Born Again Christian Full Gospel

Christian is one who professes belief in Jesus as Christ, one who follows the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus or one who lives according to the doctrines or teachings of Jesus.

One of Jesus teachings to be born again is the baptism in water and the spirit. How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?

John 3:5-6 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

But after the baptism in water, to never thirst, one has to drink the living water Jesus shall give which is a gift of God known as the gospel of Christ.

John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.

Being born in spirit, we must worship God in spirit and in truth.

John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

If they call themselves born again christian, Is there a Christian who is not born again?

Some would pervert the gospel of Christ preaching another gospel disguised as full gospel which is another form of deception.

Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Born again christian full gospel is a not sure sort of doctrine conceptualized by people who are not biblical at all.

Preaching the Gospel unto All Nations

The prophesy that knowledge shall be increased was made known to Prophet Daniel.

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

This is the assurance that gospel can be preached unto all nations.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

It is impossible then at that time can gospel be preached because of limited technology compared to what we have today. With the help of the internet using computers, the gospel when preached can be viewed simultaneously in all the four corners of this earth.

The question is, can anyone fund the simultaneous broadcasting? Knowing for a fact that an hour air time in a well known television channel is very expensive. Not unless there are members who are rich and are willing to share some of their wealth.

This young rich man asked Jesus, what shall he do that he may inherit eternal life?

Mark 10:19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

Mark 10:20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

Mark 10:22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

Mark 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

This question comes to my mind. Why is it that Jesus asked the young rich man in Mark 10:21 to sell his possessions and give it to the poor, take up his cross & follow him instead of saying follow me & we will use your wealth in preaching the gospel?

It is the assurance of Jesus to the young rich man that thou shalt have treasure in heaven, but as a follower of Jesus we have this commandment:

Galatians 6:6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

I am confident, with the help of God, the gospel can be preached unto all nations. The very reason why I give my share although mine was not good enough.

Richest men of the world. Hear ye! Hear ye! Want to become Saints? Be baptized in order for you to share because this congregation do not accept anything from a non member.

3 John 1:7 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.

Who among the billionaires of this world will make the first move to fund the airing of the program and be a partner and fellow helper in preaching the gospel. Is it Bill Gates, the computer man? Will it be Buffet? or Slim chance?

1 Corinthians 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

Lucas 12:21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

This is the commandment for the rich in this world.

1 Timothy 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

1 Timothy 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

The Story of the Rich Man and beggar Lazarus.

Luke 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

Luke 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Luke 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Luke 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

Luke 16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

Luke 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Richest men of this world. Hear ye! Hear ye!

Lord's Supper Not To Eat And To Drink

Remember the Lord's supper?

Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

Matthew 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

This is not the literal breaking of bread or the drinking of the grape wine. For when taken literally you are eating your own supper.

1 Corinthians 11:20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

1 Corinthians 11:21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

1 Corinthians 11:22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

How can eating and drinking can sins be forgiven? If it is not to eat at the Lord's supper, what is it?

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Apostle Paul is not among the apostles of Jesus present in the Lord's supper. He only became an apostle when Jesus was already in heaven.

Not being present at the Lord's supper, Apostle Paul was made partakers, whereof he was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to him, to fulfill the word of God.

Breaking of the bread and eating it symbolizes the teachings or doctrines of Christ received and followed by the partakers.

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Drinking the cup of blood of Jesus symbolizes acceptance of the sufferings and afflictions of Christ.

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;

Colossians 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

When we come together therefore into a worship, we come not to eat at the Lord's supper, but to hear the gospel of Christ.

All churches except one, highlighted more the rituals of eating and drinking than teaching the gospel.

Clearly, As followers of the teachings of Christ, we have sufferings to endure.

Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

The Struggle

Our life is like a game of sports. It usually requires more than one participants competing either in teams or competing as individuals. 

Sports are usually governed by a set of rules or customs which serve to ensure fair competition, and allow consistent adjudication of the winner.

While sports are governed by a set of rules our struggle in life as Christians has written laws to follow which will be the sole basis of judgment in declaring who the winners are.

In Sports, the struggle is between man against another man. In life, the struggle is between the inner man and the outer man.

Rom 7:14-15  For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that I do not; but what I hate, that I do.

It's an struggle between good and evil. The evil being the strongest in the world.

Jn 15:19  If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

But knowing the Gospel of Christ as the basis of judgment at the end of the race, we should strive to stay within the parameters of the Gospel to ensure victory. 

Rom 2:16  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of  men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

1 Jn 1:3  That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 

While it seems that life in this world is a journey wasted in favor of the spirit.

2 Cor 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man is wasted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 

Let us go on with our life unto perfection, knowing that we profit nothing from the flesh.

Jn 6:63  It is the spirit that reviveth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Joy Over One Sinner

One characteristic of an Apostle in preaching the gospel is the taking of nothing from anyone who is not a member of their congregation.

1 John 1:7 because they went forth for His name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

Meaning, they will preach the gospel of Christ for free.

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

I am sure, all of us will surrender all that we have in exchange of a miracle. But the word of God is not for sale.

2 Corinthians 2:17 For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

Remember those religious claimants singing songs of praise using megaphone in the market, streets or inside the bus preaching "the gospel of Christ"? They ask for your money in the name of God.

For Church members, yes, they have an obligation to share.

Galatians 6:6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

Take note of the phrase "taught the word" of God. Except those who act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.

2 Timothy 3:7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

They have attended Bible studies, always, but never learned.

Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

But if you are the wise who understand, this will be your basis for sharing a portion of the money you have earned.

1 Corinthians 16:2 On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.

2 Corinthians 9:7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

What's the money for? When you take nothing from the unbelievers, You will need the money to bring them back.

Luke 15:7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

Prisoner Of The Dark

2 Peter 1:20-21 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

The gospel being sealed, God who commanded light to shine out of darkness will also call us out from darkness to light.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

Who can say that the LORD is the strength of my life, my light and my salvation?

1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

Everyone who does evil things hates the light. They will not come into the light. They are afraid that what they do will be seen.

James 3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

Not until God chose you to be his people, you are a prisoner of the dark.

Spaghetti Monster

The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the deity of the parody religion the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Pastafarianism. Created in 2005 by Oregon State physics graduate Bobby Henderson, it was originally intended as a satirical protest against the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to permit the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in public schools.

After Henderson published the letter on his website, it rapidly became an Internet phenomenon and a symbol for the case against teaching intelligent design in public schools as well as religion in general. Pastafarian beliefs—generally satires of creationism—are presented both on Henderson's website (where he is described as "prophet"), and in The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (written by Henderson and published by Villiard Press in 2006). The central belief is that an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe. The Gospel includes a creation myth, set of commandments, and guide to evangelizing, and discusses history and lifestyle from a Pastafarian perspective.

Eccles 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

The prohibition for making graven images as gods is the second commandment next to having none other gods before Him.

Deut 5:7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

Deut 5:8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

Ex 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things, and introducing, created in 2005, the styrofoam made for thermal insulation and craft applications that resists moisture - the Flying Spaghetti Monster called Pasta Mama Mia.

Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Allegedly, It was created by an intelligent man as a protest against the teachings of intelligent design as an alternative to the intelligent theory of evolution including religion taught in public schools.

1 Cor 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

1 Cor 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right;

Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Jer 3:25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.

O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.

Devil's Nest

There are places which are not allowed by God for all Christians to stay or hang around. 

All locations that patronises bad habits like drinking, gambling, smoking, womanizing and the likes are prohibited in order to have a clean heart with a meek and quiet spirit; having no reason to shame between God or men, which is in the sight of God of great price. 

As we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, we are indeed commanded to abstain from all appearance of evil. 

1 Thess 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Gal 5:19-21  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

The question now is this; Why are we commanded to shy away from those places? And the answer is very simple; the devil knows who are the men with the mark of God.

Acts 19:13  Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them who had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

Acts 19:15  And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

You see, the devil does not even know their peers having the same mark of the devil. Having them know you, frequenting therefore in the nest of the devil may render you outnumbered and may be tempted to commit sins.

Don't follow then the devil, follow Jesus Christ instead.

Jn 10:27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Included in those prohibited places are the place of worship built by men where devils are grouped and nested together.

Mt 23:15 A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you go about land and sea to get one disciple and, having him, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

Except the Lord shall build the house, they labor in vain that build it. The house built by Jesus Christ, as commanded by God the father, is the Church of God.

Ps 127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD shall build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD shall keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain. 

1 Cor 10:32 Give no offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Other than the Church of God, do I have to name names of churches where devils nested and grouped together? Surely, you will know them by their teachings.

1 Tim 6:3-5  If any man teacheth otherwise, and consenteth not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness,  He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

Move away from them, for they are teaching other gospel other than the one preacheth by the apostles and ministers of Jesus Christ.

Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

God Secrets Are Not Known To Angels

I really don't know what an angel looks like for angels are spirits.

Do you know that Angels of God has the power to know all things that pertains to earth?

2 Samuel 14:20 To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.

But, do you know also that God secrets are revealed unto us but not to Angels?

In fact God do not put trust in his angels.

Job 4:18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:

God reveal his secrets & mysteries unto prophets & ministries of Christ who made manifest to his saints.

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

1 Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

He revealed the secrets unto us by his Spirit with the holy ghost sent down from heaven.

1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

This is also the reason why, when the ministers of Christ preached, the angels are listening.

1 Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

Take a look at the word "the angels desire to look into".

If it is the desire of the angels to look into the minister preaching the gospel, to know more of the secrets of GOD, I wonder where my guardian angel is when I am not attending the assembly.

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

I am talking of Ministers revealing the secrets of God as they preached. Not repeating the old secrets once preached but new stunning secrets that will create a desire in me to know more & wait for the next assembly to come.

For when I am not attending the assembly? I was temporarily abandoned by my guardian angel.

The Thief Inside The Church

One living good example of a thief written in the Bible is the story of Judas Iscariot.

John 12:4-6 But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

Members of the Church are taught to share with generosity.

2 Timothy 3:17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Galatians 6:6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

The shared money is called the Holy things or Holy offerings.

As such, when used for personal consumption or sustenance or anything that is not lavish or excessive can make the one using it holy, on the assumption that the user is clean.

Leviticus 22:3 Say to them: ‘Whoever of all your descendants throughout your generations, who goes near the holy things which the children of Israel dedicate to the LORD, while he has uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from My presence: I am the LORD.

Question #1: Is buying a Church airplane holy?

Question #2: Is buying a TV station holy?

Question #3: Is buying a car holy?

Answer: If used for the purpose of preaching the gospel, then yes, it is definitely holy.

To simplify the answer, any action associated with the holy thing of preaching His gospel unto all nations is holy and thus acceptable to all members of the Church.

Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Unholy, are those greedy pastors, ministers, priests who are polluted by the world and uses the Holy thing for their own personal gain.

Loot

Before its a fiery fight. Man against man, kingdom against kingdom, descendants against descendants. Fight between life and death against flesh and blood. The winner will plunder everything including wife, sons & daughters and servants of the loser.

Those who are with the Lord are of great advantage so they are commanded to give to their brethren and to the Levites (the priest at that time) 10% of the loot including the income derived from it.

Josh 22:8 and spoke to them, saying, “Return with much riches to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.”

Even the Levites who received the 10% of the loot will give the 10% of the 10% to the lord.

Neh 10:38 And the priest, the descendant of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive tithes; and the Levites shall bring up a tenth of the tithes to the house of our God, to the rooms of the storehouse.

Now, is the 10% still applicable?

Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.

And this is the new law by our new priest Jesus Christ.

2 Cor 9:7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

For there will be no priest that will again rise because Christ has an unchangeable priesthood.

Heb 7:24 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

How about the fiery fight against flesh and blood, is it still applicable?

Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

We don't struggle physically but to reason and righteousness. Can we fight Satan and his cohorts with deadly weapons like guns or spears? Remember that they are eternal because they are spirits.

Because of this, we should put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground. This is what we all suppose to have as a faithful Christian.

Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

Eph 6:15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Eph 6:16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

Eph 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

And Apostle Paul said.

Eph 6:19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

Eph 6:20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Under Who's Authority

1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

John 7:17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

John 7:18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

The big question is, how do we know that it is from God?

First, the message comes directly from the Father Himself.

Hebrews 1:5 For to which of the angels did He ever say: “ You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”? And again: I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son”?

It is a hidden secret between God and Jesus made known only to Angels when it was revealed.

Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels has He ever said: “ Sit at My right and, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?

Secondly, God secrets are revealed to us through His Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

Lastly, It was revealed to those who preached the gospel by the Holy Spirit.

1 Peter 1:12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into.

Luke 12:3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

Isaiah 58:1 “Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins.

This is a complete opposite of the prayer being done in secret.

Matthew 6:6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

There is no need to shout it loud for our Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

Jeremiah 17:9 “ The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?

Jeremiah 17:10 I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.

I therefore conclude that when I pray in secret, I am under the authority of Jesus who constantly keep secrets with God.

Philippines - A Nation of Servants

“A Nation of Servants” is not a degrading remark but a compliment. It means we are a people who like to serve, to work, and to please, not to offend or abuse others.

HK journalist Tsao did not say we are a nation of slaves. He knew it’s he who is the slave of his own work. Without his servant, he won’t survive. In other words, writer Tsao is what I call “Under the Servant”. There are thousands if not millions of “Under the Servants” the world over.

Protesting about how Filipinos are being portrayed by media (desperate housewife, the UK comedy and Mr Tsao) does not change the fact that Filipino nurses, doctors, teachers leave for greener pastures to work as caregivers or domestic helpers abroad.

We can file charges against this one foreign writer, but at the same time we should also learn to curb our national emotional outburst. Let us, particularly our government, honor these servants who, like Pacman and Charice, are making us proud as Filipinos.

Filipinos are destined to become servants of the Lord anyway. Being scattered all over the world, makes it easy for us Christians, to preach the gospel in all the four corners of this earth.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Mention one country where there are no Filipinos, and I bet, there is none. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Isaiah 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

Isaiah 43:5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

In fact, Philippines is the only Gentile Christians from the rising sun although Japan is called the Land of the Rising Sun but the prophecy speaks of people praying unto the God of Israel not to Buddha. Never was in the history of Japan or other countries in the Far East that the name of the Lord God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was praised among the Gentiles or the heathen in Japan.

Malachi 1:11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.

Incense is not the literal smoke incense used by the Japanese or the Chinese. Incense signifies the prayers of the saints.

Revelation 5:8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

One thing is sure, you can not use your wealth in the day of the Lord's wrath.

Zephaniah 1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

Mr. Chip tsao, sounds like cheap chow, your country may succeed in claiming Spratly Islands, it shall be devoured by fire anyway.

The Spratly Islands are a group of more than 650 reefs, islets, atolls, cays and islands in the South China Sea between the Philippines and Vietnam. They comprise less than five square kilometers of land area, spread over more than 400,000 square kilometers of sea. The Spratlys, as they are called, are part of the three archipelagos of the South China Sea, comprising more than 30,000 islands and reefs and which so complicates geography, governance and economics in that region of Southeast Asia. Such small and remote islands have little economic value in themselves, but are important in establishing international boundaries. There are no native islanders but there are rich fishing grounds and initial surveys indicate the islands may contain significant oil and gas.

About 45 islands are occupied by relatively small numbers of military forces from People's Republic of China, Republic of China, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Brunei has established a fishing zone that overlaps a southern reef but has not made any formal claim.

Unprofitable Servants

A servant of God is one who expresses submission to perform services for free. So that when a servant is accepting a fee for services rendered then he is more of a businessman treating the word of God as a merchandise for sale.

Luke 17:7-10 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

It is therefore a must for all servants of God to preach the gospel for free making this calling to serve as unprofitable.

2 Corinthians 11:7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

Such were the apostles of Christ compared to pastors, priests and preachers of today who are receiving money as payment, call it stipend, allowance, complimentary, accommodation or whatever, it's the same banana.

The Father

Take note that an existing law may be re-affirmed, superseded or changed to a more appropriate law. It is a transition from the law of Moses to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Luke 16:16 “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.

There was an instance in the Bible where the Prophets like Abraham are called Father in the Old Testament. This is one justification used by Catholics why they are called Father.

John 8:53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?”

And Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples and to scribes and the Pharisees saying:

Matthew 23:9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

Above is a good example of a change in law but below was a superseded law.

Deuteronomy 14:8 Also the swine is unclean for you, because it has cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud; you shall not eat their flesh or touch their dead carcasses.

This is the new law.

Matthew 15:16-17 So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding? Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?

Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man.

Acts 11:7-9 And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’ But I said, ‘Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.’ But the voice answered me again from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed you must not call common.’

Now the priests want to justify their position saying.

Let us not concentrate in one aspect only which is the word Father because there are three that must be considered for us to be holistic in our thinking.

1) do not let yourself be called MASTER

2) Do not call anyone on earth your FATHER

3) …nor should you be called TEACHER

Matthew 23:9-11 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

There was no law in the entire Bible especially the new testament that the prohibition of calling anyone a father was superseded.

But for the Master and the Teacher is this;

1 Corinthians 12:28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

As the Scripture said, God has appointed them. Who are we to question it?

As Paul said to his letter to the Corinthians.

1 Corinthians 4:14-15 I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you. For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

This is not like a father and son relationship where when your son begotten a son then you are the grandfather and when the grandson begotten a son then you are the great grandfather. If we are not allowed to call anyone a Father then logically we are all sons of the Father or just brothers. Isn't it that they call Jesus Christ "bro" or brother?

The word "as my beloved children" is just like saying likened to. Although it connotes a father and son relationship but still they don't have the authority to be called father or even used it as a title in their name. Have you read in the entire Bible that the Apostles used Father as a title? In fact Paul was called by Peter beloved brother.

2 Peter 3:15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,

Do Priests have the same authority with God or a higher authority over Jesus Christ and the Apostles?

Hebrews 7:23-24 Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

If they call Jesus Christ as our forever & unchangeable Priest "Bro" then it's a weird doctrine to call themselves "father" or "holy father" or "most holy father" or "reverend father".

A very unstable father. lol

Day of Judgment

A christian evangelist who predicted that the world would end on Saturday is sticking to his guns - despite getting it wrong before.

Harold Camping, the 89-year-old leader of Family Radio Worldwide, claimed Judgment Day would fall on May 21, 2012 after adding up numbers in the Bible.

Mr Camping, who previously said the world would end in 1994, said in January: "Beyond the shadow of a doubt, May 21 will be the date of the Rapture and the day of judgment."

I hope people haven't sold their businesses and given up their day jobs. Right Rev Dr Alan Wilson, Bishop of Buckingham

The retired civil engineer, from California, is a subscriber to the belief that Jesus Christ will return to Earth to gather the faithful into heaven in a moment known as "the Rapture" - signalling the beginning of the end for the Earth.

The coming of our lord Jesus Christ is not yet the end of the world, though dead in Christ shall rise first then we which are alive shall be caught up together with the risen dead.

1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1 Thess 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Remember that not all dead shall rise and not all living shall be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. 

Lk 17:34 I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed; the one will be taken, and the other will be left.

Mt 24:40 Then will two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Mt 24:41  Two women will be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Your may ask then, why is there such first and such remaining? What is the rational of it?

Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

The first resurrected will lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years for they shall be priests of God and of Christ for the remaining lives not caught up. They will preach the gospel free from harm because they have a glorious body which cannot be subdued, killed of beheaded by nations where Christianity is entirely prohibited.

Phil 3:21 Who will change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like to his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself.

And when the gospel of Christ is preached in all nations, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.

Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years have expired, Satan shall be loosed from his prison,

Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Rev 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.

Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Rev 20:15 And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

For Jesus Christ must reign for a thousand years, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 

1 Cor 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

1 Cor 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

What I would want to say about the impudent prediction is that, his guessed is not good enough and surely like the last, it will turn out to be a hoax again.

Mk 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Why not try guessing the month or the year, for it is clearly written, the day and hour are not known to any man, not even to angels in heaven, and to Christ himself.

Avatar

What I know about the battle between good and evil that is to happen on the end times is like that of the movie Avatar where wild beasts are used to conquer enemies. Adding the fact that the book of Revelation speaks of beast having ten horns and seven heads and a leopard with feet like a bear and a mouth of a lion and had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

To be able to stand against all the strategies of the devil aka the beast, we are commanded to put on the whole armor of God.

Ephesians 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Like a gladiator who is ready to face the enemy, we must have the following armaments.

Ephesians 6:14-20 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

It is after all a battle of righteousness by the word of truth not the usual battle we used to know.

Revelation 19:11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

But how can you win a battle when you read word of God on this post and just shrugged it off? It's like saying "who cares" or "what the f@$# you are saying".

Circumcision Of The Heart

Never thought that the gospel was preached to Abraham beforehand.

Galatians 3:8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.

Abraham was circumcised at the age of 99 years old - a covenant between him and God.

Genesis 17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.

Genesis 17:10-11 This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

For he who is keeping the law, it is circumcision and will become uncircumcision when he breaks the law.

Romans 2:25 For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

It's not the cut of a knife that makes a Jew. You become a Jew by who you are.

Romans 2:29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

Abraham is a Gentile and was circumcised of the flesh, and so are we.

2 Corinthians 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

The Man of God

With the sprouting of preachers, pastors and priests calling themselves holy, most holy and reverend, knowing who is who is very hard to distinguish. This was prophesied in the scriptures, warning us "the next generation" before hand.

Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

We have the saying that the fish can be catch by the mouth, the same with preachers, pastors and priests. They are caught by the mouth even without knowing their works in secret.

John 7:18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

Proverbs 26:12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Our basis of faith is written down for us, that our faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. Logically, any rituals or religious customs not written are from man's invention and definitely not from God.

Psalm 102:18 This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.

Hearing great wonders and marvelous things from anyone to strengthen our faith which are not written, that man is speaking of himself, therefore, he is not the man of God.

Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

How Are We Called?

Apostles like Paul are called as ministers of the Church by and only in the power and will of God.

2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:

Ministers are called by God to the Church of God, but how about the members?

Remember that God reveal his secrets and mysteries only unto prophets and ministers of Christ.

But there is no difference between the manner of calling the members of the Church of God today than the previous.

2 Thessalonians 2:14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians 2:15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

The teachings by word of mouth or by epistle is still the same as of today because of the blessed he that readeth and we that heareth.

Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.

For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.

1 Thessalonians 4:8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.

There is also one calling that we should not go back which most of us came from.

Ephesians 2:2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

Ephesians 2:3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

And they are everywhere, looking for new recruits in disguise of holiness. Beware!

Matthew 23:15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

If you are still one of them? I am commanding you now, for the sake of your soul, about face! forward march! then run away from them as past as you can.
