Proverbs 19:16-17 “HE THAT KEEPETH THE COMMANDMENT keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth HIS ways shall die. 17 HE THAT HATH PITY ON THE POOR LENDETH UNTO THE LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”
SALT AND LIGHT
Matthew 5:13-16 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its savor, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and to be trodden underfoot by men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under the grain-measure, but on a lampstand. And it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.”
2Timothy 3:1-7 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, LOVERS OF PLEASURE MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD; 5 HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF: FROM SUCH TURN AWAY. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women LADEN WITH SINS, led away with divers lusts, 7 EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.”
YOU MUST WALK AS JESUS WALKED
1st John 2:6 “He that saith he abideth in him ought HIMSELF ALSO SO TO WALK, even as HE (JESUS) walked.”
GOD KILLED Ananias and Sapphira for DISOBEDIENCE with their FINANCES (THEY LIED)
Acts 5:1-11 “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.”
Paul is NOT Condoning sin, neither is he the ‘chief of sinners’ so many wrest to their destruction not dividing the word of truth correctly!
1 Timothy 1:15 “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am CHIEF(G4413).”
CHIEF in the Greek = G4413 πρῶτος prōtos pro’-tos [PROTOTYPE] Contracted superlative of G4253; FOREMOST(in time, place, order or importance): – BEFORE, beginning, best, chief (-est), first (of all), FORMER. [Total KJV occurrences: 100]
He is speaking here also of ‘FORMER’ times. Better stated: “Who was in former times, the Chief among sinners!’ Examine the Greek Tense for yourself. The English has it reversed. Sin was NEVER the foregone conclusion in Paul’s life! This same passage in the very next verse, states that his LIFE and Steadfastness were a PATTERN to all believers! HOW could he hold himself up as an Example to the Church if he was daily violating his conscience in thought, word and deed? (As all the false preachers claim).
“99%+” WHO PROFESS CHRIST LOOK JUST LIKE THEIR WICKED SINFUL “PASTOR”
2nd Peter 2:17-22 “These (FALSE PASTORS) are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, THEY (FALSE TEACHERS) ALLURE (LUKEWARM “CHRISTIANS” THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH, through much WANTONNESS, THOSE THAT WERE CLEAN (LIVING HOLY) ESCAPED FROM THEM WHO LIVE IN ERROR (SIN). 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world (AFTER THEY WERE TRULY BORN-AGAIN AND WALKING PERFECT WITH JESUS) through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein (GO BACK TO WILLFUL SIN), and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning (A MORE TORTUOUS PLACE IN HELL). 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, THE DOG (SINNER) IS TURNED TO HIS OWN VOMIT (SIN) AGAIN; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”
YOU MUST BE CLEAN AND PROVE YOURSELVES IN GODLY SORROW AND TRUE REPENTANCE
2nd Corinthians 7:10-11 “For GODLY SORROW worketh REPENTANCE to SALVATION not to be repented of: but THE SORROW OF THE WORLD WORKETH DEATH. 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, WHAT CAREFULNESS it wrought in you, yea, what CLEARING OF YOURSELVES, yea, WHAT INDIGNATION, yea, WHAT FEAR, yea, WHAT VEHEMENT DESIRE, yea, WHAT ZEAL, yea, WHAT REVENGE! In all things ye have APPROVED YOURSELVES to be clear in this matter.”
JESUS SPEAKING
Luke 22:42 “Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless NOT MY WILL, BUT THINE, BE DONE.”
James 5:1-6 “Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.”
Philippians 1:21 “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
1st Thessalonians 5:22 “Abstain from ALL appearance of evil.”
2nd Peter 3:14-18 “Wherefore, beloved, seeing that YE LOOK FOR SUCH THINGS, BE DILIGENT that ye may be found of him in peace, WITHOUT SPOT (WITHOUT SIN), and BLAMELESS. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which THEY THAT ARE UNLEARNED AND UNSTABLE WREST, as they do also the other SCRIPTURES, UNTO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, BEWARE lest YE ALSO, BEING LED AWAY (FROM SALVATION) with the error of the wicked, FALL FROM YOUR OWN stedfastness. 18 But GROW IN GRACE, AND IN THE KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
James 5:1-6 “Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.”
Proverbs 14:31 “He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.”
THE LUKEWARM FALSE CHURCH “PEW WARMER” GETS SPEWED OUT
Revelation 3:15-16 “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art LUKEWARM, and neither cold nor hot, I will SPUE THEE OUT OF MY MOUTH.”
1st Corinthians 10:31 “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT YOUR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may PROVE WHAT IS GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God.”
THE BIBLE FORBIDS THE WEARING OF GOLD, PEARLS OR COSTLY ARRAY. NOTICE THE ATTIRE OF THE BABYLONIAN HARLOT:
Revelation 17:4 “And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and DECKED WITH GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONED AND PEARLS, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication”
LOOK AT THE “RICH MANS” APPAREL
Luke 16:19 “There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in PURPLE and FINE LINEN(ATTRACTIVE & FANCY CLOTHES), and fared sumptuously (Feasted & lived in a splendid… HAD LACK OF NOTHING) every day“
This treasury received the voluntary contributions of the worshippers who came up to the feast; which were given to buy wood for the altar, and other necessaries not provided for in any other way. The money thus contributed was devoted to the service of the temple – to incense, sacrifices, etc.
YOU MUST OBEY JESUS ‘TIL THE END TO ENTER HEAVEN
John 14:15 “IF ye love me, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.”
John 15:10 “IF YE KEEP MY COMANDMENTS, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.”
John 15:14 “Ye are my friends, IF YE DO WHATSOEVER I COMMAND YOU”
James 4:17 “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
YOU MUST OBEY AND WALK LIKE JESUS WALKED!
1st John 2:3-6 “And hereby we do know that WE KNOW HIM, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. 4 He that saith, I know him, and KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: HEREBY KNOW WE ARE IN HIM. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought HIMSELF ALSO SO TO WALK, even as HE (JESUS) walked.
1st John 3:3-10 “And every man that hath this hope in him PURIFIETH HIMSELF, even as HE (JESUS) is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him SINNETH NOT: WHOSOEVER SINNETH hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.9 WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: WHOSOEVER DOETH NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, neither he that loveth not his brother.”
1st John 5:18-21 “We know that whosoever is born of God SINNETH NOT; but he that is begotten of God KEEPETH HIMSELF, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”
SOUND LIKE YOU “CHRISTIAN”?
Luke 12:51-53 “Suppose ye that I (JESUS) am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather DIVISION: 52 For from henceforth there shall be FIVE IN ONE HOUSE DIVIDED, three against two, and two against three. 53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.”
Matthew 10:34-36″ Think not that I (JESUS) am come to send peace on earth: I CAME NOT TO SEND PEACE, BUT A SWORD. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man’s foes (ENEMIES) shall be they OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.”
