Demonic heretic Bill Johnson says that Jesus was a sinner and had to be born again.

“Did you know Jesus became a sinner for us and had to be born again?”  YouTube- Bill Johnson False Teacher, T. 3:48-4:55 (see video above) Bill Johnson Exposed

Out of his own mouth Bethel Church pastor Bill Johnson says “Jesus became a sinner for us and had to be born again.”

Show us where “Jesus BECAME A SINNER” or that the Son of God had to be born again in the Bible. Waiting…..

Only a sinner needs to be born again, regenerated. To call Jesus a sinner or say the Son of God became a sinner, is blasphemy. True born again disciples of Jesus have been washed from their sins in His holy, precious blood, the Son of God who is the “lamb without blemish and without spot:” (1 Peter 1:18-19)

We owe a debt we cannot pay
Jesus paid a debt He did not owe

“For the love of Christ constraineth (compels) us; because we thus judge, that if ONE DIED FOR ALL, then were all dead:” 2 Corinthians 5:14

Jesus was the prophesied Messiah, the Lamb of God, the perfect sinless Son of God and sacrifice (Leviticus 17; 1 Peter 1:18-19; John 1:29).

“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

Jesus did NOT have to become a sinner to redeem sinners from their sin. Anyone who believes that has no biblical clue of the sacrificial system, the shedding of the blood of spotless, unblemished animals that prefigured the shedding of the precious blood of the Lamb of God which came to take away the sins of the world (John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:18-19). The Word of God tells us that Christ’s saints have been washed “with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.Notice that Jesus was “without blemish and without spot” of sin!

Of this glorious passage in 1 Peter 1:18-19, William MacDonald writes:

“But they (born again believers) had been ransomed from that futile existence by a tremendous transaction. They had been rescued from the slavery of world-conformity by the payment of an infinite ransom. Was it by silver or gold that these kidnap victims had been freed (Exodus 30:15)?

1:19 No it is with the precious blood of Christ – like the blood of a perfect, unblemished lamb. Christ is a lamb without blemish and without spot, that is, He is absolutely perfect, inwardly and outwardly. If a believer is ever tempted to return to worldly pleasures and amusements, to adopt worldly modes and patterns, to become like the world in its false ways, he should remember that Christ shed His blood to deliver him from that kind of life. To go back to the world is to re-cross the great gulf that was bridged for us at staggering cost, but even more – it is positive disloyalty to the Savior.” William MacDonald, Believer’s Bible Commentary, p. 2255

Show us in God’s Word where Jesus “HAD TO BE BORN AGAIN” which would mean the Son of God was a sinner. Total heresy. ONLY a sinner needs a Savior and to be born again. The Savior who is sinless came to die for the guilty!

Any person who believes it’s okay for any person to bear false witness by saying Jesus was a sinner, became a sinner, or had to be born again, has no clue as to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and needs to be saved. “God was manifest in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16) – that’s Jesus – and how can God sin? He can’t.

“For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;” Hebrews 7:26

Jesus BORE OUR SINS – He’s not a SINNER. He bore our sin which means He became the sin sacrifice, NOT A SINNER. Eternity of difference on your belief or rejection of this Bible truth.

IF Jesus was a sinner, He wasn’t the Messiah, the spotless Lamb of God and His blood wasn’t “precious” and redeeming (Matthew 26:28; John 1:29; Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 1:15-16, etc.).

Any person who believes Jesus is a sinner or turned into one, is a lost soul, an antichrist.

Jesus was the ultimate sin sacrifice – NOT a sinner!

Scripture says God “hath made him to be sin for us” – not that He became a sinner. Jesus was the sin sacrifice, not a sinner. Eternity is in the balance (2 John 9).

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21

Doctrine doesn’t matter?

God’s Word says you are now lost if you do not continue in “the DOCTRINE of Christ” ….

“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not  God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” 2 John 1:9

Those who will not see in Scripture, believe, and declare that Jesus Christ is the sinless Son of God, are not continuing in “the doctrine of Christ” – the doctrine, the teaching of Jesus in divinely inspired Holy Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16). And the Bible says they do not have God!

On the divine authority of God’s Word: If you will not believe and declare that Jesus Christ was sinless, you are not saved. You are not continuing “in the doctrine of Christ” and you do not have God.

On this topic, one writer notes:

“Bill Johnson’s statement is not new. I heard it repeatedly decades ago by popular and not so popular individuals in the Charismatic Movement.

The fact is, Christ was the perfect sacrificial Lamb. In accordance with the Law, Israel put the sins of the nation on a sacrificial lamb. It did not mean that lamb would become sinful, which would be impossible. It was done so that the lamb could pay sin’s price, which was death.

Likewise, it was impossible that Christ would become sinful by our sins being “laid” on him. If that occurred, then He would not have been the perfect and sinless Lamb. Thus, He could not have become the perfect sacrifice.

It was Gods intent that His sinless Son would pay a debt that He did not owe, but chose to accept.

He was an innocent man voluntarily dying for innumerable guilty people’s crimes. That is the glory of the Gospel. That did not make Him guilty—it made Him a sacrifice, the perfect sacrifice.”

ANY person who agrees with Satan’s lie that Jesus became a SINNER (instead of the sacrifice for sinners), is not saved. Note v 10

“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 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 7-11 

Scripture says that Jesus, who is divinely, eternally “just” died for “the unjust” – the wicked (us)! Jesus’ perfect sacrifice paid the full price for man’s sin (John 19:30). It is Finished!

“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, THE JUST FOR THE UNJUST, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:” 1 Peter 3:18

Jesus died “that he might bring us to God.”

Jesus was the only sin-less man to ever walk the earth, the Messiah, the Lamb who was slain to redeem the fallen race, us, back to God.

“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” Hebrews 2:9 

Word of Faith heretic Kenneth Hagin said:

“The death of Jesus Christ was not a physical death alone. If it had been a physical death, Abel would have paid the price for mankind. He was the first man that died because of honoring God and His Word. If it had been a physical death only, it wouldn’t have worked! And if He hadn’t died spiritually, that body never would have died.” (What Happened From the Cross to the Throne, Tape #00-0303)

“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened (made alive, raised up) by the Spirit.” 1 Peter 3:18

—-  God’s Word tell us that God “hath made him (Christ) to be sin for us” and not that Jesus “became a sinner.” In fact, in the very next words, the Scripture reveals once again that Jesus is sinless – “who knew no sin.”

—-  The Bible makes it clear that Jesus Christ is divine, God from all eternity past, and was born of a virgin and sinless (Matthew 1:21-23; Rev. 1:5, 8, 18). These are absolute essential tenETS of the Christian faith. In fact, Christ was the only sinless person to ever walk the earth (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; 1 Tim. 3:16; 6:16; Hebrews 1:1-3; 4:15; 7:26, etc.). The only begotten Son of God is unique in all of history – He is simply matchless.

Jesus offered the perfect sacrifice as He alone could do – because He was unique in all of history, born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23). – Prophetically, the Holy Spirit through Isaiah foretold that Jesus “shall bear their iniquities.” (Isaiah 53:11) A sinless, perfect offering is the only sacrifice the Father could honor to satisfy the claims of His justice to redeem fallen mankind.

-Jesus “bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” (Isaiah 53:12)

“It is finished” means “paid in full.” (John 19:30) The sin debt, the breach made by man separated Him from our God who is “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) That debt was fully satisfied in the sacrifice of our LORD Jesus Christ, the ultimate price was paid to satisfy the claims of the Father’s justice to buy back/purchase mankind to Himself (Isaiah 53:11). He is “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29)

Jesus Christ was “separate from sinners” “For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;” (Hebrews 7:26)

And why did God send His sinless, only begotten Son upon whom He laid all the sins of the whole world? – “that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21) “And he is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:2)

In fact, in this very passage we are told that “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” (2 Corinthians 5:19)

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21

Modern diabolical wolves make it all about us and not Jesus! Run! 

Christology – the study of Christ – the grand Theme, the central Subject, Substance of the Scriptures (John 5:39-40, etc.).

If you will be planted deep into Christ, your Christology, your study of, your personal knowledge of Christ must be deep, not shallow (Colossians 2:6-10).

STOP for a moment and think with me …. There would be no Bible, no need for men to read God’s Word, if JESUS were not the central Theme of the whole Bible. Why? That would mean God would have terminated His creation project, His history with mankind, and so there would have been no need to redeem mankind by the sacrifice of His only begotten Son. But God, who “is love,” instituted His plan to redeem fallen man as soon as man sinned and fell (Genesis 3:15; John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:8, 16, etc.). There would be no need for a Bible for fallen man to read and find out about the Savior if God had ended the human race, right? Yet, He has carried out and is carrying out His divine plan of reconciliation, communicating through His Word, of which His only begotten Son, the eternal Word, is the Grand Subject, the Sacred Substance of the Scriptures (John 5:39-40; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.).

God’s Word does say that God “made him to be sin for us” which simply means God the Father put the sins of mankind on Jesus Christ in order to pay for the sins of the world. But of course it doesn’t mean (as the Word of Faith wolves teach) that Jesus become a sinner!

Christ was our scapegoat. This was the fulfillment of the prefiguring shown to us when the priests of God (Levites) would lay hands on the scapegoat – the goat of departure – and confess the sins of the people and send him off into the wilderness, amen Jesus! (Leviticus 16) Watch this picture closely friend:

“And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:” Leviticus 16:21

Jesus “knew NO sin.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)

Jesus Christ came in fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies that preceded him for hundreds of years. He was “the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” and as such of necessity, had to be spotless, sinless (John 1:29; Leviticus 16-17).

“He made him a sin offering, who knew no sin – A commendation peculiar to Christ. For us – Who knew no righteousness, who were inwardly and outwardly nothing but sin; who must have been consumed by the divine justice, had not this atonement been made for our sins. That we might be made the righteousness of God through him – Might through him be invested with that righteousness, first imputed to us, then implanted in us, which is in every sense the righteousness of God.” John Wesley

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” Leviticus 17:11

These animal sacrifices offered under the Old Covenant for the sins of God’s people merely prefigured that perfect sacrifice of Christ, the Messiah which was to come.

Jesus was the perfect Lamb – the unblemished Lamb of God. He was the perfect sin offering, not a sinner. Yet the Word of Faith movement teaches otherwise.

Heresy: According to Kenneth Copeland, Jesus had to “accept the sin nature of Satan.” (Kenneth Copeland, What Happened from the Cross to the Throne, side 2.)

“Nowhere in the Scripture does it say, God made Him to be a sinner’ but ‘He had made Him to be sin.’ This occurred by taking our place as a substitution. Contrary to Kenyon’s theology Jesus always was mortal in his human nature, and nowhere does Scripture say Satan became his master. God subject to Satan is not the teaching of the bible in any shape or form.” letusreason.org

Jesus of course, is “the Lamb of God, which TAKETH AWAY the sins of the world” in fulfillment of this illustration.

“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29

Isaiah 53

“Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

Antichrist

THE ANTICHRISTS ARE MULTIPLYING [podcast]


Jesus’ apostle John told us there were “MANY antichrists” in His day (1 John 2:18). THOSE FLAMING HERETICS WHO DENY THAT JESUS CHRIST IS GOD ARE ANTICHRISTS OF THE MOST PROFOUND DEGREE. SUCH REBELS DO NOT KNOW HIM. John the apostle also writes: “…Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life” (1 John 5:20,21). Read that again. Memorize it.

How can we know who the “many antichrists” are among us? (1 John 2:18)

“Antichrist” means against and in place of. An “antichrist” puts something in front of “the doctrine of Christ” given us in the record of Holy Scripture. They replace what Scripture records with something, anything else.

Doctrine – a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group.

The Eternal Word, Jesus Christ, “the Word was Made Flesh, and Dwelt Among Us.”

“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

God was manifest in the flesh. 1 Timothy 3:16

Since human blood had been contaminated by sin, of necessity it had to be divine blood shed for mankind’s sin – hence the prophetic utterances and fulfullment of a virgin conceiving by the Holy Spirit – and the Word, the “mighty God” Himself being made flesh to dwell among us and die for our sins (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; Matthew 1:21-23, etc.).

“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 

The biblical doctrine of the deity of Christ is simply that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh (John 1; 1 Timothy 3:16, etc.).

1 John 4:2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ IS COME IN THE FLESH is of God:

1 John 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ IS COME IN THE FLESH is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

2 John 7  For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ IS COME IN THE FLESH. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

“Immanuel”

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14 

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:23

Of necessity, perfect blood had to be shed to atone for the sins of fallen mankind and this required that God do such Himself – hence Jesus Christ, the Eternal Word, came to the earth, born of a virgin, and was God with us.” He alone qualified. No man, no sinner qualified (Isaiah 59:16; Ezekiel 22:30). There was no other way.

“And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.” Isaiah 59:16 

“And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.” Ezekiel 22:30 

Jesus Christ is God’s man to redeem man. We owe a debt we cannot pay. He came and paid a debt He did not owe.

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15

What does God’s Word say about the deity of Jesus Christ? – Jesus Christ is equal to and identical with God.

“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:” Philippians 2:6

“That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father (because the Son is also God). He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.” John 5:23

The Eternal God, the Word, was by a miracle conceived and born of a virgin – “A virgin shall conceive.”

“A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 9:6-7

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16

Three times the Bible tells us that “Jesus Christ IS COME IN THE FLESH” (1 John 4:2-3;  2 John 7). In other words “GOD was manifest in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16).

From the inception of the New Testament church, the antichrist Gnostics and Origen and other heretics taught that Jesus Christ was not God. The same evil spirit that possessed them possesses the modern antichrists who go about as a roving band to make twofold children of hell after themselves (Matthew 23:15).

You will notice also how these antichrists HATE the real Bible, the King James Bible. Why? The devil himself possesses them and it was the devil who empowered evil men to concoct the fake “bibles” so many today read – “bibles” which deny the deity of Christ. Here’s but one example of such:

1 Timothy 3:16

KJB: And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

NIV: Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

ESV: Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

NLT: Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith: Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit. He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory.

In this one example, we see here that the KJB clearly states that it was God who was manifested in the flesh while the modern translations obscure the passage by removing and replacing “God” with “He.” He appeared in a body? Well, just who appeared in a body? We’ve all appeared in a body. Come on now. Also, these are new age “bibles,” concocted by Satan, that are preparing people to receive the antichrist and so they had to steal the identity and glory of the real Christ!

What does it reveal to us that Satan’s children are attacking the King James Bible and the deity of Jesus Christ? Hmmmmm.

Whenever you see the most evil of Satan’s children hating these things, you can deduce that it’s Satan himself behind it all. And have you noticed that they make accusations without any evidence?


EMAIL RECEIVED:

“Since I’m still on your email list…. why are you mistreating women truthseekers on Facebook? It’s very disturbing. You are insulting the spirit while claiming you are 💯 without any theological error. YOU ARE WRONG.

Your beloved KJV has errors. I just went through that eye opening study. Holy GHOST 👻??? This is a serious mistranslation among hundreds of others. The TRINITY? The anointed Messiah Christ King Jesus did not claim to be the Almighty. There is ONE God who can’t die or be tempted and is not a man.

At least treat other believers with more respect, drop the pride and study YOUR BIBLE again. You are absolutely NOT getting it all right.

In truth,” Jennifer

REPLY:

Communicating God’s truth, Word, is not “mistreating women” or men or anyone else. Yet you are using this occasion to make this look sexist? Truth is only “disturbing” to you because you are a vile, demonic heretic who wouldn’t know Jesus if He stood in your rebellious face.

God is calling you to repent.

You are an antichrist…. For denying the deity of Jesus Christ.
Repent now sinner.

JESUS SAYS:
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, THE ALMIGHTY.” Revelation 1:8

Jesus Christ is God – and anyone who denies such is the most evil of antichrists. | See Jesus Christ is God

To be saved, one must repent and believe on Christ according to “the record that God gave of his Son.”

“He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.” 1 John 5:10

Rebels love butchered, toned down, satanically stripped fake “bibles”. The King James Bible uses “Holy Ghost” and because they’ve been demonized to ridiculously think that the word “ghost” always refers to demons. They are trained by Hollywood and so they can’t understand that He, the Spirit of God, is the “HOLY Ghost” and not any other ghost, spirit. There are spirits, evil spirits, and there is the “HOLY Spirit.” She foolishly conflates and assumes any and all spirits are unholy. Not.

“Holy Ghost” appears 183 times in God’s Word. Yet as you will see for yourself, this antichrist woman, who denies Jesus Christ is God, has foolishly listened to antichrists and pretends to know better than the unspeakably educated scholars who translated the King James Bible as they were guided by the Holy Ghost Himself – in fulfillment of the prophecy of Psalms 12:6-7. See 2 Peter 1:19-21.

You will notice that she doesn’t even respect the LORD enough to capitalize “Spirit” as in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost. Take a look.


“The antichrist spirit is strong in that woman. Just plain nonsense in her comment. She made it clear who her god is and it’s not Jesus Christ or the Father. She doesn’t even know who the Holy Spirit is.” B.

Keep in mind saints that people like Jennifer, above, have been sent “strong delusion” from God Himself for not loving His truth (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). This is all “after the working of SATAN” himself. When you read this important passage, you will witness how God actually takes it personally when people do not receive the love of His truth.

Some Gnostics adamantly deny that the supreme being, God Almighty, came in the flesh, claiming Jesus to be merely a human who attained enlightenment through gnosis and taught his disciples to do the same.

One writer notes:

“Make no mistake, however: There are professing Christians who reject essential doctrine about the person and work of Jesus Christ and who can therefore rightly be labelled heretics. I recently read a two-views book, which centred on the question of whether or not Jesus is God. Both writers claim to be Christian. Both, in fact, claimed to be evangelical Christians. By his rejection of Jesus Christ as divine, however, one of the authors negated his claim to being Christian. Christians do not reject the divinity of Jesus Christ. But that is exactly the error into which the Gnostics fell.

The Gnostics ‘denie[d] that Jesus is the Christ.’ John and his fellow apostles preached Jesus as the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. The Gnostics rejected this teaching and, as such, minimised the biblical teaching on the person and work of Christ. And their teaching invalidated their claims that they were Christian.”

John did not consider these Christ-denying “antichrists” to never have been Christians. No, they only departed from the body of Christ because they departed from the faith which Scripture tells us some would do (1 Timothy 4:1). Instead he says that “they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us” (1 John 2:19).

They only departed from the true believers because they chose not to “abideth (does not continue) in the doctrine of Christ” and the fact that Jesus Christ the Messiah is God is abundantly obvious from Genesis to Revelation. See Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; Micah 5:2; Matthew 1:21-23, etc.).

2 John 9 is key. Memorize it.

“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth (remains) in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 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 9-11

Nothing could be more integral concerning “the doctrine of Christ” than that He is God Almighty. Any person denying such is a child of the devil, 100%.

In 1 John 2:19, interestingly, the word “never” does not appear in this verse above which is so often used to “prove” OSAS. Let’s read it again with an objective mind. And, also remember what Jesus says about the primary importance of His teaching of the seed and the soil, the sower and the Word:

“And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?” Mark 4:13

Warning Concerning Antichrists – Read this Closely

1 John 2:18-27

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 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.

Mission Mexico Part 26

Our LORD is Changing Lives here in Mexico

Last week our brother in Christ Vicente had a financial need and you met that need for Vicente and his family.

I brought him the money and he was… absolutely elated. He had been telling me about this pretty serious need for a few weeks. Finally I brought him the money he needed. God is able amen saints.

Update: Vicente update: I ran into our brother Vicente this morning and he was ministering to some men who were a work crew right outside of his restaurant on the street. I quickly handed him about 40 JESUS tracts and he began passing them to the men. Going to be supplying Vicente with more of the JESUS tract in Spanish soon.

Our brother is super overjoyed for the help he received to get his family vehicle repaired.

Jesus is God.
He’s coming.


More on the ministry to the Spanish speaking peoples of our LORD’s world! In the fellowship with the Florida group, a dear lady named Hilda repented and received Christ. Thank you for thanking our LORD for saving her and for His perfect will to be done in Hilda’s life. Phil 1:6



Excellent fruitful ministry time with Alex today. He’s also been sent the Born Again book in Spanish (PDF). Would you like to pause and ask God to bless, to save this man? (Ps 2:8; Acts 3:26)

“Matthew 5:3! No one wants to be in a humble state of submission in America. Even the so-called Christians! And be needy and weak. Like a little child. They pride themselves on all they can do. And why do I need God I can do it myself! This is why I love hearing testimonies of the people of Mexico who are poor in spirit, meek and humble! Without this you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Karen Cochran



Thank you for lifting in prayer the Mexican people – that many more will be saved and established in Christ (1 Timothy 2:4).
