		<description>Now I *thought* that you might bite on that post! I commend you sir, on having the moral gumption to let it past moderation! Most people would have ignored it and  thrown it in the `too hard&#039; bin, as we are all only human and find criticism hard to bear! That&#039;s been my experience, anyway. 

I am fully aware about the first commandment forbidding idolatry.  Funny that Rome deleted it from the Decalogue. Not that she has the power to do so - she only *thinks* she has the power to change `times and laws&#039;. At a deeper level, anything elevated before God (like `self&#039; for instance) is idolatry. Not just food sacrificed to idols, or images of idols. Love of `self&#039; is the greatest idolatry of all. Hence the fall of Lucifer. But I stand by what I said - most commentators agree that in verse 13 Paul is determined that `he will not `eat meat’ (presumably which has been sacrificed to idols – this is how the majority of commentators view this verse) in case he causes his brother to offend.&#039; The interpretation you have taken, is clearly a wresting of the Scriptures. (I am sorry if I am offensive in saying this!)   

Indoctrinism?? More like everything I believe I have studied out for myself, *including* history! Doctrines which I *do not* ascribe to which are commonly accepted by Christendom include the Trinitarian doctrine, vicarious substitution, and the natural immortality of the `soul&#039;. All are doctrines which have their basis with Plato - and of course Greek philosophy *should have* nothing to do with Christianity.This of course makes me a rank heretic; but I don&#039;t mind at all as I don&#039;t bother going to Church anyway!  However - surprise, surprise - I *do* believe in the pre-incarnate Christ Whose pre-existence is from eternity. (If we can fathom such a concept - and I thought I might just sneak that one in, as by now most people are probably thinking that I deny the divinity of Christ and follow after legalistic conceptions of the atonement!) When I *did* attend Church at one time, I copped all types of indoctrinism from all types of people. On the one hand, the conservative brethren regarded me as a liberal. On the other hand, the liberals regarded me as legalistic!  Simply because I studied out Scripture for myself and came to my own conclusions. The truth of the matter is, I didn&#039;t belong to either camp. 

As for being deceived by the doctrines of men and the Mother of Harlots, if that were true, I would still be attending a Trinitarian Church and wallowing in doctrines which are derived from Rome (and initially Plato), wouldn&#039;t I? 

Shabbat Shalom.

		<description>Kymbo,

All your talk of theology, dispensationalism, Marcionism, reformation, counter-reformation, preterism, futurism, Calvinism, Protestantism, ecumenicalism, neo-platonism, allegorization, catholicism, is meaningless with regard to the subject at hand. All it does is reveal your religious indoctrinism.

The fact is Kymbo...

Our Heavenly Father Commanded us numerous times not to make idols.
He told us not to have anything to do with them.
He told us to destroy them.

Exodus 20:
2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; 
3 Do not have any other gods before me.
4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Deuteronomy 5:
6 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; 
7 you shall have no other gods before me.
8 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Exodus 34:
12 Take care not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, or it will become a snare among you.
13 You shall tear down their altars, break their pillars, and cut down their sacred poles
14 (for you shall worship no other god, because the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God).
15 You shall not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods, someone among them will invite you, and you will eat of the sacrifice.


The original disciples also knew that we are to stay away from idols as they told Paul:

Acts 15:20
Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.

Acts 15:29
You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.

Acts 21:25
&quot;But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote, having decided that they should abstain from meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication.&quot;


But Paul seems to think that he has knowledge while the original disciples have a weak conscience:

1 Corinthians 8
9But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. 
10For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol&#039;s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols? 
11For through your knowledge he who is weak is ruined, the brother for whose sake Christ died. 

Paul openly declares that those who have knowledge are at liberty to eat meat sacrificed to idols in an idols temple but to those who are weak, seeing one eat meat sacrificed to idols in an idols temple is a stumbling block to them because they are weak. Only those with knowledge can do so with a clear conscience.

WHAT THE HELL IS A FOLLOWER OF THE WAY OF YAHUSHUA DOING IN AN IDOLS TEMPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Pauls statement contradicts the commandments of YHVH...
Pauls statement contradicts the Words of the TRUE Apostles...
Pauls wrong teaching is revealed in the very Words of YAHUSHUA to the seven churches in Asia.

15.Revelation 2:14
&#039;But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.
 
16.Revelation 2:20
&#039;But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.


Paul did not teach that men should keep the Law and Commandments of YHVH.
Paul taught against the Law and Commandments of YHVH!
The original disciples and their disciples knew it (Acts 21:20-28)
That is why ALL THE CHRISTIANS IN ASIA TURNED AWAY FROM HIM!

2 Timothy 1:15
You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

Do no be deceived by the doctrines of men and the doctrines of the mother of Harlots Kymbo.

		<description>I have come across thisanti-Pauline type of theology before and quite frankly I find it completely repugnant. I find it even more repugnant when a *supposedly* on line Church starts pushing its own agenda in this manner. This theology results from of imbibing of skewed dispensationalist views - Marcion was fond  of *selected* passages of Paul, as he was able to twist the writings of Paul into *appearing* to advocate `cheap grace&#039;! It is apparent that this `watchman&#039; has bought this! I say this to you, sir - dispensationalism resulted from the counter-Reformation. Two Jesuit priests, Alcazzar and Ribera were commissioned by Rome to develop preterism and futurism - which is also known as dispensationalism (the theology of which had already been sown by Calvin&#039;s belief that only the `elect&#039; will be saved) so that the prophetic eyes of the Protestants might be diverted from Rome. In this she was emminently succesful, and so-called `Protestants&#039; who no longer protest the errors of Rome are heading back to her in droves, under the guise of ecumenicalism. Of course, corrupted `modern&#039; translations derived from Codex A and B and the neo-platonism and allegorization of Westcott &amp; Hort have also helped in having these people imbibe of Roman Catholic (rather - neoplatonic) doctrine. So if this website has set itself against the errors of Rome, then can someone please tell me why does this web site use corrupt translations of the Bible (not to mention apocryphal manuscripts which clearly teach Plato) which erode its theology????

Although Paul sees idols as `nothing&#039; in this word, he tells us in verse 13, that he will not `eat meat&#039; (presumably which has been sacrificed to idols -  this is how the majority of commentators view this verse) in case he causes his brother to offend. In chapter 9 he continues his argument by saying: 

`Do all of you not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? 
9:14 Even so has the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. 
9:15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 
9:16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 
9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. 
9:18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. 
9:19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 
9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 
9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 
9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 
9:23 And this I do for the gospel&#039;s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.&#039;

The reason why some people have a problem with Pauline theology, is that they simply don&#039;t understand what Paul taught - which was *not* keeping the law by `cheap grace&#039;! The only way by which we can `keep&#039; the Law is through a faith (agape) that works through love (Galatians 5:6). This leads to true commandment keeping - *including* keeping of the true 7th day Sabbath, which was both blessed and sanctified by the Lord. (Read the original commandment!) 
When in 325 the Roman Emporer Constantine presided over the Council of Nicea, he commanded that not only the pagan Trinity (which dates back to ancient Babylon) be enjoined as an article of faith, but also commanded that Mithraism be infused into `Christianity&#039; through the observence of the Day of the Sun (Sunday) - and the `Jewish Sabbath&#039; be abrogated. The Book of Revelation (which was written by the `Beloved Disciple&#039; John) in fact supports Pauls theology -  at the end of time when the Lord&#039;s people are again being persecuted by Rome, John tells us that the Lord *will* have a people who are faithful to Him: 

`Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (Rev. 14:6) 

Faith *and* works - the two wheels which drive the wagon. Without either one, the wheels fall off and we end up in the ditch!</description>

		<description>In 1 Cor. 10:18-22  he says they shouldn&#039;t eat food sacrificed to idols. I think he felt that he had the freedom to do it because Yeshua said that it wasn&#039;t what went into the body that defiled it but what came from it. Paul obviously felt  that it wasn&#039;t sinful, yet it also wasn&#039;t &quot;profitable&quot;. So in the end I believe his conclusion and final word was to abstain. I don&#039;t believe in any way that Paul is &quot;anti-christ&quot;.  The fellow believers of his time were upset with him at t times, but they were also wrong as  well due to the insight they had at the moment. They said the Jews shouldn&#039;t associate with gentiles, that they had to be circumsized before they were able to be saved, to follow the entire law God laid out to Moses etc...We shouldn&#039;t write them off as anti- even though what they were saying went against what He died for which was to set us free from the penalty of sin.  We still follow parts of the law but we aren&#039;t &quot;saved&quot; by following it. We simply follow it because we are saved. I think we should be very, very careful how we judge people.</description>

		<description>There is one statement that comes close to truth  &quot;maybe a handful of souls would make it to heaven, according to perfection and sinlessness&quot;
MT 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 
MT 7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it. 

Please heed Jesus and take the hard narrow path that FEW find ... only a handful.

Regarding other issues, Jesus was A MAN, according to himself and his eye-witnesses JN 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, A MAN that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 
ACTS 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, A MAN approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 

Jesus called himself  &#039;son of man&#039; and verified he was flesh, so was obviously born flesh, since what is born flesh is flesh according to Jesus  &quot;LK 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.&quot; 

Seed of a woman can undergo parthenogenesis, which results in a fully human flesh embryo (scientific reality). 
Despite Jesus being the flesh seed of a flesh human, here is what Cherylea claims  ... &quot;jesus was different, he had no flesh father, no flesh seed&quot;

Here is the teaching of antichrist ....  1JN 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 
2JN 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.</description>

		<description>cherylea,

Of course YHVH wants us to be sinless.

Why do you think He tells us to repent (turn away) from sin?

You sound more like an enemy of YHVH cherylea.
&quot;YHVH didn&#039;t say don&#039;t sin&quot;...
&quot;YAHU&#039;SHUA didn&#039;t say be perfect&quot;...

YAHU&#039;SHUA declared &quot;Repent (turn away from sin), for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand...

Are you going to agree with Him ...?
That we need to turn away from sin ...?

Or are you going to agree with His murderers who took offense when they were told to repent ...?

He was murdered because He came and told all men everywhere to REPENT.

You treat His blood as worthless and mock his death by professing to know Him and Love Him yet teach others that He did not tell us that to turn away from sin is the way into the kingdom of Heaven?

Who do you agree with cherylea...?

YAHU&#039;SHUA - &quot;Repent (turn away from sin), for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand ... ?

Or The adversary - &quot;You will not surely die if you sin&quot; ...?

YAHU&#039;SHUA SAID 
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48).

Why do you continually deny what the Messiah (Christ) said ...?

You say you love Him yet you will not accept His words...

1 John 5:
18We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him.

Genesis 4:
7If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.&quot;

Do you agree with YAHU&#039;SHUA cherylea ...?

&quot;Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect&quot;...

&quot;Repent (turn away from sin), for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand&quot;...



Or Do you deny Him ...?</description>

		<description>two things i want to address glenda. you said, god wants us to be sinless as he is, and jesus wants us to be perfect as he is perfect. how is this possible? by our humaness we are made from flesh and blood and have sin in us and with us from beginning to end. jesus was different, he had no flesh father, no flesh seed to which made him holy and special and able to be perfect. who in the bible was sin free? except jesus? there were very good and righteous people, not many but some, and god was pleased with them, but they were far from perfect or sinless. so who gets to go to heaven if we are to be sinfree? and perfect? can you tell me of any person you know that is able to reach these goals? even if there were, it would be so rare that at the end, maybe a handful of souls would make it to heaven, according to perfection and sinlessness. i cannot be perfect, i admit, i need grace, and am very greatful that i ride in on jesus coat tail instead of my own, because otherwize i would have no hope, and who of us could? are you perfect yet? and if not, then when would you ever be re ady to die, so that you are perfect at the time? i understand about repentance, im still confessing all to god constantly, but i already know i have forgivness before i even ask. i wont bother you and your site, since you also have told me not to come back, i appologised for my rudness, but you are still rude, and unforgiving. you arenot perfect yet, and if god should take you today, then you wouldnt make it into heaven according to your own words. so i hope you get it right glenda, and become sinfree, yet ive never met a human who could manage to be so pure in mind body and soul as you believe we need to attain to. good luck sweetheart, cause your gonna need it.</description>

		<description>Sister Glenda,

The Messiah&#039;s name YAHU&#039;SHUA means - &#039;YAH IS SALVATION&#039;

YAHU&#039;SHUA always directed Glory and Honour to the Father.

Even His name directs us to the All Merciful Father of all for our Salvation.

YAHU&#039;SHUA came &quot;7to open eyes that are blind, 
       to free captives from prison 
       and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness&quot;. (Isaiah 42) 

When we choose to follow Him... He sets us free.
We are now FREE to no longer serve sin.

You are right Sister Glenda, sin is like cancer.

When you find out that you have got it you have to cut it out or kill it. 
If you don&#039;t kill it... It will kill you.
If you don&#039;t deal with it all, it will come back to haunt you.
You must deal with it ruthlessly.
If you love it it will kill you.
Some people battle with it for years before they eventually either defeat it or succumb to it.

YAHU&#039;SHUA promised us that if we repent we would receive Remission of Sins.

Luke 3:
3And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,

That is exactly what happened to me when I first repented of my sins.

I felt clean.

I had dominion over sin and temptation.

My sin was in remission.

YHVH gives us remission of sins.
But just like cancer... If it comes back again it can kill you.
It&#039;s purpose is to kill you. That is it&#039;s nature.
Some medical studies report that cancer can thrive on the negativity of sin.
And like cancer... when sin is left untreated, it will kill you.

Those who come out of remission of sins can die just as those who come out of remission of cancer.

1 John 1:
9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

He cleanses us from all unrighteous... But if we don&#039;t deal with those sins that He has forgiven us for... it is very easy to dirty ourselves up again.

John 5:
14Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, &quot;Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.&quot;

Matthew 12:
 43&quot;Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it. 
 44&quot;Then it says, &#039;I will return to my house from which I came&#039;; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. 
 45&quot;Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.&quot;


Everybody is a slave.
Whether we like to admit it or not, everybody is a slave to something.

Some people are a slave to money. They strive all of their life trying to acquire more and more of it, but they are never satisfied, no matter how much they get. 

Some are slaves to food, some are slaves to their sensual desires, some are slaves to adrenaline, some to nicotine, some to alcohol, some to gambling, some to ill health, some to fear, some to pride.

The things that we are slaves to are our masters.

Those who are in bondage to sin and can not escape its grasp are slaves to sin. Sin is their master.

John 8:
 34Jesus answered them, &quot;Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
 
When we make the decision to serve YHVH and His Servant YAHU&#039;SHUA HA MASHIACH He sets us FREE. 

John 15:
15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master&#039;s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

PAULINE CHRISTIANS: We are no longer slaves of sin.

36&quot;So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 

Did You Hear That Everybody...???

&quot;if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed&quot;.

When we REPENT of (disdain and turn away from) our sin and are baptized for the remission of sins Our Heavenly Father gives us a helper, a comforter, He gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit.

John 8:
32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.&quot;


The Holy Spirit will never lead you into sin... 

NEVER... 

He is Holy.

Most christians refuse to take dominion over their sin.

It is very easy for Pauline christians to pass the buck... &quot;it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me&quot;. 

Get behind me satan.

1 John 3:
8He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil&#039;s work.

Just like the Hebrews who escaped from the bondage of slavery in Egypt and then later desired to go back, so too do most christians desire to go back into slavery to sin.

Why be like a dog that returns to its own vomit??

The Holy Spirit will not lead you that way. &quot;You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free&quot;

SIN IS LAWLESSNESS

1 John 3:
4Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

Matthew 13:
 41&quot;The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,

DO YOU HEAR THAT...???
THOSE WHO COMMIT LAWLESSNESS WILL BE GATHERED OUT OF HIS KINGDOM AND CAST INTO THE FIRE!!!

 42and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

 43&quot;Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father He who has ears, let him hear.


Why am I so adamant about this...???
What have I got to gain from it...???
NOTHING in this life.
 
I am not hoping to gain money from you... You will NEVER hear me ask you for money. 

FAME...?? I don&#039;t even use my name here... I am not hoping for recognition.

So WHY am I telling you these things that you don&#039;t want to hear...?

Because YHVH told me to. And I want to be pleasing in His sight.

Your pastor will not tell you these things that you don&#039;t want to hear.
You might leave his church and he&#039;ll have to take a pay cut.

I don&#039;t rely on you for anything,
I am FREE to tell you the truth.

YHVH LOVES YOU.
BUT HE CAN NOT LET SINNERS TURN HEAVEN INTO HELL!

Think about it.
If just one slave to sin entered into heaven... It would no longer be Heaven would it.


Our All Merciful Heavenly Father and originator of all things, YHVH has given us everything we need through YAHU&#039;SHUA HA MASHIACH to take dominion over sin.

YAHU&#039;SHUA came to reveal to us the Kingdom of Heaven. We have some of the truths that He revealed to us written down so that we can read them and dwell and meditate upon his revealed truths. We have the Holy Spirit who brings His teachings and His truths to our rememberance.


YAHU&#039;SHUA fulfilled the Law.

Matthew 5:
 17&quot;Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Follow YAHU&#039;SHUA...

As He Commanded...

Matthew 10:
 38&quot;And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

Follow after YAHU&#039;SHUA... Do not seek to abolish the Law... Seek to fulfill it...

You Can Not Serve 2 Masters.

You can not abide by the lies of Paul:
Ephesians 2:
 15by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,

And the truth of YAHU&#039;SHUA:
Matthew 5:
 17&quot;Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Revelation 18:
 4Then I heard another voice from heaven say: &quot;Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
 5for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.



Revelation 17:
5and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, &quot; BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.&quot;

Most people acknowledge the Catholic church as THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS.

If she is the mother of harlots... Then in Reality, that makes all other Pauline denominations her harlot children by default.


Revelation 18:
 4Then I heard another voice from heaven say: &quot;Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
 5for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.</description>

If you don&#8217;t deal with it all, it will come back to haunt you.<br />
You must deal with it ruthlessly.<br />
If you love it it will kill you.<br />
Some people battle with it for years before they eventually either defeat it or succumb to it.</p>
<p>YAHU&#8217;SHUA promised us that if we repent we would receive Remission of Sins.</p>
<p>Luke 3:<br />
3And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,</p>
<p>That is exactly what happened to me when I first repented of my sins.</p>
<p>I felt clean.</p>
<p>I had dominion over sin and temptation.</p>
<p>My sin was in remission.</p>
<p>YHVH gives us remission of sins.<br />
But just like cancer&#8230; If it comes back again it can kill you.<br />
It&#8217;s purpose is to kill you. That is it&#8217;s nature.<br />
Some medical studies report that cancer can thrive on the negativity of sin.<br />
And like cancer&#8230; when sin is left untreated, it will kill you.</p>
<p>Those who come out of remission of sins can die just as those who come out of remission of cancer.</p>
<p>1 John 1:<br />
9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.</p>
<p>He cleanses us from all unrighteous&#8230; But if we don&#8217;t deal with those sins that He has forgiven us for&#8230; it is very easy to dirty ourselves up again.</p>
<p>John 5:<br />
14Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, &#8220;Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Matthew 12:<br />
 43&#8243;Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it.<br />
 44&#8243;Then it says, &#8216;I will return to my house from which I came&#8217;; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.<br />
 45&#8243;Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Everybody is a slave.<br />
Whether we like to admit it or not, everybody is a slave to something.</p>
<p>Some people are a slave to money. They strive all of their life trying to acquire more and more of it, but they are never satisfied, no matter how much they get. </p>
<p>Some are slaves to food, some are slaves to their sensual desires, some are slaves to adrenaline, some to nicotine, some to alcohol, some to gambling, some to ill health, some to fear, some to pride.</p>
<p>The things that we are slaves to are our masters.</p>
<p>Those who are in bondage to sin and can not escape its grasp are slaves to sin. Sin is their master.</p>
<p>John 8:<br />
 34Jesus answered them, &#8220;Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.</p>
<p>When we make the decision to serve YHVH and His Servant YAHU&#8217;SHUA HA MASHIACH He sets us FREE. </p>
<p>John 15:<br />
15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master&#8217;s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.</p>
<p>PAULINE CHRISTIANS: We are no longer slaves of sin.</p>
<p>36&#8243;So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. </p>
<p>Did You Hear That Everybody&#8230;???</p>
<p>&#8220;if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed&#8221;.</p>
<p>When we REPENT of (disdain and turn away from) our sin and are baptized for the remission of sins Our Heavenly Father gives us a helper, a comforter, He gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>John 8:<br />
32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Holy Spirit will never lead you into sin&#8230; </p>
<p>NEVER&#8230; </p>
<p>He is Holy.</p>
<p>Most christians refuse to take dominion over their sin.</p>
<p>It is very easy for Pauline christians to pass the buck&#8230; &#8220;it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me&#8221;. </p>
<p>Get behind me satan.</p>
<p>1 John 3:<br />
8He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil&#8217;s work.</p>
<p>Just like the Hebrews who escaped from the bondage of slavery in Egypt and then later desired to go back, so too do most christians desire to go back into slavery to sin.</p>
<p>Why be like a dog that returns to its own vomit??</p>
<p>The Holy Spirit will not lead you that way. &#8220;You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free&#8221;</p>
<p>SIN IS LAWLESSNESS</p>
<p>1 John 3:<br />
4Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.</p>
<p>Matthew 13:<br />
 41&#8243;The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,</p>
<p>DO YOU HEAR THAT&#8230;???<br />
THOSE WHO COMMIT LAWLESSNESS WILL BE GATHERED OUT OF HIS KINGDOM AND CAST INTO THE FIRE!!!</p>
<p> 42and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. </p>
<p> 43&#8243;Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father He who has ears, let him hear.</p>
<p>Why am I so adamant about this&#8230;???<br />
What have I got to gain from it&#8230;???<br />
NOTHING in this life.</p>
<p>I am not hoping to gain money from you&#8230; You will NEVER hear me ask you for money. </p>
<p>FAME&#8230;?? I don&#8217;t even use my name here&#8230; I am not hoping for recognition.</p>
<p>So WHY am I telling you these things that you don&#8217;t want to hear&#8230;?</p>
<p>Because YHVH told me to. And I want to be pleasing in His sight.</p>
<p>Your pastor will not tell you these things that you don&#8217;t want to hear.<br />
You might leave his church and he&#8217;ll have to take a pay cut.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t rely on you for anything,<br />
I am FREE to tell you the truth.</p>
<p>YHVH LOVES YOU.<br />
BUT HE CAN NOT LET SINNERS TURN HEAVEN INTO HELL!</p>
<p>Think about it.<br />
If just one slave to sin entered into heaven&#8230; It would no longer be Heaven would it.</p>
<p>Our All Merciful Heavenly Father and originator of all things, YHVH has given us everything we need through YAHU&#8217;SHUA HA MASHIACH to take dominion over sin.</p>
<p>YAHU&#8217;SHUA came to reveal to us the Kingdom of Heaven. We have some of the truths that He revealed to us written down so that we can read them and dwell and meditate upon his revealed truths. We have the Holy Spirit who brings His teachings and His truths to our rememberance.</p>
<p>YAHU&#8217;SHUA fulfilled the Law.</p>
<p>Matthew 5:<br />
 17&#8243;Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.</p>
<p>Follow YAHU&#8217;SHUA&#8230;</p>
<p>As He Commanded&#8230;</p>
<p>Matthew 10:<br />
 38&#8243;And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.</p>
<p>Follow after YAHU&#8217;SHUA&#8230; Do not seek to abolish the Law&#8230; Seek to fulfill it&#8230;</p>
<p>You Can Not Serve 2 Masters.</p>
<p>You can not abide by the lies of Paul:<br />
Ephesians 2:<br />
 15by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,</p>
<p>And the truth of YAHU&#8217;SHUA:<br />
Matthew 5:<br />
 17&#8243;Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.</p>
<p>Revelation 18:<br />
 4Then I heard another voice from heaven say: &#8220;Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;<br />
 5for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.</p>
<p>Revelation 17:<br />
5and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, &#8221; BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.&#8221;</p>
<p>Most people acknowledge the Catholic church as THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS.</p>
<p>If she is the mother of harlots&#8230; Then in Reality, that makes all other Pauline denominations her harlot children by default.</p>
<p>Revelation 18:<br />
 4Then I heard another voice from heaven say: &#8220;Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;<br />
 5for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.</p>
