The Chosen and Jonathan Roumie Exposed [podcast]
Another vatican deception ensnares lazy counterfeits who refuse to get into the Word for themselves.
***BEWARE OF THE BANDWAGON BAFOONS!
The counterfeit chumps who jumped on the more than obvious THE CHOSEN vatican fraud movie bandwagon have even more egg on their face with the revelation of the pride abomination flag that was on the set. That tells us all we need to know about Johnathan Roumie and The Chosen.
“The Chosen” movie is just the latest “I-want-it-to-be-true-because-I’m-too-lazy-to-read-God’s-Word-for-myself” deception.
“And Hollywood loves the Chosen because it is presenting a false Jesus. The world loves their own! John 15: 19. The real Jesus of the Bible is the one they reject. Because they love their sinful ways and do not want to repent. Therefore they hate truth! And Jesus represents, truth holiness and righteousness.” Karen Cochran
The Chosen Movie is Antichrist…
Yet you have God-less counterfeits (antichrists) promoting it as a Bible movie. God told you to know Him through your own study of HIS own Word and not by watching Satan’s agents poison you via their hollyweird movies. Repent now.
“The Chosen actually portrays Jesus as a sinner! When Jesus was in the temple Mary and Joseph were looking for Him, Joseph says to Jesus, “what are you going to do for your mother for this transgression?” And then laughs. Any true discipline of Christ knows Jesus was without sin!! (2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 2:22). They are humanizing Him and omitting His deity! Their words: “we are trying to make Him more relatable to modern audiences”! And the Chosen is probably the most popular show on the planet! Blasphemy and a MOCKERY of the Lord Jesus Christ! Any person claiming to be a follower of Christ could never sit and watch them mock the one they supposedly love! You might as well eat rat poison! This is a “damnable” heresy (2 Peter 2:1). And God will not be mocked! What you sow you will also reap! Gal 6:7. Consequences will be burning forever and ever in the eternal flames of hell!” Karen Cochran
“The Chosen’s director, Dallas Jenkins, said that 95% of The Chosen is not from the Bible (in other words not true but rather made-up stories about Jesus and the disciples) but ‘Christians’ love it. Care nothing of truth.” Danny Phillips
“Promoting a false Jesus! Dallas Jenkins also said we don’t ask people what they believe when we hire them. Um hello!! You make a movie about Jesus but you don’t care what they believe! 2 Corinthians: 14-17. People don’t have a love for the truth. For this reason God will send a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. 2 Thessalonians 2: 10-12.” Karen Cochran
The true remnant of Christ live by the Word of God as their final divine authority and are 4-0, having recently exposed the works of darkness titled The Chosen, He Gets Us, Jesus Revolution, and the Asbury revival scam!!!! – “Take heed that no man deceive you.” (Matthew 24:4)
Jonathan Roumie has never once professed that he is born again or washed in the blood of Jesus, because he isn’t. Roumie is an idol worshipping roman catholic pagan who prays the rosary, a knight of malta secret society skull and bones occultist, and boasts of praying to the dead, which is forbidden by God (Deuteronomy 18:9-14). Roumie played the part of Jesus in “The Chosen,” and then played the part of sodomite catholic priest Lonnie Frisbee in the movie “Jesus Revolution.”
Notice, Jonathan Roumie has a video titled “testimony of divine mercy” but not being born again which means he’s not a Christian. This is all “another Jesus” and not the Jesus Christ of the Bible who said “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. … Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” (John 3:3, 7; 2 Corinthians 11:2-5) … furthermore, Roumie’s pictures of him flashing his occultic skull and bones rings are everywhere. “Be not deceived.” (Galatians 6:7-8) Hint: There is no mercy, forgiveness, or salvation to anyone who is not genuinely born again. There is no such thing as a Christian who is not born again.
SO, just what spirit is working in the lives of all who promoted and defended “The Chosen”, the “Jesus Revolution,” “He Gets Us,” and the Asbury “revival”? Make not mistake: This is a wake up call for all who promoted these frauds to truly repent and be saved – before it’s too late. The fact that they didn’t see this clearly proves this is 100% proof that demons presently control all who defended these satanically backed productions. Jesus tells us that every one of them is “NOT of God” because they do not honor God’s Word (John 8:47). If they were “of God”, they’d never have promoted these antichrist corruptions (John 8:47). Jonanthan Roumie, in an interview, boast of praying to the dead. Yet in God’s Word, praying to the dead is called necromancy which is pretended communications with the dead (Deuteronomy 18:9-14).
Abominable Practices
9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.” Deuteronomy 18:9-14
They Simply do not Love the LORD
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.” Matthew 22:37-38
Some people want the Bible acted out dramatically in a movie or docuseries format because they don’t love God enough to pay attention when they are reading His Word directly. Or, in most cases, they have no daily life in God’s Word in the first place – because He’s not important enough to them. In fact, they want mere man to tell them about God because they won’t repent and seek Him for themselves.
Only those who are born again and presently abiding in Christ will be with Him (John 3:3, 7; 15:1-6,etc.) | Making Peace with God
No true disciple of Jesus gets his view of God, his theology, from a movie. No, he studies God’s Word for himself (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17). Those who don’t love God enough to study HIS Word for themselves, are not right with Him and won’t be with Him.
Any person who gets their view of God from a hollywood movie is in need of repentance for not studying God’s Word for himself as the LORD commanded us to do (2 Timothy 2:15).
WHEN God is not important to you, you don’t study and know His Word for yourself (2 Timothy 2:15). And, therefore you are a sucker for Satan’s productions, dramatized “Bible” stories, and presentations. And you will be “destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)
“The Word is so beautiful. I don’t listen, watch or desire man’s interpretation. God speaks and the Holy Spirit Is the perfect teacher.” Neisey
SO many people who claim to be following Christ won’t diligently study His Word for themselves (2 Timothy 2:15). They want some man to tell them about God instead of seeking the LORD for themselves. So, instead they read heretical new age antichrist misrepresentations like Jesus Calling, The Shack, or they watch “Bible” movies from hollyweird like The Chosen which is a fraudulent corruption.
To illustrate how many have been played for the fool, notice below the allegiance to his lord Satan of the man who plays John the Baptist in the movie The Chosen. He writes: “Our little Satanic film trends more than Jesus this Easter!” David Amito, who played the part of John the Baptist in The Chosen.
The above revelation makes is 100% certain that any and all persons who watched The Chosen are not being led by the Holy Spirit and are in utter need of swift, authentic repentance (Romans 8:14).
This means that anyone not being led by the Holy Spirit, according to the written WORD the Holy Spirit gave us, is “NOT of God.” (John 8:47)
“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30
UPDATE: Just watched another video of Jonathan Roumie videoing himself live and he is bragging about being Catholic, speaking at Catholic events, how he loves being a Knights Templar (satanic), bragging about them, and how he’s been asked and is going to be a papal knight…. antichrist… and bragging about meeting the pope soon in Rome.
BEWARE: There’s yet another end times “Bible” movie out. Just the latest of many. Most if not all of them have cursed roots, the Catholic church. Lazy, gullible dupes rush out to see “Bible” movies. They are too lazy to read God’s Word for themselves and so have no idea what’s added or left out. They don’t love Christ enough to listen to Him for themselves – by reading His words themselves as He commanded (John 5:39-40; 2 Timothy 2:15, etc.).
SOON as you see a “Christian” movie being advertised and they show a catholic church, a temple of idols, as if that represents the true church Jesus has in the earth, you can know of certainty that the blind wolves who created that stupid movie are misleading people (Luke 6:39). The same is true when you dig a bit and find out that the movie is done by catholics who are pagan idolaters. Beware saints (1 John 4:1). The godly gain their view of God from HIS own mouth, straight out of HIS Word (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
Whenever the world touches the things of God, they do so to pervert it. Remember every unsaved person is under the control of Satan who is called “the prince of the power of the air.” (Ephesians 2:1-3)
Of The Chosen, Neil Hosken writes:
“The fact Mary Magdalena went back to her old profession was too much. We’ve had a few episodes at Bible study. Every week I’ve said, ‘This is not nearly like the Bible.’ You point out that people are too lazy to read Bible, they fall asleep at church even if they are listening to false teachers. So TV is an easy option. I could go on, but your point is spot on.”
WARNING: You are throwing your eternal soul to the winds of hell if you have chosen to depend on other men and their productions (movies, fake “bibles”, etc.) to tell you about your Maker and what He requires of you – instead of allowing God to speak for Himself to your heart and life directly via His Word (KJB for the English speaking). Hell awaits (Mark 8:34-38; Luke 16:19-31, etc.).
God’s Word will not, cannot get into you until you get into it!
100% Clear proof that anyone who ever promoted this production is under “the spirit of antichrist” and in need of real repentance now – before it’s too late (1 John 4:1-3). Whoever would do such could not have been led by the Holy Spirit of God but rather the enemy of all souls (Romans 8:14).
Any person who has promoted this ecumenical project is under the control of “the spirit of antichrist” and here’s the clear proof (1 John 4:1-3). The wise will repent. The foolish will only plunge deeper into darkness (Proverbs 9:8-10).
Are you bidding Godspeed to the wicked? If so, do you realize that you will be judged with the false prophets you endorsed?
“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 9-11
The Drama Deception
The dramatic arts have been around for 2,500 years. “The history of theatre charts the development of theatre over the past 2,500 years.” So, why didn’t Jesus, why didn’t Paul or any of the other apostles create, set up, or send people to watch a dramatic, cinematic presentation of the Gospel? The only people doing such are those Satan is using to mislead you and others. And then they get you involved as you run out and tell others to watch THE CHOSEN or some other demonically rooted presentation. The mormons are behind this production. And we know that a blessed, good fruit cannot come out of a cursed root. Beware.
Watching a dramatic presentation of the Bible, supposedly, takes quite a lot of extra work to discern, to decipher if it’s true or not. This is about it – If you don’t go to the passages that are supposedly being acted out, portrayed in the drama, you don’t know what’s added or being left out or how accurate it is. Right? Right. Why bother? Why not just read God’s Word for yourself as He told you to do?
Any and every Bible dramatized production is always going to misrepresent what the Scriptures say – 100% of the time. The same goes for those who have re-translated the Bible and corrupted it horrifically in the new versions – when we already had the promised, preserved Word of God for the English speaking peoples in the King James Bible.
The nearer we draw to the return of our LORD, the further the mainstream modern “church” departs from the original Gospel message.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
Notice the Holy Spirit inspired instructed Timothy to “Preach the word” and not to dramatize or portray it. Stop and think about that.
Also the LORD foretells here that those professing Christ in the final days, those with a mere “form of godliness”, will “not endure (hold themselves accountable to) sound doctrine.”
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 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; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (stories).” 2 Timothy 4:2-4
To even allow someone else other than God, to explain who God is and His will, gives place to the devil whose mission is “to steal, to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10)
“Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:5
Only the pure Word of God clearly, divinely sets forth and projects the truth and image of God.
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17
Whenever man taints, changes, waters down, adds to, or removes from that plain, divinely inspired script of Holy Scripture, the content and projection, the message is changed, is altered, is falsified.
“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
Anyone who trusts man instead of God does not fear the LORD.
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7
Those who go anywhere else except to God’s Word to study Him are erring at best. What they are doing is trusting man to tell them about God instead of hearing what God says about Himself for Himself.
“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47
When a person chooses to trust man and not God to tell you who He is, they forsake the LORD. Read Jeremiah 17.
Anyone who believes sinful man won’t change the message of God’s Word is very gullible.
Stop looking to sinful man to tell you about God! Seek God in His Word so He can reveal to you who He is the way He prescribed.
“Thanks for exposing this. Man choose movies (lazy) over reading the Bible (where the truth is).” Meme
One lady commented, calling anyone who doesn’t like The Chosen a Pharisee. One can observe that whenever someone is emotionally attached to a supposedly biblical production, even when it’s not biblical (which is normally the case), everyone who disagrees with them, is now a “Pharisee.” And, yet they have no biblical foundation for what they are saying. The Chosen is a deception. Good fruit cannot come from a cursed root (Jeremiah 17:5; Matthew 12:33, etc.). Stop expecting such!
All who trust in man are cursed.
“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.” Jeremiah 17:5-6
Please explain how a cursed root can bring forth good fruit? Waiting… and if you even attempt to explain such, you call the Son of God a liar (Matthew 12:33).
If you bought this “Chosen” package, satan and his human agents are laughing you all the way to the bank and perhaps to hell.
Those who aren’t diligently, daily, engrossed in God’s Word don’t even know it and therefore can’t tell what’s being perverted, what’s true and what’s false when they watch some supposedly dramatic presentation of it. Lack of knowledge of God’s Word is intentional and brings destruction – now and forever.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
God gave us His written Word in order to know Him – straight from HIS mouth with no poisoning, tainting, slighting, or adding to from sinful men. And, He commands You to study it in order to know Him.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God (YOU DO IT), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
One can only rightly divide the Word of truth if he’s studying it for himself.
Isn’t it high time to repent and cut off the sensual, the way something makes you feel? Satan can make you feel all kinds of good as he leads you straight to hell. Die to it. Crucify the emotional sentiment and walk in the truth.
Jonathan Roumie is an Antichrist
In a recent video interview, Jonathan Roumie, sitting with Catholic pagan, occultic worship garb hanging all over the wall behind him, says that his favorite thing about being Catholic is the Eucharist, the diabolical Catholic communion – where they pretend to be re-sacrificing Jesus at every mass which is an antichrist blasphemous ritual that denies the perfect one-time payment for all sins at the cross where Jesus declared “It is finished” which mean “paid in full.” (John 19:30; Hebrews 10:10; 1 Peter 3:18) | Catholic Mass Exposed by Ex-Catholic Priest
Had friends telling me to watch it but something inside said “no” as usual…. BECAUSE WE HAVE A BIBLE….. hell bound people don’t love Jesus enough to read HIS Word for themselves! Were those friends who told me to watch The Chosen being led by the Holy Spirit or Satan? Satan.
“For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)” Ephesians 5:9
“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5
With no exception, all true followers of Jesus uphold His written Word as the final divine authority of their lives and the Christian faith.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17
God gave us His written Word and nothing else for …
- Doctrine
- Reproof
- Correction
- Instruction in righteousness
No man can possibly be “perfect (mature in Christ), throughly furnished” without a through and through knowledge of the Word of God.
The true disciple of Jesus lets God speak for Himself – in HIS Word where the very “thoughts of his heart” are revealed to us (Psalms 33:11).
God has chosen to teach us, to reveal to us who He is through His Word.
“And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Luke 4:4
ANY person who was saved in the past and is now not in God’s Word daily, is backslidden (Luke 4:4; James 1:23-25).
If you aren’t in God’s Word daily, He’s not your “first love” and He’s calling you to repent before it’s too late (Revelation 2:4-5).
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield (protection) unto them that put their trust in him.” Proverbs 30:5
There’s only one place of protection – God’s Word. Get into it or perish. Repent now.
You claim to love God and yet He’s not important enough to you to be in His Word daily? Please explain…. better yet, repent and return to Jesus as the “FIRST love” of your life before it’s too late (Revelation 2:4-5; 3:15-19, etc.). King James Bible and not the many cheap substitute fake “bibles.” | Bible Version Issue – Fake “Bibles” Exposed
Those truly known of the LORD don’t go to sinful men to find out who the LORD is and what His instructions are. No, instead, they learn who He is by what HE says in His Word and are therefore never moved or run out to watch any man’s productions about God… especially not from a pagan (mormon) source.
“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:19-21
It’s time for you to shut your mouth and get into God’s Word for yourself as if your life depended on it – because it does.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105
Those who look to a movie or book or man’s productions for their theology do so because they are lost souls. Every true disciple of Jesus gets his view of God, his doctrine, straight from the LORD – in the Bible! Repent now sinner.
“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Matthew 12:33-34
There’s no way a blessed fruit can come forth from a cursed root. The root determines the truth (Romans 11:16). The fact that this movie involves mormons tells us all we have to know about it. The Root Determines the Fruit [podcast]
A cursed root equals cursed fruit.
“But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:20-22
Instead of studying God’s Word daily for themselves as the LORD commanded, the foolish counterfeits among us are always looking for the next documentary, docuseries, or movie satan’s pawns put out. These people are departed from Christ – they do not love the truth and God Himself has turned them over to “strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be DAMNED.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) Yes, if you don’t love and obey the truth of the Word of God you are under “strong delusion” and guaranteed to be “damned” to hell and the lake of fire eternally, irrevocably.
“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
Those not in Christ truly, loving and obeying His truth are under “the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”
Ever notice that the same demonic pawns who run around encouraging everyone to watch The Chosen or some other delusion are never heard encouraging those around them to GET INTO GOD’S WORD for themselves?! God commanded it and all who refuse prove they do not love the LORD and His truth and will perish, sure as they are breathing. Repent now vile sinner. Lay down your life and follow Jesus for real.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
“Jonathan Roumie, the “Jesus” actor from THE CHOSEN is a CATHOLIC knighted into the order of the KNIGHTS OF MALTA.” Erik van Niekerk
“Come out of her” or perish.
Stop to discern: There is no cross, no repentance, no saving grace, no blood of Jesus, no Christology (the study of Christ), no holiness, no Heaven, no hell, no salvation by grace through faith, and no return of Christ in this false gospel message. These people are agents of Satan and are “accursed” of God for preaching “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) WHO do you fear? God is calling you to “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” (Revelation 18:4)
“You know a Jesuit was used as a Consultant in this made up series don’t you? A lot of Catholicism. I agree with many things Newsmax or sometimes what I call Faux News says. I noticed though Every time Newsmax interviews a Baptist or whatever, the images they show of a church is always full of Catholic stuff. They usually say people of Faith instead of Christians. They interviewed a guy not long ago and again, you have images of a child praying with the beads and crucifix. A big Cathedral looking building, subtil just like the serpent. They talk all patriotic, but they lean toward and lure people toward Rome. Same with Fox. They’re all Catholic on both stations, even liberal Rachel Maddow is of MSNBC. Her and Roger Aisles who was 2nd in charge of Fox when he was alive were college friends. Rachel has said she’s gay and very Catholic. Some say they think the Antichrist will come from Europe, but most people that started the U.S. came from Europe. It seems Rome has it’s claws in High places of Government, Law, Media, and Entertainment in America. Yea this trash TV series I see people leaving comments on how they love it and some say ‘that’s just how I imagined Jesus to be’. ‘Imagined’ being the key word here, all it does is add and take away from God’s Word.” Dale
“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:11
SO you have the wherewithal to tell someone to watch the Catholic production called “The Chosen” but not to tell people to get into God’s Word for themselves? Repent now and be saved before it’s too late you vile sinner. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17, etc.
FROM A FRIEND: “This is a post that was sent to me over the chosen, I really liked this show, but the director is ecumenical, he is being interviewed by a Mormon. And Dallas says that Bible believing Christians believe in the same Jesus. I stopped watching and supporting it.”
“How sad to be given the privilege to play the part of Jesus, yet to be under the influence of satan. He is an actor getting paid and nothing else to go with it but evil in his real life. Never watched the Chosen and will cross it off my list.” Ron
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
There’s no such thing as an idol worshipping born again Christian.
2 Corinthians 11:2-5 speaks of “another Jesus” and that would be what Catholics worship.
Idols and Devils are Inseparable – All who worship 1 or more idols have devils!
“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship DEVILS, and IDOLS of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:” Revelation 9:20
The Roman Catholic Cult is the Land of Idols, Soul Damning Idolatry
The ancient Roman cult teaches that the elements, the wheat and wine, literally become the actual, literal body and blood of Jesus Christ when the costume-clad sinner “priest” waves his hand over those elements.
CATHOLIC EUCHARIST: Hocus Pocus, and wham, wheat becomes the eternal God of the whole Universe, right? This is bizarre at best. You are smarter than that. Where’s the DNA proof? There is none and will never be. Many Christians believe that the Christian tradition of communion is the same as the Catholic tradition of the Eucharist. But this is not so. The Eucharist (i.e., Transubstantiation) is a Catholic term for communion when the bread and the wine supposedly become the very, the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ; thus when taken, the partaker is said to experience the presence of Jesus but we know that’s a demon, “another Jesus” and not Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 11:4). These transformed elements are placed in what is called a monstrance and can then be worshipped as if worshipping Jesus Himself. The implications are tied in with salvation. In the Catholic system, with the Eucharist, salvation becomes sacramental which is a participation in the mass which is a dark ritual that supposes to re-sacrifice Christ. And that means they deny His perfect sacrifice on the cross. It denies His one time sinless sacrifice He made on the cross and said “It is finished” which means “paid in full.” (John 19:30) This is diametrically opposed to biblical doctrine, essential of justification by faith in Christ alone (Romans 5:1-2, etc.). This mystical experience called the Eucharist is clearly a form of gross idolatry and more as well as the very heart of Catholicism. The Catholic religion stands or falls on this their most cardinal dogma. And it’s a fail because they simply cannot prove to the DNA level with empirical evidence that the elements become anything other than simple wheat (bread) and wine (or grape juice). Debunked.
WILL THE REAL SAVIOR PLEASE STAND UP – is a wheat wafer the way people, eternal souls are saved from sin and eternal damnation? OR is Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, the only way, as the Bible teaches us? (John 14:6) Was a piece of wheat born of a virgin? Did a piece of wheat die on that cross? Was a piece of wheat raised from the dead? OR, was the Son of God? Jesus’ teaching in John 6 is not about communion. Has nothing to do with it.
CATHOLIC TEACHING ON TRANSUBSTANTIATION is a complete theological statement and the name of a doctrine, out of which springs the most astounding set of beliefs and practices that have ever been taught in the name of religion. Yet few people know what the Catholic Church actually believes and teaches concerning this subject.
>>>TRANSUBSTANTIATION CHALLENGE: PLEASE PROVIDE “EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE” – If the wheat wafer and wine TRULY become the actual and literal body & blood of Jesus Christ, as the Catholic church teaches, then let’s do a DNA test to see what the composition of the elements truly are. That fair? Clue: Do they taste like flesh and blood, or bread and wine?
CATHOLIC MASS IS CLEARLY A MOCKERY AND BLASPHEMY AGAINST CHRIST’S FINISHED WORK – it supposes to re-sacrifice Christ who paid ONCE for all sins on the cross according to God’s Word.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS A RELIGION OF MERE SINFUL MEN WHILE CHRISTIANITY IS ALL ABOUT JESUS AND HIS WORD AND HOW HE DIED FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
THE MASS IMPARTS NO GRACE – ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT.
DID YOU KNOW THAT drinking blood is forbidden by God? Lev 7:27 “Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people” BOTH TESTAMENTS CONDEMN DRINKING BLOOD – ACTS 15:28. So, why would the Son of God instruct us to do such (transubstantiation)??
Ask yourself …DID JESUS TELL HIS DISCIPLES TO GATHER WITH CUPS IN HAND UNDER THE CROSS WHILE HE WAS DYING SO THEY COULD GET SOME OF HIS LITERAL BLOOD TO DRINK? WHY WOULD THE SON OF GOD TEACH ANYONE TO DRINK BLOOD – SOMETHING HE FORBIDS?
JESUS WOULD NEVER DO A “MIRACLE” (transubstantiation) CONTRADICTING WHAT HE ALREADY TOLD US IN HIS WORD – that drinking blood is a sin?
Jesus says we must repent to be saved (Luke 13:3,5) NO REPENTANCE NEEDED TO SIMPLY INGEST (EAT) A PIECE OF WHEAT weekly, right?
HELL IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO WENT TO A CHURCH BUILDING AND TOOK A PIECE OF WHEAT IN THEIR MOUTHS – THINKING THEY WERE RECEIVING JESUS.
Do YOU personally believe the elements become the ACTUAL body and blood of Jesus????? Are you that dishonest? If this were true, where’s the DNA evidence that the wheat you eat is Jesus’ actual flesh and the wine is His literal blood?
Biblical communion is a memorial of the love of Jesus for us, of His death on the cross, not the worship of a piece of mere wheat, deceitfully pretending to cannibalistically eat the actual, literal body of Jesus, something He never told us to do, nor drink His blood. No, instead of drinking His literal blood, the Bible says we are justified by God as we have “faith in his blood.” (Romans 3:25)
Salvation is through Christ, the divine Person. The Catholic “jesus” is a piece of wheat that supposedly becomes God.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9

The Truth about Yoga [podcast]

Yoga brings demon possession which keeps the person captive to the lie – that they have to do their little séance breathing technique. They have to keep doing their little witchcraft drill. That’s just it – it doesn’t work.
Your silly little yoga pose won’t forgive your sins, give you peace, or save you from going to hell.
“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:21-22
WHAT kind of absolute pansy of a “man” feels like a man after doing yoga? Get a clue. NO ONE needs yoga to stretch and work out. That’s what gyms are for. Delusional. God is calling you to repent and get a spine.
DABBLE WITH YOGA AND YOU’VE GOT DEMONS!
The devil is slick…and sick…. yet can only fool those who are outside God’s will (James 4:7). Example: WHO ever said one needs yoga for relaxation or exercise? Delusional. Repent and break all bonds with this demonically-yoking practice.
There’s no such thing as a Christian who does yoga.
ANY person doing yoga has demons! Any company or organization promoting or allowing it, is demonic. 100%. Repent now sinner.
Yoga is a diabolical placebo, a cheap substitute for what you truly need. You need Jesus to forgive your sins, sinner. Turn to Him in humility and in full repentance.
It doesn’t matter how widespread the advertising push is for yoga, it’s still witchcraft. Why add the witchcraft? What’s Revelation 12:12 say?
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. 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
by Debbie Lord
DID YOU KNOW?
The serpent (Satan) described in Genesis 3 as the most subtle of all beasts of the field, has deceptively presented yoga to the world as “innocent” exercise and “a positive” experience just as he did when he approached Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, challenging God’s words, in essence calling Him a liar: “Hath God said?”… and thus begins the elevating of the creation over the Creator.
All around us, the name of our most holy God is taken in vain, while the popularity of yoga (the worship of beasts, nature, Hindu gods etc.) increases. A shift like this doesn’t just happen casually or by coincidence. The Enemy of our souls is at work 24/7 scheming his way into our societies by dethroning The One True God (the Creator of the universe and everything in it) by deceiving us into physically paying homage and bowing down to other gods by elevating the creation above the Creator through the practice of yoga.
The practice of yoga has become so common in the U.S. and the western world that we see the motions and concepts all around us on TV, in commercials, movies, all forms of entertainment media and in our every-day lives. It is common to see someone strike a yoga pose or put the palms of their hands together and make a bowing gesture. It appears so kind, gentle and gracious … innocent, right? Here is the real meaning and the root from which this position is derived:
“Namaste”—the word spoken in conjunction with the bow—”translated roughly, means ‘I bow to the God within you,’ or ‘The Spirit within me salutes the Spirit in you’—a knowing that we are all made from the same One Divine Consciousness.“ Urban Dictionary
Yoga means “to yoke with.” Just exactly who or what are you “yoking with”?
Portions of article by Julie Roys:
The word yoga is problematic. Yoga means “to yoke.”… using the word begs the question, “Yoked to whom?” …the postures and techniques of yoga were designed to be offerings to the millions of Hindu gods. But ultimately, yoga was intended to yoke a person to the so-called “Lord of Yoga” – Shiva, the destroyer. …these realities make yoga, regardless of how it’s packaged, incompatible with Christianity.
Quotes from The Chopra Center:
“When you bow your head and say namasté at the end of a yoga practice, you have the chance to do more than simply mark the ending of the session. In fact, a spiritual revelation is on the other side of a truly felt namaste.”
“One of the most common translations of namasté is ‘The divine light in me bows to the divine light within you,’ and ‘I honor the place in you where the entire universe dwells.'”
All of the above fly in the face of the Truth of God as Creator of the universe and everything in it, and that we humans are God’s creation (not the Creator) as told to us in His holy Word—the Bible. God is holy “set apart” and “other than.”
“Hinduism is pantheistic and teaches that god is in everything — its 330 million gods, plants, animals, and every human being. So, to salute the divine in another person makes total sense to a Hindu.
“Christianity, however, teaches that God is transcendent and distinct from His creation. Though it’s true that the Holy Spirit resides in each believer, the Holy Spirit does not bow to himself in other believers saying, … ‘That light in me honors that light in you.’ According to Scripture, the Holy Spirit honors the Father and the Son. And a Christian’s worship, though emerging from within him, should always be directed upward and outward. So, the Psalmist says, ‘I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.’ In Christianity, we, the creature, direct our worship to the Creator.” Author Unknown
The yoga fad that is exploding in popularity world-wide is more than a passing fad, it is one more step toward the slippery slope of the Christ-denying apostasy of the church.
You may say: “Yoga exercises help my body. It works for me.” But by what power is it working? Satan is setting the stage for the great deception of the world and the church for false miracles in the end times.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;” Isaiah 5:20
Quote from John Edmiston: “The end-times religion will be both idolatrous and magical. Idolatry is the substitution of the creature for the Creator. Magic is any system that claims to give people access to God’s power without having to accept God’s will.” John Edmiston, False Miracles in The End Times
Yes, there are many professing Christians who fail to understand the origins and power at the root of the practice of yoga. And yes, there are several different kinds of yoga, however, they all have the same origin and root.
At the very root of every kind of yoga, each physical posture is pointing toward, bringing attention to (worshiping) and is even named after an animal, an element of nature and false gods.
Yoga has its roots in Hinduism, which espouses that “God” is in every living thing and so the creation itself should be worshiped.
If you say: “Well, to me it’s just stretching, concentration, balance and strengthening exercises” . . . then why is the class named “Yoga”?
Why would you choose to knowingly, intentionally engage in a practice that has at its core, denial of the supremacy of the very God you say you believe in, and by participation are giving your body over to worship other gods—even Satan himself?
Quote from wikipedia regarding one kind of yoga—Kundalini Yoga
“It was adopted as a technical term in Hatha yoga during the 15th century, and became widely used in the Yoga Upanishads by the 16th century. Eknath Easwaran has paraphrased the term as ‘the coiled power’, a force which ordinarily rests at the base of the spine, described as being ‘coiled there like a serpent.’”
“Coiled like a serpent.”
Again, just who or what are you “yoking with”?
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14
How many times have you heard “I just take the class for the exercise—I’m real careful to stay away from the spiritual part of it.”
How can that even be possible when the very positions (poses) themselves are based on positions that focus on/elevate an animal, nature or a Hindu god?
How can you separate one from the other?
“Choose you this day whom ye will serve” (Joshua 24:15).
“What? Know ye not that your BODY is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: Therefore glorify God in your BODY, and in your spirit which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
If you are a Christian who participates in “harmless” yoga exercises, are you asking the Holy Ghost within you to worship a Hindu god or a creature rather than the Creator, the One True God? Do you think the Holy Ghost is going to stick around for that?
“And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and BODY be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
Are you willfully, not only limiting but actually rebelling against the Lord’s sanctification in your spirit, soul and body?
“I beseech ye therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2
How can you as a Christian do one thing in your spirit and do exactly the opposite with your body? Impossible.
“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:6-8
You may have heard the saying by Hudson Taylor: “Christ is either Lord of all or He is not Lord at all.”
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.” Matthew 6:24
“Choose you this day whom you will serve.” See Joshua 24:14-16
Still some will say: “Well, still, in my spirit, I’m not serving the gods of Hinduism, I’m praying to the one true God all the time I’m doing yoga”
Read Romans 12:1 again (above).
So, is it important what you willfully choose for your body do?
The Apostle Paul said: “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” (1 Corinthians 9:27).
What chances are you willing to take, how far are you willing to go even if the consequence of your choice may result in being cast away from God?
Are you willing to risk being cast away from God and His presence for eternity?
Even if you can’t bring yourself to think there’s a possibility that what is put forth in this article is true and should be applied to your life and exercise routine, are you really ready to gamble with your eternal destination by continuing to willfully, purposely engage in yoga exercise?
There are alternatives. There are classes out there that engage in stretching, cardio, balance and strengthening exercises that do not have their roots in the practice of yoga. Prayerfully seek them out.
Hint: The word “Yoga” will not be anywhere in the title of the class.
Yoga is Satanic | Kundalini Witchcraft in the Church
UPDATE FROM SISTER DEBBIE LORD:
Had good time of fellowship with the 2 ladies that came over this afternoon.
Conversation moved to the practice of yoga!
So, we had our first Bible study together and prayed
a prayer of repentance, deliverance and cleansing of its
effects. We included all of us in the prayer and it was
especially for one lady who expressed verbally her horror
at what she had done in participating in yoga in any way.
The Holy Spirit had already been preparing her heart.
This revelation re yoga triggered another question about “rock stacking” (Cairns) so we looked into it together and found that they have many meanings — one is simply for hiking trail directions so you don’t get lost, but have also been used for centuries for burial and other ritual ceremonies. Schools have used the practice of building Cairns inside the classroom so that their students can “reflect on themselves and realize what their priorities in life are, a form of meditation tool.” Idol worship and witchcraft.
This info caused us to pray for increased Holy Spirit discernment and awareness of what’s going on around us in this world — including the church world.
YOGA IS SATANIC: IF you’re doing yoga, you’ve got demons. Repent and denounce it now.

Beware of the Crown Stealers! [video]

by Glenn and Dezi Langohr
“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:11
In the next teaching we are going to go over all of PAUL’S WRITINGS that false teachers manipulate.
False teachers today — OSAS, Hyper-Dispensationalists, Free Gracers, and Pretribbers — are crown stealers . They twist Paul’s writings to promise a salvation that requires no endurance, obedience, or holiness. But Jesus and Paul speak the same Gospel . Jesus warned through parables: some hear the Word with joy but fall away in tribulation ; servants who neglect their calling are cut off ; virgins without oil are shut out of the wedding feast ; unprofitable servants are cast into outer darkness . These mysteries of the Kingdom reveal that salvation is conditional — not “once saved, always saved.”
Paul confirmed the same truth . He warned believers not to believe in vain (1 Cor 15:2), to run the race and fight the good fight of faith (1 Cor 9:24; 1 Tim 6:12), to hold faith with a good conscience or risk shipwreck , and to lay hold of eternal life through endurance. He declared that believers can be cut off if they do not continue in God’s goodness (Rom 11:22). He said Christ could be hindered from being fully formed in the heart (Gal 4:19). He exhorted believers to test themselves to see if they were truly in the faith, warning that without Christ in them, they would be reprobates (2 Cor 13:5). He even named names FOR CAUSING OTHERS TO SHIPWRECK THEIR FAITH LIKE PRETRIBBERS DO— Hymenaeus, Philetus, and Demas FOR FORSAKING PAUL DURING PERSECUTION FOR A LOVE OF THIS PRESENT WORLD — DEMAS was a fellow laborer with Paul so let that sink in. Paul preached the full counsel of God (Acts 20:27), the same Kingdom Gospel Jesus proclaimed, not a new “Paul’s gospel.”
Revelation seals the testimony . Jesus calls His churches to repent, endure, and overcome — warning that names can be blotted from the Book of Life (Rev 3:5) , crowns can be stolen (Rev 3:11) , and lukewarm believers will be rejected (Rev 3:16). Seven blessings are promised to the faithful: eating of the Tree of Life, the crown of life, hidden manna, authority to reign, the first resurrection, entering New Jerusalem, and eternal life with God. But alongside these blessings are terrifying judgments : beast worshippers tormented forever, Babylon’s fall, the great white throne, and the fearful and unbelieving cast into the lake of fire. The conclusion is clear: endure, overcome, hold fast — let no man steal your crown .

“Them that Seduce You” 1 John 2:26 [podcast]

From the book I Die Daily
“Them that Seduce You” 1 John 2:26
“He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.” Matthew 27:42
“Come down from the cross” is the cry of the enemy of all souls. Here he inspired God-less men to tempt Christ to not complete the work of redemption. In the same way, today, God-less pulpiteers and writers say nothing of the daily cross Christ commanded to be taken up by any person who would follow Him (Luke 9:23-24). These are the very “enemies of the cross of Christ” Paul warned us about (Philippians 3:18-19). Of this phenomenon, a disciple writes:
“Satan works both angles. First, he tried to keep Jesus (and us as His body) from going to or staying on the cross. On the other hand, he puts us on the cross as per what he did through Judas, the high priests of Judaism, and Pilate, and the Romans. Satan is somewhat schizophrenic as to this. But 1 Corinthians 2:8 is making the point that had he, the main prince and his underling princes, if they had known what they were doing (defeating themselves as a house divided), they would never have crucified the Lord of Glory. Satan’s house is a house divided against itself and is therefore laid waste by his own forces just as Jesus stated in Matthew 12. Peter himself reviled Jesus when Christ told him He would be going to the cross. Jesus attributed that work to Satan.”
When Peter, being used of Satan spoke, the Son of God turned, and said to Peter…
“Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:23-26
Here Jesus spoke not only of the necessity of His own redeeming cross, but also of the daily cross to be taken up by each and every one of those who would follow Him. This should forever underscore and cement in our understanding the necessity of the daily cross.
One preacher wrote:
“Galatians 2:20 says, ‘I am crucified with Christ,’ and Romans 6:5 says, ‘For if we have been planted (united) together in the likeness of His death.’ These are both in the Greek perfect verb tense.
This indicates a past event WITH CONTINUING EFFECTS. So, it could literally say ‘I have been and continue to be crucified with Christ’ and ‘For if we have been and continue to be planted ….’ Romans 8:36, 2 Corinthians 4:10, and 1 Corinthians 15:31 clearly speak of a daily death with Christ.
Ephesians 4:22-24 talks of a continual putting off (death) of the old man, as does 2 Corinthians 4:16. Martin Luther taught of a daily Spirit baptism and called it ‘dying upward.’ These people who teach otherwise resist the daily cross. This is the error of triumphalism.
As we appropriate the finished work daily, we become more
and more what we already are. We possess our possessions.
Compare Colossians 3:3 with Colossians 3:5.
Let’s take the advice above and put together verses 3 and 5
of Colossians 3: “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ
in God … Mortify therefore your members which are upon the
earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil
concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry.”
T. Austin-Sparks stated the following:
We have not to die; we are dead. What we have to do is to
accept our death … In baptism … we simply step in there and
say, ‘That position which God has settled with reference to
me is the one which I now accept, and I testify here in this
way to the fact that I have accepted God’s position for me,
namely, that in the Cross I have been brought to an end.’
The true disciple is always “delivered unto death for Jesus’
sake” (2 Cor. 4:11.) He has “crucified the flesh with the
affections and lusts” (Gal. 5:24). He is daily putting to death
“the deeds of the body” and being “raised up” by the power of
the same Holy Spirit “that raised up Christ from the dead”
(Rom. 8:11, 13). He rejoices in “Christ Jesus” and has “no
confidence in the flesh” (Philippians 3:3).
“I die daily … Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake … that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 1 Corinthians 15:31; 2 Corinthians
4:10-12
Concerning the raising up process of the Gospel of God, T. Austin-Sparks wrote:
“The unalterable basis of an open heaven is a grave, and a
crisis at which you come to an end of your own self-life. It is
the crisis of real experiential identification with Christ in His
death.”
Though we entered into His death upon initial salvation, accepting and experiencing that death is still a daily choice, an individual decision to be made on an ongoing basis. One’s choice to continue to persevere, following Christ as He clearly prescribed, will determine his eternal destination (Luke 9:62; 19:13; 21:19; Romans 6:16; Galatians 6:7-9).
The insidious circumventing of the cross can come in many clandestine ways that are masked with pious outer garb. Today, while refusing to utter the full counsel of the One they claim to be representing, smiling and charismatic men stand in sheep’s clothing, promising heavenly life to those who live in sin. They only prosper due to the volitional biblical illiteracy of the masses. Ignorance of the truth is a choice with eternal consequences (Hosea 4:6; Matthew 22:29; 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).
Many like to hide behind works they do in and surrounding their local church home. They relish singing in the choir, ushering, doing drama or being a part of the technical team, helping in various ways, or even preaching a message, and yet the life of Christ is not manifesting in their personal lives as they go out into their world daily. His light in them is not bright enough to shine into the darkened hearts of men through personal evangelism. They have been steeped in a mere formula of godliness that does not manifest the evidential fruit of one who is truly in Christ, radiant by His glory, and flourishing in His life. A. W. Tozer wrote:
Another substitute for discipleship is: Our Lord referred to
this when He reproached the Pharisees for their habit of
tithing mint and anise and cumin while at the same time
omitting the weightier matters of the Law such as justice,
mercy and faith. Literalism manifests itself among us in
many ways, but it can always be identified in that it lives by
the letter of the Word while ignoring its spirit. It habitually
fails to apprehend the inward meaning of Christ’s words,
and contents itself with external compliance with the text.
If Christ commands baptism, for instance, it finds
fulfillment in the act of water baptism, but the radical
meaning of the act as explained in Romans 6 is completely
overlooked. It reads the Scriptures regularly, contributes
consistently to religious work, attends church every Sunday
and otherwise carries on the common duties of a Christian
and for this it is to be commended. Its tragic breakdown is
its failure to comprehend the Lordship of Christ, the
believer’s discipleship, separation from the world and the
crucifixion of the natural man.
Literalism attempts to build a holy temple upon the sandy
foundation of the religious self. It will suffer, sacrifice and
labor, but it will not die. It is Adam at his pious best, but it
has never denied self to take up the cross and follow Christ.”
Prayer—Forgive me, Lord, for trying to follow You without taking up that self-death instrument daily.
Yet another way the depraved heart, cloaked fully in a mere form of religion, seeks to circumvent the work of the cross, is by denying or ignoring that there is a cross to take up “daily.” The one whose theology is undergirded and poisoned with the unconditional eternal security lie, must resist all personal responsibility. He must take the line of least resistance. He is a moral coward, who while feigning to be walking in grace, has actually acquiesced to such a mythical position in order to avoid dying the death.
He refuses to buy into the truth of the Gospel when it threatens his own personal comfort zone he has built around himself, using half-truths and twisted and convoluted blends of philosophy, clichés, and Scripture. At all cost, he must remain intoxicated with the lie that he can do nothing to violate and fail the grace of God, and forfeit his place with God, which he erroneously believes is eternally secure—no matter what rebellion he may choose to commit against Him who is “Holy, holy, holy” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). So, he must fight the truth violently using his keyboard, pulpit, or pen to defend his paper-thin position. He must at all costs make sure anyone he leads believes that “God requires nothing of him, that salvation is of the LORD, and there is absolutely never any personal responsibility placed upon the individual recipient of salvation.”
What a tragic, fraudulent lie this deceiver is casting upon those naïve enough to give him ear! The bowels of hell have been nourished by millions who have bought this lie and have descended into the gaping and inescapable abyss (Isaiah 5:14). God forbid that anyone under the care of the “grace” deceiver be burdened with the slightest incentive or motivation to live holy, because in his evil theology, God Himself is no longer holy and just and doesn’t punish sin in His own people. Using whatever deceptive means and even Scripture-twisting, the deceiver will do away with all thought of personal responsibility from among his flock. He further seeks to lull them asleep with himself, as they bask in the lukewarmness of hell-bound Laodicea and those “at ease in Zion,” refusing to hear and hearken to the severe warning to turn back to the LORD—“Repent” and “Woe to them” (Amos 6:1; Revelation 3:14-21).
Circumventing Schemes
In order to accomplish keeping his flock asleep, the beguiler must only acknowledge the positional cross, while seeking to deny the experiential or daily cross Christ commanded His followers to take up (Matthew 10:38-39; Mark 8:34-39; Luke 9:23-24). Those who deny the “daily” cross Christ commanded, deny Christ (Mark 8:34-38). To deny His words is to deny Him (Mark 8:38; John 8:47; 14:21). Those who do not teach Christ’s command to deny self and take up the cross daily, hold a position of lawlessness; such are false teachers, “ungodly men” who are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (a license for sin)” (Romans 6:1-2, 15; Jude 3-4). We are to “earnestly contend” against them and the heresies they spread.
Concerning the “remnant” which is a descriptive word defining the only people to be eternally with Christ, Isaiah 37:31 says: “And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.” No one can “bear fruit upward” unless he is willing to humble himself “under the mighty hand of God.”
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” 1 Peter 5:6
The Last Days
God’s Word forewarns us that only a few among those once righteous will be in Heaven. “And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Peter 4:18).
With all the popular last days type books in print, it is regrettable that few of them if any deal with readiness as the Scriptures present it. The human authors seem to completely overlook such an essential truth, because they have been schooled in this cross-denying way themselves. They completely overlook Christ’s severe words of warning in Luke 21:34-36. The typical modern church posture is that if one has at some moment in the past received Christ, he is forever and indelibly secure for Heaven no matter what, with no possibility of losing out with God. Is this what the Bible teaches us?
Great tribulation is coming, such as has never been experienced upon the earth. “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21).
We are told by the Son of God that only those with the oil of God in their vessels will be admitted into the marriage feast of the Lamb (Matthew 25:1-13). Only those who are intently connected with Jesus Christ, foregoing the things that would hinder their relationship with Him, will “escape all these things that shall come to pass.”
“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:34-36
He told us that if we will overcome and be with Him, we must “be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” By this we know that some shall not “escape.”
The LORD Jesus beckoned those who would follow Him to the end, to be waiting and ready for His imminent and pending return:
“Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning. And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Luke 12:35-40
The enduring saints must discern keenly, and the only way to do such is to fully repent, love Him personally and supremely, and cast off all worldly ties that draw us from the Bridegroom (Revelation 3:14-18).
In order to escape this promised and epidemic onslaught of the enemy of God, one must be daily “crucified with Christ,” being separate from iniquity and abiding in Christ (John 15:1-6; Galatians 2:20). It is only in being “dead” that we are “hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). It is only in experiencing His “death” that His “life” can work in us and through us to others (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). It is only in taking “root downward” that He will raise us up to “bear fruit upward” (Isaiah 37:31).
As was prophesied, the enemy’s seduction of souls is in full swing and ever-increasing as the time of the return of Jesus draws nigh:
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.
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
In the above passage, those who are already safe with Him in Heaven are told to “rejoice,” while those who remain upon the earth in this last hour are solemnly warned to beware because “the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Perhaps there would yet remain among us some who are still ignorant of the devices of the enemy, and not so sure about the activities he is perpetrating among the remnant. Listen closely to what Jesus says concerning the final days which we are now living in:
These things have I written unto you concerning them that
seduce you (this is John’s inspired reason for writing to us). But
the anointing which ye have received of him abideth (remains)
in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same
anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie,
These things have I written unto you concerning them that
seduce you (this is John’s inspired reason for writing to us). But
the anointing which ye have received of him abideth (remains)
in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same
anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. And now,
little children, abide (remain) in him; that, when he shall
appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before
him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that
every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. Behold, what
manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we
should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth
us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons
of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we
know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we
shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him
(the hope of Christ’s soon return) purifieth himself, even as he
is pure. 1 John 2:26-3:3
According to these Holy Spirit inspired words penned by John the apostle, there are “many deceivers” seeking to “seduce you” (1 John 2:26; 2 John 7-11). One of the most insidious ways these wolves, who “lie in wait to deceive,” operate, is by refraining from preaching the true Gospel which includes the taking up of the daily cross (Matthew 16:24-27; Luke 9:23-24). If one will be safe in heavenly glory, never to suffer another iota of pain for all the eternal future, he must stay clear of the “many deceivers” who have answered the call of evil, and are sent forth to “deceive” those who would be prey due to:
• Having a lack of knowledge—not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God (Hosea 4:6; Matthew 22:29)
• Not watching and praying (Matthew 26:41)
• Not submitting to God (James 4:7)
• Not being crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20)
• Not being “dead” and having their lives “hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3)
• Not having their affections set upon things above (Colossians 3:1-4)
• Minding earthly things (Philippians 3:18-19)
There is abundant proof that so many today vainly believe they can have the benefits of the cross without the responsibility of the cross. They want the crown but not the cross. They are self-serving (“whose god is their belly”) and so desire to feel secure by trusting that because Christ died and was buried and rose again, they are safe.
As was long ago foretold, many in this deceived generation are trusting in Christ’s atoning death without their own personal participation. They call Him “Lord, Lord,” but in the end will hear the horrific words of termination, “Depart from me” (Matthew 7:21-23.) From His blessed presence they will be forever alienated, vanquished into “the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:11-15).
“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. 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? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (lawlessness).” Matthew 7:21-23
So many who claim the name of Christ conveniently ignore what Jesus said about taking up the cross and following Him to the end. In the riveting words listed in the above passage, did Jesus not tell us that only “he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” will be allowed into His Heaven? The daily denial of self, taking up the cross, and following Him is at the heart of the Gospel Jesus gave us.
According to the Son of God, overcomers will be allowed into Heaven and no one else (Revelation 2-3).
Readiness test:
• Are you daily taking up your cross? (Matthew 16:24-25)
• Do you daily deny yourself so that Christ can reign in your mortal body? (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:11-12)
• Are you following Christ in the way He prescribed? (Matthew 7:21; John 8:47; 1 John 2:3-6)
• Are you purifying your life of all that offends God? (Acts 15:9; 2 Corinthians 7:1; 1 John 3:3)
• Are you coming out from this sinful world system and the apostate religious system? (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; 1 John 2:14-17)
• In obedience to the LORD, are you remaining clear of any and all wolves, who preach or pen a cross-less gospel? (2 Corinthians. 11:2-5; Philippians 3:18-19)
• Are you learning yet more and more to hate this sinful and rebellious world system, lest you become the enemy of God? (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17)
• Are you daily in the Word so the Word is getting into you and washing your heart and mind of all that is not according to the mind of Christ? (Psalms 119:9, 11; Proverbs 4:4, 21; Jeremiah 15:16; John 15:3; Ephesians 5:26)
• Are you keeping your lamp full by daily communion with Jesus? (Matthew 25:1-13; 1 John 1:3-9)
• Are you abstaining from fleshly lusts and departing from all iniquity? (2 Timothy 2:19; 1 Peter 2:11)
• Are you overcoming the wiles of the enemy who seeks to seduce you from self-denial? (1 John 2:26-3:3)
• Are you watching and praying, so as to be blessed to take up your cross daily and not be seduced from essential obedience in following Christ? (Matthew 26:41; Luke 12:35-40)
• Are you watching and praying so as to escape all sin and remain ever ready for Christ’s soon appearing? (Proverbs 8:34; Matthew 26:41; Luke 21:34 -36)
• Are you calling others to come to the Fountain of living waters from which all life flows, and in which all blessings abide? (Revelation 22:17)
In this late hour, may God bless each of us—His children—to be in fellowship with those who are embracing instead of evading the daily cross, and who “call on the Lord out of a pure heart” (2 Timothy 2:22).
As we were long ago forewarned, the “great wrath” of the one who “knoweth that he hath but a short (brief) time” has “come down” upon us through an epidemic of apostate leaders, who like the deceivers of old, erroneously promise His eternal life to those who refuse to take up their crosses to follow Him (Jeremiah 23:17; Amos 9:10; 2 Peter 2; Jude 3-4). Beware! “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ” (Colossians 2:8).
PRAYER: Jesus, please deeply quicken Your holy fear in my inner most being. From this instant forward, I look fervently for Your soon return. Heavenly Father, I beg You to unite my heart to fear Thy name and make ultra-sensitive my conscience—to be so easily convicted upon the slightest thought that varies from Your holy will. Into Your hands, I now commend my spirit. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
