2 Timothy 2:10-15. As Paul wrote to Timothy, 'and that from childhood you have known The Sacred Writings Which Are Able to give you The Wisdom that Leads to Salvation through faith which is in CHRIST JESUS. All Scripture Is Inspired By GOD and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in Righteousness; that the man Of GOD may be adequate, equipped for every Good Work....' 2 Timothy 3:15-16. JESUS Became To all those who obey HIM The Source Of Eternal Salvation. Hebrews 5:9.'For The Grace Of GOD Has Appeared, Bringing Salvation to all men, Instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, Righteously and sensibly in the present age, looking for The Blessed Hope And The Appearing Of The Glory Of our Great GOD And SAVIOUR, CHRIST JESUS; WHO Gave HIMSELF For us, that HE might Redeem us from every lawless deed and Purify For HIMSELF a people For HIS Own Possession, zealous for Good Deeds. These things speak and exhort and reprove with all Authority. Let no one disregard you.' Titus 2:11-15 Hebrews 9:27-28, Jude:1-25. This man Charles Stanley, excepted by many, blindly, as a teacher of matters pertaining to GOD, truly does not know the things that he will make such confident assertions about and consequently he will often contradict himself. These are also Charles Stanley's words, “Eternal life is received by grace through faith. It is a once-and-for-all transaction that can never be undone. Because of the nature of God’s grace, once you become a Christian, you are always a Christian”. As the Scriptures here included show, these words of his also contradict what GOD HIMSELF, WHO Purchased HIS Church With HIS Own Blood (Acts 20:28, Revelation 2:8) and HIS Holy Apostles who also suffered and died that we might know, tell us, and all are in complete agreement with GOD and each other; according to Scripture; John 17, that we may know The Truth and be Saved. Charles Stanley clearly does not understand what constitutes a Saving faith. It is not as he himself says, as we have many warnings and examples of mans unfaithfulness to GOD and with them the warnings of consequence of following such examples of disobedience: it is death. How can he speak of the nature of GOD'S Grace when he does not understand The Way Of GOD in Truth? As our LORD JESUS Says, "And this is Eternal Life, that they may know THEE, The Only True GOD And JESUS CHRIST WHOM THOU Hast Sent..." John 17:3. To know HIM is to love HIM. To love HIM is to remain obedient to HIM and always seeking to do so. Along the way we will get it wrong, but GOD Gives repentance to that humble soul. This is Of HIS Grace To us In CHRIST JESUS. If we say we have not sinned, we make HIM a liar and HIS Word is not in us. "If you love ME you will keep MY Commandments." John 14:15. "He who has MY Commandments and keeps Them, he it is who loves ME; and he who loves ME shall be Loved By MY FATHER and I Will Love him and will disclose MYSELF To him." John 14:21. And as for this statement, 'once you become a Christian, you are always a Christian', there is not one verse in The whole Bible which states this in a true interpretation! Those who love HIM, those who know HIM and always seek to do HIS Will and according to HIS Word; who walk By The SPIRIT and not according to the flesh; these are Christians in truth; word and deed. But then Charles Stanley believes in two points of calvinism, those being, total depravity and perseverance of the Saints. Though the perseverance of the Saints he preaches does not actually concur with Scripture in truth either. Charles Stanley rejects the other three points of calvinism as not being Scripturally supported. I would reject the whole of calvinism because it is heresy. It does not align with The Word Of GOD In Truth. Stanley emphasizes that people are saved only by an act of Divine Grace which does not depend on any deeds of the individual believer and there is nothing they can do to influence their salvation. He takes this to the point that once a person is Saved there is nothing that 'believer' can do to forfeit their salvation, even if their living, word and deed, is contrary to the Scriptural Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT, that we may share GOD'S Holiness. Surely then this means living in hypocrisy, putting on an act of piety and is a complete contradiction to The Message Of The Gospel and of all Scripture, refusing the very real Work Of GOD in the heart of that humble soul who comes to HIM in full knowledge of his own wretchedness before A Holy GOD, and truly denies The Truth Of HIS Word that he may indeed be Conformed to The Image Of HIS SON, in Righteousness And Holiness Of The Truth. 'Pursue peace with all men and The Sanctification without which no one will see The LORD. See to it that no one comes short of The Grace Of GOD; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble and by it many be defiled;...' Hebrews 12:14-15.

"It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing; The Words That I Have Spoken To you are Spirit And Are Life."But there are some of you who do not believe." For JESUS Knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe and who it was that would betray HIM.And HE was Saying,"For this reason I Have Said To you, that no one can come to ME, unless it has been Granted him From The FATHER." As a result of this many of HIS disciples withdrew and were not walking with HIM anymore.JESUS Said therefore to the twelve,"You do not want to go away also, do you?" Simon Peter answered HIM,"LORD, to whom shall we go? YOU have The Words Of Eternal Life."And we have believed and have come to know that YOU Are The Holy ONE Of GOD." JESUS Answered them,"Did I MYSELF not Choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" Now HE meant Judas of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray HIM.John 6:63-71. Just as It Is Written here and Is Written throughout The Sacred Writings, 'It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing.' Some believe that verse 65 here, "For this reason I Have Said To you, that no one can come to ME, unless it has been Granted him From The FATHER.", speaks in a way that it is where certain beliefs such as calvinism will stand by its own doctrine. Though calvinism is not the reason I am writing here, I will just briefly make the valid point of what they believe for the point of its lie being known, according to Scripture, and not according to my own interpretation of it. Calvinism and those who believe like them stand on that they are chosen of GOD since before The Foundation Of the world because, to them, John 6:65, speaks plainly, in their own understanding, that those who believe in JESUS, as they do, have been granted their status as Saints and are Heaven bound.And in what is, before GOD, a most arrogant belief of theirs, there are those for whom it has not been granted them from The FATHER as has been to them; and that these have been born only to burn. They believe this even though GOD States throughout HIS Word that there is no partiality with HIM.(Deuteronomy 10:16-17, 2 Chronicles 19:6-7, Proverbs 24:21-26, Ezekiel 33:1-20, Matthew 22:16, Romans 2, Galatians 2:6, Galatians 6:7-8, Ephesians 6:5-10, 1 Peter 1:13-25). They believe this even though we are clearly instructed ourselves that we show no partiality,...Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also may be fearful.I solemnly charge you in The Presence Of GOD And Of CHRIST JESUS And of HIS Chosen angels, to maintain these without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.1 Timothy 5:20-21. And they will believe this, even though we are also told,But The Wisdom From Above is first Pure, then Peaceable, Gentle, Reasonable, full of Mercy and Good Fruits, Unwavering, without hypocrisy...James 3:17.Look at what each of these truly means, and of the first one named, of The Wisdom From Above being, Pure, to the last statement of It being, without hypocrisy. It is to know this, understanding that GOD Is Just And Righteous; HE Cannot lie; HE will not know to act in contradiction to HIS Word; and we are Called to be imitators of HIM (Ephesians 5:1-2); we are Called to die to sin that we may live to Righteousness (Romans 6:16-18). For The LORD Gives Wisdom; From HIS Mouth Knowledge And Understanding.HE Stores Up Sound Wisdom For the upright; HE Is A Shield To those who walk in integrity, Guarding The Paths Of Justice and HE Preserves the way of HIS Godly ones.Then you will discern Righteousness and Justice and Equity and every Good course...Proverbs 2:6-9 ...For the Scripture Says, "Whoever believes in HIM will not be disappointed."For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek (Gentile); for The Same Is LORD Of All, Abounding in Riches For all who call upon HIM; for "Whoever will call upon The Name Of The LORD will be Saved."...Romans 10:11-13. ...And my Message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but In demonstration Of The SPIRIT and Of Power, that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on The Power Of GOD. Yet we do speak Wisdom among those who are mature; A Wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak GOD'S Wisdom in a Mystery, the Hidden Wisdom, Which GOD Predestined before the ages to our Glory; which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood It, they would not have crucified The LORD Of Glory; but just as It Is Written,"Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard and which have not entered the heart of man, all that GOD Has Prepared For those who love HIM.But To us GOD Revealed Them Through The SPIRIT; for The SPIRIT Searches all things, even The Depths Of GOD...1 Corinthians 2 (v 4-10). Clearly then, this is a belief which goes against Scripture as shown here, albeit shown briefly, being a belief that is clearly contradicting The GOD Breathed Word in many places and with it the True Purpose Of GOD The FATHER, for the world, In HIS SON JESUS CHRIST The Righteous.(John 3:16-17, 1 John 2:1-3, 1 Timothy 4:10-11). "The person who sins will die.The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself. "But if the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and observes all MY Statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die."All his transgressions which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his righteousness which he has practiced, he will live (John 3:36, 2 Corinthians 5:14 - 6:10)."Do I Have any pleasure in the death of the wicked," Declares The LORD GOD, "rather than that he should turn from his ways and live?...Ezekiel 18 (v 20-23)(Lamentations 3:19-66, 2 Peter 3:8-9). But the reason I am here writing is to show from this Scripture in John towards those who have withdrawn from JESUS.That though they profess to believe in HIM and stand on HIS Name, they cannot even recognise to see that they are not walking with HIM anymore, they are not living truly confessing HIM before men. (Exodus 20:7, Matthew 7:21-23). And they walk standing on HIS Name falsely and in vain, through their luke-warmness (Revelation 3:14-22), and they have done so through their believing false teachings, being without Knowledge, misunderstanding and consequently misinterpreting The Scriptures and consequently their hearts are far from GOD, having become dull. With their lips they confess, but their hearts are far removed from GOD in their holding to doctrines and precepts of men, their love has grown cold and so they are walking in such a way and all the while being apart from repentance.And remaining so, they can never realise for themselves The Truth Which Leads to Life. And in their preaching and their open example of what is shown, given as what means to be a Christian, being seen and believed on by others, they are deceiving and being deceived away from The Truth as to what GOD States In HIS Word To all, Through HIS Holy Apostles and Prophets, all HE truly Has for those who love HIM and how The Testimony of this shall be seen and known. They are not walking with their spirit (sentiment element) being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT, but they are walking merely according to the flesh; and we are told, flesh and blood cannot Inherit The Kingdom Of GOD.The flesh cannot sanctify; but it is GOD Through HIS SPIRIT WHO Sanctifies, through faith (1 Corinthians 15:45-58). We are told in Scripture that believers reside here on earth as aliens; those, who though here in the world, are not walking as those who are of the world, always learning not to be as they once were in their ignorance to The Truth; that they look to no longer walk according to the deeds of the body and will always be walking looking not to do so.(2 Thessalonians 2:13 - 3:2).They shall know repentance when they stray from The Narrow Path, and this, to the overcoming of sin that they may share HIS Holiness (Romans 12:1-3). And it is these who stand in The Truth just as Truth Is In JESUS; who are Chosen according to The Foreknowledge Of GOD The FATHER By The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT and chosen in and by no other way, regardless of whatever else is preached and believed on; because this is what is contained in Scripture; and GOD'S children shall believe their FATHER, who are Chosen according to the Foreknowledge Of GOD The FATHER, By The Sanctifying Work Of The SPIRIT, that you may obey JESUS CHRIST And Be Sprinkled With HIS Blood: May Grace And Peace be yours in Fullest Measure. 1 Peter 1:2. Washed, Sanctified, Justified In the Name Of The LORD JESUS CHRIST And In The SPIRIT Of our GOD.It is GOD'S Way towards our full obedience to JESUS CHRIST; and so being Sprinkled With HIS Blood: having the Forgiveness of our sins (Revelation 1:5-6, 1 Corinthians 6:11). ...how much more will The Blood Of CHRIST, WHO Through The Eternal SPIRIT Offered HIMSELF Without blemish to GOD, Cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve The Living GOD?... Hebrews 9:14. Even so shall all be exposed in their distortion of The Scriptures and luke-warmness in how they believe and how they are walking, and with it the obvious Spiritual and eternal consequence of being Exposed By The Light, yet for the many, all the while choosing to be determined to remain apart from true repentance in it: the second death.(John 5:28-29, Ephesians 5:13-17, 2 Timothy 2:26 - 4:4, 2 Thessalonians 1). As The LORD JESUS Speaks; He who has ears to hear, let him hear. The reason The LORD JESUS Speaks as HE does, Written as we have as John 6:65, and John who wrote In The SPIRIT goes on to tell all ,'As a result of this many of HIS Disciples withdrew and were not walking with HIM anymore.',is because of the preceding words from verse 27, culminating in,"It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing; The Words That I Have Spoken To you are Spirit And Are Life."But there are some of you who do not believe." Today, some walk, continuing to believe of themselves and commending themselves as a Christian, but the truth is that when examined carefully, according to GOD and HIS Word, they are Shown not to be (2 Corinthians 13:5). "And A REDEEMER Will Come To Zion and To those who turn from transgression in Jacob," Declares The LORD."And as for ME, This Is MY Covenant With them," Says The LORD:"MY SPIRIT Which Is Upon you and MY Words Which I Have Put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring's offspring," Says The LORD, "From now and forever."Isaiah 59:20-21 Given this Prophetic Word Spoken through Isaiah of This New Covenant and of its fulfilment in those who truly enter into It in their turning from transgression, how is it that today and even for many centuries past, that those who profess to be Christian, (being the many thereof) will maintain division, cause and maintain strife in arrogance for what they believe of Scripture and of being a follower of CHRIST JESUS, when we are Called to be of the same mind and of the same judgement in Spiritual matters (1 Corinthians 1:10), when we are Called to be as One (John 17:22-23), Called to be of One heart and soul (Acts 4:32-35, Colossians 2:2-12), but yet they do not know to do these things, they do not know to live fulfilling such as these Scriptures, so that The Word truly bears Its Fruit in them in that they become, in that they prove to be, effectual doers of The Word?(1 Thessalonians 2:13, 1 Peter 1:22-25, Colossians 1:5-6, James 1:19-22). But these things are just not in them, but instead they are yet still being motivated, controlled, led by the flesh (1 Corinthians 3:1-11).We are not Called to remain on milk, but we are to grow to maturity and with maturity the Solid Food (Hebrews 5:7-14, Matthew 25:14-30). So who is the one lying in the witness they give in all they do and how they will so openly present themselves as being a Christian?(1 John 5:9-21). It is not GOD in HIS Word to us because it is impossible for GOD to lie."Sanctify them in The Truth; THY WORD Is Truth.." John 17:17. So it can only be those who live being in contradiction to HIS Word, through their not understanding, through their not being able to hear; because their hearts have become dull. ...And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears The Word and understands It; who indeed bears Fruit and brings forth, some a hundred fold, some sixty and some thirty." Matthew 13:23. "And they come to you as people come and sit before you as MY people and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires by their mouth, their heart goes after their gain."And behold, you are to them as a sensual song by one who has a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not practice them.Ezekiel 33:31-32 And JESUS Cried Out, "He who believes in ME does not believe in ME but in HIM WHO Sent ME."And he who beholds ME beholds The ONE WHO Sent ME."I Have Come As Light Into the world, that everyone who believes in ME may not remain in darkness."And if anyone hears MY Sayings and does not keep Them, I do not Judge him; for I did not Come to Judge the world, but to Save the world. "He who rejects ME and does not receive MY Sayings, has ONE WHO Judges him; The Word I Spoke Is What Will Judge him at The Last Day. "For I did not Speak on MY Own Initiative, but The FATHER HIMSELF WHO Sent ME Has Given ME Commandment, What To say And What To Speak."And I Know that HIS Commandment Is Eternal Life; therefore The Things I Speak, I Speak just as The FATHER Has Told ME."John 12:44-50 "Hear my words, you wise men and listen to me, you who know."For the ear tests words, as the palate tastes food."Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good.Job 34:2-4 ...Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable In THY Sight, O LORD, my ROCK And my REDEEMER.Psalm 19 (v 14). Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father and give attention that you may gain understanding.For I give you sound teaching; do not abandon my instruction.When I was a son to my father, tender and the only son in the sight of my mother,Then he taught me and said to me."Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments and live;Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding!Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth."Do not forsake her, and she will guard you;Love her and she will watch over you "The beginning of Wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding."Prize her and she will exalt you; she will honour you if you embrace her."She will place on your head a garland of grace; she will present you with a crown of beauty."Proverbs 4:1-9. The reason that no one can come to JESUS CHRIST unless it has been Granted him From The FATHER (John 6:37-40, & v 44-45 & v 51 & v 55-58, 1 Corinthians 10:21-22, 1 Corinthians 11:23-32) is because of their own heart; because of their own disbelief and their own choice of refusing The WORD Of GOD (John 1:1-5). ..."Not everyone who says to ME, 'LORD, LORD,' will enter The Kingdom Of Heaven; but he who does The Will Of MY FATHER WHO Is In Heaven... Matthew 7:21. This is how we are to understand John 6:65 as saying: It does not mean that some are Called and Chosen just because they themselves approve themselves and are commending themselves as a Christian whilst some are not even offered The Free Gift By The Grace Of GOD. But he who boasts, let him boast In The LORD.For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom The LORD Commends.2 Corinthians 10:17-18. Any are Chosen because they walk as faithful, so that they may know The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT in their own heart toward the very real Expectation (Christian Hope) that Righteousness brings. (Romans 5:1-2, Galatians 5:5, Romans 15:13, Colossians 1:3-23 & v 27, Titus 2, 2 Thessalonians 2:14-17, 1 John 3:1-10, Hebrews 6:17-20).Yet sadly still it is true, that many are Called, but few Chosen. For we through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The hope Of Righteousness. Galatians 5:5. The Chosen hear The Word in an honest and good heart and bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance (Luke 8:5-18, Matthew 13:4-23, Mark 4:3-25) Through their faithfulness, GOD Through HIS SPIRIT was Able to Cleanse their heart toward The Goal of our Instruction (1 Timothy 1:5) and so they knew to do do Good Works, not as by The Letter (Galatians 2:16-21, Galatians 3:21-27) but as it becoming their very nature to do so (Matthew 25:34-39, 2 Peter 1:2-4, Revelation 19:7-10).These are those who truly walk to know The Only True GOD And JESUS CHRIST WHOM HE Sent (John 17:3). ...So they will be Called oaks Of Righteousness, The Planting Of The LORD, that HE may be Glorified... Isaiah 61. And when they stumbled and got it wrong, when they sinned along the way, they, through Godly repentance (2 Corinthians 7:9-11) found GOD'S Grace was Sufficient For them in their overcoming sin and to the praise of HIS Glory. Learning to know how to walk as HIS child.Learning to know how to speak, think, act and how to consider within themselves as truly being imitators of GOD as Beloved children (Ephesians 5:1-2, 1 Corinthians 13). But who knows this process in their heart?It is not all who will profess The Name, is it?No!For,"Many are Called, but few Chosen."Matthew 7:13-27, Matthew 22:1-14, Revelation 19:7-10. ... Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being Renewed day by day... 2 Corinthians 4 (v 16). Those who are with HIM, spoken of in Scripture as yet still being future to us, are the Called and Chosen and faithful. Revelation 17:14. Called and Chosen because they were faithful, because through their faith, being according to GOD and all HIS Word in Truth, they knew The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT in their hearts; and thus their hearts were as One with each other, and so with GOD'S Heart. Now may The GOD Of Hope fill you with all Joy and Peace in believing, that you may abound In Hope By The Power Of The HOLY SPIRIT.Romans 15:13. As Paul says,But The Goal of our Instruction is love from a Pure heart (one that has been Cleansed) and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 1 Timothy 1 (v 5). "He who is Of GOD Hears The Words Of GOD; for this reason you do not hear, because you are not Of GOD."John 8:47 GOD Has Known from the beginning who they are who do not believe HIM and who they are, like Judas Iscariot who was Chosen as one of the twelve that the Scriptures might have Their Fulfilment (John 13:18, Acts 1:16, Psalm 109), who are those who will ultimately live to betray HIM.We all have free will and we are Instructed to be careful of how we walk, what we will listen to and in it who we believe. No one of us ourselves knows this of another, for GOD Alone Sees the end from the beginning, but we are Given, in Scripture, to know how to recognise those who walk in error and protocol in what to say and what to do in each and any circumstance as it arises, and more than this, we are Given The HOLY SPIRIT: The SPIRIT Of Truth, that we may fully know to do and be able to fully obey JESUS CHRIST (John 14:15-18). A slave will not be instructed by words alone; for though he understands, there will be no response.Proverbs 29:19. We need The HOLY SPIRIT, because we are helpless and hopeless on our own to establish The Law (Romans 3:31, Romans 13:8-10). ...For what The Law could not do, weak as It was through the flesh, GOD: Sending HIS Own SON in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, HE Condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to The SPIRIT...Romans 8 (v3-4). We do know what The Promise Of GOD Is: Eternal LifeAnd we are Given what the requirements are, written throughout The Scriptures in order that we might Receive The Promise by faith. But we need GOD in all things, that we may indeed Receive What Is Promised, By Grace through faith.Those who whole heartedly entrust their Spiritual well-being to GOD Through JESUS CHRIST, shall overcome to obtain as the outcome of their faith, The Salvation of their soul (1 Peter 1:3-25). Therefore having been Justified by faith, we have peace with GOD Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Through WHOM Also we have Obtained our Introduction by faith into this Grace in which we stand; and we exult in Hope Of The Glory Of GOD.And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about Perseverance; and Perseverance, proven Character; and proven Character, Hope; and Hope does not disappoint, because The Love Of GOD has been Poured Out within our hearts Through The HOLY SPIRIT WHO was Given To us. Romans 5:1-5. Nevertheless, The Firm Foundation Of GOD Stands, having This Seal,"The LORD Knows those who are HIS," and,"Let everyone who Name's The Name Of The LORD abstain from wickedness." Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honour and some to dishonour.Therefore, if a man cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honour, Sanctified, useful to The MASTER, prepared for every Good work...2 Timothy 2:19-21. For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are Chosen, that they may also Obtain the Salvation Which Is In CHRIST JESUS With Eternal Glory. It is a Trustworthy Statement:For if we died with HIM, we shall also live with HIM (1 Peter 4:1-2, Romans 6:1-18);If we endure, we shall also reign With HIM;If we deny HIM, HE Also Will deny us;If we are faithless, HE Remains Faithful; for HE cannot deny HIMSELF. Remind them of these things and solemnly charge in The Presence Of GOD not to wrangle about words, which is useless, to the ruin of the hearers.Be diligent to present yourself Approved to GOD as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately The Word Of Truth. 2 Timothy 2:10-15. Paul here writes to Timothy and to us also in The Foreknowledge Of GOD, to remember JESUS CHRIST, Risen from the dead, Descendant of David, for WHO he suffers hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal, though The Word Of GOD is not imprisoned. That he endured all things for the sake of those who are Chosen; that is, the Elect; in order for the result that they may indeed hit The Mark for The Salvation Which is In CHRIST JESUS With Eternal Glory (2 Timothy 2:1-10). This being those who indeed heed The Words of their LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST and take up their cross daily (Luke 14:26-35) and so live crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires (Romans 6:10-14, Galatians 5:22-26), which means those who indeed put on The LORD JESUS CHRIST and look to make no room for the flesh to its lusts (Romans 13:11-14), in their putting to death the deeds of the body By The SPIRIT (Romans 8:12-14), WHO HIMSELF Bares Witness to them that they are children Of GOD (Romans 8:16-17, 2 Corinthians 5:5, Ephesians 1:13-14); these bear the Testimony Of JESUS in themselves as they sojourn throughout this life (1 John 5:10, Revelation 19:10). For our proud confidence is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in Holiness and Godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom, but In The Grace Of GOD, we have conducted ourselves in this world,... 2 Corinthians 1:12 These are the ones who shall live With HIM; because these endure With HIM through the course of this life so as to be worthy to reign With HIM Eternally (2 Timothy 2:12, 1 John 1:9-10.). Those who deny HIM in this life are those who reject HIM in HIS Words (John 3:36, Matthew 7:21-27); who do not truly confess JESUS CHRIST in their living (Luke 12:8-12) and so, accordingly, in doing so they relinquish their faithfulness (Jonah 2:8, 1 John 5:18-21) and so they do not know and they cannot know The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT (Galatians 5:5); The Sanctification without Which no one will see The LORD (Hebrews 12:14-15): they do not believe so as to be Saved (John 11:25-26). "It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing; The Words That I Have Spoken To you are Spirit And Are Life."But there are some of you who do not believe." And we must never forget, what we do and do not do to or for HIS people, we do to or do not do, for HIM.(Acts 9:4-5, Acts 22:7-8, Acts 26:14-15, Matthew 25:40 & v 45-46).GOD Takes it Personally. Because CHRIST Loves The Church and we are members Of HIS Body. Ephesians 5:30 Because he who touches HIS people, touches The Apple Of HIS Eye (Zechariah 2:8). For even as the body (our own body) is one and has many members and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also Is CHRIST.For By ONE SPIRIT we were all Baptized Into One Body (CHRISTS), whether Jews or Greeks (Gentiles), whether slaves or free and we were Made to drink (we are Irrigated) of ONE SPIRIT.For The Body is not one member, but many... Corinthians 12:12-14 This, of course, means those who even profess to believe in and follow GOD (Romans 1:18-21) but yet still they will know to maintain division and strife (Jude:12-16), to revile and reject GOD'S Own people; HIS members of HIS Body, Of Which HE Is The Head, supposedly their own Brothers and Sisters, for whatever reason they will do so.And in doing so they are rejecting The GOD Breathed Word and so are rejecting The GOD WHOM they claim faith in (2 Corinthians 2:10-11). But in whatever reason they do so through their unknowing of the Oneness of the Spiritual heart of the Elect in Truth (Colossians 2:2-7), through their unknowingly judging, arrogantly condemning and refusing to pardon in any mistakes made or mistakes seen in their own judgements of what constitutes a transgression which they see or consider to be seen (Galatians 6:1-5, Luke 6:37-38); not knowing grace themselves (Colossians 4:6), not knowing mercy themselves (James 2:12-13), not knowing love (1 Peter 4:7-11, Galatians 5:13-15); and so still further being apart from Godly repentance themselves, they are all the while negating The Grace Of GOD toward themselves and with this HIS Mercy, HIS Love, which is all Freely Offered through The faith that is found in The Truth. "A New Commandment I Give To you, that you love one another, even as I Have Loved you, that you also love one another."By this all men will know that you are MY Disciples, if you have love for one another."John 13:34-35. ...for all have sinned and fall short of The Glory Of GOD... Romans 3:23. Thus Says The LORD,"Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30-31) and let not the mighty man boast of his might (2 Corinthians 10:17-18, Psalm 73:26-28), let not a rich man boast of his riches (Luke 12:15-34); but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands ME (Proverbs 17:14-17), that I AM The LORD WHO Exercises Lovingkindness, Justice and Righteousness on earth; for I Delight in These Things." Declares The LORD. Jeremiah 9:23-24. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly (Romans 11:16-21); and circumcision is that which is of the heart(2 Corinthians 3:2-6), By The SPIRIT, not by The Letter(Galatians 5:16-18); and his praise is not from men, but From GOD.Romans 2:29. My Brethren, if any among you strays from The Truth, and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins. James 5:19-20 "It Is The SPIRIT WHO Gives Life; the flesh profits nothing; The Words That I Have Spoken To you are Spirit And Are Life.But there are some of you who do not believe." For JESUS Knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe and who it was that would betray HIM.And HE was Saying,"For this reason I Have Said To you, that no one can come to ME, unless it has been Granted him From The FATHER." As a result of this many of HIS disciples withdrew and were not walking with HIM anymore.JESUS Said therefore to the twelve,"You do not want to go away also, do you?" Simon Peter answered HIM,"LORD, to whom shall we go? YOU have The Words Of Eternal Life."And we have believed and have come to know that YOU Are The Holy ONE Of GOD." JESUS Answered them,"Did I MYSELF not Choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" Now HE meant Judas of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray HIM.John 6:63-71.

The other morning I opened to and began to read from John 8:54. Just as The LORD JESUS Speaks, it is supposed to be the same for us. It is supposed to be, but it is not. If we glorify ourselves our glory is nothing. It is GOD WHO does this, exalts us, shows us to be true, yet in humility we continue our walk, according to HIS Purpose. Reading on and John 9:16 spoke to me too, that there was division, because in the Pharisees own understanding of what keeping the Sabbath meant to them, they were openly refusing JESUS to this man who had just been Healed By HIM of his blindness. Very sadly it is like this in the Church today. People who profess to believe in GOD openly glorify themselves, justifying themselves, justifying the teaching they will follow, and in their blindness to The Truth they are causing division in The Church Which GOD Purchased With HIS Own Blood, because they claim to follow GOD, yet walk merely in and by their own understanding and interpretations of Spiritual matters. Yet it is supposed to be for us just as JESUS Said of HIMSELF, "It Is MY FATHER WHO Glorifies ME, Of WHOM you say, 'HE Is our GOD.' Our LORD JESUS Warns us all, Written in Luke 12, beginning with warning, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. "But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known."Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light and whatever you have whispered in the inner rooms shall be proclaimed upon the house tops. "And I Say To you, MY friends (John 15:14), do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. "But I Will Warn you WHOM to fear; fear The ONE WHO after HE has Killed Has Authority To Cast into Hell; yes, I Tell you, fear HIM... Luke 12:1-5. We cannot hide anything from GOD (Job 34:21-23) and we are warned, throughout Scripture, of how we actually do walk, all the days we sojourn here on earth. Paul writes in his letter to the Beloved in Rome, and in The Foreknowledge Of GOD to us also, ...And do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgement upon those who practice such things (See Romans 1:18-32) and do the same, that you will escape The Judgement Of GOD? Or do you think lightly of The Riches Of HIS Kindness And Forebearance And Patience, not knowing that The Kindness Of GOD Leads you to repentance? But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up Wrath for yourself in The Day Of Wrath And Revelation Of The Righteous Judgement Of GOD, WHO Will Render To every man according to his deeds; To those who by perseverance in doing good seek for Glory and Honour and Immortality, Eternal Life; but those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey The Truth, but obey unrighteousness, Wrath And Indignation. Tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek (Gentile), but Glory and Honour and Peace To every man who does good, To the Jew first and also To the Greek. For there is no partiality with GOD...Romans 2:1-16 (v3-11). For from of old they have not heard nor perceived by ear neither has the eye seen A GOD besides THEE, WHO Acts In Behalf of the one who waits for HIM. THOU Dost Meet him who delights in doing Righteousness, who remembers THEE in THY Ways... Isaiah 64:4-5a ...for not the hearers of The Law are just before GOD, but the doers of The Law will be Justified. Romans 2:13. (Romans 3:31). Some of the false teachings believed on by many determine that our Salvation is already accomplished by GOD and by us. But it is not yet obtained by us. On this GOD'S Word is absolutely Clear. Our LORD JESUS CHRIST Abolished death and Brought Life and Immortality To Light Through The Gospel (2 Timothy 1:7-11), but ours is to live to know GOD in this life (John 17:3); obeying The Gospel Of our LORD JESUS, walking In HIM and HE in us, that we may truly follow in HIS Steps. 1 John 2:1-7. "Behold, GOD Is my Salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for The LORD GOD Is my Strength And Song And HE Has Become my Salvation. Isaiah 12 (v2). "HE Is The Stone Which was rejected by you, the builders, Which Became The Very Corner Stone. "And there is Salvation in no one else; for there is no other Name under Heaven that has been Given among men, By Which we must be Saved." Acts 4:11-12. It is a constant all the days of our lives. Our obedience in The Gospel Is The Power Of GOD For Salvation To everyone who believes, because through our obedience, By HIS SPIRIT (John 14:16-18, Romans 8:12-17) we die to sin to live to Righteousness; being of The faith we grow; from faith and living towards faith. Protected By The Power Of GOD through that faith: 1 Peter 1:4-5. For I am not ashamed of The Gospel, for It Is The Power Of GOD For Salvation To everyone who believes, To the Jew first and also To the Greek (Gentile). For In It Righteousness Of GOD Is Revealed from faith to faith; as It Is Written, "But the Righteous shall live by faith." Romans 1:16-17 ...And this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep; for now Salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone and the day is at hand. Let us therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on The Armor Of Light. Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on The LORD JESUS CHRIST and make no provision for the flesh in regard to lusts. Romans 13:8-14 (v11-14). But since we are of the day, let us be self-controlled, having put on The Breast Plate of faith and love and as a helmet, The Hope Of Salvation. For GOD has not destined us for Wrath, but for Obtaining Salvation Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO Died For us...1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 (v8-9a) But we should always give thanks to GOD for you, Brethren Beloved By The LORD, because GOD Has Chosen you from the beginning for Salvation Through Sanctification By The SPIRIT And faith in The Truth. And it was for This HE Called you Through our Gospel, that you may Gain The Glory Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. So then, Brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions Which you were taught, whether by word or by letter from us...2 Thessalonians 2:13-15. What many who follow false teachings, (whether that be calvinism, once saved always saved, eternal security, and whatever else there is being contrary to Sound Words, those Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST And The Doctrine Conforming to Godliness), fail to understand, is that In CHRIST we have Redemption Through HIS Blood, the Forgiveness of our trespasses, according to The Riches Of HIS Grace (Ephesians 1:7), and we enter into This Grace and remain standing in This Grace through faith alone; from the day we first believed and were born again; fleshly to Spiritual (Romans 5:1-5). Hebrews 10:29. We cannot receive The Grace Of GOD in vain, (2 Corinthians 6:1-10) in our looking to uphold that which is not Of GOD, being that which contradicts HIS Word To us (1 Peter 2:6-8). If anything believed on and held to which contradicts GOD'S Word in Its True Interpretation; according to GOD, then it shall prove to be of no benefit to the one who has blindly followed it and has lived blindly refusing The GOD they claimed faith in. For in this refusal they have refused HIS Sanctifying Work: The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT WHO Is Given To us as A Pledge Of The Inheritance. Many false teachings in their doctrines fail to accomodate those who fall away. Some will even refuse, because of their false doctrine held to, believing of themselves that it is impossible for them to forfeit their Salvation; for them to fall away. But in this, they cannot see that in their belief they are actually refusing GOD in the first place and that in all their living, all their preaching, it amounts to nought but death. They are of those who, having once believed on the day they first believed and since that beginning, they have fallen away from The Truth and look to teach others in their way also.And then this Scripture, Luke 11:52, becomes true of them, "Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away The Key Of Knowledge; you did not enter in yourselves and those who were entering in you hindered." They just did not know repentance and it was for whatever reason it was that they did not know true repentance. They were deceived, not adhering to The Word Of Truth in order to be Saved, (2 Timothy 3:12-17). They did not hear GOD'S Word so as to bear Good fruit, (Matthew 13, Mark 4:1-32, Luke 8:4-21). They did not hear HIS Voice so as to follow HIM, but instead they listened to and heard the voices of strangers, (John 10:1-30). They sought for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, (2 Timothy 4:1-4). They turned The Grace Of GOD into licentiousness and denied our only MASTER And LORD, JESUS CHRIST, (Jude). Take heed for yourself in your walk, because as Paul's Prophetic Word says, ...from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. (Acts 20:28-32). These were once 'born again' on the day they first believed.Born again meaning born anew, from the beginning; fleshly to Spiritual: John 3:6, but they fell away. Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things; for as you do this you will insure Salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you. 1 Timothy 4:16. Romans 10:6-11; faith results in Salvation, it is a walk of faith towards faith in the obtaining of our Salvation, just as Scripture states, and not accomplished on the day we first believed as some will believe and then preach and teach. But rather Salvation is dependant upon how one subsequently then walks; John 3:8. Faith. Their hearts proved not to be hearts after GOD'S Heart. They prove themselves bastards; illegitimate children (Hebrews 12:4-15) through their following a lie and refusing correction, refusing to listen to The Truth Of Scripture and to align all they believed in with The GOD Breathed Word so that they hold not one contradiction in their belief in all The Word Of GOD: The Bible. This can be a mistake of those who will all too quickly look for teachers before their first and foremost trusting, through faith, in The LORD their GOD to Teach and Guide them and their looking to align all they hear with GOD'S Word, so that they may indeed be able to hear to discern The Truth from the lie in all that they hear. To confess JESUS CHRIST means to assent to JESUS, to acknowledge HIM, to speak and walk the same as HIM. This is what The LORD JESUS Is Saying in Luke 12:8-12, that if we confess HIM before men then HE Will Confess/Acknowledge us before the angels Of GOD. Look to the Scripture we have written as Matthew 13:36-43. The angels are the reapers. They will gather out of HIS Kingdom all stumbling blocks and those who commit lawlessness and will cast them into the furnace of fire. And as The Scripture continues, "Then the Righteous will shine forth as the sun In The Kingdom Of their FATHER. He who has ears, let him hear." Matthew 13:43. These are the ones who confessed JESUS CHRIST before men and so HE Confessed them before the angels Of GOD. These are the ones who called on The Name Of The LORD in Truth; these are the ones Declared Righteous by their LORD And their GOD WHOM they served in their spirit and in Truth. For such as these The FATHER Seeks to be HIS worshipers (John 4:23-24). But many do not understand what means to blaspheme The HOLY SPIRIT. A true Christian will know not do this.One with ears to hear will know true repentance in their walk so as to remain standing in The Grace Of GOD through that Saving faith. It is not, it is not, that those who profess to be Christian cannot be then found to be blaspheming The HOLY SPIRIT. Because many who profess faith in GOD most certainly do. How else do we get the false teachings we are warned to recognise and to turn away from throughout The Scriptures? These which, by following them, those who profess The Name will still openly and blindly walk and speak, believe and behave contrary to JESUS CHRIST and not know either correction By The SPIRIT or the repentance required (2 Corinthians 7:9-11). And all by following the false teachings of which GOD Says To us Throughout HIS Word, that those who follow them are accursed, meaning devoted to destruction (Galatians 1:6-12). How else do we get division in The Body Of CHRIST, HIS Church, but being through these false doctrines? And all, just as the Disciples we read of and from in The Holy Scriptures warn us against. Why then does Peter write to the Beloved; those who are In Christ in Truth and consequently HE In them (John 14:20-24), to say of Paul's letters, ...in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own Destruction. You therefore, Beloved (meaning loved Of GOD), knowing this beforehand, be on your guard lest, being carried away by the error of unprincipled men, you fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in The Grace And Knowledge Of our LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. To HIM The Glory, both now and to The Day Of Eternity. Amen. The Word Of GOD Is just that: The GOD Breathed Word; penned by men Moved By The HOLY SPIRIT, Spoke From GOD. I say and say to all who will read here, read these Scriptures so that you may gain understanding. Here I will show you of what means to blaspheme The HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Samuel 23:2-5, Jeremiah 23:28, Luke 1:68-75, Acts 1:16, Acts 28:25-28, Hebrews 3:7-19, Hebrews 10:14-31, 2 Peter 1:20-21). To repudiate The GOD Breathed Word is blasphemy (Acts 13:45-46). The Apostle Paul, when he was known as Saul, blasphemed JESUS in his persecuting The Church (1 Timothy 1:13, Acts 9:4-5). James writes of those who blaspheme HIS Name By Which they were Called, in this example, being rich believers who oppress the poor (James 2:5-7). The Apostle Paul writes of Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom he delivered over to satan, so that they may be taught not to blaspheme, because they were not keeping faith and a good conscience (1 Timothy 1:5), and so had suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith (1 Timothy 1:18-20). He did not do this for their destruction, but the destruction of their flesh, that they may be taught not to blaspheme, so ultimately it is for their upbuilding and not for their tearing down (2 Corinthians 13). This is something we never hear spoken of in The Church today, because today, of our keeping faith and a good conscience we just do not realise and understand what a Saving faith is and means before GOD and consequently the conduct of the believer in the world. We are Called to be imitators of CHRIST (1 Corinthians 10:32 - 11:1). And this, being proven day by day all over the world when each one does not keep faith and a good conscience according to GOD through their not looking to be as GOD Calls us to be and all we will accept being in accordance with GOD and insisting all to be fully aligned with HIS Word (Psalm 146). We are supposed to be HIS Work and a Work in continual progress (2 Corinthians 4 & 5). Paul writes, admonishing believers to be worthy of all honour so that The Name Of GOD and Doctrine may not be blasphemed (1 Timothy 6:1). The LORD JESUS Says that everyone who will speak a word against The SON Of Man, it shall be Forgiven him. This is because GOD Gives repentance: Godly repentance, which means turning to GOD in the manner Written in 2 Corinthians 7:9-11, and nothing short of it. This will mean forsaking whatever is not Of GOD and HIS Way, whether that be sins of the flesh or believing what is not according to Sound Doctrine, not keeping hold of these and so not forsaking HIS Way in Truth (Psalm 51). The LORD JESUS goes on to say; "but whoever blasphemes against The HOLY SPIRIT, it shall not be Forgiven him" (Luke 12:10, Mark 3:29). To blaspheme The HOLY SPIRIT is to repudiate The GOD Breathed Word and never knowing repentance in it, but to continue til death not living by and how GOD States, but instead refusing HIM (Matthew 4:4), and consequently refusing HIS Sanctifying Work in your heart. It is those who live believing in HIM who shall live even if they die, because everyone who lives and believes in HIM shall never die (John 11:25-26). This is what we believe and because we believe according to GOD, because we love HIM, we Receive what HE Promised To those who love HIM: Eternal Life. 2 Thessalonians 2:13 - 3:5. The LORD JESUS CHRIST in The Days Of HIS Flesh Walked By The HOLY SPIRIT and Spoke The Words Given HIM From The FATHER Only (Luke 4:18-19, John 8:25-29, John 12:44-50). HE, as an example to us, that we do the same (Galatians 5:5, Galatians 5:16-26, 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14). This is why It Is Written, that The Hope for us, Laid Up In Heaven Which we hear in The Word Of Truth, The Gospel, Which has Come to us, and in us is constantly bearing Fruit (Colossians 1:5), this, being In CHRIST, after we have listened to The Message Of Truth, The Gospel Of our Salvation - having also believed; and thus being Sealed With The HOLY SPIRIT Of Promise WHO Is Given As A Pledge of our Inheritance with a view to The Redemption Of Possession to The Praise Of HIS Glory (Ephesians 1:13-14), by our not walking in craftiness or adulterating The Word Of GOD, but By Manifestation Of The Truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience In The Sight Of GOD (2 Corinthians 4:2). This being in Purity, in Knowledge, in Patience, in Kindness, In The HOLY SPIRIT, in genuine love, in The Word Of Truth, In The Power Of GOD; By The Weapons Of Righteousness for the right hand and the left (2 Corinthians 6:6-7). This is Of those Chosen Of GOD for Salvation Through Sanctification By The SPIRIT And faith in The Truth. And it was for This HE Called you Through our Gospel, that you may Gain The Glory Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST (1 Thessalonians 2:13-14). Of those who do not know to do this, who walk contrary to GOD, refusing The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT, refusing HIS Word In Truth, these will pay the penalty of eternal Destruction, away from The Presence Of The LORD And From The Glory Of HIS Power, when HE Comes to be Glorified in HIS Saints (Saint, meaning, separated from sin and therefore Consecrated to GOD) on That Day and to be marveled at by all who have believed. It is to this end that GOD may Count us worthy of our Calling and fulfill every desire for goodness and The Work Of faith With Power; in order that The Name Of our LORD JESUS may be Glorified in us and we In HIM, according to The Grace Of GOD And The LORD JESUS CHRIST. (2 Thessalonians 1:9-12). Again, those that revile the things which they do not understand but instead follow the things which they know by their instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are Destroyed (The Wrath Of GOD Abides On the sons of disobedience; Ephesians 5:3-7, Colossians 3:5-6). These men are those who are hidden reefs in your love feasts (tares among wheat; Matthew 13:24-30) when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds (false doctrine); autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted (John 15:3-6); wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been Reserved forever (Jude). For if after they have escaped the defilements of the world by The Knowledge Of The LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would be better for them not to have known The Way Of Righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from The Holy Commandment Delivered To them. It has happened to them according to the true Proverb, "A dog returns to its own vomit," and "A sow, after washing, to wallowing in the mire."2 Peter 2:20-22. These have blasphemed The HOLY SPIRIT, refusing The Word; refusing Sanctification and faith in The Truth. Clearly, Scripture here states of those, who once escaped the defilements of the world By The Knowledge Of The LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, professing Christians, and we can, contrary to statements in beliefs of many who follow false teachings which will teach otherwise, can and do fall away (Hebrews 6:1-8). To refuse this is clearly to contradict The Word Of GOD and in doing so it is to call GOD a liar. These have refused GOD.These have lived blaspheming The HOLY SPIRIT in their repudiating The Word in their refusal of The GOD Breathed Word. Beliefs and 'faiths' being contrary to what GOD States in the matter often come from their misunderstanding of 2 Corinthians 5:17-19. But they cannot hear the Chastising Of The HOLY SPIRIT as they believe they will hear, because they walk believing contrary to GOD and so walk not being Led By HIM. GOD Gives The HOLY SPIRIT To those who obey HIM (Acts 5:32) and there will be a clear difference in what is believed, held to and accepted between those who walk being Led By HIM (John 7:37-39, Romans 8:16, 1 Corinthians 2:6 - 3:3) and their conduct, compared to those who are refusing HIM in their beliefs through following a false doctrine for their learning and what they will accept in teachings, words and conduct. These who, consequently, in being apart from repentance, are walking along the broad way that leads to Destruction (Matthew 7:13-27), and in doing so become stumbling blocks to others (Matthew 18:1-10, Luke 17:1-10). They do not hear or understand what "The Word Of Reconciliation" truly is and means. They cannot see that those who follow false teachings have refused reconciliation and their truly being reconciled to GOD through their repudiating HIS Word in Truth and consequently actually not believing JESUS CHRIST (1 John 5:9-12). The Testimony Of JESUS Shall be in the true believer. The ruler of this world has nothing in HIM. HIS sheep hear HIS Voice and HE Knows them and they follow HIM; and HE Gives Eternal Life to them and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of HIS Hand. What The FATHER Has Given HIM Is Greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of The FATHER'S Hand. JESUS MESSIAH And The FATHER Are ONE. We are One With HIM, In HIM. Those who will refuse such as the Scriptures shared here are those who attempt self-justification by their not understanding and their refusal to align all they will believe and accept with The GOD Breathed Word Only. They distort the Scriptures to fit their beliefs, as opposed to seeking GOD and HIS Word In Truth for understanding so that they may know HIM. And yet to know HIM Is indeed Eternal Life (John 17:3). And they will reject those who attempt to show them; just as the Pharisees rejected GOD'S MESSIAH. Who will bring a charge against GOD'S Elect? GOD Is The ONE WHO Justifies; who is the one who condemns? Romans 8:33. As GOD Is The ONE WHO Justifies, how can any determine, as some will, who are those who are the 'false converts', as they say, or rather, those who have fallen away, which some will either speak of or refuse; and this being in their own justification of themselves and in their own teaching, yet according to themselves never being of themselves? ...But he who boasts, let him boast in The LORD.For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom The LORD Commends.2 Corinthians 10:17-18. Is it really those who do not agree with them who are false? Or is it truthfully those who repudiate The Word Of GOD? Yes, it is those who repudiate The Word Of GOD who are false brethren; deceiving and being deceived. The LORD my GOD Says, "You will know them by their fruits." And we align all things with The Word Of GOD only. These false teachers and their followers do not fear GOD when HE Says that we shall give an account to HIM even of every careless word spoken. They do not even recognise the Scriptures that Speak the warning as applying to them and to every soul of man. And that, without partiality. But all Scripture does apply to all and without partiality. No man is above The Scriptures. Matthew 12:33-37, Ecclesiastes 12:13-14. What then of this Scripture, and those Scriptures that Speak like it? Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been Approved (Of GOD), he will Receive The Crown Of Life, Which The LORD Has Promised To those who love HIM. James 1:12 And this, "If you love ME, you will keep MY Commandments. "And I Will Ask The FATHER And HE Will Give you Another Helper, that HE may Be With you forever; The SPIRIT Of Truth, WHOM the world cannot Receive, because it does not behold HIM or know HIM. You know HIM because HE Abides With you and will be in you. John 14:15-17. And what of Paul, I have fought the Good Fight, I have finished The Course (2 Timothy 2:5, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27), I have kept The faith; in the future there is Laid Up For me The Crown Of Righteousness, Which The LORD, The Righteous Judge, will Award To me on That Day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved HIS Appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8. So given all of this, who are those who walk Saved? As I have shown here, it is those who live to fulfill these Scriptures, 2 Corinthians 4:2, 2 Corinthians 6:7, Ephesians 1:13, Colossians 1:5, 1 Thessalonians 2:13-14. Who may ascend into The Hill Of The LORD? And who may stand in HIS Holy Place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood and has not sworn deceitfully. He shall Receive A Blessing From The LORD And Righteousness From The GOD Of HIS Salvation. This Is the generation of those who seek HIM, who seek THY Face - Jacob. [Selah.Psalm 24:3-6. It is by Faith in JESUS CHRIST being in accordance with all HIS Word through which GOD Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT that we may fully obey JESUS CHRIST And Be Sprinkled With HIS Blood; being mindful of how we walk, being as wise men and not as the unwise; always looking to keep a clear conscience before both GOD and man. This is how we will know for certain, and it is a beautiful way to live and to learn to live, By Grace Through faith; a Blessing and and Honour even to suffer for HIS Name's Sake that HE Be Glorified. 2 Corinthians 6:1-10. Those who live bastardizing and quoting as being a proof of their belief the Scripture of Romans 8:35-39, believing that here it is written that they cannot forfeit Salvation, what they fail to see is that the one thing not mentioned in this passage is sin. It is not mentioned by Paul here in his writing, In The SPIRIT, because sin separates. To see how ridiculous this interpretation of theirs is of these five verses found at the end of Romans chapter 8, that not only does their belief contradict Scripture elsewhere in The Sacred Writings, you just need to look back in that same chapter and read the first fourteen verses to see, we are Called to die to sin; we cannot remain in sin. Isaiah 59. All unrighteousness is sin and we are Called to take up our cross daily so that we may indeed die to sin (Luke 14:26-35). And everyone who has This Hope fixed on HIM Purifies himself, just as HE Is Pure.1 John 3:1-10. We cannot earn our Salvation. We are Saved By Grace Through faith. By Grace you have been Saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is The Gift Of GOD; not as a result of works, that no one should boast (Ephesians 2:8-10). But being Of The faith means our recognising sin, our hating sin, our repenting of sin, our dying to sin, that we may truly live to Righteousness. The Work Of GOD is that we believe in HIM WHOM HE Has Sent (John 6:28-29). If we confess our sins, HE Is Faithful And Righteous To Forgive us our sins and to Cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make HIM a liar and HIS Word is not in us... 1 John 1:9-10. Clearly then, confession of our sin, when we sin, is all part of The faith. (1 John 2:1-2, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Titus 3:5-8). This has been shown here in the Scriptures shared. The Purpose Of GOD In CHRIST JESUS is that we die to sin that we may indeed live to Righteousness, (Romans 6:15-18, 1 Corinthians 15:48-49) being truly Conformed to HIS Image (Romans 8:29-30, 1 Corinthians 11:1). It is for this reason that HE Came (1 John 3:3-10). That through our faith, meaning the faithfulness of those who professes faith in CHRIST, which is required by us (2 Timothy 2:12), GOD Gives The HOLY SPIRIT so that we may indeed obey JESUS CHRIST and be Sprinkled With HIS Blood (1 Peter 1:2). If we refuse to live so that GOD may Work in our hearts through faith, then we shall die. (Romans 8:12-14). So it is never a matter of earning our Salvation back as these false teachings will uphold in their accusation against The Truth to those who refuse them and try to show them GOD'S Truth, through their not understanding The Truth, but is of faith in GOD, that By HIS Grace, we are Released from our sins By HIS Blood (Revelation 1:5-6). And this, to the point that sin is no more a master over us (Romans 6:14, 1 Peter 1:13-25). If we say that we have fellowship with HIM and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice The Truth; but if we walk in The Light as HE HIMSELF Is In The Light, we have fellowship with one another and The Blood Of JESUS HIS SON Cleanses us from all sin.1 John 1:6-7. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking The Truth in love, we are to grow up in all into HIM, WHO Is The Head, CHRIST, From WHOM The Whole Body, being Fitted and Held Together by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the Growth of The Body for the Building Up of Itself in love.Ephesians 4 (v14-16). May it be so. Amen.

Easter and its origin.I write this so that anyone may see what it is they are partaking of, in truth, when they enter into celebrating and even choose to defend their celebration of what we know as easter.Without using the name of a false god; being in accordance with GOD and HIS Word To us: Exodus 23:13, Joshua 23:7, Psalm 16:4; Ephesians 5:7-17,Easter: Origin before 900 AD. Anglo-Saxon Christians adopted the name of a goddess of fertility and sunrise whose feast was celebrated at the spring equinox.They adopted her name, from where comes 'easter', and many of the celebratory practices for their mass of CHRIST'S Resurrection.Ultimately related to east. Almost all neighbouring languages use a variant of Pasche to name this holiday.In The Holy Scriptures, the word in Acts 12:4 translated as easter in the kjv is, Phonetic: Pas-Khah. Transliteration: Pascha. This indeed means, 'Passover' The complete Jewish Bible has the word Pesach in Acts 12:4. Vines expository dictionary, of the word easter;'mistranslated "easter" in Acts 12:4 , A.V., denotes The Passover ( R.V. ).The phrase 'after the Passover' signifies after the whole festival was at an end.The term easter is not of Christian origin. It is another form of ------, one of the titles of the Chaldean goddess, the (supposed) queen of heaven.The festival of Pasch held by Christians in post apostolic times was a continuation of the Jewish Feast, but was not instituted by CHRIST, nor was it connected with Lent.From this Pasch the pagan festival of easter was quite distinct and was introduced into the apostate western religion, as part of the attempt to adapt pagan festivals to Christianity.' As Christians, it is not to allow the god of this world to blind our eyes and harden our hearts in fruitless debates and arguments through allegiances to anything not Of GOD. Ours is to serve CHRIST JESUS As LORD and The WORD and Purpose Of GOD in Truth.Contentions and all that is contrary to GOD; contrary to The Way will arise when we take our eyes away from our LORD And SAVIOUR in the pursuit of anything that is not Of HIM, being of no benefit in relation to our Sanctification and Salvation.But instead it is to the detriment of those who will blindly follow and in doing so allowing the flesh to prevail in words and deeds. Galatians 6:7-8. The HOLY SPIRIT Will Guide us into All Truth; By Grace through faith.HE does not Lead when our flesh and its wisdom prevails and its deeds and wisdom are our motivation and leading, Isaiah 64:6, Romans 7:18; our natural fleshly state while we walk being apart from HIM. Acts 5:32.HE Leads our spirit: our sentient element, when by faith, in humility and love for GOD we allow HIM to Lead, so that GODS Nature is allowed, through obedience, to prevail in us, through us, in Righteousness And Holiness Of The Truth. For we Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for the Hope Of Righteousness. Galatians 5:5. Romans 8:1-8, Ephesians 4:17-24. Please, please, read these to understand what I am saying, rather than standing on what you know and believe. This is a mistake mere meaningless religion will make. Because it is clear, some who believe that they understand do not understand in accordance with GOD'S Way in Truth and after GOD'S Heart. The truth of our union with GOD Through CHRIST JESUS our LORD is a relationship and not mere religion.Pause on Romans 8:5 to what is actually being stated, and again at Ephesians 4:23.Then read Romans 12. As Christians; followers of JESUS CHRIST, we are not to preach ourselves, our own beliefs, but CHRIST JESUS As LORD. To call HIM LORD means to call HIM MASTER and obedience to HIM; word and deed.HE Will Disclose; Manifest, Declare HIMSELF plainly to those who truly love HIM. John 14:21-24.John 17:3.GOD Teaches us. We do not, in humility, preach, teach and uphold our own beliefs and interpretations.The Pharisees did this; Matthew 5:20, and onwards. We are to be perfect, as our Heavenly FATHER Is Perfect (Matthew 5:48). Luke 6:39-40.Upholding our own beliefs and interpretations of Scripture is how sects and accordingly division come into being. Galatians 5:19-21. The Pharisees' traditions were shown By our LORD JESUS to be not of GOD'S Way in Truth, but as it was, what they knew and loved they chose to remain in, to their rejecting of GOD'S MESSIAH.Let us not follow the same example of disobedience. Colossians 2:15-17. 1 Corinthians 9:24 - 10:22. For we do not preach ourselves but CHRIST JESUS As LORD and ourselves as your bond-servants for JESUS' Sake. 2 Corinthians 4:5. ...to those who have Received a faith of the same kind as ours, by The Righteousness Of our GOD And SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST:Grace and Peace be Multiplied To you in The Knowledge Of GOD and Of JESUS our LORD;seeing that HIS Divine Power has Granted To us everything pertaining to Life and Godliness, through the True Knowledge Of HIM WHO Called us By HIS Own Glory And Excellence.For by these HE Has Granted To us HIS Precious and Magnificent Promises, in order that by Them you might become partakers of Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence and in moral excellence, knowledge;and in knowledge, self-control and in self-control, perseverance and in perseverance, Godliness; and in Godliness, Brotherly Kindness and in Brotherly Kindness, love.For if these are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in The True Knowledge Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.For he who lacks these is blind short-sighted, having forgotten Purification from his former sins.Therefore, Brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about HIS Calling and Choosing you (Revelation 17:14, Matthew 22:14); for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;for in This Way the Entrance Into The Eternal Kingdom Of our LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST will be Abundantly Supplied To you. 2 Peter 1:1-11. Observances of days and festivals not ordained By GOD are of no benefit to any in relation to Salvation. If I am wrong then show me from GOD'S Word.And if you cannot, why should any who profess faith in The Only True GOD then religiously practice them?Rather, hear GOD and all HE Says in relation to Salvation. Because HE never Speaks meaningless words.GOD The FATHER Tells us to believe in and listen to HIS Beloved SON (2 Peter 1:16-19, Matthew 17:5, Mark 9:7), And HIS Beloved SON, JESUS The SAVIOUR Of the world Tells us to live believing in HIM (John 11:25-26), that through faith in HIM The HOLY SPIRIT Guides and Sanctifies to Eternal Life (John 7:37-39, John 14:16-18), so that CHRIST may Dwell in our hearts through faith; in order to be stable in love; being the fulfilment of The Law. Ephesians 3:14-21. Romans 13:8-14.Ours is that we may be able to comprehend, to know to understand the love that surpasses knowledge.It does not come through observances of man made festivals derived from false gods whilst remaining ignorant to The True Purpose Of GOD In CHRIST JESUS. Romans 8:28-29.This is Eternal Life: John 17:3, Jeremiah 9:23-24, Hebrews 8:11-12, 2 Corinthians 4:6, 1 John 5:20.Test yourselves if you are in The faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognise this about yourselves, that JESUS CHRIST is in you - unless indeed you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5.You may hear some who say such festivals give us opportunity to preach JESUS and The Message Of The Gospel. I have heard this spoken many times.But what does that actually say of that ones faith in GOD, that he believes there is a deficiency in all GOD has already both Said and Done that he believes there is more that needs doing, and that, from mans own strength and wisdom; according to the flesh?It is a wisdom, a fleshly wisdom, that refuses what GOD has already Told us in just how the world may believe that The FATHER Has Sent The SON. John 17:16-23. GOD Bless you.

'Now great multitudes were going along with HIM; and HE Turned and Said To them, "If anyone comes to ME and does not hate (meaning, by comparison, a love that is much less than is held for HIM) his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters and yes, even his own life, he cannot be MY Disciple. "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after ME cannot be MY Disciple...' Luke 14:25-27. From The Mouth Of GOD we are told what we must do to Inherit Eternal Life, which, through faith in JESUS CHRIST, is to keep two Commandments, being, The Greatest and Foremost Commandment, with the next one being like It. As The LORD JESUS CHRIST Said To the interpreter of The Mosaic Law, who had just asked HIM, 'what shall I do to Inherit Eternal Life?' To which in reply JESUS Asked him, "What Is Written In The Law? How does It read to you?" (Luke 10:25-28) to which he gave HIM this reply, "You shall love The LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself." to which JESUS then Said, "You have answered correctly; do this and you will Live." This is what JESUS is Speaking of in our coming to HIM in Luke 14:26. It is with our whole heart, soul, strength and mind devoted to HIM. See Philippians 2:1-11, and that HIS Words in Luke 14:26 are Speaking toward The Great and Foremost Commandment; consequently speaking of HIS Deity. "If you love ME you will keep MY Commandments. "And I Will Ask The FATHER And HE Will Give you another Helper, that HE may be With you forever; The SPIRIT Of Truth, WHOM the world cannot Receive, because it does not behold HIM or know HIM. You know HIM because HE Abides With you and will be In you (1 John 2:20-29). "I will not leave you as orphans; I Will Come To you.' John 14:15-18. "...You shall worship The LORD your GOD and serve HIM only." Matthew 4:10. It Is Written In The Law, 'for you shall not worship any other god, for The LORD, WHOSE Name Is Jealous, Is A Jealous GOD' Exodus 34:14 'Or do you think that The Scripture Speaks to no purpose: "The SPIRIT Which HE Has Made To Dwell in us Jealously Desires us"?' James 4:5. And again Written in The Law, which we are Called to establish through and by faith (Jeremiah 31:33-34, Romans 3:31, Galatians 3:21-29, Psalm 40:6-8) "And it shall come about if you ever forget The LORD your GOD and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I Testify against you today that you shall surely perish. "Like the nations that The LORD Makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you would not listen to The Voice Of The LORD your GOD. Deuteronomy 8:19-20. 'For we Through The SPIRIT, *by faith,* are waiting for the Hope Of Righteousness.' Galatians 5:5. In another place we read of The LORD JESUS WHO Says To HIS Disciples of HIS going to Prepare A Place For them, "And if I go to Prepare A Place For you, I Will Come Again And Receive you To MYSELF; that where I AM, you may be also. "And Where I go you know, and The Way you know..." "I AM The Way And The Truth And The Life; no one comes to The FATHER but Through ME." (See John 14:1 - 15:17). We, of ourself, cannot keep These Two Commandments, ('For we Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for the Hope Of Righteousness,') the establishing of Which, By The SPIRIT, in our living by The faith Which Is According to GOD, becomes the fulfilment of The Law; Romans 13:8-14. '...In HIM, you also, after listening to The Message Of Truth, The Gospel Of your Salvation - having also believed, you were Sealed In HIM With The HOLY SPIRIT Of Promise, WHO Is Given As A Pledge Of our Inheritance, with a view to The Redemption Of Possession, to the praise of HIS Glory...' Ephesians 1 (v13-14). Through our obedience; believing in JESUS CHRIST in Truth, because GOD Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT To those who obey HIM (Romans 5:1-5, John 1:17, Acts 5:32), this brings with it, Eternal Life. "He who believes in The SON has Eternal Life; but he who does not obey The SON shall not see Life, but The Wrath Of GOD Abides On him." John 3:36. It is all GOD'S Work in the heart and is why it is and must be a constant all the days of our life, growing from faith and towards faith, which means living by faith according to GOD, being The Message Of The Gospel (Romans 1:16-17). It is also why we must know repentance when we have either done, thought or spoken contrary to CHRIST. It is humility before both GOD and man. This too is being Of The faith: showing our love for GOD and accordingly through it our love for our neighbour. 1 John 1:1 - 2:7, Hebrews 12:7-15, Galatians 5:14-15, 1 John 5:1-5. Grace upon Grace. To live truly believing that JESUS Is The SON Of GOD means it will be shown in our living; word and deed. To confess HIM before men means to acknowledge so as to speak and walk the same as HIM and always looking and learning to do so. 1 John 4:1-6. In and of ourselves when apart from GOD it is impossible for any one of us to live fulfilling The two Commandments. Scripture makes this clear. '...For what The Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, GOD: Sending HIS Own SON in the likeness of sinful flesh and For sin, HE Condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to The SPIRIT. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21), but those who are according to The SPIRIT, The Things Of The SPIRIT (Galatians 5:22-23). For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on The SPIRIT Is Life And Peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward GOD; for it does not subject itself to The Law Of GOD, for it is not even able; and those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD. However, you are not in the flesh but in The SPIRIT, if indeed The SPIRIT Of GOD Dwells in you. But if anyone does not have The SPIRIT Of CHRIST, he does not belong to HIM. And if CHRIST Is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit (our sentient element which gives Life to our soul as opposed to reaping corruption as the consequence of practicing the deeds of the body; Galatians 6:7-10) is alive because of Righteousness. But if The SPIRIT Of HIM WHO Raised JESUS From the dead Dwells in you, HE WHO Raised CHRIST JESUS From the dead Will Also Give Life To your mortal bodies (we will, in our fleshly body as we sojourn during our time in this world, Glorify GOD in our living; our Spiritual service of worship) because of HIS SPIRIT WHO Indwells you.' Romans 8:3-11. Romans 12:1-3. Recall to mind such as Romans 8:9 when you come across one who professes to believe but acts contrary to CHRIST, whether in teaching upheld or stubbornly holding on to the deeds of the flesh, not showing humility but ready to argue from himself to maintain himself. 'Now those who belong to CHRIST have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live By The SPIRIT let us also walk By The SPIRIT.' Galatians 5:24-25. Carrying our own cross means our crucifying our own flesh with its passions and desires so that the deeds of the flesh do not and cannot prevail but must die. It is a process, 2 Corinthians 4:16, Titus 3:5-8. Those who do not walk according to this rule, being according to GOD'S Word and so not knowing repentance, these do not belong to CHRIST, because GOD States it is so throughout HIS Word To us. They may state of themselves that they do, but GOD Tells us otherwise and we believe in HIM.We do not stand with them to call HIM a liar. 2 John: 6-11. 'So then, Brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh - for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if By The SPIRIT you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will Live. For all who are being Led By The SPIRIT Of GOD, these are sons Of GOD. 'For you have not received a spirit of slavery (a sentient element yet still enslaved to sin; Romans 6:10-19) leading to fear again (1 John 4:15-18), but you have Received a spirit (sentient element) of Adoption as sons...' Those who profess the name and yet practice the deeds of the flesh, refusing correction, preaching another gospel, not subjecting themselves to The Righteousness Of GOD, WHO Is JESUS CHRIST, so that they may continue as they themselves please and by any preaching of their own choosing, looking to have their ears tickled in seeking teachers and others according to their own desires, these are, according to GOD, illegitimate children. Hebrews 12:7-10. 2 Timothy 4:1-5. These are liars and hypocrites, professing to be wise they show themselves as fools, going along and all the while deceiving and being deceived and thus never able to come to The Knowledge Of The Truth. Their father being the father of lies, the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will, as opposed to knowing The Will Of The MOST HIGH and seeking in spirit and Truth to worship HIM. These claim GOD as their FATHER, JESUS HIS SON And MESSIAH as their SAVIOUR, but they remain practicing the deeds of the flesh, ever disobedient to HIS Word and subsequently refusing HIS Leading through their own interpretations of It. Alive but dead, blaspheming The HOLY SPIRIT and so never having Forgiveness of sins. 'But know this first of all, that no Prophecy Of Scripture is of one's own interpretation, for no Prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men Moved By The HOLY SPIRIT Spoke From GOD. But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying The MASTER WHO Bought them, bringing swift Destruction upon themselves. And many will follow their sensuality and because of them The Way Of The Truth will be maligned; and in greed they will exploit you with false words; their Judgement From Long Ago is not idle and their Destruction is not asleep.' 2 Peter 1:20 - 2:3. 'But according to HIS Promise we are looking for New Heavens and a New earth, in which Righteousness dwells. Therefore, Beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be Found By HIM in peace, spotless and blameless and regard the Patience Of our LORD to be Salvation; just as also our Beloved Brother Paul, according to the Wisdom Given him, wrote to you, as also in all letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as also the rest of The Scriptures, to their own Destruction. You therefore, Beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard lest, being carried away by the error of unprincipled men, you fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in The Grace and Knowledge Of our LORD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. To HIM the Glory, both now and to The Day of Eternity.' 2 Peter 3:13-18. '"Truly I Say To you, all sins shall be Forgiven the sons of men and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against The HOLY SPIRIT never has Forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" Mark 3:28-29. "But an hour is Coming and Now Is, when the true worshipers shall worship The FATHER in spirit (their sentient element) and Truth; for such people The FATHER Seeks to be HIS worshipers. "GOD Is SPIRIT, and those who worship HIM must worship in spirit and Truth." John 4:23-24. Some start of on the Right Path but are led astray by false teachings which will allow them to live, think, speak, act, as they themselves please and see fit (Galatians 5:16-17). They will distort Scripture to fit their own interpretation and refusing GOD, unable to see when they contradict The GOD Breathed Word, proving themselves enemies of The Cross Of CHRIST, '...whose end is Destruction, whose god is their appetite and glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things (James 3:14-16). 'For our Citizeship Is In Heaven, From Which we also await for A SAVIOUR, The LORD JESUS CHRIST; WHO Will Transform the body of our humble state Into Conformity With The Body Of HIS Glory, By The Exertion Of The Power That HE Has even to subject all things To HIMSELF...' Philippians 3:19-21. We do not receive the word of men who are not pleasing to GOD, who live not truly confessing JESUS CHRIST. But we wait on The Word Of GOD only, Which also Performs Its Work in you who believe (1 Thessalonians 2:13-16). Salvation Through Sanctification By The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth. 'The SPIRIT HIMSELF Bears Witness With our spirit (our sentient element) that we are children Of GOD, and if children, heirs also, heirs Of GOD and fellow heirs With CHRIST, if indeed we suffer With in order that we may also be Glorified With.' Romans 8:16-17. 'For it is time for Judgement to begin with The Household Of GOD; and if with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey The Gospel Of GOD? And if it is with difficulty that the Righteous is Saved, what will become of the godless man and the sinner? 1 Peter 4:17-18. King David sinned against The LORD his GOD (Psalm 51) but he knew repentance, and repentance for Forgiveness of sins is The Message Of The Gospel to us and to all, with no exceptions. Luke 24:44-49. If we do not know true repentance according to GOD, 2 Corinthians 7:9-11, then there is and can be no Forgiveness of sins. 'What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that Grace might increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been Baptised Into CHRIST JESUS have been Baptised into HIS Death? Therefore we have been buried With HIM Through Baptism into death, in order that as CHRIST was Raised From the dead Through The Glory Of The FATHER, so we too might walk in Newness Of Life...' Romans 6:1-4. 'Now those who belong to CHRIST JESUS have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.' Galatians 5:24. 'And HE was Saying To all, "If anyone wishes to come after ME, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow ME. "For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for MY Sake, he is the one who will Save it..." Luke 9:23-24. Putting to death the deeds of the body does not happen in a one time instant transformation. Romans 8:12-14, Romans 12:1-3, 2 Corinthians 4:16, Galatians 3:3, Titus 3:5-8. It is why we are warned By GOD Through HIS Apostles to be careful of how we walk, not being as the unwise but as the wise and with this, whoever it is we believe in who will present to us as being a follower of CHRIST, because The Gate is small and The Way is narrow that Leads to Life and few are those who both find It and remain on It. Matthew 7:7-27. "Many are Called, but few Chosen." Matthew 22:14. It Is GOD'S Work in our heart and this is why a sincere faith is essential, 'But The Goal of our Instruction Is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.' 1 Timothy 1:5. 'Delight yourself in The LORD; and HE Will Give you the desires of your heart. Commit your ways to The LORD, trust also in HIM and HE Will Do It. And HE Will Bring Forth your Righteousness As The Light and your Judgement As the noon day.' Psalm 37:4-6. GOD Alone Will get us there, Protected By The Power Of GOD: By Grace through faith. John 11:25-26. 1 Peter 1:3 - 2:9. Faith knows humility, a Saving faith learns to know not to be proud, but will indeed grow more and more to know humility in all matters, Receiving Grace in times of need. 1 Corinthians 9:24 - 10:15. 'But now abide faith, Hope, Love, these three; but the Greatest of these is Love.' Corinthians 13:13. Through this faith, GOD Works and HIS Love is Manifested in us. Romans 5:1-5, Titus 3:5. 2 Timothy 1:6-14. In Revelation 3:14-22, take note of all this Godly Truth in warning, "He who overcomes, I Will Grant him to sit down With ME on MY Throne, as I also Overcame and Sat Down With MY FATHER On HIS Throne. "He who has an ear, let him hear what The SPIRIT Says To The Chuches.'" Revelation 3:21-22. Since HIS Death and Resurrection, great multitudes of people have laid claim to following JESUS CHRIST, and HIS Word To us now is as HIS Word To those who followed HIM in The Days Of HIS Flesh to this day and to The Day of Eternity. "If anyone comes to ME and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters and yes, even his own life, he cannot be MY Disciple. "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after ME cannot be MY Disciple..." Many who lay claim to follow HIM cannot see that they're lost, walking the broad way that leads to Destruction, being blinded and hard of hearing because of the hardness of their heart. GOD cannot hear them, because their living is not accompanied by true repentance. 2 Corinthians 7:9-11. Lamentations 3:40-44. Isaiah 59. There are those, and there have been many, who could not and cannot see to recognise that all this time The LORD JESUS has been Saying, "Where MY servant is, There Shall I Also Be." (John 12:24-26) that it means HIS servant shall bear The Witness Of JESUS CHRIST. The Testimony Of JESUS shall be in them and not bearing hypocrisy, because they have truly followed HIM and are With HIM: HE In them because they walk with HIM. "MY sheep hear MY Voice and I Know them and they follow ME; and I Give Eternal Life To them and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of MY Hand. "What MY FATHER Has Given ME Is Greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of The FATHER'S Hand. "I And The FATHER Are ONE." John 10:27-30. And we who truly believe shall be One In HIM and always seeking to be so; By Grace Through faith. John 17. If we do not live fulfilling The Greatest and Foremost Commandment it is impossible to then keep the second Commandment Which is like it. 1 John 5:1-5. There is no division in The Body Of CHRIST; HIS Church In Truth.But instead, humility; all seeking to be of the same mind and the same judgement. Our hearts having been Knit Together in love. Colossians 2:2-12. It is with reason that in Luke's account of The Gospel Of JESUS CHRIST, after he has written telling of The Words Of JESUS' Stating the true meaning of Discipleship; remaining in it and enduring to grow to a maturity in The Wisdom and Knowledge Of GOD and not falling away and so being in accordance with all Scripture, that his account immediately goes on to tell of The Parable of the lost sheep, then to the lost coin, then of the prodigal son; all speaking of repentance. Then on to the LORD'S Telling of the unrighteous steward. As Luke states at the beginning of his Gospel account, 'Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things Accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of The Gospel have handed them down to us, it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus; so that you might know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.' Luke 1:1-4. You who read here should believe the exact truth also, because if anything we believe in, any teachings and people we follow that do not concur exactly with JESUS CHRIST and The Word Of GOD in Truth, then following them, stubbornly holding on to them when they are shown to be in error, pridefuly and arrogantly arguing against The Truth for the sake of what is held on to that is not Of GOD and so blaspheming, counting themselves unworthy of Eternal Life; it is futility. It is The Word Implanted Which is able to Save our souls, James 1:19-25. And JESUS CHRIST Is The WORD Of GOD. "Sanctify them in The Truth; THY Word Is Truth..." John 17:17. Our faith is By The Righteousness Of our GOD And SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. Accordingly, our own words and deeds shall bear witness to HIM only; being Of The SPIRIT and not according to the flesh. HIS Divine Power Grants To us Everything Pertaining To Life and Godliness; through The True Knowledge Of HIM WHO Called us By HIS Own Glory And Excellence. Not mans! Accordingly, by these HE Grants To us HIS Precious and Magnificent Promises in order that By Them we might become partakers of Divine Nature. This means being an associate: a companion of Divine Nature and not of anything that is contrary to The Purity Of GOD.See 2 Peter 1. There is no place for any of the deeds of the flesh in these things; the deeds which we are Called By GOD to put to death By The SPIRIT, HE WHOM we cannot do so By whilst being apart from HIM.Received and kept By GOD through faith in JESUS CHRIST, The SON Of GOD. 'For as many as may be The Promises Of GOD, In HIM They Are Yes; wherefore By HIM Also is our Amen to The Glory Of GOD Through us.Now HE WHO Establishes us with you In CHRIST and Anointed us Is GOD, WHO Also Sealed us and Gave The SPIRIT in our hearts as A Pledge.'2 Corinthians 1:21-22. We do not maintain the flesh because we cannot maintain the flesh and Live. Only a fool will do so. Hebrews 10:26-39. 'The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the falseness of the treacherous will destroy them. Proverbs 11:3 The one who chooses to do so and yet name's himself a Christian, this one truly does not know humility, but instead proves himself a prideful and arrogant liar: a hypocrite who does not have Eternal Life abiding in him. He is living refusing GOD'S Work in his heart: he is not able to finish what he started from the day he first confessed with his mouth JESUS LORD and believed. Luke 8:4-21. Luke 14:25-35.

Some of you may be wondering what has happened with our Brother, Otávio and all his notes and comments disappearing. Earlier today Steph (1Charis) and I were having a conversation and she brought up that it was strange what had happened with Otávio.She said that she would write to him. Steph quickly got a reply from Otávio in which he wrote and explained, "4 days ago I was watching some games and in the game chat some people were making fun of God. Then I started preaching without offending anyone, respecting everyone and never using foul language or anything. As it turns out, at least one person reported me and chess.com muted me for 7 days. God willing in like 3 days I will be back typing in the group. I can read every message there but I cannot write anything. I tried to explain in a polite way to the moderators there via the e-mail they sent me but apparently I will have to wait until these 7 days come to an end. God bless you, my dear friend." The LORD Willing Otávio will be back on and able to share with us again very soon. We just need to be mindful that we're here on a secular site which has strict rules that we need to be careful of not breaking, even in all innocence. The enemy will look to do anything to disrupt or even destroy our being on here as Christians and we just need to be extra careful in being aware of and not breaking the rules of chess.com. GOD Be With you.

This is a continuation of the conversation on notes. It was too much to fit onto notes so I thought it better to put this as a forum. I will start by putting the notes as they were posted, from when they began and this whole conversation started with a question to the group from me.I will put them as they appear on notes (but in a correct reading order as on notes multiple notes are read from the bottom up). The initial notes from me:I have a question. Do you seek to know to understand The Knowledge Of GOD, or are you happy with what you know and how you understand at present, regardless of what is shared? Is your desire Colossians 1:9:12? Scripture points us to knowing GOD, John 17:3. Scripture can be just words shared, and often is, and not seeking to understand so as to know The Living GOD. Encouraging, allowing GOD to Teach through one another is according to Scripture.This is a question to all in the group who call themselves by HIS Name and who share here as such.Joe's reply:To answer your question Paul, I want to always continue pursuing Christ and not being complacent with where I am. The verses and insight shared on here build up indeed! I can see how you would feel like posts are ignored, but I think some people are inactive or some people read and are enriched but may not have anything to share at the moment. I don't know if you've heard of these two clubs, but there is active daily fellowship in these groups, if you are interested in joining!https://www.chess.com/club/christian-chess-worldhttps://www.chess.com/club/how-he-loves-usMy reply to Joe:Thank you Joe. I do appreciate your words. But those groups you have mentioned have as their superadmin or admins those who in the past here on chess.com have refused The Word Of GOD for the sake of their religion. I cannot put myself under their authority when their authority is not The LORD'S but their own. If a man speaks with authority and that authority is The LORD'S then this I will both listen to and look to be obedient to, as should we all. But when......a man speaks from himself, argues from himself in supposed matters of GOD, all the while speaking, acting, upholding what is not Of GOD In Truth, blindly allowing the flesh to prevail, this I will/must always refuse because of The LORD and HIS Word, being in accordance with HIS Word. Titus 3:10-11. I look to serve HIM and not gratify men. There are many here on chess.com who present as Christian but their words and deeds in upholding The Word......in Its true interpretation show otherwise, showing as hypocrites, liars, those who do not know true humility. They are easily seen. I do not mean Christians who get it wrong along the way. We all do that and I myself have done so many many times. I thank GOD for HIS Grace, Mercy and Perfect Patience. But I mean those who preach, teach and uphold what is not Of GOD In Truth, refusing to be corrected by The Word and so accordingly are actually refusing......The GOD they claim faith in. 1 Corinthians 11:18-19 is something many seem not to know to observe and recognise, 2 Peter 2:1-3. Yet Scripture is clear. Just as Paul writes, 2 Corinthians 13:2-5, so must also be our obedience to The Way Of GOD In Truth. Romans 16:17-18, 2 John:8-11. If we love HIM and truly seek to serve HIM and to know HIM, that others may know HIM In Truth and be Saved, then we will do. John 17:16-23, John 14:6, & v16-24......Bob and Leslie some years ago argued from themselves in a matter, yet in it refused The Word. One of these out of spite and in the middle of conversation chose to disable a group I'd started for the same purpose I then started this one. Their flesh prevailed; they've not known repentance in it. We are Called to turn away from such as these, not blindly fellowship with. Matthew 18:15-17. James 1:19-25, Psalm 119:137-144. This now is up to date as they were posted and now in answer to this note from you, Joe, which caused me to transfer to a forum is followed by my answer to it: Note from Joe:Ah I see. Sorry to hear about that experience with them, I didn't know that happened. To me, they don't give off that sort of authoratative persona as I've fellowshipped with them, but I don't know what happened back then. Regardless, yes may we keep praying for discernment and wisdom from God and His Word, to judge righteously. My reply:But it is not 'regardless' as a Christian; a Saint, meaning, most Holy one. This is not in the heart of a Saint.And to judge Righteously means rightwiseness according to GOD.Joe, to pray for wisdom from GOD requires faith to Receive, James 1:5-8. We do not, we do not, need discernment more than what GOD already Gives and HIS Word makes clear. It is if we hear, or not!And I here make you aware of what we seem not to consider, that If people were actually held accountable according to The Word Of GOD when they spoke or acted or preached and taught contrary to Scripture, and how Scripture actually instructs is actually applied in dealing with each and every matter as it arose, then more people would be fearful of being arrogant and prideful in maintaining the flesh and their own ways and wisdom.But more than this, GOD would be honoured and Glorified through obedience to HIS Word.We are not to pick and choose what we will accept and listen to and/or will allow the flesh to prevail in on our walk and make excuses for others that do so!To do so is quite simply not living by faith in GOD.It is not following in the footsteps of JESUS CHRIST. It is not living confessing JESUS CHRIST.Hear Hebrews 10:26-39 because it applies to all men; and with no partiality.Matthew 4:4.Hearts are shown for what they truly are; either given to GOD, or living refusing The Sanctifying Work Of The HOLY SPIRIT and so receiving The Grace Of GOD in vain.That is what it is and hearts will be known by it and are known by it.1 Timothy 1:5.Fools despise Wisdom and Instruction.Psalm 1. Proverbs 1:20 - 2:15.We cannot defend them. We cannot make excuses or allowances for them and then say we always look to follow GOD.Look at how Paul writes to Titus and to Timothy in the Instruction in his letters to them and in The Wisdom and Foreknowledge Of GOD To us also.Look at how Paul writes to believers at Ephesus!Just because you have not experienced what I'm telling you happened with me it does not excuse them or leave them guiltless, or any other believer free to fellowship with them after knowing. They need to know repentance in it. And through repentance will seek for reconciliation. Do not forget, for all these things we do we shall personally give account to GOD for.They, as of now, are hypocrites. They stand in hypocrisy.As what happened with me, if you were to recognise something they stand on as being error, disagree with them by standing on The Word to show them their error and refuse to move if they stubbornly chose to hold to it, then you will see very different people as I did.Their true self will emerge and it is called hypocrisy. I will here include links so you can see and read for yourself what happened with what was said.https://www.chess.com/blog/InlovewithJESUS/titus-115-16-and-a-deleted-forum-postThis is what I posted back then, touching on what happened.One of the messages I include at the end and give an answer to is Bob's.The next three links are the mentioned forum post.You will see that some who answer these blog posts are those who were involved. It got to the point where I had to block them as they just would not hear, could not hear and continued in their self justification and dishonouring GOD.I hope you read, and hear, because it shows our hearts before GOD. Mark 7:20-23. We cannot justify ourselves, though very sadly and as you will see many do. It will not Save them on that Great and Terrible Day. John 12:44-50. Only GOD Is True and we learn from HIM.https://www.chess.com/blog/InlovewithJESUS/the-deleted-forum-post-part-1https://www.chess.com/blog/InlovewithJESUS/the-deleted-forum-post-part-2https://www.chess.com/blog/InlovewithJESUS/the-deleted-forum-post-part-3

“I Am The True Vine, and My Father Is The Vinedresser. Every branch In Me that does not bear fruit, He Takes Away; and every branch that bears fruit, He Prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.You are already Clean because of the Word Which I Have Spoken to you. Abide In Me, and I In you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide In Me. I Am The Vine, you are the branches; he who abides In Me and I In him, he bears much fruit, for Apart From Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide In Me, he is Thrown Away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. If you abide In Me, and My Words Abide In you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be Done for you. My Father Is Glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My Disciples. Just as The Father Has Loved Me, I Have Also Loved you; abide In My love. If you keep My Commandments, you will abide In My love; just as I Have Kept My Father’s Commandments and Abide In His Love. These Things I Have Spoken to you so that My Joy may be In you, and that your joy may be made full. This is My Commandment, that you love one another, just as I Have Loved you." John 15:1-12 "Those whom I Love, I Reprove and Discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I Stand at the door and Knock; if anyone hears My Voice and opens the door, I Will Come In to him and Will Dine With him, and he With Me. He who overcomes, I Will Grant to him to sit down With Me on My Throne, as I Also Overcame and Sat Down With My Father On His Throne. He who has an ear, let him hear What The Spirit Says to the Churches.’” Revelation 3:19-22

But The Wisdom From Above is first Pure, then Peaceable, Gentle, Reasonable, full of Mercy and Good Fruits, Unwavering, without hypocrisy. And The Seed WHOSE Fruit Is Righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.' James 3:17-18. The Seed Is JESUS CHRIST (Galatians 3:16). Firstly, on writing this I found that one whom I know did not understand in verse 18,'Righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.' Their understanding was that it was something we had to do, that we have to sow peace, and that peacemakers sow in peace and so reap the fruit of Righteousness. This is incorrect. It is not something we have to do because we actually do not know how to do this in and by ourselves. Of this, Scripture is clear. (Romans 3:9-31); For nothing good dwells in us, that is our flesh (Romans 7:18); but it's something that those who truly walk under Grace through faith in The SON Of GOD will both learn and know to do, because it is the fruit of The SPIRIT; Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, faithfulness, Gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no Law. The Washing Of Regeneration and Renewing By The HOLY SPIRIT. Titus 3:5-8. "You will know them by their fruits." CHRIST Is The Seed, The Fruit Of Righteousness Is Of The HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM GOD Poured out Upon us Richly Through JESUS CHRIST our SAVIOUR. Graciously Giving, Justifying those who obey HIM. "He who believes in The SON Has Eternal Life; but he who does not obey The SON shall not see Life, but The Wrath Of GOD Abides On him."John 3:36. "This Is The Work Of GOD, that you believe in HIM WHOM HE Has Sent." John 6:29. Scripture tells us that none of us know the way of peace. Read Romans 3:9-20, and pause to recognise this when you get to verses 17-18, 'And the path of peace they have not known.' "There is no fear of GOD before their eyes." Then go to Isaiah 59 and read it through, verses 1 to 21, but pause again at verse 8, again to recognise that on our own we do not know the things that make for peace. 'They do not know the way of peace and there is no justice in their tracks; they have made their paths crooked; whoever treads on them does not know peace.' Then go to Luke 1:67-79, and at verses 78-79 recognise the Prophecy and why MESSIAH JESUS Came...to Guide our way into The Way Of Peace. "Because of the Tender Mercy Of our GOD, With Which The Sunrise From On High Shall Visit us, to Shine Upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to Guide our feet into The Way Of Peace." Then go to Romans 5:1-5 to recognise now, how we may have peace with GOD and that this comes through our faith in JESUS CHRIST and then consequently Through The HOLY SPIRIT. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17. 'Therefore having been Justified by faith, we have Peace with GOD Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Through WHOM also we have Obtained our Introduction by faith into this Grace in Which we stand...' Then read Matthew 7:7-20. Righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace and It Is All GOD'S Work, All Being The Fruit Of The SPIRIT, and nought of ourselves. "And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears The Word and understands It; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty and some thirty." Matthew 13:23. 'For By Grace you have been Saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, The Gift Of GOD; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. For we are HIS Workmanship, Created In CHRIST JESUS for Good Works, Which GOD Prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them...' Ephesians 2:8-10. By The FATHER'S Doing we are In CHRIST JESUS: WHO Is To us all, Wisdom From GOD And Righteousness And Sanctification And Redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:30-31. "Come to ME, all who are weary and heavy-laden and I Will Give you Rest. "Take MY Yoke upon you and learn From ME, for I AM Gentle And Humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. "For MY Yoke is easy and MY Load is light." Matthew 11:28-30 HE Becomes to us Wisdom And Righteousness And Sanctification And Redemption through our faith in HIM. If we, as a professing believer in JESUS CHRIST, choose to refuse anything that is contained in Scripture, then our faith is not purely in GOD; but we choose to maintain impurity; being self-willed we are not willingly going through the Process of Sanctification By The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth (2 Thessalonians 2:13), that we may understand what The Will Of GOD is; that which is good and acceptable and perfect; that HIS Word truly bears Its Fruit in all our living. 1 Thessalonians 2:13. 'But you did not learn CHRIST in this way, if indeed you have heard HIM (Romans 10:17, 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2) and have been Taught In HIM, just as Truth Is In JESUS, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit and that you be Renewed in the spirit(sentient element) of your mind, and put on the New self, which In GOD Has Been Created In Righteousness And Holiness Of The Truth. Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak Truth, each one with his neighbour (Luke 10:36-37; here, 'ginomai'; in v36 translated as 'was' or 'proved to be' is the defining word), for we are members of one another... Ephesians 4 (v20-25) and see Romans 12. 'For we Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for the Hope Of Righteousness.'Galatians 5:5. 'Not by might nor by power, but By MY SPIRIT,' Says The LORD Of Hosts. Zechariah 4:6. By simple logic, what James tells us in verses 14-16 of chapter 3, being in contrast to that which is From Above, it shows that what is From Above (v17-18) is wholly compliant with GOD; HIS SPIRIT; HIS Very Heart; and nothing whatsoever of the wisdom that is natural, earthly, demonic; which is what we all, without exception, are of by our fleshly nature we are born into from our mother's womb. 'Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity and in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, THOU Dost Desire Truth in the innermost being and in the hidden part THOU Wilt Make me know Wisdom.' Psalm 51:5-6. Hence, now under Grace, the need to be born again Of The SPIRIT; fleshly to Spiritual. John 3:3-8. 'For The Law Of The SPIRIT Of Life In CHRIST JESUS has Set me Free from The Law of sin and death. For what The Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, GOD: Sending HIS Own SON in the Likeness of sinful flesh and For sin, HE Condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the Requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to The SPIRIT...' Romans 8 (v2-4). And hence why James begins in verse 17 and through to verse 18, "But The Wisdom that is From Above is first Pure (Truly Perfect),thereafter (accordingly) Peaceable, Gentle, Reasonable, full of Mercy and Good Fruits, Unwavering, without hypocrisy. And The Seed WHOSE Fruit Is Righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.' To see a comparison and a change in the spirit of a man, first being natural, earthly, then to being a spirit being of the Wisdom that is From Above, we can go to Luke 9:51-56, then to 1 John, 2 John, 3 John. Here is the telling by Luke of two of The LORD'S Disciples, James and John, who, on seeing The LORD JESUS not being received in a village of the Samaritans, saying to HIM, "LORD, do you want us to command fire to come down from Heaven and consume them?" And Scripture tells us, 'But HE turned and Rebuked them and said, "You do not know what kind of Spirit you are of; for The SON Of Man did not Come to destroy men's lives, but to Save them." ' Then look at John's three letters to see a heart Cleansed Through The SPIRIT, By The Grace Of GOD through The faith that is in CHRIST JESUS The LORD. '...and HE HIMSELF Is The Propitiation For our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know HIM, if we keep HIS Commandments. The one who says, "I have come to know HIM," and does not keep HIS Commandments, is a liar and The Truth is not in him; but whoever keeps HIS Word, in him The Love Of GOD has truly been Perfected. By this we know that we are In Him: the one who says he abides in HIM ought himself to walk in the same manner as HE Walked. Beloved, I am not writing a new Commandment to you, but and old Commandment Which you have had from the beginning; the old Commandment Is The Word Which you have heard... 1 John 2:2-7. 'Do not marvel, Brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into Life, because we love the Brethren. He who does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his Brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has Eternal Life abiding in him. We know love by this, that HE Layed down HIS Life For us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the Brethren...' 1 John 3:13-16. 'By this we know that we abide In Him and HE In us, because HE Has Given us Of HIS SPIRIT.'1 John 4:13. 'The one who believes in The SON Of GOD has The Witness in himself; the one who does not believe GOD has made HIM a liar, because he has not believed in The Witness That GOD Has Borne Concerning HIS SON...' 1 John 5:10. 'But The Goal of our Instruction Is love from a pure (Cleansed) heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.' 1 Timothy 1:5. "But I Say To you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. "Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withold your shirt from him either. "Give to everyone who asks of you and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. "And just as you want people to treat you, treat them in the same way..." Luke 6:20-38 (v27-31). "Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them, for this is The Law and the Prophets..." Matthew 7:1-27 (v12). 'Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly (be of the same mind with the humble; Matthew 11:28-30). Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, as far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, Beloved, but leave room for The Wrath Of GOD, for It Is Written, "Vengeance Is MINE, I Will Repay," Says The LORD. "But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so you will heap burning coals upon his head." Do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12 (v16-21). The New self, In GOD, Is Created In Righteousness And Holiness Of The Truth. Therefore, HIS Fruit in Truth Is Righteousness, or, Right-Wiseness. '...No one who is born Of GOD practices sin, because HIS Seed Abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born Of GOD.' 1 John 3:1-15 (v9). Of course we all sin. We all will get it wrong along the way; but GOD Gives repentance. John here is not stating we will not sin (see 1 John 1:5 - 2:8), but that no one who is truly born Of GOD practices sin, that is, to wilfuly continue in sin after Receiving The Knowledge Of The Truth. GOD'S Grace Is Sufficient for the one who lives by faith in The SON Of GOD; HE WHOSE Blood Cleanses us from all our sins. Saved By The Blood Of The LAMB: HE WHO Loves us and Released us from our sins By HIS Blood. This means we learn; that we die to sin that we may live to Righteousness (2 Corinthians 4:16), as Paul writes and asks in his letter to The Church in Rome, 'What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that Grace might increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that we who have been Baptised into CHRIST JESUS have been Baptised into HIS Death? Therefore we have been buried with HIM Through Baptism into death, in order (to the intent) that as CHRIST Was Raised From the dead Through The Glory Of The FATHER, so we too might walk in Newness of life. For if we have become united With in the likeness of HIS Death (1 Peter 4:1-2), certainly we shall be also Of HIS Resurrection,... Romans 6:1 -7:6 (6:1-5). 'If' here in verse 5 is the defining word, as to whether we remain practicing the deeds of the flesh, or, By The SPIRIT live putting to death the deeds of the body (Romans 8:12-14). The fulfilment of Scripture according to Scripture in our living, is the receiving of The Promise Of GOD Through faith in HIS Beloved SON: Eternal Life. 1 John 2:18-29. If we go on sinning wilfuly after Receiving The Knowledge Of The Truth, for such a one, there no longer remains A Sacrifice For sins, but a certain and terrifying expectation of Judgment and a Fury of a Fire Which Will Consume those who indeed proved themselves to be adversaries (1 John 2:19); by their trampling under foot The SON Of GOD, regarding as unclean The Blood Of The Covenant and insulting The SPIRIT Of Grace. Hebrews 10:26-39. 'And working together, we urge you not to Receive The Grace Of GOD in vain -...' 2 Corinthians 6:1 - 7:1 (6:1). "I AM The Vine, you are the branches; he who abides In ME and I In him, he bears much fruit; for apart from ME you can do nothing. "If anyone does not abide in ME, he is Thrown Away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them and cast them into The Fire and they are burned. John 15:15-16. 'Clouds and thick darkness surround HIM; Righteousness And Justice Are The Foundation Of HIS Throne.' 'Hate evil, you who love The LORD, WHO Preserves the souls of HIS Godly ones; HE Delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Light Is Sown For the Righteous and gladness for the upright in heart. Be glad in The LORD, you Righteous ones; and give thanks to HIS Holy Name.' Psalm 97:2 & v10-12. As James writes In The SPIRIT Of GOD, 'But The Wisdom From Above is first Pure, thereafter Peaceable...' Pure: Truly Perfect, thereafter Peaceable, Gentle, Reasonable, full of Mercy and Good Fruits, Unwavering, without hypocrisy. As The Heavely Host who appeared with the angel praising GOD when The SAVIOUR, CHRIST The LORD was Born said, "Glory To GOD In The Highest and on earth Peace among men with whom HE Is Pleased."Luke 2:14. There are many who remain sullied by the flesh, even blindly, yet who stand before others as administrators, supposedly furthering the administration Of GOD. They are known by the congregation as teachers, pastors, overseers, and whatever else is laid claim to. Many of these will claim to be being Called Of GOD in what they do. But when one who makes such a bold claim as this, who then refuses to be shown that anything he is preaching, believing in, or practicing, is infact hypocrisy; being contrary to The Word Of GOD, he then proves himself to be no more than a liar, wilfuly continuing in sin and in need of repentance; he is doing no more than believing in himself as the authority; and through this wilful insubordination setting himself as an idol in his own heart. 1 Samuel 15:23. Colossians 3:5-17. 'As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects man.' Proverbs 27:19. 'But he who boasts, let him boast in The LORD. For not he who commends himself is Approved, but whom The LORD Commends.' 2 Corinthians 10:17-18. What he, being contrary to The Word, then practices, it cannot possibly thereafter bring what is, according to GOD, peaceable; because he, being self-willed, is unquestionably sowing division in The Body Of JESUS CHRIST: HIS Church. Acts 20:27-32.'Now I urge you, Brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to The Teaching Which you learned, and turn away from them. For such men are slaves, not Of our LORD CHRIST but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.' Romans 16:17-18. 'Now I exhort you , Brethren, By The Name Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, that you all agree and there be no divisions among you, but you be made Complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.' 1 Corinthians 1:10. "And The Glory Which THOU Hast Given ME I have Given them; that they may be One, just as WE Are ONE; I In them And THOU In ME, that they may be Perfected in Unity, that the world may know that THOU Didst Send ME and Didst Love them, even as THOU Didst Love ME..."John 17:22-23. 'but just as It Is Written, "Things Which eye has not seen and ear has not heard and have not entred the heart of man, All That GOD Has Prepared For those who love HIM." For To us GOD Revealed Them Through The SPIRIT; for The SPIRIT Searches all things, even The Depths Of GOD. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. 'Behold, The Eye Of The LORD Is On those who fear HIM, On those who hope for HIS Lovingkindness, to Deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for The LORD; HE Is our Help And our Shield. For our heart rejoices In HIM, because we trust in HIS Holy Name. Let THY Lovingkindness, O LORD, Be Upon us, according as we have hoped in THEE.' Psalm 33:18-22. 'The LORD Favours those who fear HIM, those who wait for HIS Lovingkindness.' Psalm 147:11. Daniel 9:4-19. There is no genuine humility before GOD, no genuine reverence in those who will maintain the flesh, which is no more or less than arrogance before GOD; and GOD Is Opposed to the proud but Gives Grace To the humble. 'Behold, as for the proud one, his soul is not right within him; but the Righteous will live by his faith.' Habakkuk 2:4. Accordingly, one who maintains such a spirit, he then proves himself as being unreasonable and full of hypocrisy; and contrary to all James writes here in 3:17-18. As the Apostle Paul writes to The Church at Corinth, and which GOD Gives to us as an example through him, 'And I, Brethren, could not speak to you as to Spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in CHRIST. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and are you not walking like mere men?...' 1 Corinthians 3:1-3. In the same way as our LORD JESUS Rebuked James and John for the ignorance that was in them at that time when they were ignorant to The Way Of GOD, written in Luke 9:55-56, so too, there are those who stand before the congregation who will show by their words and deeds that they do not themselves know what kind of Spirit they are of. These are those who, believing in themselves, will reject any form of correction, choosing instead to look to protect the position they hold in the church, rather than from the heart, knowing true humility and truly serving The LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO Is The Head; and being worshipers of THE FATHER in spirit and Truth. John 4:23-24. 'He who overcomes, I Will Make him a pillar In The Temple Of MY GOD and he will not go out from It anymore; and I Will Write Upon him The Name Of MY GOD And The Name Of The City Of MY GOD, The New Jerusalem, Which Comes Down Out of Heaven From MY GOD, And MY New Name. 'He who has ears to hear, let him hear what The SPIRIT Says To the Churches.' Revelation 3:12-13. They do not hear the warnings in Scripture, even from The Mouth Of JESUS, HE WHO they call LORD and yet from their heart they do not know how to obey HIM. Luke 17:1-10, Mark 9:42-50, Luke 9:23-27, Matthew 13. No man is above the Scriptures. I know a man who stands as a Pastor who stood before the congregation and quoting from Titus 3:10-11 he told of challenges he had faced over the years from people in the church, telling him that what he was doing was wrong. In this he declared that there are some people who want the power and position for themselves, are jealous of what they see others have, and this, according to himself, is why he had suffered such things. But in his words and deeds he shows that the position and authority he believes of himself is in fact his motivation in doing what he does and how he does it and is what is most important to him to hold on to, rather than humbly looking to serve The LORD JESUS CHRIST and counting himself least of all, carefully examining everything. In his claim that people challenge him from jealousy or for want of position for themselves, being more to do with the flesh than to truly serving The LORD, he of course may well sometimes be right. It of course does happen. But even a broken clock is right twice a day and it is wrong for one to presume that each time another points out where they believe he is in error it is from fleshly motives and a challenge to him as an overseer by whatever name he might be called as an overseer in The Church Of GOD. In this he is greatly mistaken because it shows he sees Pastor as a title and position of authority. It is not. It is a Gift through which he is to serve others for their joy, for their building up. In this instance I have seen that he, according to Scripture, speaks some things that are right, but also has in fact been wrong in both his understandings of Scripture and his conduct according to Scripture and in it has rejected correction as well as the one attempting to show the error when he was indeed in need of correction and consequently, repentance; and to this day still he stands before the unsuspecting and goes on as before, justifying both himself and others whom he himself appoints to positions in the church and stating that they are called of GOD to do what they do. It may be true that a man is Given as Pastor, but this does not give that man, whoever he is and whoever he claims to be, a right to preach or act contrary to The Word and in his own wisdom and understanding of It. It means he has a great responsibility before GOD and he shall one day answer to GOD for all he has done. Luke 12:35-48. 'See to it that you do not refuse HIM WHO Is Speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned on earth, much less who turn away from HIM WHO Warns From Heaven. And HIS Voice Shook the earth then, but now HE Has Promised, Saying, "Yet Once More I Will Shake not only the earth, but also the Heaven." And this, "Yet Once More," denotes the Removing of those things which can be shaken, as of Created things, in order that those things which cannot be shaked may remain. Therefore, since we Receive A Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to GOD an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our GOD Is A Consuming Fire.' Hebrews 12:25-29. 'How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping according to THY Word.' Psalm 119:9. 'The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel.' Proverbs 12:15. 'THY Testimonies also are my delight; my Counselors.' Psalm 119:24. 'Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.' Proverbs 26:12. ...'Do not be wise in your own estimation.'... Romans 12:16. 'I will fetch my knowledge from afar and I will ascribe Righteousness to my MAKER.' Job 36:3. 'For The Word Of GOD Is Living And Active And Sharper than any two-edged sword and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow and able to Judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from HIS Sight, but all things are open and laid bare to The Eyes Of HIM With WHOM we have to do.'Hebrews 4:12-13. Hear The Parable of The Sower, Luke 8:5-21, and understand, not only are we to bear fruit in keeping with repentance, but we are also Called to bring forth fruit to maturity. This Parable here, Matthew 25:14-30, shows the difference between doing so and not doing so. "Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, in order that those who come in may see the light. "For nothing is hidden that shall not become evident, nor secret that shall not be known and come to light. "Therefore take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him shall be Given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be Taken Away from him." Luke 8:16-18. What Is Written in James 3:17 is Knowledge; full discernment attained to; coming from maturity, being a Knowledge held and understood and being without partiality and dissimulation. Therefore, what is Written in verse 18 cannot truly be grasped in that the understanding of it is known in the professing yet disobedient heart. 'The SPIRIT Of The LORD GOD Is Upon me, because The LORD Has Anointed me to bring Good News to the afflicted; HE Has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim Liberty to captives and Freedom to prisoners; To proclaim The Favourable Year Of The LORD and The Day Of Vengeance Of our GOD; to comfort all who mourn. To grant those who mourn Zion, giving them A Garland instead of ashes, The Oil Of Gladness instead of mourning, The Mantle Of Praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks Of Righteousness, the Planting Of The LORD that HE may be Glorified...' Isaiah 61 (v1-3). 'But The Wisdom From Above is first Pure, then Peaceable, Gentle, Reasonable, full of Mercy and Good Fruits, Unwavering, without hypocrisy. And The Seed WHOSE Fruit Is Righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.' James 3:17-18. See then how James continues to write in what we have portioned as being chapter 4. 'Until The SPIRIT Is Poured Out Upon us From On High, And the wilderness becomes a fertile field. And The Work Of Righteousness will be Peace, And the service Of Righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.' Isaiah 32:15-17. "Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you make it salty? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another." Mark 9:50. 'Finally, Brethren, rejoice, be Made Complete, be Comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and The GOD Of Love And Peace Shall Be With you. 2 Corinthians 13:11. The Grace Of The LORD JESUS CHRIST And The Love Of GOD And The Fellowship Of The HOLY SPIRIT Be With you all.

"There is no one Holy like The LORD, indeed, there is no one besides THEE, nor is there any ROCK like our GOD. "Boast no more so very proudly, do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; for The LORD Is A GOD Of Knowledge, and with HIM actions are Weighed. 1 Samuel 2:2-3. "But an hour is Coming and Now Is, when the true worshipers shall worship The FATHER in spirit and Truth; for such people The FATHER Seeks to be HIS worshipers. "GOD Is SPIRIT and those who worship HIM must worship in spirit and Truth." John 4:23-24. The Christian walk shall bear fruit; our Christian walk shall show The Works Of GOD; which shall not conflict with any of HIS Word. 'THY Word Is A Lamp To my feet And A Light To my path.' Psalm 119:105. 'Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.' Proverbs 26:12 The Christian walk is a process, a walk of constant learning through which GOD'S Grace Is Sufficient for the one who truly, humbly, seeks to know HIM. 'Indeed, there is not a Righteous man on earth who does good and who never sins.' Ecclesiastes 7:20. Any teachings of men that will profess any differently are lies which must be forsaken. Anyone who will stubbornly hold on to that which has been shown to be contrary to HIS Word prove themselves to be liars; and no liar has Eternal Life abiding in him. To not repent when HIS Word has brought matters to light; through HIS Word alone and holding no contradictions, is to be numbered with those who live forsaking The LORD; because true repentance is not known. 2 Corinthians 7:10, 'No one who abides In HIM sins; no one who sins has seen HIM or knows HIM. Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as HE Is Righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The SON Of GOD Appeared for this Purpose, that HE might Destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born Of GOD practices sin, because HIS Seed Abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born Of GOD...' 1 John 3:1-15 (v6-9). As the Apostle John writes earlier in the same letter, 'Children, it is the last hour, and just as you heard antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but (it was) in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us. But you have An Anointing From The Holy ONE and you all know. I have not written to you because you do not know The Truth, but because you do know It and because no lie is of The Truth...' 1 John 2:18-21. No matter how vehemently one refuses this and yet claims they are a Christian true to The ONE they claim to love, follow and obey; they are not, when The Word Of GOD contradicts their beliefs & practices. GOD Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT To those who obey HIM. Acts 5:32. HE HIMSELF Tells us that in The New Covenant In HIS Blood, By The Grace Of GOD, that HE, The SPIRIT Of Truth, Shall Lead us into all Truth; HE Will Bear Witness of JESUS. John 7:37-39, John 14:26, John 15:22-27, John 16:7-15, John 17:22-26. 'For we Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The Hope Of Righteousness.' Galatians 5:5. This means we shall begin to learn to uphold The Law, yet not in the observance of It as in the Old Covenant. For by the works of The Law shall no flesh be Justified In HIS Sight. Galatians 2:16-21. 'For there is no partiality with GOD. For all who have sinned without The Law will also perish without The Law; and all who have sinned under The Law will be Judged by The Law; for not the hearers of The Law are just before GOD, but the doers of The Law will be Justified.' Romans 2:11-13. 'Do we then nullify The Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish The Law.' Romans 3:31 Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST and of the Old Covenant and The New Covenant In HIS Blood, It Is Written; '...then HE Said, "Behold, I Have Come To Do THY Will." HE Takes Away the First to Establish the Second. By this will we have been Sanctified Through The Offering Of The Body Of JESUS CHRIST Once And For all.' Hebrews 10:9-10. What is known as The Law is what is written in the five Books we have, Genesis through to Deuteronomy. For an example of what is disobedience and yet is claimed by those who profess The Name and to be being led By The HOLY SPIRIT, take those who will believe in, preach and teach what is known as apologetics. In this, which is so titled by the bastardizing of a word, 'apologia' meaning 'defence' taken from Scripture written in 1 Peter 3:15, and yet which does not actually cause The Law to stand in their words and deeds in their speaking as they so choose as a professing believer in CHRIST JESUS; and being, therefore, contrary to Romans 3:31, Galatians 3:11 & v14-29. Those who delight in apologetics believe that it is for them to prove the existence of GOD and to show that The Living GOD WHO Is The SAVIOUR Of all men, especially of believers, is the GOD above all gods, by such as speaking of and explaining these gods and what their followers will believe. The LORD JESUS CHRIST Says To HIS First-fruits and so to us through them (John 17:14-23), "you shall Receive Power when The HOLY SPIRIT Has Come Upon you; and you shall be MY Witnesses (martyrs: one who bears witness by his death; Luke 9:23-26, Romans 6:10-16, John 12:24) both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and even to the remotest part of the earth." Acts 1:8. And yet here, written in The Law: "Now concerning everything I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard from your mouth.' Exodus 23:13 And again in Joshua 23:7, Psalm 16:4. Zechariah 13. Quite simply, The HOLY SPIRIT will not be in a belief and practice which contradicts HIS Own Word, because it is impossible for GOD to lie. All Scripture Is written by men Moved By The HOLY SPIRIT Spoke From GOD. 2 Peter 1:16 - 2:3 Written in Acts 13:44-52, those Jews who were filled with jealousy at the preaching of Paul and Barnabas began contradicting the things spoken by them, and Scripture tells us that in this they were blaspheming, and that through their repudiating The Word, judged themselves unworthy of Eternal Life. In the same way, those who will speak of Grace, and yet know not compassion, mercy, faithfulness, in their own judgements of others, but will instead measure themselves by themselves, even in their own assessments of anothers walk, of which in truth only GOD HIMSELF can see the end from the beginning, just as HE Spoke of king David, these are both living and believing contrary to The Word Of The Living GOD; they do not truly understand Grace; they live in contradiction to The Words Of Scripture, of love and The LORD JESUS HIMSELF, Matthew 7:1-6, Matthew 13:24-43; this, JESUS never did. And it is impossible that The HOLY SPIRIT is in their beliefs and Leading such a one's sentient element (their spirit); because it is contrary to HIS Word. And it is impossible for GOD to lie. Galatians 5:16-18. (Acts 13:22, 1 Samuel 13:14, 1 Samuel 16:1-13, 2 Samuel 11:1 - 12:25, Psalm 51: here note, that what The LORD GOD Spoke Of David, quoted in Acts, as being a man after HIS Own Heart who will do all HIS Will, was Spoken By GOD whilst David was as yet a young man and before his Anointing: Psalm 78:70-72) Psalm 119:121-128. The Truth Of The Gospel Of JESUS CHRIST and The Grace Of GOD Through faith in HIM is that, 'If we confess our sins, HE Is Faithful And Righteous To Forgive us our sins and to Cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make HIM a liar, and HIS Word is not in us. My little children, I am writing these things that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have An Advocate With The FATHER, JESUS CHRIST The Righteous; and HE HIMSELF Is The Propitiation For our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. And by this we have come to know HIM, if we keep HIS Commandments. The one who says, "I have come to know HIM," and does not keep HIS Commandments, is a liar and The Truth is not in him; but whoever keeps HIS Word, in him the Love Of GOD has truly been Perfected. By this we know that we are in HIM: the one who says he abides in HIM ought himself to walk in the same manner as HE Walked... 1 John 1:9 - 2:6. Where I wrote, "This means we shall begin to learn to uphold The Law yet not in the observance of It as in the Old Covenant. For by the works of The Law shall no flesh be Justified In HIS Sight..." This is The Way Of GOD In CHRIST JESUS; our trying to learn what is pleasing to HIM; Ephesians 5:1-17. This is where it is contrary to The Will Of GOD, that one will judge another unworthy and judge them as not Saved (Matthew 13:34-30 & v36-43), merely because he himself sees not the fruit he himself expects to see; and that, by his own standard of measure and in his own wisdom. None but GOD can See the end from the beginning, but I have known one who stands as a Pastor who has done this and yet he did not know much at all about the person, or his walk, or his heart before GOD. Even so, he judged and condemned and stated to his face and to others that he was not Saved. He merely went by what he knew and what he thought he knew, though in truth it was nothing more than presumption. Yet in it, all the while not seeing his own error, that he had acted contrary to Scripture, and refusing to be shown. What would such a one have made of David's sin with Bathsheba? How would he have then judged David? For whatever reason those who will do this do so, for those that will do this, in their judging another unworthy, they are speaking against The Law and so placing themselves as a judge of The Law; and in doing so they are not understanding Grace; which is what all are now under through The faith that is In CHRIST JESUS. Not everyone is at the same place in their walk. We all have our own struggles with the flesh and the enemy to overcome; though all against sin and an enemy which is common to all. Discipline and correction is one thing, that the one sinning hears and may learn, may know and may repent. But discipline and correction is for his upbuilding, and not for his tearing down. 'Brethren, even if a man is caught in any trespass, you who are Spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one anothers burdens and thus fulfill The Law Of CHRIST. For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself...' Galatians 6:1-3. The Authority Is The LORD'S; and before HIM we are all Brothers; there is not one above the other in The Body Of CHRIST, Which Is HIS Church, and not man's; only GOD Is Just And The Justifier Of the one who has faith in JESUS. Why does one believe he may judge another by The Law (for that is what he is doing) and then preach faith, Hope, Love, and The Grace that is In CHRIST JESUS to others at the same time? Why would such a one determine that GOD'S Grace is sufficient for himself, but not for another? It is error. It is foolishness. It is hypocrisy. It shows one who is unknowing and yet stands before others as one who knows. 'Let not many become teachers, my Brethren, knowing that as such we shall incur a Stricter Judgement. For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.' James 3:1-2. 'Do not speak against one another, Brethren. He who speaks against a Brother, or judges his Brother, speaks against The Law and judges The Law; but if you judge The Law, you are not a doer of The Law, but a judge. There Is ONE LawGiver And Judge, The ONE WHO Is Able to Save and to Destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbour?' James 4:11-12. The Old Covenant is gone. The New Covenant In HIS Blood Is now; under Grace and not under Law. Yet there are some who will do this. Judging, determining, putting others out of the church by their own authority. Even though the Scriptures they will lay claim to believing in, claiming to understand, and standing before others as a teacher of, says, 'Now that no one is justified by The Law before GOD is evident; for, "The Righteous man shall live by faith." However, The Law is not Of faith; on the contrary, "He who practices them shall live by them." CHRIST Redeemed us from the curse of The Law, Having Become a curse For us - for It Is Written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" - in order that In CHRIST JESUS the Blessing Of Abraham might Come To the Gentiles, so that we might Receive The Promise Of The SPIRIT through faith.' Galatians 3:11-14. 'Hear my prayer, O LORD. Give Ear To my supplications! Answer me in THY Faithfulness, in THY Righteousness! And do not enter into Judgement With THY servant, for In THY Sight no man living is Righteous. For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead. Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart is appalled within me.' Psalm 143:1-4 For the reason of discipline and correction our LORD JESUS CHRIST Gives us Instruction to follow, a protocol to adhere to for when one in the church is sinning. It is written in Matthew 18:15-20. After Speaking To HIS Disciples, Peter then asks HIM a question, "LORD, how often shall my Brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" JESUS Said To him, "I do not Say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. "For this reason The Kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a certain king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves... Matthew 18:21-34. In this telling, see how, first the slaves, and then the king on his knowing and at his judgement, determines the one who sought forgiveness for himself and yet did not himself afford forgiveness to another. And see the outcome of that "wicked slave." Verse 35, see Matthew 6:9-15. There are those who stand as Pastors, overseers, leaders in the church, who view what they have as titles which bring with them an authority. They are greatly mistaken. What is Given Of GOD (1 Corinthians 12:4-12), is a Gift, and not a title (1 Corinthians 12:18-31, Ephesians 4:7-25); 'As each one has Received a Gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards Of the Manifold Grace Of GOD. Whoever speaks, let him speak, as it were, The Utterances Of GOD; whoever serves, as by the Strength Which GOD Supplies; so that in all things GOD may be Glorified Through JESUS CHRIST, To WHOM Belongs The Glory And Dominion forever and ever. Amen.' 1 Peter 4:10-11. Why is it we do not see the members, each with their Gifts, working as One in The Body; according to Scripture? It is because what we have been Given Of GOD, The Church, has been changed; yet these changes are not Ordained By GOD. They refuse correction for themselves according to The Word; because they do not truly understand It, so proving themselves to be obstinate children; and apart from repentance, illegitimate children. Hebrews 12:7-15 and v18-29. They will threaten and will put others out of the church who dare to question what they do. It is more common than many may appreciate. What is written in Matthew 18:15-17, they will refuse for themselves yet will use it to apply to others, to their own selfish ends; protecting their positions much the same as the Pharisees did in their dealings with our LORD JESUS CHRIST in The Days of HIS Flesh when HE Came for sin. They are quick to judge and to condemn. But the condemnation is theirs; their words and their deeds bear witness against them; though they are blind to it and accordingly will refuse correction. You, dear reader, may attend a church under such 'leadership.' But we are all sinners (Romans 3:9-31) Saved By Grace through faith; and it is to know absolutely what truly constitutes a Saving faith before GOD. We were all destined to burn and shall be, apart from The Grace Of GOD that is realised through The faith that is In CHRIST JESUS. Brands plucked from the fire; Saved By The Blood Of The LAMB; HE WHO Loved us and Released us from our sins By HIS Blood. But this means repentance, or else we live regarding as unclean The Blood Of The Covenant and insulting The SPIRIT Of Grace. Romans 6:10-18. Hebrews 10:26-39. It is The Word implanted which is able to Save our souls; James 1:21-25, The Word, which in the true believer, shall bear Its fruit; word and deed; 1 Thessalonians 2:13. 'For The Law was Given through Moses; Grace and Truth were Realised Through JESUS CHRIST. John 1:17. And we are told why The Law Came. Romans 7:7-13. Far be it from anyone of us to use this to apply judgement to another whilst in it sinning ourselves in our ignorance to The Truth. "Do not judge lest you be Judged. "For in the way you judge, you will be Judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be Measured To you...' Matthew 7:1-6 (v1-2). Luke 6:39-49. 'Test yourselves if you are in The faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognise this about yourselves, that JESUS CHRIST Is in you - unless indeed you fail the test?' 2 Corinthians 13:5 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. Firstly, to understand 'works' in a Christian sense, as opposed to the works of The Law, such as The LORD JESUS Speaks in reply to the question of "what shall we do that we may work The Works Of GOD?" and just as HIS Reply can be seen in John 6:29, see John 15:5. '...For what The Law could not do, weak as It was through the flesh, GOD: Sending HIS Own SON in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, HE Condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of The Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to The SPIRIT.' Romans 8:3-4. And what is 'the requirement of The Law?' 'For there is no partiality with GOD. For all who have sinned without The Law will also perish without The Law; and all who have sinned under The Law will be Judged by The Law; for not the hearers of The Law are just before GOD, but the doers of The Law will be Justified.' Romans 2:11-13. Only GOD Is Just and The Justifier Of the one who has faith in JESUS (Romans 3:19-28). The LORD JESUS HIMSELF Says that HE did not come to abolish The Law or the Prophets, but to fulfill (Matthew 5:17-20) HIS Words here, written in Matthew 5 are two fold. One is that in HIS Coming HE Fulfilled The Law and the Prophets, and the other is that through HIS Coming, all who will believe in HIM (live believing and trusting in GOD Through HIM; faith) are no longer under The Law but under Grace. 'Do we then nullify The Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish The Law...' Romans 3:31. What does the word, here translated as 'nullify' mean? It means 'to render entirely idle.' What does the word, here translated as 'establish' mean? It means 'to cause to stand.' Romans 10:3, Hebrews 10:9-10. The LORD JESUS CHRIST Is The LORD our Righteousness. Jeremiah 23:5-6. 'So then, Brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh - for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if By The SPIRIT you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will Live. For all who are being Led By The SPIRIT Of GOD, these are sons Of GOD...' Romans 8:12-14. 'For we Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The Hope Of Righteousness.' Galatians 5:5. 'Is The Law then contrary to The Promises Of GOD? May it never be! For if a Law had been Given which was able to impart Life, then Righteousness would have indeed been based on Law. But the Scripture has shut up all men under sin, that The Promise by faith in JESUS CHRIST might be Given to those who believe. But before faith (The Gift Of GOD) Came, we were kept in custody under The Law, being shut up to The faith Which was later to be Revealed. Therefore The Law has become our tutor to CHRIST, that we may be Justified by faith. But now that faith has Come, we are no longer under a tutor (The Law). For you are all sons Of GOD through faith in CHRIST JESUS.' Galatians 3:21-26. What constitutes a saving faith? It is not what we ourselves will determine through our own wants or understanding and teachers that we will accumulate for ourselves depending on our own wants and desires. We are warned in Scripture of not doing this (2 Timothy 3:16 - 4:4, 1 Timothy 4:1-2 & 6:3-6, 2 Peter 1:20 - 2:3), but it is according to The Word Of GOD Alone. Faith is a conviction based upon hearing; an absolute trust in GOD. 'So faith comes from hearing and hearing by The Word Of CHRIST (GOD).' Romans 10:17. Our faith, as believers in GOD Through JESUS CHRIST, rests upon The Living CHRIST JESUS The LORD. 'If CHRIST has not been Raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also in vain.' 1 Corinthians 15:14 '...and if CHRIST has not been Raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.' 1 Corinthians 15:17. 'That your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on The Power Of GOD. ' 1 Corinthians 2:5. Psalm 146 Being of The faith means faithfulness is required from the one professing faith in GOD;'Not that we lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm.' 2 Corinthians 1:24 And as Paul wrote of Timothy, 1 Thessalonians 3:2. And to The Church at Thessalonica in his second letter; 'Finally, Brethren, pray for us that The Word Of The LORD may spread rapidly and be Glorified, just as also with you; and that we may be delivered from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith.' 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2. Faith is also the trustworthiness of the one professing faith in GOD; that he does not neglect the weightier provisions of The Law in his profession of faith (Romans 3:31, James 2:10): justice and mercy and faithfulness. Matthew 23:23. '...But the fruit Of The SPIRIT Is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no Law. Now those who belong to CHRIST JESUS have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (Luke 9:23-27). If we live By The SPIRIT, let us also walk by The SPIRIT. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.' Galatians 5:22-26. '...For we are HIS Workmanship, Created In CHRIST JESUS for good works, which GOD Prepared Beforehand, that we should walk in them...' Ephesians 2:10. And Romans 3:3-4. A saving faith stands on what is believed in accordance with The Truth only; being obedient to The faith; Acts 6:7, Acts 14:22, Galatians 6:10, Philippians 1:27, Jude:20 A saving faith is a personal surrender to JESUS CHRIST; 'for we walk by faith, not by sight.' 2 Corinthians 5:7. John 1:12-13, just as Abraham's faith rested on GOD, Romans 4:16-22. Being of The Faith means being a faithful servant; Matthew 24:45-51. 'Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants Of CHRIST and stewards of The Mysteries Of GOD. In this case, moreover, it is Required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.' 1 Corinthians 4:1-2. Being imitators of such men as the Apostle Paul; 1 Corinthians 4:17 (1 Corinthians 11:1) 1 Timothy 1:12-14, that is, in both word and deed; 2 Timothy 2:1-2. It is through this faith alone, that any stand in Grace, as the Apostle Paul opens his letters and states, here in, Ephesians 1:1-2, Colossians 1:2. Faith in GOD has always been required; 'For by it men of old Gained Approval.' Hebrews 11:2, if it were not so then none would have listened to The Law and the Prophets, and Scripture would not have spoken of the faith of those who through their faith gained Approval. Hebrews 11. But now we are under Grace and not under Law, that is, no longer under a tutor (Galatians 3:23-25), Grace and Truth are realised Through JESUS CHRIST, John 1:17, WHO Is To us all, Wisdom From GOD And Righteousness And Sanctification And Redemption; 1 Corinthians 1:30-31, that we may establish The Law through faith, Romans 3:31, Matthew 5:17-20; and may be found In HIM spotless and blameless children Of GOD, above reproach in the midst of a perverse and crooked generation. Philippians 2:12-16, Colossians 1:9-23, 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13, 1 Thessalonians 5:12-24, 1 Peter 1:13-25, Jude:24-25. James 2:20; 'But are you willing to recognise, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?' This means that our 'works' shall bear witness to these things; our 'works' shall bear The Testimony Of JESUS. This shall be the outward showing of GOD'S Gracious Work in the heart of the one who truly believes in The SON Of GOD; being in accordance with The Word and never contrary to It. 1 John 2:25 - 3:12. 'Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and Truth.' 1 John 3:18. When what we believe and practice contradicts The Word in Its correct interpretation, we will know true repentance; according to The Will Of GOD. 2 Corinthians 7:10. 'The Word Of GOD Which also Performs Its Work in you who believe.' 1 Thessalonians 2:13. Because if we are truly being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT, we will know to do these things. Galatians 5:13-21. "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works and Glorify your FATHER WHO Is In Heaven." Matthew 5:16. 'Now to HIM WHO Is Able to keep you from stumbling and to make you to stand in The Presence Of HIS Glory blameless with great joy, to the Only GOD our SAVIOUR, Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD, Glory, Majesty, Dominion And Authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.' Jude:24-25.

..."Not everyone who says to ME, 'LORD, LORD,' will enter The Kingdom Of Heaven; but he who does The Will Of MY FATHER WHO Is In Heaven... Matthew 7:15-29 (v21). So what is The Will Of GOD? What does HE Say in HIS Word of HIS Will for us all?It is essential for everyone to understand correctly; being in accordance with GOD HIMSELF. Romans 3:3-6. A Christian is never to simply trust in what any mere mortal man says, or does; no matter who he is, who he says he is, or who he is regarded to be by others; but in The Word Of GOD Alone. There is no Salvation in any mere mortal man. Psalm 146, 2 Peter 1:16 - 2:3. 'THY Word Is A Lamp To my feet and A Light to my Path.' Psalm 119 (v105) ALMIGHTY GOD Says Through HIS bond-servant James, 'Therefore putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive The Word implanted, which is able to Save your souls. But prove yourselves doers of The Word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves...' James 1:21-22. And Through HIS Apostle Paul, HE Tells us that The Word Of GOD 'effectually Works,' meaning The Word is active, operative, in those who truly believe, 1 Thessalonians 2:13.This means as The Word Of GOD Speaks, so shall we do and will seek to do. We will not willingly do whatever is contrary to It; so that we do indeed become and are imitators of those written of in Scripture as being, The Church. Hebrews 10:19-39. 'But The Goal of our Instruction Is love from a pure (Cleansed) heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 1 Timothy 1:5 As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects man. Proverbs 27:19 James 3:1 - 4:10. The Message Of The Gospel is repentance for the Forgiveness of sins. Luke 24:44-47. Released from our sins By HIS Blood: Grace through faith in JESUS CHRIST. John 1:17.Romans 5:8-11, 1 Thessalonians 1:10, Revelation 1:5-6. Matthew 21:28-31. Salvation through Sanctification By The SPIRIT and faith in The Truth: 'And it was for This HE Called you through our Gospel, that you may Gain The Glory Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.' 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17. To confess JESUS before men means that we will say as, acknowledge as; assent to JESUS CHRIST only; word and deed; becoming imitators of HIM as Beloved children. Matthew 10:24-33. 1 Corinthians 10:32 - 11:1, Ephesians 4:1 - 5:21. 'For whom HE Foreknew, HE also Predestined Conformed to The Image Of HIS SON, that HE might be The First-Born among many Brethren...' Romans 8:29.'Though our outer man is decaying, our inner man is being renewed day by day.' 2 Corinthians 4:16. If we do not, then we actually live denying HIM, no matter who we are or how vigorously we declare ourselves to be a Christian. 2 Corinthians 10:17-18. GOD Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT To those who obey HIM, John 7:37-39, Acts 5:32. If we deny HIM, HE also Will deny us. Matthew 7:21-23, 2 Timothy 2:11-15; then we shall certainly be Judged with the unbelievers, despite what some will believe, uphold, preach and teach. 2 Timothy 3:16 - 4:4. 'Therefore to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.' James 4:17. 'So then, The Law Is Holy and The Commandment Is Holy And Righteous And Good.Therefore did that which is Good become death for me?May it never be!Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is Good, that through The Commandment sin might become utterly sinful.' Romans 7:12-13. There is no partiality with GOD.2 Thessalonians 1, Matthew 7:15-29, Matthew 12:46-50. Romans 2:1-16. "He who believes in The SON has Eternal Life; but he who does not obey The SON shall not see Life, but The Wrath Of GOD Abides On him." John 3:36. John 14:21-24. "If you keep MY Commandments, you will abide in MY love; just as I Have Kept MY FATHER'S Commandments and abide in HIS love. "These things I Have Spoken To you, that MY Joy may be in you, and your joy may be Made Full..." John 15:10-11. Blessed are those who hear The Word Of GOD and observe It. Luke 11:28. "For This Is The Will Of MY FATHER, that everyone who beholds The SON and believes in HIM may have Eternal Life; and I MYSELF Will Raise him Up on the Last Day." John 6:40.It is never for any Christian to merely presume that because they themselves will deem themselves a Christian that consequently these Words here Spoken By our LORD JESUS CHRIST are therefore speaking of and applying to them, being guaranteed. Psalm 19. The Words the same LORD JESUS Speaks, (here for the example), in Matthew 7:12-27, Matthew 22:1-14, Matthew 25, are Spoken of and to all professing Christians to heed as well.But these Godly Warnings, many professing Christians will like to refuse that they are Speaking to them or are of them.For those that do so, this shall be their downfall, so the Words that no professing Christian will want to hear from The Mouth Of GOD, "I never Knew you" shall indeed prove to be Prophetic Words Spoken Of them By The ONE they themselves claimed to love, honour and serve. It is to understand what means to 'behold The SON and believe in HIM' for those that truly do; these shall have Eternal Life: "For This Is The Will Of MY FATHER..." "You will know them by their fruits." Recently, and for a second time, I have found that I have been 'Shadow banned' by professing Christians after posting words online, backed by Scripture, that spoke against what they were speaking in The Name of CHRIST, and yet which actually contradicted The GOD Breathed Word: This, JESUS never did. 'Shadow banning' is when what has been posted online, in these instances on YouTube, are removed from the view of all by the channel owner, but the one who has posted the comment still sees it as being viewable, believing that all others see it as they do when accessing the page on the device or account they originally posted it on.But by accessing the same page from another device it is not seen. When this happens you know you have been 'shadow banned.'This is most certainly not for any professing Christian to do; there is no Godly integrity in such fleshly behaviour and one truly being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT will most certainly know not to do this.It is a 21st century form of disobedience to and refusing The LORD GOD. "Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts and have put right before their faces the stumbling block of their iniquity. Should I be consulted by them at all?"Therefore speak to them and tell them, 'Thus Says The LORD GOD, "Any man of the House of Israel (Romans 11:16-22, Ephesians 2:8-22) who sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and comes to the Prophet, I The LORD will be brought to Give him an Answer in the matter in view of the multitude of his idols, in order to lay hold of the hearts of the House of Israel who are estranged from ME through all their idols." ' Ezekiel 14:3-5. Has The LORD as much Delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying The Voice Of The LORD?Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, to heed than the fat of rams.'For rebellion is as the sin of divination and insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry...' 1 Samuel 15:23a....For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an Inheritance in The Kingdom Of CHRIST And GOD. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things The Wrath Of GOD Comes Upon the sons of disobedience.Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light In The LORD; walk as children Of Light (for The Fruit Of The Light consists in all Goodness And Righteousness And Truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to The LORD... Ephesians 5:1-17 (v5-10). This Precious Value, then, is for you who believe. But for those who disbelieve,"The STONE Which the builders rejected, This became The Very Corner STONE,"and,"A STONE of stumbling and A ROCK of offence.";for they stumble because they are disobedient to The Word, and to this they were also Appointed. 1 Peter 2:1-8 (v7-8). Romans chapter 12 contains instruction for the Christian walk.Verse 2, not to be conformed to this world, but being transformed by the renewing of your mind (Titus 3:1-8), verse 3, not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think; but to think so as having sound judgement; as GOD Has Allotted to each a Measure of faith, because, as is explained in verses 4-8, every believer does not have the same function in The Church Of Which CHRIST JESUS Is LORD And consequently The Head.It is HIS Church, not man's'To HIM Dominion forever and ever. Amen.' 1 Peter 5 (v11).This is widely not acknowledged, seen, or even understood in The Church today, where instead we have many Pastors doing more than Scripture attributes to a Pastor, who will also appoint through himself all who make up a 'hierarchy' in a particular Church. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Ephesians 4:7-25. 'An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule on their authority; and MY people love it so!But what will you do at the end of it?'Jeremiah 5:30-31. "Be on guard for yourselves and for all The Flock, among which The HOLY SPIRIT Has Made you overseers, to shepherd The Church Of GOD Which HE Purchased With HIS Own Blood."I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing The Flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the Disciples after them."Therefore be on the alert,... Acts 20:28-31a.This Prophetic word, spoken through the Apostle Paul, is just not acknowledged today. From verse 9 of Romans 12, 'Love without hypocrisy..., and then Paul proceeds with the very definition of what love (agape; noun) will do. Among other things written, we are instructed, to abhor what is evil; cling to what is good, to be of the same mind toward one another; not being haughty in mind but being as one with those who indeed know humility. Of not being wise in our own estimation, of respecting what is right in the sight of all men and accordingly as far as it depends on ourselves to be at peace with all men. '...and be subject to one another in the fear of CHRIST.' Ephesians 5:21. '...Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each one of you regard one another as more important than himself; do not look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.Have this attitude in yourselves which was also In CHRIST JESUS,...' Philippians 2:3-5. Being a 'Christian' who will refuse correction, who will arrogantly refuse to examine everything carefully to determine GOD'S Truth, but instead will obstinantly determine to be the authority themselves is, according to GOD, of being on the broad way that leads to destruction. See Acts 13:44-52, and know that to contradict and refuse The Word is blasphemy. And for those that repudiate The Word, in doing so they themselves judge themselves unworthy of Eternal Life. If any will refute this then they are liars and The Truth is not in them. This is an irrefutable fact.They certainly do not have the love Of GOD in themselves. Love is the fulfilment of The Law. "If anyone loves ME, he will keep MY Word; and MY FATHER Will love him and WE Will Come To him and Make OUR Abode With him."He who does not love ME does not keep MY Words; and The Word Which you hear is not MINE, but The FATHER'S WHO Sent ME... John 14:23-24. "You will know them by their fruits."We are Called not to follow such men who will willingly do this; who prove themselves no more than blind guides of the blind. Jude:1-25. "A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he?Will they not both fall into a pit?"A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher... Luke 6:39-40. See Matthew 23:8. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to The LORD, but the prayer of the upright is HIS Delight. Proverbs 15:8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, how much more when he brings it with evil intent! Proverbs 21:27. I will sing of Lovingkindness and Justice, to THEE, O LORD, I will sing praises.I will give heed to the blameless way (the way of integrity) When wilt THOU Come to me?I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away. It shall not fasten its grip on me.A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil.Whoever secretly slanders his neighbour, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me.He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; he who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me. Every morning I will destroy (silence) all the wicked of the land, so as to cut off from The City Of The LORD all those who do iniquity. Psalm 101. See also 2 John. The Will Of GOD Is our Sanctification; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-9The Will Of GOD Is our obedience and thanksgiving; 1 Thessalonians 5:14-24The Will Of GOD Is our faith, working through love, that HE May Work in us what is pleasing In HIS Sight; Hebrews 13The Will Of GOD Is that we keep our behaviour excellent before all men: as Of CHRIST; 1 Peter 2:11-25The Will Of GOD Is that we die to sin to live to Righteousness, keeping fervent in our love for one another; 1 Peter 4, 1 John 3:21 - 4:21.The Will Of GOD Is that we know humility; 1 Peter 5:1-11. 'Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, but humility goes before honour.' Proverbs 18:12. The one who knows HIM will both know and know to do these things; because HE, The SPIRIT Of Truth, Guides him: John 15:18 - 16:3. Hebrews 12:1-15. ..."They are not of the world even as I AM not of the world."Sanctify them in The Truth; THY Word Is Truth."As THOU Didst Send ME into the world, I Also have Sent them into the world. "And for their sakes I Sanctify MYSELF, that they themselves may be Sanctified in Truth."I do not Ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in ME through their word; that they may all be one; even as THOU, FATHER Art In ME And I In THEE, that they may also be In US; that the world may believe that THOU Didst Send ME."And The Glory Which THOU Hast Given ME I Have Given To them; that they may be One, just as WE Are ONE; I In them And THOU In ME, that they may be Perfected in unity, that the world may know that THOU Didst Send ME And Didst love them, even as THOU Didst love ME... John 17:16-23.

In the issue with the notes that I shared on group notes, I've recognised an error in myself in my thought pattern (Romans 12:2, John 7:24, Ephesians 4:25 - 5:2).However I did not speak it openly as I considered it within myself, the fact that I considered it within myself as I did, and even though I knew to refuse it that I may subdue the thoughts that were in me, I didn't ultimately keep them captive. I still posted on group notes who the chess.com staff member was who had contacted me in the matter. So in this suspicion that had entered my thinking as to the possible reasons for the problem I was having with notes and the settings repeatedly resetting themselves to a setting I did not want, and as it was unfolding, (and maybe also because of something that has happened with me before when I was using Myspace back in 2008/09), and was there before I had had any contact from a chess.com member in relation to the matter, I later posted who the chess.com staff member was, because after reading and replying to his message, I went to his page to see him, just as I would do with anyone here on chess that I have contact with. On seeing his page where he speaks of a previous life, it made louder a previous suspicion in my thinking and even so subtly I showed a judgement in suspicion that caused me to post as I did. What other reason would I have had for doing so? the devil is liar and the father of lies. The enemy will take any opportunity to expose where we are weak, to cause us to stumble, cause us to sin.It doesn't matter how trivial or small a discrepancy in our sentient element may be considered to be by another, it's when it shows itself and then allowed to fester and manifest itself. "A little leaven leavens the whole lump." It should matter to us as Christians and most certainly will matter to the those whose desire of the heart is, "that I may know HIM and The Power Of HIS Resurrection and the fellowship of HIS Sufferings, being Conformed to HIS Death; in order that I may attain to the Resurrection from the dead." Philippians 3:9 - 4:1 (3:10-11).1 Peter 4:1-2, John 17:3, 1 Corinthians 10:32 - 11:1.Matthew 25:14-30; 1 Peter 2:5-8, James 1:21-22. "THY Word Is A Lamp To my feet and A Light to my Path." Psalm 119:105. We ourselves alone are accountable for what we have done and shall be accountable to The LORD JESUS (Hebrews 9:27-28), personally, for all we have done in the body, and then shall be Recompenced for it; whether that is good or bad. Revelation 22. 2 Corinthians 5:1-10, v9; Luke 15:7, v10, v11-32."In repentance and rest you shall be Saved, in quietness and trust is your Strength." Isaiah 30:15. We are not to be at home in the body in our sentient element, that is, our spirit; nothing good dwells in us, that is, our flesh. Romans 7:12-25. If we cannot recognise when we have been absent from The LORD, by however that might be and in whatever that is; and consequently not knowing repentance, how do we expect to be standing dressed and clean when The Message Of The Gospel is repentance for the Forgiveness of sins?Luke 24:47, Romans 1:16-17, Romans 10:17, 1 Corinthians 15:34.Revelation 19:7-10, Matthew 22:1-14. Yes there's Grace, but we are warned not to receive The Grace Of GOD in vain, 2 Corinthians 6:1 - 7:1. Who has checked whether their lamps are alight? Matthew 25. Who tests themselves, if they are in The faith, who examines themselves? 2 Corinthians 13:5. Luke 8:4-21. 1 John 2:25-29. "...solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward GOD and faith in our LORD JESUS CHRIST..." Acts 20:21. It is not us but the devil and his angels and those who do not know GOD and those who do not obey The Gospel Of our LORD JESUS, who, subsequently rejecting and denying The Grace Of GOD, who are already Judged And Condemned. John 3:14-21, 2 Thessalonians 1, Revelation 20:7-10.James 1:13-27, 2 Corinthians 5:9-10.Matthew 7:1-2, Galatians 2:11-20, 1 John 1:3-10.Romans 8. Peace be to the Brethren and love with faith, from GOD The FATHER And THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.Grace Be With all those who love our LORD JESUS CHRIST with love incorruptible. Ephesians 6:23-24.

First of all, the Bible tells us to love the ones who hate us and forgive the ones who don't forgive us. Love must be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good. Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lack diligence; be fervent in spirit; serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer. Share with the saints in their needs; pursue hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. Be in agreement with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Try to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes. If possible, on your part, live at peace with everyone. Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for His wrath. For it is written: Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay, says the Lord. But "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. For in so doing you will be heaping fiery coals on his head." Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good. Romans 12:9-21 It tells us that don't let evil rule over you and make you do bad back, but rule over evil and do good instead, for as the song "Forgiveness" by Matthew West says: "It's always anger's own worst enemy" For if someone is angry at you, don't get angry back, show love and "forgive" them. The Bible also says to make peace with people. Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also obtained access through Him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:1-5 Don't stand at war and accept it. If someone wants to have war with you ignore it. My old best friend Jack use to be a great friend of mine until he started ignoring me. Instead of asking what was wrong, I went a long with the "war" and decided to ignore him. This war was not fighting but a war against friendship. As in there was a war in my head that was evil versus peace and love. Instead of asking him what is wrong and showing good friendship I ignored him back. That shows me as a bad friend. Now Paul is telling us that we have peace with God and rejoice about it because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us, and it seems to me that what Paul meant (I don't think it was meant to be like this but it talks to me anyway) was that if we have peace with God, we should have peace with one another and accept one another, for God wants us to get along and worship him together. Now we can only get love (a friend) if we give love (be a friend). A generous person will be enriched,and the one who gives a drink of waterwill receive water. Now this makes me think about that if we give "love" we will receive "love", instead of just with water. It also tells me that the only way to get back Jack as a friend, is to be a friend. So that is what this verse reminds me about. Now as I been saying about to make peace and don't be angry at others if they are angry about you, I love what the Bible says about "Forgiveness." Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another. Be angry and do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, and don’t give the Devil an opportunity. The thief must no longer steal. Instead, he must do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share with anyone in need. No foul language is to come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear. And don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit. You were sealed by Him for the day of redemption. All bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander must be removed from you, along with all malice. And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ. Ephesians 4:25-32 It reminds me of another song called "Forgiveness" by tobymac. In that song, he says that we all need forgiveness, and in the bridge of the song he says, "You know we need that." Which means that he knows that God knows we need "Forgiveness". If a friend turns you down don't just give up. Ask God for help and keep on searching. He also said to them: “Suppose one of you has a friend and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I don’t have anything to offer him.’ Then he will answer from inside and say, ‘Don’t bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I have gone to bed. I can’t get up to give you anything.’ I tell you, even though he won’t get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his friend’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs. “So I say to you, keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” Luke 11:5-13 Once again near the end it says if you give someone something bad because they didn't give you what you wanted or gave YOU something bad, then you are evil and not doing what God would do. This makes me think of the book "What Would Jesus Do?"it's like if your son asks for a fish, would you give him a snake instead of a fish? Well "What Would Jesus Do?" And if someone turns you down would you yell and get mad at them, or would you seek help from someone else? Once again "What Would Jesus Do?" well he would not get mad and not give the snake but give what was asked for and "forgive" the person who would not give him what he asked for. For when Jesus was dying on the cross he said "Father, please forgive them for they don't know what they're doing." So also if you get turned down don't give up. I'm not saying don't give up and keep begging the person to give you the three loaves of bread, try someone else and say nicely "Please friend, lend me three loaves of bread because my friend has no food I can offer him." Don't say "This dumb friend of mine would not give me three loaves of bread, not I want you to give me three right now!" just be nice to the person who rejected and the other person. Do not judge people without knowing what happened or why it happened. Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2 The awesome song called "Jesus Friend Of Sinners" says at one point, "No one knows what we're for only against when we judge the wounded." Even if we judge anybody, we are not doing a godly thing. For even again, you need to ask the question "What Would Jesus Do?" Jesus would not judge anyone at anytime. He would not say "you have been judged bad" He would say "you are bad, but you have been forgiven because I love you" Isn't that why He died on the cross for us? Of course! He forgave our sins because he loved us, and he still loves us and forever will. It is also saying that if we do judge, people can't see it we are for God or the devil, but only who we are against cause we are doing something Jesus would never do. Now on chess.com itself someone named GOLDLORD230 told me that he didn't like me because I had said something that he never liked. He misunderstood me, and I misunderstood him. He meant that he didn't like people who say things like I did, and he thought that I meant he was lame for complaining about having 7 clubs that he was in when I was in 99. He misunderstood me. But it was my fault too. I thought he was mad at me and didn't like me anymore. He meant people LIKE me not me myself. If you want to be like God (not be Him yourself), follow him and do what he does. If you believe in Him, you would have kindness, patience, and the most of all forgiveness. Bur if you don't, you are showing that you don't care about people and that is NOT what Jesus would do. Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. Colossians 3:12-13 Now talking about "What Would Jesus Do" the song "I Will Follow" is talking about doing what… well what Jesus would do, "Where you go, I'll go Where you stay, I'll stay When you move, I'll move I will follow you Who you love, I'll love How you serve I'll serve If this life I lose, I will follow you I will follow you" It may not say this but following God you also can say, "When You forgive I'll forgive" That is what Jesus would do. Now if all of this stuff is too hard, pray to God to help you try it. It may be hard, but ask God to guide you through it all. Tiffany Arbuckle says in her song "I Can't Do This" "I can't do this I can't do this I can't do this by myself I can't do this I can't do this Oh, God I need your help" When do I do all this? Do it the moment you can. Skillet says in his song "One Day Too Late" "Today I'm gonna try a little harder Gonna make every minute last longer Gonna learn to forgive and forget Cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it (Today) Today I'm gonna love my enemies (today) Reach out to somebody who needs me Make a change, make the world a better place Cause tomorrow could be one day too late One day too late One day too late" Thank you for viewing this. Thanks a lot! I hope you loved this Devotion I made! What next? Keep on reading the Bible and loving your God Jesus Christ! You really think I don't know all this? You possibly do. But I want to give this to other people, my other friends, and maybe doing something more. How long did this take you? 2 hours just because I wrote down the verses and searched them then copied and pasted them. Anything else? No that is all, FOR NOW! ? I might do more in the feature. ANYTHING ELSE??? No, but please say something about how I did and ETC. Okay thanks, bye! Bye and thanks so much for reading it all!!!

Salvation: Never to be understood as the Gift ‘of’ Grace, but Always The Gift ‘By’ Grace. And The Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in Wisdom; and The Grace Of GOD Was Upon HIM. Luke 2:40. From misunderstandings come false doctrine spoken by those who are ever learning yet never able to come to The Knowledge Of The Truth, deceiving and being deceived, leading astray all who will listen to them. There are many variations of Christianity and teachings thereof put forth, each having their own followers yet where every man’s own word becomes the oracle. To say, ‘gift of Grace’ in relation to Salvation is quite wrong and you will find it in no place in Scripture. If any believe I am wrong in my understanding then someone must show to me my error, from Scripture alone, that I may repent. The Gift ‘By’ The Grace Of GOD (i.e., Romans 5:15, v17) is stating faith according to; in conformity with Grace. Saved By (according to) Grace, Through (by the way or agency of; by reason of or in consequence of) faith. ...that, as sin reigned in death, even so Grace might reign through Righteousness to Eternal Life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Romans 5:21 (John 3:36). This means that to realise Grace, that is, to be standing in Grace, one must first have faith in JESUS CHRIST and hold to faith in JESUS CHRIST. It is not mere credence (a belief as to the truth) but a continual living all the days of our lives. (James 2:19-20). For The Law was Given Through Moses; Grace and Truth were realised Through JESUS CHRIST. John 1:17. Grace and Truth were realised, that is, come into being by reason of JESUS CHRIST; our consequent faith in HIM. (John 15:26-27, 16:13-15, 1 John 2:24-29). So faith comes from hearing and hearing by The Word Of CHRIST. Romans 10:17. For I am not ashamed of The Gospel, for It Is The Power Of GOD For Salvation To everyone who believes, To the Jew first and also To the Greek (Gentile). For in It The Righteousness Of GOD Is Revealed from faith to faith; as It Is Written, “But the Righteous shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17. No faith in accordance with GOD = no Grace. No Grace = a refusal to believe in accordance with GOD: Not working together with HIM. 2 Corinthians 6:1 – 7:1. Test yourselves if you are in The faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognise this about yourselves, that JESUS CHRIST is in you – unless indeed you fail the test? But I trust that you will realise that we ourselves do not fail the test. Now we pray to GOD that you do no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we should appear unapproved. For we can do nothing against The Truth, but for The Truth… 2 Corinthians 13:5-8. “If you love ME, you will keep MY Commandments. “And I Will Ask The FATHER and HE Will Give you another Helper, that HE May Be With you forever; The SPIRIT Of Truth, WHOM the world cannot receive, because it does not behold HIM or know HIM, but you know HIM because HE Abides With you and Will Be in you. John 14:15-17 (1 Peter 1:2) ...in order that The Name Of our LORD JESUS may be Glorified in you, and you In HIM, according to The Grace Of our GOD And The LORD JESUS CHRIST. 2 Thessalonians 1:12. For we Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The Hope Of Righteousness… Galatians 5:5. Therefore having been Justified by faith, we have peace with GOD Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Through WHOM also we have Obtained our Introduction by faith into this Grace in Which we stand; and we exult in Hope Of The Glory Of GOD… Romans 5:1-2. There is no place for any to be speaking in The Church which The LORD our GOD Purchased With HIS Own Blood (Acts 20:24-32, Matthew 13), anything that is contrary to the fact that our Salvation is The Gift ‘By’ The Grace Of GOD and is realised through faith. But The Free Gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one (Adam) the many died, much more did The Grace Of GOD And The Gift By The Grace Of The One MAN, JESUS CHRIST, Abound To the many. Romans 5:15. We ourselves are responsible for both recognising false teachers and those who do not abide in The Teaching Of CHRIST, and turning away from them, which, for not doing so, there shall be no excuses when we shall, as all will, stand before The Judgement Seat Of CHRIST (2 Corinthians 2:14 – 7:1, 2 John:6-11). But know this first of all, that no Prophecy Of Scripture is of one’s own interpretation, for no Prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men Moved By The HOLY SPIRIT Spoke From GOD. But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying The MASTER WHO Bought them, bringing swift Destruction upon themselves. And many will follow their sensuality and because of them The Way Of The Truth will be maligned; and in greed they will exploit you with false words; their Judgement from Long Ago is not idle, and their Destruction is not asleep. 2 Peter 1:20 – 2:3. Deuteronomy 13:1-5, Galatians 5:19-21, Titus 3:10. Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common Salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for The faith Which was Once For all Delivered to the Saints. For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long before Hand Marked out for this Condemnation, ungodly persons who turn The Grace Of our GOD into licentiousness and deny our only MASTER And LORD, JESUS CHRIST. Now I desire to remind you, though you know all things once for all, that The LORD (JESUS), after Saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently Destroyed those who did not believe… Jude:3-5. All Scripture is clear; even if those who will stand before others as teachers (falsely) of The Oracles Of GOD yet who are not straight forward with The Truth, but instead cause divisions in their distortions, being untaught and unstable: any are Saved only By Grace through faith in JESUS CHRIST; and before The FATHER we are Called to be Holy and blameless in love, ...HE Predestined us to Adoption as sons through JESUS CHRIST To HIMSELF, according to The Kind Intention Of HIS Will, to the praise of The Glory Of HIS Grace, Which HE Freely Bestowed on us In The BELOVED (Through faith in JESUS CHRIST). In HIM we have Redemption Through HIS Blood, the Forgiveness of our trespasses, according to The Riches Of HIS Grace, Which HE Lavished Upon us. In all Wisdom and Insight HE Made Known To us The Mystery Of HIS Will (The Mystery is CHRIST In you; The Hope Of Glory; Colossians 1:26-27), according to HIS Kind Intention Which HE Purposed In HIM with a view to an Administration suitable to the Fullness of the times, the Summing Up of all things In CHRIST, things in the Heavens and things upon the earth. In HIM also we have Obtained an Inheritance, having been Predestined according to HIS Purpose WHO Works all things after The Counsel Of HIS Will, to the end that we who were the first to hope In CHRIST should be to the praise of HIS Glory. In HIM, you also, after listening to The Message Of Truth, The Gospel Of your Salvation – having also believed, you were Sealed In HIM With The HOLY SPIRIT Of Promise, WHO Is Given As A Pledge Of our Inheritance, with a view to The Redemption Of Possession, to the praise Of HIS Glory… Ephesians 1:5-14. ...The Oath Which HE Swore To Abraham our father (Galatians 3:5-9), to Grant us that we, being Delivered from the hands of our enemies, might serve HIM without fear, In Holiness And Righteousness before HIM all our days… Luke 1:73-75. No faith = no Grace. No Grace = a refusal to believe in JESUS CHRIST in accordance with The Glorious Gospel Of The Blessed GOD, or, in a single word; disobedience. ...And having been Made Perfect, HE Became To all those who obey HIM (who truly live by faith In HIM) The Source Of Eternal Salvation, being Designated By GOD As A High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek… Hebrews 5:9-10. ...Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and greed, which amounts to idolatry. For it is on account of these things that The Wrath Of GOD Will Come Upon the sons of disobedience… Colossians 3:5-6. We enter into this Grace in Which we stand through no other way but by faith alone: For The Law was Given Through Moses; Grace and Truth were realised Through JESUS CHRIST. John 1:17. ...Therefore having been Justified by faith, we have peace with GOD Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Through WHOM also we have Obtained our Introduction by faith into this Grace in Which we stand; and we exult in Hope Of The Glory Of GOD. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, Hope; and Hope does not disappoint, because The Love Of GOD has been Poured Out within our hearts Through The HOLY SPIRIT WHO was Given to us. For while we were still helpless, at the Right Time (Galatians 4:4-7) CHRIST Died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a Righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But GOD Demonstrates HIS Own Love Toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, CHRIST Died For us. Much more then, having now been Justified By HIS Blood, we shall be Saved from The Wrath (Of GOD) Through HIM… Romans 5:1-9. Salvation Belongs To The LORD (Psalm 3:8, Jonah 2:8-9) and it is that faith alone, as perfectly stated by the Apostle Paul here in Romans 5:1-9 and is spoken throughout all Scripture, is that which causes one to be standing in Grace. ...obtaining as the outcome of your faith the Salvation of your soul… 1 Peter 1:9. ...And The Law came in that the transgression might increase (Romans 7:1-13); but where sin increased, Grace abounded all the more, that, as sin reigned in death, even so Grace might reign through Righteousness to Eternal Life Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD (that is, Grace reigns through Righteousness by obedience of faith). What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that Grace might increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been Baptised into CHRIST JESUS have been Baptised into HIS Death? Therefore we have been buried With HIM Through Baptism into death, in order that as CHRIST Was Raised from the dead Through The Glory Of The FATHER, so we too might walk in newness of life (Romans 10:17, 1 Corinthians 2:9-16, John 16:5-15, Galatians 5:5, 1 Peter 3:8 – 4:11). For if we have become United With (HIM) in the likeness of HIS Death, certainly we shall be also Of HIS Resurrection (Philippians 3:9 – 4:1), knowing this, that our old self was crucified with (HIM), that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin… Romans 5:20 – 6:7. Grace reigns through Righteousness to Eternal Life, according to Scripture, and faith brings Righteousness, according to Scripture. For if by the transgression of the one (Adam), death reigned through the one, much more those who Receive the Abundance Of Grace and Of The Gift Of Righteousness will reign in life Through The ONE, JESUS CHRIST. Romans 5:17. Saved By Grace through faith in JESUS CHRIST. Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone slaves of obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in Righteousness. Romans 6:16. And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air (satan), of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. (and which we remain dead in our trespasses if we yet still continue to live in disobedience to The Word and insulting The SPIRIT Of Grace, 1 Peter 2:1-8, Hebrews 10:26-39) Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children Of Wrath, even as the rest. But GOD, Being Rich In Mercy, because of HIS Great love With Which HE loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions (Romans 5:6-17), Made us alive together In CHRIST (By Grace you have been Saved), and Raised us Up With HIM, and Seated us With HIM in The Heavenly, In CHRIST JESUS, in order that in the ages to come HE might Show the Surpassing Riches Of HIS Grace In Kindness Toward us In CHRIST JESUS (that is, HE might Show us the Surpassing Riches Of HIS Grace In Kindness Toward us through our faith in HIM). For By Grace you have been Saved through faith; and that not of yourselves(Romans 3:9-20), The Gift Of GOD(Romans 3:21-31); not as a result of works, that no one should boast. For we are HIS Workmanship, Created In CHRIST JESUS for Good works, Which GOD Prepared Beforehand that we should walk in Them… Ephesians 2:1-10. Behold, as for the proud one, his soul is not right within him; but the Righteous shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:4. Faith in GOD has always been required, for by it men of old gained Approval. Hebrews 11:2. And without faith it is impossible to please (HIM), for he who comes to GOD must believe that HE Is and HE Is A Rewarder Of those who seek HIM. Hebrews 11:6. To us now, in The New Covenant In HIS Blood, faith in JESUS CHRIST, For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner Of CHRIST JESUS for the sake of you Gentiles – if indeed you have heard of the stewardship Of GOD’S Grace Which was Given To me for you; that by Revelation there was Made Known to me The Mystery, as I wrote before in brief. And by referring to this, when you read you can understand my Insight into The Mystery Of CHRIST, which in other generations was not Made Known to the sons of men, as it has now been Revealed To HIS Holy Apostles and Prophets In The SPIRIT; that the Gentiles are now fellow heirs and fellow members Of The Body, and fellow partakers Of The Promise In CHRIST JESUS Through The Gospel, of which I was Made a minister, according to The Gift Of GOD’S Grace Which was Given To me according to The Working Of HIS Power… Ephesians 3:1-7. Here, The Gift Of GOD’S Grace Which was Given To me according to The Working Of HIS Power, ‘Of’ is indicating a component part, substance, derivation, origin, the source. i.e., But to each one of us Grace was Given according to the Measure of CHRIST’S Gift. Therefore it says, “When HE Ascended On High, HE Led captive a host of captives, and HE Gave Gifts to men.” (Now this, “HE Ascended,” what does it mean except that HE also had Descended into the lower parts of the earth? HE WHO Descended Is HIMSELF also HE WHO Ascended Far Above All the Heavens, that HE might Fill all things.) And HE Gave some Apostles and some Prophets and some Evangelists and some Pastors and Teachers, for the equipping of the Saints For The Work of service, to the Building Up of The Body Of CHRIST; until we all attain to The Unity of The faith, and of The Knowledge Of The SON Of GOD, to a mature man, to the Measure of the Stature which Belongs to the Fullness Of CHRIST. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking The Truth in love (agape), we are to grow up in all into HIM, WHO Is The Head, CHRIST, From WHOM the whole Body (The Church), being Fitted and Held together by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the Growth of The Body for the Building Up of Itself in love (agape)… Ephesians 4:7-16 (1 Corinthians 12). Here Paul is speaking of GOD’S Grace To him in his Apostleship In CHRIST, set apart for The Gospel Of GOD. ‘Gift of Grace’ is not applied to Salvation in the same way. It cannot be stating that Grace is The Gift Of GOD, written, as an example, in such as Ephesians 2:8-10. To do this here is to refuse and thus invalidate faith in the interpretation. It is The Gift (that being faith In CHRIST) ‘By’ Grace: By Grace you have been Saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves; The Gift Of GOD… Saved By Grace through faith. ‘By’ meaning, according to, in conformity with, through the agency of, efficacy, participation, authority of, on the basis of, Grace. i.e., Philippians 1:3-7. you have been Saved, ‘Through’ (preposition) by the means or instrumentality of, by the way or agency of, by reason or consequence of, faith, and that not of yourselves; The Gift Of GOD; not as a result of works, that no one should boast… ...according to The Foreknowledge Of GOD The FATHER, By The Sanctifying Work Of The SPIRIT, that you may obey JESUS CHRIST And Be Sprinkled With HIS Blood: May Grace and Peace be yours in Fullest Measure. Blessed Be The GOD And FATHER Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO according to HIS Great Mercy has Caused us to be born again to a Living Hope Through The Resurrection Of JESUS CHRIST From the dead, to an Inheritance Imperishable And Undefiled and will not fade away, Reserved In Heaven For you, who are Protected By The Power Of GOD Through faith for a Salvation ready to be Revealed in the last time… ...obtaining as the outcome of your faith the Salvation of souls. As to this Salvation, the Prophets who Prophesied of The Grace To you made careful search and inquiry, seeking to know what Person or Time The SPIRIT Of CHRIST within them was Indicating as HE Predicted the Sufferings Of CHRIST and the Glories to Follow… 1 Peter 1:2-5 and v9-11. ...So then, my Beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your Salvation with fear and trembling; for It Is GOD WHO Is At Work in you, both to Will and to Work For (HIS) Good Pleasure. Do all things without grumbling or disputing; that you may prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children Of GOD above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, holding fast The Word Of Life, so that in The Day Of CHRIST I may have cause to Glory because I did not run in vain or toil in vain… Philippians 2:12-16. For this reason it is by faith, that in accordance with Grace in order that The Promise may be certain to all the descendants, not only to those who are of The Law, but also to those who are of The faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (as It Is Written, “A father of many nations have I Made you”) in The Sight Of HIM WHOM he believed, GOD, WHO Gives life to the dead and Calls into being that which does not exist… Romans 4:16-17. (Galatians 3:16-29). Beloved, do not believe every spirit (of man), but test the spirits (their sentient element) to see whether they are from GOD; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know The SPIRIT Of GOD: every spirit that confesses JESUS CHRIST Has Come in the flesh Is from GOD; and every spirit that does not confess (agree or concur with) JESUS is not from GOD; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that is coming and now it is already in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world and the world listens to them. We are from GOD; he who knows GOD listens to us; he who is not from GOD does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of Truth and the spirit of error. 1 John 4:1-6. And The LORD’S bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps GOD may Grant them repentance leading to The Knowledge Of The Truth, and they may come to their senses from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of GOD; holding to a form of godliness although they have denied Its Power; and avoid such men as these. 2 Timothy 2:24 – 3:5. But since we are of The Day, let us be sober, having put on The Breastplate Of faith and love (agape) and as a helmet, The Hope Of Salvation. For GOD has not destined us for Wrath, but for obtaining Salvation Through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO Died For us, that whether awake or asleep, we may live together With HIM. 1 Thessalonians 1:5-8-9 For The Grace Of GOD Has Appeared, Bringing Salvation To all men, Instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, Righteously and Godly in the present age, looking for the Blessed Hope and The Appearing Of our Great GOD And SAVIOUR, CHRIST JESUS; WHO Gave HIMSELF For us, that HE might Redeem us from every lawless deed and Purify For HIMSELF a people For HIS Own Possession, zealous for Good deeds. These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you. Titus 2:11-15. Then you will say on that Day, “I will give thanks to THEE, O LORD; for although THOU Wast Angry with me, THINE Anger is turned away and THOU Dost Comfort me. “Behold, GOD Is my Salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For The LORD GOD Is my Strength And Song and HE Has Become my Salvation.” Therefore you will joyously draw water from The Springs Of Salvation. And in That Day you will say, “Give thanks to The LORD, call on HIS Name. Make known HIS Deeds among the peoples; make them remember that HIS Name Is Exalted.” Praise The LORD in song, for HE Has Done Excellent Things; Let this be known throughout the earth. Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for Great in your midst Is The HOLY ONE Of Israel. Isaiah 12.

For The Attention Of The Church: The Inadequate Historical Precedent… Someone, not so long ago, sent me this link. It Blessed me in being a confirmation of what The LORD has been Showing me throughout Scripture since August 2008; of what is Truth, and what is a grave error believed on by many millions upon millions of people, since its introduction into the world and to the present day. I thank GOD for HIS Grace To me, and that HE Put on my heart to read only my Bible, to maintain a belief in The Holy Scriptures alone, and with this a hunger to know HIM. May all be to HIS Praise And Glory Through JESUS CHRIST. Amen. The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are Given By ONE SHEPHERD. But beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion is wearying to the body. The conclusion, when all has been heard: fear GOD and keep HIS Commandments, because this applies to every person. For GOD Will Bring every act to Judgement, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12:11-14. http://www.fwponline.cc/v21n1/v21n1witzki.html

A letter to one being led astray by false teaching A brief explanation: Not so long ago I met with a Sister whom I had first known when I first believed. We hadn’t seen one another for about seven years. It was clear to me that since we had last enjoyed fellowship together she is now following a teaching that is something I do not recognise, and is religiously observing things from The Law and days and festivals, all of which on first hearing, to me, clearly conflicted with the Scriptures and the faith of The Gospel Of CHRIST, and I attempted to tell her so. She told me the name’s of ‘teachers’ that she was listening to (names I have already forgotten) and she also gave me a link to a video, stating that she trusted the one who speaks in the video. With this she stated to me that on my watching this video it would clear up my misconception (the word she used) as to how I am believing and understanding. I somewhat reluctantly watched the video, not trusting that it would be as she was believing it would be for me, but to see exactly what was being spoken and how the Scriptures were being interpreted which had caused her to believe as she now did from the Christian I had known before. I told her that I would reply to her from all I heard and all that she was now professing to me, from Scripture alone. I felt to share here and which was confirmed by another Christian I had confided in on the matter, before I had told them of what I had felt to do. I share here because it seems there are many who believe in this teaching, and it just does not sit well with me to not speak Truth into a lie that misleads professing believers in CHRIST when I hear it. No lie is of The Truth, and no liar has Eternal Life abiding in them. We may hear truth in what is being spoken, but when it is accompanied with lies then it is all lies; not being of The Sound Words; those Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. ...And HE was Saying To them, “Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it shall be Measured to you: and more shall be Given you besides. “For whoever has, to him shall be Given; and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be Taken Away from him.” Mark 4:24-25. Yet By Grace, through faith, GOD Gives repentance. HE desires none perish, but all come to repentance. 2 Timothy 2:23-26, 2 Peter 3:9-18. I have here obscured her name in the letter. Dear ****, I write to you as I said that I would, in answer to the things that you are choosing to believe in and follow as being of the truth of The Gospel, and as I said to you, that I would answer them from Scripture. In professing our allegiance to GOD we take responsibility both for what we will believe in and follow and accordingly what we will both teach and give example of to others. For we know, that we shall all stand before The Judgement Seat Of CHRIST and shall give an account to HIM for all we have done in the body, whether good or bad. Even for every careless word spoken. Please read what I say, and believe The Holy Scriptures only. Not me, not any other man, but GOD Alone. Let us not reject so Great a Salvation through any pride and arrogance before both GOD and man. I both saw and heard in this video link which you sent to me to watch, this man speaking, of whom you stated to me, “I agree with this guy”, stating, that those we read of in the New Testament did not have the New Testament as we have it, and this seemed to be his basis for ignoring what Is Written in it and basing his teaching as a professing believer in CHRIST on the Old Testament, namely, teaching of observing things from The Law, believing that this is the same as living fulfilling The Law. But in this there is great error. GOD in HIS Infinite Wisdom has Given the world the Knowledge of The New Covenant In HIS Blood through these men we read of and from in the New Testament Scriptures, just as HE Gave to the Jews the Holy Scriptures, and now also the Gentiles through HIS MESSIAH the Scriptures we know as the Old Testament; Men Moved By The HOLY SPIRIT Spoke From GOD. And as I said to you face to face, the New Testament will not once contradict the Old Testament. And we must accept vice versa. This man quite rightly said that the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST and the believers of their time, (who are those Scripture Speaks of as being the ‘First Fruits among HIS creatures’ James 1:18), did not have the New Testament written as we now do. But what he and those who will listen to him fail to see through this ‘insight’ is that those we read of in the New Testament believed in the Scriptures (the Old Testament), and from them they preached JESUS CHRIST (1.e., Acts 8:35, Acts 28:23), whilst also being eye witnesses of HIS Majesty, and so having the Prophetic Word made more sure. Our LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF Prayed, ...“I do not Ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in ME through their word; that they may all be One; even as THOU, FATHER, In ME, And I In THEE, that they may also be In US; that the world may believe that THOU Didst Send ME… John 17:20-21. We cannot, we must not, argue from ourselves and in our own wisdom, but when we as professing believers in GOD stand as believers in The One True GOD, we must also stand on the testimonies of these men. Otherwise, how are we believing in GOD, and whose wisdom are we following? Scripture tells us, that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed. For me, whether that is from Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15-19), Isaiah (Isaiah 53), Daniel (Daniel 2:20-22), or through Job (Job 42:1-7), the Apostle John, (John 21:24, 1 John 1), the Apostle Paul (Romans 1:1-7), or the Apostle Peter (2 Peter 1:16-21), as believers in GOD we accept the testimony of such men as these only, and refuse whatever and whoever will contradict them, lest we find ourselves fighting against GOD HIMSELF. Please always remember, ****, if we say we believe in GOD then we will only listen to HIM. Please carefully read the Scriptures I have both written reference to and written out. Give HIM your time in this, rather than any mere man, and let us not reject so Great a Salvation. For whether Old Testament or New, they all point to and speak of JESUS MESSIAH. Therefore remember, that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision”, which is performed in the flesh by human hands – that you were at that time separate from CHRIST, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to The Covenants Of Promise, having no hope and without GOD in the world. But now In CHRIST JESUS you who were formerly far off have been Brought Near By The Blood Of CHRIST. For HE HIMSELF Is our Peace, WHO Made both One, and Broke Down the barrier of the dividing wall, by Abolishing In HIS Flesh the enmity, which is The Law of Commandments in ordinances, that In HIMSELF HE might Make the two into One New man, establishing Peace, and might Reconcile them both in One Body To GOD Through The Cross, By It (The Cross) having put to death the enmity. And HE Came and Preached Peace to you who were far away, and Peace To those who were near; for Through HIM we both have our Access In ONE SPIRIT To The FATHER. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow Citizens with the Saints, and are Of GOD’S Household, having been Built upon The Foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF Being The Corner, In WHOM the whole Building, being Fitted Together is Growing Into A Holy Temple In The LORD; In WHOM you also are being Built together Into A Dwelling Of GOD In The SPIRIT. For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner Of CHRIST JESUS for the sake of you Gentiles – if indeed you have heard of the Stewardship Of GOD’S Grace Which was Given to me for you; that by Revelation there was Made Known to me The Mystery, as I wrote before in brief. And by referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into The Mystery Of CHRIST, which in other generations was not Made Known to the sons of men, as It has now been Revealed To HIS Holy Apostles and Prophets In The SPIRIT; that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members Of The Body, and fellow partakers Of The Promise In CHRIST JESUS Through The Gospel,... Ephesians 2:11 – 3:6. ...But The Goal of our Instruction is agape from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of The Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions. But we know that The Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realising the fact that The Law is not made for a Righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers and mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to Sound Teaching, according to The Glorious Gospel Of The Blessed GOD, with which I have been Entrusted. 1 Timothy 1:5-11. The Goal; the limit, the result of the process, the fulfilment, the aim or purpose; the end of our Instruction is what we are to be indeed aiming for, Given to all mankind from GOD Through JESUS MESSIAH, which is, agape from a pure (Cleansed) heart and a good conscience, indeed a sincere faith. Faith without hypocrisy; unfeigned. The Greek word translated as ‘Goal’ in another place is, skopos, it means primarily ‘a watcher’ (from skopeo, to look at; from where the English word., ‘scope’. Skopos denotes a mark on which to fix the eye, and is used metaphorically of an aim or object in Philippians 3:14, ...I press on toward The Goal for The Prize Of The Upward Call Of GOD In CHRIST JESUS… The word translated as ‘Goal’ here in 1 Timothy 1:5 from the nasb translation (translated as either: end, effect, sum, reason, aim, in other translations) is in the Greek, ‘telos’. It is The Word Of ‘Faith’ alone which brings Salvation. There is a difference between living observing from The Law and living fulfilling The Law; The former is dead works, the latter is Life. See Luke 10:25-28. ...Brethren, my heart’s desire and my prayer to GOD for them is for Salvation. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for GOD, but not in accordance with Knowledge. For not knowing about GOD’S Righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they (the Jews) did not subject themselves to The Righteousness Of GOD (JESUS CHRIST). For CHRIST is the end (telos; the final issue, result of a process) of The Law for (towards) Righteousness To everyone who believes. For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on The Law shall live by that righteousness. But the Righteousness based on faith speaks thus, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into Heaven?’ (that is, to bring CHRIST down), or ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring CHRIST up from the dead).” But what does it say? “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”- that is, The Word Of faith Which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth JESUS LORD, and believe in your heart that GOD Raised HIM from the dead, you shall be Saved; for with the heart man believes (Luke 8:15), resulting in Righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in Salvation. For The Scripture Says, “Whoever believes in HIM will not be disappointed.”… Romans 10:1-11. What then means believing in GOD’S MESSIAH if not to believe that HE Is the end to The Law for righteousness? Because Scripture is clear; CHRIST Is the end of The Law for righteousness To everyone who believes in HIM. This, because, believing in HIM means hearing HIS Words and keeping HIS Commandments (John 14:21-24, John 15:1-14) and through this obedience of faith, that is, acknowledging JESUS As LORD; The MASTER to be obeyed (Romans 10:8-11, Acts 17:30-31) GOD Gives HIS HOLY SPIRIT To you (Luke 17:1-10, John 7:37-39, Acts 2:38, Acts 5:32) that we may indeed, Through HIS SPIRIT, in all respects, obey JESUS CHRIST and be Sprinkled With HIS Blood (1 Peter 1:2) and grow in The Grace and Knowledge Of GOD The FATHER And Of JESUS CHRIST (2 Peter 1:2-11); that The Righteousness Of GOD may be disclosed to us, revealed in us, from faith and towards faith (Romans 1:16-17). For we through The SPIRIT By faith are waiting for The Hope Of Righteousness. Galatians 5:5. To religiously observe days written in The Law of Moses, such as, and for the example, the day of atonement, it is to take away from GOD’S Finished Work on The Cross. It is an insult to CHRIST; WHO Is The Sacrifice for sin Once For all (Hebrews 7:11-28, & Hebrews chapters 8 to 10) What was the day of atonement for? It was to make atonement for sin on behalf of the people before The LORD GOD. See Leviticus 16:11, Leviticus 16:14-19, Leviticus 16:29-31. ‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I Have Given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.’ Leviticus 17:11. And while they were eating, JESUS took bread, and after a Blessing, HE Broke It and Gave To HIS Disciples, and Said, “Take, eat; This Is MY Body.” And when HE had taken a cup and Given Thanks, HE Gave To them, Saying, “Drink from it, all of you; for This Is MY Blood Of The Covenant, Which Is Poured Out For many for Forgiveness of sins. “But I Say To you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until That Day when I Drink It New With you In MY FATHER’S Kingdom.” Matthew 26:26-29. Now we know that whatever The Law Says, It speaks to those who are under The Law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may become accountable to GOD; because by the works of The Law no flesh will be Justified In HIS Sight; for through The Law comes the knowledge of sin. (See also Romans 7:4-25) But now apart from The Law The Righteousness Of GOD Has Been Manifested, being witnessed by The Law and the Prophets, even Righteousness Of GOD Through faith In JESUS CHRIST for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of The Glory Of GOD, being Justified as a Gift By HIS Grace Through The Redemption Which Is In CHRIST JESUS; WHOM GOD Displayed publicly as a Propitiation In HIS Blood through faith, to Demonstrate HIS Righteousness, because In The Forbearance Of GOD HE Passed Over the sins previously committed; for The Demonstration Of HIS Righteousness at the present time, that HE might Be Just And The Justifier Of the one who has faith in JESUS. Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of Law? Of works? No, but by a Law Of faith. For we maintain that a man is Justified by faith apart (separate) from works of The Law... Romans 3:19-28. We are warned by the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST (and I accept no word from those who shall spuriously state the Apostle Paul being a false Apostle. This they speak as they do from themselves being without knowledge) to not fall back into and to not be persuaded by men to begin to observe the things written in The Law as works to do them. It was for this reason why Paul wrote to The Church at Galatia. We too must accept what he says and heed the warning. Believers In CHRIST according to GOD shall do so. I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting HIM WHO Called you By The Grace Of CHRIST, for a different gospel; which is not another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort The Gospel Of CHRIST. But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed (devoted to Destruction) As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you Received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the favour of men, or Of GOD? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant Of CHRIST. For I would have you know, Brethren, that The Gospel Which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but through a revelation of JESUS CHRIST… Galatians 1:6-12. And as Paul continues in his correction to The Church at Galatia, and to any, from that day and to The Day of Eternity who are being deceived in like manner, You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes JESUS CHRIST was publicly portrayed Crucified? This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you Receive The SPIRIT by the works of The Law, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun By The SPIRIT, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain - if indeed it was in vain? Does HE then, WHO Provides you with The SPIRIT and Works Miracles among you, do it by the works of The Law, or by hearing with faith? Even so Abraham believed GOD and it was Reckoned To him as Righteousness. Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. And The Scripture, foreseeing that GOD would Justify the Gentiles by faith, preached The Gospel beforehand To Abraham, “All the nations shall be Blessed in you.” So then those who are of faith are Blessed with Abraham, the believer. For as many as are of the works of The Law are under a curse; for It Is Written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things Written In The Book of The Law, to perform them.” Now that no one is Justified by The Law Before GOD is evident; for, “The Righteous man shall live by faith.” However, The Law is not of faith; on the contrary, “He who practices them shall live by them.” CHRIST Redeemed us from the curse of The Law, having become a curse for us - for It Is Written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree” - in order that In CHRIST JESUS the Blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might Receive The Promise Of The SPIRIT Through faith. … Galatians 3:1-14. JESUS MESSIAH: SON Of The MOST HIGH: THE MAJESTIC GLORY; our Heavenly FATHER WHO HIMSELF Alone Qualifies us to share in The Inheritance Of the Saints In Light (and not by any teachings of men), Speaks By HIS SPIRIT Through the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, In HIM we have Redemption Through HIS Blood, the Forgiveness of our trespasses according to The Riches Of HIS Grace, Which HE Lavished Upon us. In all Wisdom and Insight HE Made Known To us The Mystery Of HIS Will, according to HIS Kind Intention Which HE Purposed In HIM (JESUS CHRIST) with a view to an Administration suitable to The Fullness of the times, the Summing Up Of All Things In CHRIST, things in the Heavens and things upon the earth. In HIM also we have Obtained an Inheritance, having been Predestined according to HIS Purpose who Works all things after The Counsel Of HIS Will, to the end that we who were the first to hope In CHRIST should be to the praise of HIS Glory. In HIM, you also, after listening to The Message Of Truth, The Gospel Of your Salvation – having also believed, you were Sealed In HIM With The HOLY SPIRIT Of Promise, WHO Is Given as a Pledge Of our Inheritance, with a view to the Redemption Of Possession, to the Praise Of HIS Glory. Ephesians 1:7-14. My little children, I am writing these things to you that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have An ADVOCATE With The FATHER, JESUS CHRIST The Righteous; And HE HIMSELF Is The Propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also For the whole world. And by this we know if we have come to know HIM, if we keep HIS Commandments… 1 John 2:1-3. The word, ‘Propitiation’ is the corresponding word in the Greek to atonement. Then in the same vein onto this teaching of the wearing of tassels (Numbers 15:38-41), and this being taught by some because JESUS CHRIST wore them in the days of HIS Flesh, and to them this means walking as HE Walked. Firstly, what was the reason GOD Commanded Israel to wear these on their garments, and was written in The Law for them to observe? ...”And it shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the Commandments Of The LORD, so as to do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot, in order that you may remember to do all MY Commandments, and be Holy to your GOD. “I AM The LORD your GOD WHO Brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your GOD; I AM The LORD your GOD.” Numbers 15:39-41. What those who teach these things fail to recognise in how they are understanding is that The New Covenant Is In HIS Blood; and this was not until The Cross, ...”If any man is thirsty, let him come to ME and drink. “He who believes in ME, as The Scripture Said, ‘From his innermost being shall flow rivers of Living Water.’ ” But this HE Spoke of The SPIRIT, WHOM those who believed in HIM were to Receive; for The SPIRIT was not yet Given, because JESUS was not yet Glorified. John 7:37-39. But I say, walk By The SPIRIT, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against The SPIRIT, and The SPIRIT Against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are Led By The SPIRIT, you are not under The Law… Galatians 5:16-18. Indeed, it is from HIS Death And Resurrection through which and in believing, By Grace through faith, GOD has, made you alive together with HIM, having Forgiven us all our transgressions, having Cancelled Out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and HE Has Taken it out of the way, having Nailed it To The Cross. When HE Had Disarmed the rulers and authorities, HE Made a public display of them, having Triumphed Over them through HIM. And it is why Paul, here in his letter to The Church at Colossae, and to us (John 17:17-21), continues to write, Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day – things which were a shadow of what is to come; but The Substance Belongs To CHRIST… Colossians 2:13b-17. Everyone will indeed die for his own iniquity (unrighteousness). But as the Prophecy Spoken Through Jeremiah the Prophet Speaks, “Behold, days are coming,” Declares The LORD, “when I Will Make A New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the Covenant which I Made with their fathers in the day when I Took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, MY Covenant which they broke, although I Was A Husband To them,” Declares The LORD. “But This Is The Covenant Which I Will Make with the house of Israel after those days,” Declares The LORD, “I Will Put MY Law within them and on their heart I Will Write It; and I Will be their GOD, and they shall be MY people. “And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbour and each man his Brother, saying, ‘Know The LORD,’ for they shall all know ME, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” Declares The LORD, “for I Will Forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will Remember no more.”… Jeremiah 31:31-34. Now, it is that not everyone who names The Name Of JESUS CHRIST is truly Of GOD; for not all have faith. Those Of GOD hear The Words Of GOD, and most certainly no one can justify themselves before HIM. Only GOD Is Just And The Justifier Of the one who has faith in JESUS. As the Apostle John writes, and which also reiterates the Prophecy here Spoken Through Jeremiah the Prophet in that it shows its Fulfilment, Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us (being of one heart and one mind for the faith of The Gospel); but they went out in order that it might be shown that they are all not of us. But you have an Anointing From The Holy ONE, and you all know. I have not written to you because you do not know The Truth, but because you do know It, and because no lie is Of The Truth. Who is the liar but the one who denies that JESUS Is The CHRIST? This is the antichrist, the one who denies The FATHER And The SON. Whoever denies The SON does not have The FATHER; the one who confesses The SON has The FATHER Also. As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide In The SON And In The FATHER… 1 John 2:18-24. The one who ‘confesses The SON’ in verse 23 means, to speak the same thing. The Greek word is, ‘homologeo’ (homos, same, lego, to speak), to assent, accord, agree with. The one who denies that JESUS Is The CHRIST is the one who advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with Sound Words, those Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST (and with HIS Holy Apostles) and with the Doctrine conforming to Godliness. Such a one is most certainly conceited & understands nothing. See Jude:3-4 & v16-25, 1 Timothy 6:3-5, 2 Timothy 4:1-5, Romans 16:17-18, and believe The Scriptures; The GOD Breathed Word only. The lips of the wise spread Knowledge, but the hearts of fools are not so. Proverbs 15:7. Back to what John is stating, and of GOD’S Writing on the tablets of our hearts (2 Corinthians 3:3-6), ...And this is The Promise Which HE HIMSELF Made To us: Eternal Life. These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. And as for you, the Anointing Which you Received From HIM abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as HIS Anointing Teaches you about all things, and is True and is not a lie, and just as It has Taught you, you abide In HIM. And now, little children, abide in HIM, so that when HE Appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from HIM in shame at HIS Coming. If you know that HE Is Righteous, you know that everyone also who practices Righteousness Is born Of HIM. 1 John 2:25-29. See also 1 John 4:1-6. Clearly, it is not those who observe the things written in The Law to do them who practice Righteousness before GOD, these are not those who are Blessed with Abraham, the believer; they do not abide In GOD; they strive by the works of The Law in order to please HIM, and in doing so they do not live confessing The SON. See John 4:23-24. But it is those who stand in Grace, through The faith that is in CHRIST JESUS, and being Led By The HOLY SPIRIT, who understand that The Scriptures are not a matter of ones own interpretation, but Of GOD, so that we may not do the things that we please. Man is stupid, devoid of Knowledge. And to use this portion of Scripture, Matthew 5:17-20, as he does, to maintain that the things such as these false teachers teach are to be observed from The Law, shows blindness. Truly, they are blind guides of the blind. Remember, no lie is of The Truth. The Scripture clearly states, Now we know that whatever The Law Says, It speaks to those who are under The Law… Grace Speaks, But if you are Led By The SPIRIT, you are not under The Law. And on to this teaching of circumcision, because it is written in The Law and because Paul circumcised Timothy (Acts 16). We need to read what all Scripture states on any particular matter, and to accept an understanding which holds not a single contradiction by as much as a single verse anywhere within the 66 books of The Bible. Scripture is clear, in the flesh, circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of The Commandments Of GOD. It was for Freedom that CHRIST Set us Free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Behold, I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, CHRIST will be of no benefit to you. And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. You have been severed from CHRIST, you who are seeking to be justified by Law; you have fallen from Grace. For we Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The Hope Of Righteousness. For In CHRIST JESUS neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through agape. You were running well; who hindered you from obeying The Truth? This persuasion did not come from HIM WHO Calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I have confidence in you In The LORD, that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you shall bear his judgement, whoever he is. But I, Brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of The Cross has been abolished. (if Paul were to still preach circumcision) Would that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves. For you were Called to Freedom, Brethren; only do not turn your Freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through agape serve one another. For the whole Law is fulfilled in One Word, in the, “You shall agapao your neighbour as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, take care lest you be consumed by one another... Galatians 5:1-15 You see, ****, when I spoke to you about some of these things which you have begun to follow since when we last saw one another, you took offence at me as though I was your enemy. You argued with what I was trying to say to you, and that was because of this teaching that you are now following. And as I pointed out to you at the time, you were not speaking from The Word in order to both seek and to gain Godly understanding in it all, as I was at least attempting to do, but you spoke as you did because of this teaching you are following and from it. Truly, it is deceiving you and leading you astray. But if you bite and devour one another, take care lest you be consumed by one another. Again, as I said to you, in order to learn we must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger, for the anger of man does not achieve The Righteousness Of GOD, and this requires true humility. There is a Proverb which states, It is a snare for a man to say rashly, “It is Holy!” And after the vows to make inquiry. Proverbs 20:25. And The Wisdom Of GOD also Says, He who guards his mouth and his tongue, guards his soul from trouble. Proverbs 21:23. Our LORD JESUS CHRIST Is The SHEPHERD And GUARDIAN Of our souls, and this means we are to believe in HIM, must trust In HIM and HIM Alone, and in all HIS Words. HE will not deceive us. And consequently listening to the words of HIS Holy Apostles. Men who are Apostles by The Will Of GOD, and not in the will of man. On circumcision Paul writes again to the Brethren at Corinth, and declares to them, Was any man Called circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been Called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of The Commandments Of GOD. Let each man remain in that condition in which he was Called… 1 Corinthians 7:18-20. In Acts 16, we are told why Paul circumcised Timothy. Clearly it was not for the purpose of The faith and out of necessity for it, but because of the Jews in those parts to where they were going, and Paul wanting to take Timothy with him, for the Jews there knew Timothy’s father was a Greek (and so a Gentile) Acts 16:3. They did not do it believing it to be of necessity in keeping The faith, and we can accept this reasoning, because, of what Paul writes to The Church at Galatia. And also see Galatians 2:3-10. In finishing I would like to go back to Matthew 5:17-20, and what I heard for myself, this man who teaches error, claiming it to be that which justifies himself in his own words & in his own teaching, ...“Do not think that I Came to abolish The Law or the Prophets; I did not Come to abolish, but to Fulfil (Complete). “For Truly I Say To you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from The Law, until all is Accomplished… Matthew 5:17-18. ‘Fulfil’ (Complete) in verse 17 is the Greek word, ‘Pleroo’. ‘Accomplished’ in verse 18 is the Greek word, ‘Ginomai’. ‘Pleroo’ signifies ‘to fill’ ‘to fulfil’ ‘complete’, e.g., as also in Matthew 1:21-23 (v22). See Genesis 3:15, Genesis 22:18, Genesis 49:10, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 42:1-6, Galatians 4:1-11. ‘Ginomai’ means ‘to become’, ‘to take place’, also translated as either ‘fulfilled’ or ‘accomplished’. See Matthew 24:34-35 (v34), Luke 21:5-36 (v32). And understand the things that were a shadow of the Things To Come, Of which now The Substance Belongs To CHRIST. Love is the fulfilment of The Law. See Romans 13:8 – 15:13, Matthew 5:48, Romans 1:28 – 2:29. My love In CHRIST, Paul.

John 16:8-11 and the blindness of the blind who profess to see Agape does no wrong to a neighbour, Agape therefore is the fulfilment of The Law. Romans 13:10. As I posted here not many days ago, recently I was introduced to a teaching which I had not heard of before. A teaching which professes and leads professing believers in CHRIST to an adherence to things written in The Law of Moses as works to do them. On a link given to me by the one who introduced me to this teaching I posted a reply in its comments, from Scripture, and with the post a link to the letter which I had written and sent to the one who had introduced me to this teaching. Now when I, using my laptop, go to this video link, I see the post which I made. But when I go to this video link by another device, my post on the comments does not appear there. This is what I posted on the comments, “Living observing from The Law, as opposed to living fulfilling The Law, there is a difference, the former conflicts with The Glorious Gospel Of The Blessed GOD. Observing The Law as works to do them is not of The Law Of faith. ...because by the works of The Law no flesh will be Justified In HIS Sight; for through The Law comes the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:20. ...Therefore The Law has become our Tutor to CHRIST, that we may be Justified by faith. But now that faith has come we are no longer under a Tutor… Galatians 3:24-25. There is now neither Jew nor Gentile, for all are One In CHRIST. So why teach others to live as a Jew in observing from The Law as works to do them? Here, through this link, this teaching, and others like it; which teach a different gospel, which is really not another, is shown for the error it is, which leaves those who will follow them, as opposed to living truly believing in JESUS CHRIST; in accordance with The GOD Breathed Word, as those who are devoted to Destruction. Galatians 1:6-12. The Apostle Paul testified of The Kingdom Of GOD, trying to persuade concerning JESUS, from both The Law of Moses and the Prophets. Genesis 49:10, Isaiah 49:1-13. MESSIAH JESUS Is HE WHO Brings Justification to those who believe in HIM. HE Is The Covenant To the nations, the New Covenant In HIS Blood. For we Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The Hope Of Righteousness. Galatians 5:5.” https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/a-letter-to-one-being-led-astray-by-false-teaching These blind guides of the blind seem to be self censoring the comments so that whatever is posted in reply to their preaching, and which will contradict it, they themselves do not permit it to be seen by those who follow them. This is dangerous for many different reasons, both for themselves and for those taken in by them. This practice goes against Scripture in the conduct and actions of a professing believer in CHRIST JESUS, ...“He who believes In HIM is not Judged (for sin; Hebrews 9:27-28); he who does not believe has been Judged already, because he has not believed in The Name Of The Only Begotten SON Of GOD. “And This Is The Judgement, that The Light Is Come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than The Light; for their deeds were evil. “For everyone who does evil hates The Light, and does not come to The Light, lest his deeds should be exposed. “But he who practices The Truth comes to The Light, that his deeds may be Manifested as having been Wrought In GOD.” John 3:18-21. Those who will do such things as to refuse to align all they practice and preach in HIS Name with Scripture alone, and refuse to even examine when another attempts to show to them an error, from Scripture alone, and then to make sure none of their followers hear of it, are not those who truly have a heart after GODS Own Heart. They deceive both themselves and the hearts of the unsuspecting. And apart from repentance they will bear their own load. See Luke 17:1-4. They live also in contradiction to the Scripture, ...and be subject to one another in the fear Of CHRIST (GOD). Ephesians 5:21. See also Philippians 2:3-5, 2 Corinthians 7:1, 1 Peter 2:14-19, Proverbs 24:21-22. They certainly do not live believing In JESUS CHRIST; they do not live truly professing HIS Name, where to believe In HIM actually means to be persuaded of, and hence, to place confidence in, to trust; reliance upon, not mere credence. Credence; something giving a claim to belief or confidence; belief as to the truth of something. It is why the Apostles Of our LORD JESUS CHRIST admonish true believers to test the spirits (the sentient element in men) to see whether they are From GOD (1 John 4:1-6), so as not to quench, that is, extinguish The HOLY SPIRIT; so as not to treat as contemptible and set as nought that which is Of GOD, but to examine everything in order to hold fast to that which is Good in refraining from all that is evil (1 Thessalonians 5:19-24, Ephesians 4:30, Ephesians 6:16, 2 Peter 2:1-3). Those who will do these things, contrary to the conduct of a follower Of CHRIST; a Christian as contained in The Holy Scriptures, whoever they are and whatever they are preaching, this Scripture is true of them also; “You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting The HOLY SPIRIT; you are doing just as your fathers did. “Which one of the Prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who had previously announced The Coming Of The Righteous ONE, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become; you who received The Law as ordained by angels, and yet did not keep It. Acts 7:51-53. There are many today, who pledge before the many their allegiance to GOD, professing HIS Word, professing as though they have Received, but both in word and deed they are as though they have not Received. We must never forget. We must ever forget. We have absolutely no adequacy in ourselves in matters pertaining to GOD. All we have that we can give to HIM is our heart. We are absolutely dependant upon HIM for all things, for all understanding. The Apostle Paul, a great man Of GOD (and this I say in praise of and to GOD’S Glory, not the Apostle Paul’s) wrote to The Church at Corinth, ...But thanks be to GOD, WHO Always Leads us In HIS Triumph In CHRIST, And Manifests Through us the Sweet Aroma Of The Knowledge Of HIM in every place. For we are a Fragrance Of CHRIST to GOD among those who are being Saved and among those who are perishing; to the one an Aroma from death to Death, to the other an Aroma from life to Life. And who is adequate for These Things? For we are not like many, peddling (corrupting) The Word Of GOD, but as from sincerity, but as From GOD, we speak In CHRIST In The Sight Of GOD. Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you? You are our letter, Written in our hearts, known and read by all men; being Manifested that you are A Letter Of CHRIST, cared for by us, Written not with ink, but With The SPIRIT Of The Living GOD, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts. And such confidence we have Through CHRIST toward GOD. Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as from ourselves, but our adequacy is From GOD, WHO Also Made us adequate servants Of a New Covenant, not of The Letter (of The Law), but Of The SPIRIT; for The Letter kills, but The SPIRIT Gives Life… 2 Corinthians 2:14 – 3:6. It is not in titles. It is not in the amount of followers any teacher may have. It is not in doctorates. But it is what is being Written on our hearts, whether it is Manifested (through GOD) as being as a Letter Of CHRIST. We are to be alert as to these things, and not just accept any and what they say through the witness of themselves or of others, because The Witness Of GOD Is Greater. “A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher. Luke 6:40. And we, as believers in GOD Through JESUS CHRIST, have only ONE TEACHER (Matthew 23:8). Written as we have portioned as John 16:8-11, our LORD JESUS CHRIST Says, ...“And HE, when HE Comes (The HOLY SPIRIT), will Convict the world concerning sin, and Righteousness, and Judgement; concerning sin because they do not believe in ME; and concerning Righteousness, because I Go To The FATHER, and you no longer behold ME; and concerning Judgement, because the ruler of this world (satan, who is the devil) has been Judged… Whatever is not of (The) faith is sin. It is only those who will live believing in JESUS CHRIST, as means according to Scripture to live believing In The LAMB Of GOD WHO Takes Away the sins of the world, who are those who shall not be Judged for sin. Saved By The Blood Of The LAMB; Saved By Grace through faith. The HOLY SPIRIT Is HE WHO Convicts the world concerning sin. Those who are of the world, even though they may profess The Name, will not know the Conviction leading to the repentance that Leads to Salvation, whilst being apart from GOD in refusing HIS Word: Which Is Given though men Moved By The HOLY SPIRIT Spoke From GOD (2 Peter 1:16 – 2:3), and it is only true believers who can & shall know The Truth, and The Truth Shall Make them Free. See 1 John 2:18-29 (v27). ...JESUS therefore was Saying to those Jews who had believed in HIM, “If you abide in MY Word, you are truly Disciples Of MINE; and you shall know The Truth, and The Truth shall Make you Free.” They answered HIM, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that YOU Say, ‘You shall become Free’?” JESUS Answered them, “Truly, truly, I Say To you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. “And the slave does not remain in The House forever; the son does remain forever. “If therefore The SON Shall Make you Free, you Shall be Free indeed. “I Know that you are Abraham’s offspring; yet you seek to kill ME, because MY Word has no place in you. “I Speak The Things Which I Have Seen With MY FATHER; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.” They answered and said to HIM, “Abraham is our father.” JESUS Said To them, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham (Galatians 3:6-9). “But as it is, you are seeking to kill ME, A Man WHO Has Told you the Truth, Which I Heard From GOD; this Abraham did not do. “You are doing the deeds of your father.” They said to HIM, “We are not born of fornication; we have One Father, GOD.” JESUS Said To them, “If GOD were you FATHER, you would love ME (John 14:21-24, 1 John 2:3-6); for I Proceed Forth And Have Come From GOD, for I have not even Come on MY Own Initiative, but HE Sent ME. “Why do you not understand what I Am Saying? Because you cannot hear MY Word. “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in The Truth, because there is no Truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies. “But because I Speak The Truth, you do not believe ME. “Which one of you convicts ME of sin? If I Speak Truth, why do you not believe ME? “He who Is Of GOD hears The Words Of GOD; for this reason you do not hear, because you are not Of GOD.”… John 8:31-47. ...For we Through The SPIRIT, by faith, are waiting for The Hope Of Righteousness. Galatians 5:5. So then, Brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh – for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if By The SPIRIT you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are being Led By The SPIRIT Of GOD, these are sons Of GOD. For you have not Received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have Received A SPIRIT Of Adoption as sons By Which we cry out, “ABBA! FATHER!” The SPIRIT HIMSELF Bears Witness With our spirit (our sentient element) that we are children Of GOD, and if children, Heirs also, Heirs Of GOD and fellow Heirs With CHRIST, if indeed we suffer with in order that we may also be Glorified with. Romans 8:12-17.
