The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

Wolves are not God’s anointed! They are His enemies! Get a clue! The enemies of Christ are not His anointed! Now repent. When you do, you will cease bidding Godspeed to Christ’s enemies who falsely claim to be His anointed ones in order to fleece His flock! 2 John 10-11

Those who have empathy for Satan’s agents and no mercy for those they’ve deceived and hurt, are pitifully demonic. Repent now you vile devil or you will go irrevocably to the same hell as those evil doers you defend! (Ezekiel 14:10; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 2 John 10-11)

The LORD is calling us to maturity in His holy fear. We are to come to the place where we refuse to conceal or hide any person operating as a Christian leader who is leading God’s people astray through his false doctrine.

Wolves in sheep’s clothing use the “touch not mine anointed” in order not to be questioned while they are making merchandise of the people (2 Peter 2:1-3).

Be not deceived: Those who use the “touch not mine anointed” Scripture to cloak themselves, to hide behind, do so because they have something to hide. They are unaccountable and unrepentant, walking in darkness (John 3:19-21). These are wolves who are running a scam on others and don’t want to be exposed. Did Jesus or His holy apostles or anyone in the New Testament Scriptures ever once use the term “touch not mine anointed”? No.

Many seem to come to the aid and defense of the wolves they’ve embraced. They go on an aggressive attack against anyone who dare question their wolf and his/her teachings.

It is a divine mandate to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” The teachings of every man must be weighed in the balance against the final divine authority, the standard, the written Word. This is exactly what the Bereans did to Paul when he taught – they “searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:10-11). God’s written Word is the final divine authority on all matters of faith and doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16-17). “Let God be true and every man a liar” (Romans 3:4).

Notice the context from which the false prophets of today pluck and misuse this “Touch not mine anointed” phrase. Note the language. It’s plain that God is speaking of all of His people.

“And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; 19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. 20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; 21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, 22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” 1 Chronicles 16:17-22

Clearly in this context, it is all of God’s people who are addressed as His “anointed” and not just the leaders – and especially not wolves in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15).

Repent and follow Jesus and stop defending His enemies. And anyone who defends His enemies is an enemy of Jesus.

Matthew Washington writes:

“A true follower of Christ never follows a personality but rather they seek and follow the truth which is Christ. Question: Are you following Christ or a man, method, or ministry? Everyone of us who name the name of Christ should ask the Father if we are truly following Him or something or someone else that we think is Him. Deception is Rampant! Let no man deceive you by any means.”

Those who defend Jesus’ enemy’s will be judged, damned with them (2 Pet 2:1-3; 2 Jn 10-11).

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:10-11

Have you been Deceived? Whose Fault was it?

Touch Not the Cross-Less Wolves

“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly (self-serving carnal appetites), and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19

Many who claim they are “God’s anointed” today hide behind this verse they pluck out of context in order to cloak themselves. In reality, these men are the greedy wolves Jesus and His apostles warned us about.

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

Jesus and His holy apostles often rebuked and exposed false leaders and false doctrine (Matthew 23; Acts 13:10; 20:29-31; Galatians 5:11-12; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; 2 Peter 2; 2 John 7-11; Revelation 2:6, 15, etc.). Therefore we know that part of following Jesus includes doing the same. In fact, the body of Christ is mandated to do just that (Romans 16:17-18; Philippians 1:17; Jude 3-4).

THE WORK OF SATAN AND HIS PAWNS IS TO KEEP HIS WOLVES (FALSE LEADERS) HIDDEN FROM VIEW! GOD WANTS THEM EXPOSED, BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST SO HIS SHEEP, FOR WHOM CHRIST DIED, CAN BE PROTECTED. JESUS AND HIS HOLY APOSTLES DID JUST THIS – EXPOSE FALSE LEADERS AND THEIR HERESIES! LET’S GET A GOSPEL CLUE AND CEASE DEFENDING, HIDING SATAN’S AGENTS! (See Matthew 21:12-17; Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3-4; Acts 13:10; Matthew 23, etc.)

Those who truly know the LORD are crucified with Him and Christ alone is magnified in their lives (Romans 6, etc.). They don’t find Scripture to use out of context to hide behind and to perpetrate greedy thievery on others by using the name of the LORD in vain.

No man can possibly be full of self and simultaneously full of the Savior – it’s either one or the other (Matthew 6:24; 12:30). The crucified life is an essential, it’s central to our walk with Jesus (Luke 9:23-24; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3, etc.).

When you hear someone using the “Touch not mine anointed” Scripture, you should begin to ponder and ask a simple question …..

What or whose “anointing” are you talking about?

WHO are God’s true “anointed”? EVERY believer in whom dwells the Holy Spirit is God’s anointed and not a certain clan of self-appointed wolves who claim they are the anointed ones (1 John 2:20, 27).

Lorin Richman writes:

“Another one they always use out of context is, “touch not God’s anointed!”, not realizing that false teachers ARE NOT God’s anointed, but rather His believers are because we are in Jesus and He is in us.”

WHAT spirit is anointing the false prophets who feign to represent Christ? – “another spirit” which is a demon (2 Corinthians 11:12-15).

Any person talking about the “anointing” and it’s not in the context of the crucified life, is suspect and most likely a total fraud!

Jesus never anoints anyone who isn’t crucified with Him through the daily cross! (See Luke 9:23-24.) Those who don’t realize this have no Gospel clue.

WHEN you see someone talking about what they call “the anointing” and yet never mention the cross – you know you are dealing with a self-serving, counterfeit dupe! (Read Galatians 2:20; 6:14.)

You will never hear a “Touch not mine anointed” fraud preaching the cross! This alone reveals their deceit, their falsity! RUN NOW!

“Touch Not”? Yeah! But What Does that Mean?

“Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” Psalms 105:15

Who said today’s self-appointed wolves are God’s “anointed”? God certainly didn’t but THEY did and do – and so do those indoctrinated under their spell, their witchcraft. They’ve made their followers “twofold more the child(ren) of hell” (Matthew 23:15). False prophets use this one verse to shield themselves from being exposed. What those who support them don’t realize is that these men are the very agents of Satan himself and nothing less (2 Corinthians 11:12-15). These prophesied wolves have lifted this verse out of its divinely intended context and have conveniently attributed it to themselves – while not only are they not God’s anointed, they are His very enemies. And we know that those who use “touch not mine anointed” to defend their favorite false teachers, are perpetrating this whole deception.

While groundless counterfeits run around defending their favorite wolves as they tout “Touch not mine anointed,” God says “touch not the unclean thing” (2 Corinthians 6:17). And defending His enemies is an “unclean thing”! Those who defend the enemies of Christ will be judged into hell with them (2 Peter 2:1-3; 2 John 10-11).

Do you realize that if you are supporting and defending what Paul calls “enemies of the cross of Christ” that YOU will be judged, sent to hell with them? (See Philippians 3:18-19; 2 John 10-11; 2 Peter 2:1-3.)

YES, God is the Judge and THE JUDGE HAS SPOKEN – it’s called the BIBLE. We have HIS judgments on record in the Bible. Now let’s repent and cease the smokescreens to evade truly repenting! (See John 3:19-21.)

Dear wolf defender: Sounds like you need to repent and get into God’s Word and when you do, you will cease attacking people that are doing His Word – which includes exposing His enemies.

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

WHEN the LORD says “Touch not mine anointed” He’s speaking of any single one of His children. When today’s idolatrous dupes who make idols out of mere men and ministries say “touch not mine anointed,” they are speaking of Satan’s false prophets! All of Scripture testifies to the truth that God loves and has put His Holy Spirit in each and every one of His children. Biblically speaking, the “anointing” is the Holy Ghost and not the self-appointed assigning of some special, superior office of any mere man. | Who are the Nicolaitans?

Nicolaitans means to conquer the laity/people: nico = conquer. laitans/laity = the people. These are the false leaders who reign like gods over the blood-bought children of God. They abominably insert themselves between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). In this manipulation, this witchcraft, these Antichrists intercept the heart affections and resources of those they bring under their domination (Colossians 2:18-19; Revelation 2:6, 15).

One of the ways Satan targets, deceives, and snares saints is via false leaders – wolves who wear sheep’s clothing. Jesus warned us of just such a threat (Matthew 7:15). Satan uses false leaders to turn the affections of people’s hearts away from Christ and onto them. Their personalities and ministries and church building projects are projected in the minds of their prey so regularly, therapeutically that most people never realize it. Study Colossians 2:18-19 closely saints.

We see this happening with David and his son Absalom where his son “Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel” (2 Samuel 15:6). Absalom intercepted the affections of the hearts, directing them upon himself instead of King David. David was a type of Christ and Absalom is a type of false teachers and the antichrist. Anti means in place of. Absalom sought to put himself in place of his father David – to replace him in order to be esteemed, popular, worshipped (Colossians 2:18-19). This is what false prophets do. They get your attention, your support, and your money on them – Not Christ! (See Colossians 2:18-19.)

This is exactly what these warlocks who claim to be “God’s anointed” are doing. They are positioning themselves in the place reserved for Jesus Christ, the Head of His body. These are usurpers! They are known in that they speak endlessly of themselves, THEIR calling, THEIR status, THEIR office, THEIR anointing, THEIR ministry, THEIR stuff, THEIR family, etc. … and not Christ, the nail-scarred risen LORD, Savior, and KING of all kings! RUN NOW!

“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:18-19

Jesus says He HATES the deeds and doctrines of these evil, manipulating, controlling men who pretend to be representing Him, the humble Son of God (Revelation 2:6, 15).

The Nicolaitans have invaded the modern church world. They’ve come to steal your life with Christ, to rob you of the utter joy and liberty of knowing Christ!

“Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.” 2 Corinthians 1:24

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1

GOT “HATE”? … ARE YOU LISTENING? FLASH POINT: Jesus says He HATES and applauded the Ephesians for HATING the deeds of the Nicolaitans!

“But this thou hast, that thou HATEST the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also HATE.” Revelation 2:6

You may wish to find out exactly who those people – the Nicolaitans – were/are and why Jesus says He hates their deeds and doctrines.

In stark contrast to the self-elevating wolves of today’s apostate modern church world He warned us so often about, Jesus Christ, the God and Creator of all that is, came humbly to serve His Father and mankind – giving His own life for all who would come to Him and be saved into His eternal kingdom (Philippians 2).

Three times in Matthew 18 Jesus uses the term “little ones”:

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:6

“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 18:10

“Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” Matthew 18:14

Any second grader who has read a few pages in the Gospels knows that the way you treat God’s people and the poor is the way you are treating Jesus and will determine your personal judgment! (Luke 14:13, 21, etc.) The words “the poor” are found 145 times in God’s Word.

Jesus uses the term “the LEAST of these”…..

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. … 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.” Matthew 25:40, 45

Jesus tells us here that He is personally offended when people refuse to help “the LEAST” of His people. Those who will be wise will find and give to the saints and ministries that are lacking and not to the greedy frauds (Acts 2:44-45; 4:32-35).

“But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.” 1 John 2:20

“But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” 1 John 2:27

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28

“Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.” 1 Thessalonians 5:5

Notice that “evil men” are willingly, deliberately, and “without excuse,” walking in darkness and are therefore blind (Romans 1:20).

“Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.” Proverbs 28:5

Blindness is not an accident but rather the result of refusing to walk in the light of divine truth (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

Jesus is God’s Anointed One (Messiah)! Counterfeits seem to often talk about “touch not mine anointed” out of context! They teach this verse to their prey in order to justify what they are doing and to fend off those who see through their thin veneer.

FLASH POINT: EACH AND EVERY born again disciple of Jesus has God’s anointing – His Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9, 16; 1 John 2:20, 27, etc.). Idolaters are always attempting to defend the wolf they love more than the Savior they claim to serve! Repent!

MESSAGE RECEIVED IN DEFENSE OF JOEL OSTEEN WHO WAS BEING EXPOSED:

(In defense of Joel Osteen, this man writes) “‘Touch not mine anointed’ – Folks your spiritual ignorance will limit the Word of God in your lives…”

REPLY:

Speaking of ignorance….. you are bidding Godspeed to (condoning, defending, endorsing) an obvious false teacher which means you will be judged with this wolf. Repent. “If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 10-11

It’s interesting how you condemn others (wrongly) by saying they are wrongly judging. Wow. Hypocrisy. Matt 7:1-5

ALL of God’s true people are His anointed (2 Corinthians 1:21; 1 John 2:20, 27, etc.). You are using that verse out of context.

The counterfeits among us are being exposed by who they choose to defend!

Seth Koenig writes the following to a man who touted “touch not mine anointed” when a wolf he follows was being exposed:

“You brought one Bible verse (without the reference) and out of context. The Lord’s anointed was the king of Israel (David), his prophets (Isaiah, Malachi etc.) and His priests (Aaron and his sons). This is all to point to Jesus, the Prophet, Priest and King of our faith. Joel Osteen is anything but anointed of the Lord. He may be anointed by the god of this world (Satan), but not Jesus. Sorry Neil, please reconsider. He is a wolf…and you’ll be chewed up quickly.”

On the topic of who God truly anoints, brother David G. Clifton writes:

“All saints are anointed of God. These folks some foolishly call ‘God’s anointed’ are not ‘awesome servants of the Lord.’ They are false teachers and we have a Scriptural mandate to expose false teachers. I suggest you do a serious word study on judging as it is used in the New Testament. I’d also suggest you do a study on ‘Touch not my anointed’ which is what you seem to be referring to. Anytime a minister or evangelist says, ‘Touch not God’s anointed,’ that is a sure sign that he or she is a false prophet. Pick up the Bible and check it out for yourself.”

Salvador Cruz writes:

“There are so many things preached in church buildings that are not scriptural. The star of David, the title of ‘reverend,’ false anointing, holy laughter, etc. It is imperative to study the Scriptures on our own, asking for the Holy Spirit’s guidance.”

THOSE WHO ARE KNOWN OF GOD WOULD NEVER DEFEND OR PROMOTE HIS ENEMIES!

Those who misuse the “Touch not mine anointed” verse out of context to defend a false prophet, are idolaters. You are bidding Godspeed to the enemies of God and need to repent before it’s too late because all who do so are going to hell with Jesus’ enemies! (See 2 John 10-11.) All idolaters are going to the lake of fire – “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and IDOLATERS, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8).

“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine (the original Gospel, centered on the cross), receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed (do not condone): 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 10-11

BETTER be careful who you are endorsing/bidding Godspeed to! Those who endorse Christ’s enemies who pose as Christian leaders are going to hell with them! We have God’s Word/promise on that! (See 2 John 10-11.) Beware of the Wolf Defenders!

Please show us all where Paul prayed for wolves. In 2 Timothy 1-4 the apostle names and marks 8 wolves – 2 per chapter. No prayer included for any wolf. Repent and get into God’s Word. Your notions and opinions are foolish.

Did Jesus pray for the Pharisees/false religious leaders He lambasted in Matthew 23? No. His mercy was poured out in the rebuke which was designed to grant them repentance. If they didn’t repent, Jesus told them three times in that chapter alone that they were going to hell.

Naming Names: Is it Biblical?

Many run and give to false ministries, bringing divine judgment on themselves for supporting the very enemies of the cross of Christ (Philippians 3:18-19; 2 John 10-11, etc.). But Jesus puts value on helping the poor, supporting His work, and the lowly of His children.

“And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.” Matthew 10:42

Those who give to the wolves, funding the frauds who have the false anointing, are the same as the religious priest and Levite who refused to help the man who had been beaten, robbed, and left for dead. Remember Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan? (See Luke 10:25-37.) Counterfeits won’t support the true work of God – which involves assisting Christians in need and the preaching of the original Gospel of Christ. Yet, they gladly run to fund false teacher$.

“He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and HE THAT GIVETH TO THE RICH, SHALL SURELY COME TO WANT.” Proverbs 22:16

Those who give to rich, false ministries will be judged with them – they will “come to want” in the end which means they will be found wanting, lacking that which God requires to be admitted into eternal glory.

God takes it personally when someone claiming to be serving Him funds His enemies – no different than if a husband gives money to a party/person who is the sworn enemy of his own wife! (See 2 John 10-11.)

“Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?” James 2:5

One of the ways modern wolves exploit biblically ungrounded people, is to teach them the idea that they, the wolves, are God’s anointed. They do this by misusing the “Touch not mine anointed” verse – which God would certainly never apply to them because they are HIS enemies.

The reason people defend wolves is that they are not following Christ – the way HE prescribes:

IS the cross at the center of your life? If not, you are not following Jesus, friend (Luke 9:23-24). Here you go – it’s time to camp out on this original Gospel truth – without which you have no life with Christ! Think back to what it meant for you to be water baptized after Jesus saved you. WHAT did that represent? Was that not the cross Christ intended to be at the center of your life – every day of your life till you’re in Heaven? (See Romans 6:3-4)

The Cross

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“I guess you are the only true believer.”

REPLY:

That’s a lame response Tim. How about offering some substance from SCRIPTURE. I guess Jesus, His holy apostles, and prophets, were evil for exposing the enemies of the LORD – in order to protect His sheep … who apparently don’t matter to you.

DEAR AHAB: THERE are far too many spineless moral coward “men” who are defending female preachers who are clearly false and out of order! Repent and God will forgive you of this sin and give you a holy spine. The LORD doesn’t appreciate men who are effeminate (1 Cor 6:9-10). Can you read? “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence” (1 Timothy 2:12).

WHOSE side are you really on? There you are defending the clear, obvious enemies of Christ while you claim to be Christ’s! Delusional. Apparently you are turned over to “strong delusion” for not loving the truth of God – because you refuse to earnestly, honestly, and diligently study God’s Word for yourself. The LORD is calling you to repent at once before it’s too late!

WOLF-DEFENDING COUNTERFEITS BUSTED AND EXPOSED! Please share: Jesus came and died to save the souls that are in jeopardy of being deceived/eternally damned by the wolves you are defending! Make no mistake: You are a child of the devil himself and wouldn’t know Jesus if the Son of God stood in your face! Repent now sinner. Those who are walking in God’s love are warning in order to protect the sheep for whom Jesus bled!

You will never hear one person who hides behind the “Touch not mine anointed” verse who is soundly grounding anyone in the written Word – which is the highest final divine authority (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:16-21).

Patrick Weir writes:

“I find myself asking about the numerous Bible prophecies about deception in the last days. What is it that people think deception is going to look like? Almost all the present-day leaders have Christian backgrounds, even if some of them were Quakers. I mean, Dallas Willard was raised Baptist. How is it that people raised in Christianity can make the choice to believe a lie? These people openly reject what the Word says. Aren’t we to hold everything up to the mirror of God’s Word? In denying Scripture, who is it that gives them their new thinking that holds preeminence over the Word? Deception is, by definition, not supposed to be obvious. The intent of deception is to trick you. So, now that they have been tricked, is fundamental Bible faith what they think last days deception looks like? Or, are they still waiting for end-times deception? Their message is that the Bible takes second place to what they insist the body of Christ must be and is being updated to. The deception is so blatantly obvious, and I find myself shaking my head at their blindness. One thing for certain. It prompts me to thank The Lord for the fundamental faith that was the foundation of my walk with Him.”

YOU’D better truly repent. If you don’t get into God’s Word daily, you prove you don’t love God enough to do so and will remain in darkness (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).

THE WICKED AND THE WONDERFUL: Does the Bible say that You are Wonderful? [podcast]

The testimony of Holy Scripture is that JESUS is “Wonderful” (Isaiah 9:6-7)…. and we are “desperately wicked” without Him (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 7:18, 24). Each of His children, bought by His blood, merely stand as unworthy beggars, shoulder to shoulder in honor of our KING, Jesus! The only righteousness we have is that which our LORD Jesus mercifully, graciously provided for us by the one-time shedding of HIS precious blood for our sin – to pay the price in full, the exclusive redemption price which alone could and did satisfy the claims of the Father’s justice to redeem fallen mankind […]

Abiding

The Lying Vanity of “Eternal Security” [podcast]

WHY was Satan expelled from God’s presence, from Heaven? What happened the last time sin was found in Heaven? Did God coddle it or kick it out? Jesus told us:

“And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” Luke 10:18

Oh and will we lose the ability to choose in Heaven? One man recently stated: “Even if you are in Heaven you do not have eternal security.” Interesting and apparently true…. because as I am sure you were alluding to, lucifer and a third of the angels still had choice in Heaven, they chose sin and were expelled (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:13-19; Luke 10:18).

Those who deal with the eternal securists know that it’s observable that these self-serving idolaters, counterfeits, want the assurance of salvation via lies instead of obedience. They campaign, promote, and defend their “eternal security” idol doctrine. If they spent the same time and energy seeking and obeying the LORD they claim to serve, there would be great fruit born.

No one is going to walk in peace and assurance just because they speak of it, claim it, or because they desire to have peace and assurance. No, it’s only when we obey the Word of God that His peace and assurance flood our being. There’s no short cut to obedience (1 John 3:16-18).

The assurance of salvation, of eternal glory with Christ, abides only in those who obey God. The OSAS wolves speak nothing of obeying the LORD. No, instead they spend all their time indoctrinating people with the heresy that they are eternally secure no matter what they do after being saved. Those who give more than cliche’s and lip service to God, enjoy the assurance of His salvation.

“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby (by obedience) we know that we are of the truth, and shall ASSURE our hearts before him. 20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.” 1 John 3:18-21

Assurance of salvation in our hearts comes from abiding in and with Christ, from obeying Him – not sitting around convincing ourselves and others that we are “eternally secure” (John 14-15). Such is the occupation of moral coward counterfeits who are lost hell-bound souls.

Convincing people who aren’t abiding in Christ that they are eternally secure is criminal, sinful, and perpetrated by the grace-perverting “ungodly men” Jude warned us about (Jude 3-4). Instead of teaching them that God requires that they love and obey Him, they sidestep this unpopular truth and evilly, insidiously tickle the ears of their prey (2 Timothy 4:2-4).

Of 1 John 3:19, Adam Clarke writes:

“Hereby we know that we are of the truth – That we have the true religion of the Lord Jesus, and shall assure our hearts – be persuaded in our consciences, that we have the truth as it is in Jesus; as no man can impose upon himself by imagining he loves when he does not: he may make empty professions to others, but if he loves either God or man, he knows it because he feels it; and love unfelt is not love, it is word or tongue. This the apostle lays down as a test of a man’s Christianity, and it is the strongest and most infallible test that can be given. He that loves feels that he does love; and he who feels that he loves God and man has true religion; and he who is careful to show the fruits of this love, in obedience to God and humane acts to man, gives others the fullest proof that he has the loving mind that was in Jesus.”

The crux concerning the eternal security counterfeits is that they simply refuse to die – to deny self, take up the cross daily, and follow the Savior they claim is their Savior.

Believing that God requires man to participate in an abiding relationship with Him is not works salvation, it’s Bible 101. The only people who call an abiding walk with Christ “works salvation” are those who are vainly thinking they’re going to use Jesus to get them to Heaven, out of hell, without engaging in a relationship with the Great Bridegroom. These are antichrists. They teach contrary to Christ. Read John 15:1-6. Doesn’t their reasoning, their doctrine sound like the foolish virgins who were shut out of Christ’s kingdom? Yep. Read Matthew 25:1-13.

Instead of using that energy to lay down their lives, to be truly crucified with Christ, the OSAS defenders have endless energy to argue to justify sinning. Why? They simply do not love the LORD. They love self and they love their life in this world and will perish with it (1 Corinthians 2:9b; 1 John 2:15-17).

Eternal securists preach “grace, grace, grace” and yet they have more faith in sin, in sinning, than they do in God’s grace to keep them…. free from sin. They are “(…the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things)” (Philippians 3:18-19).

“For he that is dead is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7

Let me get this straight …… Jesus’ grace was enough to save you but is not strong enough to keep you from the sin He died and rose again to deliver you from?

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:1-3‬. This post (exposing the heresy of OSAS) continues division among God’s people. God has chosen not to reveal all of Himself to any person. We are all in a broken state of incomplete revelation.”

REPLY:

Not true. You are quoting Romans 14 which is speaking of NON-essentials, not essential doctrine of the original Gospel given to us by Christ and His holy apostles. Those who do not continue in sound doctrine, in the teaching of Christ and His apostles, “hath NOT God” and are to be exposed (2 John 7-11).

The only one causing division is you – a false teacher who is perpetrating the same lie of Satan himself from the Garden of Eden, the original doctrine of devils (1 Timothy 4:1).

Believers are specifically mandated to “earnestly contend” against “ungodly men” who are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” such as Satan’s first lie, his first teaching – OSAS/eternal security.

Jude 1:3-5
“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, 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.”

Divisions are needed – the divining between the truth-loving remnant of Christ and the counterfeits who espouse falsehoods (Romans 16:17-18). See also Matthew 10:34.

God has clearly, plainly revealed to us the OSAS/eternal security is a lie from His arch enemy and actually led to the fall of mankind in the Garden (Proverbs 22:17-21; Genesis 2:17; 3:4). The warnings against this heresy exist throughout His Word. You may wish to cease using the cop-out position.

Brother Raphael King writes:

“If once saved always saved is correct, then why does Satan tempt saved Christians? What is the aim of the tempter if not to entice the saved ones to sin?

If once saved always saved is correct, why did Jesus tell the man he healed of his infirmity to go and SIN NO MORE? John 5:14

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

I need your views on these if you think once saved always saved is correct, or you have believed a lie all long!”

According to man’s school of thought, eternal security (also known as “once saved, always saved”) is the belief that from the moment anyone becomes a Christian they will be saved from hell and will not lose their salvation.

But according to the Bible, someone that was once saved can still fall into sin, die in their sins and go to hell!

2 Peter 2:20-22: “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”

Let’s analyze some examples:

Judas was once saved! One cannot fall away from a place he has never been. So, accepting this falling away as truth, the conclusion is that one can be saved and then “fall away” or lose his salvation. How can a fallen man fall again if he was never saved at first?

Acts 1:25: “That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.”

Judas Iscariot was standing in the Lord, and a follower of Christ before he fell into transgression.

Demas was once saved…

Colossians 4:14: “Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.”

Philemon 1:24: “Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers…” These are saved laborers that Paul referred to.

But Demas later backslid to love the world….

2 Timothy 4:10: “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.”

1 Corinthians 5 was written to believers who had fallen into fornication. “It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.” Paul would not be preaching like this to those that are not yet saved.

The seven churches in Revelation were saved believers before they fell. The Bible recorded their good works. The remedy for them was repentance. Mind you these happened after Pentecost. The church at Ephesus backslid and left its first love. God out of His infinite mercy, sent a message of warning to them. Can you then say that these Churches are not truly saved at first? Then read Revelation 2:1-5 and see their stand before they fell.

Revelation 2:5: “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”

David once fell into sin, Saul once fell into sin, Solomon once fell into sin, Ananias and Sapphira once fell into sin, Lucifer once fell into sin! The lists are endless. These people were saved but somewhere along the line they fell into sin. Some had the grace to repent and utilized it while others wasted it, some didn’t have the grace to repent.

Those that said these people were not truly saved at first should bring evidence from the Bible and not self-assumption. You don’t assume the Bible, you believe it!

If once saved forever saved is true, why did the apostles write to believers that they should not commit sin and warned them to flee from fornication? The Bible talks about repentance in various chapters.

Eternal salvation is for those who always obey God. Once you disobey God, you will lose it just like King Saul in the Bible. The only way to reclaim it is through repentance.

Hebrews 5:9: “And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;”

Saved by Grace to Obey God

The OSAS counterfeits want to say that any obedience or good works for Jesus mean you are seeking to earn your own salvation. But the Bible tells us that we are saved by grace through faith which will always produce the fruit of good works. In fact we are created in Christ to do them!

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10

He saved us by His grace to be “his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Any questions?

Jesus requires that we overcome in order to reign with Him.

“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:” Revelation 2:26

Those who keep His works to the end are those who trust and worship Christ and not self – He is their “first love.” (Revelation 2:4-5) Their works do not save them and yet they clearly prove they are His.

“Unto the end” is a requirement for eternal glory, otherwise you will be vanquished into the bowels of eternal damnation irrevocably. Faith is required by God to receive Christ’s salvation, and true saving faith always produces good works (Ephesians 2:8-10).

Isn’t our obedience to Jesus our LORD an expression of our love for Him?

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15

What did Jesus say concerning our lights shining and “good works”?

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

“Be careful to maintain good works”

“This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.” Titus 3:8

O the endless stream of cowards who seek to evade personal accountability ….. In dealing with yet another heretic, I recently wrote concerning a man who believes he has no personal responsibility to worship, walk with, obey, and engage in an intimate abiding relationship with the Savior He claims saved him (John 15:1-6). He assumes no accountability because he seeks to use Jesus to get him to Heaven but has no interest in the cross Jesus says one must take up daily to truly follow Him-otherwise such a counterfeit is not following Him (Luke 9:23-24). Repent now sinner.

Moral cowards migrate to the “eternal security” heresy because they simply do not want to genuinely repent, to change. They want the crown but not the cross. They vainly believe they are going to use the Savior to get them out of hell yet want nothing to do with a worship-filled, engaged, abiding, fruit-bearing, obedient relationship with the Son of God while on earth. These are the rebels who will hear the LORD declare to them “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:” (Matthew 25:4. Read John 15.)

In the biblical model of salvation, you’re not free to sin, you’ve been saved from sin, blessed to live free from sin.

“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” Romans 6:14

You are now the servant of God, not sin.

“But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.” Romans 6:22

Those who go back to sin after being saved, are in danger of hell fire – unless they repent and return to the LORD:

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

The wages of sin is STILL death (Ezekiel 18:4; Romans 6:23). God’s grace never changed His definition of sin. God will judge, will damn the souls of every person who dies in sin – whether they were saved in the past or not (Ezekiel 33:12-13; Revelation 22:11, etc.).

Lawless Workers of Iniquity

This warning below from Christ clearly tells us that “MANY” today who call Jesus “Lord”, who claim they are saved, are not.

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (lawlessness).” Matthew 7:21-23

Joe Mann writes:

“When a person does what CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF tells them to not do or do…. it’s not their own work’s…..is it???

Besides a person is not in the PROCESS of being SAVED BY & until BELIEF in WHO & WHAT?

Luke 6:46-49

46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”

Simply put, those who teach OSAS/eternal security/Calvinism, are sin-justifying, grace-perverting heretics.

The 5 points of Calvinism are utterly false, each and every one of them. Personally, I wear the scorn of the wicked eternal security and calvinist hereticks, as a badge of honor. According to the Holy Spirit’s warning through Jude, these have perverted the faith of the original Gospel of Christ and call it “the doctrines of grace” while they specifically pervert the grace of God. These are “ungodly men” who are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” (license for sin) (Jude 4). We are to “earnestly contend” against them (Jude 3).

You could openly curse the Son of God and they’d say little or nothing. Yet, soon as you expose the lying falsehoods they hide behind and use to justify their sins, those devils behind those “doctrines of devils” manifest (1 Timothy 4:1-2).

Calvinist/osas heretics insist that one is devaluing the perfect payment of Christ on the cross for our sins…. are they?

Jesus’ work was perfect and this same JESUS gave conditions for man to appropriate His salvation. To say otherwise would be to say that everyone is going to Heaven, not matter what which is the heresy we call universalism. Yet some wish to ignore those conditions, those things God requires of anyone who will know and walk with Him. Many have bought lies, half-truths and aren’t being honest with the whole counsel of God’s Word. Jesus told His own 12 they had to “endure to the end” to be “saved” (Matthew 10:22; 24:13).

“Saved by grace through faith. Lets break this down for those who don’t understand… Its by Gods grace we’re offered the gift of salvation; yet that gift of salvation is activated through faith!! Without faith no man can please God. And if people think for one second they’re forced to abide or remain in the faith, they better get back in the word. Jesus even said that he is the true vine, and if we don’t remain in him, we are cut off… OSAS teaching is a lie! We must work out our salvation in fear and trembling before the Lord daily!! Endure unto the end!” Cristina

Specifically speaking to HIS own, Jesus says they must “abide” in Him or they will be cast into the fire (John 15:6).

“If a man abide not in me (does not remain with me), he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:6

Response to a proponent of OSAS:

Please explain to all of us why EVERY person in the world isn’t automatically saved…. after all, Jesus paid the full price for their sin…. And, show us all in God’s Word how men don’t have free will. “Doctrines of grace” to you are actually the corruption of God’s saving grace and Jude warned us about vile wolves, “ungodly men” like you who turn the saving grace of God in Christ into a license for sin.

“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 (license to sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 4

Here’s a Scripture text on true saving grace that you are allergic to and that your phony “grace teachers” never mentioned….

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;” Titus 2:11-12

Every false teacher is going to hell (2 Peter 2:1-3).

Calvinists speak of “doctrines of grace” while intentionally ignoring and evading Bible passages on grace such as Titus 2:11-12. Calvinists are con men. They are fulfilling the Holy Spirit’s prophecy through Jude as they over emphasize grace while deliberately evading certain grace Scriptures and mountains of truth (Jude 4). What about holiness – God’s holiness, and the truth that He said “Be ye holy for I am holy”? See 1 Peter 1:15-16. You purposely ignore it because you simply don’t want to die, to lay down your life in this fleeting world, to be crucified with Christ. Counterfeit. | Grace vs Holiness

The Love of Many Shall Wax Cold [podcast]

YOU know when you are listening to a wolf when He only speaks of God’s love for us but never about God’s command that we love Him – and if we don’t, we are going to hell. Beware. The LORD’s been 100% faithful to us and yet He requires our faithfulness to Him or hell awaits (Matthew 22:37-40). If someone’s love toward God’s people has waxed cold, it’s only because their love for the LORD first waxed cold (Matthew 24:10-14). Today is the best day to repent and return to the LORD. “And then shall many be offended, and shall […]

How is God’s Money to be Spent by His Church? [podcast]

Have you ever noticed when volunteers go to the mission field on a short term mission trip….

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-12

The highest paid position, calling in the church is what?

“the elders that rule well”

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:13-15

The love offerings of Christ’s saints are to be spent equiping His saints to spread His Word, His Gospel to the end of the earth. This is the Great Commission mandate Jesus gave us. Are you living it out?

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15

“Don’t bother me” with the needs of others is the crass, cold, calloused response of those who don’t step forward to contribute. Darkness consumes their life and Jesus is calling them out of that darkness and into His marvellous light! They are totally consumed in their own life—and that’s the problem, the sin. Repentance needed. Divine refreshing will only come after true repentance (Acts 3:19). God will never bless a selfish person (Matthew 20:20-28; Philippians 2:3-5). The LORD will always bless those who are given to Him and therefore giving to His work (Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11).

When we spend all our money on self, who does that reveal we are serving—the Savior or self?

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24

Local Church Revenues

SERIOUS QUESTIONS TO ASK CONCERNING THE APPROPRIATION OF REVENUES FLOWING INTO LOCAL CHURCHES. There is no attempt here to condemn the actions of all local fellowship organizations, but rather to probe objectively into the practices and bureaucratic systems in place, to determine how biblical they are or are not. “For ye have the poor always with you…” Matthew 26:11 Does it seem unscriptural and unreasonable that there is little or no benevolence fund for congregants among churches in America?

What Did Paul mean by "Double Honour"? [podcast]
