THIS IS NOT A SPORT OR A GAME ANYONE SHOULD PLAY, IT ENDS IN DEATH, IT IS COMING QUICK, GOD WANTS TO REPAY THEM TO THEIR FACE..
Deuteronomy 7:10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, TO DESTROY THEM: HE WILL NOT BE SLACK TO HIM THAT HATETH HIM, HE WILL REPAY HIM TO HIS FACE.
2 Peter 2:13 And SHALL RECEIVE THE REWARD OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, SPORTING THEMSELVES WITH THEIR OWN DECEIVINGS WHILE THEY FEAST WITH YOU;
2 Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, AND THAT CANNOT CEASE FROM SIN; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with COVETEOUS PRACTISES, CURSED CHILDREN:
2 Peter 2:1 But there were FALSE PROPHETS also among the people, even as there shall be FALSE TEACHERS AMONG YOU, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, AND BRING UPON THEMSELVES SWIFT DESTRUCTION.
2 Peter 2:3 And through covetousness shall they WITH FEIGNED WORDS make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, AND THEIR DAMNATION SLUMBERETH NOT .
Christ is not the minister of sin, we seek to be justified by Christ...
Galatians 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
There were no different rules for the disciples of John the baptist, John the baptist had taught his disciples to pray, a prayer that John showed he had need to be baptised of Christ..
Matthew 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Matthew 9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
Jesus taught His disciples to pray, pre- baptism, even the SAME BAPTISM that Christ was baptized of, the Holy Ghost annointing...
Matthew 20:23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
Luke 11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
Then the prayer was to be forgiven of our debts, and to forgive men their debts to us, or our Heavenly Father will not forgive us. He forgives us all of that debt..
Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
NOW we see the DEBT Christ forgave for us, He made His soul the offering for sin, forgiving us all our debts, and the CHASTISEMENT of our peace was upon Him, bruised for our iniquities, not for what He had done. Affliction and chastening is not always for correction of the sins we did, and we follow in His same baptism and same sufferings, even the same cup
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.
Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
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.
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.
Continuing on chastening, the Lord scourges every son He receives, even as Christ was wounded afflicted and bruised with chastisement upon Him, it is not for sin we continue to do, it is to LEARN OBEDIENCE BY WE ALSO SUFFER IN THE SAME SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST..
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 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH.
Hebrews 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, IN BRINGING MANY SONS UNTO GLORY, TO MAKE THE CAPTAIN OF THEIR SALVATION PERFECT THROUGH SUFFERINGS.
11 FOR BOTH HE THAT SANCTIFIETH AND THEY WHO ARE SANCTIFIED ARE ALL ONE: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Same baptism as Christ, same cup, same sufferings, same afflictions and chastenings as the sufferings make us obedient and perfect, and converted after Christ is risen from the dead, as His blood is precious when shed. The sinner needs converting, they confess what they do..
.Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
there are TWO WAYS, one of being converted and one of not being converted, they are hardly the same, as it makes ALL DIFFERENCE..2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, HE IS A NEW CREATURE, OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY, BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW.
Prophetic says confess, lets see what is confessed, we know that the CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE WAS UPON CHRIST, and EVERY SON INCLUDING CHRIST RECEIVED BEGOTTON of the dead..Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, THIS DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEEthis day have I begotten thee? And again, I WILL BE TO HIM A FATHER, AND HE SHALL BE TO ME A SON? 1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is BORN OF GOD SINNETH NOT; BUT HE THAT IS BEGOTTEN OF GOD KEEPETH HIMSELF, AND THAT WICKED ONE TOUCHETH HIM NOT.
TWO WAYS OR WE DISAGREE? To one, God says, He had not found the ways perfect. To othes they were not told to repent, but that they had not defiled their garments, for they are worthy?
Revelation 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy 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.
just read through the Epistles and we do not see one way, we see TWO? To one example to the Corinthians they must after being confirmed be confirmed to the end to be BLAMELESS..
1 Corinthians 1:6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Quickly we see the other way, the way of them failing doing fornication, and the one who does those things has no command to repent, they will corrupt the believers, who are told to cast out that wicked person/persons..
1 Corinthians 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
The Galatians have correction when they have returned to their vomit, to bondage of sin, that way does need repenting of..
Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
The Ephesians here are written how the choosing in Him is to be HOLY WITHOUT BLAME BEFORE HIM IN LOVE, and for the Philippians here to both be BLAMELESS AND HARMLESS THE SONS OF GOD WITHOUT REBUKE, and exhorted by Peter to be found in Him, WITHOUT SPOT AND BLAMELESS..
Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Philippians 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
The proof of all that including the testimony for the Lords Holy Apostles, is not that they are found sinners, that is for the ones to blame to confess their failings, but the Apostles confess as told: They behaved HOLILY AND JUSTLY AND UNBLAMABLY, WALKING WORTHY OF GOD WHO CALLED THEM TO HIS KINGDOM AND GLORY
1 Thessalonians 2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
Christ is able to present you FAULTLESS AND KEEP YOU FROM FALLING AS THAT IS TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS GLORY, AND TESTIFIED, IN THEIR MOUTH WAS FOUND NO GUILE, FOR THEY ARE WITHOUT FAULT BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD..
Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
Revelation 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
LABOUR TO B E ACCEPTED OF HIM, BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU RECEIVED THE GRACE OF GOD IN VAIN, SIMPLE AS THAT, RECEIVING JUDGEMENT FOR THE BAD THAT WAS NOT CEASED. GIVE NO OFFENCE IN ANYTHING, APPROVING YOURSELVES IN THE PATIENCE AFFLICTIONS AND DISTRESSES ABOUNDING AND OVERFLOWING NOT WANTING..Daniel 5:27 Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting...Proverbs 11:1 A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.
2 Corinthians 5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2 Corinthians 6:We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
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.)
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,
Last reproof, there are the promises, now CLEANSE OURSELVES FROM ALL FILTHINESS OF THE FLESH AND SPIRIT IS PERFECTING HOLINESS IN THE FEAR OF GOD. NOT TO BE REPENTED OF, CLEARING OF YOURSELVES WITH FEAR AND ZEAL, APPROVING YOURSELVES. OTHERWISE THEY FEAR, YOU IN DEBATES AND ENVY AND STRIFE AND THEN YOU NEVER REPENTED OF THE UNCLEANNESS AND LASCIVIOUSNESS AND FORNICATION THEY DID..
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
2 Corinthians 12:20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
ARM WITH THAT MIND OF CHRIST, SUFFER IN THE FLESH MEANS YOU CEASE PLEASURE IN FLESH AND CEASE SIN, NOW TO THE WILL OF GOD..
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.
WHEN SERVANTS OF SIN FREE FROM ANY ACT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, NOW EXPECTED TO BE ASHAMED, NOT UNASHAMED AND NEVER CEASING THEM, AS NOW MADE FREE FROM SIN, FOR THE WAGES OF SIN AR DEATH, AND JUST AS YOU CANNOT CONFESS ANY RIGHTEOUSNESS YOU DID BEFORE FAITH IN CHRIST YOU ALSO LIKEWISE CANNOT CONFESS ANY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IF YOU ARE IN HIM..
Romans 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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!'"
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man shall live by **EVERY WORD** that comes from the mouth of God!"
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!"
LittleDavid says prophetic is correct in his doctrine, BUT, prophetic confesses no sins, answers nothing, is not approachable, just a cymbal clanging away,1 Corinthians 13:Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
So too is LittleDavid not confessing his sins, but says we are told to do this, but does not do it? All talk and deception, because they cannot confess and continue doing what God testifies we will be ashamed of..
Romans 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
"Paul discusses this battle between the Christian and his indwelling sin in Romans 7. "
Now this deceiver mentions a scripture, which is his mistake, as now he will be reminded of Romans 7 AND Romans 8 TOGETHER.
WE WERE IN THE FLESH(SPEAKING OF OUR PAST TENSE) BRINGING FRUIT TO DEATH, BUT NOW(NOW IT IS PRESENT TENSE CHANGED BY THE SPIRIT) SERVING IN NEWNESS OF SPIRIT(NOT IN OLDNESS ANY MORE THIS IS THE NEW TIME AND CHANGE)...
Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Paul continues of the PAST. PAUL WAS ALIVE WITHOUT THE LAW AND THE COMMANDMENT CAME TO SIN NOT, AND HE DIED, AS PAUL IS SPEAKING ABOUT US ALL DYING IN SINS. THE COMMANDMENT TO SIN NOT GAVE DEATH TO US ALL AS WE COULD NOT OBEY IT IN THE FIRST COVENANT. BUT THE LAW IS HOLY AND GOOD. UNABLE TO OBEY THE COMMAND TO SIN NOT AND LOVE OUR NEIGHBOUR, CAUSING DEATH FOR DISOBEDIENCE BY THE GOOD LAW OF GOD, AS THE LAW IS SPIRITUAL BUT MAN IS CARNAL. WE WOULD OBEY GOD BUT CANT FIND THE STRENGTH TO DO IT, (THE JEWS ARE EXAMPLE OF THIS STILL IN ORIGINAL FIRST COVENANT TODAY) WE WOULD RATHER NOT DO THE SINS IN THAT FIRST COVENANT CONSENTING THAT IT IS A GOOD JUST LAW, SIN DWELLING IN US INSTEAD OF THE NEW COVENANT OF GOD DWELLING IN US BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND HOW TO PERFORM WE FOUND NOT, DOING EVIL THAT WE WANT TO NOT DO, BRINGING US TO CAPTIVITY TO THE LAW OF SIN IN THE MEMBERS BELONGING TO THAT FIRST FAULTY COVENANT. WRETCHED AND NEEDING TO BE DELIVERED FROM THAT BODY OF DEATH?
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
PRESENT TENSE, THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION, AS BEFORE THERE IS CONDEMNATION, IN CHRIST JESUS WE WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, NOW FREE FROM THAT LAW OF SIN AND DEATH, WE WERE WEAK THROUGH THE FLESH, AND CHRIST CONDEMNED SIN IN THE FLESH, AND NOW THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW OF CHRIST IS FULFILLED N US, (Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.) SOME ARE AFTER THE FLESH AND THEY DO ALL WAYS OF THE FLESH AND OTHERS ARE AFTER THE SPIRIT AND THEY DO THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT, EACH OBEYS WITHOUT STRUGGLE TO THEIR MASTERS, SIN OR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH, WHICH NEVER CAN OBEY THE LAW OF GOD, THOSE NOT SPIRIT CANNOT PLEASE GOD OBEYING HIS RIGHT WAYS, AND IF CHRIST IS IN YOU, YOUR BODY IS DEAD BECAUSE OF SIN, FOR IF YOU LIVE AFTER THE FLESH YOU SHALL DIE, AS EXPLAINED ALREADY IN ROMANS 7, OR THROUGH THE SPIRIT DO MORTIFY(MAKE DEAD ND FINISHED) THE DEEDS OF YOUR BODY..
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 AND IF CHRIST IS IN YOU, THE BODY IS DEAD BECAUSE OF SIN; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
IN CORRECT ORDER IS ROMANS 6 FIRST, EXPLAINING AS ALL SAYS, YE YIELDED COMPLETELY YOUR BODY TO ONLY UNCLEANNESS AND INIQUITY, NOW YOU CHANGED COMPLETELY TO YIELD THEM TO RIGHTEOUSNESS TO HOLINESS. WHEN SERVING SIN IN THE FIRST COVENANT YOU HAVE ZERO RIGHTEOUSNESS. NO FRUIT AT ALL AND NOW ASHAMED NOW CONFESSING AND NEVER ENDING THE EVIL. NOW CHRIST MAKES US FREE FROM THAT SIN TO SERVE GOD AND INSTEAD OF EVIL FRUIT IT IS FRUIT FIT FOR GOD(A GOOD TREE CANT HAVE EVIL FRUIT AND AN EVIL TREE CANT HAVE GOOD FRUIT) ...
Romans 6:16 KNOW YE NOT THAT TO WHOM YE YIELD YOURSELVES SERVANTS TO OBEY, HIS SERVANTS YE ARE TO WHOM YE OBEY; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 FOR WHEN YE WERE THE SERVANTS OF SIN, YE WERE FREE FROM RIGHTEOUSNESS.
21 WHAT FRUIT HAD YE THEN IN THOSE THINGS WHEREOF YE ARE NOW ASHAMED??????????????????? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, WHOSOEVER COMMITETH SIN IS THE SERVANT OF SIN.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 IF THE SON THEREFORE SHALL MAKE YOU FREE, YE SHALL BE FREE INDEED.
Matthew 6:24 NO MAN CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS: FOR EITHER HE WILL HOLD TO THE ONE AND HATE THE OTHER, OR ELSE HE WILL HOLD TO THE ONE, AND DESPISE THE OTHER. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
WALK IN THE SPIRIT TO NOT STRUGGLE IN THE FLESH WHEN UNABLE TO DO THE THINGS WE WOULD BEING CARNAL IN THE FIRST COVENANT CURSED IS HE WHO CONTINUES NOT IN ALL THE WORDS OF THE LAW TO DO THEM. WE CANNOT DO THE THINGS WE WOULD, AS FLESH AND SPIRIT ARE CONTRARY TO EACH OTHER, WE CAN ONLY BE AND SERVE ONE, THEY WHO DO THOSE WORKS OF THE FLESH WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BUT TEMPERANCE LONGSUFFERING AND LOVE BREAKS NO LAW AND THEY WHO ARE CHRISTS HAVE CRUCIFIED THEIR BODY FLESH WITH ALL AND NY AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS..
Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Dear children walk in love, uncleanness fornication covetousness is not named once among saints, as those men have no inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ, deceivers try to insist they do, but the church is sanctified and cleansed, by the Holy word, and only presented to Christ in glory without spot or blemish but is HOLY..
Ephesians 5:Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for BECAUSE OF THESE THINGS COMETH THE WRATH OF GOD UPON THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE.
Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY AND WITHOUT BLEMISH.
2 Peter 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. SPOTS THEY ARE AND BLEMISHES, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14 Having eyes full of adultery, AND THAT CANNOT CEASE FROM SIN; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
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.
1 Timothy 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to THE DOCTRINE WHICH IS ACCORDING TO GODLINESS;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself.
COVERING OUR SINS IS NOT HAVING THEM CLEANED, FORSAKING THEM IS BEING HEALED, UNLESS IT IS NOT TOLD TO BE PRESENTED FAULTLESS BEFORE THE THRONE OF CHRIST..
Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: BUT WHOSO CONFESSETH AND FORSAKETH THEM SHALL HAVE MERCY.
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.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and TO PRESENT YOU FAULTLESS BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF HIS GLORY with exceeding joy,
Revelation 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: FOR THEY ARE WITHOUT FAULT BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD.
