We would want to preach the love of Christ and others are doing this but which Christ which Jesus and which gospel? God is relationship not religion. Deceived people are entangled in spiritual fornication unbeknownst to themselves. The danger is eternal damnation from deception . A woman was wearing a cross but it didn't seem to help her addiction. For the wages of sin is death !
“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”
From what is going on in the world I've seen the reports of the damage done in certain nations due to projectiles, missiles and attacks on hotels residential areas even huge high-rises with people in them. Neighborhoods, places that are filled with people have been attacked even airports and hotels and there's an advisory now of a certain list of countries that have been amalgamated into the conflict which can grow into a bigger problem devastating dangerous conflict. This is already cost many lives as they reported. From what a couple of nations have been accused of escalation so now there's a lot of tension and there's worry about escalating attacks on Jewish people which have been reported in Canada recently. We're not supposed to get into the affairs of the world as true Christians henceforth. I have seen a newspaper editor who is a little known in Canada talking about international law don't use that excuse he said in an interview because what is occurred as he was suggesting is allowable for the evils done by a certain nation that has been implicated for serious crimes against humanity. Unfortunately war is horrible and people lose their lives. Families suffer. If we look at the future of prophecy are we to get all paranoid and uptight. You know we know from scripture there's going to be a war that is so brutal that even the sea is full of blood we know from this war that the eye sockets will melt inside of the skull. That's how brutal this war that is coming is going to be. We've already seen some of it with Hiroshima. The fallout, the cancers and the devastation even the devastation to the environment talk about global warming is evil. It's incredible that nuclear war hasn't destroyed the ozone layer and the atmosphere where the Earth would no longer have an atmosphere and all life would cease to exist. This is the danger that man faces. What are the limits not just that what happens when you die you don't cease to exist. The Bible says the soul that sins will surely die . It also tells us you must be born again and be a new creature in Christ where all things are made new. John 3:3 Many people have religiosity but no relation with the real Christ. They have relation with the devil unbeknownst to themselves than any God. In fact their ideal of God is corrupt and ignorant. The wool has been pulled over their eyes and many of these people reject correction they think that they are righteous when they are not righteous at all. Who can stand in front of a holy God when they die and claim they are righteous? What will a man give in exchange for his soul? People don't know God and are deceived because they don't seek properly. God tells us his ways are higher than ours and so are his thoughts. Christ said the things men highly esteem are abomination unto God. If the true Christ is the way not just the truth and the life how come we have a deceived world full of religiosity living worshiping abominable doctrines of devils yet they don't live the life in Christ. They live a life in sin, flesh and the devil. Even amongst those who become or claim to be true believers with relationship such as many celebrities if you knew the deception amongst some religion that is biblical Christianity on steroids you would understand why they have strayed and found a way or an excuse that would allow them to do so as serving two masters. If God/Christ by the way tests the Christians or so-called he prunes the braches are these people on the straight & narrow because Christ said enter in at the straight gate? You see God gave us his only begotten son John 3:16 which is a gift. You can't earn it you must have imputed righteousness there is none that do good and they all have become unprofitable each going his own way. No one seeks after God. People should be concerned what happens after death and that your life is a vapor here today and gone tomorrow. If we don't care about the things God does then on the day of judgment when we see countless people being cursed into eternal damnation what could we have did better to try to save their soul when we were preoccupied with the ways of the world which would void the love of the father and the son.
When I was younger actually deceived not having any understanding but leaning on my own nonsense I would look at things like the above even the hippie 60s religious Jesus and think that was him. Jewish people don't look like that today and the rabbis certainly don't look like that. The danger with the above is that it's idolatry imagery. You're getting into dangerous territory. Almost like looking at horoscopes just sorcery and witchcraft. People seek for truth in the wrong places. We already know Christ is real and we also know that there are religions preaching an antichrist counterfeit and it was created to steer people away from true salvation. It is written Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. Which God did Abraham believe? Which God by the way did King Nebuchadnezzar believe in eventually? Which God the apostles worship and believe in? You know there is a story that goes around that when Christ was a child he would throw rocks into the air and they would turn into birds. Sort of that he was discovering his power. They say this comes from the fantasy Gospel of Thomas. The King James Bible 1611 which is known as God's Bible has 66 books and so if you have a Bible with 72 books that's a problem. God is precise in mathematics unbelievable.
“ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”
Jesus Christ the Jewish Messiah that would have been known as Yeshua in Hebrew in the first century sometimes called Immanuel meaning God with us testified to the fact as it is written.
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
What has been in the news in certain nations in the last specifically month? The sophistication of evil and the violent evil what they will do to do what they do and what is the result in society? We have people driving drunk murdering people. We have people high on drugs sometimes in the streets using needles shooting up and people witnessing this. We have people dying of all sorts of drugs. As you know it is reported even in Canada amongst the police they had trouble amongst their own. Who is righteous and who will lose their soul and who will not. Remember there was two thieves on the cross next to Christ. They say one lost his soul and the other went to paradise. He didn't have to get off the cross and go do a bunch of works. He repented acknowledged that they deserved their just coming/punishment and he believed in Christ and asked politely when Christ comes into his kingdom remember him. Remember Christ talked about the sinner that went home justified and the one that was arrogant he's not like everybody else in his own corrupt thinking.
9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
To cut the parable short let's get to the heart of the matter.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
The publican asked for mercy and acknowledged he was wicked no self-righteousness there and no pride. We can be with gratitude and with a sincere heart that we have achieved something but we shouldn't be prideful. Pride was the original sin of the devil. What was he pridful in his own vanity as he had extreme beauty. And what was the outcome and what did this pride lead him to do? The scriptures tell us even angels followed him in his corrupt ways and they were evicted out of Heaven down to the Earth.
"The devil, originally a high-ranking angel known as Lucifer ("morning star"), developed intense pride in his own beauty, wisdom, and power. This self-admiration, or vanity, led him to believe he was superior to his Creator and deserved the same worship as God."
The holy scriptures tell us and remind us not to lean on our own understanding. Actually it is written somewhere that if we knew God and had a relationship with God it is suggested that God would show us mighty things that we know not.
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3
