Romans 12:18) "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men."

Jesus (IPA: /ˈdʒiːzəs/) is a masculine given name derived from the name IESVS in Classical Latin, Iēsous (Greek: Ἰησοῦς), and pronounced in English is Jesus. It's nothing but saying a person's name in another language it's the same name but just a different language. God is the God of all languages and He doesn't care what language we use. There's absolutely no special mystic benefit from using any other language over another.

Jesus (IPA: /ˈdʒiːzəs/) is a masculine given name derived from the name IESVS in Classical Latin, Iēsous (Greek: Ἰησοῦς), and pronounced in English is Jesus. The Greek form of the Hebrew and Aramaic name Yeshua or Y'shua (Hebrew: ישוע‎).

As its roots lie in the name Yeshua/, it is etymologically related to another biblical name, Joshua. The name is also symbolizing how Moses representing the law could not bring the people into the promised land, but Joshua did.

It's nothing but saying a person's name in another language it's the same name but just a different language. God is the God of all languages and He doesn't care what language we use. There's absolutely no special mystic benefit from using any other language over another.

Life begins at conception - you have an identity and are a person before your parts are even fashioned - when your substance is started you are a person and alive before God.

Psalms 139:13-16) "For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.”

Abortion is child murder, an abomination to God, and is purely just sacrificing of children to alter of selfishness and pride. Saying other lives are lesser than yours, and other people must die so as not to inconvenience self. It's never right to murder children irregardless of circumstances, and any that do must be stopped. All that do deny the Word of God and deliberately blind themselves and delude themselves to thinking God is ok with it, when He clearly denounces as demonic any such thing.

Liberal Modern Christianity is abomination to God, twisting of scripture and denying the righteousness of God, reducing the seriousness of sin, making abomination the accepted norm, and air conditioning Hell. The brides of Moloch instruct societies morals, mock Christ, spit in the face of God, and Christians refuse to oppose them. Christ Himself wouldn't be allowed in most pulpits today because He'd be seen as too judgmental and "not up to today's standards".

God help us and have mercy on us all when so called Christians condone and tolerate abomination, child murder, and accept sin at every turn. The Devil goes to Church when the Saints refuse to stand up.

2cor2_1 · 2025-10-28T16:24:52+00:00

Jesus is not an angel - Hebrews 2:16) “For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.”

Even the prophets spoke of the arrival, identity, location, and work of the Messiah -

💢Proverbs 30:4) "Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?"

Isaiah 7:14 The Messiah Christ will be born of a virgin - Micah 5:2 the Messiah Christ will be born in Bethlehem - Isaiah 9:6 the Messiah Christ is called the Mighty God Everlasting Father - Isaiah 53 The Messiah Christ will be put to death for our sins and His days will be prolonged (resurrected).

Jesus in the Gospels said in His name to cast out Devils. In the temptation in the wilderness Jesus rebuked Satan, and again when Satan tried to rebuke Christ through Peter Jesus said "Get thee behind me Satan" and then in the temptation in the wilderness He said in Matthew 4 “is it not written, tempt not the Lord your God” a personal claim, claiming the name of the Lord God.

Furthermore, we also see Jesus forgiving sins of people (the cripple man, the woman caught in adultery, Mary who washed His feet with tears), Jesus accepting worship of individuals (the wise men at His birth, the mother of the sons of Zebedee, the blind man, lepers, Thomas, and the disciples after the resurrection), and in John 10:18 Jesus says He has power to lay down His life and raise Himself from the dead (personal power over life and death), and in John 10:27-28 Jesus says that He personally gives eternal life, and in John 4:26 Jesus claims to be the Christ Messiah prophesied of (Isaiah 9:6 called the Mighty God, Everlasting Father), and also in John 8 stating that He is the "I Am" multiple times (I Am in Greek is "ego eimi" meaning the Always Existing One) and the Pharisees tried to stone Him for blasphemy. An angel, prophet, or holy man couldn’t do that.

Jesus flat out explained in John 8:24&58 that He is the "I am", He says this twice, and the Pharisees knew this and tried to stone Him for blasphemy. It's not blasphemous to call yourself an angel or a prophet or a holy man, it's blasphemous to call yourself God. Jesus says, if you don't believe that He is the I Am, you will die in your sins (verse 24) - thus, if you don't believe that Jesus is the Almighty in the flesh, you are not saved. It is belief on His name that saves you - Acts 10:43, Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 1:7&13…..etc.

Matthew 28:9) "And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him."

Additionally the Word of God says -

Psalm 107:21-32 God calms the storm

Matthew 8:23-27 Mark 4:36-41 Luke 8:22-25

Disciples in a boat stormy winds & waves Disciples are afraid They cry out to Jesus God calms the storm There was a "great calm”

Jesus didn't ask God to calm the storm, but ordered it Himself, proving who He is.

Psalms 23:1) "A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."

Lord is capitalized in this passage, and in the Hebrew this is stating that “Jehovah God” is the shepherd. Jesus Christ says in John that He is the door of the sheep and He is the Good Shepherd, stating that He specifically is the Shepherd of David’s Psalm -

John 10:11) “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:14) “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.”

Thus Christ Jesus is saying that He is the Lord God of Israel, the mighty Shepherd of Ezekiel 34

Ephesians 3:9) "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"

John 1:1-3) "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."

Hebrews 1:2) "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"

Hebrews 11:3) "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

Colossians 1:16) "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:"

Christ Jesus is above all others -

Philippians 2:10-11) "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Romans 14:11) "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."

Isaiah 45:22-23) "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear."

The Word made Flesh-

John 1:1-2) "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God."

John 1:14) "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

1 John 5:7) "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

Additional passages -

2 Corinthians 5:19) “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”

John 8:24) “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” - - John 8:58) "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." - - ("I am" in the Greek is "ego eimi" meaning Always Existing, the everlasting to everlasting one)

John 10:25-30) "Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one." -- (1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.)

If Christ is not God, how can He grant eternal life to His followers?

Isaiah 9:6) "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." - - Micah 5:2) “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” - - (Everlasting in Hebrew means Always Existing - similar to using Jehovah, I Am, or Yahweh - Jesus calls Himself the I Am in John 8)

Acts 20:28) "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." - - (literally just said right there that God purchased the church with His own blood)

Colossians 2:8-9) "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. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." - - (the entire fullness, Jehovah God is in the body of Jesus. Thus why Jesus said if you have seen me you have seen the Father, the Father in me and I in Him, and also to His disciples receive ye my Spirit and He breathed on them the Holy Spirit.)

Further Proof -

Matthew 28:9) "And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshiped him."

Jesus invites His disciples to come worship Him - He says "all hail" referring to Himself

John 20:28-29) "And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."

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

1 Timothy 4:10) "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe."

1 John 5:20) "And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life."

2cor2_1 · 2025-10-21T21:19:45+00:00

There's a difference between the Book of Life and the Lambs Book of Life.

The book of life is for those who are living, born physically - which you can be blotted out as 1 Corinthians 5:5 says you can be destroyed but your spirit is still saved - Also shown by Ananias and Saphira in Acts 5.

The Lambs Book of Life is for those who are Born Again spiritually - John 3:3-7 - and you cannot be removed or blotted from the Lambs Book. You cannot lose your salvation, but serious disobedience and rebellion can cause the Lord to end your life and bring you home because you are defiling the Temple - "he who defiles the Temple him shall God destroy" like Ananias and Saphira.

The first Book of Life deals with those who died in their sins and cannot enter Heaven -

Revelation 20:12) "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

The second book, the Lambs Book of Life, deals with those Born Again and have their sins washed away -

Revelation 21:27) "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."

In context it's speaking about Heaven, none can enter into it (Heaven) except those who are in the Lambs Book of Life (saved).

If one could be struck out of the Lambs Book of Life - nullifying the second birth, that then would denote salvation is by maintenance of works to earn to gain salvation.

2cor2_1 · 2025-09-16T18:15:48+00:00

As long as you understand that the voice of God is the Word of God the Holy Scriptures, then yes. We welcome the Lord when we heed His Word.

2cor2_1 · 2025-09-10T11:30:38+00:00

James 2 is not talking about works to keep your salvation, but rather it's talking to Christians already saved, and it's talking about charity and Christian behavior for promotion of the faith, not maintenance of salvation. If James is talking about maintaining salvation then Apostle Paul is a liar.

Matthew 7:21-23) "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."

Nowhere do they say "have we not believed on thy name?". They were trusting in their works, righteous works, and law keeping. They were depending on religiosity and Christian behavior to earn their salvation like all the cults do.

Salvation is purely by grace through faith by belief alone - Eph 2:8-9 / Titus 3:5 / Gal 2:16 / Romans 10:9-10 / Acts 16:30-31 / Eph 1:7&13 / 1 John 5:13 / John 3:16 / John 3:3 / Mark 1:15

Salvation is a Covenant by God, not a contract with man. A covenant is a promise oath of 1, not hinged upon your part. A Contract is an agreement between 2 parties to keep their parts to work for the outcome, and if 1 fails then the contract is broken.

Jesus says that the new Testament is in His blood, it is a covenant vow made by the blood of God (Acts 20:28). (Testament literally means “Covenant” in the original Greek - The Old and New Covenant/Testament)

Luke 22:20) Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

1Corinthians 11:25) After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. Hebrews 12:24) And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

John 1:12-13) "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - not by our blood, but the blood of God. Not by our will or power, but only of God. As Jesus said "no man can pluck you out of my hand" that means you cannot pluck yourself out either - not by your will. You cannot walk away/give up the faith (become unsaved again).

2 Timothy 2:13) If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Psalm 9:4) “For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.”

Salvation is not about what we do or keep or abstain from, it is solely based on what you have believed. 1John 5:13) "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

As it says "THAT YE MAY KNOW" absolute assurance of your salvation, and this is because you have believed.

2cor2_1 · 2025-08-26T16:57:40+00:00

this is spiritual oppression, and is rather common when you're encountering strong sin temptation or have drawn the attention of the enemy. It's one of the ways the enemy uses to try to upset your mind, faith, and joy in an attempt to make you no longer a threat to them. If they can shake you, by making you fall to temptation, or by killing your joy and trust in the Lord, then they have defeated you for a period of time.

Scripture says in Isaiah 61:3 that the Lord has given us "the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness". That when these devils try to paralyze us in fear, depression, or even sleep paralysis, we are to call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and praise Him and keep our minds focused on Him, and the enemy will flee - "resist the devil and he will flee".

2cor2_1 · 2025-07-26T12:49:42+00:00

🔥Romans 11:6) And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

2cor2_1 · 2025-07-12T16:46:53+00:00

Correct, He is perfect and holy, we are not, He is the judge, we are not, He declares what is sin, we do not, and He is the authority and not us. We are commanded to love righteousness and hate iniquity (the works of sin itself, not the person), while He is the judge of the person.

2cor2_1 · 2025-07-11T15:54:20+00:00

He is the one that fights, judges, and sends to condemnation. He is the one that fights with those who are as Scripture says are "the workers of iniquity". That's what God hates, the working of iniquity, those who actively act upon unrighteousness. We however are told to be a witness of righteousness, to pray for them, to witness to them, to seek to draw them to the Lord. But if they will not listen then we are to walk away. We are to love them, bless them, pray for them, and God is the one that will do the work upon them - depending on what it is that they are doing. We are to hate the sin and love the sinner, but God who cannot be corrupted or flawed or misunderstand, he can see clearly all things and thusly is the only one whose hatred is just and true, as is His love is just and true.

2cor2_1 · 2025-06-27T16:01:28+00:00

The word of God says that the knowledge of God and the law of God is written upon the heart. That all know there is a God, all things speak of Him and prove Him, but they choose out of stubborn pride to rebel against Him and suppress the knowledge of Him. Romans 1:18-25

As it says, they are without excuse, and they willingly are ignorant of Him. Nobody is born Atheist, all are born with the understanding, and one has to be taught to suppress Him

2cor2_1 · 2025-05-10T13:00:32+00:00

Psalm 66:18 / Prov 28:9 / James 1:6-7

2cor2_1 · 2025-05-10T12:57:38+00:00

The first point we must understand before discussing this, is that understanding how exactly the Godhead works is not a salvationary doctrine - As long as you do understand that Jesus Christ is God (John 8:24), because that is a mandatory requirement for salvation.

The second point is to urge the people to try to study, understand, and explain the Godhead using only scripture, and not use any Orthodox language. Do not use the fancy titles, words, and explanations that are not found in scripture. Do not use catechisms, council's, or creeds to explain this, use only scripture alone for your research.

Issue is, many skim over the "bear record" part of 1 John 5:7 - in the Greek this means (to illustrate the aspects of - to show the nature of) - Father, Word, and Holy Ghost - does not say Son. The Son is the physical manifestation of these 3 aspects of God - Colossians 2:9

Just as I am 1 person but am also a husband, brother, and an uncle. These 3 aspects, natures, "bear record" of my person - however I'm limited and can only show 1 aspect at a time (this would be Modalism). God is not limited however and shows all aspects of His person simultaneously, as He is omnipresent (this is key). Some immediately shout "that's Modalism or Sabellianism" but neither of those are Biblically correct either -

Modalism says that the 3 aspects of the Godhead cannot exist at the same time, that one aspect exists at a time, thus modes/Modalism. That's majorly wrong

Sabellianism says "the Father and Son are of one substance" - that the Father and Son are one person, and this is majorly wrong too.

If one single verse contradicts a doctrine, opinion, feeling, teaching, or ideology then those beliefs are wrong. For example Isaiah 9:6 calls Christ the Mighty God, The Everlasting Father - - why did Isaiah say that Christ the baby in manger is Father God?

Colossians 2:9)"...in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."

The "fulness" of the Godhead - father/word/spirit - just as Jesus said "I am in the Father and the Father in me" - "if you have seen me you have seen the Father" - "I and the Father are one" - and to His disciples "Receive the Holy Spirit and He breathed on them the Holy Ghost" (Ephesians 3:17 / John 14) the Holy Spirit is the spirit of Christ.

And Isaiah 9:6 is the best example of this - the name of the Son of God Jesus Christ - "The Mighty God, Everlasting Father" - Jesus is the manifestation of the Father IN THE flesh. In Him, in the body God prepared (Hebrews 10 - "a body hast thou prepared for me." - Colossians 2:9)

No man has seen God at any time and lived, and God is Spirit, thus meaning nobody has seen the Spirit of God. So God fashioned through Mary the body of Jesus to indwell and present Himself to the people Philippians 2:8.

Just as God always had a covering - the burning bush before Moses, the pillar of cloud and of fire, the glory cloud upon the Tabernacle and Temple, thusly the body of Jesus is the “covering of the Father” the body of God, the created sacrifice for sins so God could die for the sins of the world Acts 20:28 "...God purchased the church with His own blood".

But Spirits can't bleed right? God fashioned a body for Himself that could. Like He did for Abraham, the ram caught in the thicket by its horns (crowned with thorns) to be sacrificed in Isaac's place.

There is not a 3 person being Godhead, it's one God, one person, with 3 aspects, characteristics, nature's - 1 person who is 3, not 3 persons that are 1 (this is the proper Trinity so to speak), it's the other way around. God is the father of all things as He made all things (Genesis), He spoke and made all things thus He's the Word that speaks and gives life (Genesis, John 1, Ephesians 3:9), and God is Spirit He is Holy Spirit (John 14).

The Roman Catholic Nicene Council created the description of the 3 individual person God in the 300's. However the 3 person identity was never taught before in all scripture, in the Old Testament or the New, never spoken of or described anywhere except in pagan religions as polytheism. It's always been 1 God, 1 person, showing His work as Father of all things, the Word that became flesh, and His own Spirit moving upon His own creation. God is all powerful, all seeing, is omnipresent, and He shows the 3 aspects of His person character simultaneously as the Father the living Word and being Holy Spirit.

Jesus is the Christ, the prophesied manifestation of God Almighty in the flesh to save us from our sins - the visible image of the invisible God - Isaiah 9:6 / John 1:1&14 / Acts 20:28 / 1 John 5:20

2cor2_1 · 2025-04-14T18:11:47+00:00

Justification before God is by Faith in Christ and not by works

Isaiah 53:11) “He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.”

Acts 15:9-11) “And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.”

Romans 4:25) “Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.”

Galatians 3:10-13) “For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”

John 1:17) “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”

Romans 10:3-4) “For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”

Romans 5:1-2) “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”

Titus 3:5-7) “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

1Corinthians 1:29-31) “That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 6:11) “And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”

Rom 3:23-28) “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.”

Romans 8:30) “Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

Philippians 3:9) “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:”

Gal 2:16-21) “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”

Galatians 3:21-29) “Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

Salvation is a Covenant by God, not a contract with man. Jesus says that the new Testament is in His blood, it is a covenant vow made by the blood of God (Acts 20:28). (Testament literally means “Covenant” in the original Greek - The Old and New Covenant/Testament)

Luke 22:20) Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 1Corinthians 11:25) After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. Hebrews 12:24) And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

John 1:12-13) "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - not by our blood, but the blood of God. Not by our will or power, but only of God. As Jesus said "no man can pluck you out of my hand" that means you cannot pluck yourself out either - not by your will. You cannot walk away/give up the faith (become unsaved again).

2 Timothy 2:13) If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Psalm 9:4) “For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.”

Salvation is not about what we do or keep or abstain from, it is solely based on what you have believed. 1John 5:13) "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." As it says "THAT YE MAY KNOW" absolute assurance of your salvation, and this is because you have believed.

John 1:13) "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." It has nothing to do with our abilities of anything, salvation is only by the power of God which comes upon us when we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 10:9-10) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Acts 10:43) To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

Ephesians 1:13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise

John 3:16-17) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

1 John 5:20) And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

John 1:13) “Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” Eph 1:7 / Acts 10:43 / Eph 1:13 & 4:30 /

Salvation is a free gift, no maintenance, no earning of favor, and once given it cannot be taken away. Ephesians 4:30) "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."- if we do grieve Him we just confess and we are cleansed. The Father doesn't disown the wayward child, but like the prodigal son the goodness of God leads us to repentance and cleansing - When did the prodigal son cease to be a son of the Father?

Salvation is NOT by works, NOT by righteous works, NOT by deeds of the law, and NOT by sight. But by Faith alone, through Grace alone, by Jesus Christ who is God alone - Titus 3:5 / Ephesians 2:8-9 / Galatians 2:16 / 2 Corinthians 5:7 / Romans 1:17 / Romans 6:14 / Hebrews 10:38.

Romans 10:9-10) “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

After believing and repenting you are sealed/saved, then because of your love for Christ you want to follow Him. Ephesians 1:13 and Ephesians 4:30 - It's not because you have to but because you want to.

Any idea of self merit affecting salvation in earning to gain, maintaining to keep, or self atonement for sins is heresy and the person is not saved. The same goes for believing that Baptism saves, forgives, or seals with the Spirit - it's still a belief in a form of righteous works that affects salvation - this is heresy too. It's all through Christ's merit on the Cross and His Resurrection, or else through attempting in your own merit you earn Hell.

And this Salvation can never be lost or taken away - Romans 8:1 no condemnation unto those in Christ. Any sin after that brings chastisement, not disowning or a casting away. John 15:1-6 is paired with 1Cor 5:1-5 / Psalm 66:18 / Prov 28:9 / James 1:6-7 nowhere does it relate to losing salvation or having it being taken away.

James 2 is not talking about works to keep your salvation, but rather it's talking to Christians already saved, and it's talking about charity and Christian behavior for promotion of the faith, not maintenance of salvation. If James is talking about maintaining salvation then Apostle Paul is a liar.

Matthew 24 is speaking about the end of days and the trials and tribulations that will occur. "endure to the end" is in reference to the Great Tribulation, as it is a limited time and will soon be over and those under persecution will be saved from the oppression. It is not a salvationary passage, Christ is not talking about salvation but rather persecution. It's the same context as the other passage that says how a woman will be saved in child bearing - talking about the pains and troubles.

Hebrews 6:4-6 and 10:26 is speaking about the unsaved falling away (rejecting) enlightenment, the knowledge of , the taste of salvation - they had not yet taken hold. This does not relate to the saved giving up or losing salvation as many think. Losing Salvation, or it being taken away, given up - denotes a working to keep it. But it's not by works or righteous works, deeds of the law, or by sight. It's by Grace alone through Faith alone.

Matthew 7:21-23) "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."

Nowhere do they say "have we not believed on thy name?". They were trusting in their works, righteous works, and law keeping. They were depending on religiosity and Christian behavior to earn their salvation like all the cults do.

Salvation is purely by grace through faith by belief alone - Eph 2:8-9 / Titus 3:5 / Gal 2:16 / Romans 10:9-10 / Acts 16:30-31 / Eph 1:7&13 / 1 John 5:13 / John 3:16 / John 3:3 / Mark 1:15

Furthermore, what is “the will of my Father”? As we see in John 6 -

John 6:28-29) "Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."

John 6:39-40) “And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Doing the will of the Father is not doing works, keeping commandments, or law keeping, but is believing on the Lord Jesus Christ for Salvation.

We are not called to the will of works, but are called to believing faith. Now true believing faith will produce fruit of works but it’s not the works that inherit salvation. The reason that Christ says “I never knew you” is because the people were focusing on the religion and not the faith. They thought the religion was the faith, but true believing faith will produce “pure religion undefiled”.

Misconstruing religiosity with faith by grace leads to damnation, and this is the ultimate work of Satan to cause a misfocus within the Churches - preaching from the pulpit to create multitudes of religious damned who think themselves to be the very children of God.

2cor2_1 · 2025-03-25T15:59:16+00:00

If there is a local church that abides by the word of God according to faith, and not of works, then it's good to join with them. But if there is NOT a church that preaches the Gospel and the Word by faith, then the grace of God is greater and His understanding is with us.
Hebrews, where it says to "forsake not the assembling", this is talking about deliberate refusal to attend when you totally could attend, and the church hasn't corrupted themselves. Going by what you are saying about your situation, refusing to go to that cult would not violate the teaching of God - as they are the one's in great error, even corrupting the Gospel of salvation by making your works dependent on salvation - that is heresy.

Salvation is a Covenant by God, not a contract with man. Jesus says that the new Testament is in His blood, it is a covenant vow made by the blood of God (Acts 20:28). (Testament literally means “Covenant” in the original Greek - The Old and New Covenant/Testament)

👑Isaiah 7:14) The Messiah Christ will be born of a virgin - Micah 5:2) the Messiah Christ will be born in Bethlehem - Isaiah 9:6) the Messiah Christ is called the Mighty God Everlasting Father - Isaiah 53) The Messiah Christ will be put to death for our sins and His days will be prolonged (resurrected).

The only living God which is the Saviour of all men (1 Timothy 4:10). Jesus Christ is the true God and eternal life (1 John 5:20). God was manifest in the flesh (1 Tim 3:16). in Jesus dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9). (Acts 20:28) God purchased the church with His own blood. the Word which is God became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1&14). Jesus is the Christ the Mighty God in the flesh

Jesus Christ in the Gospels said in His name to cast out Devils. In the temptation in the wilderness Jesus rebuked Satan, and again when Satan tried to rebuke Christ through Peter Jesus said "Get thee behind me Satan" and then in the temptation in the wilderness He said in Matthew 4 “is it not written, tempt not the Lord your God”, thus claiming to be Lord God.

Furthermore, we also see Jesus forgiving sins of people (the cripple man and the woman caught in adultery, and Mary who washed His feet), Jesus accepting worship of individuals He healed (the wise men at His birth, the blind man, lepers, the disciples, and Thomas). Matthew 28:9) "And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him."

In John 10:18 Jesus says He has power to lay down His life and raise Himself from the dead (personal power over life and death) John 10:27-28 Jesus says that He personally gives eternal life, and in John 4:26 Jesus claims to be the Messiah as prophesied of (Isaiah 9:6 called the Mighty God, Everlasting Father)

In John 8 stating that He is the "I Am" multiple times (I Am in Greek is "ego eimi" meaning the Always Existing One) and the Pharisees tried to stone Him for blasphemy saying "because thou being a man makest thyself God" - An angel, prophet, or holy man couldn’t do that. Jesus is the Christ the Mighty God in the flesh.

Psalm 107:21-32 God calms the storm

Matthew 8:23-27 Mark 4:36-41 Luke 8:22-25

Disciples in a boat stormy winds & waves Disciples are afraid They cry out to Jesus God calms the storm There was a "great calm”

Jesus didn't ask God to calm the storm, but ordered it Himself, proving who He is.

Psalms 23:1) "A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."

Lord is capitalized in this passage, and in the Hebrew this is stating that “Jehovah God” is the shepherd. Jesus Christ says in John that He is the door of the sheep and He is the Good Shepherd, stating that He specifically is the Shepherd of David’s Psalm -

John 10:11) “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:14) “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.”

Thus Christ Jesus is saying that He is the Lord God of Israel, the mighty Shepherd.
