23 And then will I profess I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Iniquity is a violation of the right or duty that mankind is under obligation to do . An iniquity can also be a wicked act and immoral conduct or practice. These are harmful or offensive to society and, especially to God.
Man won't live on bread and water alone but by every idle word that proceeds forth from the mouth of God. Your tongue a little member of your body is used by many to bless people and to curse people and these things ought not to be so according to one of the Apostles.
Addressing important issues
There's a series of things I want to address. There is a series of things put on my heart that I must address. First of all the fool has said in their heart there is no God. There is a God and the God that created all life forms is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and yes he is the God of Israel the nation that's under attack consistently. Now the Old Testament goes way beyond the first century and Isaiah 53 is talking about the rejected suffering Messiah. It happened exactly as Isaiah the great prophet wrote/prophesied. God gave us his only begotten son and he so loved the world and he died for the sins of the world. John 3:16 He laid down his life on his own accord and he picked it back up again because he has authority. On Earth it is true Christ was fully God and fully man but he humbled himself to being the son of man. He was/is a great prophet and a great teacher and he told Pontius Pilate his kingdom is not of this world. Christ is a member of the godhead. What did he say? He said before Abraham I am and I believe the Jews wanted to stone him for blasphemy. He also said to the devil who tempted him including Apostle Peter at one point thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men . And of course he is the way the truth and the life and no one comes on to the father but by him. There is no other door and no other name whereby men can obtain/find salvation. Acts 4:12 Romans 10:9 Ephesians 2:8 He paid the price in full for the debt and he said those three words before he gave up his ghost " it is finished ". So if an unbeliever perhaps even somebody that is deceived following another Jesus and another gospel does not believe in him they won't be in heaven but most likely if they die in their sins they will be cast in outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Galatians 1:8-9 KJV Spiritual bodies. It is appointed unto man to die once and then the judgment.
Unless you truly serve the true living God without deception you will not be able to rightly divide the word of God/truth. 2 Timothy 2:15-26 KJV. You can raise all those books like the image above from Sarah's Ministry in the United Kingdom I believe at Speakers Corner the fella is a Muslim showing her all the different Bible versions using that perhaps as a means to draw people away from Biblical Christianity or C.F Christianity onto Islam. See video here to above image . Again unless you truly have the true God guiding you being your master which is Jesus Christ of Nazareth the Jewish Messiah (Emmanuel) you will not be able to understand and it will be a confusion to you but in your ignorance you will try to plead your case but you are truly in darkness. Mind you there are those that do understand because God saved them and brought them into relationship/fellowship and is guiding them.
As you know or should know there's a war in Israel and there's a war in the Ukraine and Russia is at War. Some say that World War 3 has already begun and is there is such a threat of nuclear weapons going to be used and it's quite possible with all the tensions that are extremely high that the world might be propelled into World War III Armageddon. Now of course president elected Donald Trump is not in office yet but by the time he is let's hope evil on massive proportions does not prevail. So as true Christians I asked my brothers and sisters in Christ to pray about this and pray for the leaders in the world. So here is some information.
As you see from the image 1st above the guy with the cap backwards told the street preacher Nicholas Bowling that he knows the Bible better than he does. At one point he walked away just before the street preacher was going to give him a response but eventually he came back. His daughter had a verbal swearing mouth with implications and he her dad said the Bible made him an atheist. He went into slavery and he got some details wrong. There are people who do read the Bible I had a best friend who's now deceased and he used to read the Bible regularly even quote from it but he wasn't a true Christian. He was at times thoughtful and he was there in troubled times for me and I for him but when I became a true believer I had to leave that crowd. I believe I did pray for him it's not that it's just you can't continue in that deceitful corrupt way. That's another story. You know Jesus said there are those whose hearts are far from him. When you can't rightly divide the word of truth and you don't have the true God guiding you..you may use that as an excuse to live in your sins and say you're an atheist even one who knows the Bible meanwhile look at the fruits of such his daughter is swearing and she has a mouthful directed at the street preacher. Mannerisms are out the window. How come so many others have come to understand over the centuries because they were truly saved perhaps and God was guiding them. He doesn't know he's going to give an account for his life when he leaves this present life. And on that day by his response/justification he will be either exonerated or condemned. The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom.
The three images below in their Ministry and video they are addressing this issue of slavery. The rest of video where preacher John MacArthur is talking to Ben Shapiro explains slavery in terms of the Bible point of view is very well explained. God gave man dominion and you have a choice between righteousness or unrighteousness between Heaven or Hell remember that. You have to seek Christ's righteousness we are not saved by doing good works they are as filthy rags. That becomes life and death on Judgment Day as many are rejected found to be workers of iniquity. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: including john 3:16 [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son , that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life . [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
The above preaching at a gay pride festival now this is part 3 and I find this interesting this LGBTQ person they are preaching to tries to say they maybe like Christ/questions GOD but they also believe in the amalgamation of sin as Christ accepts this and no matter what they say this person is stuck in deception deceiving their own hearts. I thought the way it unfolded was interesting. I think the street preachers did a fantastic job of trying to get through to this person but this person is totally lost in their own perversion not having understanding. The person said if homosexuality is a sin then why did God let the greatest things happen in the world. James 4.4 1 Corinthians 1:27 KJV Well truly we have choices and we can choose between life or death and God set life and death before you human beings and instructed them to choose life but people choose death when they choose sin. You can see that video coverage here . You can gain the world material possessions and lose your soul. What will a man give in exchange for his soul?
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 KJV
