Tis the Season Part 2

DRING is responsible for more lost souls, more broken homes, murders, suicides, shame, misery … than any other product (drugs are coming on strong) on earth.
IT IS NOT A SICKNESS, IT IS SIN …… SIN SOLD IN A BOTTLE!
Galatians 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Romans 13:12-13 Drunkenness is called the work of darkness and is to be cast off.
1 Corinthians 5:11 Warns the believer to separate himself from professing brothers who …
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Drunkards will not inherit the kingdom.
What am I suggesting …. TOTAL Abstinence! Don’t drink alcohol!
“But I won’t be part of the crowd”. Wouldn’t that be Great! You’d travel in a much nicer crowd.

Leviticus 10:9 Priests were NOT to drink
Numbers 6:3 Nazarites were not to drink

Final thought:
Habakkuk 2:15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!

False Teachers Part 4

John tells what will happen to this false prophet:
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he 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.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

But until we go to be with the Lord, by death or Rapture we do need to be wary of FALSE Teacher, Prophets, and Brethren. These will deny the life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. These prove that HE was/is God.

False Teachers Part 3

Peter also warned the Jews scattered abroad of false prophets and teachers, teaching the law not belief in the name of the Lord Jesus (Acts 4:12):
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.
John in his first epistle also warned of false prophets;
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Also, in his second epistle he warns of deceivers and how to identify them:
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
And he writes how to deal with them:
2 John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
John writing in Revelation about the time of Tribulation tells of Satan and a false prophet (a deceiver):
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Now believers will not have to be concerned with this individual, WE will already be in Heaven as the Rapture has already happened before the Tribulation (7 years of Jacob) began. (See Article on the Rapture).

False Teachers Part 2

As Barnabas and Saul set out on their 1st missionary journey to encourage Jews who had been scattered throughout the Roman kingdom, they encountered a false prophet:
Acts 13:6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
So Saul (Paul) had first hand dealings with false prophets. and later in a letter to Corinth, he spoke of the perils he had among many false brethren:
2 Corinthians 11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, … in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
Paul continued to warn of false prophets, teachers as he wrote his epistles:
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
Galatians 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might…
1 Timothy 1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Paul warns to be wary of vain talkers and deceivers (specially Jews):
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children,not 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;
Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Paul warned of those who were preaching ANOTHER gospel:
2 Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
The true and only Gospel was taught by Paul:
1 Corinthians 15:1-5 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Church(es) Should Preach Part 3

The joyful responsibilities of every true believer in Christ Jesus:
a. TO GOD:
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, …? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
1 Corinthians 4:1-2 This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required …
2 Corinthians 5:19-20 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. Ephesians 3:9…and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
b. TO ONE ANOTHER:
Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
c. TO THE WORLD
Romans 12:17-21
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[a] says the Lord. On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 3:24-25 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures ,
