Excuses & Deceptions of Professing “Christians”
#1 “SOME SAY “YOU CAN NEVER GET REMARRIED IF YOUR SPOUSE IS LIVING”… OTHERS SAY “YOU CAN ONLY DIVORCE FOR FORNICATION”!
We are going to define “fornication” as the bible does, not man!
Fornication (drunken flirtation/purposeful improper touching of others/purposeful immodesty, etc/all sexual sin, adultery; idolatry=spiritual fornication)
Rank adultery and apostasy were also reasons for divorce according to the law of Moses. We must obey the law of our lands. In the United States, there is truly no more penalty for fornication so says the government as in days past… Of course in a righteous country, stoning would be the just judgement for these sins- but we (Americans for example) can’t do it as to obey our local laws as the Jews in Jesus’ time also couldn’t.
1st Corinthians 7:39 “The wife is bound by the law (OF MOSES-WITH NARROW PROVISIONS FOR DIVORCE) as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord” (She is bound by the law since she can’t initiate a divorce contrary to the narrow provisions of the law).
The leaders of Israel were not obeying the NARROW PROVISIONS and started to allow divorces for any reason(like burning their toast or divorcing older for younger)!!!
Matthew 19:1-12 is NOT a new teaching.
Matthew 19:9 “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication G4202 (MEANS Basically the equivalent of UNCLEANNESS WHICH WE FIND IN DEUTERONOMY 24-lewdness, drunkenness/all sexual sin; adultery, pornography addiction; idolatry = spiritual fornication) and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.”
G4202 πορνεία porneia {por-ni’-ah}
From G4203; harlotry (including adultery and incest); figuratively idolatry: – fornication.
Deuteronomy 24:1 “When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness(H6172) in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.”
UNCLEANNESS = H6172 עֶרְוָה ‛ervâh {er-vaw’} From H6168; nudity, literally (especially the pudenda) or figuratively (disgrace, blemish): – nakedness, shame, unclean (-ness).
Jesus in calling the people back to the beginning (Genesis 2) was not violating the provision in Deut 24. Sin is still in the world so the narrow Deut 24 provision stands.

#2 “I DON’T NEED A MARRIAGE LICENSE”!
Abstaining from the very APPEARANCE of EVIL:
1st Thessalonians 5:22 “Abstain from ALL appearance of evil.” https://eternalevangelism.com/biblically-abstaining-from-the-appearance-of-evil/
A Christian must OBEY JESUS is every area….including Romans 13 where we must obey the respective government (LOCAL RULERS) we sit under (of course not unto sin).
Romans 13:1-4 “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.”
#3 VIDEO GAMES – & WORLDLY ENTERTAINMENT
Colossians 3:1-8 “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are ABOVE, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things ABOVE, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 MORTIFY therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is IDOLATRY: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, WHEN (PAST) ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also PUT OFF ALL THESE; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.”
Are you “walking in wisdom” as commanded when you play video games? Colossians 4:5-6 “WALK IN WISDOM toward them that are without (CHRIST), redeeming the time. 6 Let your SPEECH be ALWAY with GRACE, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to ANSWER MAN.”
Are you redeeming the time while playing video games? NO! Ephesians 5:15-16 “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, because the days are evil.”
Do video games build you up (in Christ)? NO! 1st Corinthians 10:23-24 “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.”
Are playing video games “keeping your body under subjection”? NO!
1st Corinthians 9:25-27 “And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a CASTAWAY.”
Are playing video games just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, etc? NO! Philippians 4:8-9 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”
Do you think for one minute that JESUS would every play these foolish video games? NO! 160,000 souls go to judgment daily… 30,000 people die from horrible deaths from poverty PER DAY! WWJD?
1st John 2:6 “He that saith he abideth in HIM (JESUS) ought HIMSELF also so to walk, even as he(JESUS) walked.”
You must DENY UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY LUSTS!
Titus 2:11-15 “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation HATH APPEARED TO ALL HEM, 12 Teaching us that, DENYING UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY LUSTS, we should LIVE SOBERLY, RIGHTEOUSLY, and GODLY, IN THIS PRESENT WORLD; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.”
A call to repentance (come back to your 1st Love if you ever had it in the 1st place):
Revelation 2:4-7 “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”
And to conclude, a few more sins we expose, gambling & organized sports. Both abominable to a Holy God.
Gambling is sin https://eternalevangelism.com/gambling-is-sin/
Organized sports is an abomination to God https://eternalevangelism.com/sports/
#4 VANITY- IN APPLICATION – FAKE ANYTHING
Makeup, coloring your hair, getting your teeth super white, tattoos, etc, etc… It’s a sin to change your body in any way (unrighteousely)! https://eternalevangelism.com/wearing-makeup-sin-vanity/
Leviticus 19:28 “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.”
1st Corinthians 6:18-20 “Flee FORNICATION (escape from every kind of uncleanness). Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
IS THIS YOUR ATTITUTE??
Philippians 3:7-8 “But WHAT THINGS WERE GAIN TO ME, those I COUNTED LOSS FOR CHRIST. 8 Yea doubtless, and I COUNT ALL THINGS BUT LOSS for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I HAVE SUFFERED THE LOSS OF ALL THINGS, and do COUNT THEM AS DUNG, THAT I MAY WIN CHRIST”
Modesty for women https://eternalevangelism.com/womens-role-in-christianity-biblical-modesty/
Modesty for men https://eternalevangelism.com/biblical-modesty-for-men/
#5 “IT’S NOT SALVIFIC”! RUBBISH!
Galatians 1:8-9 “But though we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED.”
Titus 3:10-11 “A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.”
2nd Peter 3:16 “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 (TWIST – TAKE OUT OF CONTEXT), as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.”
2nd Corinthians 6:14-15 “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers (THIS INCLUDES FALSE CHRISTIANS): for what fellowship hath righteousness(SAINTS) with unrighteousness (SINNERS)? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?”
King David knew:
Psalm 26:9-10 “Gather not my soul with SINNERS, nor my life with bloody men: 10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.”
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.”
Calvinists, baptists (OSAS), catholics, pentecostals/charismatics, etc are all SINNERS! It’s surely SALVIFIC!

#6 SILENCE – SINS OF O’MISSION
ARE YOU SOUNDING THE ALARM?
Ezekiel 33:8-9 “When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; IF THOU DOST NOT SPEAK TO WARN THE WICKED FROM HIS WAY, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but HIS BLOOD I WILL REQUIRE FROM THINE HAND. 9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.”
Hebrews 12:14-17 “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.”
PAUL STAYED IN ONE PLACE 3 YEARS AND WARNED WITH TEARS! AS HE WAS DEPARTING, HE LEFT THIS WARNING…
Acts 20:29-32 “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also OF YOUR OWN SELVES (SPEAKING TO THE CHURCH) shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to DRAW AWAY DISCIPLES after them. 31 Therefore WATCH, and REMEMBER, that by the space of THREE YEARS I CEASED NOT TO WARN every one NIGHT AND DAY WITH TEARS. 32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which ARE SANCTIFIED.”

#7 PROGRESSIVE KNOWLEDGE – STUDYING THE WORLD
If you are not gaining in Biblical knowledge daily…if you are not YEARNING to gain in Biblical knowledge and if you are not wanting more and more of Jesus daily, you are doomed! The Bible surely teaches “progressive knowledge”… However, it also rebukes the lie of “progressive sanctification” so many spew to their destruction.
https://eternalevangelism.com/sanctification-are-sanctified-or-progressive-sanctification/
Sinners are of the devil:
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.”
#8 GIVING – TWO MITES – YOU MUST HAVE “PURE AND UNDEFILED RELIGION”
So many professing Christians have no idea what Biblical Charity is. There are hundreds of verses commanding a Christian to take care of the downtordden… I will just read one set of verses here:
The Fellowship of the Believers
Acts 2:42-47 “And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And ALL THAT BELIEVED WERE TOGETHER, and HAD ALL THINGS IN COMMON; 45 And SOLD THEIR POSSESSIONS AND GOODS (NON-NECESSITIES), and PARTED THEM TO ALL MEN, AS EVERY MAN HAD NEED. 46 And they, CONTINUING DAILY IN ONE ACCORD in the temple, and BREAKING BREAD FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”

#9 YOU MUST BE HATED. A TRUE CHRISTIAN IS HATED:
John 15:19 “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore THE WORLD HATETH YOU.”
If You Are Not “Hated by All” for HIS Namesake, You Are Not Saved! https://eternalevangelism.com/not-hated-namesake-not-saved/
FAMILY AND OLD FRIENDS WILL TRULY HATE YOU
Luke 12:51-53 “Suppose ye that I 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 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.”
#10 MOST ARE RESPECTER OF PERSONS
Do not yoke with hereticks https://eternalevangelism.com/do-not-yoke-with-heretics-unequally-yoking-addressed/
rebuke of ungodly yokes https://eternalevangelism.com/rebuke-of-ungodly-yokes-avoiding-ungodly-relationships-purity-in-singleness-preparing-for-marriage/
MOST PROFESSING CHRISTIANS ARE RESPECTER OF PERSONS AND THAT IS SIN! YOU WILL NOT PREACH TO MUSLIMS OR JEWS, FOR EXAMPLE, AND BOTH ARE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL! OR, YOU RAIL AGAINST THEM…
Act 10:34-35 “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS(DOES NOT SIN), IS ACCEPTED WITH HIM.”
James 3:17 “But the WISDOM that is from ABOVE is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, WITHOUT PARTIALITY, and WITHOUT HYPOCRISY.”
#11 MOST PROFESSING “CHRISTIANS” LIVE IN THE FLESH AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SELF DENIAL IS
You simple can’t live in the flesh. The carnal mind is enmity with God.
Romans 8:5-10 “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”
JESUS CLEANSES FROM “SINS THAT ARE PAST”
Romans 3:25 “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his(JESUS’) blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of SINS THAT ARE PAST, through the forbearance of God”
YOU ARE PURGED FROM OLD SINS (NEVER CURRENT OR FUTURE)!
2nd Peter 1:9 “But he that LACKETH these things is BLIND, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was PURGED FROM HIS OLD SINS.”
YOU MUST PROVE YOUR REPENTANCE
Luke 3:8 “Bring forth therefore FRUITS WORTHY OF REPENTANCE, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.”
Rebuking those who believe Romans 7 is speaking to how a Christian is to live now. https://eternalevangelism.com/sold-under-sin-the-lie-of-romans-7-chief-of-sinners/
The “sinners prayer” is a LIE https://eternalevangelism.com/is-the-sinners-prayer-in-the-bible/
Paul was NOT the “chief of sinners” as portrayed by the terribly deceived… https://eternalevangelism.com/paul-not-chief-sinners/
People could not be more deceived! Paul NEVER preached “saved in sin” nor did anyone else in the bible.
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.”
CHIEF = 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]
#12 “LIBERTY”
“Liberty” is a word hereticks like to use to excuse their sin and unrighteous yoking whether it’s with other fake “sinning Christians” or with the unsaved..
Using Romans 14 incorrectly in the name of “liberty” can lead to many accepting a sinful doctrine through the deceit of many who allude to this passage. The compromise and perversion of Scripture has led many down the wide path of destruction where they start adopting every sinful matter into the text. When you expose these devils, they will call you “the weaker brother”, etc. It would be comical if it weren’t so serious. They don’t take biblical reproval and are the ones who are unfaithful to Christ, cowardly, hypocritical and weak! Remove yourselves far from these devils and also from those who yoke with them.
2 Co 7:1-2 “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.”
Matters of indifference, doctrine and sin can be thrown into the mix and we get a cesspool of abominable practices. The bible rebukes these hereticks.
Romans 14:5-6 “One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.”
It’s a fatal exegesis to accept any sinful doctrine and/or practices and do it all in the “name of God”. These hereticks will decide what can and cannot be put on their formulated list of “authorized” liberties when it comes to fellowshipping “sins.” This is no different to the man-made creeds of the thousands of denominations. Try to penetrate their group and you are mocked, called “rookie”, “weaker brother” or told to stay out of their way if you are not “doing it like them”. They are the least likely to be reproved because of this mob mentality. It’s a demonic spirit and repentance is rare. I do believe however ALL things are possible with God. Surely most are reprobate and will never come to Christ.
Another word they use to excuse their sin(s) is “CONSCIENCE”. The question must be asked, can a disciple of Christ follow his own conscience being fully assured in his own mind concerning sinful doctrines and its practices? Of course not, the answer is a resounding NO, otherwise, truth would be subjective from one person to the next. Shameful!
Unfortunately, the traditions of man and “mentors” arbitrate what they deem to be right and wrong according to their own seared consciences. A LITTLE LEAVEN LEAVENETH THE WHOLE LUMP!
1 Corinthians 5:6-7 “Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:”
Proverbs 14:34 “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”
The modern church “Main St” system and idolatrous, disrespectful, revilers have accepted what is shameful and blatantly justifies their actions in their “liberty” and “love” for their neighbors. This is false love of the world which I used to have. There they use the “weak in faith” diversion trying to disregard and discount the godly who are rebuking them.
Romans 14:1-3 “Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.”
The word “Christmas” is a combination of the words “Christ” and “Mass. The word “Mass” means death and was coined originally by the wicked Roman Catholic Church, and belongs exclusively to the church of Rome. The demonic ritual of the Mass involves the death of Christ, and the distribution of the “Host”, a word taken from the Latin word “hostiall” meaning victim! In short, Christmas is strictly a Roman Catholic word. By definition, it means “death of Christ”.
These verses are used as an excuse to receive sin into the fellowship/preaching circle when God does not receive them into His. The blind indoctrinated pew warmers and/or “street preachers” tell us that we are not to “dispute,” or “judge” because they are disputable matters. Rubbish!
The error is that they are NOT authorized disputable matters attested in Scripture because disputable matters are not in the realm of the sin of breaking God’s laws.
The context of “Romans 14” are on matters that are neither required, nor prohibited (wrong or sinful). In verses 14, 16 and 20, they are matters that are deemed by Paul as “good,” “pure,” or “clean” in receiving one another in our fellowship based on Scripturally authorized liberties, NOT on sinful matters and behaviors that imitate evil which these “holy walkers” who are really sinners try to justify. To shift from one category to another and call it a “liberty” is grave, damnable error.
The last heresy we will address in this teaching is “God loves me no matter what.” What a wicked lie!
#13 GOD’S LOVE IS INCREDIBLY CONDITIONAL
2nd Timothy 4:1-8 “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord
Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts (SINS) shall they heap to themselve teachers (FALSE “MAIN ST PASTORS”), HAVING ITCHING EARS; 4 And they shall TURN AWAY THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, and shall be TURNED INTO FABLES. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them alsothat love his appearing. “
Proverbs 7:2 “KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, AND LIVE; and my law as the apple of thine eye.”
Daniel 9:4 “And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS”
John 14:15 “IF ye love me, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.”
John 15:14 “Ye are my friends, IF ye do whatsoever I command you.”
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.”
Psalm 111:9-10 “He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: HOLY AND REVEREND IS HIS NAME. 10 The FEAR of the LORD is the BEGINNING OF WISDOM: a good understanding have all they that DO HIS COMMANDMENTS: his praise endureth for ever.”
1st Peter 1:15-16 “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
Hebrews 5:9 “And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation UNTO ALL THEM THAT OBEY HIM.”
Matthew 5:48 “Be ye therefore PERFECT, even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT.”
GOD HATES THE SIN
Romans 1:18 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all (SIN) ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness”
GOD’S WRATH ABIDES ON THE SINNER
John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not (MEANING DOES NOT OBEY – A SINNER) the Son shall not see life; but the WRATH (ANGER/CONDEMNATION) of God abideth on him.”
2nd Peter 2:4-6 “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly.”
YOU ARE WHAT YOU DO AND WILL BE JUDGED ACCORDINGLY
Revelation 22:11 “He that is UNJUST, LET HIM BE UNJUST STILL: and he which is FILTHY, LET HIM BE FILTHY STILL: and he that is RIGHTEOUS, LET HIM BE RIGHTEOUS STILL: and he that is HOLY, LET HIM BE HOLY STILL.
Luke 17:26-30 “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Jude 1:3 “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”
I just Biblically loved you in this video as Jesus commands. Will you heed His call?
Leviticus 19:17 “Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise REBUKE THY NEIGHBOUR, and NOT SUFFER SIN UPON HIM.”
Proverbs 27:5-6 “Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”
Jude 1:21 “Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”
I will let God tell you what “the conclusion of the whole matter” is:
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: FEAR GOD, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: for THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with EVERY SECRET THING, whether it be good (RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO ETERNAL LIFE), or whether it be evil (SIN UNTO DEATH).
