Did Mary Die for Our Sins? [podcast]

Blasphemous Antichrist Idolatry: Mary on the Cross

This is demonic. Mary was a sinner (Luke 1:47-48). Mary can’t hear prayers. Mary told you to obey Jesus (John 2:5). Mary didn’t walk on water, raise the dead, open blinded eyes, or die for anyone’s sins. God has spoken to us through His Son, not mary. “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” (Hebrews 1:1-3) Only Jesus can forgive your sins and save you – “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” (Acts 16:31)

“God wants us to worship Him in spirit and in truth, we walk by faith not by sight. The images Mary etc. are false images as related to God. These false images give us an incorrect impression of the true Jesus Christ, and are, in fact, a part of the devil’s great master deception and should be treated as such. It is not wrong to picture (in our mind’s eye) Jesus Christ in His glorified state as He is today, as John described in Revelation 1:14-16: “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.” (Revelation 1:14-16) God would not have inspired this description unless He wanted us to know Christ’s glorified appearance. Amen. Welcome to the family of God.” Marjorie Banks

Mary on Cross Above Jesus. In catholic theology and art, Mary is always elevated above Jesus Christ. Pure, antichrist Idolatry!

In catholic art, Mary is many times seen OVER Jesus which is consistent with their antichrist doctrines. But God’s Word tells us that Jesus Christ, the Almighty God, needed no help redeeming mankind when He offered His blood on the altar of the cross.

“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” Hebrews 1:3

The catholic church perpetrates the heresy that Jesus was a co-mediatrix with Christ. But the Bible tells us:

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” 1 Timothy 2:5

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES THAT MARY IS MEDIATRIX/co-redeemer:

Pope John XXIII 1959, stated: “Mary is a SOURCE of SALVATION to the HUMAN RACE, 2003 OUR Sunday Visitor MAY edition. Also, “Mary is the MEDIATRIX of the GRACES that flow from her son’s Redemptive sacrifice.” Pope John Paul II, Cathechism #969 “Mary is the ALL HOLY ONE”. And #2677 “has a saving office and brings forth the gifts of eternal salvation”

Jesus is the only Hope God gave us for forgiveness of sins – Jesus stated: “The Son of man hath power ON EARTH (not in “purgatory”) to forgive sins.” Matthew 9:6

Anyone see Mary in that statement from the Son of God? No.

GOD NOR MARY HERSELF NEVER INSTRUCTED ANYONE TO LOOK TO MARY FOR GRACE OR ANSWERED PRAYER. Jesus told us that He is exclusively the only way to the Father.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6

There is no other way to the Father and to Heaven except Jesus Christ.

Mary can save no one. Mary couldn’t save herself. She was a sinner and admitted such when she called God her Savior. Only a sinner needs a Savior. Notice in this prayer the thing Mary stated as she exalted the LORD and not herself. She calls herself a mere “handmaiden” of the Almighty:

“And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name (not Mary’s).
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.” Luke 1:46-51

Mary admits she’s a sinner when she says “he hath regarded the LOW estate of his handmaiden.” (Luke 1:48) Mary did not exalt herself but rather admitted her own sinful state in these words.

Like all men, Mary was a sinner and a sinner cannot forgive or save a sinner. Only Jesus Christ, the Almighty can do such (Revelation 1:8).

Her use of the words “God my Savior” reveals that mary was a sinner – ONLY a sinner needs a Savior.

GOD THE FATHER GAVE JESUS (not mary, the pope or catholic church) FOR OUR SINS – “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.” JOHN 3:16

It’s true that the central Theme of all of Scripture is Jesus, and that is precisely the point… the catholic church places emphasis upon mary and this is demonic in that it is causing great idolatry – people’s attention is diverted from Jesus to mary.

NO SUCH THING AS A CATHOLIC WHO IS A CHRISTIAN: Think about this … what water did mary ever walk on? Whose blinded eyes did mary open? what dead person did mary ever raised from the dead? what leper or lame person did mary every heal? what cross did mary foretell she was going to die on for the sins of the world? what cross did mary die on? was it mary who was sent from Heaven to bleed and be buried and rise again? is mary coming back soon to save the people of God and judge the wicked?

The Bible never says mary was “full of grace” BUT rather Jesus … “And the Word (Jesus) was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14) …. Notice here that when speaking of the Son of God the Bible says that He, not mary, was “full of grace and truth.”

One former catholic says: “My whole life as being Catholic almost 40 years I never saw one person bring a Bible to Mass. … never… and I never missed Mass… and I attended Mass all the time… I was also an office manager at one of the larger churches in the community of 5 thousand so I would be there everyday as they would have Mass everyday… never no bibles…”

Mary was a sinner by her own admission – Luke 1:47 – only a sinner needs a “Savior” – “And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.” Luke 1:46-47 (KJV)

Of the catholic church,

WP writes:

“What a Travesty that Mary and every Other Saint has a day devoted to Him or Her, yet JESUS Christ falls behind these others in Importance. Especially given JESUS Shed his Blood and Resurrected so we can be Saved.”

No such thing as a catholic who is born again. Stop all justification of this and help them get saved!

Catholic Church Exposed

Message Received from a Catholic:

I need some convincing. I would love it, if you would please cite a Bible verse or verses saying each of the following:

1) that Mary was NOT conceived immaculately
2) that Mary COMMITTED sin
3) that Mary WAS NOT assumed into heaven

Response:

Immaculate conception or immaculate deception? You have been grossly misled and are therefore basing what you believe on what mere sinful men have told you. The Bible is God’s Word and therefore, the more appropriate questions from His holy Word are:

Where does the Bible tell us that Mary was immaculately conceived? Nowhere.
That Mary was somehow not part of the “ALL” whom the Bible says “HAVE sinned.” (Rom. 3:23) “ALL have sinned.” Mary was not sinless. She admitted to the need of a Savior and only sinners need a Savior (Luke 1:47). Then she admits to being a mere handmaiden or servant of the LORD (Luke 1:48). So, Mary told us right there that she was not immaculate or sinless or a co-mediatrix.
Where does God’s Word ever hint that Mary was “assumed into heaven”? (fairy tale, a mere fable)

Question: WHY DIDN’T MARY HERSELF TELL US SHE WAS SINLESS IF SUCH WERE THE CASE??? Why O Why does Scripture never hint that Mary was sinless? You see, your religion is of the enemy of all souls and he is the enemy of Jesus Christ. So, he has and is directing your affection/attention away from the only One who can save you from your sins and hell – the nail-scarred, risen Savior, Jesus Christ. Only Jesus was sinless. He is unique in all of history and Satan does not want you to know Him.

Mary is never said to be excluded from being a sinner in God’s Word. To elevate Mary to the place of being sinless is nothing less than idolatrous and takes away from the uniqueness of Christ, the only sinless man ever after Adam and Eve before they sinned.

Whose sins did Mary or the Pope ever die for?

What Scriptures in God’s Word tell us that Mary was buried and raised again?

What miracle did Mary ever do?

What water did Mary ever walk on?

Whose blinded eyes did Mary ever open?

What lame person did Mary ever heal?

Did you realize that of the 27 books of the New Testament canon, that Mary is only mentioned in 6 of them? That means that 21 of the 27 books of the New Testament canon don’t even mention Mary once. Why? Because she played a small part in the plan of God as dozens and dozens of others have played throughout history. But there’s only one Mediator between God and man, one Savior of lost souls, one LORD of all lords and King of all kings, and His name is Jesus Christ.

JESUS says: “The thief (Satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10 You have not mentioned Jesus Christ even once, so in this alone we see you are being misled, no matter what feeling you seem to be having. This is pure idolatry.

Catholic Idolatry: Mary on the Cross

WHAT DID MARY HERSELF TELL US TO DO? “His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he (JESUS) saith unto you, do it.” John 2:5

IS MARY YOUR IDOL?

Why does the Catholic church want people looking to Mary instead of Jesus for salvation?

Why is glory stolen from Jesus and given to Mary?

WHY, WHY, WHY is glory stolen from Jesus and given to Mary?

If Mary plays a role in salvation, why didn’t God tell us so in His Word?

Did the Almighty and all-knowing, eternal God forget to tell us something we needed to know? Something important?

Who will you trust to save you? The Mary of church tradition, or the Jesus of God’s Word?

Why does the Catholic church so overemphasize Mary? Diverting attention from the very Son of God?

False prophet Pope Paul VI “constantly worked to increase the worship of Mary.”

WHERE DID JESUS TELL New Testament CHRISTIANS TO HONOR MARY?? – CHAPTER AND VERSE PLEASE.

WHERE DID THE BIBLE EVER SAY MARY WAS A PERPETUAL VIRGIN? IMPOSSIBLE. SHE WAS ONLY A VIRGIN TILL JESUS WAS BORN. SHE HAD AT LEAST 6 KIDS AFTER Jesus – IN MARK 6:3 THEY ARE NAMED.

As Usual, in Catholic Paganism, Mary is Lifted Above the Only Savior and LORD.

THERE IS NOT ONE VERSE IN THE BIBLE THAT INSTRUCTS NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS TO LOOK TO MARY TO PRAY FOR THEM OR BE A SOURCE OF ANY KIND TO THEM: There is not one hint of such in any verse of Holy Scripture. Did the Almighty and all-knowing, eternal God forget to tell us something we needed to know? Something important?

Who will you trust to save you? The Mary of Catholic tradition, or the Jesus of God’s Word?

Did the Son of God lie to us? Is He not the only “WAY” to the Father and to Heaven instead of eternal hell? If He is, that means Mary, the Pope, and the Catholic church have nothing to do with salvation and will only damn your soul to hell (there is no purgatory). Who will you believe? Jesus “I am THE WAY … NO MAN cometh to the Father but by ME.” (John 14:6)

Catholics will profusely argue that their religion doesn’t worship Mary, yet its theology and art work and the billions of dollars spent on statues of Mary prove otherwise.

The Catholic church and its pagan teachings are the most diabolical, antichrist system ever known to mankind. God describes in detail and tells us that He will destroy this wickedness in “one hour.” (Revelation 17-18)

Make no mistake: The WHOLE Catholic system is an antichrist system designed by Satan himself to misdirect the heart affections of the masses AWAY FROM the ONE who bled to save them on that cross. Jesus Christ alone can save. Mary was only a woman, a sinner.

There’s only ONE that can save from sin and eternal damnation and that’s Jesus Christ, the Son of God who died on that cross one time to pay the full price for the sins of all men. The Father spoke several times from Heaven telling us all of Jesus that “THIS is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17, etc.) God never said anything about being pleased in any other sinful person because only Jesus was sinless, divine, and qualified to pay the price for the sins of mankind. No one can or will be saved from sin and hell outside of repenting and putting their full faith in Jesus Christ who bled to redeem their wicked souls.

Romans 5
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

⁷For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

⁸But God commendeth (displayed) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

⁹Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

¹⁰For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”

If you die trusting the Catholic church, Mary, or the Pope, as sure as you are reading these words you will spend eternity in the lake of fire with no possibility of escaping. The Bible tells us that only those who call upon the name of the LORD will be saved. It’s only through Jesus Christ that you can be saved, not through a religion of mere sinful men who have no authority in the eyes of Heaven.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ¹¹For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. ¹²For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. ¹³For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13

—- AS a previously lifetime Catholic, upon truly being saved, my heart immediately knew that that system was of Satan. I like much of what David Wilkerson says but I do not agree with there being such a thing as saved Catholics because the Bible says “Ye cannot drink of the cup of the LORD and the cup of devils.” (1 Corinthians 10:21)… ALL idolaters shall have their part in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8, 27, etc.)…. in my opinion, if they had truly repented and gotten saved, they would have come out immediately….. Beware of this delusion friends….. any Catholic who truly repents and gets saved will immediately depart from that blasphemous darkness ….

The Catholic church can be summed up in one word – idolatry. The LORD’s very first commandment to us is “Thou shalt have NO other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3-4)

—- CAN A TRUE BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST REMAIN IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH? No true born again Christian would remain serving devils or amidst unrepentant devils. What does 1 Cor 10:21 say? No truly born again disciple of Jesus can continue fellowshipping with idols and devils and remain in Christ … “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” 2 Cor. 6:14 …

To say that a true Christian can remain Catholic is mixture and hogwash … To say such is to basically say that someone can truly be born again and also be simultaneously walking in complete darkness and not being led of the Spirit of God which would in every case lead them out of that antichrist cult (RCC) … The Bible states: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Rom. 8:14

— ETERNALLY long live the final authority of God’s Word. In fact the very reason God gave us His Word in written form is so we wouldn’t be scammed by false prophet religions like this one. “Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” (Romans 3:4) Is this phony “pope” a mere man? Of course. Hiding behind the sham of a long robe makes this phony antichrist sham no less a sinful mere man and a false prophet at that. The catholic church has no authority at all except in the minds of the deceived who do not know the LORD Jesus Christ. The Catholic church has nothing to do with Christ’s true church (called-out, born again people). The whole thing is false, regardless of whether it’s below or above ground. This Catholic church is all fictitious actually. It’s a fraud, a counterfeit. made up by sinful men to control the masses. They even call it “mass” when they call the cattle to come eat more poison. There is no such thing as a “pope” in the New Testament church. Peter himself never claimed to be such and was not called such until 3-4 centuries after he died as did the other apostles. No such office of a “pope” in word or concept is once named in God’s Word. Besides, God alone determines and has declared and had recorded what is right or wrong. Some old man in a costume sitting in Rome has no bearing on what is right and wrong other than in the minds of those deceived enough to think he does. Read 1 Timothy 2:5; 2 Timothy 3:16. God’s written Word is the final authority. Get a King James Bible and trash the idols.

Carmen Kuit-McGregor writes: “Truth is Gods Word in His Holy book the Bible. RCC worships and makes Mary Co-redemptrix, Idol worship, going to Pope and priests instead of Jesus Christ directly for confession of sins plus many more. God’s ordained “hierarchy” is God-> Jesus Christ ->man-> woman. When I became born again this was the first truth the Holy Spirit gave me through His Spirit of truth that Roman Catholic church is counterfeit Christianity. When you look into history and compare teachings with the Bible you will see His truth.”

Is Peter the Rock or is Jesus? CATHOLIC HERESY EXPOSED! [podcast]

The catholic church prides itself on traditions. “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.” 2 Thessalonians 2:15 When Paul spoke of “traditions” it was in direct reference to the divine truth he’d previously delivered to the believers at Thessalonica – which is now the written Word of God. The catholic church, laced and laden with completely un-biblical traditions, vainly attempts to claim their basis for such based on this one verse above. Laughable. Catholic traditions completely contradict the final divine authority of Holy Scripture. For example, can […]

Did Mary Die for Our Sins? [podcast]

Mary is just one of millions of people who have obeyed their Maker. That doesn’t make the immaculate conception heresy correct, that doesn’t make her anything other than a sinner, which she admitted (Luke 1:47). If Mary had refused to obey God, He would have simply replaced her (Esther 4:14). Did Mary walk on water? Did Mary tell anyone to pray to her? Is there even one prayer in the Bible to Mary? No. Did Mary raise the dead, open blinded eyes, heal the lepers, or die for anyone’s sins? No. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES THAT MARY IS THE MEDIATRIX/co-redeemer: […]

“Let Brotherly Love Continue” [podcast]

“Let Brotherly Love Continue.” Hebrews 13:1

“And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.” Ephesians 5:2

1 John 4

God Is Love

“7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.”

1 Corinthians 13

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”

The word “love” appears 311 times in God’s Word. It’s one thing to know the Bible. It’s another thing to know the God of the Bible. “Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.” Deuteronomy 13:4 This is why He created you – to know Him. “And this is life eternal (the whole purpose for it), that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3 The disciple has nothing more important […]

5 Aspects of the Mind of Christ [podcast]

5 Components of the Mind of Christ from Philippians 2

Jesus Christ made Himself of no reputation.
He took upon Him the form of a servant.
He was made in the likeness of men.
He humbled Himself.
He became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Philippians 2:2-10

“Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

At Gethsemane the death before the cross, before His death on the cross occurred.

“Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” Luke 22:42

“He became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” Philippians 2:8

Living in the mind, the disposition of Christ means you are truly following Him.

As Christ’s disciple, your devotion, your love is first to Him, then to your neighbor, not self (Matthew 22:37-39). You are commanded by the Savior to set self aside and to lift others above yourself—to prefer, to put God and others first. Those who do so, experience true freedom, liberty.

Being one with Christ, who gave all to save you, means your life is over—you now live to serve the LORD and others, not self (Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3).

Have you poured prayerfully over Philippians 2:3-5 today? If you will begin every day this week pouring prayerfully over this passage, asking the LORD to internalize it in your heart, God will begin to deeply instill the very “mind of Christ” into your innermost disposition.

Part of the dying…. IS GOD calling us to Himself, to forsake this world, including the attempt to save an unrepentant nation long in rebellion against Him – America?

Prayer: LORD, I want to walk in the disposition You walked in on earth. I will esteem You and others above myself. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Greedy, Covetous, and Beguiled! [podcast]

One man has wisely stated that “Greed and covetousness will damn more souls than all other sins combined.”

“Spiritual Blessings”

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” Ephesians 1:3-7

“If we are in Jesus we have the the unsearchable riches of Christ (Ephesians 3:8). Unfathomable (in our small minds), infinite wealth and spiritual blessings! Endless mercy, grace, and forgiveness. That is inexhaustible! Why do we need any worldly riches that will rot and corrupt our hearts!? Lay up in your hearts God’s riches! Which are eternal!” Karen Cochran

“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.” Mark 8:36

The only wealth that will last, forever, is that which is gained by obeying God in this life – thereby laying up treasure in Heaven (Matthew 6:19-21).

Got an “education” but going to hell eternally. Self-serving idolaters.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:10

America is full of those who claim to be saved and yet paid big money to get a piece of paper to get more money in this life and yet it’s clear that they’ve been serving money, mammon all along, not Christ.

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single (full of Christ, not covetousness), thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil (greed filled), thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 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 6:19-24

They’ve never repented and aren’t presently, literally serving God. This means they are hell bound.

“For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.” Ephesians 5:5-7

Real repentance or reprobate?

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 2 Corinthians 13:5

The souls of millions who think they are saved are going to be damned due to not being truly given over to the LORD they claim to know and be saved by. If their lives were truly given over, they would be helping others and the work of Christ to be advanced in this fleeting world.

Their covetousness – “I want this” or “I just bought that” – is telling on their wicked hearts (Luke 12; 1 Timothy 6). They are sinning away their day of grace as they live unto self and are rich toward self and not Jesus. They are “not rich toward God” to use Christ’s own words (Luke 12:21). Jesus promised these would be damned for their turning a dead ear and blind eye to the needs of others – “Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.” (Matthew 25:45) The light bills and rent/mortgages of some in-need Christians go unpaid. The pantries of some remain empty. True, New Testament ministries go unfunded …. and Why? – Because of the waste of millions who call themselves by the name of the One who came and gave ALL. They do not resemble Him which clearly shows that they are not following Him and merely rendering lip service to Him in order to deceive their own darkened hearts into the vain imagination that they are going to be with Him eternally.

Their GOAL is your GOLD, not your SOUL! Get a clue! Read 2 Peter 2:1-3; Philippians 3:18-19.

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.” 1 John 3:16-19

What you refuse to do (omission) when you see another in need, is indicative of who you are serving – self instead of the Savior. The Son of God says: “Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 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.” (Matthew 7:19-21)

“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16

The fruit of the Spirit and good works are the clear indication that one is truly saved (Galatians 5:19-24; Titus 3:8; James 1:22-27). If you are not literally a giver, the LORD is calling you to repent and obey God’s Word by giving up first your whole life and will to Him. Then, all you have in your possession will go to His glory in loving your neighbor. If all you have isn’t Christ’s, it’s time to repent and get saved friend (Luke 14:33).

Prayerfully read Luke 12 and 1 Timothy 6 every day for the next week.

Toni S. writes:

“Not just helping in ministry, but also the widows, poor, prisoners and fatherless. In addition, so many just hand their tithes over to a church pastor expecting Him to do this with their money. But what they end up supporting is not a ministry but a lavish lifestyle that many pastors live. People also donate money to ‘charitable” organizations without even researching where that money really goes too.” Toni S.

Wolves patty cake with you because they want your money and could care less about your eternal soul (Isaiah 30:9-10; 2 Timothy:2-4; 2 Peter 2:1-3).

“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. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And 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

“And who are we to support? 3 John 8 “We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.” Those who are devoted to the truth of God’s word! And are speaking the original gospel once delivered unto the saints Jude 3. Then we become fellowhelpers to them who are spreading truth. And actually participate in their ministry by giving to them. As opposed to bidding God speed to the deceivers and false teachers (2 John 9-11). We aren’t to support financially or participate at all in their ministry. Or we become partakers in their evil deeds and will suffer the same punishment as them. So we have a choice, participate in those preaching the whole truth and receive rewards (treasures in heaven) or participate in the deception of false teachers and suffer eternal consequences!” Karen Cochran

PRAYER: I here and now confess to You Father that I have been a self-idolater, I have committed spiritual adultery against You. I have not had You but rather myself first. Please forgive my sin, wash me clean, and fill me with Your Holy Ghost afresh. Circumcise this heart and replace the stony places with a heart of flesh. Bless this vessel to abide crucified with Thee and bear fruit, more fruit, and much fruit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Sending Up Treasures to Heaven “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35 You’re going to spend your life and energy doing something. Should it not be that which holds eternal value?
