Who’s lying? – God or John MacArthur? Is there any length MacArthur’s idolaters won’t go to justify this brazen, blasphemous wolf?

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  …  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 7:15; 24:11

It is profoundly befuddling how mere men like John MacArthur can stage their multi-million dollar “ministries” for decades, perpetrating doctrines of devils and be celebrated by those who falsely claim to love the LORD those wolves are blaspheming.

John MacArthur’s open denial of the BLOOD atonement of Christ. 100% demonic heretic.

“We are NOT saved by His blood.” John MacArthur

Great, Great, Great and convicting Message! If I was following this heretic after listening to this I would fall on my knees in repentance. I am going to share far and wide! So much of God’s truth here! As I shared yesterday, this truth on many social media pages was rejected. Only two seemed to listen and were convicted. Hallelujah for those true Saints of the Lord. All I could hear was many screaming ‘Give me a King!’ Just as the Israelites did in 1 Samuel 8 when they called for their own human king instead of the LORD. We don’t want Jesus. We want a human king who will tickle our ears and not give us the hard truths of God’s Word. And we know John MacArthur also taught OSAS. He has become an idol and most don’t want their idols smashed and are not valiant for the truth. Jeremiah 9:3. Thank you for this podcast that is filled with the riches of God’s truth. And most of all thank you that you are a man who is valiant for defending our Lord’s truth.” Karen Cochran

“Amen! Biblically rich video. Unthinkable how many are praising this blood denying heretic! This video addresses many excuses that I have heard his followers state for why they are defending him. I will be sharing on many pages. Thank you for defending the truth of God’s Word. He denied Jesus Christ by denying His blood atoning sacrifice for us! Therefore John MacArthur did not abide in the doctrine of Christ, and did not have God. 2 John 9.” Karen Cochran

Those who agree with SATAN by agreeing with (instead of exposing) his human agents, clearly prove they are Christ’s enemies.

“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

How we know John MacArthur is a Heretic

John MacArthur was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, 100% (Matthew 7:15; 24:11). Jesus and His holy apostles warned us!

It doesn’t seem that MacArthur could possibly be more of a wolf in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15). His own words betray him:

“The only importance the blood of Jesus has is that it showed He died. There is no saving in that blood itself.” John MacArthur

It doesn’t matter how many ways the MacArthur idolaters seek to cover this up or spin it, one thing’s for certain: NO man of God would ever utter these blasphemous words!

If as MacArthur claims, there is nothing special about the blood of Jesus, how is it that God’s Word informs us that we overcome the devil “by the BLOOD of the Lamb”?

“And they overcame him by the BLOOD of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” Revelation 12:11

Jesus was crucified, His body was killed, in order to “shed”— to pour out His blood to re-deem (buy back from sin) the world.

Satan is the master of deceit, of bait and switch deception and beguilement (2 Corinthians 2:11).

According to Holy Scripture, the redemption truth in God’s divine economy, is that the blood of Jesus had to be shed, offered on the altar of that cross for the sins of mankind and in order for that to happen, His body had to be broken so that that precious blood could be shed (Matthew 26:28). So, while John MacArthur places the emphasis on His death, the death of His body, God places the emphasis on the blood flowing from Immanuel’s veins as a result of His body being broken. And it was that “precious blood” of our LORD Jesus Christ that made an atonement, was the “propitiation” (the atoning sacrifice) that purchased, RE-deemed (bought) fallen mankind back to God.

It’s quite alarming that so many who are under the influence of Satan, are celebrating the life, “ministry,” and death of a brazen Calvinist heretic who denied the blood atonement of Christ and also said you could take the mark of the beast and still be saved. Unreal. | Calvinism is Diabolical Heresy

“The whole victory we have is because of the precious blood of Jesus. That alone and the atonement it gives is the centerpiece of Biblical Christianity. To deny the power of the blood of Jesus is to deny the message and ministry of Jesus Himself. ‘In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace ‘ (Ephesians 1:7).” Lynne Parker

“And the Word 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 

Decades ago John MacArthur stated the following: “Jesus Christ came to the earth, born of a virgin, incarnated into a physical body with physical blood, the blood of God, and that was the very life of His body.”

“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:9

Jesus came and lived a sinless life and died as a man to redeem man.

John MacArthur spent his life lying against, bearing false witness against the Almighty … and you think he’s in Heaven? I don’t!

Here are MacArthur’s own words:

“The only importance the blood of Jesus has is that it showed He died, there is no saving in that blood itself. We cannot say that the very blood of Jesus, His physical blood is what atones for sin, it is His death that atones for sin, His bloodshed was an act of death. And so we do not want to become preoccupied with fantasizing about some mystical blood that’s floating around somewhere. It is by His sacrificial offering of Himself. It is by His death that we are redeemed. Bloodshed is only the picture of His death.” https://www.gty.org/sermons/80-44/the-blood-of-christ

IF YOU STAND WITH BLASPHEMOUS ANTICHRIST HERETIC JOHN MACARTHUR, YOU STAND AGAINST, YOU BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THE LORD AND ARE HELL BOUND! You are an enemy of the cross of Christ (Philippians 3:18-19).

There is NO possible context in which this crass, antichrist denial of the efficacy of the “precious blood” of Jesus is justifiable. The man was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

“For we are not as MANY, which corrupt (retail, twist, adulterate) the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17

Twisting the LORD’s truth can be very subtle and insidious for sure. And when the most astute Bible teachers do such, it is the best possible weapon of Satan and the most difficult perhaps to discern and determine it is false. John MacArthur was dead OFF when he claimed there’s nothing special about the BLOOD of Jesus. God says Christ’s blood is “precious” and to go with John MacArthur is to go against Christ. 1 Peter 1:18-19

IF you are still living by sentiments and not truth, God is calling you to repent now – before it’s too late.

One man claimed I was exposing something that was merely a “theological difference.”

Only an apostate, antichrist gutless coward would call the denial of the very and “precious” blood of Jesus a “theological difference.” Astounding apostasy! The lack of conviction to embrace and stand up in and for the truth is proof that we are in the final days before Jesus returns.

Blood Atonement

From the GTY website itself:

“It’s heretical to call the blood of Jesus Christ the blood of God, and it demonstrates a failure to understand what theologians have called the hypostatic union, that is the God-man union in Christ.”

“It’s heretical to call the blood of Jesus Christ the blood of God.” John MacArthur

“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of GOD, which HE HATH PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN BLOOD.” Acts 20:28

To claim there is no life in the divine blood of the One who created and sustains and is the life, is heretical at best. The blood of Jesus is the very blood of God – “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE HATH PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN BLOOD” (Acts 20:28). Whatever you do beloved saints, study the BLOOD of Jesus without which no man can be saved (Hebrews 9:22). Follow Jesus not man. John MacArthur is a diabolical wolf. You heard him deny the precious blood of Jesus for yourself (1 Peter 1:18-19).

“IT IS THE BLOOD THAT MAKETH AN ATONEMENT FOR THE SOUL.” Leviticus 17:11

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not REDEEMED with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” 1 Peter 1:18-19

DID YOU CATCH THAT? – God calls the “BLOOD” of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, “PRECIOUS” and anyone who says otherwise, it a blasphemous heretic and wolf from hell.

“For it is the life of all flesh; the BLOOD of it is for the life thereof … for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof …” Leviticus 17:14

“For this is my BLOOD of the new testament, which is shed for many for the REMISSION of sins.” Matthew 26:28

“Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (atoning sacrifice) through faith in his BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the REMISSION OF SINS that are past, through the forbearance of God;” Romans 3:25

“Much more then, being now justified by his BLOOD, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Romans 5:9

“In whom we have redemption through his BLOOD, even the FORGIVENESS OF SINS:” Colossians 1:14

“And, having made peace through the BLOOD OF HIS CROSS, by him to RECONCILE all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” Colossians 1:20

“Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but BY HIS OWN BLOOD he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal REDEMPTION for us.” Hebrews 9:12 

 Jesus’ real, physical body had to be broken so that His “precious blood” could be poured out for the redeeming of mankind (1 Peter 1:18-19). Bible 101.

“There is no saving in that blood itself.” – John MacArthur

“He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the BLOOD of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Hebrews 10:28-31

Any professing Christian who is not deeply disturbed by any person denying, downplaying “the precious blood of Christ” clearly proves to be a lost soul who has rejected Jesus Christ, the only LORD and Savior by rejecting “the record that God gave of his Son” (1 John 5:10). It’s all on “record.” It’s all been recorded in God’s Word and anyone who denies, rejects, disregards, or does not embrace and believe God’s “record” about His Son, is an antichrist.

“What covered Adam’s sin? The fig leaves!? No, the blood of an animal because the nature of sin, its utter sinfulness always separates us from God, bringing forth death (Isaiah 59:2). Life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11). It is the blood that washes away our sins (Romans 3:25) Titus 3:10 says we are to ‘reject’ heretics like John MacArthur. For any person that overlooks the poison he mixed in his doctrine that has caused many to lightly esteem the blood by which Christ purchased (redeemed) his children. (Hebrews 10:29; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 1 Peter. 1:18-19).” Jon Crane

“Very alarming. All over social media people are praising this blasphemer! He is outright denying the Lord Jesus by saying there is nothing special about the blood of Christ. By supporting him they are bidding him Godspeed and will be partakers of his evil deeds! 2 John 11. A strong warning from our Lord! It is shocking how many are bidding him Godspeed. He was idolized! I can’t keep up trying to warn. He denied the Lord Jesus and most could care less. Why should that be shocking so many are denying Christ? They won’t even defend the One (Jesus) they claim to love! I have been shocked by the hoards of people praising this man. He has literally denied Christ. I posted and posted yesterday on these people’s pages who idolize him. He is a blasphemer but most don’t care that he is denying the precious blood of Christ. 1 Peter 1-18-19. The blood of Christ is the blood of God.” Karen Cochran

Clearly, those who defend John MacArthur, even after seeing his own blasphemous words against Christ, against the very and “precious blood” He shed for the sins of mankind, have MacArthur set up as an idol in their unrepentant wicked hearts.

“Not many love Jesus enough to care that His precious blood is being trampled on. Hebrews 10:29-31. It will be a fearful thing for them when they fall into the hands of the living God! “For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:29″ Karen Cochran

Any person defending this blasphemous demonic heretic proves to be an antichrist, a lost soul.

Isn’t it interesting how John MacArthur’s defenders come to his defense instead of coming to Christ’s defense … how they refuse to defend Christ? See Matthew 12:30.

If you defend this wolf, you will perish, you will go to hell with him (2 John 10-11). To side with and defend MacArthur is to call God a liar. Believe John MacArthur when he stated:

“There is no saving in that blood itself.” – John MacArthur

MacArthur refused to retract these words when confronted about them, which in NO context could be anything except false. No, instead, he rather doubled and tripled down on them. Pride.

Lucifer was forever vanquished from the presence of God due to his pride (Ezekiel 28:12-19). The same will be the case for all unrepentant rebels (James 4:6-10).

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18

“Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.” Proverbs 18:12

Out of this own wicked mouth (Matthew 12:34), John MacArthur was a false prophet, a false teacher – and therefore unless he repented (I personally doubt that), he has “damnation” in hell forever (2 Peter 2:1-3). Dear John MacArthur worshippers: Salvation is exclusively in Christ via His precious blood and not some mere man who ran a scam on the church world with his false ministry. Repent now. Stop defending this demonic wolf and start defending the faith of the original Gospel like God commands you to do (Jude 3).

Joseph B. Hebert writes:

“The Bible contradicts those who relegate the Blood of Jesus to being mere human blood—for Acts 20:28 calls it GOD’S Blood—which means that Jesus’ Blood was not human, but Jesus’ Blood was divine:

‘Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to feed the church of GOD—which HE has purchased with His own Blood.’

See how the pronoun ‘HE’ modifies or describes the noun ‘GOD”’ right in front of it? Thus, Jesus’ Blood was God’s PERFECT DIVINE Blood, poured out at Calvary’s Cross, to atone for man’s sins.”

REPLY:

Exactly. Bible 101. ALLLL human blood was contaminated after the fall. Christ’s blood had of necessity to be divine and the Bible says it was (Acts 20:28).

Jesus was all God and all man. He did not have an earthly father. He had the blood of God in His veins. That is the divine blood that would be poured out for the sins of the world for redemption on that cross. It was the only price that would satisfy the claims to the Father’s justice to redeem mankind.

All the very fullness of the Godhead dwelled in the body of Christ (Colossians 2:9).

Nothing but the BLOOD of Jesus can redeem, forgive, reconcile fallen mankind back to God.

Biblical Blood Atonement

“But John MacArthur had a vast knowledge of the Word of God!”

Yeah, so does Satan!

One saint pens the following concerning John MacArthur…. and I post it because I am personally familiar with what this disciple is saying here below:

“I love seeing the updates. I’m listening to the new podcast on John MacArthur you shared. I found out he allowed sexual abuse to go unchecked in his church too. There was a lot about him that people swept under the rug because they idolized him. That’s sad. I didn’t realize he was wrong until many years after following his ministry. He kept the abuser of his own daughter in ministry and put the daughter and children out of the church. There’s a lot of that going on today in churches.”

One writer notes:

“Slave (book by John MacArthur) is the best-seller among young Christians who are led to believe that the sources referenced therein are Christian books, or at least neutral historical sources. Theological heretics Dale Martin and Bart Ehrman are only two of many academics of the ‘Jesus Seminar’ variety whose scholarship is recommended without an honest identification or disclaimer to warn the reader. By concealing the identity and agenda of his sources, John MacArthur is deceptively promoting Gnostic books and the Gnostic heresy to many young Christians who are not yet established in the faith.”

“About 20 years ago when I was in Australia I saw a book ‘Hard to Believe’ by MacArthur that looked like a good read. I am SO glad I bought it because it opened my eyes to the horrible teachings of MacArthur who was unknown to me at the time. He claims in it that anyone who says that the Holy Spirit still heals supernaturally is a liar! Ravenhill said, ‘Christianity that is not supernatural is superficial’ and that’s the truth. I wrote to MacArthur and told him his book was going to lead many people to hell because he is claiming that the Holy Spirit is now powerless! Denying the power thereof! God doesn’t change – what MacArthur teaches is UNBELIEF! He is a false teacher just as Paul Washer is……like the Pied Piper leading many to their eternal deaths!” Clare

“I was at church recently and in one of the sermons John MacArthur came up. I mentioned to my daughter he is a false teacher. The deacon in earshot of me was upset about what I said. I mentioned what he said about him saying you can take the mark of the beast and be saved. So, the man said he repented for that. He told me he was one of his favorite preachers. I realized he is a Calvinist as well. So many people have his study Bible too. Many idolize him I have noticed. He was also OSAS. Not many people are willing to see the truth.” Dana Carter

The fact that John MacArthur was a Calvinist alone reveals he was a full blown heretic. | Calvinism Exposed

WARNING: There is a growing roving group of antichrists, a veritable brood of vipers (snakes), who are going around perpetrating the lie that “there was nothing special about the blood of Jesus.” Some of them are authors and/or in the ministry with large audiences. The most popular of which is full-blown diabolical Calvinist heretic John MacArthur who blasphemously stated: “The only importance the blood of Jesus has is that it showed He died. There is no saving in that blood itself.”

John MacArthur’s ministry is a cult following and we know that because they don’t care how many heresies he perpetrates, they still defend and follow him. Sad. “Strong delusion” is upon them for putting any man or doctrine above God and His Word (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

DO YOU personally understand that GOD says that all, every false teacher, every false prophet is going to hell?

“Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their DAMNATION slumbereth not”

WHERE do all false teachers, false prophets go when they die? Hell.

“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

“The Certainty of the Words of Truth” [podcast]


Nicholas, the Apostate Deceiver

Historians say that Nicholas (Acts 6:5), a deacon in the first century church, backslid, and led his followers to believe that living in sin would not affect one’s relationship with Christ. The term Nicolaitans is said to come from those who followed Nicholas. Nico-laitans is a compound Greek word. Nico means “to conquer,” and laitans means “the laity.” Satan used Nicholas to conquer his followers through the lie of lawlessness. The evil spirit of Nicholas lives on today through many lawless leaders who operate in the church world in this late hour.

Nicholas taught free love. He and his followers taught that the deeds of believers could not affect their relationship with God. This is antinomianism, which means lawlessness. The Bible clearly refutes such a lie as we will witness in our walk through the Holy Scriptures.

“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:19

“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 Bible states here, that those who “profess that they know God” and yet “deny him…in works,” are “abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”

By this lie of lawlessness, the enemy of souls conquered the people.

“But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans (means “conquer the laity”), which I also hate…So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.” Revelation 2:6, 15

Here is some modern terminology for this age-old doctrine:

  • Once Saved, Always Saved
  • Eternal security (unconditional)
  • Calvinism, perseverance of the saints doctrine

In Revelation 2, Jesus Christ tells us that He “hates” two things — “the deeds” and “doctrine of the Nicolaitans.” The Son of God despises the doctrine that teaches that the deeds of men have no effect upon their relationship with Him.

The Scriptures continuously reveal the divine hatred for the acceptance, and even doctrinal authorization, for living in the sins which the LORD tells us violate His holiness, reveal a wicked heart, and will prevent one from entering into the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, 27).

The word “lasciviousness” appears six times in the Bible and means “lack of restraint (from sinning); license for sin; licentiousness.”

To underscore the utter, divine hatred against this lie of lawlessness, it should be noted that this is the only place in Scripture where Jesus Christ, Himself, states that He hates something.

Though they may vary in packaging, these are all kin to the same lawless “ye shall not surely die” lie, which is the lie of the ages.

“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments  of the Lord your God which I command you.” Deuteronomy 4:2

“For ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.” Jeremiah 23:36b

“Thus saith the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord’s house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the Lord’s house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word.” Jeremiah 26:2

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19

“Hath God said” ?

Always remember that whenever you have someone casting doubt on God’s Word, words, you are dealing with a person who is under Satan’s control, is a rejecter of the LORD, and therefore His truth, and is a child of the devil. Every time.

Notice what we see Satan doing in the Garden of Eden just before he changed, altered, added one word to God’s words:

“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Genesis 3:1

Then, in verse 4 we read how Satan added just one three-letter word which changed the meaning of what God said and changed world history.

“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:” Genesis 3:4

“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis 2:17

“Thou shalt surely die” from God was then changed by Satan to “Ye shall NOT surely die.”

This is the first time we see what’s known as the “eternal security” lie. It’s also known as “once saved always saved” or “perseverance of the saints” heresy. Any person teaching or believeing this lie has partnered with Satan himself.

Knowing the certainty of the words of truth”

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
19 That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
21 that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?  Proverbs 22:17-21

that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth” – and how can we “know the certainty of the words of truth” if we aren’t even reading them – if we are not reading the preserved Word of God but rather a cheap counterfeit?

8 Classes of Sinners Guaranteed to Spend Eternity in the Lake of Fire [podcast]


8 Classes of Sinners Guaranteed to Spend Eternity in Hell

“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

“The second death”

[which is the second death] The second death is the lake of fire, or the second separation from God in hell (Rev_2:11; Rev_20:14; Rev_21:8).

Of Revelation 21:8, Adam Clarke writes the following:

Revelation 21:8

But the fearful – Δειλοις· Those who, for fear of losing life or their property, either refused to receive the Christian religion, though convinced of its truth and importance; or, having received it, in times of persecution fell away, not being willing to risk their lives.

And unbelieving – Those who resist against full evidence. And sinners, και ἁμαρτωλοις, is added here by about thirty excellent MSS., and is found in the Syrian, Arabic, some of the Slavonic, and in Andreas and Arethas. On this evidence Griesbach has admitted it into the text.

The abominable – Εβδελυγμενοις· Those who are polluted with unnatural lust. (sodomites, lesbians Romans 1)

And murderers – Φονευσι· Those who take away the life of man for any cause but the murder of another, and those who hate a brother in their heart (.

And whoremongers – Πορνοις· Adulterers, fornicators, whores, prostitutes, and rakes of every description.

Sorcerers – Φαρμακοις· Persons who, by drugs, philtres, fumigations, etc., pretend to produce supernatural effects, chiefly by spiritual agency.

Idolaters – Ειδωλολατραις· Those who offer any kind of worship or religious reverence to any thing but God. All image worshippers are idolaters in every sense of the word.

And all liars – Και πασι τοις ψευδεσι· Every one who speaks contrary to the truth when he knows the truth, and even he who speaks the truth with the intention to deceive; i.e., to persuade a person that a thing is different from what it really is, by telling only a part of the truth, or suppressing some circumstance which would have led the hearer to a different end to the true conclusion. All these shall have their portion, το μερος, their share, what belongs to them, their right, in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. This is the second death, from which there is no recovery.

“21:8 But not all are overcomers. Some are cowardly, afraid to confess Christ; unbelieving, unwilling to trust the sinner’s Savior; sinners, all those who remain in their sins, whether guilty of the gross iniquities listed here or not; abominable, given over to disgusting immorality; murderers, malicious and savage killers; sexually immoral, practicing fornication and other forms of sexual sins; sorcerers, those who traffic with evil spirits; idolaters, insulting God by worshiping images; and all liars, compulsive deceivers. These will be assigned to the lake of fire as their final destiny.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. … 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:10, 14-15 

One source notes the following:

“Brimstone and fire” refers to the fiery imagery of divine judgment and eternal punishment found in the Bible. It symbolizes God’s wrath, often describing the fate of sinners in hell, and is a phrase used in religious sermons and literature. “Brimstone,” an old word for sulfur, is a key component of this imagery, evoking a smell and heat associated with inescapable, fiery destruction.

Biblical origins

Old Testament:

The phrase originates in the King James translation of the Old Testament, used to describe God’s destruction of enemies. A key example is the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

New Testament:

The imagery is used to describe eternal damnation, a common theme in both the Old and New Testaments. In the book of Revelation, for example, it describes those who worship the beast being tormented in a lake of fire and brimstone.

Etymology:

The phrase is a calque of the Biblical Hebrew and Ancient Greek words for “sulfur and fire”.

Geological evidence:

Archaeological and geological evidence of sulfur deposits and charred formations in areas like the Dead Sea region have been noted as consistent with biblical descriptions of fire and sulfur-related events.”

“But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 8:12

The Purpose of Elders in Christ’s Body [podcast]


There is no more important work transpiring in the earth today than the work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 9:35-38; 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.).

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Hebrews 13:20-21

In short, the authentic under-shepherd ordained of Jesus Himself (John 15:16), will give up his life in this fleeting world for the sheep of Christ – just as the Great Shepherd of the sheep did on the cross. Such a divinely called-out man, will teach only God’s pure Word and watch for the souls of the LORD’s people (Hebrews 13:7, 17). He will take up the cross – live the crucified life – and therefore ministry will not be about them but rather about Jesus and His beloved sheep for whom He shed His blood and is soon returning (Philippians 3:17-21).

Also in Hebrews 13 …. The true elder of Christ will, according to Hebrews 13, do two things:

  1. Speak the pure Word of God to you and get you into it:

“Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation (their way of life).” Hebrews 13:7

2. Will in the fear of God pray for and “watch for your soul.”

“Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” Hebrews 13:17

In review, just WHAT are the earmark fruits of true under-shepherds as opposed to the many wolves among us?

  1. True under shepherds relentlessly teach God’s Word – who have spoken unto you the word of God.” (Hebrews 13:7)
  2. They are there for you! – they watch for your souls.(Hebrews 13:7)

IF they aren’t preaching God’s pure Word to you, fearing God, not you…. and watching for your eternal soul, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Repent and run to Jesus beloved.

Let me add that if they are using a fake “bible” instead of the King James Bible, that should be a clue to the darkness they walk in (Matthew 7:16, 20).

Elders are ordained of God and yet never to take His place nor to negate our own personal responsibility to seek God daily for ourselves. Yet, we do not need a preacher. Why? – because we each have a Bible. Read it. We don’t need a preacher to tell us what the Bible says! Read it for yourself, learning of the LORD yourself. Today is your day to take personal responsibility to seek God for yourself! Stop depending on a preacher or preachers. Devour God’s Word daily. Jesus taught personal responsibility and the essential nature of it when He said “Take heed to yourselves” (Luke 21:34-36) ……  Paul instructed Timothy to “Study” the Word (2 Timothy 2:15).

Today we have all around us church-goers who are not possessed with a heart after God, do not diligently study and read and live out Christ’s Word. This lukewarm, world-loving fruit clearly reveals the prophesied priesthood of wolves (1 Chronicles 16:11; Psalms 27:4, 8; Matthew 24:11; Acts 13:22; 2 Timothy 3:13; 1 John 4:1, etc.). Until a pastor has provoke you to get into God’s Word for yourself, to seeking His holy face daily in prayer, he has failed. If has has diligently, biblically sought to do these essentials, and people have refused God’s Word, refused to seek His holy face continually, the blood is off of his hands (Ezekiel 3:18-20).

“When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.” Ezekiel 3:18-20

When you check the fruit of a fellowship, check, discern if the individual saints are vibrant in Christ, diligently seeking His holy face, in His Word, living a life of prayer, denying self, taking up the cross daily, and following Jesus. This sounds like what we see of the earliest saints in the book of Acts, right? Boom. Remember how Peter preached and 8,000 were saved and how the Berean believers put Paul’s teaching to the Scriptural test? (Acts 2-4; 17:10-11, etc.).

Sadly, usually you see a bunch of people who are proud to be a member of a church with none of the biblical fruit list above.

The apostle Paul kept a close watch on those he oversaw.

“For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.” 1 Thessalonians 3:5

Having a physical “church” building makes no mere man, no supposed elder, an official representative of Heaven. Feeding the sheep of Christ with His pure Word and equipping them “for the work of the ministry” is the mark of a true under-shepherd of Christ (John 21:15-17; Ephesians 4:11-12, etc.). Discern. Beware. Inspect the fruit. Jesus nor any of His holy apostles collected a penny to build a building called “church.” No, they went to the people – to serve them instead of having the people come to them.

Let’s test that…. How many people do you personally know who are good church members, Sunday morning church attenders, and ALSO true, daily disciples whom God is using everywhere they go? Think about that…. How many true disciples of Jesus do you know who are involved in a Sunday morning church program? If you personally know even one true disciple, that’s a miracle and in spite of his attendance at the Sunday morning circus called “church.”

Unlike Christ’s apostle Paul, most in leadership today foster in their prey a dependence on THEM and their church business instead of prayerfully, biblically exhorting people to depend on Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5).

Like Christ’s apostle Paul, the true elder labors relentlessly to see you grounded in Christ – not in him or his ministry or church, but in CHRIST! Listen closely:

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6-7 

It simply doesn’t matter what else he’s doing, if any minister is not prayerfully, biblically, perpetually rooting and grounding you in Christ, he’s a fraud. Run.

Like Jesus and His holy apostle Paul, part of grounding you ever more deeper in Christ, is warning you to “beware” of the “many false prophets.” (Matthew 24:11)

“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:8-10

SO, he’s not exhorting and admonishing you to seek and know the LORD in an ever deepening fashion? He’s not equipping, maturing you “for the work of the ministry” and yet you still consider him one of the LORD’s under-shepherds? He’s not getting YOU into the Word (2 Timothy 2:15) for yourself? That’s a false leader who is entertaining the goats instead of feeding and equipping the saints! Run! (See Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6, etc.)

False leaders divert the attention, the heart affections, the resources, and the energy of God’s people away from Christ and simple obedience to His Great Commission mandate. YOU are personally responsible! Waste is rampant! If you support, “bid God speed” (2 John 7-11) to a false leader, false ministry, then you will perish with them!

The divine purpose for elders is not to dominate nor entertain the LORD’s sheep but rather to help their joy in Christ! Get to know this verse saints:

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

There is the citing of elders in the Word and their divine purpose – to humbly serve God by helping His sheep grow in the knowledge and grace of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-15; 1 Peter 5:1-6).

Christ’s apostle Paul desired the “perfection” (maturity in Christ) of the people of God (Ephesians 4:11-15).

“For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.” 2 Corinthians 13:9 

Like Apollos, Elders among God’s people must remain teachable to God’s Word and simply and only teach and preach his word (Proverbs 9:9; Acts 18:26). Elders true to the LORD act on his behalf and never out of a personal agenda for self gain (2 Corinthians 3:5; 4:5, etc.). They live the crucified life (Galatians 2:20).

We are to humble ourselves like Apollos did and learn the way of our God more perfectly from each other, via God’s Word – as Apollos learned it more fully from Aquila and Priscilla (Acts 18:24-28).

Beloved Apollos was a very effective, anointed communicator of God’s Word and yet, was in need of maturing, of being perfected. So, God sent to him an elder and his wife, Aquila and Priscilla. Apollos humbly received the LORD’s elders and His grace to grow in Christ:

“And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.” Acts 18:24-26 

The vast majority of “churches” that meet in “church buildings” are simply and merely conducting “church services” where they entertain their prey. They are not equipping the saints for the work of the ministry and therefore discerned as being counterfeit (Ephesians 4:11-13). If they were, there would be salty disciples in their midst who go forth to minister Christ’s kingdom blessings wherever they go. Not even a trace of this transpiring in the apostate modern church world. Run. Run. Run.

The Purpose of Kingdom Elders:

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

Philip Lye writes: “Paul says in Ephesians 4, that he gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. He expressly says these people are given to mature the saints, to equip them for their ministry and growth in Jesus Christ. Jesus tells us in Matthew 24 that many false prophets and messiahs will arise deceiving many. They are simply functions that God has given and not titles which the proud use to strut about like a peacock. Most of these people that I have met (and I have seen a lot of famous ones) are false, proud and arrogant and not servants of the the Lord Jesus Christ. I have seen humble genuine ones who move mightily in truth, calling people to repentance and right relationship with Jesus and a demonstration of genuine miracles and wonders. They are to be genuine servants to God’s people.”

VIEW this following verse from Solomon’s day in light of our calling and work till Christ returns:

“Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.” 2 Chronicles 8:16 

Let’s read a larger portion of this important passage in Ephesians 4. God fearing under-shepherds must prayerfully labor for and be intent upon seeing God’s people grow in the grace of Christ to the full stature of maturity He has ordained!

“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: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-15

The Error of Using Titles in the Modern Church World

God sovereignly and exclusively ordained MEN to feed, lead, and equip His saints (Ephesians 4:8-11). Women are called to and seen doing many ministry functions in the New Testament but never as a leader in a position specifically designated in Scripture for men.

Repent. The American “church” is a catastrophe of spineless moral-coward Ahabs who’ve allowed, suffered women to lead, and the fall out is incalculable (Revelation 2:20-24).

GOD’s men must never allow women to lead where they (men) are called to lead (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).

To put yourself under the ministry of a woman who is acting as an elder among God’s people, is to defy Christ, and to agree with Christ’s arch enemy and his Jezebels and to bring severe destruction on the people of God (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2; Revelation 2:20-24).

JUST because a woman can run her mouth and even genuinely have a gift of the Spirit DOES NOT mean she’s an elder in the body of Christ – which is divinely reserved non-negotiably for men, male elders (1 Timothy 2:11-12; 3:2). | Beware of Scripture-Twisting Jezebels

We must humbly confess before our LORD and God that we have nothing and are nothing without Him!

“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5

God can use us in spite of having a seminary or Bible college background…. If we will truly denounce it, lay it all down, and truly submit to Him – just like Paul did (Philippians 3). Otherwise we will join the epidemic of false prophets who build their own kingdoms in this fleeting life and spend eternity in hell (2 Peter 2:1-3). Paul counted his “higher education” as “dung” to know and serve Christ (Philippians 3).

BIBLICALLY SPEAKING, BY DEFINITION, ELDERS ARE NOT SEMINARIANS (UNLESS THEY’VE DENOUNCED SUCH) BUT RATHER PROVEN MEN OF GOD WHO HAVE WALKED WITH CHRIST FOR SOME TIME AND ARE SEASONED IN DOCTRINE AND GODLY CHARACTER AND ABLE TO HELP ASSIST OTHER BELIEVERS GROW IN GRACE (Philippians 3).

In part, we can be transformed in our thinking/perspective of what leaders are seen to be in the apostate modern church vs the biblical definition of an elder which is a humble servant with sound doctrine and a godly life (1 Timothy 3; 2 Timothy 3:10; Titus 1-2, etc.).

Christ’s kingdom ordination is not like the ordinations of many denominations….. To ordain seems to mean to recognize the work of GOD in a man’s life and to set him forth into ministry as by the leading of the Spirit of God.

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:16

ORDAIN

G5087

τίθημι

tithēmi

tith’-ay-mee

A prolonged form of a primary word θέω theō (which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses); to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from G2476, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while G2749 is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate): – + advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.

Total KJV occurrences: 96

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.” Acts 13:1-3

Denominations of mere men set their elders forth to do THEIR bidding, to perpetuate their own cause and existence, to build their false church businesse$. God fearing assemblies of the saints simply recognize Christ’s work in a man and prayerfully send him forth to do GOD’s work. They worship and exalt Christ whole heartedly!

MINISTRY is about feeding sheep, not entertaining goats (John 21:15-17). So, when you see a “minister” entertaining, you know he himself is a goat (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5).

What True Elders Teach

“For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:5

THERE is nothing good in us except Christ. We are not featured but JESUS is. “We preach CHRIST crucified” (1 Cor 1:23). All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags and HE is the One and only righteous Redeemer whom we communicate to others (1 Cor 9:16; Rom 7:18 etc.).

Jesus’ true disciples are crucified vessels who preach with His authority, unlike the lame leaders we have today (Matthew 7:28-29). True Gospel preaching rocks the world of those who hear it – it never coddles people in their sin. That’s the work of wolves! Beware!

Godly Elders Teach God’s People to Discern

“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” Ezekiel 44:23

Why don’t some leaders teach discernment?

“Anyone that profits off of you being blind, will never teach you or inspire you to see.” unknown

Any man in leadership who doesn’t warn you of false prophets as did Christ and His apostles, is a wolf who does not want you to see who he truly is.

God’s people are to continue to learn to discern – to test, to weigh all things against Holy Scripture. Ungodly elders have the “I said it so it’s true” notion. Or the “We’ve always taught that” or “That’s what we believe” philosophy. Not. What saith the Scriptures is what every true follower of Jesus asks, as he searches God’s Word to ascertain truth. Every student of Christ should become extremely familiar with Acts 17:10-11.

QUESTION RECEIVED:

“I am curious as to how one man is considered the other’s elder? Do they attend the same church gathering thus, he is a church elder or is it through willful submission of the younger as an understudy or simply due to the fact that one man is older?”

REPLY:

Great question brother. Elder, biblically seems to mean older and more seasoned in God’s Word, having walked with the LORD longer. Two views come to mind: 1. The organic body of Christ, the kingdom relationships we have, where there appear men in our lives who are seasoned and there’s an automatic elder/young relationship (that’s how it is here)… and 2. Where a person attends a church group and they have their elder in a more organized fashion as you mentioned…. that help?

Nothing brings definition to this like God’s Word as you know…. and notice how it begins with “The elders which are AMONG you”….

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” 1 Peter 5:1-6
