Nothing New Under the Sun…


When you read the Old Testament prophets…for learning exercise…pretend each time the words false prophets is used…it says false Christians…those they pretend they are right with God and are not…like I read the book of Jerimiah and replaced the word in false prophet with false Christian…it changed my world view on religion…as in if they are not saved then why listen at all? If they do not teach baptism for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38-39) then their opinion does not matter…listen…


Lev 19:21, ye shall not swear by name falsely neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord

Psalm 119:104, through thy precepts I get understanding therefore I hate every evil way

Jer 14:14, then the Lord said unto me, the prophets prophesy lies in my name I sent them not neither have I commanded them neither have I spoke to them they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination and a thing of naught and the deceit of their heart.

Jer 23:32, behold I am against them that prophesy false dreams says the Lord and do tell them and cause my people to err by their lies and by their lightness, yet I sent them not nor commanded them therefore they shall not profit these people at all says the Lord

Jer 29:9, for they prophesy falsely unto you in my name I have not sent them says the Lord


What does it mean to bear false witness?

How many people are thinking they have a revelation from Jesus Christ and are listening to doctrines of demons and or a seducing spirit? In the Old Testament, there were people who claimed that the Lord had revealed a message, a dream, or a revelation and told that vision saying the Lord revealed it to them. However, the Lord did not do it and it was a false hood.


Jud 1:3-10 KJV Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (bad lusts), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.


There is nothing new under the sun, and in today’s times we are told many will do the same. How many so called Christians are teaching a doctrine of devils for salvation calling it the Lord’s will? How many are teaching lip service through a sinner’s prayer and deceiving many? How many are denying the Lord’s will and calling Him a liar by this doctrine of demon?

Jesus said in John 3:5, except a man be born of the water and the spirit he CANNOT enter the kingdom of God. Jesus said, Mark 16:16 he that believes and is baptized shall be saved but he that believes not will be damned. These people that say, you are saved by offering lip service to their false Christ, through the sinner’s prayer are nothing more than that which is spoken of by our Lord, false prophets deceiving many.


Jesus Said… Mar 16:15-16 KJV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned…if you teach or know someone that teaches you do not have to be baptized for salvation…then they are denying the real Lord Jesus and calling Him a liar saying you do not have to be baptized. If you teach otherwise then you will burn in hell forever unless you repent and teach the Truth.


How many so called members of the church are teaching their imaginations and saying this God’s will?

How many people are handing out secret knowledge revealed to them by their imagination or other form of knowledge? God sent a Holy angel to Mary to reveal His will for her…He did not speak directly to her and she was picked to raise our Lord. God did not whisper in her ear, or send a voice on the wind, many people today are starving for the lack of the truth revealed from God’s word. We do not need to hear secret knowledge that reveals anything to us, we need to only remember the words of the New Testament that is bound and sealed in heaven and earth and will never change until the Lord returns to punish the wicked and reward the faithful few. You cannot say Jesus of Nazareth unless you are right with Him…try and see your false gods cannot give you this power…


Father we pray you would grant us repentance and we renounce any lie we have believed or told…please reveal the Truth to us so we can reconcile with You and Your only Human Fathered Son, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Nothing New Under the Sun…

Want a word from Heaven…


Perhaps you should ask John...in Heaven...or Peter...in Heaven…since you will not obey the Truth and ask Jesus of Nazareth...


Listen about John an Apostle of Jesus…Rev 1:9 KJV I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ...John the Apostle of Jesus is our fellow companion in the tribulation and kingdom of God...


Listen about Peter an Apostle of Jesus...2Pe 1:14-15 KJV Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavor that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance...

Peter will help us remember even after his departure on earth...and He has the power to change the word of God…He was given this promise by Jesus Christ alone…Mat 16:13-19 KJV When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that You art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say you that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona (son of Jona): for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That you art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever you (Peter…the first of my apostles to believe) shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven: and whatsoever you shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.


There is the Living Jesus of Nazareth...Joh 8:31-32 KJV Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, if ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free...Do you want to know the Truth…yes or no?


Then there is this instruction...for those told twice in efforts of converting them to the Truth…Tit 3:9-11 KJV But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sins, being condemned of himself...

Are you a heretick…yes or no?


Mat 16:24-28 KJV Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross (his burden to be a Christian), and follow Me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom…Jesus later after His resurrection was in the Kingdom and appeared to them…and some were alive…and Jesus was in the Kingdom of God.


Listen to what is written and ask Jesus of Nazareth to confirm this truth to you…

Mar 16:14-20 ASV And afterward He (Jesus) was manifested (revealed) unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and He (Jesus) upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen Him after He was risen. 15 And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel (good news) to the whole creation. 16 He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves (rejects the good news of Jesus work of redemption and salvation) shall be condemned. 17 And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in My name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues (languages); 18 they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken unto them, was received up into Heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.


Father please reveal the Truth to us so we can repent and reconcile with You in Jesus of Nazareth name amen.

Want a Truth from Heaven…

Have you ever been tricked by a false Christian…I have…listen to what God has said…thus it is written…


Jesus said…Matt 7:15, beware of false prophets (false Christians) which come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves…and many false prophets (false Christians) shall rise and shall deceive many Matt 24:11


Even our God and Lord said there were going to people that even pretended to be Him…and there would be people who say Jesus told me or God told me…but do not even know the real Jesus of Nazareth…listen to what the real Jesus Christ of Nazareth said…


Matt 24:24, for there shall arise false Christs (counterfeit Jesus) and false prophets (false Christians) and shall show great signs and wonders insomuch if it were possible to deceive the very elect…and the Holy Spirit spoke through a Holy Apostle…for such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves unto the apostles of Christ and no marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light 2 Cor 11:13-14.


Jesus Christ says…people will pretend to be Him without Him and people would pretend to be an apostle…you cannot even trust an angel telling you anything because the first liar satan can appear as a Holy Angel…satan can imitate a Holy Angel to deceive you…and there are people who pretend to be an Apostle of Jesus…who are not…Listen to some more about false Christians…so do not trust your elders…deacons…or the preacher….but only the Shepherd for your Soul…Jesus of Nazareth who died and was raised so you would never have to choose a wrong thing again and will forgive all your wrongs and teach or reveal the Truth to you and all you have to do is what is right with your Creator God…Jesus is the only qualified soul to redeem you from the punishment of your evil deeds…Who said He would save you…Jesus the Christ from Nazareth…is the Good Shepherd…


Gal 2:4, and that because of false brethren (false Christians) unawares brought in who came in privately to spy out our liberty in Christ Jesus that they might bring us into bondage…but there were false prophets among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you who privately shall bring in damnable heresies (doctrines) even denying the Lord that bought them and bring upon themselves swift destruction…2 Pet 2:1.


Through inspiration of the Holy Spirit…recorded for us to learn and do…we are instructed there will be in our congregations…people who are not Christians who have a position to speak or teach and do not teach the Truth…workers of satan appearing as ministers of right and even pretending to be an apostle…or even Jesus or God His Father and we heard of the subtle method of satan being the subtle first liar…he said God’s word but added 1 little word to what God had said to make his lie subtle or barely noticeable…adding not…as in you shall surely not die…one little word of his own imagination…his own will…and disobedience or a lie (a false reality) was believed and Adam and Eve fell…


1 John 4:1, beloved believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God because many false prophets (false Christians) are gone out into the world… prove all things; hold fast that which is good; 22 abstain from every form of evil. 23 And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is He that calls you, who will also do it. 1Th 5:21-24 ASV


The best a man can do when tricked or having believed a lie or drawn the wrong conclusion…or made the wrong decision…is to change and do what is right when he realizes he was lied to or believed a false Christian…a false Jesus…or even a false prophet…or participated in a lie…we are not obligated to keep our word based on a lie we believed or told…we must obey Jesus words when the Truth is revealed then if we are able…keep our word so we will not continue to be liars…if our word will not glorify Jesus then we must confess I believed a lie and this is now what I can do to make it right because I belong to Jesus of Nazareth…and have learned the Truth…take it up with Him…


1Jn 4:1-4 ASV Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already. 4 You are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.


How many religions claim to have God and do not even confess that there was a real Jesus? The hindu’s…muslims…jews today…buddhas…philosophers…teachers…those who call on the dead or believe ancestors will help from the dead…if your religion does not affirm that Jesus Christ of Nazareth died on a cross (came in the flesh) and was raised from the dead (still in the flesh) then you are of the spirit of the antichrist and will burn in hell…and we know the antichrist or the false prophet…the second beast…the first beast…all get their power from satan…found written in John’s Revelation…


Listen to a person once deceived called Saul of Tarsus who became the Apostle Paul…as a deceived Jew he used to cause Christians to be murdered…this is what was told him when struck blind by Jesus of Nazareth…Act 26:15-18 ASV And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecute. 16 But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things wherein thou hast seen Me, and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee; 17 delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee, 18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in Me.


Are you like me…having been lied to by what could have been Holy…are you like Saul who became Paul…thought you were obeying God to find out the truth God had One Human Son whom you must now obey…are you pretending to be a Christian…do you believe Jesus Christ of Nazareth came in the flesh being born of a virgin so that no human could say they were His Father…and Jesus being The Only Son of God…was raised from the dead to prove He can offer forgiveness and eternal life to all who trust in His work of salvation…He lived under the written Law of Moses…the Holy Prophets…being born of the virgin Mary in the tribe of Judah…had only to meet the minimum requirements of keeping the Ten Commandments…and Jesus being the Christ…the Only Human Son of God…the only soul qualified…the Christ the Anointed…who willing offered Himself to be punished as if He broke all Ten of the Commandments…even though Jesus had never broken or violated any of the commandments of God…so He as it is written of Him…though He was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which He suffered; 9 and having been made perfect, He became unto all them that obey Him the Author of eternal salvation Heb 5:8-9 ASV


Have you asked the Author of Salvation to Author you a plan of forgiveness…reconciliation…salvation with God…do you believe Jesus of Nazareth died and was raised from the dead to offer this good news to you…you never have to do a wrong thing again and He will forgive you of your past wrongs or evil deeds…then Jesus will reveal the Truth to you so all you have to do is what is right with your Holy Creator…The Great I Am of All that Is…yes or no?


Listen to what is written and ask Jesus of Nazareth to confirm this truth to you…

Mar 16:14-20 ASV And afterward He (Jesus) was manifested (revealed) unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and He (Jesus) upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen Him after He was risen. 15 And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel (good news) to the whole creation. 16 He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves (rejects the good news of Jesus work of redemption and salvation) shall be condemned. 17 And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in My name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues (languages); 18 they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.


Father we renounce anything not Holy…and ask You to confirm these truths to us by opening our eyes, that we may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto You the Great I am of all that Is…The Holy Creator…so we may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faithful obedience in Jesus of Nazareth Your only Son…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
