10 Commandments Abolished for Righteousness!

Evidence that the Ten Commandments have been Abolished author unknown When referring to the law of commandments, the verses below use the same word for “Abolished”. Sabbatarians (those who strictly observe Saturday as the Sabbath, such as Seventh Day Adventists and other judaizers) say the latter verse is referring to the ceremonial law. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; Ephesians 2:15 The “commandments contained in ordinances" refers specifically to the Ten Commandments. Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? or the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she [more]

Bill Johnson - False Teacher

Of this obvious wolf, Bill Johnson, Stephen Michels writes: "BLASPHEMY! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on ANY soul who says that they are a follower of Jesus and submits to this DIABOLICAL BLASPHEMY!  Any of you that do, SHAME ON YOU!  YOU ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE AND WILL STAND TO BE JUDGED BY THE HOLY ONE, THE VERY ONE THAT YOU BLASPHEME! THROW YOURSELF DOWN ON THE GROUND AND REPENT NOW!" by Paul Bortolazzo Yesterday, I was rebuked by several Christians for exposing the false doctrine being taught by Pastor Bill Johnson of Bethel Church. This minister teaches the heresy Jesus became an unholy sinner on the cross by accepting the nature of Satan, died spiritually, suffered in hell for three days for our sins, and had to be born again when He resurrected from the dead. Tragically such blasphemy doesn't faze these rebuking me for exposing this heretic who is an enemy of the cross. Why? Come to found out these believers support signs and wonder guru David Hogan who preaches often at Bethel Church. [more]

Can and Will God Use You?

Friends,  if this doesn't encourage you, I don't know what will! "Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sara was impatient, Elijah was moody, Moses stuttered, Zaccheus was short, Abraham was old,… and Lazarus was dead.... Now, what's YOUR excuse? Can God use you or not? God doesn't CALL the QUALIFIED, He QUALIFIES the CALLED." All have sinned and we all must reap what we have sown (Romans 3:23; Galatians 6:7-8). Yet, when we repent, returning to our LORD on HIS terms, submitting our lives to Him afresh, He will do a work in us (James 4:6-10). Paul wrote "But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of [more]

Pastors According to Mine Heart

"Feed the Flock of God" 1 Peter 5:2 "And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3:15 Do we have a heart after the LORD? Are we filled with tender mercies and loving kindness toward His people and the lost who He came “to seek and to save”? (Luke 19:10) As we read in the passage below, Jesus was slandered by the religious devils of His day, but that didn’t phase Him. He kept marching – reaching out in compassion to and feeding those scattered abroad without a shepherd. "But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. 35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having [more]

Penknife Sacrilege

Butchering the Word of God for Self-Serving Purposes Forsaking the Full-Counsel of God “And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire (this is what is happening today in our churches) that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. Yet theywere not afraid (no fear of God), nor rent theirgarments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words. Jeremiah 36:23-24 At this dark time in the history of Israel, the Scriptures had been lost and out of circulation among the people of God. Then they were found and read before the king and his servants. As a result conviction of sin came and certain parts of God’s Word were rejected and thrown into the fire to be vanished out of their presence. Read Jeremiah 36. 2 PARTIES GUILTY HERE: Just as it was in the [more]

OSAS Dialogues

Message Received: "I believe in 'once saved, always saved'. I have read the KJV Bible through several times and have listened to arguments against OSAS. To believe otherwise is to dilute the power of Jesus' blood to save to the uttermost and that is blasphemy. Love in Christ! I've walked with the Lord faithfully for 50 years out of 61. When I went 'worldly' God didn't dis own me, but gently called me to Himself and I repented of what I had done. If you are truly saved,'no man shall be able to pluck you out of His hand.'" Reply: Hi. The blood of Jesus is perfect. However, its’ application to the individual is yet another thing. Perfect righteousness is only arrived at/received and kept through the initial, continual, and presence of the perfect blood of Jesus Christ. This is accomplished as we choose to “walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his [more]

The Worst Part about Our Sin

"The Knowledge of the Holy" What's the worst part about our sin? What is the core issue of sin? The worst part about our sin is that we have offended God, not mere man. "Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity…" Habakkuk 1:13 Fearing God is a command and an essential. When we truly begin to fear Him, we then begin to gain and grasp "the knowledge of the holy." "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." Proverbs 9:10 May our LORD bless each of His true disciples with His holy fear and begin to teach us "the knowledge of the holy" which He alone can do. The knowledge of the Holy is what each true disciple is in great need of. When we have His holy fear we will know His Holy divine nature and it is then that He alone will be first in our lives and not ourselves or any [more]

What Greedy Wolves Don't Want You to Know

Are You Being Exploited? "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. 2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.  3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not." 2 Peter 2:1-3 ***False prophets love ignorant people because they are making these greedy wolves filthy rich in this fleeting world. These smiling, lavishly rich wolves are depending on the gullible to keep supporting them and so they must keep them in the dark. This is why they refuse to get honest and preach the full counsel of God's Word. For example, the Word of Faith wolves refuse to ever go to passages like Luke 12:15 and 1 Timothy [more]

His Compassions Fail Not

There's Mercy for YOU ***Can anyone else relate to needing this blessed passage? "Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. 20My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. 21This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him." Lamentation 3:19-24 You don't truly think you are alive due to any goodness of your own, do you? "He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities." Psalms 103:10 Paul was bent on not being found in the end "having mine own righteousness" which is "as filthy rags" in the LORD's holy sight. "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our [more]

The Negative Must Precede the Positive

Are those who speak the raw truth of God's Word "negative"people or is the truth contrary to what you have been misled to believe? Could those who preach the truth, the full-counsel of God's Word, be a gift from to you? Could the LORD be trying to rescue your eternal soul and you don't yet realize it? Paul the apostle said: "Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?" Galatians 4:16 Even an amateur Bible student realizes that God's prophets and apostles, those true messengers of His, were despised, rejected, and murdered by the religious hypocrites of their day. Could it be that you are just like those hell bound hypocrites? Do you attack those who preach sin, repentance, and the danger of eternal hell? Why Does Jesus Save Souls? "Who gave himself for us, THAT he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." Titus 2:14 Does Jesus save a soul just to bless him with trinkets [more]

"Conspiracy" is Reality

The following definition for "conspiracy" is found int he Webster's 1828 dictionary: Conspiracy n. [L. See Conspire.] 1. A combination of men for an evil purpose; an agreement between two or more persons, to commit some crime in concert; particularly, a combination to commit treason, or excite sedition or insurrection against the government of a state; a plot; as a conspiracy against the life of a king; a conspiracy against the government. More than forty had made this conspiracy. Acts 23. 2. In law, an agreement between two or more persons, falsely and maliciously to indict, or procure to be indicted, an innocent person of felony. "Conspiracy" is a Bible word which in itself, due to God's use of it, makes it a divine reality (Ezekiel 22:25-27). Denial changes nothing. The Bible even gives us a glimpse into a "conspiracy" that occurred in eternity past where Lucifer and a third of God's angels conspired and rebelled against Him, only to be forever vanquished from His holy presence (Isaiah 14:!2-14; Ezekiel 28:  [more]
