Are there Sins
that will Damn the Soul?
Does God’s Word cite specific sins that damn the soul? Yes!
To a defender of Satan’s eternal security/OSAS heresy who was teaching that we are saved by grace and therefore sin cannot separate us from God, this following reply was given:
Saved by grace means one can then live in sin? Wow! Did God cease to be “Holy, holy, holy” in His divine nature because He originally saved high and mighty you? You are clearly teaching the perverted, lascivious (license to sin) version of grace that Jude warned us “ungodly men” would teach (Jude 3-4). Repent sinner. There are several lists of soul-damning sin in the New Testament, warning us that God who is “Holy, holy, holy” will damn all who die in sin (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8; 21:8, 27). You have allowed evil “ungodly men” to poison your mind and disobeyed God by not seeking Him, knowing Him by His Word for yourself (2 Timothy 2:15). OSAS/eternal security is the doctrine of moral cowards, spiritual cowards, who refuse to truly repent, lay down their lives, and follow Jesus for themselves. You are peddling Satan’s OSAS heresy and God is going to judge you if you don’t repent and cease (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
If there were a list of deadly sins which are sure to damn your soul to eternal hell, would you want to know about that list? Here’s a list of 17 soul damning sins:
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are THESE; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things SHALL NOT inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21
Because of His abundant mercy, lists of specific sins that provoke the LORD to anger are listed in Holy Writ. This is in order to warn men and bless them to escape His sure judgment to come on those who walk in such rebellion.
Let’s observe a brief definition of the 17 manifestations of the sinful nature listed here in Galatians 5:19-21 – a much neglected text:
Adultery – looking on another to lust (in person or via technology); unlawful relations involving a married person. Adultery is defined in Scripture as any sex involving the heart and/or body that is outside of holy matrimony where God designed it to be enjoyed between one man and one woman (Matt. 5:28; Heb. 13:4).
Fornication – every and all forms of illicit sexual activity, whether in thought or deed. Any sexual activity outside of holy matrimony. GOD invented intimacy for married couples only – one man and one woman. All fornicators will be damned (Hebrews 13:4).
Uncleanness – anything opposite of purity; all forms of sexual impurity.
Lasciviousness – licentiousness, lust, lewdness, unchastity. Anything promoting or inciting sexual lust; lack of restraint.
Idolatry – image worship. This includes anything other than the LORD upon which the affections are passionately set.
Witchcraft – sorcery. The practice of dealing with evil spirits, magical incantations, casting spells or charms by means of drugs or potions to inflict harm on another. Witchcraft includes the evil manipulation or control of others by any means.
Hatred – enmity, bitter dislike, malice, abhorrence; tendency to hold grudges against or be angry with another.
Variance – discord, dissentions, quarrelling, debating and disputes.
Emulations – striving to excel at the expense of another person; seeking to surpass or outdo another.
Wrath – rage; determined enduring anger; fierce indignation with turbulent passions.
Strife – disputations, strife about words, angry contentions; vindictive endeavor to repay another evil for evil.
Seditions – parties, factions; stirring up strife among people.
Heresies – the rejection of truth for fallacy; departure from divinely revealed truth.
Envyings – ill will toward another’s good will.
Murders – to kill or mar the happiness of another.
Drunkenness – intoxication from the overuse of alcohol.
Revellings – rioting; lascivious and boisterous feastings including obscene music and other sinful activities; carousing.
These are the exact soul-damning “works of the flesh” the apostle Paul speaks of in this same passage when he declares that “they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” (Gal. 5:19, 24)
Regretfully, in this hour of great apostasy, scarcely do we hear leaders tend to this divinely-inspired biblical doctrine. Why is this vital part of the Bible intentionally avoided by so many? Has your pastor taken you through these lists of defiling sins in Galatians 5 and Matthew 15? Why would any truth-seeking servant of Christ want to purposely evade such an important portion of Bible truth? Why would any true under-shepherd not want to prepare and warn those he speaks to concerning the judgment of the Almighty upon all who do not repent of sin?
The LORD spells out in detail what He considers unlawful sexual relations. Put on your seatbelt. Read Leviticus 18. “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22) Any sex outside of a married MAN and his wife, a WOMAN, is fornication. Soul damning. It doesn’t matter what you think. Your opinion is less than zero in the eyes of a holy God. Repent now and follow Jesus or perish.
Homosexuality, sodomy, lesbianism is NOT under grace – Never has been, never will be. God doesn’t bless or justify what He calls an abomination (Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1). Repent now sinner – or you are going to hell for calling your Maker a liar!
Stop the excuses and human reasonings and justications and just read God’s Word.
As a result of such empty leadership, so many today who fully believe in their own minds that they are saved, will not be in Heaven (Matt. 7:21-23; 25:1-3; Lk. 6:46). They want to make up their own rules partly due to the epidemic of false leadership that refuses to acknowledge this text. Yet, it’s interesting because most men in leadership tend to the very verses following this Galatians 5 passage but refuse to delve into the divinely-inspired contents of verses 19-21 of Galatians 5. Most men will read or preach and acknowledge the nine dimensions of “the fruit of the Spirit” and yet refuse to deal honestly and openly with the LORD by tending equally to “the works of the flesh” in this same exact passage (Gal. 5:19-23). This is tragic and yet the LORD holds each of us personally responsible to know and obey the contents of His Word (Hos. 4:6; Jn. 5:39; 2 Tim. 2:15; Heb. 5:11-14; 1 Pet. 2:2).
If God’s very Word clearly tells us in this Galatians 5:19-21 Bible passage that any person who partakes of any one of these seventeen sins “SHALL NOT inherit the kingdom of God,” should we dare question it? Or, should we simply repent, believe, embrace, and declare this Bible truth? It is moral cowardess to do anything but receive, believe, and resolutely communicate this truth – “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.” (2 Tim. 4:2-3)
It’s not fair that this generation be left without the plain truth of the holiness of the Almighty who they will soon stand before to be judged. Isn’t it only equitable that those who are at variance with the LORD and going to hell know so? Did He not give us the commission to warn them? (Ps. 9:17; Matt. 3:7-8; Acts 2:40; 2 Cor. 5:11)
Perhaps so many leaders limit themselves to the scant volume of verses they learned in their so-called higher learning institutions. Or, many don’t want to deal with this truth because it’s really not all about Christ but rather about growing their own name and church business. So, they deal with self-serving surface issues instead of man’s core dilemma for which Jesus came to die (solve) – sin.
There are many Calvinists today who will dare you to “come up with any sin that can undo the great salvation of God and tie this together with Christ’s perfect work of redemption on the cross.” This is misguided thinking at best. This reveals complete denial of biblical truth and intellectual dishonesty. Jesus’ sacrifice and redemptive work is a perfect work and yet the choice is left up to the individual to receive and abide in His salvation. Did we not just read in Galatians 5:19-21 of seventeen specific sins that defile and disqualify one from God’s kingdom?
Did Christ Teach that Sin Defiles and Disqualifies?
Jesus and His apostles told us that sin “defileth” men and even named those sins which defile out of His love for us – so we would specifically know what offends His holiness and reveals a backslidden heart (Matt. 15:19-20; Gal. 5:19-21). He has disclosed to us His holy will in intricate detail and we are therefore without excuse and will be without excuse on that Great and Terrible Day of Judgment that hastens toward us. Does sin separate us from the one, true holy God? (Isa. 59:2; Rom. 6:23; Acts 1:25; Gal. 5:17-19; 1 Cor. 6:9-10; Rev. 21:8, 27) If sin doesn’t separate men from God then why in the world did Jesus come and do all that He did? Did the LORD not tell His very own covenant people that their sins had separated them from Him? (Isa. 59:2) What has changed in that regard? Nothing! The wages of sin is still death and those who die in sin will spend eternity separated from He who is “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isa. 6:3; Rom. 6:23; Rev. 4:8; 21:8, 27) Did the unchanging God of perfection somehow lose His unchanging divine attribute of holiness at the moment He saved me? If not, why would I vainly believe that my sins cannot separate me from Him?
Are we so blinded and deluded that we vainly believe that there is some other way outside what He told us in His holy Word? The way of holiness is the only way (Heb. 12:14; 1 Pet. 1:15-16).
Let us never forget or lose track of the truth that “the LORD looketh on the heart.” (1 Sam. 16:7) The LORD taught that sin that defiles comes out of the heart of man. Of this truth Jesus said “Hear, and understand.”
“And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand…And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.” Matthew 15:10, 16-20
Christ informs us here of seven specific sins that violate divine holiness. After listing them He says “These are the things which defile a man.” The word “defile” simply means to make unholy or unfit to be in God’s holy presence. Here in Matthew 15 Christ informs us all that the sins that might proceed from one’s life come forth “out of the heart” and “defile the man.” Jesus lists seven specific sins that He says “defile the man” or make him unholy in the eyes of the Almighty:
- “evil thoughts”
- “murders”
- “adulteries”
- “fornications”
- “thefts”
- “false witness”
- “blasphemies”
Now if the very Son of God says these sins “defile the man,” do you honestly think a person manifesting these sins from a defiled heart is prepared to meet Him who is “Holy, holy, holy”? (Isa. 6:3; Rev. 4:8) Anyone want to argue with the Alpha and Omega Himself? Of these sins the LORD says “These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.” (Matt. 15:20) In rightly dividing the word of truth, we observe that some things defile and some don’t. We see here that there are things that do not defile a man, outward things like not washing the hands or other man made religious ordinances that do not pertain to godliness as the LORD defines it in His Word (Matt. 23). And yet, Jesus Christ here names seven sins that proceed from alienated hearts and defile men so that they cannot be in His presence or grace unless they return to Him in repentance (Heb. 4:14-16; 8:12; 1 Jn. 1:9).
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.” Exodus 32:33
Below is an unfortunate quote from a modern ministry that has worldwide influence:
“When we do sin, God does not reject us or disown us. Our fellowship with Him may be broken, but our relationship is not; we are still members of His family if we have truly committed our lives to Christ.” (BGEA Salvation Q & A Index #9, Frequently Asked Questions, Internet)
Today it seems that the pulpits and “Christian” media venues are filled with those who psychoanalyze, water-down, and psychologize everything while avoiding Bible words and themes like identifying and calling sin – sin, the necessity of personal holiness, eternal judgment, and being ready for the soon return of Jesus. When one is in the ministry to please himself instead of Jesus, he will pick and choose those things he wishes to reveal to people in light of how it will affect or influence his audience, instead of pleasing God by declaring His full-counsel.
The hireling wolf makes himself known by his refusal to lead by openly acknowledging and declaring the full-counsel of the LORD (2 Tim. 3:10, 13). Such a person is a deceiver who intentionally dodges doctrines and passages that have a negative nature to the one who is living in darkness (Jn. 3:19-21). The deceiver identifies himself by not uncovering the sins of God’s people (Lam. 2:14). Full-counsel Gospel truth (includes enduring to the end to be saved – Matt. 10:22; 1 Cor. 15:2) will not help self-serving leaders win friends and influence people to their own selfish purposes. By withholding they lead people away from Christ (Hos. 4:6; Matt. 22:29). It certainly will not draw the masses of self-serving counterfeits and fill their houses of entertainment. Have you seen this pattern and tendency among those in leadership in the church world in this late hour?

False prophets, whom Christ warned us to avoid, will not preach on sin, righteousness, and judgment (Jn. 16:7-8; Acts 24:25). We must beware of the numerous warnings in Scripture of false prophets among us (Matt. 24:4-5, 11, 24; 1 Tim. 4:1-6; 2 Tim. 3:1-7, 13; 2 Pet. 2-3; Jude 1). Can we not also acknowledge and agree that each individual believer is entirely personally responsible to the LORD to acknowledge and obey the divine fullness of His Counsel given us in His Word? He gave to His Church His written Word that we might always know when and if we are not aligned with His truth and be fully pleasing to Him (Jn. 20:31; 1 Cor. 10:11). This passage in Galatians 5 that we are examining in this chapter which details what fruit pleases and displeases Him, is certainly one of those definitive and important truth texts He gave to His people (Gal. 5:19-23). The “works of the flesh” are spelled out so that those who are doing these things can definitively understand that they are not pleasing the LORD and in danger of hell fire.
When is the last time your pastor taught through Galatians 5:19-24?
Why did the Almighty choose to specifically list out these seventeen sins (violations of His holiness)? Was He merely filling space? What was His purpose? Is it because He is out to get us? Or, is it rather that He is holy and He so loves us? It is clear that the LORD wanted His children to know when they were not aligned with Him. Perhaps He desires us to be so close to Him that if our hearts drift, we can know it by seeing ourselves in these sins of the flesh and repent and return to Him.
Beloved, lest anyone think that this needy person possesses an undue view of himself, please know that this writer is a mere man who like Elijah and Paul is a man “subject to like passions” and fully and personally understands the gravitational pull of evil (Rom. 6-7; James 5:17). Temptation to sin is a daily reality (Gal. 5:16-17). That we all sin is no mystery, but to deny truth and make up our own doctrines and false god to justify our sins, is treason! The LORD is calling us to be honest-hearted disciples who love Him supremely – more than ourselves and sin!
Should we consider the Almighty harsh for giving us these lists of sins that violate Him? Or, do we consider Him to be as He told us He is – holy? Did He not give us ample fair warning that all sin will be judged, either by repentance now or when it is too late – when one stands before His holy throne in trembling ruins?
“For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:3-4
Jesus came, not to grant free license to sin, but to the contrary, to forever judge sin in the flesh, by the sacrifice of His own body and to grant the blessed power to live in the Spirit and not live in sin. Because Jesus forever judged sin in the flesh by His perfect sacrifice, He defeated any and all notions and excuses for sin. There will be no defense when we stand before Him naked on Judgment Day. Why then would any person claiming to know Christ teach anything which justifies the sins that violate His holiness?
What does the Holy Spirit promise will happen to any person who has the fruit of any of these “works of the flesh” manifesting in his life?
“…of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things SHALL NOT inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21
If committed without repentance, any one of these sins listed in Galatians 5 will damn the soul – or there would be no reason for the divinely-inspired transmission of this text. The seventeen sins listed in this Bible passage reveal that the LORD is holy and is warning us of exactly what offends Him. The fact of the existence of this important passage reveals that God loves His people. Anyone committing these sins can plainly know he is out of a pleasing relationship with Jesus and choose to repent and turn back to the LORD. When the heart is in true fellowship with Christ, “the fruit of the Spirit” will be produced as listed in Galatians 5:22-23.
Like Esau, Judas, and many others throughout history, sin can and will harden the heart and if not repented of, will result in unalterable apostasy (Heb. 3:12-15; 6:4-6; 12:14-15).
It is the dishonest heart that can look dead at a Holy Spirit-inspired Scripture and “diminish ought” from it (Deut. 4:2). How prideful we are! How arrogant! What audacity! Taking away from God’s Word brings a curse (Prov. 30:5-6; Rev. 22:18-19).
“Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. 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. Your eyes have seen what (judgment) the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you. But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day. Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments (gave you my written Word), even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do them (the words of God)…” Deuteronomy 4:1-6
Here God’s covenant people are specifically reminded by the LORD of His “fierce anger” when Israel sinned against Him “because of Baalpeor.” See Numbers 25. Remember how 24,000 Israelites were killed for idolatry, spiritual adultery and fornication? (Num. 25) Here in Deuteronomy God’s covenant people are reminded of the holy wrath of the God who saved them and are exhorted to take heed and not “diminish ought” from His Word by distorting His clear truth and making up false doctrines to justify living in sin. The Almighty is unchanging and will judge His own people for their sins if they choose not to repent and return to Him fully (Ezek. 18:30; 33:12-13; 1 Pet. 4:17-18; Rev. 3:19).
In verse 4 here of Deuteronomy chapter 4 we are reminded of the glorious promise of the keeping grace and power of our great God who preserves His own who remain in fellowship with Him – “But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.”
Saints, do we believe the Word of God? If so, we are obligated by a holy conviction to embrace all of it because “ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God.” (2 Tim. 3:16)
There are those who would pose the question: “At what point does the LORD cut a person off?” It is wise to allow Him to answer this question for Himself by observing what He told us in His Word. All human reasoning should be crucified and the Word of God honored as full and final authority concerning this matter. “Let God be true and every man a liar.” (Rom. 3:4)
Remember that divine truth is never based upon what a sinful man or men wish it to be. Instead, divine truth is immutable, unchanging, binding, and before determined by the Judge of all.
God has magnified His Word above even His very name! Those who truly serve Him in truth, magnify His Words and not those of mere men or contrary doctrines. The mark of a true disciple will be that he searches out and magnifies God’s written Word above all else and allows it to supersede the voice, notion or teachings of all that does not align (Ps. 138:2; Jn. 5:39; 8:47; Acts 17:11).
The Bible clearly tells us that if one is not in the state of holiness through intimate relationship with Christ (abiding), that person simply will not go to God’s holy Heaven when he leaves the earth, whether that be in the catching away or upon death.
A valid question that the Scripture answers is asked by many and here it is: Are there certain sins which disqualify a person from Heaven? If so, which ones? And says who?
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? BE NOT DECEIVED: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind (homosexuals), Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Did you see the 10 sins listed here which will exclude any person living in them from “inherit(ing) the kingdom of God”?
According to 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, here are those that the eternal Judge and LORD says will not “inherit the kingdom of God”:
• “Fornicators”
• “Idolaters”
• “Adulterers”
• “Effeminate”
• “Abusers of themselves with mankind” (homosexuals)
• “Thieves”
• “Covetous”
• “Drunkards”
• “Revilers”
• “Extortioners”
Overcoming these sins cannot be internally accomplished by self effort and soul power.
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16
Again, the question: Do certain sins (sins unto death – Rom. 6:16; 1 Jn. 5:16) disqualify a person who was once in grace, from Heaven/eternal life, if he doesn’t repent?
“But the fearful (spiritual cowards, men pleasers), 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
Here is another list of those the LORD tells us “shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone”:
• “Fearful” (spiritual cowards, men pleasers)
• “Unbelieving”
• “Abominable”
• “Murderers”
• “Whoremongers”
• “Sorcerers”
• “Idolaters”
• “All liars”
Revelation 21:8 lists 8 soul-damning sins. These divinely inspired laborious lists beg the following question: Why does God take so much time and effort to give a detailed list of these sins to His very own people if in fact it only took to “believe” and be saved at one moment in one’s life and he was eternally secure regardless of what he did after that one magic moment of faith?
“But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house we are, IF WE HOLD FAST THE CONFIDENCE and the rejoicing of the hope FIRM UNTO THE END.” Hebrews 3:6
There are 5 sins that kept Israel (God’s covenant people) out of their promise land of blessings and will keep us out if we choose to live separated from the presence of God in sin.
“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (represents salvation) And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 9:27; 10:1-12
Here are the 5 sins that kept God’s people out of His blessings:
• “Lust”
• “Idolatry”
• “Fornication”
• “Tempting Christ”
• “Murmuring”
For the sake of remembrance, let us use the acronym L.I.F.T.M. here. Each letter corresponds to 1 of these 5 deadly sins which disqualify the people of the LORD from entering into His resting place – ultimately Heaven.
We all need to L.I.F.T.M. up (these sins) to the LORD in repentance and for His perfect forgiveness and cleansing. God the Holy Spirit warns us here through Paul’s pen, that Israel and these sins are “examples.” (1 Cor. 10:6, 11) to all New Testament believers. The clear message here is that God is a holy Judge and destroys those of his who depart from His presence and go back into sinfulness (transgressors – Ps. 68:21; 73:28; 125:5, etc.). If not ridded out of our lives, any one of these 5 sins WILL keep us out of our promised land. God is holy.
This simple acronym should help us to remember these sins and remain separate from these things which displease our Savior. May He bless and quicken our hearts today to cry out to Him to increase as we decrease and to grant us “the spirit of holiness.” (Rom. 1:4)
“For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:5-6
Just after he detailed the 17 works of the flesh, the Holy Spirit gives us the 9 dimensions of the evidence of the LORD’s workings in that person who is truly abiding in Him.
“But the fruit (evidence) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23
Based on whom a person is serving, the fruit or evidence of that entity will be manifested in his life. Consider the following words from Romans 8:
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14
Can you identify the divine promise in the following verse of Scripture?
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
The following is a divine command:
“Keep thyself pure.” 1 Timothy 5:22
L.I.F.T.M. up to Christ the Redeemer and Forgiver of the sins of His people upon repentance.
When we see sinful manifestations of the fallen nature in our lives, we should recognize that this reveals that our hearts are not right with God. This is a blessing to us from our LORD in that He gave us exact knowledge of what He considers to be sin, so that we never need to wonder, but can always have a measurement of where we are in Him.
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.” Galatians 5:16-18
More Sin Lists
“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;” Colossians 3:5-9
Here in Colossians 3, the Word informs us that there are 6 sins “For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.”
• “Fornication”
• “Uncleanness”
• “Inordinate affection” (exceeding reasonable limits, excessive)
• “Evil concupiscence” (secret desire for that which is forbidden, i.e., fantasies, fantasizing of sinful activities)
• “Covetousness”
• “Idolatry”
Ephesians 5:
“For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.” Ephesians 5:5-6
Notice that after the Holy Spirit here lists 4 violations against the holiness of God (sins), He says: “Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.” (Eph. 5:6)
• “Whoremonger”
• “Unclean person”
• “Covetous man”
• “Idolater’
He tells us here that no person who is living outside of fellowship with the LORD and therefore committing these sins, “hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God” and to “Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things (these sins named) cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.” (Eph. 5:5-6)
He is here telling believers to never be deceived into thinking that any person practicing these sins has an inheritance in the eternal kingdom of God. Saint of the LORD, here in this passage, the Holy Spirit instructs us to never allow any leader to seduce our hearts and convince our minds that sin doesn’t endanger the eternal soul.
“Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” 1 Peter 2:11
Living in temporal sin endangers the eternal soul.
Here are 7 the deadly sins of Proverbs 6:
“These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6:16-19
• “A proud look”
• “A lying tongue”
• “Hands that shed innocent blood”
• “An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations”
• “Feet that be swift in running to mischief”
• “A false witness that speaketh lies”
• “He that soweth discord among brethren”
“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1
“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.” Ezekiel 18:30-32
“That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” Deuteronomy 16:20
The LORD told us that there would be those who professed to know Him and yet by their works they deny Him. These “works of the flesh” which we have studied here are not according to Christ. They are not the character of Jesus and reveal a life that is not conformed to His holy image (Rom. 8:29). These characteristics should never be manifesting in the life of the disciple of Jesus.
“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 danger of losing out with God may at this time be a harsh reality to you. It is nonetheless biblically true. We must crucify emotions and live by divine truth; letting God be true and any other teaching or emotional feeling to be the liar (Rom. 3:3-4).
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
The LORD told us to “watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation” and to “exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” (Matt. 26:41; Heb. 3:13) Also: “…But exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.” (Heb. 10:25-27)
Do we not rather desire to abide in the place of blessing with our LORD? Do we not long to experience His hand of blessing upon our lives as we live in harmony with Him?
“If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” Job 36:11
“For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:8-9
When and if we see any of these sins manifesting in our lives, we can be sure that there is the sin of unbelief, spiritual adultery, and idolatry causing a strained connection between ourselves and the LORD. Such a breach can be remedied by godly repentance which re-establishes the Lordship of Christ and a fresh drawing near to the Savior, releasing our whole lives to Him alone who is worthy.
“Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.” John 13:8-10
The LORD would have us to learn how to receive a fresh cleansing and start that we might serve Him with clear conscience. Contacting the blood of Christ makes such possible! “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Heb. 9:14) He desires to separate us from the stain of past sins that we might serve Him in the fullness of His love and Spirit. “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 3:13-14) Note here that in order to be able to reach forward unto those divinely ordained things which lay before us and press toward the mark of knowing Christ more, we must first and foremost deliberately choose to forget those sins which He has forgiven upon our confession.
May our precious LORD help us to learn to be blessed with His holy grace in washings on an ongoing basis as we confess and forsake our sins and are cleansed afresh by His blood.
“That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ…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. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 1:3, 7-10; 2:2
The Place of Blessedness
Quoting David’s words in Psalm 32, the apostle Paul writes:
“Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.” Romans 4:6-8
The “blessed” place to be is where we have a real walk with God, one that is faith-filled, accountable, repentant, and obedient. As we do, we are in His holy light and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin!
PRAYER: O LORD Jesus, bless me to abide in Thee that I may live pleasing to You in all my ways and never walk after the deeds of the fleshly, sinful nature but bring forth fruit unto eternal life while eagerly looking for Your soon return. Give me “the spirit of holiness.”At this moment I commend my spirit into Your holy care. I lay my life in Your hands Jesus. I love You my LORD and Master. Holy Father, let Your grace flood my being and I will guard my heart against any seducing spirit, deceiver or false teaching that would seek to convince me that it is okay to live in sin or that someone living in sin is eternally secure. Thank You Father for bringing me to the blessed place where you do not impute iniquity to me but that all sins are confessed and relinquished. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Antichrists Among Us [podcast]
“Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:12
How is Satan bringing his great wrath on mankind in this last hour? Isn’t it the same way he’s always done it, yet now in an even more feverish, intensified way? Yes. His tools, his “devices” are the same—from the Garden to now! This is exactly what the Holy Ghost told us through Paul:
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man (it’s Satan’s same temptations/tactics): but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13
Knowing and walking in this divine knowledge will help us stop Satan from getting an advantage over our lives.
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11
In summation, “the spirit of antichrist” is Satan and exists to mislead people away from his arch enemy, the LORD Jesus Christ. This “spirit of antichrist” seeks to demote, to denigrate, and destroy the testimony of Holy Scriptures which reveal, which hold as their grand subject—Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, God Almighty, who was bodily crucified, buried, and raised again from the dead.
“The spirit of truth” vs “the spirit of error.”
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
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.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.” 1 John 4:1-6
“That Spirit of Antichrist”
“Theological liberalism and religious cults (and cultists) betray themselves as ‘antichrist’ (v3) when they deny the full deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, or His redemptive death and resurrection for our salvation (v 9-10; 2:2). Every departure from Biblical revelation concerning Christ opens itself up to demonic ‘spirits’ of deception (v1) because it sets aside the authority and complete trustworthiness of God’s Word.” Life in the Spirit Study Bible
“4:3 And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. This is how you can detect the false teachers. They do not confess the Jesus who was described in the previous verse. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, which has been prophesied and which is now already in the world. There are many today who are willing to say acceptable things about Jesus, but they will not confess Him as God Incarnate. They will say that Christ is ‘divine,’ but not that He is God.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
“Spirit of antichrist – All the opponents of Christ’s incarnation, and consequently of his passion, death, and resurrection, and the benefits to be derived from them.” Adam Clarke
Seems to me that anyone who denies the essentials of the Messiah (virgin birth, divinity, etc.), is an “antichrist.”
Jesus told the antichrist pharisees:
“I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” John 8:24
“8:24 Jesus often used repetition for emphasis. Here He solemnly warned them again that they would die in their sins. If they steadfastly refused to believe on Him, there was no alternative. Apart from the Lord Jesus, there is no way to obtain forgiveness of sins, and those who die with sins unforgiven cannot possibly enter heaven at last. The word He is not found in this verse in the original, though it may be implied. It reads literally: ‘if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.’ We see in the words I am another claim to deity by the Lord Jesus.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
As was the case in the Garden, Satan’s mission is to misdirect, to remove Christ’s people from worshiping and upholding Him as the Head of His body, as the Captain of our salvation, who alone, who exclusively came as God the Word in the Flesh, Immanuel, and paid the full “It is finished” price for bringing us back to Himself and the Father from a life of sin (Matthew 1:21-3; John 1:1-4, 10, 14; 19:30). Holy Scripture informs us that “the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Revelation 12:12).
There are a myriad of facets, methods, mediums the prince of darkness is using in his full scale war against the Son of God. One of those methods is a changing of the words of God which is what Satan did in the very Garden of Eden which led to the fall of the first man and woman into sin. Satan cast doubt on God’s Word in order to lead the man and woman to doubt to, lose credibility in God and His Word, to weaken their resolve, and get them to not believe and obey what the LORD had stated to them in 2:17 (Genesis 3:1). Then the enemy altered what God had said (2:17) by adding a word (“not” — Genesis 3:4) This led to the fall of mankind into sin. New “bibles” equals/is apostasy and there could be no other spirit behind these corruptions of God’s words but “the spirit of antichrist” (1 John 4:3).
It’s interesting that the Bible uses the phrases “many antichrists” and also “many, which corrupt the word of God” (1 John 2:18; 2 Corinthians 2:17).
“For we are not as many, which corrupt 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
There’s a direct connection between the snake in the Garden, animated by Satan, and those who question and pervert the words of God today.
“…ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” Jeremiah 23:36
Perverting the words of God comes in many and various ways. His time is short and Satan is on an all-out offensive and many do not see it (1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:12).
How can anyone involved with, or agreeing with, or defending the changing of God’s Word be anything but an antichrist?
From our growing knowledge of God’s Word, just WHAT “spirit” do we think is behind the removal of the very “BLOOD” of Jesus from Colossians 1:14 in the new versions? Certainly we know this was “that spirit of antichrist” and surely we can conclude that is could only be “that spirit of antichrist” anointing, behind those who defend those who attack corruptions of God’s Word.
SO YOU agree with SATAN having removed the BLOOD of Jesus from Colossians 1:14? You are going to take sides with Satan himself against the Almighty you pretend to serve?
If your “bible” doesn’t have the BLOOD of Jesus in Colossians 1:14, you are now accountable. God knows you know!
The antichrists by Stacy Strother:
“I think it is worthy to mention that John is addressing the church in with this passage (1 John 4:1-3). He is warning the people, God‘s people, to be on the watch, and to be doctrinally ready to discern that antichrist spirit. I believe John is imploring the church that these antichrists are not just a bunch of people out in the world that noticeably hate God, but they are people who seem to appreciate God, who pretend to be saved. No, rather that they are coming from WITHIN the church body, serving a separate or different agenda and doctrine.
I believe the latest false doctrines that have emerged over the last 20 – 30 years are part of this antichrist spirit, which is basically a doctrine. WOF, the emergent church, IHOP, NAR and so on, all seep with the stench of this antichrist spirit.
John is telling them that they are living in the last hour and that the antichrist spirit is not just coming, it is abounding now, presently, within the professing church world.
A thought to glean from this might be that John was teaching his disciples that there would be certain doctrines come forth that might argue that Jesus left, and His kingdom is so distant that it doesn’t really affect our lives here and now. By doing this, it would leave room for the false teachers to implement a devised doctrine. Such doctrines would appear as authentic, but rather when the student of the Word peers into those false doctrines, he finds that it is actually another Jesus altogether. It is antichrist.”
Paul L. Freeman writes:
“Are we to believe the scholars when they tell us that no important doctrines are affected by the new Modern Versions? It is obvious that they are not correct. What they really mean to say is that when all the changes have been made the Bible Doctrines are still there somewhere else in the Bible. If there are ten verses showing the Virgin Birth of Christ, and they have removed two, there are still eight remaining to prove the doctrine. That may satisfy them, but the Fundamental believer sees that as a piece by piece destruction of the Word of God.
We would accuse them of taking away from the Word of God. They would accuse us of using a Bible which has many additions inserted by overzealous Christian copyists. The issue now becomes quite clear. We must either believe that overzealous heretics have corrupted the original Word of God or believe that overzealous believers have added to the original Word of God. I can understand why heretics would want to corrupt the original Word of God, but I cannot believe that Christians would add one word to the Word of God which they have been entrusted to copy and pass along. The Spirit of God within Christians would put a holy awe and reverence around the sacred word and guided by that same Spirit they would copy what God had given them. My conclusion is that the new Modern Versions are based on Greek manuscripts that have been corrupted by heretics who changed the Word of God to agree with their rejection of the Deity of Christ and their Humanism regarding salvation. The Greek Text underlying the King James Version is not filled with additions made by overzealous Christians. It is the Word of God preserved by the Spirit of God and it exalts the Lord Jesus Christ, giving him his proper place and the glory due unto his name.” | Bible Doctrines Affected by Modern Version (includes the deity of Christ maligned and attacked)
Anyone who participates in heretical doctrine or practices proves themselves to be under the control of “another spirit” which is the same devil as in the Garden of Eden, right? Read this, the Holy Spirit’s warning to us from Paul the apostles. Paul is seeing the body of Christ as Adam and Eve before they were beguiled by the serpent:
“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled (deceived) Eve through his subtilty (cunning trickery), so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” 2 Corinthians 11:2-4
“the simplicity that is in Christ” would be what is recorded about Christ the Messiah in God’s Word with nothing added or taken away.
- “another Jesus” – as in one that was not born of a virgin, was not God, did not die and rise bodily, etc.
- “another spirit” – that evil “spirit of antichrist” behind the denigration of Christ, the attempt to rob Him of His glory (Colossians 2:18-19).
- “another gospel” – a message, a false gospel that does not uphold Christ as that “the record” of Holy Scripture reveals Him.
Divine Commands Forbidding the Altering of God’s Words/Word
The obvious mission of Satan, “that spirit of antichrist” is to deceive and to destroy and to devour the saints of Christ. Adam and Eve were in perfect, sinless communion with God, right? Right. How did Satan derail them—get them removed from His holy presence? He simply questioned and changed the words of God.
If a person is not opposed to the desecration of “the RECORD that God gave of his Son”, such a person is against Christ. Such a person is not with but rather against the LORD—regardless of his mere profession (Matthew 12:30; Titus 1:16). Isn’t the very definition of antichrist to be opposed to or against Christ, right?
What do we call anyone pretending to be an American who “shreds the Constitution”? A traitor right? And traitors are worthy of death, right?
At this dark time in the history of Israel, the Scriptures had been lost and out of circulation among the people of God. Then they were found and read before the king, king Jehoiakim (the son of Josiah) and his servants. As a result, conviction of sin came and certain parts of God’s Word were rejected and thrown into the fire to burned and to be vanished out of their presence. Jehoiakim was a Bible burner. What he didn’t like, due to the darkness of his own heart, he thought in vain that he could just burn it and that it would go away. Not.
“My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.” Psalms 89:34
This is a fascinating occurrence captured, recorded in Jeremiah 36 that is transpiring today in full scale, perpetrated by false leaders like king Jehoiakim (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Read Jeremiah 36. Remember that anyone participating in the altering of God’s words, is an antichrist.
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13
Anyone defending the altering of God’s Word, which is what the new “bibles” have done, is under the control of a devil, the murderer who rebelled in eternity past, was cast to the earth, and began his war against God and His people by casting doubt upon and changing His words (Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4).
If altering, changing God’s Word isn’t satanic, nothing is! See Genesis 2:17; 3:1, 4; 2 and Corinthians 2:1
New “bibles” are altered versions of God’s pure Word. They are the altering, the changing of “the RECORD that God gave of his Son”. The very premise of such is forbidden by the LORD (Deuteronomy 4:2; Jeremiah 26:2; Proverbs 30:5-6; Mark 13:31; Revelation 22:18-19). Read these carefully, prayerfully:
“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
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6
“… for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.” Jeremiah 23:36
“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
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31
“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
“Antichrist” simply means to oppose or more insidiously, to put something, anything in front of, in place of the Jesus Christ divinely testified to in “the record” of Holy Writ.
There are “many antichrists” and anyone opposing or putting something or someone (including self) in front of Christ is an idolater and in my opinion can be referred to as an antichrist.
“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.” 2 John 1:7
Anyone defending these alterations of “the record that God gave of his Son” is under the control of “the spirit of antichrist” (1 John 4:1-3). In their allowing the very words of God to be perverted is the denial of “the record” or the recorded testimony that Jesus Christ is God.
It all goes back to what he did in the Garden (Genesis 3:1; 2:17>3:4): If you want to discern the work of Satan in this late hour and how he has “come down with great wrath,” look at the changing of God’s Word via the new versions (Revelation 12:12).

America
“We’re Watching The Collapse of America in Real Time” [podcast]
Greatest Country in the World? – such a statement and others are the glue that holds the enslaved to their slave masters. And there was many more.
“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Revelation 3:17
America has for at least decades rejected God, even those who claim they are saved. They are bound for eternal damnation. They are “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:”
Is America what it used to be? I think not. America is reaping what it has sowed. More on God’s judgment on nations in a moment.
So why would present judgment upon the USA be a surprise to the true born again Bible saints? Would this not prove that we ourselves are still in darkness?
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,” Romans 1:22
Business as Usual? I don’t think so. Redemptive withdrawal at work – where God is removing His hand of protection over the USA due to the sin and unrepentant rebellion of the people. Notice how this starts – when we live in sin, we are unrepentant, we are digging out own pit.
“The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalms 9:16-17
“Excellent podcast! And I agree America is on a downward spiral of evilness I don’t believe we have ever seen, as we are nearing the end times. I think of 2 Tim 3:1-4. But what really sticks out is v3 ‘without natural affection,’. Isn’t this exactly what we are seeing? Natural affection in the Greek ‘astorgos’ meaning natural and instinctual family love for parents, and children is gone. Yet our society is now without this love and their hearts and has become hardened from the deceitfulness of sin (Hebrews 3:12-15). The root cause is self-idolatry. The people have become ‘lovers of their own selves’. Children are now a burden to their lives, instead of a blessing from the Lord. So when that happens we kill them, we murder our own children. People are doing so either in the womb or whenever they tire of them. In our wicked society, killing children has become celebrated. Just recently Massachusetts passed a law, that you can kill your own baby up to birth. This was applauded, by these demonic, feminist, Jezebels! Remarkably, there was not one man standing with them when this was signed. This is how far America has come. Killing children is acceptable and applauded! God’s judgment is definitely upon us. We are rotten in absolute unrepentant rebellion all the way to the very core.” Karen Cochran
How did we get here?
What sins was Sodom committing when the LORD judged them?
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)
Judgment is at hand.
HERE IS WHERE WE ARE – There’s a timing of judgment for each nation. The LORD has called America to repent for decades and she has refused and will not be repenting. She has wiped her mouth like she did nothing wrong. The people will not acknowledge their gross sin and only wants her freedom back in order to go back to living as she pleases but has no conviction of her sin to lead her to true repentance.
“AT WHAT INSTANT”
God has a specific timing for the judgment on each nation.
Jeremiah 18:10
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
7 At what INSTANT I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
Clear proof that America is under divine judgment. Rampant injustice such as judges giving bond to murderers and rapists so they can (and they are) go out and do it again. Read Isaiah 3.
Over 60 million murdered in cold blood precious babies, and county, with no voice crying out for abortion to cease.
No political party or candidate can save America from divine judgment. Only repentance could have done such—yet those claiming to be God’s people have refused (Jeremiah 18:1-10; 2 Chronicles 7:14).
Most other nations are not under such judgment at this time and this underscores the timing of God in judging individual nations. Those who live elsewhere or travel can testify that other nations are not the cascading catastrophe the United States presently is. The LORD told us that He has an “instant” in time, a specific time for the judgment of each nation – and in the end the final judgment of all nations (Jeremiah 18:1-10; Matthew 25:31-46).
“I see this on men’s faces all over America. The women have rotted their bones with their words! They destroy him and tear him down so much so that he stops fighting and surrenders to her. This is how they gain complete control. They strip him and tear him down to nothing. He then gives up.” Karen Cochran
At the time of this writing, nearly $1 million has been donated to the wicked woman’s defense fund by other wicked women who are defending her murders of her own three precious children and blaming her husband for it.
“You know that wickedness has reached a truly profound level in the world today when it resides in the hands and heart of a mother—a mother who has carried her precious baby in her own womb. If inconvenienced in some way, she wishes to murder that very precious and innocent child, that is diabolical. Having no fear of God will bring judgment.” Stacy Strother
CONCERNING the woman who just murdered her three precious children, her attorney is using the “mental health episode” excuse. In other words, in the USA it’s okay to murder, even your own children, since after all, perhaps the pharmakeia drugs weren’t working good enough. So, your punishment is minimal. Justice perverted (Isaiah 5:20-24). | Sorcery, Pharmakeia | The Drugging of America
SHE knew exactly what she was doing and anyone defending this woman’s actions is accursed, pure evil. Sit down Jezebel. SIN and Satan is what was going on in this woman’s mind. As has been stated, “Sin will take you further than you want to go, will charge you more than you want to pay, and will keep you longer than you want to stay.” unknown …
Compare this refreshing testimony below to the demon possessed American jezebels who are defending the psychopathic woman who just murdered her 3 babies.
“So yesterday I read a story of a woman in Sweden, who when their house was on fire, ran to get out her 6 kids. She ended up with 93 percent of her body burned. Doctors did not think she would survive, but she did. When she woke up, the first thing she asked was whether all her kids had made it out alive. All six made it out without any serious injuries. She later said, “If I birthed six kids, I’m gonna get six kids out.”!! She nearly died so her kids could live. Now who is the real hero?” Karen Cochran
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
There are consequences for our decisions.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” Galatians 6:7-8
We have all sinned against our Maker and are in need of His forgiveness before it’s too late. Call on Jesus today if you wish to be forgiven. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). America is over but eternity lies before each of us.
The Following Comments are Proof that the Sisterhood of Eve is Alive and Well
“Once you support murdering babies, there isn’t an evil left that you can’t justify.” Jesse
“Everyone that donated should get the injection along with the mother.”
“Women trying to escape accountability …. nothing new. I don’t recall men standing behind Chris Watts for nuking his family.”
“Killing of kids and even unborn ones are things that unite women the most for the last few decades.”
“I don’t think it’s ever been more over than it is now guys.”
“What if the husband committed this heinous act & he was suffering from depression? Would the women supporting and defending her, would have supported and defended the husband too and blamed it on depression? The answer is NO.”
“She planned it, sent her husband on a chore to get rid of him….then executed her children….”
“If a man had done it, NO WOMAN would be making excuses for him.”
“Guys, when Eve was seduced by the devil in the garden it wasn’t fiction.”
“At this point I am thinking ‘who seduced whom?’ “
“I have been shocked at the level of evilness in these women who are defending this demon! There is absolutely no doubt she did it! The prosecution said she did it, her lawyer said she did it, and she admitted herself she did it. And yet these lunatics are saying her husband did it. He wasn’t even home, as she sent him to the store. Sounds like pre-meditation to me. And not one mention of these three precious babies she killed, one by one! Oh boy! I have righteous anger over this. Especially because they are blaming the husband when she said, ‘I DID IT‘!!” Karen Cochran
The Killing Field known as the United States of America is under Divine Judgment – repent now, before it’s too late. You are going to burn in hell, consciously, irrevocably. Make Peace with God now. Jesus is calling you to Himself.
The right to abort, to murder one’s own precious innocent baby has given way to this exponential murderous evil – including murdering your own born babies. ALL abortion is murder and anyone in any way involved, has the blood of innocent babies on their wicked hands.
“Thou shalt not kill.” Exodus 20:13
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
The LORD our Maker sees all.
- Proverbs 28:15: “As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.”
- Proverbs 29:2: “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”
- Ecclesiastes 5:8: “If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.”
- Isaiah 10:1-2: “Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!”
- Daniel 2:21: “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:”
- Micah 3:9-11: “Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD…”
- Psalm 2:10-12: “Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”
- Psalm 82:1-2, 6-8: “God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? … I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most Highest. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.”

Antichrist or Christ? [podcast]
Recorded at a fellowship in Colorado.
Who is truly reigning in my heart?
“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” Luke 19:27
Am I an antichrist?
Are there professing Christians who have “the spirit of antichrist” reigning in their hearts, their personal lives?
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
If I am sitting upon the throne of my own heart in this my temple (myself), I am an antichrist. God forbid!
Anti as in antichrist means in place of: It’s the “spirit of antichrist” working through Satan’s false ministers that robs the glory from Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 11:12-15; Colossians 1:18; 2:8-10, 18-19; 1 John 4:1-3, etc.).
anti – a. Against, opposed to. b. Before, predating. c. Usurping, in place of.
“Deceived people have no idea that they have been deceived, so they fight those who attempt to direct them back to the truth of the gospel.” Jim Borge
Those not excited for Jesus to return simply love this fleeting world and are not ready to meet the KING! Jesus is coming
We know when “that spirit of antichrist” is working through a rebel when he speaks contrary to God’s Word (John 8:47; 1 John 4:3). “That spirit of antichrist” – anti (in place of) Christ is anything that contradicts what God’s Word says, working to subvert divinely stated truth while posing as Christ’s minister (2 Corinthians 11:12-15).
“That spirit of antichrist” is witnessed in the human agents, possessed by devils who make it all about something, anything but Christ. The emphasis is taken away from Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:18-19). They make it about the church, Zionism/Israel, a nation, a genealogical people, a mere pastor, a man or men, an organization, a creed, a fraternal order, etc. This becomes clearer as the word “antichrist” is broken down. Anti means in place of.
Read Colossians 1 and 2 each morning this week.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 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. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” 1 John 4:1-4

It’s interesting that those I am closest to, all had the same sense this past weekend…. As events are unfolding in the USA…..
