Dear John:
This is a lesson I taught in Bible College in the early 1980 and how fitting it is for today. I send it with my love and best wishes and truly pray that people will read it and look up the Scriptures and check their own hearts. I gladly share it with all and pray that people will truly look for Jesus more than signs and wonders and begin to grow in their knowledge of the Word of God.
A Study Thru the Word.
Could you possibly be a Partaker of the Mark of the Beast and the Great Apostasy, in the Last Day and Not Realize it?
Are you a part of the Bride of Christ today or are you a part of the Great Falling Away of the Last Day?
You can know if you are willing to let the Word of God test your Heart. This Test could involve whether you Love Your Religious Traditions more than you do the Whole Counsel of the Word of God.
Could you have found a False Security in a Doctrine that Actually Counsels Rebellion to God & does not Confirm you to Godliness.
Could it be possible for the Mark of the Beast to be on those who have found a False Security in the Doctrine of Men, rather than conformity to Godliness and the Word of God?
Do you Really Clearly Understand what the Doctrines of Demons mentioned in 1 Tim. 4:1 mean for today?
Do you Really Understand what the Great Falling Away and the Mark of the Beast is & if not, could you possibly be deceived into being a Part of it?
God Tests the Heart of Everything that He creates.
For the sake of time and space I will leave the Scriptures for you to look up. PLEASE Take the Time, as Your Life may Depend on Your Understanding of This Lesson!
Gen.1: 26 Now in the beginning Adam was created in the Image of God. He had a Total Innocence and a Pure Heart, with no Impure Motives. He was Holy and Blameless.
Gen 2: 8,9 & 15-17 Was Adam given the Choice to Choose between the Tree of Life or the Tree of Death? Did God say" you shall surely die" if you eat of the Tree of Death? Now we see the Hearts of Adam and Eve Tested.
Gen: 3:1 Did satan Pervert and Twist the Word of God? Compare what satan said and what God said in Gen.: 2:16-17.( "Indeed hath God said" )
Gen 3: 2-3 Eve Did Not Resist satan's Perversion of Gods Word. Did Eve Change Gods Word by saying "nor touch it lest you die?"
Did God say "You Shall Surely Die?"
Now we come to a Direct Contradiction of the Word of God. satan Entices and Tempts Adam and Eve with False words or Another Doctrine.
Gen 3: 4 Did God say in Gen 2:17; "You Shall Surely Die?" Did satan say "you surely shall not die" or in other words, hath God Really Said?
Could this be the First Doctrine of satan in the Bible? Is this like the Doctrines of Demons? Do demons carry out the Plans, Thoughts and Schemes of satan?
Could a Doctrine of satan or a Doctrine of Demons be to speak Contrary to what God says? "Hath God really said?"
Did satan Repudiate and Contradict the Words of God?
Please make note of This! Compare This with Acts 13: 45-46.
What was the Tree of Death from which Eve ate?
Gen 3: 6 Notice, this tree was good for food, a delight to the eyes and desirable to make one wise. Could this be the Lust of the Eyes, the Lust of the Flesh and the Boastful Pride of Life? 1 John 2:16
Did Eve Choose with her Heart, Life or Death?
DID GOD SAY, "YOU SHALL SURELY DIE?"
Gen 3: 7 Is Sin and Death now working in Them?
Was Eve led astray by a Different Spirit? Did the serpent Deceive Eve with Another Doctrine? Another Gospel? Could this possibly be like receiving Another Spirit?
Gen 3:13 The serpent had Deceived Eve with Another Doctrine. You or I can Lose the Likeness and Image of God, by having a Rebellious and Impure Heart.
Romans 5:12 Did Sin and Death spread to All men through Adam? Sin and Death is the Rebellious Cursed Nature of satan. Every Person is born with this Same Cursed Nature of satan. Therefore, Every Man Walks in the Image and Likeness of satan. His Heart Loves and Lives for this Cursed Nature. He is in Total Darkness and he does Not know that satan is his Master and that Death and Judgment are upon him.
Col. 3:5-9 Do the Lusts of the Flesh mentioned in verse 5 and 8 represent the Character of God or the Rebellious Sin Nature of satan? Does your Bible say that Wrath and Judgment are upon These Things? God has Not changed today, has He? Isn't Wrath and Judgment Still on those who Practice These Things?
Please Note, This Sin and Death Nature Is the Lust and Deeds of the Flesh. Adam and Eve Obeyed satan Rather than God. You become Conformed to the Image of the Master of whom you Obey.
See Romans 6:16
Gal. 5:19 Now the Deeds of the Flesh are Evident, the Deeds Represent the Cursed Nature of Satan. Some of the Deeds of the Flesh are;
Pride
Ego
Rebellion
Selfishness
Hate
Anger
Murder
Temper
Unforgivingness
Gossip
Jealously
Envy
Strife
Slander
Immorality
Lying
Do Not All these Attributes Apply Also to satan?
Please Look Up and Find as many Scriptures on the above Flesh Activities and list them and see what follows these actions.
The Sin and Death Nature is; Selfishness and Self Centered, NOT LOVE.
A Sin Rebellious Lust Nature (Cursed Nature) Not a Divine Nature. these are the Opposite of the Divine Nature.
The Image and Likeness of satan Not God. The Fruit of this Rebellious Lust Nature Is to Live for Yourself, Not considering God in Your Motives or Decisions. This Is the Fruit of a Selfish, Self Centered Sin and Death Nature.
Adam's Heart was Tested and he Failed. The last Adam was Tested and He was Victorious.
Luke 4:1-18
Luke 4:1 Jesus was full of the Spirit of God; and led by the Spirit to have His Heart Tested.
Now Begins the Temptations of the Lusts of the Flesh.
Luke 4:2 Who Tempted Jesus?
Luke 4:3 Temptations number 1 the Lust of the Flesh.
Luke 4:4 The Shield of Faith is the Word of God.
Luke 4:5-7 Temptation number 2 the Lust of the Eyes.
Luke 4:9-11 Temptation number 3 the Boastful Pride of Life ( this Temptation Represents the Boastful Pride of Life in that satan Encouraged Jesus to make a show of Himself, Perform a Miracle, so the People would follow Him. The Boastful Pride of Life Always Chooses the way of Self-Gratification, satan wanted Jesus to do the Works of God His Own Way< Not God's way. Like All the Other Temptations the Enemy Perverts the Word, he uses it, Twists it to make it say something God did Not say..Hath God Really Said???????
Luke 4:18 Jesus Receives the Power of the Spirit.
Note Jesus had Preformed No Miracle, Healing or Deliverance up to this time.
Luke 4:13 Jesus Finished and was Victorious in Resisting the devil in Every Temptation of the Lust of the Flesh, Lust of the Eyes and the Boastful Pride of Life.
Luke 4:18 Jesus having Established His Heart Holy, Blameless and Pure, Begins the Three Fold Ministry of Preaching, Healing and Deliverance to the Captives of the World.
We are Tempted and our Hearts Tested just like Adam, just like Jesus. We Choose the Way of Adam, resulting in Sin and Death. You will Know Them by Their Fruits.
Or We Choose the Way of Jesus, Resisting the Lust, Flesh, Rebellion to God, Resulting in Sanctification and Salvation.
Hebrews 4:15 Does your Bible say we are Tempted like Jesus was Tempted?
Hebrews 4:16 Does your Bible say God has Provided a Throne of Grace where you can find Help in the Time of Testing?
Hebrews 2:18 Does your Bible say that Jesus Suffered in the Flesh by Resisting the devil while Tempted? And does It say He, Jesus is able to Come to the Aid of Those who are Tempted those who Also Suffer by Resisting the Lust rebellion of the flesh. All who name the name of Jesus are called to walk just as Jesus also walked.
1 Peter 2:21 Does your Bible say you are to suffer as Jesus suffered. (note You suffer by resisting the lusts of the flesh.) Read verses 18-20. Does this require some suffering in the flesh?
1 Peter 2:24 Does your Bible say that Jesus Bore Our Sins In His Body? That we might die to Sin and Live to Righteousness!
1 Peter 4:12-13 The Word of God says you are Not to be Surprised or Shocked If You Undergo a Fiery Trial. Do Not consider it some strange thing that is happening to you. Does God tell you that these trials test your faith. Does it say that you share in the sufferings of Christ as you go thru these trials? Then do you think that the sufferings that Jesus endured must of been the fiery trials of the enemy against His flesh. Have we seen in the Word that the enemy tempted Jesus, just as he tempted Adam & Eve? Does your Bible say do not be surprised if you also get tested.
We saw that Jesus resisted satan with the Shield of Faith and the Word of God. Lets look closely at how Jesus used the Shield of Faith against the temptation of satan. 1 Peter 4:1 Does your Bible say Jesus suffered in the flesh? Remember we just saw in verses 12-13 that this is called sharing in the sufferings of Christ. Could that mean that you are called to suffer in the flesh by resisting fleshly lusts rebellion from satan? Well does your Bible say, Arm yourself also with the same purpose?
Why? because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, is that walking as Jesus walked. See 1 John 2:4-6 Notice your Bible says you then live no longer for your own lusts but for the will of God.( the lusts of the flesh are opposite of the Word of God) These fiery tests are the temptation of satan not the Holy Spirit.
James 1:13 Does this verse say these trials are from God? Who tempted Adam. who tempted Jesus, who tempts you?
James 1:16 Is this addressed to the Brethren?
Does your Bible say to expect the test?
1 Peter 5:8 Does the Word of God warn you to be alert against the devil? Satan devours you when he is able to tempt you through a fiery trial and get you to act on the rebellious lusts of the flesh. The lusts of the flesh produce the life, character, and cursed lust nature of satan in you. What does this say about traditions and doctrines that tell you to ignore the devil?
1 Peter 5:9 Does your Bible say resist the devil by the Shield of Faith and by suffering in the flesh.Did Jesus do this. Does your Bible clearly say that Brethren, everywhere experience the same trials and sufferings in the flesh? 1 Peter 5:10 After you have suffered for awhile by resisting the rebellious lust temptations of Satan against the flesh. God Himself will Establish your Heart in Righteousness, this is how the Divine Nature is Produced in you, by the Spirit of God.
2 Peter 1:4 The precious and magnificent promises are the Word of God. Does your Bible say that through the Word of God you become a partaker of the Divine nature of God? ( Is this Being Born Again by the Word of God.)
When the divine nature of God is produced in you, as you hold fast the Word of God and resist the fiery temptations of satan( resist by suffering in the flesh to do the will of God), You escape the corruption in the world by lust. 2 Peter 1:4-10
2 Peter 1: 11 Does your Bible cleary say that In this way you enter the kingdom of God?
Lets review something, Have we read in your Bible that you are to live no longer in the flesh by indulging the lusts of the flesh? Does you Bible say that you are to resist the lusts of the flesh so as to live for the will of God.
Read Matt 7: 21 Does you Bible cleary warn you that not everyone who is saying Lord, Lord will enter heaven? Does it say only those who do the will of God enter heaven?
Did 1 Peter 4: 2 say You No Longer Live for the Lusts of men, But for the Will of God.
God has NOT Changed His Mind Has He? God has Never changed His mind about rebellion: nor has satan stopped trying to pervert the Word of God by telling people, " You surely shall not die".
Colossians : 2:4 Does your Bible tell you that you could be deluded with a persuasive argument?
Col 2: 6 Are you to walk in Christ Jesus? Compare this verse with Ephesians 4: 17-20, and 1 John 2: 4-6.
Col 2: 8 Does your Bible warn you about being taken captive? Do people get taken captive through the traditions of men?
Colossians: 2:11 Does your Bible say that those in Christ have a circumcision not by man's hands but by the putting off of the body of the flesh? (Note The Word says "Putting off the body of the sins of the flesh.")
1 Thess 4:3-5 Does your Bible say the will of God is your sanctification ( walk in holiness)? Does it say that the will of God is that you possess your own vessel ( body of flesh) in sanctification (holiness) not in lustful passions( yielding to the lust rebellion of the flesh)?
1 Thess 4:7-8 Are you called for impurity in your life or to sanctification? Does your Bible clearly say to you that if you reject this" You reject God? HATH GOD REALLY SAID?
Now let me ask you, if you resist the Will and the Word of God is this not the same rebellion to God as the first Adam? Has God changed?
Hebrews 12:14 Does your Bible cleary teach that without Sanctification you will not see the Lord.
Romans 13:2 You are told in your Bible to lay aside the deeds of darkness (lust rebellion of the flesh) & put on the armor of light. did Jesus put on the armor of light in resisting the temptations of the devil? Read Ephesians 6: 11-17.
Romans 13:13 Are you told in your Bible that we are not to walk in the lusts of the flesh ( things like sensuality, immorality, strife, jealously & indulging fleshly desires)?
Romans 13:14 Are you to make no provisions for the flesh in regard to its lusts? Hath God made a way for you to resist? God says you are to "put ON the Lord Jesus Christ".
Well how do we do that. Turn to 11 Corinthians 10.
11 Co. 10: 3,5,6 Does the Bible say You are in a War & that You are to Take Captive Your Thoughts? Does the Word say You are to Destroy All Speculations and Every Lofty Thing (Every Firery Trial) raised up Against the Knowledge of God.
You are to take Every Thought Captive. In This Way, You put on the Lord Jesus Christ. You Enthrone Jesus as Lord in Your Heart and You Resist Every Lie the devil raised up Against the Word of God.
Do These Weapons Destroy the Strongholds of the devil? (compare verse 4 with Hebrews 4:15-16, 2:18.
Does your Bible say that when You take Every thought Captive You then Punish All Disobedience? In other words, You Put to Death the Rebellious Lust Thoughts raised up Against the Knowledge of God. (read Romans 8:13 &14.
1 Cor. 15:21-22 Does everyone like Adam Spread Death? Does Everyone like Jesus Spread Life?
1 Cor. 15:44 Does your Bible say Your Body of Flesh was Sown a Natural Body, but that it becomes a Spiritual Body?
1 Cor. 15:49 Do the sons of God bear the image of Jesus? Does this mean We Are to Walk, Talk, Act, and Be Righteous like Jesus?
1 Cor. 15:50 Are those people who do Not Bear the Image of Jesus Going to Heaven?
2 Tim. 2:19 Does your Bible say that everyone who names the Name of Christ ( Professes to be a Christian) is to Abstain from Sin ( Cease yielding to Lust Flesh Rebellion Against the Lordship of Jesus)?
Those who desire to be made into the image of Jesus will have their hearts tested. So as to be conformed into His Image.
James 1:13 Who Tempts you and me? Who Tempted Eve? Who Tempted Jesus?
James 1;14 Does your Bible say you are Tempted by the Lusts of the Flesh? How was Eve Tempted? How was Jesus Tempted? Did Eve resist the flesh? Did Adam? Did Jesus do the will of God by resisting the lust flesh temptations of the devil?
How are you Called to Walk, if you are in Christ Jesus? (see 1 John 2:6 read Mark 8:34,35. (You Die to Your Own Selfish Living in order to Find Your Life in Jesus)
James 1:15 Verse 14 says we are Enticed and Tempted by our own Fleshly Lust Desires.
Does your Bible say that when You Yield to those Lusts, You give Birth to Sin and to Death. Is this what happened to Adam? Would someone who does Not put on the Lord Jesus, but Rather Made Provisions for his Lust Flesh Desires, Be a Tree of Life or a Tree of Death?
Does verse 15 tell you that when You yield to the Lusts of the Flesh, that Sin and Death Now Works in You? When Adam and Eve were tempted, did they Resist the devil? Did Adam Become a Tree of Death?
When Jesus was Tempted, like we are, did He Resist the devil ? Did Jesus Become a Tree of Life?
James 1: 16 Is this Addressed to "Brethren"? Does this verse Warn You that You also could be Deceived? Were Adam and Eve Deceived? Were they not Deceived when they were Led Away, Enticed by their Own Lusts? Did they Believe a Lie of the devil?
1 Peter 1:14 Does this call You to Walk in Obedience by Not Being Conformed to your Former Lusts?
1 Peter 1:15-16 Does your Bible say you are to be Holy in All of Your Behavior? (note All of 1 Peter is to Show Us how to Overcome all the Rebellion of the Flesh & to Resist the devil.(POWERS OF DARKNESS)
2 Peter 1:4 God gave us His Word (Precious and Magnificent Promises) that we might Become Partakers of the Divine Nature. Those who have the Divine Nature No Longer Walk in the Corruption of Fleshly Lusts Rebellion. They Escape this Cursed Nature to Partake in the Divine Nature by Obeying God's Word. This is how We are Born Again by the Word of God. We are Reconciled back to the Image and Likeness of God from which We Fell Through Adams Lust Rebellion.
This Divine Nature Conforms Us to the Be more Like Jesus. (See Romans 8:2 In this way we are Restored to God.) Compare this with how Adam Lost the Image of God Through Lust Sin Rebellion.
2 Cor 5:17 Through the Divine Nature We Become a New Creation, Old Things Begin to Pass Away! 2 Cor 5:14-15 Does your Bible say that Those who Have the Love of Christ No longer Live for Themselves, but for God?
This is the Mark of a New Image. 2 Cor 5:18-19. We have been Committed to the Word of Reconciliation, being Reconciled back to the Image and Likeness of God. Col 3:1-10
Col 3:10 Does your Bible say the New Man is according to the Image of Him that Created him?
John 3:16-36 While verse 16 has become a Popular Memory Verse and one of my very favorites, most of the time verse 36 has been Ignored. He that Believes on the Son Hath Everlasting Life: he that Believeth Not the Son shall Not see Life; but the Wrath of God Abideth on Him.
Compare this with Hebrew 5:9 Jesus here becomes the Source of Salvation to All who Believe and OBEY Him. You know you can Believe and still do Not Obey, where will they Be?
John 3:19 Does the Word of God say that Judgement is on Those who Love Darkness ( Lust, sin, rebellion) rather than Light ( Jesus, the Truth)
John 3:20 Does your Bible say the reason people do not come to the Light of the Word of God or to Jesus is because they Love the Darkness and their Deeds are Evil? Colossians 1:12-13 says that Those who are Saints are Delivered out of the Kingdom of Darkness and into the Kingdom of Jesus. Therefore, the Kingdom of Darkness is the Rebellious Selfish Cursed Lust Nature of satan and the people who Love Darkness, Rather than Light. You beloved have been Blessed by God and are Delivered Out of This Sin Nature.
John 3:21 Does your Bible Teach that those who Practice the Truth, Rather than the Deeds of the Flesh Are the Ones Who Come to Jesus?
THE FRUIT OF A DIVINE NATURE IS A TREE OF LIFE
2 Peter 1:5-8 The Divine Nature is like the Fruit of a Good Tree and is described here for us.
2 Peter 1:9 The Blind are those who have Forgotten their Purification from Former Sins. Rev 3: 17 Look at this Church.
Gal. 5:24 A lot of people say they are In Christ Jesus today. Your question then, is have they Crucified Their Flesh with its Passions and Desires. Remember that this is a Life Long Process and we are Always working on the areas of our life that the Father Points Out for us to handle. Gal 5:24, Romans 8:9
Does it say You will not carry out the desires of the flesh?
Gal 5:17 Are you in a war? 2 Cor 10:3-6 Rom 8:7 Is the flesh Hostile to the Things of God? James 4:4 What does your Bible call those who Love the World?
I John 2:16 Do they become an Enemy of God? The reason that they are an Enemy of God is Because their Love of the world Causes them to be hostile to the things of God, Why? Because God Demands they Die to this Fleshly Carnal Lifestyle and they Choose the Way of Adam. Eph 2:1 Does your Bible refer to these that are Living in fleshly rebellion as Dead? Would you consider this person a tree of Life or a tree of Death?
Eph 2:2 Does your Bible say Formerly Walked? Does a Spirit of Darkness work in the Sons of Disobedience? Does your Bible teach that death is at work in them?
Eph 2:3 Formerly lived in the Lust of the Flesh. What is their Nature, Life or Death? The Sons of Disobedience Do Not Put to Death the Flesh, they Obey the Lusts of the Flesh Rather than Obey God. Is it Possible for them now to Find a False Security like Adam and Eve did.
My Bible says no, You cannot obey the Word of God and still remain a son of disobedience.
Does the Bible say that Those who Walk with Death Working in them, Indulge Fleshly Desires of the Mind? Would this be the Opposite of the Tree of Life, taking Every thought Captive to the Obedience of Christ. Eph 4:22, 2 Peter 2:4
Romans 8:14 Those who are Truly the Sons of God are Those being Led of the Spirit of God Are No Longer Slaves to their Sin Nature. The Qpposite - Rom 8:13.
Romans 8:13 Does the Bible say If you are Living by the Flesh, You Must Die?
Did God say You Shall Surely Die? Did satan say you shall surely not die? IF you are Being Led by the Spirit of God, Truly a Son, will You be Putting to Death Fleshly Lust Rebellion? Read again, 2 Cor 10:6 Obedience is Complete!
Romans 8: 17 Do Children Suffer in order to be Glorified with Jesus? Compare this Suffering once again with 1 Peter 4:1-2, 12-14
Romans 8:24 Does your Bible say Those who are Free from Sin and Death are Those who Walk According to the Spirit and NOT According to the Lust Desires of the Flesh?
Romans 8:5 IF you are Living according to the Flesh what does your Bible say that your Mind is Set on? Read Col 3:1-3 Do Those who Live by the Spirit, Set their Minds on the Things of the Spirit? How does this compare to 2 Cor 10:3-6? Are we to Take Captive Thoughts of Fleshly Sin Rebellion and Die to Them? Remember we are not to analyze the Word as Adam and Eve did, But we are required to Do What the Word says to Do.
Is the mind set on the Flesh, a Tree of Life or a Tree of Death? Now what about the mind set on the Spirit, is it on the Tree of Life?
Romans 8:7 The mind Set on Fleshly Sin Rebellion strikes back at God's Right to the Lordship of your Life. The mind set on the flesh lives for itself and Lives in Selfish Rebellion to God. Does this sound like a description of where a Fallen church might be living? People like this do not Obey the Word of God but Obey their own lust rebellion thoughts and desires. This was the Problem of Adam and Eve. Eph 4:23 The Renewed Mind Walks According to the Spirit by putting to Death the Deeds of the Flesh. See Romans 8:14-13,4-6 and 2 Cor 10: 5-6 Ephesians 4:24. Does the Bible say the New Self Is in the Image of God? Is this the way the image of God is Restored in Ones Life? The Bible says this New Self is Righteous and Holy. Read 1 Peter 4:14-16
Ephesians 5:1&2 Are the Beloved Children to be Imitators of God? Eph 5:3-5 This describes the Real Body of Christ, Created in the Image of Righteousness & Holiness. Do Those who Walk the Opposite of this have an Inheritance in the Kingdom of God? Does your Bible Warn you NOT to let Empty Words Deceive You about These Things? If God Warns You NOT to be Deceived, Does that mean We Could be Deceived? Did they become a Tree of Death or a Tree of Life. Do they receive an Empty Word like You Surely Shall NOT Die?
Did God say YOU SHALL SURELY DIE? Now let me ask you, did they believe a Lie? A Doctrine of satan? A Doctrine of Demons that said the Exact Opposite of what God Says? When satan tempted Jesus with False Empty Words, how did He resist? Luke 4:2-18, 2 Cor 10:3-5 and 1 Peter 4: 1-2.
Lets see now if Gods Word Warns us NOT to be Deceived like Adam and Eve by Listening to a Doctrine of Demons. 2 Cor 11: 2 A Pure Virgin is someone with a Pure Heart for Jesus. They are Without Impure and Selfish Motives having been Restored to the Likeness of God. They are like a Lamb, not like a Wolf....
2 Cor 11:3 Who deceived Eve? Does your Bible say Eve's mind was led astray? Does it say we can also be Led Astray, from the Simplicity and Purity of Devotion to Jesus? In other words, Eve received a Divided Heart that Indulged the Desires of the Flesh and the devil. This is how Your Heart sets up an Idol and Becomes Divided.
2 Cor 11: 4 Does your Bible say -This is the way you Receive Another Jesus, a Different Spirit, Powers of Darkness and a Different Gospel?
2 Cor 11:14-15 Can satan Disguise himself as a Angel of Light, a Servant of Righteousness? Could That be by bringing Empty Words, Doctrines of Demons and Traditions of men that spoke about Jesus but did Not Renew you to the Image of Christ Jesus? Would That be a Tree of Death?
2 Peter 2: 1,2, 10, 14 Would satan's Servants be called False Prophets?
Have you Clearly Seen that satan Tempts you to draw after the Lusts of the Flesh? Does your Bible say that False Prophets Servants of satan Entice People to Follow their Sensuality Fleshly Lusts & Rebellion, drawing them into Fleshly Indulgences.
Is This what satan did to Adam and Eve? Is This how False Prophets will Entice Many? Did satan Malign & Pervert the Truth with Eve? Do False Prophets Malign & Pervert the Way of the Truth? Does your Bible Warn you Repeatedly NOT to be Deceived?
1 Co. 15: 21-22. Did Adam become a Tree of Death? Did Jesus become a Tree of Life?
Now you Should be able to Understand Clearly what Jesus Meant when He talked of Good Trees and Bad Trees, Good Fruit and Bad Fruit.
Matt 7:13 Is the Way to Life, a Broad Road or a Narrow Road? What does the Broad Road Lead to?
Matt 7:14 Are Many going to find the Way to Life? Does that verse make it Important Enough to make Sure You Are on the Right Road? Matt 7:15. Do False Prophets Act like Lambs or like Wolves?
Matt 7:16-20 How are You going to Know Them?
Matt 7:17-19 What Happens to Every Tree that does NOT Bear Good Fruit. Is it a Tree of Life or a Tree of Death?
Matt 7:21 Will Everyone who Says Jesus Is Their Lord, Go to Heaven? Does your Bible Clearly Say Only Those Who Do The Will of God, Go to Heaven? Would They Be a Tree of Life?
1 John 2:15 Does your Bible Clearly say that You are NOT to Love This World? Is the Love of God in Anyone who Loves This World? 1 Cor 5:15 says Those who Have the Love of God Controlling Them, NO Longer Live for Themselves, but Live for God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read James 4:4 again.
John 12:25 IF You Live for Yourself, You Lose Your Life and Experience the Nature of the Tree of Death or satan.. If you read Proverbs 11:30. The Fruit of Righteousness is a Tree of Life.
1 John 2:16 Does your Bible say that the Lusts of the Eyes, Lust of the Flesh and Pride of Life is NOT of God, but Worldy.
1 John 2:17 Who Abides Forever?
1 Peter 4:1-2 Those who Do the Will of God, Suffer in the Flesh, Cease from Sin and do NOT Live for the Lusts of men. Once again, the Opposite of the Lust of Flesh is the Will of God.
James 4:4 By Loving the World (this is an Idol in ones Heart ), You Prove your Hostility (in Your Heart ), Against the Lordship of Jesus. A Friend of the World makes Himself an Enemy of God. Enemies of God do NOT Go to Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John 8:38,43,44 Jesus said that When You Cannot Hear the Word of God, it is because You Want to Do the Deeds of Your Father, satan! See John 3:19-21.
Believe In God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Beloved Holy Spirit!
2 Tim 4:3-5 Does the Word of God Warn You, that a time will come when the people will Choose Doctrines in Accord with Their Own Desires Rather than the Will of God?
Remember Matt 7:21
BE CAREFUL YOU DON'T TURN YOUR EARS ASIDE FROM THE WORD OF GOD!!!!;
A servant In Christ
Zelma
