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

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:5-6

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).

Christology

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.”

Being Crucified with Christ Assures that we will Preach His Word.

Why do people get weak and compromise, and faint in the battle?

“If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” Proverbs 24:10

How to go from “small” “strength” to much strength

How to get built up, to be “nourished up” …..

“praying in the Holy Ghost.”

“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.” Jude 20

“nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine”

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.”1 Timothy 4:6

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly” – running rich on the divine fuel of God’s Word.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

“For I am the LORD, I change not.” Malachi 3:6

“Our love to the word of God is evidence of our Love to God”. Matthew Henry.

God, and therefore what He’s stated are unchanging, unfailing, everlasting, ever-living and ever-relevant.

The LORD would and will never contradict His own Word.

“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalms 119:89

“My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.” Psalms 89:34

The LORD’s Word cannot and will not change because He will never change. Divinity, eternal perfection, needs no change.

“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31

The Word of God is the authority of God – the very “thoughts of his heart.”

“The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.” Psalms 33:11

Jesus called the Scripture the authority of God.

“Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:” Luke 11:49

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47

“If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;” John 10:35

To a man speaking of the “walking according to the present voice of God” the following reply was given:

Yet you speak of the “present voice of God” which is concerning. Has anything God has ever stated even minutely diminished? No. Impossible. God is unchanging and therefore so is His written Word. Ps 89:34; 119:89; Mark 13:31 …. Psalms 119:105 is the way we walk in the Spirit. The leading of the Holy Spirit can never be separated from the written Word. “God is not the author of confusion” and so will never contradict Himself (1 Corinthians 14:33).

Every part of His creation is changing, yet He is forever Constant.

“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” Isaiah 40:8

What God has stated in His Word will come to pass and has no expiration date.

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail.” Isaiah 34:16

As seen from the inception, in the very Garden of creation, Satan wants the “foundation” …..removed or diminished.

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalms 11:3

“that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.”

“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:24-29

Building the house of our lives on the Word, the only sure, eternal foundation.

“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.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.” Matthew 7:19-29

May He bless His children to be strictly and inseparably cemented in and to His Word amen!

“The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.” Psalms 33:11

Have you ever pondered why there is little or no Scripture being used when listening to someone pretending to be speaking about the LORD? You should wonder (Matthew 7:16, 20; 1 John 4:1).

Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Isa 8:16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

“Preach the word” is the divine mandate, command (2 Timothy 4:2).

Let us cease to pretend that we represent the LORD when everything we say isn’t coming straight out of His Word. Read that again please. He didn’t instruct us to entertain or to tell stories. He commanded us to preach HIS Word. King James Bible.

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11

Think God is calling you to serve? Good. If He has saved you, He has called you (Ephesians 2:8-10; 4:7). Get lost in His Word every day (Jeremiah 15:16). Read it (Revelation 1:3). Study it (2 Timothy 2:15). Memorize it (Proverbs 4:4). Meditate upon it day and night (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1). THAT’s your prep for ministry, not going to an antichrist seminary. Jesus inducted you into His school of the Holy Ghost and Word the moment He saved you.

Are you daily devouring God’s Word, OR are you backsliding?

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

Speaking the Word of God in the Crucified Life.

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3

It’s only those who choose NOT to love the truth who remain in darkness. Speaking of the “man of sin” (v3) to come and also all men, God’s Word states:

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED NOT THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

When one turns his heart to the LORD, the darkness, the blindness subsides:

“Nevertheless when it (the heart) shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 3:16-18

Will you love darkness or will you turn to God in repentance and love “the light of the world” Jesus Christ and His truth?

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:19-21

Prayer: Holy Father, I know You are unchanging, and Your Word is settled in Heaven. Thank You so very much for giving us Your unalterable Word, for preserving it for us. In Jesus’ name, amen.

“God is love” and God is “Holy, holy, holy.” (1 John 4:8, 16; Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8)

He loves us. Fact.

He is holy. Fact.

Do we love Him?

Such will determine our eternal destination.

“And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” Mark 12:33

Choosing to love God with….

“all the heart”

“all the understanding”

“all the soul”

“all they strength”

“We are commanded to love God with all of our heart, soul, and mind (Mat 22:37). That means a total surrender of all that one holds dear, including yourself. It is a command from the LORD to love God with every fiber of our being and to have Him as our first love. This means a wholehearted devotion to Him, and Him alone. Let your heart be the dwelling place for the Lord.” Karen Cochran

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27

“IF”

“But IF we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”1 John 1:7

“IF we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

“Continually”

Are you personally, intimately familiar with the words of Holy Scripture found in Ephesians 5:25-27? “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave […]

America’s Path to Destruction According to Holy Scripture [podcast]

Sadly, so many today, who claim to be Christians, spend more time, money, and energy seeking to save the sinking ship called America (a corporation under which they are slaves) than they do obeying Christ’s Great Commission command to teach His Word and preach the Gospel to the lost (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20). They have chosen America over the LORD (Matthew 6:24; 12:30). So very man “church” members and yet Jesus Christ is not their “first love.” (Revelation 2:4-5) Patriotism is their idol, vainly believing they can vote away divine judgment. Most of their time, money, and energy is wasted on the futility of the temporal. Nothing will save America – no campaign, political party, voting block, or otherwise. God is judging America. It’s over as we once knew it.

God judges nations and has a timing, a frame of time, an “instant” including a beginning and ending point, where He judges nations (Jeremiah 18:7). And America is under His judgment, and it going to get much worse (Jeremiah 18).

America is under Divine Judgment

“This is exactly where we are! Things are about to wax worse and worse in this country! Jesus warned us a greater tribulation is coming (Mat 24:21). This world is becoming darker and darker. It will be a challenge to all who put their faith in Christ. Will our faith stand in the midst of severe persecution (1 Peter 1:6-9)? God will try it in the fire, subjecting it to intense heat. The ultimate goal is to purge out all unbelief and impurities. The genuineness of our faith can only be proved in the fire. During hard times of tribulations the lukewarm will drift away, but genuine faith will endure! And the reward will be final salvation (Mat 24:13).” Karen Cochran

The ultimate reason America is being destroyed is not, as some imagine, due to “bad leadership.” No. America is being destroy from within and without due to the rebellion of its people – the sin against God and refusal to repent. Read Jeremiah 18 and Isaiah 1.

Destruction Comes when leaders are allowed to pervert justice!

“The heads (leaders) thereof judge for reward (take bribes), and the priests (religious leaders) thereof teach for hire, and the prophets (religious leaders) thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. 12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.” Micah 3:11-12

Government Servants and Bribes

“The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts (bribes) overthroweth it.” Proverbs 29:4

Inflation Revelation 6

“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” Revelation 6:6

Excessive Inflation is judgment.

“They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.” Ezekiel 7:19

Timeline of Impending Doom

Someone is saying “But brother I’ve been listening to dreams and prophecies people are getting about our nation.”

Our hearts can deceive us (Proverbs 28:26; Jeremiah 17:9). We can only be fully “sure” by reading, studying, and knowing the “MORE SURE WORD of prophecy” which is the Holy Scriptures (2 Peter 1:19-21).

“God’s judgment is upon America. We have become Sodom’s sister (Ezekiel 16:46). It’s pride that has rooted itself in the hearts of the American people. And what brings destruction upon nations? Pride! Those who love Him will be looking for a new heaven and a new earth. This world is not our home.

This podcast nailed it biblically! America is defiled, clear to the core, with shocking wickedness. Are we ‘MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH’ ? (Revelation 17:5)? Is the United States the entity ‘having a golden cup’, luring people in by saying “We are the greatest country on earth’ ? (Revelation 17:4) Although we may look appealing because we are supposedly a wealthy country, we are full of abominations, rebellion, sin, pride and full of blasphemy against a holy and righteous God!

We are experiencing His wrath. A nation cannot parade around saying it is ok to change your sex, cut off parts of little children, kill babies up to birth, kill their very own family members, teach pornography to children, mock God, reject the gospel and not expect judgment to fall!” Karen Cochran

THE DISCIPLE OF JESUS SHOULD VIEW HISTORY, INCLUDING WHERE A NATION STANDS THIS DAY, BY “THE MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” WHICH IS THE HOLY SCRIPTURES (Isaiah 46:9-10; 57:15; Romans 15:4; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

Looking at the USA through the lens of Scripture is what is important. We have murdered over 60 million precious innocent babies and called it “choice” but God calls it murder and commands us “Thou not kill.” (Exodus 20:13). The US is over and has been for a long time, as we once knew it. Military men: This isn’t the same USA you and I both signed up to serve. This isn’t the same USA we were born and raised in.

This list of sins in the above passage begins with these 3:

PFA = Pride, Fulness of Bread, and Abundance of idleness.

The Sins of Sodom:

Sins Jerusalem cited for in Ezekiel 16:49-51:

Pride (arrogance),
Fulness of Bread (gluttony, hoarding),
Abundance of Idleness (idle, lazy),
did not help those in need due to preoccupation with self-worship (not generous in spreading God’s wealth to His people and work)
haughty
committed abomination (rampant fornication – just as in the days leading up to the Noahic flood. See Genesis 6)

In the bulleted sins listed above from this revealing Ezekiel 16 passage, did you notice the progression?

Though it culminated in sodomy, yet not one sex sin is even specifically mentioned in this list of Sodom’s sins in Ezekiel 16. Does this not align perfectly with the judgment we see in Romans 1, how “when they knew God, they glorified him not as God” and were unthankful, further enriching themselves while they ignored others?

“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful (they were ungrateful); but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” Romans 1:21

A fresh reading of Romans 1 reveals the root sins that preceded the sexual sins which immediately go before divine judgment. See Romans 1:18-32.

The sins that darken the hearts of those who once “knew God” and lead to the ultimate abomination of sodomy/homosexuality are pride, gluttony, idleness, and refusing to be generous givers to believers in need, etc.

Let’s Look Again at the Root, the Gateway Sins of the People of Sodom and Gomorrah:

PFA listed in Ezekiel 16:49-51:

Pride (arrogance),
Fulness of Bread (gluttony),
Abundance of Idleness (idle, lazy),
Like the fake religionists priest and Levite of Jesus’ Good Samaritan teaching, they did not help those in need due to preoccupation with self-worship (not generous in spreading God’s wealth to His people and work)

“The deceptions are growing stronger and becoming greater in number, leading us to the ultimate deception which is the antichrist! Beware, that if possible even the elect will be deceived (Mat 24:24). See 1 Corinthians 10:12.

“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”

“America’s root sin is pride. They call us the greatest country on earth. We celebrate gay pride. American’s trust in their pride. We have pushed God out of every part of society, yet still believe in our pride, He is blessing us, because after all, we are the greatest country on earth! We are arrogant and boastful in the power of our own might. Trump has recently built a golden alter to himself and I have seen some pastor’s bowing down. We no longer fear God! God’s judgment is falling, from heaven, upon us! He will spare a remnant just as he always promised in the OT! Faithful believer’s who only bow to Him, seeking His face, keeping themselves unspotted from the world, and remaining pure and clean. Those are His true remnant will be given the fountain of life and never thirst again (Rev 21:6).” Karen Cochran

HERE’S WHAT BEING FULFILLED, WHAT’S COMING TO PASS RIGHT NOW

“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:10-14

In the midst of the prophesied great apostasy we are in, Christ’s Remnant are…

Waxing hotter in their love for God v12
Enduring to the end v13
Preaching Christ’s kingdom Gospel to the lost v14

The FORGOTTEN Sins of Sodom [podcast]

What were the Real and Root Sins of Sodom? Explosive! DO YOU KNOW WHAT SINS THE BIBLE CITES OF THE PEOPLE OF SODOM WHICH CAUSED DIVINE JUDGMENT TO FALL ON THEM? THIS LIST OF SINS MIGHT SHOCK YOU. EXPOSING THE GATEWAY SINS TO SODOM’S DESTRUCTION Sodom’s sins were pride, gluttony, and laziness, while the poor and needy suffered outside her door.
