The WORD Of GOD came unto John the baptist. John Baptists instruction from the Spirit of God was to make the paths straight, and the valleys to be filled and the other types, the mountains to be brought low, and then the valleys to be exalted. The rough way which could not be walked on was made now smoothened. This was the salvation of God as declared and revealed to His servants the prophets now seen by them in Christ..Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Luke 3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
John in the spirit of Elias, knows that Christ is from forever before him, preaches that word of GOD, how GRACE AND TRUTH come by Christ..
John 1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
John also knows who he is, that he is that voice to come preaching in the wilderness, and to make Christ known to Israel he prepared by some baptising, and John bare record seeing the Spirit descending like a dove and remaining on Christ, as God had said to John that this will be He who baptises with the Holy Ghost, and John Baptist bare record that this is the Son of God..
John 1:23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God
John acknowledges that all he received was from Heaven, and the bride of course does know her bridegroom, just as John even declares his joy was already FULFILLED, hearing the voice of the bridegroom and knowing all that was to come, how Christ increases but from then on Johns time to decrease had arrived...
John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
The people saw that Christ did all the cures and miracles, they considered Him as a great prophet. The disciples of John showed John these miracles they witnessed, but the people did not know like John knew through the Spirit of God, that Christ is the Son of God. Jesus cured many of their illnesses and told the disciples of John to tell all what Jesus does confirming the whole message and declaring how to be blessed they need to not be offended in Christ, but to be believing and not faithless..John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing....
Luke 7:16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
21 And in that same hour he CURED many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
In Matthew we see how John is in prison, and John asking should we look for another? It was the disciples of John and those in Judea who doubted, but the doubters think John should doubt like they have doubt and not belief in Christ sincerely...
Matthew 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Jeremiah was first shut up in prison the same as John, because the Lord delivers one message to the prophets who are one and same together. The Lord declares to us all through them, He is revealing great and mighty things we knew not, how He gives us HEALTH AND CURE, REVEALING TO US THE ABUNDANCE OF PEACE AND TRUTH, CLEANSING US FROM ALL OUR INIQUITIES WHEREBY WE HAVE SINNED AND TRANSGRESSED AGAINST THE LORD, ALL THOSE CURES CHRIST DOES DEMONSTRATING THE FORGIVING O SINS NOW BEING FULFILLED..
Jeremiah 33:1 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
4 For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed
EVERY VALLEY FILLED, AND EVERY PROUD PERSON MADE LOW INSTEAD OF HIGH LIKE MOUNTAINS, AND THE BLIND WERE HEALED TO BE GIVEN THE STRAIGHT PATHS AS NOW THEY ARE NOT FORSAKEN TO DEATH ANY MORE AND HE BROKE IN PIECES IN SUNDER THE BARS OF IRON WHICH ARE THE DARKNESS AND THE SHADOW OF DEATH FILLING THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS(THE HOLY SPIRIT) AND THE RICH SENT EMPTY AWAY, BROUGHT LOW THE MIGHTY PUT DOWN FROM THEIR SEATS AND THE VALLEYS OF LOW DEGREE HE HATH EXALTED., THIS IS THE PROMISE TOLD TO ABRAHAM AND TO ALL HIS PROPHETS...
Isaiah 2:12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Isaiah 25:5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Luke 13:13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
Psalm 107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
Luke 1:50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
"You can’t have it both ways. Either you’re perfect and don’t need correction or you are imperfect and in need of scourging. "
These are the sufferings of Christ which we are part taker of, the chastisement, the bruising, is the scourging, and when we receive the SAME chastening and the same scourging, it is to fellowship with His sufferings, and yes Christ always was perfect and Christ being God very much always was good, and they with Him are called chosen and faithful always.Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
2 Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy
2 Corinthians 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
Matthew 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

John 19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

1 Thessalonians 1:6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, HAVING RECEIVED THE WORD IN MUCH AFFLICTIONS, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
2 Thessalonians 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and FAITH in all your PERSECUTIONS AND TRIBULATIONS that ye endure:
5 Which is a manifest TOKEN OF THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT OF GOD, THAT YE MAY BE COUNTED WORTHY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, FOR WHICH YE ALSO SUFFER:
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue IN THE FAITH, and that WE MUST THROUGH MUCH TRIBULATION ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
While Adam7777 claims to be sinless and **PERFECT** it is interesting to note that Adam7777 has **SEPARATED** from his wife and therefore has not been a **PERFECT SINLESS HUSBAND** for God's word states in Matthew 19:5,6: Jesus says, "A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they shall become one flesh, they are no longer two, but one flash. Therefore what God has joined together let no man {Like Adam7777} separate!!"
And so if Adam7777's separated wife is a Christian they are both living continually in sin for we are commanded to forgive our brother or sister or wife in Christ not 7 times but 70 times 7 times! And if Adam7777 married an unsaved woman it is also terrible sin in the NT!!
I John 1:8-10: If we claim to be without sin {Like Adam7777} we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned {Like Adam7777}, we make Him out to be a liar and His word is not in us!!
{*37*}**WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR THE NEW HEAVEN THE NEW EARTH AND THE ETERNAL NEW JERUSALEM**
Hebrews 12:26-28: God says, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens. The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken--that is created things--so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a *KINGDOM* that can not be shaken let us be thankful...for our God is a consuming fire!
2 Peter 3:10-13: But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will DISAPPEAR with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and *EVERYTHING* in it will be burned up {NIV}. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you wait eagerly for the Day of God to come. {NIV} That Day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise **WE** {Excluding the Preterists and the RC church} are looking forward to a New heavens and a New Earth, the home of righteousness.
I Corinthians 15:50--51: I declare to you brothers, that flesh and blood CANNOT INHERIT the *KINGDOM OF GOD*... Listen I tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet."
John 18:36: Jesus says, "My *KINGDOM* is not of this world....But now, my Kingdom is from another place!!"
Matthew 25:31-34: Jesus says, "When the Son of Man comes in His glory , and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people on from another... He will put the sheep on the right and the goats on His left. Then the King will say to those on His right, "Come you who are blessed of My Father, take your inheritance, the *KINGDOM* prepared for you!!"
WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR THE NEW EARTH, THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE HEAVENLY NEW JERUSALEM!!
Revelation 21:1-5: Then I saw a New heaven and a New Earth, for the {present} first heaven and first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making **EVERYTHING NEW**!" Then He said, "Write this down, for these words are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE!"
Hebrews 11:13-16: All these people {Abraham, Sarah Isaac, Jacob, Noah etc} were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were looking for a BETTER COUNTRY--a HEAVENLY ONE. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a *CITY* (The *NEW JERUSALEM*} for them!!
Galatians 4:25,26: Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the **JERUSALEM** that is **ABOVE** is free, and she is our MOTHER !!
The New Jerusalem is described in Revelation 21:9 to Revelation 22:5. The New Jerusalem will be 12,000 stadia long, high and wide as per Revelation 21:16. A stadia is 606 feet long which is the exact same length as the ancient Greek stadium. 606 feet times 12,000 equals 7,272,000 feet which is 1377 miles plus 1,440 feet. A mile is exactly 5,280 feet. {1377 times 5,280 feet equal 7,270,560 feet.} And so the New Jerusalem will be exactly 1377 miles plus 1,440 feet long, wide and high!!
Revelation 21:9-12,15-16,19,23,27; Revelation 22:1-6: The angel said to John, �Come, I will show you the Bride the Wife of the Lamb.� And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God It shone like the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel. It had a great high wall {1377 miles plus 1,440 feet HIGH!} with 12 gates, and with 12 angels at the gates.
The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the City, its gates and its walls. The City was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the City with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia {A Stadia is exactly 606 feet} in length, and as wide and high as it is long. {1377 miles plus 1,440 feet long, wide and high} The wall was made of Jasper, and the City of pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone....... The great street of the City was of pure gold, like transparent glass...... Only those written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be able to enter the New Jerusalem!
Then the angel showed me the river of the Water of Life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb {Jesus} down the middle of the great street of the City. On each side of the river stood the Tree of Life, bearing 12 crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month... The throne of God and of the **LAMB** will be in the City, and his servants will serve Him. They will see His face and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night!! They will not need the light of the lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign **FOR EVER AND EVER**. The angel said to me, �These words are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE!!�
JESUS WILL WRITE ON US THE NAME OF THE CITY OF GOD THE **NEW JERUSALEM**!!
Revelation 2:18; 3:12,21: Jesus says, "To him who overcomes I will give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it... I will write on him the name of the City of My God, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, which is coming down out of heaven from My God....And I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."
According to Revelation 22:3 the only 2 thrones in the **NEW JERUSALEM** will be the thrones of the **FATHER** and of the **LAMB** Jesus Christ.
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with His angels and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what they have done!"
Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, �Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your **REWARD** **IN HEAVEN**!�
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
Luke 11:33,34: Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a **TREASURE** IN HEAVEN** that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your **TREASURE** is, there your **HEART** will be also!"
The above inspired words of God can not be found in Adam7777's Bible since he does not believe that God's saints can earn **ETERNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS** for faithful and loving service!!

33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God
John acknowledges that all he received was from Heaven, and the bride of course does know her bridegroom, just as John even declares his joy was already FULFILLED, hearing the voice of the bridegroom and knowing all that was to come, how Christ increases but from then on Johns time to decrease had arrived...
John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

Jeremiah was first shut up in prison the same as John, because the Lord delivers one message to the prophets who are one and same together. The Lord declares to us all through them, He is revealing great and mighty things we knew not, how He gives us HEALTH AND CURE, REVEALING TO US THE ABUNDANCE OF PEACE AND TRUTH, CLEANSING US FROM ALL OUR INIQUITIES WHEREBY WE HAVE SINNED AND TRANSGRESSED AGAINST THE LORD, ALL THOSE CURES CHRIST DOES DEMONSTRATING THE FORGIVING O SINS NOW BEING FULFILLED..

7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed
EVERY VALLEY FILLED, AND EVERY PROUD PERSON MADE LOW INSTEAD OF HIGH LIKE MOUNTAINS, AND THE BLIND WERE HEALED TO BE GIVEN THE STRAIGHT PATHS AS NOW THEY ARE NOT FORSAKEN TO DEATH ANY MORE AND HE BROKE IN PIECES IN SUNDER THE BARS OF IRON WHICH ARE THE DARKNESS AND THE SHADOW OF DEATH FILLING THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS(THE HOLY SPIRIT) AND THE RICH SENT EMPTY AWAY, BROUGHT LOW THE MIGHTY PUT DOWN FROM THEIR SEATS AND THE VALLEYS OF LOW DEGREE HE HATH EXALTED., THIS IS THE PROMISE TOLD TO ABRAHAM AND TO ALL HIS PROPHETS...
Isaiah 2:12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Isaiah 25:5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Isaiah 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Isaiah 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
Luke 13:13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
Psalm 107:9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
Luke 1:50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
54 He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
More straight words..
1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
While Adam7777 claims to be sinless and **PERFECT** it is interesting to note that Adam7777 has **SEPARATED** from his wife and therefore has not been a **PERFECT SINLESS HUSBAND** for God's word states in Matthew 19:5,6: Jesus says, "A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they shall become one flesh, they are no longer two, but one flash. Therefore what God has joined together let no man {Like Adam7777} separate!!"
And so if Adam7777's separated wife is a Christian they are both living continually in sin for we are commanded to forgive our brother or sister or wife in Christ not 7 times but 70 times 7 times! And if Adam7777 married an unsaved woman it is also terrible sin in the NT!!
I John 1:8-10: If we claim to be without sin {Like Adam7777} we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned {Like Adam7777}, we make Him out to be a liar and His word is not in us!!
**WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR THE NEW HEAVEN THE NEW EARTH AND THE ETERNAL NEW JERUSALEM**
Hebrews 12:26-28: God says, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens. The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken--that is created things--so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a *KINGDOM* that can not be shaken let us be thankful...for our God is a consuming fire!
2 Peter 3:10-13: But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will DISAPPEAR with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and *EVERYTHING* in it will be burned up {NIV}. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you wait eagerly for the Day of God to come. {NIV} That Day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise **WE** {Excluding the Preterists and the RC church} are looking forward to a New heavens and a New Earth, the home of righteousness.
I Corinthians 15:50--51: I declare to you brothers, that flesh and blood CANNOT INHERIT the *KINGDOM OF GOD*... Listen I tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet."
John 18:36: Jesus says, "My *KINGDOM* is not of this world....But now, my Kingdom is from another place!!"
Matthew 25:31-34: Jesus says, "When the Son of Man comes in His glory , and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people on from another... He will put the sheep on the right and the goats on His left. Then the King will say to those on His right, "Come you who are blessed of My Father, take your inheritance, the *KINGDOM* prepared for you!!"
WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR THE NEW EARTH, THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE HEAVENLY NEW JERUSALEM!!
Revelation 21:1-5: Then I saw a New heaven and a New Earth, for the {present} first heaven and first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making **EVERYTHING NEW**!" Then He said, "Write this down, for these words are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE!"
Hebrews 11:13-16: All these people {Abraham, Sarah Isaac, Jacob, Noah etc} were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were looking for a BETTER COUNTRY--a HEAVENLY ONE. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a *CITY* (The *NEW JERUSALEM*} for them!!
Galatians 4:25,26: Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the **JERUSALEM** that is **ABOVE** is free, and she is our MOTHER !!
The New Jerusalem is described in Revelation 21:9 to Revelation 22:5. The New Jerusalem will be 12,000 stadia long, high and wide as per Revelation 21:16. A stadia is 606 feet long which is the exact same length as the ancient Greek stadium. 606 feet times 12,000 equals 7,272,000 feet which is 1377 miles plus 1,440 feet. A mile is exactly 5,280 feet. {1377 times 5,280 feet equal 7,270,560 feet.} And so the New Jerusalem will be exactly 1377 miles plus 1,440 feet long, wide and high!!
Revelation 21:9-12,15-16,19,23,27; Revelation 22:1-6: The angel said to John, �Come, I will show you the Bride the Wife of the Lamb.� And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God It shone like the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel. It had a great high wall {1377 miles plus 1,440 feet HIGH!} with 12 gates, and with 12 angels at the gates.
The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the City, its gates and its walls. The City was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the City with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia {A Stadia is exactly 606 feet} in length, and as wide and high as it is long. {1377 miles plus 1,440 feet long, wide and high} The wall was made of Jasper, and the City of pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone....... The great street of the City was of pure gold, like transparent glass...... Only those written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be able to enter the New Jerusalem!
Then the angel showed me the river of the Water of Life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb {Jesus} down the middle of the great street of the City. On each side of the river stood the Tree of Life, bearing 12 crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month... The throne of God and of the **LAMB** will be in the City, and his servants will serve Him. They will see His face and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night!! They will not need the light of the lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign **FOR EVER AND EVER**. The angel said to me, �These words are TRUSTWORTHY and TRUE!!�
JESUS WILL WRITE ON US THE NAME OF THE CITY OF GOD THE **NEW JERUSALEM**!!
Revelation 2:18; 3:12,21: Jesus says, "To him who overcomes I will give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it... I will write on him the name of the City of My God, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, which is coming down out of heaven from My God....And I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."
According to Revelation 22:3 the only 2 thrones in the **NEW JERUSALEM** will be the thrones of the **FATHER** and of the **LAMB** Jesus Christ.
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with His angels and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what they have done!"
Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, �Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your **REWARD** **IN HEAVEN**!�
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
Luke 11:33,34: Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a **TREASURE** IN HEAVEN** that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your **TREASURE** is, there your **HEART** will be also!"
The above inspired words of God can not be found in Adam7777's Bible since he does not believe that God's saints can earn **ETERNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS** for faithful and loving service!!
Christ was tempted in all ways as we are, He is our example to be without sin, even though learning obedience through what He suffered. He suffered being tempted, FOR WHAT REASON? So He is able to SUCCOUR them who are tempted. God declared He has HEARD us in a time ACCEPTED, AND IN THE DAY OF SALVATION HE HAS SUCCOURED US. HE BEARS THE SINS OF MANY AND UNTO THOSE WHO LOOK FOR HIM HE APPEARS THE SECOND TIME, AS IT IS WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION........... LEARNED FROM CHRISTS FIRST TIME....
Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
NO OFFENCE FROM THE APOSTLES, NO BLAME, BUT IN ALL THINGS WHAT? APPROVING THEMSELVES IN MUCH PATIENCE, AFFLICTIONS DISTRESSES, TUMULTS, BY PURENESS, BY LONG SUFFERING, AS DYING AND CHASTENED AND NOT KILLED..
2 Corinthians 6:3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
APOSTLE PAUL'S EXAMPLE, BEFORE HE IS EXALTED THROUGH REVELATIONS FROM THE LORD, GOD TELLS PAUL, OUR STRENGTH IS MACE PERFECT THROUGH WEAKNESS, FOR THE POWER OF CHRIST TO REST UPON US, IN INFIRMITIES, REPROACHES, IN PERSECUTIONS, IN DISTRESSES FOR CHRISTS SAKE..
2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
"You can’t have it both ways. Either you’re perfect and don’t need correction or you are imperfect and in need of scourging. "
These are the sufferings of Christ which we are part taker of, the chastisement, the bruising, is the scourging, and when we receive the SAME chastening and the same scourging, it is to fellowship with His sufferings, and yes Christ always was perfect and Christ being God very much always was good, and they with Him are called chosen and faithful always.Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
2 Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy
2 Corinthians 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
Matthew 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
Mark 15:15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
John 19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
2 Corinthians 6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, IN AFFLICTIONS, in necessities, in distresses,
1 Thessalonians 1:6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, HAVING RECEIVED THE WORD IN MUCH AFFLICTIONS, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
2 Thessalonians 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and FAITH in all your PERSECUTIONS AND TRIBULATIONS that ye endure:
5 Which is a manifest TOKEN OF THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT OF GOD, THAT YE MAY BE COUNTED WORTHY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, FOR WHICH YE ALSO SUFFER:
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue IN THE FAITH, and that WE MUST THROUGH MUCH TRIBULATION ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
I John 1:6: Whoever claims to live in Him **MUST LIVE AS JESUS DID**!!
John 15:12: Jesus says, "**MY COMMAND** is this: Love each other **AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**!!"
Every born from above saint will try to obey the above two New Covenant commands with all their heart. However, it is obvious that God's saints will fall short of completely obeying the above two commands.
While Adam7777 claims to be sinless and **PERFECT** it is interesting to note that Adam7777 has **SEPARATED** from his wife and therefore has not been a **PERFECT SINLESS HUSBAND** for God's word states in Matthew 19:5,6: Jesus says, "A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they shall become one flesh, they are no longer two, but one flash. Therefore what God has joined together let no man {Like Adam7777} separate!!"
And so if Adam7777's separated wife is a Christian they are both living continually in sin for we are commanded to forgive our brother or sister or wife in Christ not 7 times but 70 times 7 times! And if Adam7777 married an unsaved woman it is also terrible sin in the NT!!
I John 1:8-10: If we claim to be without sin {Like Adam7777}, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned {Like Adam7777} we make Him out to be a liar and His Word is not in us!
Luke 11:1-4: The **DISCIPLES** asked Jesus, "Lord teach as to pray." Jesus replied **TO HIS DISCIPLES**, "When you pray, say: '**FATHER**, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our **DAILY** bread. **FORGIVE US OUR SINS**, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us!'"
Revelation 3:19: Jesus says, "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, so be earnest and **REPENT**!!"
Hebrews 12:5-11: Do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He chastens **EVERYONE** HE ACCEPTS AS A SON**!!! Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined--and everyone undergoes discipline--**THEN YOU ARE NOT LEGITIMATE**, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it!
Since Adam7777 claims that he **NO LONGER SINNED** the moment he was saved; he completely disagrees with the above 3 passages from the inspired Words of God. And since he believes he was completely perfect when he was saved there is no reason for him to want **ETERNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS** for faithful and loving service.
**HOWEVER, GOD'S WORD COMPLETELY DISAGREES WITH HIM**!!
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with His angels and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what they have done!"
Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, �Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your **REWARD** **IN HEAVEN**!�
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
Luke 11:33,34: Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a **TREASURE** IN HEAVEN** that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your **TREASURE** is, there your **HEART** will be also!"
Prayerfully is included in the testimony here below, prayer in a time of acceptance in the time of salvation..
"Don’t you have a qualified pastor or teacher you can learn from? As a “perfect” person, surely you would obey scripture commanding believers to meet together and submit to biblically quailed elders.
Do you obey God’s inspired word by meeting together with other believers who can encourage you?
Are you aware there’s a verse that says God has provided some men as pastors and teachers to prepare Gods people for works of service?? Do you know where this verse is found?? Do you believe that **you** have the responsibility to playfully find these men and learn from them??"
Your opinion shows both your way and your teaching is that all people on this planet must listen to yourself and all the self appointed teacher/pastors in this life. Coming together with encouragement in that direction. Insisting we need to LEARN from these men, pastors and teachers.
Now everybody who does see the scripture here, can see with me, God gave the Apostles first, then prophets, then evangelists, and lastly the pastors and teachers. The apostles are gone and the prophets, all that remains are the ones who say they are your pastor and your teacher. But all that was originally given was for the perfecting of the saints, till we all came in the unity of the same faith as those apostles and prophets, unto a perfect man, the measure of the stature of Christ, to be no more carried about by the craftiness of men who wish to teach us, with their winds of doctrine, to deceive, but we grow up into Him in all things....
Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
We do not learn Christ as the coveteous Gentiles, as we hear Him and we be taught by Him, it is we who put off the former conversation of the old man, and i we who be renewed in the spirit of our mind, and it is we who put in the new man, created in righteousness and true holiness through God(through no men) an it we who speak truth with our neighbour, for we are the same members as the ones you insist we must learn from..
Ephesians 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Hebrews 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1 John 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1 Corinthians 4:13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
"No Adam, Jesus did not need to “scourged@ as a son needing discipline!! You’re abusing the original meaning of scripture.
How is it Adam, that you claiming to be “perfect” and “sinless” continue to misquote scripture, even attributing error to it. Do you understand this is a sin and it a sin of which “perfect” people, such as you, ought not to fall into.
In light of the mounting evidence proving your sinfulness, hope you rethink your “perfectionist” absurdity and agree that only Jesus, not you, is real perfection!!"
Christ was tempted in all ways as we are, He is our example to be without sin, even though learning obedience through what He suffered.� He suffered being tempted, FOR WHAT REASON? So He is able to SUCCOUR them who are tempted. God declared He has HEARD us in a time ACCEPTED, AND IN THE DAY OF SALVATION HE HAS SUCCOURED US. HE BEARS THE SINS OF MANY AND UNTO THOSE WHO LOOK FOR HIM HE APPEARS THE SECOND TIME, AS IT IS WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION........... LEARNED FROM CHRISTS FIRST TIME....
Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath SUFFERED BEING TEMPTED, HE IS ABLE TO SUCCOUR THEM THAT ARE TEMPTED.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be TOUCHED WITH THE FEELING OF OUR INFIRMITIES; but was IN ALL POINTS TEMPTED LIKE AS WE ARE, YET WITHOUT SIN.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore COME BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, that we may obtain mercy, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED.
Hebrews 5:8 Though he were A SON, yet LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE BY THE THINGS WHICH HE SUFFERED;
9 And being made perfect, HE BECAME THE AUTHOR OF ETERNAL SALVATION UNTO ALL THEM THAT OBEY HIM;
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once OFFERED TO BEAR THE SINS OF MANY; and UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM SHALL HE APPEAR THE SECOND TIME WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION.
Acts 13:2 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that THE PROMISE WHICH WAS MADE UNTO THE FATHERS,
33 GOD HATH FULFILLED the same unto us their children, IN THAT HE HATH RAISED UP JESUS AGAIN; as it is also written in the second psalm, THOU ART MY SON, THIS DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE.
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, NOW NO MORE TO RETURN TO CORRUPTION, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, THOU SHALT NOT SUFFER THINE HOLY ONE TO SEE CORRUPTION.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 BUT HE, WHOM GOD RAISED AGAIN, SAW NO CORRUPTION.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I HAVE HEARD THEE IN A TIME ACCEPTED, and IN THE DAY OF SALVATION HAVE I SUCCOURED THEE: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Psalm 49:15 But GOD WILL REDEEM MY SOUL ROM THE POWER OF THE GRAVE: for he shall receive me. Selah.
Psalm 69:13 But as for me, MY PRAYER IS UNTO THEE, O Lord, IN AN ACCEPTABLE TIME: O God, IN THE MULTITUDE OF THY MERCY HEAR ME, IN THE TRUTH OF THY SALVATION.
Psalm 69:18 DRAW NIGH UNTO MY SOUL, AND REDEEM IT: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Psalm 69:29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33 For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
NO OFFENCE FROM THE APOSTLES, NO BLAME, BUT IN ALL THINGS WHAT? APPROVING THEMSELVES IN MUCH PATIENCE, AFFLICTIONS DISTRESSES, TUMULTS, BY PURENESS, BY LONG SUFFERING, AS DYING AND CHASTENED AND NOT KILLED..
2 Corinthians 6:3 GIVING NO OFFENCE IN ANY THING, that the ministry BE NOT BLAMED:
4 But IN ALL THINGS APPROVING OURSELVES as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 IN STRIPES, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 BY PURENESS, by knowledge, by LONG SUFFERING, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; AS CHASTENED, AND NOT KILLED;
10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; AS HAVING NOTHING, AND YET POSSESSING ALL THINGS.
APOSTLE PAUL'S EXAMPLE, BEFORE HE IS EXALTED THROUGH REVELATIONS FROM THE LORD, GOD TELLS PAUL, OUR STRENGTH IS MACE PERFECT THROUGH WEAKNESS, FOR THE POWER OF CHRIST TO REST UPON US, IN INFIRMITIES, REPROACHES, IN PERSECUTIONS, IN DISTRESSES FOR CHRISTS SAKE..
2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather GLORY IN MY INFIRMITIES, THAT THE POWER OF CHRIST MAY REST UPON ME.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
"You can’t have it both ways. Either you’re perfect and don’t need correction or you are imperfect and in need of scourging. "
These are the sufferings of Christ which we are part taker of, the chastisement, the bruising, is the scourging, and when we receive the SAME chastening and the same scourging, it is to fellowship with His sufferings, and yes Christ always was perfect and Christ being God very much always was good, and they with Him are called chosen and faithful always.Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS, BEING MADE COMFORMABLE UNTO HIS DEATH;
2 Corinthians 1:5 For as THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST ABOUND IN US, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are PARTAKERS OF CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy
2 Corinthians 4:8 We are TROUBLED ON EVERY SIDE, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 PERSECUTED, but not forsaken; CAST DOWN, but not destroyed;
10 ALWAYS BEARING ABOUT IN THE BODY THE DYING OF THE LORD JESUS, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was BRUISED for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.
Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the Lord TO BRUISE HIM; he hath PUT HIM TO GRIEF: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
Matthew 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had SCOURGED JESUS, he delivered him to be crucified.
Mark 15:15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had SCOURGED HIM, TO BE CRUCIFIED.
John 19:1 Then Pilate therefore TOOK JESUS, AND SCOURGED HIM.
Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I HAVE REFINED THEE, but not with silver; I have CHOSEN THEE IN THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION.
2 Corinthians 6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, IN AFFLICTIONS, in necessities, in distresses,
1 Thessalonians 1:6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, HAVING RECEIVED THE WORD IN MUCH AFFLICTIONS, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
2 Thessalonians 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and FAITH in all your PERSECUTIONS AND TRIBULATIONS that ye endure:
5 Which is a manifest TOKEN OF THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT OF GOD, THAT YE MAY BE COUNTED WORTHY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, FOR WHICH YE ALSO SUFFER:
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue IN THE FAITH, and that WE MUST THROUGH MUCH TRIBULATION ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and UNDEFILED, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 WHO ARE KEPT BY POWER OF GOD THROUGH FAITH UNTO SALVATION ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are IN HEAVINESS THROUGH MANIFOLD TEMPTATIONS:
7 THAT THE TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH, BEING MUCH MORE PRECIOUS THAN OF GOLD THAT PERISHETH, THOUGH IT BE TRIED WITH FIRE, might be FOUND UNTO praise and HONOUR AND GLORY at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving THE END OF YOUR FAITH, EVEN THE SALVATION OF YOUR SOULS.
Isaiah 58:7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; AND THAT THOU HIDE NOT THYSELF FROM THINE OWN FLESH?
Galatians 5:14 FOR ALL THE LAW IS FULFILLED IN ONE WORD, EVEN IN THIS; THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.
Ephesians 5:29 FOR NO MAN EVER YET HATED HIS OWN FLESH; BUT NOURISHETH AND CHERISHETH IT, EVEN AS THE LORD THE CHURCH:
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget YOUR WORK AND LABOUR OF LOVE, WHICH YE HAVE SHEWED TOWARD HIS NAME , IN THAT YE HAVE MINISTERED TO THE SAINTS, AND DO MINISTER.
11 And we desire that every one of you do SHEW THE SAME DILLIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 THAT YE BE NOT SLOTHFUL, BUT FOLLOWERS OF THEM WHO THROUGH FAITH AND PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES.
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, BUT TO LOVE ANOTHER: FOR HE THAT LOVETH ANOTHER HATH FULFILLED THE LAW.
9 FOR THIS, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, THOU SHALT NOT COVET; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly COMPREHENDED IN THIS SAYING, namely, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.
10 LOVE WORKETH NO ILL TO HIS NEIGHBOUR: THEREFORE LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW.
11 And that, knowing the time, that NOW IT IS HIGH TIME TO AWAKE OUT OF SLEEP: for now is our SALVATION NEARER THAN WHEN WE BELIEVED.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: LET US THEREFORE CAST OFF THE WORKS OF DARKNESS, AND LET US PUT ON THE ARMOUR OF LIGHT.
Ephesians 4:12 FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS, for THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY, for THE EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST:
13 TILL WE ALL COME IN THE UNITY OF THE FAITH, AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD, UNTO A PERFECT MAN, UNTO THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST:
14 That we HENCEFORTH BE NO MORE CHILDREN, tossed to and fro, and CARRIED ABOUT WITH EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE, BY THE SLEIGHT OF MEN, AND CUNNING CRAFTINESS, WHEREBY THEY LIE IN WAIT TO DECEIVE;
15 BUT SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE, MAY GROW UP INTO HIM IN ALL THINGS, which is the head, even Christ:
16 FROM WHOM THE WHOLE BODY FITLY FRAMED TOGETHER and compacted by that WHICH EVERY JOINT SUPPLIETH, ACCORDING TO THE EFFECTUAL WORKING IN THE MEASURE OF EVERY PART, maketh increase of the body UNTO THE EDIFYING OF ITSELF IN LOVE.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye HENCEFORTH WALK NOT AS OTHER GENTILES WALK, IN THE VANITY OF THEIR MIND,
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19 WHO BEING PAST FEELING HAVE GIVEN THEMSELVES OVER UNTO LASCIVIOUSNESS, TO WORK ALL UNCLEANNESS WITH GREEDINESS.
TO THE ONES WHO THINK LOVE IS FAILURE, THEY CONFESS THEIR TRUE BELIEF IN WHO CHRIST IS TO THEM, AND OF THEIR GREED FOR REWARDS THEY EXPRESS NON STOP TOO.
2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, BE DILLIGENT THAT YE MAY BE FOUND OF HIM IN PEACE, WITHOUT SPOT, 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 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.
Colossians 3: 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 AFFECTIONS ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON THINGS ON THE EARTH.
3 FOR YE ARE DEAD, and YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST in God.
Romans 6:4 THEREFORE WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even SO WE ALSO SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE.
5 For if we have been PLANTED TOGEGTHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH, we shall BE ALSO IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS RESURRECTION:
6 Knowing this, that our OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, that THE BODY OF SIN might be DESTROYED, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 FOR HE THAT IS DEAD IS FREED FROM SIN.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 FOR IN THAT HE DIED, HE DIED UNTO SIN ONCE: BUT IN THAT HE LIVETH, HE LIVETH UNTO GOD.
11 LIKEWISE� RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
1 Corinthians 7:12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath A WIFE THAT BELIEVETH NOT. AND SHE BE PLEASED TO DWELL WITH HIM, let him not put her away.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 BUT IF THE UNBELIEVING DEPART< LET HIM DEPART< A BROTHER OR A SISTER IS NOT UNDER BONDAGE IN SUCH CASES: but God hath called us to peace.
1 John 2:19 THEY WENT OUT FROM US< BUT THEY WERE NOT OF US< FOR IF THEY HAD BEEN OF US, THEY WOULD NO DOUBT HAVE CONTINUED WITH US: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Micah 7:5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: KEEP THE DOOR OF THY MOUTH FROM HER THAT LIETH IN THY BOSOM.
Micah 7:6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Luke 12:51 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 10:35 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 MANS FOES SHALL BE THEY OUT OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and HE THAT LOVETH SON OR DAUGHTER MORE THAN ME IS NOT WORTHY OF ME.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Genesis 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for BECAUSE THOU HAST DONE THIS THING< AND HAST NOT WITHHELD THY SON< THINE ONLY SON:
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and THY SEED SHALL POSSESS THE GATE OF HIS ENEMY;
18 And in thy seed shall ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED< BECAUSE THOU HAST OBEYED MY VOICE.
1 Corinthians 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 THE LAST ENEMY THAT SHALL BE DESTROYED IS DEATH.
Hebrews 11:17 BY FAITH ABRAHAM< WHEN HE WAS TRIED< OFFERED UP ISAAC< AND HE THAT HAD RECEIVED THE PROMISES OFFERED UP HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,
Luke 14:26 IF ANY MAN COME TO ME AND HATE NOT HIS FATHER< AND MOTHER< AND WIFE< AND CHILDREN< AND BRETHREN< AND SISTERS, yea, and his own life also, HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Psalm 69:7 BECAUSE FOR THY SAKE I HAVE BORN REPROACH; shame hath covered my face.
8 I AM BECOME A STRANGER UNTO MY BRETHREN< AND AN ALIEN UNTO MY MOTHER'S CHILDREN.
John 7:5 FOR NEITHER DID HIS BRETHREN BELIEVE IN HIM.
Luke 21:16 AND YE SHALL BE BETRAYED BOTH BY PARENTS< AND BRETHREN< AND KINSFOLKS, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 AND YE SHALL BE HATED OF ALL MEN FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.
Matthew 24:9 Then shall they DELIVER YOU UP TO BE AFFLICTED, and shall kill you: and YE SHALL BE HATED OF ALL NATIONS FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.
10 And then shall MANY SHALL BE OFFENDED< AND SHALL BETRAY ONE ANOTHER.
Mark 13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; AND CHILDREN SHALL RISE UP AGAINST THEIR PARENTS< AND SHALL CAUSE THEM TO BE PUT TO DEATH.
13 AND YE SHALL BE HATED OF ALL MEN FOR MY NAME'S SAKE: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Psalm 41:9 Yea, MINE OWN FAMILIAR FRIEND< IN WHOM I TRUSTED, which did eat of my bread, hath LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.
Psalm 55:12 For it was NOT AN ENEMY THAT REPROACHED ME; THEN I COULD HAVE BORNE IT: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 BUT IT WAS THOU, a man MINE EQUAL< MY GUIDE, and mine acquaintance.
14 WE TOOK SWEET COUNCEL TOGETHER, and walked unto the house of God in company.
Matthew 26:48 NOW HE THAT BETRAYED HIM GAVE THEM A SIGN, saying, WHOMSOEVER I SHALL KISS, that same is he: hold him fast.
Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL.
THE GIFT OF GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD, NONE DID GOOD OR SOUGHT AFTER GOD, NOW JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE,� THE REMISSION OF SINS THAT ARE PAST, AND CHRIST IS JUST AND THE JUSTIFIER OF HIM THAT BELIEVETH IN JESUS, AND IF WE SAY WE HAVE NOT SINNED WE LIE, SO WE CONFESS THE SINS THAT ARE PAST AND BE JUSTIFIED..
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Pray to be forgiven, and when Christ gave His blood that is the forgiveness. Proof of forgiveness is receiving of the Holy Ghost and proof of repentance. Non converted are told beware of cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares, so pray always to be accounted worthy, for that day has come as a snare to ALL THEM WHO DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH..
Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
So knowing that the whole world has not heard the warning, they can hear to repent and change none of the things warned above, and then just keep confessing your failings instead of knowing FLAMING FIRE VENGEANCE ON THEM THAT KNOW NOT GOD< HEARING THE DECEIVER SAYING TO BOTH OBEY GOD AND TO DISOBEY ALSO< BUT GOD COMES TO BE GLORIFIED IN HIS SAINTS< SO THEY PRAY THIS FOR US< THAT GOD WOULD COUNT YOU WORTHY OF THIS CALLING< FULFILLING ALL THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS GOODNESS< THE WORK OF FAITH NOT WITH LUKEWARM POWER< BUT WITH POWER< BEING GLORIFIED IN CHRIST AND YOU GLORIFIED IN HIM BY GRACE IS HOLINESS..
2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 3:13 TO THE END HE MAY STABLISH YOUR HEARTS UNBLAMABLE IN HOLINESS BEFORE GOD, EVEN OUR FATHER, AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH ALL HIS SAINT.
Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for THE TIME IS AT HAND.
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.
12 AND BEHOLD< I COME QUICKLY< AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME< TO GIVE EVERY MAN ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE.
Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I KNOW THY WORKS< THAT THOU HAST A NAME THAT THOU LIVEST< AND ART DEAD.
2 BE WATCHFUL< AND STRENGTHEN THE THINGS WHICH REMAIN< THAT ARE READY TO DIE: FOR I HAVE NOT FOUND YOUR WORKS PERFECT BEFORE GOD.
3 REMEMBER THEREFORE HOW THOU HAST RECEIVED AND HEARD< AND HOLD FAST< AND REPENT. If therefore THOU SHALT NOT WATCH< I WILL COME ON THEE AS A THIEF< AND THOU SHALT NOT KNOW WHAT HOUR I WILL COME UPON THEE.
4 Thou hast A FEW NAMES even in Sardis which HAVE NOT DEFILED THEIR GARMENTS; AND THEY SHALL WALK WITH ME IN WHITE: FOR THEY ARE WORTHY.
5 HE THAT OVERCOMETH, THE SAME SHALL BE CLOTHED IN WHITE RAIMENT, AND I WILL NOT BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFEe that overcometh, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES.
Revelation 4:11 THOU ART WORTHY, O Lord, TO RECEIVE GLORY AND HONOUR AND POWER: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Revelation 17:13 THESE HAVE ONE MIND, AND SHALL GIVE THEIR POWER AND STRENGTH UNTO THE BEAST.
14 THESE SHALL MAKE WAR WITH THE LAMB, AND THE LAMB SHALL OVERCOME THEM: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: AND THEY THAT ARE WITH HIM ARE CALLED<, AND CHOSEN, AND FAITHFUL.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are PEOPLES, AND MULTITUDES, AND NATIONS, AND TONGUES.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For GOD HATH PUT IN THEIR HEARTS TO FULFILL HIS WILL, and to agree, AND GIVE THEIR KINGDOM UNTO THE BEAST UNTIL THE WORDS OF GOD SHALL BE FULFILLED.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth OVER THE KINGS OF THE EARTH.
1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye ALL SPEAK THE SAME THING, AND THAT THERE BE NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU; but that ye BE PERFECTLY JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND AND IN THE SAME JUDGEMENT.
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon HIM WAS CALLED FAITHFUL AND TRUE, AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS HE DOTH JUDGE AND MAKE WAR.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And THE ARMIES which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with WHICH HAD DECEIVED THEM THAT HAD RECEIVED THE MARK OF THE BEAST, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 AND ALL THE REMNANT WERE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD OF HIM THAT SAT UPON THE HORSE, WHICH SWORD PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH: AND ALL THE FOWLS WERE FILLED WITH THEIR FLESH.
Isaiah 44:20 He feedeth on ashes: A DECEIVED HEART hath TURNED HIM ASIDE, THAT HE CANNOT DELIVER HIS SOUL, NOR SAY, IS THERE NOT A LIE IN MY RIGHT HAND?
Revelation 13:16 AND HE CAUSETH ALL, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, TO RECEIVE A MARK IN THEIR RIGHT HAND, or in their foreheads:
Matthew 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 THE SON OF MAN SHALL SEND FORTH HIS ANGELS, AND THEY SHALL GATHER OUT OF HIS KINGDOM,(now His Kingdom is from hence) ALL THINGS THAT OFFEND, AND THEM WHICH DO INIQUITY;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: THE ANGELS SHALL COME FORTH, AND SEVER THE WICKED FROM AMONG THE JUST,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be A RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, BOTH OF THE JUST AND UNJUST.
16 AND HEREIN DO I EXERCISE MYSELF, TO HAVE ALWAYS A CONSCIENCE VOID TO OFFENCE TOWARD GOD, AND TOWARD MEN. ( NOT PRAYING FOR FORGIVENESS FOR HIS LACK OF CONSCIENCE IN CHRIST AND OFFENCE TOWARD BOTH GOD AND MAN)
I John 1:6: Whoever claims to live in Him **MUST LIVE AS JESUS DID**!!
John 15:12: Jesus says, "**MY COMMAND** is this: Love each other **AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**!!"
Every born from above saint will try to obey the above two New Covenant commands with all their heart. However, it is obvious that God's saints will fall short of completely obeying the above two commands.
While Adam7777 claims to be sinless and **PERFECT** it is interesting to note that Adam7777 has **SEPARATED** from his wife and therefore has not been a **PERFECT SINLESS HUSBAND** for God's word states in Matthew 19:5,6: Jesus says, "A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they shall become one flesh, they are no longer two, but one flash. Therefore what God has joined together let no man {Like Adam7777} separate!!"
And so if Adam7777's separated wife is a Christian they are both living continually in sin for we are commanded to forgive our brother or sister or wife in Christ not 7 times but 70 times 7 times! And if Adam7777 married an unsaved woman it is also terrible sin in the NT!!
I John 1:8-10: If we claim to be without sin {Like Adam7777}, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned {Like Adam7777} we make Him out to be a liar and His Word is not in us!
Luke 11:1-4: The **DISCIPLES** asked Jesus, "Lord teach as to pray." Jesus replied **TO HIS DISCIPLES**, "When you pray, say: '**FATHER**, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our **DAILY** bread. **FORGIVE US OUR SINS**, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us!'"
James 5:16: **CONFESS YOUR SINS** to each other and pray for each other!!
Psalm 38:18: David said, "I **CONFESS MY SIN**; I am troubled by **MY SIN**!"
Daniel 9:20: Daniel said, "While I was speaking and praying, **CONFESSING MY SIN**!"
Revelation 3:19: Jesus says, "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, so be earnest and **REPENT**!!" {**OF YOUR SINS**!!}
Hebrews 12:5-11: Do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He chastens **EVERYONE** HE ACCEPTS AS A SON**!!! Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His children. For what children are not disciplined by their father {FOR THEIR SINS**}? If you are not disciplined--and everyone undergoes discipline--**THEN YOU ARE NOT LEGITIMATE**, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us{FOR OUR SINS!} and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it!
Since Adam7777 claims that he **NO LONGER SINNED** the moment he was saved; he completely disagrees with the above 3 passages from the inspired Words of God. And since he believes he was completely perfect when he was saved there is no reason for him to want **ETERNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS** for faithful and loving service.
**HOWEVER, GOD'S WORD COMPLETELY DISAGREES WITH HIM**!!
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with His angels and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what they have done!"
Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, �Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your **REWARD** **IN HEAVEN**!�
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
Luke 11:33,34: Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a **TREASURE** IN HEAVEN** that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your **TREASURE** is, there your **HEART** will be also!"
"Adam, do you believe Jesus was scourged as a son because he was like sinful sons of men needing correction? The verse you quoted about sons needing scourging and applied to Jesus is about sons born to sinful men needing correction. It’s not about Jesus!
Adam, do you, as a self-proclaimed perfect and sinless person, submit to the leadership of a biblical church? Why do you not want to answer this question?"
We follow Jesus Christ in all things, read below to see that fairly easily understood. The verses about scourging apply to us needing correction from men, and then the difference in the Lord receiving us is corrected to Holiness from unrighteousness. Suffering is part of that, which we share in the sufferings of Christ, and His suffering and chastisement had nothing to do with sin also.
I do submit to the biblical church:
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Do you see any of the scriptures below showing we are not sanctified on this earth in preparation for the return of Christ? Or only you are entitled to ask questions?
Prayerfully is included in the testimony here below, prayer in a time of acceptance in the time of salvation..
"Don’t you have a qualified pastor or teacher you can learn from? As a “perfect” person, surely you would obey scripture commanding believers to meet together and submit to biblically quailed elders.
Do you obey God’s inspired word by meeting together with other believers who can encourage you?
Are you aware there’s a verse that says God has provided some men as pastors and teachers to prepare Gods people for works of service?? Do you know where this verse is found?? Do you believe that **you** have the responsibility to playfully find these men and learn from them??"
Your opinion shows both your way and your teaching is that all people on this planet must listen to yourself and all the self appointed teacher/pastors in this life. Coming together with encouragement in that direction. Insisting we need to LEARN from these men, pastors and teachers.
Now everybody who does see the scripture here, can see with me, God gave the Apostles first, then prophets, then evangelists, and lastly the pastors and teachers. The apostles are gone and the prophets, all that remains are the ones who say they are your pastor and your teacher. But all that was originally given was for the perfecting of the saints, till we all came in the unity of the same faith as those apostles and prophets, unto a perfect man, the measure of the stature of Christ, to be no more carried about by the craftiness of men who wish to teach us, with their winds of doctrine, to deceive, but we grow up into Him in all things....
Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
We do not learn Christ as the coveteous Gentiles, as we hear Him and we be taught by Him, it is we who put off the former conversation of the old man, and i we who be renewed in the spirit of our mind, and it is we who put in the new man, created in righteousness and true holiness through God(through no men) an it we who speak truth with our neighbour, for we are the same members as the ones you insist we must learn from..
Ephesians 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Hebrews 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1 John 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1 Corinthians 4:13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
"No Adam, Jesus did not need to “scourged@ as a son needing discipline!! You’re abusing the original meaning of scripture.
How is it Adam, that you claiming to be “perfect” and “sinless” continue to misquote scripture, even attributing error to it. Do you understand this is a sin and it a sin of which “perfect” people, such as you, ought not to fall into.
In light of the mounting evidence proving your sinfulness, hope you rethink your “perfectionist” absurdity and agree that only Jesus, not you, is real perfection!!"
Christ was tempted in all ways as we are, He is our example to be without sin, even though learning obedience through what He suffered.� He suffered being tempted, FOR WHAT REASON? So He is able to SUCCOUR them who are tempted. God declared He has HEARD us in a time ACCEPTED, AND IN THE DAY OF SALVATION HE HAS SUCCOURED US. HE BEARS THE SINS OF MANY AND UNTO THOSE WHO LOOK FOR HIM HE APPEARS THE SECOND TIME, AS IT IS WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION........... LEARNED FROM CHRISTS FIRST TIME....
Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath SUFFERED BEING TEMPTED, HE IS ABLE TO SUCCOUR THEM THAT ARE TEMPTED.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be TOUCHED WITH THE FEELING OF OUR INFIRMITIES; but was IN ALL POINTS TEMPTED LIKE AS WE ARE, YET WITHOUT SIN.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore COME BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, that we may obtain mercy, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED.
Hebrews 5:8 Though he were A SON, yet LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE BY THE THINGS WHICH HE SUFFERED;
9 And being made perfect, HE BECAME THE AUTHOR OF ETERNAL SALVATION UNTO ALL THEM THAT OBEY HIM;
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once OFFERED TO BEAR THE SINS OF MANY; and UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM SHALL HE APPEAR THE SECOND TIME WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION.
Acts 13:2 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that THE PROMISE WHICH WAS MADE UNTO THE FATHERS,
33 GOD HATH FULFILLED the same unto us their children, IN THAT HE HATH RAISED UP JESUS AGAIN; as it is also written in the second psalm, THOU ART MY SON, THIS DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE.
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, NOW NO MORE TO RETURN TO CORRUPTION, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, THOU SHALT NOT SUFFER THINE HOLY ONE TO SEE CORRUPTION.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 BUT HE, WHOM GOD RAISED AGAIN, SAW NO CORRUPTION.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I HAVE HEARD THEE IN A TIME ACCEPTED, and IN THE DAY OF SALVATION HAVE I SUCCOURED THEE: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Psalm 49:15 But GOD WILL REDEEM MY SOUL ROM THE POWER OF THE GRAVE: for he shall receive me. Selah.
Psalm 69:13 But as for me, MY PRAYER IS UNTO THEE, O Lord, IN AN ACCEPTABLE TIME: O God, IN THE MULTITUDE OF THY MERCY HEAR ME, IN THE TRUTH OF THY SALVATION.
Psalm 69:18 DRAW NIGH UNTO MY SOUL, AND REDEEM IT: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Psalm 69:29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33 For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
NO OFFENCE FROM THE APOSTLES, NO BLAME, BUT IN ALL THINGS WHAT? APPROVING THEMSELVES IN MUCH PATIENCE, AFFLICTIONS DISTRESSES, TUMULTS, BY PURENESS, BY LONG SUFFERING, AS DYING AND CHASTENED AND NOT KILLED..
2 Corinthians 6:3 GIVING NO OFFENCE IN ANY THING, that the ministry BE NOT BLAMED:
4 But IN ALL THINGS APPROVING OURSELVES as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 IN STRIPES, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 BY PURENESS, by knowledge, by LONG SUFFERING, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; AS CHASTENED, AND NOT KILLED;
10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; AS HAVING NOTHING, AND YET POSSESSING ALL THINGS.
APOSTLE PAUL'S EXAMPLE, BEFORE HE IS EXALTED THROUGH REVELATIONS FROM THE LORD, GOD TELLS PAUL, OUR STRENGTH IS MACE PERFECT THROUGH WEAKNESS, FOR THE POWER OF CHRIST TO REST UPON US, IN INFIRMITIES, REPROACHES, IN PERSECUTIONS, IN DISTRESSES FOR CHRISTS SAKE..
2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather GLORY IN MY INFIRMITIES, THAT THE POWER OF CHRIST MAY REST UPON ME.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
"You can’t have it both ways. Either you’re perfect and don’t need correction or you are imperfect and in need of scourging. "
These are the sufferings of Christ which we are part taker of, the chastisement, the bruising, is the scourging, and when we receive the SAME chastening and the same scourging, it is to fellowship with His sufferings, and yes Christ always was perfect and Christ being God very much always was good, and they with Him are called chosen and faithful always.Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS, BEING MADE COMFORMABLE UNTO HIS DEATH;
2 Corinthians 1:5 For as THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST ABOUND IN US, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are PARTAKERS OF CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy
2 Corinthians 4:8 We are TROUBLED ON EVERY SIDE, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 PERSECUTED, but not forsaken; CAST DOWN, but not destroyed;
10 ALWAYS BEARING ABOUT IN THE BODY THE DYING OF THE LORD JESUS, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was BRUISED for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.
Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the Lord TO BRUISE HIM; he hath PUT HIM TO GRIEF: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
Matthew 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had SCOURGED JESUS, he delivered him to be crucified.
Mark 15:15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had SCOURGED HIM, TO BE CRUCIFIED.
John 19:1 Then Pilate therefore TOOK JESUS, AND SCOURGED HIM.
Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I HAVE REFINED THEE, but not with silver; I have CHOSEN THEE IN THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION.
2 Corinthians 6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, IN AFFLICTIONS, in necessities, in distresses,
1 Thessalonians 1:6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, HAVING RECEIVED THE WORD IN MUCH AFFLICTIONS, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
2 Thessalonians 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and FAITH in all your PERSECUTIONS AND TRIBULATIONS that ye endure:
5 Which is a manifest TOKEN OF THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT OF GOD, THAT YE MAY BE COUNTED WORTHY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, FOR WHICH YE ALSO SUFFER:
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue IN THE FAITH, and that WE MUST THROUGH MUCH TRIBULATION ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and UNDEFILED, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 WHO ARE KEPT BY POWER OF GOD THROUGH FAITH UNTO SALVATION ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are IN HEAVINESS THROUGH MANIFOLD TEMPTATIONS:
7 THAT THE TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH, BEING MUCH MORE PRECIOUS THAN OF GOLD THAT PERISHETH, THOUGH IT BE TRIED WITH FIRE, might be FOUND UNTO praise and HONOUR AND GLORY at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving THE END OF YOUR FAITH, EVEN THE SALVATION OF YOUR SOULS.
Isaiah 58:7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; AND THAT THOU HIDE NOT THYSELF FROM THINE OWN FLESH?
Galatians 5:14 FOR ALL THE LAW IS FULFILLED IN ONE WORD, EVEN IN THIS; THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.
Ephesians 5:29 FOR NO MAN EVER YET HATED HIS OWN FLESH; BUT NOURISHETH AND CHERISHETH IT, EVEN AS THE LORD THE CHURCH:
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget YOUR WORK AND LABOUR OF LOVE, WHICH YE HAVE SHEWED TOWARD HIS NAME , IN THAT YE HAVE MINISTERED TO THE SAINTS, AND DO MINISTER.
11 And we desire that every one of you do SHEW THE SAME DILLIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 THAT YE BE NOT SLOTHFUL, BUT FOLLOWERS OF THEM WHO THROUGH FAITH AND PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES.
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, BUT TO LOVE ANOTHER: FOR HE THAT LOVETH ANOTHER HATH FULFILLED THE LAW.
9 FOR THIS, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, THOU SHALT NOT COVET; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly COMPREHENDED IN THIS SAYING, namely, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.
10 LOVE WORKETH NO ILL TO HIS NEIGHBOUR: THEREFORE LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW.
11 And that, knowing the time, that NOW IT IS HIGH TIME TO AWAKE OUT OF SLEEP: for now is our SALVATION NEARER THAN WHEN WE BELIEVED.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: LET US THEREFORE CAST OFF THE WORKS OF DARKNESS, AND LET US PUT ON THE ARMOUR OF LIGHT.
Ephesians 4:12 FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS, for THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY, for THE EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST:
13 TILL WE ALL COME IN THE UNITY OF THE FAITH, AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD, UNTO A PERFECT MAN, UNTO THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST:
14 That we HENCEFORTH BE NO MORE CHILDREN, tossed to and fro, and CARRIED ABOUT WITH EVERY WIND OF DOCTRINE, BY THE SLEIGHT OF MEN, AND CUNNING CRAFTINESS, WHEREBY THEY LIE IN WAIT TO DECEIVE;
15 BUT SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE, MAY GROW UP INTO HIM IN ALL THINGS, which is the head, even Christ:
16 FROM WHOM THE WHOLE BODY FITLY FRAMED TOGETHER and compacted by that WHICH EVERY JOINT SUPPLIETH, ACCORDING TO THE EFFECTUAL WORKING IN THE MEASURE OF EVERY PART, maketh increase of the body UNTO THE EDIFYING OF ITSELF IN LOVE.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye HENCEFORTH WALK NOT AS OTHER GENTILES WALK, IN THE VANITY OF THEIR MIND,
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19 WHO BEING PAST FEELING HAVE GIVEN THEMSELVES OVER UNTO LASCIVIOUSNESS, TO WORK ALL UNCLEANNESS WITH GREEDINESS.
TO THE ONES WHO THINK LOVE IS FAILURE, THEY CONFESS THEIR TRUE BELIEF IN WHO CHRIST IS TO THEM, AND OF THEIR GREED FOR REWARDS THEY EXPRESS NON STOP TOO.
2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, BE DILLIGENT THAT YE MAY BE FOUND OF HIM IN PEACE, WITHOUT SPOT, 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 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.
Colossians 3: 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 AFFECTIONS ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON THINGS ON THE EARTH.
3 FOR YE ARE DEAD, and YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST in God.
Romans 6:4 THEREFORE WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even SO WE ALSO SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE.
5 For if we have been PLANTED TOGEGTHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH, we shall BE ALSO IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS RESURRECTION:
6 Knowing this, that our OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, that THE BODY OF SIN might be DESTROYED, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 FOR HE THAT IS DEAD IS FREED FROM SIN.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 FOR IN THAT HE DIED, HE DIED UNTO SIN ONCE: BUT IN THAT HE LIVETH, HE LIVETH UNTO GOD.
11 LIKEWISE� RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
1 Corinthians 7:12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath A WIFE THAT BELIEVETH NOT. AND SHE BE PLEASED TO DWELL WITH HIM, let him not put her away.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 BUT IF THE UNBELIEVING DEPART< LET HIM DEPART< A BROTHER OR A SISTER IS NOT UNDER BONDAGE IN SUCH CASES: but God hath called us to peace.
1 John 2:19 THEY WENT OUT FROM US< BUT THEY WERE NOT OF US< FOR IF THEY HAD BEEN OF US, THEY WOULD NO DOUBT HAVE CONTINUED WITH US: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Micah 7:5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: KEEP THE DOOR OF THY MOUTH FROM HER THAT LIETH IN THY BOSOM.
Micah 7:6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Luke 12:51 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 10:35 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 MANS FOES SHALL BE THEY OUT OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and HE THAT LOVETH SON OR DAUGHTER MORE THAN ME IS NOT WORTHY OF ME.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Genesis 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for BECAUSE THOU HAST DONE THIS THING< AND HAST NOT WITHHELD THY SON< THINE ONLY SON:
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and THY SEED SHALL POSSESS THE GATE OF HIS ENEMY;
18 And in thy seed shall ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED< BECAUSE THOU HAST OBEYED MY VOICE.
1 Corinthians 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 THE LAST ENEMY THAT SHALL BE DESTROYED IS DEATH.
Hebrews 11:17 BY FAITH ABRAHAM< WHEN HE WAS TRIED< OFFERED UP ISAAC< AND HE THAT HAD RECEIVED THE PROMISES OFFERED UP HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,
Luke 14:26 IF ANY MAN COME TO ME AND HATE NOT HIS FATHER< AND MOTHER< AND WIFE< AND CHILDREN< AND BRETHREN< AND SISTERS, yea, and his own life also, HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Psalm 69:7 BECAUSE FOR THY SAKE I HAVE BORN REPROACH; shame hath covered my face.
8 I AM BECOME A STRANGER UNTO MY BRETHREN< AND AN ALIEN UNTO MY MOTHER'S CHILDREN.
John 7:5 FOR NEITHER DID HIS BRETHREN BELIEVE IN HIM.
Luke 21:16 AND YE SHALL BE BETRAYED BOTH BY PARENTS< AND BRETHREN< AND KINSFOLKS, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 AND YE SHALL BE HATED OF ALL MEN FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.
Matthew 24:9 Then shall they DELIVER YOU UP TO BE AFFLICTED, and shall kill you: and YE SHALL BE HATED OF ALL NATIONS FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.
10 And then shall MANY SHALL BE OFFENDED< AND SHALL BETRAY ONE ANOTHER.
Mark 13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; AND CHILDREN SHALL RISE UP AGAINST THEIR PARENTS< AND SHALL CAUSE THEM TO BE PUT TO DEATH.
13 AND YE SHALL BE HATED OF ALL MEN FOR MY NAME'S SAKE: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Psalm 41:9 Yea, MINE OWN FAMILIAR FRIEND< IN WHOM I TRUSTED, which did eat of my bread, hath LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.
Psalm 55:12 For it was NOT AN ENEMY THAT REPROACHED ME; THEN I COULD HAVE BORNE IT: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 BUT IT WAS THOU, a man MINE EQUAL< MY GUIDE, and mine acquaintance.
14 WE TOOK SWEET COUNCEL TOGETHER, and walked unto the house of God in company.
Matthew 26:48 NOW HE THAT BETRAYED HIM GAVE THEM A SIGN, saying, WHOMSOEVER I SHALL KISS, that same is he: hold him fast.
Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL.
THE GIFT OF GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD, NONE DID GOOD OR SOUGHT AFTER GOD, NOW JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE,� THE REMISSION OF SINS THAT ARE PAST, AND CHRIST IS JUST AND THE JUSTIFIER OF HIM THAT BELIEVETH IN JESUS, AND IF WE SAY WE HAVE NOT SINNED WE LIE, SO WE CONFESS THE SINS THAT ARE PAST AND BE JUSTIFIED..
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Pray to be forgiven, and when Christ gave His blood that is the forgiveness. Proof of forgiveness is receiving of the Holy Ghost and proof of repentance. Non converted are told beware of cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares, so pray always to be accounted worthy, for that day has come as a snare to ALL THEM WHO DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH..
Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
So knowing that the whole world has not heard the warning, they can hear to repent and change none of the things warned above, and then just keep confessing your failings instead of knowing FLAMING FIRE VENGEANCE ON THEM THAT KNOW NOT GOD< HEARING THE DECEIVER SAYING TO BOTH OBEY GOD AND TO DISOBEY ALSO< BUT GOD COMES TO BE GLORIFIED IN HIS SAINTS< SO THEY PRAY THIS FOR US< THAT GOD WOULD COUNT YOU WORTHY OF THIS CALLING< FULFILLING ALL THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS GOODNESS< THE WORK OF FAITH NOT WITH LUKEWARM POWER< BUT WITH POWER< BEING GLORIFIED IN CHRIST AND YOU GLORIFIED IN HIM BY GRACE IS HOLINESS..
2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 3:13 TO THE END HE MAY STABLISH YOUR HEARTS UNBLAMABLE IN HOLINESS BEFORE GOD, EVEN OUR FATHER, AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH ALL HIS SAINT.
Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for THE TIME IS AT HAND.
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.
12 AND BEHOLD< I COME QUICKLY< AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME< TO GIVE EVERY MAN ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE.
Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I KNOW THY WORKS< THAT THOU HAST A NAME THAT THOU LIVEST< AND ART DEAD.
2 BE WATCHFUL< AND STRENGTHEN THE THINGS WHICH REMAIN< THAT ARE READY TO DIE: FOR I HAVE NOT FOUND YOUR WORKS PERFECT BEFORE GOD.
3 REMEMBER THEREFORE HOW THOU HAST RECEIVED AND HEARD< AND HOLD FAST< AND REPENT. If therefore THOU SHALT NOT WATCH< I WILL COME ON THEE AS A THIEF< AND THOU SHALT NOT KNOW WHAT HOUR I WILL COME UPON THEE.
4 Thou hast A FEW NAMES even in Sardis which HAVE NOT DEFILED THEIR GARMENTS; AND THEY SHALL WALK WITH ME IN WHITE: FOR THEY ARE WORTHY.
5 HE THAT OVERCOMETH, THE SAME SHALL BE CLOTHED IN WHITE RAIMENT, AND I WILL NOT BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFEe that overcometh, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES.
Revelation 4:11 THOU ART WORTHY, O Lord, TO RECEIVE GLORY AND HONOUR AND POWER: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Revelation 17:13 THESE HAVE ONE MIND, AND SHALL GIVE THEIR POWER AND STRENGTH UNTO THE BEAST.
14 THESE SHALL MAKE WAR WITH THE LAMB, AND THE LAMB SHALL OVERCOME THEM: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: AND THEY THAT ARE WITH HIM ARE CALLED<, AND CHOSEN, AND FAITHFUL.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are PEOPLES, AND MULTITUDES, AND NATIONS, AND TONGUES.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For GOD HATH PUT IN THEIR HEARTS TO FULFILL HIS WILL, and to agree, AND GIVE THEIR KINGDOM UNTO THE BEAST UNTIL THE WORDS OF GOD SHALL BE FULFILLED.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth OVER THE KINGS OF THE EARTH.
1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye ALL SPEAK THE SAME THING, AND THAT THERE BE NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU; but that ye BE PERFECTLY JOINED TOGETHER IN THE SAME MIND AND IN THE SAME JUDGEMENT.
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon HIM WAS CALLED FAITHFUL AND TRUE, AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS HE DOTH JUDGE AND MAKE WAR.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And THE ARMIES which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEAN.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with WHICH HAD DECEIVED THEM THAT HAD RECEIVED THE MARK OF THE BEAST, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 AND ALL THE REMNANT WERE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD OF HIM THAT SAT UPON THE HORSE, WHICH SWORD PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH: AND ALL THE FOWLS WERE FILLED WITH THEIR FLESH.
Isaiah 44:20 He feedeth on ashes: A DECEIVED HEART hath TURNED HIM ASIDE, THAT HE CANNOT DELIVER HIS SOUL, NOR SAY, IS THERE NOT A LIE IN MY RIGHT HAND?
Revelation 13:16 AND HE CAUSETH ALL, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, TO RECEIVE A MARK IN THEIR RIGHT HAND, or in their foreheads:
Matthew 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 THE SON OF MAN SHALL SEND FORTH HIS ANGELS, AND THEY SHALL GATHER OUT OF HIS KINGDOM,(now His Kingdom is from hence) ALL THINGS THAT OFFEND, AND THEM WHICH DO INIQUITY;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: THE ANGELS SHALL COME FORTH, AND SEVER THE WICKED FROM AMONG THE JUST,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be A RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, BOTH OF THE JUST AND UNJUST.
16 AND HEREIN DO I EXERCISE MYSELF, TO HAVE ALWAYS A CONSCIENCE VOID TO OFFENCE TOWARD GOD, AND TOWARD MEN. ( NOT PRAYING FOR FORGIVENESS FOR HIS LACK OF CONSCIENCE IN CHRIST AND OFFENCE TOWARD BOTH GOD AND MAN)
Littledavid calls all the testimony that does not lie heresy, I never said I was perfect or without sin, it is up to God to judge us all, but the accusers have no defence, as for what they call heresy:
Acts 24:14 BUT THIS I CONFESS UNTO THEE, THAT AFTER THE WAY WHICH THEY CALL HERESY, SO WORSHIP I THE GOD OF MY FATHERS, BELIEVING ALL THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN in the law and in the prophets:
1 Corinthians 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (BEING NOT WITHOUT LAW TO GOD, BUT UNDER THE LAW TO CHRIST,) that I might gain them that are without law.
Galatians 6:2 BEAR YE one another's burdens, AND SO FULFILL THE LAW OF CHRIST.
God has not warned about people trying to do all perfectly, God has warned about the OPPOSITE, people against the doctrine of godliness who think you are wrong to give Gods word of HOLINESS..
1 Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for HE THAT HATH SUFFERED IN THE FLESH HATH CEASED FROM SIN;
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4 WHEREIN THEY THINK IT STRANGE THAT YE RUN NOT WITH THEM TO THE SQAME EXCESS OF RIOT, SPEAKING EVIL OF YOU:
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before OF OLD ORDAINED TO THIS CONDEMNATION, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 3: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(NO SELF CONTROL), FIERCE, DESPISERS OF those that are GOOD,
4 TRAITORS, HEADY, HIGHMINDED, LOVERS OF PLEASURES 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.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do THESE ALSO RESIST THE TRUTH: men of CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBATE concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for THEIR FOLLY SHALL BE MANIFEST unto all men, as their's also was.
10 But thou hast fully known MY DOCTRINE, MANNER OF LIFE, PURPOSE, FAITH, LONGSUFFERING, CHARITY, PATIENCE,
11 PERSECUTIONS, AFFLICTIONS, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; WHAT PERSECUTIONS I ENDURED: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and ALL THAT WILL LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
I John 1:6: Whoever claims to live in Him **MUST LIVE AS JESUS DID**!!
John 15:12: Jesus says, "**MY COMMAND** is this: Love each other **AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**!!"
Every born from above saint will try to obey the above two New Covenant commands with all their heart. However, it is obvious that God's saints will fall short of completely obeying the above two commands.
While Adam7777 claims to be sinless and **PERFECT** it is interesting to note that Adam7777 has **SEPARATED** from his wife and therefore has not been a **PERFECT SINLESS HUSBAND** for God's word states in Matthew 19:5,6: Jesus says, "A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they shall become one flesh, they are no longer two, but one flash. Therefore what God has joined together let no man {Like Adam7777} separate!!"
And so if Adam7777's separated wife is a Christian they are both living continually in sin for we are commanded to forgive our brother or sister or wife in Christ not 7 times but 70 times 7 times! And if Adam7777 married an unsaved woman it is also terrible sin in the NT!!
I John 1:8-10: If we claim to be without sin {Like Adam7777}, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned {Like Adam7777} we make Him out to be a liar and His Word is not in us!
Luke 11:1-4: The **DISCIPLES** asked Jesus, "Lord teach as to pray." Jesus replied **TO HIS DISCIPLES**, "When you pray, say: '**FATHER**, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our **DAILY** bread. **FORGIVE US OUR SINS**, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us!'"
James 5:16: **CONFESS YOUR SINS** to each other and pray for each other!!
Psalm 38:18: David said, "I **CONFESS MY SIN**; I am troubled by **MY SIN**!"
Daniel 9:20: Daniel said, "While I was speaking and praying, **CONFESSING MY SIN**!"
Revelation 3:19: Jesus says, "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, so be earnest and **REPENT**!!" {**OF YOUR SINS**!!}
Hebrews 12:5-11: Do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He chastens **EVERYONE** HE ACCEPTS AS A SON**!!! Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His children. For what children are not disciplined by their father {FOR THEIR SINS**}? If you are not disciplined--and everyone undergoes discipline--**THEN YOU ARE NOT LEGITIMATE**, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us{FOR OUR SINS!} and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it!
Since Adam7777 claims that he **NO LONGER SINNED** the moment he was saved; he completely disagrees with the above 3 passages from the inspired Words of God. And since he believes he was completely perfect when he was saved there is no reason for him to want **ETERNAL HEAVENLY REWARDS** for faithful and loving service.
**HOWEVER, GOD'S WORD COMPLETELY DISAGREES WITH HIM**!!
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with His angels and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what they have done!"
Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, �Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your **REWARD** **IN HEAVEN**!�
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
Luke 11:33,34: Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a **TREASURE** IN HEAVEN** that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your **TREASURE** is, there your **HEART** will be also!"
