i know i've been
talking a
lot about not
to sin, but lets take a different
look at it, if a person does not sin, than that would make him a
perfect
person. What does the Bible say about that. How many times do we hear
from this generation "ONLY Jesus is Perfect, we can't be" Yet
Scriptures plainly teaches that we can be. Leave it to the Nicolaitans
to teach we can't be, even though Scriptures teach we can be.
- James
3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any
man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to
bridle
the whole body. So it is possible, difficult but possible.
There are verses in the Bible that
tells
us to be perfect and Holy. There
are verses which tell us to walk as Jesus Christ Himself walked. Didn't
He
walk sinless?
- Matthew
5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your
Father which is in heaven is perfect. ( Just as God is
perfect )
- Levitucus
11:45 For I am the Lord that bringeth you
up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; ye shall therefore be
holy,
for I am Holy.
- I
John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought
himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
- Colosians
2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ
Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him:
- I
Thessalonians 2:12 That ye would walk worthy of
God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
- Colosians
1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the
Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and
increasing
in the knowledge of God;
Here are some more versus
telling us to
become perfect.
- I
John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily
is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
- Matthew
19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be
perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou
shalt
have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
How many people
will do
this? With this evil
and wicked generation i wouldn't think even one would.
- Philippians
3;15 Let us therefore, as many as be
perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded,
God
shall reveal even this unto you.
-
II
Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell.
Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the
God
of love and peace shall be with you.
-
II
Corinthians 13:8 For we can do nothing against
the truth, but for the truth. 9: For we are glad, when we are weak, and
ye
are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
- I
Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify
you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be
preserved
blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Philippians
2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless,
the sons of God, without fault, in the midst of a crooked and perverse
nation,
among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
If
you knowingly and willingly sin, then you have fault. You knowingly and
willingly obey the enemy of your Savior Jesus Christ. Do you shine as
lights
in this world? If you knowingly and willingly sin, you are no different
than
anyone else.
- Peter
5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called
us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered
a
while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
- James
1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall
into divers temptations; 3: Knowing this, that the trying of your faith
worketh
patience. 4: But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be
perfect
and entire, wanting nothing.
People you do not have to
become perfect
over night. You have to work at
it. And it's a slow process, testing your patience, Continually try to
make
yourself a Godly person, For instance; If you smoke, curse, and think
lustful
thoughts, take one of them and work on it, ask Jesus to help you and He
will.
After you get rid of one, work on another. And before you know it, you
will
be ready to become a true servant to our Lord Jesus Christ. Notice what is written: - Heb_12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Notice it did not say sins but said the sin, singular. Take one sin get
rid of it out of your life, then take another sin that so easily besets
you and get rid of it out of your life, then so on.
But one
thing
i do warn you, there is not much time left before Christ will come and
take
those who are True Christians. So start now.
- II
Peter 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give
diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these
things,
ye shall never fall:
- Proverbs
3:21-23 My son, let not them depart from
thine eyes;, keep sound wisdom and discretion, then shalt thou walk in
thy
way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
- Proverbs
12:21 There shall no evil happen to the
just; but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
- Proverbs
11:8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble,
and the wicked cometh in his stead.
- Psalms
55:22 Cast thy burdens upon the Lord, and
He shall sustain thee; lest the righteous put their hands unto iniquity
(sin).
- Mat_6:13 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.
So you can see, if you become
righteous
and truly Saved, God will protect
you from satan, He will deliver you out of troubles and you will never
(
NEVER ) stumble. But if you continue to knowingly and willingly sin,
then
God will put a stumbling block in front of you and you will stumble.
- Ezekiel
3:20 Again, when a righteous man does turn
from his righteousness, and commit sin and I lay a stumbling block
before
him, he shall die;.....
- James
2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law
(BIBLE), and yet
offend in one point, he is guilty of all. Do you obey the
whole law,
or just part of it?
- Psalms
125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest
upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put their hands unto
iniquity
(sin)
If you truly become Saved and
righteous
you will be joyous knowing that you
are truly serving the Lord your God. You will be happy knowing that
your
going to Heaven, because of your obedience to the Word of God. You will
have
gifts from the Holy Ghost, You will be able to help people that are in
need
or sick, or crippled, or in need of Spiritual guidance. You will be able to move mountains. You will
shine
as a light in this evil and corrupt world.
- Philippians
2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless,
the sons of God, without fault, in the midst of a crooked and perverse
generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Are
you without
fault? Do you shine?
- Ephesians
5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but
now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (
If i knowingly
and willingly commit a sin, is that not darkness? For how can i
knowingly
and willingly sin, and say I'm in the light of the Lord? Is this not
blaspheme?
i think it is. Even as a Nicolaitan says "Jesus is my Master and Lord" yet they willingly obey satan.)
- Matthew
5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that
they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in
heaven.
If you knowingly and
willingly sin you
are not children of God, but children
of satan.
- I
John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil;.......
This is why Jesus came down to get rid of sin once and
for
all.
If you continue to sin, you
are no
different than most people on this corrupt
planet. But if you obey the Word of God (Bible) and don't knowingly and
willingly
sin, than you are truly born of God and Saved and not of this world,
and a very few will find and take that narrow and difficult path that
will lead to Life Everlasting in Heaven.
Have you ever wondered why
there are so
many sick people with health problems
and why hasn't God heard their prayers? I'm not talking about
unbelievers,
but those who claim to be Christians.
- I
Corinthians 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat
this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, UNWORTHILY, shall be guilty
of
the body and blood of the Lord. 28: But let a man examine himself, and
so
let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29: For he that
eateth
and drinketh UNWORTHILY, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not
discerning
the Lord's body. 30: For this cause many are weak and sickly among you,
and
many sleep (Die).
i ask you, How can a person
who loves
to sin be
worthy of the body and blood of Christ? How can a person who knowingly
and
willingly commits sins be worthy of the body and blood of Christ? i
tell
you it is impossible.
- II
Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned
who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness (sin).
- Galations
3:10 For as many as are of the works of
the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one
that
continueth not in ALL things which are written in the book of the law
(BIBLE) to do them.
- Romans
2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul
of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
(Every soul of man, that's you too)
- Romans
2:13 (For not the hearers of the law
(BIBLE) are just
before God, but the doers of
the law shall be justified. (Nicolaitans teach you don't have to DO anything, don't they?)
So
you typical Christians (Nicolaitans) which are hypocrites that continue
to knowingly and willingly sin, i pray for you, So you might be able to
see
and hear the truth. Cease from your wicked ways and repent, lest satan
sets
a trap for you, and you die. i tell you this because i love you and do
not
want you to go to Hell. But if your not willing to give up your sins
for
Jesus Christ than you have made up your mind already to what path you
will
take. There are two (2) path's: 1) The difficult path and 2) The easy
path
(*).
And i will tell you, it is
easy to continue to sin and think you are Heaven bound, and it is
difficult
to give up those things that are sinful, and obey the Word of God. It's
your
choice.
Do not go running to your
preacher to
find out what i say is true or not. For
he is but a man. But instead go directly to the source, which is the
Word
of God, and you yourself seek the truth. God made the Bible easy to
understand,
it is not difficult to understand His word. Most of the Disciples were
unlearned
men (Not schooled). If the Bible is confusing to you, than it is
because
you are trying to put your own personal meanings to the verse. DON'T.
If it is confusing to you, then you are not reading it enough. What
it says is what it means, its that easy and that simple. Now, when
Jesus Christ clearly
stated
"this is a parable", then try to figure out the meaning of the parable,
otherwise
what it says is what it means. Understanding prophecies are another
thing that must be given to a person by God. He will reveal to whom He
will reveal.
Do not Preachers preach from
the Bible?
Are you not just as capable of reading
the Word of God as they are? i think yes you are. Preachers go to
college
and learn from a professor (a man) his interpretation of the Bible. But i will tell you
the
truth the Holy Ghost can teach a person in 5 minutes what they have
learned in college for years.
I'm not saying that all
preachers are
bad. If they live by every word of
the Bible and do not knowingly and willingly sin than i think they are
good.
But If they preach the Gospel yet continue to knowingly and willingly
sin,
i think they are bad. Which i can accurately say most preachers are
bad.
- I
Corinthians 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained
that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
Maybe this is why they only preach
parts
of the Gospel, the parts which they
do. Preachers do a good job of praising Jesus, and making the
congregation
feel good about themselves and every body leaves feeling spiritual
and
good. They more or less tell people what they want to hear, because if
they
preached the truth they would lose their congregation, then what would
they
do for money to pay for the bills of the Church. The GAME is to get as much people into the congregation
as
possible so they will have more funds to build a bigger and better
church,
or add on a room or buy a church bus or church office equipment or
claim
that getting more people will get more money to help more people. so
lets
not teach the entire Truth so we can make more money. let us not say
things
to cause people to leave and never come back, but instead teach things
that
is pleasant to the ears and keep our congregation so we can have more
money
to help more people. They have made the church a business, and not a
place
of worship. It would totally shock me if i were to enter into a church
and
they were giving out quit smoking patches, This is helping the people
and
building the church. But they say what the people want to hear, when
they
should be reproving, rebuking, and exhorting people that they should
abstain
from sin. But I've not seen this yet.
So go to the Word of God
yourself, don't
go to a person. Ask God to help
you understand His Word, and He will help you. Before He helps you, He
may
test you, and see just how determined you are to learn the Word of God,
thus
you might have to read it several times before He will help you
understand it.
i know, i read the entire Bible front to back 3 times and was on the fourth time
before
God gave me the gift of understanding the Word of God, From that point
on,
It was easy to understand. So don't give up to easily, because you think
it is to hard to understand. Do not trust a man how to tell you to get to Heaven,
Go
and find out for yourself. If you are going to go on a vacation, are
you
going to get directions from a person who has never been there or are
you
going to get directions from a map. He that has ears, let him hear.
And concerning the word
"Perfect" many Nicolaitans will try to convince you
the word means or interprets to mean "Mature". They do this so they do
not have to actually become PERFECT as the Word of God instructs us to
be. You see if you change the word "Perfect" to mean "mature" then you
don't have to become PERFECT. Do you see how this generation ADDS*
to
the Word of God to change it to mean what they want it to mean, instead
of merely believing the Word of God as it is written? (no wander, many
are sickly today). You can take the word Perfect to the Hebrew or Greek
and neither one translates the word to mean "Mature" Those who do not
want to be PERFECT are those who say the word means "Mature"
Nicolaitans they are.
